HIS BIRTHDAY

On hundred and seventy years ago
today, on a Virginia plantation, a boy
was born. II made but little stir in
that rural community. The slaves
gcsslped. and smiled at their extra al
lowance of food for that day. and the
planter took a larger dram.
Not many years had passed ere that
boy, grown to a young man. was with
Braddoclk in the West, demonstrating
unusual powers of foresight and cour-
age, returning to Virginia with certain
honors, which he bore with modesty.
The scene opens again on a country
lin turmoil; men are agitated, and There
are deep mutterings of discomfort
against the sovereign across the water
There is even talk Of rebellion, and it
is not long ere sailing vessels are bear
ing the news to every port that the
colonists have promulgated a Declare
ton Of independence, and placed a young
Virginia planter at the head of their
armies.
Then began conflict in many re
lspects without a parallel in history
period Of years during which men
fought as men had never fought, and
suffered as they had never suffered. But
It ended in a glorious victory at York
town, and the world awoke to know
that it had another hero, George Wash
ington
1t was his hand, more than any
Iother that brought order out of chaos
Under his direction and calm judgment
the foundations of the Republic were
llaid. IL was due largely to his yea
and counsel that the inefficient articles
OF confederation were succeeded by on
splendid Constitution.
When his great task of iberatng the
people, ana of establishing a stabl
, government was completed, he return

, PLANTER, and thus he died.
He established no dynasty. he amass
ed no fortune. but he did somethin
Infinitely better. He left a name hon

are growing more numerous, and we
may well believe that the time is ap-
preaching when we shall look through
a sort of screen at the sun or the stars.
All these carry electric currents, more
or less deadly, and we are saved from
destruction only by the efficiency OF
the appliances which hold them in
place. Daily thousands Of persons pass
under these live wires. Unconscious OF
the fact that should there be break
from any cause these strings OF copper
would instantly carry death to those
beneath.
For a number of years there have
been spasmodic efforts to have these
wires in the confines of the cities put
under ground. The project is feasible but
expensive. But when they are once 20
placed they are out of the way. and are
not liable to be disarranged by any
weather disturbances. IL has been found
perfectly feasible to operate under
ground trolleys, and as the currents
for running our cars are especially
strong. there must always be some
danger when the wires are strung over
head.
In certain OF the Continental cities.
notably Paris. there are conduits along
the sewers built in substantial man
ner, and large enough for man to
pass through. These are for the pur-
pose OF holding all pipes and wires that
may be laid for any purpose This OBJ
viates tine necessity of digging up the
streets every time a gas main, OF a
telephone wire is laid. The time Will
doubtless come when we shall find that
this system is more satisfactory, and
also more economical. But for the
Immediate present we must bear our
discomfort with fortitude, keep our
heads in the sky, even Though our feet
refuse to cling to earth. and remem-
Der THAT we have very little to expect

but the months are coming when the

Nature has covered this part OF the

beautiful. but so inconvenient. The

In one of his delightful lectures the
late Henry w. Grady. the brilliant edi-
tor of the Atlanta Constitution. used tn
tell OF a visit to his old home. where
the aged mother used to await his oo-
casional visits.
When bedtime came she conducted
him to the old room where he had
dreamed his boyhood dreams After
fussing over him to her hearts content
she retired and soon the great journal
list was in the land of oblivion.
In the middle Of the night he awoke:
someone was stealing noiselesslv
around the bed. tucking in the clothes
and patting the covering lovingly. He
remained quiet. and the moving figure
reached down and touched its lips To
his forehead and glided out of the
room.
1t was his mother. and the great
journalist was not ashamed to say that
he Law there and sobbed himself to

How often the individual that you
meet in business and for whom you
learn to nave an aversion, is another

influences of the home. and how often
too the picture is reversed? Now that

thinking over.
The oak and the vine is a figure
which. fortunately, is losing its mean

extra burden which simply clings to
it and retards its development. Neither
does the vine exist for the mere pur-
pose of clinging without any motive
but to be a dead weight upon another.
There is no smile that is satisfactory.

LACK OF INFORMATION

A member OF Council informs us that
his constituents are opposed to build
ing the new reservoir, and we take this
as an indication that he will vote to
continue the appeal OF the Weldin pur-
chase case in the Supreme court. IL
may be true that The people he repre-
sents take the attitude he indicates,
but, if so, they are gravely mistaken,
and he should be interested in making
that fact clear to them. The need in
our water system is a fact, and preju
dice or opinion has nothing to do with
IT, A question Of ethics or of principle
may admit of various opinions. but when
we are daily pumping from a basin
more water than il will hold at one
time. opinions based on guesswork are
nonsense.
We need education in this matter,
and we should realize that an impure
or inefficient water supply means dis
ease and death. IL IS also apparent
THAT we cannot purchase lands, build
reservoirs, put in mains and machin-
cry within week. on even a year. We
need tho new reservoir badly now, but
ere il could be completed we should
need it worse. Our councilmanic friend
seems to think that the matter has been
stirred up by the newspapers and that
for some unaccountable reason they AID
vocate the improvement That unac-
countable reason is that &c is needed,
and will be a necessity very soon. The
press. through the investigation of its
stats, has become informed and the
information has shown a responsibility
which cannot be evaded

of il, then there viii be a party re-

water and we must avoid direct pump

cannot meet these conditions. Don't
