WORK FOR CONSERVATIVES

Editor Journal: desire to heartily commend

of caring for her tubercular poor.
The effective work you have done for the PAST
several months N keeping public attention
focused on this all-impOrtant subject has been
far-reaching and am sure fully appreciated
by all who have been awake to the baleful re-
suits of this disease among our people.

viduals, assumes gigantic proportions as a so

am sure that the majority of the medical
profession will agree with me that this Is
indeed a question of such vital Importance that

fact that this is a preventable disease.
Inasnuch I have at divers times and IN
sundry places urged the necessity of the state
caring for her tubercular poor and now that
the batter has assumed definite shape think
it perfectly natural that 1, with the many
others who have worked for the same end,

the labor question. Once. in the George
Junior Republic of New York, the young
citizens posted themselves on the New
Zealand eight-hour system. 1t seemed
particularly fine, so the legislature met
and enacted a similar law. The day it
went into effect the republic arose at
$50, the girls cooked breakfast and
the boys did their various tasks until din
ner. After dinner they went to work
again. but knocked off early in the af-
ternoon. At supper-time they assembled
to find the dining room and kitchen
empty, with never a crumb in sight.
The eight-hour law had applied also to
the girls and their domestic helpers. A
supperless night caused an extra session
of the legislature to be called early next
day, and the obnoxious law was re-
pealed.
In these republics certain boys lease
the hotels, employ help, and board the
others. Usually there are three grades
of these hotels, and ambition makes a fell
low want to work hard enough to eat at
the best. The merchants are citizens, and
there has been little chance of monopoly
of any one industry so far, for, as in the
case Of the boy who cornered the market
on backing and charged twenty-five cents
a shine, the legislature promptly put
prohibitive tariff on backing, and the
citizens Of the republic went with I'M
shined shoes until the monopolist came
to terms. A respect for the republic and
the principles of honor and manliness that
it represents is somehow soon inculcated
in each citizen. Perhaps 1t is because he
has a pride in having helped make it.
At any rate boys who have deserted have
more than once come back of their own
will. Recently one walked eighteen miles
to give himself up again to the boy Of
ficers of the National Junior Republic. He
had learned that vagrancy and inaction
were disgrace and he preferred to fin
ish his course in the republic to going to
the bad on the outside.
The Junior republic had its origin with
William R. George, of Freeville, New
York, in 1890. He had been taking boys
and girls from the New York slums to
his country home every summer, where
they lived at the expense of the commu-
nifty.

VISITS GEORGIA
AFTER LONG ABSENCE

An interesting caller at the capitol
Tuesday was a gray-haired little New
York lady who, with her two daughters,
is making a tour Of Georgia and the
south. She had seen Atlanta BEFORE
good many years before, in fact, for she
was here when Sherman's army passed
through the city.
She was the widow of Cyrus 8.

the Confederate service. He mad court

south had grown to love the country
and had located in Georgia in the lum-
Der business. Identifying himself with

brownsville. 1t was 10 that town he
brought his girl bride, when she had
graduated and he had gone back north
TO marry her. And five years afterward
the war broke out, and there came Gov
ernor Browns call for volunteers to
defend the state. The valiant young
northerner had his own convictions and
he was brave enough to follow them.
Under the stars and bars he enlisted,
and a very few weeks later, while he
was detached on recruiting service at
Calhoun, Ca, he died under the stars
and bars. He had barely begun his
service for the lost cause when pneu-
nonia claimed him. He was buried at
Calhoun, and there his body rests to-
day.
Mrs. Graves first view Of Atlanta was
between the Hopping ears of a mule
that pulled her here from Thomasville
through the country. She bore a pass
signed by President Davis, carrying her
through all Confederate lines and COM
mending her to the courtesy of federal
officers. She was going north, back TO
her people, but with her heart buried
among their enemies in Dixie.
