Changes of address will be made as often as desired. few 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. The physical training and strength ening of Atlanta’s rising generation la close In Importance to Itc mental training and nothing can be of more help In the bodily development end few things in the mental development 1 rlentv of ont-door exercise*. i 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. • PRES.

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 Increased 4i0 per cent In ten years?

Now they have separated. This woman, at the ago of 76, wrote the young man such letters as this: “With many blessings on yonr precious bead and wUh many trillions of aweet, warm kisses and tight embraces, hoping aoon to tee you, always your Tovlng, devoted Bar- S iretta."

Captain By WILLIAM RILEY BOYD. 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.

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.
