MARSHALL: Atlanta is happy and honored to have as its guest to-day the vicepresident of the United States, and Lis visit is the more pleasing in that he is a democrat, not merely in the political but in the broad human sense of the term. Vice-President Marshall is first, last and always an American citixen, interested in the tilings that concern the rank and file, constantly devoted to the general good and gifted with a keen sense of fellowship for of all sorts and conditions. His progress from high office to high office, in his own state and in the republic has left his native simplicity unspoiled and his interest in the homelike affairs of ordinary folk undomlnished. He speaks in popular idiom because he thinks in terms of the country#’ workaday life and feels in terms of the people’s homes and hearts. The occasion of the vice-president's visit is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Agnes Scott college. Mr. Marshall's interest in educational affairs lias been life-long. His speech and influence have counted for much in the country's coiiegiate affairs. It •» peculiarly appropriate that he should deliver the principal address in the celebration of a college that has play-d 1 so splendid a part in the education of southern womanhood. —Atlanta Journal. ■■■■■. - ■ - WORTH WHILE; A great life purpose made Jacob Riis a national character. The tiling that distinguished him from a million other young fellows who came to America to make their fortunes was his interest in those to whom he gave the name of "the other half.” He made it his job to see that conditions' of living in some, at least, of the NewYork tenement districts were made ' easier. It wasn't a task imposed on him by somebody else, which he did perfunctorily and abandoned as soon as he could. His enthusiasm came from within. The improvement of housing conditions became a real passion with him. Riia might have ex- , claimed with Ruskin that he could not : paint or read or look at minerals or I do anything else that be liked because ’ of the misery that he knew of and saw signs of where he knew it not. So ( this unknown reporter, by his auergetic devotions to his cause, achlev- i ed fine results in New York city aud 1 made his work known all over the United States. His life was a splendid |
