Rucker I* the editor of Tha Alpharetta Free Press and be Is also the school oommlsskmhr of Milton county. In bis Joint aopneity he Is conducting n campaign for aducatipaal ad vancement which Is no focreful end so sincere that we are glad lo Join tha circulation of The Georgian to that of The Free Press to glva It addition al currenffir and effect. . ■_ This Is ih* opening gun of tbs educational campaign whlcl Commis sioner Rucker declares shall not end. short of ttye educational uplift of Mil ton county: • Elsewhere In Ibis Issue of The Free Press MR) Jessie Norris, of Westvlew academy, one of the host teachers In this county, boo an article In the Interest of local taxation for school*. Mis* Nor ris points out * school and gives us a clear picture of it before It was •imported by local taxation and another picture of It now, when It It so supported. The two pictures remind one of s skel eton and a man In the best of health. Staled In s few words, the trouble with our schools Is simply this: They have not enough money behind them. Money Is what la heeded, and It makes no difference when it corns* from, just so It Is not' "tainted." If Home big-hearted man would endow our schools; nr If well-to-do citizens In every-community would sub- errlbe lllmrally to pay the teachers; or If the state would appro priate four million* of dollars to tbo common schools every year, as It should do. then local taxation would not be necessary. But. If we wait for money from these sources, our children will grow up In Ignorance and wa shall ha gnUty of tha groaaest neglect'of duty. We see no rich man who Is even thinking about endowing 1 he achoola of Milton county. In only a few place* In the county are there men who will eupplemeut the public fund with amounts sufficient 10 secure the cervices of the beet teachers. Two years ago the constitution of Georgia, was so amended 1 cursed ha tha <lgy when It was!) as lo limit the power of the stats to tax, and It Is not at all probable that we shall ever he able to Indues the legislature lo cut off other appropriations and Increase the ap propriations to common schools to such extent as will moke thorn what they should be. Wa see only on* way to get money tor - the echools. and .that It by local uAtion. If there Is any other way, let some one point |t out. We know the iieople of Milton county sre progressive In educa tional matters. We know they sre enthusiastic sad far In ad vance of many other country counties of the state. They do not wish to we' their schools lowered In efficiency. But. Itgten. f*I- lowcllltena: If we do not provide means for raising more mon ey for our schools, so as to extend the school term and pay the I .cut teachers respectable salaries, we shall soon be far behind the Ilmen. An unprecedented tidal wave of prosperity Is sweeping over the country, and high-priced living has forced wages and sala ries to double. Wa have no right to expect competent man and women lo remain In the teaching profesnioo when they can got twice nr three limes as much munsy for their services In other lines of work. Ten years ago tlv* best teachers worked for 150 a month; now they get 1100 amontb. and could get mere If they would go Into other fields of endeavor. The best teachers are re maining In the profession only because they possess the genuine missionary spirit, without which even the best educated teaohers are failures. The Free Press begins this week tn educational campaign such as has never before boon made In MUtoa county. We sre going lo discuss In these columns til matters that bear upon prog ress In educational matters, having an the object jn view local tax** for our schools. We Ihvtle teachers and citizens to contrtb- ule articles that will help the cause to succeed. If before this good yesr 1907 shall be numbered with the things or the post we can pul Into operation n school system that will give to our children that which Is rightfully theirs, we shall Indeed be worthy servants. Let us all try. There In the wholesome gospel of self-help In Editor Rucker’s ap peal. Tbs old spirit of dependence—of laying down on somebody to wait for help—Is not a part of this virile age. Perhaps Editor Rucker may he right In his belief that the slate should educate Us children.' Hut we are sure thst Editor Rucker Is right In lb* proposition that If tha stale will not educate the children of Milton county then Milton must educate Its own children. And so In this saving gospel of manliness and Independence, we sa lute our contemporary and wish him QbdspeedTaud msy hia example 1>« multiplied among the counties of .the state. TOES or THE WHITE PLAQUE ORGANIZING. Hon. John Tempi* Graves, Editor Th* Georgian, City. After your splendid editorial In yesterday's Georgian, nothing re mains to do but for you to call a mealing of toms of our moat prominent cltlanna and devise ! away to assist thss* unfortunate I gland ready to put up my subscription to a properly organized movement of this kind and know that thsr* ar* many mors citi zens of Atlanta and Georgia who will do ths same. Call this meeting. Mr. Qravss, and let’s pull off our costa snd go to work. Respectfully! J. E. MADDOX. It Is a notable and gratifying evidence nf profound Interest In a vital aubject when so busy end absorbed a merchant aa Mr* Maddox responds so promptly tu lb* startling array of facts presented on this page on Tues day. Mr. Maddox Is oue of the representative Atlantans of today. In perfect health and at the head of a great and prosperous business, be In stantly comprehends tbs scope and the magnitude of the peril which surrounds our people present snd future, In ths unchecked and unchanged conditions which forward the growth of consumption. Like the practical and direct business man that he Is. Mr. Maddox appeals for "action and organlullon"—and these mutt be the watchwords of Ibe hour. Here from another source—perhaps the most practical In the chari table Ilfs of the city—comes this strong letter of indorsement and appeal: Atlanta. Ga., Jan. 59. 1907. Mr. John Temple Graves, Editor Georgian; II waa said by a prominent physician before the National Con ference of Charities and Correction* In Philadelphia last May that "the attitude of the authorities, state, municipal and national, to ward the tuberculosis problem Is one of the anomalies uf our age at the presolft lime. "That th* annual loaa of a Hundred and fifty thsuaand of eur clt- Ixtnt from * single dlstaso which is known to bo communicable and tharofora preventable, should bo allowed to eontlnuo almost as a matter of courai, speaks badly for our civilisation.” You have anlsed upon a vital Issue and most ably put It before the people. Could anything make plainer 10 our city fathers and our voters the necessity of public provision for those unfortu nates suffering from this disease who cannot care for themselves? In how many of our promlutnt families has this "preventable” reuse laid Its blight, and taken away what their remaining for tune can never replace—give It though ihey would. There are many prominent men In this community snd big tax payers who believe thst our city government should spend more money In the cause of elvlc righteousness and philanthropy Could anything maks plainer to our city fathers and eur entire suffrage, the Interdependence of our ptoplr, than the rosily groat editorial which you publlthod Tuesday? The paupers come from our Inebriates, and the criminals from our paupers snd our neglected children, one-tenth of th* total Dumber of deaths from a preventable disease. I despise the name "charily" with which some of our ollcltls and others are wont to characterise snd dismiss an appeal for mare attention to these subjects. When they recognise the brother hood of men and help to restore charity to the pise* St. Paul gave It. will Ihey speak so slightingly of ll? Ultimately. II I* the altruistic activity of a community which furnishes the basis for Its greatness. Its glory snd Its pride. It Is the man who lives for others that loves his'own life, and fall) urns Its deepest secrets. So with n community. The more cm pbaals we lav on these things I have mentioned, the more we will think of our city and our state—the more we will think of our- aelvee and of each other, and the world we llvp In. Look how Tha Georgian has grown In tho publie sstssm and spproelatlonl Is It not duo somewhat to th* smphasls you hav* laid on a elosnor paper and a batter land? J. C. LOGAN. This from the Associated Charities which has Just established a dls pensary for the free treatment of tuberculosis It Is an admirable letter from tha secretary and Indicates thst the physician* and the Associated Charities of Atlanta are a unit In appreciation of the perl!, t,nd lu the ef fort to combaf'lt- It Is aa Mr Imogen quotes a matter or absolute amatement that there could possibly be «ny apathy, slate, municipal or national, toward the fearful malady at which Tho Georgian edltorisl of Tuesday ws* aimed. For our own pert we confess thst apathy with us has been th* ehlM of Ignorance. The very moment that reading and investigation had quick ened the realisation of the tremenous figures of ibis uatlonal peril th* spirit of th* pencil leaped to warning and appeal. Why If we knew that even the little turbulent Cubans wlthogt a navy on rhTU only were swarming to our coasts with hostile gtm la their republic would be l« a aUr from Penobscot to PaiassMs. and arsonaUiwUfc the trai^pot armed man and ^ustllnff hi wny u » and on rafts bn|b the rei the wli of 1 would sweep Southward in long lino* of martial soldiers through the states to Florid* to defend the country. And yet no man can figure how from 1 sdeh sn iavaalon there could be a loss of more than one or two thousand men. Tha Idea ef any peoples on earth remaining Inactive and unconcarnsd In th* deadly preaenca ef an aver advancing enamy whs** progress stays every ysar on* hundred and fifty thousand of sur psopl* In tha most re- morsels** way. Wan, let us. gat to work as soon as possible. The Georgian Is an even- gtl. * messenger. It has no desire tolead. Let the ifhyalelaua. the organ- Udd charities and the public official* call a meeting, and perfect a plan for help and remedy. To buy or lease a tract of high, dry ground about Atlanta. To build a bouse or to erect tent*, to enlist the aun and air In volumes for heal ing, to provide expert physicians, ample equipments, and proper food— to regulate eplttlng and coughing In htatad aganelat ef dissemination, to register all consumptlv* casts, and to rigidly perfect tho host possible system of unitary protection—to destroy tht thousands of millions of con sumptive bacilli flooding tho air—to heal tha tick, and to protect tho well.

CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER Gossips About People O ' L, ossips j and Oth and Other Things.. By CnOf.LY XNICKtRBOCKait o THE "PREACHER" AND "THE THEATER." The estaaaiad Constitution of Tuesday morning furnishes an editorial which gives us much surprise and aom* pious regret. An axel I pment was recently created In the religious circles of Colum bus, Oa.. over th* rumor that Rev. Lao Lewis, of th* Methodist church, had attended the theater. Rsv. Lewis succeeded In promptly establish ing an alibi, and bis vindication was made the aubject of a press dispatch- J In commenting upon the Incident The Constitution takes th* positive ground that Preacher Lewis should have gone to the theater and argues over a colump and a half of space to prove It. It Is thla argument which gives*us an Inward pain, For m staid and venerable old newspaper whose orthodoxy he* re cently eoared to th* far millennial height of solving tbs roc* problem by converting all the negroes to Chrlst.lt appears to ns that this position Is altogether too advanced and perhaps a trill* heretical. We nr* Inclined to fear that for once In Its cautious and oooaarvatlv* Ilf*, our ever venerable contemporary has gotten In advance of the times. We apprehend that In this matter It is marching out of step with th* or thodox rank and that the religious people of Georgia who are regular and after the old fashion, will “mark time" whll* Tha Constitution got* forward. We have no “cant" ourselves In th* matter and make no pretensions, but we would prefer not to see our preacher Ip th* pit or the dress circle— not yet nor soon. The age la growing spec* and old standard* are drop ping away mighty fast, but we ore still to Tar under th* spell of the old things that we would like to keep the men of God who lead us for a llttlo longer upon a plane and pedestal above we fellows who alt la the pews. Th* stage'll perhaps growing batter, but It Is not yet a place where w# care to see our preachers or to .carry our younger children. It I* a faithful saying and worthy of all -acceptation among the orthodox that a Chrtxttaa mtnistsr should go nowhere that he cannot carry bit Lord with him, and his little children. There are not many preacher* of the old regime who would feel comfortable In an ordinary theater with the Idea that Jesus of Nazareth might look In at th* door, or that hla little girl by his side might ask him to reconcile bis home teachings of modesty sod virtue with some of th* wards end much of the undressing that she saw on the stage. We are forced to take Issue with our contemporary’s first “broad and undeniable premise." tbst “the siege of today Is Uf* Itself In miniature.” For It la not true. The plays tike “Hazel Klrke," and "The Old Homestead," and “Shore Acres,” are not now on the stage. They have been carted off with the frayed scenery. Wa have our full quota of problem plays like Bernard 8baw’s "Candida” In which an Impulsive gentleman frankly falls In love with another man’s wife, and-an frankly toll* her *0,—And we are liter ally surfeited with the Anna Held* and the FYitsI Scfaeffa snd the Lnla Glasers, and (be long flaming sketch, of comic operas In whose absurd ex travaganza* and ahameleas ballets there la no more of real life than there la In a lunatic orgle or In a mardl gras parade. Think of an ambassador of Christ studying life snd death aad immortality at a matinee perform- auce of “Tabasco” or "Tbo Sultan of Sulu!" It would be dlfflcult to persuade the average church member that a healthy and normal preacher at pay one of these startling physical ex hibitions of human flesh would be able to keep his mind resolutely fixed upon his business with the souls ofmeu or bis mission In lb* world. But. says our wise old contemporary, he needn't go to the bad shows. There arc so many good things In the theater. So-so. And there are many good things also In a whisky saloon. Whisky Is not the only thing they cell In those gilded places. There Is Apolllnaris, and Whits Rpck, mineral waters so palatable for the atomach. There la the Red Raven 8pl!t of medical celebrity, and there are excellent cigars for those who smoke. Our advanced and progressive preacher as developed by Tbe Constitution's counsel might go Into the saloon for a bottle of Apolllnaris lo carry to hla sick wife at home. Hut the young fellow on tbe outside who saw him go In. would ba sure to think'the preacher went for a drink of the liquor that Inebriates. And If the young fellow was himself In doubt as to bis own entrance, be would find In th* clerical sxsmpl* s pretty strong excuse lo follow his own Inclinations. And wbso our preachers get to frequenting the box office* for eligi ble seals even at reputable plays, the eager youtb who have £een train ed to regard them with reverence as models of Christian conduct, will be likely to follow not wisely and discriminatingly but “to the altogeth er" of the stage. There are preach are who will probably agree with our content portry. We have some decided “advanced" occupants of the pulpit tn these times. Tbe> preachers who desire to attend the the ater arc sure to agree. But there will be a saving remnant—we think th* great majority—<*rho will hold fast to the faith of the Fathers and continue to sing "The Old Time Religion—It's Good Enough for Me!" There are vast possibilities of usefulness In tbo stage. Purged of Its errors, stripped of Its Ignoble pandering to tho baser side of our humanity, and set to high tdsala. It may, bo made In time to teach the great lessons and preach the mighty aermona of the world. Hut this consummation la not yet attained. Nor is It likely to come by Ih* surrendsr to Us present stats, of thst great band of Christian knights snd ministers Ahose Inflexible attitude of virtue bst for a hundred years rebuked Its Idffultlas, rettralned Its excessss and pruned lu errors, and whose superb aad Isvel fidelity to Christian standards. Is the one great leaven which Is today, by Its very absence and aloofness, leavening thu stage with th* Impulses, aspirations and reforms which are slowly but steadily bringing It to Its last and greatssl mission In Ibe world We believe our preachers of rlghteousaess will stand steadfast n little longer. In fsel, we know they will. New 'York. Jsn. *1—Th* republic of Mexico has made a diplomats "Scoop" on Great Britain. By sotting her new ambassadors ■ on Ih* ground In Washington bofore the arrival of th* British savoy. Mexico takes precedence over the great power. The roolgnatlon of Blr Mortlmor Du rand last November vataa suddenly and entirety unexpected, lmmedlauly Pres ident Dios began to take notice and U Is understood Razor Caaaans was com- munlcatad wltb In th* hopes that he might be able to return; If not. the Mexican president would set about to find a successor so as to have him In stalled In Washington ahead of the new Britleh diplomat.

It la known, demurred and preferred to fol low Iho even tenor of hla way. but Dias would not take “no" for an an swer. and he was asked to doss up hla affair* t* soon as possible snd make all hast* lo Washington. Mexico's action Is appreciated In dip lomatic and official cl rets* as placing Consul Horace W. Metcalf forwards from Newcastle an English newspaper review of ship building In 1901. from which this I* taken: I The ship tonnage launched In Brltlsn yards th* past year was 9.000.000 tons, against the previous high-water mark of 1.900,000 tons In 1001. and lust double Ih* 1,000,000 Lons production of 1111. In German yards 01 vessels were launched during 1000. with a tonnage of 930,990 tons and :33.9(1 hors* power.
