THE CITY AND THE HOSPITAL.
The card from Mia* Moran, which
appeared In The Herald the other
clay la a sound and hu*inc*«-liUe pre
sentment of the economy of leaving
the hospital under Its present man
agement. The Herald made no com
ment upon the proposition to put the
affairs rtf th* City Hospital under the
city’s management for the sufficient
reason that we did not suppose the
motion would gain any headway.
Miss Moran’s able discussion of the
question, however, Is quite convincing
and leaves nothing to he said; unless
It be that on general principles It Is
wise to keep as ninny public affairs as
possible out of politics. We desire to
cast no reflections upon founctl, but
it is well understood that the extrava
gance of the oouncilmanlo system,
everywhere is the chief cause for sub
stituting other and more simple forms
of city government. We are very cer
tain that the city fathers could not
do better in managing the hospital
than its present superintendent has
done. In fact, we do not think that it
could be run with less waste and wiser
economy by anyone, but even if this
were not the case, we would oppose
burdening the city authorities with
more business.
BE A SPORT, MR. WICKERSHAM.
DON’T TAKE OFF ANY OF THE
GEORGIA TRAINS.
The Herald appreciates the recon
slderatloit oi tJencMil Manager Wick
ersham in the application filed before
the Railroad Commission, to take off
certain passenger train* on the tleor
gia Kttilroad.
Be a sport, Mr WicUcrsham. and
don’t take till any passenger trains.
Business is picking up. The worst i* |
over. At this Season of the year, tho j
holiday season, the season when de
layed purchases and postponed bust*
ness must he done, if done at all this i
year, the public will need all the tram j
service they can get.
If trains must be discontinued, why
not wult until after January when j
there generally comes a slackening of 1
businee*. but the next two months
ought to be the busiest of the year.
liusinexM ha* beeii postponed, halted
an i delayed lor three months. A
great deal of this business must bs
caught up and done In the next sixty
days.
Just a* business begins to pick uu,
the exchange* of the world get ready
to do business, when the worst 1* over,
let’s not throw further handicap* in
the way of the public doing business
Jat’s not shut off any strain at this
tune. What the country and especial

The Buckhead train, a* it Is called,
arriving in August* at 11 if* a. m and
serving the whole territory from Ath
ens to Augusta, leaving Augusta at
4:45 p. in., Is the most Important train,
as far as the territory covered and
Augusta's . retail trade is concerned,
that Is operated by the Georgia Rail
road. Don't take off any local trains
that serve so well the needs and de
mands of the local territory Angus
ta doesn’t want to see any trains tak
en off, but It would hurt local trade
conditions less to discontinue the
through service than to discontinue
the splendid local service now main
tained by the Georgia.
Be a sport. Mr. Wlckeraham* and
don’t take off any trains.

creatly admired Its progress. He de
clared the tldng to be sought by the

PRAISE CAREER
OF MEN
Final Destruction of German
Cruiser Had Always Been
Counted on. Laudation For
Her End.
Berlin, (via The Hague and London,
11 a. m.) —All the morning papers -of
Merlin unite In publishing articles In
praise of the comm ere#- destroying
career of the Germ an cruiser Emden.
Her final destruction had always been
counted upon. The Emden was driven
ashore on the Cocoa Island by the Aus
tralian cruiser Sydney.
The Morgenpost says that since the
beginning of the world never has a
single ship taken part In international
warfare with such terrible results, and
all the papers reprint from lamdon
journals laudatory articles on Captain
Carl von Muller, the commander of the
Emden.
Major Moraht, the dillltary critic,
writes in the Tagezlatt:
"There hits been no question that the
career of the Emden was bound to
come to nn end before long. Tho Brit
ish admiralty would have lost the con
fidence of the nation unless It finally
succeeded In destroying her. In view
of the great difference between the
fighting powr of the Emden and that
of her opponent, the Sydney, it Is no
wonder that she suffered severely. Her
career has he. n a glorious one and
never will ls> forgotten."
THE WORTH OF
EACH MAN'S lOIE
Philadelphia. —Prank P. Walsh, of
Kansas City, Mo„ chairman of the fed
eral commission on Industrial rela
tions. addressed the delegates to the
American Federation of I.abor today
on the work of the commission, which
has been Investigating Industrial con
ditions throughout the country during
the last year.
Mr. Walsh said the first report
would he made to congress next month.
He stated that the comn isslon has
examined 300 employers representing
the great Industries of the country.
Only Five
Of these, he said, only five employ
ers have disagreed with the underly
ing principle of collective bargaining
and the commission would so report
Collective bargaining. he said ac
cording to his understanding, was a
system devised by studious men to
prevent the well fed from driving a
hard bargain with hungry men. The
convention was swept by applause
when Mr. Walsh exclaimed that no
man should be satisfied until he had
received the full product of hts own
toll
The Stifled Sob."
The commission In Its travels, he
continued, had heard many criticisms
of labor unions and It also had beard
of ttie exploitations of men and women
and had made articulate the “stifled
sob of the exploited child In the mate
strore of modern Industry."
In Its Investigations on the Pacific
coast, Mr. Walsh said, the commission
heard the cry "get back to the land"
and tt also heard the counter cry, “get
back the land.”
The report of the commission Mr
Walsh said would hold nothing sacred
but the truth
FIFTY INJURED.
New York. The I.ehlgh Valley Rail
road Company today received a report
that Its train number i, running from
Buffalo to New York, had been de
railed this morning st Mud Run, Pa,
between Allentown and Wtlkesharra
and that fifty persons had been In
jured. IVlalls were tacking, al
though first reports sold that no one
had been killed.

HEROIC SACRIFICE
OF RUSSIAN CREW
London, 4:33 a. m —A despatch from
Petrograd to The Times says:
"The correspondents of Finnish
newspapers report the heroic sacrifice
of the crew of a Russian packet boat
In order to save a Russian cruiser
which was unwittingly approaching a
mine In the Gulf of Finland.
‘‘Realizing that it was too late to
signal the danger the boat deliberately
rushed at the mine at full speed. A
terrific explosion followed and six out
of the crew of seven perished. The
survivor, who was severely wounded,
has been awarded the decoration of St.
George.”
OF THINGS THAT NEVER WERE.
He—This brand of champagne should
be called the Biograph.
She—Why so?
He—Because after you drink a pint
of tt you begin to see moving pictures.
