While Atlanta Is talking about a bo issue for permanent public Improvements, the voters of Houston, Texas, have just gone ahead and authorized the issue of (5,450,000 bonds for similar purpose, by a vote of four to one and more. What Is there about Houston that she should lead Atlanta In the matter of city building? Houston is almost as Urge as Atlanta in population, and has much of the same sort of spirit that has made Atlanta's growth possible; in fact. In the matter of conditions financial and otherwise and of civic needs, Houston and Atlanta stand very much upon the same footing. Houston asked for S3, 000,000 bonds tor wharf and harbor improvements, $1,000,000 for drainage. $1.1100.000 for sewers, $250,000 for parks and $260,000 for schools.

The lowest vote for any of the series in Wednesday's election was 3 to 1. while the school bonds, which proved the most popular, were voted by 5 to 1. Everywhere throughout the city on election day the utmost enthusiasm for the bonds was displayed; and the overwhelming vote for each series gave evidence of a public spirit determined to meet the needs of progress by using the city's credit to bring It about. Atlanta needs right now sewer and water extensions, more schools, more paved streets and better hospital facilities to meet present demands due to the city's expansion and growth, not to speak of the future, and that, too, the very near future, when theBe institutions will be found totally inadequate for the service required. Some of them have already become so, and are now along adopting varied and often doubtful expedients to enable them to satisfy present needs.

Atlanta cannot, any more than could Houston, meet the demand of these institutions for increased facilities from her regular income, every dollar of which ii require! to meet essential maintenance expenditures. It has already been proven that when the city's income fur maintenance is drawn upon for permanent improvements, it creates a deficit, which means Impaired efficiency. It la only necessary in this connection to call attention to the recent and still pending controversy over double sessions in the public schools. There still remain twenty one of these double classes because, according to inadequate school net another problem through its bond a problem which also confronts Atlanta, that of the unemployed. The expenditure of $5,450,000 of bond money will provide work for hundreds men through a period of two or three years.

Atlanta has. perhaps, fully as many, if not more, unemployed than has Houston. With bonds voted and validated now, ready lor the market at the first favorable opportunity, there would be assurance at hand of providing early, if not almost immediate, relief for this class. Financially stronger than Houston, Atlanta lias at her command the same advantages, the same methods and the same opportunity. There is every reason why Atlanta should get busy now with a bond issue commensurate with Its needs.

Set down each department In black and white: let it be known to the dollar what wilt do the work, and the people of Atlanta will vote overwhelmingly progress. AN ARMY WITHIN AN ARMY. There is an army within an army in the European war. which The Baltimore Evening Sun calls "The Grand Army of Religion." and which. "It brought together, would form an army almost as great as Lee's at Getty or le reports thert Waterloo." From 63,000 laplains.

or in the the orgy of religion of MAKERS OF GOOD ROADS. The first annual convention of the American Road Congress to be held in any of the southeastern states will gather In Atlanta this month, bringing here more good roads builders, machinery and material men than have ever before come together in any city in America. The meeting of the road congress in Atlanta will be of mutual advantage both to Its membership and to the state and Its authorities engaged In good roads construction and development. Notwithstanding the fact that Georgia now has under way one of the best systems of road development to be found in any state in the country, there is still room for improvement; and the Information and knowledge to be gained from this assembling of good roads experts from every section will prove of material value to every county in the state that takes advantage of it. On the other hand, the members of the congress, in addition to their mapped out work, will have a valuable opportunity to study the effects of and note the results attained from the county system of working convicts furnished by the state.

There Is a growing disposition on the part of other states to follow Georgia's example in putting the felony convicts on the roads; and this convention will bring here many state officials directly interested in this aspect of the road problem. A large part of the best road development already brought about In Georgia has followed directly upon the work of The Constitution, taken up when the convicts were first placed on the roads, through three annual state wide automobile tours reaching into almost every section of the state. The Constitution was the first newspaper in the sooth to adopt the tour plan as the best method of attracting statewide attention to the Importance of good roads. The first tour covered radial road lines leading into Atlanta from the eastern, southern and western sections of Georgia, more than a hundred cars filled with enthusiasts coming from eight or ten Georgia cities over routes which have since been developed and maintained as important state highways. Following this first tour, each a year apart, there were given under The Constitution's management two tours entirely around the state, each covering from 800 to 1,000 miles of roadway.

Trial runs were made over various routes covering a period of several months each year, and there was alwayc the keenest sort of competition amon? counties and communities to bring their roads up to the standard requirements for placing them upon the routes of tours. While these tours covered the sections to the east, south and west of Atlanta, trial and experimental rums were made hy The Constitution in the northern and northwestern sections of the suite, arousing sinv lar interest in all of the counties traversed. It is a noteworthy fact that, although not Included on any of the tour routes, the roads between Atlanta and Chattanooga which were covered by The Constitution runs, have been so vastly improved as a result of the interest aroused, that the trio today an easy ind satisfactory one. over hard and substantial roads all the way. The direct result of these tours promoted The Constitution has been in each case the development of standard public highways over the very routes traversed; and these roads are pointed out to travelers today as The Constitution routes, with the recommendation always that they be used in preference to others, because, following these tours, they have nearly all been brought to a high state of development and well maintained.

For twenty years The Constitution has led in the effort and the movement to have the convicts of the state put on the public roads. This was at last achieved by the action of the legislature in 1907. and the year following saw 4,000 or more state convicts engaged in this splendid constructive service in Georgia. Thus Georgia's system of road building has been revolutionized until today there Is not a state in the union in which any better work is being done. In fact, fed eral government reports have given Georgia the credit of more actual road mileage de veloped during a given year than any other state in the union.

Georgia, therefore, has someuiing to show the good roads builders. Georgia, too, Is anxious to learn more about the problem; hence, it finds a doable reason for welcoming the coming of the American Road Congress, aside from that of the hospitality which it is always glad to extend visitors. THE CONSTITUTION, ATLANTA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1914. are those of the his army within an army "to give an Ides of the enormous of the forces bent on slaughter and destruction when those whose object Is the salvage of bodies and souls make such a host." With reference to another phase of the great conflict a well known English clergyman, in a letter from which our Baltimore contemporary gives an extract, says: gentleness, meek reli nesa and self suppression." Thus, what has been criticised as "unchristian warfare," has its high placed Christian defenders. In this, however, the war kings and their connsellors anticipated them.

They were quick to talk of "Christian duty," and to bring God into the strife, losing sight of the fact that the highest Christian duty was first to exhaust an honorable ways and I irr a il I The Holland Letter!
