“A SIDE FIGHT OVER THE SUB-TREASURY.
John Templa Graves, of Tbe AtlanU Georgian, who was a dele
gate from AUanU to represent tbat dty before tbe congressional
committee a* an advocate of his flourishing town as a site for the
proposed new sub-treasury, takes occasion to criticise tbe efforts
of Birmingham and- attempts to discount tbe effort of ex-Governor
Johnston by rather ridiculing bis remarks la advocacy of this dty
a* tbe proper piece for tbe proposed Institution.
Tbe writer of this article has known John Temple Graves sine*
his babyhood, and learned to love btm and to admire bit intellect
many year* before be ever saw Joe Johnston. Grave* Is a grand-
nephew of John C. Calhoun, tbe great South Carolinian, who prov
ed a great factor in the early days of this republic, and this
younger dladple of tba former advocate of great principles is es
pecially a power In tbe arena of oratory and poaaeaaes many of
tbe gift* of the unde.
However. John Tsmple Graves should know »that everything
emanating from Birmingham's representative cltlxen la of a prac
tical. rather than of a theoretics! nature, and that figures In
tbaaa days count more than oratory-. He must also learn tbat Jos.
F. Johnston baa bean through th* rubs, on tbe field of battle In
defense of the cause advocated by Mr. Graves' distinguished
grand-uncle. In dvle. Industrial and political life, and that be un
derstands commercial affairs as well as he did how to draw bis
sword In defense of the cause he and Mr. Calhoun espoused.—
Birmingham Dally American. ■
The American evidently did not read The Georgian'* comment on
Governor Jobnaton. Our critidam pf tbe governor was not for hts "over
pradlcal line of argument." but tar the utter lack or practical argument,
and th* expenditure of.hla whole time In an amiable, delightful hut ut
terly Irrelevant speech.
IfMi We fully Wileve that tbe governor could have made an able
■PkW&ail'tlfiAMli.toe material on which to base It. With a paucity of
facts, the governor wsp forced to fsil bsck upon hit wealth of sentiment
and Imagination, and this be did most gracefully, receiving our applause.
We have slated tbe governor for a leading place si tho speaker’s table
of the banquet which will celebrate the location of the sub-treasury lu

DELMAB AND HIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY IN IBM.
Tbit California lawyer. Dolphin X. Delmas, directing the Thaw de
fense In New York, bad a great opportunity to become a great man at
tbe St. Ixiul* convention of 1904. and be came very near to utilising It.
But not quit*. j
n win bo remembered that at the Democratic convention of 1904, a lit
tle over half of the small section of tbe great hall la which the convention
was held, was pledged and Iron-bound In Ita preformed loyalty to Alton B.
Pdrkar. Two-fifths of the convention and the whole vast audience of 17,-
0t)0. people that dieted about aad engulfed the convention, was riotous
ly and rampantly for Bryan or Cockrell or Hesrat or anybody save Par-
The reading public will remember bow by the records Bryan utterly
eclipsed everybody else In the convention—bow his oratory swept floor
" and gallcrywhcncvcrfieipolce, end bow the great eudlenee whose dim.
or drowned everybody else sunk to silence at bla lightest whisper.
Tbe Hearst delegates In that body, 104 strong, had chosen Delphln X.
Delmas, of California, to make the nominating speech for their candidate.
A dosen dull and comparatively uninteresting speeches had been flung
off Into the chaps of sound and Inattention. Cbamp Clark, Indeed, had
made an electric and thrilling presentation of Cockrell, of Missouri, who
never bad a chance or a following, hut with ibat exception not a ripple of
real Interest or enthuilaim had stirred the great ball.
Then. Anally amid the buah and expectation aroused by tbe pictur
esque surroundings of th* candidate of a definite democracy. Delphln X.
Delmas, of California, rose to nominate Hearst. Th* fame of him. Indefl-
nlte and vague, had crept out Into (he convention and had somehow
touched the floor* and the galleries, and upon th* strength of It the great
audience, wonderful to relate, gave him profound and hushed attention.
And as be stepped to the floor with his Impressive and Xapoelonlc
face, calm and magnetic, be had the opportunity of hla life. He began
beautifully..
Lifting hla Anger and pointing as he spoke until It seemed aa If he al
most touched the other end of the horlsou, be said In deep and thrilling
toues: ,
"California. California," be said It thrice—"California, for the first
time lu her history, presents a native son for th* presidency of the United
States."
The sentence In Its brevity, comprehensiveness and magnetism swept
the audience like a west wind and Hie orator had caught them with
hla opening word. He went on for five minutes In a strain of Impressive
eloquence that rivaled Bryan’s, and If he could have sustained It he
would have stood shoulder to shoulder with the famous Xebraskan as the
hero of the convention, and would have carried home a national and en
during fame.
But suddenly, somewhere, and without warning or explanation, the
magnetism died from tbe speaker s manner, the thrill left his voice, the
pulse of Ills oratory fell from exalted heights lo mediocrity, and he
spoke for ten minutes longer on the dead level of Ike tedious speeches
that had gone before. Anti from the most superb beginning which auy
orator had made In that great assembly, and from the moat highly raised
expectation that bad come in the convention's life, the California orator
whose power was put Into bis oiienlng word, dropped from the heights to
(he level plain and became a groundling like the rest From his great ex
ordium he drifted Into a tame peroration and sunk to silence ami oblivion
simultaneously.
If he had continued In the strata- In which lie had begun It he had
held the high level or that supreme eloquence—w ith the theme he had In
band—tf he had swept Ihe contrast between a detinue, and a timeserving
aud truckling democracy—It he had palntsd a picture of the man of action
and of courage whom he represented In contrast to the man of weakness
and compromise whom he opoaed—If Ihe eagle note In hla earlier utter
ance had been maintained lo the end—Delphln X. IK-lmaa. of California,
would have repealed at 81. Louis the triumph of Bryan at Chicago, ahd
our Democracy would have had another oratot ami perhaiwt another ld«L
\Yo have never heard the explanation of the sudden drop ul Uux bril
liant Californian when he bait securely leached the height on which men
look face to fare Into the eye of faun-. Whether It were physical Indis
position. tit whether he had pitched his strain beyond the power of hla
pinions to maintain—whether the fatigue of ihe long hours aud the high
tension bad snapped some vital cord wUhluJii* eloquence, we have nev-
*er learned. ,
But we do know that he had u great opportunity which he seised
grandly at lint, aud held It with hands t-f brilliant and Inspiring power,
aud Just as It seemed to lie safely within his grasp, lie dropix-d It from u
nerveless hand, and fell back Into the ranks of the ordinary. jf
They cay Delphln X. Delnus la a great lawyer and he undoubtedly

there are varylog opinions as to wbether he ought to do'so. he will doubt

To th* Editor of Tbs Georgian;
Whll* tba mind of tho general public
Is only beginning to grasp tbo grave
dangers which bssst tbo human r*e*

against th* ravages of this disease.
Hops of permanently Improved condi

the tobcrcule bacdlll by Professor
Koch, of Germany, and ever sine* tbs

direct result of a germ the scientific
world has unlt*d In an effort to find
soma antidots to combat Ibis evil which
has threatened the life of patlone.

for so long, applied to all cases of

can not be too strongly emphasised.

Whll* even ths bast and most ad
vanced medication Is almost useless in
tresting tuberculosis, tba manner at
living Is tbe main consideration to b*
observed by patlsnts 'suffering from
this disease. Although The most f*k

and In addition to both thss* elements

directions In thsse particulars unless
such patlsnts are under hts direct ob

Implicit obedience to his rules will b*
enforced. Hence It will bs plain that
sanitariums for the treatment aad
cure of tuberculosis are vital necessi
ties for any truly civilised communi
ties.
Th* Homs far Incurables.
Atlanta Is fortunate In having at
least one Institution where a few- tu
berculosis patlsnts can be cared for.
but It Is essential that Ihe facllltls*
of this Institution b* greatly Increased.
At a recent annual meeting of th*
Home -for Incurable* - Association H
was determined to bring the queetlon
of a separate department tor this class
of patients strongly before tbe pubjlc,
and the skilful and admlrabl* manner
with which the patients wow In this In.
stttutton are cored for, as well as the.
history of th* home, would warrant IhJ
belief that the management w*s capa
ble of caring for a much larger number
were tli* fatriUltos (ranted to I ham It
was also shown That over one-half ths
patient* applying hav* tuberculosis.
—AboulTtve years ago ttUi ssms hand
of ladles saw fit to organise a home In
Atlanta to take chronic cases of all
kinds. Including tuberculosis patients.
They began with a email cottage house
<• Cfiutch street (Carnegie place),
with only eight dollars in th* treasury.
Todsy they own and occupy a hand

city.
This building, which cost 119,099. was
mad* possible by the contributions re
ceived mm the people of Atlanta in
response to tho earnest and psraevsr-
ln» efforts of thss* ladles, whll* th*
splendid alt* was th# gift of lfr. A. O.
Rhode*, of Atlanta. The tract on which
th* present building stands consists of
.fly* acres of high, well drained and
m«! wooded land. *nd could not possi
bly be a mors Idsal location for the
fraction of a separate building for tba
purposes mentioned. Tba original plans
of th* Institution comprised a sonants

two ward* ware devoted to the use of
these unfortunate persons. Thera are
about fourteen beds In these wards,
about half of which are always full,
whll* at tlmea there are more applica

It has already been stated In th*
columns of Th* Georgian that-only a
proper education of th* people Is'neces
sary for a proper response to the ap
sis for a tuberculosis hospital; this I
believe to b* true, and with th*
education which tbo press offers to Ihe
people and tha agitation for which The
Georgian has thrown open Ita valuable
columns tha present plana ahould be
speedily consummated.
Atlanta Is now th* only point tn th*
stats of Georgia which offers a tuber
culosis patient a chance of recovery or
of alleviation of bit sufferings; In tact,
there are but few Institution* In the
entire South which will accept such
patients at all. What la th* result?
The disease has grown with alarming
rapidity and th* mortality has propor
tionately increased. With a tuberculo
sis hospital th* patient* can be edu
cated In all sanitary precautions and
the danger to the community mini
mised. Leaving tha humanitarian ele
ment out of the consideration, the prac
tical economic argument* In favor ot
such an Inatltutlon ahould appeal to
ovary thinking mind.

The Charleston Xews and Courier
has this to say of the Immigration
movement In which Georgia la so Inter
ested :
"The steamship Wltteklnd will ar
rive In Charleston very soon on her
second voyage, bringing Immigrants
from Germany. Her first voyage to
Charleston was a splendid success in
every way and the record made en
couraged tbs owners of the vessel in
their experiment of establishing a per
manent line between Bremen and
Cbarleaton. The final success of this
experiment depends, of course, on the
assurance of cargoes to the ship Into
and out of Charleston. The first
cargo, both in and out. waa secured
through the efforts of Charleston busi
ness men and a second Incoming cargo
has been secured In tho same way. An
outgoing cargo la yet to be furnished
tor the Wltteklnd on her tint voyage
and, although It Is difficult to secure
tbla without the Interest of tbe rail
roads—and It seems Imposlble to enlist
that activity—we feel perfectly sure
tbat It will be obtalnrd. It must be.
Tbe success of this Immigrant line
means more to Charleston directly
than to any other community of the
Bouth. though the whole section la In
terested In It. We believe that aa soon
aa the Immigration seeking movement
Is fairly started, the adjoining states
will center Ibelr support upon tbe
Charleston line and will Interest them
selves to furnish freight eargoes for
the vessels In order to asaure the
transportation of Immigrant* to sup
ply the demand* of the South. There
are *ome very encouraging promises,
actually some assurances that this will
be done, and ths prospect ts bright for
the owning of a large commerce
through this port, directly Induced by
the Immigration movement. But fof
ihe present we shall have to keep the
ilne going by our own efforts, aud It
Is worth almost any exertion we may
make to do li.
