A Voice of the Real Atlanta,
Spoken like a man, Porreat Adatr.
And like a trua and loyal cltlien
of Atlanta.
Thcr6 Is no man In Atlanta who
more nearly and rltally represents
that phase of our business life which
has felt and expressed the largest ap
prehension of disaster from the prohl
bition net Itcsl estate has been the
most timid, the most sensitive and
the most doleful of all the elements
of Atlanta’s activity which havo boon
opposed to prohibition.
And here speaks one who stands
right In the very forefront of those
who work and write and apeak for
tho real ostate interest* of Atlanta.
The spirit of Forrest Adatr should
kr Hi,- spirit of the Atlanta of today,
Wo are Indeed the best and bravest
city In tho world. Thero has never
been n break In the long lino of our
splendid growth and prosperity, and
be suro wo do not front a period of
retrogression now.
Tho only thing that can hurt At
lanta Is the spirit of tho croaker, and
the spirit of retaliation upon those
who entertain different opinions to
our own. That spirit would blight
tho best town In nil the world. It
would ovon blight Atlanta.
Dut tho opposite spirit—the spirit
of loyal acceptance, the spirit of un
conquerable courage, tho spirit of co
operative energy, the spirit of Forrest
Adair—would build and brighten and
bless any town In nil the world.
This Is tho platform which The
Georgian has preached from the first
day that this prohibition crusade was
launched upon the state. We did not
watt for the end which Was Inevitable
from the beginning, but in every
phaso of the fight wo have preached
cheerfulness, concurrence with the
will of the majority, and nccoptance
of the situation with . tranquil tem
per, and an undismayed resolve.
Forrest Adair representi tho young
er. the. vital, the unconquerable At
lanta of yesterday and today. The
Atlanta of the past, the Atlanta of the
present, and the Atlanta yet to come.
Let us all with one accord and
without a break, catch the spirit of
this young and strong Atlantan puls
ing the sentiment which The Geor
gian has persistently voiced; let us
fall Into line; let us accept the will
of the majority which rules In every
Democracy and without a murmur,
without a prediction of disaster, with-
out permitting ourselves to contem
plate the possibility of decay, let us
with locked arms and cheerful heart*
and a resolute will, go forward to the
building of that greater and nobler
city which Is to be planted upon the
indestructible foundations of morality
and righteousness cemented upon
commerco and trade.
There la no possible shadow upon
the future of a city whose cltlsens
carry In their hearts the spirit which
pulses In The Georgian and In Forrest
Adair.
"Traitors may see Atlanta going
down.
In quick-sands that their coward
Mm have sown—
Sho swims in hearts like these."
May we call the attention of the al
leged newspaper published Just across
the street to the fact that one of the
most superb and significant. demon
strations of the last two decades took
place right under hs own windows
last night, and. that It received not a
line of record from a Journal whose
coiumqs are by profession dedicated
to the Impartial giving of the news.
NVhen The Georgian shrinks to such
narrow proportions, It will be time for
J*a subscriber* to ask it to go out of
business.
M
MORE CREDIT THAN WE CLAIM OR DESERVE.
Dear Mr. Graves: The magnificent victory and triumph of the
state prohibition cause Is almost wholly attributable to your
and Mr. Seely'a manly efforts, and tho wonderful Influence
wrought through The Georgian and News.
From time out of mind, many good peor-e have fought and
labored assiduously to drive tho tho sale of whisky from within
the boundaries of Georgia. Their auccess w/ts meager, and
would have met with ultimate failure had It not been for your
coming to their rescue nnd giving them your personal aid, com
bined with that of your grand and noble paper—The Atlanta
Georgian and News.
"May you Jive long and prosper."
Yours very truly,
Klngwood, Oa. C. B. M’KAE.
Our friend, Mr. McRae, gives to Tho Georgian more credit than It
either claims or deserves.
The-part that The Georgian ha» playfed In the prohibition battle
which baa Just been fought and won, la understood by no one better than
by itself.
The Publisher and Editor of this paper do not for a moment over
estimate what thoy have done for the prohibition cause In Georgia.
Nor. In simple honesty, do they underestimate It.
Tho Georgian has simply given to the prohibitionists of Georgia an
opportunity to know themselves, to know each other, to know their
strength and to express that strength In an articulate and forceful way.
There have been brave and brilliant orators Joined In the prohibition
cause of Georgia. Sam Jones of sainted memory, Dupont Guerry of re-
morseless logic, Hon. Seaborn Wright, the young man eloquent of Floyd,
Covington of Colquitt, Hardman of Jackson, Neel of Bartow, Nunnally of
Troup, White of Fulton, Roddenberry of Thomas, Upshaw of Fulton,
Willingham of Monroe, Solomon. Richards, Dickens, Hlllyer, Ward and
a mighty host of brave and eloquent gentlemen havo declared In sea
son and out of season for this great moral cause.
Tho noble women of the W. C. T. U„ valiant, dauntless, tireless and
unconquerable, have spent thofr lives and their prayers upon _ It. Tho
Anti-Saloon League, younger but vital and full of relentless vigor, has
dono Its mighty work. The business men of Atlanta and Georgia, rlBlng
above greed and every sentiment, save the noble one, have dono their
part.
But all of these have been handicapped by the lack of some great
newapaper to give voice to their pleas, publicity to their organization,
dally Inspiration to their cause, and a dissemination of their doctrlnos
to an Immense multitude of people In and out of the state.
Never before have the prohibitionists of Georgia had the value of a
great dally newspaper, and the overwhelming nature of the victory is
due along with the superb and dauntless loyalty of Us advocates to the
understanding, tho coherency of organization, that could only be
thoroughly possible with a great dally organ of expression.
This The Georgian has honestly and earnestly endeavored to supply.
It has given Its columns without stint or limit to this causo and has lent
Its news pages and Its editorial page with unflagging vigor to announce
ment, to Information, and to earnest advocacy.
We have limply brought tho prohibitionists together. V/e have mere
ly made known to the world tho strength of those who are fighting.
We have Inspired them with a sense of their own-omnipotence of num
bers, and wo have been able to persuado them how possible It was to
win and how Impossible It was to lose the moral battle which they bad
Joined.
We doubt If The Georgian has converted 200 people to the cause of
prohibition. They were already here In a vast and swelling majority
and have been here for many years, but thoy were comparatively inco
herent, Inarticulate, and without expression.
The Georgian deserves no credit for what It has done. It could not
hnvo done loan and remained an honest newspaper. And It could not
havo done other than It has without doing vlolenco to the convictions
and Inclinations of those who make It
We have been rewarded far and beyond our highest expectations
and our largest merits In the grateful appreciation of the good people
who are the foundation of this cause. Wo have been rewarded above
all things by the consciousness of rectitude, and we need no praise and
deserve no credit that Is not given In full and larger measure to the
noble forcos for which wo have spoken. .
This Is a battle of the horoes who havo fought and suffered and
hoped for mnny years. It Is a battle of good women and of honest men.
It Is a battle of little children and of aged mothers. It is a battle of
strong and clear-eyed patriots and of wlso and prudent- cltizons.
There Is In the victory glory enough for us all, and gladness onough
for us all and the largoness of rejoicing which should fill us with the
spirit of peace.
We congratulate the city, the state, and the people that this vexed
and stormy Issue 1* now at rest for 1 'a decado or two decades In the his
tory of Georgia.
Tho Georgian Is now the .mouthpiece and representative of three-
fourths of tho white people of Georgia! ts there any man who doubts
now Us rank among the newapapors of tho South?
THE GEORGIAN’S IDEA OF REAL DEMOCRACY.
The Washington Herald professes itself unable to see how, after
having suggested In April that the Democratic party would find It ad
visable to commission President Roosevelt to carry on the work that
he was doing with such splondld courage sad ability, The Georgian
should now dlscusa with favor the candidacy of a Southern man for
president, and also speak of Mr. Bryan t In approving strain.
There are none so blind as those who Will not see.
Does The Herald think, becauso The Georgian In the earlier phases
of a conference made a suggestion which It deemed salted to the
heroic exigency of the party’s life, that It Is estopped thereby from
taking any further Interest In the deliberations of the Democratic
party, and must withhold Its seal and Its earnestness from any
further endeavor to bring about the wisest policy and the best results?
Does Tho Herald think because the suggestion we made In April
baa not yet bad a chance to be accepted or denied, or If The Herald be
lieves that the Indications do not seem to promise Its acceptance, that
we should therefore sulk and sink to silence without any further Inter
est in the policy of the party or the proceedings of the government?
At the time the suggestion was made \n Chattanooga It seemed to
be the wisest and the bravest thing for the party to do. There were
thousands of good men and good Democrats who agreed with that posi
tion then and who agree with us now In thinking that no man baa yet
developed upon the political horlson who haa such a combination of ca
pacity and position to fight the battle of predatory wealth as the presi
dent himself.
But we are In good faith and in good temper members of this po
litical party. We are devoted not 10 much to It* name or to Its leaders
aa we are to the triumph of the principles upon which we think It has
carried the beat Interests of tb* people and of the government.
And we are not built of the stuff to sulk, or to kick out of the
harness If our own Ideas are not carried out. We have rather been
trained and disciplined by experience nnd by development to hold our
seats In the conference, and. It we can not get the thing that we would
rather have, to take the next best thing to It
tf we cannot Induce our party to do the thing that we think best to
do, then wo have itlll left the right and the duty as a member In good
standing to urge the party to do the next best thing, and It the party
considers some other policy good and we do not, then unless the party
filet Id the face of honor and principle, we are ready now, as we have
always been, to subordinate our Individual opinion* to the will of the
majority, and to fight In the ranks so long aa the ranks are formed upon
principles of loyalty and honor.
It Is for this reason that, while the Chattanooga suggestion hangs
without apology In the balance of public opinion and of coming events,
we are yet esercialng a citizen’s right to present such other views and
suggestions aa our deep and abiding Interest may warrant. We bare be
lieved with all our minds that the beat chance of the Democratic party,
as a party, for suceeaa was to nominate some strong, vital,' definite Dem
ocrat of the new and progressive South, and by bit candidacy to appeal
to the splendid era of good feeling which prevails throughout the North
and the West, and which we firmly believe would strengthen rather than
debilitate a ticket which would surely Inspire and enthuse the South.
We confess that while tbla Idea abides unbroken in our minds, the
rumored alliance between William R. Hearat and William J. Bryan seems
to offer logically and clearly in Its nature and conditions an unusual
L <i
and unexpected prospect and promise of party success. And we do not
hesitate to say that this totally unexpected development seems to bal
ance the eligibility of a strictly Southern candidate.
Of course, tho Hearst-Bryan rumor lacks confirmation. It Is an ap
parently well founded report, but It Is not yet confirmed by either of
the great Democrats concerned.
What The Georgian wishes with all Its heart, above the eucceet of
Individuate or the triumph of eectlone, ie the triumph and establishment
of the great principles of a definite Democracy which having always
been desirable, are at this particular period in our history absolutely
vital and neceesary to the welfare and the liberties of the plain people.
If these Id the vigor and Imminence of their presence can best be
accomplished by a sacrifice of names and a temporary ecllpso of leaders,
we are so loyal to the people that we would bo willing to accomplish
the triumph of the principles at such a cost.
As the matter stands now, we believe without hesitation that the
Southern candidate Is the wisest and most hopeful promise for the
Democratic party and its definite principles to triumph In the govern
ment. But If it should bo true that the great Democratic editor, and the
established Idol of a definite Democracy have locked arms for one great
common struggle for the success of these principles, we stand at least
with a divided mind as to the wisdom of making the sectional appeal for
fraternity and good will, or for the splendid promise lnv6lved by the
union of the multitudes who follow the two great leaders of Democracy,
and who having been before this divided, may now be counted as a unit
for the common cause.
We stand now where we have stood from the beginning—for the tri
umph of the principles, for the triumph of the people against predatory
wealth, for the establishment of popular rights against corporations and
syndicates—and by whatever method this great end can be accom
plished, we are ready to advocate It, without fear of the politician,
without following the partisan, and without concern tor anything higher
and greater than the people themselves.
This, In the old-fashioned mind of Tho Georgian la the only real
Democracy that .we know.

"GEORGIA'S GOING DRY*
(For The Georgian and News.)
Set the bell* a-Jlng-a-ling—
Laugh until you cry—
The prohl bill has passed at last;
Georgia's going dry.
—P. D. BURIE, with apologies to F.
L. S.
Atlanta, Go., July 31, 1307.
NOW ENFORCE THE LAW.
With hundreds of others In Geor
gia, I desire to commend the splen
did stand you have taken for state pro.
hlbltlon. My name has already been
placed oh the subscription list of The
Georgian. It Is Indeed refreshing to
ste a great dally espousing the cause
of prohibition. The Georgian should
bo In every home In the state.
While there Is nothing In the so-
called arguments of the whisky men
and their friends, at the same time the
friends of the prohibition cause should
do all In their power to maks the law
effective when It Is put In operation.
It Is a very deplorable fact that the
government of our great nation en
dry counties, it Is to be hoped
that the Lit
cense _ .
ttlefleld bill will be passed
by congress, thus protecting us from
the effects of the present Interstate
comment law. In the meantime, let
the present legislature pass a law- to
moke the possession of a revenue li
cense to ’eell liquor, etc., prims facie
evidence of guilt In violation of the
prohibition statute. This, In addition
to the bills already introduced, will
largely prevent ue -from blind tigers.
