II GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE || “it *eended la Indeed a desirable thing to be well de but the glory belongs to our ancestors.” —Plutarch. Saturday Evening. It ia an established fact that In India, where ele phants are employed for carrying heavy Umbers, and In other work Of construction, these knArlng beasts realise ful wait when the sevcnth day of the week arrives and no forco or persuasion can Induce them to labor on that day. The necessity and desire for rest and recreation at that stated Interval which the Hebrews called the Sab bath have existed ever since the first week after the Almighty's flat brought order out of chaos and established the limitations of the land and sea. So we can do no bet tor at this end of the strenuoua week, which has meant so much in our national and International life, than to dwell for a few moments upon the blessings of rest. There are those, we are willing to concede, who want the Irish job "where, you work ffom twelve till one, with an hour for dinner,” but this Is by no means char acterlsUc of the American people. _ Wo hear continual complaints that the people of the United States live In a fever of unrest which saps their vital energies and desic cates their minds and hearts at a period In life when they should bo In, their prime', and soon—"Our, out brief can dle!'—It Is all over. There arc moralists enough who will preach the vir tue of Industry-and diligence—who will quote for us the copybook maxims of "Palma non sine pulvoro” and "La bor omnia vlnclt,” and a few other platitudes In as many tongues and keys. But It should not be forgotten, at least by those who lmvo the natural disposition to labor and achieve, that there Id a.world.of wisdom Involved In the art of retting, ami ilarhcularly In knowing how to rest. To.rest' is not to rust. Variety and diversion con stitute tho most efficient system of rest of which we have any knowledge, for tho active mind which has nothing else to feed upon must feed upon Itself. We need not bo come "ns.fdle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean” In order to recuperate the flagging faculties. Hut rest we must and should have, whatever may be its nature and -variety. "Give the boys a holiday,” said the dying Anaxagaros, and the true philosopher, over since, has been saying, “Give the boys a holiday.” The changes have been rung upon It In adoiso proverbs and the world has confirmed tho wisdom of them. This Is peculiarly the season of the year when Ihe-ax- linusted mind and body cry aloud for rest and recreation. Tho bracing air of winter sends the blood bounding through the veins and Idleness becomes a burden. But when tho sun rides In tho warmer constellations and tho earth pants with meridian heat, the heart turnd to the woods and fields, to the mountains and the sea, and In voluntarily we sigh for the balm in the Gilead of . rest. Nothing could be more alluring than these soft sum mer days when the laiy clouds are drifting across the azuro skies, like golden argosies laden with Indolent dreams—when the, butterflies float like wfnged flowers among the old-fashioned gardens and even- the morning note of the nervous lark Is a trifle moro faint and-far away than In the earlier spring. Now, Indeed, there are books In the running brooks and we find ourselves "Most too weak tor wlshln' And most too tired to nod.” We think of poor Torn Hood and of his opinion that whoever "early would be stirring surely Is,a spoon”. We think of lotus-eaters upon the banks of the Nile'and of the enchanted country where It "seemed always after noon." • To rest does not necessarily piean a junket to the feverish and fashionable resorts, where the tedious round Is In fact exhausting, paid for, perhaps, at the expense of unpaid obligations left behind. A cool veranda under the trslllslng vines with the Ice and the syphon In easy reach, remind us that "The Persian's heaven Is easy mpde; • TIs but black eyes and lemonade"— And that almost as easily we can provide a miniature paradise of hegven,ly rest. We may well commend the diligence of those- who, putting their hand to the plow, look not back, but when the day or the week or the appropriate season of labor Is ended we may justly claim and conscientiously enjoy the relnvlgoratlng guerdon of rest. An Inspiration to Teachers. One policy, at least. In our educational system for which the editor of The Georgian has stoutly contended for the last two years has triumphed splendidly In the recent sessions of the boards of trustees of our two high est state Institutions. The principle of promotion In educational positions has enlisted our ardent and consistent advocacy from the beginning. The Inspiration to the young teacher In the belief that faithful and efccttve service In the lower ranks entitles him to hope for ultimate promotion and the highest rank. Is the very core and essence of that hon orable ambition which betters the teacher and uplifts the school. The election of David C. Barrow to the chancellor^ ship of the University of Georgia, followed fast by the election of K. O. Malheson to the presidency of the Technological school, both vindicated this principle In the highest and happiest degree. Both of these men have been teachers during their entire active lives. David C. Barrow left the class room at the university to become a tutor In that Institution, and tor nearly thirty diligent, faithful years he. has grown step’by ..step In effectiveness and In noble usefulness to the Institu tion. from whose ranks he has been advanoed by legit! mate and steady promotion to be the honored and bo- Kenneth O. Matheson has been himself a teacher his formal entrance Into the business and active world of work. He has given to hlB profession his time, his energy and his talents in consecrated pleasure, and It Is a noble and Inspiring lesson, to the young teachers of the state to have had him advance from the ranks by steadfast devotion and unquestioned merit,to the bead of the Institution which ho has mightily helped to make the foremost of Its class In the South. The Georgian rejoices In the triumph of principles which It has advocated, but for which It has no right to claim either credit or originality. The principle Is as old as public service,'aUd as old-as government In both the military and the civil life of men. ' We feel sure that these two selections, made by the trustees of these Institutions at this time, will give a dis tinct and noble’impulse to, the^kblrlt and.pride of the Georgia teachers In-thelr great and noble nailing. They have lifted a banner of hope'above - the-young men and the young women who have given their lives and talents to this noblest service of the state. And we are thankful for the action an'd hopeful of the splendid results which are to follow from It through all the teaching ranks. of Instructing by resolution will doubtless There Is a little breeze blowing In New York city whlci. inrows a side light on what might be if municipal ownership openly prevailed.—Chicago Chronicle. Gee! But wouldn't a “breeze" that can "throw a side light" be worth going miles to see! Mr. Fleming and Free Speech. We are not in sympathy with the criticisms which have been made upon tbe Hon. William H. Fleming for the spbech delivered at the University commencement.. We think be had a perfect right to make the speech at the time end place he did. We do not recognize any Impropriety In his choice of a theme, snd his Impersonal treatment of It certainly destroys any possible basis of legitimate criticism' as to the good taste and tact of the performance. The fact that William H. Fleming made the speech Is In itself a guarantee that It wad within tbe ethical boundary of university discussion. There Is no man of higher and clearer e'tblcs in the public life of Georgia. Tbe fact that Walter B. Hill, lamented and honored among Georgians, knew and Indorsed the purpose and theme of the speaker, completes the personal argument as to its full propriety. What Walter Hill and William Fleming In the tranquil deliberation of a non-partisan hour agreed upon as proper, will be likely to stand un- condemned against the protest of eager' advocates and fiery politicians. We are at variance with Mr. Fleming's views as ex pressed at Athens. We are consistently and firmly upon the other side of tbe question. We are heart and soul enlisted in the advocacy of negro disfranchisement as Il lustrated In the approval and successful operation of tho laws In Mississippi, Alabama and the Carolines. We ante date In this advocacy every man now engaged In the dis cussion. We wero fighting fBr.ln the forefront of this battle line when all of these later warrlora were apa thetic or asleep. We oppose Mr. Fleming's conclusions. We protest his flntl argumant, and because we look further and see deeper Into this great question than nny mere constitutional qulbbler, of shallow opportunist of present dny politics, we are hoping and trusting that Georgia voters will be wise enough and great enough to follow their sister commonwealths and to establish In their Sov ereign ballote the legal and eternal supremacy of the Caucasian race while the mighty question Is at Issue In this state. « > nut for nil this we are glad that William H. Fleming expressed his honest sentiments at Athens. The university rostrum Is or ought to be one of the great freo platforms of the state. Whatever Is of Interest to the people of Georgia ought to be discussed with abso lute freedom and frankness there by her distinguished sons to long ae the dlirynslon steers clear of personal al lusions or partisan alignfnent as this discussion ran. The speech cannot Judged by the excerpts carefully col lated by a local and partisan paper. It must be judged In Itt entirety, and upon this basis we are sure it will stand the test of al| propriety. There has been all too little of fair and philosophic discussion of this mighty Issue In this campaign. -Mr. Smith, Indeed, gives It cloar comment and earnest exposition In bis canvass, bat. It Is all too .yadly true that tbe greatest of all our present Issues-la clouded in tho prejudices and passions, of a personal campaign. If ever' the people of Georgia had need for dispassionate argu ment and clear counsel-upon a transcendent thqme It Is In this Issue of the rapes In the South. Because we belleke Mr. Fleming to be able, and becauee we know him to be sincere, we are gla4 that his honest views, which are op posite to our own, found expression upon a great and Im partial platform. jWe are only sorry that some other statesman did not bethink himself to discuss upon the same or another platform the opposite view of the same great question. We Would have given much for the priv ilege of answering that fine argument upon the following day. Wo trust that some advocate of our side may an- swer yet the objections which Mr. Fleming has pro posed. They can bo answered—all of them. But In the name of all fair discussion, do not let us close In this top partisan age the few great platforms on which honest men jpay submit tbelr honest and oppoalng views to the honest judgment of a people whose vital Intereata hang upon their wise and Intelligent, decision at the polls. The longer we live and the more we realise the preju dice and paaalon and demagogy which becloud our public Isauee, the more wo are convinced that the crying need of theso great,times Is platforms of honest thought and speech whereon men may itand, with no candidate to elect, with' no scheme to carry, with no purpose to. sub serve, with no object but the truth, and with no plan but to tear every great question wide open and let the light shine through It May God and our batter eltlsens multiply such men and each platforms In our greater Georgia of today. For Bryan has undoubtedly blown a bugle note across the d<-cp blue sea. General Rufus N. Rhodes, of Tbe Birmingham Eve ning News, tbe dean and the shining ornament of after noon journalism In the South, la a guest of Atlanta to day. ; General Rhodes Is the most vital figure In the journalism of our sister state. He Is perennially young, Indomitably purposeful, exhaust,ess In resources and In resistible In his charm of manner and of speech. Atlanta Is always delighted to welcome him as her honored guest The Crusade for Small Parks. The present range of the thermometer-lends a new stimulus and Interest'to the proposition to purchiu- breathlng spaces" for. the people throughout the city and dedicate them in' perpetuity io-the people. This question has become more and more inter esting as It has been discussed during tbe past few weeks. Many of tho leading ciUzens of Atlanta have been spoken to about the matter and they give their unqualified sup port to tho undertaking They realize that the value of real estate in Atlanta la advancing rapidly and that the city Itself Is growing with tremendous strides. Unless some-of the desirable locations for a park are secured within a short time the price will have advanced to pro hibitive prices and all the available sites w(ll bo built up to such an extent with large and permanent buildings that it will be Impossible to secure the small parks we need for the benefit of the people. , We believe that the creation of a special commission by the legislature, to acquire and preserve these parks, will inspire confidence on the part of the people that these breathing spaces will never be alienated by the dty—which would then be Impossible—and will be an Inducement to public spirited citizens to make donations of land or endowments for park purposes. We have no disposition to criticise the city authori ties, but the following extract from The New York Jour nal of yesterday throws some light upon the fate of park sites which are left under the direct control of the city: "Four solid blocks of vile tenements, acquired by the city for park purposes, are being rented out to the poor of the weqt side In flagrant violation of the law, by tho city authorities, according to charges made public last night by the Cltlxens' Union. "The buildings are located on Ninth and Tenth ave nues and Twenty-seventh' and' Twenty-eighth streets and were purchased as a part of the site for the proposed Chelsea park. The tenement house department permit ted the former owners to run them regardless of the life and health of the poor occupants and since their acquisi tion by the city, the finance department has been doing Just what the previous owners did, rent them for all they would bring. "An Inspection revealed an average of sixteen vio lations of tho tenement law In each structure- It Is In ferred from this condition that a. large portion of the neighboring tenements are also Immune from the law.” It Is only human nature that when necessities arlso and opportunities present themselves for disposing of city property at a good price, this should be done and all projects for preserving park sites are set aside for the time being. i It la not only true In Atlanta; It'Is true, as wo havo soen, .In New York, and It la true in all other cities of the country. The only certain way to prevent this Is to secure tho establishment pf a chartered commission, holding its power and authority directly from the stato,' which shall have theso parkB In Its keeping for all time to come. We trust' that all those who are In favor of the small park system or of any part of the plan outlined, will fill out the blanks published In another column of the paper and send them to the "Park Editor” of Tbe Georgian. Dr. Young J. Allen, who preaches at Trinity church tomorrow, la worthy of a dozen editorials. At this late hour we have not space to give him even one. He Is per haps the most famous of all American missionaries. His life Is a romance of high achievement and of great use fulness, He Is one of the distinctly great Americans of this generation. He Is also a mandarin of the Chinese empire, and those who have not heard him preach would find It a matter of Interest and of profit to bo among his congregation on the-Morrow. A Useless Debate. • There la no logical basis of expectation for much of In terest or any definite result from the Joint debate being held In Rome today. There la really nothing to be accomplished by It, and both parties to the performance will enter Into It with the full conception of Its futility and folly. There will doubtless be a careful distribution of ad mission tickets oetween the friends of either candidate. They will line up on separate sides of the hall In which the speaking ie done. They will each yell like demons for every point or every climax scored by their respec tive candidates; and when It Is all over the mad parti sans of either will waste their breath In proving how well each man sustained himself and bow completely ho demolished tne other. | Thera are few Impartial forces In politics, although The Georgian at thta time le one of them, and It Is’ not likely that any partisan on either side will be converted by today's debate. It there be any fair and balanced Bryan’s Bugle Note. That was a clear, strong note which William J. Bryan sounds from distant Norwdy on the vital question bf tbe trusts. It will do much to clear the atmosphere which has been thick with the rumor of the too great conservatism of the Nebraska statesman. Mr. Bryan la very wise and very timely In tbe ut terance which be has rent to us across the sea. There have been mntterings not a tew over the eagerness of the ultra conservatives and the Democratic allies of the traits In behalf of the people's candidate of two great campaigns,"and It sounds wholesome and cheerful to hear the man whose name Is just now on every Demo- cratls Up speak the assurance that his hope and bla poli cy are not to be wasted upon the vain expectation of regulating and controlling Individual monopoly, bnt that bla brain and his strong right arm are to be consecrated to the work oi their absolute destruction. This sounds clear and definite. It sounds like Hearst and la what the people are waiting to hear. The process men, and there are many snch in Floyd, who go to listen and to learn, there may be votes turned one way or the other by tbe meeting of the candidates. There is only one thing of which we may be perfect ly sure—that The Journal on tomorrow will assert moat po'slttvaly that Hoke Smith has once more wiped Clark Howell from the faco of the political map. and It Is equally certain that The Atlanta Constitution will con fidently proclaim that Clark Howell has. routed Hoke Smith, bag and baggage. In this new encounter. SHAME ON THE YOUNG MEN. To the Editor of The Georgian: My Dear Sir: I read with a great deal of pleasure your editorial today of the standing ladles and the sit- ting gentlemen, If we must call the latter b'y that name' If you will take a trip In any crowded car. especially cars running to the parks on Sundays, and watch the gen tlemen who keep their seats while ladies are standing you will find that 99 per cent of them are young men from 12 to 20 years old. The old gray-halred fellows, no matter how old and feeble, are tbe first ones to get up for .'I lady, ns mmui as on,- outers the far that l-.ns no vacant seats. The younger generation (a great many of them) are devoid of the proper respect for gray' hairs and tbe female sex. Whose fault Is It? Some of It belongs to the mothers and fathers of the present gener ation. “Hit ’em again.” Yours truly, G. M. M’KINNON. Atlanta, June 22, 1906. IN DEFENSE OF MISS WRIGHT. To the Editor of The Georgian: For the first time I noticed this morning the arraign ment of Miss Wright at the Sheltering Arms for whip ping a little child under her care. I have been a con stant visitor at the Sheltering Arms for some time, fre quently nn hour nt a time and several times quite a half day, being Interested In a little boy under Miss Wright's care, ami I want to say in tier behalf that for nobleness of purpose, gentle patience ami motherly devotion and grace I have seldom if ever se.-n her equal. In several Instances I have seen her patience tried beyond reason, but with sweet, gentle forbearance she ruled them with out 1 even a harsh word. In one case the child was unusu ally stubborn and persistent, and I thought needed n "good spanking," and I told her so. With a bright smile she said: "Oh it takes a whole lot of love to go through with It, but he will come to me in a little while for a kiss and bo real sorry." Parents or guardians leaving their children at this institution scarcely realise or appre ciate the favor they are receiving, or the great care and responsibility resting on those In charge. Think of six teen babies to look after and care for. I have seen Miss .Wright under the most trying circumstances. Her assis tant being out for the afternoon, leaving her own baby to Miss Wright's care, and she performed nil the duties of this mother who should have been In in time to put her ohlld to bed and help with the others. But Miss Wright bathed each little baby, giving n loving pat and n goodnight kiss to the little lips raised to receive It. If she were harsh, theso little fellows would soon disclose the fact by their actions. , That the child In question got the bruises on its little body by falling I haven't a doubt, as there ts a stairway leading from the porch where tbe little oneB play and one afternoon I happened to be there, one of the little ones climbed upon the gate placed to bar tho step and keep them from falling. I took him down three times myself while Miss Wright was In the nursery attending to a sick baby and frequently the older children from tho ward Ill-low came up tin- steps leaving the gate unfasten ed. It ts n matter almost Impossible to keep It fastened. Miss Wright is only one woman and cannot be in two or three places nt ono time. I am romparatlvely a stranger In the city and I speak from simple Justice and from my convictions. That Miss Wright's nature Is anything elBe but cruel qb the accusations would Imply. Her position Is certainly one of self-sacrifice for anyone, and few would be able to fill it ns satisfactorily in every, way. Juno 20, 1906. A VISITOR. MR WHATLEY WILL AID MR. STOVALL. To tho Editor of The Georgian: In your editorial commenting on my “Open Letter to thb People of Georgia,” resenting certain, unjust re flections cast against the city of Savannah, growing out’ of -the recent primary . election here, you seem to misun derstand clearly tho motive of my letter. The purpose in view was to show that Savannah was being made tho "scapegoat,” us It were, through which certain defeated soreheads hero sought to vent their spleen by sending 'out exaggerated reports of vote buying and selling. These reports were telegraphed broadcast throughout tho state, and your paper, like many others throughout the state, In the best of good faith, handled what you had been led to believe was one of the most unprece dented ’ of ' outrages. In no mistaken terms. This brought forth my letter, and my sole purpose was to Bet before the people tho plain facts, and let them Judgo for themselves. It was not my purpoBO to do lnjustlco to any ono. I repeat It. and I wish to emphasize it, that thoro was never in tho .history of Savannah,- so far as I have known 1L for the last quarter of a century, a more-orderly election. Everybody was calm and-quiet to a degree. I was about .the. polls the most of. tbe en- L tire day, and 1 never saw a ballot bought or sold. It was simply an uprising of tho people—a quiet and blood less ono. too—the laboring man standing side by side with his so-called "kid glove" neighbor, In a united determination to "put ont that gang." In an election of this kind money plays a very small part, and this Is the general opinion of every good citizen In this city today except the defeated Cltlxens Club. It you. could havo seen the ten thousand jubilant men. women and children assembled in the Park Extension last night to celebrate this great victory, you would have boen fully satisfied, without any argument from my pen, that It was the free and uncontnmlnatcd will of the people, whose vote was cast without money and -without price, that carried this election to such a glorious consummation. Everybody In Savannah and throughout this great state who knows me, knows that I have always stood for a free and un sullied ballot, and as suggested In your editorial, I am ready to stand side by side with Mr. Stovall and every food man In Georgia to carry to a sure consummation a Inw that will give us a pure ballot, the sale or purchase of which shall be punished os a felony. . 0. B. WHATLEY. Savannah, Ga., June 22, 1906. | Cholly | Knickerbocker \ Gossips About People. By Private Leased Wire. New York, June 23.—The Waldorf- Astoria Is getting to be a strenuous place these warm summer days. There was a great scatteratlon last night in the big hostelry when those twp d!». ting'ulshed exponents of wild western life as it was a score of years ago Colonel iJat Mastersun, once sheriff Fort Dodge, and Colonel Dick PlunkltL former stmrlff of Tombstone, came to. gether. Everybody expected that guns would be busy and blood would flow In rtvu. - lets, at least, but so far as known not a drop of the ruby Is missing. Plun- kltt was seated at a table with an- other man, who Is said to be a Texas editor named Dlnklespeels. According to reports, Plunkltt had been expressing doubts about Master- son's killing proclivities when Master- son arrived on the ecene. Masterson Is alleged to have remarked to the colonel that he had thought he wa. a friend, but after the line of talk he had heard Plunkltt was giving, he wanted to give Plunkltt n wide berth. The story goes that warm words were ex changed, nnd that the Texas editor butted In. aiming a blow at Masterson but only knocking the glasses from' i the table. . Masterson, It Is asserted, stepped back, shot his fist out and-the Texas editor xvent to the floor. Then Master- son stepped over the overturned table nnd pressed agnlnst Plunkltt. He was watching the right hand of Plunkltt, and some say they saw Maaterson’s hand go to his coat pocket. Somebody yelled nt this point that Masterson was nbout to pull his cannon, and with vis ions of bullets flying through the air, there waa a mad scramble to reach the outside. Joseph Smith, house detective, who Is not familiar with western ways, went to Masterson and Induced him to leave quietly. Plunkltt, it Is asserted, had felt something hard In Maaterson's pocket pressing against him, and re mained quiet. In the exodus oven the palm room had been deserted, and’men left their hats behind. When quiet was restored, the Texas editor revived and began to talk loud, but he was quickly quieted and placed In a cab. Masterson nvolded Interviewers after the affair, and an effort to find him this morn ing was unsuccessful. I regret to learn that Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., Is ill at her home In Newport. Society can ll|-afford to spare Mrs. Vanderbilt at the beginning of a strenuous season. A double veil combination has be come n fad. At the Suburban, the other day. many of the smart set wore two veils, and thick ones, at that. The combination of ribbon and lace veils, or plain and fancy veils, of any kind, makes the wearer's features Indistin guishable except under scrutiny. One man, who 1ms been bowing blmdly all morning to these mysterious visions of hidden beauty, finally said: "By Jove! They muBt see out of those screens better than wo enn see in, for III bo blnmcd if I can place one of them.’ GEORGIANS IN GOTHAM. FOLLOW ME. The Fourth of July United States Is not the only republic In the universe. The William Tell mountaineers of Swltserland have maintained a repub* lie for TOO years. • Away back In the dork ages when the feudal lords ware master* of Eu rope, much of the Swiss mountains belonged to Austria. Man Imbibes strength of character from the God- reaching mountains snd the spirit of liberty, like the American eagle* U al ways calling for Independence. The Swiss peasants were feeling the strength of the eternal hills, were feel ing the divine summons to be /men— Independent men—were warming the Inner fires that centuriee later burned Into sublime courage In the farmer hearts at Lexington, They were a roup ed and were having secret nlMtt meet ings In the clefts and rock caves and they might have sung: Rock of Ages cleft for me. Let me gain my strength from Thee." The feudal lords sold such brag gart upstarts must be stopped and the contemptuous peasants taught a les- ion of cirniic^. But, unafraid, Liberty replied In many cantons, gathering In a public meeting. Oppression tried to scare by sending In one day forty-five declara tions of war from forty-five feudal lords. But liberty scares forward and not backward. Liberty counts not In num bers but In God's right arm. Soon the dreadful Austrian army comes, 5.000 trained, armor-clad knights,, and what band of peasants could stand against them, who hod an able general at their head, long apeara at -each tide and sharp swords In each mailed hand. The Swiss peasants numbered only 110 O, men. not "one trained' to fight and with no armor, spear nor sword. They only had the halbert, a wooden stick about four feet long with Iron spikes like nails In the head. They bravely charged, 'but the long Austrian apeara •topped them, killed many while their short halberts had not reached a sin gle Iron clad knlgbt. They had tp re treat up the mountain or all be killed. The cause of right was hopeless. What shall be doneT • God was calling for a hero. One man heard It, wjio became liberty In carnate, who, Ilka Patrick Henry, said. “Give me liberty or give me death," not In oratory’s ringing words but In the higher grandeur of action. Arnold Welnkfefretd saldf. “Men, take care of wife and children .and follow me." He rushed at the center of the Austrian line. Every spear that could reach him was buried tn his side, and. fall ing. degd, pulled them down. Over his body rushed his comrades, broke the Austrian lines, and, like frenzied gods of courage, they mowod them down tIU hardly an Austrian waa left' to tell the tale of utter defeat, and TOO years of liberty and the .best .government now- under the eun Is the fruit of'one man’s courage. Two thousand years ago the heart less Roman aword ruled the world. But there xvae a poor man.
