Let Council Act.
The people of Atlanta are delighted to know that the
measure providing for cleaner and more efficient meat In
spection In this city, has passed the Initial stages.
Chiefly due to the unceasing labors of Councilman
Walter A. Taylor this agitation has reached the point
where the whole community absolutely and Imperatively
demand that the meat supply of Atlanta should be not
only pure, but in every way above suspicion. The gen
tlemen who went out on the tour of Inspection some
weeks ago found that the condition of the slaughter
houses was absolutely Intolerable. We caunot put the
matter more delicately with a due regard to the gastron
omy of our readers, than to say that members of this
committee were made absolutely 111 from their (our of In
vestigation.
The fllth and corruption which prevailed In the
slaughter houses around Atlanta literally put to shame
the very worst examples of this kind around Packing-
town.
. It is almost nnthlnkablo that there should have beon
any reactionary tendency during this period of reform. It
has been so clearly established that the conditions sur
rounding our meat Inspection and slaughter houses were
so crude that they did not need even the condemnation
of the Impartial critic to call attention to them. But this
attention has been drawn In a most emphatic manner and
the peoplp now Insist that Inspection shall be thorough.
Councilman Taylor and the brave coadjutors who
bare linked Issues with him are determined that this
measure shall become a law, and that the people of this
community shall have pure food, so far as the superin
tendence and supervision of tho special committee Is con
cerned.
It is earnestly hoped that the entire council will
adopt the suggestion of the speclnl committee with a
unanimity and with a fervor which will leave no shadow
of doubt on the minds of any man In Atlanta that we In
tend to have pure food under the most rigid Inspection.
Tariff Reform Looms Large.
Slowly but forcefully It Is brought home to the Ameri
can people that the the one Issue which looms largo upon
the borlson Is Tariff.
It seems nothing short of nmuslng to haro the little
dogs nnd all—“Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart”—barking
at the sane and conservative Democracy which Insists
that the robber tariff has wrung as much money from
the people as should be allowed. At a period when we
ore prospering boyond the dreams of avarice—when tho
looms and the spindles are uniting In a song of prosperity
and rejoicing—there should be no place tor the dlason
tlent element.
Even Now England Is coming to realise that this
cry of "protection" Is a farce and a fraud. Take tho ar
mor plate, for Instance.. '
The state of Pennsylvania Is not likely to be helpful
In tho revisionist cause, except by affording Illustra
tions of the conditions that have to be dealt with. Penn
sylvania Is steel-bound In high protection. From the
Carnegie works In Plttaburg to the Midvale works in
Phlladelpha stretches the armor plate belt of high pro
tectionism, behind which the,metal and coal and other
Industries shelter themselves and extort tribute from
the country at large. In a single transaction Involving
anywhere from two and one-half to more than two and
three-quarter millions of dollars, the manufacturers cau
afford to cut the price over a quarter of a million, and
still assure themselves of large profits, because the tar
iff as it stands enables them to play with these largo
figures. A difference of $122 per ton In a single year
gives the cheerful taxpayer an Idea of what the tariff hns
been doing for him In a single line. The stand-patters
will say that this very reduction proves the beneficence
of the tariff, that the latter hat aroused competition,
which has In turn brought down the price. The taxpayer,
on the other hand, should ask how much he hns been
mulcted In extraordinary profits during recent years. It
Is not so long ago that a credulous country was told that
armor plate could not possibly be supplied for less than
|600 per ton and that the makers would prefer to aban
don that branch of tholr enterprise rather than reduce
their bids. Yet they hnve found It expedient to continue
tho business In tho face of Increased cost tor labor and
material. And their processes remain as (hey were.
It may be aald'that the armor plate business Is an
exceptional case; that the American makers of this prod-
net have but one customer, and that this customer does
not place orders every day. But that presentation of the
case does not help matters much. It Is true that there Is
but one customer for armor plato In this country. Is that
a good reason why the customer should be bled? It Is
true that orders are not placed every day, but, on the
Other band, a single order may. as this one for the armor
of the Mlchigau and South Carolina would, keep a mill
busy for a year. The deliveries In this case are to be
604 tons per month. At the rate we build our navy not
even the "Infant” steel Industry has cause to complain of
lack of government sustenance. But the armor plate In
dustry Is only one of mgny Into which the diligent voter
can probe for Instruction on the effects of a high tariff.
And now that a congressional election Is coming on, the
voter might utilise a few leisure hours In an attempt to
satisfy himself as to the benefits which he derives from
the rate of taxation which Is said to be maintained for his
peculiar pleasure. Between the Increased cost of living,
which the average man finds a cause for constant
criticism, and the application of the doctrine that a nation
may be enriched by taxation, there is a direct relation
which can be found If sought for. It Is true that there
are tew manufacturers who can reduce the price of their
product by 197 per ton. or even 1-16, and continue to flour
ish: but there Is -proportion In all these matters, and the
high tariff keeps the scale. It Is futile to get out of tem
per with the trusts and at the same time maintain the
mother of trusts—the tariff. The country, from end to
end, has agitated Itself over tho "Iniquities” of the trusts
and the control of the necessities of life. But when the
voter created the tariff he created the means whereby
trusts flourish: he presented to the organisations which
he now reviles the Instrument which extracts the dollars
bom his pocket.
The Time for Action Has Come,
An able article In yesterday's Georgian from the
of Judge Oeorge Hlllyer attracted • the widespread
earnest attention which utterances from this distinguish
ed cltlsen always enlist. He pointed out in forceful
convincing terms that the tendency of the law In recent
times has been to protect the criminal and to hind hand
and foot both Judge and Jury.
He says that In the adoption of legislation which will
Insure the speedy trial and execution of criminals lies the
best solution of the difficulties which surround Us In this
critical period of ngtlntlon. He sees no reason why
day or an hour of delay should be conceded to the culprit
who has not granted even oue moment to his helpless
victim.
This Is along the line which the people of this com
munity must consider seriously end soberly within the
next few days. Agitation In favor of the establishment
some definite plan to end this "Reign of Terror," has
reached fever heat and the people are determined that
the present uprising shall not evaporate In a mere "flash
In the pan" or In mock heroics signifying nothing. They
are grimly determined as they have never been before
that out of this chaos of Impassioned protest and multitu
dinous suggestions there must come some clear nnd defi
nite plan oti which every one can unite—some plan
which will absolutely prevent the continuance ot the pres
ent demoralisation and at the same time maintain the
dignity of the law and the prestige of social order.
We are Informed that at an early date a mass meet
ing oY the representative cltlxena of this county will be
held to devise the best plan of meeting the existing evils.
This purpose cannot be given too cordial commendation
and support Tho best people of Atlanta and of Fulton
county should meet together for a free exchange of views
and opinions and with an earnest desire to evolve some
adequate plan for solving the grave problem which aur-
rounds us In this crisis.
It Is to be borne In mind that the present protests
will lose much ot their force and effectiveness If the
dominant note la an appeal to tho Irresponsible mob.
Radical measures let them be. Desperate dleeases re
quire desperate remedies. But over all and above all the
men who meet together In this deliberative assembly
must be distinctly of tho representative class of our peo
ple, and their words of soberness should prevail during
those hours of deliberation.
We do not believe that the reestablishment of tho
Ku-Klux Klan as outlined and advocated In certain quar
ters la best adapted to the situation. The probabilities
are all too groat that In title great recrudescence of a
system found necessary In the days of reconstruction will
drift more or less completely Into the hands ot the Irre
sponsible, and that tho highest type of representative elt-
liens will not lend It their nld and prestige. It Is in
deed a grave matter when we announce to the world
that wo have deflod all (he machinery of social order
and trampled under foot the forms ot law—that we have
appealed to tho vengeance of the mob though that mob
be enlisted In a secret organization with signs and pass
words such as was once known as the Ku-Klux Klan.
But, with this word of timely admonition against the pre
cipitate adoption of such revolutionary methods, we re
assert the necessity and the urgent necessity of prompt
and vigorous measures to suppress the multiplying out
rages committed In this country nnd throughout the South
ern states. With all tho earnestness ot our nature we ap
peal to the best citizens of this community, to the mer
chants, the bankers, the professional men, to clear-head
ed and zubitantlal men In every walk of life, to attend
tho proposed mass meeting whenever and wherever It
shall be held and to lend to whatever plan may be
adopted their prestige and the force of their highest per
sonality In working out the salvation of the South.
The time for Baying merely that something ought to
be done Is past and the time has come for absolute and
emphatic action.
The Fonetic- Spelling
An avalanche of critlctim has swept down on the de
voted heads of Andrew Carnegie. Brander Mathews and
one Theodore Roosevelt, all of whom have conspired to
slaughter tho English language.
The president's Ipse dixit has brought out so many
protests that It must have put a crimp In his own self-
importance to realize that he could spell thru with a "u"
If he choee "tu," but It would make very little difference
to the rest of the world, or oven the rest of the depart
ments outside of tho executive.
Futmtnatlons from an executive head cannot chango
the usages of a third of a mlllonlum. The English lan
guage has evolved from that crude agglomeration known
as Anglo-Saxon, Norman French and straight-out latlnlsm,
brought In by the schoolmen after the dark ages. It has
been a logical process of development, nnd It cannot bo
eradicated In n day, even by the contblnod wisdom and
wealth of Carnegie and Brnnder Mathews.
Those who have given this matter passing Interest
may he pleased to read the rules so far furnished for tlje
uso of the reformed speller:
1. When offered a choice between ao and o, choose
e. Example: Anesthetic, esthetic, medieval.
2. If the choice lies between c and no o In words
like abridgment, lodgment, acknowledgment, always omit
the e.
I. Use t In place of ed for tho past, or past participle
of verbs ending In s, sh or p. Examples: Dipt, drlpt,
prest, dlstrest, husht. wnsht. An astonishing array of
high literary authorities from Spencer to laiwell Is cited
In support of this latter simplification.
4. 8ttck to ense In preference to enco when you have
choice. Example: Defense, offense, pretense.
6. Don't double the t 111 coquet, epnulet, ctlquet, ome
let.
6. When you can replace gh with f, do It. Example
Draft.
7. Better still, get rid of gh altogether. For plough,
write plow. For through, write thru.
5. Write the Greek suffix -Ise, or -tie with the z by
preference. Example: Catechlxe. criticize.
9. Where any authority allows It omit the e on words
spelled with -lte. Example; Preterit.
10. Use a single 1 In words like, distil, Instil, fulfil.
II. And omit one I from words now written like ful
ness. Example: Dulness.
12. In words sometimes spelled with one and some
times with a double m, choose the short form. Example;
Gram. program.
IS. In words spelled with oe, or e, choose e. Exam
ple: esophagus.
14. Always omit the u from words sometimes spelled
with -our. Example: labor, rumor.
15. Where you can get any authority use f In place
of ph. Example; Sulfur, fantasm.
1G. In words spelled with a double, use a single r.
As, bt|r, pur.
17. Spell theatre, centre, etc.. In the English way—
center, theater, niter, mtter.
18. If a word Is spelled with s or s In root use the
x; as. apprise, surprize.
19. From words spelled with sc- or s- omit the c. Ex
ample: Simitar, slthe.
20. Omit the silent terminal -ue when allowed. Exam
ple: Catalog, decalog, demagog, pedagog.
Such are the rules adopted by the new phonetic
board. Those who wish u> learn them may do so.

Much has been written of Dr. El
mer Gates’ experiment with a dying
rat, placed In front ot a sensitised
screen. According to reports (made by
Dr. Ward before an audience In Lon
don), Professor Gates found that so
long as the ruL was alive it threw a
shadow. When it was killed It became
suddenly transparent.
“Here,” said the lecturer, "there was
a strange phenomenon. At the very In
stant the rat became transparent a
shadow of exactly tne same shape was
noticed to pruni, us It were, out of nnd
beyond tho glass tube and vanish as It
passed upward on the sensitised
screen."
Science Is creeping along, slowly but
surely, In the wake of tho psychics,
und will eventually corroborate all that
the anclviit st-ors umi mo modern the-
osophlsts have declared.
On page 1(4 cf "The Groat Psycho
logical crime" <a book published by
the Indo-American Book Co., of Chi
cago, In 1902) occurs the following
statement, which Is interestingly sim
ilar to Dr. Gates' assertion!
"At tho iierlod of dissolution of an
animal it Is clear (to one who la able
to ubserve the transition) that the spir
itual body carries with It the animat
ing principle of the animal entity. In
due course of time, however, the ani
mal disappears from the animal spir
itual plune.”
Life After Death.
The author of the book proceeds to
atato that the human being who has
developed tils hatter nature to any ex
tent while upon earth "also disappears
from-- his first plane to reappear upon
a higher one;" so that while both the
man and tho animal possess a spiritual
hotly, the higher being progresses more
rapidly to greater opportunities after
the body Is enst off.
Should science prove the fact (as it
will) of the existence of all life after
death, the above statement must be
very gratifying to those anxious souls
who are distressed at the mere sug
gestion that any other order of crea
tion save man can enjoy the privilege
of Immortality.
"What,” said one, a man, to me re
cently, “do you mean to say that I will
have to associate with dogs, cats and
horsea In heaven 7”
"You associate with them here," I
replied, "and you do not seem to feel
degraded by living upon the same
earth with them.
"Why may they not enjoy the next
plane as well, and receive the benefits
of an Improved condition, the same as
yourself? You would still be their su
perior, If that Is the question which
troubles you."
In the older religions of the world the
sacredness of all life and Its oneness
with the Creative Principle are recog
nized; but in the orthodox creeds which
have taken the place of that simple and
beautiful religion taught by Christ
man's Inordinate egotism has put ani
mals on the plane with machines; and
It has made future existence a Hu
man Trust. In which the lower crea
tures can have no share.
J. Howard Moore, In hie "The Uni
versal Kinship,” says:
“The doctrine of universal kinship Is
ns old as human philosophy. It was
taught by that: divine soul Buddha, by
Pythagoras and by Plutarch, who In

nature was In advance of all save an
exceptional few of those living today,
two thousand years after him.
•'And now the central truth of the
Darwinian philosophy is the unity of
life. And during the next century this
truth la going tu receive unprecedented
recognition In all departments of hu
man thought."
Rider Haggard something less than
two years ago stated that he wns posi
tive that he saw the spiritual body of
hlu dog at the exact moment when (ns
It transpired tho following day) the
dog was dying.
A Needed Belief.
God would never have made so much
Intelligence, so much affection, so much
loyalty and gratitude ns exist In ani
mals unless He Intended these quali
ties to'continue. The world needs this
belief In the future lffe of animals to
vitnllze and nqlmnte Its religion Into
practical expressions of the Golden
Rule.
Sinn Is an animal. A higher animal,
to be sure, tho highest yet evolved, but
still nn animal. All other lesser forms
of life arc his kin.
All life Is from the Eternal Source,
ml will go on and on, through various
planes of existence.,
Just In proportion to the development
of the love nature, the power of un-
selflsh devotion, the Intelligent use of
life's privileges, will the opportunities
of the next stage of life be given w«.
There Is nothing shocking to ray
sense of dignity In the thought that
mnny loved animals on earth may be
found grazing In spiritual pastures
through which my soul will pass, after
Its release from the body, and that
from trees of living green I shall hear
the songs of birds, which have gone
before me.
So strong Is my belief In this that I
strive to treat dumb creatures In such
a way that no accusing eyes of my
dumb kin may be turned upon my spir
it In that hour, and that when I meet
the Great Master He may say approv
ingly, not reproachfully,' “As ye did
unto the least of my little ones, ye did
It unto Me.”

New York. Aug. 29.—The interesting
news cornea from London that when
King Edward sends in his batch of
dignities the long cherished ambition
of William Waldorf Astor for a title
will be gratified, and he Vlll be sir
William Waldorf Aetor-Efrt.
The reason for conferring the
title will be. It Is said, the gallant ac
tion,of hla son,, John Jacob, lieutenant
In the Life Guards, In saving one of
his trooper* from drowning. Mr. As
tor hue hoped for something better
than the red band, but will gratefully
accept the honor at the hands of his
"most gracious sovereign," In hope of
a coronet to come later, as the re
sult of the Judicious expenditure of hit
Now York rent money.,
That Mrs. William Thaw has left
Pittsburg for good and all seems well
assured. Whether she Will live In New
York or not depends upon the trial of
her son, Harry iC. Thaw, for the killing
of Slandfot'il White.
If he Is found guilty, she will g 0
abroad and make her home with her
daughter, the countess of Yarmouth.
Should Harry be declared insane and
sent to Mattewean, she will stay here.
Her home will be In New York In any
event until the fate of her son Is de
cided. The announcement from Pitts
burg that all the Thaw real estate
In that city Is to bo sold Is confirma
tion of Mrs. Thaw’a determination to
leave Pittsburg.
Two Yale and Harvard gridiron he
roes today plunged Into Connecticut
politics. They were Everett Lake, the
former Harvurd half back, and Frank
Butterworth, Yale's moBt famous full
back, son of B. K. Butterworth, former
congressman of Ohio. Lake was named
candidate for lieutenant governor by
the Republican state machine and his
formal nomination at the state conven
tion Is regarded as certain. Butter-
worth was announced as Republican
candidate for state senator from New
ilu ven.
The 'tiny mustache Is In again. Tht
smooth-faced man has had his day and
the chap with the drooping mustach*
must chop the droop oft and curl up
the ends If he wants to be considered
smart. Robert Walton Goelct has a
model mustache for the fall and win
ter ot 1904. as also have Dr. Leonard
Stuart end Alfred a. Vanderbilt, I.
Towsend Burden, Paul Andrews,
George W. Brooke, Jr., Marlon Wright,
Larry Waterbury, Charles B. Hlllhoust,
leggle C. Moellchs, Elisha Dyer, Jr.,
Pembroke Jones, Willie K., Jr., and
Sidney Smith.
They may be said to be promoters
of the new movement, and leaders Iq
the new style.
Within a year New York may have
a technical high schqol, to prepare girls
to become wives.
Such Is the plan officials of the
board of education now have under
consideration. Impetus to the move
ment has been given by the fact that
Cleveland has announced 11s Intention
of having thq flrst school of the kind In
the country.
"The Idea Is not as new as Cleve
land people evidently believe,” said Ed

To the Editor of The Georgian:
In view of your recent election I send
you a public contribution on the negro

think It worth publishing, I am glad
to ofTer It. We have made a very good
cltlsen of the negro by disfranchising
him. If you give the “squib" space,
kindly send me a paper.
Cordially yours, etc.,
