Bet we do not lielleve this ran lie done now, nhd II Piny lie «ome year, before we nr. ready for no Ns an undertaking. Nilll Atlanta ahonld Ml Its fare In that dlrectlou NOW. 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. Are You Prepared for an Emergency?
