chairmanship by declarations from various sections that It would be tin-
lieomilng In a secretary nf the treaghry lo hold a political position, the
very nature nf which would bring him In contact with men and Institu
tion* which, II haa been contended, no member of' the cabinet ahould
have dealings with. *
Not long ago II was stated that President Roosevelt had urged upon
Mr. Cortelynu as chairman of the National Republican Commute, and
Cornelius Bliss, treasurer nf the committee, to return to certain life In
surance companies the moneys which they had contributed to the last
Republican presidential campaign fund. This. It la understood. Mr. Cor-

“GRADE CROSSINGS” AND A STEP FURTHER.
The Georglen hat had In mind for' a long time a suggestion that
aeema most practicable, to tho end that the congestion on Whitehall and
Peachtree street* he relieved. We have not voiced the suggestion soon
er because It would be quite a heavy expense to a corporation tha‘t has
been the subject of more or Ice* criticism through The Georgian'* col
umns In the course of Its munlrliisl ownership fight. But since that
movement his reached a |M)Int where capable <sUy authorities have taken
the matter In hand, and money has been eet aside by council to take care
of It, we believe wo can beat assist by letting. these gentlemen tee what
ran be done, and helping later should they need at.
Bo we believe we may be hoard now on the (abject of the relief of
the congeitlon on Whitehall and Peachtree streets without any suggestion
of Impoeltlnn. ...
Whitehall and Peachtree tan never be widened. They, can hardly
hold the business being done i her* now, and pedestrians often are com
pelled t<> walk In the street, though there Is hardly room for more than
one 'carriage between car tracks and sidewalk.
Everybody knows of the number of cars passing alonI these
streets, making shopping, very trying, as well ge stirring th* doit that Is
such an enemy to our membranes.
We euggest that the Peachtree and West Peachtree car tracks lead
Into a-subway at the Junction of these two streets, and continue under
the street until" the grade Is reached near Gutbman's new laundry.
The aubway could be made of steel like the New York subway and
could he 10 near the surface that there would not be more than fifteen
atepa to the street.
There cniild be atalrw.i.us m all rnrnsr».-apd half way la buay blocks
This teems to us to Ire the only practical solution of the (koblotn, and
we suggest It to be thought over.
A STORY OF HUMAN FAITH AND 8A0RIFI0E,
Aa sweet a* the chiming nf angelus belli above the noise and turmoil
of the marts of trade; aa full of melody aa the ringing In the old English
lurrrtod tower of the refrain. "He that Keepetb Israel, shall neither
alumlrer nor sleep," comes a story of charity and gratitude which is lifted
above i lie tumult of this busy, commercial city.
Atlanta lias Ita noble Inatltuttmia, which minister to the needs of the
sick and of tin- dying. II haa Ita places of refuge, where the homeless and
the hungry Hint comfort snd sustenance.
Orphan asyliitna shelter friendless waif*, bereft by an unkindly fate
of the lender ministrations of watchful parent*. There are homes, where'
unprotected women, forced Into tho maelstrom of business life, can find
hope and cheer, at living prices. There are places of refuge and reform
lo which good women beckon and urge the wayward feel of other wo
men which have trodden forbidden path* and whose tired eye* have
Imiked Into the very depths of perdition, while their sln-alrk hearts yearu
fer (lie peace and purity of earlier year*.

and the hopeie»s depravity of tht* great modern city.
One anMi man. whose kindly deeds are known only to n few close
l[-lends, had recently a singular experience worthy of chronicling at this
lime when the cynic and tho pessimist boldly exploit their lack of faith
In human nature.
This man. who** philanthropy la not limited by age. color or condl-

a dismal tin f a timorous knock mi hi* office door announced the advent

him for his IndlBervnre to moneyed obligations, when the uegro, with

Ship 8ab«ldy Opponent* Pleased.
Opponents of ship subsidy legisla
tion say they are confident of the de
feat nf such legislation at this session
nf congress. They say that, regard
less of what action the house com
mittee on merchant marine may lake,
the house will pass no bill on the sub
ject.
One of-thw dtfficntttr* of• the situa
tion from the standpoint of those who
want legislation, ts the fact that the
friends of subsidies are themselves di
vided. The compromise proposition
that waa submitted to the house com
mittee on merchant marine and fish
eries some days ago by Representa
tive Groavenor, apparently does not
please everyone.
It provides for mall subsidies only
and these merely for lines to South
America. Cuba and the Orient. Rep
resentative Littlefield opposes any
such measure that docs not provide
a subsidy based on tonnage, and xev-
eral members of the committee take,
tho same view.
With the advocates divided, the op
ponents of any legislation at all say
there will be no difficulty in prevent
ing legislation this session.
ICOURT OF APPEALS
BEGINS EXISTENCE
Before the gtew* court of appeal* be
gan Its work of hearing rases two
dissenting opinions came from within
the court.
One was the dissenting opinion of
Judge B. H. Russell aa lo the rule dee-
Igniting the presiding Judge by age,
and through which rule the presiding
judgeship went to Judge Ben Hill, of
Atlanta.
Judge Arthur G. Rowell dlsaented
from the tnnoratton —tnagttrated—by
Judge Rueaell In ngmlng Miss Marion
Bloodworth aa his 'secretary. After
the announcement of Miss Blood
worth's appointment the question of
her fllglhllliy was raised. Many ex
pressed (he view Ihnt the position of
stenographer was "an office," and that
th* code of Georgia expressly forbid
a woman holding offlre In the slate.
However, Miss Bloodworth took the
oath nf office and Is now acting as
Judge Russell's secretary.* Judge Pow
ell's dissent was based solely on the
section of the code forbidding tho ap
pnlntment of women to office.
Judge Russetl'a dlssentlon to the
method of naming a presiding Justice
was baaed on two.fold reasons. He
holds Ihnt the court cannot exercise
legislative functions not delegated to It
In the act, and Ihnt the, net provides
only for a clerk and a shrrlB. Hla fur.

Hon that age does not necessarily Imply
