The Negroes and the Mails.
The Tlmen-Demoerit, of New Or
leans, seems resolute in Us warfare
upon the Increasing tendency of the
Postal Department to preempt the rail
way mall service for the negroes.
- It declares that "raw negroes from
the flelds are being ponred Into these
positions In such numbers as to drive
out the whites."
It gives Instances In great elabora
tion to prove the Heady demoraliza
tion of the mail service under these
new and Incapable recruits, and com
plains that the mail* have never been
to uncertain and so unsatisfactory In
their handling as they are today.
Complaint! made to the department
have keen met with evasion or Indiffer
ence aud the evil steadily grows.
The Times-Democrat stye;
"To pretend that there Is no
remedy for this evil Is to declare
that this government Is Incapable
of doing wbat is absolutely neces-
■ary In the public Interest. The
postal clerks have shown a very
simple mode of correcting the
worst evils—that the whites and
negroes be separated in the mall
service. Instead of being compelled
to live, eat and sleep together.
The races are compelled to keep
separate In the South on every
car In the train except the mall
ear—there the postofflee authori
ties Insert a social equality. The
United States Itself recognises the
necessity of keeping the races sep
arate. and will not allow whites
and negroes to serve in the same
regiments, yet it allowi, or rather,
forces, It lo that branch of the gov
ernment where It can do the great
est amount of harm—the poetof-
flee.”
From all of which It would seem
that the negro Is getting to be not
only an economic but a eerloua po
litical problem to the a. 0. P.
He must be recognised somewhere
lest the party suffer In the doubtful
states, but Instead of recognising him
In those stales where he is the balance
of power, the O. O. P. packs the South
ern railways with hla tribe, and then
boaets In Ohio and Indiana of the num
ber of appolnteea made by the party
front the negro race.
And all thle le explained by the
statement: "It la politics."
i
Mitchell Street Will Be Cleared.
The Georgian's suggestion for the
rare of the important public thorough
fare known as Mitchell street, has not
only been generally indorsed, but baa
borne Immediate and wholesome fruit.
Alderman Curtis, of the First Ward,
took up the matter Immediately with
the city attorney and the mayor and
w-e have now every assurance that
the sidewalks will be cleared of ob
structions and the thoroughfare made
eligible In every way to the multiply
ing crowds that come from the Ter
minal station Into the business oBces
and shopping centers of the city.
When a good newspaper Is bedded
| by a good alderman and a good mayor
it It an easy muter to keep the city
straight
SATURDAY EVENING.
In the reflective philosophy which comes to cover the Incidents and
aspirations of a closing week, we are moved to a brief consideration of
The Cowardice of Desire.
There is no man so brave and so honest upon public and private Is
sues as the man who has no selflsh or personal interest at stake. The
man who wants nothing fears nothing, and the man who seeks nothing
for himself Is always In a position to consider fairly the Issues and the
policies which lavolre th'e race.
The man whose soul and mind are set U|ton the attainment of a selflsh
end has from time Immemorial been willing and apt to sacriflco his time,
bis money, bis principles and his friends to the attainment of the end in
vlgw.
In no phase of human life Is the principle here laid down more fre
quently Illustrated than In the avenues of the public service. How many
men. young and old. have we seen In the coarse of public service with
high hopes and unselfish aspiration, loving the state, loving truth, loving
honor and baaing the expectation of fame rather upon fidelity to these
great consideration! than upon financial or political exploitation of him
self.
Nothing In our American system of government Is more beautiful
than the earlier flight of a high, brave spirit, such as this. In the forums,
of reason and upon the platforms of debate he flings down the gauntlet to
corruption, to error aud treason, and atands either tn eloquent defense of
the repablic's honor or in high and glowing eulogy of the honest meas
ures and the honest servants of the state. He views all public questions
from the standpoint of th* public welfare. He defends the treasury from
corrupt afsanlt. He thunders before the people In opposition to demagog
ic appeal. He wraps the splendor of his eloquence and the mantle of his
courage around the high questions which affect the public weal, anil In
the realm of politics Is "the knight without fear and without reproach."
But let the itching thirst for office or the cruel greed for gold Instill
Its poison Into the red veins of this honorable man and hla methods are
metamorphosed and his speech is changed. High above the state, high
above the loftiest sentiments, be begins to enthrone the graven Image of
himself. Every public question Is viewed not from the high and unselfish
standpoint of the public weal, but from the baser consideration of Ala In
dividual fortunes. Where once the patriot used to ask the noble question,,
"What Is best for the welfare of the state?'—he whispers now with fur
tive glance the query, "How will this speech or attitude affect my rela
tion to the people's votes?" Where Honor lived, Selfishness abides. Where
the State was supreme. Self is now enthroned, and the saddest metamor-.
phosls which our Institutions have witnessed In this land of liberty Is the
passage of the patriot Into tbs desire and folly of the politician.
What has wrought this change but the evil spirit of selfishness? The
desire grown morbid for something that will exalt self above righteous
ness and above the State. The subordination of humanity, which le the
hlgheet expression of patriotism, to the small bat ravenous cupidity of the
Individual.
There have been few men whoee character and patriotism have been
proof against the poison of Dtslre. There have been fewer men who have
been able In the stir and strife and wruigle—in the barter and trade and
In the scheming and pushing of public life to keep serene and clear the
ideala of noble and unselfish youth.
And yet. we make bold to offer here the proposition that no man who
ever won a battle of this baser sort has carried from hla triumph to his
conch at night one-half the happiness that he won in his earlier and better
days in the advocacy of high causes and In the unselfish championship of
Ihe abstract State. If happiness be the goal to which men tend, how deep
the folly that would lose It In the selfish scramble for spoils that, like
Dead Sea apples, turn to ashes on the lips! How unspeakable the error
that would hope to find In the gratification of baser Instincts and selfish
ambitions the glory and the Joy that comes from pure patriotism and the
unsullied conscience of a Statesman's life.
Wherefore, let It not be thought that the object ol these hurried lines
Is to protest politics or to deter the young American'from the service of
his county In the Halls of State; but rather let the warning come that
they who build for happiness and for Immortality can never do a wiser
thing than to hold Deklre In eternal bonds.
Ambition Is not a sinful or unholy thing; but the ambition which
feeds the life and Invigorates the soul Is that which hold! Itself subordi
nate to the creeds of honor and to the noble ends of service.
STAND BY THE PRESIDENT.
This Is a poor time for the friends of corporate regulation and of gen
uine reform to give countenance to any fight on the president of the
United States.
We might as well confess It frankly that Theodore Roosevelt Is the
beat and most stalwart hope of corporation regulation that our country
holds.
Republican or Democrat, It does not matter which, he seems to have
been called to the kingdom tor this momentous time, and If he has not
accomplished all that we might have hoped and desired, we can at least
be certain that no man could have accomplished more. He has some
times had to take a half loaf rather than no loaf at all, but every step of
hla public career haa been progressive toward popular rights and popu
lar liberties, and the condition In which he stands toward the giant cor
porations and In which they etaud toward him today, la a tribute higher
than words aud larger than party and more transcendent than any fac
tional advantage.
It la a natural thing for Harriman and the magic circle of the bloated
tnista to impugn the president's veracity, and to seek tn every way to
cripple his character end his Influence In the elate. Rut thoughtful men
In this enlightened day throughout this whole country, without regard
to party Hoes, are coming to know that the president is the best hope
of reform, and that if hie stalwart arm can he crippled nad his great
prestige destroyed, that the way of the truite and syndicates will be
easy toward rehabilitation and to a greater iiower than they have ever
known before.
Tbe Issue of corporate regulation is the surpassing issue of the times
tnd transcends the wrangles of party, the strife of faction and the con
flicting theories of government over which doctrinaires have wrangled
harmlessly for a hundred years.
The great Issue of concentrated wealth against the people towers
mountain high In this generation above all other questions, and when the
people have found one great, brave, strong and masterful man to fight
their fight and to win their battles in part now, and perhaps In the whole
hereafter, It la unspeakable civic folly to do leas than stand by him with
out regard to faction and without tba littleness of partisan dislike.
The freight hill paid by the American people to the railways last
year was $1,440,942,942, nnd-thls Is much more than twice the revenue of
the United Slates government from all Ita people! Everywhere now the
railroads are seeking either in reprisal or in threat to raise the freight
rate throughout tbe country. What even tbe slight increase they pro-
pose In railroad freight rates means to the public Is what the people do
not understand but what the railroads .surely do. The ton mileage nr the
number of tons carried In the United 8tates, according to the latest fig
ures of the Interstate Commerce Commission, was 1S6.4IU.1U9.514. So
overwhelmingly vast Is the total of merchandise moved on the railroads
In America that the addition of .004 of a cent per ton a mile In the rate
would yield the companies $740,000,000!
A alight advance per ton In the transportation of freight entails a far
greater cost upon the consumer of America than a much larger and more
definite Increase would do lu the price of coal, petroleum and sugar all
combined.
The man who thinks that the railroads are asleep or in full sur
render. Is himself asleep. They are going to fight with all their unran-
sorned (lowers with colossal revenues behind them.
Whether there be a five million rich men’a club and fund lo light tbe
president we do not know, but that these niea are going to fight to retain
their privileges to continue their absorbing gsins, no min need for a mo
ment doubt.
This country without regard to party needs Rooaevelt to continue In
his work and the iieople who have more seuse than they are credited
by politicians with possessing, realize tbe value of this dauntless prez 1 -
dent and are willing to stand by him.
So that Harriman may rage and Flerpont Morgan* may Imagine a
vain thing, but the plain people of this country have confidence in th?
president's motives and In his magnificent courage and capacity and the.-
are not going to he swayed by ihe fine Italian hand of the corporation
out of necessary loyalty to their friend.
A GOLDEN MUNICIPAL OPPORTUNITY.
It Is perhaps true that our advocacy of municipal ownership of pub
lic utilities haa heretofore been somewhat academic—has lacked the quali
ty of direct practical proposal.
This has- been necessarily true. It is necessarily true of all reform
movements that they must proceed for a while along abstract lines,
building up and educating public sentiment until it Is ripe for definite
propositions. >
And such. Indeed, we had expected should continue for some time In
the main to be our policy. Such, indeed, will be our policy, notwithstand
ing the fact that we have In general terms advocated the proposed mu
nicipal light plant as an Immediate step.
It Is not improbable that right now the public judgment of Atlanta
really favors municipal ownership, but it is a nebulous and, as yet, an
uncrystalllzed preference, a Judgment and a preference that Is not fertil
ized by full aud perfect comprehension of the data of the problem and the
absolute necessity for checking the wastes and follies of privilege.
Public sentiment on all great questions has to go through a long and
tedious process of germination.
It Is this fact that constitutes the opiiortunity of the favored classes.
It Is. then, while the public Judgment It ripening for action that the
barnacle classes fasten their grip tighter on the body politic.
It will, ns we say, doubtless be necessary for The Georgian to talk
for a long time yet about the abstract principles of* municipal ownership,
before the city wakes up to the terrible wastes and Infinite folly and In
justice of giving away the wealth and opportunity of the whole people to
build up an ungrateful power that Is not even willing to pay taxes on tbe
bounty we give them.
Just at present, however, there Is an opportunity before the people of
this city that Is so engaging and attractive that we cannot refrain from,
pointing It out.
It Is said that two millions of dollars will buy and completely equip the
Atlanta telephone bnslness. The ownership of a -telephone system has
not heretofore been much discussed anywhere. There have been so
many other forms of public opportunity demanding attention that the
telephone has not so far come In for any large share of It.
It would not do so now. perhaps, If It were not for the fact that the
ownership of the Atlanta Telephone Company and Its assets would carry
with It an Interest In the electric lighting and power plant of the North
Georgia company that would instantly relieve the consumere of Atlanta
of one-half the chargee for electric current and at tho same time* pay a
revenue to the city that would relieve our crowded schools, fill up the
scanty ranks of the police force, build hospitals and clean and pave our
streets.
The terms of the contract between the telephone people and the light
company are such that it Is possible today for this city to absolutely en
rich Itself without the cost of a dollar. If ohly Its citizens will underwrite
for her benefit a bond Issue of two million dollars, while those who do
so can themselves In so doing reap a handsome profit.
Not a dollar of the money would have to bo put up. As soon as
the Issue wns subscribed and the plant turned over to the city and ac
cepted by It. the bonds would be at a premium, the revenues of the city
would be enriched and the coat of current cut half In two.
Reads like a fairy story, doesn't It? Of course It does. And of course
we will sit still and do. nothing, and a few yeafa hence wonder at our fol
ly, Just as we now remember how a few years ago this city let slip an
opportunity to own the atreet car system and abolish taxes.
May we urge upon the legislative committee who are Investigating
municipal ownership to give gome vigorous attention to this matter.
