RECKLESS REPORTS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.
It le a matter of regret that so many unfounded and misleading
statements have been sent out from Atlanta concerning the president
since the day at Jamestown on which he did the state so much of honor
and of service by his presence and by the superb tribute which be paid
to the resources and prosperity of tho state.
There has been a degree of recklessness about these statements
which Is especially to be deplored In view of the circumstances that pre
ceded them.
Tho president's words at Jamestown, In tho opinion of thoughtful
men. were of golden value to Georgia and the South. They muat of neces
sity have directed to thla state and to this lection an attention and respect
which no amount of business advertising could have done. The preaenoe
of the chief executive, distinguishing Georgia alone of alt other common
wealths at this International exposition—hts expressions of loyalty to the
state and to the South—these conditions, It appears to us, should in the
minds of all clasaea of our cltlxens, private and professional, have sur
rounded the president with a consideration of courtesy and gratitude
which would at least havo protected him from the annoyance of unfound
ed rumors and reports reflecting In the one case upon his courtesy and
good manners, and In other cases upon hli consistency and dignity.
We cannot bellevo that there was any malice toward the president
at least, In the matter of these dlepatches, but tjiey were, to say the
least, exceedingly thoughtless, and In very bad taste.
We republish In this Issue especial dispatch to The New York
Tribune from Oyster Bay which would Indicate that the president
has been annoyed and surprised that such stories should emanate from the
capital city of the state to which be has )uat paid so gracious and sub
stantial a tribute.

projected 15 miles by the sheer force of the Initial momentum alone, and
wliy, we ask, cannot a machine be made, that will be adapted by Its
form and construction to propel Itself through the air and be capable
of Intelligent direction.
Let us call It an aermoblle.
MR. HEARST’S CONSERVATIVE TONE.
One of the notable things In reoent Journalism Is the remarkable
change In the tone of the news and editorial columns of the eight Ilearst
newspapers. A marked tendency toward moderation and conservatism
has been evident almost since the week of Mr. Hearst’s defeat In the gu
bernatorial campaign in New York.
And this tendency has ateadlly increased since that time.
Within the past few weeks some of the editorial utterances of the
New York Hearst papers particularly have been almost startling In their „
temperate tone.
The transformation Is moat Interesting and gives rlae to many spec
ulations aa to its causo and as to the probable policy of which It la the fore
runner.
In this connection It Is notable, too, that Mr. Hearst has withdrawn
his name from the editorial pages of hlB papers, and tho personal seems to
ho less and less a part of thoso great public Journals.
It does not follow that Mr. Hearst has relaxed any degree of his able
nnd unfaltering fidelity to tho cause of tho people and of opposition to
the forces of greed and graft which he has so forcibly and so relentlessly
opposed. But It is doubtful If any great series of newspapers In recent
years have recorded a more striking change In spirit and expression than
these great tribunes of tho common people.
A recent copy of Tho New York Journal speaks In terms of cordial ap
proval of President Roosevelt, who has been the black dream of the
Hearst forces since he sent Secretary Root to participate with extraordi
nary vigor In the Inst gubernatorial campaign.
Whatever Mr. Hearst docs Is both Interesting and significant, and
whatever olse may be the meaning and outcome of this change of ex
pression, The Georgian feels thoroughly confident that It means no abate
ment of tho great editorial commoner's loyalty to the cause of the people
and to tho help of tho oppreaaed.
IN THE SHADOWS
By GRANTLAND RICE, In The Tennessean.
I do not know why you have gone—I only know I alt alone—
I only know I watt In vain to catch the muelo of your tone—
I mles the gentle touch of hand that cheered me onward through the
fight—
I mles the love-light In your eyes that swept the shadows from tha night
Twas right that you should go, I know—God's will at all time* muat be
done—
And yet In taking you He took tha golden brightness from the Bun—
He took the melody from birds—no music now Is left to them—
He took tha fragrance of the rose, and left It scentlesa on Its stem.
God's wilt be done—and so I bow with aching heart—nor question why—
Yet why ahould He. In taking you, have dimmed the axure of the sky?
U’hu le 4* tin *V,~ .T-L 1 I iL. IX __ -.1.1 1 V. O
Why Is It He must hide the stars and leave the world »o cold and bare?
Or take the silver from the moon and leave a shadow circled there?
When you wero here the rippling streams made music as they moved
along—
Oh. why, dear heart, did He not leave at least an echo of that song?
And once the purple mist would fall where coming Night kissed dying
Day—
But now the twilight droops so chill—so lustreless, so dull and gray.
Was losing you not hard enough that I must lose the light of sun—
The perfume of the crimson rose and star gleams, when the day Is done?
The melody of singing birds—whsn you were here, they sang to me—
But now the world’s a shadowland—as bitter as Gethsenmne.
la It not hard enough that I should wait for your loved voice In vain;
That He must now tako all of love and leave no recompense but pain?
God’s will at all times must be done—twas right that you should go, I
know—
But taking you He took all else worth while upon this earth below.

To the Editor of The Georgian:
I read In tho Issue of Tho Georgian of
the 19th what your definition of what an
auditorium le, aud what It Is for. I think
you came nearer to defining what the ques-
tlou I* than most of the rending pub
lic can Imagine or understand, a* the
majority of nil people think that If they
have a great big, roomy bulldiug nnd ample
seating capacity Ih about all that In re
quired or needed for uu auditorium, hut, us

nnd Judgment, but not no with an audito

of Inst week the names of all tho bulldiug
committees, nnd among the lot I find your
name ns being present at the adoption of
the plan and of course subject to tho ap-
f rovnl of the city council. Well, I think
am safe to say that there was not a

LABOR AND AGRICULTURE TO UNITE.
Tho union labol will bo much In evidence In the future If the resolu
tion Introduced and adopted at tho recent session of tho Georgia Stato
Federation of Labor at Savannah Is carried to a successful conclusion.
Tho resolution provides for affiliation of organised labor with the
Farmers' Union, and three delegates wero elected to attend the next con
vention of the Farmers' Union and submit the plan as outlined by the
Georgia State Federation of Labor.
"The purposes for which the Farmers' Union was organised are ex
actly the same as those of organized labor,” said an executive officer of tho
Georgia State Federation.
"Tho products of the farm, and, In tact, all the necessities of life, have
been at the mercy of tho speculator. Consequently tho farmer* have or
ganised and new demand and will recelvo a fair compensation for their
labor.
“Until the laboring class formed an organisation, they wero at tho
mercy of the employer, who forced thorn to work for such low wage* that
It was Impossible for them to properly educate their children or provide
for their families. ,
“Since the fanners organized cotton has advanced from 5 cents a pound
to a minimum of 10 cents, and other products have advanced In propor
tion.
“Since the laborer organized wages have advanced to a point where
the children are at least receiving a common school education and a large
number have succeeded In’ paying for their cottage homes, hour* of toll
have been reduced and tho morale of the working dassos have risen to
a point that commands the respect of all.
"If these two great forcea combine the result will be even greater. "
''Thus It will be seen the advantages not only to the laboring man and
the farmer, but to the country at largo, should these great bodies Join
hands In the fight for the welfare of mankind and the upbuilding of our
great country.
“The union label la tho weapon by which wo expect to win the fight
The demand for the label has Increased until It Is to b* found on print
ing, hats, cigars, shoes, collars and cuffs, suspenders and, In fact, almost
overy ready-to-wear garment for woman or man. Now If thl* label ahould
bo stamped on the products of the farm, no union man would purchase
any ether, and the wholesale grocer, the retail grocer and the commis
sion merchant would soon understand and appreciate tho value of the
label.
•'This Is the object of the proposed affiliation of the Farmers' Union
and other organized bodies."
From the foregoing It appears that the time Is fast approaching when
onions, beets, squashes, tomatoes,and the Georgia watermelon will
bear the union label.
Delegates to the recent convention of the Georgia State Federation of
Labor are enthusiastic over the prospects of affiliation with the Farmere'
Union and the advancement of the union labol, which labor regard* as
the badge of fair dealing, fair conditions and honest labor.

The fundamental principles of construction and the requirements are
so clearly stated, airship designers will now have a definite idea and bate
to work from and no longer waste time and effort on “unmechanleal prop

of their bulk and unwleldlness for dealing auecesifully with the aero

FOURTH OF JULY THOUGHTS.
To tho Editor of Tho Georgian:
Ah tho Fourth of July I* approaching,
, tho data whan wo celebrate annually the
birth of this nntlon, It *emna appropriate
to call attention to that document which
converted the thirteen colonies Into an
Independent, self-governing commonUv. Of
course, ever/ school I toy knows that' tho
document referred to i* the "Declaration of
Independence." Hut very few achoolbovs,
and. for that matter, very few grown eitl-
lens of tbla country, are aa Intiiuntelv ac
quaint**! aa they ought to be with the
prlnclplea laid down In tho document
which created thla nation. On tho prlncb
plea laid down lu that Immortal declara
tion, thla nation was founded. It U for
the realteation of these principles that tho
constitution of the Unite*! State* waa aft
erwards formulated. And it la for the real-
Izntlon of these prlnclplea merely, that any
constitution or law* of this country,
whether atate or natlonnl, ought to be en
acted. and ought to serve.
We have long recognized the fact that
any law enactinl In conflict with tho con
stitution of the state or nntlou Is void.
The constitution of a state or of the
nation purports to aet forth nnd safe
guard tne rights nnd duties of the Indi
vidual and of the community to each other.
And any laws, which are rules aud regu
lations, enacted by the people through

No law Una any binding force If In con

ommunlty to each other, aa laid down
In the constitution.
It

In fact. It has gone so far. that
made a fetich of our constitution,
ly of our national constitution.
We have lost sight of the fact that the
constitution of the United States Is merely

“Declai" “— — •- * 1
HHI of the "iwr. ration of Independ
