Thoughts shut up want air, And spoil, like bales unopened to the sun. —Edward Young. That Royal Farce in Spain. Today at high noon, In the churth or San Gcronimti, Madrid, the young King of Spain took aa his wedded wife a '."rig princess of the reigning house of England. T hey were aurrounded by all the pomp and ceremo nial which eueh an occasion would naturally evoke, par ticularly in a land where the gewgaws of royalty have al- waya been In striking contrast with the poverty of the *eci|ile. ffvio hundred artists sang tho eplthslamlum while rcpAscntatlves from every court of Europe and every won-Editable republic of the old and new world beamed and genuflected In all the trappings of state. The rich notes of the organ In the famous old church rolled out in aonnrous diapasons as If an event which roally contrib uted to the welfare of mankind were taking-place before sumptuous altar. From every quarter of the globe congratulations and perfunctory tributes will be offered this "happy pair” who aro to perpetuate tt]e decadent dynasty of Spain. We hare no desire to combat the Idea that "all the world love* a lover.” It I* true. The heart of the world turns with eipeglal tender- nesa toward two young people who link their Uvea for better or for worse and go out to face the fate and for- tunc that await them. Aa Individuals we with the ec- centrlo young sprig of royalty and hla ambitious wife all the hnpplnesa and good fortune that can come to them. Hut there Is something hollow and Insincere—some thing. Indeed, Inconsistent with the Ideas of a democratic republic, In the tendency to grow effusive over this marriage of convenience which the cunning supportera of kingcraft have arranged to sustain the falling fortunes <>f a pinchbeck monarchy which onco ruled half the world. If there were anything really manly, according t< in. accepted standards of manhood. In tho anaemic little Ling around whom so much of pomp, pride and glorious • in umstance Is centered today, there would be a natural Band commendable disposition to bid him God-speed In npltq of the fact that he chanced to be boyi with the idea that he Is better than other people. But In point of fact he Is ill-favored to the point of rcpulslveneaa. Hla feeble frame la In keeping with his shallow Intellect. What would be Intolerable In any average American i boy passes for eccentricity In this little scion of the fltouse of Bourbon, who baa so many of tho ravoltlng characteristics, without any of the charm of manner or Intellectual vigor, of the Louis of France. The blood of lila profligate grandmother Is flowing full and freoly In Ms veins, and many has been the time that conserve- ti'e Spaniards have sighed for the return of a demo- eistlc republic with some such man at eloquent, girted oM Kmlllo Caatelar at the head. ‘ < Turning somersaults Into the royal palace, during hU reecnt vlalt to England, may be set down as boyish eiiiiicrsnce by those who choose to apologise for the 'ahnrt comlngt of royalty and assume that the king, though he be a very small king, can do no wrong. But this was about the mildest of the reproaches brought u|K>n him, and without becoming prophets of evil we mny assume that It will be regarded hereafter aa but a venial fault compared to what m*y be expected of him. The very rejoicings of tho wedding are Interrupted by the news that hla slater, forced Into one of these mar- rlaKua of state, has found the young Bavarian grand- dukei who took her unwillingly as hla bride, so Intolerable In his profligacy and brutality that she can no longer live with him, and she stand* among the gay scene* of the capital like a death's head at the feast. And then, too, there la traveling somewhere on tho mmlnont a handsome and manly young fellow of the bride'* own land and tongue who had loved her loyally aml sincerely since the days of childhood. And the rumor runs that she loved him In return. L But what are the natural ttea of affection to consid ers! i"its of state? What are the feelings of young Arthur Con naught, who could hope for nothing higher then to lounge at the footstool of a throne, compared to the rank and title of a queen? He may take bis natural affection and tho happy memoriae of hla childhood and bury them as best *he war In the mad vortex of the world. “King* ride to eminence Over men's graves." Hla Is but one more heart sacriflced to the Moloch of monarchy. The revelers In the Escurial tonight will not give him a passing thought. But perhaps there will be a no- me nary pang on the pert of one or tho chief actors In tho to i»-critical drama. In the midst of the mirth and tplen- dor that surround her, while mantling toasta aro pledged to ier future happiness, there may come a vagrant v - rnory of better and happier days, when the emotions o' tier heart were allowed to swell with freedom and sin- co'ity, and the mockery of Imperial state will akadow her very soul. i There Is enough of this sort of thing In the world JM. best The bauble of the tempter Is not slwsys a Hcrowo. There may be rank and splendor to appeal to ™Jp»lsdlrected ambition, even In the midst of democratic in- gtltutloos. But when these Barmaclde feasts are held in honor fe*f that discredit^ theory of government which still PRravalls la the moth-eaten kingdom over whleh little Al t' nso preside*, we may smile Indulgently upon the Indl- > 'duals, but for king and queen and their marriage of t stats we can feel little else than mingled pity and. de rision. The youi.g queen recalls that the national bird of i‘Netherlands Is the stork. i any rare, it's a great boost for "The Jungle.” An Epochal Speech. Tho addrese of Chairman Shoots at the Chamber of Commerce banquet was an epochal event In the Industrial history of the South. . In cloar. simple and unpretentious language the great engineer addressed what waa perhaps the moet repre sentative gathering of Atlanta's bualnea# and commer cial Interests that have assembled within the laat decade of our municipal life. The conditions surrounding the canal were made plainer In. that very brief speech than they have over been In the many readings and published comments which have appeared In the print*. Men who listened. as every one listened, with rapt attention, felt almost aa If they had been themselves to Panama and had seen with their owh eyes the conditions there. The central Incident, however, of Air. Shoots' visit to Atlanta waa hla argument for the lock Instead of the sea level canal. Mr. Bhnntv, In this argument, takes issue with the report of tho majority committee of the United States senate as represented by Senator Klttredge, and there waa not a man of the strong and Intelligent audience which heard him who waa not convinced thor oughly by the arguments of the engineer as to the su perior eligibility of the lock canal. If tho motion had been made the Chamber of Com merce and tho representative Atlantan* who gathered there would, with ono voice, have pledged their support to that theory of construction and would have pledged their Influence with our Georgia representative* to voto for It. Mr. Shouts did not say so and could not say so as a public ofllclal at this time, but it waa quite evident from hi* argument that there are malign Influences work ing against tho ultimate success of the Panama canal. 8ome of these influence* nr?, o* course, foreign, aud come from other nations who are Jealous of the splendid de velopment of trade which would come to our country from Its completion. Some of these element* of oppo sition are domestle, and one does not have to go far to discover a source of opposition In the trans-continental railways of the country. At the-present time It take* from flvo to six day* for the trans-continental lines to carry even passenger traffic from Ban Francisco to New York. It would probably take twice as long to trans port freight across the contluent. When we recall the remarkable statement made by Mr. Bhonta that with the Panama canal completed vessels of sixteen-knot speed ard over could go from San Fran cisco to New York In loutrtoen djjs, we can realize how tremendous would be the competition of this water way with Hie aii rail route across the mountains and the plains. The saving In coat to ttlfe shipper and the con sumer would be colossal, aa none know better than we who have found how the claim of water rates from New York to Savannah has been the constant and unsurmount- able obstacle to our battle for leaser freight rates In the South. It Is, at least, reasonable to asy that no other Influence In America could have so great a reason for Im peding and thwarting the Panama canal than these great corporations, and It will be Interesting In this connection to watch the debate which Is now gathering in the senate and In tho house upon these systems of canal to see how far the power of the railroad lobby can coerce the votes of senators and congressmen upon a great measure which Involves the prosperity of nations and the reduction of cost to shippers and consumers throughout the contlnunt, It will be well upon this great question to watch the lineup and aee how fur the powerful end convincing argu ment of th* great engineer will be met by the mercenary method* of the tram-continental railroad lobby at tho national capitol. It i* a matter of Interest to hear from Mr. Shoots a smaller estimate of the time to be spent In the con struction of tho canal. Moat of us had been taught to believe that the tonal co.tld not bo built under eleven years, and probably fifteen. Mr. Bhonta stated last night to the Chamber of Commerce that six year*, or at tho outside seven, uudor present circumstances, would see the completion of the great waterway that knits tho conti nents. The distinct benefits then, which we have received from tho visit Of the chairman of the canal commission, are, Aral, a clear conception of th* present condition* of the canal; a better and mare accurals Idea of the time of its posalblo completion; an Intelligent understanding of tho greater desirability of th« lock over the sea level canal, and a definite warning aa to the political Influences which we must light through our representative* upon this great International question. To this profitable fruit of tno visit of tho great en gineer, It Is our pleasure to add the enjoyment whleh wo have had from hit m->,el patriot! uu, his manly nature and hla genial personality. there Is scarcely a man engaged in active life today whose pockets aro not fuller and whoso prospects are not brighter than they were ten years ago. It Is not Improper or untimely In this period of splen did accumulation to remind the fortunate ones In whose hands their work has prospered of the example of this noble philanthropist of our city. Let the man who ha* all and more than hit needs require go out to Decatur and see tho temple* of character and of Intellect built by the wise beneficence of one man; let him contem plate the- far-reaching, effects ,of the generality which stretches through tho generation* to come; and let him behold In the noble'troop of Georgia' maidens who go out year by year to bless homes and to better society, the form and substance of -the best monument which wealth can build against forgetfulness and decay. And may the example of George W. Scott be mul tiplied and magnified in the generation in which we live,... •> party If Walter Wellman really wants to And the north pole, all well and good; but If he la-merely looking, for exciting adventures he should make a Journey over the Peachtree aaphalt. A Noble Way to Spend Money. Among the collego commencement* of the present season, all of which have been brilliant and successful, there la an especial algnlflcance In tho closing exercises of yesterday at the Agnes Bcott College In Decatur. And tbla. not more because of the very high standard amt reputo of this noble Institution, but because It typed hpth In tho beginning and In the dedication of Rebekah Scott hall on yesterday the splendid beneficence of one noble cltisen toward tho cause of education. The example of the late Colonel George W. 8eott has been left as a legacy to the generations of our rich men who are to follow. Out of the careful methods and the high standards of his own strong and useful life, which wasted nothing In extravagance and spent no money on foolish display, he has built an Institution of which the city of Atlanta and the people of Georgia may wall be proud. Tho Institution would never have grown to It* present proportions or attained Us present remarkable usefulness, but for the heroic liberality of Colonel Scott, and there were tew among the great company of thought ful men and women who gathered on yesterday at that beautiful new building, who did not feel that the best mouument which can be built by the men of this genera tion Is In the establishment of useful and noble Institu tions. whose mission Is to uplift and better the youth of our country and the homes of the future. To The Georgian It appears that there Is no nobler avenue for the expenditure of money and philanthropy than in the cause of education, and tbla not carelessly flung or rashly distributed by the hand of wealth. Colonel Scott stipulated io all his noble benefactions that the standards of tho school should be high, both In mind. In morals and In character. It baa been from the begin ning an eaaentlal of the Institution that he founded that thoroughness, truth and painstaking care ehould be the requisite* of every teacher and every curriculum. The founder of the Agnes Scott Institute has been fortunate In the executors of hla bequest and In the wile and prudent hands Into which the control of the Insti tution has passed. The South la growing rich la a thousand ways and Writing of Monmouth College (located In Illinois), which la celebrating Its semi-centennial, William E. Cur tis says, In The Chicago Record-Herald: ■Theodore P. Bhonta, chairman of the* Panama C*. nat Commission, clast of "it, Is one of the star graduates. He was a good boy In his youth, a model student; he never gave any trouble to the faculty and his example over the other students waa always effective for good. Everybody who knew him then predicted that he would be a great man qptt a good man, and now they aay T told you so.' ” The Passing of Michael Davitt. The death of Michael Davitt does not come aa a surprise, but the Information that the great Irish patriot and reformer has Anally passed away la none the lea* re ceived with deep and sincere regret Few men In modern times have suffered more for the cause of Ireland than Michael Davitt. The son of peasant parents, he began as a mere boy to work In a cotton mill, where he had the misfortune to lose bis right arm. Subsequently he became a printer'- apprentice and fol lowed thia trade until he was 22 years of age, In the mean time educating himself. On a charge of sedition he was arrested and sen tenced to fifteen years In prison. He served but halt the sentence at that time, but It waa the beginning of a aeries of Imprisonments which aggregated nine yean. These persecutions bad no Influence whatever upon him, and each time, upon bis release, he went to work with the martyr's seal to advocate the cause of home rule for Ireland. He vres a forceful speaker and a strong writer and succeeded In establishing a large following. He was one of the Idols of the people, and when he set to work to organise the Irish Land League the people In erery sec tion of the world who sympsthlzed with the wrongs of Ireland rallied to hla cause. He was married to an American woman, and when he returned to hit native county in Ireland waa pre sented with a home, “Land League cottage,” by his admiring countrymen aa a bridal present. His conduot during the trying period when leading Irishmen were endeavoring to unite the Nationalist party will always remain greatly to hla credit, and suffi ciently indicates the gentleness of his nature. The disruption of the forces of home rule, brought about by the fall of Charles Stuart Parnell, is too fresh In the public mind to need recapitulation here. That It. was unfortunate In the extreme there can be no doubt. Both factions felt very strongly on-the subject, and yet success. It waa realised, coutd not be achieved except by union and co-operation. The Parnetlltee were In a hopeless minority, led by John Redmond, while the majority of the Irish Nation alists, opposed to the Pr.-nellltes, were led by John Dillon, who waa one of the ablest leadens of an; In the house of commons. Rising to the highest plane of unselfishness Dillon proposed to resign his leadership of the majority in favor of Redmond, the Parnelllte leader, with the understand ing on both sides that the Nationalist party should smite on the principles of borne rule as understood before the factional division brought about by Parnell. The proposal waa accepted by the Parnellltes and John Redmond became the leader of the united Nation alist party. Michael Davitt bed been a strong antl-Pamelllte, but he, too, rose to the occasion and lent all the force of hie splendid personality to the cause of harmony. It Is largely due to hie effort* that the Irish National ist party presents such a united front today. He will be remembered longest, however, at the founder of the Land League, and by hi* writings on the subject of home rule. He woe a man of the loftiest character and of marked ability, and hit death will be sincerely mourned. reepon- Mr. Ed Ansley &s Host. Mr. Edwin P. Ansley very'handsomely supplemented the hospitality of Atlanta on Wednesday evening to one of the most distinguished guests that the city bos ever entertained. The friendship between Mr. Ansley and Mr. Theo dore P. Shoots had Its origin In a little act of kindness and hospitality extended many yeara ago by Mr. Ansley to the two daughter* of Mr. Shonts, who came to Georgia seeking health and education In a softer clime. Out of pure consideration for a stranger, and at bis own re quest, Mr. Ansley received the two young daughters of Mr. Shonts, not so famouti then as now. Into his home, end gave them the kindness end attention which he lav ished upon his own household. The friendship which has grown out of this Incident Is a very strong and unusual one, and la mutually creditable to the gratitude of the great engineer and to the unvarying hospitality aud kind ness of our popular real estate uian. The hospitality which Mr. Ansley showed his friend on lari night was of the genulae type of the old South, hearty, unstinted, unpretentious and beautiful, aud the guests of the evening, while paying tribute on every occasion to the great engineer, did not fail either In their hearts or on their lips to remember and to express their high appreciation of the strong, vita) and big-hearted cltl- sen who has done ao much for the development of Atlanta, and hat won to himself so large and loyal a circle of friends.

Let ue turn to the words of Jesus namely, "This Is My blood, which was shed for man, for the remleelon of sins (Matt. 26:28); also, the Apostle Paul preaching, 'The Church, which Christ hath purchased with His own blood” (Acts 20 th chapter, eighth verse); also, the Apostle Peter preach ing, "Ye are redeemed with the pre cious blood of Christ” (X Peter, :«i chapter, 19th verse). I believe that "Jeaus Christ died for my sins ac cording to the Scriptures;" that "the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth me from sin;" that "the word of our God standeth sure, having this seat, the Lord knoweth them that are Hie:" that ‘ He Is able to keep that which I have committed to Him against that day.” And, in conclusion, "that noth ing shall be able to separate me from the love of God, which Is In Christ Jetue."

Editor of The Georgian: If these Atlantans and Georgians who have helped so mightily to build the city and the state wish to vote With the Democrats In this state elec tion as they have done for so many yeara past, we cannot see any wisdom or any Justice, or any courtesy In abut ting them out. The personal partisanship which moves the euggeetlon Is far more to be dreaded by the real Democracy than are the ballots of these loyal Geor gians to the welfare of the party or the elate.—The Georgian. May 10. The above clipping la full of horse •ense, as full as an egg can be of moat. If the Democrats of Georgia would only drop all their conventions amt go to the people end let them speak through a general white primary vote and name all your officers and all your committees In this way, all would be well. First, adopt the Australian ballot law and use It In your primary nomi nations. aa well ax In your elections. X«u will be astonished at the resnlts- no law that the Carolina! or Missis slppl have passed Is equal to a white primary or an election with Austral ian ballot to eliminate the negro vote— he simply quite, dors not go to the primaries nor the election. After the first experience, when the negro goes Into a booth to prepare his ballot with two or three names for governor, mem bers of congress, legislature, Judges, sheriff, tax collector, tax assessor, magistrate, constable, etc., he simply stands appalled, and nine times out of ten Is so confused that he does not know what to do—the chances are that he will not put a cross before hair the name* he ought to, and the most of the crosses ore at the wrong side. Again, the primary system of nomi nations eliminates the "boss;" there la no place for him to work. Could Georgia and Alabama and Tennessee and Kentucky, Mississippi and Louisi ana and Texas aud Arkansas and Vir ginia and North Carolina and South Carolina have selected their delegates to the 8t. Louie convention two years ago, through the primary. Roosevelt would not today be president. The ne gro has long since' ceased to vote ex cept w hen he Is paid for It. and with the Australian ballot there Is no place to make payments—the result is, he does not go to the election half of the time. I remember to have read In a Geor gia paper only a very few years bark that at some election held In the state that the most of the afternoon of the election day waa spent by,a treat many negroes, walking around with IS and $10 bills pinned to their coat col lars. that bad been pah) them for their vote. The white primary and the Aus tralian ballot puts a stop to all such. The primary for all nominations in stead of "hoes" ruled conventions to th* hope of our country.

John Temple Graves:' May I tell yon, please sir, bow grate fully glad I am of your triumphal re entrance Into your own peerless realm of Journalism? The classic beauty and nobleness of your editorials, their loyalty to truth, to purity and Justice, the dauntless heroism of their attacks against the “hydra-headed" vlcee, menacing the peace and sanctity of social and do mestic life, their knightly defens* of the helpless and the Innocent should make The Atlanta Georgian, an hon ored guest, In every heart and home of our dear Southland.

Ood speed your noble work! Respectfully, MISS EMMA 8. COWDREY. Let Professional Men Contribute. Mr. John Temple Graves: The newspapers have done admirably thorough work In soliciting donations for the exposition, but It seems to me they have been somewhat partial In their favor*—that they have .sought the business men much more regularly than the professional men, notably the lawyer* and physicians. Now. of course, some lines of busi ness will be vastly benefited by the exposition, but other* wilt receive only tli„ Indirect benefit which wlll'come to all citizen* of Atlanta. Even the em ployees of many firms are giving. If a young employee can contribute, the young M. D. or lawyer also could. It xeima to this humble scribe. There are lawyers and physicians here whose annual Income Is considerably larger than that of even some Whitehall street merchant*. Yet the Whitehall street merchants are the pack horses of Atlanta In the matter of public giv ing. Exposition* may come and expo sitions may go, but giving with the Whitehall street merchants goes on forever. I am like the rest of the wort-1. If I am soliciting subscriptions for any public cause, from a straw berry festival to a world's fair, I call on my merchant friends with smiling cheek and levy tax upon them. But when It comes to asking law yers or physicians, my courage falls, even though It be my own legal ad viser or my own family physician horn I desire to approach. Now, this la manifestly wrong, both as a matter of Justice and of pride. It goes without saying that as fine professions as that of law and medi cine are not composed of laggards, who wish to Idly enjoy life's successes, but contribute nothing to them. They want to do their full part, of course. So I suggest classified lists of contributors. If I am not mistaken this has already been used to a small extent, th* hotel men and perhaps on* or two other oc cupations having given under their re spective headings. Why not extsnd the Idea to all lines of bualnsss? Why not give classified lists of all bankers, lawyers, physicians, i„ ■,-to' etc., with the amounts contributed In dlvldually? Then nobody would be alighted. Very truly yours, JULIA O'KEEFE NELSON. DOCTRINE OF THE ATONEMENT. Editor The Georgian. I beg space to reply to an article by Rev. Dean Ellsnwood- In the May 12 Issue of The Georgian, headed ''Vica rious Atonement a Dangerous Doc trine," not that I think the' doctrine needs defense, for It has stood the at tacks of centuries, but to enter my humble proteat against what I believe to be the truth (sa I understand God's word, Interpreted under the light and guidance of God the Holy Ghost), be ing held up before the reading public aa a dangerous doctrine, as deserving a place only In the remote history of the human race, as one that Is dally becoming more abhorrent, as one that will not save. I am or the opinion that the secular press may be used to help religious news, and am quite willing for any one to express, their opinions and con victions concerning their beliefs and doctrines through this medium, but I do not believe that the secular press Is the place to denounce and belittle the religious beliefs of another. I once heard a very learned minister say "that he could prove from the Bi ble. by Isolating passages, that It wax a man's duty to hang himself,” and In proof of the statement said "the Bible telle us that ‘Judas went out and hanged himself;’ It also says ‘Go and do thou likewise.'" The author of the article above has attempted to do away with the doc trine of the atonement, In very much the tame way that my friend proved that It was a man's duty to hani lm- self. He asks; “What said the great Mas ter of Life?" Listen: Not every on* that aalth unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter Into the kingdom of‘heaven, hut If* that doeth the will of My Father, which to In heaven. What to the will of My Father, which Is In heaven? Listen ngaln: And In re ply he goes to tho Old Testament for an answer to one of the prophets of the Hebrews tor answer tMlcah tth chapter and eighth verse), to the time when ths Lamb slain as a sin offering had a place amongst the history and developments of religious conceptions. Why did h# not answer the question asked by tue words of Jesus himself; namely, "This to the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent? (Jfchn 6th chapter and 29th verse.) Running from the beginning to the end of the Bible, like a golds* thread, to the truth that “without the shedding of blood there Is no remleelon ot sins " And In the epistle to the Hebrews we are warned "not to trample under foot Jesus Christ, nor count the blood of the covenant an unholy thing." And yet Mr. Ellsnwood tell* us. In the arti cle In question, that "the average man or woman nt adult Intellect and highly developed moral sense, doss not wel come vtcarlou atonement, and further adds that "this doctrine finds no basis of fact In the actual experience of the human heart."* And that "to the hu man heart It to dally becoming more Tits sunbeams, lost for half a year.
