HEALTH INSURANCE
FOR WAGE EARNERS
"Health insurance for wage earn

surance already and so successfully
has the measure worked benefits to
the people that every civilized, indus
trial country in the old world, with
a few exceptions, is now confronted
vith this new type of social legisla
tion.
"Among the benefits derived from
this system of health insurance has
been noticed a check upon the increase
of degenerative diseases among wage
earners of middle life. Health in
surance brines medical care within
the reach of a large number who are
unable to afford this luxury on the
present basHs of taymenfl. Medical
care is paid for in advance of an in
surance basis, calling for only small
weekly contr.butions. Such condi
tions encourage wage earners to seek
medical advice and treatment when
suspicious symptoms occur, and not
defer till treatment and cure are not
to be had.
"Health insurance" says the board.

weapon with which to fight the pre
mature diseases of adult life."

men of Atlanta sa.d,. "No let's have
a business administration under the
system we have; let's give it an hon
est, fair trial. Let's try one bus
iness man for mayor, and give the
politicians a much-needed rest."
Asa G. Candler, who has made a
success of every business enterprise
he has ever touched; who has more
money invested in Atlanta and Atlan
ta realty than any other 10 men, per
haps, who, 25 years ago, was a drug
store clerk and today is the richest
man south of the Mason and Dixon's
line; who never sought nor held a
public office during his 62 years of
life: who is anything but a politician
. Asa G. Candler was the man unan-
.mously chosen by business Atlanta
to make the fight against the poli-fcians.
Candler demurredr-at first flaMy
refused. He shunned the publicity,
the notoriety, the mud and slime of a
political campaign. But after days of
persuasion, and when the matter was
put up to him on the basis of his
duty to the city he yielded. Subse
quently it was that Atlanta witnessed
the refreshing spectacle uinque in
Amer.can history of a c Mrs hrst
cit.zen and richest man, a hard-working,
industrious old patriot, worth
not a penny under $30,000,000 down
in the wards, speaking night after
night and noon-day after noon-day
asking the people to elect him to an
office paying a salary of $4,000 a year
He appealed to the small trades
men in overalls, the modest home-owner
the "ninety per cent " for votes,
to ''save Atlanta and restore confi
dence." These were the votes he was
after, because he had the others be
fore he accepted the nominat on. And
upon that vote the battle hinged, be
cause, runn.ng against Candler was
a union linotype operator, a man of
clean character and considerable abil
ity, who is a member of city council,
and who claimed the "solid support"
of labor and the voters of small
means. His appeal was Jlhat. the
alone was "the people's candidate,
the poor man's friend and salvation,"
while opposing him was "capitalism
personified!"
For 10 stirring days the battle went
on, and It was the most spectacular
campaign ever waged in Dixie the
successful business man, with a re
cord for performance, against the
printer, with high-sounding promises.
Each apepaiing for labors support;
the one on the high ground of conn-
dence, consc entiousness, investment,
smokestacks; the other on the cries
of "money-rule," ''rights of labor,"
"b g wages," plutocracy."
The poll books showed approxlma
tely 12,000 registered white voters
and this was distinctly a "white
primary. ah unprecedented num
ber of these 11,533 went to the
polls and voted: Candler, 7 821; his
opponent 3,712; that is hoy they vot
ed!
Only one of the ten city wards did
Candler fail to carry; it was a "land
slide" the like of which Atlanta never
before had seen. It was an h therto
unheard of triumph for sound bus
iness over sounding brass.
Asa G. Candler, being the only nom
inee, will be elected mayor of Atlan

He has made only one promise to the
people, and declares he will make no
more. That promise is this: "As

HIS LIFE FOR FRANCE !
Columbia State.
Paris and Winston-Salem, North
Carolina! How far apart they are,
and with so little in common, and
yet what sad news had the one for
the other, when, the other dav. a
cablegram was received by a mother
in that .North Carolina town announc-!
mg that her aviator son had been
killed in the clouds above Alsace,
wh le fighting for France. Another
instance, that the sight of a mother
mourning the death of her son is not
confined to the countries of Europe
or even to those that are engaged in
the war.
Kiffen Rockwell was amone- the
first Americans to volunteer for ser
vice in France, antS whle servine-
gallantly with the American legion
was wounded and later transferred to
the flying corps, in which arm of ser
vice he was dest ned to distinguish
himself. It was only recently that
he was presented with a medal in
recognition of the bravery and skill
that had brought down four enemy
aeroplanes. He met his death, was
fighting without the flattering knowl
edge that a few hours previously he
had been promoted to the rank of
second lieutenant.
That young Rockwell, who was liv
ing in Atlanta at the beginning of
the war and was but 24 years of age
when he met his death, was fight
ng for a country not his own and
da ly risking his life in the most
per'lous branch of the service
heightens the honor that he achieved
'and intensifies the tlragedy of his
death. " If it is a generous spirit
of adventure that leads a man to
leave his home and country and give
h s services to the defense of a foreign
nd, to fight bravely as one in the
ranks, and after being wounded, to
engaged in the st'll more dangerous
work r. the cloude it is a spirit that
compels one's admiration.
8he aviator's mother, who was in
Winston-Salem at the time of his
death, only a short while before the
cablegram had received a letter from
her son, in wh'ch he said that he was
soon to be sent to a more active sec
t on of the war zone. That it was
also a theatre of the fighting where
tne danger was proportionately as
great is revealed by the news that
followed so closly upon h"s final let
ter. But such is the toli of war, and
to war it made no difference that
young Rockwell had not been born
and reared in France.
