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.
—Heywood.
Reform the Slaughter Houses.
The revelation! made before the spsdat committee
of council on Tuesday afternoon a* to the inefficiency of
meat Inspection, the quantity of diseased meat ofTered
tor sale, and the unaanltary metboda of (laughter, have
sent a shudder through tho people of Atlanta, and crys
tallized the determination that something ahall be done
to Improve existing condition*.
It was through the columns of The Georgian that the
attenUon of tha general public was Drat called to the out
rageous condition of affaire existing here. It wae Infor
mation received In this office end publlahed on July 4
which first opened the eye* of the people to the fact that
they were buying meat which wae totally and flagrantly
unfit for consumption.
It Is greatly to the credit of the authorlUea that they
promptly took up the matter. Council nppolnted a spe
cial committee, headed by Mr. W. L. Taylor, to investi-
gata the situation and ma)te such recommendation* as
It aaw proper.
The hearings before this special committee on Tues
day more than confirmed The Georgian's reports that dis
eased cattle, slaughtered by unsanitary method*, were
being sold to the peoplo of Atlanta.
The whole affair, as It now stands exposed, smells to
heaven, and the moat draaUe measures should be adopted
at once to protect the people of Atlanta. There Is no
charge against the Inspectors exoept that they have more
work to do under the present system than they can pos
sibly attend to. It Is the system which la fundamentally
wrong, and It Is tha system that should be entirely re
formed. Now that the evidence, abundant and complete,
has been furnished by men who are best qualified to
know and to speak on the subject, the agitation must re
sult In reforms that are thorough and searching.
The consensu* of opinion aeem* to be In favor of
the establishment of a central abattoir, through which
all meat for consumption In the dty must pais, after
a close and adoquate Inspection. If It Is Impracticable
to have but the one central slaughter 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 ot this city.
The demand for some auch arrangement comas, not
merely from the consumers, but from the meat deal
era ot every claas who have the Interests ot the trade
and of the people at heart
When It la officially announced that only three of
the fourteen slaughter houses tn and around Atlanta are
In good sanitary oondltlon, the crisis seems to have been
reached, and no time should be lost In making an abso
lute and thorough reform.
| themselves Introduced thl* bill will go back on their own
signed agreement. But The Georgian bate* 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 consideration*.
Do they recall that the present house voted 61 to 70 for
an amendment forbidding any child under Id to work
mors than eight hours a day? Have they recognized
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
A Friendly Word to the Manufacturers.
The legislature of 1900 had before It a child labor
hill which received but 86 votes In the honse. A better
bill received 76 rote* In the house of 1908. The present
house, In 1906, gave 103 votes to the Bell bill, a majori
ty of 41. A few days ago the house voted for an Im
proved bill by a majority ot 121, the vote standing 116 to
;. That accurately represents the progress of thla re
form tn Georgia.
The senate last summsr defeated the house bill by
a rote ot 13 to 17. When the senate met this term, the
following gentlemen signed and Introduced a bill whose
terms had been agreed upon In conference: Senators
Hand, Candler, Miller, Bunn, Hogan, 8trange, Bond, Ben
nett. McHenry. Steed, Wheatley, Birmaus, Csrltbers, Foy,
Blood worth, Westbrook, Adams, Crum, Peyton, Foster,
Furr. Lumsdeo, GrayblU, Copelan and Carswell—twenty-
fire tn att, 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 ot pasting the senate and
being offered to the house. Instead of that a transcrip
tion made a slight difference between the bouso and ths
senate committee, which simply carries out the Intent of
the original senate bill.
The Georgia Industrial AssoclaUon at Its recent meet
ing agreed among themselves that they would offer
no opposition to the passage ot the Bell bill ot 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
effective measure, and aurely no one wantg such a law to
be another dead letter statuter The other difference Is
a provision giving an opportunity for children of school
age to attend school twelve weeks In the fifty-two, and
to make this opportunity available, the bill forbids a child
of school age to work one year unless the child shall
b*ve attended school the preceding year. This Is not
even compulsion, but an Inducement to send the child
to school.
And now it Is said that the manufacturers are op
posing this humane measure, one Id the Interests ot 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 view of the claims,
many of them well-founded, that these manufacturer*
are th* patrons of education, the builders and supporters
ot schools, they cannot afford to put themselves In this
attitude of opposing this reasonable educational provis
ion for their own employees. '
W* are unarming to believe that th* senators who
next legislature? And that If the pending measure Is de
feated, the criticism of press and people on Its defeat last
year will be as the gentle summer breeze to the 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 Osorgta are wlss men. We be
lieve they can rsad th* signs of the times.
The Pan-American Congress.
Early tomorrow Secretary Root will arrive at Rto
do 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.
This Is the third session of this congress, which was
set on foot by James O. Blaine, the first session having
been held sixteen year* ago in Washington when he was
secretary of state, and the second session tn the City ot
Mexico In 1901-2.
At the latter session a great deal was done In the
Interest of the Pan-American republics, Including a de
cision that these sessions should bo held thereafter every
five years, Instead of ten, snd It Is in pursnance of this
determination that the present congress is being held in
Rio.
Seventeen republics ot North, Central and South
America will be repreaented, and because ot the trade
relations -between the 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 mad* 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 I* agreed that-the most Important question to be dis
cussed by the present session of the congress la the Drago
doctrine, which la sometimes called a corollary of the
Monroe doctrine.
This principle was enunciated by Dr. Louis M. Drago,
learned publicist of Argentina, and take* 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 1891 when the fleets of three foreign pow
ers—Great Britain, Germany and Italy—arrived In Ven-
esuelan waters with the avowed purpose of forcing Ven-
exuela to require certain citizens to pay obligations ow
ing to the subjects of the three powers of Europe.
Argentina was the first South American country to
raise a note ot 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 tho three foreign powers were glad to avail them
selves ot the good offices ot 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 dobta coull
not be collected by force.
It will be remembored that the award ot The Hague
tribunal was against Venesuela, which Immediately raised
the cry that the tribunal was packed by European credi
tor nations.
There have bean suggestions that The Hague tribunal
be asked to decide whether force should be used Id the
collection of debts, aa an International proposition, and
If ao to what extent, tn view of the decision of the
tribunal In the Venesuela case, the suggestion of submit
ting the question to The Hague Is opposed by some of the
South American republics, and thla la 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 ot the Salvador Improvement Company's claim
against Salvador and Is again pursuing the same course
toward Venesuela In the matter ot the asphalt claims.
The occasion acquiree 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 Is one ot the most Important features of
the program. It Is by no means all, and the special In
terests ot the South may be regarded aa safe In the hands
of Hon. Van Leer Polk, ot 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 Interest In the pub
lic mind to know all about her. Will you please publish
In The Georgian her dimensions, and th* size ot her bat
tery. I hear It Is light—not heavlsr than six-inch guns.
Remembs/, this Is the second cruiser ot the name;
the first was w.-ecked on the coast of th* Island of Luzon
Novemuer 7. 1899, without loss of life. Yours truly, T
Rome. Ga. M. F. GOVAN.
The armored cruiser Charleston, built In 1901-2, has
a displacement of 9,700 tons, carries 14 6-lnch guns, has
two torpedo tubes, 21,030 horse-power and develop* a
■peed of 211-2 knots. She is of the same class as the
St. Louis snd Milwaukee.
England’s Support of the Douma.
Oqe can well Imagine the peculiar delight with
wHIch Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the premier of
Great .Britain, glorified the Russian'douma. members ot
which were'at the moment sitting In the Interparlia
mentary conference being held at Westminster, and In
the warmth of hta seal shouted, “The douma la dead;
long live the douma!”
There was an answering shout from the members
present, Indicating qlenrly the atUtude of the friends of
representative government, and not the least from the
English members themselves. Before the shouts bad
died away th* members of the douma sorrowfully an
nounced that Inasmuch as the Russian parliament had
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 the present crisis In Russia
can only be understood In the 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, oa 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, aiKl when DlRraell attempted to flout It he was
swept from power. It looms always In the 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 Is to secure a southern
outlet and that the Invasion of India Is liable to occur
at any time.
Then, too. they remember tbe blood that has been
spilled for which Russia was responsible. In all tbe
military annals ot Great Britain for a hundred years
she has never come out of any conflict with less glory
than she did In the Crimean war. and tbe consciousness
of the fact atill rankles In her heart.
The ties of blood which bind the English sovereign
to the czar, the love ot peace which Is the inspiration ot
the present Interparliamentary conference are all very
well In their way. But the people of England do not
conceal tbe fact that they find comfort and hope In the
Impending change of tbe form of Rusila's government
It la not to he wondered at therefore, that they ap
plauded the vigorous words of the liberal leader In tbe
conference yesterday, when he shouted “The douma It
dead; long live tho douma.” ,
CHANGE THE TIME FOR ELECTIONS.
To the Editor of The Georgian i
Several years ago tbe time of meeting of tbe leglala-
ture was changed from fall to summer, but the elections
continue to be held In October. It may be remarked
that there are only five states that do not begin their leg
islative sessions In January, Granting that tbe summer
suits us best, there ai'e, however, objections against our
present system of primaries and elections.
In tbe first place nearly all tho 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 the elec
tion of senators. Senator Bacon's term will expire
March, 1907. The law ot the United States directs that
his successor shall be elected by the legislature “which
Is chosen next preceding the expiration of the time tor
which he was elected.” This legislature will be elected
In October. It will not meet 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 ot senators, but If this were allowable It would
cost several thousand dollars. If no special session Is
called the governor would appoint a senator that would
hold the place till the legislature should meet In regular
session and elect a successor. And this would occur
twice every six years.
Another objection to our present system relates to
the matter of gubernatorial succession. If Governor Tef-
rell should die. resign or become disabled during tho
eight months between the election In October and the
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 gorernor but 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 the
meeting of the legislature. Under tbe old regime there
were none of the above objections to arise. Legislators
were not selected till after their two terms of session.
The time of expiration of ono senatorial term found a
successor duly and regularly elected, and the president
of the senate was elected at practically tha aa mo time
when the governor waa Inaugurated. There are difficul
tly ((implications in tin- wav -if making such
a change, but I will not discuss them now. According
to the constitution the time for the election of members
(if the legMatur,- ns well UK tbe time of meeting can le-
changed “by law,” so It seems that a constitutional
amendment would not be necessary'.

Tariff, “father we have been Indicted for ‘conspiracy in
restraint of trade.'"
“Oh! boys, how could you be so naughty!" exclaimed
Papa Tariff In pained surprise.
“Nonsense, my dear Tarry,” Interposed Mrs. Tariff
(nee 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.

How gurely and beautifully this
world moves toward higher knowledgs
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 of all kinds, doss th* dawn
of the 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 cruel
treatment.
Science and humanltarlanlsm have
f irogressed to s wonderful degree In the
aat hundred years, and now abmes a
most liuniare proposition from Mr.
George Sanders, of No. 1864 Pacific
street, Brooklyn, as follows:
After consulting with friends,
doctors, nurserymen and others, I
have been moved to submit to the
state -board ot commissioners qn
lunacy a plan for developing ten
acrea or so of land belonging to
each state hospital Into a fruit
garden.
This gardent would supply ths
hospital with a large quantity and
variety ot fruit* snd also prove of
great value to th* many patients
who could be employed In the gar
den, thus giving them outdoor ex
ercise which would prov* so Inter

of restoring many a mind to Its
normal condition.

light, with nature and medical science
to assist In their restoration of the
mind; surely this shows progress In
our Idea of duty toward the Insane
since the days of our great grandfath
ers.
Now let the same methods be applied
when possible to the other Invalids 'of
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 la

away from all contact with nature, and
given' the association of other unfortu

SUN, AIR AND EARTH.
Sun, air, earth—they are three great

and bodies.
They will do more toward reform

than pills and ponden and opiates.
More than preachen and sermons.

To the Editor of The Georgian:
The state legislature has had more
criticism than co-operation In th* en
actment of good snd wholesome laws.
It has needed the co-operation snd per
haps deserves- much of the criticism
that It ha* 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 ths case ot Randolph county, which
was prohlbltloned, a bill was passed
submitting the question of dispensary
or no dispensary to th* people, snd aft
er a vigorous campaign th* prohibi
tionists of the county, notwithstanding
the large negro vote, defeated the other
side. The good people thought, thers.
fore, that the question was practically
finally settled. It now turns out that
the representative from Randolph In
troduce* 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 wlli file thV minority
report. This measure was recommend
ed by representatives from the wet
counties, one ot Fulton's representa
tives voting In favor of It. These are
facts which can be proven beyond the
queatlon of a doubt.
It strikes me. therefore, that It 1*
utterly unfair for the Georgia legisla
ture to have the power to thrust a dis
pensary, for the sale of Intoxicant "liq
uors, on n county or In a town where
the people, by the exercise of their
franchtsement, 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 notlitng short
of a burning shame, after the people
have said by their votes that they do
not want the dispensary for the leg
islature to thrust It upon them whether
or no, and It Is ell the more ao since
th* recommendation for the passage ot
the bill came from tbe Judiciary, a
majority of whose members are from
wet counties In the state, such as Ful
ton, Chatham and others.
It Is high time that the citisens In
this free republic were entering s pro
test.

“The Jungle” Was ■ Hit
(Covington Enterprise.)
The Atlanta Georgian Is to be com
mended for Its serial publication of
“The Jungle,” by Upton Sinclair, the
book which has led to such a stir In the
beet trust scandals. The book la doubt
less th* most widely read of any other
■t the present Urns, snd while expo
sure of the packing house methods has
been praised, its plea for socialism has
been criticised, as marring Its effect as
a work of art. However that may be
“ *- a great book, and Incalculable
good has resulted In Its starting a cru
sade against a business that Is nothin?
short of murder. * ”

IN GEORGIA.
Freed from th* bonds of labor,
From factory's dirt and din,
Pure childhood Is protected
From the lurking gems of tla.
Innocence reclaims her owe,
And clam them to her breast.
The Monster Greed hat P«4“e«
And childhood's realms are blest.
No more work beyosd their
Will cause small heads to .droop.
No mere unnatural hordes*
Will ctffidrrs's shoulder* stoop-
Eventide will not Ssd them
Blackened and besmirched with
For shackle* which have bound to ■
By righteous laws are broke.
Merciless wheel* of commerce
Win sot grind them Into gold.
Georgia's future commonwealth
