WELL DONE, THE GOVERNOR.
No one thing that Governor Smith has done up to this point In bis
administration gives The Georgian greater satisfaction than tbe tender
of the special attorneyship of the railroad commission to Judge James
K. Hines.
It Is a timely and merited recognition of that great company of
Populists who having recorded In three campaigns their proteat against
tbe corporation drift of our modern Democracy, and having engrafted
many of the best and wisest of tbelr Jeffersonian principles upon the
platforms of tbe Democratic party, have come back In good faith and In
self-respect to the house of their fathers to remain.
Tbe appointment of Judge Hines Is an act not lesa of personal ap
preciation for loyal support, but aa well of that high and comprehen
sive statesmanship that builds parties above prejudice and beyond the
narrow lines of faction. We congratulate the governor upon the tender.
There were never any better and truer citizens of Georgia than
those who made up the old Populist party. They were honest and con
scientious farmere, of the bone and sinew of the state, genuinely per
suaded of the necessity of reforms which they feared could not be at
tained within tbe existing lines of the Democratic organization. They
fought their battle fairly, bravely, capably, and they won. They carried
Georgia with them and were for a season the dominant party In the
state.
They were Georgians to tbe core, and not an unworthy act mars the
record of their brief career of power, which resulted in tbe partial ac
ceptance by the Democratic organization of many of the principles for
which they contended, while every subsequent year baa given them
more abundant vindication In tho adoption of their creeds by the great
party of the people which Jefferson founded for tbe people.
No Populist need ever blush for the history and achievements of his
party so long aa our definite Democracy survives to vindicate and per
petuate Its principles.
And Judge James K. Hines was one of the ablest, tbe cleanest and
the beat beloved of the leaders of theso honest Georgians. He was their
candidate at one time for governor. He was at all times their loyal
and eloquent advocate, and the asperities of politics never discovered a
stain upon hli character or record.
When Governor Smith launched the great campaign that carried the
Incarnation of that definite Democracy for which James K. Hines and
Thomas E. Watson pleaded In large part, under the banner of Populism,
both Hines and Wqtson felt that they could without a trace of Inconsist
ency fall In line behind this real champion of the people.
And they did with power and eloquence gfve ling and currency to
the Hoke Smith campaign, fighting In the ranks like men.
It Is well that the governor should tender to James K. Hines the
legal counaelorehlp ot the great railroad commission which he haa bulld-
ed to establish tho equality of the people.
He could not find a truer Democrat In the genuine sense, to fill
this station.
He could not reward a cleaner and more virtuous citizen.
He could not honor a more Incorruptible patriot.
And he could not do a wiser thing than to tonic tho whole rank of
his own party by this Injection of the good name and the high talents
of an organization that has been from the beginning an Inspiration and
a helper to the better Democracy of this larger day.
Well done. Governor Smith.
Welcome, Counselor Hines.
THE GREAT FIGHT OF PATRICK CALHOUN.
Few men are better remembered In Georgia In the light of vivid
momorles and of vigorous Intellectuality than Pat Calhoun.
Atlanta recalls him as ope ot tbe ablest and most vital of her at
torneys In one of the most strenuous periods of her eqonomte and po
litical history.' The writer recalls that as for back as 1884, Patrick Cal
houn, then a struggling young lawyer, sat on his veranda In Edgewood
and outlined In personal conversation tbe entire scheme and scope ot
the Southern railway as It stands today, and a largo port of which was
fashioned by his own constructive brain and energies, first In tho Rich
mond and Danville, and then In the West Point Terminal Company.
He Is In point ot mentality the greatest living descendant of hla
grandfather, John C. Calhoun, and of his almost equally famous grand
father, General Duff Green, the famous editor of The National Intelligen
cer, In Washington.
The genius of Pat Calhoun ran In an equal current between the
large statesmanship ot bis paternal grandfather and the gentna for finan
cial and material development which moved his maternal grandfather
Green. The first twenty years of his active life was a struggle between
the political and material forces ot bis career. In his political era he
swept rapidly to the front and was In 1891 the nominee of the Populist
party for the United States senatorshlp from Georgln. He was defeated
by only four votes by General John B. Gordon In one of the fiercest and
closest conflicts that the state legislature has ever known.
Shortly after his defeat Pat Calhoun drifted to New York and be
came a man of large and ever-increasing wealth. He made several mil
lions out of Cleveland real estate, which ho subsequently doubled In tho
Pittsburg Traction Company, and In the laat five years has had his
chief business occupation as president of the United Railways ot San
Francisco, In whose handling he also amassed a great fortune.
It Is out of tbe struggle for this tremendous property that Patrick
Calhoun haa fallen Into the fierce controversy which has Involved him
In the courts of San Francisco. Among the hundreds of friends whom
he made and left In Atlanta, there Is no man who believes for a moment
that Calhoun has been guilty of any personal corruption In the conduct
of these vast enterprises. It has been the theory of his friends who
know him here that he was literally blackmailed by the San Francisco
boodlers In securing the franchises absolutely necessary for -his great
corporation and that he simply submitted to being held up with his
usual Imperturbable serenity.
Within recent weeks It has developed that the struggle In San
Francisco Is simply a colossal fight between Claua Sprccklea and Pat
Calhoun for the control ot the United Railways of San Francisco.
The franchises of tho properties ot this great corporation make a
mighty stake worthy ot the great brains and colossal energies of the
financial giants who are grappling over them.
Pat Calhoun so far has won and Is In possession of the properties
as their president with full direction of their destinies.
It Is over the details of their future control, according to The Graphic,
an old and strong weekly paper ot I .os Angeles, that Claus Bpreckles,
the financial giant And genius ot the Pacific slope, has grappled with tbe
Georgia financier In a death struggle for the future profits of this vast
corporation. Sprecklea has been for more than a decade almost omnipo
tent In the politics and finances of San Francisco. He has controlled Its
ward politicians, dictated Its financial policies and haa been pandered to
by all the potential forces of the great city of the Golden West It Is
the great hand of Spreckles that has brought about ihe prosecution In
whoso meshes Pat Calhoun has been Involved. It Is the great hand of
Spreckles that la behind the charges of graft and corruption which In
volve the Georgia financier. It Is the great hand of 8precklos that di
rects the prosecution of lleney, and the prosecution, which has now de
veloped Into persecution, against the strong man who holds the United
Railways.
A weaker man than Pat ’Calhoun would long since have collapsed
and surrendered under the assaults that have been made against him,
but those vlio know the stern stuff and the Iron caliber ot the Georgian
will not be surprised to learn that with hlk usual dauntless courage and
his great brain and dauntless energies he has fought his light almost
alone, and Is Just now about to emerge scathless and triumphant from
the most terrific ordeal to which a man has been subjected In the finan
cial history ot tbe West.
The Graphic, In Its issue of July 20th, comes out whole-heartedly
and eloquently In tbe espousal of Pat Calhoun's cause. It denominates
his battle h "fight for industrial freedom and the liberty of the Individ
ual against tbe form of-government by the Big 8tlck.” It ex'poaes the
hand ot Spreckles. It makes plain tbe conspiracy which the sugar king
and his friends have made against Calhoun, and demonstrates not only
the courage but the blimelessness of the Georgian In the entire tragedy
ot finance which has been enacted In 8an Francisco.
If The Graphic Is to be believed In proportion to Its high repute, the
germination of Calhoun’s trial Is near at hand and the triumphant vindi
cation of the Georgia financier will be followed by bis remarkable vic
tory over tbe greatest financial forces In the West, and hla establish-
I
/■ -IV
ment In tbe control of newer and larger millions than be has ever op
erated before.
There are hundreds of friends In Atlanta who will be pleased to
hear these things. .
NEWSPAPERS THAT TELL THE TRUTH.
The esteemed Atlanta Oeorglqn seta forth with peculiar fe
licity a truth well worth recording:
"But the Democracy these day* la getting Its real facta and
the whole truth not from partisan newspapers, but from great In
dependent journals like The New York World and The Washing
ton Post and The Georgian. These are sitting upon the watch
•tower and describing things as they are.”
It la only great and independent Journals nowadays that can
deliver real facts and whole truths. The Georgian haa aptly dis
criminated between real facta and mere facts, and between
Whole truths and fractional truths.' The partisan newspaper,
happily becoming extinct. Is extremely lucky if it can distinguish
and utter either a mere fact or a fractional truth. It Is utterly
unable to give its own party real facta or whole trntbs, or both.
The impartial and scrupulous student of politics will find In this -
fact—this real fact—the secret of Democracy's weakness. There
is no one to tell It the truth—the whole truth—except a few In
dependent journals. Its own journals are unable, and Its - oppo
nents are unwilling, to set It right.
As the party decays, partisan Journals decay. With the in
crease of Independence and honest speech, virility returns. The
party learns Its weaknesses and repairs them, and strikes out
with fresh hope. If all the Journals claiming to be Democratic
would throw off the yoke of partisanship and tell the truth about
the Democratic and Republican parties, without bias, the coun
try would be vastly benefited^—and the country's benefit la the
aim of all parties. >
Aa for The Post, It is glad to alt on the independent Watch
tower In company with tbe urbane Georgian and describe things
as they are.—Washington Post
Whatever may have been the mission of tbe purely partisan news
paper In times past Its usefulness Is spent and Its force Is discredited In
tbe freer and braver atmosphere ot thla larger day.
The cheap newspaper and the rural mall delivery have created the
freest and most practical Democracy in the.world. In this day of wide
distribution of news, every man does his thinking for himself, and agrees
only with those opinions that are in themselves free, honest and full of
common sense. There la not a countryman from Tybee to Toccoa who
does not instantly recognize the partisan newspaper, and who does not
read Its opinions with the necessary grain ot salt When the paper tells
tbe truth the reader knows It and applauds. But when the partisan organ
colors facts to political purposes, and twists news to the ends of partisan
-advantage, no man knows It more quickly and rejects it more emphati
cally than the country reader.
The emptiness of parties, their factional divisions, their platitudes
too often meaningless and hollow, the tyranny of caucuses, the selfish
ness of leaders, and the pusillanimity of politicians' are just as evident to
the quiet reader In the country as to the most active rounder ot the
town.
The man who pays for a newspaper in this day when there are so
many newspapers wants one that will tell the truth, and give the facts
and let him make up his opinions for himself.
But never before have honest opinions and fearless expressions of
conviction in a newspaper had greater currency and larger force than
they have today. »
Let an editor establish in the minds of his reader a conviction of
his honesty, and not even Duff Green or Horace Greeley, or George D.
Prentice or Watson Webb, will have a larger and more loyal clientele
than he. /
The independent newspaper is the power of the present day.

We maintain rigid rules in tbe conduct of our business; that is

To stand by a set of rules enables us to treat every patron of the

A fair and impartial treatment to all la well worth your careful

CHAPTER XXXVI.
Raymond’s Return.
Ruth was silent for a moment, her
strange eyes fixed Intently on the
words as If she were reading a hld-
Iden meaning from them, Invlslblo to
'Sylvia's perception.
“He will come unexpectedly. Miss
Sylvia," Ruth said then. "He will take
r ou by surprise one of these days. If
am not greatly mistaken."
One afternoon In the third week of
October, Carl Muoller and Sylvia were
crossing the fields toward the beach
Juat below the park wall of The Hollow.
Sylvia had, as usual, been talking of
Raymond.
"Everything you tell me of your
brother makes me more anxious to
meet him, dearest," Mueller said, after
a little pause. His eyes were lowered
to the fading grass os he spoke. “1 am
not surprised that you praise him so
much. Jle must have a very lovable
character.
"There Is no one In the world like
Raymond—no one!” Sylvia cried, en
thusiastically.
The prospect of seeing this loved
brother so very soon had so filled
Sylvia's thoughts and dreams during
the previous weeks that she had
scarcely allowed herself to turn her at
tention to any other matter—even the
matter of her engagement, and as the
time drepr nearer and nearer to the
probable date of Raymond’s return, an
uncontrollable excitement thrilled In'
Sylvia's veins, and she could hardly
talk or think of anything but tbs Idol
ised brother.
Yet there, were time* when certain
misgivings harassed her. Had she
really acted In a deceitful, even treach
erous manner toward Baall Thurston?
Had she rushed Into this engagement
without due consideration, and was she
wilfully closing her eyes to the facts
of her position and drifting on blindly
with the current, heedless of whither
it should carry her?
"Let us go to the edge ot the cllffa
down there,” Mueller said, "Our favor
ite nook looks especially'Inviting this
moment.”
The afternoon was a typical October

broken.” Mueller said, looking down
over the cliff and releasing Sylvia's
arm at once. "I will go down for It
this moment. There Is n narrow foot
way to tbe beach Just beyond our nook
there."
"Well, it Is all your fault, Carl, so
I don't pity you. Be careful of that'
path though; It Is very narrow and
very steep.”
A moment later Mueller had begun
hla descent of the cliff and was soon
lost to sight behind a projecting bluff
Sylvia sttll watched the beach; but
after a moment or two she turned her
eyes—as If Impelled by some fores
which could not be resisted—upon the
red sands which she and Mueller had
crossed a few minutes before; and as
she did so she started and her heart
began to tbrob.
A man’s figure was visible In the sol-
Itary waste of- sand and rocks aa It
came on quickly In the direction of the
cliffs—a figure that was certainly not
Basil’s, not the Judge's.
A cry of Joyful excitement escaped
Sylvia’s lips. She rose to her feet and
ran a few steps forward; then she
snatched her handkerchief from her
pocket and waved It wildly over her
head toward the approaching figure, as
she almost flew over the beach to meet
him.
"Raymond! Raymond!" she gasped,
for her heart beats seethed to choke
her as she ran. It was Raymond, In
deed. He, too, was running, and In a
very short time brother and sister had
met, and Sylvia had burst Into Joyous
tears of welcome.
A Surprise.
"I did not tell you. I was coming so
soon, Sylvia, I wanted to give you a
surprise,” Raymond Thurston said,
after their breathless greetings were
over. "I arrived about half an hour
ago at the old home and then started
to meet you."
"Of course you did, you darling. As
If you would calmly await my return,’’
Sylvia cried, brushing the tears from
her eyes In an ecstacy qf Incredulous
delight. "I cannot believe It Is you
yet. I did not, of course, expect you
until November. Ruth was a true
prophetess, I see. She knew, from
something you said In one of your re
cent letters, that you would come un
expectedly in the end.”
“Did ahe, indeed? Poor Ruth! I
haven't seen her yet.”
"Let me look at you, Raymond," Syl
via said, as she held him away from
her at arm’s length. "You’ve' never
looked so well before—never so glori
ously handsome.”
He certainly was gloriously hand
some In hla own particular way, with
his exquisitely cut features, his large,
clear, thoughtful blue eyes, hla per
fectly shaped, artistic head, with Its
wonderful sunny hair. In the wavy
masses of which threads of living gold
seemed to run In and out.
’And where lav Carl Mueller?" Ray
mond said presently. "Mother told me
he was with you, Sylvia, and I ex
pected to meet you both together.”
Sylvia laughingly explained what had
occurred.
"But he cannot be much longer now,"
she said. “How surprised he will be
se you, Raymond! This very after
noon he spoke of you, and said he
looked forward so much to meeting
you. Come over to the bluff; perhaps
we shall see -him coming up."
Continued in Tomorrow’s Georgian.
Tne afternoon was a typical October
one—still, dreamy, restful, with a flood
of amber sunshine falling upon sand
and crag, rock and lake, and that
sense of expectancy In the air, as
though nature still reposing In a kind
of fool’s paradise, was vaguely appre
hensive at tho same time of the stern
approach of Winter, with Its heralds
of decay and tempest.
The lake was a plain of sapphire
blue, with a horizon of pearl and opal
forming the most delicate backgrounds
to its radiant hues. There was no
sound In the trance-bound hush, save
a dreamy cry of a bird now and then
and the subdued monotone from -the
beach far below.
As they approached the cliffs, Sylvia
ran forward with a little exclamation of
pleasure and stood Just at the summit
of the Tower Cliff.
"How glorious the lake looks at this
moment, Carl! I wonder could any hu
man artist ever really catch that par
ticular color?"
"Except—perhaps, Raymond, Syl
via?” Mueller answered, with a little
smile. "Do come away from there,
dearest," he said a moment later; "It Is
a dangerous spot. Let us get into our
nook and listen to the lake below.”
He caught her hand and endeavored
to pull her away from the giddy verge
of the cliff, but Sylvia, Impelled by
some whim, resisted laughingly, and
Mueller found It necessary to bring a
little force to bear upon her ob
stinacy.
"We shall see which of us shall con
quer, madam,” he said, with mock
sternness of tone and manner. “Yield
at once, now, for If not"—
"Ob, Carl, my bracelet! You've
forced It open - — It Is gone!”
Sylvia's Interruption came suddenly
from her lips. In tbs playful struggle
on the cliff top Mueller had Indeed
managed to open the clasp of a pearl
bracelet—one of hie own presents to
his fiancee—and before Sylvia could re.
cover the trinket It had slipped away
from her wrist and fallen over the
bluff, and from ledge to ledge, to the
shining beach below.

BIFFS NEWSPAPER
Raleigh. N. C„ Aug. 22.—Rev. Len O.
Broughton, the famous Atlanta preach
er, who recently conducted a meeting
In Brooklyn, N. Y„ has been In Raleigh,
where ho was born, attending the bed
side and funeral of hla father.
Ho preached In tho Baptist taber
nacle here and attacked the morning
newspaper for maintaining a trust
In The Associated Press news while Its
columns teem with denunciations of
trusts, etc.
Today Dr. Broughton dictated and
Issued a statement In which he says:
Church Separate,
"I did not mean to justify the
methods of the Standard Oil Company
nor the crimes for which the 'unwritten
law’ Is brought Into action. What I
meant was simply what I said:
“ 'The church cannot become a party
to the hue and cry that Is so popular
today, 'down with everything that’s got
mpney at Its back!' 1 am tn no sense
a socialist. I hate socialism as I hate
the devil. I believe that socialism as
now advocated Is the sin of commun
ism, which Is the child of the devil.”
In speaking of the Standard Oil Com
pany, Dr. Broughton said:
"We find It very easy to denounce
gambling In Wall street and great cor
porations, but have nothing to say
when we find It among the card-play-
Ing women of our churches, who
play tor prises. We make a great ado
over the gambling methods of great
corporations like the Standard oil
Company, for example, who have Just
been fined 329,000,000, while the same
principle of taking advantage of com
petitor* Is practiced by even the peanut
venders of our city.
"Inconsistency."
'Our good newspaper friends might
take a bit of thla medicine which they
are giving out on trusts and combines
and perhaps that would be a bit or
Interesting matter for the public. Here
Is a paper in the city that's In the
Associated Press combine. Another
paper starts up In this same city and
wanu a share In the news service.
But no, the only treaty that can be
made is that the new enterprise go out
of business. There Is no bigger tntst
than this. What Is this, after all but
forcing a competitor to surrender to a
trust? What I am making a plea for
is consistency In our fight against cos*
porutlona and trusts.”
