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. with little effort, after momentum Is attained. A thousand pound ball Is 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 you any.

Well, I see mention In The Journal 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 man In tike whole lot that could read n mechanical drawing made for the express 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. hem either personally or lu a casual . way, and they are, excuse me. hut Just lllco yourself, cun tell yon when tho building Is completed If It looks like It would have tho properties of acoustics, but for them drlt of this country and binding on Its tlxen*.

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 “ * * “ f**en(afl r " their delegates mnst constitution, an, with would be void. No law Una any binding force If In con flict with the constitution; that la. with the rights and duties of the Individual and ommunlty to each other, aa laid down In the constitution.
