The oOngregational Methodists
and Atlanta, <
At their meeting In Monroe county
last week the Congregational Method
lets launched a movement of great
magnitude, and one which makes At
lanta the center and head of tho fu
ture operations of the church.
In view of the growing Interests of
the church it was doclded that a pub
lishing plant of large dimensions
should be established at once, and
ttepi were taken to finance the «aye
The plant will contain the most
modern machinery made and will In
side of two or three years have an
equipment which will make It a prop
erty valued at not lets than 1100,000.
It la In proceaa of eatabllabment now
In Atlanta.
The church now haa located In At
lanta the Atlanta Bible School, the In
stitution owning Its buildings and be
ing valued at )100,000.
At Milner, Ga„ tba official organ of
the church. The Watchman, Is located,
and Is one of the few religious jour
nals owning Us own plant, which la
to be enlarged and bettered.
In order to put thle machinery of
the church, repreaentlng a valuation of
nearly a quarter of a million of dollara,
In shape for highest usefulness, it was
decided to elect a business manager
and to locate all the Interests of the
church above mentioned at one point
In order to be under the general su
pervision of a practical buslneas man.
Being at present editor of The
Watchman, and president of the At
lanta Bible School. Dr. Rolfe Hunt was
selected aa president of the combined
Interests, and after searching diligent
ly for the man fitted to bold the posi
tion of business manager, the church
UId hold of Edward Young Clarke, a
religious journalist of Atlanta, and a
man who haa proven htmaelf valuable
to everything with which he haa con
nected hlmaelf.
The above action moans much to tba
comnierelal and religious Interests of
the community, and places Dr. Hunt
and Mr. Clarke In charge of Interest*
of the Congregational Methodist
church which bid fair to reach a valua
tion of half a' million of dollars within
five' year*.
It la announced that Mr. Clarke will
have absolute control, under the gen
eral direction of the church boards, of
the business affalra of the denomina
tion In America aa represented by the
Interests above mentioned.
Dr. Rolfe Hunt, It Is announced, will
have direction of all the doctrinal and
general church policy of the move
ments and will bare general manage
ment of the church Interests under the
Control of the various boards.
There ara few people In Atlanta who
have realised the Importance of the
movements Inaugurated.
The plans as formulated put tha
Church enterprises outside the realm
of charity movements In ao far as
they are any drain upon Atlanta.-Tile
publishing plant has already on hand
more than 118,000 of contract* ready
for execution. and the business men
of Atlanu have given the business a
cordial reception. Not only have they
already pledged the Urge amount of
business above mentioned, but the
Chamber of Commerce has adopted
resolutions welcoming the publishing
bouse to Atlanta.
From the very beginning the move
ment la bringing thousands of dollars
to Atlanta, and the movements backed
by the church will represent much to
the banks, compiercUl houses and ,r«‘
llglous Influence of The cAmmunlty.
The centering of this movement In
Atlanta la only another movement In
Atlanta’s onward march to-a “greater
greatness," and the Congregational
Methodist church make* the Indepen
dent announcement that at the present
time, when the city Is being taxed for
donations to large rellglouB undertak
Ings, that the present movement, In
volving hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, la launched on a business basis,
and that no campaign for subscrip
tions from, the people of Atlanta is
about to be entered upon.
; .Tim movement Ifl‘ establishing in the
city a splendid addition to Its business
Interests, and the profits from these
Interests, which will be conducted on
a practical and helpful business basis,
will all he tdriied to the support of
worthy charitable Institutions.
ANOTHER “ERA OP GOOD FEELING” NEEDED. •
In a recent editorial The Georgian cited the “Era of Good Feollng”
under President Monroe as a precedent at least for the Chattanooga sug
gestion. * * * ,
The “Era of Good Feeling" was a term applied to a period In Ameri
can history from 1817 to 18*4, during which time there was virtually only
one party, the Democratic-Republican party, existing In the country. .
At the close of the war of 1812 the Federalist Party, like the Demo
cratic party now', was-In a state of discouragement over successive de
feats, and In 1821 the wise and practical statesmanship of President
Mon roe commended him so much to the general confidence of the people
that he was re-elected to the presidency by a vote of 231 out of 232 In
the electoral college.
Aa soon aa bit administration was over the economic questions of
the country, the tariff and the Internal revenue, brought about a new
alignment of parties along practical lines just as an Era of Good Feeling
would Inevitably do at this period In our political history.
It haa been argued In opposition to this modern Era of Gqod Feeling
that one of the parties, the Federalist-fiarty, never recovered from the
union of all parties Into the Indorsement of.Prealdent Monroe.
This argument Is easily answered. If the Federalist party In name
disappeared after that "Era of Good Feeling" It was* because It had finish
ed Its mission, and the Era of Good Feeling gave an opportunity for the
reorganisation of parties which bettered the entire republic.
From, the standpoint of the Federalists It was an unmixed
blessing, for if the Federalist party died In name, out of Its
elements waa reorganized the definite, coherent and all-conquering Re-‘
publican party which triumphed under Lincoln and has held the govern
ment for nearly half a century. Just so the Democratic or the Republican
parties might reorganize for victory, after a period of union and rest.
The hopeless tangle of the two parties today with their corporation
Democrats and their people's Democrats—with their Rooaevelt Republi
cans and their Harrimnn Republicans—makes f condition 'jhere nothing
less than a reorganisation can establish parties upon a coherent and defi
nite baatfeffc. K
Under piosent conditions each party contains a large and ever In
creasing element that fa out of sympathy with the majority .element of
Us organisation. Bryan and Belmont, Hearat and Ryan are as hopelessly
split as Rooaevelt and Fornker on the other side. There seems to be no;
law by which these antagonistic, elements can 'be. eliminated or persuad
ed or reformed In either party, and from either view the only wish* and
sensible thing to do would be to reorganize both partleaTDpon a definite
and coherent platform which would enlist the conscientious support and
the honekt seal of honest citizens on either side.
And the only way under heaven by which this can be accomplished Is
by another "Era of Good Feeling," In which both parties may come to
gether for a single administration, and after this breathing apace, to re
organise along Democratic or Republican lines, two great organizations
that would carry the conscience, the convictions and the honest zeal of
the Individual voter.
- Strange a* It may seem, the old primal qacstlon of states’ rights which
began under Hamilton and Jefferson seems to stand as the principal bar
rier to a proposition of this kind.
Men hare forgotten that party alignments have not alwnys been defi
nite and clear upon this theory In tlmp past. There was a time when the
Democrat* came to be almost aa liberal In their Interpretations of the
constitution as the Federalists had been before them. For while In
1788 the Federalists denounced the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions
pasted by the Democrats In favor of slates' rights. It Is yet true that In
1814 tha Federalists were vigorously opposed to any extension of the au
thority of the central government, while the Democrats were practically
committed In tbla respect at that time to the former Federalist policy.
Once more The Georgian reiterates the proposition, from which It
refuses to be diverted by any thoughtleee or captious criticism, that the su
preme and dominant Issue of this era I* tha Restraint and Regulation of
Predatory Wealth. All other lisuea are subordinate and secondary to this
Issue, and If at thla time there be evident any man or any policy upder
which thla great question can be moat wisely and most justly aettled,
then the discovery of that man or that policy la In itself a bugle call
to the American people for another Era of Good Feeling In which this
great question can be decided. And after this the two discordant, divided
and Incoherent parties can be reorganised and defined along line* to en
list the convictions and cooperation of the two tides of sentiment and
theory which separate the people.
If there ever was a period In American history for another Era of
Good Feeling that period Is now, and we trust In .that Providence
which rules the destinies .of nations, to strike the scales from the blind
ed eyes of partisans and office seekers, and to permit them to see tbe su
preme Issue of tbe time, and the open way to. the solution of the problem,
and the reorganisation of parties.
legislature, who will say that the majority of voters has not the
right to veto also? (Applause).
Bryan, Democrat, and LaFoIIette, Republican, are both thundering
this doctrine from platform and press and hustings. The monopolists In
aqd out of both parties will cry out against It, hut the people, we believe,
will vote for thp Initiative and referendum whenever and wherever they
have the opportunity.
But how aro the proa and cons In either party to get together on the Is
sue? And how are the Democrats and Republicans who favor the Initiative
and referendum going to mass their votes under one platform to make
their .votes effective? And bow are the opponents of the measure In each
party to make their opposition effective.
What a hopeless tangle It Is In either party, and how absolutely and
evidently necessary It Is that there should be a reorganization of par
ties so that the honest voter can express his honest convictions at tho
polls, that the majority may win!
Under the present condition'of party slavery a majority of the people
favoring the Initiative and referendum may lose their will, because of
their pnrtlsan slavery.
An "Era of Good Feeling” would liberate all these honest ballots and
enable the majority of the people to follow their convictions to victory.
DIRECT ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATORS.
Two more states have established a direct election of United States
senators. Iowa and Washington have joined the procession, making five
states this year, and a total of eighteen. The Northern states are Oregon.
Washington. North Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Okla

Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mlaslsslppl, Texas, .Arkansas, Ten

THE INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM COMING.
Throughout tbe country there la an Interested discussion of Hon. W,
J. Bryan's declaration In hla recent Brooklyn speech that he will do his
beat to drive from the Democratic party all who do not believe In tho
people's eapaelty tor self-government. The Brooklyn Eagle's report of
the occasion Is aa follows:

Gentlemen—We have just completed a thorough examina
tion of yonr bank and have to report that wo found all depart
ments in excellent condition.
The assets appearing in the ledger accounts were thor
oughly examined.
Loans and Discounts were listed in detail and found to
agree in the aggregate with the amount called for by the
books; and in examining the papers we noticed that the loans
were well distributed among various lines of business.
Stocks and Bonds were examined and listed. These are
all of a high grade and carried on the books at very conserva
tive figures.
We timed our visit to be there on the first of the month,
when statements were being exchanged with other banks with
which you were doing business. Wo were thus enabled to veri
fy these accounts more thoroughly than would have been pos
sible at any other time. This is also true of the depositors’
accounts which were verified, the deposit ledgers footed, and
found in exact balance with the general ledger.
We were courteously treated by the officers and employees
of the bank and were allowed every opportunity for a thor
ough examination of all departments.

Brunswick, Ga., May IX
The German Navy League, which,
protected by (he emperor, has done so
much, with Its 1,000,000 members and
annual Income of U30.-000 devoted to
propaganda work, to develop the naty.
» seething with Internal differences
that, according to its opponents, may
result In Its dissolution. .
The original trouble wee caused by
General Kelm, the moving spirit of
the league, In the Reichstag campaign.
He used the organisation to encompass
the defeat of Socialist, Soman Catholic
and other candidates supposed to be
hostile to Germany's naval ambitions.
At the annual meeting In Cologne to
day and tomorrow the Bavarian branch
will bring forward resolutions demand
ing that the league and Its officers ab
stain from any sort of political activity
Ih South Germany. Thousands of the
South German Roman Catholic mem
bers of the league were enraged by
General Kelm'n Insinuation that the
Centre was "anti-national," and they
ore up In arms against the Prussians
who control the league. If-the Bava
rian resolutions are rejected there will
be en enormous defection, and If It is
decided to abandon political activity
the control of the organization will be
