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 ly tills section need* Is niofe steam. 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.

INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad BERLIN PRESS 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.

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.
