Here we catch the whole secret
of japanese success, a secret which
has enabled them with vertiginous
rapidity, to place their country In
the forefront of modern progress,
and to improve, in some respects,
upon their models. 1t is the same
secret which, according to the great
philosopher historian, Montesauieu,
made Rome great.
Whenever the Romans" saws
Montesquieu, found among the
peoples whom they subdued any
thing that seemed to be an i'm

been accustomed to, they imme-
diately adopted it and turned it to
their own use"

Romans before them, ever thought
of wholly revolutionizing their own

The Crematory and City's
Health

Editor The Georgian:
I desire to offer my approval Of
your very sensible and patriotic ed
itorial on the subject of how, when
and why Atlanta should be proyid-
ed with new facilities for destroy
ing the garbage of the city.
1t seems to me strange that any
man, pretending to be sane, and at
the same time patriotic, should OBJ
ject to the retention of the old Gre
matory plant for usage while the
new is being built.
The record shows that this plant.

LABELED mo GOOD" by the
health board.
Competent engineers say that for
$4,000 it can be put in such repair
as to make it do the work 1t did
when first built.
Think! In the face of these bold.
uHulSpuleu IdcIS, the board of
health has passed an order Of con-
demnation that has caused the old
crematory to be shut down, while
the garbage of city of It's, 900 peo-
pie is being planted-yes, planted
for germ breeding by-and- by
waiting on the building Of the new.
Did any factory or business in
stitution ever close down the old
while a new plant or occupation
place was being built? Could any
business expand under such
senseless rule?

has been made to build on the old
site. and it is 4 legal contract, and

struck on the breast by no less a
parsonage than he himself, while
the defy is thrown down, begads
that the old crematory. worth $50,
600, must be RACED TO THE
GROUND, SIR.
It's true, City Attorney Mayson
says, the contract is legal. lis
true, Engineer Benjamin says, there
IS room enough on the city's prop
erty to build the new while the old
is retained for necessary garbage
destruction. 'Tis reported that the
proposed plant will cost Atlanta
100000 more than a similar plant
cost Milwaukee. 'Tis alleged that
this contract is so excessive In
profit that the Destructor COMPANY
has offered $4,000 to have it
financed.
These things are of small con-
cern-for Judge Gambler is insist
ent that the contract is a lega.
one-and that Attorney Mayson
and Engineer Benjamin need TO
look again.
But Judge Gambler has spoken
and before his potential ipse diNt
the honor view of all other mem
bers of council must yield.
And the health of Atlanta, in a
fever-laden summer, that is sure
to follow this reckless, unbusiness-
like plan of doing without protec-
ton until a protecJorate is built is
to pay the rueful cost-and on &c
ad captandum argument Of judge
Gambler, which, whatever his Wis.,

one of the greatest sea
fighters Of the age, an Asiatic, with
no drop Of Aryan blood in his veins.
who has shown that he can handle
fleet Of modern battleships, con-
structed, armed and manned on
European and American principles,
as well as a Farragut, a Dewey or
q Nelson could do it. All the world
admires and honors him as a hero,
patriot and a man OF genius. We
see him just issuing from the gate
of the palace OF the Japanese SEN
ate in Toxic, where, with his col
leagues. who are following him, he
has doubtless been engaged in con-
sidering matters Of vast Importance
to his great country.
Nobody questions that Admiral
Togo is a man who must be reck-
oned with by the nations Of the
world. If any Of them should think
Of making war upon Japan the i'm
age Of Togo and his fighting fleet
would rise menacingly before their
eyes. The bravest naval officer,
trained In western schools and
western methods Of war, would
steer his ships into japanese wa
tiers with an anxious heart If he
knew that Togo was there waiting
for him.
And yet, notwithstanding our re-
spect for this great Japanese, when
we look at this photograph of him,
a smile comes upon our lips. There
rs something about 1t which amuses
our Occidental minds in spite of the
honor which we instinctively pay~to
the man. our attention is distract
ed from him TO his conveyance. He
reminds us. irresistibly, Of a man
taking q ride in q baby carriage.
The Old Form Remains.
It is the national vehicle OF his
country, the jinricksha. 1t has been
used for generations. To the Jap
anese eye there is nothing undigni-
fed about 1t. The man who is able
to ride In jinricksha is envied by
his countrymen. 1t is as honorable
o distinction in Toxic to be swiftly
1rawn through the streets In gilt
tering 1inricksha by q running
coolie as to ride behind a spank
ing team of $4,000 horses in New
York. But people usually Judge
things not by their suitability to
surrounding circumstances but by
their accord with inherited ideas
and prejudices Foreigners who
have ridden in these man drawn
vehicles all agree that, after they
got over laughing at the funny
spectacle which they thought they
were making Of themselves, they
found the experience altogether de-
lightful The motion Is smooth and
easy, and there is no danger of
running people down In narrow,
crowded streets.
But observe now how the spirit of
western invention has affected even
this characteristic and traditional
institution of old Japan. The
wheels of Admiral Togo's jinrick-
sha are furnished with modern rub
Der tires and braced with light
steel spokes, like an American BIZ
cycle. The folded leather ton.
which he can have put up in an
instant to shield off the sun or
the rain, is constructed after the
plan of our best buggy tops Only
the old form remains; the materials
and the workmanship are bor-
rowed from the western world.
So, too, the palace, as far as we
can see it In the picture. Look at

Editor The Georgian:
MYTH reference to the contro-
wv versy that is now going on
between the health board
and certain members of the alder
manic board relative to the build
ing Of new disposal plant or Gre
matory for the disposal of the city's
refuse and the present plans OF the
health board to demolish entirely
, the present crematory, the only one
the city has, before the new build
ing is even begun. beg to say that
as the health of the city is of para
mount Importance and should be
considered first and above all 9TH
ers, whether financial or political,
the removal OF the present crema-
tory and the depriving of this city
for any length Of time of plant in
which to dispose of it's garbage is
nothing short of crime
1 am reliably informed that the
present crematory is capable OF
burning 90 per cent of the city's
garbage and was doing this at the
time 1t was shut down by the board
of health, and that with slight re-
pairs and intelligent handling, can
burn practically all of the refuse. 1
think 1t would be well for the citi-
zens as well as the city officials to
consider carefully the plight the
city will be in if they permit the
present crematory to be wrecked.
And in the Meantime?
First, what is to be done with the
garbage while the new plant is In
course of construction? DR.. Gill
bert says 1t will be dumped around
the outskirts of the city and prop
erly fumigated. What does Dr.
Gilbert mean by the outskirts OF
the city? AS a matter OF fact a
part of it is being dumped in the
valley between the end Of Forrest
avenue and the west end of Will
liams Mill road and within a few
hundred feet of the houses Of citi-
zens who, while they can not live on
Peachtree street, are citizens and
pay taxes just the same and death
to them or in their families is just
as much bereavement as it is to
their more favored neighbors, the
refuse from whose homes Is dump
ed at their doors. I call attention
to this particular dumping ground,
as know it personally There
must necessarily be numerous ones
like this about the city and they
must be worked overtime If the
crematory is demolished. Are these
dumping heaps being fumigated?
Go and see. Only last Sunday one
Of them caught fire out near Eighth
street and filled the neighborhood
so full of foul smoke that 1t was
necessary for one Of the citizens to
come to the city at midnight Sun
day night and get permission for
the fire department to go out and
eXtinguish this fire. Where was
DR.. Gilbert and his fumigating out
fit?
Second there has been a good
deal said by those interested In
building this new disposal plant
about the danger Of dumping the
city's refuse about the city next
summer. Now, assuming that this
new disposal plant is ready to dis
pose of all the refuse by next May,
for which we have no guarantee,
what is going to become Of this
garbage that will accumulate in the
time intervening between the de-
struction Of the old plant and the
completion of the new? Is it going
to rot and disappear during the
winter months, or is It not going to
be in just about the proper condi-
ton to rot and putrefy and breed
