Have We Forgotten Our Mexican
Veterans?
Messrs. Sebastian Shaw and Joseph
Davis, old veteran! who (ought In the
Mexican war under General Jackson
and General Nelson, and who also
(ought In the Gon(ederate war (rom
tlrat to last, called at The Georgian
office to see It an Interest could be
aroused (or an organisation ot the
Georgia veterans ot the Mexican war.
Tho purposes o( this organisation
would bo two-fold.
First, the pleasure of an occasional
reunion of the old soldiers who (ought
under Zachary Taylor and Jefferson
Davis so many years ago.
And second, that by the nteani of
this organisation a sufficient Interest
In Georgia’s Mexican Veterans might
be aroused to Induco the good women
who havo already adorned tho Confed
erate heroes with crosses to provldo
tho same badge for tho heroes of tho
Mexican war.
It occurs to us that this Is something
that ought to be done. There are prob
ably not more than 60 or TO of the old
veterans of the Mexican war surviving
in Georgia, and the expense of provid
ing badges for them would be com
paratively small;
Ot course these veterans could buy
badges for themselvea, but than they
wvuld not carry the honor and distinc
tion that rested with a badge provided
by the state or by tbe noble and pa
triotic women of the state. To have
any value at all these badges must be
. uniform and come front such an organ
isation as would by Its very merits
and distinction confer an honor upon
the (ouvenira whose holders might
hand them down from generation to
generation aa an evidence of their par
ticipation In the war with Mexico.
Georgia It very derelict In the recog
nition of her Mexican veterans. South
Carolina medaled tbe Palmetto Regl
n)cnt and all of her Mexican vetarana
aa soon aa they come back from the
strife with Santa Anna. Virginia did
the same, and ao did Maryland, and
most of tho states of the republic ex
cepting Georgia have Conferred these
Simple and Inexpensive badges of hqn'
or upon the soldiers who represented
their states on Mexican battle fields.
Nearly all of the veterans of the
Confederate army have received their
crosses of honor which they cherish
among the moat valued possessions of
their llvee. Many organisations have
been perfected to honor and to medal
the veterans of the Spanlah-Anterican
war. . .
Out our Mexican veterans go unrec
ognised and unrewarded.
We forget who neglect these sol
diers of Zachary Taylor that the Mexi
can war was one of the moat impor
tant If not the moat Important In the
history of the republic. It gave an
empire to America, it added to our
territory nearly all of the vast era
occupied by the states of the West. It
doubled the site of the republic and
made Its limits Imperial In scope and
in possibility. Surely the few surviv
ing relics of this fateful struggle
should be remembered while they live
with the simple but Inexpensive badge
of heroism which will become In time
souvenirs of priceless value to their
children and to their children’s chil
dren.
Perhaps If the surviving veterans of
the Mexican war would write to Mr.
Sebastian Shaw, of No. 12 Marion ave
nue, or to Ur. Joseph Davis, of Rich
ardson street, an organised effort
might be perfected to brirfg about this
much to be desired result.
HOKE SMITH AND CHARLES CULBERSON AS PRESI
DENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.
Wo make baste to assure our esteemed friend of The Houston Post
that The Georgian had not tbe slightest disposition In Its recent editorial
to connect Senator Charles Culberson, by any motion of bis own, with
the Influence of Wall street upon the discussion of Ills name for tho pres
idency of the United States.
It was not remotely In our mind cither,to think or to say this. Sen
ator Cnlberaon la above suspicion-as a public man. Hla name Is golden
In loyalty and a tower of strength to his party and to hfs people. W
know that no negotiations could be opened with him by the Wall street
agencies In any public capacity that Involved Ills personal fortunes.
What we meant to say, and what we say now Is this: That Wall
street, which Is ever active and always meddling with presidential poll
tics, has beeh bestirring Itself to havo tho namo of Senator Culberson
exploited In this connection, not because of any Interest In the Texan
statesman, but because Wall street Is supremely anxious to defeat tho
nomination of William Jennings Bryan for tho presidency, and recognlieB
tbe Texas senator as perhaps the most eligible and potential flgurO around
which to rally an opposition to the Nebraskan’s candidacy.
More particularly fa the Wall street strategy set to tho de-BryanlzIng
of the South.
We trust that our position Is clear to our friend of Tho Post and to
other friends of Senator Culberson with whom we are cordially In sym
pathy. *
We are willing to say this In concurrence with The Post’s advocacy
of Senator Culberson, that outside of Mr. Bryan himself there are no two
names that would bo more potential In a Democratic nomination than
those of Culberson, of Texaa, and Hoke Smith, of Georgia. .
The only Democratic candidate that can win, and the only candidate
that has even n clinnco to win In tho coming election. Is a definite can
dldate of tbe Bryan-Culberson or Hoke Smith type.
If Uryan does not run, It ta our honest judgment that the bCBt and
wisest thing for the Democratic party to do. If It Intends to run a candi
date at all, la to fearlessly and unhesitatingly choose that candidate from
the South. Wo would conaei the Democracy not to consider for a mo
ment the speculative apprehension of the timid that tbe time Is not rlpo
for a Southern candidate and that a Southern man would weaken tho
ticket. • ’■
We believe from far better reasons Gian those suatalnfng tho majority
of those who take tbe opposite view, that a Southern man would positively
strengthen tho national Democratic ticket. Provided he was (feflnlto In
hla candidacy and atood for tho people against graft and greed and the ag
gressions of predatory wealth, he would be a far more eligible candidate
than any Democrat from the Eastern or even from tho {diddle states.
We positively know from personal contact with the Northern and Eastern
people that they would welcome the opportunity In tho candidacy of a
Southern man to proclaim to the world that the war was ended and
that the feeling of tbe North toward the South was not only friendly but
In fact fraternal. *
We honestly believe that either Charles Culberson rfr Hoke Smith
would poll the full and overflowing Democratic vote of tbe South because
they are definite and clear cut Democrats.
We believe that either Charles Culberson or Hoke Smith would poll
tl|p unbroken numerical vote of tho Democratic party In the North, and
that the mere fact that they were Southern men of that New South-which
has worked thla material miracle of recuperation and which In proportion
contributed the largest quota of Union soldiers to the Spanlsh-Amerlc'an
war—would break Into the ranks of the Republican party In tho North
and Weat and give to theae Southern candidates a larger vote than
Northern or Western man could possibly carry.
There are theorista and frreconcltables who as usual will scout this
Idea without knowing the conditions and without any other basis than
their speculative conception of thecontlnuod existence ot sectional feel
ing: but tbe editor of The Georgian for thirteen years has traveled 37,000
miles every year among these people and knows their feelings and sonti-
ments better than nine-tenths of tho politicians who assumo to speak for
them. And we are thoroughly and positively convinced that any South
ern candidate of the type of Culberson or Smith would poll much more
than tho normal Democratic strength In the Northern and Western
states.
If tho Democracy Is going to nominate a candidate, and If that can
didate be not Bryan, we do not see upon the horizon any two natnos
that carry as much of shining bopo and promise as the governor-elect of
Georgia and the junior senator from the state of Texas.
BOSTONIANS AND THE DARKEY.
The down-trodden African has fallen upon hard lines In that great cen
ter of philanthropy known ns Boston. _
After coming all the way from Mississippi to secure apartments (or
his mother. In Boston, ox-Sonstor C. William Hinds, one of the most prom
inent colored educators In tho South, was profoundly discouraged by Bos
ton's attttudo toward his race. After visiting nearly every real oBtate deal
er in tho city and suburbs, and after offering to rent a good sized store
In half n dozen different localities In order to secure a bouse, he has
failed In every effort.
In one case a prominent dealer told hint outright that ‘‘he would not
rent to a ’nigger,”’
Dozens of other Bostonians havo trebled their rents In the attempt
to discourage him, and cx-Senator Hinds, colored, goes back to Missis
sippi with tho statement that he has met In Boston the most discouraging
and outrageous treatment that he ever oxpcrlenced In his life.
The tragedy of this Incident rests In tho fact that after Senator
Hinds bad shaken tbe dust of the South from hla feet and had gone
to Boston to “really live” and to baak In tbe sunlight of a glorious social
equality, he was coldly repulsed by the philanthropic Boatonlana.
CARRYING FREIGHT AND PASSENGERS THROUGH
THE AIR.
A new and startling factor enters now into tho transcendent prob
lem ot transportation.
No question presses so largely at this time upon the commercial In
terests of this people as the facilities for moving tho produco of our
farms and mills to and from the markets of the world. The universal cry
of trade Is "Give us better transportation facilities; glvo us more rail-
reads and Improve tbe waterways.’’
In partial answer to this ery President Roosevelt has appointed a
special commission to prepare a comprehensive scheme to utilize the
navigable streams everywhere and to connect them by cannals.
Ail tbe genlua and energy of tho railroad world la being concentrated
Just now upon the problem of Increased and superior (acuities for
transportation.
But thla la not what we started out to say. Another startling and
sensational factor looms upon tho horison of possibility.
Graham Bell, the scientist and Inventor, la In London at thla time,
and the other day The London Post printed with him an Interview of
aerial navigation which, If true, la ot enormous significance and Impor
tance to the world.
If Graham Bell said half of what la attributed to him, the water ways
commission may well pause In Its deliberations, and tbe managers of rail
roads may wait awhile before entering upon any new extensions. Tbe sci
entist It credited with the positive and unquallfled assertion that the
problem of aerial navigation has been solved, and that within five years
we shall be creasing tbe Atlantic with passengers and .freight at the
rate of 200 miles an hour.
Mr. Graham Bell Is not given to idle speech, and has mado a pro
found study of the subject. If there Is any real foundation for tbe atate-
meot he has made, and we cannot think be has spoken Idly, tho water
ways and the railroads for the transportation of passengers will toon be
come obsolete.
The poealblHtles opened by thla statement are practically Infinite; not
only will the great question of freight and passenger transportation be
solved, but In matters of pleasure, the dispatch of business, and tbe
ebangee in .our life would be colossal. A flying machine for one person
would be Inexpensive, and several persona might ride In an aerial car at
not nearly so great a coat as an automobile.
And the transit for one of these would be ao much more rapid and
agreeable than anything now In existence thdt It would speedily supplant
all other modes of locomotion and become practically universal.
The Wright Brothers, who are Americana, are even now In Europe
wijh a machine which sclentlata'pronounce practical and successful, an!
Whose secret they are keeping from tho publlo until they can fell their
discovery at the highest possible price to one of the great and progressive
governments of the world.
We who are skeptical must remember that in our fathers' time the
telegraph and the telephone would have been regarded as Just as Imprac
tical and Impossible as we who arc living now are supposed to look upon
the triumph of aerial navigation. The age In which we live does not per
mit of obstinate doubts upon any question. This Is the century’ that Is
constantly turning the Impossible Into the real and practical.
And wo ourselves, not to speak of our children, may llvo to see aerial
navigation supplanting all other means of getting about In the world.
WHI8KER8 AGAINST 14c COTTON.
The statement Is made In a jocular way by Mr. James Patten, of Cblca
go, that he "will not shave until wheat is $1.50 a bushel and cotton sells
at 14 cents a pound.
' This comes from a shrewd and successful speculator—one quick to
sea and take advantage of conditions either for or against any specula
tlve commodity, and as conditions In both wheat and cotton are practically
the same, he has probably named the price in each Instance. Wheat,
besides being affected by unfavorable weather. Is being seriously damaged
by the green bug. The European crop Is also In a poor way, and their
needs must be supplied by America.
America has no competitor in the production of cotton, and the spin
ners of the world must have American cotton. It Is an admitted fact that
cotton fs two weeks later than last year; that many* fields havo been
replanted, not only once but twice or even three times, and It has yet to
come to a good stand, due to faulty seed.
Doubts are now entertained that a crop can now be raised of suffi
cient proportions to meet tho world's requirements for the ever-increasing
consumption.
Cotton has had and Is still having unfavorable weather, and It has
not reached tho weevil stage yet These Industrious little pests are yet
to be heard from.
If the backwardness of tho crop does not furnish 14c strength, Mr.
Patten will be compelled to allow his whiskers to grow until they put
in their appearance.

MOVEMENT OP VESSELS.
The Paragraphers and the Here
after.
Fairly confronted with the question
of facing the hereafter, tho brilliant
paragraphers of The Washington Her
ald and The Houston Post quibble and
by artful subterfuge seek to dodgo
tho real issue.
Paragrapher Nevln, of The Wash
ington Herald, assumes a degree of
cocksureness as to tho ultimate future
of htajdan. Whether or not his sweep
ing assertion that paragraphers are
destined for pearly portals embraces
the entire school, or Is confined to
shad-pampered paragraphers alone, he
falls to make clear. There has been
much discussion In Tho Herald aa to
tho value of Trenton limestone as
flavor for shad. The Houston Post
hks sneered at tho Idea. With that
we have nothing to d6, but It Is but
atraw In tho gale to show how Par
agrapher Nevln grabs at trifles to
mako bis case.
The Houston Post frankly confesses
that It has no call for titles clear, and
goes further In admitting that even
the other place may be blocked to his
clan. Here Is a state of total abandon
difficult to conceive. Where Is a man
to go when ho has stopped his work
of paragraphing and finds that bo Is
too depraved for admittance to either
of the post-mortom terminals?
We shall not attempt to say, but
leave The Houston Post to reform or
go merrily on Its way to—what? After
all, The Houston Post Is the franker
of The Georgian's dissenters. The
Washington Herald's.effort to shift re
sponsibility for total depravity, punish
ment to the shoulders of the sporting
editors is but a mere quibble In spar
ring for tlmo.
Backed squarely to tho ropes by Tho
Georgian, TJio Houston Post blithely
remarks that It docs not know or care
merry hoot what lies before, Just
so It has strawberries,the year round
and Jack-rabbit fattened bass six
months of the twelve.
Again' we ask, can a paragrapher
win tho pearly portal?
Stop dodging or quibbling, and come
out and answer right off tbe reek-
yes or no.
In deference to tbe genealogical re
search of Tho Charleston News and
Courier, reinforced by the admission*
Tbe Houston Post, Tbe Georgian Is
compelled to confess that wo claimed
overmuch In the statement that Sena
tor Culberson, of Texas, was born In
Georgia. It seems that the senator
was accidentally born In tho atato of
Alabama, but his father before him
was born and partly reared In Georgia,
and tho spirit anil traditions of the
Empire State havo been carried
through a militant and vigorous sire to
the present Illustrious grandson of
Georgia.
A PLEA FOR STARVING RU8SIA,
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Will you please, at your earliest con
venlence. enter a special plea through
the columns of your valuable paper for
the ktarvtng millions In Russia and
China? It fs time the famine was
stopped. The Russian and Chinese
governments won’t do It, or don’t: the
problem now confronts the world, and
It Is not a question of who la under the
greatest obligation to send relief, but
who will do It. and do It quickly,
now becomes tho duty of whoever loves
God and humanity. This calamity fs
America’s opportunity. God has given
us years of unparalleled prosperity. We
have stored up wealth untold, and It ts
our privilege ;o become the Egypt to
furnish relief In this, the most terrible
famine In the history of tho world.
We can not as Christians overlook
this duty. Hear the words of Christ
"Depart from me, ya cursed, Into ever-
lasting Are. • • • For I was an
hungered and ye gave me no meat.
» • • Inasmuch as ye did It not unto
one of the least of these, ye did It not
to me." /
Furthermore, there Is no time to de
lay. In China alone the famine covers
an area of more than 40,000 square
miles, the whole population of which
will be wiped out unless relief be sent
at once.
Think of the people eating green
scum from the ponds, white clay and
rice hulls, scratching roots and blades
of grass from tho soil and scraping
bark from the trees, and, worse than
this, parents killing and eating their
children, while we Americans are
spending money that could save their
lives, for Ice cream, coca-cola, theaters
and card parties!
Can’t we, .In the name of humanity,
lay aside amusements and needless
luxuries for one week, or even deny
ourselves a few at the so-called neces
alttes and end this famine nt once?
I know the United States has given
some aid, but our obligation to our
Lord doesn’t cease as long as wo can
save one life. -
I, have not written this for publica
tion. but only as an appeal to you to
express this matter before the public
In your own Inimitable way.
May the Holy Spirit Inspire you to
sound a bugle call that will arouse the
entire nation to Immediate action.
Yours for tho sake of suffering hu
manity. DAISY M. GIFFORD.

White Nurse For Negro Pa
tients Brings Another
Hot Discussion.
A warm dlscusBlon of the question ss
to whether a white nurse should wait
on a negro patient took place at a
meeting of the board of truateea of
Grady hospital held Tuesday afternoon
for the especial purpose of taking ac
tion In the matter.
"It was reported by Councilman E.
W. Martin and Dr. T. D. Longlno that
under the rules the white nurses at the
hospital were compelled to perform the
same offices for negro patients that
they do for white patients. Dr. Longlno
was of tlie opinion that they should not
bo required to do this work, and that
negro women should be Employed. He
was upheld In this vjew by John Har
well.
Mr. Hlrsch declared that there were
already negro women In the hospital
employed to do the drudgery, but Dr.
Longlno nevertheless expressed sur-
prise that Mrs. Waddell, the superin
tendent of nurses, should allow them to
do the same work for negro men and
women that they do for white patients.
The discussion moved along merrily
and waxed warmer as It proceeded, un
til Mr. Harwell ended It by moving
that a committee be appointed to take
up tho matter with the medical board.
This disposition of the matter proved
satisfactory tO everybody except Hugh
Doraey, who expressed the opinion that
tho more It Is agitated the more com
plicated it will become.
President Hlrsch-appointed Messrs.
Martin, Northen and Elkin to confer
with the medical board.
