KINDLY WORDS FOR THE SOUTH AND FOR
SOUTHERNERS.
The recent unveiling of the splendid monuments erected at Richmond
to the memory of President Jefferson Davis nnd to General J. E. B. Stuart,
with the ceremonies Incident thereto, have called forth a variety of edito
rial expression In every part of the country.
Perhaps nothing of late occurrence so thoroughly demonstrates tho
softening Influences of lime and the healing touch of the passing years as
the kindly editorials which have appeared In many of tho leading daily
Journals of the North.
A generous comprejienalon of the spirit actuating the people of the
South Is noticeable to a marked degree in the comment* of the editors
of Northern dallies and weeklies whose Influence Is far-reaching and be
neficent In bringing about klndfler and more satisfactory relations between
the people of the various sections of the country.
That sentiment which dominates all classes of Southerners, namely,
the jierpctuatlon of tbo dauntless heroism and magnificent courage of the
then of '61-65, has begun to find sympathetic comprehension with the
men .of the North, who realize that all heroism and all courage, no matter
on which side of the great conflict manifested, stand to the eternal cred
it of men who first and foremost were and are Americans. Men on
both sides of the conflict are now able to discuss dispassionately the
struggle, which only a comparatively abort time, ago brought unspeaka-
able suffering and hardships In Its wake, and devastated as with the
burning breath of the God of War the fairest land under the blue heavens.
That this condition of quiet, unprejudiced consideration of events of
such portentous magnitude has become general Is one of the most en
couraging Indications for the future of the South and of the nation.
Among the trtost satisfactory and brilliant editorials upon the Uno
just referred to Is one which appeared within the past few days In The
Philadelphia North American, and deserves to be widely read In every por
tion of the republic.
In discussing at much length the South and Its manifold problems, The
American says, In part:
“Surely It Is a good thing that tho rolling years cover and
smother and extinguish the hatreds which once flamed with
fierceness. The time was when Englishmen disinterred Oliver
Cromwell's body and subjected It to Indignity, but tho Englishmen
of our time have set up his statue at Westminster, within gun
shot of the place where Charles I was beheaded.
"We are, perhaps, much too near to our own civil war to per
mit us with perfect clearness to perceive the full proportions of
the virtues of the foremost Southerners; but, when the Southern
people put up at Richmond a statue of Jefferson Davis, or of Gen
eral Stunrt, sb Just now they have done, we may at least consent
to respect the sentiment that moves them.
"This will be the hardest for the people who lived In the
war time—soldiers and civilians. The Impressions of youth are
likely to be lasting, and the hatreds of the war were furrowed
deep Into the men of that generation by frightful suffering.
“There was a time not forty years ago when the very name of
Jefferson Davis was regarded by Northern peoplo with almost fe
rocious bitterness. Rightly or wrongly, but probably for the
sole reason that he was the foremost figure In the rebellion, he
waa held to a peculiar responsibility for that movement and, In
deed, waa supposed to embody the very spirit of It.
"But now, when the Bouthern people confer especial honor
upon him, nobody In this part of the land cares, excepting, per
haps, to feel respect for, If not absolutely to approve, the feelings
thus manifested.
« • * • * *• • • * *
"But tho questions around which the war raged have been
settled and settled forever. They have passed out of the realm of
contention aa completely as the issues between the loyalists and
the patriots of the revolution.
“This being the Indisputable fact, It la Inevitable that the
modern man In tho North should begin to discern and to appro-
- elate the high qualities exhibited by the valorous men of the
South during the strife.
• «••• •• • * • *
"To ndmlt the marvelous skill of the generals and the amazing
bravery of the soldiers of the South la to honor, not at all to dis
honor, ourtelves. A great American, Bpeaklng in England during
th* war to a hostile British mob, was asked. 'Why didn’t you sup-
E reas the rebellion In ninety days?’ Ills answer was, ‘We would
ave done It If we had been fighting anybody but Americans,'
and there may have been warrant for the assertion.
• • » • • • • • « * •
"Tho Southorn people have a right to -he proud of their he
roes ns we are proud of ours, and 1* they should fall to honor
them they would be unworthy to claim kinship with tho brave
- and mighty men who stood for the cause and fout'ht for It and
lost It.
• *••• • • » » » •
"It Is, however, required that the North atould give to the
South something more substantial than sympathy. Through four
decades that region has paid In poverty a heavy debt of suffering
for Its secesilon movement. T he time Is at hand when it should
have a larger chance to taste tho high prosperity that has coma to
the rcat ot the land.
"The enrlchmont of the South Is not n Southern, but an
American question. Tho full development there of all the possi
bilities of wealth means almost as mucH to the North and (Vo
West as It does to tho Southern people themselves.
"While tho South la still far behind the North In wealth
and Industrial achievement, there la really no causa tor discour
agement. Forty yeors, after all, la not a long time In which to
work out recovery from the devastations of one of the most ter-.
rifle wars that ever scourged the human race.
"We arc confident that the time will come when the possi
bilities of the South will attract both n)»n and money, when polit
ical thought will bo as free there aa It Is In the North, and when
tho negro. Instead of being often nq Incubus, will be transform
ed Into a serviceable Industrial Instrument.
"Tho young men of the South, like the young men of the
North, turn their faces to the future. For them, also, the war Is a
dead laauc. No harm will come to them or tb us If, while they
puah thelc.reglon f<|wnrd to better things, they atop once la a
while to' remember and to honor their mighty dead."
MERELY ANOTHER NATURE FAKE
CONTAGION OF THE PRESIDENT'S POWER.
In shaking of President Roosevelt's effort to supersede state aov-
erolgnty by federal power, Collier's for June 15 says;
Several statesmen, by a coincidence which ahowi how com
pletely our minds are focused on this one thing, chose, for tbelr
Memorial Day messages to the people, the same subject—the
changing boundary line between the little old state capital, Ban
gor, Frankfort, or Little Rock, and that bulging dome at Wash
ington. Prealdent Rooievelt laid down a policy of future exten
sion of the Fedora) power, at the expense of state power, which
Is called, by a newspaper not given to hysterical overstate
ment, "the moat revolutionary proposition evor put forward by
a chief executive of tho nation." Mr. Bryan at Norfolk, Sena
tor Forakcr at Steubenville, and a powerful Republican, Chair
man Tnwney, ot the appropriations committee, all cried out. In
different keys and with varying notes, warning and protest
against that extension of the Federal power which has already
taken place. Of all these, this much may be said of that one
who has the widest audience; his guess at what will be beat for
all the iienplc a hundred year* from now la a little more sure to
lie suggested by a complete and unconscious sincerity. He at
no reason to practice Insincerity. IBs grip upon the hearts of
this nation la aueh now, that (the, on any occasion, had said the
opposite of what ho did say he would not have diminished by a
single unit the latitude and longitude of hit popularity. He Is
not. like Mr. Bryan, under the necessity of hunting for flaws, of
creating opposition, of refusing to ndmlt approbation, it he should
feel It. for the policies of the party In power. And the prealdent la
completely free from the suspicion which attaches to Mr. For-
aker—may we do him no wrong In uttering It—that the Ohio
senator Is not so much a disinterested statesman, with eyes
fixed upon n hundred years hence, as an advocate for Interests
more concerned tn Here nnd Now. Moreover. Prealdent Roose
velt's ethical Impulses In tho past have been such as to create
confidence In them now. On the whole, hla guest at what must
be for all an Intellectual speculation, at what will be best for
the fourth generation, has a big advantage over all others by
reason of his sure disinterestedness and hit freedom from shack
ling conventions ot thought.
Novelty need not terrify. The mighty prominence of tho
source of this new Idea wilt focus upon It the thought of the na
tion. and discussion of It will furnish Interest In the fabric of
our government, and Intellectual stimulation, high and low. AU
this Is well, and as s practical matter there Is no occasion for
hysterica. The president's dictum does not become law by hla
say-so; even though congress. If they arc penuaded It Is good,
should make It a law. yet after that the snpreme court can un
make It Only they, the Nine that alt In Judgment, can sanction
change* In thla government eo vital as the prealdent propose!.
Lacking the stamp of their deliberation and approval, this sug
gestion has no more potency than hla recommendation to Coh-
ncllsvllle folk to be good to their wives, to the Michigan farm
ers to ratio large families, and to the nature-writer* to be truth
ful. Better Indeed than law or fiat, more effective for Individual
happiness and right living than any change he may effect In the
constitution, are these homely conntelt, the bolding up of ilmplo
virtues, the energetic admonitions to better living, of which the
president, from rear platforms and In public communications, 1b
the perennial source. His position gives him the power, and
he has tho Impulse, to make the Ten Commandments fashions-
ablo, and of simple honesty, courage and clean living, a vogue.
In the eyes of youths, hla very position, together with the mar
tini and the huntsman legend, make him a hero; and parents, in
setting up Ideals, have this powerful help. Men who never saw
him are, as public officials or simple citizens; stimulated by the
the mere contagion of bis example and the energy of his pre
cepts. ‘ 5

Dixie blood, President Roosevelt

EXPOSING A FAKER.
(From The Washington Herald.)
To The Atlanta Georgian we extend
sincere assurance! of our moat distin
guished consideration. It has exposed,
righteously and Completely, the diabol
ical and utterly aDnndoned methods of
that prince of all newspaper fakers,
the esteemed and vainglorious Houston
Post.
For many moons The Post haa brow
beaten and bulldozed Its contempora
ries with Impossible raving anent tho
greatness of that section of the wild
and untamed southwest yclept Texas.
Black bass that fatten on jack rabblte;
watermelons that weigh 120 pounds
each; strawberries that grow In the
streets; hens that lay sufficient eggs
to pay th* freight on their shipment
to far distant points—these, and scores
of other equally Interesting happenings,
have been chronicled In The Post, and
for no other reason than to humiliate
and needlessly embarrass helpless and
ortrcreduloua Americans without the
Lone Siar State, who. not being able
to swear 'to a contrary outlay of facts,
must need* keep silent and hold their
peace.
Says The Georgian:
Recently Houston battened down
together with personally
Sunday* Journeying* to Galveston,
where the ltd was off. But that did
hot avail, and now The Pott Is writing
long and eloquent panegyrics on Hous
ton water!"
There, gentle reader, you have th*
full measure of The Houeton Pott'*
rank UepVavtty laid bare In all of Its
hideous meanness. There Is no sin
cerity tn the paper'* exalted eulogies
of Texas water. It never tasted water,
likely enough, until driven to do to,
and then In sheer self-defenee. Never
theless and notwithstanding, it come*
to the bar of public opinion and bra
zenly. not to *ay unbluehtngty, a»-
sumeB a virtue It knows not, and seek*
to lend people outside of Texas to think
that It assimilates water with eome
degree of satlefactlon and content.
More In sorrow than In nnger wa
take our stand beside the truth-loving
and conscientious newspapers of the
land, anil abandon The Post to un
trammeled treading of the primrose
path of persistent prevarication. As
a natural-bom. blue-enameled, copper,
riveted. Iron-Jawed, fartlle-bralned,
unparalleleld nnd unrivaled perverter of
facts and distofttr of truth. It I* In a
class by Itself. Age can not wither
nor custom state, Its Infinite variety.
Beside It. Ananias was n mere piker,
and Sapphlra a lady-tike but hopeless
amateur.
We stood for the black bass atory. I
and our Incredulity aa to tome of the
others was at least polite; but when
The Post undertakes to warble paeans
of praise to water—of all thing*, water
—we leave that paper to Its deserved
fate, and retire to company perhaps
more mnllycoddllsh but. nevertheless,
more respectable.
AN ERROR IN DATE.
Ital from Mllledgevllle to Atlanta. The
colonel la in error, I think. The voting
occurred several years later. At the
time of election between Governor
Gordon and R. B. Bullock, I was too
young to vote, and was living In Thom
son, and at the time the capital -was
voted to Atlanta I was living In Nor
wood and voted for Mllledgevllle.

ARKANSAS IS FLOURISHING
ON 2-CENT PASSENGER RATE.
To the Editor* of The Georgian:
Having Just returned from a two
weeks’ trip In Arkansas, where thore Is
a 2-cent flat passenger rat* now In
force, I want to say a word concerning
the proposed reduction In railway pas
senger fares In Georgia. What we want
In Georgia Is a fiat 2-cent rate, open
to everybody, and anything less than
this Is not worth considering. If there
Is any loss In revenue to the railroads
In Arkansas, It It not apparent In their
crowded train*. Neither Is there any
let-up In construction work. There are
more railroads being built In Arkansas
than In Georgia at this time. If you
compare these two states you wilt find
that Georgia has more population nnd
more wealth; so that the argument fre
quently made, with reference to Ohio,
nils to the ground when Arkansas la
considered. Missouri has a 2-cent rate
to take effect June 16. Illinois' 2-ceht
rate goes Into effect July 1. Is Geor
gia to turn and compromise, and be
the last to give Its citizens a 2-cent
zate for a 2-cent zervtce? Yours very
truly. ■ i !

PROTEST AGAINST CONDITIONS
IN LOCAL WHI8KY TRADE.
To tho Editor of The Georgian:
- With your permission, X would like
to ask If the people of the great city
of Atlanta know there la within their
midst a whisky trust? You can ask
*0 per cent of the saloon men whom
they lease their property from nnd they
tell you at once that they are leased
from B. •* B.
Now, how le this done? This great
octopus goes around here and leasee
every piece of property that It can
lease, where there is a likelihood of
there being a saloon, and then when a
poor human being wishes to start a
saloon, what la the first thing he does?
He has to sub-lease from B. A B. and
Is forced to buy hla whiskies from them
or he can not do business.
Why doesn't the city council pro
ceed with the enforcement of that
law that was passed here last year,
which compelled tht tenant and the
man who gets a license from the city
to exhibit a bona fide lease of the prop
erty he wishes to use, not from-B. A 8.,
but from the landlord? They may eay
B. A B. only guarantees the payment.

A GOOD NAME
W. J. LAMPTON, In “Fame."
Sam Brown he kept a great big store,
And advertised his goods,
Till in a dozen years or more
He wash't in the woods.
Not nch was Sam. He had a wad
Of comfortable size,
As do the great majority.
Of men who advertise.
Now, when a man has made his wad,
He buys a horse or two,
Or three or four, and tries them out
, To see what they can do.
Sam had a dozen, but on one
He set his heart and pile,
And trained him for the County Race
To do the fastest mile.
Sam called him “Advertising,” and
His friends all asked why he
Shnuld givo a horse a name like that,
And Sam said they would see.
They laughed at him nnd at his horse,
And they guyed the name he had,
But Sam. he never said n word,
Though sometimes he looked'sad.
Well, by nnd by the race came off.
And Sam’s horse won, hands down,
And what Sam gathered in on bets
Almoet broke np the town.
“You see, dear friends, ” Sam grinned at them,
While emptying out their skins,
“I called him ‘Advertising,’ for »
I know that always wins.”
