ence to make a most capable Chief Execu-
tive of this City
HIS LETTER.:
Atlanta, Ca. Oct 18th 1912.
Hon. J. R. Smith,
Chairman Chambers Campaign
Committee,
City.
Dear Mr.. Smith:
My attention has been called to the
fact that Mr.. Woodward's Campaign Com
mlttee has published excerpts from pub
Hshed statements recently made by me, to
the effect that tEere was measure of merit
in some of the criticisms recently made by
Mr. Woodward with reference to the CITY
government
Lest my meaning should be misunder-
Stood wish to say at the time of making
the statements accredited to me, and which
were reported substantially correct, had
just returned to the City Hall from an ex-
animation of the work in progress on
Peachtree Street, between Harris and Ba-
ker Streets, where had discovered that
the work had not progressed toward COM
pletion to the extent I thought it should
I was annoyed over this situation, and
when asked what thought of certain state
ments accredited to Mr.. Woodward, used
substantially the language as published in
the newspapers.
This was not intended, however, as as
senting to, or approving all of the criti-
cisms made by Mr.. Woodward On the
contrary, I wish to say that during the
past two years, the terms of the bond ordi-
nance have been strictly complied with by
the bond commission and the general coun-
Gil, and the bond money has been honestly
and economically expended as the people of
the city directed when they voted the
bonds
Contracts for it's expenditure have al
ways been let, after the fullest advertise
ment and broadcast publicity to the lowest
possible bidder, and in many instances at
a considerable saving over the estimate on
the particular work under consideration.
No man connected with the City Gov
eminent was more insistent and careful in
seeing that the terms and conditions of the
bond ordinance were fully complied with
than was Mr.. Chambers He has been
Chairman of the Sewer Committee during
the past two years, said committee having
the supervision of work of constructing
sewers and building sewage disposal plants,
and is entitled to the commentator of the
people of this city for the care: close at
tention, business foresight and ability that
has characterized the discharge of his du
ties as Chairman of this most important
committee.
During his two years service in the
City Council under my administration, MI.
Chambers has been progressive and at the
same time safe and conservative man of
initiative, courage and ability, who is fitted
by worth, training and experience to make
a most capable Chief Executive Of this
City.

Work Accomplishes Everything.

There are great number OF such words OF
wisdom, some of which have been repeated
so often as to become platitudes- Anciently
We were taught to say, How doth the little
busy bee improve each shining hour" and
modernIy We learn that the rising man is
the worker Innumerable creeds about work
are being formulated.
Any one who tries to penetrate the present
must see how an-pervading this idea of
work is-that without 1t nothing of account
can be hoped for that makes for fundamen-
tal happiness. What is one mans work is.
fortunately, not another's, but it is won
derful how pervading Is this idea Of the pos
sibilities in work, work without hesitation,
work without cowardice. The coward of
today is he who runs from industrious ef-
fort. and he is as arrant coward as ever
existed in any day.
If I were to address the modern spirit 1
should say something like this: When you.
Modern Spirit shall have completed your ap-
pointed mission, when from possessing the
leaders you possess the people, there is going
to be the best world that ever was You,

the most exciting thing. the thing We all
want? Let me tell YOU Modern Spirit, what

Began to Analyze Business.

And when began to analyze our bust
ness the fact that the great majority Of oTr
sales were made on big jobs-jobs where
there was so much competition that profits
were shaved down 10 almost nothing-be
gan to make itself apparent.
Talking It over with the contractors on
whom I called. found that there were many
hundreds OF small jobs all over our territory
every month that the architects never even
heard Of
go Hundreds Of small jobs hit me right
hard Small jobs sounded like gooi
profit SO l began TO investigate. foun-
that these small jobs were nearly all mel
who were building homes, and when talked
with number OF them it became apparent
that their plans were bought ready made
from the different people who specialize In
them. I took down the figures and prices
paid by these people. and when We took a
summary Of the costs and selling prices
found that profits were SO high that on one
half the business We were doing in my de-
partment based on small jobs we could
make just as much money. There was
long profit in these small jobs and tbs
little lumber yards here and there and every
where throughout the city and the state were
getting the business. Other large houses
like ourselves were too busy figuring ON the
big orders to get after the other class OF
business.
II went to Mr. Shearer. who was at that
time president and practically sole owner
Of the concern I worked for, and showed him
my figures.
"I really thought that I had a startler up
my sleeve. He glanced at the figures and
smiled 'Jeffers' he said, i've known OF
this condition ever since went in this bust
ness. So does every other man connected
with it But the cost OF getting these small
jobs is so high that by the time We get
through We lose money. Your news is old.
but If you could-mind you. don't believe
you can-but II you could find way to get
this business economically-and II you can
get enough of it-well. there's room for .

Genius Requires Work.

Genius is a great ornament to a man. It
is the exceptional endowment which may
enhance all effort many fold. but It is only
an innate force 1t must be exercised, 1t
REQUIRES activity to develop It. It requires
TO be worked in harness. as It were.
It has been said OF Nathaniel Hawthorne
that his genius was augmented by patient
and painstaking effort. For thirteen labor
ious years he lived hermit's life. practicing
the art in which he perfected himself, so that
he could give a wonderful product to the
world Robert Louis Stevenson practiced
Just as assiduously his chosen art Of writ
ing. Men who DO not write seldom leave US
records which show how industrious they
are, but any one who can read in their great
sum of accomplishment the items which
make it has no difficulty in realizing that
there have been steady days Of never ending
labor.
A man who has worked thus and attained,
has some reason to be impatient when a
fellow man says. Aren't you lucky dog?'
But waiting on luck never brought It. In
one of Hawtho-ne's stories he says: " The
contrast between him and his former partner
may be briefly marked. for Brown never
reckoned on luck, yet always had 1t, while
Peter made luck the main condition Of his
projects and always missed it"
The men who come to depend upon ever
variable circumstance are gamblers. Good
fortune rarely comes by single turn of the
wheel II is cumulative thing. Evil for
tune seems to be the same, for We say that it
never rains but it pours; misfortunes never
come singly, etc. A succession of days of
hard work, unless there is persistence to the
end, may not seem to amount to much any
more than half built tower would be salts
factory, but when some sort Of completion is
reached it is possible to realize how cumu-
lstive was each days work.
The man Of high ideals, who wishes to be-
come great, reaches forward toward some
thing very distant and durable. The fact
that distant goal will be difficult of attain
ment and the days long is stimulus to him.
And even when complete attainment is
known to be impossible he will choose this
end just as readily. rejoicing in the fact that
he can spend his life in continuous labor for
the sake Of nearing II, and in consequent
living progress ever to the end. But even
the well at the worlds end has been reached
The difference between men Of very small
place in the world and those of really high
place is Just this: The one can see only
that which is Immediately present. some
thing that it requires but a single effort to
get not the long succession Of efforts that
reach out toward the greatest and best things
life has to give as a reward for determined
and unremitting industry.

Turned Up an Opportunity.

so although hadn't unearthed anything
new, I had turned up an opportunity. I
thought a minute and turning back to Mr..
Shearer said, = 1t will cost money to find the
way. How much Will you let me have to
experiment on?'
He answered quickly. 7 don't want to
raise your hopes. Frankly I don't believe
You'll find the way. but I will give you $1,000
to spend and charge 1t against the profits OF
your department So went back 10 my desk
with that vice president thing ringing in
my ears and feeling that this was going
to lead to something. My first 500 was
wasted-no. not wasted-but 1t brought no
tangible returns. I spent it on a mana
salesman. Started him out TO hunt up the
small jobs and sell them. Just as Mr..
Shearer said, 1t cost too much. But the in
formation that my man gathered in the three
months he was out was well worth while.
- found that the nub OF the whole
situation was the plan and specification for
the house So 1 invested 500 with young
architect knew, and had him prepare four
sets Of plans for very moderate priced homes
Just such as the majority OF the small jobs
were based on
Then another 500 was spent on getting
out piece Of literature showing drawings OF
these homes completed. and offering to send

Accepted the Offer.

Now that $500 bill OF materials carried
one-third profit. Excusing myself stepped
TO the next room and called up our president
When l told him what the proposition was
he laughed. Still after the small Jobs, eh ?
thought you'd forgotten all that long ago.
Go ahead So accepted and had $500 to my
credit with the best paper In our community

ment stating that people who were contem-

free of charge an illustrated book of homes at
prices ranging from 500 to ZOO.

surprising quantities. We prepared letter

Tricks Deceive Trickster.

Perhaps such a young man may seem, Tor
a time to succeed in trying his fashy trick
on the world. II circumstances favor. but ne
is the worst deceived of men, being SELF
deceived His tricks do work well. but he
does not know II. He does not see his marks
They may have brought some immediate
results that helped him to deceive himself,
but at best results that were trivial and In
no sense cumulative as the best results al
WAYS are They dwarfed rather than in
creased his growth. In the end his egotism
and selfish love of small exertions instead
of great have helped to strand him at that
midnoon of his life when he ought 10 be
under sail for long and successful voyage.
Take the other. He had more of that ele-
rnent somewhat maligned and misunder-
stood called conscience. 1t worked blindly
for him. perhaps. 1t was part Of that intu-
ition which the latest of great modern phil
csophers makes the basis Of all things OF life.
And he had one other very great thing, the
power. or the will. to keep everlastingly at it.
The one man. according TO the record, kept
al it TO the point where future keeping at 1t
would be expected, while the other did keep
at it, not only while in school but most sin
cerely, purposefully, determinedly kept at 1t,
where no schedule of classes kept him going.
where rather deadening schedules. involving
q continual going over and over the same
thing, seemed to prohibit advance In a
word. the one was always and ever indus
trious, and the other was always substituting
a shallow natural gift for industry. and was
perfectly satisfied with the results.
James Russell Lowell has said Of industry
that IT is the twin brother of genius. Our
greatest American inventor, Edison, has said
something to the effect that what has been
counted genius is but per cent genius and
9S per cent hard work.
