We cordially Invite the co-operation of our esteemed contemporaries of The Journal and The Constitution In the fight which we are making In behalf of the people for cheaper gaa and better service on the street railroads and In our electric lights. The Journal has declared Itself to be a friend of the people and every public Interest In which the people are Involved. We have great regard for The Journal, and barring some alight and occasional lapses from the high lines of courtesy and fairness, we believe It to be a great and useful newspaper. Wo are quite sure that The Jour- ual could not devote its energies and Its Influence to a better cause and to one In which the people are more 'vitally Interested than In this light for the essential com modities of lighting and of transportation. What railroad transportation rates and passenger tariffs are to the people of the state, street railroad trans portation is to the people of Atlanta, and The Journal, which ought to be as true a friend of Atlanta as it Is to the state, can scarcely refuse with consistency to stand by the people of Atlanta as it has so often professed Its loyalty to the people of the state. Now, then, here la a case where the citizens of At lanta, rich and poor, and more particularly the people who use gas and electricity, are profoundly concerned both In their pockets and In their prosperity for the Is- ' sue which has been raised. We should be particularly pleased If The Journal would loin The Georgian In Ita effort to secure for the people of Atlanta cheaper gas and a more honest and equitable estimate of the amount of gas which they actually consume. If The Journal will Join us In this eminently necessary and public spirited effort In behalf of the people, we promise The Journal in advance that there shall be no wrangling over the credit due for the success of the work. If the effort shall bo successful, we shall not at any time remind The Journal that we were the first to start It and shall not seek to absorb any greater degree of credit than la our due. And the same assurances we cheerfully offer The Constitution In this matter. The Constitution Is n paper wltlv a great and honorable record. It jt the oldest paper In the city and one of the oldest In the state. We have never believed that It was loss than true to the city or to the people, and if The Constitution will lend the weight of Its name and of Its Influence In this struggle, we shall be only too happy to Indulge In mutual felicita tion If the three of us shall be able to accomplish this good work for the people of the city which Is dear to ns all. We are quite confident that If The Constitution and The Journal will join with The Georgian In this fight which they know to be right and which they know to be necessary, that we shall In our combined strength be able to effect a very desirable reform and n most necessary savjng to the people who so largely support u* with- their subscriptions and with their advertising cards. We nre not in this fight for any particular prestige which It may bring to The Georgian. It Is our desire to serve the people of Atlanta, and It we can best serve the peo ple of Atlanta by marching shoulder to shoulder with our Influential and always esteemed contemporaries, there shall be no heart burnings or bickerings or small envy ing! as to who has been the most Influential or the most effective when a tho light Is over. And to, once more, we cordially and heartily Invoke the co-operation of our able and esteemed contempora ries In our effort to secure for the people of Atlanta cheaper gaa and a more considerate handling of the great question of urban and suburban transportation. The Y. M. C. A.’s Great Work. The current Year Book laaued by the Young Men’s Christian Association shows that the organisation, dur ing the past two years, baa Increased In numbers equal to the total membership of the association thirty years ago. It Is always gratifying to the friends of moral and uplifting Influences to know that the association Is flour ishing and the figures just Issued bear out the hope In every particular. The total world membership la now 406,789, which, as we have said. Is an Increase of 32,000 In two years. The report for 1904 showed an Increase of 118,000 since 1900, while the figures for 1906 Indicated a* great a growth In the five years then ending as had marked the 47 years gone before. It may be true, as la sometimes contended, that church attendance Is falling off, but the country cannot wholly go to the bad so long as this noble work Is kept up. A large measure of Its success la attributable to the fact that the Y. M. C. A. has been constantly broaden ing Its scope. Ita educational efforts. Its social features, and perhaps more than anything else the opportunity it affords for physical development have all contributed toward bringing Into membership thousands of young men every year who are thus trained, mentally, physical ly and spiritually. In the most delightful and yet ever- uplifting environment. It la a significant and pleasing tact that In the 464 gymnasiums, in the swimming pools, the athletic fields and the bowling alleys conducted by the association more than 163,000 men and boys are now taking regular and systematic exercise.* There are nearly 40,000 enrolled student! In the educational classes. It was s noble mind In which the Idea was first born to establish this great work, where good training might be bad nnder Christian Influences, without giving any austere aspect to religion. Atlanta la particularly proud of her own Y. M. C. A. Its ofllcers and directors are doing a great work and the membership represents the best in the young man hood of the city. We trust that it will grow and prosper with each succeeding year. Bryan and His Sunshine Friends, It is interesting to note the gyrations of poli ticians, journalistic and otherwise, around the for tunes of William J. Bryan. And it is not inspiring to one’s admiration for his fellowmen to observe the eagerness with which the most of these fellow sacclaim Bryan when he is riding the crest of the wave, and how timorously they shrink away from him when any consecutive criticism is leveled at his utterances. There have been many such ebbs and flows in the tide of the great Nebraskan’s fortunes. Just before the national convention of 1904, and im mediately following upon the triumph in the pri maries of that great mistake, Alton B. Parker, the popularity of William J. Bryan was in a very, dis tinct eclipse. The papers even of the South were saying some very unkind and disrespectful things about him, and among the dailies of derogation were some into whose windows we could throw a stone from our own roof without regard to corners. The scrapbook which contains these interesting ef fusions is not yet in demand. When the “Great Commoner”—every whit as great then as now—visited Atlanta during this pe riod, it was sorrowful to see how the leading politi cians got away from- town, and but for gallant and loyal young Democrats of the Young Men’s League, the greatest of Americans would have had a cold reception in the capital of Georgia. And here a few weeks ago, when the Princess Irene was steaming across the seas bearing its illus trious freight to a world-beating welcome, the very air was thick with the adulations and the protesta tions of “Democrats in our midst” who had been in the ice box in 1904. It was a race to lead the procession Bryanward. And now upon the breath of a few criticisms from the ultra conservatives of the party upon ut terance in the Bryan speech, these timid time-serv ers are once more shrinking into their shells and seeking cover in case of a possible rain of corporate protest. Among the thousand faults to which we plead guilty the sin of the turn-eoat is not among them if we know it. Time of all times when we wore truest and most loyal to Tom Watson was when he was at the ^icighth of his unpopularity with the party 4o which we belong. We were his friend when he needed friends, anj his defender at a time when some of his “friends of the hour” were prick ing him with pens and insulting him with cartoons. The time of all times when we were most loyal to tho fortunes of Bryan was in-that period pre ceding and following the St. Louis convention, when he was tho target for the malevolent and un grateful paragraphs of those who had split tho air with his praises in tho zenith of his popularity. It was just then in thaf hour of shadow and eclipse that wo wrote the prophecy which Augustus Thom as recalled os fact in his speech of introduction in Madison Square, that “if Bryan lived for twenty years and maintained the levels of his present integ rity, that ho would stand to this country as Wil liam E. Gladstone stood to England and to the world—as the Great Commoner of his time.” It has come sooner than wc thought, but we al ways knew it would come. Let me whisper to you osteomed contempora ries of a timid mind toward greatnesa one sub stantial fact: This great man of Nebraska is here to stay. He may have his ups and downs in the agreement and dissent of the public with his views. But he will not fade upon the canvas whereon his generation has limned hi mas a great man. Chief among his achievements is the fact that he has convinced his countrymen and the world of his sincerity. They believe in his truth, and they trust his integrity. Then, too, in every advocacy that he fathers thero is n high, clear moral note which has always ruled and will always rule, and should always, rulo the world. Bad as men may be, they turn to goodness as the meadows to the rain—the flowers to the aun. And Bryan ia a fixed star iu the political con stellation of the times. You may as well remain on the Bra.vn band wifgon, our timorous friends. He may or may not he president, but he will never be less than a vast potential force among the parties and principles of the American government while he lives. The Jubilee edition ot The Baltimore American Is one of the handsomest special numbers ever Issued In the South. Its forty pages reflect the magnificent achieve ment of the city, particularly since the disastrous Are. It Is rich In Illustrations and on the whole la highly creditable to The American and to Baltimore. McLendon of Thomas. The voters ot Georgia will rarely have had an op portunity to vote for a Georgian of the highest, gentlest and cleanest typo than In the candidacy of tho Hon. Guyt McLendon for railroad commissioner In the Octo ber election. Tho editor of Tho Georgian has known Mr. Mc Lendon for more than thirty years of personal Intimacy. We knew him in the flush of his vigorous youth when tho great Ben HfH pronounced one of his speeches in the legislature of 1880 to be the ablest legislative utterance of the year. We knew him during the long years of his connection with the great railway systems of the South west, out of which he came without criticism and with out stain. We knew him, too, in the period In which health was stolen from him by overwork, and we re call how In those shadowed years that must have com passed such wealth of suffering and disappointment and Imprisoned ambition, be bore himself unfailingly with the gentleness, the cheerfulness and the unselfish courage which stamps the truly great, and baa come out of them, tempered as by Are to clear Ideals, to crystal comprehen sion of affairs, and to the largest and most substantia^ equipment for service to the state. No man who'offers for an office this year in Georgia Is better equipped and qualified to All It with character and attainment than the convention's candidate for the railway commission. We have no criticism to make of Mr. Thomas Cren shaw. He has a right to run as a Democrat or as an In dependent for any ofllce that he seeks. But knowing .McLendon, of Thomas, as we know few men. and knowing the caliber of bis attainments and the purity of his character, we simply congratulate the voters of Georgia upon the opportunity to stamp the seal of their approval upon a public and private character so clean, so capable and so loyal as his. The Tabernacle Lyceum Course. There can be no good reason why tho people -of At lanta should go without amusement and Instruction when such an array of talent Is offered at a nominal cost as that which will make up the Tabernacle Lyceum course for the coming season. The announcement of this list has been made, and season tickets are now on sale for all eight of the at tractions at a cost of one dollar. The Tabernacle Lyceum has been a great success In the past and has had a generous patronage,, but the program for the coming season will be still more attrac- Uve and the indications are that the attendance will be the largest In the history of this excellent organization. This course, which comprises music, oratory, wit, hu mor and the whole gamut of entertainment, would easily be worth five dollars, but by purchasing tickets within the next three days they may be had for the nominal sum stated. When fifteen hundreds tickets have been sold, two additional attracUona will be secured, making ten In all. As an educational Institution, tho Tabernacle Lyceum Is In the very forefront and It is growing in favor every year. It richly deserves the patronage of the people and we have no doubt that it will be accorded It In liberal measure. All dates for the entire season have already been fixed and will be printed on the ticket. A ROUND OF GEMS BY GRACE KIRKLAND !!' T t THE RECKONING.

Nooks and Corners of, American History The New York Tea Party. By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY All the world -has heard, over and over again, of the Boston Tea Party™ the famous function which came nit Z the 16th day ot December, 17-3 Not so extensive, by any means 1, the fame of the New York Tea Party which was planned on the very day ot tho Boston function, but which, owtn. to no fault of the New Yorkers Ma ! for some little time delayed. ' • John Flskje, In his “American R fvo . lutlon,” says of the Boston Tea Party that it was “an event so great that general!, Growth and Progress of the New South Under thla head will appear from time to time Information Illustrating tha remarkable development of the south which deserves something more than pass* log attention. Increased Consumption of Cotton. N Secretary Hester, of the New Orleans cotton exchange, announces that the South’s consumption ot cotton during the fiscal year, which ended with Ailgust, was over 2,374,000 bales, which was an Increase of practically 200,- 000 bales over the year before. This Is a substantial Illustration of the rapidity with which the cotton Industry of the South Is expanding and gives us a clear Idea that within the next few years the supremacy, whjch Is so rapidly tending In this di rection will be complete. But while the number of balee consumed In the South Is Increasing year after year, It still remains true that our export of raw cotton Is Increasing— In fact, that the total amount of raw cotton exported last year passed the 8400,000,000 mark, and by far exceeded the value of any other merchandise sent out of the country. The exports of breadstuffs of all kinds aggre gated 8186,000,000, those of provisions but 8211,000,000, and those of Iron nnd steel manufactures but 8161,000,000. Within the past half decade, the value of cotton exported has grown from 8300,000.000 to 8400,000,000, an Increase of 31 per cent. The advance In the price of the staple has had much to do with this, for In 1906, 700,000,000 pounds less cotton was shipped abroad than In 1906, and yet Its value was 821,000,000 more. The American Cotton Manufacturer, of Charlotte, commenting on this, says: The greater pert of this cotton, of course, went' to Great Britain, Germany and France. Berently, however, there has entered the market for American cotton a new customer, who bids fair to play no Inconspicuous part In the future. Japan's taking of the raw product Is growing rapidly, her manufacturers having expressed a decided preference for the Ameri can staple. ’ ’ - The record of growth In exportation of raw material has been main tained In the department of manufactured products. In 1906, 868,000,000 worth of goods was shipped abroad, as against. 860,- 000,000 worth In 1806, and 880,600.000 worth In 1904. China Is the principal customer of American manufactured products, taking In 1906, 829,641,000 worth of cotton cloths, which was 82,000,000 worth more than the year previous. There Is every reason to believe that the trade In American manufac tured cotton products abroad, will Increase at a rapid rate In the next few years. The department of commerce and labor In Washington Is exerting Itself at It has not done In the past. Special agents ore being sent Into South America, Into Turkey, India, China and elsewhere, seeking Information that will aid American manufacturers In developing new trade territory. In ad dition to those already In the field, two experts of recognised worth were recently dispatched abroad for special work. A spirit Is beginning to man ifest Itself which Is making for larger and better things.- While the record for the past year In manufactured cotton products was good, It Is but a pointer to what Is to follow In the development of American textile trade abroad.

Isn't It about time Modern 8ehool vs. Old 8ehoel, Of course, whatever may be estab lished with reference to the Intellec tual product of the old schools of for mer days, a door will still be open for those who mourn the decline of morals and the disappearance of "old-fash- loned honesty" from the land. Just now we are right In the midst of lam entations of this sort. Those who In cline to optimism have newspaper and frenzied magaslnes thrust before their eyes to be converted by reports of In vestigation* Into various forma of “graft." We are told that men occu- K ylng positions of trust and honor ave been found wanting In the vir tuosi which are the very root of man liness and righteousness. All these things are true, alas! But are they the products of the modern school? Look at the men at whom an Indignant public Is pointing the finger of scorn. Their hair Is white, their eyes have long lost the brlghtnes of youth, their step Is tottering: they were trained In the "thoNSgl." school* of the past, whore the schoolmaster's word was law, where "lickin' an' I'arnln’" went hand In hand, where the three R* were the Supreme anxiety. The In vestigators of these men who have brought disgrace upon this country— they are the products of the modern school. Philadelphia was redeemed from polltcal slavery by the young men of the city. Almost everywhere the warfare upon “graft" has had Its be ginning In the rangs of young men, most of them graduated from college ? ithin the* last ten or twelve years. hese young men had Ideals and could not stand idly by while monstrous evils were threatening to corrode the very foundations of democratic Insti tutions. These young men founded good government clubs, not minding the scoffs of their cynical seniors. They organized vigilance committees to bring to task the betrayers of pub lic trusts, whom a diffident generation had lifted Into power.—Forum. The Brighter 8ide. It Is best not to think too much of the horrors of the Ban Francisco earth quake and fire. The great catastrophe Itself Is beyond the comprehension of all save Ita living victims. The work of the human ghouls and the fate meted out to them, the trenches filled with unrecognizable bodies, the ghastly remnants lying among twisted steel and crumbling stone, should be forgot ten. As for the rest, all will come out right. A little story which comes over the wires undoubtedly applies to hun dreds of cases In Ban Francisco, and pictures one aspect of the situation there.

American historians have failed to do It Justice.’’ \ " The New York Tea Party was in every sense of the word as great as the Boston affair, and the same may b. said of the tea party held on the nth of October, 1774, by the womre of Edenton, North Carolina, and yet "th« are scarcely mentioned, save by historians. 1 So soon as tho bill putting the t» T on tea had passed the British perils, ment, the people of New York passed the following ringing resolution- “Resolved. That whoever shall aid or abet. _or In any manner assist In the Introduction of tea from any „| a „ whatsover Into this qolony, while It li subject, by a British act of parliament to the payment of a .duty for the pur. pose of raising a revenue m America, shall be deemed an eUemy to the liber, ties of America.” On the 16th of December—the very day of the Boston Tea Party—the New York Sons of Liberty met In City hall and swore by their homes and fire sides, by their wives and children by the country that they loved and ihe lib- erty for which they were readv to die that not an ounce of tea should b« landed In New York. This patriotic oath was taken upon hearing that the ship with the hated tea was nearing the port and might be expected at any hour. It was a false alarm, and It was not until the following spring, April is 1774, that the Nancy, Captain Lock- yer, arrived off Sandy Hook bringing the tea destined for New York. Captain Lockyer very naturally wnnted his ship piloted up the harbor, but no pilot could be found who would render the desired service. The cap. tain then asked that he be permitted to go up .to the city to see his ma- slgnee. This was granted upon the understanding thnt he was not to go near the custom house. The consignee when seen positively refused to touch the lea, and advised the captain to take It right back to England. In the meantime the committee of vigilance took possession of the Nan cy's boats to prevent the escape nf her crew. A few days after his ar rival Captain Lockyer, being a level headed. sensible man, and taking In the situation Just as ft was. wisely con cluded to take his tea back to Eng land. He was escorted to the foot of Wall street, bv the Softs of Liberty, who fired a salute a» he left them at ihe water's edge on his way to the Nancy. A guard from the vigilance committee remained with the ship until she had got several miles beyond San dy Hook. Captain Chambers, of the London, denied that he had tea on board his ship, but finally confessed that he had a certain number' of casks of his own, with which the East India Company had nothing to do. But the Sons ef Liberty were opposed to ten about that time on general prin ciples, and they Immediately withdrew for deliberation to a coffee house at Pearl and Wall streets. The result of the deliberation was to the effect that the ten should be de stroyed. By a unanimous vote the tea was confiscated, and by resolute hands was taken out of the ship's hold, tho chests broken open and the contents scattered upon the wnters of the river. There was no loud noise, no violence. It whs the calm, deliberate, determined atclon of men who had sworn that they would not be taxed by an assembly In which they had no representation. Such was the New York Tea Party— an event which, In the language ol John Flske, "historians have generally failed to do Justice." Street Railway for Amtrleus. Hpeclsl to The Georgian.
