Reform the Slaughter Houses.
The revelations made boforo the apeclal committee
of council on Tueaday afternoon ae to the Inefflclency of
meat Inapectlon, the quantity of diseased meat offered
for sale, and the unsanitary method* of slaughter, have
sent a shudder through the people of Atlanta, and crys
tallized the determination that something shall be done
to improve existing conditions.
It was through the columns of The Georgian that the
attention of the general publle was flrat called to the out
rageous condition of affairs existing here. It wae Infor
mation received In this office and published on July 4
which first opened the eye* of the people to the tact that
they were baying meet 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 ape
clal committee, headed by Mr. W, L. Taylor, to Investl-
gate the situation and make such recommendation* as
it saw proper.
The bearing* before this apeclal committee on Tuea
day more than confirmed The Georgian’s reports that dis
eased cattle, slaughtered by unsanitary methods, were
being aold to the peopto of Atlanta.
The whole affair, as It now stands exposed, smells to
heaven, and the moat drastic measure* should be adopted
at once to protect the people of Atlanta. There la no
charge against the inspectors except that they have moro
work to do under the present system than they can pos
sibly attend to. It is the system which Is fundamentally
wrong, and It Is the system that should be enUrely re
formed. Now that the evidence, abundant and complete,
has been furnished by men who are beat qualified to
know and to speak on the subject, the agitation must re
sult 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
all meat for consumption in the city must pats, after
a close and adequate Inapectlon. If It Is Impracticable
to havo 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 of this city.
The demand for aome such arrangement comes, not
merely from the consumers, but from the meat deal
era of every class who have the interests of the trade
and of th* people at heart.
When It is officially announced that only three of
the fourteen slaughter house* 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 reform.
I themselves Introduced this bill will go back on their own
I 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 consideration*.
Do they recall that the present bouse voted #1 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-tbirds 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 house and of the people of Oeorgla on this ques
tion, If the present bill is weakened by amendment In
the senate, It may be defeated In the house on the
ground that a more drastic bill will certainly pass the
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 breese 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 Georgia are wise men- We be
lieve they can road the sign* of the times.
A Friendly Word to the Manufacturers.
The legislature of 1900 had before It a child labor
hill which received but SS votes In the house. A better
blU received 75 votes in the house of 1901. The present
house, la 1901, gave 101 votes to th* Bell bill, a majori
ty of 41. A few days ego the house voted tor an Im
proved bill by a majority of 111, the vote standing 115 to
2. That accurately represents the progress of this re
form Li Oeorgla.
The senate last summer defeated the boose bill by
s vote of IS 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. 8trange. Bond, Ben
nett. McHenry, 8teed, Wheatley, Birmans, Carlthers, Foy,
Woodworth, Westbrook, Adams, Crum, Peyton, Foster.
Furr, Lumaden, Qrayblll, Copslsn and Carswell—twenty-
five In ad, 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 pasting the senate and
being offered to the house. Instead of that a transcrip
tion made a slight difference between the house and the
senate committee, which almply carries out the Intent of
the original senate bUI.
The Georgia Industrial AssoclaUon at Ita recent meet
ing agreed among themselves that they would offer
no opposition to the passage of the Bell bill of last
sujnmer. 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, I* a more
effecUve measure, and surely no one wants such a law to
be another dead letter statute. 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
nf school age to work one year unless the child shall
have attended school the preceding year. This la 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 In the Interests of edu
cation. The senators have been bombarded with tele
grams and a bearing has been ordered tor those opposing
the bill. We desire to say that In view of the claims,
many of them well-founded, that these manufacturers
are th* patron* of education, the builders and supporters
" schools, they cannot afford to put themselves In this
ttltode of opposing this reasonable educational provis
ion for their own employees.
W* are unwilling to believe that th* senators who
The Pan-American Congress.
Early tomorrow Secretary Root will arrive at Rio
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 G. Blaine, the first aesalon having
been held sixteen years ago In Washington when he was
secretary of state, and the second session In the City of
Mexico In i901-2.
At the latter aesalon a great deal was done In the
Interest of the Pan-American republics, Including a de
cision that these aesalon* should be held thereafter every
five years, Instead of ten, and It It 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 the South, at least through our South-
ern porta, It may be regarded as having a special Interest
for the people of this section..
That It may ba made a power for good la our com
mercial relations, which find a natural expansion with
the countries to the south of us, goes without saying, but
It la agreed that the moat Important question to be dis
cussed by the present session of the congress Is the Drago
doctrine, which la sometimes called a corollary of the
Monroe doctrine.
This principle was enunciated by Dr. Ix>uls M. Drago,
a learned publicist of Argentina, and takes the position
that foreign countries hare 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—Great Britain, Germany and Italy—arrived in Ven-
esuelan waters with the avowed purpose of forcing Ven-
ezuola to require certain citizens to pay obligations ow
ing to the subjects of the three powers of Europe.
Argentina was the flrat South American 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 ot 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 coull
not be collected by force.
It will be remembered that the award of The Hague
tribunal was against Venesuela, which Immediately raised
the cry that the 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 ot debts, as an International proposition, and
It so to what extent In view ot 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 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 li pointed out that this government forced the settle
ment of the Salvador Improvement Company's claim
against Salvador and la again pursuing the same course
toward Venesuela In the matter ot 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 Is one ot the most Important features of
th* program, It la by no means all, and the special In
terests of the South may be regarded as safe In the hands
ot Hon. Vsn I,eer Polk, of Tennessee, and Hon. A. J.
Montague, of Virginia.
yoke It, and when Disraeli attempted to flout It ho was
swept from power. It looms always in the background
like “the pestilence that walkcth In darkness and the
destruction that wasteth at noonday.”
Englishmen know that the one overmastering am
bition of the Russian empire la 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 has been
spilled for which Russia was responsible. In all the
military annals of Great Britain for a hundred years
abe has never como out of any conflict with less glory
than she did in the Crimean war, and the consciousness
of the fact still rankles In her heart.
The ties of blood which bind the English sovereign
to the czar, the love of peace which is the Inspiration of
the present Interparliamentary conference are all very
well In tbelr way. But the people of England do not
conceal the fact that they And comfort and hope In the
Impending change of the form of Russia’s government
It la 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 doumB."
CHANGE THE TIME FOR ELECTIONS.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Several years ago fife time of meeting of the legisla
ture was changed from fall to summer, but the elections
continue to be held In October. It may be remarked
that there are only fire state* that do not begin their leg
islative sessions In January. Granting that th# summer
suit* 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 the elec
tion of senators. Senator Bacon's term will expire
March, 1907. The law of the United States directs that
hla successor shall be elected by the legislature “which
Is chosen next preceding the expiration of the time for
which he was elected.” This legislature will be elected
In October. It will not meet till June. Senator Bacon's
time la out remember, in March. The law does not seem
to contemplate special sessions of the legislature for the
election of abnators, but If this were allowable It would
cost several thousand dollars. If no special session la
called the governor would appoint a senator that would
hold the place till the legislature should meet In regular
Houston 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 Tcf-
r-il sliould 'll-, resign nr heroine disabled during tl.-■
eight months between the election In October and the
meeting of the legislature In Juno there would not be
any legal successor ready to take his place. The con
stitution says that the speaker of the senate shall suc
re,-l tl,-* governor Imt tin- sei.aV would no' have m--t
and of course It would not have any speaker.
These objections would be avoided If we should bare
—ir as. as w.- ur, ,1 to do. two weeks 1 r• • the
meeting <■’. the legislature. Under the old regime there
were none of the above objections to arise. Legislators
were not selected till after their two terms of session.
The time ot expiration of one senatorial term found a
successor duly and regularly elected, and the president
of the senate was elected at practically the same time
when the governor was inaugurated. There are difflenj-
tles and complications In the way of making such
a change, but I will not dlscuaa them now. According
to the constitution the time for the election of members
of the legislature as well as the time of meeting can be
changed “by law,” so It seems that a constitutional
amendment would not be necessary.

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 1? you hadn’t been a restraint of

The Charleston’s Dimensions.
The trip of Secretary Root on the cruiser Charleston
round South America baa created an Interest In the pub
lic mind to know all about her. Will you please publish
In The Georgian her dimensions, and the also ot her bat
tery. I hear It la light—not heavier than six-inch guns.
Remember, this I* the second cruiser of the name;
the flrat waa wrecked on the coast of the Island of Luson
November 7, 1899, without loss of life. Yours truly,

a displacement of 9,700 tons, carries 14 6-Inch guns, has
two torpedo tubes, 21,030 horse-power and develops a

St. Louis 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 ot
which were at the moment sitting In the Interparlia
mentary conference being held at Westminster, and in
the warmth of hla seal shouted, "The douma la dead;
long live the douma!” v
There was an answering about from the members
present. Indicating clearly the attitude of the friends of
representative government, and not the 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 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
ot Russian and English hatred. Like the negro question
In the South, the "Russian question" baa always been
a name to conjure with on the part ot British statesmen.

How aurely and beautifully this
world move* toward higher knowledge
of truth and kindness!
Never waa there such promise of the
hoped for millennium as now.
Yes, now, while the air la full of re
ports of evil, of robbery and bribery
and crime of all kinds, does the dawn
of the greatest spiritual era ot 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
progreased to a wonderful degree In the
last hundred years, and now comes a
mo*: humare proposition from Mr.
Oeorge Sanders, of No. 1866 Pacific
street, Brooklyn, as follows:
After consulting with friends,
doctors, nurserymen and others, I
have been moved to submit to the
state board of commissioners on
lunacy a plan for developing ten
here* or so ot land belonging to
each state hospital Into a fruit
garden.
This gardent would supply the.
hospital with a large quantity i
and
variety of frulte 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 STEP AHEAD.
The Idea Is admirable. I hope It will
meet with encouragement and assist
ance 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; aurely this shows progress In
our Idea ot 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 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.
Sun, air, earth—they are three great
ministers tor sick and diseased eouls
and bodies.
They will do more toward reform
ation and restoration- than the cell, sol
itary confinement and the lash. More
d>
than pills and' powders and opiates.
More than preachers and sermons.
Heaven speed the -day when all the
ments, when weary mothers and worn
out workmen will have the benefit of
God’s beautiful earth and the sunshine
and the fresh air a portion of every
here Is room for all; the blessed
trolley llnee are making transportation
possible at email 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.
The 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
thsm.

To the Editor of The Georgian:
The state legislature has hod more
criticism than co-operation In the en
actment of good and wholesome laws.
It has needed tbe co-operation and per
haps deserves much of the criticism
that It has received. By It* enact
ments st 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 prohlblttoned, a bill was passed
submitting th* question of dispensary
or no dispensary to th* people, and aft
er a vigorous campaign the prohibi
tionists ot the county, notwithstanding
the large negro vote, defeated tbe other
side. Th* good people thought, there
fore, that the question waa practically
finally settled. It now turns out that
the representative from Randolph In
troduces s bill providing for the estab
lishment of s dispensary In th* city
of Cuthberi, tho county alto. This
measure was referred to the judiciary
committee and received recommenda
tion for Its passage by s majority vbte.
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 waa 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 strikes 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 liq
uors, on a county or. In a town- where
the people, by the exercise of their
franchleement, have said they do not
want IL 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
ot 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 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 In the state, such as Ful-
