In an In tervlow given to the press on Thursday, outlines a few of the principles which. In his opinion, should be em bodied In the pint farm of the Democratic convention of the state of Now York, which convenes at Buffalo on Tuesday of next week. He declares without hestltatlon or equivocation In favor of municipal ownership of publlo utilities. He not only believes that the cities should own the gas and electric light plants, but thinks that the traction utilities, "whether they be underground, surface or elevated," should be llkewlao owned by the municipality. This Is the platform on which The Georgian stands. It may be some time before wo are ready to take over the street car system, but the time Is already ripe for the acquisition of the gas and electric light plants. The people have been robbed and oppressed until pa tience has ceased to be a virtue. It la entirely practica ble for the city to own and operate the gas and electric light plants, and supply the people much more cheaply than la dono at present. They would not bo treated with the combined Inefficiency and Insolence which now mark the service/and at the same time It would mean a sav ing of thousands of dollars a year to the city nnd to the people, What Is true of Atlanta Is true of every other city In the country. There Is no more reason why they should not own and operate their gas and electric light plants than that they should own their own waterworks. The same principle underlies them alt. And the people of the whole country are raptdly ar riving at this opinion. The sontlmont Is growing all over the United Btates. There may be certain differences of opinion as to the federal ownership of rallroat^, and a great many honest doubts as to whother this Is tho prop er time to agitate that question, but the country Is be coming almost a unit on the subject of municipal own ership. The Packers Are Thriving. It Is a notable fact that In spite of tbe sensational exposure of the meat packing Industry during the past summer, the business of the great concerns engaged In It has shown a steady Increase. It Is stated that the shipments of meat during the month of July wpre 10,- 000,000 pounds heavier than they were for the corre sponding month Inst year nnd 67,000.000 |x>unds honvler than for the same month two years ago. During tho first seven months of the present year tho shipments of meat were more than 300,000,000 pounds heavier than they were during the same period last year. The Brooklyn Kufjlo says this does not mean that the returns of the falling off in the sales abroad reported during tbe Investigation were not true, but that these were more than overbalanced by the Increased sales of dressed moats and of hog products bought by the South In exchange for Its enormous cotton crop. There Is an Impressive lesson In this latter fact which tho South should take to heart. That the bumper crop of cotton was a mistake, particularly when It Is taken In connec tion with the fact that the farmers neglected to raise home supplies and figured largely In the purchase of hog products at the very time the Investigation was going on. Is a fact which only needs to be stated In order that wo may catch the full Import of the status of affairs. But the moral of It all, on which we are engaged at present, is Just what Mr. Armour confesses, thnt "the ef fect of the new Inspection service Is fast recovering" the trade for thy nt. We can all recall what a furore was raised when the charges against the big packing houses were being made and Investigated. Congress was flooded with pro tests from the cattle raUers who declared that tho agita tion would rulu them. They created the Impression that If this scandal was not hushed up and the public mind tranquillized, disaster of tho most dire kind would fall ui>on the men who raise tho meat and upon nil who are Interested In the slaughter and sale of It. But the fact Is that this clarifying of the atmosphere and of the slaughter houses has given the people confi dence In the pucker which was never enjoyed before. The matter has been placed squarely up to the agricultural department of the government. If canned goods are sent out after October 1, bearing as they most the Inspection label of the government, and It la found that the con tents are not good, the people will hold the government responsible for It, and the administration under which such Inefficiency prevails will have to answer to the people at the poll*. The effect of It all should be to encourage the gov ernment In applying rigorous laws In the future to any great industry which may require regulation. Wherever the life or health of the people may be Imperiled It Is the duty of the government to Interfere. There will be a storm of protests, as usual, cooked up by the Interests directly affected, but that should be taken as a matter of course. It should be discounted at the very beginning. We have seen that this purification has served a good purpose, even for those directly Interested, and the same would be true again. Let the good work go on, whenever uud in whatever quarter It may be necessary. OUR PLATFORM— 1 The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s owning its own j gas and eleetrie light plants, as it now owns its water works. Other cities do j } this and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should be j done at once. The Georgian believes that if street railways can be operated sue- j cessfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can j not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it may 5 be some years before we are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta ‘ should set its face in that direction NOW. >••••••t••••••t*ga«4f•••*••••«•••••••••••••< The Awful Shadow Again. Two attempted outrages within a single day, one In tbe Immediate suburbs, and one In the very heart of tbe city, bring us face to face with the social problem of our times once more. It adds a peculiar aggravation to these cases to note the boldness, the audacity and the time of day In which they were perpetrated. One was In the open daytime In the backyard of a private residence In bold defiance of possible Interference and deteeUon, and the other, worse than the first, right In the lighted parlors and rooms of a city residence In the presence of the entire family, sav ing the man of the house, and proceeding from an as sault upon the daughter Into an assault upon the mother In swift succession. There Is something more than monstrous and surely something less than human about those two assaults of yesterday. They follow fast upon the most strenuous ag itation that this city has ever known along peaceful lines for the suppression of vice. They follow upon the most ac tive co-operation which the white race has ever had from leaders of the negro race to denounce and condemn the crime of their race. They come Just after the addition of 36 county policemen and 250 deputy sheriffs to the official law force of the county of Fulton, and yet so far there Is no definite proof that but one of these fiends has been ap prehended. Those who have families and ^have discussed this matter around tbe breakfast tables of this morning and the supper tables of yesterday, can understand the min gled feeling of apprehension and of outrage which Alls tho pulses of men and women In this community. Now then, men and brethren, what are we going to do about these things? It has been demonstrated that lynch law while It may deter In some Instances, does not by any means pre vent the recurrence of these crimes. We have nothing In the world to complain of In tho vigor, the earnestness, and the fidelity with which the negro leaders have co operated with tbe white man In the denunciation of this crime. We have nothing to complain of In the vigor with which the county officials have done their part In this emergency. Wo have nothing to complain of In the vigor and promptness with whloh private cltlxens have rallied to the help and cooperation of the soveral families who have fallen under the shadow of this awfnl crime. We have nothing to complain of In the prompt and vig orous action of the officers and of the law, barring the fact that at least two of these human fiends have not as yet been apprehended by all the skilled vigilance of these slouths of Justice In command. Yet with all of this the fact still stares us In the face that right In the capital of Goorgla in a single day under our quintupled police system, and under the most auda cious circumstances, with tho most astonishing reck lessness, these monstrous and unspeakable fiends have attempted their hellish crimes and have made an even break with Justice In escaping so far the stern vigilance of the law. Now, then, what are we to do about it? The Geor gian confretses that it Is staggered under the weight of the question which It asks. We only know one thing, that wo cannot afford to do nothing and that we must do something not as individuals, but as a people. The time has come when behind closed doors the thoughtful men of this community must get together nnd spend whatever portion of one day or of many days may bo nec essary to reason out this awfnl problem, and to reach some definite line of action upon which we can all agree and upon which we can faithfully co-operato. We are up against the most serious and frightful phase which our civilization has ever reached. It is no time for hysterical expression, no time for mad words of furious passion, and above all things no time for hasty and 111 considered action. Calmly, reasonably, philosophically, the thought ful men In this community should get together and study, as the problem of the hour. Just where this vile and hellish lust has its origin and Inspiration, and Just how far the agencies of our human civilization can avail'to halt It. Certainly we cannot fall to make the the effort to reach a solution In the combined Judgment of c^ur wisest cltlxens. There must be somewhere a germ of this noxious pestilence to be found. There must be somewhere In our civilization the wisdom and force to eradicate It. Meantime there is not a home In Fulton county that Is not dally and hourly under the shadow of an awful terror thnt Is scarcely less keen In daylight than after darkness comes to hide the criminal and his wofk. We arc thoroughly convinced that It Is not a crime for which we can attack the negro as a race. This much has been demonstrated by the swift responses of the ne gro leaders within the month. It is a crime of Individuals now nnd the highest experts In criminology whom we can summon to our assistance should be brought to give us their Judgment and their counsel In t'jts hour. Tho Georgian suggests that there could be no time or day more appropriate to tbe serious and earnest consid eration of this tremendous question than on Sunday af ternoon when business men are at leisure, and when the very solemnity of the day would temper our discussions with calm nnd serious earnestness. Wo make the suggestion. If It can meet with public approval, thet .he opera house, cither DeGIve's Grand or the Bijou, shall lie asked for a public meeting behind closed doors of all the men In Atlanta who are think- Let the Courts Be Prompt. The one thing to be done In the qase of these two assaults of yesterday Is to give tbe people a long needed object lesson of the promptness and vlgqy of our courts o. Justice. There are two men tn the county Jail—one a proven criminal, tbe other a reasonable suspect. They ought to be tried and punished or liberated In a week. Tbe courts are on trial before the people In this matter. They must vindicate by their swift action the argu ment and plea of tbe lawful-minded, or they will surely revive and whet the vigor and ferocity of the mob. We urge upon his honor of the court having Jurisdic tion, to lay aside all material business and give these cases precedence over everything else on the docket. Our legal condlUone should not hold tor a day longer than Is absolutely necessary, the minds and feelings of these shadowed families under the tension of horror and indignation which Justly Alls their veins. It the courts will dispose of these cases in a week, they will help mightily to restrain the lyncher. If they delqy and shilly-shally the mob will take fresh courage and go forward In Its work. It ts up to the courts now clear and sharp. What will they do about It? LAMAR HILL'8 GOOD WORK.—The Georgian extends Its felicitations to Mr. Lamar Hill upon the admirable way In which he has borne himself during the Bryan reception as the president of the Demo cratic League. He Is perhaps the youngest man who has ever held that position tn the history of this league In Georgia, and there are hundreds of his friends who have noted with pride the combination of dignity, unselfishness, self-effacing modesty, and yet clear-headed comprehension and executive ca pacity with which this young man has fulfilled the first public responsibility ever committed 19 bis charge. Mr. Hill comes from a noble race o fstrong men and good women. He has tho blood of some of Georgia's best public servants, tn hts veins, and we sincerely join our best wishes to our confident pre dictions of his continued usefulness and growth. Two hundred thousand copies of Winston Churchill's book have been sold. That many people would almost have secured his nomination for governor. To The Wasnlngton Post: passing. Castro appears to be "ANOTHER APPEAL TO 8CRIPTURE." To the Editor of The Georgian; Your correspondent, who signs, "Scotch Irish Christian," has given to your renders a charming specimen of the humor of hts race. To the Initiat ed all Is clear, and we smile grimly In recognition of his meaning. Hut to those who fall to comprehend his mood there comes a ready accep tance of his euggeetlon, to adopt the methods prescribed for a nation or peo ple for long centuries In bondage, hav ing no places of detention for law breakers these naturally resort to ex treme measures in dealing with offend er. Man often speaks and acts calling It the Word, or act, of God, and placing responsibility for such word and act upon the All Wise God. If the average man accepts the processes Indicated by your correspondent and It Is Bible teaching, having gone thus far may he not consistently go farther, and In other portions df Scripture find war rant for greater reforms and penalties' In family government we are In structed In Deuteronomy xxl, 18-31, thus: "If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of hts father, or the voice of his mother, and that when they have chas tened him, will not hearken unto them; then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him unto the elders of hie city, and unto the gate of hie place; and they shall say unto the elders of his city, 'This our son Is stub born and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he Is a glutton and a drunk ard.' And all the men of his etty shall atone him with stones, that he die; so shall thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear and fear." This seems clear and concise. If we accept the earlier proposition as bind ing. why not tho latter? The "Hewing In piece of Agog" might furnish a remedy for present method of Imprisoning captives taken In bat tle. Indeed, much may be learned by examination of Old Testament Script ure, but to some there wilt come a knowledge that a "New Gospel" has been made known to us. "A new com mandment give I unto you that ye love one another." "He that hath ears to hear let him hear." WILLIAM RILEY BOYD. mil earnestly uud anxious - upon this awful crime. Qrsln to Bread In Three Hours. From The Kansas City Journal. A record time for converting grain Ihto broad has been established by a Canadian farmer. Wheat which was In the sheaf at 3 o'clock In the afternoon was made Into scones before *. When operations began a wagon stood In the barn with about half a load of grain In the sheaf. Beside It was a thresher; connected with this was a gasoline engine. The engine was started, the sheaves were fed Into the thresher, and the grain was deposited In a bln. The power was then transferred to the cleaner, and the work of changing the newly threshed whoat Into Hour was quickly carried through. The rest of the task was easy. HOUSEHOLD HINT8. By Wex Jones. The best way to clean old gloves; throw them away and buy new. Some people are very fond of cana ries. So are some cats. This should be remembered If you want your little feathered alarm clock to wake you In the morning. His song Is less muffled Inside a cage than Inside a cat. Try to be different. Get out of the rut. For Instance, most j>eople can make a stab at playing the piano with their hands, but how many can play with their feet? Practice this on your piano and surprise your friends. Nov elty Is the eternal cry. Even In Bmall, everyday things, don't get Into a me chanical, listless method. You always sweep the carpet with the same end of the broom?—of course you do. Be dif ferent next time; sweep with the han dle. Vary the monotony of cooking oc- custnrially by baking the soup and boiling the roast. Wear your shoes on your head sometimes. Get off a trol ley car backward once or twice. Don't be a mug. Fire the cook by 'phone from your husband's office. Then stay away from home until she's gone. This method is a great preservative of beauty. To remove wrinkles from the face and to acquire a pleasant expression. Induce ad uncle to die and leave you 1100,000. ‘ GIVE ME SALT, ’SA YS CORPSE, JUST IN TIME 70 PREVENT FUNERAL PREPARATIONS ! GOSSIP! By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. New York, Sept. 21.—The death at Boston of Freeman Barnes, a memheJ of one of the oldest and' wealthiest families of the Hub, ends a career as strange as any Action. Barnes was at work on an Invention and received fatal Injuries from an ex plosion of chemicals. For fifty yeers Barnes was a recluse. At the age of 21 he Inherited a fortune. The very next dny he married an heiress and the dav after that he started with his bride on a trip around the world. His wife wes swept oft the deck of the ship In a storm, "and Barnes re turned here and dissipated his fortune In a year. He was a drunkard for sev. cn years and then he reformed. Ho never tasted liquor again. He said his Invention would make him famous the world over. The ex plosion left no clew to the nature of the Invention. New York, Sept. .21 Physicians in St. Joseph's hospital today are discuss ing one of the moBt remarkable cases in the annals of medical science. Edward McElrcen, of Yonkers, after having been "dead" for two hours, was restored to life and today Is hale and hearty. In a street row two weeks ago Mc- Elreen was struck on the head with a wrench. At .St. Joseph’s hospital It was found that he had a compound fracture of the skull.

Sept. 21.—Roger O'Mara, the Pittsburg detective, today will make another attempt to persuade Harry K. Thaw to follow the advice of his coun sel and make Insanity his plea for killing Stanford White. Thaw's obstinacy in Insisting that he Is not Insane caused a breach between him and his lawyers, and his family, nlarmed at tho posilblc outcome, sent for O'Mara, who has great Influence with the prisoner. When asked If a difference existed bettveen him and hla client, Lawyer Hartrldge said: "Yes—no. I really don't know what to say.” POPE TO OPPOSE SEPARATION LAW Rome, Italy, Sept. 21.—During a con versation with a prelate, the pope ex plained his determination to issue an Interdict against any attempt to or ganize for worship in France according to the separation law. He said he was poweriesti to prevent persecution, but he would never tolerate schism. Rev. 8cully Resigns. Special to The Georgian. Columbus, Ga., Sept. 21.—Rev. Dr. 3- k. Scully has resigned as rector of Trinity church in Columbus. He Is now in the North, having been spending his vacation in New York city. Ing and hla body began to grow cold and the doctors pronounced him dead. Two hours later, when preparations were being made to take the body to the morgue, the “dead” man moved, and in a faint whisper, said: ”In God's name, give me salt." The hardened doctors sprang away, and two of the nurses screamed and al most fainted. The physicians ordered a nurse to hurry salt and water and a syringe to the patient. When the salt had been Injected into an artery the surgeons started artificial respiration.. Oxygen and serium were Injeced, and, after two hours' hard work, the patient showed slight signs of returning life. HOCH SAYS PARTY WILL NAME 'TEDDY 1 Governor of Kansas Says Republicans Demand An other Strenuous Term. JUDGE HILLYER EXPLAIN8 WHAT HE OBJECTED TO. To the Editor of The Georgian: Your reporter did not quote me ac curately yesterday. It was the bad pict ure in the New York paper that I was objecting to; not what was written from Atlanta, but the libelous cartoon gotten up by some Northern man and published before and, as you say, seen sure by perhaps over five million read ers who have such wicked and de praved hatred of the South as to make them relish such things against us, no matter how false they may be. It was the bad picture that did the harm. A great crow’d of masked men, some chasing negroes with dogs; some whipping negroes, nnd others hanging negroes to trees. It was this bad pict ure that deserved censure. I wonder that Mr. Hearst would allow it in his paper. It will not do to say that nobody be lieves such things, especially when al leged to be of constant occurrence. Yankees and Europeans do believe nearly everything slanderous about the South. The pity of It Is that they have been taught these unholy prejudices, even in the Sunday schools and in the pulpit for generations, and until they are ready to drink In any slander of the kind, and the bigger the falsehood the more they like it, apparently. Rut such things should make us stop and think. After all there are many good people In the world. Let us appeal to the good people here at home and at the North. Let us amend our laws so as to make pun ishment of rapists immediate and cer tain, and thus stop that crime, and also take away that excuse for lynch ing. The laws at the North are no better than they are here, and tynchlngs are increasing there Just as they are here. The reproach Is less on account of the lynching* than on account of the de fects In our laws; but most of all the blame lies with the brutal rapist who - >mmfts the crime. GEORGE HILLYER. Atlanta, Go. Topeka, Kans., Sept. 21.—Governor Hoch today told James Gravan, ot New York, that Kansas would lead in forcing Rosevelt to accept a renomina- tlon. He said: "Of course Roosevelt will accept. He can't get away from Jt. The Repub lican party is going to make him its next nominee for the presidency. He can’t help himself. Theodore Roose velt is a great man, but he will find that the Republican party is even greater. The Republican party de mands another term of Roosevelt.'" B. If, P, UNION HELD HELPFUL SERVICE The September meeting of the At lanta Baptist Young People’s Union, which was hold at tho Capitol Avenue Baptist church Thursday evening, Is one long to be remembered by those present on this occasion. A most excellent musical program was rendered, after, which the speak ers for the evening occupied the time most profitably. Rev. 8. A. Cowan mnda an exceptionally Interesting talk on the "Bible Readers' Course," In which he emphasized the Importance of studying the Bible, In order to become more qunllfled In Christian work. T. A. Teasdnlc followed with a talk on the "ConqueBt Missionary Course." show- ing wherein much could be derived from a systematic study of this course come cordially Mrs. Theodore p Shonts, wife of the president of the Panama canal commission, and the two charming Shonts twins, the Mlssea Marguerite nnd Theodora. Mrs. Shonts Is the daughter of ex-Governor Fran cis Marlon Drake, of Iowa, who dis tinguished himself as a general In the United States army, was the founder of Drake University, Des Moines, and who In various railroad Interests ac- cumulated vast wealth. This inherited wealth of Mrs. Shonts has been aug. menteil by that of Theodore Shonts, who also Is more than a millionaire, through fortunate Investments In rail- road stocks. Chicago has been what might be celled their home for years, but they have a winter home at Mobile: a sum mer cottage on a Northern lake and Innumerable trips across the Atlantic, which has made them known In almost all established social centers. l-ast year the twins graduated from the Mount Vernon Seminary, at Wash- ington, and went abroad, where the two have been studying music, literature and the languages before making their social debut. Miss Marguerite Is gift- ed with the pen, while Mies Theodora gives great musical promise. At the churt In June Mrs. Shonts, with her daughters, were presented by Mrs. Whiteiaw Reid, wife of our ambassa dor nt St. James. They remained In London several weeks, where they en tertained frequently at luncheons and dinners, making their home at the Ho. tel Carlton. They are to return to this country In November. James Burke Roche, former member of the British parliament, ts gathering evidence to obtain a divorce In the En glish courts from the woman who in America Is the wife of Aurel Batonyi, but whoso Dakota divorce from Mr. Burke Roche ts not recognized In Eng land. Those who pretend to know, say that the earnestness with which he Is seeking freedom may have something to do with his attention to ex-Senator Cockrell's daughter, who Is a noted beauty. Mr. Roche Is still In Parts, where he haa lived ever since his unlucky trans action with that torpedo destroyer which he sold to Russia during the late war and which makes his absence from England an enforced one. Ae regards the Botanyls, no one not even them selves know what their future movex will be. Mr. and Mrs. Waldorf Astor sailed today on the White Star liner Cedric for England. They used the same namo as when they came to America, Mr. and Mrs. J. Coolie Adams. Mrs. Astor's small son also sailed. Mr. Astor would not say why his name appeared on the sailing list oa Adams. The Rev. Mr. Charles Parkhurst has returned to New York and we may ex pect that the campaign will be greatly enlivened thereby. Mrs. Alice C. S. Judeon has begun habeas corpus proceedings against her former husband, Cyrus Field Judsim. millionaire clubman and grandson of Cyrus Field, in the supreme court tor the custody of Cyrus Field Judson, Jr.. her 8-year-old son, alleging that his father Is continually Intoxicated and unlit to care for him. Mrs. JudXon obtained n divorce In South Dakota last spring, the court giving her the custody of the children, but allowing Mr. Judson to see them at stated periods.
