EntsroO Mcsad-cUu matter April a. ISM, at tha Postoffle* at Atlanta, Oa.. nndtr act of cottfrns of March A 1*79. 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 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 ill from tholr tour of in vestigation. The filth and corruption which prevailed in the slaughter houses around Atlanta literally put to ahame .the 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 eatablished 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 thla attention has been drawn In a most emphatic manner and the people now Insist that Inspection shall be thorough. Councilman Taylor ai)d 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 supervision of the special committee Is con- corned. 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 tho Ameri can people that the the one Issue which looms largo upon the horlxon Is Tariff. It seems nothing short of amusing to have the little dogs and all—"Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart”—barking at the sane and conservative Democracy which Insists Out 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 spindles are uniting In a song of prosperity and rejoicing—there should be no place for the dlasen- tient element. Even New England Is coming to realize that this cry of "protection” Is a farce and a fraud. Take the 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 Pittsburg to the Mldvnle works In Pblladelpha stretches the armor plate belt of high pro tectionism, behind which the metal and coal and other Industries shelter themselves and extort tribute from tbe country at large. In a single transaction Involving anywhere from two and ono-halt 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 large profltH, because tbe tar iff as it stands enables them to play with these largo figures. A difference of 9122 per ton In a single year gives the cheerful taxpayer an idea of what the tariff has 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 hna 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 tbe 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 tho armor plate business Is an exceptional case; that the American makers of thU prod- uct 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 plate In this country. Is that a good reason why the customer should be bled? It ts true that orders ajre 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 bo 600 tons |ter month. At the rate we build our navy not even tho "Infant” ateel Industry hns 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 ts coming on, the voter might utilize 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 few manufacturers who can reduce the price of tbolr product by 997 per ton, or even 936, and continue to flour ish; hut there it proportion in all these matters, and the high tariff keeps the scale. It Is futile to get out of tent- 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 the “Iniquities" of the trusts and the control of tho necessities of life. But when tho voter created the tariff he created tho means whereby trusts flourish; be presented to the organizations which lie now reviles the Instrument which extracts the dollars from his pocket. The Time for Action Has Come. An able article in yisterday'a Georgian from the pen of Judge George Htiiyer attracted the widespread and earnest attention which utterances from this distinguish- ed eftixen always enlist. He pointed out in forceful and convincing terms that the tendency of the law In recent times has been to prptect the criminal and to bind hand and foot both Judge and Jury. He says fhat In the adoption of legislation which will Insure tbe speedy trial and.execution of criminals lies tbe 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 be conceded to the culprit who has not granted even one moment to hts helpless victim. ThiB is along the line which the people of this com munity must consider seriously and soberly within tho next few days. Agitation In favor of the establishment of 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 slgnifylug nothing. They are grimly determined as they have never been before that out of this chaos of impassioned protest and muititu- dlnouu suggestions there must come some clear and defi nite plan on which every one can unite—some plan which will absolutely prevent tho continuance of the pres ent demoralization and at the same time maintain the dignity of the taw and the prestige of social order. We are Informed that at an early date a mass meet ing of the representative citizens of this county will be held to devise the best plan of meeting the exlating evils. This purpose cannot be given too cordial commendation and support. The 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 toy solving the grave problem which sur rounds us in this crisis. It Is to be borne In mind that tbe 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 men who meet together In this deliberative assembly 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 reestablishment of the Ku-Klux Kian as outlined and advocated In certain quar ters Is best adapted to tbe situation. The probabilities are all too great that in this great recrudescence of a system found necessary in the daya 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 hqvo defied all the machinery of social order and trampled under foot the forms of 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 ns the Ku-KIux Kian. But, with this word of timely admonition against the pre cipitate ndoptton 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- DINKELSPIEL ON STREET CARS By GEORGE V.

The time for saying merely that something ought to be done is past and the tlmo has come for absolute and emphatic action. The Fonetic Spelling An avalanche of criticism has swept down on the de voted heads of Andrew Carnegie, Brandor Mathews and one Theodore Roosevelt, all of whom have conspired to slaughter the Englleh 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 ho could spell thru with a “u” If he chose "tn," but It would make very little difference to the rest of the world, or even the rest of the depart ments outside of tbe executive. Fulniinatlons from an executive head cannot change the usages of a third of A mlllenlum. The English lan guage has evolved from that crude agglomeration known aa Anglo-Saxon. Norman French and straight-out latlnlsm, brought In by the schoolmen after the dark ages. It hns been a logical process of development, and it cannot be eradicated In a day, even by tho combined wisdom and wealth of Carnegie and Brnnder Maihows. Those who have given this matter passing interest may he pleaaud to read the rules so far furnished for tlje use of tho reformed spcHer: 1. Whon offered a choice between ae and e. choose e. Example: Anesthetic, esthetic^ medieval. 2. If the choice lies botween o and no e In wordB like abridgment, lodgment, ncknowiedgment, 'always omit tho e. 3. Use t In plnco ot cd for the past, or past participle of verbs ending In s. sh or p. Examples: Dipt, drtpt, prest, dlstrest, husht, washt. An astonishing array of high literary authorities from Spencer to I-owell Ip cited tn support of this latter simplification. 4. Stick to ense tn preference to encc when you have choice. Example; Defense, offense, pretense. 5. Don’t doublo the t in coquet, epaulet, clique!, 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 -lse, or -Izo with the x by preference. Example; Catechize, criticize. 9. Whcro 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: Dnlness. 12. In words sometimes s|H>lled with one and some times with a double in, choose the short form. Example: Gram, program. 1.1. In words spelled with oe. or e, choose c. Exam ple: esophagus. 14. Always omit the u front words sometimes spelled with -our. Example: Inltor, rumor. 15. Where yon can get any authority use f in place of ph. Example; Sulfur, fnntasm. 10. In words spelled with a double, use a single r. Ab, bar, pur. - 17. Spell theatre, centre, etc.. In the English way— center, theater, niter, miter. 18. if a word Is s|iclled with s or z in root use the x; as. apprize, surprize. 19. From words spelled with sc- or s- omit the c.

Hobart. “HEART’S CONTENT.” | ELLA WHEELER WILCOX j She Discusses Some Recent Experiments and Their Bearing On the Belief That Animals, as Well as Men Pass Into the Spirit World After Death. , (Copyright, 1908, by .Amerlcan-Jour- nal-EXamlner.) Much has been written of Dr. El mer Gates' experiment with a dying rat, placed In front of a sensitized screen. According to reports (mode by Dr. Ward before an audience in Lon don), Professor Oates found that so long as the rat was olive 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 the same shape van noticed to j,ae«, us it were, out of and beyond the glass tube and vanish os it pasted upward on the sensitized screen.” Science Is creeping along, slowly but surely. In the wake of the psychics, and will eventually corroborate all that the ancient situs unit tno modern the- OSophlsts have del-lured. On page 144 of "The Grent Psycho logical crime” (a book published by the Indo-Anierican Book Co., of Chi cago, In 160Z) occurs the following statement, which is interestingly sim ilar 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 the spir itual body carries with it the animat ing principle of the animal entit)-. ... due course of time, however, the ani mal disappears from the animal spir itual plane.” Life After Death. The author of the book proceeds to stato that the human being who has devolbped ills better 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 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 wilt have to associate with dogs, cats and horses in heaven?" "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 ts the question which troubles you." In the older religions of the world the sacredncss of all life and Its oneness with the Creative Principle are recog-» nlzed; 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, ini which the lower crea tures can have no share. J. Howard Moore, in 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 his moral ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. nature was in advance of ait 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 tho next century this truth Is going to receive unprecedented recognition in all departments of hu man thought." Rider Haggard something less thnn two years ago stated thnt he was post- tlve that he saw- the spiritual body of his dog at the exact moment when (ns It transpired the following day) the dog was dying. A Needed Belief. God would never hnve made so much intelligence, so much affection, so much loyalty and gratitude ns 'exist In ani mals unless Ho Intended these quali fied to continue. The world needs this blllef In tho future life of animals to vitalise and animate its religion into practical expressions of the *Go!den Rule. Man is an animal. A higher animal, to be sure, the highest yet evolved, but still on animal. All other lesser forms of life are his kin. All life is from the Eternal Source, 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 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, whtch 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.” HOUSEHOLD HINTS By WEX JONES.

Tho reaeon for conferring the title will be, it Is said, the gallant ac- tion of his son, John Jacob, lieutenant In the Life Guards, in saving one of Mis troopers from drowning.

Whether the will live In New York or not depends upon the trial of her son, Harry K. Thaw, for the killing of Btandford White. If he is found guilty, she will go abroad nnd muke her home with her daughter, the countess of Yarmouth. Should Harry be declared insane end sent to Matlewean, she will stay here. Her home will be in New York In any event until the fata of her son is de cided.
