A TRAFFIC SUGGESTION.

Editor Atlanta Georgian:
To relieve the ever-increaslnE
congestion of auto travel In the
business center OF the city, and
to check the con stantly increas-
Ing danger incident thereto,
have some suggestions to offer
that I believe worthy OF consid-
GRAFTON by the city authorities,
to wit.
Require all autos going south
on Peachtree. when they reach
the intersection of Peachtree,
Forsyth and Pryor streets-in
front of the Grand Opera House
to proceed down Forsyth or
down PeaChtree 10 the junction
of Broad, thence down FORSYTH or
Broad, forbidding them TO go
south on Pryor OF on Peachtree
beyond Broad.
Require all northbound autos
from the central or western sec
tons OF the city TO use Peach
tree or Pryor streets and forbid
them tho use OF Broad and For
syth.
Prohibit the parking of autos
on that side OF PeaChtree, For
syth Broad. Pryor or Whitehall
streets on which they are permit
ted 70 run.
Forbid pedestrians crossing
any OF those streets. except at
points Of intersection with other
streets

KEEP MISSIONARIES AT HOME.

Editor Atlanta Georgian:
In answer to your editorial
about child labor, I gathered
from what you wrote that you
desired a few suggestions on the
subject. l make suggestion
that the States quit sending
missionaries to China and other
foreign countries and do a little
missionary work at home. II

get along much better as a whole

90 this. She wants TO appear 8
a philanthropicsl country, and
she is doing it, but at the saCri-
fee OF her own citizens. I was
talking with Il recruiting officer
the other day, and he told me
that 80 per cent of the men who
applied for enlistment were turn
ed down on account Of illiteracy
The United States will be cor
rupt until she passes a law
whereby q poor man can make

Until then this country is going
on just as II has been, only i

TT is greatly to the credit Of
the proprietors of the Colum-
bia Theater, San Francisco, that
they ventured to offer TO the thea
ter-going public the Mission Play"
This pageant-play is sweet and
pure and charming-and deeply
religious. 1t is greatly to the cred
it Of the theater-going public of
San Francisco that on the opening
night crowded house received the
play with unanimous approval and
fine enthusiasm.
The daring which produced the
piece, the crowded house, the pro
found enjoyment Of it in all its
parts, are significant. These things
are immensely encouraging. They
justify our belief in the essential
rightness of our common human
nature. They stimulate every
movement directed toward the
elevation of taste and the improve
ment of character They lend fire
and wings to our conviction that
the great majority of men and
women at the present time would
rather have the good than the bad,
and rather do the right than the
wrong-the choice put squarely
before them. One remembers with
more than a thrill of satisfaction
that the best plays draw the big
gest crowds. Forbes-Robertson in
THE Passing of the Third Floor
Back" and Maude Adams in Chan
tecler," and a dozen other good and
great performances during the last
year or two, and the vast crowds
which they have commanded dem
onstrate that there Is no need for
theater managers to wallow In I'M
pleasantness They can make
money while they are making men
and women happier and better.
1t is the same all over America.
In the big cities and in smaller
places experience has shown that
the exploitation of female immod-
esty is not essential to a dramatic
success! One feels a deeper Joy
in living as one sees that the pest

the Oakland road, were destroyed by
fire, Saturday night and Sunday morn

900, the insurance being $4,000. The
fire caught in the barn from some
unknown cause, and when discovered
by one Of the occupants of the house,
at 1045 p. NJ, had gained such a
Roadway that it was impossible to
check the flames, especially in view
of the fact that the place is about
three miles from the center of the
city, and the same distance from OAK
land. The Waterville fire department
was summoned, and went part of the
way out. stopping when the fire linn
