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 con 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

The Georgian calls the attention of Ita multitude of
correspondents to theae facta: That all communications
must be signed. No anonymous communication will be
printed. No manuscripts will ba returned unless stamps
are Inclosed for the put pose. Our correspondents are
urgently requested to abbreviate their letters as much
as possible. A half a column will be read, whereas a
full column will be passed over by the majority of
readers.
Hla speech made a hit, he began to study law and
thenceforward he was one of the moving spirits In In-
dlana.
This is one of the “simple annals of the poor,” but It
la an Inspiring one. It waa one of the opportunities fur.
nlsbed by this great republic of ours, and Hanley Im
proved It to the very best advantage. Thera are thou
sands of young men who can do likewise.
The Election of Wednesday.
The election of tomorrow Is one which should en
gage the thoughtful attention of every good citizen of
Georgia. It Involves Issues which are of real and vital
moment to the people, and It would be both unpatriotic
and unwise for any citizen to neglect his polling place
tomorrow.
The chief question before the people Is the establish
ment by ballot of the court of appeals and the selection
of three judges to preside over It.
The Georgian before this time hns given full nlid defi
nite explanation of the mennlng of this Institution. The
court of appeals Is absolutely necessary to sustain and
co-opernte with the overcrowded and overworked su
preme court of the state. It Is co-ordinated with the
supreme court so as to avoid conflict of authority. Its
proceedings are more speedy than those of the supremo
court. It will take about 40 per cent of tho cases fram
the supreme court of Georgia, and oven then tho supreme
court will bo culled uiton to decide more cases than any
other court of last resort In tho United Statos. The de
cision of this court In Its jurisdiction Is final attd ex
clusive, and Its decisions will only come before tho su
preme court In those rare cases where a constitutional
question Is raised, or where tho judges of the court of
appeals on their own motion nsk from tho supreme court
a further construction of tho law. In the judgment of
the best lawyers and In the Interests of tho vast litigation
In property and In nffalrs carried on In this state, the
court of appeals Is an nbsoluto necessity which the. peo
ple of Goorgln should vote Into existence by an over
whelming majority.
Tho slate Is rich In the number and quality of tho
distinguished Jurists who nro offering for tho three Judi
cial positions created by this court. Tho Georgian can
not itosslhly take sides between n field so full of enpa-
ble, upright nnd distinguished Inwyors. In the four can
didates from our own city, and tho eight or ten candi
dates from different sections of the state, tho votors of
Georgia will find an nbundnnt opportunity to oqttlp
that court with the loftiest character and tho Inrgest
legal culture in the state, and we feel sure that the de
cision of tomorrow's bnllots will give us throe sound nnd
able jurists in this position.
The election of a railroad commissioner is a matter
of much Importance, nnd Tho Georgian hns already called
onrncst nnd cordlnl attention to the character nnd at
talnmcnts of tho Hon. S. G. McLendon, tho regular Dem
ocratlc nominee for that position. Tho stnto has rarely
had an opportunity to elevate a better citizen, a more
amply equipped expert, or a nobler gentleman, than In
tho regular nominee.
Tho creation of the new county of lien Hill Is
measure which lies very pear to tho hearts of tho people
of Georgia. The Georgian was the only dally In the state
which wrote editorial appeal to tho legislature for the
creation of Ben 11111 county, and we feel confident that
both front the geographical reasons which control It, and
better still from the loftiest sentiment of pride In the II
lustrlous Georgian which moved It, tho fieople of Geor
gia will be glad to write tho nnttio of Ben Hill across
one of the great subdivisions of the state. t
I .orally the people of Fulton county are profoundly In
terested In the choice of the best and wisest men to
take part In shaping tho legislation. Improving tho
hlghnnys, directing the police, and disbursing the mon
eys of the county in the office of county commissioner.
We trust that this very Important question to the peoplo
of our own county will not be lost sight of, and that tho
most eni-nest and careful attention may be given to the
matter in the conscientious nnd Intelligent ballots of tho
people.
Taken all In all, the election of tomorrow Is of mm
■uni importance, and we sincerely trust that the ballots
will indicate the general Interest of the people lu the Is
sues which ure at stake.
An Indiana Cincinnatus.
People are always glad to read of tho Cincinnati of
the fields, who enter politics nnd make a great success
of It.
And one of the best Instances In point Is that of Gov
ernor Hanley of Indiana. Young Hanley's father was a
cooper, while young Frank began early to read and
study. One day he got hold of a life of Lincoln which
greatly Impressed him. It fired his young nmbltlon.
He worked as a hired Inan on the farms In the neigh
borhood of the very farm where Lincoln had worked. Ho
became a famous digger of tile ditches when the farmers
began to drain the fiat lands.
But he was like tho ditch to which the Spanish
grande likened himself—the more dirt he lost the greater
he grew. He nursed ambitions, and could be heard mak
ing speeches and appealing to the chair on the point
of order. Lincoln, too, had spilt rails, you know.
While the other ditchers slept young Hanley read
and studied nnd made speeches. About this time ho be
gan attending the debates at the country school house,
and became one of the best In the hunch. One day the
county chairman called on young Hanley to" make a
speech. He climbed out nnd put on his clothes—his
other” clothes. That was the last of his ditch-digging.
The Rank Injustice of Some Northern
Newspapers.
The newspapers of the North and West have In the
main been reasonable, conservative and fair In discuss
ing Atlanta and her recent tragedies.
The statement of Atlanta's monstrous and unspeaka
ble provocation forwarded to The New York World. The
Washington Post and The Chicago Examiner waa sent
out entire by Tlte Post on the same night as an Asso
ciated Presa dispatch and was read on Monday the 24th
by nearly seven millions of readers In different parts of
tho country. The white man's side of the tragedy had
never been so fully and so fairly stated before, and It
had Ita wholesome effect.
While few of tho rapere failed to express their un
favorable criticism of Atlanta, and while no one at them
failed to condemn the lawless element, the bulk of the
representative newspapers, In full view of the provoca
tion, restrained the expression of bitterness and denun
ciation, and a very larger number of them, Including
The Springfield Republican, expressed an unusual and un
expected sympathy with the peculiar and distressing
problems with which the South was forced to grapple.
It Is perfectly evident from the general trend that
there are a vast number of people In the North who are
coming more and more to entertain tho Southern view
that tho crime transcondent—the crime of all crimes—tho
unpardonablo sin In the South—Is a criminal assault upon
the body of a virtuous and unprotected white woman.
But there are sorao newspapers of note In the Eastern
and Central States which have been shameful and wan
ton in their blind bitterness and prejudice, and In their
gross nnd unpardonablo misstatement of the facts upon
which they base a fiery and unscrupulous denunciation of
Atlanta and tho South. The Boston Transcript, as might
have Jiecn expected; The New York Mall and The Post,
by forco of habit, and Btrangely enough, Tom Orasty'a
paper. The Baltimore Evening News, have led the list
of the fanatics and the vlllfiern of the city nnd section.
Those papers more especially have totally misrepre
sented tho whole attltudo and littorance of Tho Georgian,
which, since Ita Inception, has been as conservative as It
has been definite upon the negro question. Since The
Georgian was horn In April, It hns advocated as a policy
the recognized supremacy of tho Saxon or Caucasian race.
It hns not failed upon occasion to express the belief
that there was no permanent solution of tho negro ques
tion short of a separation of tho races—In which view
Jefferson nnd Webster and Clay and Everett nnd Madison
and Monroe and Lincoln and Orndy believed. Outside of
theso lines It has been conservative and kind In all Us
relations toward the negro, It has led successfully
tho movement which finally Ihduced the negro leaders,
editors, prenchors and teachers of (ho negro race to fall
In with the white man In preaching hell and damnation
to the rapist, instead of breathing all their energies Into
protest against lynching. It has led tho negro leaders
to fight tho cause rather than tho effect, and It hue never
achieved a bettor result for both racos than to bring
about this nlmost unanimous co-operation of the negro
leaders for the suppression of rape.
Unfortunntely this co-opcratlon came too late for the
present crisis.
Blnce tho response of tho negro lenders to Its propo
sition Tho Goorglnn up to tho very day of the tragedy
has prenchnd the doctrine that rape was no longer to be
treated as a crime of race, but as a crlmo of Individuals,
and that It was to bo studied hereafter as our experts
wore studying smallpox and yellow fever—for Its germB.
And yet In spite of this conservative attitude these
rabid and frothing newspaper fanatics whom wo have
named, hnvo denounced Tho Georgian ns tho Incarna
tion of every Injustice and of all blttcrnesa toward the
negro, nnd ns the author of the fiery appeals which led to
tho riot.
This Is simply Infamous In Ita Injustice to a contem
porary who at the distance of a thousand miles has no
opportunity to defend himself or to deny tho fnlsehoods
In which he Is defamed.
The worst of It Is that each of these papers credit
tho editor of The Georgian with being tho editor of the
newspaper upon which ho turned hlB back forever six
months ago. and hold him responsible for the wild nnd
revolutionary mouthlngs of a little paper which few peo
ple read and vastly fewer people respect.
We have a right, In simple justice, to request our
contemporaries who have any regard for fairness snd
the ethics of Journalism, to set us right at least upon this
point—to write us down opposite to our own editorial
page, and not to hold us responsible for the editorial ut-
teraneca cf a newspaper with which we have nothing In
common—either In this world or In the world to come.
side of the Tennessee line, and does not presume
to cross over Into Georgia for fear of a legal retri
bution for his vulgar and abusive treatment of the
Judge of the Georgia circuit adjoining Chattanooga.
Few men In this generation of journalism object
to legitimate criticism, but there arc few newspaper
men In thla neck of the woods who would con
duct a newspaper discussion upon the small and ma
licious plane of Lappy Walker.
Meanwhile we console ourselves with the reflec
tion that The Georgian represents 60 per cent more
of the real sentiment of Tennessee than The Chat
tanooga Times does.
Welcome to the Druggists,
One of the largest and most Interesting conventions
which has assembled In Atlanta in many years Is the con
vocation of druggists whose dally sessions aro being at
tended with much interest by their friends and brethren
In Atlanta and from other cities of the country.
It la a fact which Is self-evident that the personnel
,of this convention is as attractive as that of any body
which baa ever assembled In Atlanta. The druggists
everywhere In this country are made up of men of un
usual Intelligence, unusual courtesy and are almost with
out exception the most popular, the beat dressed and the
best mannered men In the various towns In which they
live.
It Is doubtful If any organisation which assembles In
the country has on an average neater apparel, more re
fined appearance and better manners than the druggists
of America. And, for this reason, It may be said truth
fully and without flattery that the coming of the druggists
is an event, both socially and commercially, of more than
ordinary Importance.
MoBt of these gentlemen have brought with them
their wives and daughters and the ladleB of their families,
and holding as these people always do, the highest social
position In the various communities from which they
come. Atlanta Is flooded today with the beat and most
charming representatives of nearly a thousand cltle3 In
this great country. North and South. <
The Georgian Joins most heartily In the general wel
come and felicitations which are extended to these
charming visitors upon thetr coming to Atlanta. They
are more than ordinarily welcome to the best things
which our rospltallty can'afford, and If they shall car
ry away to their different and distant homes one-half so
pleasant an Impression of Atlanta as their gifts and
graces have left with us. we are quite sure that the con
ventlon of 1906 will be remembered by all parties as one
of the best and moBt profitable In the history of the na
tional association.

REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAMS,
IN AN EFFECTIVE CARD,
ANSWERS CAPT. HARRISON
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Entertaining the hope that you will
not regard me as Importunate, I re
spectfully request the use of a small
amount of your space that I may re
ply to tho recent cord of Captain W. II.
Harrison.
The newspaper article to whfch I re
ferred In my communication of the 19th
Instant appeared on the first page of an
Atlanta evening newspaper of Monday,
September 17. As to whether Captain
Harrison used the language charged
leave for him and the reporter who
furnished the article to the newspaper
to settle.
I note that Captain Harrison takes
umbrage at my referring to the past
management of the Soldiers* home as
"shameful mismanagement." I, In all
kindness and candor, respectfully Insist
that iny language Is not only abundant
ly Justified by the evidence, but Is ex
tremely mild. No Georgian regrets
more than I that this mismanagement
has beon "shameful,*’ but I call the
attention of the dear captain to the
fact that every newspaper, magazine
or periodical by whatever name pub
lished in this state, that has discussed
the recent Investigation at all has ex
pressed Itself In stronger language
than I. Dozens of these editorials have
been sent me, and I know whereof J
speak.
As to th.e board of trustees, I decline
to permit Captain Harrison to take
shelter behind them. So far as I know,
the trustees are to a man worthy of
every honor conlldlng patriotism can
bestow. The trouble with the Sol
diers* Home was' that the board of
trustees being far removed from the
home, serving without compensation,
left the Institution to the tender mer
cies of their employees In Atlanta.
I presume that Captain Harrison In
tended to enter a plea of guilty when
ho, with all the sourness of his soul, re
ferred to me as "a small man borne
down by the weight of a great name."
The name he happens to wear will live
In history when mine, every part of It,
has perished from ‘the face of the
earth. I call the captuin’s attention to
my name, which Is correctly signed to
this article, so that he will not be sur
prised If at any time In the future he
finds me usurping the prerogative of
his patron saint, Annnlns.
I will, however, remind the dear cap
tain of a conversation I know he will
remember and trust he has the Integ
rity of soul to admit. Captain Harri
son. Hon. John P. Knight nnd I were
standing on Pryor street in Atlnnta, at
the entrance of the Kiser building, a
little after 1 o’clock Monday, September
10, and speaking to me of the Inmates
of the Holdlers* Home, Captain Harri
son Httld: "They are a damned lot of
bums and hoodlums." To this 1 re-
A CHATTANOOGA I8HMAELITE.—When Adolph
S. Ochs, who is really a great tiewspaper man, left
The Chattanooga Times for larger fields in New
York and Philadelphia, ho left on the editorial page
of The Times one of his numerous proteges and de
pendents named Walker—we think, to be accurate,
the name was Ioappy Walker.
The Times might have been better If Ochs had
had time to make a more deliberate selection.
The trouble with Walker has seemed to be
that he has always been bitterly disappointed with
himself, and yet has never been quite able to diag
nose the symptoms of his mental disorder. Not
quite understanding whether he was a Democrat or a
Republican, Walker has always appeared to be a
little hazy in his upper story upon the mooted ques
tion "Where am I at?" and his confusion of Ideas
has many times been evident In speech and action.
The worst of It is that the man has apparently add
ed dyspepsia to the list of afflictions which hla read
ers suffer, and has few good words to say of any
body. His Idea seems to be not so much to criticise
as to injure those with whom he differs, .and the
paragraphs he writes are not so much converstal
ns they are malicious. Even this might be passed
over, but the editor has become so thoroughly changed
into the vulgarian that he Is personally offensive. At
llu> present moment he is con lined strictly to his owu

Two women were laid to rest the
other day at tho same hour, one In
Kansas nnd the other In New York.
The Kansas woman had gone to that
state with her husband and ten chil
dren 40 years ago. They were poor,
but with the hardy spirit of the pion
eers went to work to better their con
dition and rear their six sons and four
daughters to lead useful lives, in those
days life In Kansas meant privation
and unceasing toll. Two years after
this couple had tnken up their home
there the Asiatic cholera broke out.
Instead of fleeing In terror from
the scourge this pioneer woman went
into the dugouts where the epidemic
was raging and nursed the sick back
to life or ministered to them In their
death. After a time she herself be-
came stricken with the plague, but even
then her spirit did not quail. Her
Intelligence and strong will helped her
to combat the disease, nnd she recov
ered, and after the epidemic had abat
ed returned to her family and took up
her household tasks as though she had
done nothing out of the ordinary.
Twenty years Inter her husband died.
Throughout all those years and for
twenty years after his death this brave
woman went about that community in
which she lived doing good. She help
ed, among other things, to organize a
Presbyterian church among her people.
The meanest mendicant was nev£r
turned from her door. She drew gen-
• upon Her earthly anil spiritual
stores to give them eomforr
When she was laid In her grave, the
;'h, the poor, the lame, the halt,
crowded Into the cemetery to pay her
last tribute of love. Today eighty
of her descendants are living.
The other woman, who was laid to
rest In New York, lies In a pauper's
grave. She was found murdered In
her bed, brutally mutilated. Through
out the locality where she lived and
among those *»n the police force who
knew of her there was but one verdict.
It Is well. She was but a base wretch
piled that there were a large number of
men In the home of whom I would not
make such a remark. I have not seen
or heard from Hon. John P. Knight
since our committee adjourned in At
lanta and am willing to leave the ques
tion of mine and the captain's veracity
In this matter with Mr. Knight.
The captain seems to seek to make
the impression that I endeavored to rob
the state In the matter of my charge
made for services rendered In the re
cent Investigation. The captain knows
and ought to have been honest enough
to tell it, that I offered my services to
the state free, and he also knows, and
had he not been endeavoring to reflect
on me particularly should have said
so, that every other member of the In
vestigating committee made out their
bills against the state and Included
every Item that I did.
The humble part I have taken In pro
voking and prosecuting this investiga
tion I expected to give offense to many,
but I am astounded that a Confederate
veteran, who claims a war record
made during the war, has assumed
toward me and the purpose of the In
vestigation the hostile and bitter atti
tude of Captain Harrison.
There are In the Soldiers’ Home
About 90 of ns good men as any 90 men
In Georgia. These men are old and
feeble and gray, and when they, on the
occasion of my first visit to that insti
tution, having hc.ird of me as a friend
of that remnant remaining of men who
wore the gray, came to me In confi
dence and, with Ups aquiver and tear-
dlmmed oyes, recounted the terrible
yvronga which they had been forced to
endure, I then and there consecrated
all that I have and am to tho purpose
of making as bright and happy as pos
sible the few days remaining to them.
If I must, in performing this cove
nant, offend my best friend, I plead as
a full Justification the debt of love
owe every man who wore the gray.
Two or three citizens of the state
capftol building and one newspaper
reporter have sworn vengeance against
me. but to counter-balance this I have
received from hundreds of the very best
Veterans, Sons of Veterans and Daugh
ters of Veterans that live in any land
their personal assurance of gratltudo
for what hns been brought to pass.
While I live, the Confederate Sol
diers’ Home of Georgia shall be an
ideal, actual home. In every way worthy
of Georgia. I am persuaded that the
trustees, the present efficient superin
tendent, stewardess and nurse ore la
boring ns earnestly as I to accomplish
this high purpose, and since In this
undertaking we are bound together by
a love stronger than death Is strong, 1
confidently expect the last days of these
honored guests of the state to be their
best days.
Yours truly.

The chief sentence In the doctrine of
pessimism when that doctrine Is re
duced to Its last analysis Is, "What’i
the use?”
What’s the use of anything, anyway?
says the pessimist. We are In a world
that Is governed by cosmic law, which
we can not change. If pleasure Is to
come It will come, but we won't find
much pleasure in our pleasure. If sor
row Is to come It will come, and In the
sorrow of life we’ll find the pleasure
of life, knowing that sorrow Is Inev
itable. /
What’s the use of anything, anyway
walls the pessimist. The man you
think is your friend Is simply watting
for a chance to do you up, the man
you regard as the honest man Is sim
ply waiting his chance to make a grab.
Every apple on the tree of life is a dead
sea apple, beautiful, perhaps, on the
outside, but within full of dry dust
and bitterness and acidity.
What's the use of anything, anyway?
moans the pessimist. If we build
house today, tomorrow a fire will come
and sweep It away, a cyclone will strike
It and It will be rased to the ground.
If we establish a city, behold an earth
quake will come and destroy it, and If
we work for our children, when they
come to manhood’s estate they will
turn and rend us.
This Is the doctrine of pessimism,
the doctrine of despair.
Over against that doctrine, the doc
trine of the pessimist, place the doc
trine of the optimist. The doctrine of
the man who believes, with Mrs. WIggs,
of the Cabbage Patch, that:
The optimist recognises the opera
tions of cosmic law. He knows that
friends sometimes prove traitors, that
fires, earthquakes and cyclones are
sure to come. He knows these things!
But he says to himself, "These things
are not the end of life. They are sim
ply Incidents In the career of life and
In the swinging of the world to better
things.” Instead of seeing only the
blackness of the cloud, he sees behind
every storm cloud a rainbow, and he
Rears the message of the rainbow,
rather than the mesaagb of the cloud,
and rests content In the promise: "While
earth remaineth, seed time and harvest
and cold and heat and summer and
winter nnd day and night shall not
cease."
The adherent of the doctrine of pess
imism never built a railroad through
the Rocky Mountains, never swung a
Brooklyn bridge over an East river,
never erected a telescope and discov
ered a Pittsburgh, never transmuted
the gold of the hills Into a children's
hospital. It’s the optimist who does
these things. The pessimist writes over
the door of his house: "No more be
yond—Sorrow, confusion, pain Is the
end." While the optimist writes In
letter* of fire, "More beyond." Sorrow,
confusion, pain are only the processes
through which the end is reached, and
the end Is the uplift of the race, and
the coronation of righteousness.
Pessimism Is the doctrine of despair.
Tho beief that the Eternal has get
the world running nnd hns taken His
hand off the controller brake. Optlm
Ism believes that "God's on Ills throne,
that He animates all space und ail'

the atrophy of the* sensibilities,
