OUR PLATFORM: THE OEOROIAN AND NEWS stands for Atlanta's own ing Its own gas and electric light plants, as It now owns Its water works. Other cities do this and get gaa aa low aa 60 cents, with a profit to tba city. Tula should bo done at once. THE OEOROIAN AND NEWS believes that If street railways can be operated succesafullv by European ated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and It may be somo year* before we are ready tor ao big an undertaking. Still Atlanta ahould aet Its face In that direction NOW. Penons leaving tho city can have The Georgian and Nows mailed to them regularly by send ing their order to The Georgian office. Changes of address will bo made os often as desired. let the Board Elect the Superin tendent, But— There li a great stir and protest over the proposition for the people to elect the superintendent of the city schools. In the main the protest Is well founded. The change would In all probability throw the superintendent Into ictlvo politics, and this would be B calamity to the whole cause of edu cation. It Is better far that tho se lect and deliberate board of education should continue to choose this Impor tant official. But It may be Just as well to sug gest that the present agitation grows probably out of opposition to the se cret sessions which the board of edu cation has established, and Is a fur ther protest against the unduo haste which tho board tlluatratea In making a choice. Tho discussion of today will not be In vain If It (ball serve to call to the attention of the board the popular dis content with somo of the present methods which they employ, and it will be a wholesome Incident, If It shall educate the board to an avoid ance of theao policies for the future. The people are abundantly willing for the board to elect. But the people, it we know them, would Ilka open sessions and a delib erate vote. The Birmingham Ledger. The Georgian right heartily con gratulates The Birmingham Ledger upon the thirty-eight brimming and Interesting pages which spell tho suc cessful story of Creator Birmingham, and the Birmingham district. We have rarely seen a more real and comprehensive summary of pro gressive prosperity and liberality than that represented in The I-cdgcr and its work. It is easy enough to fill any number of pages, but to flit so msny pages with articles so well written, so thor oughly Intelligent and so full of In teresting Information Is Indeed a tri umph for the newspaper and the town. The splendid volume of adver tising which The Ledger carries is a Joint Index of the prosperity of the Magic City and of the confidence which It has In the Influence and car rying capacity of Its brilliant after noon newspaper. The Ledger la one of the papers which we have always held most cod dlslly In our good will. Its president, James M. Smith, Is one ot the finest fellows in the entire newspaper rank. He has built The Ledger up actually from nothing to a strong sod admira ble position In Southern journalism. Mr. George M. Crnlkshank, the editor, is a man of fairness, force and con viction and his work Is always clean and strong, while Mr. K. F. Johnson, the managing editor, is of our own best strain of Georgia blood, descend ed from Richard Malcolm Johnson, Chronicler and historian of the middle portion of the state. The Ledger Is a newspaper of brave victions. of fair and Judicial tem- -r, of amlablo spirit and of unfailing energy and devotion. It deserves the success which Is srritten in its splendid special edition dedicated to Greater Birmingham. BOARDS OP TRUSTEES AND GEORGIA COLLEGES. We hare been Inclined for some years past to believe that the function of boards of trustees In educational institutions In Georgia has been much exaggerated and sometimes abused. The Impression has been left upon our minds by a careful observa tion that the usefulness of these boards to the general educational sys tem might be vastly Increased Jf the gentlemen who constitute them would Illustrate more discretion and less activity. From the university down through our entire system of schools, wo believe that the Interests of education and of Georgia youth would be furthered If boards of trustees would confine themselves more largely to the material Interests of the colleges and leave curriculum and dis cipline to the trained intelligence and experience of professional teach ers who are placed at the bead of our schools. One has only to consider the caliber of the boards of trustees, and their mode of selection, to appreciate the significance of this observation. It has been too much the custom In recent years to make a position up on these educational boards a means of paying political debts by publlo men In office, of rewarding friends, of strengthening political influence and of recognising personal favors. Any sort of study of the personnel of the educational boards of Georgia will indicate how rarely these im portant boardB are filled from men who hare given any particular study to educational systems or institutions, and how little of general informa tion, much less of experienced knowledge upon educational matters, is encompassed In the brains and the experience of the men who aro for mally chosen or formally appointed to direct and to control the action of the schools. Men of high standing thoy may be in general affairs, bnt Interest In education Is rarely a requisite In their selection. If there has been a lack of prosperity tn any of our greater Georgia schools within the decade. It is duo to the fact that the "zeal without knowledge” and the activity without discretion upon the part of un trained end undeveloped trustees has too often thwarted the individual initiative and the free and untrammelled experience of trained find ed ucated teachers. We know a school In Georgia that has come to bo a model of Its kind. Wo shall call no names and make no personal application, but we will express the belief that this Is one of the best, If not tbe best school, under tho supervision of the state. Its board of trustees, like other boards, was not selected with an eye single to any particular ex perience or educational fitness of Its members, bnt was selected within these last ten years after the somo random fashion of favoritism and politics that has vitiated the entire system of board supervision. But this particular board got into it* head about fire years ago an Idea essentially wise and discreet. The members agreed among them selves, upon the emergency of a vacancy In the presidency of the school, to concentrate all their wisdom, all their Judgment and their Impartial discretion Id the selection of a now president who was to embody In him self the qunlltles of equipment, experience and Information which the board Individually and collectively lacked. This was done. With great care and with absolute unanimity tbe president was selected from the ranks of the young Georgia which has progressed ao earnestly and ao heroically In educational equipment within the decado. A young man who had graduated from one of our Georgia colleges and bad subse quently by his own exertions gone through Harvard and Chicago and added a season of study In Europe to his equipment—live, vital, and practical—was put at the head of tho school. The board had the good sense to realize that he knew more about education than all of them combined. They bad the discretion to understand that his Judgment in the selection of teachers was better than theirs, and that in every mat ter relating to discipline, equipment and service, his Bhould be the mas ter and directing mind. And so with a wisdom which has been bravely vindicated in re sults, the board decided Its highest service to tho state consisted in hold ing up the hands of this wise young teacher, cooperating with his poli cies, helping him to accomplish his ends, standing by him in bis appeals to tho legislature, to the state, and to publlo opinion, and serving rather as bis cooperative friends than os his legal bosses and hli authorised controllers. In consequence the president of this college, feeling the responsibili ty that restod upon him In the attitude ot the board, appreciating tbe opportunity wblch it afforded him to win his spurs in education, conse crated bis Judgment, his Individuality and his energy to tbe school. His knowledge of the profession has enabled him to choose teachers with far greater Judgment than any member of the board could have displayed, and no recommendation of his has ever failed to bo promptly Indorsed by the state's representatives who sustain him. lie has made his own faculty; he has established his own curriculum; he has added his own Improvements; ho has been given a free hand In the execution of his own wlso policies, and today under this system ot primary selection, follow ed by the responsibility of tho president and the cooperation ot the board, tbe school stands at the head of tho list ot similar sohools in the state and the 8outh and la without a superior anywhere In tho country. If this board had been tossed at every meeting between factions anxious for political advantage, it it had been fretted by partisans seeking to fill the professional chalra with personal favorites or political allies, if It had boen concerned to establish new positions In order to roward certain Individuals, and If Its own deliberations bad been handicapped by Jealousies and tactions within, this great school would today havo been adrift and entangled In mistakes which are fretting so many educational institutions of the country. Tho state of Georgia has just been enriched by nearly a dozen great agricultural schools under the maintenance and direction ot the state. In each one of these there are boards ot trustees appointed by the govern or and chosen perhaps as has been the custom for a quarter of a centu ry. The Georgian with a deslro to be useful to these hopeful Institu tions and to the cause of education, commend* to them the example of this model school to which we have referred. There are a multitude of material things—money, publlo opinion, prosperity and enoouragoment—In which trustees can be ot vast service to their schools. But If these 'gentlemen are wise they will choose first ot all some discreet, practical and successful teacher to head these various Institutions and then they will give him rather their helpful co-opcratlon than bur den him with advice or handicap him by resolutions and policies from their own Inexperionced minds. From the university down, let trustee* give a free band to wise teachers rather than meddle eagerly in things which they know very lit tle about. "BECAUSE ANOTHER PAPER STARTED IT." Nevepapers are, after all, tbe expression of the character, conscience and temper ot the men who cpnduet them. And the general public, dlstntereited and serene, measures the merit and conduct of newspapers aa It measures the spirit and customs ot men, admiring the lofty and noble, and despising tho little and mean. Newspapers do not always realise the Intelligent judgment at the public, but those Judgments are unvarying and clear. Tbe email Jeal ousies, tho little mean reflections, the sneaking depreciation! of one who hnppens to be a competitor or a contemporary, are all noted and condemned by that high clear public opinion which does not always speak, but which Is always awoke and cognisant. Tbe plcayunlah in journalism Is as promptly despised as the mean sad spiteful In the Individual. And how foolish as well as mean le the spirit In a responsible news paper that would refuse Us Influence and support to a worthy public movement, simply because a competing newspaper happened to be first In suggestion and advocacy! Consecrated to public service, and dependent upon public favor, this public voice choose* to be. silent upon a public Issue, and to permit a public wrong or neglect a publlo good, simply because another paper was the first to mention it! How Infi nitely small! Tho Georgian does not propose to be personal or offensive. Wo shall call no names, and the incident le merely mentioned to point tbe moral and to emphasize tho protest But within the week behind us, when the great, big. broad general proposition of a Fourth ot July cele bration was presented—Involving state, national and municipal patriot ism, taking In the interests of our merchants, tbe welfare ot railroads, sod stores and a hundred Institutions, not to epeak of the refreshment and enjoyment of the people—a certain newspaper when approached to secure Its cooperation responded: “Well, we don't know. You see the other paper started It!” What sort of a spirit Is this for the big, broad day In which we live? What sort of a public Journal Is It that would alight the public service rather than give wings to a good thing that another Journal merely happened'to suggest? It Is high time for public opinion to frown upon exhibitions of mere littleness In corporations. Journalistic or otherwise, that ought to be great. There are always going to be newspapers, more than one, to seek tbe favor and to serve tho Interests of Atlanta and the state. There Is room for all, and glory for all, and service for all. And no paper Is go ing to kill competition or destroy Individual merit by mere smallness of spite, or meanness ot innuendo. It never has done It, and it never will, while the Georgia head Is clear and the Georgia heart Is fair. A spirit like this Is a boomerang that comes back to fret and harass Itself. It Is unworthy ot a man, and much more unworthy of a great newspaper that assumes to stand for every Interest of the people upon whose patronage'it lives. May we protest that Tbe Georgian is not fashioned on this plan? We are pleading today on this page with all heartiness and vigor, a cause whoso first advocacy came from tbe nearest and . strongest competitor with our own prestige and prosperity. When we fall below the willingness to do this we shall be uawortby of tho prosperity which we enjoy. The public service Is above our private prejudices. THE GREATER ATLANTA NOW A NECESSITY. The word cornea that Atlanta’s dearest rivals in the race for popu lation are awake and astir In the matter of enlargement There Is scarcely a Southern city of Atlanta's class that Is not now in the throes of a movement for the absorption of additional - territory and the acquirement of other thousands of people within its municipal limits. The greater Memphis, the greater Nashville and tho greater Birmingham are all on tho way with an eager and ambitious eye upon the next general estimate ot population. While New Orleans, already great. Is preparing now to add to its present limits a new and compara tively undeveloped territory twice as large as that of .the proposed Greater Atlanta. Tho next census will tell a story of tremendous Import to Atlanta. Either Atlanta will stand where she belongs, as the third city of tho South In population, and tho first in popularity, or she will be left strand ed by the apathy and dullness of her people, with her prestige lowered and actually below Memphis and Nashville In the record ot her popula tion. _ ^hat this official announcem eat would make a calamity—commer cial,’ political and social—for Atlanta, no thoughtful and loyal cltixen will fall to realize. It must be forestalled and prevented. Tbe movement for a Greater Atlanta was simply a falling In line with the munlcIpaL spirit of Southern towns. It was a natural sugges tion that Atlanta should do what other cities were doing and do it vig orously. And now that we are all into It, Atlanta Just cannot, under any cir cumstances, afford to be left behind. The whole repute of tho city for en terprise not less than for population and civic Importance, is at stake. The Atlanta spirit Is tn the balance, and the scale must fall on the side ot progress. We hold our own or we go backward. We trust that no political or other body In this municipality will throw any obstruction in the way of Greater Atlanta. Let It come quickly and let it come unanimously. , Tbe larger city is now a necessity. Governor Hughes, of New York, like the true man that he Is, signed the bill for a recount of the ballots cast tor William R. Hoarst and George B. McClellan in 1905. In signing the bill tho governor declared that it was warranted by publlo policy and that the denial of the relief asked by Mr. Hearst had become a “grave public scandal.” No little man could talk like that Perhaps It might be just as easy for tho New York Tribune to get Its Atlanta dispatches from some one who Is familiar with the truth.

BUCKET SHOP CASES TO COME UP TUESDAY DIRECT TO SPINNER COTTONJS SOL! McEldery Declares Livei pool Is Full of Commer cial Bandits. Birmingham, Ala, June 24.—"Livei pool Is full of commercial bandits, an If anything. Is equal to tf not wort than the New York cotton houses, wii must have their ‘rake off 1 under th guise of all sorts of wharfage, carl age, dockage, tare lossage and broket age charges.” The foregoing is the opinion of Get McEldery, a delegate to the Interna tlonal Cotton Congress, who has Jus returned from Europe. Mr. McEIder emphatically saya It will pay the farm ers to ship their cotton direct to th spinners at Manchester rather than t Liverpool, and that cotton can be soli In the fields or at the nearest rallroai station In the South, direct to the con turner at Manciiester, saving more that 21 per bale on every elilpment to Llv erpool. The result of tho congress was prac, tlcally to eliminate the Intermedlar] and make sales from first hands In tht fields to tho spinner, possible.

Unless you aro rich enough to own or hire a carriage, and as only a very small percentage ot the people In the world have money enough to Indulge In title extravagance. It is taken for granted that you art an- occasional ’straphanger." This being the case, here are ten commandments that you might study, along with the gorgeous Instructions on how to get on or off the car: Say “Thank you" when given ■eat, whether you mean It or not Nover step upon a fellow-passen ger’s toes. He needs them to walk with. 3. If you do. say "Pardon me," will make them hurt lees. 4. Move up occasionally. You only pay a nickel for the ride; don't take up a dime's worth of space unless you pay for It accordingly. 6. Don’t, please don’t, get the habit of reading your neighbor’s paper or magazine. He bought it for his own perusal and Is not engaged tn the philanthropic occupation of running a circulation library. 6. Don't plant yourself at the rear door when there is plenty of room up front Everybody else does that—be an exception. 7. Avoid talking scandal or gossip In the hearing of every one else In the car. This Is not a pretty way. 8. Don’t plump your child or your bundle Into the seat beelde you. Some one else might like to sit down. Don't get into a dispute with the conductor. He Is a human being like yourself, and probably bos a wife and children to support. 10. Don't allow your offspring to wipe his muddy feet over the people on each side of him. And I am going to write an elev enth—don't use your elbows, especial ly It they are sharp. Have you noticed that the street car glutton Is disappearing, or at least growing beautifully leu? Ho Is. He flourishes In the summer time, but when cool weather comes he vanishes. But even considering that ti e street car hog Is disappearing, one still sees many acts of discourtesy In the cars. 1 heard a man say only last week, "1 have heard people complain about being compelled to rtde with dirty, greasy workingmen from the mills and the streets, but I tell you light now I would rather ride with a crowd of dagos or hunktes than with a bunch of women. The men mind their own affairs, take as little room as possible and let one alohe, but the women chat ter and atep on one'a toes and glare if every man In the car does not rise at once and give up Ills seat, and I have yet to hear the first one say “Thank you.” Ugh! This Is a mean shot. But It's up to the women to prove that tho man Is not right In what he says of them. ANYBODY, ANYWHERE, ANY TIME Can get The Georgian and News sent to them.

P ROFESSOR William L Thomas, ol the Chicago University, hu writ ten what he calls a book on ths above subject, which for meaningless platitudes, Incoherency and disgusting suggestions surpasses anything that has ever been penned on the sacred subject he essays to discuss with un blushing freedom. If the excerpts which I have read are In any sense correct, I am amazed that any man, a professor In a co-education- al university, would put In print euch a diatribe. I blush to confese that I have read and re-read every word that haa ap peared of this publication, and I have failed utterly to extract a single pur* thought that proves anything touching women. . . _ His mind seems to hava been wholly occupied with the animal that Is In mankind. He paya a poor compliment to his mother and his wife, If ha he* one, If there le any meaning In what he says in regard to ths morality and modesty of women. “Morality Is pre-eminently an adult and a male system, and men are Intelli gent enough to recognise that neither women nor children have passed through this school. It Is on this ac count that, while man Is merciless to woman from the standpoint of personal behavior, he exempts her from anything like contractual morality.” • It Is difficult to understand what he does mean by such a string of Incon gruous sentences. The concise definition of morality in Webster Is “the practice ot duty; obe dience to the moral law; virtue; good ness.” The gender of tho word Is not given, and one wonders where Profes sor Thomas got his authority to denom inate It masculine. Morality Is a vir tue equally admirable In men and wom en, and not, as Professor Thomas would have one think, not expected In women and children, and he should have added Idiots, as men of hi* etamp are wont to do. In classifying Irresponsible human It Is little wonder that there Is «o much complaint of demoralisation or young people and tha assertion that a majority of them have false Ideas of life and their duties, when books of the character of Professor Thomas The Adventitious Character of Woman, ana Mrs. Parion's “Trial Divorce theories aro allowed to be distributed broadcast, both of which have wrought Incalcula ble wrong to old and young. Professor Thomaa has written so plainly upon the most sacred relations of life as to excite the Indignation of every pure-minded person. He dis cusses topics that should never *> mentioned In print, and makes tlons that are absolutely revolting to one with a particle ot refinement, and yet, unfortunately, ho Is a professional educator. __ It seems high time that someone was appointed to censor the literary produ- tlons which emanate from universities, ao that the public might know the In lluonce under which the characters students ore being formed.
