THE GEORGIAN COMES TO
GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE
Tis wisdom to beware
And better shun the bait than struggle In the snare.
—DRYDEN.
Protection for the Children.
The whole state rejoices in the fact that tho Bell
child labor bill has been passed by the house and It Is
now certain that it will become a law.
This bill, which is one of the most vital with which
the general assembly has had to deal at the present ses
sion, has been so framed by Its author as to bo Identical
with a measure Introduced In the senate Jointly by 23
members. It waa therefore a foregone conclusion that
if the house could be induced to pass It without amend
ment It would' be accepted by the senate and would
soon become a law. The author of the bill and his lieu
tenants, by good generalship, succeeded In steering It
through the house without alteration, and it has now
gono to the upper house where It will be promptly
adopted.
A sigh of relief goes up all over the state, at the
•realisation that this long, hard fight la over at last. Tho ngalnat ' the ' Sou th 'African colonists.
American makes them at times amusing—Mr. Bryan Is j thy which wells within his heart with perennial fresh
looked upon ns a "pretender" to tho presidency and la
trying to defraud Longwortb of his rightful heritage.
Nicholas himself has given no encouragement to the
Idea that he was "the belr apparent" to the presidency,
and he even Indulged the hope that when Mr. Bryan
came to England public attention would ho diverted from
himself, at least so far as any presidential possibilities
were concerned. Instead of this, however, the British
public Insisted upon regarding Mr. Bryan as an Inter
loper, or "pretender.” and not a few hints of this char
acter. Intended as sympathy for hts cause, were ex
pressed to Mr. Longwortb.
All of this Is very amusing, but It Is entirely In keep
ing with the Igniranee of that British public which
thinks It Is still possible to hunt buffalo in Central Park
nnd that a run over to San Francisco Is a Journey of
few hours.
In the meantime Mrs. Longwortb and her husband
have gone to Paris, where it Is hoped people have clearer
and more definite ideas about a democratic republic.
The Lady Hooligans.
The ' suffragettes of England—otherwise known U
the lady hooligans, and by the Irreverent as "foollgans 1
—are not only coming to grief In Individual Instances,
but they are undoubtedly bringing shame and reproach
upon tbe cause of woman's suffrage.
Tbe sceuo when a body of these women, whose
thews and sinews are strong, assembled around the
house of Mr. Asquith and made both night and day
hideous Is still remembered very feelingly. It was but
one of msny Instances of outrage. Sitting In tho’ visit
ors' gallery of the house of commons they have more
than once made demonstrations which were distinctly
unseemly, and they have succeeded In awakening the
resentment of the people at large, regardless ot the
principles for which they contend.
They have broken up n great many meetings, but
on Sunday at Manchester they were treated to a dose
of their own medicine. One of the most aggressive €f
the sufTragottos was to make a speech, and was backed
up by a member ot parliament who bad won an unsavory
notoriety by championing tho cause of tbo Zulus as
struggle in behalf of the children of Georgia has been
one of tbe most persistent In the history of legislation.
All the forces that could be brought to bear against the
enactment of such a measure have been arrayed against
It year by year and at times It seemed that protection
for tbe children of tender years would be Impossible.
But the determined men who have bad charge of these
various measured have never lost heart and hope, and
now, in tbe adoption of the Boll child labor bill, that
hopo has been vindicated.
Under the provisions of this measure no child under
ten years ot age can work In a mill or manuafcturlng
plant under any circumstances. No child under twolvo
years of age can work there except to contribute to tho
support of a widowed mother or disabled father, the or
dinary ot the county certifying to the tacts In the case
each year. It provides that no child under 14 yean of
age can be employed or allowed to labor In a factory or
manufacturing establishment at night, or shall be per
mitted to work there at all unless bo or she can rend arid
write bis or her name nnd simple sentences. Tbo child
must attend school tjireo months each year^untll ho' or
she has passed public school ago, six weeks of which
time shall have been consecutive.
No child shall be employed by such manufacturing
concern wltbout an affidavit setting forth the facta In
tbe case signed by tbe parent, guardian or somo one
who stands In loco parentis.
Such parent, guardian or next friend who shall make
any false statement In this connection, or any peraon
hiring n child In violation of thesa provisions shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and the affldavita setting forth
the required facta ahall be open to Inspection by the
grand Jury. •
Some of the amendmeutf offered on yesterday were
regarded as being acceptable In themielvei, but It waa
the deBlre ot the friends of the bill to do nothing which
would Imperil Us passage by the aenate, which waa al
ready committed to such a measure aa was then under
consideration. It was the part of wisdom to adopt It aa
it'stood and secure the passage of a certain measure ot
relief for the poor children of Georgia.
The present bill. It will be seen, goes a long way
toward affording the desired relief. A foundation has
been laid on which'subsequent reforms may be bated.
Georgia has already been shamefully slow In passing
somo measure for the relief of the children of the state.
Millions of money are poured Into Georgia every year
for the education of negro children. In addition to the
sum raised by taxation and distributed. Impartially
among white and black. The consequence la that thou
sands ot negroes are receiving tbe benefits not only ot
common school, but of higher educaUou, while the chil
dren ot white parents are forced to till tbe flcldi which
have been depopalated of negro labor or else drift Into
the cotton mUI cities to earn tha living which Impover
ished families cannot make on the farm. They are grow
ing up in Ignorance at tha same time that they aro stunt
ing their bodies by long hours ot work while yet in their
tender years.
There haa been but little question, except on the part
of those whose opinions are governed by self Interest,
that a stringent law should be enacted, but it baa not
been an easy matter, to overcome all the forces ot oppo
sition.
Yesterday's vote decided the matter, and from now
on It la hoped that the tendency will be ateadlly upward
and that In the end we will have a measure which throws
around tha growing child, In the formative period ot
mind and body, the strong arm ot adequate protection
and the Incentive* of a higher life.
Cockney Views of Longworth.
While the people ot this country are speculating as to
who will be the next president of the United States, the
people ot England—Including "the three tailors of Tooley
street”—have settled the matter to their own satisfac
tion, and take It as a foregone conclusion that It will be
Hon. Nicholas Longworth.
The London cockney cannot get It out ot bis head
that the presidency ot the United States is an hereditary
offles, Just like that of king. He looks upon Longworth
as a man who will come Into the office of chlet executive
of the United State* by reason of hla marriage to the
president's daughter, very much after the fashion that
tome noblaman would come into a 'dukedom from the
distaff aid*.
People who really ought to know a great deal better
Insist on calling him a senator. They cannot get Into
their heed* that tharo Is any such thing In this country
as a ''representative," although their own house of com
mons corresponds to It exactly. A number of tbe leading
rapers In the kingdom have been constantly referring
*o him aa a "senator."
To cap the climax, some ot the special correspond
ents Inform us that among the unlettered multitude—or
at least those whose insular Ignorance ot everything
For a while the crowd which assembled as lookers
on were content with good natured chaffing of the meet
Ing, but tbe pleasantry grew Into ridicule aud Anally
Into open hostility as tbe bitterness of the speakers In
creased, and Anally tbe auffragettes had to run for tbelr
lives. That Is to say, the surrounding crowd was about
to crush them to death by mere force of numbers.
The bellicose member of parliament had a hard time
In rescuing the lady hooligans. One of the latter, how
ever, lived up to her reputation and to that ot her as
sociates by knocking one man down with her bare Aat
andvnnotber with her deadly umbrella.
On the whole it waa a disgraceful sort of proceed
lug and served to bring atilt further Into disrepute the
cause for which the auffragettes were contending. The
conservatism and common sense of England hat arrived
at the conclusion that If the mer* advocacy of wo
man's suffrage Is to be marked by such unfemlnlne
scenes as theso the cause Itself had better be postponed
indeffnttely.
The Weekly Editors.
Today the members ot the Weekly Press Associa
tion ot the state ot Georgia are assembled at Hartwell
In their annual state convention. From Nlckajack to Ty-
bce Light, from the farthest corner of Dado to the
marshes of the OkeAnokee, these worthy members of the
Fourth Estate are gathered for their annual outing
which has become a part of their live*.
The Georgian trusts that the enjoyment they appa
rently experienced while they were assembling In this
city will be continued during the session, compounded
of pleasure and proAt, which I* now going forward In our
■later city.
It la Impossible to apeak In extravagant terms ot the
wisdom, the optimism and the general usefulness of the
members of this .organisation. It was Edmupd Burke
who, standing In the house of commons, said: "Around
mo alt tbe three estates of the realm: the lords spiritual,
the lords temporat and the commons; but In that gal
lery," pointing toward the corner set aside for the press,
there alts a fonrth estate, more powerful and more
Important than all these.”
Tbe verdict of the world has conArmed this estimate
of the InAuenco of the press. No wonder that Napoleon
should have said that he "feared tour newspaper* More
than the bayonets ot a battalion.” No wonder that
Thomas Jefferson should have said that It he bad to
choose between a government without newspapers-and
newspaper* without a government, he would not hesitate
to select the latter. In this day and tlma when the
collection and distribution ot the nowa ot the world haa
arrived at its existing high state ot perfection, the news
paper as an institution la more powerful than ever before
In It* history. The men who crystallise In editorial ut
terances the sentiment ot the people, are disposed to bo
more thoughtful and to realise the gravity of their call
ing more keenly perhaps than ever before.
But whatever measure ot InAuenco and vitality may
attach to the editorial function In ganeral terms. It be
longs In a peculiar degree to the -editor ot the country
weekly. He lives close to the people. He knows how
tbe great haart ot the masses pulses with life and aspi
ration. He Is akin to the sun and the soli which bring
forth fruits ot every character In abundance. As life
Is made up ot an InAnltude of small events which shape
tbe destiny ot man and the course ot nations, he knows
these minutiae by actual and continuous contact The
householder, the unit of clttsenshlp. Is bis friend and
neighbor, and all the events and episodes which occur
within that magic circle to contribute to the weal or
wo* ot the Individual, are known to him and exercise a
deep and determining InAuenco In shaping hla opinions
and Inspiring hla utterances. The-former and the latter
rains, the drought, the weevil, tbe rust—all the cycle of
phenomena which make or mar the yield of the harvest
Aeld, are tbe objects of hla dally concern; and In his
community he le a man ot relatively greater Importance
than the editor of the most ambitious of metropolitan
newspapers. Hla opinion* are more In accord with the
sentiments and convictions ot hts constituents because
he la In more Intimate touch with them, and, In raallty,
merely reflects a consensus which Is all about trim.
He la.chastened with trials. It la not given to him
Id many Instance* to acquire wealth by conducting a
weekly newspaper. The standing Jest that his subscrip
tions are psIdT In romanlte apples and yellow yams Is not
entirely a fanciful creature ot the brain.' But, through
It all hope shines like a guiding star and a sunny opti
mism auraoles everything about him. He haa wel
comed the little stranger and dropped a sympathetic
tear on passing age which haa llvad out the Psalmist's
■pan. He haa sounded In hla adaptable columns a mar
riage hymn more musical than Tanhauser or "the voice
that breathed o'er Eden.” He haa thrown the mantle of
charity over the weaknesses and errors ot mankind. And
all the** have contributed to the turn of human sympa-
-! comes to him at this happy noontide of the year when
he foregathers with his brothers and sisters of the Faber
guild and gives himself up to a season of unalloyed do-
llght. %
The Georgian extends its heartiest greetings to the
Weekly Press Association and trusts that theirs may
be a full measure of happiness and sweet content.
FORMER ATLANTAN MAKES MOST PERILOUS
TOUR EVER ATrEMPTED IN A
BALLOON
DEFAULTING ON SAN
FRANCISCO FIRE LOSSES
A New York merchant writes to The
Press, calling attention to the help-
leseness of San Francisco ao long os
Insurance payment* are withheld, and
pointing out the concern other cities
should feel In this matter, for, he says,
"we cannot tell when our time may
come, and one dark day we may be ap-
tenllng to other cities to help us en-
'orce Justice from the Insurance com-
tanlea to whom we have for years past
>een paying premiums sufficiently re
munerative for the acquisition ot huge
surpluses, presumably -set aside for
Just such emergencies as the present."
As “Merchant" says, the people of
San Francisco are tied hand and foot
from beginning the rebuilding of their
city and the re-establishment of their
production and trade until the Insur
ance funds which are due them are
>ald by the companies. "The coun-
ry," he says, "responded magnificent
ly to Son Francisco's cry for help, but
the work Will be complete ot'
effective pressure Is brought
on the insurance companies which are
trying to welch. When San Francisco
needed food .and raiment the country
oured them forth with open hands,
ow she needs money, and wants only
her own." • • •
The euggestloir which the New York
business man makes Is that the com
mercial Interests of the country should
show the companies that they cannot
w-elch without being boycotted every
where In the United States.
Now Is the time, therefore, for
ew York, Boston, Chicago and
other great communities .with the view
of compelling these defaulting compa-
e the assets which the
e country have built up
for them, and so give San Francisco a
chance to go ahead,” • • •
That no- Injustice should be done to
the conscientious companies, this work
of Investigation and reporting should
be performed by some responsible body
of the nature of a chamber of com
merce. The newspapers, of course,
will give wide currency to any official
report showing Injustice nnd virtual
fraud. And the result would undoubt
edly be to put out of business such
companies as had practiced the unfair
and cruel methods, while Increasing
the patronage of those which had given
n "square deal."—New York Press.

BERNHARDT’8 BIRTHPLACE.
Editor of The Georgian:
I noticed'an editorial In your paper
about Sarah Bernhardt being born In
Rochester, Iowa. I have eome Infor
mation which will possibly be of aome
Interest to you. I am a theatrical man,
at present touring Georgia with -the
Heyer Comedy Company. In tbe sum
mer of 1302 I was with a small com
pany that spent a week In the little
town of Rochester, Iowa. We boarded
with a family by the name of Flnefleld.
Mr. Flnefleld, the head of the house,
telle the following' story concerning
Sarah Bernhardt. Bernhardt's mother
and Mr.' Flnefleld'* mother were sis
ters. Sarah's mother died when Sarah
was an Infant, and consequently Sarah
came to live with the Flneflelds. When
■he was about 11 years old a little show
came to Rochester and Sarah ran away
with It. I don't think It wo* an "Uncle
Tom” show, ns at that time the i
were not so burdened with such
ancea. Sarah had always been a "queer
child," aa they described It, and had
always "play-acted" since she could
talk. They never heard from her until
about three years later, when her
cousin, Mr. Flnefleld, waa In San Fran
cisco, and recognised her on tha stage
at one ot the theaters. Ha went up
and spoke to her and she refused .to
recognise him, until he reminded her
of a little toy cradle that ha had made
for her, which she had always prised
very highly. Then she broke down and
wept, and begged him not to tell where
she was. She went to Paris and waa
never heard ot again until she became
famous.
One day two handsomely dreeaed la
dles drove up to the Flnefleld - home
and asked them to direct them to the
cemetery. He went with them over to
the graveyard, which was only a short
distance away. He waa astonished to
hear one of the ladles, who waa heav
ily veiled, ask him for the grave ot
his aunt. He asked the lady why she
wanted to see that particular grave,
and she told him It was the grave ot
her mother. She laid aome flowers on
the grave and took one of the small
atonea, which lay on the grave, and a
little twig from a rose- bush near by.
Both ladle* spoke in French and evi
dently could not speak or understand
English. Upon Inquiries being made,
he found »that Sarah Bernhardt was
playing in a near-by city. Of course
hey naturally surmised that the hand
somely gowned French lady was no
other than the little Sarah who used to
run barefoot on the sandbar* of the
Cedar river, rock her dolls In hand
made wooden cradles, and who had
run away with a-ahow, son# to France,
and forgot her native language. How-
ever, all her people are French, aa
Rochester la a French settlement. I
have a photo of the town In my pos
session. which 1 had taken aa a souve
nir of the birthplace of the Divine
Sarah. Your* very truly.

York, July 17.—Andrew Carnc-
gle still bmps on tbe coming unity of
the English speaking race and Its
dominating Influence In the affairs of
the world. In London the giver of 1|.
brarlen nnd apostle of peace declares:
"During the lifetime of many now

tbert of one race, are to dived

tain with,- nay 60.000.000. will turn to

pie.
the
questions, and then our race will fui.
AM Its destiny, which Is decisively to
Influence world affairs for the good of
the world.”
When it comes to traveling, th,
Pittsburg millionaire has little on s
great race horse. The luxury In which
Rocksand. the derby winner and thor.
oughbred of high degree, traveled
might be equalled, but could not be
excelled for money.
Kockxand was recently purchased
from the estate of Fir James Miller for
2125,000 by August Belmont. Th,
aristocratic atalllon almost had to be
dragged on to American soli.
For an hour the hostlers labored
with Rocksnnd to get him to walk
down the steamship gang plank, but
the delicate animal would not so much
as put his foot on the narrow way. Mr.
Belmont helped to urge his new pur.!
chase to leave the sleoinshlp, but with
out success until John O'Keefe, a
roundsman In the traffic squad, solved
tho problem. He watched the attempt
to get the racer off the vessel from the
dock. He led hla own horse up the
steep Incline and then led him down
again. Rocksand followed the horse to
the entrance of the plank, and then,
after a moment's Indecision, started
down. Once started, he waa led and
half dragged to the dock below.
Why should surprise be felt that
Kaiser Wilhelm has determined to boss
his little grandson, Wilhelm the I,lt-
tlestT If there Is anything In th«
German empire, big or little, he doesn’t
boss he would be grate' '
who will point It out.
The kaiser's subject* are more frank
with themselves in the matter of what
they eat than we are. A dispatch from
Hamburg says:
"Beef and mutton la so scarce that
the Increased demand for horse flesh
and dog flesh has forced up th* prices
of these.
"The former has risen 10 pfgs. a
pound and now sells for about 40 pfgs.
(10 cents) a pound and more. Dog
flesh brings about the same price, but
dog sausage, which Is more savory
than horse, Is <0 pfgs. (15 cents) a
pound.”
We do not quote horse and dog meat
in the market reports, but there Is a
general Impression that, like the skip
