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.

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. iGOSSipl : i ........—.......— 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."

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 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O O O LIVE8 LOST AND FOUND. O O O O By Irene Gardner. O O O 000<W<HM»OOOOaOO<HXH>0<KKJOO 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.

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' right In the world.” It doesn’t pay to give way to pessimism, for It lends to the atrophy of the* sensibilities, does pay to work and rejoice with the By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER.
