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.

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 ARMY-NAVY ORDERS —AND— MOVEMENTS OF VESSELS Army Orders, Washington, Oct. 19.—Captain Chas.
