THE OEOllGIAN AND NEWS bellavea that If atrent railway; can be operated successfully by European cltlsa. ns they are, there Is no good reason why they can not be so oper ated here. But we do not believe this can be dons now, nnd It may be soma years before we are ready for so big in undertaking. Still Atlanta should let Ita (ace In that direction NOW. Persoss leaving the city can havo The Georgian and News mailed to them regularly by send ing their order to The Georgian office. Changes of address will he made os often as desired. Thero are at leaat two apparent sides to every question. May we remind Mr. William (Billy) Emit btbat this Is now July? Tennis Is the only great game of llfo in which "love" la nothing! The dry wave la not confined to Georgia, its Fairbanks can testify In Indiana. It Is a paradox, but notwithstanding their racquets the tennis players are tho quietest sportsmen In the world. Most of the things that are said at long distance to the president only reach the Loeb of his ear. t The capitol Is a new place these last few days. Old thlnga have passed away anil all thlnga have become new. Representative Covington aaya the houso of representatives “Is as dry as a powder horn." Only a member In good standing can afford to say that. Tho Georgian has a fine sketch of UoprcsentsUves Scab Wright and Cov ington getting ready for their great speeches on prohibition. Japan claims a standing army of ono million men—each a Jiu jltau ex- pert Thank heaven for tho water be tween tta. Every time the president goes to Oyster Bay he becomes dumb. Influ ence of environment and a new rea son to change tbe name. Let the captious critics note that this reform Democratic - legislature promptly decided In favor of the ne gro Incumbent In the case of the con tested election from McIntosh. The Georgian congratulates Repre sentative Russell, of Muscogee, upon the evidences of hts Increasing popu larity and Influence In the houBe. Of this the chairmanship ot the elections committee Is tn evidence. Every time the Macon ball team makes a run "Fan" Pendleton ap plauds so loud that be forgets him self and thinks he Is cheering the de cline ot Bryan. Editor Pendleton Joyfully an nounces that he has bought the stock of The Telegraph. And the Southern railway gleefully declares that It has sold the Central of Georgia. With one voice. When Cltisen J. E. McAshan goes back to Texas we hereby put Tbe Houston Post on notice that Atlanta,, more appreciative than the chief city of Buffalo Bayou, has promoted the Texan tg a colonelcy. It It now Col. J. E. McAshan, and we trust Tho Post will not forget It. Count Uncle Sam always among tbe magnanimous. When be was one of the conquerors In China he took In dt-! vision twice ss much as the country' owed him. Nov that he is atlll power-. ful. he la great enough of his own ac- to give half of It back. * THE CASE OP MR. BUCHANAN. , It gives The Georgian pleasure to welcome to Atlanta and to his na tive state, Mr. Ed F. Buchanan, of Norcross by way of New York. The fact that Mr. Buchanan Is a Georgian, that bo baa tolled, that ho has dared; that he has straggled and that he has won his fortune, are matters of mere general congratulation. The point of Interest In Mr. Buchanan's visit to Georgia nnd to Georgians, Is In the fact that the winning and holding of money, has not destroyed his state pride or bis filial loyalty. What we like about Mr. Buchanan la that with millions suddenly won In the great metropolis of the country, hla first and chlefeat thought la for tbe old mother who presides over his Georgia home, and for the friends who have been linked with him In the earlier straggles of hla life. Nothing In Mr. Buchanan's life, not even the winning of his great for tune, has ever becomo him one-half so well as this broad, generous re membrance of the good woman who gave him life, and who, trained him In tho conditions which have worked to hla success. • And the fact that tbe New York capitalist comes back to Norcrosa first of all, to build a stately and luxurious home for his aged mother, re flects nobly upon the qualities within him which are better than those which made his money. It la no less a credit to Mr. Buchanan that he comes back to the little city of hla birth to spend his money In making It beautiful for the happiness and Inspiration of the people who lived with him there. This Is the spirit that makes capital not terrible but beneficent In the times lo which we live. This Is the spirit wh'.ch bridges the wide chasm between riches and poverty. , * It was In this spirit that the Beldlng Brothers with millions amassed In the great metropolis In the manufacture of thread, went back to the lit tle town In Michigan In which they were born and made of Beldlng the parlor city of the Middle States and one of the most entrancing municipal ities of tho commonwealth. It was this spirit which movhd Andrew Car negie to scatter hie money In thousands In tho village of Sklbo, whore ho was born, to moke the scenery more beautiful and conditions more de lightful for the people who were his early neighbors and original friends. And in this spirit Ed Buchanan comes back to Norcross to divide the largess which diligent and vigorous years have brought him with the peo ple who smiled upon hts struggling boyhood, and to be a benefactor, not to an alleu race or to strangers, but to tho people among whom he was born and'Under whose traditions he was reared. We don’t'care so much about Mr. Buchanan's money so far as It Is related to this city or the state. Wo have no designs about It of a selfish nature as It touches this twentieth century town of Atlanta. But we are doubly rejoiced to welcome home a Georgian who has not only won In the world's struggles and on life's strenuous battle-field of endeavor, but who has not lost In the struggle one throb of tbe loyalty to hts state or the love of his mother which stamps him as a man and a citizen wor thy ot our affection and respect. It Is at last by the tie of a mother that Georgia binds to herself to day a president of the United States and Theodore Roosevelt bows his knee to this dear commonwealth because It gave birth to the woman who gave birth to him. And of the samo spirit and of the same throb .must be reckoned Ed Buchanan who comes back crowned with successes to his native Georgia to share his earnings with his people and to crown with reverence and with comfort the fading years of bis beloved mother. We don't know what the rest of the people went to tbe Chamber ot Commerce on Tuesday to welcome. But The Georgian went there purely and simply to honor this rich man whom filthy lucre had not divorced from filial loyalty and from civic pride. MR. GRAVES AT LEXINGTON AND ELSEWHERE. The telegraphic account of Mr. Graves' speech at Lexington, Ky., car ries nothing new. Mr. Graves said no more and no less than he has said before. And what he said was drawn out by a direct question from the audl- Icnco In front ot him. Mr. Graves Is a Democrat from principle and not from interest. He loves the party from a conception of Its great mission to the people, and not In tho mere spurious loyally ot spoils. As a- Democrat ho believes after the old fashion that Democracy means nothing more or less than the rights ot man as opposed to "shackles forged by authority or privilege.” In this belief he has from the ranks urged upon hla party to seize upon the opportunity to make certain tho accomplishment of the pressing nnd vital economic reforms by continuing In office the one man who has demonstrated the power to aebtovo them. As a Democrat hopeless of healing the factions which divide and destroy the organization, he has urged that all parties should merge In support ofone great and acceptable president as they did In the Era of Good Feeling under Monroe, In order that after tills temporary merger our roal and definite Democracy might reorganize along honest and united line* In a platform on which we could win and hold tbe government for twenty years. He still believes that this counsel carries the highest statesmanship, nnd the supremeat Democratic common sense. If It be In hts power to persuade hts party to adopt It, ho is willing to stand the criticism, to puf fer the misrepresentation and to enduro the reflections, for the good that ho can do. He belloves—he knows—that whatever tho ultimate outcome, the frank, straightforward suggestion at Chattanooga hat done more to awak en and stimulate the Democratic party than all the time-serving platitudes and the truckling eulogies paid to It by peanut politicians since the dec ade began, and his party conscience la calm and serene. If the party to which ho belongs Bhould decline to accept the honest and earneBt suggestion of Its follower from the ranks, and decides tq nom inate llryan or Hoke Smith, or Culberson or anybody clso that la honest and really Democratic, you may be sure that Mr. Graves will fall prompt ly and loyally Into line and fight with all hja ransomed powers for the faith of his fathers nnd the leader who carries Its flag. This, you understand, Is tho time of preliminary counsel and sugges tion. It Is a time to express honest and fearless opinions as to the thing to do. Wo have utilized It to speak freely and to counsel fear lessly. But when conference Is ovor and the battle Is on wo ehall challenge tbe best of thorn to loyalty and service for the party that atlll carries, and will always carry the hope of the people. COLLEGE PRESIDENTS AND THE CONFIDENCE OF STUDENTS. Whenever the president of a college reaches the point where be finds himself out of touch and sympathy with tbe students, and out of touch and sympathy with the faculty, he ought In simple honesty and In plain common sense to sever his connection with the Institution. It does not matter how Btronga man may be In Intellectual attain ment, how ample hts equipment, how honeat hla purposes, and how sin cere his temper, tho fact stands that If after one or two or three years as the head of an educational Institution he has failed to win the confi dence and respect of tho student body and tho co-operative affection of hts fellow teachers, he Is just simply not fitted for this particular class ot work. This failure may not arguo that the president or chancellor,so falling may not bo worthy of respect and sympathy, and may not be fully quali fied In other ways to do good work In the world. There are men who are highly successful In other forms of life, men who enjoy the respect and confidence of their fellow men In other callings, men who have made money In other vocations who are not mentally equipped for usefulness In tho great field of education. We know men who have been eminently successful preachers, men who have won high praise as judges, men who have been conspicuous at the bar, who have failed to establish that fellowship and sympathy with a body of students which makes their whole usefulness and entire Influence In this high and responsible station. It Is an essential prerequisite to success In teaching boys that one should get Ir, touch with them and command their affection, their confi dence and their respect. The fault where It falls in this direction may be one of temperament and not of character or ot purpose or of talent. From the days of Dr. Arnold at Rugby down to the present day no teach er was ever great and useful who did not win and hold the affection and loyalty and regard of tbe body of students over whom he was called td preside. Take Chancellor Barrow at Athena! There are many men In Ameri can educational lines as well equipped or better than the chancellor at Georgia's university. There are men who have made a more conspicuous study of educational themes. Thero may be men of higher executive force, but tho fact stands that Chancellor Barrow la making a glorious success as the head of that university for tbe simple reason that each and every student In It. from the senlol leader to the freshman fag. Im plicitly trusts and devotedly loves "Uncle Dave." . And today the knowledge of what "Uncle Dave" wishes Is a stronger force In tbe university than a law of the faculty or a canon of the trustees. Walter Hill commanded at Athens the same trust and boundless confi dence of tbe young men of the university, and both of these men wero conspicuous and ever-increasing factors In education In tbe state. Now we are making no personal applications of this platitude which wo present today. If It strikes anywhere amonp the Georgia schools, let It strike wholesomely and without prejudice to the welfare ot tbe great cauao of Georgia youth. We present It without prejudice and without per sonality as a sound principle, that no other qualities, either Inherited or acquired, can take the place at tbe head of a•/ educational Institution ot those qualities which draw young men and Influence them by weight of character or heart to noble ends. Tbe Georgian trusts that this suggestion, which has a meaning not now to be mado plain, will have due effect and will make unnecessary a further allusion in a personal vein. WESTERN APPRECIATION OF CALHOUN. At the commencement exercises ot tho University of Dakota last week there was delivered among other orations, one on John C. Calhoun, whose merit Is best attested In the fact that It won first prize among tho many able and well delivered orations presented at the tlihe. It Is further notable that the award was by a unanimous decision and among {he Judges was John Buxke, governor of North Dakota. The governor later presented the diplomas and In his address to tbe graduating class concluded by saying: “May you each and every one be as loyal and true to North Dakota as John C. Calhoun was loyal and true to South Carolina.” Tbe next day The Grand Forka Dally Herald, the best newspaper In the state, saw fit to copy the prize oration In Its entirety, printing only a small section of the other orations and giving the place of honqf to this one. It Is always a pleasure to note evidences like these of the growth of a real and genuine spirit of fairness and catholic patriotism among the people of any section of the'country. Perhaps no part of the republic entertains these sentiments more loyally and more heartily than the great West. There Is something In the amplitude of Its magnificent territory, in the sweep of Us prairies, In the strenuous and manly endeavor of Its great people, which drives away narrowness, and obliterates littleness and eradicates sectionalism, and makes the spirit of the people as broad as the expanse of the horizon about them. The West is simply glorious In Its spirit of national patriotism. The editor of The Georgian knows by experience how great Is the sentiment of go6d will on the part of this great people toward the South. We have touched It In winter and In summer, In the discussion of questions both national and sectional, and we bear cheerful testimony here to the fact that we do not know In this republic a bigger, braver, broader and greater people than those who live In North Dakota and In the great West. What better practical evidence could we have than this? Here Is the leading Institution of learning In a great Northwestern state. Here Is the state's most trustworthy and representative newspaper, and here la the chief executive of that state, Joining to give the award of merit to a young and militant youth of North Dakota who chooses as his subject the greatest man whom the South haa produced, and treats his record and bis character with a touch so masterful as to elicit the discriminating and unqualified preference of these great forces ot that far Northwestern country. Platitudes are rendered unnecessary In the presence of practical evidence of catholic patriotism like this. And The Georgian, speaking .or Georgia, sends back to North Dakota the greetings of the commonwealth, and by hereditary right, the greetings of the Palmetto State, to the noble and national spirit of a commonwealth whose youth rises to the diligent study of a great American character, whose militant and triumphant forces are equally broad to commend the selection and to award the palm ot merit tor capable discussion. We are indebted to Mr. Thomas J. Bartley Shanley, once of Georgia, who sends us from North Dakota this most Interesting Incident, as a con tribution to the general truth that the spirit of sectionalism Is dead—East, center and West, and South In this republic. It Is upon sympathies so broad and a spirit so national as this that the South may confidently present Its candidates to the catholic senti ment and fraternity of a great and united country.

From The Houston Poet We said when the story appeared that we didn't believe it, and now our confidence Is fortified by this explicit statement from Colonel Grave* him self. Anything In the world which will for tify an Impression that "Georgia's Il lustrious grandson" Hill quit the pres idency on March 4, ISOS, will always be gladly received In this office. If Colonel Graves Is considerate enough of our peace of mind t,> guarantee that he will urge Mr. Roosevelt no further, then our happiness will be Increased doubly. Colonel Graves evidently does not appreciate the fetchtness of bis elo quence. It requires a strong man. In deed. to resist hts beautiful, rhythmic appeals, and so long as he Insists that Mr. Roosevelt must run there will al ways be danger of the great man at Oyster Bay relenting and consenting. Aa rugged as Roosevelt le, as stern, tempestuous, rambunctious, restless, willful, obstinate, stormy, megaloph- onous, rlpsnorting and big stlckish, he Is not absolutely proof against the beguiling music of our Georgia friend’s voice. There Is not the slightest rea son to doubt that Colonel Graves could, within the compass of a single oration, talk a cold ambition Into an Inextin guishable blase. If the colonel will promise The Post that he will no longer tempt Roosevelt, no longer urge Democrats to make him tho candidate of our party, no longer beguile the country with poetic pic tures of the happiness that would fol low a third term, no longer talk about "eras of good feeling," we shall for give him. It Is tor the purpose of wooing him away from the gorgeous dreams which Illumine his fancy that The Post has Invited him to Texas. We atlll believe that a visit to south Texas, a plungi Into our beautiful bayou, and the en velopment of a 40-pound Houston wi termelon, will bring him back to the earth and make him a factor In the practical affairs of every-day life. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. It is no new thing for the MADDOX • RUCKER BANKING COMPANY to have a Savings Depart ment. For many years they have encouraged thrift and economy in this community by allowing interest on savings accounts. With more than a million dollars be hind their deposits, their patrons are amply secured. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES ABUNDANTLY JUSTIFIED. From Harper's Weekly. The discussion of Mr. Bryan and his policies In the Southern newspapers Increases In Interest. The leading’Jour nals of the South now declare that there Is no reason for preferring Mr. Bryan to Mr. Roosevelt; that they are substantially In agreement on public questions; that John Temple Graves was abundantly Justified In nominating, as the Joint ticket of the two parties, Roosevelt and Bryan. It Is Justly pointed out that—as this ticket, al though logical, Is Impossible—Mr. Bry an could not defeat Mr. Roosevelt or any candidate whom tho president would select and who would be In agreement with his policies. Those who believe as these two men believe would prefer Mr. Roosevelt for many reasons. As one of the Southern editors puts It, Roosevelt has his record to point to; he may prove hla sincerity by what he has done, while Bryan could simply promise that he would do as well. But the Southern newspapers are also, as we have already pointed out, giving af firmative reasons for their Increasing opposition to Mr. Bryan. The Rich mond Tlmes-Dlspatch, quoting Sena tor Rayner's protest against centrali zation and paternalism, says: These are the two questions that touch Democracy at the vital point. These are the fundamentals, compared to which Mr. Bryan's government own ership and referendum proposals are aa sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. The Meridian (Miss.) Star nominates Gray and Johnson, and says that— Colonel Bryan can carry the solid South, not necessarily Including Mary, land and certainly not West Virginia, and no more. Gray and Johnson, or Johnson and Gray If preferred, could carry the solid South and without doubt the states of Minnesota, Maryland and Delaware. Upon such a ticket, whether Johnson or Gray head It, nothing Is In the way to hinder cordial and fighting union between the two wings Into which the party separated In 1896. Tho "Bryan Democrat,” If he Is a Democrat Indeed, can follow the Minnesota "regu lar,” and the "Gold Democrat" can support Gray. Meantime, both are Democrats In their uncompromising op position to the centrallstte policies of Roosevelt which menace the rights of the states under the constitution, both are tariff reformers of approved record and by clear conviction, and both are free of the tainting endearments of the "Wall street crowd.” And Mr. Bryan, as the growing num ber of Southern editors attest, Is not “opposed to the centraltstlc policies ot Mr. Roosevelt,” nor Is he such a sincere and hearty tariff reformer os the Dem ocratic party now seems to demand for Its leader In 1908. The eonteat warmly sincere and very American. LET IT DEVELOP. From The Moultrie Observer. The Macon papers seem to think that when John Temple Graves called on President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay he was a man with a mission. Tell us all you know, Mr. Graves. LOOKS GOOD TO US. From The Douglas Enterprise. And now John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, comes forward and says he ■till wants Mr. Bryan to nominate for president of the United States Theo dore Roosevelt, of New York, and for vice-president Hoke Smith, of Georgia. That looks good to us, as It Is the only way the South will ever get a man on the presidential ticket. THE REDOUBTABLE TEXAN SURRENDERS. THE WIND IN THE PINES. From The Chicago News, After a man has been married about ao long he joins the peace-at-any-prlco advocates. How dear everything Is when you want to buy, and how cheap when you want to sell! Shortly after her marriage a woman Is apt to realize that her vanity has been alt In vain. Attempt to follow the advice of all your alleged friends and It will be a padded cell for you. After a man has been married about elx months he ceases to have Illusions about women. For each bachelor who elghs because he le alone, fully a dosen married men ■Igh because they are not.

Low, low, low, blows the wind through the pines, And 'tit still on the stretch of the S lain and dark on the sky; e spirits are calm, and the gloom It Is deep In the pines; And only the etlr of the trees, and the sad, faint spund of a cry. Oh what are the spirits that move with the wind In the night, And the phantom* that creep when the dark gloom ha* routed the day? Oh what are the meanings of sighs of the wind In Its might. The sad wind that blow* through the lordly old pine* and away? Away, o’er the stretch of the plain to the terminal sea; - Away, through the valley* and glens to the uttermost regions of day. Oh, the yearnings, and sighs, and the pain of the wind that Is free. The sad wind thqt blows through the stately old pines and away! Is there evil or good In the wild wind that blows In the night? What songs does It sing to the quick and the dead and the sad and the gay? Does It speak of the pain and the wrong and the scorn of the right? Docs It tell of the good that has fled with the end of the day? Blow, blow, blow, ye night wind In the pines; Blow, blow, blow, with the spirits that move In your might. Do ye say that the morning will bring us the cheer of the sun tn the pines. And the new day will give us the whispers and greetings of Light? Low, low, low, blows the wind through the pines; . And 'tls dark on the stretch of tbe Plain and dark on the sky; And tho spirits are calm, and tho gloom It Is deep In the ptnea; And only the stir of the trees, and the faint, asd sound ot a cry. From The Houston Post. The president is protesting so vigor- ously that hla renomlnatlon now seems a foregone conclusion. THEY REDUCE US TO HUMILITY. From. The Houston Post. Well, we guess Georgia wilt not sing so boisterously In the upper register for the next month or ao. Her legislature is In cession. HE IS PALE, PLACID, POLITE. From The Houston Post. Colonel John Temple Graves wants Atlanta to decorate for tho Fourth of July. Why decorate when the colonel's Fourth of July editorial will be lurid enough to Impart a carmine tint to the whole Georgia situation? SLAYERmrORNEYS SKIP m CANADA Warrants Have Been Is sued For Their ; Arrest. Detroit, Mich., July 3.—An almost un precedented situation has arisen hero In the murder trial of Peter J. Schlaff, who Is charged with killing his wife, January 35 last. Sehlaff's defense Is Insanity, and hla counsel, McHugh & O'Nell, disappeared the first day of tho trial, sending j 'dge Connelly a note to the effect that they considered him prejudiced against the Insanity defense. Warrants havo be*n Issued for Mc Hugh and O'Nell, but they have crossed Into Canada. Judge Connelly Is deter mined to proceed with the trial, but does not like the Idea of trying a man who Is not represented by counsel. The case will be resumed this after noon. Nearly every man who has been examined for Jury duty said he would favor the man tried without counsel. MAY ISSUE BONDS FOR LIGHT SYSTEM Special to The Georgian. Mount Airy, Ga..
