Things debatable rapidly grow to things desirable and almost as rapid ly to tblaga accomplished fn these Moving days. Better seriously debate the matter with yourself, Recorder. 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.

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. SIDNEY HERBERT. Maitland, Fla. 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.
