Congratulations to Mayor Joyner. We congratulate "Cap" Joyner most heartily upon his 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 and devotion which this able and popular citizen has given to the city of his birth and adoption. The nature and de gree of the service which "Cap" Joyner has rendered to Atlanta through Its famous Are department, cau scarcely be appreciated by those who give merely a casual thought to the work he tins done. It la only those who are closest to him that realize the danger, the exposure, the labor, ths sacrifice and the eternal vigilance which have made such a service possible. Mayor Joyner will enter upon hla official duties not only with a full confidence but with the loyal affection of his friends and fellow citizens. We expect of him a clean, clear cut and patriotic administration and’ feel sura (hat he will give It to us. He will begin work with lew* friction, with less suspicion than any mayor that Atlanta has had In years, and his way should be smooth during an administration which ought to be memorable In the history of Atlanta. The race of Jlr. T. H. Goodwin was simply a max ing. running ns he did against the confessedly most pop ular citizen of Atlanta. With a comparatively brief eg periencc In the city council and without the enlistment of many powerful agencies In hla behalf, Mr. Goodwin's face was In all respects a remarkable one and must re main ns a tribute to h|s energy, to hla tact and to his personal popularity. It will also be well for the thoughtful minded cltl- sen to Inquire whether Mr. Goodwin's remarkable race "was not due to another element which we will hear from again In n subsequent campaign. It cannot well be passed over In the mlnda 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 the laurels of preeminence In the presentation and dis tribution of the Important and thrilling news of Wednes day's election. The people nil over the state turned to The Georgian for reliable Information because of the reputation which this luiper has made and maintained for falrneas 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 offices and to private correspondents raying, "send us The Georgian's estimate; send us The Georgian's report." Ill And these inquiries marked the happiest iiorsonat 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 streets 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 ait our correspondent*. In the local display of the news In Atlanta Tho Geor gian was far ahead of every other city newspaper. An esteemed extemporary 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 crowd at that which gathered at the Intersection of I’onchtrec, Marietta and Decatur streets to witness the news flashed on the big wall to tho multitude of people gathered to see it. It la doubtful II there were at any time more than 3,000 people In front of the Broad street display, while there were many times more than 15,000, and at ono time as many at 20,000 people shouting and cheering the re turn! displayed by The Georgian in this great central lo cation. Equipped with an especially leased telegraph wire and long distance telephone extensions running direct to the big stereoptlcon placed In the rooms. The Georgian was able to throw the returns Into the eyes of the people within 15 minutes Bfter they wero announced, even from the moat remo.: sections of the stato. It was a genuine pleasure tu this paper to be able to afford such a service to a people who wero eagerly anx- tous to hear the most reliable news, and The Georgian was richly rewarded for Its expenditure ol money and energy, by the enthuslaatlc and hearty appreciation of the thousunds who surrounded Ita great bulletin'board up to a late hour In the night. The Cuban Revolution. The underlying cautes of the Cuban revolution, which U now claiming apace In the newupapera and bringing back to our recollection the familiar names of ths cities and provinces which wero the theater of con flict nearly a decade ago. are not clear. There are Intlmatlone 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 of 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 thetr mercurial na ture Impelt them to make an appeal to arms and stir up a "revolution." There It no danger that this little shindy will ever attain to any such Importance as the revolutions which distracted the Island In the years gone by. The real -grievances which gave a substantial Inspiration to those earlier contests sre distinctly lacking and the whole thing will terminate In a few Inglorioua arrest* of the leading "generals," with the possible Intervention of the strong cm of the United States. This Is the shibboleth finder which the battle was fought and won. This la the platform that swept the state In the , political tidal ware of all Ita 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 t))Js 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 hla platform that appealed to the people. We make bold to aay 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 s and railway regulation persistently and exclusively, he would have won even as Hoke Smith has won. The air of the republic la permeated with the spirit of reform, and a strong man baa 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 a great man and a great plat form met. Perhaps no man among the splendid publl data of our present Georgia could have brought to this reform crusade a personality so powerful and Inspiring as Hoke 8mltb. His great frame, hla powerful voice, his lion courage, and his great aggresstve record as a law yer and a public leader, carried In every tone of 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 preseoce and record in Georgia would have carried such assurance of execution as Hoke 8mlth's has done. And this was hla personal power with the people. Here was the point at which hla personality caught and held them. Here was the ifian who could do It—If any body could—what the people wanted done. Mr. 8mlth's mental and physical endurance was pro digious. To have made 225 speeches In a single campaign —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 all the agencies of politics and machinery and experience Bnd position. It Is from first to last the record-breaking campaign and the record-breaking victory in Georgia's history. And now what of the future? Hoke Smith has won. He goes Into office pledged to two of the mightiest re forms that evor concerned the commercial and the so cial life of a people. If anybody can carry these re forms Into effect, he can do so. Ho knows law and he knowa government, and be knows the people and he knows no fear. > If he can execute to the letter the pledges of bis campaign Hoke Smith bocomes tho central and foremost figure of the South. He knows this, and this knowledge Is the pledge and guarantee ol hla faith' ful effort to fulfill. If he were not a sincere and bon' est man, aa we earnestly believe him to be, then this full knowledge of hla great opportunity would be In Itself a compelling Inducement to make this effort. That Governor Smith will do his mighty bent along this line we do not for one moment doubt. The nearer duty Is for the people who have placed him In power to hold up his hands with one accord In execution. With the full and active aupimrt of all the people whose lutllols have clothed him with responsibility Governor Smith may hope to project hla great reforma far Into tho realm ol 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 havo championed the principles which have won the new governor his chair of state. Not a a a fierce and eager partisan of tho man, and not In furious headlines, but from time to time when the Issue wan ever In doubt, we have given our faith and tho reasons for Us existence. And there nre almost as many who have been reachod by tho calmer statement as by the more eager and excited advocacy. And now. when the real and serious battle of the new governor's career la just begun we goo him the calm but slncero assurance that along the lines of the mutual beliefs In which we have triumphed, lie shall have no more steadfast friends and co-laborers than The Geor gian and Its staff. Hearst and Jerome. It la not at all astonishing that Mr. William Travera 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 the Republicans and coquetting with the Democrat <, and he la plastic and pliable In bis opinions to them both. He Is the friend nnd comrade of every ultra-conservsC-e Democrat who flourishes upon the trusts or fattens '.i>on the syndicates of the metrop olis. In the way of hla ambitions stands that Invincible man of the people who. aa editor of The New York Amer ican und 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 atump the district attorney was a terror to the ballot stutters, to the Insurance fiends and to the Ice combines, but that as soon aa he came Into office be Ignored election thuga. let Perkins go un- whipped 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 organisation. U would be evidence of political prostitution on the Tht* latter contingency. In the opinion of many. It what a certain class of the revolutionists want—and wilt I part of the Democratic party of New York to nominate a not be happy until they get It. But Cuba has prospered 'man like William Travera Jerome, who has never de clared allegiance to Its principles and has never bp' consistent with tho ante-election pledges which he has made. They are moving heaven and earth and the powers of the air and the powers under tho earth—principally the latter—In New York, to defeat the nomination of William R. HearaL His name has been for a decade the one name to strike terror to the trusts and to the syndicates and to the corporate powers that plunder and bleed and oppress the people In that great metropolis. And the republic may be sure that no amount ol money or debauchery of the people will be spared to defeat the nomination of this man. * This is the people'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 bad the good sense to surround himself with an armament of publicity as powerful as (he forces that oppose him. And he has never hesitated to put his convictions and hla political creeds In the balance of the 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 aa 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 the results of the bal lot of Wednesday and the assured nomination of hla great competitor. Nothing that Mr. Howell has written or spoken during JiU long and vigorous campaign has been stronger, clear er nnd more dignified than bis final statement to the pub lic. He asserts, as he has a right to do. the Integrity of hla political position during the campaign, and gives clearly and powerfully the reasons for the position he has assumed and defended upon the hustings. Better than this, Mr. Howell, without a suggestion of bitterness, frankly and fully accept* the verdict of the primaries and pledges his allegiance to the Democratic party under Its new leadership and to the policies Ita new leader main tains. Such a statement strip* defeat of Its atlng and la In Itself a gallant victory won from the heart of disaster. Growth and Progress of the New South log ftttentloo. Atlanta Doubles the County’s Average Growth. There Is not an angle from which we can view the commerce of the South, there la no combination of figures for purposes of comparison, which do not shed a flood of light on the marvelous growth and prog ress of this section. If wo take the South as a whole we find that the amount of capital Invested here increases 65 per cent in five years, while In the 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 5 per cent-greater than for the South aa a whole. * t And then we have the further fact that from present Indications the taftdlgest of this grand old commonwealth will show an Increase of something like $50,000,000 as compaugd with last year. Finally when we come down to Atlanta alone‘the same pre-emi nence Is shown. Take the bank clearings'or the building permits by the month, or the wee': or the 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 lost year. These figures were officially sent to The American Contrac tor, of Chicago, and furnish some graUfylng Information as to Atlanta and her comparative standing among the leading cities ot 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 general average of the 67 leading cities. Her Increase was <5 per cent while the average of all the cities was only 31 per cent With a few exceptions, the cities which failed to discount their last year's record are of the minor class, and were not expected to ex ceed the totals of the prosperous month of July, 1905. The percentage ot gain, aa compared with the same month of (he past year, are: Atlanta 65, Baltimore 50, Birmingham 156, Bridgeport 92, Buffalo 87, Chicago 28, Denver 21, Duluth 61, Grand Rapids . 88, Jersey City 120, Little Rock 100. Louisville 128, LOb Angeles 37, Minneapolis 81, Memphis - 36, Mobile 76, Newark 88, New Orleans 18, Philadelphia 45, Pittsburg 18, Portland, Ore., 166, Rochester 88, S(. Louis 41, St. Paul 11, San Antonio 80, Scranton 47, Seatle 37, Spokane 33, Salt Lake City 138, Topeka 161, Tacoma 74, Worcester 77. The reaction In Greater New York amounts to 30 per cent, although the boroflgh of Brooklyn made a gain of 16 per cent dur ing thla time, and the aggregate gain of 57 cities Is 81 per cent. The losses are mostly confined to smaller cities, as shown in the table of statistics: July, July. July, July, 1909. 1905. 1906. 1905. City. Coit. Cost. City. Cost.

No one thinks for a moment tlmt there Is any chance for a Republican to be elected governor of Texas at the present time. The Republican party •self Is badly split In the state, with two tickets In the field. Qreen Is the nominee of what Is termed the "reor ganized" faction, which Is making war on the element of which Cecil Lyun is the recognized leader. But whether or not young Qreen has a ghost of u show of winning out, hla candidacy la bound to give ginger to the Texas campaign this foil.

Thus ends the friendship that has been heralded far and wide os the feminine prototype of Damon and Pythias, and Incontro vertible proof that women can enter tain an unselfish and faithful affection for each other.
