Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1908-05-14
From The Chilren'S Point of View.


the chidren's point of view,' says Christine Ter
hume Herrick in the Woman's Home Companion.
Gin the first place, why do people want chill
dren! How many bring them into the world with
the thot that for the sake of the country they
should offspring, and that patriotism demands
large family? l would also like to know how
many bear children with the thot that their pro
geny will not only make the world better place
to live in but WILL on their own account, be SO
happy so useful so valuable to themselves that
the parents could not feel justified in refusing
them existence.
eff these questions were answered truthtullY,
believe that in nine hundred and ninety nine
cases out of thousand it would be shown that
parents desired children for the sake of their own
personal happiness (when they think of the mat
ter at all)-for what the children would mean to
them of Joy and interest Such feelings entire
Iy natural, but they can hardly be counted to the
parents for righteousness. If a man and woman
choose to have children because ofhe pleasure they
will themselves receive from it, L do not think
they should be looked upon as civic benefactors
but only as ordinary human beings who have made
wise investments on their own accout which turn
out to be also an advantage to the community at
large"
Mr. Union Man. what would the complex
ion of the railroad commission be if Joe Brown
were to be elected governors Is it not a fact that
Joe Brown has always been i'll the employ of the
railroads in capacity to fit him for opposing the
interests of union men when question of wages
came up! Would YOU like to undertake to settle
question between yourself and your employer
with the third the commssion) party made up of
friends of your employer? Ever think of that?
With all the fun made by the photographers of
the "Atlanta Spirit" there is one thing that
not be overlooked and that is that it is just such
undauntedness that makes city of theimportance
of Atlanta ''The Atlanta Spirit" has again risen
up and out of the ashes of two million dollar fire
greater city will be built.
The Macon News one of the strongest dalies
in Georgia, has come out for Hoke Smith. ItSup-
ported Clark Howell in the last campaign. In its
editorial columns last Monday commenting the
gubernatorial race, among other things it said:
'!The News supported Clark Howell last
campaign, but is frank enough to acknOw-
ledge good deeds in the opposition of the edi
tor that time. Mr.. Smith has made an exec
lent governor, one that you can tie to and trust
and the News thinks he should have COTTON
his second term without struggle, but since
contention is necessary The News is willing to
keep him."
The Enterprise shown by the citizens of
Athens in issuing one hundred and fifty thou,
sand dollars in bonds for educational; sewer

ton far and wide of the people aud city
today in the south is enjoying more attention
and prosperity than is Authorizations Ban

Was it because the people of Atlanta now
drink so much water that the supply
