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. Do you remember "Ransy Sniffles’’ in Judge Longatreet'a “Georgia Scenes?’’ ’’Ransy" was the fellow who carried tales and stirred up strife be. tween other fellows, ai^d rejoiced to tell of It, but always got out of the way himself—when ho could. Do you know a "Ransy Sniffles” in our journalism, gentle reader? We can show you one most any fine day from the windows of our office. The Hon. M. L. Everett, of Lumpkin, will find In Sargent's Standard Speak er a part ot Lamar's oratton beginning, “Party spirit Is more to be dreaded than any other vice.” Tho Sargent Speaker is out ot dale, but may be found in any old bookstore. Meanwhile we are glad to see men ot Mr. Ever ett's caliber reading such wholesome doctrine aa Mirabeau Lamar preached In that oration. It la tho literature for these times. It Mr. Everett finds the oration in full we should be glad to know it. Army-Navy Orders —find—• MOVEMENT OF VESSELS. Army Orders. Washington.

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.” No Risk Is Taken When you deposit your money with a bank that seeks out and follows the safest and most ap proved methods in all the essential details of its business. /This has been our policy for more than a quarter of a century. MADDOX-RUCKER BANKING CO. MILLIONS AND MISERY il 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. GIRLS!
