that the remarkable work of the lat

charter. The very small vote proves
that"
Though politician generally are
greatly disappointed by the result OF
the election. the general opinion IS
that they will continue to stand nrm
against any radical charter reforms.
Like Alderman Nutting, they do not
interpret the election as a reputation
of their stand against the sort o.
charter urged by Mayor WOODWARD
and his supporters.
Judge George Hil'ver, chairman o.
the campaign committee that sup
ported the charter, gave out unique
and interesting interview on the re-
suit. He said:
Judge Hillyer's Comment.
THE proposed charter did not so
far enough, and l think the result IS
due to the fact that the people are op-
posed to the commission form Of gov
eminent. They ar against making
the changes suggested, even though
an Improvement, for fear 1t might
open the way to another fight tor
placing despotic power in the hands
Of a few. So they preferred to let tEe
present charter stand
If it had been proposed to in
crease the membership of the Council
so that about every 800 voters could
have their own Councilman, locally
elected by them, without dictation
from the outside or by anyone bit
themselves, and thus make the form
of government even E-ore represen =
tatiVe and democratic than II is, then
the result might have been different.
But the city is tired of charter agi-
tation. The despotic commission form
of government will be defeated, in my
opinion, worse than it was two years
ago. If the misguided factions who
want it ever force the issue upon the
people again"

that restored the hearing of the little
girl one Of the most remarkable in
the history of the profession. The
physician who cured her has sue
cessfully operated on nearly a dozen
cases in the past ten years, and his
theory and an instrument which he
invented have been accepted in Eu-
rope.
There has, however been consid-
cradle opposition to the work in
America.
Most of the patients treated by the
Macon physician are placed in Miss
Arbaugh's school, where they are
taught a vocabulary and trained in
use of the lowers that have been re-
stored to them.
Among the children who are now
in the school are Robert Robertson,
of Weustou, Ga, and Julia Canty, of
Macon. Specialists had pronounced
the case of the latter girl incurable
but after the operation her hearing
was as good as anybody's.

Death Blow to "Rina.n Saws MAYOR

Charles 7. Hopkins, one of the
leaders in the movement for genuine
charter reform. was inclined to think
that the defeat of the main amend
ments defeated the initiative and ref
erendum and the Recorders court
provisions irrespective of the vote
upon them. There seemed to be
we'll defined split in opinions upon the
meaning of the election.
However, the ballot distinctly SAYS:
You can vote on one or all of these
questions" This would certainly seem
to leave the impression that each was
an independent question.
The adoption of the initiative ref
erendum and recall provisions is liza
BILE to play a significant part in future
politics Of Atlanta. BY the signing of
petition by 25 per cent OF the reg
istered voters citizens may call an
election on the recall of any Council
man, board member or head of a de
partment. If majority of the voters
declare for his recall he Is recalled
and his successor is elected by the
same method provided for the filling
of vacancies in any other instance.
All such vacancies will be filled either
by Council or the board in charge OF
the department affected.
People Can Call Election.
The initiative provision gives the
people the right to call an election to
pass any ordinance that may be de-
sired by getting up a petition signed
by 10 per cent of the registered
voters
If Council passes an unpopular act
of legislation the people can call an
election to determine whether it shall
be sustained or declared void by get
nc ~ AF -
the registered voters. This is the
referendum.
Marks Entrance of Reform.
The action of the voters Yesterday
in adopting these measures that have
become 80 popular in many of the
Western states marks the entrance of
this reform into Georgia government
1t was expected that there would
be a light vote Wednesday, but the
fact that only 300 ballots were cast
was a surprise to leaders of both
factions The election managers al
lowed only 1851 votes TO countfi 10
tickets being improperly marked.
After the noon hour charter advo-
Gates admitted privately that the doc
ument would be defeated. But they
would not admit the adverse vote was
due to the bitter fight made on it
by Woodward.
we educated the people so well
against a new charter during the last
two commission government agita-
tons that they are afraid of any new
charter said Alderman James r.
Nutting. They would have voted
against commission government
Wednesday just as readily as they did
against the new charter.
No Credit Given Attacks.
Mayor Woodward's charges that
this new charter was the instrument
of a ring has had little to do with
the voting. l don't believe the intel
ligent people of Atlanta take that
charge seriously.
IF there is any real significance in
the election of Wednesday, it is that
the people of Atlanta. are satisfied
With the present form of government
They don't want any sort Of new

5000 instead Of $500 and his maximum
stockade sentence 80 instead Of 60
days, is a victory for them. The Re
corder can not impose sentences Of
more than 80 days now, but Council
under the old law, had the right to
increase the limit to 60 days. The re-
suit of the election is to make the
limit arbitrary. This provision was
adopted separately. according to City
Attorney Mayson, just as the initia-
tive. referendum and recall clause
Although It was the genera i'm
preston that these amendments Wee
killed because the main charter
amendment was defeated, City Attor-
