aDown With the Railroads. ]"
ATLANTA Constituent

When we said better let well
enough alone"-with everybody at
work, and at good wages, and the
state enjoying its high-water marx
of rosperity-the Herald echoed the
CRY. down with the railroads-they
are plundering the state and not CIV
ing the people the right kind of SER
vice; let our policy prevail and we
will show you what we will do TO
them!"
The demonstration has been made!
And what is the result?
No more mountaineering and the
bonds authorized for that purpose are
drugs on the market,
All terminal, shop and extension
work stopped.
Thousands of idle laborers!
Nineteen thousand men on the Sou
thern system alone thrown out, and
the salary of every other employee,
from president down, cut 10 per
cent
And what in the way of better ser
vice?
Up TO two years ago the schedule
time between Atlanta and New York
was twenty-four hours. Now it takes
two and half hours longer TO make
=
where.
Scarcely a week has passed during
the past several months that applica-
ton has not been made TO entirely dis
continue existing trains in all parts
of the state-and in most instances
the railroad commission has given
permission accordingly-one railroad
actually operating tri-weekly sched-
ule.
Train after train has been taken
off, or consolidated with others, and
actual bankruptcy has stared some
of the companies in the face!
And yet not one cent has been saw
ed the people in freight rate reduc-
ton!
If the railroads were stealing, as
Editor Phinizy's policy held, the rob-
berry was permitted to continue be-
cause the panic came on and they
needed the money" If they were
not stealing, then his policy was
based on a foundation of sand!
No paper in the state has criticized
the evils of railroad management,
where criticism was deserved, more
readily than The Constitution, and
none stands more ready to do so
now.
But even the Herald's policy has
had a tuck or two taken in it, and
there are signs in the air that even
the most radical of the 'reformers"
are coming to their senses, and are
willing to stop just this side of tear
ing up the railroad tracks,
And the state has abundant reason
to thank God for that!

beside the statues Of Wellington and
Marlborough and Lord Nelson, is
almost unthinkable. 1t is more than
likely that Americans would even re-
sent it. Washington is our hero; he
fought for our cause and he belongs
exclusively to us. We will let Eng
lishmen admire him to their hearts
content, but we do not want the
Englishman'S government, against
which he hurled all his mighty pow
ers in our defense, to build monu-
ments to him.
1t may be so with Lee. He is the
very idol of idols in the South. 1t
is not consistent with our national
dignity to honor him as a warrior
whose sword was great in our cause.
But the South owes it to him to keep
him high in the hearts of its sons. 1t
would be guilty of unspeakable in
gratitude were it to ever forget his
services. But as jealousy is some
times the test of love, it may be that
jealousy would arise in the Southern
er's breast should the nation wish
to enshrine him too.

INSPECTION SUCCESS.
Big Decrease In Accidents Is Shown
More Help Needed for Work.

OLYMPIA, June 23.-Reports
from the office of the state labor con-
missioner indicate that the state far
tory inspection act established at the
1905 legislature is observed and APP
preciated by both the employer and
employe, as shown by the collection
of fees, which have been received al
the commissioners office at the rate
of over $500 per day the first few
days of the present month from the
manufacturers for the renewal Of
certificates, large number expiring
during the month of June, as the law
went into effect June, 1905.
Statistics show that at the end OF
the first two years As per cent. de-
crease in accidents was visible. 1t
is the belief of Commissioner Hub
bard that the present time will show
at least IS per cent. decrease in &C
cidents. Most accidents now occur
outside of mills where machinery IS
used, as in logging camps, where 10
safety appliances could be provided.
Four inspectors are constantly en-
ployed and more are needed. While
the collections from fees have ex-
eocucu 'ue appropriation dilo"cu ~
commissioner to employ inspectors 70
carry on the work. and many more
factories and large increase in man
ufacturing have been established
since 1905. the same appropriation
governs, making the present force in
sufficient to do full justice to the
law. While charitable societies are
devising plans to provide for the Grip
pied and manned. the factory in
spection law is doing far more effect
i've and humane work by preventing
men from being crippled and becom-
ing objects of charity. Any one who
will notice the number of accidents
that appear In the daily papers now
as compared to few years ago Will
see very perceptible decrease.

Evidence in the damages SANDER
suit of James Henderson against J.
B. George, an outgrowth of the Mic
OLAF disappearance case, was COM
pleted Tuesday afternoon in the SUI
perior court. The arguments were
presented by Attorney Snively for the
plaintiff and Attorney Englehart for
the defense, and this morning Judge
Preble will give the case to the jury.
The instructions and charge will be
made at the opening of court.
Absolutely contrary evidence has
been presented by the plaintiff and
the defense in the case The chief
witnesses for Henderson's side were
Deputy Sheriff Grant, Marshal Walk
er of Sunnyside, Contractor McKivor
and a little girl of IL years, who
claimed to have overheard a CONVEX
sation between George and Mrs. S. J.
Harrison relative to the case.
Denials were made by George, by
Mrs. Harrison and by w. H. Cline,
who was claimed by Contractor Nc
kivor to have been present when
George made certain charges.
The history of the Nicolai case was
gone into to some extent, both in evil
dence and arguments and charges
that had been made against Hender-
son as druggist were repeated.
Attorneys for both sides seem con-
hdent of victory in the case, which
has been one of the hardest contest
ed in the courts in this section.
