THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE A min msy well bring a hone to tbs witer. But he cannot mike him drink without he will. —Heywood. Mr. Jerome on “Public. Opinion.” The iddrees of District Attorney Jerome at Warm Springs on the lubjeet of "Public Opinion” will be read with koen Interest and unqualified approval throughout the country. It was the mature expression of a man who his had abundant opportunity to familiarise himself with tho subject on which he spoke and It was evident that he had considered the matter to some purpose. Mr. Jerome, In substance, recognised the power of public opinion, bnt deplored the fact that It was too fre quently formulated on Insufficient data, for which hasty reading on the part of the people themselves and the wll fill perversion oh facts on the part of newspapers and other vehicles of Information were largely responsible. MK Jerome dwelt with special emphasis on the fact that It was to the news features of a newspaper that the render of the present day looked for light and guldanco, and he expressed the opinion that the power of the edi torial, the "advocate,” so to speak, was less than It had been in former years. This may or msy not be true. We aro disposed to think that the Influence of editorial opin ion Is now, as !t>.as ever been, In direct accordance with the character which the Individual newspaper establishes for Itself. True, It has no human attributes—It has no tone of voice or peculiarity of gesture—and yet In course of time It acquires a character as distinct as any Indi vidual. Its habits of thought. Its reputation for honesty and fairness and Intelligence become as well established In the public mind as do the same characteristics of any public Individual. And the Influence It exerts, the cre dence which la placed In Its opinions, the attention paid to Its advice Is In proportion to the respect It enjoys for employing these characteristics wisely and well. But this Is merely In passing. Mr. Jerome deplores the hasty Judgments, founded on Insuflielont Information, entertained by that vast body of people whose convictions make up what Is known as public opinion, regardless of the facts In the case, re gardless of wisdom and common sense, whan In point of fact tho men who are qualified by superior Intelligence and by diligent study, combined with true patriotism, ahould take the part of leaders. They should Join forces with the other agents of enlightenment and guide pub lic opinion la the paths of prudence and sound Judg ment, and In the case of statutory enactments, for In- stance, leave It to the beneficial operation of those laws to vindicate their Independence and honesty of purpose. No two of these factors In.the enlightenment of pub lic opinion could be more powerful and Important than the newspapers and the' men to whom Mr, Jerome’s re marks were directly addressed—the lawyers—end he en lists the support of all right thinking people when he pleads that these agents should be more honest and more Independent In their campaigns of education. It Is not always easy to .set one's face against public opinion and undertake the more or less thankless task of saving people who “don't want to be saved,” but It Is tho part of high Citizenship and true patriotism, and the reward of such men and such newspapers will be great. Mr. Jerome Is himself a conspicuous example of the men who.In a temporal and economic sense "point to bet ter worlds and lead the way.” He stands out as a man of undoubted honesty and undisputed conrage. On more than one occasion be has put Into execution the homely advice of Davy Crockett, and being sure he was right, hss gone ahead, content to wait for public opinion to catch up. In large measure Mr. Jerome Is the embodiment of the advice he gives, and his success Is a Justification of the course he has pursued. to Mr. Odell. They first met In an Informal conference about two weeks ago. In which the things discussed were purely personal. It was but tho waving of the baton before the overture. , A week later they met In a more formal conference, which Lemuel EH Qulgg attended, and It Is ho who now gives out the true story of what happened there. He says that Mr. Odell called on Mr. Platt at the special request of the latter, as he had done In the first Instance, and that there was absolutely no agreement as to the retirement of Mr. Odell. As a further Indication of the harmony which prevailed In this new alliance It Is said that George W. Dunn, whom Odell had prevented from becoming chairman of the executive committee, and Bloat Fasiett, who wanted the place, were both Induced to bury the hatchet and Join In the love feast. So far from Odell's retiring from the chairmanship It Is given out tbst he will In fact succeed himself If he wants to, and that this will certainly bd done provided the antl-HIgglns faction succeeds In controlling the state convention. This "provided" Is a very Important feature, bower- | It Is far from certain that the antl-HIgglns element will control the next convention. In fact, it Is very evi dent that the Higgins faction Is very much In control of tbs situation. Governor Higgins himself Is scheduled to coll on the president within the next few days or hours and the administration indorsement will probably be made more emphatic than ever. Odell, is .still comparatively young and active and the whirligig of time may yet restore him to power, but there Is something patbetlo In the recrudescence of Platt He has sunk lower In public esteem during the past two years than any one ever thought he would during his life time. His neglect of hts duties In the senate, his selfish ness and peanut politics bavo all disgusted the people who at one time stood In awe of him because of his power. But the Jackal has been robbed of his teeth. The easy boss of other days now makes himself a motley to the view. Time was when he would have made no overture to Odell or anyone else, but sow we find him supplicating for peace at any price, and his enemies yielding a reluctant acquiescence. | The whole affair Is but a ripple on the surface and no one seems to take It seriously. The Platt-Odcll Treaty of Peace. Just when the public had begun to forget all about "Boss” Platt—when the adjournment of congress had drawn public attention from the fact that the veteran senior senator was never In hla seat In the upper house—he comes again Into the limelight by negotiating a treaty of peace with State Chairman Benjamin B. Odell and sets the politicians of the Empire State to speculating on the developments of the Immediate tu- ture. There has been bitter enmity between Senator Platt and State Chairman Odelf for several years. The easy boss of other days made a determined effort to oust Odell from the chairmanship and place one of his own friends In the office. It was pointed oet as slngulsrly out of taste—to put It mildly—for the governor of a state, as Mr. Odell was then, to he at the same time the chairman of the state executive Committee. But Odell practically told all his critics to go to the bow-wows, and he continued to dis charge the functions of both offices. Senator Platt was unable to control the machine which he bad come to look upon as his very own, and there was a great deal of talk about "more men adoring the sun rising than the sun setting.” But the control of the machine never passed entirely, to Odell. The predictions that President Roosevelt was going to espouse his cause as against Platt were not fulfilled and the opinion gradually gathered strength that both Platt and Odell were practically dead cocks In the pit. • They have attracted very little attention of late and no one seemed to take them seriously. The growing age of the senior senator lent color to the Impression that the days of his bad eminence were numbered. This latter Impression has not been eradicated by any means, but In the meantime the warring leaders have perfected a defensive and offensive alliance which Is somewhat Interesting. For awhile It was given out that the basis of the agreement waa that Mr. Odell would re tire from the chairmanship of the Republican party of the state, but this Is now emphatically denied. It Is stated, furthermore, that Mr. Platt made the overtures Judge Ormond’s Tragic Fate. The death of Judge Walter Ormond Is sincerely mourned by his host of friends In Atlanta. He was man of ability and of charming personality. He occupied position which called for tact, diligence and integrity, and these he displayed In a signal dogree. From the reproaches which have been from tlmo to time heaped upon courts of the class over which he presided he him self was uniformly exempt, and the excellence with which he discharged the duties of hts office elicited the warmest commendation. He waa genial, attractive and magnetic In his social life. His never falling good humor, radiating from the very Joy of living, and his love for his fellow man, made him a welcome guest at all tlmos and placea His loy alty to his friends was proverbial and his consideration of those who came before him In his official capacity Illustrated the wisdom with which Justice can be temper ed with mercy. The circumstances of his death are particularly touehlng. So recently he was with us In the full enjoy ment of life and health; so recently he was In bis accus tomed place, discharging the duties from which he waa at the time of his death taking the -first vacation he had claimed since his Incumbency; so sudden and so pecu liarly tragic was his end, that the blow falls heavily upon his family and friends. It may bo that the Jealous waters of tho deep where- In he Ilea will never yield his body to the tender cus tody of his loving friends; It may be his melancholy fate to rest forever where the drifUng sea-weed Is the meager garland of hts grave. But he cannot rest so deep that the plummet of a thousand faithful hearts will not reach him and restore him In sacred memory to those who knew him beat and loved him moBt. A Nickname for Oklahoma. This thing of coming Into statehood has its trials. That Infant commonwealth formed by the Indian Territory and Oklahoma has not even secured Its place definitely and finally In the American sisterhood, and yet It Is already worrying about a nickname. As a usual thing these terms of endearment are the product of a gradual evolution or some spontaneous circumstance which affords the fitting word. But Okla homa Is Impatient to have all the auxiliaries of a full- fledged state, so she wants a nickname even before she gets a new governor or erects an adequate capitol build ing. She has gone about It deliberately. Lest some for tuitous event should fix upon her a name not to her liking she Is holding a voting contest At least some enterprising cttlxon has started the contest In the news papers and It Is taking like wild lire. The more se rious work of organize,ton has almost been lost sight of In the fever and fervor of the fight Thousands of bal lots are being ca.i through the newspapers every day, and the matter seems to be no nearer a settlement than at the beginning. This thing of giving nicknames to the states Is al most as old as the republic. We have the Empire 8tate, both North and South, the Nutmeg State, the Hooster State, the Hawkeys State.‘the Wolverine, the Oopher and the Tadpole State. We have the Tar Heel, the Buckeye, and the Badger State. A high authority on the subject Is even Irreverent enough to declare that our own nickname properly Is the Buzzard state. So It was a foregone conclusion that Oklahoma should have a nickname and some of the suggestions are enough to spread a smile over the face of the uni verse. One man wants to call It the "Forty-8lx Shooter,” co.J.blr.ing a wild and wooly memory with the fact that It Is the forty-sixth state in the union. The majority of voters thus far seem to favor the "Boomer State,” while the “Banner State" follows as a dose second. The Prohibitionists want to call It the “Coldwater State,” bnt cold water Itself Is being thrown on the suggestion. The “Big Gun 8tate” has found a certain amount of fa vor In compliment to Speaker Cannon, while the "Razor- back State" Is declared by a large number of people to be the winner. These are but a few of the thirty-seven names which have thus far figured In the-contest. We all remember how the country for many years wss rent and torn over the discussion as to the national flower. The Daugh ters of the Revolution and other patriotic societies kept the issue before the people for a long time. State con ventions were held In which this was the lesding topic of discussion. We have a vague Impression that the golden-rod finally found some sort of official recognition, but it Is certain that the people themselves have never accepted It very fully and we cannot be said to have a national flower, any more than we have a national an them. which Is universally accepted as such. At the same time no one will seriously object to the little by-play going on out In the newest state In the sisterhood as to what she will call herself In the privacy of confidential conversation.

Iron and steel msnufacture SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON { £ JESUS TEACHING HOWTO PRAY ^ Golden Text: “S Lord teach us to pray—Luko xl, 1. E8UB was a man of prayer. Some one has computed it recorded Instances. Of course there were many more. When mention Is made of His praying. It is not recorded as an exceptional thing, but as His habit Sometimes He took His disciples with Him, and again He went alone. We may suppose Hie prayers were very similar to those of every Christian, with the exception that He never prayed for pardon, as "Ha was without sin." We are to Infer from the request of the disciples on tbls occasion that John had taught his disciples to prqir, and they wished Him to do the same for them, and so He gave them what Is commonly called the Lord’s prayer. No prayer has ever been formulated that Is more comprehensive, or that has been oftener repeated by human lips. It has been Incorporated In the creed, confession or liturgy of ovary church. It Is one of the first prayers that the children are taught to lisp at their mother's knee, and one that the aged find pleasure In repeating. Dr. Ellphalet Nott, president of Union College for fifty years, when he was a very old man, after he had retired from the presidency, was called upon to make a prayer at commencement He came trembling to the front of tho plntform, and then repeated thle prayer, and followed It with "Now I lay mo down to sleep,” When he concluded, there was hardly a dry eye In the vast congregation. It Ik a prayer that Is appropriate for any occasion. There are some who never use any other prayer, and believe that none other should be used. We are not warranted In this supposition. It was given as a sample or modeL To use It consistently the highest type of Chris tian character Is requisite. When we say “Our Father,” we recognise the brotherhood of man; when we pray “Thy kingdom come,” we pledge ouraelvea to do all wo can for that end: when we eay "Thy will be done,” we reach the point of submission and consecration expressed by Christ In Gotheemane; when we can sincerely pray "Forgive us our debts aa we forgive our debtors,” we have attained the spirit manifested by Christ, on the cross. Some yenrs ago Francis Ridley Havergal wroto a poem on the Lord's prayer, which waa published by an English magazine, and as It has never been printed among her published poems, and many persons who read this lesson will want It for their scrap books. It is given as follows: "OUR FATHER." O UR FATHER, our Father, who dwellest In light. Wo loan on Thy love, and we rest on Thy might: In weakness and weariness Joy shall abound, For strength everlasting In Thee shall be found. Our Refuge, our Helper, In conflict and woe. Our Mighty defender, how blessed to know. o "HALLOWED BE THY NAME." UR FATHER, Tby promise we earnestly claim. The sanctified heart that shall hallow Thy name, ^ In ourselves. In our dear ones, throughout the wide world, Be Thine ns a banner of glory unfurled; Let It triumph o'er evil and darkness and guilt. Wo know Thou con’st do It, we know that Thou wilt “THY KINGDOM COME." O UR FATHER, wo long for the glorious day When all shall adore Thee and all shall obey. O, hasten Thy kingdom, oh. show forth Thy might. And wave o'er the nations Thy scepter of right. Oh, make up Thy Jewels, the crown of'Thy love. And reign In our hearts as Thou relgneat above. "THY WILL BE DONE; O UR FATHER, we pray that Thy will be done, For full acquiescence Is Heaven begun. Both In us, and by us Thy purposs be wrought. In word and In action. In spirit and thought. And Thou enn'st enable us thus to fulfill With holy rejoicing Thy glorious will. “OUR DAILY BREAD." O UR FATHER, Thou careat: Thou knowest Indeed Our Inmost desires,'our manifold need: The fount or Thy mercies shall never be dry, For Thy riches In glory shall meet the supply; Our bread shall be given, Our water be sure, And nothing shall fall, for Thy word shall endure. "FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS." O UR FATHER, forgive us, for we have transgressed, Havo wounded Thy love, and forsaken Thy breast; In the peace of Thy pardon, henceforth let us live. That through Thy forgiveness, we, too, may forgive. The Son of Thy love, who has taught us to pray, For Thy treasures of mercy has opened the way. “LEAD US NOT IN TEMPTATION.* T HOU knowest our dangers. Thou knowest our frame. But a tower of strength Is Thy glorious name; Oh, lead us not In temptation, we pray, But keep us. and let us not stumble or stray: shall nnilar Tin* thiiilmi’ nhMh! Thy children shall under Thy shadow abide; In Thee as our Guide and our Shield we confide. “DELIVER US FROM EVIL.” O UR FATHER, deliver Thy children from iln. From evil without, and evil within. From thle world with Its manifold evil and wrong, From the wilds of the evil one, subtle and strong. Till aa Christ overcame, we, too, conquer and sing All glory to Thee, our victorious King.

To tho Editor of Tho Georgian: As you have very kindly allowed somo of our Populists brothers on all sides of the gubernatorial contest to ex press their views through the medium of your most excellent paper, os well as the opinions of "our friend*, the en emy," will you please extend the same courtesy to your friend, the subscriber, to state some facts and ask some ques tions? Thirty years ago, after having suf fered from the disastrous effects of three financial panics, I, with seventeen others, organized the Greenback party of Georgia. R was the People's Party of that day. Tho party grew, giving promise of Immediate reform, till In 1S7R >ve had thirteen straight Greonbackera In con gress, breaking Into tho Republican ■arty ranks In Maine, Indiana, Illinois, own, etc., and Into Democrat party ranks In Texas, Alabama/North Caro lina and Missouri, and the Democrats becoming frightened, In their state platforms out-grcenbacked the Oreen- i wickers—Just a Herod was out-Herod- ed—and over sixty calling themselves Greenback Democrats, were elected to congress. Georgia furnished one or two of them and one or two were counted out. The Greenback Demo crats, with the assistance of tbe straight Greenbacks™, could have or' gnnlzod the house and legislated finan cial relief for tho people. The Green- backers offered to support any Green back Democrat the party might offer for speaker of the house, but, regard less of their promises, the Greenback Democrats went Into the Belmont caucus and helped to elect Sam Ran dall, a-hlgh-tariff-hard-money Repub lican Democrat, thus opening the way for Grover Cleveland to give us an other term In the school of adversity, teaching us the blessings thereof tbruaffh his financial object lesson. Thus were tho Greenbackers betrayed by a kiss and their organization ceasod to exist, and power was confirmed and bestowed upon one, two . or* three bll llonalres of Europe and America, to pro clpttate a financial panic whenevr they see their own Interest In doing so. And whenevr this thing occurs a hundred thousand ambitious young ■ men throughout our land, who have In vested their sweat browed earnlnga In a partly paid for'horns, will see that home swept Into the greedy maws of the beneficiaries of our bond-based, Britsh-fundlng system. The methods employed by the lead ers of the Democrat—not Democratic- party to catch Greenback suckers Is now being operated for Populist suck ers; unfortunately many are taking the hook. Now, I want to ask some questions, and, ss for the past twelve years ws have regarded him as our peerless lead er, I want to aak these questions of Mr. Thomas E. Watson. In view of the foregoing facts and other near- horns history, I shall present: Can any Intelligent, honest, self-re specting Populist step out from "the middle of the road," In which you have so often begged us to keep, and align himself with a party whose . most prominent representative In stats poll- les, a candidate for governor, says Is controlled by as corrupt an organisa tion as the devil could desire, the na tional organisation being headed by Tom Taggart, ths proprietor of on* of the most disreputable gambling dives In the world—a den where women and children are encouraged Jo cultivate vicious habits? Is a party so organised —depending upon and hopeless of na tional success without the aid of Tam many Hall—worthy ths support of a true Populist? Is a party whose head After prolonged investigation, the astern Ifeat Hit Task can come to Chicago's record of conversions that cost *1,600 apiece Is a paltry J2i each. Investigation by the Salvation Array here with a view to comparing the chy to Chicago and Atlanta, which hare reached their conversion costa revealed the fact today that the Bowery tramp's Is the costliest of all the souls saved in New York by the manifold agency of personal solicitation or written appeal. While the derelicts themselves can have no market rating and can find no oni who will trust them with *11, the Sal. vntlon Army Is willing to spend that amount, on the average, on each per son acceptable to It, and actually does spend It on each convert In the Bow., ery. Twenty-one dollars doesn't represent all that a Bowery conversion costs ths army. Tho great labor of love that In volves tho monetary expenditure can never be reckoned at all. Nor does the financial outgo stop with *11. The convert, man or woman, must be watched by men who are ready to gtvs a helping hand whenever It Is wished.

Last year the master of Wakehurst became so disgusted, politically, that he not only exiled himself, but gave up his cltixenshlp. Nevertheless, he says that unless Wakehurst Is sold by spring he will again occupy It next summer, for, as he laconically puts It, "London Is not Newport In summer." \ Lady Herbert, widow of Sir Michael A.

O “FOR THINE 18 THE KINGDOM." UR FATHER, Thy children rejoice In Thy reign. Rejoice In Thy highness, and praise Thee again: Yea, Thine to the kingdom, and Thins Is ths might. And Thins to the glory transcendent!/ bright. Forever and ever that glory shall shine. Forever and ever that kingdom be Thine. That the disciples might be encouraged to pray Chrtot gives them the parable of the friend at'mld-nlght. Dr. French saye: "There to the same argument os In the parable of tbe unjust Judge, one from the lees to the greater, or more accurately from the woree to the better—but with thle difference, that here the nmrrow-heertednese and eelfishnesa of man to set against the liberality of God, while there It to hla unrighteousness which to tacitly contrasted with the rtghteouenees of God. The conclusion Is that If a selfish man can yet be won by prayer and Importunity to give, an unjust man to do right, how much more certainly ehall the bountiful Lord betaow and the righteoue Lord do Justice." We are not to suppose that God is reluctant to give, that our persistence can overcome Hto unwillingness, or that It Is any trouble for Him to give. Only the one thought le to be emphasised. Christ follows tbe parable with an Illustration from the home life, the father's willingness to grant the requests of hto children, and then adds that God to still more willing to give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him. He to more willing to give than we are to receive. To receive, three things are requisite. We must ask. seek and knock. Our receiving will he commensurate with our faith. We must ask in His name. God will honor every draf* at the Bank of Heaven that is counter signed by Jesus Christ. None has ever yet been protested. told us Southern Populists to go back to the nigger where we belonged w __ worthy of our respect? to a candidate for governor of the state of Georgia who Insulted every Popultot of Georgia by charging that we slept on the floor of the capitol with nigger delegatee wor thy of our support? Is a candidate who so unfairly and outrageously misrepresented the pro ceedings of our convention, one of the largest and most representative that ever assembled in the state, that I resolution of condemnation waa unau lmouely passed, now worthy of our support? ’ we remember how feelingly and pa thetically the chairman of our conven tion told .ue of the negro woman who, on her death bed, sent 60 cents to eld the Populists In their fight against Democratic corruption. We hope that old negro woman's ghost may never re turn to earth to learn that her 60 cents haa been misapplied. * Vaw Vinnsstlv Us Now, honestly, Mr. Watson, do you advise, remembering your position be fore ths convention of 11*4, and your opera house speech, the Populists of rt their party on ths Georgia to desei strength of one man of the Democratic a rty saying he to In favor of negro franchtoement, knowing st ths asms time that he, even as governor, would be no more able to do It than you or I?
