THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN- MONDAY. SRT'TKMnnt in. 19f«. The Atlanta Georgian. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES, Editor. F. L, SEELY, Prefldent. Subscription Rates: Published Every Afternoon Except Sunday by THE GEORGIAN CO. at 25 W. Alabama Street, Atlanta; Ge. Catered ae eeeend-ctaes natter April BE, ISOS, at the PoetoClt* at Atlanta. Oa.. under act of congress of March 1 ITt*. One.Yesr $4.50 Six Month* ....... 2.SO Three Montht 1.25 By Cxrrler, per week 10c The State Fafr Next. Thirty day* from today the gatea of the state fair will be thrown open to the public, and not only the state of Georgia but the entire South It tip-toe In expectation of the magnificent exhibition which la promised for the occasion. Some of the exhibits are already arriving In the city and the Improvement* In the buildings and grounds are well under way. Two thousand dollar* will be spent for this purpose alone, and when the work Is done the fair grounds for this year of grace will be prettier and more attractive than they have ever been before. That they will be thronged with visitors aa never before I* already Clearly Indicated. The first week will be devoted to what many look forward to with the greatest degree of Interest—the home coming week for all Georgian* wherever they may be. The sonn and daughter* of this state who have gone forth Into other parts of the country to make their home will be glad to meet and mingle here once again. Not only will they have the pleasure of seeing the loved ones they have left behind, but this will be a common meeting ground for Georgians from every part of the country. It la said that there la one county out In Colorado which I* almost entirely made up of Oeorglan*, while the natives of this state who have made Texas their home run up Into the hundreds of thouMnds. In a few short days there win be a touch of autumn la the atmosphere and the mind of the public will natur ally turn to the coming festivities. At that time there will be practically nothing to distract our attention from the celebration, and It la the duty of every Atlantan and of every Georgian to do everything In hla or her power to make the fair of 1906 the greatest In our history. The Best or Nothing. The smsoq at the Casino, out at Ponce DeLeon, has closed, and a delightful lesson It has been. The park Itself will be kept open for several weeks longer, prob ably until alter the state fair, but in the playhouse Itself the "spots” are out, tbs actors fled, and all the guests departed. It was originally the purpose of the management to continue the Casino Itself for a few weeks longer, but genial Jake Wells, who Is at the him time always considerate for the beet Interests of the people who pat ronlie the theater during the good old summer months, did something which Is entitled to something more than passing mention, end should be commended to the at tcntlon and emulation of other manager* throughout the country. - Nobody oxpects a dollar-and-a-half show for fifty cents, but there Is a certain excellence which they do demand. Mr. Wells could have procured vaudeville attraction* of a certain kind for several weeks to come, but after looking them over personally he decided that they were not up to the standard of the Casino and he promptly decided to close the theater rather than take advaatage of the people by giving them something which wa* not up to the mark. ft was a high-minded thing to do. and at the tame time it Is this sort of thing that pays, after all. The people will remember this when the Casino opens nsxt year end they will -have all the more confidence In any promisee he may make. He and Manager Cardoza will now devote their time and attention to the Bijou and to that new and better Bijou which Is Just ahead of us. No community should be without Its Jake Wells •nd Hugh Cardoxa. The Passing of the Straw. Tbs tiro* has come for the passing of the strew. A few of them are lingering superfluous on the brow, even as Indian summer lingers In the lap of her elder sister, but they are turning as brown a* the stubble fields and impress us as a memento of the days that ace dead. In northern latitudes they have largely pasyed away. On the floors of the wicked stock and produce ex changes the memter who absent-mindedly appears with onn of these outlawed bonnets Is rudely awakened aa t,o the change In the calendar by having It boldly torn to piece* by a lot of Joyoni bulla and bears who for the mo ment lay aside graver matters to redeem the ancient honor of the guild. An Atlantan who has recently returned from the Windy City relates that be was walking along 8tate street when he henrd tin cry of a gamin. "Shoot the bon net,” to which he paid no attention, but when the cry swelled, with now an t then the variant, "Didn’t you hear those bells ring on September If” he finally realised that hla mildewed straw waa the cynosure of all eyes, aud forthwith he went Into a hattery and bought him the latest block In which the au fait derbies come. Something of the same kind la occurring all over the North, and from that same Chicago comes the news of a novel method by which the women of the city have made It their special business to clear the streets of the offending derelicts. An enterprising hstter has brought out s small model of a hat, painted blue to enhance Its absurdity, on the front of which is attached a button bear ing the legend "13 4 U. Straw hats sklddoo." These little miniature hats are placed at the plate of husband or brother at breakfast, they are placed on his office desk, they are thrust under hla nosh when he rlaeth up and when he lleth down and wherever they can make him afraid, until life becomes one grand, fierce protest and he has no recourse but to go forth and pur chase e new tile In keeping with the season. It Is presumed that the women who have taken the lead in thla movement belong to the civic league, prob ably with the atd sad assistance of the health depart ment At any rate It Is a worthy and effective effort to bring the people of a great metropolis up to date. It is hoped that the people of Atlanta will not be forced to re- tire under the fire of such ridicule. The fact of the matter la that they nre so entirely up to date that they are already discarding the out-worn straw, and In all likelihood will be Importing a lot of the "sklddoo" novelties last for the fun of the thing long after the straw bat Itself has gone. The first touch of autumn strikes here as early, in i business way, ss It does In any of the cities of more Northern latitude*, and w* need no such reminders aa this that It Is time to wake from such summer somno- j great and over-confident corporation the same le lence as ever prevails here and apply ourselves to the more active affairs of winter. The Spirit of One of Our Corporations. The trouble with the Oeorgla Railway and Electric Company, which controls the street railroads and the elec- trie plant and the gas plant which furnishes Atlanta, the fact that they hold their franchises and their op- portunttes In a harsh and arrogant spirit of Inconsldera- tlon for the people. We doubt If there Is a corporation In the whole South which la as little responsive to the wishes and expres sions of the people upon whom It mightily prospers as this corporation. It Is singular In view of the men who compose the corporation and control it, that they should assumed toward the people and towerd lust complaints and reasonable requests the attitude which It has nearly always assumed. Mr. Arkwright, president of the cam pany, le a gentleman of birth and breeding, an attorney of experience an da man of the world In the courtesies and amenltlts of life. Messrs. Brandon and Rosser are gen tlemen of character and responsive to the amenities In every other line of life. Colonel Tbod Hammond, at attorney of the company. Ip .one the first lawyers of ttte city and a ton of one of the best beloved men that Georgia has produced In recent years. And yet, with such a personnel this great corporation has treated more appeals with Indifference and with the con tempt of silence than any corporation enjoying the privi leges that com* from the hands of this people. Compere the attitude of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company and the Gas Company with that of the Southern Bell Telephone Company. The latter corpora tion Is frequently eubjected to criticism and complaint, whfoh la duly made both by Individuals and by at least one free voice of the public press. The answer of tbe Southern Bell Telephone Company to these criti cisms Is always kindly, urbane and considerate, evi dencing a high respect for public opinion, and they at least go through the motion of making an effort to correct iny defect In the system to which crlUcIsm hat been made. Take on tbe other hand the company owning the street railways and the electric light plant and tbe gaa plant. A few weeks ago The Oeorglan wrote an editorial couched In language of the highest courtesy, bearing tea- timely to the good work of the corporation, evidencing an Intelligent appreciation of the varioua difficulties which It hod to combet, and urging In conclusion most earnestly but politely upon the corporation to relieve the great congestion of travel In the rush of morning and eve ning hours by elthar Increasing the number of car* or by adding trailers to the cars alresdy running under tbe present schedule. To this courteous request not the slightest response was made, although we offered tho columns of our newspaper for the official! to state the sons why this could not be done, If they found It Im possible to oomply with this popular demand. A little later end at a time when this city was stirred to Its profoundest depths by the race question, and the reign of terror which existed In our suburban centers, we appealed once more to the company in thla serious crisis of our affairs to avoid tbe possible conflict of the racM by providing either separate cara for tbe negroes or some division which would avoid the possibility of con flict and disturbance. Thla request wa* also couched In the most courteous and considerate terms, and was rather an appeal than a demand. An expression was asked from the corporation with the friendly tender of our columns for a reply. To this second request made in the Mate spirit, no reply was made, but In tbls matter aa In other matters which come from Individual patrons tbe most tranquil Indifference and the most contemptuous silence was Illustrated to ward the appeal of those who are the patrons and the promoter! of these great enterprises. The experience of Individuals has been the same as the experience of this paper. Tbe corporations which own these franchises are arrogant and dictatorial and utterly contemptuous of public opinion. The Oeorgla Railway and Electric Company teems to have adopted the sentiment of Vanderbilt—"The public be damned"—and to have retained tbat as Its standard answer to com plaints which It seems to feel Itself able to override. We And It difficult to understand how a corporation like this which ha* been so roytlly treated by Atlanta and which la headed by men of character and Intelli gence should adopt a policy which Is so highly calculated to inflame the people against them and to antagonise public sentiment rather than to will It. A little klndneM and a little consideration and a little aoncaMlon on the part of these people would do much to soften the dis content of thousands of Atlanta people toward their sys tem and policies. A little courteous statement or even an explanation. It It were Impossible to grant In degree the demands of the public, would do much to relieve the an ger and to dlMipate the bitterness which Is growing In so many minds toward the arrogance and the arbitrary policies of tbe corporation. The Oeorgla Railway and Electric Company might learn a most wholesome lesson In this matter from the euavlty and politeness of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, which bridges many difficulties and many complaints by tbe simple courtesy and apparent consideration of Its officials toward tbe public. We recall In this connection that there was a time when this Georgia Railway and Electric Company con trolled tho ballots of Atlanta. How they did It we have sever been able to understand, although we have heard plausible explanation given. The fact standi that the corporation did control or waa supposed to control arbi trarily the politics of Atlanta. That hat been several years ago. Can It be possible that the uma corporation think* that It can still at any tlma It wishes control the politics of Atlantn and elect a council that will be subservient to Its will and pliant to It* policies? Is It poMtble that thla belief Is the basis of the arrogance with which It treats tho appeals and courteous requests of tho people made Individually or through their public representa tives? I* it possible that the corporation arrogantly be lieves that at any time it chooses to do so It can reach out Its strong hand and dominate tho city council and the politics of thla city? If this belief exists In the minds of the corporations we believe it Is a mistake. Tbe people have grown wlth- the last five years. The people are not so easily fooled. The people sre not so easily bought The public spirit has been quickened. In their honest judgment the newspapers of Atlanta are freer and more earnest than they have evor been before. We do not believe that the press, or the majority of the city press, can be subordi nated o rinlluenced at this time, and we confidently assert that If the Georgia Railway and Electric Company and Its various franchises think they can command and control the politics of this city In the election of councllmen and aldermen and mayors In order that their arrogant pollclea may be undisturbed In the future as in the psst. we do net hesitate to put them on notice here and now, that there 1* one paper at least, which will join battle with them In behalf of the people and that one earnest, honest, fearless and persistent effort will be made to teoeb this that tho state of Georgia has taught to kindred corpora tions that while wo would not at any time do them In justice, tbe people will demand that they themselves at all times should be treated with justice and with consid eration. A soft answer turneth away wrath and a consider ate bearing removes opposition, but contemptuous silence and arrogant Indifference will atlr the stones of Atlanta to rebellion and protest. And the Georgia Railway and Electric Company In Its various franchises may put this fact In Its plu tocratic pipe and smoke It. It will be an excellent excuse, In these days of un settled orthography, to say “My stenographer spells for me." The Apotheosis of James Hamilton Lewis. At the banquet given by the Jefferson Club In Chi cago to William Jennings Bryan last week one of the most notable Incidents wss the reception accorded to James Hamilton Lewis when he made hla way down the aisle to the banquet table. Mr. Liewla has been 111 for some time. The fact of the matter Is that he has overworked himself In his recent crurade against the tax dodger. He discovered that there was at least one large estate which had not been paying the amount of taxes to the city during the past few years to which the municipality waa justly en titled. This led him to make a general Investigation and as a consequence be found that there was not only one hut there were many such estates In Chicago which had not been contributing as they should to the general fund. By bis diligence he succeeded In placing hundreds of thousands of dollsra in the treasury, but In tho midst of his work his health gave way under the strain and he was compelled to go to a hospital for several weeks. His presence at the Bryan banquet was probably his first public appearance since hla Illness, and the cheers and applause which greeted him must have convinced him of the warm place be holds In tbe affections of the people among whom he has gone within recent years to make his home. Every one who really knows James Hamilton Lewis knows that be eminently deserved the reception accord ed him, and the people of Georgia know him very well, for he was born among- them. There was a time when the people of the whole country were Inclined to make a great deal of fun of Jamci Hamilton Lewis. He was a target for a great deal of good natured ridicule. He 18 a man of many peculiarities and this has placed him In the public eye. The New York Sun had a great deal to say about hla pink whisker* and his white spats, and other wise made all sorts of fun—to their own satisfaction. All of which James Hamilton—or Jim Ham. ns he came to be called by these alleged wits—took In the best of humor so long that a certain class of people imagined that he was a man of no particular force—that he was a poseur and a dandy. But there came a time on the floor of tbe house— for all tbls was while be was a congressman from the state of Washington—when a Republican member tried the patience of Lewis too far. He made a combined at tack upon Lewis and upon the Democratic party. This was too much for the member from Washington and he rose In bis wrath. From the very nature of the speech he made It must have been entirely ex tompore, but what he did to that offending member'waa more than enough. It has become a classic In the records of the house. Keen sarcasm, ridicule, facte, logic, history were all ar rayed In a masterly manner. His victim writhed and squirmed under the fierce fusillade of the Infuriated con gressman, but the steady, even, eloquent flow of rheto-. rid on Are continued for something like half an hour. And when he finished that member looked like a paper collar at a picnic. From that goqd day forward no one doubted tho elo quence and ability of the member from Waablngton, and whenever there was any probability of bringing down bis wrath they turned aside and said, like Josh,Billings, That’s that snax hole.” He waa defeated for re-election to congress, but he did not by any means retire from public life. He moved over to Chicago and among other things entered heart and soul into Dunne's municipal ownership cam paign. When Dunne was triumphantly eleeted Lewis,was chosen corporation counsel for Chicago, and he bps been discharging the duties of that office with conspicuous | ability. He Is not the man of pink whiskers and white spata any more. At least If he wears spats they are not regarded with any considerable amount of Interest. He Is making one of the best municipal officers Chi cago has ever had and Georgia Is proud to claim him as her own. H* should forgather with us a month from today when Home Coming week Is ushered In.

How Southern Banks Increased. The number of national banks or ganised In recent years Is a strong in dication of ths growth of the country at large, and In this growth ths South has shown a gratifying average for her own part. As Indicated by statistics R thered by the Manufacturers' Record, tween March 14, 1900, when the act went Into effect permitting the organ isation of national banks with a capi tal of less than 140,000, and August 11, 1000. there hav* been organised In the United Btatea 3,085 national banks with a capital of 8177,151,100. Of this num ber 110, or 3t per cant of the total, with an aggregate capital of 145,230,- 500, or 165.5 per cent of the total, are In tha South, the number by state* be tng shown In the following table: Slates.

Variations In the other Southern states are Indicated by the fact that while the 23 new national banka of Florida have an aggregate capita 12,660,000, the 28 of Arkansas 1 $1,720,000 capital, and while the 30 of Tennessee have 81,780,000 capital, the 31 of Maryland have 51,427,000 of cap ital. Uf toe new banks In tha United Slates, 2,018, or more than 05 per cent of the total, with an aggregate capital of 162,036,500, or nearly 10 per cant of the total new capital, are banks of capital less than, 160,000, whllt the 494 new banks of ths South, or nearly 61 per cent of ths total new ones In that section having an aggregate capital of 611,215,500, or nearly 10 per cent of the aggregate new capital of that section, are banks with Individual capital less than 150,000.

To the Editor of The Georgian; Not quit* two years ago I read an editorial In The Atlanta News, of which paper you were the editor at that time, entitled. In substance, "A Friend In an Allen Camp," which editorial dealt with the character, the record and the pur- pose of Thomas E. Watson. I Indorsed every word of that editorial. 1 felt thnt you, too, knew the man as I knew him. an honest, fearless and pure statesman. We differed with him two years ago. We saw nothing to be accomplished by his then tight. I frankly told him so In a trip between Atlanta and Kansas City, and added that we would need him In Georgia two year* hence In the fight against corporate control of this state, and that I feared that the cam paign he waa then making would nulli fy hla Influence In Georgia. I will never forget hla reply, nor the ex pression on hla fare, as we sat there talking In the smoking room of that sleeper, when he said In reply: "The difference between the,Democratic par- ty nnd the Republican party, ss enun ciate,! In their platform*. Is the differ ence between Tweedledum and Twee, dledee.’ The fires of Jeffersonian Dem ocracy must be kept burning. My cam paign Is for that purpose." How well he has kept those fires burning, the events of the last thirty days testify In abundance. “Honor unto whom hon- or is due.” The press has been filled with account* of receptions to Mr. Rrynn and approval of hla utterance*. The press of Georgia, dally anti week ly, have taken up tho cry and nre now In mad pursuit of the game, In nn ef fort to Jump on the band wagon. It Is the same press that damned Bryan In 1900 and damned him worse In 1904, and all of his kind. Mr. Bryan Is to day advocating the government owner ship of railroads. Mr. Roosevelt Is practically doing the some thing. Where was Brynn In 1000 and 1804 on that question? He side-stepped it. Where was Mr. Parker nnd his followers In 1004 on that question? Echo answers where. Where was Mr. Roosevelt and his party In 1004 on that question? The answer la that Ttddy has grown bigger than his party since he was elected. "Honor unto whom honor Is due." Who kept the fires burning for Jeffersonian Democracy, Including government own ership of railroads, In 190f? Ths an swer Is Thomas E. Watson and Thomas E. Watson alone. Government owner ship of railroads Is the Issue In 1008. Any blind man can aee that. “Honor unto whom honor Is due.” Who kept the fires burning? JAMES W. GREEN. Lawrencevllle, Go., Sept, t, 1108. NEITHER PLATITUDES NOR STRADDLE8. To the Editor of The Georgian: I read with pleasure closely akin to delight ihe statesmanlike and eloquent speech delivered by Hon. John Temple Graves—The Georgian's gifted “Jupiter Toaans”—at the Jefferson Club ban quet, Chicago, on the 5th Inst., In hon or of Mr. Bryan. That speech has the ring of true metal. It will live. It can not fall to prove Itself a source of Inspiration, as ws draw closer and closer to the great national political contest of 1908. Ths one* powerful and triumphant national Democratic party has mors than once had Its locks shorn by the Delilah of ‘‘platitude*.'* If we wish to win In 1008. w* must' announce a set of Jeffersonian prlnci pies and stand by them. . If you will go bark to the 'forties and 'fifties, to '88 and ‘02, study plat forms and results, you will remark the fact that Democracy lost whenever It generalised nr ventured to straddle. Democracy wss triumphant when ever Its declarations ns to Its position on “tha Issues of the day" were clean- cut and bravely put. Let's not search for the sensational. There nre Issues, vital to the people, on Which we can challenge the Republi cans to battle. Of all things, we shall need In 1908 "definite Democracy"—a declaration of principles so clearly presented that he who runs may read and understand, anil understanding, embrace. It waa on that kind of platform that Democracy triumphed In '44, In '52, In '55, In *84 and In ‘02. MARTIN V. CALVIN. Augusta, Ga. A VOICE FROM NEW YORK.
