THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE Tin wisdom to beware And better shun the bait than atruggle In the snare. —DRYDEN. Give Us the Juvenile Courts. The adoption by the lower house of the general as sembly of the Child Labor bill lends additional Interest and Importance to the pending measure establishing Ju- venllo courts and probation officers throughout tho state. This bill, which was drawn up by Mr. James L. An derson of this city, has been prepared after carefully studying probation work throughout the country, and embodies all the best features that experts ,could sug gest. Under the provision of this bill, children under 16 years of age are not In any way or under any circum stances to be herded with adult criminals, and every safeguard Is to be thrown around them to protect them from contaminating Influences of every kind. Where dependent or delinquent children are found, steps will be taken to. bring them before the court of ordinary, which, by the provisions of this bill, becomes a Juvenile court, and they are to be placed In charge of probation offleers, duly appointed for tho respective coun ties. These Juvenile courts will have large discretionary powers and will act upon the ancient maxim of law that the state stands In the place of the parent where such parents are either dead or not qualified to exercise prop er parental care. One notable feature of thla measure Is a provision that parents, guardians or any others who by neglect or encouragement are responsible for the delinquencies of children, shall be severely punished. Boys and girls of tender years are to be rescued by the orderly process of the law from vicious environments and placed In suit able Institutions of protection and education, and those who should have been responsible for their proper educa tion are to be punished as for a misdemeanor. Thla la no new and untried experiment The Juve nile court Idea la spreading rapidly over the entire coun try and now exists in forty cities scattered throughout twenty-two states. It Is maintained In Canada, In Eng land and In Australia, pud wherever the Idea hat been carried out, It has been found to work satisfactorily. It la shown that tbs Juvenllo court methods are nniier, more scientific, more humane and more Christian than the Inexorable and undlscrimlnatlng system of the law as It now exists. Such great cities at New York, Chicago, Baltimore and Denver have operatod these courts for such length of time that they have passed far beyond tho experimental stage. Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of Denver, who Is one of tho loading spirits In the geperal movement, declares that the Juvenile court methods have already saved the state of Colorado 3600,000. He testifies that this plan rescues from a career of crime 95 per cent of the children with whom It deals. It Is only Just that a share of the responsibility for Juvenile delinquents should be thrown upon the negli gent parent or guardian, and It Is this feature of the present bill which particularly commends It Tho principle of suspended sentence, that Is, a sen tence of court not carried out except under a second de linquency, Is a strong Incentlvo to children without par ent or gpardlan to behave better In the future. It !■ an anomaly, and Indeed a miserable shame, that children of tender years should be contaminated with the presence of hardened criminals, where. Instead of amending their lives, they really become apt pupils In the more expert knowledge of crime. Under the provisions of this bill there will be no such contact or contamination, from the first peccadillo of the wayward child until he la final ly reformed or else, showing sign* of hopeless depravity, la turned over to the sterner hands of the law, but he will be segregated from the professional criminal whose Influence necessarily would be to confirm whatever ten dencies Toward wrong doing might be latent in his na ture. This measure carries forward the work of reform In behalf of the children of Georgia which the Child La bor bill has begun, and we feel sure that It will commend. Itself to the approval of the good people of the state. Local Meat Investigation. The action of council In appointing a special com mittee to look Into the matter of meat Inspection In the city, and to Investlgate'the slaughter houses which fur nish this commodity for consumption to the people of Atlanta, will meet with the general Indorsement of the people. Thla la a matter of vital Importance to the cltltens of Atlanta. That there have been at leaat a few In stance* of flagrant violations of sanitary law* has been made evident by data furnished by The Georgian, and It may well be assumed that It this has been true In a few special Instances there have been other cases which have not come to light. The whole country hat been aroused by the recent packing house disclosures,and even after all the fuss and feathers Is over It still remains ctrialn that there was a"condition-which called for the most prompt and drastic reforms. The agitation set on foot by the Chicago disclosures extended to the smaller plants scat tered throughout the country and It waa discovered that to far from Chicago being the sole offender there were other lostancea differing only In degree from them./ All this has set the Intelligent portion of the country to thinking. There Is no occasion to become hysterical over the matter, hut revelations right here In and around Atlanta go to show that this Investigation Is timely and necessary. If it should develop that diseased cattle are butchered and sold to the people of this city, prompt and efficient steps should be taken to end It bo- fore tho conditions become any worse. Wo cannot claim to be experts on the subject, of course, but If It should develop that It Is necessary to organise a central abattoir In the city, where the work of preparing meat for market can be kept under direct supervision by the city authorities and all cattle can be Inspected before they are killed, by all meant let this be done. The members of council can depend upon It that the people In general will stand squarely,behind them in any steps they may take to Insure pure and whole some meats and all other commodities, and the present official Investigation comes in response to a definite and emphatic public sentiment It matters not who may be affected by the Inves tigation. The life and health of the community Is of paramount Importance. The present Investigation should therefore be of the most far-reaching and search ing character. It la one of the most vital questions of tho hour.

The announcement that Mr. Brooks Morgan hat re signed hla position as assistant general passenger agent, with office* In Atlanta, and that hla resignation will pos sibly entail the transfer of Mr. J. C. Besm to St. Louis, will csiry general regret to the people of Atlanta and to this section of the state. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Beam have been located In Atlanta for so many years that they were looked upon as fixtures In the local railroad world and It wilt be difficult to realise that their familiar facet are to disappear from the old haunts. It la definitely announced that Mr. Morgan will re sign, but will remain In Atlanta as a member of . one of the largest manufacturing concerns In the state. While his friends In railroad circles will greatly miss him. It is a source of much satisfaction that he la to remain here, and he will receive e hearty welcome In the new line of work he baa undertaken. That be will make a success of hla venture goes without saying, for the same qualities of mind snd heart which have carried him for ward In the railroad world will stand him In excellent stead In whatever he may undertake. It would be a matter of the deepest regret If Atlanta should lose Mr. Beam. He it one of the most efficient and popular members of the Clader colony and numbers his devoted friends by the hundreds. While hla trans fer would be In the nature of a deserved promotion, the general regret would be none the less keen, and the community would look forward to hla return with undl- mlnlsbed pleasure. “You meet In the midst of continued and In creasing prosperity,” said Governor Terrell In hla message to the legislature of Georgia. “Material blessings have abounded during the past year. Im mense crops and good prices have rewarded the tiller of the soli. Opportunities for labor and good wages have rejoiced the heart of tho workingmen. Fewer mortgages have been given nnd more money has been deposited by the farmer In tha banka than this generation has ever before known, and on every hand appear evidence* that the, people are happy and contented." Strange that the governor of the Empire State of the South should have failed to learn from Demo cratic Journals In the North that the country Is go ing straight to the dogs, that prosperity Is only in seeming and not In reality and that the only way of escape la by sending our money abroad to buy things on a cheaper basil than American workmen produce them. True, that means the stoppage of work and wages for hundreds of thousands, but a little thing like that never touches tho argument of the free trader. According to Domocratlc notlona there was nev er so huge a case of self-deception ns tho United States presonts today. Tho entire country reports such n tide of prosperity as the world has not known from the day of the first Adam In Eden to the last Adam In Buffalo. Buying and selling and getting gain go on Into figures of value counting up Into scores of billions and the banks are bursting with the accumulations of Industry. But It la all a hollow mockery to those who harp day by day on the rise In prices as an absorbent of all gains, and who Insist thht the only real Increase la In paper credit! liable any day to go the good old Democratic way of de struction. Call on some of your Democratic friends In news paper offices In the North, Governor Terrell, and let thorn hereafter write your messages to save you from the absurd mistake of supposing that we are a happy nnd contented people enjoying a prosperity that makes a new high record in world history.— Buffalo News. No Democratic newspaper, either North or South, believes that the country la “going to the dogs.” On the contrary, we are willing to concede that we are enjoying a period of unprecedented prosperity. But the difficulty Is that the trusts and combines, cheated and nurtured by Republican protection, are get ting the lion’s share of this prosperity. When commod ities are shipped abroad and sold at a smaller price than they are .sold In the open markets of thla country, and "Infant" Industries, which have arrived at a lustlhood so great that they lay hold upon the very machinery of the government, are still coddled and pap-fed by a parental government, It la high time for the Democrat* to rise In protest, both North and 8outh. Sir Alfred Harmaworth recently made the droll re mark that England was "too stupid” to organise trusts ^nd combines. She Is content to run along with a sys tem of free trade which makes such combines practically Impossible. She even Repudiate* any such entering wedge as Mr. Chamberlain’s preferential tariff for the benefit of the British colonies. Poor “stupid” old England! TherA were giants In the days when the present eco nomic policy of Oreat Britain was framed, and the Eng lishman of today knows It full well. He la content to let well enough alone. But aside from all this, the Democratic newspapers, North and South, have been protesting, not that the country waa going to the bow-wows, but that fraud mid corruption stalked In high places under the protection of the vast combinations of capital which a high tariff has made possible. It was against this fraud and cor ruptlon that the Democrats have been protesting, and It It will do The Buffalo News any good to know It, the Democrats will continue to protest and to agitate until the work of reform baa gone all along the line. We' are grateful for the tardy legislation which has been enacted by the first session of the Fifty-ninth con gress. We are grateful for the prosecutions which have driven the trusti to cover. This latter could have been done under taws which have existed ever since the Sherman antl-truat act. If the Republican party had seriously desired to do ao. If was only ten aroused public sentiment, brought about by Democratic teachings and Democratic agitations, In platforms and on the stump, which haf brought us thus far out of the wilderness, and notwithstanding the fact that the G. O. P. “caught the Democrats In swimming and ran away with their clothes,” the sentiment of the coun try Is In favor of restoring to power the real party of reform, that present measures may be carried out and others quite as necessary may be adopted. CAPTAIN GRAYSON V. HEIDT. MI8S GRACE HOWE M’KINLEY. By J. Widamsn Lea. GOSSIP By Prlrate Leased Wire. DesMnlnes, Iowa. July II.—The mar riage iff Miss Grace Howe McKinley, niece of tho Int-J President William Mc Kinley, to Cnptnln Grayson VINard Heldt, of the Eleventh cavalry, will be solemnised at Fort DesMolnes this evening. The marriage will be the culmination of a romance which tells the story of a young girl's renunciation of a social career as practical mistress of the white house, In order that she might become a school teacher. While a student at Mount Holyoke College, Miss McKinley visited the white house. Her uncle, President McKinley, urged her to remain and share the social responsi bilities of the family. Mias McKinley remained one year. after which her ambition to prepare for a teacher’s life took her back to school, where she graduated. During her year at Washington Miss McKin ley met Captain Heldt. When Miss McKinley's brother, Captain James Me. Klnley, was ordered to the Philippines, she Insisted upon going and there en- the Island teachers. ter the ranks of Meanwhile Captain Heldt had also been transferred to the Philippines. Beneath the tropical trees of the Philippine Islands the young people met again and the troth waa plighted to be solemnised later an back In their native land. Captain Heldt Is a graduate of West Point, class of 1890. The wedding tonight will be a bril liant affair. The ceremony will be per formed by the Ber. Dr. John Heldt, the groom’s father, of Atlanta, Ga. SOUTH’S GROWTH AND PROGRESS CONDITIONS IN SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS Ftom The Boston Herald.

Thod A. Hammond delivered the annual address as president ot the 13ar Association. Hla subject was There a Growing Disposition or Ten dency to Disregard or Krade the Law?" In taking up the thread of hi* die course, Mr. Hammond dealt with tbs moral law and the written law. He gave considerable attention to the monopolistic tendencies of the times snd the necessities lit many coses of violation of the law to further the In tercst of the trusts; he dealt with the extenalun of “graft," the recont coin ing of which word, ho said, was sig nificant; he referred to the secret con tributing of money hy corporations into the coffer, ot political campaign com mlttees; he colled attention to the ex latence in many states of gambling houses, pool rooms and other unlawful trades, allowed because of the'pay ment of protection money; he brought out strongly the use of force by Indi viduals or combinations from labor or ganizations to compel other workmen to strike, and threats of boycott made by such organizations; he also took up the matter of lynch law, finding no ex cuse for It, and declaring there was no such thing ss delay- of the law. In this part of his address he spoke at length on the relation of the press to lynching!, deploring tho complsteant alleged attltudo of many newspapers in not vigorously opposing, editorially anc in news columns, violation of the law by mobs. One of the reasons for this, he attributed to be due to sensational ism. In conclusion, Mr. Hammond tootaVip a theme that bears pertinently on the present political campaign in the state. He spoke concerning the attitude of many In this state toward the four teenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal constitution. He said; As to tha Constitution. "Recently I read In one of the daily newspapers what purported to be an Interview with s member of congress from Georgia. Because something in the article seems to furnish a forceful Illustration of the subject under con sideration, I cannot refrain from re ferring to It "He le quoted as saying: ‘Is It not known that Alexander H. Stephens, in many respects the South’* bravest snd wisest statesman, did not hesitate to tell the Joint committee on reconstruc tion that In his Judgment these Iniqui tous amendments, the fourteenth and fifteenth, were not binding on the hon or and conscience of the states of the South, because they had been literally pinned to the constitution by Federal bayonets? Is It not known that Rob ert Toombs, the master mind of that convention (speaking of the Georgia constitutional convention of 1877), cursed these amendments consistently snd persistently up to his dying day, snd almost with hi, dying breath 7* "It Is unnecessary to take Issue with any one who say* that the great Toomba took ao violent a position against the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the constitution of the United State*. Whether he or Mr. Stephens said or felt, as has been charged, I do not know. That ques tion I am not considering. I do know that Mr. Toombs was the chairman of the committee on final revision of the Georgia constitutional convention of 1877, and that he reported, and finally voted, for the adoption of that consti tution, and that that constitution In article 11, section 1, paragraph 1, de clares: ‘"The laws of general operation in this state are, first, as the supreme law,, the constitution of the United States, the laws of the United 8tates In pursuance thereof, snd ail the trest les made under authority of the United States.’ Stephens’ Viewpoint. “That constitution, then ahd now, in cluded the fourteenth snd fifteenth amendments. With him, it mattered not how much he may have questioned the wisdom and Justice of these amend ment*, he declared them -pert and par cel of the supreme law of the land; and, If It be true that to his dying day he curaed these two amendments, I dare assert, end not without Investiga tion. that never In hla life did he, It speech or print, call upon or encourage the people of hit state to disregard any part of that constitution, aa he understood it, nor admit that any con dition or excuse was sufficient Justifi cation for the people of hit state to disregard, evade, or dodge it. Least ond last of all, would he h%ve thought that s member of congress would ever utter words of such encouragement Fa the people of his state, snd Justify hImseK by alluding to his name. It may be that Mr. Stephens, before the reconstruction committee, used the language quoted. If he did, having read every word ot his published evi dence before that committee, I have been nnsbi* to find it. Had I desired to piece s jewel In the crown ot that great snd wonderful man. It seems to me a brighter snd more precious gem could have been selected, and rather than recall to the minds of the people of hie state and country his alleged words of disparagement of the supreme law of the land, I would have revived Ift their memories these patriotic word, of hi,: ‘If all of our people are blasted; ir the republic Is to go down, let us be found to the lost moment standing on the deck with the constitution of the United State* waving over our heads.' Laws Should Pravaik "There are, no doubt, many laws un satisfactory to many of us; there are no doubt reetrlcttone In the constitu tion of this state, and of the United States, that many of us would like to change, but eo long as those laws stand, they sre -the Iswa of this state, snd they ere the law of the land. They should be respected, upheld end en forced, and never should anything be said, especially by men of Influence, power and brains, and occupying places of high honor and trust, tending to lead the ordinary people of this state or na tion to disregard or dodge such laws, if laws ore wrong, in the proper way repeal them. Whether right or wrong, while they remain in force, respect and administer them.” MANY ATLANTANS AT WARM SPRINGS By J. WIDEMAN LEE. Special to The Oeorstsn.
