Twelve FWe-Minute Speeches.
The educations: luncheon tendered
by the Chamber of Commerce on Fri
day furnished an Incident unusual In
Georgia and notable anywhere.
I There were twelve Georgians of
greater , or amaller prominence upon
the program; They were scheduled
to apeak five minutes each. The
twelve men spoke.
And the marvel la that with a sin
gle exception each of these eloquent
Georgians confined himself ‘closely to
thp five minutes given him by the
committee!
It la doubtful If an equal Instance of
Intellectual heroism la od record In
the public and forensic history of the.
state.
The other .notable feature of the oc
casion Is that these five - minute
speeches—and- some of them were on-'
1 xi three—were without exception of
great point apd-merit! and were voted
among fhe ‘beat abort sfxvches ever
made In the state. “
And the moral ,of the Incident—“hie
fabula docet"—what man baa done
man nUy do, and the success of thla
“five minute program." should , be a
guide And Inspiration for other occa-
•Jons. : ‘ i ■
For which those who hear and do
not speak will doubtless lend us their
grateful approval.

A POLITICAL TEMPEST IN A COMMENCEMENT TEAPOT.
IVe do not. find ourselves In sympathy with a local protest against
the commencement Invitation of the State University to General Counsel
Thom, of the Southern railway.
There are two reasons why we dissent from the “wisdom. Justice and
moderation” of such a protest.
In the first place Its unreasoning radicalism !b more than apt to bring
about a reaction of public seqtlment that will help rather than hurt the
railroad side of public Issues'. The public of Georgia la definite In Ita de
mand for strict and thorough regulation of railroad rates and railroad pol
icies In /he state. But’the public Is not committed to the policy of pro
scribing the railroads whose great value to the people Is as well recog
nized as the necessity of controlling them. The public Is fair and Intends
to control, but-not to proscribqfor to destroy. The public does not hate
railroad men. It only desires to educate them to a higher conception of
popular rights and Interests. And the public Is likely to resent prompt
ly these attempts to make outcasts and pariahs of men who happen to
represent railroad Interests In the state and In the country.
We have never yet known’ the people of Georgia to express a
wish to shut the mouth of any reputable man who represents
any aide of a great publlo question. And the people are them
selves »o fair that they will be likely to react In aympathy toward those
who are persecuted and agalnit those who are ultra radical In persecu
tion. .
If the object of this protest be to create a reaction In favor of the
railroads, It Is wisely and aptly planned.
Another reason why we cannot lndorie this -criticism of Chancellor
Barrow and the university Is because, we cannot fall to see the genuine
damage It may work to the university. While It la true that the radical
ism of the criticism may revolt the reasonable people of Georgia. It la
also true that the criticism Itself Is likely to'create a prejudice against
the state's college among those who are not overly friendly to Its Inter
ests, and are In the habit of looking for things to criticise and condemn.
Beyond this the Inevitable trend of the criticism Is to create the Impres
sion that the university Is friendly to the railroad Interests, and there
fore unfriendly to the people whom It represents and from whom It re
ceives ltb support. What impression could be more damaging and more
unjuat to a great state Institution than thla? It seems an almost ruthless
Injustice to a college that Is In all Its history above the suspicion of dis
loyally to the people.
And the occasion Is so trivial for aqch a protest as has been made.
Here la a genial and accomplished lawyer and orator of the national
capital Invited to address a thoughtful body of students whom his glfttf
and attainments eminently fit him to entertain and Instruct. The mere
fact that he happens to be the lawyer of one of the railway systems of
the country does not and cannot Imply that a gentleman of his taate and
culture would come to the university to “talk shop," and to plead the
cause of hla corporation upon a commencement platform. The assumption
that he would do so la without warrant or reason. If anything can be
shown detrimental to the character and record of Mr. Thom, there would
be found Indeed a basis for criticism, and perhaps of protest. But the
mere fact that he la a lawyer representing a corporation should not bar
a gentleman of eloquence and character from the commencement plat
forms of any progressive state. *
Since when has the platform of the university been barred to all
except men with-whose opinions we agree? -‘a
How many men upon that platform In times past and In times recent
have spoken freely and without protest with whose convictions In poli
tics many patrons of the univeralty were not In accord?
How large a blue pencil would have to run through the list of the
half century's commencement orators at the university!
How many men would tho Populist and the Republicans and even
the Democratic patrons of the university have barred upon thla basis! '
Arc we to say to the brave, free going men wtjom the state la train
ing sit Athens to think and apeak their convtettoni, that we will only
hear the men with whom we agree—that, thoso who. differ with ua are
barred, and that men who entertain or even repreaent different Ideas
from those of the majority side of our state politics, are to bo proscribed-
from speaking on any tjuestlon, upon this platform dedicated to‘truth and
fairness and conviction. _ ;l
We lament the evidence of utter narrbwness and bigotry which such’
a position furnishes. % '(c
We do not bqlleve that.It represents the.public sentiment of the cltyi.
or the state. We do not beileve that It represents the sentiment* of that-;
great majority which voted our governor-elect Into o31ce to restrain and
correct the evils Into which railroad management has drifted.
Theresia no evidence that,Counselor.Thom, of Washington, has
any'-'/dea of niaklng’.a railroad argument upon the University platform. He
la a gentleman of tqp much policy and politeness to do that.
But what If’ he did? -What If he should choose to dlscuis and to
champion ,thq capitalistic view of the prepent economic questions before
the people? Would It be a social or a political crime to permit our Geor
gia ^outh, seeking truth, and entering upon a citizenship In which their
ballots are to express their Intelligence and convictions—to hear from
"k high, reputable and expert authority the other aide of an economic ques
tion after the one aide has been thundered so often and .so earnestly in
their; eara? * .
1 Counselor Thonr would speak In the open. If bis argument, contrary
to all expectation, should deal with the railroad question, la It not well that
our young men, who will have to vote upon these questions, should hekr the
railroad side as well as the other side? Are we to educate our youth to
hear and to know only one aide of-publlc questions and to follow blindly
and slavishly In the wake of a dictatorial majority. And have we not
our great governor-elect to answer any argument and expose any fallacy
In the counselor's plea. ,
The whole protest seems trivial and absurd. It la closely akin to
that vast absurdity of protesting against a chamber of cothmerce—mark
you a Chamber of Commerce—extending an Invitation to a great arbi
ter of freight and passenger rates to come with other men and give hla
reasons for the things against which the chamber has Itself protested,
and to confer with our business men about the policies of the future.
In the name of reason what are we coming to when free speech la to
be atlfled add only one side of public questions Is permitted to be heard
In Georgia?
As a loyal supporter of Governor-elect Hoke Smith, and a loyal ^-m-
pathlzer with the policies outlined for hla forthcoming administration, we
sincerely trust that Counaelor Thom will come to Athena and apeak as
freely and as honestly as If he were in Washington or New York.
And If we disagree with him, we shall speak as freely and as honest
ly In return. ,
But don’t let us put a muzzle.upon the public conferences of the
fittest and moat representative Chamber of Commerce In the South, and
above all things don't let ua atllle the principle of free speech and a
fair hearing In the open minds of the young men of our university.
We have not come to that In Georgia.

But the lives of William and Ida McKinley were not lived In vain, If
they have Illustrated the real beauty and the nobility of the tie which
binds man and woman In the sacred and Indissoluble bond of marriage
The homes of all the republic were bettered by their life In the White
House, and the domestic Ideals of the people have been uplifted and
strengthened by this beautiful example.
It Is In the faith of the orthodox creeds that Ida Saxton and William
McKinley have renewed In a nobler sphere the tender ties 80 widely sun
dered In the stormy politics of this less’er world.
ADEQUATE COMPENSATION FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS.
The educational conference held In Atlanta on Friday accomplished
much toward adjusting practical Issues, In a way that Indicates a more
successful future for schools of all grades and classes in Georgia.
The gentlemen composing the personnel of the conference wqrq first
and foremost practical men who have In various lines of Individual en-
deavpr already achieved success. Their opinions and thorles were of
great value, being the outcome of personal experience, and personal ef
fort. Their Intimate familiarity with the needs of the people In educational
matters, was one of the strongest qxilnts In their favor.
As Georgians whose life work has been largely within the limits of
the state, they were prepared to grapple with problems almost Incom
prehensible to men who have lived and labored where .money Is abun
dant. and the cost of an educatlotf rarely has to be considered. There
were many noteworthy speeches made by the distinguished men present,
all pitched upon a lofty plane, with the ultimate good of the children of
the state as a necessary basis. ',' ' ’ -
The address of Hon. Hoke Smith was one of the valuable contribu
tions tp the object and purpose of the conference, and touched a sympa
thetic chord, with his hearers, because of Its appeal In behalf of a cer
tain class of school teachers of the Btate. Mr. Smith, as governor-elect,
has created by the expression of his views at the conference an encour-
*aging outlook for that class of educators—the rural school teachers—
whose financial compensation has been sadly Inadequate to the duties
performed. •
Hon. Hoke Smith not only urged the importance of Industrial train
ing In the city schools of Georgia, out referred with directness and force
to the limited salaries received by teachers In tho rural schools, and to
the abbreviated school term In the country. Ho also pledged his Influ
ence during his approaching administration for the betterment of the finan
cial conditions now environing the agricultural and country schools of
the state. If It shall bo demonstrated that Mr. Smith's theories can be
come absolute realities—and there seems small excuse to the contrary—
he will have solved a problem winch haB hampered the growth and prog
ress of the state as much -as any other current Issue.
Were Georgia doing Its full duty toward the children and teachers
in rural districts, there would be little or no reason for appeals to the
charities of the people for the support of certain worthy educational In
stitutions. The time has arrived when Georgia should be equal to the.
education of every child within lto borders. Ample provision should be
made by the state for every child's elementary and Industrial Instruction
and for just and proper remuneration for the teachers who undertake
this noble work. No man, no woman can do his or her best In any
field of endeavor who does not reoelvo adequate compensation for dally
duties. The children of the state, in the cities and In the country dis
tricts, are entitled to the best possible service at the hands of their teach
ers and those teachers are deserving of, salaries commensurate with their
grave responsibilities and with their worthy efforts. Large salaries have
become a business fad, In these days of prosperity, for the men at the top,
while near the pathetic bottom there dally struggle noble men and wo
men whose salaries are mere pittances, which keep the proverbial wolf
from their cheerless doors. *
Georgia needs many more schools In the rural districts, and public
sentiment Is demanding better pay /or the teachers who labor In these
schools.
It Is related that the Jamestown ex
position is conscious that It cannot bo
properly started until Georgia has
had Us day.
If Texas and the District;of Colum

we Invite them each to bring twenty
of their maidens-to meet twenty Geor
gia maidens at Jamestown' on the
tenth of Jhne.
Once more we remark that we may
possibly have some summer next sum
mer—or perhaps next winter.
The seasons seem as mixed as
American politics. It la as hard to
tell winter from summer as it Is to
tell a progressive Democrat from an
honest Republican.
The Hon. Jim Griggs, of the second,
haa taken warning from our complaint
and has put In hla appearance In At
lanta. He la welcome. *
THE MARTYR PRESIDENT’S INVALID WIFE GOES HOME.
It la among the strange ways of a Providence past finding out that
'Ida. Saxton McKinley should have so long survived the strong and gentle
knight whose great name the bore with gracq If not with brilliancy.
There-was nev-ir a man In the White House since Washington who
wal better loved than William McKinley. He was gentle, kind and
strong. He was loyal, honest and fair. He was consistent, clear-headed
and sincere. And he waa the real pacificator of the republic, fulfilling
In completeness the mission which Henry Grady began of loving a na
tion Into peace.
Perhapa for 'no one thing waa the martyr president better loved
than for the beauty of the tenderness with which he carried through
long years the Bufferings of his gentle and Invalid wife. Hla attitude In
all stations and under all conditions toward the woman who bore his
name made the very knighthood of the domestic kingdom, and won for
him not only the devoted love of that wife, but the respect and admira
tion ot his countrymen..
It is difficult to estimate how much of opportunity and how much ot
; achievement was sacrificed by the president to the constant and unself
ish care of the Invalid to whom he was at one and the tame time jhe
trained nurre'and the devoted lover. The California trip In 1900 waa
shadowed by the lllneaa of bit companion, and while a nation hung upon
the action of the wise executive the loyal husband watched with unfailing
tenderness about the couch of this helplek* Invalid. *
It Is strange that the weak, suffering woman should hare survived
to see the strong man go out In tragedy and blood from the scenes In
which he moved sq tranquilly and heallngly, and should have lingered
If the Hon. Charles R. Pendleton
would make more frequent visits to
Atlanta we should be better able to
establish a proper equilibrium between
hla politics and hla convictions.
NOT L. H. O. MARTIN
OPPOSED BV FARMERS.
In an article in The Georgian several
days ago, It appeared that the Farm
ers' Union offered an objection to a
communication on Immigration, writ
ten by L. H. Martin, of Elberton. This
was based on Inaccurate Information,
and the card In question wos written
not by L. H. O. Martin, of Elberton,
but by T. H..Martin, of Talbotton. Oa.
State Lecturer G. M. Davis has writ
ten the following communication In
regard to the matter:
“In a personal letter, Hon. L. H. O,
Martin, of Elberton, calls my attention
to an error made In my reply to T.
H. Martin, of Talbotton. on the Immi
gration question.
I regret very much that the reply
should have coupled Hon. L. H. O.
Martin's name with the article of T. H.
Martin.
'Hon. L. H. O. Martin Is a member
of the Farmers' Union of Elbert coun
ty and Is opposed to Immigration.
This card U written In fairness to
Hon. L. H. O. Martin, for certainly
under no circumstances would I do him
or any other man an Injustice. I trust
that this explanation will be satisfacto
ry to all concerned.

GRADY BOARD MEETS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
The hospital board will meet at 4
o clock Tuesday afternoon, but the su
perintendent to succeed Dr. T. F, Brew
ster, who haa announced that he will
resign, will not be elected then.
Neither will any charges against the
Internes by the superintendent be In
vestigated. In fact, no charges have
been made.
“I am practically sure the new super
intendent will not be elected Tuesday
afternoon," stated Alderman Joseph
Hlrach, president of the board of trus
tees. ,
"Dr. Longlno and Mayor Joyner, both
of whom are members, are out of the
city and have requested a postpone
ment. It Is true that Dr. Brewster had
words with one of the Internes some
time ago. but this, -I understand, haa
been amicably settled. Otherwise, 1
know of no friction between the super
intendent and the Internes."
It Is practically conceded that Dr. J.
B. Summers!), now In charge of the city
smallpox hospital, will be made super
intendent, as predicted In The Georgian
shortly after the announcement that
Dr. Brewster would resign. It Is hardly
probable. • however, that he will accept,
unless there Is a material raise In sal
ary.
Charles W. Sldell. of 15 West Ellis
street, has submttted -an application for
the position.
The board will elect two new mem
bers .of the visiting, medical staff Tues.

Ident It. F. liuckworth, of the Georgia di

"The scale of prices on fertilizer* m
adopted by the fertilizer companies li the

bama, and the only difference In the price
In the different sections to the farmer la
the dlffemict- In freight.
, "The South Carolina farmer, the A;g-
bsina farmer and* the Georgia farmer all
pay the samp price for their fertlll^’S,
there l»elng no fluctuations and no t1...**r-
Mice, except as stated hbntv^the difference
In freight. The fertilizer companies pay
Into the treasury of the state of Georg a
10 cents per ton for the fertilizers sold
In this state. In 8ontli Carolina we are
told they pay 28 cents; In Alabama we are
told they nay 50 cents. Now why this dif
ference? linos It cost the gnnno companies
any more to sell their fertilizers In Geor-
gin than In the»« other states? think
not. Then why not force them to P«y
same tax to Georgia that they pay to other
states?”
