Entered as steoed-claas eutier April IS. ISOS, at tbe Postoffle* at Atlanta. Ga.. under act of contreu of March I. 117*. 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. Tbe gen' tleuen who went out on the tour of Inspection some weeks ago found that the condition of the slaughter bouses was absolutely intolerable. We cannot 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 III from their tour of In vestigation. The filth and corruption which prevailed In the slaughter houses around Atlanta literally put to shame tbe very worst examples of this kind around Packing- town. It is almost unthinkable that there should have been any reactionary tendency during this period of reform. It has been so clearly established that the conditions sur- Thc Time for Action Has Come. An able article In yesterday's Georgian from the pen of Judge George HUIyer attracted the widespread and earnest attention which utterances trom*thls distinguish ed citlxen always enlist. He pointed out In forceful and convincing terms that the tendency of tbe law In recent times has been to protect the criminal and to bind hand and toot 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 agitation. He sees no reason why a day or an hour of delay should bp conceded to the culprit who bas not granted even one moment to his helpless victim. This is along the line which the people of this com- munity must consider seriously and soberly within the next few days. Agitation In favor of tbe establishment of some definite plan to end this "Reign of Terror,” has reached fever heat and tbe 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 and defi nite plan on which every one can unite—some plan which will absolutely prevent the continuance of 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 of tbe representative citizens 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. Tbe 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 sur rounds us In this crisis. It Is to be borne in mind that the present protests will lose much of their force and effectiveness if the dominant note is an appeal to the Irresponsible mob. Radical measures let them be. Desperate diseases re quire desperate remedies. But over all and above all the rounding our meat Inspection and slaughter houses were ^ ... .. so crude that they did not need even the condemnation h° n Wh °. m . eet . tO * 0ther ln «>ls deliberative assembly of the Impartial critic to call attention to them. But this attention has been drawn In a most emphatic manner and the people now Insist that Inspection shall be thorough. Councilman Taylor and the brave coadjutors who have 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 shpervislon of the special committee Is con cerned. It Is earnestly hoped that the entire council will adopt the suggestion of the special 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 Amerl can people that the the one Issue which looms large upon the horizon Is Tariff. It seems nothing short of amusing to have the little dogs and all—"Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart"—barking at the Bane 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 are prospering beyond the dreams of avarice—when the looms and the splndlos are uniting In a song of prosperity and rejoicing—there should be no place for tho dissen tient element. Even New England Is coming to realize that this cry of "protection” Is a farco and a fraud. Take the ar mor plate, for Instance. The state of Pennsylvania Is not likely to be helpful ln the revisionist cause, except by affording Illustra tions of tbe conditions that have to be dealt with. Penn sylvania is steel-bound In high protection. From the Carnegie works In Pittsburg to the Midvale works in Phlladolpha stretches the armor platp 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 can afford to cut the price over a quarter of a million, and still assure themselves of largo profits, because the tar iff as It stands enables them to play with these largo figures. A difference of $123 per ton in a single year gives the cheerful taxpayer an Idea of what the tariff has been doing for him ln a stnglo line. Tbe stand-patters will say that this very reduction proves the beneficence of the tariff, that the latter has aroused competition, which has In turn brought down the price. The taxpayer, on the other hand, should ask how much be has 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 Idas than 1600 per ton and that the makers would prefer to aban don that branch of their enterprise rather than reduce their bids. Yet they have found It expedient to continue the business In the face of Increased cost for labor and material. And their processes remain as they were. It may be said that the armor plate business Is an exceptional case; that.the American makers of this prod- net have bnt 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 plate 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 hand, a single order may, as this one for the armor of the Michigan and South Carolina would, keep a mill busy for a year. The deliveries in this case are to be 600 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 many 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 utilize a few leisure hours ln 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 n 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 lew manufacturers who can reduce the price of their product by f3? per ton, or even $36, 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 tbe trusts and at the same time maintain the mother of trusts—the tariff. The country, from end to end, hss agitated Itself over the "Iniquities" of tha trusts and the control of the necessities of life. But when the voter created tho tariff be created the means whereby trusts flourish; he presented tn the organlzstious which he now reviles the Instrument which extracts tbe dollars from his packet. . must be distinctly of the representative class of our peo ple. and their words of soberness should prevail during those hours of deliberation. We do not believe that the re-establishment of the Ku-Klux Klan as outlined and advocated In certain quar ters Is best adapted to the situation. The probabilities are all too great that ln this great recrudescence of a system found necessary In the days of reconstruction will drift more or less completely Into the hands of the irre sponsible, and that the highest type of representative cit izens will not lend it their aid and prestige. It is In deed a grave matter when we announce to the world that we have defied all the machinery of social order and trampled under foot the forms of law—that we have appealed to the vengeance of tho mob though that mob be enlisted in a secret ‘organization with signs and pass words such as was once known as tbe 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 and throughout the South ern states. With all the earnestness of our nature we ap peal to the best citizens of this community, to the mer chants, the bankers, tho professional men, to clear-head ed and substantial men In every walk of life, to attend the 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 tho salvation of tho South. The time for saying merely that something ought to be done Is past and the time has come for absolute and emphatic action. . DINKELSPIEL ON STREET CARS By GEORGE V. HOBART. GEORGE V. HOBART. The Fonetic Spelling An avalanche of criticism has swept down on the de voted heads of Andrew Carnegie, Brander Mathews and one Theodora Roosevelt, all of whom baye conspired to slaughter tbe English language. The president's ipso dixit has brought out to many protests that it must have put a crimp In his own self- importance to realise that he could spell thru with a "u" If he chose “tu," but It would make very little difference to the rest of the world, or oven tb<r rest of the depart ments outside of the executive. Fulmlnatlons from an executive head cannot change the usages of a third of a mlllenium. The English lan guage has evolved from that crude agglomeration known as Anglo-Saxon, Norman French and straight-out latinlsm, brought In by the schoolmon after the dark ages. It has been a logical process of development, and It cannot be eradicated In a day, even by the combined wisdom and wealth of Carnegie and Brander Mathews. Thoso who have given this matter passing Interest may bo pleased to read tho rules so far furnished for tljo use of the reformed spoiler: 1. When offered a choice between ae and e, choose e. Example: Anesthetic, esthetic, medieval. 2. If the choice lies between e and no o In words like abridgment, lodgment, acknowledgment, always omit the o. 3. Use t In place of ed for the past, or past participlo of verbs ending ln s, sh or p. Examples: Dipt, dript, prest, dlstrest, huaht, washt. An astonishing array of high literary authorities from Spencer to I-owcll Is cited In support of this latter simplification. 4. Stick to ense tn preference to ence when you have choice. Exnmple: Defense, offense, pretense. 5. Don’t double the t In coquet, epaulet, etiquet, 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. 8. Write the Greek suffix -tse, or -Ixe with tbe z by preference. Example: Catechise, criticize. 9. Where any authority allows it omit the e on words spelled with -ite. Example; Proterlt. 10. Use a single I in words like, distil. Instil, fulfil. 11. 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. 13. In words spelled with oo, 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 t In place of ph. Example; Sulfur, fantasm. 16. In words spelled with a double, use a single r. As, bur, pur. 17. Spell theatre, centre, etc., ln the English way- center, theater, niter, miter. 18. If a word Is spelled with s or s In root use the as. apprise, surprize. 19. From words aiiolled with sc- or s- omit the c. Ex ample: Simitar, sithe. , 20. Omit tho silent terminal -ue When allowed. Exam ple: Catalog, decalog, demagog, pedagog. Such are tho rules adopted by the new phonetic board. Those who wish to learn them may do so. Home, Recently.

Much has been written of Dr. El mer Oates' experiment with a dying placed In front of a sensitized screen. According to reports (made by Dr. Ward before an audience in Lon ion). Professor Gates found that so long as the rat was alive it threw a shadow. When It wus killed it became suddenly transparent. "Here," said the locturer, “there was a strange phenomenon. At.the very In stant the rat became transparent shadow of exactly the same shape was noticed to pnss, as tt were, out of and beyond the glass tube and vanish passed upward on the sensitised screen.” Science is creeping along, slowly but surely. In the wake of the psychics, and will eventually corroborate all that the ancient seers and the modern the' osophlstd hare declared. On page 144 of "The Great "Psycho logical Crime" (a book published by the Indo-Aitierican Book Co., of Chi cago, In 1902) occurs the following statement, which Is Interestingly elm liar to Dr. Gates' assertion: "At the period of dissolution of an animal It Is clear (to one who Is able to observe the transition) that tbe spir itual body carries with It the animat Ing principle of the animal entity. It. due course of time, however, the ani mal disappears from the animal spir itual plane." Life After Death. The author of the book proceeda to •tate that the human bring who has developed sits belter 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 the animal possess a spiritual body, the higher being progresses more rapidly to greater opportunities after the body Is cast off. Should science prove the fact (as It will) of the existence of all life after death, the above statement must bs 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 horses In heaven?” You associate with them here," I replied, "and you do not aeem 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 ths question which troubles you.” In the older religions of the world the sneredness 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 baa put ani mals on the plane with machines; and It has made future existence a Hu man Trust, In which the lower crea tures ran have no share. J. Howard Moore, ln his "The Uni versal Kinship," says: "The doctrine of universal kinship Is as old as human philosophy. It was taught by that divine soul Buddha, by Pythagoras and by Plutarch, who In the breadth and Intensity of hts moral 1 "fvaAvjiirwL. 1 ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. 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 Is going to receive unprecedented recognition in all departments of hu man thought.” Rider Haggard something less than two years ago stated that he was posi tive that he saw. the spiritual body of his dog at the exact moment when (as It transpired the 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 quail ties to continue. The world needs this belief in the future life of animal^ to vitalize and animate Its religion Into practical expressions of . the Golden Rule. Man Is an animal. A higher animal, to b6 sure, the highest yet evolved, but still an animal. All other lesser forms of life are his kin. All life Is from tho Eternal SouYce. and will go on and on, through various planes of existence. Just In proportion to the development of the love nature, the power of un selfish devotion, the Intelligent use of life’s privileges, will the opportunities of the next stage of life be given us. There Is nothing shocking to my sense of dignity in the thought that many loved animals on earth mav he 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 hepr 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 inv dumb kin may be turned upon mv spir it In that hour, and that when I meet the Great Master H* may say appro*'** Ingly, not repr*'achf'illv, ”As ye did unto the lenst of my little ones, ye did It unto Me.” !

The reason for conferring the title will be, It la said, the gallant ac. tlon of his son, John Jacob, lieutenant In the Life Guards, In saving one of hla troopers from drowning. Mr. As. tor tuts 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, ns the re- suit of the Judicious expenditure of his New York rent money. < That Mrs. William Thaw has left Pittsburg for good and all seems well assured.
