Ed Walton's Letter
CONTINUATION OF HIS BREEZY
NOTES FROM ATLANTA

One of Atlanta's solidest citizens Is
an old Lancaster boy. DR.. w. s. Elkin,
who has not only made fame but for
tune here. He stands at the head of
the NJ. DIS of the state and is admired
by all who have the pleasure of his
acquaintance. The doctor married
sister OF Mrs. r. e. Warren. of Stan
ford, and has many friends in good
old Lincoln county. DR.. Elkin only a
few weeks ago sold his beautiful
I'eachtree street home for 100000.
lie owns one of the largest sanitar-
Inns in Atlanta and no physician here
has larger or better practice.
The Gate City OF the South" is
soon to have another immense thea
ter. She already has a half dozen
or so playhouses and dozens of NOV
ing picture shows and still they come
A deal htas been pending since the
late theatrical war and Atlanta is yet
to have her biggest and best Temple
of Thespis.
On April 23rd. last, four negroes
murdered and robbed a street car
iuotorman and 1t was at first thought
fatally wounded the conductor. The
conductor got well and last week
testified at the trial OF his assaiIants
The negroes were tried separately
and verdict OF detlth was given each
II is not thought they will have q new
trial and the chances are that the
quartet will hang from the same
gallows ere many moons shall wax
and wane. r
A reading room for street car en-
ployes is something new under the
sun but Atlanta has II all right Spleen
didiy equipped quarters are az their
disposal and the best OF books and
periodicals are at their demand. No
city OF anything like its size can boast
better car system than Atlantas
and Il Is but Just that men who do
such satisfactory work have some
comfortable place where they can
spend their idle moments with pleas
ure and profit alike.
The governors race Is on In earnest
There are three candidates now:
Present Incumbent Brown. Hoke
Smith. formersgovernor and secretary
OF the interior In Grover Cleyeiand's
first cabinet, and Attorney General
Hart. The primary will be held Aug.
23rd and a hot time ia expected from
now till then. Smith and Brown are
not at all friendly but one or the 9TH
er will knock the persimmon. Hart,
who claims to be the emissary or
peace. hasn't show on his life to
win.

In number of instances homes have
been flooded before the overflow was
noticed. and Mr.. Schiffner has during
the past week received numerous calls.
Practically all residences are sup
piled with ."shut off, facilities, but
people make but little use of this por-
ton of the system, preferring to rely
upon the safety of allowing water to

necessary to take official action TO pre-
vent the practice of allowing water to

by the backing up" of water that

desired the inspector to take steps tc

examination into the cause of the over
flow soon showed that more water was
flowing into the sewers than could be
handled properly.

Grover mixed the signals somewhere in
the preparation for the public.
According to reports received at the
weather office this morning from out
side points, Walla Walla was the cold
est point in the Inland Empire last
night. The mercury dropped to nine
above zero the third coolest of the
winter, and as a result the plumbers
are today harvesting another reward
Notwithstanding the fact that yester-
days forecase called for warmer tenn

/ session to postal banks or statehood
for Arizona and New Mexico which, it
will be recalled, We're promised in the
republican national platform in as
clear-cut English as could possibly
have been employed.
Political blindness is the only ex-
| preston l can think of to describe the
action of the republican leaders in
persisting in their plan to pass ship
subsidy bill at this time said Repre-
sentative Henry T. Rainey of Illinois,
one of the best posted men in the house
on shipping and navigation laws. 1.-The
leaders in charge of the majority side
of the house are simply drunk with
power. They need only little more
rope. and the job will be complete"
IF this ship subsidy bill is passed"
said Mr.. Rainey, where will the
S., 900. 900 that is to be paid annually to
the shin owners, come from? The sub
sidists answer: Why. it is not plan
ned to take money from the public
treasury. It is planned to use the
profit of the foreign mail branch of the
postoffice department. which is ap-
proximately $5,O00,O00.'
'sThis is no answer to the question,
however. The postoffice department is
running at a loss of $17,500; that was
the deficit last year. If you take the
S., 100000 of profit derived from the
foreign mail service to give to ship
owners. it will simply mean the deficit
will be increased by that amount. Any
school boy can see that.
Now if we give 100000 to these
shipowners, someone must foot the bill.
And the government has no funds ex
cept those which it collects BY taxing
the people.
In few words, therefore. ship
subsidy legislation is law to further
exploit and Cypress all the people for
the further enrichment of multi-mil-
lionaires.
"The experience of France alone
shows that the idea is wrong. Her
heavy subsidies, though draining the
treasury. have utterly failed to produce
the result anticipated while the COM
MERGE of Norway in proportion to Its
wealth and inhabitants makes an eX-
ceptionally fine showing, without any
subsidies whatever.
