The situation with respect to the fran
chise sought at the hands of City Coun-
eli by the promoter of the White Bluff
railway scheme may be aptIy summed up
by paraphrasing familiar scriptural quo
tation so as to make it read, He asked
for bread, and We gave him a stone" The
promoter of the line petitioned for the
privilege of constructing tracks on GER
tain of the city's streets. naming such
available streets as would permit of the
building OF line that would be likely to
earn interest on the investors money.
After holding the petition in suspension
for months the city authorities replied
that rights OF way might be used on the
eastern and western edges of the city, but
made no provision for connecting tracks
between these two edges. or Tor coEEec.
tons with the track coming in from
White Bluff. 1t is the fact. further, that
the western-edge right of way is on a
street that is not yet opened fully. This
extraordinary concession of street privi-
leges to corporation that proposes to aid
in building up the city seems to be bril-
liant example of how not to do it,
The construction of on electric railway
from the city to White Bluff would greatly
benefit not only the city itself but the
whole section tributary to the White
Bluff road. 1t would make communica-
ton easy, and lead to the development Of
many waste places. That being true, and
it cannot be successfully disputed. the

helping hand to such an extent as Is con-
sistent with public policy; and it is not
against public policy to give the scheme
such street privileges as will put it on
a firm basis.
The public question is, not what are the
present street railway interests, but what
is the best thing for the city and the
people? Nor should any consideration of
personality be brought into the matter
The question in nutshell is, Would it be
a good thing for Savannah to have an
electric railway to White Bluff? Would
II not profit the city as a whole, and hun
dreds OF citizens as individuals, to have
increased facilities for rapid transit in
the city, and for transportation to and
communication with the suburban section
between here and White Bluff? There
can be but one reasonable answer.
What has been already accomplished in
and around Savannah, in the way Of build
ing up and developing, by electric rail-
ways is an earnest of what more may be
and is a strong argument
in favor of increasing the electric road IA
cilities whenever possible. And so far as
the citizens have been heard from, they
are in favor of such increase. They Ell.
dorse the White Bluff road project, and
would like to see it carried to early COM
pletion. The Board of Aldermen should
see to IL that the wishes of the public In
this matter are carried out. The new road
should be helped, not hindered.

A WORD TO SOCIETY woNrx

A day or two ago, DR.. Williams Rains
FORD of New York city, in an address be-
fore the Building Fund Committee of the
proposed Stoney Waldo Sanitariun. ureo1
society women who were worn out with
their social duties to- gain little rest by
visiting the poor, instead Of giving up
their days to visiting each other. He said
that the change would not only do them
good, but that they would find more real
pleasure in it than in the kind of life
they were living.
Is it not somewhat strange that the
very rich men who are giving money to
universities, libraries and hospitals never
give anything toward bettering the con-
dition of the poor? Is this because they
believe the poor would cease trying to
help themselves if helping hand were
extended TO them, or is IT because they
want monuments that bear their names?
If millionaire endows a university or
establishes library il is either known
by his name or his name is linked with
1t in a way that will cause him to be
remembered as long as the endowed insti-
tuition is in existence.
Those who give money to the poor, how
ever. are seldom known to the public.
Their gifts and the receivers of them
never come into public view at least not
in such a way as to be conspicuous. But
could not rich men do something for the
poor in way that would cause them to
be remembered? Could they not, for in
stance, build tenement houses, having ALI
the modern improvements. and let them
at prices no greater than are now paid
for dwelling places by the great majority
Of the very poor? Such a scheme would
not be money-making one. The purpose
would not be to make money, however,
but to assist the poor. 1t is probable that
millionaires could do as much good with
their money in that way as by endowing
libraries and colleges.
