OUB PLATFORM: Tha Georgian
and News stands for Atlanta a owning
its own gaa and electric light planta.
as It now owns Its water work*. Other
cities do this and get gas as low as SO
cents, frith a profit to the city. This
should be done at once. The Georgian
and News balleres that If street rail
ways can be operated! successfully by
European cities, as they are, there la
no good reason why they can not be to
operated here. But wo do not believe
this can be done now, and It may be
some yesra before we art ready, for so
Mg an undertaking. Still Atlanta
should set lta face In that direction
NOW.
The Plea for Our Young Women.
To the Editor of The Georgian.
Recently there apepared In The
Georgian from Col. F. J. Paxon of
the city a communication calling
attention to the stranded condi
tion of the Young Woman’s Chris
tian Association, and suggesting a
reorganization of this work.
The suggestion is timely and
must impress it* Importance upon
the mind of every one who la at
all familiar with the needs and
purposes of tho work. Certainly
the further It Is looked into the
more urgently neceasary will it*
demands appear.
If I should be asked to name the
one great need of Atlanta today,
I would answer promptly, an ade
quate home for the Young Wo
men’s Christian Association—a
building embodying in equipment
and appointment accommodations
which should make it worthy of
tho cause for which It stands.
Atlanta stood forward twenty
years ago under the leadership of
Henry Grady for the supplying of
a homo for tho Young Men’s
Christian Association. The home
was given bocause it was a good
worl$ and badly needed. But la
there not now a greater and
stronger claim for a building for
the young women of Atlanta? We
think so, because as between tho
two propositions young women
need support, guldanco and pro
tection moro than young men, and
the Interests of society, morali
and religion are better subserved.
8lnce the day of the permanent
organization and location of the
Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion. which has done and is still
doing noble work, there has come
about in bualneaa affairs a change
which places thousand* ot young
women in business houses and of
fices of every conceivable kind.
61 nee the closing of the building
which baa for tho past tew years
been their headquarters for the
noon hour and for lunch and rest,
there la no place outside of the
hoarding houiei for their accom
modation. Concentrated aa they
are in the business centers ot the
city the young women should have
their home; and that spirit and
movement which operated to
build the home for the young men,
must acknowledge the obligation
to a cause which is Its stronger
counterpart, and give the young
women a home. I am glad to aee
the matter brought forward, and
I shall be glad to be one of the
number of fifty or more persons
aa suggested by Col. Paxon to give
$100 a year for five or a longer
term of year* to this cause. Very
respectfully. WM. CRENSHAW’.
If anything were needed to empha
size the real Interest which thinking
people are taking in this noble institu
tion for young women, it will be found
in this letter from Dr. Crenshaw.
Dr. Crenshaw is one of the most
practical and successful of Atlanta's
professional men.
With his high standing and his large
Interest among men as dean of his
great dental colelge, he is alio tha
center of a very large and Influential
body of friends, and the warmth and
heartiness with which he expresses
himself upon this enterprise must go
far toward convincing Atlanta people
that it is no ordinary institution which
can elicit tuch an appeal from such
a man. •
Join to this that stirring and elo
quent appeal made by Mrs. B. D. Gray
In Saturday’s Georgian to the women
of Atlanta, and we ought to have now
the foundation well laid for a practical
and successful movement In behalf
of the Young Women’s Christian As
sociation.
The Ceorgian believes that If Mr. F.
J. Paxon, sound business man and ex
ecutive that he is. would ask Dr. Wm.
Crenshaw and a few men of similar
character, known to be Interested, to
meet with him la a personal prelimin
ary conference, at which it might or
might no bo advisable to have some
of tho leading Interested women of
the Institution, that an organized ef
fort would In two or three days of
good work establish In Atlanta the
Young Women's Crhlstiap 'Association
upon as sound and durable a basis of
beneficence as Henry Grady’s efforts
established the Young Men’s Associa
tion twenty-odd years ago.
It Is a work worthy of Mr. Paxon
Dr. Crenshaw and others. It Is really
a good and vital work. It means Incal
culable things for Atlanta women of
the present and the future.
If these gentlemen will get together
they will find before them a noble op
portunity waiting to be crystallized
Into a noble achievement.
TO AIT EVANGELIST WHO WOULD BOYCOTT US.
We wish to deal amiably with the eateemed Evangelist Martin, from
Kentucky, who I* proposing a boycott against The Georgian.
And we deal with Evangelist Martin at all, not becauae of any gigan
tic and Impending peril which his boycott threatens to our corporate
life, but because the words of the evangelist and the spirit In which they
are spoken call for some general ob aervatloni which are applicable to Mr.
Martin now and may probably be applicable to some other overzealous
man at another time:
Mr. Martin Is conducting a revival service In Atlanta and The Geor
gian sincerely wishes him well. We are In full sympathy with the purpose
which brings him here, and because of that sympathy we shall apeak of
him with the respect and consideration which at least hla mission and
his motives deserve.
" Mr. Martin takes serious offense at The Georgian because it publishes
a Saturday communication from Rev Everett Dean Elienwood, of the Uni-
veriallat church, and becauae that extract appears to be antagonistic In
spirit and expression to the orthodox church of which Mr. -Martin la a dis
ciple and a minister.
The public will note that Mr. Martin, who Is a stranger in Atlanta,
and to whom “courteay” would therefore seem to be tnore than an ordi
nary obligation, does not approach The Georgian In the spirit of courtesy
or of respect. He does not as any of our highly reputed and orthodox
ministers In Atlanta would have done, approach thia paper courteously
and aay that In view of Its own orthodoxy and it* own high repute it
should not have published the Articles of Dean Elienwood, and that It
would be a proper and appropriate thing for the paper to repudiate the
personal criticisms contained In the articles which the preacher had in
view.
Such a statement coming from a Christian minister would have been
received by The Georgian with the cordial respect which U gives to ail
decorous and courteous suggestions from any source, and particularly to
those which come from the ministry of the Christian church.
Instead of this our visiting evangelist from Kentucky, shaking his
hand violently, not only denounces Rev. Mr. Elienwood himself, but de
nounces the newspaper which simply published his usual Saturday even
ing contribution.
And not content with denouncing the paper, he proceeds without cour
tesy and without fairness to reflect upon the integrity of the paper and
upon its consistency, and then goes to the extraordinary length of seek
ing to establish in one of our Christian churches before a Christian de
nomination of The Georgian’* fellow citizens and many of them its sub
scribers, a direct and violent boycott against the life and prosperity of
this paper!
Truly our evangelist is moving rapidly.
We submit to the Reverend Mr. Martin with great kindness and con
sideration that neither his method nor hla spirit in this matter are cal
culated to accomplish bis purpose or to advance the cause of hla Master,
who la also ours. The publisher as well as the editor of this paper are
old-faahloncd Presbyterians and are perhaps aa severely orthodox in their
hereditary and acquired creeds as any two, men In this community. At
the same time we have realised for years that In a great composite clien
tele such as that which a newspaper makes and in a great city like At
lanta, there are many views and many opinions both upon matters secular
and religious, and that no great newspaper could fall to afford a hearing
to any honest views entertained by ;hone*t men ahd expressed in reputa
ble language. We believe that the other newspapers of Atlanta in more or
less degree entertain the same view.
Here, for instance, aide by aide with Mr. .Ellenwood’s for twelve
months past, has appeared the articles ot Dr. John E. White, of the Sec
ond Baptist church, who has never rushed into violent diatribe against
this paper on account of the propinquity of the opinions of Rev. Ellen-
wood. And yet we make bold to venture the expression that Dr. White Is
as good a man and as orthodox a man even as Evangelist Martin, who has
so violently assailed Tho Georgian and tho pastor of the Unlversallst
church, who has expressed bis opinons In It
We publish side by side every Saturday with tho views of Dean El-
lenwood an elaborate article from the Rev. J. W. Lee, one of the high
est flgures of the Methodist church, whose character and orthodoxy we
also make bold to compare favorably with that of Evangelist Martin.
Beginning within the next fortnight we shall have in the same de
partment and under the same condition* an article from the pen of Rev.
Richard Orme Fllnn, of the Presbyterian church, whose character and or
thodoxy we also proffer for an equality with that of tho visiting evangelist
from Kentucky. These eminent men write for this paper with the dis
tinct and self-evident fact that Rev. Elienwood la also an occasional con
tributor. None of them representing their churches has yet felt called
upon to denounce in heated language the pastor of the Unlversallst
church, or The Georgian, which gives him an opportunity to express hla
honest spiritual convictions.
Let ua present to Evangelist Martin tfils proposition:
The Georgian, like other papers. Is always glad to have communica
tion! from that eminent representative ot the Hebrew religion. Rabbi
David Marx. It la well known to all men that the rabbi’s view of the
death and resurrection ot the 8avlor Is as much In antagonism to the
creeds of the orthodox Christian aa the view* which Dean Elienwood ex
pressed. 8uppose that some orthodox preacher of this community, or that
even to impassioned and dauntless a reformer as Evangelist Martin him
self should rise up and demand that the paper which published a sermon
by Rabbi Marx explaining and advocating bis religion should be boycotted
from the ranks of Christian men? How foolish would the proposition
seem!
Suppose, for Instance, that our Kentucky evangelist, who comes pre
sumably as a gentle and courteous stranger to our midst, should rise up
and protest against those occasional contribution* which Father Gunn, one
of the moat eminent and popular Cathode clergymen of the South, pre
sents to our columns for consideration, or one of the sermons In which
Father Gunn explains and advocates the particular doctrines of hla
church?
Is It because our evangelist from Kentucky thinks that Rev. Ellen-
wood I* the representative of a small and Insignificant congregatloa that
be assumes such violent heat.
Are the newspapers ot Kentucky built of the stuff to be “boyiotted”
Into orthodoxy by vlsltfng evangelists of other states?
We do not know these things to be true, but we submit that the
evangelist speaks with a heat and an Intemperate zeal which I* without
knowledge, and which hat never yet done good to any evangelist in this
community.
The Georgian is not In sympathy with the denominational creeds ot
Dr. Elienwood or in accordance with hla views. We have time and again
announced our own position on these matters, and have made It plain
upon too many occasions that while we give ear to all meh in these col
umns, who speak decently and In order, that we reserve our voice for the
expression ot our own opinions and our own creeds upon matters spiritu
al and temporal everywhere.
We do not have the honor of Evangelist Martin’s acquaintance. We
take It for granted that he Is earnest even If Indiscreet, and we give him
credit for honesty which it in advance of bit prudence. But we would
Ilk* to aay to Evangelist Martin and to other stranger* who come to At
lanta for the great purpose of saving the aoula of men, that we havo
found in this town no one thing to be more discredited and more unfortu
nate than flaming and violent attacks upon other men or other denomina
tions, and particularly upon honest newspapers who are desirous of doing
their duty.
The great majority of the Chrlstaln people of this community and this
state who sit in their pews, believe, that Christianity Is a thing of love
and of gentleness and of charity. And however much the dozing eyes
in the pews may be stretched wide open by passion and beat and violence,
our convictions and our lives are always better reached by a nearer fol
lowing of the old fashioned religion which calls sinners to repentance and
points the way to love and peace and charity in the gospel of good news
which the Master sent
Now and then there comer to us a flaming evangel wjiio may perhaps
awaken dormant and apathetic souls by violent denunciations and heat and
controversy. A
Evangelist Martin will permit us to say that we have had our ade
quate supply of those. Wo recognized and valued them. But in our hon
est Judgment the spiritual life of this community, as reverently viewed in
- the columns of a reverent newspaper, is not to bo enhanced so much by
methods of this kind as by the gentler and broader and more persuasive
gospel which a strenuous world so eagerly crarea and so urgently de-
’ mands, t
We regret to say to Evangelist Martin along with our best wishes for
his success In Atlanta that we must be allowed to run our newspaper fn
our own way, and after our own honest convictions, and that we cannot
afford to Tie bulldozed or boycotted or frightened to submission by violent
expressions from a visiting stranger who T probably does not know our
people and our ministers and our pewholders as well as we do.
And finally may we commend to Evangelist Martin in the good work
which he has cortio to do in Atlanta, the tender speech and tho beautiful
methods by which our own beloved evangelist, Dr. H. M. Wharton, is mov
ing the hearts and stirring the minds and uplifting the gouIb of the peo
ple of Atlanta today.
OUR INSPIRING MEMORIAL DAY.
With throe days behind us since the celebration of our Confederate
Memorial Day, it becomes more and more delightfully evident that this sa
cred celebration so far from waning with the passing years, is held in high
er reverence and celebrated with greater devotion than it has ever been
before.
From every section of the state comes the same report that such a
memorial day has scarcely been celebrated la Georgia since the war.
From Washington, Wilkes county, from Greensboro, from Madison,
from Covington, from Valdosta, from Macon and from th* cities of the
South and East and West of Georgia comes the one unbroken report of
record-breaking audiences and of vital tenderness and enthusiasm Joined
in every place. -v *
While here in Atlanta, in the common Judgment qf our citizens,
young and old, we have scarcely since 1868 had a celebration so beauti
ful in numbers, so Render in sentiment, so inspiring in enthusiasm and so
universal in loving interest as that which followed the great parade of
Friday to Oakland cemetery. ,
The happiness that comes to thoughtful minds in the fact of this un
changed and undiminished zeal for our heroic memories, la in the thought
that our material age la, not after all, making such deadly inroads into the
spiritual sentiment and the nobler impulses of the people. We are too
apt to take the pessimistic view of our present years ot mopey earning
and to think and to aay that they ae destroying sentiment, obliterating
patriotism and subordinating ail things to the vast shadow of the dollar.
Friday's celebration is a refutation of that pessimistic view. It Is 42
years since the conflict closed whose heroes we remember on our memo
rial day. And yet after moro than four decades this whole composite
people of Georgia, from every state and every section, North and South,
Join with the broken and maimed ranks of our remaining veteranB - In
making the one unparalleled demonstration of the year over the heroes of
conviction who fell on our various battlefields.
It Is good for us to know that sentiment still survives, that memory
still remains and that republics, whether they rose of fell, aYe not un
grateful to the heroes who gave their lives in their behalf.
The orations upon Memorial Day were rarely eloquent, unusually beau
tiful and especially tender. But none of them spoken upon any platform
or voiced in any cemetery In Georgia were so genuinely and practically
eloquent aa the multitudes who swarmed about these heroic memories to
testify tjmt ln their hearts . courage, valor and patrlotlem were still up
lifted In the minds and in the hearts of men.
Let us take courage then in these strenuous and material years, and
believe that at last the hearts of the people are all right, that there is
reward for virtue and gratitude for patriotism,.and that men even yet who
die for their country are not forgotten, and that heroic qualities among
men are'still at a premium upon the earth.

By HAN8 DIETRICH.
Tho garrison towns have a governor
who looks after law and order and a
"commandant” who sees that the eol
fliers salute properly and polish their
button*. The governor site In his of-
flclal residence looking at hie maps
and dreaming of Invasions by French
men or Russians. The commandant
walks around everywhere, looking for
small offenders against military rules
nnd etiquette. The one Is a command
ing general, while the other la only a
major general.
Self-satisfied, proud, the command
ant walks down the street with clank
ing atvord and epura, all taken up with
admiration nt himself and his authori
ty. Everybody In uniform from lieu
tenants down to privates turns Into a
side street If they discover him In time,
though as a rule they are caught un
aware.
Today the llrst victim is a young vol-
unteer from the sanitary corps—a “car
bolic strategist," ae the commandant
calls them. The commandant was not
satisfied with his way of saluting,
which he did not find had "ginger"
enough.
He first thought of sending him to a
dark cell In the guard house for three
days. Just to show his authority, but
suddenly an Idea struck him, and he
halted his official thunder.
Major General Von Stackelbeln was
very economical, but he had always
been fond of eating, and thirty years
ot heavy dinners had rather played
havoc with his stomach, liver and kid
neys, and to take proper care of these
organa cost money.
The offender was a surgeon. Proba
bly he had Just graduated and would
be proud to get a major general as
patient, even If there was no money in
Of course, the major surgeon was
supposed to look after the command
ant’s health without remuneration, too.
but the major general had lost faith in
him and did not think him humble
enough. Why he even had to Invlts
him to dinner once In a while or he
would do nothing at all.
So he looked at the young follower
of Aesculapius with his kindliest mien,
and said. In a fatherly manner: "Never
mind the aalute: It tvaa well meant, I
am sure, If it did lack a little anap.
And say, my boy, could not you tell me
what to do for a coated tongue and
pain In the stomach?"
"Why, General, that Is nothing but
colic. If he does not eat well he must
have a physic. I shall have one made
right away and sent over.”
Now the general did not like the tel-
low’s free and eaay manner, and espe-
daily not to be addressed* as he. but
he said nothing about it. but coldly
tnlil the man that he might go.
In the afternoon the promised medi
cine arrived—a whole gallon of It. It
tasted awful, but the general swallowed
It bravely, for It cost nothing apd he
was a brave man.
But about an hour afterwards he
broke down, capitulated miserably and
went to bed after sending his adjutant
out to look for the-surgeon. Now he
was In bed, with a hot water bottle on
his stomach, cursing and groaning.
The adjutant proved a good detective
and soon returned with the guilty one
whom he conducted into the command
ant's bed room.
The air was heavy with electricity
and profanity,
"You d—d castor oil Turk. What
tn devil's name did you send me? No
horse could stand such a dose.”
Why, certainly. General, It is Just
the thing. Did you look to see If bis
tongue is stilt coated?”
"Krtusdoonerwetter, are yotf era-
sy?"
"Nc. general, I am a horse doctor.”

How Some of the Suddenly Made Rich Have Insulted
and Outraged the Sacred Marriage Tie.
By MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN
f pyrlght, 1806, by W. R. Hearst.)
HE maxim that tha lovo of money
Is the root of all evil seems to
have been emphasized recently by
titje glaring evils perpetrated by men
who have acquired large fortunes.
The court proceeding* in the divorce
cases of men with more than one mil
lion gives evidence that these men were
divorced husbands and fathers prior to
the accumulation of their great for
tunes.
The women whom they had married
In' their youth and who were loyal In
every sense, devoting their beat efforts
In aiding their husbands in their ambi
tion to acquire wealth, apparently have
kept abreast with them in the advance
ment which they have made, giving
these men no excuse for their disloyal
ty to their families or for the lives id
debauchery which they have been lead
ing.
Forgetting their duty to wives and
children these men have made alliances
and formed associations which have
completely demoralized them. They
have Insulted and outraged the sacred-
ness of their domestic relation until
forbearance ceased to be a virtue, leav
ing no alternative for their worthy
w|ves but to demand a severance of
their marriage ties.
In every case immediately after the
announcement of the decree of divorce
these profligate men have proceeded to
marry women of questionable reputa
tion. giving them their names nnd
much of their fortunes, not Infrequent
ly adding insult to Injury by conferring
upon their newly-made wives the lion's
share of their wealth.
No reason can be assigned but the
demoralising Influence of money, as in
every instance the deserted wives and
children have proven their uprightness
and faithfulness und maintenance of
their good names. The pathetic stories
of their experiences and the loyalty of
these forsaken wives in sharing th*
drudgery and pittance which the hus
bands were able to provide before the
accumulation of wealth are sad beyond
description.
The testimony, reluctantly given re-
cently by a millionaire’s wife In th*
supreme court at Cleveland, Ohio, in
her suit for divorce from her husband,
is one of the saddest stories ever print
ed. She told how he had absented
himself from his home and hla family
for six long years without any provoca
tion whatever or accusation against
her, and then crowned his Infamy by
Insisting that she should sue him for a
divorce on the ground of his desertion.
While telling this pitiful story and
professing her love for her profligate
husband the teara were rolling down
her cheeks. She raid that she would ba
obliged to leave Cleveland, where she
had lived all her life, where she was
married, and where her children were
born and reared, because the associa
tions would be too painful for her to
endure them if she attempted to remain
In the old home.
The man who had perpetrated this
heinous crime was at one time a mem
ber of congress and had received many
honors at the hands of his people, all
of which he has thrown to the winds,
doubtless feeling that with the millions
he could continue to occupy a place of
respectability among men.
in thirty-six hours after the decision
was rendered he proceeded to marry
the person who was probably responsi
ble for his rapid descent In the scale nf
respectability, and it Is to be hoped that
all good people will mark him for their
contempt.
Society should close its doors against
him and the woman whom he has mar
ried. Until some such course Is taken
by the higher class of society there will
be no such thing as Stopping proceed
ings of this character. Every city could
at any time furnish cades of moral do-
pravlty on the acquisition of millions.
One may well say. ’’Blessed be noth
ing."’ If fortunes are to destroy all do
mestic happlnesi and break up Ameri
can homes.
