OF COURSE REFORM "PINCHES'’ THE "REFORMED.”
The more we think of It the more we take personal and local coni
I fort in that brave Nashville speech of the president of the United States
It would be the essence of all human cowardliness In the prosecu
tion of a great reform to shrink or 'o surrender because correction
raised a howl among the culpable.
There was never a domestic discipline that did not produce the same
result. There was never a Solomon who used a rod to train a child that
did not have protest and outcry and tears during the progress of correc
tion. There was never a criminal chastised by Justice that did not howl
under the grim but wholesome process of the law. There was never a
surgical operation to save a life that did not bring blood nnd tears and
groana while the stern but necessary knife went through the vital part.
There waa never a patient In deadly sickness to whom the remody of rc
lief did not bring temporary discomfort and distress.
And no msn with brains and common Intelligence has failed to real
ise that a tremendous reform movement, set to the correction of evils
that had become almost chronic In the body politic and the body eco
nomic, could have been corrected and set right without a protest or with
out an outcry of displeasure and of pain from the parties that required
the correction.
It would have been simply childish to Imagine that this great re
form movement of the 20th century could have gone on oiled hinges
without any creak or friction whatever. There are evils set In our
system which have grown to be a part of the blood arid the tissue. If
they had remained there they would have poisoned and destroyed the
body of the state. In the course of time their Injury became evident and
the absolute necessity to eliminate them became apparent. The only
thing for a brave and resolute people to do Is to proceed In tbe process
of retnedy without regard to protest or complaint.
Wbat if It dees hurt for a time? So doea the aurgeon’s knife, so
does the rod of tbe parent, so does the remedy of the physician, so does
the nemesis of the law. But tn the end all these are wholesome and the
state and tbe individual are better for the proceis without regard for tbe
temporary suffering or complaint.
We trust In heaven and our better destiny that this great reform of
ttie people will not be itayed by cowardly shrinking or by treacherous
complaint. It came through years of agitation, through the sweat and
tbe strain of heroic effort and through tbe pitched fierceness of heroic
battle. Now that It Is begun dignity and justice and common sense de
mand that It shall be carried (o Its honorable and predestined end.
Let the great remedial bodies framed' by our legislation stop their
ears and blind their eyes to the foolish and senseless clamor of the mul
titude. They know their work. It was cut out for them by the people.
It- was mapped and planned by the stern necessities of the times. Let
them address themselves to this great work, forgetting all else except
justice and reason and tho facts.
And by and by when the clamor la hushed and faction Is still and
tbe noisy outcry of the politician and the lobbyist Is at rest, a grateful
people will arise to thank with full hearts a strong administration and
a brave commission that carried their work without fear nnd without
faltering to Its noble and beneficent conclusion.
GENERAL CLIFFORD ANDERSON.
Eighteen of the twenty-two officers of tho Stato National Guard of
Georgia, by unanimous vote, have promoted Colonel Clifford L. Anderson
of the Fifth reglmont to be brigadier general of the one brigade of the
Georgia State Guard.
This promotion makes Colonel Anderson tha ranking field officer of
the State Guard of Georgia and the most distinguished and prominent
military man In the state.
That the reward It Just, that the promotion la right, and that the
compliment to a gallant civilian soldier and to an accomplished gentle
man Is well placed no man who knows General Clifford L. .Anderson will
for a moment deny.
We have no wars nor rumors of war In our country today. We are
now at peace and likely long to be so, and may the time be far distant
when we shall ever be compelled to take up our arms In actual strife
against another country. Rut In this period of peace when without prej
udice or passion we can speculate on the possibility of wsr, It is good to
know that our civil life preserves and presents those figures which tu
war would make gallant soldiers and equip our leaders for our country's
need. *
Among those the brigadier general of ths Georgia National Guard
Is unquestionably one. A gentleman by birth and breeding, a man of
serene and tranquil courage, a head clear to every detail of civil or mil
itary necessity, and a temper 10 balanced, joined to a spirit so resolute,
It would bo hard to find ao well combined and so admirably poised as
they are In the new chief of tbe military forces of Georgia.
The Georgian speaks not from Impulse or from s casual acquaint
ance. but from a long and intimate knowledge of tbe character and
qualities of the first figure of our state militia, when It say* deliberately
that whether In the possible exigencies of peace when the civil soldiery
ate called to preserve order, or In the possible exigency of war—In
courage, tn clearness and In discretion. Joined to high and iplendld Intel
ligence, General Clifford L. Anderson is easily worthy of the honor con
ferred upon him by his follow officers In the state.
May our gallant general never be called upon to uusheatb his sword
In real and actual strife. Ilut If It should be his fortuue. we are richly
content to risk the honor and the safety of the itate upon a courage aa
dauntless aa the brain behind It Is resolute and clear.
EDITOR CARTER OF JACKSONVILLE.
The many frienda of Mr. William It. Carter, editor of Tbe Jackson
ville Metropolis, will be concerned to hear of his critical Illness. Mr,
Carter wts operated upon for appendicitis on Monday and he Is still In a
gravely critical condition, whose crisis is not yet arrived. One of tho most
earnest and lovable of the newspaper men of the Bouth, the editor of The
Metropolis has endeared himself alike to his patrons and contempo
raries by tbe gifts and graces of a mind and heart that are both pure
gold. He and his partner, Mr. Rufus A. Russell, have made Tbe Me
tropolis one of the most successful and InOuontial afternoon patters of
tho South. It Is a power In Florida affairs, and there are few mon more
popular In the Land of Flowers than Its genial editor and Its sterling
business manager. The press of Georgia will extend Its slncerest sym
pathies to Its lovable contemporary, and Invoke for him the surest and
speediest recovery possible to nature and to Providence.
ANOTHER CARELESS PARAGRAPH.
John Temple Qraves, In Tbe Georgian, saya that politicians
and tbe country newspapers do not tell the farmers tbe truth.
We are not prepared to speak for the politicians, but we believe
the country press come as near telling their readers the truth ns
The Georgian. The trouble Is, John Temple has opinion based
on conviction mixed up with truth. This sage of the daily press
may give an opinion, and he may have a deep conviction that it
Is the truth, yet there will be thousands of a contrary opinion
who are ready to say that It Is not the truth. For real truth and
virtue there Is more of It In the country press than can bs found
In the daily press.—Douglas News.
No. we did not ssy this, and there Is no explanation save careless
ness for tbe misquotation. We did not discriminate against the "country
papers" In the matter. We said the politicians and the papers of the
whole country were much more Inclined to flatter than to tell the truth
tq tbe farmers. Tbe News Is too honest to misrepresent a friend.

PERSONAL APPRECIATION
OF JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES
FROM AUGUSTA CHRONICLE
The announcement, carried In yes
terday’s Chronicle, that John Temple
Graves has given up the editorship of
The Atlanta Georgian, to become the
editor of The New York American, Is
the distinct surprise of the year In
Southern newspaper circles; while, on
account of tha prominence of his new
connection as well as hla own personal
fame, It Is a matter of even national
Interest.
It Is difficult—for us at least—to
write of John Temple Graves' retire
ment from Georgia JournaUani without
touching the personal vein. Because to
many of us bis remove! from Georgia
comes as a personal loss: while we feel
a distinctly personal gratification In
the great compliment that has been
paid him.
Again,, we esteem him ton highly to
write a mere perfunctory editorial, say
ing the usual cut-and-drled things; or
even to try to do so about a man who
Is. himself, distinctly unusual. We pre.
fer to speuk of him—he will bear
analysis—nnd to write a “personal ap
preciation” of this Georgia genius, that
can. at least, claim the merit of sin
cerity for the expressions of admiration
that It contains—and friendship even
where It Is lacking In enthusiasm.
In the first place, we regret that
Georgia Is to lose John Temple Graves.
And. In the second place, we doubly
regret that his genius Is to contribute
to the further exploitation of Hearst
and the peculiar principles embodied
In the term "Hearstlsm"—which, to our
mind, represent merely the power of
money, coupled with colossal cheek, to
J irocure a national Influence for a very
nslgniflcant figure; albeit, now, a very
dangerous one. ..
In this estimation we may lie wrong
—Graves says we are—but It Is. never
theless. our opinion: and we have
never yet known what It was to prnlse
whers wo could not admire. However,
that |e about Hearst—this Is about
G laves.
The American Is certainly to be con
gratulated on eecurlng a man so well
qualified as Sir. Graves undoubtedly Is,
to cater to Ita particular audience;
while Mr. Graves Is to be congratu
lated on the salary that goes with the
J ob—which Is generally reputed to be
10,000 a year, or more; though any
figures above 110,000 are unintelligible
to the average Georgia newspaper
man. anyway.
Whatever the salary Is. Graves It
worth It—to Hears!. Or to any paper,
for that matter; because whatever
part of It he may not earn editing his
newspaper, he earns advertising It.
Though the good Lord forbid us to
speak lightly of the former. We used
to do It; we and other plain, every-day
newspaper men who "foregathered once
u;on a time" to discuss our betters;
we used to ask ourselves the question—
"Is Graves a real editor? Will the
public prefer rhetoric to logic?”
The answer Is tlO.OOO a year—or
116,000. which Is It? While the others
of us are drawing—a "living,” as us
ual. But the answer came before
Hearn's offer—we shall call It "prince
ly" offer. The answer come with the
tuccess of the old Atlanta News, which
continued—until Graves left It. It
came again with the establishment of
another splendid dally paper—built
around a man, "The Georgian: John
Temple Graves editor— nuff sad." And
The Georgian lute been a success; a
tremendous success; at once the clean,
est. the beet looking and the best aft
ernoon paper In the Bouth.
We have watched that experiment
with the very keenest Interest—a news
paper built around a man. The Geor
gian gained for Graven, or Graves
gained lor the Georgian—Just os you
prefer to see It—ah audience every
where. The paper has attracted even
national attention; for no Democratic
newspaper could suggest that William
Jennings Bryan nominate Theodore
Roosevelt for a third term without
making sober-minded Americans, wher
ever they might hear of It, alt up and
take notice.
But It was not his fondness for the
blxarre In editorial thought alone that
has given John Temple Graves a dis
tinctive place In Journalism; for his cd.
Mortals are noted for their tluent dic
tion, their sky-scraping effect—their
John Tetnpleresqueness, that made
them, at once, the wonder of his own
craft and the admiration of many'oth
ers. To "sling English llko Graves”
has become a colloquialism in almbst
every newspaper office—and a stand
ard never yet attained by any other
mortal man.
By the profession Graves Is recog
nized. at once, as a—Journalist. A man
born to ths trade. And a "clean" Jour
nalist he la—Immaculate in his every
thought and expression. An Ideal
ist. perhaps, In his policies; but
with both the courage and the ability
to defend them. A "player to the gal
lerles." say those who haven’t a full
appreciation of Graves. But, If so—
well, look at that 615,000 a year. And
look at Graves' audiences. And If it Is
a larger "gallery" he wants, why, cer
tainly he has the vjholc three tiers, and
the pit thrown tn. when he steps to
tho front on Hearst's American—"Mr.
Hearst's first and most serious news
paper effort," as Mr. Graves, himself,
puts It. God save the mark! But,
then, John Temple takes everything so
seriously.
That John Temple Graves, however,
will adorn the American, there Is no
doubt. That he will not only sustain
his reputation as the one bright star
In the southern Journalistic sky, but
will win now laurels and wield n fur
wider Influence with a vastly larger
audience, goes without saying. And
we Georgians can but find general and
personal gratification In the honot-B
that have come to our fellow citizen;
honore that have been deeervedly won
and that will be worthily worn.
If, perchance, all of us cannot agree
with Mr. Graves In his peculiar views
of public questions, and his even more
peculiar estimate of certain public men.
we can. at least, differ without loping
our confidence' In nnd admiration for
Graves himself—"for Matthew was a
true man.”
Personally the most lovable of men,
John Temple Graves has won the
friendship of good men everywhere.
With a heart ns tender and Sympa
thetic its a woman's and a knightly
grace that draws to hint all with whom
he comes In personal contact, not the
least element of Ids success has been
his personal hold'on Ids Individual ac
quaintances. tn Journalistic combat
he always fought valiantly but fairly,
and never have we known him to bear
a grudge or make an enemy.
For his future, we will all—public
and press alike—wish him well, and
watch his course with Interest and
pride. And for the splendid newspaper
from which he retires, the same. The
success that It has already attained—
If attained, as we believe It was,
through Its merits as a newspaper,
and not on the Individual reputation of
any one man—ought to be the best
guarantee that It has established a
place for Itself In southern journalism.
Certainly, there Is no better newspaper
nnywhere; and with such a staff as
Mr. Seely has gathered about him.
with such a man as Beely himself to
manage them and guide the destinies
of the paper, the Georgian should be
a ble to spare even John Temple
raves, and must continue to be. ns It
has been heretofore—the cleanest, beet
looking and bent afternoon newspaper
In the South.

^ icy with its customers as consistent and* safe
banking methods would warrant. It cordially in
vites the accounts of firms, corporations and indi
viduals, feeling confident that once a business re
lation is established it will result in mutual satisfac
tion and profit.

NO NEGRO CAN PRESfOE.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In a recent Issue of your paper Mias
Elisabeth Elllcott Poe, In her report of
the Episcopal convention at Richmond.
Va.. sounded an alarm a* to the danger
of a negro presiding bishop under the
old seniority rule. She said:
”As It Is now. Bishop Ferguson, of
Africa, the only negro blahop In the
house of bishops. Is directly In line of
auccteelon to the of Tice of presiding
blahop, those ahead of him being In
feeble health.”
It Is evident that Miss Poe Is Igno-
rant of the polity of the Episcopal
church, otherwise she could not have
made this misleading statement. No
missionary blahop can become the pre
siding bishop, nor can any bishop hold
that high office unless his diocese Is
located In the United States.
Rev. Samuel David Ferguson. D. D.,
D. C. L., consecrated on June 24, 1855,
Is not only a missionary blahop. but Ills
8eo Is Cape Palmas. In Africa, both of
which make him Ineligible to be presid
ing blahop. Again, there are several
healthy, active white btshope of the
United States ahead of him, and next
below Is Bishop JSdwIn Gardner Weed,
of Florida.
In the past, under the seniority rule,
the senior blahop has not always been
In fact a presiding bishop. My dear old
friend. Bishop John Williams, of Con
necticut, wh> mu invalid and could not
preside, and his successor. Bishop
Thomas M. Clark, of Rhode Island, was
also a confirmed invalid, wo my other
dear old friend. Bishop Henry B. Whip
ple, of Minnesota, presided for both of
them until his death, which occurred In
1801.
These facts lead me to believe that
the office or honor of senior bishop
should be separated from that of pre
siding bishop, who should be elected
from the robust and active list of blah-
ops. But the oldest bishop should still
retain the name of senior bishop as a
merely honorary title, and be treated
with the courteey due his old age and
long service.

COTTON, GRAIN AND STOCKS.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Tile solution of the cotton question, the
grain and stork question* are of vast Im
portance to the people of America, and
ao I offer the following eolation or sug
gestion aa n remedy: First, abolish all
these exchanges that deni In futures; make
It a penal or criminal offense for any person
to octl a hale of cotton or a twsket of
«*orn or oat* for future delivery, unless
be baa aetnal ixsiaeasJot) at tbe time tbe
sale la made; stop nil selling of futures and
stock gambling nr all kinds: stop the selllug
of margins, break up all the gambling on
the price of any commercial commodity.
I*t demand and supply and ability to buy
control the market, and make It a criminal
offense to sell a bale of cotton or bushel
of corn nnd then not deliver It. All these
callings nnd operations by speculators la
only grafting in commerce, and a hard
hnrden to l»ear and an Injury to real login,
mate trade. And to do sway with tbe
middle man or speculator lu tbe cotton busi
ness. all we have to do la for tbe mill men
to establish agents or bnyevs, and Issue
tnera will* agree to do this, and do It. of
In futures, and ( feel sure that the grafters
will all be eliminated.

“My first and only experience with for
eign Immigration," said George M. Crap-
Unit, president of the Georgia Fruit l’ack-
age Company, of Fort Valley, Macon and
Koveral other cities In the state, “was about
a year ago, when I brought a small party
of Austrians nnd their families to our plant
at Bridgeport. Ala. They did good work
while they were there, and helped ua out
of a hole when we needed Intxir, but they
were rather expensive. This small party
cost $650 to bring them South, nnd within
thirty dars tbe last one of them disap
peared. They Jnsf le/t a few af a time until
there was not one left. Where they went
we never learned, but th# experiment was
a costly one."
First Vice President L. fierier, of the Sea
board Air Line, arrived In Atlanta Wednca-
day. nnd spent the day here on business.
He called upon Assistant General Passenger
Agent W. E. Christian, and held a confer

that Mr. Sevier's visit to Atlanta wot
