CORTLAND S. WYNN
The Necessity For a NezU Civ
Charter
By CORTLAND S. WYNN,
Mayor of Atlanta in I911-i9I2

Editor The Georgian:
| am asked by you to make such
suggestions of changes as may oc-
cur to me as necessary in the city's
charter in order to insure d more
direct, efficient and business like
administration of municipal at
fairs.
1t has not required a term of
service in the office of mayor of
this city to convince me that
prompt and radical changes in the
city's charter are desirable, and
must be had, before the people can
have a government that is suited
to the public demands and respon-
sive to the public will. My two
years service as mayor however,
has more forcibly impressed me
that it is not only desirable, but
absolutely necessary for the public
good that there should be changes
i'll the present charter.
There are many good features in
the charter that could and should
be retained and incorporated in IL
new charter. To my mind, the main
objection to the present charter is
failure and inability TO fix respon-
sibility, lost motion, too much red
tape and a circuitous, round about,
never-ending method of doing
things.
One Illustration.
For illustration. if a citizen by
some error of measurement or cal
culation is forced to pay an excess
charge for a street pavement. be
the amount ever so small, he must
file a petition with the clerk of
council, setting forth the facts and
asking that the city refund to him
the excess charge he has paid.
Council will meet within two weeks
after the petition is filed. The pc
tition is then read in council and
referred to an appropriate commit
tee for consideration and report.
This committee will meet within the
next two weeks, when the petition
ing citizen will be heard Us to his
complaint. The committee will
make its report and recommends
ton to the next meeting of council,
and if the report recommends the
payment Of any sum, however
small, it requires separate action of
the two bodies and must first be

For Nerves.

A case of nerves" is like a bad
habit, easily acquired and hard to
get rid Of. Nervousness affects the
digestion, dulls the eyes, giving a
strained look to the muscles of the
face, and, if allowed it's course, will
even make the hair thin So the wo-
man who wants to be beautiful must
keep an eye on the state of her
nerves.
The best cure for nervousness is
rest Resting is an art known to few
women.
The only way a woman may re-
pose and relax the body and nerves
is by actual will power.
Carrots are prescribed by physi-
clans and beauty doctors alike as a
cure for nervous Indigestion You are
told to eat them three times a day,
either cooked or raw.
Young onions or scullions are ex.
cellent eaten with plenty of salt; also
lettuce with salt and plenty of olive
oil, but no vinegar and red pepper.
Sleeplessness is the greatest men.
ace that tired or overweight nerves
have for beauty and health.
Sleep may be induced by warm
milk; slipped slowly, or, if this is in
effective, by long draughts of cool
water and a cold bandage around the
brow.

PRIZE SERMON WAS DONE FOR
Presence Of Policeman Took the A..
tentlon Of the Congregation From
the Words Of the Pastor.

On a recent Sunday the pastor OF a
New York church preached a sermon
which he had hoped would be partlcu.
larry effective. Shortly after launching
upon his theme he found that the au.
dience, while not creating any real
disturbance, was by no means atten.
tive. All OF his hearers kept turning
their heads every little while and
glancing furtively toward the rear Of
the church, Finally the pastor cast a
penetrating glance OF his own into
that vague region. He discerned a
policeman sitting In pew near the
door. Il knew then" he said, when
speaking Of the incident afterward,
that the prize sermon was done for.
80 far as It's hold on my congregation
was concerned The policeman had
their attention until the end Of the
service. II is a curious fact that no
where does a policeman create such a
sensation as In a church He may 60

New York.-Col. Edward II. B.
Green of Texas and New York city,
son of Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest
woman in the world, and her active as
sociate in a vast money lending bust
ness that extends across the country,
has decided views of financing the
American farmer. He has practical
get-up-and-doit ideas that have big,
substantial bearing ON the subject.
Although in business within
stones throw of the New York stock
exchange, Colonel Green never enters
its portals. He is opposed to stock gam

ming a railroad that got its tonnage
from carrying products of the soil,
gave him a viewpoint quite at vari-
ance with the ideas of the exchange
floor.
The farmer still rocks the cradle Of
our country, but l often wonder how
he does it so we'll with no financial
scheme whatever in existence for his
particular benefit" he said. Every
body is telling how to finance the far
mer these days 1t is almost as popu-
lar a topic as better tenements' for
the city and good roads for motor
club members to use and farmers to
pay for In all have read and heard
no one seems yet to have got down to
brass tacks with a real financial uplift
plan for the farmer
Two phases of the farmers predica.
nent have enlisted my personal inter
est because they run directly counter
to the way my mother has always
handled her wealth in relation to the
public good.
First Is the rate of interest the
farmer has to pay for money he Dor
rows. Government statistics show
that 100000 farmers of the United
States pay an average interest rate
of Gl6 per cent upon borrowed cap
ital of about 1912 100000 to work
crops on land valued at 100000 1000
Since my mother began her career as
a business woman she has never asked
more than per cent a year fer the
use of her money. The bulk of her
loans have been at rates considerably
below per cent. In France and Ger
many the farmer gets all the money he
wants at from * to Az per cent
The second phase of the problem
l have observed is the action of banks
throughout the country in sending

distinctions without differences. For
instance, on such an important issue
as the increase OF the land tax the
same party has been working, now in
support, now in opposition. All par
ties and factions having too often
been found guilty of opportunism.
Another peculiar feature of parties
in Japan is the almost complete lack
OF grouping on economic class lines
There have been geographical lineups,
which have been partly economic, and
there have been attempts to line up
the business men together But, as
indicated above, even the land tax is
sue has not succeeded in forming any
permanent alignment, and the tariff
question has not yet affected the po.
litical situation.
The burning topic of socialism has
not made any perceptible impression
on the political world of Japan. Sew
eral years ago a socialistic party was
organized, but was speedily forbidden
and suppressed by the government.
Moreover, the anarchist conspiracy
against the emperor only served to
increase the severity of the officials
toward socialists of all hnds-good,
bad or Indifferent. Therefore, there is
no socialist party.

London bus Nanlshinn.

In view of the inquiry now in prog
ress in London in connection with the
city's motor traffic, including the ques-
ton of the motor bus, it is of inter
est to note that while in 1903 there
were $500 horse buses plying the
streets of the metropolis this number
has now been reduced to 100, and it is
expected that by the beginning of 1914
the horse bus will have finally van
ished. Richard Tilling, whose we'll,
known firm started the famous Till
ing buses in the year of the great
exhibition with a single one-horse ON
nibus, recently stated that there will
not be a single omnibus horse seen in
London by the end of this year" Old
horse buses are now used as bunga-
lows and cricket pavilions, and though
the average original cost of each was
500, they are now sold for about SIS

William c. Redfield, the new secre-
tary of commerce, began making his
way in the world at fifteen. At that
age he was employed as a clerk in the
Pittsfeld (Mass) postoffce at three
dollars a week. His next step was as
salesman for a paper company. From
Pittsfeld he went to New York, secur
ing a similar place with a paper
house. Some time later he became an
accountant for a tool manufacturing
company, rose to the presidency of the
concern, and after thirty years as a
manufacturer resigned, having been
elected to congress.

Rather Than Principles.

to Many-Result lie Considerable
confusion-Dfferen Periods Of
country's Political Progress.

Tokyo, Japan.-Japanese politics Is
we'll nigh inexplicable to many per
sons. especially occidentals. The sud
den and frequent changes OF cabinets,
in part or In whole, are difficult to I'M
derstand. And, while wo can make
no claim to a perfect understanding Of
the mysteries, we may be able to
throw a little light on the subject.
In the first place, it should be kept
in mind that political parties in Japan
ere more personal than political. Fac
lions and parties have formed around
men rather than measures, around
persons more than principles. The his
tory of political parties in New Japan
may be divided into. five periods. as
follows:
1867-1SS2-Embryonic period.
Notwithstanding period.
1S9O-1S9S-Developing period.
Observation-Disclosures period.
1911-Predominant period.
The chief political parties which
have been organized in Japan during
the past 30 years have all illustrated
the point just mentioned. The first
party in the field was the jiyuto, or
liberal party, which was organized by
Count (then Mr. Itagaki, and which
consisted largely of his personal fol
lowing. The next party was the
shimpoto, or progressive party,
which was started by Mr.. (now COUNT
Okuma and his friends. The chief diff
ference in these two parties, so far as
principles were concerned, was that
the liberals were more radical than
the progressives; but the greater diff
ference was the personal one. In more
recent days it has been Ito and his
proteges who have dominated the
seiyukai. Small factions have rallied
around smaller men; while personal
considerations have largely caused
splits in factions and parties.
AS ex-Mayor Ozaki has pointed out,
this feature is a not unnatural surviv-
al of the feudal system. And it was
Ozah himself who has just led bolt

principles, have been too loose Or

Heat lightning is ascribed to distant
lightning flashes which are below the
horizon, but illuminate the higher
strata of clouds so that their bright
ness is visible at great distances; they
produce no sound, probably In conse.
