UTS. and noblest achievements of the magnificent century In which we live, and the movement which places so many periodicals In the hands of the people Is In one respect n choice sign of the times. But all these will be but agencies of decay If they are to sound the knell of the old and ever delightful volumes which make for culture and Intellectual Immortality^ admires courago and earnestness can fail to give unstint, lowing. As has been said of him by one of the strong ed admiration to the magnificent .race which Richard and mnst eloquent ot his champions, "ho has met In the The Trade Press Is Welcome. The annual meeting of the Southern Trade Press Association, which is being held In Atlanta today, has brought together ns fine a body of men as this city has seen in a long time. There are many matters of Interest to themselves and to the South In general which are coming up for discussion during the present session, nnd this, together with the pleasure Incident to the annual gathering, makes the ocrsslon one to be remembered. Too much esnnot be said In commendation of the noble work done by the trade papers of the South. While the upbuilding of this section Is an Important function of the dally press, the latter is. In the very nature of things, a newspaper, first of all, while the sole province of the trade paper is to stimulate Interest In the Industrial and commercial progress of tills section of our common country. The Georgian Is devoting considerable attention to this feature, and its investigations lead to the convic tion. made clear in our columns, that the South is en joying a period of prosperity such ns It has-never'seen before, and which is not attained by any other section of the country. There is n field for a Inrgc number of trade papers in the South. Our diversified Industries have reached that degree of Importance that each ot them needs s special organ, and the field Is now very extensively covered. v President Harman, of the association, who It nt ths head of "Cotton," the largest nnd most representative journal of the cotton trade published In this section of the country, has presided with high ability over .the deliberations ot the body and has put through n great deal of valuable work. To the vlsitora within our gates wo extend a hearty welcome. We assure them that Tlio Georgian and the people at largo appreciate their efforts fo build up the South along the progressive lines ‘ they advocate, and the efficiency of their work will be shown in the future, •a in the past, by tbe greater prosperity enjoyed by tho South. Saturday Evening. It was Coleridge who said thaj - "a book worth read ing la worth reading twice," and bb an Illustration of the value and pow*r of thoroughness, someone has said, "Beware of the man of one book." There are only too many evidences that the Ameri can people of today are disimscd toward the superficial and have but little dlsiiosltlon to read anything which cannot be devoured within a comparatively short time, like a magaxtne article, for Instance. in this • connection some remarkable figures have recently been given out which show that new periodi cals have been admitted to tbe malls at the rate of ten a day for the past ten years. Including Sundays and holidays. In other words, during the past decade more than 40,000 weekly nnd monthly magazines have been established In Ibis country. What Is the contrasting fact In this connection? Twenty-five years ago there were 3,000 book stores In this country, while the number, we are told, has now been reduced to less than 1,000. This Is In spite of the fact that during the past quarter of a century the coun try has greatly Increased In wealth nnd has grown In population at least fifty per cent. In addition to these facts, “collected by The New York Times, It should he stated that Germany annually publishes 354 books for every million of Inhabitants, and Franyc 344; tlinl Great Britain, Holland, Belgium, Swttxerlnnd, Austria, Italy, Sweden, und Norway rank In the order given, fifcen Russia, with Its vast agrarian population, publishes 86 books annually for every mil lion of Inhabitants, while the United States, which by rights should be one of the moBt cultured nnd scholarly ot nil the countries of the globe; nimunlly publishes only 81 books per million of inhabitants. This Is Indeed a low proitortlon In the number of volumes published annually In this country, and nt tho same time we are told that the United States publishes 60 por cent of all the periodicals In the world. These cold facts only need to bo reinforced by a mo ment's reflection on the part of tho average reader, who will readily recall how many now mngnilnes he lina seen on the book stalls during tho past few years, a great majority of which apparently ntako a success, while some of them attain to really remarkable propor tion. There can he no doubt, that there Is a larger reading public today than* there ever was In tho history of tho country. The low price at which the average periodical can be purchased plaocB It easily within the reach of peo ple who n quarter of a century ago paid but tittle atten tlon to periodical Htorature and perhaps very little to reading of any kind. But It Is an Inevitable deduction that with tho small amount of books published In this country, whon com pared to the imputation, there Is very little exhaustive reading—and therein lies the pity of It all. That man Is to bo titled Indeed who has never form- ad the habit of making fast friendship with books—not merely with the author but with some Individual volumo, which he thumbs and marks and caresses until It ac quires the quality of an old friend Indeed. They thus acquire a character no less distinctive than nil Indi vidual. We'know the very ]>age to which we can turn In Don Quixote for the Inimitable scene of Sancho'a Induction to the governorship of the Island of Baratarla; we remember Just where to find, In "Paradise Lost," those haunting lines of Infinite melody. "Heaven opened wide her ever during gates;'' we know Just where we have marked tbe death scene of Haldee In that surrepti tious -Don Juan" of tbe long ago; In the essays of Mac aulay we turn readily to the New Zealander who "takes his stand on a broken arch of lxmdon bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul;’’ we can find "Halmalo" at a glance In "Ninety-Three.” or “the Island valley of Avll- Ion" In the "Idyls of the King." They are nil old friends and welcome us whenever we have a mind, with the old familiar faces which lend We Salute Them on the Home Stretch. When the shadows fall slant upon another Saturday afternoon, there will have passed Into history the mem ory of the longest and bitterest campaign ever known to Georgia politics. Not even the stern and malignant feeling that dis tressed the days of Troup and Clarke, not that brief but (bitter campaign hetween Colquitt and Norwood In 1880, nor yet tho fierce rallies between John B. Gordon and Augustus Bacon, have compared In the remotest degree to this campaign In the length of Its prosecution and In the bitterness of the personalities which have distin guished Its leading candidates. With the pause which falls upon tho closing week, and with the softness and calm of the Sabbath which Intervenes before the strife is renewed, the Impulses of the hour lead us once more to a general defense ot ail ot the parties mixed In this awful "scramble and Into a few general words ot personal comment upon each ot those engaged. Fifteen months ago not one of the five citizens who are leading their friends and followers In this campaign, had ever been smirched by public abuse or by bitter per sonal criticism. And, six months from today tbe animus will have died from the breath of the battle, and these five gentlemen will stand up oneq. more before their fel low men la undlmmed repute and In unimpeached char- actor to enjoy the respect of s public which will have easily forgotten the cbnrkes born of confllctlpg ambitions and Inspired by factional bate. * * We are quite sure .oat each of these men, whatever the Issue of Wednesday’s battle, will be glad when it is over and will rejoice In the peace and tranquillity which wraps four of them In the quietude of Individual citizen ship,. and which will be compensated by triumph even If It beats fiercely upon one, of them In the white light of public station. Gentlemen ot Georgia, wo salute you all. You are none of you as good or as bad as you have been painted by your friends nnd by your enemies. You are none of you all saints anil we teel sure none ot you are all sin ners. You are five |trenuous, ambitious, well reputed Georgia citizens exercising your Indisputable right to as- plrp to public office and to fight according to your natural Instincts nnd to your natural or creative environment for the one prize which Is the goal of your several ambitions. You can't all win success, but you can each deserve It Tho Georgian, whose preferences In the campaign- have never been personal hut aro now ns they have always been attached rnthor to the Issue than to the personality nt stake, with a full and generous good will salutes you all. Col. JAMES M. SMITH, of Oglethorpe, has done his state much service and wo know It, Measured by the definiteness of his achievements In agriculture and In de velopment, no man In all the scramble has writ more definitely on the roll of Georgia's meritorious sons than the farmer candidate ot Smlthonla. His broad acres have been won by his broad Intelligence, and the teeming crops which have filled his colters with revenue have also glorified nnd Inspired tho agriculture of the state. Colonel Smith has confined his campaign to a stnglo section of the state and It Is to be presumed that he covets most of all the Indorsement of his Imme diate nolghbors, and that within this limited sphere he hopes to build up a following which will give him n commanding Influence in case of a locked convention The farmer candidate has freely given and received his blows In this campaign. 'He has been criticized and abused and his personal character Impugned. But he has ntwnys responded gnmely and powerfully to every assault nnd he will doubtless come out of the contest more respected and more Influential than he ever was before. Col. JOHN H. ESTILL, of Chatham, Is the only eaudt- date who has passed through this blistering campaign without u slab or a stroke upon hts personal character. With the single exception of the bitter feud which has been voiced In tho encountor between the redoubtable Colonel D. O. Purse and himself, tho candidate of South Georgia has received upon his mailed breast no blows ot venom and no shafts of slander or abuse. He has pur* Bued a tranquil and unruffled wny, moving with skill and dignity over the field of battle, meeting his friends, mak ing Ills speeches nnd relying upon a record of remark able buslnesa capacity nnd success. With a large for tune amassed by the patient nnd Intelligent methods applied to the great profession of Journnllsm, he has been for more than n scoro of years tho exponent and voice of that great section of South Georgia whose metropolis nnd capital Is the beautiful city of Savannah. There can bo no doubt thnt it the ballots of Georgia should call him to the capital, Colonel Kstllt would make a Bound nnd safe executive, ami thnt neither the stnte’s credit nor reputation would suffer for a moment In his effec tive hands. RICHARD RUSSELL has run perhaps the game;t ami cleverest race of them all. He started with such small hopes and with such apparently pitiful inedibilities of success that Ills appearance In this last lap of the race near the front of the procession, running almost neck miff neck with the foremost candidate, is a colossal and Inspiring tribute to the brains and the energy of this remarkable man. Without money, without a ring be hind him. without friends except the faithful few (ns true as steel to his cause), he has by the sheer force of his eloquence, his carneatqfsa mid his persistent courage lit erally forced himself to the front rank of tbe candidates, and there are those who say that If the campaign lasted tor three weeks longer his Very siieed and qualities w-onld put him neck am! neck with the foremost man In Russell, of Winder, has run. The hearts of the people are with him. They have been won by his self-evident kinship to themselves and the public will be astonished by the size of the vote in the Wednesday primaries. CLARK HOWELL, of The Constitution, has lived a life of .sunshine and good fellowship in Georgia. He has sprinkled a thousand kindnqgses over the fertile soil of good men's hearts, and the fruits of his sowing have come back to him In this crisis of his life. Probably the following of no man In this race Is so largely and so warmly personal as that of the editor of Tbe Constitu tion. His genial nature, bis kindly speech, his long ser vices In the legislature, In the sanctum and upon state and national committees of his party and In many forums of public discussion—all have given him such a hold upon the people that it Is difficult to estimate it, although It is not difficult to understand. Tbe Georgian feels that It rendered Mr. Howell a special service In diverting him from the mistake of his earlier canvass to a more tran quil and amiable form of discussion. By holding tbe watch upon him In his first debate with Hoke Smith In Atlanta we called his attention as It had never been called before to the preponderance of the personal de ment In his argument for the suffrage of the state. And with the good judgment which has always distinguished him, Mr. Howell saw the point, changed his tactics to his own natural and amiable style and has presented from that time forth his canvass upod n different and better plane, and has unquestionably bettered his prospects and multiplied his friends every day' since his change ot front. It should be said to his credit.that with the predictions ot the politicians sgalnst him he has fought out hts campaign with a courage and an energy rarely surpassed. He has not seemed tor a moment to recognize the danger or the possibility of defeat, but against evil and good report—upon the hustings and in the forum and In tbe columns of his newspaper, he has fought with unflagging faith and with consummate skill In the political arena. With powerful friends behind him and with superb agencies sustaining him in his great newspaper, Mr. Howell has missed no point and skipped no advantage, and In. this closing hour he is fighting as cheerily and as audaciously as If the fight had Jusf begun. Whether he wins or loses In Wednesday's battle he- can have no conscience qualms of efforts slighted or oppor tunities neglected In this campaign. And whether he be governor of Georgia or continues to occupy the even more influential station of editor el The Constitution, he will continue to be the toast of his friends and one ot the strongest and most popular men of Georgia and of the South. HOKE 6MITH'8 SPLENDID ISOLATION! has been the notable and effective thing In his great campaign. As little as his opponents may realize It, It has been of the strongest forces that have made bis remarkable tor-, arena every shape of man and of politician and has never yet lowered his arm. From the beginning until the clos ing hour It has been Hoke Smith against tbe field. He" has literally fought them all. Every personal force In Oeorgia, and nearly every forceful politician has seem ed to be ranged In solid rank against him. , It has been charged that every opposing candidate has held It to be bis first duty to himself and to his section to elect him self, and his second duty to defeat Hoke Smith. Whether this be true or not It is at least evident to the casual and the Impartial observer of Tho Georgian that the campaign has been held by two fictions, one for Hoke Smith and tho other composed •' " ose opposing him. That he has fought boldly and un;,....h!ng!y no lover of fact or of truth can deny. He has met everything that has asked him and had a right to ask him to meet them. He has faced and fought every opposition tlmt was flung against him and, without a whine or a whimper and with out a’complaint against the overwhelming odds, he has carried the sword of his logic and fiercest flash of his , eye Into the thickest o. the fray. And wherever the d«? t tht‘kee^r fe f e Vth?m'm"a| h< 'h^ r field was the reddest and the fight the fiercest, tbe.great land potatoes, in the presence of •),, bulk of this Isolated candidate has loomed up unterrified hllr * rnmA and terrible to hts adversaries. In summing up the merits of the campaign it occurs to the Impartial observer In the watch tower of The Georgian that this has been the worst mistake the opposition has made from the June of 1905 to the August of 1906. Tbe practical unanimity of the opposition has awakened for Mr. Smith the sympathy of the people ot Georgia who from time Immemorial havo always been disposed to tqke sides with the fellow who was fighting the field. The splendid Isolation Into, which this notable opposition has forced Mr. Smith in his cam paign has been a better card thnn almost any one he could have played himself. This one man, standing as he has claimed to stand frorji the beginning, as the cham pion of the rights and the Interests of the common peo ple and of the Caucasian race and fighting as one man against four men, has been a spectacle that has appealed to the people ot Georgia in the most dangerous and effete tlve way. Not many mistakes have been made by the opposition In this campaign, but the one great mistake Is to have permitted such an alignment as to have framed Hoke Smith In a splendid Isolation as the people's cham pion fighting against all tbe forces of opposition in the state. Well, the battle will be over within three days. Tbe field of the primaries rushes white on ou.- sight and the clans are all gathered In battle array. .The eyes of the people who form the army of the reserve which Is to turn the scale ot battle In this mighty struggle, must be kept clear and undlmmed In the comprehension ot the Issues which dominate the personalities of the campaign. Not men but measures, not personalities but policies. Not the politicians but the people, not the office but the state. With this shibboleth let the ballot proceed. Let the great people pass upon the man who shall represent in best and truest form the measures, the polldta and the principles In which they believe. The battle la on and may the best man with the best platform win on Wednesday for Georgia and for the South. GOSSIP I By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER New York, Aug. 18.—It may nut havs been because of an awful squeezing their former master gave their breth ren in Wall street yesterday, but f 0 , some reason or other the two Krpflt Alaskan bears given to the bronx by E.
