THE DUTY OF EVERY CITIZEN

1t is the duty of every citizen of
Americas to lend a helping hand to
every movement intended to promote
the interests of the city, to assist with
his voice and with his money the
plans that are laid for its material
development.
Never before has there been such
an opportunity offered to our men
to unite together for the building up
of the city as is now presented to
them in the reorganization of the
Board of Trade work along the lines
that have proved so successful in
other cities.
The Board of Trade can be made
a factor of tremendous power in the
industrial and general business pro-
gress of Americas 1t provides the
proper machinery for the advertising
of the city, for the presentation of
its claims. To do this it must have
a large and united and enthusiastic
membership, and the income that re-
suits from their contributions. A
fee of So a year is but nominal tax
on any one There is probably not
a man in the city who could not
afford to give 10 cents a week, $1.25
every three months, to assist in a
work of such vast Importance as
this While the amount obtained
from each individual is small, if
several hundred unite with the or
ganization the total income will be
adequate for all purposes and slim
illus will be given to Americas that
will be far reaching in its effects.
The canvass for members is now
on. You should cheerfully sign the
roll and become allied with the Board
of Trade. Do not be a nonentity in
the community. Put your hand to
the work that is before us all and
give it the boost that it needs. 1t
is an individual responsibility that
rests on you. Do not shirk it.

Publicity for Campaign Expenditure
philadelphia Record.)

Much is to be said for the bill of
Representative Mccall, of Massachu-
sets, which provides for the publ
cation of all campaign contributions
before instead of after the elections
for Congress and President. AL
though the bill has been reported
favorably by the House committee af-
ter long delay this is far from say
ing that it is likely to become a law
before the coming election The pub
LEGATION of what candidate expends
or what is expended for him after
his election or defeat is of small prac-
teal consequence. Had the Repub-
lican National Committee been com
PEELED to publish all the contributions
OF the Trusts and corporations to the
campaign fund before the election in
1904 the country would have been
amazed. 1t may be anticipated that
the tariff-nourished Trusts, in their
dread of Democratic success, will be
as lavish in their contributions this
year as they were in 1904, unless they
are exposed in advance by law and
thus restrained from making dis
honest use of the money of their
stockholders to corrupt the elections
of the people. This is the reason
why the Trusts, with their stand-pat
champions in Congress, will not
permit the passage of the Mccall bill
this session if they can help it-and
they think that they can.
Should the Democrats elect a ma
jority to the next Congress the tariff
will be revised, and especially i'll
those schedules which enable the
Steel Trust, the Lumber Trust, the
Sugar Trust, the Paper Trust and
their congeners to exploit the Am
erican people. In this situation it
will be interesting to observe the
methods of Speaker Cannon, Chair
man Payne and their stand-pat col
league, Representative Dalzell, for
favorable consideration of
the Mccall bill.

Joe Browns Home Life
(Marietta Correspondence Atlanta
constitutional

The residence of Hon. Joseph NJ
Brown, eX-railrOad commissioner, now
a candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor, is in many re-
SpectS one of the most interesting and
unique homes in Georgia.
1t is situated on a historic spot
Here a generation ago lived eX-
Governor Charles J. Mcdonald, who
was passing when Mr.. Browns father
Joseph E. Brown, the famous wal
governor" was just stepping into the
limelight of popular favor. Despite
the difference in their ages, there eX-
listed a devoted attachment between the
old man and the man just entering
the prime of his physical and mental
powers.
Governor-elect JOS E. Brown wrote
his acceptance of the Democratic nom
inatiOn for his first term as Cover
nor in 1857 in Ex-Governor McDonald's
office, which stood but a few steps
from the residence now occupied by
Joseph M. Brown, where the latter
has just written his announcement fol-
the exalted office which his father sc
ably filled.
Mr. Brown purchased the beautiful
home from General Henry R. Jack
son, GeOrgias gifted "pOet-orator," an6
moved to Marietta in May, 1889, g
few months after his marriage tC
Miss Cora McCOrd of Augusta.
The house is situated on an emf
nence whose slOping eastern front is
shaded by majestic trees. From this
hill is to be had a charming view Of
the famous Kennesaw mountain, two
miles to the northward, and a part oil

Preaching in New York, at the
centennial celebration of that Cath
Ollie diocese, Cardinal Logue, of Ire
land, declared that the crying crime
of the age is its materalism. While
no one will dispute that men today
are eager for wealth it is not i'm
probable that they have been so in
all ages, and that conditions today
are really better than in other per-
iods. Certain it is that at no prev
ious time has there been the same
lavish charity, the same steady up
ward trend in the condition of men
generally. Perhaps We are all too
much inclined to overlook the vast
improvement in general conditions and
join in the hue and cry against the
desire of men to accumulate wealth.

MaIevOIent Venom of ii Renegade
New York Americana

The flag of the Chesapeake, the
ship of Decatur and Lawrence, has
been bought at public auction by Will
liam Waldorf Astor, the little ex-
patriated American, and given by
him to the Royal United Service Mus
cum of Great Britain.
Thus William Waldorf Astor's hat
red of America, where, as all Ameri-
cans now regret, he was born, and
from which he draws his great in
come, in venOmously expressed.
OF the Chesapeake little need be
said 1t was on her deck that Law
renee gave the immortal order, Don't
give up the ship" as he fell with his
death wound in the fight with the
Shannon, June /, 1913, and her ca
reer, though Inflated, was as glorious
as that of any vessel that ever car
ried the Stars and Stripes.
William Waldorf AstOr is the
grandson of a man who made a for
tune selling the skins of foxes and
seals and cOOns and skunks and po-
lar rats, He is the man who removed
from New York because New York
so despised his cheap snobbery and
English airs, all based on that hide
built fortune, that it refused him
election to office. He is the man who
has since denounced America and
Americans, and has spent years and
hundreds of thousands of dollars
sweated out of tenants in this city
fawning upon King Edward, the des-
cendant of George the Third, for a
title.
He bought the flag for $4,250, which
of course, some tenants of his in this
city will have to pay
That this pitiful little renegade
was afforded this opportunity to vent
his spleen on America is to be re-
GREETED but there is some compensa-
ton in the fact that he is no longer
an American citizen and never again
can be one.

An Enthusiastic Farmer.

Vegetable gardens and orchards
wherein are almost all varieties OF
fruits grown in North Georgia, are to
be found on the top and broad sides
of the hill upon which the residence
is situated. Behind the house is a
grove of pecan trees planted by Mr.
Brown in 1892.
On the upland adjoining he has
raised siXty-seven bushels of corn on
an acre Of red land and threshed out
400 bushels of oats from seven acres
At the Atlanta Exposition in 1895
he took the first prize for a Geor-
gia made ham, and the second prize
for wheat
Mr.. Browns tastes run in peaceful
lines, hence his preference for this
quiet home in the shady grove, and to
this no doubt may be attributed much
Of his hesitancy for weeks in answer
ing the call Of the people to become a
central figure in the political field.
Mr.. Brown displays deep interest in
the welfare of Marietta, and has given
literally of his money and time to
its growth He gave $4,000 toward
the erection of a new Baptist church
here, and is vice-president of the Mar
ietta Board of Education. He is a di-

Tobacco blindness" is one of the
evils growing out of the use of the
weed 1t is claimed that there is a
steady increase in the number of men
and boys who are suffering from bad
eyesight or total blindness from ex-

tobacco waste about as much money
as the consumers of liquors are al

The New York American does not
see how Republican newspaper pro-
prietors can consistently ask that the
tariff be taken off wood pulp to Sc
cure lower prices for their own in
terests, and at the same time fail to
stand a similar policy toward other
things which are outrageously high.
That is one of the evil results of
advocating a tariff. AS soon as

Beautiful Home Life

In this beautiful home Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown have lived an ideal life since
their union, nineteen years ago. They
have been blessed by three children,
Joseph Emerson, Charles Mcdonald,
and Cora McCOrd, the eldest boy be-
ing fourteen years Of age. Mr.. Brown
and his wife have endeavOred to
make their home life so attractive to
their children as to make it their
favorite resort, and in this they have
entirely succeeded. Not only their
own children, but the other young
children of Marietta have long ago
learned that a cordial welcome al
ways awaits them at the Brown man
sion, where the happiness of the
young is an especial aim.
While there is little which might
be styled expensive in the residence
there is one feature which has been
for years a source of great enjoyment
to Mr.. Brown. This is his library, in
which he has accumulated during the
past thirty years many rare and val
liable volumes. AS is well known
Mr.. Brown whites away his leisure
time in literary pursuits, and on such
day that he cannot get into the gar
den or fields, he will be found in his
library.
Mr. Brown is very fond of horses
and Jersey cattle and of raising the
food for them. His ideas run to
farming in all of it's branches.
