THE GEORGIAN AND NEWS believes that If street railway* ran lie operated aueeeaafully by European rltlea, as they are, there la no good renaon why they can not be no oper ated here. But we do not bcllev* thla ran be done now, and It may be some years before we are ready for ao Hja an dbdertaklng. Still Atlanta should set Ita faco lu that direction NOW. Once More the Peanut. Arrogance In The Houston Post now creates no atlr tn the comment of the day. For a aoaaon It was the custom among journals with proper regard for veracity and the viewpoint of others, among them The Georgian, to scourge The Post for Its utter dis regard of everything and everybody. But realizing the absolute hope lessness of reforming the most arro gant and abandoned food and nature faker In the world, the bettor papers have withdrawn from the hopeleai task. The Charleston News and Courier, somewhat akin to The Post In spirit It not in utterance, koeps up a desultory fire - . The Buffalo Bayou party. , If we mistake not Tho Georgian and The Washington Herald have stood shoulder -to shoulder In trying to pull The Post man from hla pedes tal of mendacity. This being true, It gives us grief to see The Washing ton Herald now tnm upon The Geor gian, Its friend In tb« hour of strife, and seek to pour cold water on our efforts to put the bumble peanut where It properly belongs In the Hat of human blessings. But The Herald la hoist by Its own petard. It seeks to create an Impres sion that The Georgian predicated the statement that "live centa' worth of peanuts Is more nourishing than porterhouse steak" upon conclusions reached by thla Journal. Tho Herald evidently did not note, or willfully Ignored, tho fact that we quoted Pro fessor Jaffa, an eminent educator In tho University of California, whose Investigations and conclusions, based on long experimental work, are to be •mbodlcd In a report of the United States department of agriculture, right under the shadow of The Her ald office! The Herald seeks to permanently enjoin The Georgian upon the flim siest and most specious of technical points. It demands, with all the In solence of s Houston Post, to be In formed as to wbat constitutes live cents' worth of peanuts, and how much steak Is a "porterhouse steak." From the Washington viewpoint and expe rience both queries are perhaps per tinent. The dozen or more worm- barried, ancient, shriveled articles sold In Washington under the name of peanut would not nourish a mouse, much less a human being. In Geor gia live cents' worth of peanuts means about a quart of flue, fat, llfe-gtvlng peanuts. One who has had to defend the "star-spangled shad," made up of bones and stringy meat, and depend on a Washington "porterhouse steak" for sustenance probably has tenable ground for doubt We hardly believe The Herald will And support in Ita effort to decry the food value of the peanut Not even the abandoned Houston Post will come to lu rescue on thla proposition. It Is, therefore, ordered that the case be taken under consid eration, and a verdict returned tor foe defendant—The Georgian. A FRIENDLY WORD WITH THE LEGISLATURE. The members of the General Assembly will understand that, In tho frequent appeals which The Georgian has made In behalf of certain meas ures which appeal to Ita Judgment, there has not been at any time the slightest disposition to lecture or to dlcute to the law-makers of the state. We recognize the undisputed power and functions of the General Assembly as a body. We recognize Just aa fully that tile present Assem bly Is composed of men of more than ordinary Intelligence and In tegrity. But we do not forget that the General Assembly la sitting as a Jury upon many public questions- which 'are being argued before It. and upon which Its members must render a verdict In their votes. In this ca pacity the Jury which tries public Issues must certainly desire to know public opinion upon these Issues, and under our system of government It has always been the privilege of the people and of their representa tives In the press, the pulpit and the organized bodies, to plead tbelr wishes and to argue tbelr necesrltles before the organized citizenship which makes the laws. This Is particularly true In the case of the press, which Is the "Fourth Estate" la the autonomy of government, and which tn the ar ticulation of public opinion, as well aa In its own Individuality, may press without presumption Its honest views upon our public servants. It Is In this spirit that The Georgian without apology and without arrogance concerns Itself with tho weighty matters which the law-mak ing body has under dally deliberation. And In tbla spirit we now desire to argo upon the able and distin guished Georgians who are making our laws, the evident and urgent ne cessity of getting together and perfecting as rapidly and as harmoni ously as possible within the few remaining hours, such reform remedial legislation as It la known the people desire and demand. Whatever may be said of the Macon platform. It must be conceded that that platform waa an honest effort to crystallize Into form tho pop ular desires which controlled tho last state campaign. Whatever the Individual cohatructlona of that campaign, and the Individual differences arising over it, surely no man will deny that It made clearly evident the popular desire for the disfranchisement of the negro, tho regulation and control of the railroads In tho matter of rates and franchises, the re form If not the suppression of the powerful-lobby at the capitol, and the abolition of tho free pass evil. That these reforms are the clear and unmistakable will of tho peo ple, wo feel sure. that no well-informed and high-minded momber of the legislature will deny. If so, then is It not timely and pertinent to appeal to the Assem- lily to get together and moot the will of the people In these matters? May we not hopo that the spirit of faction, and the meaner spirit of personal politics shall be resolutely put under tho foot of patriotism In the consideration'-of these great and Important Issues? If tho convictions of a legislator lead him Into opposition to an evident and almost unanimous popular desire. It ts tor that legislator to settlo with conscience and political ethics his duty In the premises. We do not lntrudo upon tho integrity of any representative In this matter. But with the will of tho poople niado plain, wo do feel that the call Is clear and compelling In representative government that the people should have their way. We slnceroly congratulate tho Assembly upon the passago of the dls- franchlsoment bill, as tho beat avatlabto legislation to meet the popular expression. , • Wo sfneeroly trust that the Senate and the House may come to gether in a spirit of concordance with the popular will, and give us an anti-lobby bill which will contafo something tn real reform beyond the mere empty uso of tho word “anti.” Wo sincerely trust that the differences of opinion over tho anti- pass bill may be morgod lu a broad and manly consideration of the wishes and Interests of tho people, and that personal vanities and per sonal prejudices may bo held subordinate to real reform and to wise and comprehensive leglslatlpn. There-has been a civic revolution In Georgia. We submit that the legislature which succeeds It should treat Its great verdicts with rever ence and respect. Tho voice of the people, expressed In thunder tone, la entitled to be repeated tn foe statutes of the state in which (he people reign. Above nil things, don't let us play "politics” In this legislature. God forbid. There was never a finer body of representative Georgians than those which make up our present General Assembly.' May the few remaining hours of Ita noble session be made memora ble by tho broad, brave and harmonious execution of what la known to be the leople'a will. MR. ROCKEFELLER’S PESSIMISTIC HOWL. ' Mr. Rockefeller's pessimistic howl has been heard before. Those who read the public prints will recall the fact that Rockefeller has been predicting disaster for at least twelve months, and has not hesitated at any time to give hla doleful prognostics to the public. Tho force and Influence of thla last howl Is very considerably broken by the fact that the oil magnate hat a particular and personal and espe cial grievance which la calculated to make him both aore and vindictive. The flz% of twenty-nine million dollars Imposed by Judgo Landis In Chicago Is well calculated to make an old, querulous and garrulous financier both pessimistic and Ill-tempered. And those who read the prediction of the Standard Oil man will not. In view of all the circum stances, be likely to rush to a panic and to the untimely sacrifice of stocks.' Mr. Rockefeller Is undoubtedly wrong and unjust to the prealdont, and It la both significant and cheerful to read the opposite view of the administration taken so dearly and ao forcefully by that great represen tative of the business Interests tn The Now York Journal of Commerce. The Issue of that paper which reaches Atlanta on Tuesday contained an earnest and forceful defense of the president against foe Standard Oil malcontents and Is calculated to reassure the country In no small de gree. li lt la nothing less than malicious In anybody at this time to assail tbs president for radicalism which Is calculated to destroy the value of corporate property. If anything has been dear and admirable In tbo president's utter ances It has been the manly and Inspiring conaervatlsm In which be has held even ground between foe selflihness and greed of capital and the impatience and radicalism of the ultra-reform rank. Not an utter once has come from the White House that did not emphasize tho fact that the chief executive would rebuke as iternly an effort on the part of foe people to oppress or to wrong vested capital or vested property aa he would punish and condemn the graft and greed of capital that would oppress the people. We people on the outside who occupy conservative and Interested positions which preserve the balance of sanity and of prosperity In fol* country, have long since realized that we must sit steady In the boat and not be disturbed by the passionate mouthing* of either aide In this great economic controversy. The necessary reforms of this economic era are In the nature of a surgical operation. They necessarily give pain, and they almost Invariably provoke howl* and outcries. We can not afford to be alarmed at every little shriek of protest on the part of those who are being compelled to relax the hold they bare held upon the prosperity of foe country, and foe only wisdom for u* la to consider foe conditions which surround every public utterance and to measure with a proper grain of salt both those deliverance! which come from the thwarted and wounded grafters on the one band, and from foe ambl- •Joua and aspiring demagogues on foe other. t TO DEVELOP GEORGIA’S WATER POWER IN ELECTRIC. ITY. There are many bills pending before foe legislature whose passage may be hindered by foe rapid close of the session. Some of these are among foe vital reform measures of tho present time, and others which may bear the title of minor bills, are yet of more than ordinary Importance to sections of Georgia and to foe entire state. Among these latter bills is one by the Hon. Ira E. Farmer, of Mc Duffie, Intended to develop In larger and more effective fashion the vast water powers of the state. It la stated u-uon authority that Georgia has more undeveloped water power than any other Southern state. All foe other Southern states having water powers are developing them In connection with modern uses of electricity far more rapidly than Georgia. And It la In recognition of this fact that Mr. Farmer’s bill ' has provided for a little larger power In the acquirement by purchase, lease or condemnation of property, easements, right of way privileges, ripa rian rights or other Interests necessary or expedient In foe development of water powers, electric plants and other plants for supplying light, heat oy power to the public. This bill has passed the Senate by a vote largely Indicative of Its merit, and It la to be hoped for tho sake of Its industrial significance that It may successfully pass the House. THE VISIT OF THE COTTON MILL MEN. No more Important company of visitors has come to Atlanta In many years than the cotton mill men who are duo In October. Their presence offers a rare opportunity to commercial Atlanta to Impress the resources and opportunities of Ocorgla upon a body of gen tlemen who have Immense possibilities of helpfulness to our future. They are vital, practical, potential men. Nothing that Atlanta can spend to Impress these gentlemen can be leas than well spent for the future of the section and the state. We trust that the Chamber of Commerce and the City Council will make generous and appropriate provision for their entertainment. HIRAM F. BELL. Georgians cannot note foe passing of a strong, brave citizen like Hiram P. Bell without Interest and regret Ho was one of the landmarks of tho old heroic Georgia of martial memories and of heroic struggles In war and peace. He fought as a sol dier, ho served aa a statesman for the old Confederacy, after he had voiced hla fearless conviction against the act of secession. He wrote and spoke words of bravo and Inspiring cheer In the stern period of recon struction and upbuilding. Hla life and hla example made a tower of strength to weaker men In the times that tried men's souls. Elghty-one years of faithful and forceful service to Georgia entitles him to the laurel wreath of honor among hla people, and to the plaudit of history which writes “Well Done" at the finis of a noble life. Congratulations to Tho Walton Tribune upon Its excellent special Industrial edition of 48 pages.

NEW LAWS IN SEVERAL STATES ftMMIHHIMMMWMMWtMMIHMtMtWHMHWMMHWIMW— (From Collier's For August 10.) One who examines the records of the legislatures which have lately closed tbelr sessions would find a little legislation that Is hlsarre nml foolish; a little that Is con* reived In vindictiveness rather than In wisdom, but s large balance on the side of In* tiHUgent advance. Probably few states can show ns strong a record as Missouri. There the legislature submitted to the people a constitutional amendment on the sub* Ject of taxation, which, according to tax experts, embodies the most advanced ideas on the subject. The amendment will provide for local option In taxation, and also for the separation of the sources of state and local taxation. Among the reform statutes passed wero an anti-lobby Inw, requiring lobbyists to register and state their business, and providing severe penalties for Its violation; a pure food Inw In accordance with tbo national law on the subject, and making provision for state enforcement of tbs same; more stringent laws against quacks; n law taxing “futures;" a law giving the trial Jury tho option ns to whether the death penalty or life Imprisonment shall be assessed In murder cases, and an eight months' compulsory school law. Other stat utes dealt In the most modern spirit with the subjects of monopoly, nubile utilities, and insurance. The liquor problem wns treated with a statute forbidding brewers and wholesale liquor dealers to own snloous. It Is estimated that this will close about 700 saloons In tho city of 8t. Louis alone. Another law prevents the sale of Intoxicating liquors within five miles of the State University, another prevents the shipping of liquor into local option or “dry" comities, and another prevents eltner the snie or glv* lug away of Intoxicating llqnors on any general election day. A very Important bill adopted by the extra session la oue providing for the removal of any dorellct official, whether appointive or elective. Governor Folk hna had much troublo, In some coun ties, In securing the co-onerntlon of local officials In enforcing the law, nml thla bill wns pnssed to remedy tn© difficulty.

(From the Nashville American.) The English have always been noted as heavy eaters and drinker*. England la still one of the largest) consumers of liquor per capita^ and the drink problem Is a serious one In the fight little Island. But there have been great changes In the last few years, and there Is a steady tendency toward greater temperance In living. The Pall- Mall Gasette, In an article on the de cline of old-fashioned chop houses In London, says: "Thirty years ago It was no uncommon thing to see ten or fifteen men out of a company of sev enty or eighty who went to these big dinners of whom It would be said that, although they were not, perhaps, Intox icated, they had hail quite enough. What a wonderful change today! You go to similar dinners, and And men drinking no more than one glass of champagne, liberally diluted with aer ated water, and not the slightest trace of Intoxication.” The change In this country Is even more marked. The Philadelphia Record says: "There la a wonderful change tn the direction of temperate living— both In food and drink—within the memory of old-timer* In Philadelphia Thla Is especially notable tn the habits of business men, who And they can not keep the pace unless they hold them selves In vigorous form by tempering appetite so as to Insure easy digestion.

FILL WAREHOUSES » Some Date Back To Louis XIV and to .Third Re public. BY RAOUL DE SAINT RENE. ’Paris, Aug. 17.—M. Clemeneenu baa be come n balloonist. The versatile prime min liter has made an Interesting trip over Parts In the now famous war balloon Pa- trie, In company with General Plcquar, the minister of war. Starting from the 8t. Clond shed, they . Tower and having a very pleasant tour. This la quite a novelty for a minister of Clemencesu’s age and with as many preoccupations. On returning to terra firms M. Clemen ceau gave his imitresMlnua of bis trip. "It waa marvelous,“ ho said. "1 never realised before whnt a great and significant discov ery It is. It has filled me with wonder for the future of aerial navigation. What sur prised me more than anything waa the eren flowing motion of the balloon and the absence of all Jerk, ao there used to be with the earlier motors. Moreover, you feel In It as safe and se- shoulders Is noted In all other civilised countries." We are learning better how to live. In the matter of eating and drinking we are wiser In our day and generation than our ancestors were. Temperance In business and professional life has come to be a matter of necessity. The world has no use for the Intemperate man. It does not trust him. The man whose mind la befuddled by drink la not wanted In any place of trust or responsibility, whether It be managing a bank or tending a railroad switch. The intemperate man Injures hla mind and body, his character, hts value as a .'orker In any field of worthy endeavor, and lowers himself socially. He la held In pity and contempt. Men are learn ing how to live more rationally. What la called a drinking man has no place In society. TAe sentiment against In temperance Is based on common sense. It has had more Influence, more effect, than all the prohibition laws that have been enacted, and these have been beneficial. The young man who drinks places a handicap on himself, and puts himself In the danger xone. The habit may not master him, but there is al ways more or less danger that it wilt It has done ao In millions of cases. It ts not a necessity. It Is not a benefit. It Is a false pleasure. The safest way f» to avoid It altogether. |40,000 Increase Shown. Special to The Georgian Perry* Go.. Aug. 17.—The Houston county tax digest for 1907 shows an increafe of $40,000.

Ter., Aug. 17.—Tho recent action of Georgia in declaring for state prohibition, it Is believed, will nlnr an Im portant part In settling the whisky aues- lon In tl»o new state of Oklahoma, which II to be formed shortly by consolidation of Indian Territory and Oklahoma Terri* •Re people of the two territories will vote on Heutemlwr 17 on the question of state prohibition nt the same time they vote on i he ratification of tho new constitution and for stats and county officers. This will be the first time the redskins and the pale fare citizens of the territories have ever bail the privilege of voting for regular state and county officers, and, «s a result, Inter est Is nt ferer heat. Almost all of the male population. Including uumbers of the Indians, have developed Into full-fledged politicians, and those who are not are talk ing politics nt every opportunity. And a remarkable feature Is the fact that the Red Men are counted among the shrewd est of the politicians. It Is the general opinion that tho new state will have absolute prohibition. 8lnce Georgia voted dry, the prohibitionists have become considerably more encouraged and nr© confident this same wave of reform will sweep over both territories. The situation here ns regards whisky Is peculiar, and this adds Interest to the campaign. When congress voted to con solidate the two territories and give the olt- lien* the benefits of statehood, n clause wns adopted stipulating that the Indian Terri tory should remain dry for n period of twen ty-one years. The sale of whisky, as Is well known, has always been prohibited In this territory, but Is legalised In Oklahoma. Under the provisions made by congress, the whole new state will vote on the ques tion of whether the sale of whisky shall be continued In thla section of the new state— Oklahoma. Prohibition Will Win. It In conceded that the majority of voters In tho Indian reservation will vote against whisky, because It Is already outlawed In this section ot the state for twentv-on© years, and they are opposed to Oklahomn being grunted any special privileges. Tho prohibition leaders also assert that the ma jority of voters In Oklahoma favor prohi bition. The Indlnn Territory hna slightly the best of It In the matter of population, nud nt this stage of the game prohibition looks like n winner. “The prohibition sentiment Is rapidly growing over the whole country, and 1 be lieve the new stnto Is going to fall in line with Georgia," declared a prohibitionist to a representsivo of The Georgian here to- %© antis are making a strong -fight, however, and It Is estimated that thousands of dollars will be spent. Both sides have established headquarters in Guthrie, Okln. The Rev. Mr. Dinwiddle, of Washington, Is managing the prohibition campaign. It is said that the greater number of full blood lndlnns are siding with the pro hibitionists. Numbers of redskins are now residing In Oklahoma, however, having moved there. It Is said, so they can get hold of “fire water.” Indians Aro Democrats. It will tw interesting to Georgians, and Democrats generally, to know that the now state will be found In the Democratic col- man.

Ills method Is similar to that which wns adopted by two famous German physicians. Dr. Yon Plrket and Dr. Wolff-Klsner, to diagnose the IwglunlnRS of tutierculosis. These doctors, Inoculating a small portion of tubercullne Into n prepared surface of skin, found that persons suffering from tutierculosls, even in a very tmdevclop<>d state, displayed a certain characteristic cuta neous reaction, which was entirely absent In healthy subjects. An ophthalmic reaction Is also produced by means of tulnwrullne If a drop of the toxin Is placed In the eye of a tuberculous person. Professor Chnntemesse hns fol lowed the Intter system with regard to sus pected cases of typhoid fever. Having pre* K red s typhlc toxin reduced to s dry pow* r. he dissolved the fiftieth part of a milligram In a drop of water, nnd his toxin, placed under the subject’s eyelid, gave a very marked ophthalmic dlaguosls of ty phoid fever.
