DEATH OP SENATOR PETTUS. * Tho sudden, unexpected death of Senator Edmund Winston Pettus of Alabama, which occurred.Saturday night at Hot Springs, N. C.. removed from tho Held of national politics one of the most Interesting and unique characters In modern American history. Born eighty-six years ago, bravo Revolutlonaty stock and of a moat honorable lineage. In Lime- . atone county, Alabama, Senator Pettus bad the advantage of a common school education, and later of a colligiato course which prepared him for his long and useful career. He was admitted to the bar at early as 1842, and from that time bis life was a series ot upward steps, which culminated In a war record during the fateful days of ’61-’65, which re flected great credit upon him as a courageous lighter and as a leader of men. At the close of the Civil War, as a Confederate brigadier general, he retired to private life, again taking up the practice of law at his homo at Selma, Ala. ■ Only, within the past ten year* has 8cnator Pettus been a figure in national, politics, but from his csrly manhood he had been an Important factor in the politick of his natlvo state, Alabama. His counsel and ad- vice were of Inestimable value to the people of Alabama, and were given without hope or expectation of reward. He apparently had but small ambition for political preferment, and on more than one occasion de clined high honors, which other men greedily coveted. As Judge and so licitor,'Senator Pettus made an enviable Impress upon the legal history of Alabama. r In 1896 Edmund Winston Pettus was made United States senator from Alabama, and from that time, quietly, but forcefully, be took his position as one of the strong and notable members of the national sen' .ate. He had not that gift of oratory which appeals to the Imagination of men, but he had'the power of arresting and holdlng tho attention of tho senate whenever be addressed that distinguished body. Only a. few week? ago Senator Pettus was' unanimously, reelected to his elevated office by the legislature of Alabama, thus .'evidencing the great hold he had upon the hearts of the people of his state. ' Sturdy, rugged, loyal and knowing no shadow of turning where prin ciple was concerned and tlpc wolfarO of his people involved. Senator Pettus wnl' also‘'(he' Ideal Southern gentleman In heart, manner and ap pearance. - t ** The fact of hla sudden death emphasizes tho pathos of his associa tion with his very distinguished colleague, the late Senator John T. Mor gan, whoso death occurred only a few weeks ago. From early manhood they were warm friends, later partners In the practice of law, resided in the same town of Selma, belonged to the same school of politics and served together In the national senate, the most notable and picturesque pair of statesmen In that body of remarkable men. Both of these men, over 80 years of age, had the honor of unani ■nous roelectlon to their elevated office a few weeks ago, and now both men have fallen on sledp, within a few days' of each Other, and both will rest In the beautiful city of Selma honored and esteemed not only by tho people of the state they so worthily represented, but by the country at large. , - , Be it said to the eternal credit of both theSe'remarkable men, Mor gan and Pettus, they died poor, as the world reckons riches.- After nearly a century ot opportunity, Senators Morgan and PcttuB went to their final account with clean hands, leaving no stain upon their long, useful and ■ honorable lives. THE LEGISLATURE AND THE PULLMAN OAR. This reform legislature will scarcely have completed Its work with tho transportation agencies of our tlmo until It gives a little attention to the Pullman Palace Car Company. The Pullman Company has always been “the spoiled darling” of tho railroad world. It has been petted and humored and sought after and pampered to by the railroad Bystems of tho country from Its first en trance Into tbo field, of transportation. . The Pullman Company does not pay the railroads of the country for hauling Its ears, but tt ta paid by tho railroads for permitting them to haul Its cars along their flii'es. We do not know the present fco, but it was at one time the custom that the rallrpad systems paid tho Pullman Company 3 cents a mile for every car that travoled over tholr lines. While an essential comfort and a genuine luxury, the Pullman has also been a great money-maker and an absolute monopoly. Thero are two things which tho public would like to see dono and which ought to be dono by tho Pullman Company. It ought to be required by law that unless it Is necessary tho up per berths should bo left up when a passenger Is sleeping in tho lower. The present custom Is to conflno a passenger who pays $2.00 a night In tho lower berth, and, evon if he is the only passenger In the car, to confine him by lowering the upper berth upon him, to Inclose him In a narrow, stuffy area .like a box for the entlro night Of.course, when the company has other passehgers, and can sell the upper berths, they can not be, blamed (or doing so,.but.tho law ought to Intervene’to provent this 'disoomfortjtQ paasfchgersi whon It Is not necessary. No man sleeps In a stuffy, narrow berth ot a Pullman car during a tedious nigh? with out feeling some life and vitality gone out of him from sheer‘lack of oxy gen. Of course, whon it Is necessary It has Jo bo done, but the law ought to prevent It when It Is not necessary. What one state has done, another may do. Wisconsin has already passed a bill requiring Pullman companies to put up tho upper berths in stooping cars when they are not occupied, and this progressive action ot Wisconsin may be very wholosomely .considered by Georgia. It Is alto perfectly Just that sleeping cars should charge loss for up per berths than for lower berths. Every botq) charges for its rooms la proportion to comfort, eligibility and oonvenlenee. and the gpsiengor who hat to climb a step ladder to $ narrow, little cubby bole up against tho root ought not to pay as much as the passonger who can retire with greater facility and larger convenience below. If tbo lower berth coats $2 A night tho upper berth ought to be sold for ll.fiO, Such, a measure Would encourage the use of the upper, berths by persons who .would toko them for economy’s sqko. Hero IS n thoroughly practical reform which we commend to our law makers iu session at tho present time. It Is practical because It has al ready been put Into effect In other enlightened commonwealths, and the state of Georgia should oertainly have the benefit ot a slmlllar law. THE PUMP—ITS EFFECTIVENESS AND COST. . Wo mako no pretense In this office to any - expert knowledge .of ’pumps and machinery and It is a matter of the supremest Indifference to ub whether the Holly Manufacturing Company or the Centrifugal Pump Company secures the money of the city In providing a pump for our water works. There are Just two things that concern this paper and the citizens whom It represents. We desire a pump for our water works system that will be ample to do the work which tbe necessities of the people re quire. We want first of all the fact established that this pump can do the work which it is wanted here to do. With this fact established any wise economy which can save to the city so large a sum of money as $90,000 would receive the applause and the Just npplnuse of every citizen. (This it a huge sum ot money to a city that needs so many things and needs them to badly as does At lanta, and If consistent with tho public service and tho public safety, this amount of -mangy can be saved In this direction, we tall to see any possible Justification for Ignoring the opportunity. We don’t believe, however, that anything la cheap that does not do wbnt tt Is bought to do, and we do not want any pump at however low a price that la not At for tbe city’s work. But It occurs to even the moet unscientific of cltltens as a common sense proposition that It would take only a few telegrams or, perhaps, two or three Jettert to determine whether the cheaper pump Is success fully serving so great a municipality as tbe city of Brooklyn. It Is st least significant that Brooklyn has used the cheaper pump for s number of years. It la even more slgnlfjgant that after this extended experiment thp city of Brooklyn Is now baying another and a larger pump of the same type for the public service. It Is also an Important fact that the representatives of the cheaper pump guarantee its ef ficiency, and are willing to allow the price of tt to remain In balance pending the test It looks to a citizen* in a muddy water town that the cheaper pump Is ample for our needs. If It is, we do not need to remind tbe council that Atlanta In thla particular year has uo money to throw away. SENATOR FORAKER THANKS GOD. “That distinguished citizen and Democrat. John Temple Graves, of Georgia, suggested at Chattanooga that the Demo cratic party would do well to nominate President Roosevelt as its olvn candidate-to carry out the Democratic Ideas which he had pushed so far toward, success. I thank God that no Demo crat ever nominated mo for office.” —Senator J. B. Foraker at Franklin, Ohio. Tbo Senator's attitude ot thankfulness can safely becomo chronic. So long as he lives no Democrat Is ever likely to nominate so fierce a corporate partisan for any office that guards tbo liberties and Interests ot tho people. Senator Foraker wont to the Senate a poor man. He re turns a millionaire. He be'.ODgs to tho corporations. Tbe Democrats don’t want him, and by all the signs and portents his^own people will re pudiate him at the nltumn poll. MR. BURWELL AND THE FILIBUSTER. The Georgian congratulates Representative Burwell of Hancock upon tho prompt and effective way In which he has grasped the nettle of the filibuster. The time to do a thing Is while the Interest In It Is new and'keen, and the’common understanding of Its advantage and disadvantages Is fresh In the minds of those who havo to deal with Its reformation. We are not In a position to say whether the bill of Mr. Burwell Is the best that could possibly be drawn, but we recognize It at least as a sanitary clipping of tho claws of the filibuster, and the .fact that It is commended by the thoughtful men ot the Houso and Senate would seem to furnish a sufficient argument for Us speedy passage. Mr. Burwell Is one of the now members ot the House. But he has' already left upon the mind ot hla colleagues the Impress of a resolute, upright and vital public character. Ho has courage, conviction and frankness of expression. He has the capacity to distinguish between personal relations and publlo duties, and The Georgian predicts for him an honorable and useful career In tbe service of his state.

Candler, of Atlanta, tells The Atlanta Georgian that ono million bales of cotton are consumed every year In the manufacture of tires for automobiles. This Is a surprising state ment, yet The Georgian vouches for it At any rate, the manufacture of .these tires has created a new demand for cotton, and every new demand tends toward keeping up the price.

D., July 16, 1907. My Dear Friend Wade—I have your favor of the 12th, recounting the efforts .your good people are making to banish Mhe saloons from your midst It re calls to mind the struggles In North Dakota many years ago, when you were here, In the same cause. By the way. It was twenty-six years ago yes terday that I opened my office In Far go. Those years havo been eventful ones In the history of our state. From a few settlements along the Bed river, In the 70's, our population nas con stantly Increased«o that now we have noarly 600,000 people. You remember we were admitted as a state into the Union November 2. 1889. One clause In our constitution provided that In toxicating liquor should not be manu factured or sold within our state. In December of the same year our legis lature passed a very rigid prohibition law. Speaking from personal experience. I will say that from 1885 to 1889 I was state's attorney. At that time Fargo had some 6,000 Inhabitants and over forty licensed saloons. Now we have some 17,000 people and no saloons. I may also add that practically we are free from blind pigs. For eleven years last past I have been tho presiding Judge of this dlxtrlct and will eay that during license days there were about 160 saloons, where now there are none. There can be no queetlon that our conditions are far better than under the saloon days I am satisfied that “prohibition prohlb- its," using the term as popularly un derstood. That there are violations of law no one will deny, but remember- Ing that tho true test, leaving out all moral considerations. Is that "that syi. tern of dealing with the liquor trafllo Is the best which will reduce the un lawful eale to the minimum.” certainly the results favoring the prohibition system nro much In advance -of the li cense system. Our business men in Fargo do not want the saloon ta return. They st first feared prohibition, would hurt the City. The contrary has been shown. We do not have any Vacant stores. Notwithstanding the fact that we have excellent hotel accommodations, there will be built this year a new hotel to coot $150,000. Our hotels all run with- out bars, and they make no money out of the sale of liquor. I could go on and recount Instance after Instance showing the benefits of the prohibition system. At the list legislature a bill looking toward re- submlsslon was presented to the house and defeated two to one. With kind regards and beat wishes, I am, sincerely yours, CHARLES A. POLLOCK. To the Hon. I. C. Wade; Cornelia, Ga. Judges, for business Is prosperous os a result of whisky! The devil Is busy and getting In his work and enlarging the mansions of hell, while the Creator of the universe and the angels of heaven look down In >lty and sorrow!

When on planning about the 18th to take a two weeks’ vacation, we di rected The Georgian and News to be sent to us at Monteogle. Tenn. We were building much better than we knew, for the paper brought to us about the only news of what was trans piring In Georgia's capital, and at our. boarding house, when there was first and last more than fifty pcorie from at least eight states, the Interest was keen bear the prohibition news. Of all the number there was not one man, woman or child to speak a word for the saloon side. Yet when Atlanta le the storm center toward which at least the South Is looking, with great con cern. and the a axe is themselves are looking with holy Interest to see the outcome ot the matter, the newspapers. *->-caIled, are treating this business To the Editor of The Georgian: It 1s argued by some that prohibition will retard Atlanta's growth. Does her growth come as a result of whisky being sold? Do the new-comers, peo ple of wealth and good standing In the financial, moral and religious world, come here because whisky Is sold, that their sons may contract the habit of drink and their daughters get drunken husbsnds7 It's said prohibition will cause whisky men to leave here and thereby destroy values of property. Have you ever thought of the money that goes through the barroom to en rich the sellers and fqr those able to own central property to get high rents that there are twenty, or more, to one who spend their money for whisky whosg families have no home nor any happiness? There’e not a family In Atlanta thqi does not suffer directly pr Indirectly from the sale of whialav. Why does the great Christian reli gious denominations refuse Mr. Rocke feller's money because It was "taint ed/’ while at the same time the mem bers of all religious denominations pat ronlze the public schools In Atlanta which are supported by license derived from the sale of whisky? What Is taint, ed monsy? 8m the crimes committed, the husbands and sons staggering on the streets Into their homes or hauled to the station house, caused from the sale of whisky! I can't conceive of but one thing that would "taint” money os much as whisky, and that Is for women to barter their virtue for money. What great crimes hsve been commit ted by Mr. Rockefeller In hie business of money-making that would begin to compare with the thousands of crimes caused from the sale of whisky? I don't condemn those wbo'sell whts. ky; U's legalised, and nearly all the men of Atlanta drink whisky or beer. Mpny who do not enter saloons onjpr It sent to their offices and places of business or their homes. Loog at the enormous expense of courts. Jails, Judges, jurors and attorneys and police kept busy as a result of whisky. Com pare the police records ot July 4, when everybody was happy with his fami ly and friends, while the barrooms were closed, with Saturday, July 4, when all the barrooms were run In full force. What causes the difference? Is It ot so great Importance that Atlanta be a great and prosperous city and to pro tect the wealthy, who are able to own central real estate, that one corner di vided Into two small stores should rent for 115,000 a year, that tobacco, ci gars and whisky be sold, and to get revenue from the sale of whisky a? the expense of poor unfortunate weakness of humanity? Who can claim to be a Democrat and that the majority shall rule, and then let the politicians run the government for revenue? Yea grade our (greets sand pave them and erect a fine Jail, a beautiful large stock ade, and spend a half million dollars enlarging tho court house that’s al ready coat a large sum; Increase the would be angels throughput eternity to worship the Creator for His goodness and mercy! How long will His pa tience strive with the people who are busy seeking some line of argument to continue the sale of whisky and Its work for the money’s sake? Can any man or woman who Is a member of any church be Idle for a moment and lull their consclenco and escape God's punishment, while this problem Is be fore the Georgia legislature? Can that body of men, who claim to be Democrats, and have taken the oath of office, glvo car to the pleadings of a few compared to the many and let Influence Instead of-oath guide them? Is there a God, and. If so. Is there a man or woman who believes He sees and knows our every thought and ac tion? If you believe this, look down Into your own soul os you ore now living and acting, and If you don't see and realize you are a fit subject for hell and better be there than here acting as you are, to build up a state and city by your conduct! Liberty, aacred Is Itt You claim a right to vote. You aro a Democrat, for what? You dont realise your vote Js one of many that are regarded as sacred, and you favor liberty; then liberate the many from the evils of whisky agajpat the few It benofits, men and women who are not only expected, but are forced to tako part In llfe'e work, whether they are member* of church or not. There are two great factions, one for good and the other for evil; there Is no middle ground. How have you lived before your children and the world— mado money, stand high In business, but aro you not having any trouble? "As ye sow so shall ye reap.’’ The gates of hell or* being wldoned that many of your family may enter with you, and that the contents for enter ing may be In proportion to life you ' .ve lived. If you get much proml- nee here you get your reward later. Who can, In hla sober and lonely hours, fall to realize that he Is his brother's keeper and under obligation to save him, defend hie home, though he him self does not do It? Each man’s sin- S e vote represents the past genera- 3ns on down to the present, and hi* children and future generations. There Is nothing so sacred ee the bnllot, and God's assistance should be Invoked for guidance each time tt Is used—that good Instead of evil may come from It. Man's vots Is a link In the chains of which, when completed, will encircle the two extremes of eternity and build them separately, and the gates of heav. en and hell will close forever. H. H.

That Is all right, but If the colonel was -olng on a long and Important Journey and had a choice be tween a pair of thoroughbreds and two conastogaa. he would probably take the former. He might get there In time behind the conastogao, but he would be certain to get there and quickly behind the thoroughbreds.
