The Hand That Keeps House.


Miss Adams no doubt startled the
grave Municipality leaguers when she
told them at their recent conven-
ton that municipal government is sim
ply housekeeping on a large scale z
Men in public life get heroic over their
tasks and hold their qualifications to
be far and away superior to those of
the common run of mortals. At the
proper time they groan over their bur
dens and again throw bouquets at
themselves on account Of their achieve
ments in municipal statecraft. To be
told bluntly that it is all only a matter
of housekeeping, something they sup
pose their wives and daughters get
amusement from or turn over to hired
hands, is blow in the solar plexus OF
their conceit
The claims of women to political con
sideration because of an abstract right
or on account Of the new industrial
position Of women have not been eff
fective in procuring the suffrage for
The sex throughout the Union. Miss
Adams presents a third argument
when she insists that women can at
END to many civic duties quite as well
as and even better than men. Clean
streets, health. smoke suppression, san
lrary inspection, sWeatshop reform and
hundred other things involve the
application of the peculiar kind Of tai
aat that makes success Of housekeep-
9g. Almost universally in this coun-
try men throw up their hands when
called to book about prevailing bad
conditions in public life Every big
city in the land has been and still is
scandalized by civic rottenness. For
city fathers to lay the fault OF. some
other fellows shoulders is a plain adj
mission Of weakness and inability to
keep house. In the we'll ordered house
hold everybody is kept straight and
every detail looked after. And it takes
2 woman Of more than ordinary talent
to organize and control such house
hold Nature and civilization combined
have produced women equal to the oc-
casion, legions of them, and 50 men
must look to their ways, for it may
turn out that the hand with the cum
ning>to boss the house will be called
in to boss the whole town.

IR the Republicans get licked this
fall it will be because too many of
them regard the election as cinch.
The vote will have to be gotten out

there is little ginger injected into
the campaign there may be some un-
pleasant surprises on election day.

No walk at all is better than a
cinder walk on rainy day. The curb
boards which hold the cinders in place
also prevent the water rpuning off and
these walks are miniature rivers on a
wet day and practically impossible
for pedestrians. They should be
barred in the city.

INFLUX OF NEGROES
CAUSES NO FEAR
Chief Wier Thinks They Are of
Better Element
FLEEING FROM ATLANTA
Some Have Arrived and Others En-
Route-Pollce viii Watch Out
Fr All Strange
Faces.

Chief Wier received information yester-
day afternoon that several car loads of
negroes out of Atlanta are en- route to
Birmingham.
In commenting on this information. the
chief said
II do not look for trouble at the hands
of these negroes who are said to be COM
ing to Birmingham. 1t IS undoubtedly
true that the recent outbreaks In Atlanta
will drive some negroes to Birmingham but
for two reasons citizens should have no
uneasiness. In the first place. these ne
groes have had enough trouble; and In the
second, 1t Is my opinion only the better
element of the colored population that Is
leaving Atlanta. The worst element l be-
lieve Will remain In Atlanta to be ready
to participate in the turmoil there. No,
l do not anticipate any trouble whatever
1T Is probable that the negroes will be
looked after by police officers, and ar
rested In all cases where they have no
work. However, as it is in my power at
present to direct an innumerable horde Of
laborers to employment, and as 1t is my
belief that these Atlanta negroes are of
the better element and desire employment,
l feel assured that their appearance here
will cause no disturbance whatever | am
of the opinion that the police force is able
to handle the situation without the least
difficulty"
The officers have been given instructions
to watch out for every strange and I'M
familiar face on their respective BEATS
Several of the policemen have already
made some reports. Officer Dickson, who
patrols Five Points. has seen three
strange negroes, and other officers have
seen several in various parts of the city.
Officer Burson stated yesterday after
noon that one negro was overheard to say
that he had just left Atlanta, and that
he had to flee for his life. The officer
states that this negro declared that the
mob attacked his wife, but he had to get
out SO rapidly that he was unable to learn
whether she was killed or not.
The police have Information from Chat
tanooga that thousands of Atlanta ne.
groes are congregatng there, and that the
points sought by those leaving the Georgia
capital are Chattanooga, Memphis and
Birmingham.

ty, and had stated they would resist any
