THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE A man may well bring a horae to the water. But he cannot make him drink without he will. —Haywood. Reform the Slaughter Houses. The revelations made before the special committee of council on Tuesday afternoon aa to the Inefficiency of meat Inapectlon, the quantity of dlaeaaed meat offered for aale, and tha unsanitary methods of slaughter, have sent a shudder through the people of Atlanta, and crys tallised the'determlnatlon that something shall be done to Improve existing conditions. It was through the-columns of The Georgian that the attention of the general publlo was first called to the out rageous eondltlon of affairs existing hsre. It was Infor mation received In this office and published on July 4 which first opened the eyes of the people to the fact that they were buying meat which was totally and flagrantly unfit for consumption. It Is greatly to the credit of the authorities that they promptly took up the matter. Council appointed a apo dal committee, headed by Mr. W. L. Taylor, to InveaU- gate the altuation and make inch recommendation* as it aaw proper. The hearing* before thla special committee on Tues day more than confirmed The Georgian’* reports that dla eaaed catUe, slaughtered by unsanitary methods, were being sold to the peoplo of Atlanta. The whole affair, as It now stands exposed, amelia to heaven, and the moat drastic measures should be adopted at once to protect the people of Atlanta. There la no charge against the Inspectors except that they have more work to do under the present system than they can pos sibly attend to. It ft the system which Is fundamentally wrong, and it Is the system that should be entirely re formed. Now that the evidence, abuhdant and complete, hat been furnished by men who are best qualified to know and to apeak on the subject, the agitation must rot- suit In reforms that are thorough and searching. The consensus of opinion seems to be In favor of the establishment of a central abattoir, through which alt meat for consumption In the city must pass, after a dose and adequate Inspection. If It Is Impracticable to have but the one central ataughter house, then let the number be reduced to three or four, and the number of Inspectors so Increased that they can properly Inspect every ounce of meat sold to the people of this city. The demand for some such arrangement coma*, not merely from the consumers, but from the meat defi ers of every clsss who have the Interests of the trade and of the people at heart. When It Is officially announced that only three of the fourteen alaughter houses In and around Atlanta are In good sanitary condition, the crisis seems to have been reached, and no time should be lost In making an abso lute and thorough refonii. A Friendly Word to the Manufacturers The legislature of 1900 had before It a child labor bill which received but 35 votea In the house. A better btU received 75 votes In the house of 1902. The present bouse. In 1905, gave 103 votes to the Bell bill, a majori ty of 41. A tew days ago the house voted for an Im proved bill by a majority of 123, the vote standing 115 to 2. That accurately represents the progress of this re form In Georgia. The senate last summer defeated the bouse bill by a vote of 23 to 17. When the senate met this term, the following gentlemen signed and Introduced a bill whose terms bad been agreed upon In conference: Senators Hand, Candler, Miller, Bunn, Hogan, Strange, Bond, Ben nett, McHenry, Steed, Wheatley, Birmans, Carithers, Foy, Woodworth, Westbrook, Adams, Crum, Peyton, Foster, Fnrr. Lumsden, Grayblll, Copelan and Carswell—twenty- five In all, two more than the constitutional majority. It was ascertained that at least five other senators favored the passage of the bill. Of course It Is granted that this bill should have taken the orderly procedure of passing the senate and being offered to the house. Instead of that a transcrip tion made a slight difference between the house snd the senate committee, which simply carries out the Intent of the original senate bill. The Georgia Industrial Association at Us recent' meet ing agreed among themselves that they would offer no opposiUon to the passage of the Bell bill of last summer. We wish to point out that the pending measure and the Bell bill differ In only two particulars. The senate bill, being more carefully drawn. Is a more effecUve measure, and surely no one wants such a law to be another dead letter statute. The other difference la a provision giving- an opportunity for children of school age to attend school twelve weeks la the fifty-two, and to make this opportnnlty available, the bill forbid* a child of school age to work one year unless tbe child shall have attended school the preceding year. This Is not even compulsion, but an Inducement to send tbe child to school. And now It Is said that the manufacturers are op posing this humane measure, one In the Interests of edu cation. The senators have been bombarded with tele grams and a* hearing has been ordered for those opposing the bill. We desire to say that In vie*- of tbe claims, many of them well-founded, that these manufacturers are the patrons of education, the builders and supporters of schools, they cannot afford to put themselves In this attitude of opposing this reasonable educational provis ion for their own employees. We are unwilling to believe that tha senators who themselves Introduced this bill will go back on their own signed agreement. But The Georgian hates to see the manufacturers put themselves In this false position and this unfavorable light And we desire, .respectfully, to submit to them the following additional considerations. Do they recall that the present house voted 61 to 70 for an amendment forbidding any child under 16 to work more than eight hours a day? Have they recognised the fact that two-thirds of the members of the next legislature have been nominated on a strong child labor platform? Can they not see that In the present temper of the bouse and of the people of Georgia on this ques tion, If the present bill Is weakened by amendment In tbe senate, It may be defeated In the bouse on the ground that a more drastic bill will certainly pass tbe next legislature? And that If the pending measure Is de feated, the criticism of press snd people on Its defeat last year will be as tbe gentle summer' breexe to tbe storm of Indignation and of condemnation that will break upon the head of every one responsible In any way for Its de feat? The manufacturers of Georgia are wise men. We be lieve they can read tbe signs of the times. The Pan-American Congress, Early tomorrow Secretary Root will arrive at Rio de Janeiro, and the Pan-American congress, which has adjourned to that date, will take up the more Important measures which are to come before it. Tbls Is tbe third session of this congress, which wss set on foot by James O. Blaine, the first session having been held sixteen years ago In Washington when he was secretary of state, and the second session In the City of Mexico In 1901-2. At tbe latter session a great deal was done In tbe Interest of the Pan-American republics, Including a de cision that these sessions should be held thereafter every five years. Instead of ten, and It ft In pursuance of this determination that the present congress Is being held In Rio. Seventeen republics of North, Central and South America will be represented, and because of the trade relations between tbe South, at least through our South ern ports, It may be regarded as having a special Interest for the people of this section.. That It may be made a power for good in our com mercial relations,,which find a natural expansion with the countries to the south of us, goes without saying, but It Is agreed that the most Important question to be dis cussed by the present session of the congress Is the Drago doctrine, which Is sometimes called a corollary of the Monroe doctrine. This principle was enunciated by Dr. Louis M. Drago, learned publicist of Argentina, and takes the position that foreign countries have no right to secure the set tlement of debt by force. It will be remembered that considerable excitement prevailed In 1892 when the fleets of three foreign pow ers—Orest Britain. Germany and Italy—arrived la Ven- esuelan waters with fhe avowed purpose of forcing Ven ezuela to require certain citizens to pay obligations ow ing to the subjects of the three powers of Europe. Argentina was the first South Amorlcan country to raise a note of protest, which was embodied In the doc trine enunciated by Dr. Drago, then minister of foreign affairs for Argentina. The sentiment became so strong that the three foreign powers were glad, to avail them selves of the good offices of the United States and with draw their fleets on the understanding that the matter be left to The Hague tribunal, fearing a consolidation of the western hemisphere on the Idea that such debts coutl not be collected by force. It will be remembered that the awnrd of The Hague tribunal was against Venesuela, which Immediately raised the cry that tbe tribunal was packed by European credi tor nations. There have been suggestions that The Hague tribunal be asked to decide whether force should be used In the collection of debts, aa an International proposition, and It so Jo what extent In view of tbe decision of the tribunal In the Venesuela case, the suggestion of submit ting the question to The Hngue Is opposed by some of the South American republics, and this is one of the most Important questions to be decided. President Roosevelt .has gone very far toward establishing the precedent that such force can be used. It Is pointed out that this government forced the settle ment of the Salvador Improvement Company’s claim against Salvador and js again pursuing the same course toward Venesuela In the matter of the asphalt claims. The occasion acquires a unique Importance by reason of the presence and participation of the secretary of state of this country, a higher dignitary than has ever before represented the United States on a similar occasion. While this la one of the roost Important features of the program, It Is by no means all, and the special In teresfo of the South may be regarded an safe In the hands of Hon. Van I-cor Polk, of Tennessee, and Hon. A. J. Montague,'of Virginia. The Charleston’s Dimensions. The trip of Secretary Root on the cruiser Charleston round South America has created an lnteroat In the pub lic mind to know all about her. Will you please publish In The Georgian her dimensions, and the slxe of her bat tery. I hear It Is light—not heavier, than six-inch guns. Remember, this Is the second cruiser of the name; the first was tereeked on the coast 6t the Island of Luton Novemnsr 7, 1899, wlthont loss of life. Yours truly, Rome. Ga. M. F. GOVAN. The armored cruiser Charleston, built In 1901-3, has a displacement of 9,700 tons, carries 14 6-Inch guns, has two torpedo tubes, 21,000 horse-power and develops a speed of 211-2 knots. She Is of the same clsss aa the St. Louts and Milwaukee. England’s Support of the Douma. One can well Imagine the peculiar delight with which Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the premier of Great Britain, glorified the Russian douma, members of which were at the moment silting In the Interparlia mentary conference being held at Westminster, and In the warmth of his seal ahouted, "The douma is dead; long live the douma!” There was an answering shout from the members present. Indicating clearly the attitude of the friends of representative government, and not tbe least from the English members themselves. Before the shouts had died away the members of the douma sorrowfully an nounced that Inasmuch as the Russian parliament bad been dissolved, they would be compelled to withdraw from the conference and return to their homes, nor could they be dissuaded from their purpose. How England must view tbe present crisis In Russia can only be understood In tho light of the long history of Russian snd English hatred. Like the negro question In the South, the "Russian question” has always been a name to conjure with on the part of British statesmen. Liberal or conservative, no matter which party may have been In power, the mention of danger from Rus sia was sufficient to unite the government on anything which might otherwise Imperil the unity and solidarity of the ministry. Mr. Gladstone was accustomed to In voke It, and when Disraeli attempted to flout It he was swept from power. ,It looms always In tbe background like "the pestilence that walketh In darkness and the destruction that wasteth at noonday.” Englishmen know that the one overmastering am bition of the Russian empire ft to secure a southern outlet and that the Invasion of India Is liable to occur at any time. Then, too, they remember the blood that hat been spilled for which Russia was responsible. In atl the military annals of Great Britain for a hundred yean she has never come out of any conflict with leal glory than she did In the Crimean war, and the consciousness of the fact still rankle* In her heart Tbe ties of blood which bind the English sovereign to the exar, the Jove of peace which Is thq Inspiration of tbe present Interparliamentary conference are all very well in tbelr way. But the people of England do not copceal tbe fact that they find comfort and hope In tho Impending change of the form of Russia’s government It Is not to be wondered at therefore, that they ap plauded the vigorous words of the liberal leader In the conference yesterday, when he shouted ‘‘The douma Is dead; long live the douma.” t CHANGE THE TIME FOR ELECTIONS. To the Editor of The Georgian: Several years ago the time of meeting of the legisla ture was changed from fall to summer, but tbe elections continue to be held In October. It may be remarked that theri are only five states that do not begin their leg islative sessions In January. Granting that tbe summer suits us best, there are, however, objections against our present system of primaries and elections. In the first place nearly all the county primaries are held after a legislator has served only one of the two legislative sessions for which he was elected. His record Is passed on before It Is only half made up. Again, our present method works badly In tbe elec tion of senators. Senator Bacon’s term will expire March, 1907. The law of the United States directs that his successor shall be elected by the legislature “which Is chosen next preceding tbe expiration of the time for which he was elected.” This legislature will be elected In October. It will not moot till June. Senator Bacon’s time Is out remember, In March. The law does not seem to contemplate special sessions of the legislature for the election of senators, but It this were allowable It would cost several thousand dollars. If no special session Is called the governor would appoint n senator that would hold the place till the legislature should meet In regular session and elect a successor. And this would occur V- < M-ry sit Another objection to our present system relates to the matter of gubernatorial succession. If Governor Tef- rell should die, resign or become disabled during tbe eight months between tbe election In October and tbe meeting of the legislature In June there would not be any legal successor ready to take his place. The con stitution says that the speaker of the senate shall suc ceed the governor bnt the senate would not have met and of course It would not have any speaker. These objections would be avoided If we should have our elections, as we used to do, two weeks before tbe meeting of the legislature. Under tbe old regime there were none of tbe above objections to arise. Legislators were not selected till after tbelr two terms of sessfon. The time of expiration of one senatorial term found a successor duly and regularly elected, and the president of the senate wss elected at practically the same time when the governor was Inaugurated. There are difficul ties and complications In tbe way of making such a change, but I will not disease them now. According to the constitution tbe time for the election of members of the legislature as well as the time of meeting can be changed “by law,” so It seema that a constitutional amendment would not be necessary. Oxford, Ga. . EDGAR H. JOHNSON. GOSSIPjj CHIPS OFF THE OLD BLOCK. To the Editor of The Georgian; “Father,” said the Trusts to their venerable sire, the Tariff, “father we have been Indicted for ‘conspiracy In restraint of trade.”’ “Oh! boys, how conld you be so naughty!” exclaimed Papa Tariff In pained surprise. “Nonsense, my dear Tarry,” Interposed Mrs. Tariff Cnee Selfishness), "I really am surprised at you, blaming the dear children for taking after their own father. Why, you dear, expensive old humbug, what on earth would you have amounted to If you hadn’t been a restraint of trade yourself?" FREE TRADER. SPLINTERS. (Translated and Repeated by A. L. A.)

SUN, AIR AND EARTH, GOD’S GIFT TO ALL By ELLA,WHEELER WILCOX. Copyright, 1906, by Amerlcan-Journal- Examlner. How surely and beautifully tbls world moves toward hlghsr knowledge of truth and kindness! Never was there such promise of the hoped for millennium as now. Yes, now, while the air Is full of re ports of evil, of robbery and .bribery and crime ot all kinds, does tne dawn of tha greatest spiritual era of our earth seem near. , Only a hundred years ago our poor Insane Invalids were Incarcerated In dungeons and subjected to most cruet treutment. Science and humnnltarlanlsm have progressed to a wonderful degree In the last hundred years, and now comes a mos: humare proposition from Mr. George 8anders, of No. 1866 Pacific street, Brooklyn, as follows: After consulting with friends, doctors, nurserymen and others, I have been moved to submit to the etate board of commissioners on lunacy a plan for developing ten acres or so of land belonging to each state hospital Into a fruit garden. This gardsnt would supply the hospital with a large quantity and variety of fruits and also prove of great value to the many patients who could be employed In the gar den, thus giving them outdoor ex ercise which would prove so Inter esting that It would be the means of restoring many a mind to Its normal condition. A 8TEP AHEAD. The Idea Is admirable. I hope It will meet with encouragement and assist- the land—the criminally Insane. For all crime Is some phase of In sanity. No man who has committed a crime will be reformed and made Into a sane, moral and law-abiding citizen If he Is shut In for years between cold walls, away from all contact with nature, and given the association of other unfortu nates for companionship. SUN, AIR AND EARTH. anct from every state In the union. From dark dungeons and chains, neg lect and abuse, out to heaven’s sun light, with nature and medical science to assist In their restoration of the mind; surely this shows progress In our Idea ot duty toward the Insane since the days ot our great, grandfath ers. Now let the same methods be applied when possible to the other Invalids of Sun, air, earth—they are three great ministers for sick and diseased souls and bodies. They will do more toward reform atlon and restoration than the cell, sol Itary confinement and the lash. More than pills and powders and opiates. More than preachers and sermons. Heaven speed the day when all the little children cooped up In city tene ments, when weary mothers and worn- out workmen will have tho benefit of God’s beautiful earth and the sunshine and the fresh air a portion of every trolley lines are making transportation possible at small cost, and the time Is coming when our congested cities will, and must, empty out their fetid alleys and give the unconscious prisoners of toll better conditions. When this Is done, then will Insanity and crime be lessened and the need of asylums and prisons reduced to a mini mum. Th« sun, the air, the earth! They are God’s gifts to all men. No system of government Is right or just which takes these things from any class and compels It to exist without them. MAINLY ABOUT PEOPLE.

To the Editor of The Oeorgian: The state legislature has had more criticism than co-operallon' In the en actment of good and wholesome laws. It has needed the co-operation and per haps deserves much ot the criticism that It has received. By Its enact ments at previous sessions counties that enjoyed prohibition had thrust upon them, without their consent, one or more dispensaries for the sale of spir ituous liquors. In the case of Randolph county; which was prohlbltloned, a bill was passed submitting the nuestlon. of dispensary or no dispensary to the people, and aft er a vigorous campaign the prohibi tionists of the county, notwithstanding the large negro vote, defeated the other side. The good people thought, then- you any bad habits, suh?—Life. fore, that the question was practically finally settled. It now turns out that the representative from Randolph In troduces a bill providing for the estab lishment of a dispensary In the city of Cuthbert, the county site. This measure was referred to the Judiciary committee and received recommenda tion for Its passage by a majority vote. It Is positively known that certain members of the Judiciary committee from the dry counties were opposed to the recommendation, and It Is under stood that they will file the minority report. This measure was recommend ed by representatives from the wet counties, one of Fulton's representa tives voting In favor of It. These are facts which can be proven beyond the question of a doubt. It strlkss me, therefore, that It Is utterly unfair for the Georgia legisla ture to have the power to thrust a dis pensary, for the sale of Intoxicant llq- “uors, on a county or in a town where the people, by the exercise of their frnnchlsement, have said they do not want It. It Is bad enough to have the question reopened, and bring about the campaign for and against prohibition In a given county, but It Is nothing short of a burning shame, after the people have aald by their votes that they do not want tha dispensary for the leg islature to thrust it upon them whether or no, and It Is all the more so since the recommendation for the passage of the bill came from the Judiciary', a majority of whose members are from wet counties Ip the state, such as Ful ton, Chatham and others. It Is high time that the citizens In this free republic were entering a pro test. A. C. WARD. Secretary Georgia Anti-Saloon League. ITEM8 OF INTERE8T. Eugene A.
