We havo not learned as yet to banquet In the South in the prudent and progressive way. We live In the land of hospitality, and the spirit of fellowship and comradeship flows naturally from the Southern heart and hand. For all that, wo banquet In Dixie not wisely but too well—and too long. The great banquet of Thursday night closed about half-past 1 o’clock, which was at least two hour* later than It should hnvc closed. Our friends In the Xorth, who banquet much oftener than wo do, and par- » tlcularly In the Inrger cities of Boston and New York, where there are from ten to fifty banquets every night, have long since learned the wiser and better way. In these cities It Is the custom to begin every ban quet not later than 6:30 In the evening. Then after the first three courses the first speaker la Introduced. The waiters enter the hnll with the next course, only after the speaker has taken hla seat. A speaker la then sandwiched between every course, with the waiters held carefully In the dining room, until he concludes. Then at the end, the last two or threo speeches •re heard ovei the coffee and cigars, and Invariably every banqueter la enabled to bo nt home and In bod before the clock strikes the hour of midnight. There la great wladom In this plan and It should be adopted everywhere. Business men who are engaged in banqueting until 2 o'clock In the morning are scarcely fit for vigorous business or contact with their follow men on the succeeding day. It la a weariness to the flesh which la scarcely compensated by the Joy to the spirit apd to the stomach on the evening before. There la no reason In the world why wjo should not adopt this system In Georgia. It the men know that a banquet begins nt 6:30 they will ninke It n point to be there, and by following rigidly this custom until tho people become accustomed to It. we will establish n sys tem of social festivity out of which wo may receive mental and physical enjoyment without physical weari ness or Injury on tho following dny. ■ The Georgian cordially urges upon tho next banquet- era In this city to Inaugurate the system of beginning their festivities at the hour of 6:30 nnd arrange to havo them close by 11:30 In the evening. The Woman Who Would. There la a woman out In Cleveland who, haa not only discharged all the manifold duties which could possibly devolve H|>oii a wife nnd mother, but ahe haa dono so many things which are supposed to lie exclusively in the sphere of a man that she has attracted considerable at tention. Before her marriage she was on the stage, so aho begins the list »f her accomplishments by being a fairly good actress, although ahe lias devoted her attention In recent years to something very different. Sho has made her own clothes, those of the two-year-old baby and of tho two boys who are largo enough to go to school. Sho lma made her own hats. She does beautiful fancy work, such as Battenberg laco nnd "frillies." Sho paints on chlnn and glass. All of which may bo feminine enough, albeit few wo men would care to undertake so much. But teat was only tho beginning with Mrs. Kvelyn Johnson. It certainly la no part of a woman's work to shave her husband nnd cut his hair, but aho was thereby en abled to save a few dollars of the family funds every month, so she did not hesitate to do thnt, too. And yet even thnt was but tho beginning. She dug the cellar, sho Inld the foundations of the house, she shingled the root, Rhe painted tho house, she put r- he eaves nnd spouts, ahe laid the atone walk, ahe bt..;i tho stone steps, she built the chimneys, she built a ten-feet fence, she papered and reflntahed tho In terior of the rooms, and now ahe la preparing to build u new concrete house, from top to bottom. When she gets through with that she thinks that In all probability she will take a little rest, but she Is not certain. Mrs. Johnson does not suffer with "nerves." She Is as happy as the day is long. What kind of a man her husband Is has not been given out. At any rate her ex ample has set all the people In the neighborhood to work, beautifying and improving the premises, nnd It Is to be hoped that If her lord and master was not doing his part before, he has at last waked up and caught the fever ol Industry along with the rest of the community. This Is u marvelous record, hut It is not one which we would advise any. woman to Imitate to the full extent. It is rather more than any wife and mother should at tempt. but It at least serves as an Inspiration to any wo man who thinks her lot In life is hard. She says that when she gets the new house built, she Is going to put the children in some good boarding school and then start out "to raise our station lu life. I want to leave something good for the children when I die." And therein lies the explanation of It all. That ahe will accomplish what sho sets out to do Is certain. "She will leave tho children something good when she dies," II it la nothing more than the noble example she has set theta. Ar.J behind all her marvelous energy and achleve- OUR PLATFORM-"The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec tric light plants, as it now owns its water tuorfys. Other cities do this and gel gas as low as 60 cents, With a profit to the city. This should be done at once. The Georgian believes that if street rail ways can be operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it may be some years be fore we are ready for so big an underlaying. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOIV menta lies that mother Jove which explains while It glo rifies It all. The Gas and Electric Monopolies Are Contrary to Government. The private monopoly of public utilities la distinctly a violation of the constitution, and In opposition to the whole theory and plan of our government. If this is a strong statement we will proceed to prove It. The right to tax a free people la confined exclusively to tho government which they hare erected for them selves. The [lower of taxation is a government func tion. It was never Intended to be exercised by any pri vate Individual, or by any small coterie of private Indi viduals. It la an Inalienable and Indispensable right of free men to be taxed only by tbe government under which they live. Now we submit to tbe candid Intelligence of a free and thoughtful people that^ when their public utilities, providing tbe commodities and the absolute necessities of public life, are given into the hands of one corpora tion which has no competition, It gives that corporation In logic and In law as distinct and arbitrary a right of taxation as the government enjoys. When John D. Rockefeller with his Standard OH monopoly desires to recruit any loss that he may have sustained In charity or In speculation, he arbitrarily and without permission, or without any other reason than his sovereign will, puts an additional penny or haii penny upon the price of oil and In one sweeping week replenishes by an hundred fold the pockets and tho coffers that he has emptied in an ostentatious charity, or depleted In an unwise Investment. In other words he taxes the people tthout their consent and without governmental authority or any other authority than his own sweet will to enrich his own pockets and to In crease his own revenues. The tax of 1 mill is felt enormously by tho people of a state or n republic. But the (ax of 1 cent arbitrarily levied by tho autocratic Rockefeller upon a standard of necessary products, Is a burden of larger meaning and an outrage of more glaring illegality. It Is the same way with our gas and electric plants hero. When their dividends do not suit them, when the yearly Income of the company Is not as much as they think It ought to be, this private group of Individuals who hnve secured out of the apathy and Ignorance of our earlier forefathers the superb ffanchlses of the gas and electric trusts, simply go to work, and without reference to the Inws or to the statutes of the state or city, with out reference to the conditions of the times or the financial state of the people, arbitrarily and Insolently levy s tax of 1c, 2e or 10c a thousand feet upon ths peo ple, Just as It may lio necessary to Justify their financial ends. i Nothing can be clearer, nnd no man who runs can fall to read that tho exorcise of the monopolist over tho nssontlal services which private Individuals carry with tbe power to tax the Individual Is absolutely In violation of the letter and spirit of tho Constitution. This much ought to be understood. But wo assert another fact of equal Import—that these syndicates who enjoy tho monopoly of public commodities nnd necessities not only violate the theory of our government In taxing the pcoplo contrnry to the constitution, but they add an additional strain to our a.vatem of government by taxing these people without giving them the right to repreientation. This Is the oth er principle which runs ns clear as a silver bell In tlia earlier shibboleths which made this government. "Tax ation without representation is tyranny." So rang tho cry of the earlier colonists who flung tho heroic claims of thetr rights Into the teoth of the English government, and which wrested this vast re public from the monarchy of Knglund. It la tho cry that In all ages has rung ns freedom's protest against the Injustice nnd the wrong of taxing any people who have no representation In the laws that govern them. In the stato and general government each citizen has nn Interest. He is a partner to the extent of hla vote, and he Is represented by the full capacity of hla ballot and hta Influence In popular elections. But In the private *Rlonopolles the speechless and helpless people who are taxed are absolutely voiceless against tho cold. Insolent vlolutlon of the constitution nnd of tho government, which alone onjoya the power to tax, and which does not under Us own laws, dare to tax those who are not represented In the government. Apply this reasoning then to our own present condi tions under the nrbltrnry j>ower with which these gas and electric monopolists work in Atlanta and else where, and without saying boo to a single citizen or a taxpayer, they can raise their rates, which means to In crease our taxes, and they do not even hear with any degree of common courtesy or patience the protests of the people who are being taxed, without authority and without representation, and who have not up to this time done mure than simply offer a indite protest against the existing conditions. This Is the basis ti|>on which we need and abso lutely require a municipal ownership league In Atlanta. We want to take away from private Individuals the right to tax a great free people—the right to tax them at all without the consent of the government, and above all things the right to tax them without representation In the taxing power. If there can be found a more unanswerable argument for municipal ownership, we cannot conceive It In rea son or In logic under the terms and spirit of our Amer ican constitution. For Information of the Outside World. The Georgian's attitude of fairness toward all pub lic questions Is causing Its opinions to be sought by thoughtful people, not only at home, but in the larger cities. Late on Sunday afternoon the following telegrams were received by the editor of The Georgian: Hon. John Temple Gravea, Atlanta Ga.—The Post Is exceedingly anxious, as Indicated by message to yog today, for a statement from you on the situ ation. What caused It; what the probable effect will be, and anything, however vigorous, you may desire to say on the subject. Can you not accommodate us? We consider It timely and Important Just now. Please answer. THE WASHINGTON POST. New York, September 23, 1906. Hon. John Temple Graves, Atlanta, Ga. The World would appreciate a telegraphic reply from you on tbe duty of the hour In repressing race riots and what you believe to be the best way to prevent them. THE NEW YORK WORLD. Chicago, September 23. 1906. John Temple Graves, Atlanta, Ga. Will you kindly give us the situation in At lanta tonight In 500 words? * THE CHICAGO EXAMINER. And to these Inquiries from three of the greatest newspapers In the country, the editor, under pressure of time, returned to each of these papers tbe appended reply, which, read on Monday by nearly 2,000,000 readers, serves at least to enable our friends In the East and the West to realize the provocation under which this people acted, and to understand our Southern situation as they evidently have never seemed to understand It. It Is Just as well to give the same answer to the readers of The Georgian from the editorial page of the paper: Editor New York World: The Atlanta race riot Is due to the cumulative provocation of a series of asaults by negroes upon white women, which. In number, In atrocity and In unspeaka ble audacity, are without a parallel inthe history of crime among Southern negroes. There have been 11 assaults or attempted assaults within the past seven .weeks. Of these fiends only four have been apprehended and seven have escaped scot free, and are now at large'In the community. Eight of these assaults have been In broad daylight, and in most Instances In the open atr within a atone'a throw of other residences. One assault was attempted at 9 o'clock In the evening In the brilliantly lighted parlors of a city residence. Two have been attempted almost within twenty feet of the man of the house, the criminals escaping before the man could reach them. In almost every case the woman victim has been brutally mutilated and disfigured. And the entire eleven monstrous efforts, five success ful and six unsuccessful, have been made right in the city nnd suburbs of Atlanta, the capital of the New South, the center of trade, tradition and politics, the heart of our civilization, with a white population nearly twice as large as that of the negro. It'Is uttsrly Impossible to reach an explanation of this tidal wave of crime. Whether It be due to the lust begotten by the sultry and torrid weather, whether It be due to the remarkable Increase of the cocaine habit ameng the negroes, whether it has been stirred by the revolutionary harangues of a local newspaper; whether It has come from the frequenting of low liquor dives on Decatur street In which are exposed the pictures of nudo white women, or as Is more likely, from all these causes combined, it Is certain that Atlanta nor any other South ern city has ever passed through such a horrid carnival of the unspeakable crime as during the closing weeks of the present summer. The city has oeen at high tension for six weeks past. Public meetings have beon addressed by tho most conservative citizens. Our county police syatem has been quadrupled, 250 deputy sheriffs have been put on duty and most of the Decatur street liquor dens have been closed. A fortnight since I led a movement, to compel the negro editors, preachers and teachers under threat of a practical boycott, to cease spending all their breath and energies In the denunciation of lynch law and to preach with nil their ransomed powers hell and dam nation to tho rapist. They responded loyally, and for the first time since we have had a race problem - the whtto man has had tho full nnd hearty co-operation of tbe respectable negroes In the suppression of tho rapist. And yet. In Bptte of this extraordinary Improvement In conditions, the rape of white women hna multiplied In nppntllng fashion. It has been a reign of terror for our Georgia women. There !b not a white* woman In the region of Atlanta who has had a tranquil day or night within this period. The white women have been trembling prisoners in their homes, and their husbands, sons and brothers have been held In the necessity of guarding them unceasingly. There are few men who dare to leave their families after nightfall—either to attend public meetings, pay a social call or to worship in the churches of their choice. The whole section has been In a state of siege and apprehension which has been growing more and more Intolerable. Every thoughtful citizen has realized that Atlanta has been sleeping upon a volcano for weeks. Under these conditions Saturday afternoon was drawing to a close. There had been an attempt at rape for eac« of the three preceding days right In the heart of the city. Thp regular afternoon editions of the city papers came out on -time without an addition to the grewaome record, and people breathed easier. Half an hour later an afternoon extra appeared an nouncing that there had been four rapes attempted In awtft succession u tthln the hour, two of which -had been successful. Another paper issued an extra, and in one short hour the populace of Atlanta was In a frenzy of excitement. By seven o'clock the first crude and Im promptu organization was formed. And from seven o’clock until an hour after midnight Atlanta pasted through the throes of a riot which has had no approx imation In Southern history. The ltd of the volcano was pff at last. Monstrous things were done In the name of retalia tion. Old and young negroes, negroes good and bad, Innocent and guilty, were cut and slashed and killed. To every plea for mercy was shouted back the fierce re sponse, "You had no mercy on our women and we will have none on you.” Six negroes were killed and more than thirty in jured. The press dlapatchea have told you of It. To the tranquil readers of The World, looking on at a great safe distance, it seems an awful outrage agatnat civilization, and no thoughtful citizen falls to deplore and condemn it. But If one of you who read had lived for one week with the dear women of your household under the shadow and terror of this crime, you would have found at feast an explsna-lon fpr a lawless revolu tion which cannot be legally or morally Justified. Do you ask me how this riot can bo rebuked and this mob made Impossible for the future? I will answer you frankly that It is likely to occur again. The silliest man In the South Is the tlme-Berrlng statesman who declares "that there Is no race problem, and the question, if left alone, will settle itself." The race question ts more Impending and threatening now than it has been In twenty years. The tension is sharper, the antagonism deeper between the races. The hope of a permanent agreement has slender foundation. The horror of Saturday has doubtless left a blot on our civilization. Every good citizen in Georgia will de plore and condemn the indiscriminate slaughter. I fer vently deplore It. But the outraged people had tried every known remedy and failed. And It will undoubtedly clear the atmosphere and keep the negro tn order for five years to come. They are already assuming a different tone. There may be sporadic lawlessness, but the back bone of Insolent aggression Is broken for a time, and there wilt be fewer outbreaks, and more of tranquillity for a long season. The men It will save In the future will outnumber ten times the men who were killed on Sat urday. The present riot Is at an end. The city Is quiet to night, the streets are cleared, the military on guard, tho negroes are whipped and humblo, and there Is no dan ger apprehended anywhere. But the trouble may pos sibly be reopened with anothor wave of lustful crime next summer. Whenever there is provocation there will be the mob. The newspapers of the North crucified me for saying this at the New York chautfuqua In 1903. I ask you If the statement has not been vindicated by events. It Is demonstrated now that lynch law does not entirely deter the rapist.’ He Is wilting to die for the having of hie desire. But It is a vent to outraged society and but for the mob there would be ton assaults where there Is one. Wrong? Yes. Worthy of all condemnation? Yes. But the fact remains It Is here, and hero to stay. Wo are Btudylng rape now In the Gouth as the scien tists have studied yellow fever and smallpox. We aro looking for the germ. Maybe we shall find tbe "Stego- myia Fnsclata.' But until we do the most law-abiding section of the entire Union In everything else, will con tinue In the old-fashioned way to lift tho blood red ban ner of the mob to protect tho lives and chastity of our women. How can you help ua? By giving two paragraphs to tho denunciation of rape where you give ono to lynching. What la the ultimate end? Separation of the racqs— the only possible logical, Inevitable solution. These two opposite antagonistic races can never live together In the same government under equal laws—never. Help ua to separate. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. I GOSSIP By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. New York, Sept. 24.—A student of Darwin’s "Origin of Species," at eight years, a regularly matriculated fresh man of Tufts College at U, Is the re markable record of Norbert Weiner, of Medford. Maas. It may be eald that Master Norbert was born In Missouri. Young Weiner's short career haa been a shining example of physical health, as well as of mental training, and al though he speqds a great deal of time reading scientific works, he enjoys hls outdoor exercise as much as any of hls young neighbors with whom he plays. When the boy was but a year and a half old he had complete control of the alphabet, being able to recite It in either direction. At the age of 3 he could read and write with perfect ease the ordinary lessons taught In the drat grammar school grades, and at 8 was found studying the Darwinian theory and also various books by Huxley, Ri- bot nnd Haeckel. Norbert Weiner was born at Colum bia, Mo., November 26, 1894, while hls father wae connected with the Missouri Stale University. Soon after the boy’s birth tho family moved to Cambridge, Mass., where the father took up his work at Harvard. The boy’s father Is Leo Weiner, as sistant professor of Slavonic languages at Harvard, and It was the Intention of hls parents to send the lad to Cam bridge to echooi. Last year, however, the college authorities refused to admit him. He is without doubt the youngest college student in the land. A nest of hornets caused the sudden ending of a football game among the pupils of the Watzeslng public school at Bloomfield, N. J., and at a result nearly all the playera yesterday were nursing swollen faces and hands, white one Is unconscious. Henry Wllberg “downed" the ball In the center of the hornets’ nest and before he could rise to escape the stings, the reet of the players were on top of him. Then the hornets became busy with the rest of the players and kept It up until the teams dashed wildly away. It was learned today that Rosemund Downs, the 17-year-old bride of Nathan A. Downs, 80 years old. has been granted a divorce by-Justice Jay Cox. The plaintiff claimed she was un der legal age when she wae married to Downs, who was a widower living at Riverhead. Mrs. Downs testified that she mar ried the aged man on March 26. 1905, without the consent of her adopted father. The latter also testified to the same fact, and further said he had not since agreed to the marriage. No defense was entered by Mr. Down, although It had previously been published that the differences of the couple had been settled by the payment of 610,000 by Mr. Downs to hls wife. It Is said, by one close to Mr. Downs that he gave her an even 31,000 in settle ment. While arrangements are being made today for the burial of James Amber- cromble Burden, whose body lies nt hla mansion, 908 Fifth avenue, social and business friends of the dead mll- flondlre recoil the quarrel of 20 years’ standing between him nnd hls surviv ing brother, 1.

Much of her time has been spent In Paris, where her daughter, Miss Margaret Camp bell Knower, was married last week to Vlcomte Alain de Huznnnet.
