Mr. Jerome on “Public Opinion.” The add ret e ot District Attorney Jerome at Warm Springi on the subject of “Public Opinion" will be read with keen Interest and unqualified approval throughout the country. It waa the mature expression of a man who has bad abundant opportunity to familiarise himself with the 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 ot public opinion, but 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 wil ful perversion of facts on the part of newspapers and other vehicles of Information were largely responsible. Mr. Jerome dwelt with special emphasis on the fact that it was to the news features of a newspaper that the reader 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 may not be true. We are disposed to think that the influence of editorial opin ion Is now, as It has 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 ot 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 Is placed In its opinions, the attention paid to Its advico 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 Insufficient 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 ot wisdom and common sense, when In point of fact the men who are qualified by superior Intelligence and by diligent study, combined with true patriotism, should take the part of leaders. They should join forces with the other agents ot enlightenment and guide pub lic opinion In tbe paths ot 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—and 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 Bet one's face against public opinion and undertake the more or less thankless task ot saving people who “don’t-want to be saved,” but It Is the part of high dtltenshlp and true patriotism, and the reward ot such men and such newspapers will be great. Mr. Jerome Is himself a conspicuous example ot the men who In a temporal and economic sense “point to bet ter worlds and lead the way.” He stands out as a man ot undoubted honesty and undisputed courage. On more than one occasion be has put Into execution the homely advice ot Davy Crockett, and being sure he was right, has gone ahead, content to watt for public opinion to catch up. In large meaaure Mr. Jerome Is the embodiment of tbe 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 the waring of tbe baton before the overture. A week later they met In a more formal conference, which Lemuel Ell Qulgg attended, and It Is be 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 Slost Fossctt, 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 that he will In fact succeed himself If he wants to, and that this will certainly be done provided the antl-HIgglns faction succeeds In controlling the state convention. This "provided” Is a very Important feature, howev- It Is far from certain that tbe 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 the situation. Governor Higgins himself Is scheduled to call 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 pathetic In the recrudescence of Platt He has sunk lower In public esteem daring tbe past two years than any one ever thought he would during bis life time. His neglect of hts duties In the senate, his. selfish ness and peanut politics have all disgusted the people who at one time stood In awe ot him because of bis 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 now we find him supplicating for peace at any price, and hts enemtos yielding a reluctant acquiescence. The wholij affair la but a ripple on the surface and no one seems to take it seriously. The Platt-Odell 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 tact that the veteran senior senator was never In his seat In the, upper bouse—he comes again Into the limelight by negotiating a treaty of peace with State Chairman Benjamin B. Odell and seta the politicians of the Empire State to speculating on the developments of the Immediate fu ture. There has been bitter enmity between 8enator Platt and 6tate Chairman Odell for several years. The easy boss ( of other days made a determined effort to oust Odell from the chairmanship and place one of hts own friends In tbe office. ' It was pointed out as singularly out of taste—to put it mildly—for the governor ot a state, as Mr. Odell was then, to be at the same time the chairman ot 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 waa unable to control the machine which he had come to look upon as hts 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 tbe 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 ot the senior senator lent color to the Impression that the days of bis 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 tbe agreement was 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 sincere)! mourned by his host ot friends In AUsnta. He was tpan ot ability and of charming personality. He occupied position which called for tact, diligence t and Integrity, and these he displayed In a signal degree. Prom the reproaches which have been from time 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 his 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 times and places. His loy alty to his friends was proverbial and hts consideration ot those who came before him In his official capacity Illustrated tbe wisdom with which Justice can be temper ed with mercy. The circumstances of his death are particularly touching. So recently he was with ns In the full enjoy ment of life and health; so recently he was In his accus tomed place, discharging the duties from which he was at the time ot his death taking the first vacation he had claimed since his Incumbency; so sudden and so pecu liarly trnpdfc was his end, that the blow falls heavily upon his family and Iriends. It may bo that the Jealous waters of the deep where in he Ilea will never yield his body to the tender cus tody ot his loving friends; It may be his melancholy fate to rest forever where tbe drifting sea-weed Is the meegor garland ot his grave. But ho 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 best and loved him most 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 tbe American sisterhood, and yet It Is already worrying about a nickname. As a usual - thing these terms of endearment are the product ot 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 baa 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 enterpflsing cltlsen has started the contest In the news papers and It Is taking like wild fire. The more rlous work of organlxa.lon has almost been lost sight of In the fever and fervor of the fight Thousands ot 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 ot giving nicknames to the states Is al most as old as the republic. We hare the Empire State, both North and South, the Nutmeg State, the Hooeter State, the Hawkeys State, the Wolverine, the Gopher and the Tadpole State. We have tbe Tar Heel, the Buckeye, and the Badger State. A high 'authority on the subject la even Irreverent enough to declare that our own nickname properly Is the Bussard state. So It was a foregone conclusion that Oklahoma should hare a nickname and some of the suggestions are enough to opread a smile orer the face ot tbe uni verse. One man wants to call It the “Forty-Six Shooter,” cov.biting a wild and wooly memory with the fact that It Is tbe forty-sixth slate In the union. The majority of voters thus far seem to favor the “Boomer State,” while the "Banner Btate” follows as a dose second. The Prohibitionists want to call It the “Coldwater State," but cold water Itself Is being thrown on the suggestion. The "Big Gun State" has found a certain amount of fa vor In compliment to Speaker Cannon, while tbe “Rasor- back State" Is declared by a large number ot 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 bow the country for many years was rent gud torn over the discussion as to the national flower. Tho 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 tMs was the leading 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 theraselres hare 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 tbe little by-play going on out In the newest state In the sisterhood as to what she will call herself In tbe privacy of confidential conversation. The whole country unites In calling her great. SOUTH’S GROWTH AND PROGRESS BULLETINS ON MANUFACTURES. 21* cot too mills In tbe state in 1>j6. as comparpd with 177 In 19w.

J EHUS was a man of prayer. Boms one has computed 21 recorded Instances. Of course there were many more. When mention Is made of Ills praying, it is not recorded as an exceptional thing, but as Hi. habit. (Sometimes He took HIs disciples with Him, and again He went alone. We may suppose HIs prayers were very similar to those of every Christian, with the exception that He never prayed for pardon, as “He was without sin." We are to Infer from the request of the disciples on this occasion that John had taught his disciples to pray, and they wished Him to do the same for them, and so He gave them what la commonly called the Lord’s prayer. No prayer has ever been formulated that Is more comprehensive, or that has been oftener repeated by human Ups. It has been Incorporated in the creed, confession or liturgy of every church. It Is one of the first prayers that the children are taught to Usp at their mother’s knee, and one that the aged find pleasure in repeating. Dr. Ellphalet Nott, president of Union Oollege 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 the platform, and then repeated this prayer, and followed It with “Now I lay me down to sleep." When ha concluded, there was hardly p. dry eye In the vast congregation. It Is 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 tbs 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 ourselves to do all we can for that end: when we aay "Thy will be done," we reach the point of submission and consecration expressed by Christ In Qethsemane; when we can sincerely pray "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,” we have attained the spirit manifested by Christ, on the cross. Some years ago Francis Ridley Havergal wrote a poem on the Lord's prayer, which was published by an English magaslne, 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,. Ws lean 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 Mlgbty defender, hovf blessed to know. o “HALLOWED BE THY NAME." UR FATHER, Thy promise we earnestly claim. The sanctified heart that shall haljow Thy name. In ourselves. In our dear ones, throughout the wide world, Be Thine as a banner of glory unfurled: Let If triumph o'er evil and darkness and guilt, We know Tbou can'st do It, we know that Tbou wilt “THY KINGDOM COME." O UR FATHER, we long for the glorious day When all shall adore Thee and all shall obey. O, hasten Tby kingdom, ob, show forth Thy might And wavb o’er the nations Thy scepter of right Oh, make up Thy Jewels, the crown ot Thy love. And reign In our hearts as o Tbou relgnest above. "THY WILL BE DONE." UR FATHER, we pray that Thy will be done, For full acquiescence Is Heaven begun. Both In us, and by us Thy purpose be wrought And Thou can'st enable us thus Wltb holy rejoicing Tby glorious wilt ^OUR DAILY BREAD." O UR FATHER, Thou carest: Thou knowest Indeed Our Inmost desires, our manifold need; The fount of 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 DEBT8." O UR FATHER, forgive us, for we have transgressed, Have wounded Thy love, and forsaken Thy breast; In tbe peace of Thy pardon, henceforth let us live. That through Thy forgiveness, we, too. may forgive. The Bon 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 m 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: Thy children shall under Thy ahadow abide; In Thee as our Guide and our Shield we confide.’ "DELIVER US FROM EVIL." O UR FATHER, deliver Thy children from sin. From svll without, and evil within. From this world wltb Its manifold svll and wrong, From the wilds of the evil one, subtle and strong, Till as Christ overcame, we, too, conquer and sing All glory to Thee, our victorious King. o "FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM.” UR FATHER. Thy children rejoice In Thy reign. Rejoice In Thy highness, and praise Thee again: Tea, Thine Is the kingdom, and Thine la the might. And Thine Is the glory tranecendently bright. Forever and ever that glory shall shine. Forever and ever that kingdom be Thine. That the disciples might be encouraged to pray Christ gives them the parable of the friend at mld-nlght. Dr. French says: "There is the same argument as In the parable of the unjust Judge, one from the less to tbs greater, or more accurately from the worse to the better—but with this difference, that here the narrow-heartedness and selfishness of man la set agslnst the liberality of God, while there It Is his unrighteousness which Is tacitly contrasted with the righteousness of Ood. 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 shall the bountlfol Lord betsow and the righteous Lord do Justice." 1V« are not to suppose that God Is reluctant to give, that our persistence can overcome HIs unwillingness, or that It is any trouble for Him to give. Only the one thought Is to be emphasised. Christ follows the parable with an Illustration from the home life, the father’s willingness to grant tbe requests of his children, and then adds that Ood lis still more willing to give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him. He Is more willing to give then we are to receive. To receive, three things are requisite. We must ask, seek and knock. Our receiving will be commensurate wltb our faith. We must ask In HIs name. Ood will honor every draf» at the Bank of Heaven that Is counter, signed by Jesus Christ. None baa ever yet been protested.

To the Editor of The Georgian: Aa you have very kindly allowed some of our Populists brothers on all sides of tha gubernatorial contest to ex press thetr views through the medium of your most excellent paper, aa well aa the opinions of "our friends, the en emy,” will you please extend the same courtesy to your friend, the subscriber, to state some facts and ask some ques tiong? Thirty years ago, after having suf fered from the disastrous effects of three financial panics, L with seventeen others, organised the Greenback party of Georgia. It was the People’s Party of that day. The party grew, giving promise ot Immediate reform, till In 1171 we had thirteen straight Greenbacksra In con gress, breaking Into the Republican tarty ranks In Maine, Indiana, mmols, owa, ate. and Into Democrat party ranka In Texas, Alabama, North Caro lina and Mlaaouri, and the Democrat! becoming frightened, In their atate ilatforma out-greenbacked the Green- tackera—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 the straight Qreenbackers, could have or ganized the house and legislated finan cial relief for the people. The Green- backers offered to support any Green back Democrat the party might offer for speaker ot the house, but, regard less of their promises, the Greenback Democrats went Into the Belmont caucus and helped to elect Sam Ran dall, a htgh-tariff-hard-money Repub llcan Democrat, thus opening the way for Grover Cleveland to give us an other term In the school of adversity, teaching us the blessings thereof through his financial object lesson. Thus were the Greenbackera betrayed by a kiss and their organisation ceased to -exist, and power was confirmed and bestowed upon one, two or three bil lionaires of Europe and America, to pre cipitate a financial panic whenevr they see their own Interest In doing ao. And whenevr this thing occurs a hundred thousand ambitious young men throughout our land, who ’ have In vested their sweat browed earnings In a partly paid for home, will see that home swept Into the greedy maws ot the beneficiaries of our bond-based, Britsh-fundlng system. The methods employed by ths lead ers of the Democrat—not Demooratic— party to egteh Greenback suckers Is now being operated for Populist suck ers; unfortunatsly many are taking the hook. Now, I want to ask some questions, and, as for the past twelve years we have regarded him as our peerless lead er, I want to ask those questions ot Mr. Thomas B. Watson. In view of the foregoing facts and other near home 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 ua to keep, and align himself with a party whose moat prominent representative In state poll- ;lcs, a candidate for governor, soya la controlled by as corrupt an organ' tlon as the devil could desire, the na tional organisation being headed by Tom Taggart, tbe proprietor of one ot the most disreputable gambling dives In the world—a den where women and children are encouraged to -cultivate vicious habits? Is a party so organised —depending upon and hopeless of na tional success without the atd of Tam many Hall—worthy the support of a true Populist? Is a party whose head told us Southern Populists to go back to the nigger where we belonged worthy of our respect? Is a candidate for governor of the state of Georgia who Insulted every Populist of Georgia by charging-that we slept on tha floor ot the capitol with nigger, delegates wor thy of our support? Is a candidate who so unfairly and outrageously misrepresented the pro ceedings ot our convention, one ot tha largest and most representative that ever assembled In the state, that a resolution of condemnation was unan imously passed, now worthy of our support? We remember how feelingly and pa thetically the chairman of our conven tion told us of the negro woman what on har death bed, sent SO cents to aid 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 has been misapplied. Now, honestly, Mr. Watson, do you advtsa, remembering your position be fore tbe convention of 1M4, and your opera house speech, the Populists ot Georgia to desert their party on the strength of one man of the Democratic party saying he Is In favor of negro disfranchisement, knowing at the same time that he, even aa governor, would be no more able to do It than you or IT Very reapectfuly, c.
