OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec tric light plants, as it now owns its water works. Other cities do this and get 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 undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOW Enter'd as second-class matter April Bi, 1904, st the Poetofftee *9 Atlanta. Ga., under act of conaress of March a. 111*. Subscribers falling to raesivs THE GEORGIAN promptly and regularly, and reader* who can not purchase the paper where THE GEORGIAN should be on sale, ara requested to communicate with the Circulation Manager without delay, and the com plaint will receive prompt attention.

A Word Personal and Otherwise. 6everal of the newspapers of the country have been disposed to credit some part of the recent riot tp the theory of separation of the races which the editor of The Georgian has so long proclaimed. Some others, and judging from the clippings on our table, a much larger number have been disposed to credit this lawless affair to the campaign for disfranchisement recently waged by Hoke Smith, and to the multiplied ed itorials written by The Atlanta Journal on that subject. Others In more definite fashion have been disposed to charge the whole thing to a little newspaper In this city which publicly and editorially hpplnuded some lynchtngs In South Carolina, and which one Northern newspaper charges with having offered 11,000 reward for a similar occurrence In Atlanta. With the last of these allegations we have nothing either now or In the future to do or to say. Under the first two charges wo do not proposo to rest. We propose to defend ourselves calmly In good temper against this charge, and with equal frankness and earnestnoss to defend our neighbor. The Journal. The editor of The Georgian has advocated for many years both In the North nnd In tho South the theory of separation as the only possible cure for the race prob lem. He has debated ' It with state legislatures In strongly Republican states In which there were men who were members of the negro race, and upon plat forms of great universities In which many of the stu dents were of tho negro race find took part In these discussions. There hns never been any unpleasantness or any disturbance accompanying these deliverances, be- cause tho ealtor of The Georgian has always voiced hls opinions with dignity and decorum and yet with the isame absolute freedom In the North nz In Jhe South and In the editorial columns of hls paper. This theory of separation has the spoken and writ ten Indorsement of Thomas Jefferson, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, Janies Madison, Abraham Lincoln and Hen- ry Grady. If tho theory of race separation Is an Insane, Impractical and riot producing theory, then Thomas Jefferson was Insane, Impractical and a rioter; then Daniel Webster was insane; then Edward Everett and James Madison were Insane; then Henry Clay and Henry Grady were Insane. if tho Idea Is Insane, than Abraham Lincoln was distinctly Insane, nnd if It Is an Impractical and riot- producing Idea, men Henry Grady was Insane, Impracti cal and unsound. In the light of these examides, we appeal from the judgment of the thoughtful nowsiuipcrs across the bor der and from the hasty words of tho curbstone politi cian* nnd the back counter statesmen of Atlanta, and are content to take our stand with tho Illustrious list of the Insane and impractical, of which Jefferson, ClBy, Webster, Everett, Madison nnd Monroe, and Lincoln and Grady are examples. In the matter of Mr. Hoke Smith and The Journal, we are equally confident that there Is absolutely no foundation for the foolish nnd childish charge of their responsibility for this lawless outbreak In Atlanta. Mr. Smith conducted hls campaign upon the highest lines of discussion. He abused nobody, he expressed no hatred and no denunciation. The Atlanta Journal In Its edito rials, so far as we know, followed the eani'e line. They advocated a principle which was already well establish ed and for many years under active execution In mnny of our surrounding states. If Mr. Smith and The Journal were sensational and revolutionary, then wbb South Car olina senastionnl and revolutionary; and so was Alabama, and so was Louisiana, and so was Mississippi, and so were North Carolina nnd Virginia. It is very foolish and very useloss for n lot of care less and empty observers either a thousand miles away or nearer home to lay their heads together and seek to fasten upon some local object or representative that bur den of responsibility for a condition to which we hare all perhaps contributed, and which has had Its expression in other cities and In other states. That It Is lamentable, we all confess; that it is de plorable, we have already said; that It Is lawless and damnable, we have written in resolutions which have gone throughout the country. But It Is a foolish thing and a useless thing for anybody to ho looking for a scape-goat In an occurrence which was Ixirn, not so much of anybody's fault, as of the provocation which pro duced It and of the hot blood of youth Joined to the bad blood of riot and of reckless and lawless Individuals. We have made no charges and no effort to foist up on any Individual or any contemporary the responsibility In this affair. If we are pressed, however, by; any ungen erous contemporaries or continuation of any untruthful rumors on their part. The Georgian will simply proceed to photograph In full the headlines of the extras which appeared on Saturday evening and submit them without comment to an Intelligent • people to determine who was primarily responsible for the tragic events of that event ful night The People Can Prevail. * The people who believe In municipal ownership of public utilities are more than they that be against It- far more. The truth Is today that the sentiment and opinion In favor of the proposition Is numerically overwhelming, The only thing standing In the way of adopting such a policy Is the fact that the advocates of the proposal are ignorant of their own strength and of the ease and simplicity of Its possible attainment. The people are always unorganlxed—their strength and power unrecognized even by themselves. All great abuses and wrongs gather strength by slow accretions and the compact organization of their beneficiaries, all aided and sanctified by the Innate conservatism of the masses of the people. The beneficiaries of privileges are naturally the more alert, Intelligent and aggressive part of the population. Inch by Inch they pile up their power till they themselves come to regard privilege as natural right, and the artifi cial Institutions of the law as the fundamental and Inher ent rights of individuals. Fortifying and stimulating their purposes. Is the fact that their personal Interests are involved, thplr for tunes nt'stake. By this craft they have their living. All their time aftd energies are devoted to building up their power and Increasing their advantages. They are an organized band whose business It is to pursue privilege as a calling. To them tho public Is simply a quarry which It la both their'business and their recreation to hunt down. Tho people at large, on the othor hand, are all occu pied in other matters, each concerned with the prossing needs of hls own affairs and the Insistent pressure or hls own peculiar business. Vaguely and without any clear or definite perception of the nature of the wrongs to be remedied, the great masses of the people feet that some how there Is need for reform, but none has the time or Inclination to take the lead And so It runs along, the public suffering and grum bling In scattered and disorganized weakness, unconscious even of the potential weight of Its own numbers, but con scious of wrong nnd oppression and unwisdom In It all; the hosts of privilege astute, compact and capable, stren uous and aggressive. Wrongs pile up, dissatisfaction grows. The privileged Increase In power and so Increasing Increase also In greed. Then tho public sense of wrong takes form In what men call prejudice, that manifests Itself in thany ways, ways that In themselves are Illogical and seemingly un wise, but which at last are but the gathering power of public resentment against Intolerable conditloiis.- - Such, for Instance, Is the explanation of the sentiment, so much complained of, that Is reflected In the verdicts of the Juries. After a whtlo a strong man comes up as a leader. He not only sees and comprehends the .nature of the wrong, but has the means, the strength and the courage to combat It. Dazed and doubting, the people slowly rally to hit standard. At first uncertain of hls motives and distrust ful of hls wisdom, long accustomed to believe In the claims of privilege, that all power and right and wisdom belong to It, they gather slowly, but they always gather surely to the cause of right Atlanta Is ripe today for this reform. We have elec tric and gas utilities and street car franchises and many minor forms of privilege that are perhaps better administered and more liberal than most of such con cerns. Considering the fact that these great necessities are In private hands, they are fairly well administered. Compared with neighboring cities we are perhaps treated rather well. But because they are more Just and liberal, they make money, as all of them would do If they were all wise enough to be liberal and Just. They are piling up princely -fortunes out of wealth that really belongs to all the people. The resultant Inequality demoralizes so ciety and undermines the foundations. of democracy ' We say they treat us better here than In other cities. But we give them more. Compared with other public plunderers they do well. Compared with .what we are entitled to they treat us ill. There Is one remedy. The public must own and op erate all public utilities. They want to do so. They have both the will and the power to do so. When they realise their own strength they will abolish privilege and monopoly and establish Justice. call the slumbering conservatism of the people Into Im mediate action. There are dead lines drawn across the moral map of the republic, beyond which no man or set of men can dare to go without disturbing the equilibrium of the en tire nation. A step across these lines arouses that pro tecting conservatism which Is the Immovable rock upon which the hope of the country is budded. Riots may occur; mobs, for a brief season, may hold at bay the forces of law and order; the most despicable crimes may arouse the righteous fury of an outraged people; the brutality and treachery of an inferior race may endanger the safety and honor of Southern homes, but whatever the exciting cause, or pending issue, the final outcome' Is ever and always one and the same. The splendid mural strength and moral courage of the average American citizen are asserted at the oruclal moment. Out of chaos and confusion cotnes the Inevit able calm—born of reason, Judgment and a matchless moral courage. Eeach recurring crisis In municipal, state or national history accentuates anew the glory and the regulating power of American conservatism. Destroy or eliminate this splendid national charac teristic and wreck and ruin would be immediate and In evitable. And yet conservatism Itself has extremes in which It becomes sometimes a fault, and sometimes a danger. But of this another time. Another Courteous Appeal. And now while the necessity tor It is so evident, and while the object lesson which Impresses It so Is so -recent, T)ie Georgian' opce more, not rudely aftd unkindly, but courteously and considerately, urges upon President Arkwright and the officials of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company to relieve the tension of our suburban travel and to prevent the danger of dis turbances between the races' by putting “trailers” upon hls cars In the busy hours from 5 to 7 In the morning and In the evening, or to give us five minute schedules within that time. -. . If It is urged that these "trailers” are too long to turn at curves, it ought to be a matter of simple, com mon sense to see that all of the car* now running In Atlanta are provided with separate trolleys and sepa rate batteries, and they could be run Immediately be hind each other until they had passed the curves when they could be coupled together for the distances that were straight-and proper. President Arkwright has not seen fit in the past to pay the slightest attention to our thoroughly courteous request. We do not know that he will notice this, but we do know that we are voicing n reasonable request In a thoroughly courteous and considerate way, and that this request carries very much of the convenience and safety of the thousands of suburban people who patron ize these Knee. BEATRICE FAIRFAX She Points Out the Danger of Slang and Urges American Girls to Pattern Their Voices After Those of English Women. The Majesty of American Conservatism. Every crisis In American history emphasises the majesty and dominant power of American conservatism. Periods of national nnd sectional unrest, and times of bitterest political turmoil have ofttlmes obscured tern- partly this redeeming quality of ( American citizenship. Tho consuming fires of passion and resentment have ever and always been quenched by that greater force which men call reason and Judgment. No one familiar with the Inspiring story of the republic, can ever lose faith In the final adjustment nnd adjudication of all mo mentous questions, arising for settlement, at the hands or the American people, in the stress and strain of tre mendous political upheavals, when the very foundations of the national government seem to tremble from the Im pact of the struggle of contending factions, men some times lose heart, and prophesy hopelessly of the future. But the thunders cease, the clouds pass away, men take up the calmer duties of life, and lo! all thing! are as they were aforetime, save that those who fought each other fiercely and viciously, find themselves uncon sciously on a higher plane. - Some dominant principle has been won. and become permanent, which makes for the welfare of the masses. Every memorable conflict between Americans, political, financial or otherwise, has resulted In a forward, up grade movement for the nation at large. Every serious contention has developed In greater or lesser degree the better qualities of American character, as a final out come. When any class of citizenship seems mad In Its quest of gold, or In Its greed for political preferment, and the nobler Instincts of the people are apparently warped and blunted by the consuming thirst for personal aggrandise ment, there invariably arises at the critical moment the voice of one, who crying aloud, through the press. In the pulpit, or on the rostrum, awakens as with' a trumpet The other evening 1 sat near a group of women who were playing bridge. Among them was a woman of about forty-five. She was a handsome, well- dressed woman, with an endless flow of conversation. She looked charming, but the minute she opened her mouth the charm fled. Not only was her voice high-pitched and nasal to a degree, but the amount of slang she used was astonishing. "You're a beaut,” “Not on your life," "Bet your boots” were a few of the equally or more objectionable. The effect produced by the slang phrases falling from the Ups of that dignified, elderly woman was unpleas ant in the extreme. Slang In any form is objectionable, but It certainly sounds worse coming from an old person than from a youug. However, If you contract the habit while young It Is pretty sure to stick to you, for there Is no habit harder to cure one's-aelf. of than the slang habit. Surely there are enough words In the English language to supply the or dinary vocabulary. So many words are considered slang now-n-days that It is almost Impossi ble to eliminate It entirely from con versation, but there Is no use In going out of the way to bring It In at every turn. It Is not at all unusual to henr the words "bully” and "rotten” fall from the lips of a pretty, refined-looking girl. Did you ever hear of the bewitched fairy princess from whpse Ups toads and vipers dropped every time she spoke? The slang that falls from th* lips of some of our girl* of today might al most be compared to the toads and vipers of the princes*. And there Is also much to be reme died where many of the voices are con cerned. The English, who are noted the world over for their soft, well-modulated voices, say that all Americans speak through their noses. That, of course, Is an exaggeration, but we can not but allow that there 1* a good deal of truth In It. A soft voice Is spoken of aff "that most excellent thing In woman.” It.Is a quality that ran be cultivated If you only have the strength of mind to keep at It. To begin with, bring your voice down from the top of your head and speak softly. Don't cultivate affectation, but do try and make your voice melodious by softness and purity of pronunciation. One fault of many Americana Is that they speak too quickly, clipping off a syllable from almost every word. Learn to speak distinctly and In a clear, low-pitched voice. There Is no reason why the girls of New York should not have extremely musical voices, for the sea air Is sup posed to soften much harshness of the vocal cords. Do not let your English cousins get ahead of you In the voice question. So often you heir foreigners say when speaking of an American girl, "Yes, she Is pretty nnd charming, but did you ever henr such a voice?” Now, girls, It Is your duty to correct that Impression; get to work and make your voices as pretty as your faces.

To the Editor of Th* Georgian: A recent trip on the railroad down to Harris City, Hamilton and LaOrange reveals the prosperity of the country In this section. The trains were more or less crowded with beautiful healthy girls going to college. The sweet kiss of good bye to mamma and papa, and the wave of friendship to th* asso ciates was refreshing and carried me back to boyhood days when true love wns stronger than it seems to be in old age. The fields along the rout* were white with cotton on the stalks, and no one hardly seemed to be picking. It was rather damp, probably, to be picked, but the current report is that it is hard to get help. The towns seemed to be prosperous and the hotels crowded, several of us had to go to Greenville to get hotel accommodations, there be ing no room at Harris City and we found some trouble In getting places to stop at In Greenville—all overrun. While there la more stir In the coun try places than there used to be, still there la a quiet Industry and genial good humor about the country merch ant nnd hls neighbors that makes us almost sigh for quietude of the forest and the village. The Central of Geor gia Railroad from Columbus to Green ville will perhaps be running through with broad gauge Instead of the nar row gauge to Newnan by January nest. This Is the estimate formed on common rumor. It Is graded from Greenville toward Newnan about 8 mites, and from Newnan toward Greenville about 8 miles, leaving a gup of about 8 more miles to be graded. This will open up more directly ibe travel to Columbus und Intermediate points. The construc tion of the road and the depot and aid lng conveniences would seem to Indl cate the expectation of n heavy traffic. At Hamilton the eondemnatlon of long strips of land In addition to the road proper on the sides of the main road leaves the Hamiltonians to wild con jecture as to what Is In store for them. Hamilton Is situated near the foot of Pine mountain In Harris county, and Is the county seat. It la an old town, and, while there has always been a good, ateady business done, the popula tion has not Increased as rapidly by accessions ns some other Georgia towns, but the era of prosperity seems hovering around about her now. There Is more demand for houses there now, and the outlook Is good for more busi ness nnd general prosperity. The old court house Is to be torn away and a new one built In the next twelve months—that Is the understanding. Hamilton Is bound to tske her place with the other prosperous towns of Georgia.

By patting it gently and saying in a soothing tone, ’’There's a good little ootopusay,” one may touch It with Impunity, but It Is very dan gerous when provoked with mentions of rebates or rate bills.

New York, Sept. 28.—Society, or at least that section of It which has it, habitation on Long Island, and thla la no inconsiderable section, by the way Is deeply Interested In prize pumpkins! home-made pies, patchwork quilts and the like. It is all on account of tho county fair which le being held at Mlneola, L. I. Mr*. Clarence Mackay, the Vander bilt, and the other millionaire, who play at farming, not only have exhib its at the fair, hut many of them are In dally attendance. They can talk over the fruit* of Jersey farms, or a Jer sey or Hereford cow or ducks with the best of those who depend on agri culture for a living, and are altogeth er having the time of their llvee. The Meadowbrook hunting set ore said to be out of sympathy with the fair be- ceuso there were no prizes offered either for real foxes or a bag of gupie. The New York board of education Is quivering with rage, astonishment ond resentment. Seventy-four young women who teach In the public schools had th* shocking "nerve" to get married during the recent vacation. Now they'll be punished. The boar! of ed ucation sat on the subject yesterday and cruelly moved that the names of the offenders be printed In the nlnutes. Section 41, sub-division 15. cf th* board's by-laws prohibits the marriage of school teachers. Emerson Palmer, secretary o' the board, yesterday yawned a little and said: Section 43, subdivision 15'proHdes that, etc., etc. Seventy-four teachers have violated this by-law, etc, etqj' One somnolent gentleman suggested: "Put their names in the minutes, l move.” Second the motion,” drowsed an other.
