Tribune 1(1.If.. Chicago. OUR PLATFORM—Tlie Georgian stands for Atlanta’s owning its own I gas and electric light plants, as it now owns its water works. Other cities do j 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 ir street railways can be operated sue- j j cessfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can j I not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it may j . operated j be some years before we are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta | TL I should set its face in that direction NOW.

No manuscripts will be returned unless stamps re Inclosed for the purpose. Our correspondents are rgently requested to abbreviate their letters as much impossible.

The little town of Kirkwood, Mo., Is making n con dom; or unconacioua hid for fame which is calculated o attract something more than passing attention. The outelde world ns yet has not been taken Into the onfldence of the moving spirits In the movement, so we annot say what Is the underlying motive, but an ordl- anco has been Introduced In tho municipal council taking lying a crime, punishable by a line of not less hnn $5 nnd not more than $100. If King David were live, and as hasty as ever In hla speech, ho might ay that the strict enforcement of this law would lenvo 0 one as turnkey or prosecutor. It would create rltlcal situation In any community to go out after the lars, the fibbers and the prevaricators, for the several agrees of which there would prosumably bo a sliding cale between the minimum and the maximum line. The proposed measure was not Introduced by a so ld committee from the Daughters of Dorcas or the ilnlsters' Union. The Society of tho Cincinnati had othlng to do with It. And who do you think did pre- are and present this measure? It wns a former nowspaper man from the city of it Louis! The natural Inference la that he has seen tho per- iclous Influence of lying In all the relations of life. His ewspaper career, particularly In St. Louis, brought him 1 Intimate contact with all forms of tho ovll. Of course e never did any of It himself. He was merely the In- trument employed to record what ho heard, but In that opacity he had ample opportunity to discover that rom the social butterfly who sends down word that aho i "not at home" to tho braien grafter who sweara to is own Innocence, mendacity was rampant In every ralk of life, He must have been ready, after a few years of such xperlence, to say both hastily tad deliberately that all aen are Hart. When he gave up the newepaper buslneaa aud wan- ered out to Kirkwood he was no doubt resolved that e would make a model community of it. The curfew lea had been worked to death before. There was no lunday baseball to rail against and Kirkwood was al- eady a dry town. So the best chance he saw of creating n sensation nd starting a moral uplift was to make It a mlsdemean- r to tell a He. He would hold up to the admiring gaae f the world one town In which there were thlrty-stx r seven Inches to every yard and nover lesa than seven- sen ounces to the pound. For no man, under peril of be law, would take any chances for the sake of a few unces or Inches. If the ordinance becomes a law and works woll, re may expect to hear further echoes of this crusade a the Interest of truth, but to be perfectly frank wo avs our doubts as to the feasibility of the plan. business of being funny or merely carrying It as a side line. There Is a very profitable lesson to be drawn from the life and the fortune of John Lawrence Toole. He made the people laugh until they shook millions of dol lars from their pockets and when the evil day* came and the years drew nigh when he was able to make them laugh no longer, they gathered about him In hi* home aud cheered his declining years, and enabled him to leave a comfortable fortune to those he loved and left behind. A Comedian’s Wealth. The will of John Iatwrence Toole, the celebrated Eng sh comedian, has Just been read, and It develop! that e left an estate of $400,000. With the consideration rhlch marked him In life, he did not fall to remember hts Id friends, and seventeen beneficiaries, chiefly actors, fere given substantial legacies. Toole was one of the most successful comedians of Is time. He had left the stage somo years ago, ami the rastnt generation scarcely remembered him, but he had rowned a youth of labor with an age of eaee, and he Jd not have to worry, like lo many actors, when the venlng of llfo began to settle down upon him. It would be difficult to classify Toole’s humor. It >as merely the inimitable manner he had of saying alngs—the Interpolations which he threw Into the writ- in lines, after the fashion of Will Kempe and the other clowns" of the Shakespearean period, who knew so welt ow to split the ears of the groundlings. It was simply the bubbling good humor of the man, thlch never deserted him on or off the stage, which cn- cared him to Jhe hearts of our English cousins of a gen ration ago. Since Teole flrst appeared upon the stage there have een countless aspirants for fame In "the legitimate” who ave risen, reigned more or loan successfully, and fallen, > i«ss from memory, and end their days, In all probabll- t. In some of the charitable Institutions established by ie actors for the aged members of their craft. The public did not want "the legitimate” hnl%ao much e It wanted to laugh, and It, was cordtally willing to pay ell and to pay long for the man who could give them jeh delicious fooling. And the fact of the matter Is that all the world wants its same buoyant good nature on the stage and In every elation of life. A little of "the melancholy Dane," for in- mnee, will go a long way with most people. It is Toole nd Joe Jefferson, and men of that stamp whom the sople go to see year after year. Likewise It Is the man with the "Sunny Jim" cast of luntenance who appeals to mankind. It Is the man ■1th the cordial grasp of the hand and the smile that would melt the horns off of Caprlcornus tho William *»L" who makes good, whether he Is engaged In the Let Us Have Municipal Ownership League. - Now then let us prnctlcallze Into action the dlscu*' slon and advocacy of the last few weeks. We confidently believe that the time Is ripe for the establishment of a municipal ownership league In Atlan- We think that the discussion which has been carried on In these columns, nnd which the reading of newspa pers and of current volumes has confirmed to this read ing and Intelligent people, ha* made the way open and the time opportune for the organisation of the forces that look toward this great and essential reform. The whole spirit of our democracy Is toward munic ipal ownership of public utilities. It Is the distinct trend and temper of the times. The city Is the condensation of the ages, the aggre gation of all that Is best In civilisation and all that Is worst In the realm of partlsansbtp. Municipal government Is the cry of the Umes. It touches us In our dally Ilfs a doxen or a score of Umes while the state or national government touches us but once. The smooth capitalist has bsen quick to note the rapidly growing values nnd enormous possibilities of pub lic franchises, and he has alto been alert to get the aid of the politicians in securing the privileges that ought to belong only to the general public. Self government la the basic principle of our Institutional jurisprudence retting upon historical and philosophic proof that justice and lib erty demand self-government, and that the management of our own affairs Is one of the most powerful means of elevating and educating the people. Oppression by an aristocracy of Industrial monopoly It at bad as oppres sion by a poetical monopoly. Although we have had given to us by our constitution the periodical selection of our masters and legislators, we have, by our negligence or by our Ignorance, permitted this great privilege to drift away from us, and Interested men have found It possible to elect legislators, local and state and national, who will guard and protect their schemes. We are governed by nn elective aristocracy which In turn Is largely controlled by an aristocracy of wealth. Behind the legislatures and congresses are the corporations and Vie trusts. Behind tho machines, the rings and the bosses are the business monopolies, the Industrial combinations and the pluto crats. Behind the political monopolist# are the Industrial monopolists. These facts aro established In the common sense and In the common observation of all the Intelligent people of tho cities and of tho states. We have suffered to much from the monopoly’s extortion and Indifference along these lines that the time haa come when the peo ple who are tho aource of power and the object of all government and the aupreme consideration of cities and states, must awaken to the comprehension of the rights they have loat and the rights they may regain, and to prepare for tho great future which Is before us by pro tecting those necessities ’and commodities of our Individ ual Ilf* from the grasp of selfishness or the arrogance of power, and to reconsecrate them to the good of the people at the lowest cost and along the most helpful lines. In other words we must begin now to diffuse among the ranks of tho people that authority and power which hae been too much committed to the syndicate! and cor porations. To push these and other reforms there should be formed a non-partisan league to educate the people to turn on the light In the dark places, to give the facts a persistent and Judicious emphasis, to permeate all par ties with the truth, to call every official to account, to de velop a civic conscience and to make every public ser vice a consecrated trust. This Is what The Georgian urges upon the people of Atlanta to do. We aspire to no leadership We desire no credit beyond the Indorsement of our own civic con' science In advocating this reform. Our columns are pledged to an unlimited extent to the advocacy and publicity of this organisation of the people. We urge upon thoughtful men to consider the ques tion and to act upon It like true men and good clttsens by becoming members of this organisation. We publish upon the front page, and there shall be published every day upon that page, a blank application for membership In the municipal league. It has no partisan significance and It Is no political scheme. Its one object It to give back to Atlanta every franchise that It can secure, and to give to the people the commodities of life at the lowest cost and In the most convenient manner. It it a practical public question that does not touch parties and does not In any way Interfere with political affiliations. We ask our friends and readers to cut this ballot out and send It to The Georgian Bt their earliest ’convenience, making ap plication for membership In this municipal leaguf. Let no man fear that he will be alone In this applica tion. With the flrst list of membership published. It will he found that on the list will be the distinguished nacfle of Hon. Hoke Smith, the next governor of Georgia. On that list will be found the name of the Hon. Sam D. Jones, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. On that list will be found the name of the Hon. Oeorge Hlllyer, one of the first citizens of Atlanta. Upon that list will be found the names of hundreds of strong men and patriotic public citizens who wilt stand by you and the rest of us in every honest and earnest endeavor to promote the great cause of municipal ownership and good government In the city of Atlanta. Read the ballot, write your name on It and mail It to The Georgian. Let Us Find the Germ of the Rapist. The time Is come In the consideration of this criminal ware to make thoughtful, patient and Intelligent Investi gation Into the natural habits and environments of the criminals themselves. We heed to know who these monsters are, the envi ronment from which they come, the conditions which surround them and the circumstances which Inspire their hellish passions to expression. We respectfully urge upon our solicitors, sheriffs and other officers to make every effort to obtain all such In formation about every negro criminal who comes before them charged with this crime. There are several ques tions which should be put to them In turn. Let them in quire: Is the negro an educated one? If so, from what school did he come, and how far did hts educatldn progress? Does he take cocaine? Is he a city negro or a country negro? Is he an habitue of the dives, and If so, what dives, and from what dive did he come just before the commis sion of his crime? Has he been In the habit of looking at the pictures which cover the walls of these low dives of iniquity? Does he eat morphine? Who have been his associates, and where are they now? It may not be possible always for’judges and solici tors In the courts to ascertain these facts, but with the aid of the sheriffs, the deputy sheriffs and the city and county police, these very Important data should be gath ered and carefully noted because they are becoming vital to the study of this problem. We have got to take hold of this thing now In the South at the scientific experts are taking hold of yellow fever abd typhoid fever and make a microscopic exam ination to discover the bacillus or germ from which these Internal outrages come. We have practically ex hausted the Influence of passion and of revenge, although perhapg as long as the world, stands these expressions of outraged society will continue. But the deeper and the profounder question Is to tee If we cannot come back to the fountainhead of this criminology at a sensible people ought to do and destroy the evil by striking It at the heart We respectfully suggest to all of those officials, great and small, whom we have named, and to this list we cor dially add the Atlanta Sociological Society, and suggest that they will enter upon a quiet and careful study of. the character, history, hereditary habits and environment of the criminals who are destroying the peace and happlnpts of this Southern country. This It the practical way. It It the sensible way. It Is alto the scientific way. We may not be able to accomplish at flrst all of that whtqh we seek, but we will at least accomplish something by doing all that we can do to eradicate this evil by destroying Its germ. Thoughtless Newspaper Correspon dents. The article appearing In The New Yqrk American several days ago touching upon the racial disturbances In the South, Is to be credited to the Georgia correspond' ents of Tho American and not to any will or III will on the part of the paper toward the Bectlon which It describes. It la the custom of great newspapers to publish commit' nlcarions sent them from different sections by correspon dents of good repute, and It Is these. men who hold In their hands the repute and Integrity of the states In which they live, so far as the outside public can affect them. No man in all newBpaperdom has been more promptly considerate and loyal toward the South in all matters relating to this racial problem than has Mr. Hearst of The American. It was he who wrote those splendid editorials which rang throughout the country de manding a larger and better understanding and sympa thy with the South in the shadow of the race problem under which It rested. It was he who has advocated edi torially and unfailingly in his paper the Caucasian side of the Southern problem; and we are perfectly confident that with his first attention called to the articles In ques tion, they would be disclaimed, and If necessary an apol ogy offered to the state. But we kindly suggest to the young men who repre sent these metropolitan papers that they ought to be very careful how they scatter broadcast before their Northern constituents an exaggerated statement of the conditions In the S^uth about whtch we are always under suspicion and distrust among a large number of people In the sec tions to the north of us. Mr. Bryan’s Next Best Speech. Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick, of the Tenth district, expressed to The Georgian on yesterday his opin ion that the speech of Mr. Bryan at’the banquet on Thursday night was the next best speech that Mr. Bryan ever made In his life. Mr. Hardwick said that he had heard Mr. Bryan speak In Chicago and In Kansas City, and had heard him speak dozens of times throughout the country, but that In his opinion with the single ezceptlon of "The Famous Crown of Thorns and Cross of Gold” speech which caused his nomination In Chicago, that the effort of Thursday night was the best speech that Mr. Bryan had made since the Chicago convention of 1S96. In this opinion of the young congressman from the Tenth there are many thoughtful observers and excellent Judges of oratory who thoroughly agree. It was a great compliment to Atlanta that Mr. Bryan should have re served his most explicit declaration upon government ownership, and held In waiting hla most fervent and en trancing eloquence for this capital of the New South. It was a tribute to the Importance which this city bears In Mr. Bryan’s estimate as the great center for the distri bution of thought. It was a tribute to the Importance which he attaches to tho spirit and Influence of Atlanta and of Georgia In all matters that relate to state and na tional politics, and It Is also quite likely that Mr. Bryan himself was inspired to an extra effort and to a more fer vent speech by the eloquence of tho Georgia speeches which had preceded hlB. At all events It was the fair testimony of those who heard it and who have often heard Mr. Bryan before, that he reached the high water mark, both of candid elo quence and of forceful logic, In his speech at the memora ble banquet in Atlanta. r !

After reaching the ripe old age of three score and ten, Frederick Mcowen treasurer 'of the Bertvlnd-White Coai Company, and a director of many other local corporations at his home in Philadelphia, must learn baby talk. His beautiful young wife has presented him with ti beautiful blue-eyed girl. The old gentleman Is as tickled as t baby with a new toy! "Yes, sir; It's a girl; mother's well, baby a beaut, old man.

"Baron" Frederick von Gordon-See- feld and his American bride, a beautiful New Orleans girl, sail today on the Hamburg-American liner Graf Walder. see, unless the relatives of the bride prevent her departure. The two leave for Germany In the face of opposition. The girl’s father searched the city all last night trying to locate her, and Is to be at the pier today. The couple were not In their state room on board the steamer last night. The baron came here with the avowed Intention of marrying an American heiress, and It Ie said he succeeded. Yet the stony path he trod at one time led him behind bars. That was when he met the charming "Countess" Ilka Klnslay Palmay, ar. opera singer, who had come here from Budapest. The acquaintance began by the "baron” borrowing $2,000 and end ed by the “countess" causing his ar rest nnd by his making restitution. During the late winter which he spent In New Orleans the "baron” mst a charming girl, the daughter of a wealthy Southerner. He made love to the young woman and married her re cently. Dr. R. W. Brackley, a Plainfield, N.

The. letter further informed Dr. Brackley that the writer had "struck It rich" at the races and was worth $70,000. whereas hh'had former ly been heavily In debt. He said the settlement of tho soda checks squared him with the world.

Growth and Progress of the New South r*nmrk»hI•'*dstapraicn t* WSBLUL’ffiSIti!? loc attention. A Billion a Year. The man who Is sincerely looking for some spot to which he can move and thereby better his fortune should easily be convinced, by plain facia and figures, that he could do no better than to come South—wherever he may live—and invest here his capital, his brawn and hla brain. It Is one of those little nuggets of truth which every Southerner should carry around In his hat, that the South Is Increasing her aggregate wealth at the rate of more than $1,000,000,000 a year. Quite a good deal more than that. In point of fact, for she Is growing at the rate of more than $3,000,000 a day. Now, $$,000,000 Ie quite a tidy sum of money, and the section of our common country which Is adding that much every day to. Its aggregate wealth 1s advancing very rapidly along the road of progress! Perhaps we may be allowed to go somewhat Into the details of these general flguree, for while some of them may have been presented before we can do no better than to keep them constantly before our eyes. For In stance. the Increase In the South’s manufacturing capital during the past live years haa been at the rate of $120,400,000 a year, the total capital In vested now reaching the enormous figure of practically $1,600,000,000. while the value of our factory products lias Increased during the same half decade at the rate of $110,000,000 a year. In lyldltlon to other farm products, which aggregate $1,200,000,000, her cotton crop, with Us by-prodv.eta of seed, represents <700,000,000, upon which depends three-fourths of the spindles operated In the entire world. In addition to all this, the South Is producing pet-oleum tt the rate of 5,000,000 barrels a month; mining bituminous coal at the i ate of 6,000,- 000 tons a month; making about 3no,ooo tons of pig iron a month; idJIng annually 2,600 miles to the railroad mileage of the co; ntry; contributing $694,000,000 worth, or about 40 per cent, of the $L743,000,000 total export trade at the country, and sending $«42,flOO,ohrt of that trade through Its own ports; lAcreastng the capital of Its financial Institutions at the rate of $50,- 000.000 a year, and the amount of Its deposits In national, state, savings and private banks and loan and trust companies at the rate of many mil lions more & year: adding I3.noo.ooo a day to Its aggregate wealth—these are a few of the moet significant fact* of ths material progress now under way In the South.

THE APPEAL TO THE SCRIPTURE TO JUSTIFY LYNCH LAW To the Editor of Tho Georgian: "Scotch-Irlsh Christian" makes an ap peal to the Scriptures to justify lynch law and wins a compliment from The Georgian therefor on account of the fact that "he states with clearness and force what he has to say." The compliment Is deserved. He does Indeed, wrest misuse and vlolute the Scriptures “with clearness and force." Jf.u „ mf ! n who rends ‘his turn to 19th and 20th chapters of Judges for nlmeelf. L In verses 2? to 27 the fearful crime Is stated. A woman had been violated and elaln by the men of Glbeah. She was a concubine. These men who did the wicked deed were looking for a man, the paramour of this concubine. He took refuge In a cltlien's house. This citizen would not surrender him, but said, “Here la his concubine, do what aeemeth good unto you.” But they would not hearken unto him. So to save himself this fellow In the house brought her out himself and gave her unto them. Then they did the wicked deed and left her dying. All this you will And In the 19th chapters. 2. In vorse l of the 20th chapter the convention of the people of Israel was assembled to deliberate upon this out- ™ge. All the tribes numbering four hundred thousand anti more people came together In what Is called "the assembly of the Lord.” The assembly carefully planned to punish the men of Glbeah tn accord with the law In Deu- K e J 0 ,s1 n !i'.Y- Th . e ;', hcln * sheltered by the tribe of Benjamin. The assem bly prayed about It and entered sol emnly Into a war which In the flrst battle cost them 22,000 men. In the second battle they lost 16,000 men.
