BRYAN IN APRIL AND BRYAN IN OCTOBER.
We stand hero tonight with that great apd stainless gentle
man who haa carried the heart and hope of our Democracy, for
the decade In which we live. We have yet thla white plume of
Navarre to rally our scattered legions and to lead the faithful
fbllowers of Democracy with equal temper In victory or defeat.
Whatever else these years of gloom have borne ub, however suc
cessive tbe tides of disaster, which have followed our cam
paigns, whatever the fortunes of the legislative forum or of the
four-year battles upon which wo have Btaked our hopes, It la yet
our glory that out of our faith and order haa forged to the fore
of history and to the front of International repute the one great
commoner of our later times. We aro yet rich In the beautiful
history, In the consistent Democracy and In the unstinted Integ
rity of the eloquent and well beloved chief of all our clan. Tho
heart of Democracy will be his until the end of tho chapter.
Among those who have led us In the past, and among those
who are to lead ua In the future, there deserves to live and
there will be left to live no name more honored, no character •
more revered, no leadership more trusted, and no personality
more beloved, than William J. Bryan, of Nebraska.
- ' Twice he haa fought his good fight, always he has kept the
faith, but that he has finished his course no man who reads
history or trusts the people can for a moment think. If the
• Democracy had In Ita power to choose, the vast and swelling
majority of Its ranks woftld bear William J. Bryan upon Its
shoulders to the presidency of the United States.
For my own part, I believe, and I am sure you too believe,
that we shall yet see his Illustrious and useful years crowned with
the Illustrious station whose duties he will adorn, and whose
powers and responsibilities he will nobly meet.
The question to us In these serious and honest hours ts
whether this Is the time to commit once more to the fortunes
of the battle tbe platform of onr principles, and to force once
more to the front the man whom our Democratic mass dellgbt-
eth to honor.—Chattanooga Speedy of Mr. Graves, April 10, 1007.
These were the words which opened tbe Chattanooga speech on the
evening of April the 10th, when tbe editor of Tbe Georgian made the
suggestion which has been the subject of constant discussion and of no
little criticism since that time. We were aa honest then aa we are today
In the expression of our admiration for the great Nebraskan, who Is
Atlanta's welcome and honored guest We have never varied through
the years of his public service In our estimate of the character and
motives of the man.
The conditions which moved the suggestion made at Chattanooga
were born of a period In which tbe battle with predatory wealth waa
so urgent and In such a fierce and bested crisis that It seemed more than
ever the paramount question of the times. There were conditions ex
istent then, which still exist but are somewhat, modified today, which
made It appear that only one man In tbe republic seemed to hare a
chance to wage and to win this vast battle of predatory wealth against
the people. It Is Just as true today that of all men who live And labor
In this republic, there Is no man so - altogether well equipped In force.
In executive capacity, In wonderful courage, In broad patriotism and,
above all things, In position of advantage, In knowledge of the machinery
and In tbe experience of fighting the throned selfishness of corporate
wealth In this generation. There need be no apology, and there will be
none for what was said at Chattanooga, nor la there any explana
tion due.
It was an honest counsel, honestly tendered to a leader of a great
party, not behind bis back, but In the presence of the man who had the
largest Interests and would hare had the largest Influence upon the plan.
Never was Mr. Bryan larger and greater than in his acknowledgment of
a suggestion which a smaller man might have resented In jealousy or
have rebuked In hasty temper. He was great enough to recognlzo the
honesty of the suggestion and large enough, then and there, to evldonce
In his bearing and In his utterance that there was food for mighty
thought In It, and be did not hesitate to say before the assembled Demo
crats who had met to do him honor that "If he felt as his friend from
Georgia felt, he would nominate Roosevelt if It was the last act of
his life."
Mr. Bryan Is as great today In Atlanta as he was In Chattanooga.
"Aa at present advised," he declined to accept the suggestion and we are
fully persuaded that as still advised, he will decline to accept the sug
gestion now.
This la bis right and he would be less than honest and leas than true
if he did not follow hit convictions Just as we did. It may be said In the
same honesty In which we spoke at Chattanooga, that conditions hare
very greatly changed since that utterance was made. There has been a
mighty force of public opinion awakened In tho South and throughout the
country Id this great battle of wealth against the people. In this awak
ening, the Chattanooga utterance haa done Its part, and no man can rob
the speaker of the consciousness of Us effect In bringing to the realisa
tion of Democracy the necessities and opportunities of this critical hour
in our party's destiny.
But tho Immense enlistment of public opinion behind the people's
cause In this great battle of the times haa made possible now, If not
probable, what did not teem to be either probable or possible then. Tbo
awakening of public opinion throughout,tbe country may make possible
now for any man of lofty character and conspicuous ability. Democrat or
Republican, who definitely leads this fight, to win It. It Is much more
possible now for a Democrat to win this battle than It seemed to be In
April last.
More than that, the co-operative power of public opinion may make
It easier for any man who fights thla battle of the people now to win It
In the auffragea of the people and In the executive chair at Washington.
The one thing In the career of the great Nebraskan which la unproven
and Indefinite la hla executive eapaclty. That he la honest, that he Is
pure, that he Is consistent, that ha Is brave and that he la surpassingly
eloquent, needs no repetition here. Whether his great talents Include the
executive function, the handling of Congresses, the manipulation of men,
the expert control of political machtnory, which Is necessary to force Into
statutes the people's will in this great matter, we can not'know. And no
man knows, because Mr, Bryan haa never yet been in a position to dis
cover or to exploit this quality of hla great equipment. But even the ne
cessity for executive force Is less pronounced now than It was In April,
and with tbe power of public opinion as hts ally. It might be possible for
a man of lesser force and executive ability tban tbe president to fight and
win this battle of the people.
It Is fair to aay tbla much not in change or In repudiation of anything
we may have said before, but becauae It la true and being true. It la just
and fair to say it. It la by no meant certain that Mr. Bryan could win the
Democracy from Roosevelt If he were nominated. It It by no means
certain that Bryan, In the executive ebalr, could illustrate the force, the
management, the persistent skill which has given such wonderful suc
cess to the efforts of tho president, but It It at least a fact that the con
ditions which Inspired the auggestlon of another term for the president
have had thla much of change and alteration.
We say now, as we said then, thaj If this grsat battle can be fought
and won by the leader of Democracy, we should tnueh prefer to have the
party credit for the great achievement. But we say now, as wo said then,
that It this great battle can not be fought and won so successfully by a
representative of our own party, we are. aa we have always been, first of
all for the cause and for the people rather than for the party or the man.
After all, tbla la the gist of all tha discussion which revolves around
our Great Commoner of Democracy. He has the heart of the party and
the heart o( the people, its Judgment Is largely bla. But there are many,
tytbody knows how many, who ask themselves whether he can win upon
a third trial or how well equipped be would be to fight If he should win.
He is the fairest and ths frankest man In all our politics. This Is the
question to which we would like to have him address himself for just one
hour In the presence of the people.
But above all things he Is right welcome now to the hearts and to the
homes of Georgia and Atlanta.
A GREAT PRESBYTERIAN PREACHER.
The Presbyterians are to be commended and the community to be
congratulated upon the fact that that great denomination Is bringing one
of the greatest of its representatives for a general conference In Atlanta.
Following the Bible conference now grown famous which Is held
every year In the Broughton Tabernacle In Atlanta, the Preebjrterian
church Is adopting the same plan for an Increase of Interest and a revi
val of vitality and Inspiration In Its religious work throughout ths city and
the South.
And certainly few greater orators or greater men are to be found In
this or any other denomination than Dr. Howard Agnew Johnston.
From October tOth to the Ztth, he will hold a general Christian
workers' conference at the North Avenue Presbyterian church and' It is
no merely perfunctory statement to say that these services will be as
<
vital, as eloquent and aa profitable as any ever held In Atlanta. What
Campbell Morgan Is to hla church, Howard Agnew Johnson Is to the
Presbyterian church and the coming of thlk great man with hla vital en
ergies, with his Immense scholarship, with bis powerful and magnetlo elo
quence marks a distinct and forward. movement In tbe greit Christian
body which be represents, and offers an unusual opportunity to the peo
ple of Atlanta.
All over the Presbyterian world this great man is known and recog
nized as a mighty power In counsel and In speech. Saint and sinner
alike may sit with profit and delight under his services and tbey will be
few Indeed who do not feel that they have enjoyed a season of vast In
tellectual and spiritual refreshment who utilize this opportunity to hear
him.

8IT 8TEADY IN THE BOAT,
To the Editor of Ths Georgian:
I beg to thank you for your timely
editorial In The Georgian of this date,
October 17: “An Appeal to the Lead
ers of Reform." Every sentence rings
clear, every utterance Is true and ev
erything In tha appeal Is Important.
There Is every possible reason for
the observance of ths utmost fidelity
on the part, not only of "leaders,” but
of all, even down to ofiscure single men
like thla writer. There la every
reason that all ths friends of reform
should “sit steady In ths boat." Don’t
get rattled. Don't And fault with the
men who ars In charge of the work. I
have seen In some of ths papers a fool
ish criticism of the railroad commis
sion bseauss It has on It three of the
best lawyers In the stats, and yet has
been provided with ths counsel of three
or four of the best practicing attorneys
In Georgia The critic says: "One
man could do all the work and have
time to throw away." Those critics
that talk that way should be reminded
that ths railroad commission occupies
ths place of arbiter In ths settlement
of a conflict that has been coming on
tha active stages for thirty years. It
haa been apparent to every Intelligent
observer of public affairs that ths po
litical power of ths grsat corporation
must be abolished and that government
Control offered the only antidote to the
unspeakable evil of great corporate
monopolies. If corporations had never,
tn defiance of law, formed trusts that
were designed and have been used to
crush out competition, the government
would never have found any need for
passing laws to constrain them. The
conflict between the. people and ths
trusts has been growing more and more
Intense for years and every Intelligent
observer haa known that nothing short
of revolution could adjust the differ
ences and secure even handed Justice.
That revolution Is now on and the peo
ple of Georgia and the railroads and
other corporations have every reason
to rejoice that the railroad commission
ts just what it Is. It Is well that ths
number wee Increased from three to
five. Three men might not have been
able to resist ths power of the tempest
of criticism that now rushes upon them.
It ts well that It Is composed of such
men as ars on It. It Is well that It Is
so ably represented In the courts. In
a crisis like this the mere weight of
opinion of five such men. and the able
lawyers that back them, la Itself a
pledge of safety to the people and of

because der man aefer touched me.
But I felt so sorry for a leedle tree
abould half a mile avay to der north.
Den I sent my son Growler home In
a hurry In case der slouch hatter vould
aim at der tree und maybe hit der
leedle fellow.
Den I moved t’oughtfulty in der di
rection of der slouch hat, und der
slouch hat began to move t'oughtfully
In der direction of Hartford, Conn.
I began to move faster und der
slouch hatter occupied der same tactics.
Der last I saw of him he vas going
head-flrstly through der canebrake uml
dictating his semattons to his secre
tary. So I rent home und locked all
der door*.
For a veek Mrs. Bear und I vas afraid
to quarrel above a vlsper because ve
knew dot slouch hat vas back In der
chungle mlt reinforcings, but all ha got
vas olt Uncle Noah bear, vlch vas too
stubborn to stop vorklng on his ark und
go In der cyclone cellar.
Dla I have heerd, Looey, und vile I
ain’t much of nn artist, attll I can draw
my own cnnchislonlngs.
Dare has been so much In der news
papers from der udder point of view
dot I vas glat to be able to gif der
bear's side of dor story. Yours mlt luff,

Justice to the corporations.
Mr. Arkwright Is wise. The real sub
stantial Interest of honest corporations
and ths honest common people are alike
safe In the hands of such a body.
And let ms say to Mr. Watson and
h!e close followers that they will do
wisely to let the railroad commission
have their moral support. That new
law under which they are acting cav
ers nearly everything that can affect
economic conditions In Georgia. Hands
off. Let the revolution go on. Let the
railroad commission establish ths regu
lations that will prevent the monopo
lies from oppressing ths people while
they protect honest corporations in the
£ >roseculton of their legitimate lines of
uslness. Let everybody from Governor
Smith and Tom Watson down to the
humblest "sit steady In the boat."
