BEVERIDGE VKMUIBEVAK.
It aeema to have been definitely arranged that In one of the greater
magazines of the country, Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, and Mr. Beveridge,
of Indiana, will engaga la a aeries of Joint debates on paper over -the
principles and prospects of tbs Democratic and Republican parties at
the present time.
It in needless to any that the prospective contest la eliciting great
Interest gad attention and that the magazine has made a ton-strike la
seen ring the ezduelve rights to the verbal klnetoecope of tbla politico-
oratorical duel.
Of course, there are varying opinion* u to the outcome of the coo-
test, and antithetical opinions aa to wfetch of these two at*teamen will
be voted at the end to have had the beat of the encounter. Singularly
enough It Is the Democrats wbo art apprehensive a boat Bryan and the
Republican* wbo are expressing doubts of Beveridge's capacity to hold
hla own.
To our mind the contest ought to be a very even one so far ai
tbe character and equipment Of the two are concerned. They are
bdlh orators rather than writer*.
Senator Beveridge beiooga to tbe .Wendell PhUUpa type of oratory
with IHtl* action and few gestures, hot with great reserve force and
magnetism, nod nsen admirable Engl (ah and aometlmea an ornate and
beautiful rhetoric. -
Mr. Bryan le more essentially an orator ta the dramatic force and
action of hla delivery, tad I* undoubtedly possessed upon tha platform
of grantor magnetism than the Indiana senator.
In an oratorical contest we would not hestIUte upon the mere qua*-
uon of effect ns a tut of oratory, to propfeeey victory for the Nebriskan
orer the Indlantan.
In tbe Held of letters Mr. Beveridge has seme point* of advantage
over Mr. Bryan. He hu bun a prolific and ah unusually vtgoroba con
tributor to tho magazine* since bla first entrance Into tbe senate ten
years ago. In fact It Is an open.aeeret among Mr. Beveridge's friends
that tbe .larger part of hla Income la derived rather from. the periodi
cals than from hla senatorial salary, and that ha hu sustained hlmielf no
well and bun so eagerly sought after In this line indicate* that he bad
bun a popular and' highly successful writer for the magazine* Upon
the mere basis of experience and the knowledge of the trick* of the pen
and tbe twists of the magasln* audience, we should Imaglns that the id-~
vantage of eapertnu* ruled as much with Mr. Beveridge In the pen u It
would with Mr. Bryan with tbe tongue.
One tblng It eure. If there should be any decided advantage resting
with either party In tbla most Interesting controversy. It will Inure mag
nificently to the political advantage of the victor. Senator Beveridge
especially hu a great stake at luue In the' reeult of the series. If be
should In the Impartial Judgment of the pfebllc happen In any way to
best Mr. Bryan In tbla matter. It would go very far toward tnakiog Mm
tbe most popular man In tbe Republican party, and petbap* the logical
nominee of bla party for tbe pruldency. That party, already at sea,
and looking for some man more popular than any on* now In sight,
would be practically certain to light on the Indiana champion If he should
bur himself with very conspicuous ability against tbit most redoubtable
of all antagonists. Senator. Beveridge doe* not belong to the radical ele
ment of hie own pnrty. irhlch menu that h« li sot a "radical oauaeii-
atlve." He hu trained with President Rooeevelf and la supposed to be
very much In sympathy with tbe president's attitude end hu given
vigorous eigne o( en Independence of the caucus dictate* of hla party.
It la not likely that tbe ruulta of tbe contest will very materially
affect Mr. Bryan. If be wins It simply gild* with an additional lnstar a
prestige already without approximate rivalry In tbe ranks of hi* party.
If the verbal duel should result in a draw or even In a trilling advan
tage for the Indiana senator. It will not be accepted u general by tbe
Idolatrous followers of Mr. Bryan throughout tbe country.
And whatever the Intellectual fortunu of the conflict, It ta perfectly
certain that the Impreuion of superior sincerity will reat with the great
leader of, au-daflnlte democracy.
To sum up the situation, Mr. Beveridge ha* everything to gain and
not much to tou by thin encounter. He la sufficiently utute to realise
that success In thin matter will advance him eo far In the affection of
the Republican rank* u to put Fairbanks' teeth on edge and to pull
down the scales of popularity even against the gigantic Taft

*T personally sacrMce my Decided love of the histrionic, and
do not attend even tbe good plays that come to Atlanta, because
there are eo many who would mistake uy approval of the good as
an Indorsement of theatergoing as an Institution, without dis
crimination.”—Rev. John E. White, D. D.
"Here." aaya Tbe Constitution, "la where we differ from Dr. White."
And- here, ways The Georgian, 1* exactly where we agree with Dr.
Whit*.
Further than this, we share the view that when preachers gen
erally Indorse the theater because It le not whdlly bad. and because some
plays are good, there will be no one left to resent the vast number of
play* that are wholly evil.
Above all we believe that th|g of all tlmea la not the time for. the
preachers to become more worldly Instead of becoming more spiritual
and consecrated. The drift away rrom the old creeds Is fast enough.
The lapse of the old time religion le pronounced enough as It Is, and we
are moving all too fast In some directions toward a church tbnt "will
not Interfere either with your politics or your business."
When the preacher* are turned loose In the theater*, It won't be long
before they are at the race track which "hna eome noble features" In
the game courage of the beautiful animals and the cool courage of the
little Jockeys. And then, you know, It la a "grant training to (ha Judg
ment" to "bet dlecreetly and aticoMifully" upon the results.
Dr. Broughton scores a strong point In quoting Edwin (tooth and
llenry Irving upon the danger and demoralisation of the itage. and the
watchful care which they exercised over their children In attending It.
The position of The Georgian la not on* of opposition to the thea
ter. What w# Aland for la the preservation of the pulpit in Its purity and
Integrity—aa an example and an Influence In the world.
Worldly amusements and frivolities are not for tbe orthodox minis

PLAN FOR SECURING SITE
FOR AUDITORIUM-ARMORY
To tha Editor of The Georgian:
I am a constant reader of your paper,
and knowing It takes a great deal of
Interest in tha public welfare of Atlanta
and Its cltlsens, I desire to present ta
you my views upon tba selection of a
alia for tha Atlanta auditorium and
armory.
Municipal ownership la tba ordar~oF
the day all over the country. What
does It mean? Public enterprise!
revenue-producing qualities for the
benefit of the cltlsens wherever estab
lished.
Therefore, why saddle upon the
county of Fulton, the city or Atlanta
and Ita tax-payers an enterprise that
will cost them not less than 111,041
per annum, at tha least, making a total
of not less than 1450.000 of Interest, be
aldea 4250,000 of bonds when paid off,
say within thirty yaara?
We already have an enterprise that
la a dead revenue proposition that coal
the county, city nnd tax-payers of At
lanta at least 115.000 per annum, wblch
could, and should, be made a revenue-
producing property. We need both ot
these enterprises and should bava them,
but why not make a bualneaa proposi
tion of them, producing revenue suffi
cient to care for thalr expenaee and re
pairs? If tha auditorium were con
structed upon' such a proposition, by
the time the bonds become due tho
property centrally located, would b>
worth not less than from to three times
what It would coat today.- We need
nn auditorium that would teat at least
5.000 lo 0.000 people. One of auch a
elan would be eufflclent for the neat
fifty years.
Chicago, the greatest convention city
In the West, ha* one of the finest of
auditoriums, with a seating capacity
of leu than 4,000, which la sufficient
for a city of two million people. Its
revenue-producing qualities are such
that they pay all expanses and a hand
some dividend annually. It la about two
hundred feet In length by on* hundred
In width, with boxes and galleries, so
that an auditorium of on* hundred and
fifty feet in width by one hundred trod
■oventy.flve In length’ would aaat not
leu than from 7,000 to 8,000 people.
Therefore, a lot two hundred feet
square would be eufilolent for such an
auditorium.
Build an auditorium In the center of
the city and get a revenue that will
care for tha building and Interest on
the bond and whan the bonds ar* paid
off, the property will be ever eo much
more valuable than at the present day.
A committee ot thru could readily
secure a plat of ground and arrange
by giving the rental (or a certain
length of lime to secure the ground
free; the property to be In control of
the city; the rentals to pay for the
property, and after doing so, a revenue
of not leu than from ten to fifteen
thousand per .annum would go to pay
off the bond* for building purpose* and
care for the enterprises, thus uvlng to
ths city and tax-payers not lam than
4750,000. Instud of causing them to
spend over a million and have nothing
to show for ume.
The council should look well Into any
scheme that contemplates placing such
Indebtednem on the tax-payers of At
lanta when they can get an auditorium
from the start, and within four min
utes’ wain at every hotel sod depot lu
the city.
Hoping you will take tht* matter up
for the Interest of Atlanta, 1 remain,
Tours respectfully.

HOW CARMACK CAPTURED
HIS COLLEGE DIPLOMA
FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE.
There comet to The Georgian from .substantial and Influential
sources the moat gratifying evidence that public attention haa been
largely and practically aroused to the prevalence and spread ot tuber
cular diseases and to tbe absolute neeeulty of providing both sanitary
prevention and remedy.
Strong men and thoughtful men In and oi^t ot the profession* have
expreuod an Interest In this matter, and at an early date a meeting of
practical business men will be held to consider and set on foot a move
ment to give some deflnlte shape and direction to the humanity and pub
lic spirit of the city and <4f the people toward this groat and vital affair.
We are not ready at this time to announce the line of suggestion or
action in this nutter, but we take occasion-, to Inform our friends that
this wholesome and vital Intereat will not nlute short of tome deflnlte
policy and conduct In Ibe premise.
AN ERROR CHEERFULLY CORRECTED.
A correapondettt of The Constitution quotes * recent local Item In
The Georgian to the effect that there was not-ta existence any complete
map nf Georgia nor any one that showed our new county of Ben Hill.
And The Constitution's cnrrvl|>ondent call* attention to the new
map Issued by that pa|ier, and wonders why The Georgian does not
do justice to It* cx(steuce.
l'pon this hint. The Georglnn sent nt once tor a copy of The Con
stitution's map.' and having seen It cheerfully nukes the correction. We
would not under any consideration do an Injustice to our ever esteemed
contcmiiorary In any statement, and hsMng made one which would seem to
to he based upon a certain all too prevalent habit ot Ignoring the vlr
turn and achievements nf one's con tempura ties, we now lake pleasure lu
saytug that The Constitution has published a moat admirable and com
plete map ot tho state of Georgia Including the new county of lien Hill
fully up lo date In every particular, and that It deserves credit for Ita
taste and enterprise, and that we shall cheerfully hang upon the walla
ot our own sanctum The Constitution's map which baa Just com* fee
the Drat Ume to our attention.

Washington, Ksb. 4.—A man who
will lie really missed In the senate after
March 4 It Edward Ward Carmack, of
Tennessee. The following Incident ot
his early life I* of Interest and throws
some light nn his character. U lo
vouched for by a number of senators
who are well acquainted with the Ten-
neaaee atatesman:
Young Carmack was sent to Webb'a
school at Cullenka, Tenn. Professor
Webb la one of the noted educators of
the South, and he ta still conducting a
school at Bellbuckle. Tenn. Professor
Webb Is said to be a strict disciplin
arian, and generally during the course
of a scholaatlc year he expels on an
average ot from twenty-live to thirty *
students for violation of rules.
Hontehow Mr. Carmack managed to
dodge the expulsion bomb throughout
the year* of hie term. He wa* a bril
liant student and was selected as the
class orator at the graduation exer
cise*. After hit selection for this post
of honor Professor Webb gave him
special Instructions about preparing his
oration. He was to get It ready In
plenty of time. etc. Two weeks before
the day set for the exercise* Webb tent
for Carmack and asked to see his
speech. Not a llo- of It had been
written and the professor was furious.

But another week paieed and still
no speech was prepared, and the day
before the commencement he was for
mally expelled.
When the clae* assembled the next
day, however, to receive diplomas. In
the presence of their friends and a
distinguished gathering from all over
the state, Carmack appeared, marching
at Its head. l.
Professor Webb said afterwards that
he tRi) not wish tu make a "scene"
before tho 'distinguished company by
flrlng Carmack bodily out of the room,
so he sought to get rid of him In
other way and at the same time It
him an Impresalve lesson.
"Mr. Carmack." said the professor,
‘‘will now deliver the class oration."
Much, to Professor .Webb's amuse
ment. Mr. Carmack got up and de
livered off-hand one of the finest class
orations that had ever been heard In
the school. He was forgiven on -the
spot and received his diploma.
The speech was entirely Impromptu.
Mr. Carmnck aaya, and even to this
day he rarely writes hla speeches oui
In advance, and when he does he Is api
to deliver n different speech from the
one outlined when he gelt up to speak.
