DON’T FORGET THE TECH.
The appeal for help for the Tech xeliwl should not be allowed to go
unanswered by Atlantans.
The need Is great and just. A little money will remove that need.
The Technological school Is doing a great deal of good for the South
In educating her sons to work that makes for the individual welfare and for
tHte welfare of the section. These young men who are graduated from that
Institution are going right ahead, aiding in tho development of the resources
of our section. By the alchemy of their applied knowledge they are turning
tho streams Into horse-power; they are turning the soil Into gold.
But aside from those considerations, wo may consider the one that af
fects its of Atlanta most. The Georgia School of Technology means thou
sands of dollars spent right here in Atlanta every year, which otherwise
would he spent elsewhere. The institution Is a valuable asset to our busi
ness interests. Its five hundred-odd students buy their food and their
dollies right here In Atlanta. Any help given the Institution toward Its ox
panslon Is Just so much money Invested which Is certain to bring Its ow
return.

London’, Waterloo.
Kvsry now and then—just nliout as
often, In fact, as some crank comes
forward with a new theory as to who
wrote Shakespeare—the literary world
Is shaken from center to circumfer
ence with a charge of plagiarism
against some well known writer.
The latest victim of the “deadly
parallel"—they are always called dead
ly—is the urbane and debonair Jack
Ixmdon. He Is declared lo be guilty
of swiping his latest novel, which
bears the Irreverent and heretical title
of "Before Adam”—for what men
could there have been, pray, before
our Brat, only and original Adam?—
from Stanley Waterloo's "Story of
Ab."
Mr. Waterloo, whose patronymic
may be regarded as Blgnlltcant In the
case, wrote about his Ab nearly ten
year* ago. The book didn't have
any great sale, but it attracted a good
deal of attention among the literati
aad other learned folk. It was ex
ceptionally well written and dealt
with the hypothetical subject of pre
historic man In what was then
thought a right unique manner.
It Isn't unique any longer, for
Jack London has come along and writ
ten about the same subject In the
same manner, say the fault-flnders.
In reply to the charge of theft,
Mr. London naively admits the re
semblance,'but says It Isn't really a re
semblance. because be Is doing the
stunt to much better than Mr. Water
loo did It. Or. words to that effect.
The whole matter Is really of not
,o much moment, after all. Mr. Lon
don does things quite Ills own way,
when It comes to writing. And why
should lie not take Mr. Waterloo's
story and revamp It a little and sell
It for ten cents a word—or whatever
the market rate ol his work may be?
Jack probably needs the money.
And then the discussion will help
the sale of Mr. Waterloo's book. too.
It's a poor steal that don't give
somebody h little coin.
Plain Talk From Booker Wash
ington.
The address delivered here Sunday
to the members of bis race by Booker
T. Washington Is an eminently sane
and sound speech. It Is marked by
lack of impassioned utterance, and
has none of the frills and furbelows
of rhetoric. It seems to be a plain,
logical statement of facts mid conclu
sions.
Most of the speech was cast along
old lines, with few new thoughts de
veloped.
There was one suggestion, however,
in the speech that is worthy of being
prayerfully considered by the white
clergymen of the South. He said:
"There is no reason. In my opin
ion, why the white religious
leaders of the South should not
take the name Interest In the spir
itual welfare of the negro race
now aa was true in slavery. I very
mueh wlab that oftener In the fu
ture than has been true in the
past, that white ministers might
preach In negro pulpits. I wish
that they might feel that this Is a
part of their duty throughout the
South. I hope that our ministers
will see to it that their white
brother ministers are Invited as
often as possible to speak in their
pulpits. I have been greatly
pleased to note the cordial co
operation between the white and
colored ministers In this city dur
ing the past few week*."
That Is one of the ideals of the Civic
League, which hss recently been
formed. It Is bound to result in
good. Let the white ministers of At
lanta come to accept it as one of the
pastoral duties facing them.
It
AGAIN, A^ TO THAT SHIP SUBSIDY.
A disputatlve correspondent finds occasion in a letter addressed to the
editor to take Issue with the view recently expressed on this page of the
ship subsidy bill, now pending before congress. This measure,
recollect aright, was passed hy the senate at the last Hcsston of the present
congress, and will cotno up before the house before its adjournment. Our
correspondent, who asserts he Is a plain farmer, writes with much skill
as much skill, possibly, as a good many, of those whom be terms "hired
writers.”
But In taking position In favor of the nliip subsidy measure and lu at
tacking, In opposition, The Georgian's views as unsound, lie argues only
from the standpoint of expediency, and loses sight of tho basic principles
of democratic government.
Our correspondent assumes an attitude that Is very unsound; lie seems
to believe the end justifies the means.
The ship subsidy bill, says he, is a fine thing because It will give us
of (he United States a chance for the South American trade; It will build
up our atrophied merchant marine; It will restore the American flag to
dominion o'er the see.
We grant without argument that the 8011II1 American trade would be
a fine thing for the manufacturers nnd producers of the United States to
enjoy In greater extent than they now do; wo grant that it would bo a fine
thing for our merclinnt marine to fiourjsh like a green bay tree; we grant
that tho sight of Americun flags flying at tho masthaad of tho ships in the
harbors of the world would lie a thing to set every patriotic pulse a-qulver
with jiride.
But we do deny that a government subsidy Is the square and honest
and proper and democratic thing to do to nccomplish those things.
Almost any subsidy tnay lie looked upop With, righteous suspicion. The
word "subsidised" has a sinister sound. A subsidised press Is a hideously
criminal thing; a subsidized Individual Is a pitifully weak thing lo behold
A subsidised opinion Is an Instrument of evil.
There are, of course, some governmental bonuses that are of unmiti
gated good. But a subsidy should be looked In the teeth, not so much
by recipient as by the real donor.
This ship subsidy measure has the ardent support of the president, it
Is said. It certainly has Mr. Ruot, and Mr. Taft, and a good many others
among tho Uepubllcati leaders, Heartily favoring it. It is essentially
measure of tho Republican party—the party of tho protective tariff, the party
that actually accomplishes, If It does not abstractly approve of, special privi
leges. ,
The inherent honesty of Mr. Roosevelt may not be questioned. But re
sults are what he wants, and not always Is ho careful to consider how they
tiro secured. The other devotees of the measure may lie dismissed as more
politicians, however able they may, bo.. So much for the power behind the
ship subsidy.
This particular nioasure is aimed to rectify conditions that arc due
solely.to n high protective tariff. On the face of it, It may not appear to bo
so, but a.careful consideration of It will demonstrate that at'the bottom of
It all the high tariff lurks as the chief ami the contributing cause of the
dwindling of the American merchant marine.
It is simply that the American shipbuilders cannot—or will not—build
merchant ships as cheap as can—or will—the foreign constructors. Further
more, foreign built ships may not be nationalized, so to speak. They may
not fly tho American ling.
And so, American merchant lines have not been able to compete with
foreign ships. Wherefore, they have' languished.
The shlj) subsidy bill Is purposed to give tho American lines the handi
cap of enough money to enable thorn lo buy ships here at home—at the
higher .prices—and lo pperato them at a profit.
The lurking evil lies not In the giving of the money to the operators of
the ship lines. It Is granted that they will nut profit. But' the money goes
into tho pockets of the ship builders. These ship builders form a trust.
They can charge whatever they want to. Because In dealing- with Americans
they have no competition.
Suppose the ship subsidy measure passes, and with It in effect uu Im
petus is given the merchant lines. With this in view, they order the building
of several ships. Tho demand grows. Why, nil the ship buildiug trust need
do Is to raise the prices again. Then to save the poor merchant marine,
It Is necessary for tho government to Increase tho ante. And so on, ml In
finitum and to the swelling of the profits of the very few stockholders In
the ship building trust.
Isn't that obvious?
Will not this subsidy merely pave I lie way for more?
And who, pray, will be paying the freight?
The people, of course.
The subsidy Is too patent a steal; a grab by the few front the many.
Of course tho cry of “build up our trade with South America" nnd the ap
peal to patriotism are mighty fine; but they are shouted so very loud, in
order to drown the still small voice that squeaks, "stop thief!"
The real remedy for this sorry condition Into which our merchant 111a-
riue Is fallen?
Simple enough. Merely allow foreign-built ships lo fly the American
flag.
Merely let the American operators of shipping lines purchase their
vessels In European |>orts as cheap as the foreigners can.
Then lliey will be on an absolute equality with the foreigners, and if
American business methods aplied to the shipping business cannot hold their
own with the foreigners, why let them fall.
But they won’t fall.
And, also, there will quickly come a reduction in the cost of American-
built ships.
Competition kills a trust; just like ammonia neutralizes nitric acid.

INSPECTS SHOPS
OF HIS NEW ROAD
upon the part_of the Buford Volunteer
Fire Department saved Buford from
having a very disastrous fire Saturday
night, when tho straw store house of
R. H. Allen burned to the #round.
Tills building, on account of the na
ture of its contents, was built at what
was considered a safo distance from
Mr. Allen's large harness and hor*e
collar factory, nnd under ordinary con
ditions very little apprehension would
havo been felt by tho owner and citi
zens of tho fire spreading any farther,
but at the time of the fire Saturday
night a brisk wind was blowing the
fierce (lames dungerously close to tho
main building, and Fire Chief J. L.
Shndburn saw that he and his men
would havo tho hardest kind of work in
saving the main building, and directed
Ills men to play on the largo collar fac
tory, which looked as If It would catch
fire several times.
Captain Fred Wilson led a force tint
also did good work In extinguishing
tho burning brands that fell on the
large harness shop and adjoining
buildings.
The citizens of Buford are loudly
praising their fire company for the good
work they did Saturday night, and tho
mayor and council arc so proud of them
that they are going to buy them a new
first-class, up-to-date equipment.
The company consists of twenty-two
of the most active young men In the
town, and they say that with new ap
paratus, backed \ip by tho splendid
water pressure In Buford, the loss by
fire in Buford will bo very small.

SOUVENIR CALENDAR
FOR HOLIDAY ti! FT
The new souvenir calendar of At
lanta which has just been placed
rain in many leading stores is one of
the handsomest ever issued, and will
no doubt be a popular gift for the holi
days. The views of the city which
adorn each page are new and interest
ing. and the calendar will appeal to the
business man for Its plain black figures
as much as to the lover of the artistic.
The cover Is a handsome design, show
ing the gate*j of the city- in gray and
gold, and the whole Is encased* in a
neat 1k>x for mailing.
