Subscription Rites: I One Tesr $4.50 Six Months 2.50 Three Months 1.25 By Csrrler, per week 10c Published Every Afternoon Except Sundsy by THE GEORGIAN CO. ■t 25 XT. Alabsros Street, | Atlanta,* Ga. Entered as aeeimd-ri*M matter April X, ISOS, at the Poet one* at Atlanta. Ga.. under act ot confrere ot March & IPS Saturday Evening. We publish In another column today one of the daintiest gems that has ever fallen from the pen of that gifted child of song. Prank L. Stanton, whose name has gone around the world as a synonym of buoyant optim ism and exquisite fancy. There Is something peculiarly touching In the verses he contributes to a magazine which la essentially, as its name implies, the elbow companion of "the smart set." In the camps of the Adirondacks and the woods of Maine, in the villas of Newport and on the luxurious yachts which sail the summer seas, this little gust of song will be blown with l(s sweet refrain, that all that gold can buy Is vanity and vexation compared with the exaltation when "the woman I love Is mine.” The dwellers In splendid palaces which line the shores or float the seas, sated perhaps with the caviar of luxurious life, will pause In the rich routine to catch this breath of truth and beauty wafted from a soulful Singer of the South who tells them, what human ex perience has been telling them for a thousand years, and men of genius have endeavored to demonstrate from every point of view, that there Is a divine altruism In life, after all, and that all the artificial pleasures that the world can bestow are Insignificant when com pared to the finer sentiments and emotions which spring from the exhaustless well-spring of love. We may call the beadroll of the world of wealth— of the mythical Croesus at whose touth everything turned to gold until he starved In the midst of plenty, of Aplclus, who slew himself In despair when his Income had been reduced to half a million dollars a year and he could no longer Indulge his appetite as he was wont to do In his more splendid days; ot Sardanapalus, whose lux urious life Invited the rebellion, ot conquerorlng Arbaces and ended In splendid suicide, even down to the nabobs of the multi-millionaire days whose Incalculable fortunes can buy the love and esteem of those who are nearest and dearest. It Is a melancholy catalogue of loveless grandeur and companionless power and Influence. The poet has not touched any new note. The theme he sings Is as old as the world. But it Is old because It Is eternally and unvaryingly true. Riches may take unto themselves wings and flee away and the prince of yester day become the pauper of today, but out of the depths will serge the living truth: ‘Few are the friends my life has made, Few In my hands their hearts have laid, And these were women; f am old Yet never have I been betraydd." Georgia’s Educational Battle Line. The crowning glory of Georgia Is In hor schools and colleges. Other factories may fall and fade away. The whir of the spindles may be hushed, the thunder of the looms grow still, and the line fabrics of machinery may servo their time and perish. But the wheels which go round and'round In the ceaseless and beneficent labor ot our schools are turning out the product which makes the future and will never die. They are the factories ot citizenship, the workshops Ot Immortality. And Georgia indeed Is rich, and growing always richer in these splendid Institutions. The stately line of schools and colleges which spread themselves In our columns today are the first and foremost of a long list of institutions which are training and Inspiring the children ot the state. The great schools of Georgia have kept pace with the progress of a rapidly advancing age. In method, in equipment. In faculty, and In every enhancement, ma terial and Intellectual, that the years have suggested and a moderate prosperity has permitted, the schools and colleges ot Georgia are, every one of them, better and broader and larger than they were ten years ago. The prep, schools ot the state have grown famous all over the South, and are moving nearer to tho Rugby standard every year. One of these academies carriee,lts pupils every year on an educational tour that is almost equiv alent to a scholastic term. And the foundation Is being nobly laid In all the schools which speak through The Georgian today. Nothing In Georgia has grown more wholesomely within the decade than the female colleges. The eager ness of competition between these several Institutions has bettered and advanced the whole cause of female education in the state. Time was when skeptics mocked at our system of female training, and called It a farce of mere outside veneering. But within the decade there have grown up improvements in teachers. In methods, and in thoroughness which have dignified and com mended our girls' schools to the confidence ot parents and educators. And the colleges and universities which stand for the higher education ot our men have caught from the spirit and the progressive systems of the age the advance that Is building them up to the higher standards of develop ment It Is oecomlng every year less and less a neces sity that our Georgia youth should go to Northern col leges to perfect their educational equipment for life. Standards have been steadily raised, curricula have been altered,-Bad the moral and physical tone of our schools, colleges and universities for young men and young wom en have been brought up to the highest possible basis. The one handicap to our Southern Institutions has been the lack ot money. The South, prosperous as It Is. has not yet reached that degree of wealth to give our schools all they need, but It Is simply heroic the spirit of self- sacrifice and courage with which teachers and pro prietors have given of their money and of their strength to eke out slender resources to the great end ot improve ment. The spirit behind this generous giving and living is the spirit that glorifies the schools of Georgia, and prom ises the largest things for the future. Because It Illus trates the earnestness and consecration that cannot fall to creep from teacher to student to the honor of our citizenship and the glory of our homes. Georgia blazons In these columns today that she has ample food to Iced the minds and hearts of her noble youth for the strenuous present and for the thrilling future. And to those who droop in pessimism over the pos- jlble things of evil which may front the forces that are struggling for righteousness and patriotism In these com ing years, we point them to the white array of our edu cational Institutions— Our far flung battle line of unconquerable defense. John Brown and the Truth of History. Atlanta, August 9,*190«. To the Editor of The Georgian: 1 have always read the editorials of The Geor gian with pleasure, even when I could not always subscrlbo to the sentiment promulgated. The elegant diction In which they sre couched makes them a literary,treat, even If they do not carry, conviction. But In your editorial in today's paper it seems to me that you are employing unneces sarily big guns to hunt small game. I speak of the article headed "Fairbanks Glorifying John Brown." That tne old man was a crazy fanatic it hardly needs the testimony of a senate com- , mlttee, headed by James M. Mason, to prove. His action In trying to abolish slavery with a forco of seventeen whites and live negroes would be proof enough. But it Is well to remember that the principle for which the old man fought, the abolition ot slavery, became In a very few years the ruling principle of the government; while the principle for which Jefferson Davis and bis allies fought, the perpetuation of human slavery, went down tn defeat and disaster, and Is now held in abhor rence by the whole civilized world. It would seem that his “soul went marching on" with almost lightning speed. Possibly if he had not lived—and died—the slaves of tho South would be slaves today; and everyone, even in the South, Is glad that they are not. Was he a "felon and a traitor" for seizing the government arsenal at Hhrper's Ferry? Pos sibly. But if so what was that other Brown— Governor Joe of Georgia—who repeated the per formance less than two years later at Augusta? And what of the numerous seizures of govern ment property all through the South, and that, too, by men who had taken a solemn oath to "protect and defend the constitution of the United States?" No, give John Brown due credit. We of the New South can well afford to. Crazy nnd misguided he undoubtedly was, but he blazed the path of liberty which we are all proud to tread. JOHN A. NELSON. We are gratified to know that our correspondent reads the editorials In The Georgian, and we are equally glad to afford him a medium for expressing views which are In conflict with our own. But he has road the editorials In The Georgian to little purpose, indeed, he has studied history itself to little purpose, when he voices such views as constitute a large part of his letter. It Is perhaps true, In a cer tain sense, that in dwelling for a while on the true char acter of John Brown we were employing "big guns to hunt small game.” But tho fact of the matter Is that we were not gunning for John Brown so much as for tho vice president of the United States, who, In accepting an invitation to participate In the proposed celebration of the battle of Osawatomle, Is disgracing the high office to which ho has boen elected by tho people. The vice president of these United States Is, or ought to be, by reason of his office, “a big gun” himself, and there was no need to go after him with a popgun. We find It difficult to take our Correspondent seri ously when he compares the treasonable raid ot John Brown and his followers with the war measures taken by Governor Brown and other Southern men at the beginning of the civil war. Our correspondent loses sight of the entire trend of history when he makes any such comparison. Government arsenals were not seized In Augusta or anywhere else until the people of the respective states had met In solemn conclave and adoptod an ordinance of secession. Through their ora tors and statesmen in congress they had given the gov ernment of the United States ample warning that It 11 persisted in an interpretation of the constitution so com pletely at variance with their understanding of that or ganic law—which. Incidentally, William Lloyd Garrison, twenty years before, had characterized as "a covenant with death and an agreement with hell"—nothing re mained but an appeal to arms, and there was a distant- the Hartford convention, held In John state, had established beyond all cavil. This was the principle for which the South con tended. It was in obedience to this principle, as a meas ure of open warfare, that Governor Joseph E. Brown seized the arsenal at Augusta, and It is a principle which Is growing upon the Intelligence of the world every day. Nine years ago, when the queen of Great Britain and Ireland and the empress of India celebrated her diamond Jubilee, what was the distinguishing incident ot that occasion? What was the spirit which pervaded the de liberations of the representatives from all the colonies? There had been for years an agitation in favor of send ing to the house of commons representatives from the various colonies to participate in the deliberations cf parliament There was a distinct effort to centralize the Imperial government But when these distinguished men met and talked over the situation calmly and fra ternally, what was the conclusion reached, and what was the most signal event of those deliberations and of the great jubilee itself? It was the firm and final adoption of the very principle for which the South had contended before the civil war. How is It recorded by an unimpeachable authority tn “The History of Our Own Times?” "The principle of colonial federation," he says, “evolved Itself out of these discussions, and It became evident that the only endur ing partnership which the empire and tile colonies could set up must be one allowing to each colonial state the right of managing Its own domestic affairs, leaving to neighboring colonies the right to form Into a separate federation." The precedent of the United States was Invoked at that very time, and going further than the moat ardent advocates of state's rights ever went In the South, it was settled once and for alj that the colonies should not even have a voice In the general parliament, but that each state was to be supreme In the management of its own internal affairs, i' * This theory has . run like a sliver ribbon through every decision of our supreme court since the union was cemented anew. There Is no disposition to open the question. We are happy and prosperous under the existing order of igs. But It well nigh fatigues Indignation that-it should be necessary to say, In this enlightened period, that "Jefferson Davis and his allies” did not fight “for the perpetuation ot human slavery," but for the perpetua tion of the real terms ot the constitution as it was formulated by the wisdom ot the fathers.

THOMAS B. GREGORY. In peace." And when at l&zt the "argument was exhausted' and nothing remained but the arbitrament of the sword, formal defiance waa flung In tho face of the foe. There was no midnight foray of guerrillas, without warrant or authority from any organized body whatevor. It wax frankly, fairly and firmly war, even to the knife. How can any rational, dispassionate man compare the,conflict, preceded by tbe solemn secession of the states, with the irruption of "seventeen whites and five nogrooa." under the leadership of a deluded old fanatic? Again, we blush to know that nny man of tho South, in this age of onllghtcnment and Intelligence, should be found making the statement that "Jefferson Davis and hla allies fought for the perpetuation of human slavery." It Is instances like thla which confirm us In what we have had to say about John Brown and the harm that his followers did to tho South. They served to cloud the Issue and to Inject Into It an element which was alien to the fundamental cause ot the civil war. Our corre spondent himself, by his very communication, vindicates what we have said of the Impropriety of Vice President Fairbanks glorifying the man who did so much to engen der bitter feelings between the North and South, both before nnd after the war. When will men like our correspondent Inform them selves sufficiently on the facts ot hlstofy to know that Jefferson Davis and hla allies did not “fight for the per petuation of human slavery?" How long must this an cient slander be handed down, and what are we to think when it la given currency by men who are living in the South? A new generation has arisen, indeed, and we are delighted to see the accumulating evidences of friendship and fraternity on tho part of all sections of the South. But, If Mr. Nelson Is a product of the New South, he affords pathetic evidence that the rising gen eration Is Ignorant of the sentiments and principles which inspired our forefathers when he talks of an ef fort on the part of "Jefferson Davis and his allies to perpetuate human slavery." , He has read tbe editorials in The Georgian to little purpose If he haa failed to follow the frequent attempts we have made to Inform the unenlightened that the South withdrew from the union to preserve the consti tution—withdrew because of her conviction, deliberately formed, and Justified by the beat statesmanship ot the country. North and South, for a hundred years, that the constitution should be strictly construed, and that the sovereign rights of the states should be maintained. The commonwealths of the South fought for the principle of local self-government, which has been the very es sence ot democratic government ever since government was established. There was no treason.In that It was supreme loyal ty to the constitution in letter and In spirit. It was fidelity to that Interpretation of the organic law which In the town of Newborn, N. C., near alty, holding his appointment directly the Episcopal church, on a atono near ly level with the ground, are cut these words: "This is erected to the memory of John Wright Stanly, a man whose tal ents, employed In extension and tried by uncommon vicissitudes, deserves a better monument." I should say so. It was to this man that the great and good Washington referred as "the Patriot John Wright Stanly, to whom the country was but recently debtor for £40,000 In good money, t loaned In the hour of nc-ll." All history spells the name Stanley, but John Wright Stanly dropped tho "e" to signify ills uncompromising ha tred of everything that smacked of King George nnd his tyranny. Stanly waa one of the most seatous of the Revolutionary patriots, and In the great struggle for American Inde pendence cheerfujty made many sacrl- nC He loaned General Greene, for this government, a large sum of money, first and last about £40.000, as re ferred to In the words quoted from Washington. This patriotic act of 8tanly Is scarcely known outside of the ltmtts of the city of Newbern, while all the world has heard of the loans made by Robert Morris. . „' ... More than once did John \\ right Stanly visit Philadelphia at the urgent request of Robert Morris, to aid tn raising money to keep the army tn the field. Stanly was no stranger to the Qua ker City. He owned a fine house there, tn which the first draft of the Declara tion of Independence was drawn up by Jefferson and read to a number of pa- trtota brought together at dinner for the purpose. They retired to the "smoking room” at the top of the house, and there, safe from noise and Interruption, the Immortal document was carefully read and discussed. But John Wright Stanly did more than loan money to his country's gov ernment; he placed at the govern ment's service a fleet of fourteen pri vateers, all of which, unfortunately, were captured tn the neutral port of St. Eusialls. West Indies. More than this. Stanly fitted out an armed brig to fight against the ene mies of Ills country's liberty. This btig, when about ready for op erations against the British, was burn ed at his wharf at Newbern by the Tories. . _ . At the same time the Tories sacked Stanly's store houses In Newbern, de stroying the sugar, molasses, salt, etc., with which they were filled. The pa triot himself would have been captur ed and carried off or killed had he not. fortunately, been absent at the time, visiting Philadelphia on busi ness connected with Washington’s army. Stanly, though not a lawyer, was our first judge of the court of admir- from the hands of Washington. Speaking of the loan of £40,000 that Stanly made to General Greene for the government, It Is a shame to have to confess that the government repu diated It after the war, leaving It to fall upon Greene. Furthermore, the government of this great country allowed two of Stanly's female descendants, old and feeble maiden ladles, to suffer want and die In poverty after the civil war. To cap the climax, the name of thle great patriot Is not even mentioned In the eo-called histories of our country, being practlcnlly unknown outside the limits of tho little North Carolina town in which he lived and died! 6H, TO BEjANAERONAUTI By JAMES J.

LOGAN, (Copyright, 1906, by American-Journal- Examiner.) At the risk of being considered a croaker, I cannot refrain from again using my pen In an appeal to the wom en of America to cease thetr indul gence In drinking anything of an alco holic nature. There has been much said In the papers about the growth of the drink habit among women during the past year, especially among those of fortune and fashion, who should be examples In all things to their sex. I was recently at a luncheon In a splendid hotel in this cky, which has a cafe for ^people who are not guests. While watting to be served I saw two stylish, pretty young women come Into the cafe, take seats at a small table and order two cocktails. They sat and sip ped the cocktails without anything else, then rose and left the cafe. They were too young really to be without a chaperon, but displayed an fndepend ence and indifference to comments upon this astonishing abandon that was painful to witness. ... l f .“ n . y .2 n# . h ?*, ony doubt M t0 the extent of the Indulgence of women In wine, cocktails, brandy and soda drink ing, he has only to go Into the most exclusive and aristocratic cafes In any city, on almost any night, after the close of the theater and opera per formance, and he will see that every seats at the tables Is taken, and that alcohol Is served In some form to each person, whether man or woman, and It is the rare.t thing that you aee a woman's glass turned down. This Is melancholy evidence that American women do not entertain the same abstemious position as formerly, nor do they realize the demoralising In fluence they are exerting over thl men of the country. There was a time when few men would have dared to order any kind of a drink In the presence of his wife or other ladles. Wine may have been taken In their own homes, but to go into a public place and or der brandy and soda or cocktails when ladles were In their company was a thing unheard of. Now a young man will take his mother and sisters, and even his grandmother, to these resorts and order cocktails for them and him self, and If the grandmother or mother declines, he considers that It Is a pub lic rebuke and is very much offended thereby. That there must be a halt to this sort of thing there Is no denying, oth erwise tho nation will degenerate, as all nations have that have been reck less In the use of alcoholic stimulants. The women of any nation are respon sible for the standard of virtue and temperance that Is maintained by the men. Hence the influence of the wom en of Puritan days over the men of the American nation laid the foundation for the prosperity and civilisation of the people of this republic. The con sequences of the mingling of many races on this continent In the century and a half that haa passed has brought an unfortunate change In our Ideas of principles nnd character, until we tem porize with dissipation and are blind to its baneful effects upon the generations that are soon to be the home-keepers and custodians of the affairs of the re public. I realize I am risking the forfeiture of friendship when I assert that we can not think that a self-respecting, Intel ligent woman, who realizes her re sponsibilities to society, will In public or In private Indulge In cigarette smok ing or drinking. It has been with great pain that I have witnessed the Indul gence of my sex In these deplorable vices, and It Is Impossible for me to find an excuse for any woman, young or old, who gives her sanction or joins men In drinking or smoking. We are falling upon melancholy days when It ts necessary for ministers of the gospel to preach sermons on the vicious habits of women tn polite so ciety. The women of this country have justly had the credit of doing more toward the building UP of churches, educating the people and advancing good work than men, and we should be very sorry If there ever comes a time when, through habits contracted abroad, they forget the high placea they have hitherto held. Legislation governing vice of any character what soever ts futile If the women of the na tion do not array themselves on the side of sobriety and morality. Dead Admiral Honored. Chefoo.

Aug. 11.—Those two little daughters of Senator William A. Clark, the copper king, are lucky little ladles. The Montana senator nbt only proposes to have the finest palace In thla city of palaces, but the play room for hla youngsters will be the moat complete and magnificent apartment devoted to the entertainment of children in the world. Before starting for Paris with his family Senator Clark gave orders for the alterations to his mansion in order to provide what he deemed suitable quarters for his children. The walls ot the nursery are laid out In costly tiles and mosaic. The tiles make pictures Illustrating well-known nursery rhymes and fairy talea The Mother Goose stories are blazened forth In a manner so vivid and real that the sen ator hopes to escape a great deal of story telling In the future. When An drea says to her father, “Tell me about the old woman that lived In the shoe." he will reply: “Run right up to the nursery, dear, and you’ll see it all illustrated In the tiling much more clearly and emphat ically than I could narrate It" Famous painters have been employed to decorate the ceiling of the room. Everything that can be Imagined for the entertainment of the children will be found In the fairy palace. Successful In love, Paul Rainey, the Western millionaire, today Is striving to achieve equal success on the turf. Rainey has just won the heart and hand ot Miss Marlon Fish, and today he tries to win one of the sparkling events of the racing world—the famous Saratoga special. Rainey has pinned his faith to Demund, the colt for which the Rainey Brothers paid Newton Ben nington (45,000, on the report that he had run a half mile In world record ,tlme. Since then Demund has won a small purso at Belmont, but has been beaten by Superman and Charles Ed ward. Since his defeats Demund has been rested and especially pointed for the Saratoga special today. He has been a long time in Saratoga, getting used to the climate, and Is declared tojw fit. The Raineys, It is reported, have de clared that If Demund does not win today they will sell their racing sta ble. Another Instance of the fragility of fame ts furnished by a news Item In the day's papers. Former Mayor Smith Ely was run over by a cab on Fifth avenue, and Is confined to his home as a result. A generation ago Mr. Ely was ono of New York's most noted merchants and public men. It Is doubt ful If many outside his own circle knew he was still living when the news of the accident.to him became known. Lillian Russell, who has bought a string of horses, and M going Into ths racing game under the name of "Mr. Clinton," beam the distinction of being the third woman of prominence In the United Statea who have figured as an owner. The other two are Mrs. Harry P. Whitney and Mrs. Herlan B. Duryea. Under the name of "Mr. Ros- lyn" they ran a email but eelect string of horses. Harry Keene, brother of James R. Keene, Is seriously 111 at hts home, 291 Fifth avenue. James R. Keene had permitted the report to be circulated that he waa on hla way to Saratoga, and would spend some time there. Through a personal channel It was learned that the millionaire turfman Is still In New! York. He probably will not leave town until a decided change sets in. Harry Keene is deeply Inter ested In the rubber Industry, tn addi tion to lesser lines of trade.
