Alabama Street, Atlanta, Ga. under her own rule and U would be a pity to create In the mind of the world In general that the Latin races are con stltutlonally Incapable of self-government. We have practically pledged our faith that this was not-true, and we will see. to It that the Cuban people have a fair opportunity to govern themselves before we annex them to the United States, though this should ul tlmately be the fate of the Island: republic. Enlrr.il as serond-clamatter April IS. ISOS, at the Poatofflea at Atlanta. Ga.. under act of consresa of March X Ul*. Congratulations to Mayor Joyner. We congratulate "Cap" Joyner moat heartily Upon hla nomination to be the next Democratic mayor of the city of Atlanta. Nothing could be more appropriate than this culmination of the splendid career of fidelity ard devotion which this able and popular citizen has given to the city of hla birth and adoption. The nature and de gree of the service which “Cap" Joyner has rendered to Atlanta through Its famous Are department, can scarcely be appreciated by those who give merely a casual thought to the work he has done. It la only those who are closest to him that realize the danger, the exposure, the tabor, the sacrifice and the eternal vigilance which have made such a service possible. Mayor Joyner will enter upon his official duties not only with a full confidence but with the loyal alfectloh of his friends and fellow citizens. We expect of him a clean, clear-cut and patriotic administration and feel'sure that he will give It to us. He will begin work with less friction, with less suspicion than any mayor that Atlanta has had in years, and hla way should be smooth during an administration which ought to be memorable- In the history of Atlanta. The race of Mr. T. H. Goodwin was simply amaz ing, running as ho did against-the confessedly most pop ular citizen pf Atlanta. With a comparatively brief ex perience In the city council and without the enlistment of many powerful agencies In his behalf. Mr. Goodwln’i race was in all respects a remarkable one and must re main as a tribute to his energy, to his tact and to hts personal popularity. It will nlso be well for.the thoughtful minded cltl- xen to Inquire whether Mr. Goodwin's remarkable race was not due to another element which we will hear from again in a subsequent campaign. It cannot well be passed over In the minds of thoughtful men that one of the chief planks in Mr Good win's platform was that of municipal ownership of pub lic franchises! The Georgian’s Great News Feat. The Georgian may fairly and without Immodesty claim tbe laurels of pre-eminence In the presentation and dis tribution of the Important and thrilling news of Wednes day's election. The people all over the stale turned to The Georgian for reliable Information because of the reputation which this paper has made and maintained for fairness and im partial truth In. the treatment of public affairs. Early in the morning telegrams began to come In from South Geor gia to the telegraph offlcea and to private correspondents saytng, "send us The Georgian's estimate; send us The Georgian's report." And, these Inquiries marked the happiest personal Incident of the day to this paper which rejoices In the ex pression of confidence Implied. Between the hour of noon and the hour of midnight The Georgian Issued ten extras which were placed on the atreets and sold like hot cakes, and almost above every other paper up to the hour of midnight. The reports contained In those extras as received by telegraph, by telephone and by mall, were not changed by any later advice and stand as a tribute to the accuracy and pains taking care of our correspondents. In the local display of the news In Atlanta The Geor gian was far ahead of every other city newspnper. An esteemed contemporary gave able and frequent reports upon the wall directly across the narrow street from Its office. But neither the publicity of the location nor the space allowed for the people permitted any such prowd as that which gathered at the Intersection of Peachtree, Marietta nnd Decatur streets to witness the news dashed on the big wall to the multitude of people gathered to see it It Is doubtful If there were at any tlmo tnoro than 2,000 people In front of the Broad street display, while there were many times more than 16,000, and at ono time as niauy as 20,000 people shouting and* cheering the re turns displayed by The Georgian In this great central lo cation. Equipped with an especially leased tclegrnph wire and long distance telephone extensions running direct to tbe big stereoptlcon placed In tho rooms. The Georgian was able to throw the returns Into the eyes of the people within 16 minutes after they were announced, oven from the most retno. 1 sections of the state. It was a genuine pleasure to this paper to be able to afford such a service to a people who were eagerly nox ious to hear the moat reliable news, and The Georgian was richly rewarded for Its expenditure of money and energy, by the enthusiastic and hearty appreciation of the thousands who surrounded Its great bulletin board up to a late hour In tho night Hoke Smith—Governor-Elect. White Supremacy! Rate Regulation ! Restraint of Corporations! Disfranchisement of the Negro! These are the magic words that wrought the revolu tion. This Is the shibboleth under which the battle was fought and won. This Is the platform that swept the state In the political tidal wave of all Its history. A great platform and a great candidate. A great policy and a great man. But the platform was greater than the candidate. The policy was more potential than the man. Any man upon this platform would have swept tljjs state at this time. It is no reflection upon Hoke Smith's magnificent campaign to say this, because he himself has said frankly and generously a hundred times that It was not himself but his platform that appealed to the people.' We make bold to say that If Hoke Smith, with all his power of brains and personality, had championed an opposite platform, and If any man of courage and hon esty, even If less able, had preached white supremacy and railway regulation persistently and exclusively, he would have won even as Hoke Smith has won. The air of the republic Is permeated with the spirit of reform, aqd a strong mam has only to breathe it and exhale it to sweep the hustings’ and the ballot boxes In this year, of grace and liberty. But In this campaign n great man and a great plat form met Perhaps no man among the splendid publi cists of our present Georgia could have brought to this reform crusade n personality so powerful and inspiring as Hoke Smith. His great frame, his powerful voice, his lion courage, and his great aggressive record as a law. yer and a public leader, carried In every tone of i his ceaseless advocacy the conviction to the mind and judg- ment of the people, that here was a great big man—a giant of controversy and used to battle, who knew how and would dare to execute the people's will. No person al presence and record In Georgia would have carried such assurance of execution as Hoke Smith’s has done. And this was his personal power with the people. Here was the point at which his personality cahght and held them. Here was the man who could do It—If any body could—what the people wanted done. Mr. Smith's mental and physical endurance was pro digious. To have made 225 speeches In a single campaign -S-to have spoken In 144 counties of the state and to have sustained In every speech an even average of power, clearness and convincing eloquence, was a feat almost unparalleled In politics. It explains In a personal way the phenomenal fact that this one man running against four of the strongest men In the state, beat not any two of them combined, or any three of them combined, but all four of them combined, with nil the agencies of politics and machinery and experience and position. . It Is from first to last the record-breaking campaign and tbe record-breaking victory in Georgia's history. And now what of the future? Hoke Smith has won. He goes Into office pledged to, Jwo of-the-mightiest re forms that ever - concerned the commercial and-the so cial life of a people. If anybody, can carry theso re forms Into effect, he can do so. He knows law and he knows government, and he knows the people and he knows no fear. If ho can execute to the letter the pledges of his campaign Hoko Smith becomes the central nnd foremost figure of the South. He knows this, und this knowledge Is the pledge and guarantee of his faith ful effort to fulfill. If he were not a sincere and hon est man, as we earnestly believe him to be, then this full knowledge of his great opportunity would be in itself a compelling Inducement to make this effort. That Governor Smith will do his mighty best along this line wo do not for ono moment doubt. Tbe nearer duty Is tor the people who have placed him In power to hold up his bands with one accord In execution. With the full and active support of all the people whose ballots have clothed him with responsibility Governor Smith may hope to project his great reforms far into the realm of actual accomplishment. In his great work he shall have Tho Georgian's full support. His platform has been our platform, and his victory Is our victory In the largest civic sense of the word. Steadily, consistently, and yet without passion or bitterness we ltavn championed tho principles which linvo won the now governor hts chair of state. Not as a fierce and eager partisan of the man, and not in furious headlines, but from time to time when tho issue was ever in doubt, we have given our faith and the reasons for Its existence. And there are almost as many who have been reached'by the calmer statement as by the more eager and excited advocacy. And now, /when the real and serious battle of the new governor's career Is Just begun we give him the calm but sincere assurance that along the lines of the mutual beliefs In which we have triumphed, be shall have no more steadfast friends and co-laborers than The Geor gian and Its staff. clared alleglamy? to Its principles Rtid has never been consistent with the ante-election pledges which he has made. They are moving heaven and earth and the powers of the air and the ixowers under the earth—principally tbe latter—In New York, to defeat the nomination of William R. Hcarst. His name has been for a decade the ono namo to strike terror to the trusts and to tbe syndicates and to the corporate powers that plunder and bleed and oppress the people In thaT great metropolis. And the reppbllc may be sure that no amount of money or debauchery of the people will be spared to defeat tho nomination of this man. This Is the poople’s year, and In William R. Hearst the people have a candidate who can neither be Intimi dated by violence nor bribed by power. He has had the good sense to surround himself with an armameqt of publicity as powerful as the forces that oppose him. And he has never hesitated to put his convictions and his political creeds In'the balance of tbe'ballot without apprehension and without fear either of victory or of defeat It will be strange Indeed and unworthy of the great spirit of these stirring times if a political her maphrodite like Jerome should be successfully used ns an obstacle In the triumphant path of the best and bravest Democrat of our modern Democracy. We will wait to see. Clark Howell’s Card. The Georgian congratulates the Hon. Clark Howell upon the strong and dignified announcement In which he accepts In Thursday's Constitution tho results of the bal lot of Wednesday and the assured nomination of his great competitor. Nothing that Mr. Howell has written or spoken during bis long and vigorous campaign has been stronger, clear er and more dignified than his final statement to the pub lic. He asserts, as he has a right to do, the Integrity of his political position during tho campaign, and gives clearly and powerfully the reasons for tho position he has assumed and defended upon the hustings. Better than this. Mr. Howell, without a suggestion of bitterness, frankly nnd fully accepts the verdict of the primaries and pledges his allegiance to the Democratic party under Its new leadership and to the policies Its new leader main tains. ' Such a statement strips defeat of Its sting and is In Itself a gallant victory won from the heart of disaster. Growth and Progress of the New South Under this hMd trill appear from time to time Information Illustrating the remarkable development of the South which deserves something tnoro than pass ing attention. The Cuban Revolution. The underlying causes of the Cuban revolution, which la now claiming space in the newspapers 'and bringing back.to our recollection the familiar names of the cities and provinces which were tbe theater of con flict nearly a decade ago, are not clear. There are Intimations that a certain class of people who will never be satisfied until Cuba Is annexed to the United States-are really behind the movement, but a more plausible explanation lies In the suggestion that It Is largely due to the desire pf the outs to get In. ’ - The Cuban people have not become quite familiar with the Idea of representative government. They have not yet learned to capture the spoils by capturing the machine or stuffing the-ballot box. so their mercurial na ture impels them to make an appeal to arms and stir up a "revolution There Is no danger that this little shindy will ever attain to any such Importance as tbe revolutions which distracted the Island In the years gone by. The real grievances which gave a substantial Inspiration to those earlier contests are distinctly lacking and the whole thing will terminate In a few Inglorious arrests of the leading "generals." with tbe possible Intervention of tbe strong arm of the United States. This latter contingency, In the opinion of many. Is what a certain class of the revolutionists want—and will not be happy unUI they get It But Cuba has prospered Hearst and Jerome. - It Is not at all astonishing that Mr. William Travers Jerome, of New York, should virulently abuse Mr. Wil liam Randolph Hearst, of New York. Mr. Jerome wants to be governor. He is willing to accept the nomination from any party that will choose him. He Is flirting with tile Republican^ and coquetting with the Democrats, and he Is plastic aqd pliable In his opinions to them both. He is the friend and comrade of every ultra-conservative Democrat who flourishes upon the trusts or fattens upon the syndicates of the metrop olis. " In the way of his ambitions stands that Invincible man of the people who, ns editor of Tbe New York Amer ican and eight other Democratic newspapers, has been straightforward, fearless and absolutely consistent In his fight for the people since he came Into public life. Mr. Hearst has exposed at every stage of the game Jerome’s record of an unbroken series of election pledges. He has shown that while on the stump the district attorney was a terror to the ballot stuffers, to tbe Insurance fiends and to the Ice combines, but that as soon as he came Into office he ignored election thugs, let Perkins go un- whlpped of Justice and winked at the Ice trust He has declared that all the talk about trusts Is equally non sense, and that he Is not and never has been a mem ber of any political organization. It would be evldenea of political prostitution on the part of the Democratic party of New York to nominate a man like William Travers Jerome, who has never de- Atlanta Doubles the County’s Average Growth. There Is not an angle from which we can view the commerce of the South, there Is no combination of figures for purposes of comparison, which do not shed a flood of light on tbe marvelous growth and prog ress of this section. If we take the South as a whole we find that the amount of capital Invested here Increases 65 per cent In five years, while In tho country as a whole these Investments Increase only 42 per cent. If we consider the state of Georgia we find, a still more gratifying’ condition, for the increase In the amount of capital .Invested for five years Is 70 per cent, or 6 per cent- greater than for the South as a whole. - And then we have the further fact that from present Indications the tax digest of this grand old commonwealth will show an Increase of something like $50,000,000 as compared with last year. Finally when we come down to Atlanta alon.e the same pre-emi nence is shown. Take Che bank clearlags or the building permits by the month, or the wee 1 : or tbe year and the same steady progress, as compared with corresponding periods of previous years. Is shown. Below we present the figures for the month of July as to the amount of new buildings erected In 57 cities as compared with the same month last year. These figures were officially sent to The American Contrac tor, of Chicago, and furnish some gratifying Information as to Atlanta and her comparative standing among! the leading cities, of the United States. These figures show that Atlanta's growth last month, as compared with July of last year, is twice as great as that of the genera] average of the 57 leading cities. Her Increase was 65 per cent while the average of all the cities was only 31 per cent With a few exceptions, the cities which tailed to discount their last year’s record are of the minor class, -and were not expected to ex ceed the totals of tbe prosperous month of July, 1905. The percentage of gain, as compared with the same month of the past year, are: Atlanta 65, Baltimore - 50, Birmingham 166, Bridgeport 92, Buffalo 87, Chicago 28," Denver 21, Duluth 61, Grand Rapids 88, Jersey City 120, Little Rock 100, Louisville 128, Los Angeles 37, Minneapolis 81, Memphis 36, Mobile 76, Newark 38, New Orleans 18, Philadelphia 45, Pittsburg 16, Portland, Ore., 166, Rochester 88, St. Louis 41, St. Paul 11, San Antonio 80, Scranton 47, Seatle 27, Spokane 32. Salt Lake City 138, Topeka 161, Tacoma 74, Worcester 77. The reaction in Greater Pfew York amounts to 30 per' cent, although the borough of Brooklyn made a gain of 16 per cent dur ing this time, and the aggregate gain of 67 cities Is 31 per cent Tbe losses are mostly confined to smaller cltlts, as shown In 'the table of THE SI?A.
