The Lesson of the Postal Department. tt a private coriioratlon owned and conducted our mall service, which la also a public commodity, every man, woman and child who writes letters In this country would doubtless be putting on those letters at this day a Scent postage stamp. Every newspaper would probably be paying double the price It Is paying now and our present 2-cent postage atamp would furnish Just about halt the necessary amount to carry a letter from Atlanta to Conyers. But, run by the government for the people and upon the money of the people, the postal department Is one of the finest and most perfect enterprises In the world, carrying letters, papers and packages with phenomenal regularity and at the lowest possible cost to the Individ nal. In Its execution, the postal department has not de veloped Into a great political machine which Is to per petuate the power of the administration already hold ing the reins, but by the rules of the government, the clerks and employees In the postal department are for bidden to show a personal or partisan activity in the government, and the mall service Is not only perfect In Its system but absolutely free from the dangers which are so fiercely predicted by Interested parties as sure to follow upon the establishment of public ownership of public utilities. And the postal department of the government at the low price of Its service pays back In ‘its revenues more than enough to reimburse the government for the splen did facilities which It offers the people. Is there any reason under the sun why the same perfection of system and the same economy of service should not be developed In any other commodity for .the use of the people? Is there any reason why the city of Atlanta owning a gas plant upon which there would be no watered stock, should not be able to furnish gas to Its people at the same cost of production and without the arbitrary Increases necessary to pay dividends and stockholders? Is there any reason why such an enterprise should not be conducted under the same civil service rules aa those which are provided In our national government and which would protect this public Institution from the evils of a political machine? Is there any reason why such an enterprise should not furnish gas to the people of Atlanta at a price as low as cities smaller than Atlanta now furnish gas and lights to their dtlxens? Is there any reason why a municipality which already owns It waterworks and Is every year bringing Its system to greater perfection both of service and economy, should not by the same methods and under the same conditions, own Its gas plant and bring this enterprise to the same perfection of system and economy? There are simply thousands and perhaps millions of dollars to be saved to the Individual taxpayers of Atlanta and to the municipality by simply reaching out Into the country about us and holding up before our civic eyes the object lesson of this same thing which has been done and Is being done by other cities to the happiness, to the comfort and to the Immense saving of the people who live In those cities, This entire proposition Is one of such simplicity and such clear common sense that It Is almost a reflection upon a people so Intelligent as the dtlxens of Atlanta, to waste argument and space to demonstrate the great Interest they each have in taking hold of It. The whole trend of the times Is toward this policy of public owner ship and control of public utilities, and we simply urge upon the Intelligent people of Atlanta to bring this mat- ter home to their Individual minds and Intelligence and to think for themselves. It will not do to permit this great period of public arousement and Individual Interest In public affairs to pass without reaping aomo of the fruits of the progressive spirit which Is a-stlr In this and all other communltlea and atates. The time will come when Intereet In these matters will wane, and when other queatlona will Be skillfully obtruded by designing corporations to cloud these great central Issues which so deeply concern the people’s pockets and the people’s liberty. We only urge upon every citizen and every taxpayer an honest, fearless and common sense consideration of the great question which they have a chance to settle now by a peaceful ballot rather than later by a furious protest and stern denunciation. If these great corporations had been fair and Jnst and reasonable In their demands upon the public pocket, this proteat might not have arisen, but In view of Its magnificent effect and Its magnificent possibilities, we can only realize and believe that providence has made these corporations arbitrary and exacting In order that they might be made to give place to other and greater Institutions In which every citizen la a partner and whose Irregularities, It they exist, can be corrected by every freeman's ballot expressed In Intelligence and In liberty. any commercial and Industrial organization In the stat within a few hours, but such Is not and should not be the idea. It should represent the grateful appreciation and' the far-spread affection of all the people. We feel that there are thousands of men and women and even children in Georgia who would be distinctly disappointed If they were not allowed td contribute something to this fund. Savannah will be In all her glory when the great battleship comes. Her magnificent harbor will be cover ed with a flotilla of pleasure craft and thronged with patriotic visitors from all over the state. Her very name—the name of Savannah—Is synonymous with roy al hospitality and it may be depended upon that she will spread herself on that gala occasion. Atlanta will, of course, be there In full force and will enjoy the festival to the fullest extent. There are comparatively but a few weeks In which to raise the necessary popular fund for the proposed pur pose and It la time for the morement to take on zopie definite form. The people will do their part freely and willingly and none of the battleships that float the will have a more magnificent service than that of the Georgia. Who Is the Spokesman ? Who la the authorized spokesman for the Re publican administration? Upon this question depends. In a large measure, our knowledge of what la to be the dominant Issue in the next presidential campaign. A few days ago Secretary Taft made a speech up In Maine In which he declared that the policy of the Repub lican party would be to make some, necessary revisions of the tariff. He seemed glad of an opportunity to fore stall any utterances the Democrats might make on the subject of revision by giving the country to understand that the protected Industries had been getting something more than their share of late years and that this nursery of the trusts would be disciplined. But these utterances had hardly gone forth to the country before Secretary Bonaparte came out In a care fully prepared Interview In which be stated that no one In'his senses expected the next congress to do anything toward revising the tariff. He said that the Indorsement of President Roosevelt was the real Issue In the cam paign and that there was no possible room for any other. Well, maybe so, and not so. We all have our own Ideas as to how that may be, but In the meantime we would like to know, and the country at large would like to know, who Is the recog nized spokesman of the administration. There has been a general Impression for a long time that Secretary Taft had the ear and the confidence of the president more than any other man In the cabinet. In hia speeches In Ohio he was generally regarded as expressing the views of the president himself. Secretary Bonaparte Is a very excellent and attrac tive man and no donbt the president thinks a whole lot of him, but the great question which Is now disturbing the public mind Is whether, he has supplanted Secretary Taft In the good graces of Mr. Roosevelt to the extent that what he may say has more of the stamp of author ity than what the stout gentleman from Ohio may de clare. There Is no reason on earth why there should not be a revision of the tariff. The cry of "plutocracy" and trusts,” which Mr. Bonaparte regards as the "gabble of demagogues," has become trite. It Is true, but the cry Is as vital and calls as loudly for a remedy as ever before, and this question will not be settled until tt Is settled right. Mr. Bonaparte says the question Is whether wo will give the president a congress which will support him In what be wants to do or one which will oppose all his good Intentions. The fact of (be matter Is that he has stolen so much Democratic thunder that a Democratic congress would probably be willing to do much more along the same line than he Intends to do himself, and It would have the merit of coming from the party which has championed these reforms for a hundred years. ■ Who Is the "voice?”—Bonaparte or Taft? A Gold Service for Our Battleship. The project for raising a fund to provide a gold ser vice for the battleship Georgia, which will be commission ed In Georgia waters during next month or the month After, will meet the prompt and hearty approval and sup port of the people of this state. Nothing short of the gold, mined from our own red old hills, should be good enough and patriotic enough as a donation to the ofBrers of this magnificent fighting machine, which was named In honor of the Empire State of the South by the late President McKinley, and the further proposition to have It rest upon a marble table, the material for which shall be quarried from the bosom of the state, Is an excellent Idea also. Georgia Is proud of this battleship, not only because it Is one of the most perfect fighting machines ever con structed and an honor to the American navy, but be cause of the sentiment which attaches to It from the fact that the name of Georgia was chosen for tt by the mar tyred president, of his own accord, after one of his visits to nor state and people. It would be an easy matter, as pointed out by the gentlemen quoted in yesterday's Georgian, to raise the necessary sum from one or two men of'wealth or from The Merit System in the Water Board. Atlanta, Ga.. September 7, 1906. To the Editor of The Georgian: I notice in The Georgian of yesterday the ac count of the recent meeting of the water board, and the failure to elect a secretary to succeed Mr. W. H Dlmmock, deceased. Permit me to say, aa an humbts clUxen, and a formet employee In the water office, that 1 believe, if the water board la to got the best work, and the moet efficient service for the public, that tho men who compose the working force In thnt department ought to be encouraged by pro.motlon to better po sitions with better salaries, whore years of constant labor and effort lit mon for a promotion. If good results are obtained In other depart ments by rewarding men for honest effort, why not In the water department? Is It possible that of the several men who have served tho city a doten years In thnt department, not one Is qualified to suc ceed to a position where experience should lit him to servo the department and the public allko with satisfaction? Offer the boys something to work for, and look forward to, by adopting a policy of promotion where the service Justifies It, and bettor results will ob tain. Trusting that this suggestion will not be con sidered out of place, as I rendered several years of service to the city In that department. I beg to re main yours very respectfully. A. ERNEST. Care Gate City Coffin Company. With the personal phase In this communication, The Oeorgtan has nothing whatever to do. We have no can- dtdate to offer for the position to be filled, and none other than a general civic Interest In the matter. But In the general principle which Is advocated here, we have long been, and are now, profoundly Interested. There Is no sounder principle In business, public or private, than the promotion of worthy servants from the lower to the higher ranks of any public enterprise. Promotion upon merit furnishes the Inspiration to faithful service and to higher endeavor. The hope of reward Influences more people than the fear of punish ment, and the best results In all business ranks have been obtained by offering to each employee the hope and prospect of a promotion to another and higher position Just beyond him This principle Is the basis of Inspiration In the army and navy of the United States. It Is the principle which the government has crystallised into a distinct policy In the civil service rules. It Is the policy employed by the largest and greatest business houses of the land. It the policy which The Georgian has advocated with unbroken earnestness In Its application to the educa tional Interests of the state, and the earnest and consis tent advocacy of t|)ls paper along this line has obrne Its part ki the recent selections of* noble teachers to the ex ecutive responsibilities of our great educational institu tions, the one as chancellor of the University of Georgia, and the other as the president of the Technological school. We are quite confident that the contention of Mr. Ernest will meet the approval of thoughtful men and good dtlsens everywhere, and that without regard to persons or to Individual rewards, the public service of the city as of the state, can best be furthered by put ting a premium upon the faithful servants of our public enterprises in Just promotions aa their merits and ser vices may permit. Growth and Progress of the New South Oadff f/ifa hrnrt will nppunr from time to t/m«? Information Illustrating tlj* remarkable derelopmeut of the South which deserres something more than pa*«* lag attention. Northern Colonies For the South. We are told that the fascination of city life baa a great deal to do with the tact that Immigrants will not come South to better their con dition. They prefer to continue In poverty In the more congested centers rather than make the bold plunge of moving down here and engaging In agricultural pursuits. This fact has generally been recognised, and no. systematic effort has besn made to overcame the difficulty, but according to an article publish ed In The Southern Investor, of New York, edited by David Robinson, formerly of this state, there is one man In New York city who thinks he can solve the problem. Mr. J. B. Flnster has been making the whole matter a study and has a plan which with a reasonable amount of capital can be made successful and of great bens lit to the South. He proposes to purchase SOO acres of good farm lands and sub-divide It Into 6-acre plots, build a cottage on each and rent for a sum equal to what they will pay to.- a fiat In one of the crowded tenement houses In the city. He will bring the families from the large cities and place them on the farm; let the head qf the family work on the farm and the children work In the cotton mills. Where the difficulty lies, says Mr. Flnster, Is In not trying to make the environments aa near as possible to the city life. There are many hun dreds of families In the large cities who would be glad to try agricultural pursuits in a small way, but are afraid to make the venture. Perhaps they have a few hundred dollars of hard-earned money saved up, and to make the purchase of a farm to try their hand at farming is too much of a risk for them, but if they knew they could rent such a place, and besides have a small weekly Income from the earnings of their children In the mills they would be glad of the opportunity. Mr. Flnster proposes to have an expert agriculturist teach the head of the family how to cultivate for profit. For Instance, he will have a tew of the forms - made Into chicken ranches, which will have up-to-date houses and all modern Improvements for the successful raising of chickens on a scale that will pay. Also the squab, duck and other Industries of a similar nature. Some of the settlera will be taught specialties In truck farming. In othar words. It will be on the order of an agricultural school, and they will be made to realize that their Interests art the paramount Issue. Besides It will be an object lesson for the Southern farmer, who has for many years grown one crop, say cot ton or tobacco, Instead of diversifying his crops, growing everything be absolutely needs and becoming in the end self-sustaining and Independent. The fourth Sunday In September will be devoted by the Methodist ministers of Atlanta to an appeal In behalf of the Decatur Orphans' Home. The cause of the home was set before them by Major R. J. Guinn at a meeting Monday morn ing at the Wesley Memorial church. He told them of the need of the home for a new building to accommodate the glrla comfortably and asked that the Atlanta churches arrange to give the proceeds of the annual “work day,” September 29, toward the erection of this building. * By every Methodist pastor devoting his fourth Sunday sermon to the cause It Is expected that the proceeds at this work day, when the earnings of the day will be given for the work by every one so Inclined, which will be taken in the collections on the following Sunday, will he more than enough to complete the fund for the erection of the At lanta cottage. Rev. H. L. Crumley, superintendent of the school, stated that he had cared for over 400 Atlanta children In the Institution. He said that the girl's dormitories were badly crowded and that the new building was an absolute necessity. “Work day” Is observed by the Meth odist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Hebrew and other religious organizations an nually, the proceeds going to some charitable work. NOOKS AND CORNERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY THOMAS DONGAN By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. In the whole annati of our country there are to be found but few finer names than that of Thomas Dongan, James Stuart's goveraor of the prov ince of New York from 1682 to 1688. Coming to the governorship of Amer ica's greatest province In the prime of Ilfs, Dongan applied hlmaelf heart, mind and soul to the conscientious performance of the high duties that fell upon him. A statesman by Instinct, Dongan saw at a glance the supreme Importance, from the political point of view, of the valley of the Hudson. If that valley should be dominated by the French, tha wedge would be driven In between New England and Maryland and Virginia, and It would be all over with English rule In America. To prevent this Dongan brought his diplomacy to bear upon the Iroquois Indians. He knew thnt If he could make himself solid with that powerful tribe he could checkmate the designs of Louis XIV and preserve the integri ty of the English possessions. He succeeded, and when the great Frontenac came out to drive In the "wedge” he found In hla path tho ter rible red men. who had been won over by the tact of Dongan. No lese a man than John Flake calls tha friendship of the Iroquois with the English the “pivotal fact" In Amer ican history; and for such fact no small thanks are due to Governor Dongan. Dongan was also the Instrument through which was effected the bring ing together of the first representative assembly In the province of New York. This ever-memorable assembly, con sisting of the governor, the counsellors and eighteen representatives elected by the people, met In the city of New York on the 17th day of October, 1881. Such was the practical beginning of free representative government In the province, that historic assembly being the head waters of the splendid liberty that Is today enjoyed by all New Yorkers. In an age of Intense sectarianism and .bitter religious prejudices Dongan managed to keep as sweet and amiable as could be, and when he took oft the robe of office no one could say that the governor had treated him unkindly or unfairly on account of a difference of religious opinion. It is a pleasant page of our country's history that tells of the administration of Governor Thomas Dongan; and with the whole story of the man's life It would well repay our people to be come thoroughly and lovingly familiar. By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. (Copyright, 1906, by American-Jour nal-Examlner.) What the walls and ceilings of a room arc to the effectiveness of Its furniture, the complexion of a woman Is to the effect of her features. A beautiful tone of walls often makes an otherwise commonplace room seem attractive. The women of Holland possess this beautiful tone of complexion almost universally. Irrespective of class, con dition or age. Such astonishing splen dor of bloom 1 have never seen else where. The tints range from pinks to peonies, with all the delicate shadings of colors between. There Is a pretty habit here of set ting boxes of flowers along all the tipper balconies, so that one who walks the streets lifts his eyes to behold rows of blossoms as far as he cun " e ?iut Just as wonderful a eight Is spread for his level vision In the cheeks of the girls and the women, young and mtddle-aged, who promenade the side walks, ride In the trams, or drive In carriages. Everywhere we look there Is a rose growing on a woman's cheek. And not only on the woman's cheek, but on the cheeks of boys and young men. Nor Is It the common bloom that eon be slightingly termed "a red face” by any pallid visitor, masking envy under the name of "criticism.” . It Is a color so exquisitely applied by nature's brush aa to look at flrst glance artificial. The nose, the brow, the cir cle about the mouth, the pretty de pression In front of the ear, are all milk-white: only the cheek, the tip of the ear, and sometimes the tip of the chin, glow with color. Mothers of rosy children are rosier than their babes, and the grandmothers are only shade less blooming. I have seen three generations sitting side by side, looking like a bud, a full blown rose and a rose whose outer leaves were Just touched with decay. The only place passengers on the tram cars aro allowed to stand In Hol land Is on the outer platform. During the busy hours of the trolley the plat form of every car looks like a window box with Its flower faces of young omen and young men banked togeth- But with complexion their beauty oft en begins and ends. The features of the women are rarely beautiful. The lips arc Inclined to thickness, and lack curves. I have not seen one Cupid’s bow mouth on a Holland girl's face. The nose lacks delicacy, and the eyes lack depth. The whole face lacks emo tion. The whole woman lacks temper ament. , . . But to return to that wonderful, dax- xllng and permanent bloom. What can be the cause of It? That Is the ques tion I have been asking myself day after day, In Rotterdam, In Dordrecht. The Hague. In Bchevenlngue, In Am sterdam. It Is not because these people are all blond, for they are not. Every shade of color of hair and eyes Is found among them. Golden, tttlan, auburn, "strawberry" and “carrot" blondes are here; and there are all shadea of brown hair, down to the coal black. There are blue, gray, brown and black eyes. But with every combina tion, eight women out of every ten flaunt the glorious rose of Holland on their cheeks. It Is most beautiful to see. And It. Is a severe blow to the food faddists, of which 1 am one. I have always contended that com plexion, after early youth at least, was greatly a matter of selection of food. So I have watched the diet of these people, In each city mentioned, at ho tels, restaurants and seashore resorts. Alas! and alas! for the theorlea I brought across the seas! They all cat fried things, heavy with grease. They devour sweets. They consume starchy atuffs enough to run a laundry. They drink ten and coffee strong enough to float a licet. And they Indulge In beer nnd German wines. I saw n walking rose, wearing _ gown, sit down to n breakfast of bo logna sausages, cjieese and strong black tea! I would have given her three years to sink Into attenuation and pal lor, or fat sallowness, had not her mother sat beside her, who hail no doubt breakfasted on a similar food twenty years longer, and still rivaled any New York debutante In complex ion The climate is said by many people to be the cause of this color. It is damp and cool. But I have been In other places where there was dampness nnd freshness of atmosphere and never have seen such uniformity of lasting radiance of complexion as here In Hol land. So we must look deeper than mere climate for the explanation. We will give that Its due and pass on. Children are popular and plenty In Holland. Men consider a barren wife an evil to be avoided. So strong are their Ideas on this subject that morality Is often put aside, while honor Is main tained, In making a girl a wife after she has proven her ability to be mother. This, of course, Is among the poorer—the peasant—classes. The working people produce the most children. Here, as with us, and every where In the world, luxury and leisure lessen the slxe of families. But there seems to be no race suicide here, aa in France and America—no effort to thwart nature. Then again the waists of the girls and women have net been restrained. The natural tendency of the Dutch fig ure is not to curves, but the square ness. It ran not be called pretty: bit no Inducement has been offered to force Its compliance with fashton’a laws. Again, the Dutch woman Is, without question, utterly devoid of that subtle quality known aa temperament. She ta not emotional. I have yet to see one evidence of coquettishness. even, on her part. She does not use her complexion. She simply accepts It. She does not appreciate It because every body has It, perhaps. Hut if she were less phlegmatic, she would learn early how beautiful It Is. and this knowledge would eventually lead to Its loss. She would live, but her bloom would die. As It Is, her bloom llvss on. nnd she leads a gentle and phlegmatic existence. And there Is still another reason why WORK DAY PROCEEDS FOR DECATUR ORPHANS GOSSIP! PEOPLE OF BOSTON, GA., T LOWER RATES Freight rate discriminations still ex ist In this state. It the petition of cer tain parties In south Georgia can be sustained before the railroad commis sion. Citizens of the town of Boston, In south Georgia, claim that they are the victims of freight rate discriminations and have filed their complaint with the state railroad commission, and this matter will be taken up by that body at Its regular monthly meeting Wed nesday. The merchants there wish to enjoy tho same freight rates granted to two of their neighbors, the cttles of Thom- asvllle and Quitman, skirting either side of that progressive little burg. The complaint of the north Georgia mafblemen that Vermont marble can be shipped as cheaply to certain points In the state as the Georgia product, mention of which has been made In The Georgian, will also come up at this meeting.
