WHY HAVEN'T THE PEOPLE BEEN ALLOWED TO VOTE ON THIS? The question of the abolition of the fee ey.tem fur paying certain coun ty officials, such as the sheriff, the ordinary, tho clerk of the court and the solicitors or prosecuting attorneys, Is so one-sided that debate Is‘useless. There Is no argument, except against the system. Tet the plan has remained In vogue In Georgia alnce the beginning of county organisation, and will remain until the tax payers awaken and real ize that by not abolishing It they are robbing themselves. The county of Fulton has been giving away from MO,000 to $75,000 a year by maintaining the system. As Atlanta grows this criminal gratuity will Increase urtMl It reaches enormous proportions. The grand Jury, In Its presentments, makes tho charge that during re cent years the county executive committees have declined <o Submit to the people the question of abolishing the fee system. Why has the county executive committee failed to submit this question? Is it. that the putative "court house ring" (of which there has been gos sip) really exists and has had Influence with the county executive commit ted? _ The time for action has not yet arrived. » i ' But The Georgian makes tills promise to the tax payers: The Georgian Intends to see If It cinnot force the county executive com. mtttee to put this question to the people for vote. The days of the fee system are numbered. OUR PLATFORM.-The Georgian stsnds for Atlanta's owning Its owu gas end electric light piante, as It now — lterworka.

Tltls Is the season when the English, map would say, "It's a lovely day; let's go out and kill something." The first of November marks a great many periods, but It Impresses Itself on , the greatest number of minds, perhaps, as being the beginning of the open spa- son, when th* drumming of the quail In the towground Is an Invitation to the eager hunter and fils equally eager dog. ! Horse rating may he the sport of kings, but to follow the big dog with gun and bag over the fallow fields, dotted with bare persimmon trees, and down Into the hollow* where the quail lovt to feed, Is essentially the gport of the average gentleman. The busy man who for months has been poring over desks and ledgers, glancing, at the calendar to see when a note or account Is due. Involuntarily ■quint* toward the flat of November. It is not printed In red. True, It Is AlwBatots day, and as such occupies a conspicuous position among the festl vala of the church. But It has no ecclesiastical jjgnlfl canoe for that man of tho ledger who Is ‘like a hound that hunts In dreams." Acro**-the columns pf multiplied fig ures qjt visions of the day when the air Is^rlsp and the skies are clear and tbe blood goes tingling through the yuan at thought of a day's sport In the open fields. In the excitement of tlia chase lies not only the .pleasure which sportsmen alone can know, but the glow of health which lingers when the outing Is over and the hum of the city, with Imperious Insistence de tnsnds that the Nimrod must become tbe simple city gentleman once again. The man who does not love a dog Is unfit for companionship with his tel* low-man. and there ts no time nor sea son when the association between the maawr and the humblo exponent of fidelity becomes more close. The lap dog at the fire, that spotted nament, the coach dog, the toy terrier and the pug become con temptible and we watch the shaggy 'better, with hie keen nose to the ground, or the pointer, with uplifted foot, trained to almost human Intelli gence not to flush the covey and yet to Indicate their location, with unerring precision. The ties that bind the hunt er add his dog are of that sacred and subtle texture which only companion- ehlp In solitude can knit. Kyery hunter l£ like the Homeric hero and bis every devoted Held dog a faithful Argos. The gourmet will delight to find that the menu for several Inonth* hence win contain quail on /toast. Perhaps as "young owl," the same delicacy may figure tbsre far Into the closed season. Bnt no epicure beneath the sun will ever have the keen enjoyment of the hunter who goes out this morning. In the November fields, to bring down the bird which furnished forth his feast. British News Accuracy. A copy of Tbe Blrmlnghatj) (Eng land) Weekly Post for September 59 liss Just reached our desk. In It we mid a rather wild and woolly account uf what la termed the “American Negro Pogrom,” In which appears the follow ing paragraph: ••An apoetle of lynching, John Temple glares, has been disgracing the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia by . most dally appeals tor mob murder. For the killing of every negro accused -t sn assault on a white woman one newspaper offered 11,900 ( 299 pounds) reward.” The cable that carried that over roust Lave been twisted. NO BEPLY FROM PRESIDENT JORDAN. The Hon. Harris Jordan has again spoken, and once again he has in bis speech Ignored the charges made against him by the Hon.’ C, S. Bar rett, president of the National Farmers' Union. The reply of the president of the Southern Cotton Association Is an attack on The Atlanta Constitution. It Is not the purpose of Tho Georgian to fly to the assistance of The Constitution. The Constitution Is doubtless able to fight Its own battles. Nor Is U the purpose of The Georgian to engage In petit or grand per secution of the Hon. Harvle Jordan or the Southern Cotton Association. But The Georgian must again ask the Hon. Harvle Jordan to make some reply to tho allegations against him by the president of the National Farmers' Union.' These allegations wero serious In nature. Ujriest disproved, they will do great Injury to the Southern Cotton As sociation and Its cause. And unless they are answered by the Hon. Harvle Jordon they will, In the minds of thousands uf people, eland Justified by silence. Mr. Jordan should realise that he t^oubl be but doing his duty to the organization he heads by making answer to the allegation that he hail 1 formed an unholy and notorious alliance of Joe Hoadley, a Wall street < gambler. The only reply President Jordan made to President Barrett was: "You're another." The only reply Preeldent' Jordan made to The Constitution was: "You’re another.” Tu quoque arguments convince nobody, and the farmer* of the 8outh are looking to President Jordan to answer fully, completely and satisfactorily the charges against him. If he does not, he will become a burden that will exhaust the Southern Cotton Association and render It useless. The Ban on Obesity Pills. Every roan will commend so much of that paternalism Jn the United States government which seeks to protect the general public against the various and variegated frauds which walk In dark ness and destroy at noonday. On* of tbs most popular (anna of these frauds consists of patent mcdl cljteo - which are ."guaranteed" to cure everything-' from housemaid's knee to the Itch for office. They are embln- xoned In flaming ndvertlaements on ev ery blank epace from the slant roof of a country bam to the bald summit of Pike's Peak: they constitute the chief source of revenue to such newspapers will take them, which Is by far the great majority. If republics are ungrateful, the peo ple should at least be grateful to the republic which, through the medium of the United States mall, sees to save them from these medicated lies, as well as from themselves. And a happy Instartce has Just come to light, Postmaster General Cortelyou, who Is no longer busy counting the money tn the Republican contribution box, has Issued a fraud order against ohe- slty pills—at least those of a certain brand Issued from Washington Itself. There are a great many considera tions why this course Is wise and Just, In the first place, why should any one object to being fat? Were ^hey not the kind of people whom great Caesar admired—the big, hearty fellows, such slept o’ nights? The lean and hun gry Cassius was constitutionally an enemy to the state. We know In our own experience that the fat men and women are the good- natured ones. Did any boy ever have a grandmother, who fed him on sur reptitious pies, who was not fat? Both men and women, it Is the fat ones who Indulge In perpetual good nature and In hearty laughter, holding both their Blflee. But If they must reduce their flesh there are so many better means than by employing obesity pills. Exercise Is one of tbe most approved forms of accomplishing this end. If it Is a man, he might run for office. We know of no kind of sprinting which Is better calculated to deprive a man of fieelt, conscience and self esteem. It he weighed In at a ton he would come out In the featherweight class.' No obesity pills for him. Perhaps a better, and certainly a more honorable method still would be to plow and hoe, to reap and to sow, like the farmer's boy In the song. He would be yielding something to the general store, while substituting muscle for fatly degeneration. When they be come more of a producer and less of a consumer they naturally would not be so fut. They might take an ax and imitate the Immortal example of the Grand Old Man by chopping down trees. It Is u useful and an exhilarating occupation. which two blades of grass may grow where but one grew before. In short, there are a hundred natural methods by which obesity may be re duced, aside from obesity pills—which In fact don't reduce at all. We are grateful to Mr. Cortelyou, He has done a great many things to com mend him tq our admiration, but noth ing which appeals to us more strongly than that he has barred advertisements of obesity pills from the malls. excuse Is offered, sometimes another. The reasons advanced dqn't matter so much since th6 annual effect Is the same—a practical doubling of summer prices. This year the burden has come ear lier than usual. ' La$t winter It was much later before the maximum of $5.50 for grate coal was fixed. If the game has started this early, consumers may expect further advances when winter gets down to business. Dealers advance a combination of reasons for this raise. One ts that the Southern railway Is bringing little coal Into the city and congestion of traffic on alt lines has served to add dlfficul ties to the dealers' getting their coal Into the yards. Another reason ad vanced Is scarcity of labor, both at the mines and locally, Ths local labor problem serves as a reason for advancing charges for stor ing coal In the bins of purchasers ft'om 25 to 59 cents a ton. Signs of further advances are apparent In the statement that unless there Is Immediate relief in the labor problem at the mines, pro ducers will have to raise prices again. That means the consumers pay finally. The small percentage of people able to buy the winter's supply of coal In summer at $4 to $4.60 a ton can afford to look on the situation complacently, but to the masses who must buy a ton, a half ton, a quarter of a ton at a time, the burden falls heavily. Probably the producer, the railroads and the dealers can all Justify them selves, but the suspicion will linger that the regularity with which these boostings of coal prices come hang as easily on one plausible excuse aa an other.

SAM SHUBER7, WAS WORTH $25,000 TO HIS PARENTS New York, Nov. 2.—A verdict of $23,- year before his death, having sent home 000 damages for the death of Sam S. Bhubert, the theatrical manager, was returned against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company by a Jury In tho United States circuit court before Judge Holt. The plaintiffs were Da vid and Catherine Shubert, parents of the dead man. It Is understood that a new trial will be asked. The damages asked for were $100,- 000. The railroad company admitted Its neglect and liability for Shubert's death. The only question to be deter mined was the pecuniary damage suf fered by his parents. It was brought out that Shpbert had made $98,000 the Publicity in Divorce. Of more than ordinary Interest at the moment when tho heuds of the police department are threatening to censor police news comes the report of the committee on resolutions of tho Inter state Association for Promoting Uni form Divorce Laws. This report Is a draft of a statute which trill be submitted to the conven tion of the association In Philadelphia next month. If approved, the assocla tlon will endeavor to have the statute prevail throughout the United States. One of the most Important features of the proposed statute Is that hearings and trials shall be before tho court (as distinguished from a referee) and shall in all easts bt public.” This Is to prevail even If the petition for dl. vorce be opposed or not. In short, the crusaders seeking to Im prove a social evil look upon the se curing of absolute publicity of divorce proceedings as one of,the greateet re forms to be accomplished. There are objections to publicity In such cases. Often Innocent parties to a divorce suit are brought Into a no toriety that Is painful. And not In frequently newspapers which roll scan dals on their tongues as delicious mor sels work against the moral welfare of a community by sensational Ytnd sala cious reports. But complete publicity divorce proceedings will have the tendency to .prevent attempts at hideous frauds and perversions of the law. Collusive suits and Ihe chlcunery of corruption which arc not obvious In the written deposi tions taken before a referee are likely to be laid bare In the light of open court proceedings. Those earnest and Intelligent men and women who are fighting to right existing wrongs look upon publicity as their chlefest battle to be won. MATTHEW CALBRAITH PERRY. One of America's darling names Is that of Oliver Hazard Terry, "Hero of Lake Erie." ' Btlt a very mucli bigger man In every war was Oliver’s brother, Matthew Culbrnith Perry, of whom tlic world has learned but little, und to whose wonderful exploit, the rank and file of the American people seen: to be blissfully Indifferent. Matthew I'nlbralth Perry, brother of the man who so gloriously ticked the British on Lake Erie, was born April 10, 1794. at Newport, R. I. On the paternal sldo he came of Devonshire stock, and on the mRtemai of the Scotch-lrish blood, which has contributed so much to the glory and honor of our republic. From March, 1809, when at the age of 15 he began Ills first cruise as tnld- shlpment aboard tho Revenger, down to his death In New York In March, 1858, Perry's record was noted for his faithfulness to duty and devotion to country. Here are some of the things that Perry has written down to Ids credit: 1. While yet n mere lad he was nn efficient naval officer In tho war of 1812. 2. He chose the location of the first free black settlement In Liberia. 3. He was the father of our steam navy. 4. He first demonstrated the effi ciency of the ram aa a weapon of of fense in naval warfare. 5. He founded the naval apprentice $11,500 each year tor the support of his father and mother for several years prior. The testimony detailed the business life of Sam Shubert, with Ids rise from a newsboy to a manager, with twenjy theaters and twelve shows. He was on the train that ran Into freight at Harrisburg. Pa.. May 10; was taken from Ids Pullman berth, badly mangled, and died trom Ida wounds In a hospital the next day. David Belaseo testified that Shubert was a genius, not only In business acument, but In dramatic Judgment and taste and In his general knowledge of both the artistic and the commercial side of theaters.

Nov. 2.—The sur. geons 111 the Slate Hospital for 111e In- sane Jiere are Immensely Interested In the case of Edward Green, of Monroe. The young man was re-admitted to the hospltul recently and the surgeons found he was suffering from appen dicitis. They operated on him and were astounded at their discovery. Green’s vermiform appendix was greatly Inflamed. Within Its pouch was an Iron boll, five Inches long, with a head commensurate with Its length. The Inflammation had spread and It Is doubtful if the operation will save Green's life. He has a mania for swallowing small metal articles. WIDOW OF RUSSELL SAGE DOUBLES SALARY OF CLERKS New York, Nov. 2.—Mrs. Russell Sage has doubled the salaries of the clerks employed In the late Russell Sage's office In the Bank of Commerce building. The Increase affected five clerks, nono of whom was mentioned in Mr. Sage's will. Each of the clerks will receive his customary salary, and, In addition, an equal amount from Mrs. Sage Individually. The increase does not affect W. 8. Osborne, Mr. Sage's cashier and confi dential secretary, who ts one of the executors of the will. PURSUIT OF PLEASURE AND ITS SELFISHNESS Cold Gomel—Coal Rises. Every home In Atlanta will have forcibly brought to mind the effects of the scarcity of labor today, when the price of coal Is raised at one stroke one dollar a ton. That Is something that directly oon- •erns every home In the city. It falls especially hard upon the poor that must buy Its fuel In smull lots. They will pay not $6.50 n ton. but :u the rate of $8 or $9. Atlanta 1s familiar with this annual boosting of prices. Until cold weather ship system. 6. He was an active Instrument In the extirpation of tho foreign slave trade on tho const of Africa. 7. He did ns much ns any other man toward deckling the result of the Mex ican war. 8. He crowned his grand life work by opening Japan to the world, which fact alone, In the light ot recent events, Is enough to make him one of the most Illustrious of the sons of men. sample of the man's make-up we have but to refer to an Incident of the siege of Vera Cruz. The siege promised to be a long one, and In his despair General Scott called on Commodore Perry, then in com mand of our fleet In the Gulf of Mexico, to lend him a set of heavy naval guns with which to knock down the city walls. With the request came the Inti mation that the guns would be manned by Scott’s own artillerists. To the request Perry sent the laconic reply: "Certainly, general, but I must fight them." And he did fight them—with such effect that In a very little while breach was tnudo In the wall wide enough for tho American army to march through to glorious victory. And yet when General Scott cnine to write his autobiography he did not'so much as refer to the naval battery nor mention the name of Commodore Perry. Such Is the dependence that Is to be put upon history! But It was not until after Porry'i splendid service In the Mexican wm that he began to make ready for the grandest work of his life. While living at Tarrylown, X. Y„ after his return front the land uf the Montcxumas, Perry did a great deal of thinking about Japan ami its senseless Isolation. He tried to Interest Daniel Webster In his darling Idea with regard to Jit pan, hut, as secretary of state, Webster was too busy to pay much attention to hint. But Perry, nothing discouraged by Websier's Indifference, kept at Ills project, until finally he found himself at the head ,of an exiiedltlon for the Island Empire. Beaching Japan In the year 1853, Perry delivered to the reigning authori ties a letter from the president of the United States expressing the good wishes of this country toward Japan and our ardent desire to render that country such services as might be at our command. Having broken the Ice. ns it were. Perry departed, but returned the next spring, and on the Slat day of March. 1S54, signed with tho Japanese author), ties a treaty of "peace, amity and pro tection." That was the beginning of what may be termed modern Japan—the Japan th.it the w.irlit knitus—llt- lahsn wtuu- By MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN. (Copyright, 1906, by Amerlcan-Jour- nat-Exumlner.) Nothing can bring less happiness than the ceaseless pursuit of pleasure, and yet one Is constantly confronted by Individuals whose sole aim In lire Is the gratification of their own wishes. They do nothing that does not promise realization of the desires of their sel fish natures. Some take Infinite pleasure In amass. Ing fortunes; their possessions con sume their affections and their thoughts, and they become recluses from society lest they may be called upon to bear some of Its burdens, others devote all their time to Indul gence In eating and drinking In vain attempts to be happy. Many more Imagine that pleasure Is to be found In participation In all manner of amusements and diversions from the serious things of life. They lose sight of the fact that the frivolous anti gay have no such thing as real pleasure to distribute: momentary delight Is all that actors In the lighter roles can promise. It Is only a question of time when the pleasure-seeker becomes satiated with the fruits of his mean ambitions. Rarest wines, the most delicate*of viands, lose their flavor. The glare of footlights hurts tho eye. The ribaldry of boon companions soon begins to Ir ritate. If not Infuriate, overwrought passions. The soulless creatures who for a while engrossed their fancies become Ihe "bete noire" of their exist ence; Jealousy nnd ofltlmes murder ending thetr Illicit entanglements, though they may have been legalised by a marriage ceremony. Profligacy pnd dissipation bear but one kind of fruit—wretchedness and desperation. No physical constitution can long endure the ravages of a reck less life, nor can any mind, however brilliant ami vigorous, withstand the excitement that Invariably attends a life of Immorality. God never intended that hi* creatures should live for themselves alone: It Is expected that our God-given gifts should be employed In some noble way for the uplifting of mankind and the betterment of the world: hence it Is written. "He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity, and with the rod of his anger he shall be consumed,"—Prov erbs 20:8, And, again, "They that plow Iniquity and sow wickedness reap the same."—Job 4:8. Nothing Is more dearly set forth In the Book ef Books than that every human being ts re sponsible for the talents he hath. The saddest reflection upon such misspent lives Is the fact that there Is not one of this class who has not some one who Is attached to him by the ties of nature and who suffers all tho agon ies of outraged r.aturo on account of the follies and recklessness of the self- indulgent pursuer of what ts misnamed pleasure. It would be folly to undertake to ac count for the perversity of human na ture. There Is no theory upon which one can explain the Innate depravity of the well-born who abandon all pretense of self-respect and decency and de scend to the level of the lowest, most Ignorant, bestial and Irresponsible of beings, and with perfect abandon fol low their vicious* Instincts until, by tragedy or accident, their careers are ended. Who besides themselves are re sponsible for such travesties on the hu man species? I have sometimes thought that there was more work for missionaries In the home field than could ever be done. If persons In this enlightened country could be Induced to abandon their wanton, selfish habits anil to lead a moral, rational. If not righteous life. It would contribute far more to the sal vation of the world than can ever be accomplished by trying to convert the heathen In foreign lands. TO SERVE LIFE SENTENCE FOR SMOTHERING CHILD. Special to The Georglsn. Jacson, Miss., Nov. 2.—The first white woman to be sent to the peniten tiary In the past five years Is Mrs. Stewart, fihe gets a life term for hav ing murdered her child by smothering, ft. Up to two years ago there was a white woman In the penitentiary for the same offense, Mrs. Mary Wilkin son, from Pie county, but she served about seven years and waa pardoned. The prison board has received notice of the conviction of Mrs. Stewart. She will be the only white woman In the penitentiary and things will be mighty lonesome for her. It Is probable that she will be put on one of the prison farms, probably In the hospital at Oak ley. BY CHOI.LY KNICKERBOCKER. New York.
