Atlanta and Its Sports.
Now and then It comes home to a
man with unusual force that Atlanta
people are exceptional In their love
for out-door aporta.
Saturday waa not an exceptional
day. And yat perhaps flve thousand
people aaw the Atlanta and New Or
leans teams battle at Ponce DeLeon
park, a doaen or more regularly or
ganised teama played for pennanta of
fered for two amateur Ieaguea, a
couple of dozen other amateur teama
of various agea battled vigorously for
honor and gore and each of tho ama
teur gamei had Its circle of specta
tors.
In addition the golf championship of
the South was being decided at East
Lake and a "gallery" of nearly a hun
dred enthusiasts tramped tho long
flve miles to see the end of what the
experts declared to be the best golf
match ever played by amateurs In the
South.
Besides all this a score of tennis
courts were In service and sport lov
ing Atlanta put In a busy day.
No dty In the South can boast of
more enthusiasm In the best of out
door aporta than Atlanta. Tho people
love harmless amusement and aro for
tunately spared those branches of
sports which are kept alive only by
the betting element
Other Bouthern cities da not fare as
well. Unfortunately New Orleans Is a
city whefe much of the sport la kept
alive by the bettors and only to fur-
alah something on which to bet.
The betting on baseball In New Or
leans Is much heavier than in any city
In the league, and hence the New Or'
leans team has about as many Ill-
wishers aa well-wlihers. Eliminate
betting on baseball and closo up Sun
day games and there would bo a vast
change In the baseball situation In
New Orleans.
The other sport which fills up the
sporting pages id the New Orleans
papers Is racing. During the winter
the sport la conducted on tho big
tracks In New Orleans on a reasons'
bly high plane. But the Sunday rac
Ing and the summer racing la a dis
grace and a shame and Is sickening to
all lovers of clean, true sport
New Orleans la taken aa an exam
pie merely because It Is a city ha\-'
tng the kind of sport-loving public that
Atlanta does not desire.
The Atlanta baseball association,
tba Atlanta Athletic Club, and the
municipal government are doing the
most now for the advancement of de
cent eport.
The city la providing some diamonds
for the ued of amateur players and
will provide others. The more the
merrier. Every city park where there
Is room ought to have Its proportion.

GEORGIA, VIRGINIA AND THE PRESIDENT AT JAMESTOWN.
At historic Jamestown on this beautiful day In June, Virginia stands
aa gracious hostess to the sons and daughters of the commonwealth* of
Georgia. Gathered together at tho Tercentennial Exposition to commem
orate the achievements of the past, and to emphasize the magnificent
progress of i-c present, these two states stand In friendly Juxtaposition.
Across the blue waters of the bay, the warm south wind finds Its refresh-
leg way aa It kisses a welcome to tho flags of many nations which are
doing homage on armored cruisers to a day which the entire country rec
ognizes as epochal In the social life of the republic. Great military bands
are making the day melodious with the Inspiring strain* of "Dixie” and
of “Tho Star Spangled Banner;” brave young soldiers from Georgia are
lending their presence toward the making of the occasion one never to
be forgotten In the story of great expositions, and organizations civic and
patriotic have conspicuous pdkltlon* In the splendid parades of Georgia
Day at Jamestown. Fair women of Georgia are In charge of the social
side of tho celebration and will have as their guest the presldeat of
the republic, who, notwithstanding all the pomp and power of his exalted
position, will stand before the country today In a new and tender light
Amid all the splendor of military, naval and civic display, for the first time
since his elevation os chief cxecutlvo of the nation, Theodore Roosevelt
is revealed to the country at largo as the son of a true and noble Georgia
mother, more than aa the ruler of more than seventy millions of people.
For one whole day, amid the traditional environment of beautiful old
Virginia, Roosevelt's power and position as president sink Into small ac
count as ho greets his mother's people, hears stories of his mother's girl
hood and recalls with tender filial devotion the romance and marriage of
his parents In the old colonial Georgia home which Georgia has repro
duced at Jamestown.
For one day Roosevelt, the brilliant, aggressive politician, the domi
nant, courageous statesman, becomes the representative of a Georgia wo
man and of a Ooorgia home, who, laying aside the trappings of official po
sition, does loving reverence to his mother’s memory. As he stands to
day In Bulloch Hall at Jamestown, while men and women greet him In
the soft Southern vernacular, there will come to him the memory of the
gentle tones of a Bouthern mother's voice, and of the lullabies sung to.
him In hla restless boyhood days by this same sweet woman who had
grown up amid the fragranco of yellow Jessamine and magnolia blossoms
and who nightly fell asleep a* mocking-birds warbled In the great oak
trees about her home.
Aa guest of honor at the elaborate luncheon, Roosevelt will still be
partly the property of the great state of Georgia, and as such will receive
the respect and homage duo him from the men and women of his mother's
native state.
Ai the sun sinks behind the Virginia hills and gilds ftito royal beauty
the waters of Jamestown river, June the 10th—Georgia Day—will take
Its place among the other memorable daya In the calendar of the years,
but It will ever stand oat In unique and beautiful isolation aa the only
day In the history of the country when a strong, dominant, aggressive
world figure cast aside for a fow brief hours all the glory of bis wonder
ful achievement* to become to hla country only the loving, loyal son of
a sweet and gentle Southern woman. Georgia made appropriate prepara
tion for Georgia day at Jamestown and In so doing brought to the atten
tion of tho nation ono of the most attractive pictures In the gallery of his
toric Incidents. .
The country nnd the world at targe knew much of Theodore Roose
velt as a statesman, politician and military figure; It remained for
Georgia, on Juno 10,1907, to show to the. nations the Bplendid son of a
Georgia mother, In the home of that mother, surrounded by the loyal hom
age of hla mother's people.
Georgia day has unwittingly become, perhaps, the moat romantic and
picturesque twenty-four hours In national history.
On June 10th across the teeming, turbulent years, Georgia threw a ,
brldgo of dreams over which aweet and tender memories found their In
sistent way, connecting the magnificence of present achievement of a man
of dominant mentality with tho childhood day* of a young Georgia girl
whom fato choae aa tho mother of one of the most wonderful mon of a
moat WLVderful time. •

THE MATTER OF MARRIAGE.
TEN YEARS OP SOUTHERN GROWTH.
Walter Page, editor of The World's Work, a North Carollnan by
birth, a Southerner all the way through, but blessed by the especial ad
vantage of having lived In the great city of New York for years, thus giv
ing hint tho ability to look on tho 8outh "as others see us,” comes back
to us after a visit of two and a half months, covering almost every one
of our larger Southern cities, and tells us In words that seem almost
falryllko of tho change ho sees since a similar trip ten yeara ago.
We livo here and see our section progress from day to day. losing
sight of the grand total advance that has been accomplished In even so
short a time as ten years. Now comes Mr. Page, really the greatest
chronicler and observer that has come to tho South In a life time (not
to forgot our own Richard Edmonds who makes his homo in the South) and
tells us In facts and figures and puts In words the advance that wo aro
unconscious of.
The greatest benefit to be derived from Mr. Page's articles Is the
good it will do us personally In realising what has been accomplished.
The Georgian hai printed on its front page each day for a long time
a collection of facts under the head of "Growth and Progress of the New
South.” This la not done with a view to Interesting Investors and the
like, but wo believe we can do a great service to our own people by let
ting them see from day to day that their own section Is growing as Is no
other section of the globe..
Can you find any section where a city the slxe of Memphis built three
and a quarter millions In 1904, four and one-half millions In 1905 and six
and one-half millions In 1906; or like Richmond, where the bank deposits

Now they have separated. This woman, at
the ago of 76, wrote the young man such
letters as this: “With many blessings on

embraces, hoping aoon to tee you,

Thomas, Paine was a disturbing fac
tor In the world of theology. Hav
ing, like some of our modern think
ers and expounders, rejected the
'Apostle's Creed," he went much fur
ther In the realm of disbelief, and re
jected nearly all that a “Christian
ought to know and believe for his
soul’s salvation." But It Is gratifying
as we realize that In the field of eco
nomic discussion he has no rival as
he utters his denunciation of wrong
and oppression. His Quaker ances
try made itself felt as he wrote of
war, denouncing it as evil and only
stances, such a combination of foreign
matters, that no human wisdom can
calculate the end. I defend the cause
of the poor, of the manufacturer, of
the tradesman, of the farmer, and of
all those upon whom the real burden
of taxes fall—but above all, I defend
the cause of women and children—of
alt humanity."
In the face of "infidel teaching," It Is
saddening to read of pulpit utterance
upholding "righteous war,” and giving
tha blessing of God to those who so
engage. Let us hope that In the world

England, wrote these words:
When we consider, for the feeitnge
of nature can not be dismisseiL the ca
lamities of war and the miseries It In
flicts upon the human species, the
thousands and tens of thousands of
every age and eex who are rendered
wretched by the event; surely there Is
something In the heart of man that
calls upon him to think! Surely there
Is some tender chord, tuned by the
hand of the Creator, that still strug
gles to emit in the henring of the soul
a note of sorrowing sympathy. Let it
then be heard, and let man learn to
feel that the true greatness of a na
tion Is founded on principles of hu
manity, nnd not on conquest. War In
its progress Involves such a train of
unforeseen and unsupposed circum-
loglcal that In the end there shall be
for these and all mankind restoration
and eternal rest and peace. Groping
here In unknown paths, they lost their
way, but the wandering sheep was

THE SPOILS SYSTEM
DISCREDITABLE TO AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP
The m.n who engagea In political work with th* primary Idea of
getting offlee may succeed In getting the office; but he It likely to lose
what Is of far greater vnlu* than any office—the good opinion of the com
munity in which he lives—for the people of self-governing communities
ordinarily possess a strangely unerring irslght. which detects the spirit
In which such a men works, and classifies him as a mere politician In the
bad sense of the term, and stlgmatltee him as an office-seeker.
The spoils system la not essential to effective party organisation. On
the contrary. It tends to prevent effective party organization. It tends to
keep out of the organisation the men whose service would be moat ef
fective nnd to make more difficult the work of the men who take pert In
the organization wlt'.t the real purpose of making it accomplish legitimate
result*.
It results In elections In which the voters of the country have no op
portunity to express by their ballots their real choice of candidates or
their real opinions upon public questions.
The whole system Is pernicious and discreditable to American citi
zenship. It ought to be done away with, and political parties ought to
be brought l«tck to the sole performance of their prqwr function as or
ganizations for the promotion of principles and policies, free from the con
trol of mere office trading combination*. ELIHU ROUT.
