THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE It la the part of wisdom to spend little of your time upon the things that vax and anger you, and much of your time upon the things that bring you quietness and confidence and good cheer. —Henry. Van Dyke. Will Our Natural Increase Render Im migration Unnecessary ? A few days ago In a carefully prepared and statin tlcal editorial The Georgian undertook to point out some of the danger* to be avoided In pressing the matter of Immigration upon the people of these Southern and Southwestern states. From the figures and statistics of the department at Washington we made It clear that there had been a grt at change In the nature, origin and quality of the Im u. grants from the homogeneous and assimilable people thorefi. It waa demonstrated that conditions had changed materially within the pait half-century, and tl.it whereas we were once accustomed to draw our lm I- igraiit* from the homogenous and aaaimllable people of England. Scotland, Ireland, France and Germany, that ot l.i to years thero has been a steady drift ot Immigra tion away from these countries and that our source of supply ha* lately come almost exclusively from the coun tries ‘of southern Europe, Austria, Hungary, Roumanla, Poland and southern Russia. It was moreover made manifest from the census that the statistics of crime made by these Immigrants from southern Europe show an immense difference In favor of the western Europeans, and that the criminal annals of the country were being enormously recruited by the Isms and revolutionary aplrlt of tho southern European coun tries. In stating these things we frankly expressed our consciousness of the gfcat necessity of this country for Immigrants to supply our depleted Acids of labor and to l orform the ever-multiplying tasks of our advancing civ ilization In which the acarclty of help waa becoming more manifest and more and more menacing through tin- constant Increase of unthrift and tho unreliability of the negro In his exodus from the Delda and the farm* to Die Idleness and crime of the cities. We have been much Impressed and much gratlAed by the cordial and Intelligent reception which this edito rial discussion has received from the thoughtful and Interested people ot the South. We have messages and telegrams ot endorsement and congratulation, and earnest requests that wo should continue to agitato this vast and vital queitloii along these wholesome lines. We publish today ou this page, and It la the purpose of this editorial to direct attention to It, n thoughtful and comprehensive article from Mr. Bernard Suttler, of this city, who has for many years given groat thought and much Intelligent Investigation to tho theme. While all of Mr. Suttler'* contributions are Interesting In a high degree, there Is a special significance In tbo figures which l a gives-touching the material increase In our own pop ulation. Tho argument of Mr. 8uttler seema to center around the proposition, Arst: That we do not need Immigrants, and Second: That our own population Is growing so rap- Idly that In a short time wo will have all and more ot the numbers which we need to populate our Industrial iliftricts and to Inhabit the waiting acres of this laud. If Mr. SutUer's Agures are correct, and we have every eonddence In his accuracy and conscientious diligence and ability, then they are profoundly worthy ot the con- 1- - ration of thoughtful men, and It becomes a serious question whether our necessities are great onough at this time to tempt ut to supply n present and not abso- 1 itely essential need by Importing Into our civilisation Dm aliens who are not assimilable and who can scarcely be deemed desirable and helpful to the civilisation ot the 8outh. Mr. Suttler'a Agures will richly repay the careful reading ot any thoughtful man, whether he be Interested nr not In the subject of immigration, because they i idleate that the steady and constant increase ot i ir population Is supplying all the needs of this great i eople, and with the numerical bails of Increase con stantly enlarging the multiplication of people within the next four decadet will bo simply enormous In numbers and In scope. Upon the statistics of increase given by the census, C, irgla will have In 1950 Ave and one-half millions of peo- l le; In 1970 nearly eight millions of people and In 2000 nearly fourteen mllllona of people. These Agures Indicate houf little room there will be left .or foreigners in this great country when we provide for the Increase of our own domestic population durigg the coming century. This is no light question which Mr. Suttler touches l ere. It la deeper than dven the probe which he pushes into IL We have the Aneat and purest population In the world In these Southern itatea. If we are going to bring any foreign people here to share It we should make it a rigorous prerequisite that they shall be of the beet and liUhest class of foreigners that can be brought to our American shores. If we can not get this class of peo ple we can richly afford to do without any. We are getting rich fast enough and our Aelds and minor and factories are growing apace. Our growth la steady enough to satisfy the most exacting avarice of any rea sonable Imagination, and for our own part, looking Into . the future In which our children are to live and Aourish, and to settle the problem of civilisation which stretches .-beyond these present days, we are seriously opposed to any amalgamation of these great Caucasian race* In Die 8outh with any people who will bring with them the Infernal Jargon of the foreign tongues which makes such discord and disturbance In the cities of Chicago, New Tork and other localities where these aliens of revolu tionary and lawless aplrlt live. We sincerely trust that no new-found zeal on the part of the land agents or the railroads which foster Immigration and who have personal Interests at aUke, will blind either themselves or this people to the consider- a m of this great question ot Immigration with anything 1,-aH than a clear conception of its meaning and a high | appreciation of Its dangers and a keen sense of tho duty whlch so great a people aa ours owe not less to Its past and Its present thin to Its great and homogeneous future. The Defeat of “Gas” Addicks. The election of Col. Henry A. Dupont as a senator from Delaware ends the long-drawn contest with "Gas Addicks which has been going on for more than eleven years. Never In the history of American politics, perhaps, has there been such a determined effort on the part of any man to override the wishes of hli people and thrust himself Into the upper house as the president of the Bay State Gas Company has made. His optimism and perseverance alone command admiration In a char acter In which there la practically nothing else to admire. The chicanery practiced l»y Addicks has made hli name a by word, and yet he had set his heart so strongly on the senatorshlp that nothing could cool hla ardor. In May, 1895, the note in the Delaware legislature stood fffteen for Addicks and fifteen for Dupont, but among tho number who voted for Addleks was a former speaker of the house who had become governor of the state. The right ot the ex-speaker to vote In the elec tion was contested. The committee reported against It, and In favor of tba election of CoL Dupont, who, without the contested vote, would have a majority of one. By a strict party majority of one, the senate refused to seat him. In the following year the Addleks and Dupont fac tions each sent a delegation to the national Republican convention. The Dupont delegation-waa seated and waa thenceforward known as the "regular" Republican party, while the Addicks faction took the name of the Union Republican party. In 1899, when a new aenator wae to be chosen to succeed Hon. George Gray, a deadlock ensued aud the senatorshlp remained vacant. Again in 1900 each ot the two factions sent dele gates to the national Republican convention, and this time the Addicks delegatee were seated, but this stood the ^aa man In little atead, for In the following year he was again defeated In hla ambition to represent his state In the senate. On this occasion there were two senators to be chosen, so the adjournment of the legis lature without making a choice left the state without any representation whatever In the senate, Addicks made another uniuccssfu! attempt to secure election in 1903. CoL Dupont, who has Anally been chosen, I* a man of distinguished an.ceatry and of high military achieve ment*. He was graduated from West Point In the year which saw the beginning of the civil war. Ho waa twice brevetted for gallantry on the Aeld and was award ed a medal of honor by congress. He resigned from the army In 1874, and Ave years later became president of the Wilmington and Northen railroad, a position which he still holds. It will be a general reRet to the country that this long conteit la over. Addlcka haa made hlmielf about aa unpopular as possible, and has Incidentally learned that it sometimes requires something besldea money to get Into the United States senate. He may now be al lowed. to “sink to alienee like a tavern brawl." and let poor little Delaware have her Just representation In the senate. “The Jungle” for Our Readers. The Georgian takes peculiar pleasure In announc ing that arrangements have boon made for tho serial publication In these columns of Upton Sinclair's epoch- making novel, "The Jungle," which waa primarily re sponsible for the exposure of the packing house abuses In Chicago. Not within the past quarter of a century has thero been auch deep and widespread IndlgnaUon on the part ot the American people aa haa been aroused over the revelations made by this great and vigorous novel, sub sequently conArmed by the Investigations of Presi dent Roosovelt'a special commissioners. It baa stirred tho civilized world and promises to be the direct means ot bringing about one of the moat Important reforms this country baa ever known. In a vague sort of way It was known all along that the methods of the beef barons were not aa clean and wholesome aa they should have been, but when they were revealed In all their appalling minuteness by Mr. Sinclair, who has devoted years to the study of tho sub- Jeet, the public waa stunned and starUed. The facts on which hla novel waa based have been given to tho public In oAlclal form, and now there la general and Insistent demand for the book Itaelf. Arrangements have been perfected for giving this novel In serin form to our readers, and the publication ot tt will begin at once. The Installment* will run dally until the publication Is completed. Never In the history ot the country haa the book of the hour, a copyrighted novel designed for sale only In book form and not for syndicate publication, been given through a newspaper In aerial form at the very height of Ita popularity, but this The Georgian ha* been able to arrange for and we feel confident that our read ers will be gratlAed to And themselves the benedclaries of this enterprise. "The Jungle” la not merely a problem novel, how ever. While It expose* the corruption of the beef trust method* and the disregard for human life entailed by this system, a charming love story, runs through It and makes It one of the moat readable novel* of the season outside ot Ita value as an exposure of the Packlngtovrn horrors. The presses are running night and day to supply the demand for the work In book form, but In the meantime the readers of The Georgian will not have to wait. It will he brought to their doors In dally Installments, beginning Immediately. The Bookish Theoric. We are told that, reading maketh a full man. so let's all read; Years ago dear old Tommy Moore, we believe It was. Instated that, My only books, were woman's looks. And tolly's all they taught me;" Emily Dickinson, dear, dead recluse, declares, 'There is no frigate like a book, To bear ua leagues away, . . . Nor any courser Uke a page Of prancing poetry;" Well there are poets, and there 1* poetry. 8ome we bear, aome bore us, and aome lay bare great truths; book should be a friend, a counsellor, a companion; good book Is the best ot the man who wrtXe It; His thought and soul held In fond vellum, and we may turn the page and tee. We love a beauteous noble book, and hold him In our heart; The Bible la the beat of hooka; Shakespeare one of the greatest books; Tennyson one of the sweetest books; With these three a fellow can get along fairly well; Go get thee to a bookery. The Shame in Savannah. If the dispatches In the morning papers carry a truth ful account of yesterday's election In Savnnnnh. then wo think the tlmo has come when the decent forces of our Georgia civilization should rise In protest against tho political conditions which make possible such scenes and such methods In an election In the state. The city of Savannah la one of tho most charming and beautiful In the South, the oldest and most aristocratic city of this commonwealth. It has been for more than a hundred years the type of reAnement, of culture, of dig nity, and of social and commercial honor In the South. And yet, upon the sheer drift of factional politics, It has fallen lato methods which are not only disgraceful, but are criminal in their violation both of law and of mor als In the state. , Such an election as that of yesterday, In which money was used not only freely but with the braaen Impudence of the atreets, parading Its political bribes under the very nose of the Insulted law, buying and selling sacred bal lots In the open mart as If they were bananas or red her rings, la enough to make the cheek of every Georgian mantle with the shame of the spectacle. One who stood upon the streets of Savannah during the scenes described In the dispatches of the dally papers, would have found no point of difference between the po litical orgies of this beautiful metropolis of the seaboard and the worst political picture made by any gang of ward heeler* In the purlieus and precincts of New York or Chi cago. No matter how high the spirit of faction may have run in the city of Savannah, no matter how keen the ambitions of candidates and their friends—even If the Is sues had been absolutely vital and not merely personal and factional, there could be no possible excuse for the shameful and disgraceful prostitution of the ballot In the bands of the voters of the city. There lu no combination of circumstance* that could ever Justify auch violation of the law ind such prostitution ot the suffrages which are supposed fo conserve th.- liberty and the prosperity of free men. Of course, the men who drifted Into these orgies of politics did so thoughtlessly and without due considera tion of the magnitude of their offense against the law and the ballot We have no doubt that many men who par ticipated In these shameful scenes of yesterday were men who enjoy and deserve the highest repute for probity and honor In their personal and business affairs. We have no doubt that these men would scorn to do In busi ness or In social life anything that was beneath the high plane of the gentleman and the law-abiding citizen. And yet, they hare drifted easily and naturally, un der a strange and perverted view of political exigencies and political necessities, into a series of crimes against both the ballot and the law, which are calculated to un dermine every principle of morality, and Justice, and po litical honor, and ultimately the foundations of the state and of the republic. We do not hesitate to aay that if Savannah does not Itself promptly react In protest and in reform against the scenes of yesterday, then the state of Georgia, through Its Judicial officers, should take auch cognizance os may be necessary,- and such methods as may be possible to prevent a recurrence of these shameful demoralizations. When a beautiful, cultured city dings Into the very teeth of a lofty and honorable civilization a ballot box drama that shocks and degrades the political morals of the state. It is high time that somebody on the outside should grasp the Iniquity by the throat, if the true and the good men within Ita walla are paralyzed by fear or be smirched by apathy and Indifference. It la surely a timely and a necessary appeal to the next legislature to pass with heartiness nnd enthusiasm the bill ot the Hon. Boykin Wright, of Richmond, or aome measure akin to It, that will atantp the condemnation of Georgia's representative assembly upon methods and practices that are growing to be more and more a stench In the nostrils of decency and the state. (By a Non-Combatant.) Said Clark unto Hoke, "You're a fake and a Joke, I know what you are, With your charity Bar, You’re a sneak and a frog. And a base demagogue. It’s a PopuHst trick, And you need a swift kick.” Said Hoke unto Clark, "Your friend Hamp la a lark. You're a railroad gossoon, And you cling to the coon, You're a swine in disguise, And I'll black both your eyes. Just step out In the park," 8ald Hoke unto Clark. Said both unto each, “You're a bird and a peach, A liar, a thief. And a cannibal chief," And the public stands by, With a wink o’ the eye, And wonders forsooth It they both tell the truth.

In answer to the question need ns s heading to this article, I must say that I think tha South does NOT need tha for eign Immigration she cap got. Assuming the negative, It falls upon me to prove my case. make no apology-for using figures to soma extent, aa they are necessary to tha development of the argument. Let us taka Ueorgla aa the subject of Investigation, It being an absolutely fair oxample. In 1190 my mslarnsl grandfather waa born. In that year Georgia contained 83,• MS People. In MOO I, In the third genera tion, saw In Georgia a population of :,Z18.- 331. or no Increase of, aay 3,400 par cent In 110 years, or three generational Let na analyse the figures a little closer.

Immigration de creasing. From 1880 to MOO the Increase was about 120 per cent, or 24 pti the deende, a normal growth wll migration. _ Now, 1 find that the absolute gain from 1790 to 1880 was 818,837. Let ns assume that one-half of this was Immigration (and It Is a liberal estimate) and we have 400,318 people; but 1 And that, according to the cenans of 1900, there were living in other states 410,000 people who were born In Ueorgla, hence It la easily apparent that Ueorgla haa contributed aa many people tc other sections na she haa received from without her borders. Let ns now Uke an other step. The growth of fifty years, practically without Immigration, was about IS per rent, or a little more than 24 per cent to the decade. Let us assume that 30 per Ueorgla will have 4.500,(W0 people, * tT . In 2000 nearly I come In three . 1790 the density of population per square mile was 1.4. or say 450 acres per capita: in 1900 the density per square mile was 37.8. or say 17 acres pee capita; In 2000, with 14.000,000 people, the density per capita ‘ ■ bout 2B per squats mile, or aay who In the past have cast but merely to state what I believe to be true under present conditions. who Is raising the clamor? Isct us consider from whence comes all thla clamor for Immigrants. It Is unquestionably true that the grcn steamship Hues hare promoted tho uiovi ment from Kurope by every means In fbel power for the sake of the money paid for transportation, nor do they care anything about quality. A "fare la a fare." These concerns wilt beyond question maintain their foreign agencies nnd do all they can to keep up the steady inflow of people.

We common folks appreciate your Interest in our welfare, and rec ognise that The Georgian la the only paper published In Atlanta that han the courage to champion the cause of the people, and dare to differ from the politicians who are trying to run things In their own Interest and in the Interest of trusts and comlnea. You have the courage to give a man the right to exercise hla own Judgment without calling him a Jackass or darn ing him because he has the courage to stand by hi* principles. Long may you live and prosper, and I hope your Investment will not be long before you and all connected with the enterprise will be Independent financially. Your well wisher, G. A. JACKSON.

The Unlvsrsallst, the Unitarian and the general coterie of doubters of God's word have been aroused and much mire and dirt have been stirred up In the gosfiel pond In Georgia. Well, the preaching of the truth will stir peo ple and the devil, too, and but little harm will accrue to the gospel cause where the truth It boldly set forth. Thla whole doctrine of hell revolve* upon the axle of faith In the word* of the Son of God. Do the people believe what Jeaua aald?

Back of tho evangelist Is Jesus Christ and the Bible, and he hns said nothing that should have drawn the Are of the unbelievers to himself. Dr. Torrey has been a plain teacher of the words of Jesus. It Is not what the earnest preacher has said, but It Is what Jesus has said, for the preacher has simply reiterated the words of the Son of God. Let the whole coterie of unbe lievers take their eyes off of Dr. Tor rey and focus them upon Christ. Let the mighty (?) guns they are shooting be turned upon dhe Son of Ood. He Is the one who said It. These unbelievers In their rage are tearing down the word of Ood; they are digging out the foundations of the Bcrlptures. Jesus Christ and the Bible ore responsible for the doctrine of hell and not Dr. Torrey. Those who fight should not be as one who beats the air. It Is a question of belief nr disbelief of the Bible. The Book says there Is a heaven. Everybody believes there Is except the blind Atheist. The Book says there Is a hell. Jeaus Christ aaya there la. Thousands say they do not believe there le a hell. Thousands have written volumes against the doc trine, but there It stands Imbedded 'In the very organic etructure of Chris tianity. Mrn may say there Is no hell of torment, but the assertion doea not affect the fact. If there Is any fact In the Word of God hell Is one of them It Is not * pleasant fact, but It Is a fact. Now. Mr. Editor, If there Is no hell, there Is qo heaven. You cannot blot out one without with the same fell swoop blot out the other. A man who does not bellevs there le a hell does not believe the Word of God. The destruction of the doctrine of hell de stroys heaven, destroys the Bible, doe* •way with God and land* ua In utter anarchistic Atheism. .. „ W. O. BUTLER.
