OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning itsowngas and elec
tric light plants, as it now owns its water worlds. 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

The Election of Wednesday.
The'electlon of tomorrow Is one which should en
gage the thoughtful intention 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 tills time has given full and defi
nite explanation of the meaning of this Institution. The
court of appeals Is absolutely necessary to sustain and
co-operate with the ovorcrowded and overworked su
preme court of the state. It Is co-ordinated with the
supreme court so ns to avoid conflict of authority. Its
proceedings are more speedy than those of the supremo
court. It will tnko about 40 per cent of tho cases from
the supreme court of Georgia, and oven thon tho supremo
court will ho called upon to decldo more caBos than any
other court of last resort lu tho United 8tates. Tho de
cision of this court In its Jurisdiction Is Anal and ex
clusive, and its decisions will only come before the su
preme court In thoso rare cases where a constitutional
question Is raised, or where tho judges of tho court of
appeals on their own motion ask from tho supreme court
a further construction of tho law. In tho Jmlgmont of
the best Inwyers and In the Interests of tho vast litigation
In property and In affairs carried on In this state, the
court of appeals Is an absolute necessity which the peo
ple of Goorgla should voto Into existence by an over
whelming majority.
Tho state Is rich In the number and quality of tho
distinguished Jurists who are offering for tho- three Judi
cial positions created, by this court. Tho Georgian can
not possibly take sides between a Held so full of capa
ble, upright and distinguished lawyors. In tho four can
didates from our own city, and tho eight or ten candi
dates from different sections of tho state, tho voters of
Georgia wtll flml an abundant opportunity to equip
that court with'the loftiest character and the largest
legal culturo In the state, and wo feel sure that tho de
cision of tomorrow's ballots will give us throe sound and
able jurists In this position.
Tho election of a railroad commissioner Is a matter
of much Importance, and Tho Georgian hns already called
earnest and cordial attention to tho character and at
tainments of the Hon. 8. G. McLendon, tho regular Dem
ocratic nominee for that position. Tho state hns rarely
had an opportunity to elevnto a better citizen, n more
amply equipped expert, or a nobler gentleman, than In
the regular nominee.
The ,’rentlon of the new county of lion Hill Is a
measure which lies very near to tho hearts of the people
of Georgia. The Georgian was tho only dally In tho state
which wrote editorial appeal to tho legislature for tho
creation of lien Hill county, and wo feel confident that
both from the geographical reasons which control It, nnd
better still from the loftiest sentiment of pride In the Il
lustrious Georgian which moved It, tho people of Geor
gia will he glad to write tho nnme of Hen Hill across
one of the great subdivisions of the state.
Locally the people of Fulton county are profoundly In
terested In tho choice of the best nnd wisest men to
take part In shaping the legislation. Improving tho
highways, directing the police, and disbursing tho mon
eys of the county In the ofllco of county commissioner.
We trust that this very Important question to tho pcoplo
of our own county will not be lost sight of, nnd that the
most earnest nnd careful attention may be given to the
matter In the conscientious and Intelligent ballots of tho
people.
Taken all In all, the election of tomorrow Is of unu-
gunl Importance, and we sincerely trust that tho ballots
will tndlcato the general Interest of the pcoplo lu tho Is
sues which are at stake.
His speech made a bit, he began to study law and
thenceforward he wits one of the moving spirits In In
diana.
This Is one of the "simple annals of the poor,” but It
Is an Inspiring one. It was one of the opportunities fur
nished by this great republic of ours, apd Hanley Im
proved It to tho very beat advantage. There are thou-
sandi of young men who can do likewise.
An Indiana Cincinnatus.
People are always glad to read of tho Cincinnati of
the fields, who enter politics nnd mako 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 tired his young ambition.
He worked as a hired man on the farms In the neigh
borhood of the very farm where Lincoln hail worked. Ho
became a famous digger of tile ditches when the furmers
began to drain the flat lands.
But he was like the ditch to which the Spanish
grande llkoned himself—the more dirt he lost the greater
he grew. Ho nursed ambitions, and couhl he heard mak
ing speeches and appealing to the chair on tho point
of order. Lincoln, too, had split rails, you know.
While the other ditchers Blept young Hanley read
and studied and made speeches. About this time he be
gan attending the debates at the country school house,
and became one of the beat In the hunch. One day the
connty chairman called on young Hanley to mako a
speech. He climbed out and put on hts clothes—his
'other" clothes. That was the last uf his dltch-digglug.
The Rank Injustice of Some Northern
Newspapers.
The newspapers of the North and West have In the
main been reaeonable, 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 end The Chicago Examiner was sent
out entire by The Post on the same night as an Asso
ciated Press dispatch and was read on Monday the 24th
by nearly seven millions of readers In different parts of
the 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 the papers failed to express their un
favorable criticism of Atlanta, and while no one of them
failed to condemn the Inwless element, the bulk of the
representative newspapers, In full view of the provoca
tion, restrained the expression of bitterness and denun
ciation, nnd a very larger number of them, including
The 8prlngfleld Republican, expressed an unusual and un
expected symputhy 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 n vast number of pcoplo In the North who are
coming more and more to entertain the Southern view
that the crime transcendent—the crime of all crimps—tho
unpardonable sin In the South—Is a criminal assault upon
the body of a virtuous and unprotected white woman.
But there are some newspnpers of note In the Eastern
nnd Central States which have been shameful and wan
ton In their blind bitterness am. prejudice, and In their
gross nnd unpardonnble misstatement of the facts upon
which they base a flery and unscrupulous denunciation of
Atlanta and the South. The Boston Transcript, as might
have been expected; The New York Mall and The Posi,
by forco of hnblt, and strangely enough, Tom Grasty's
paper, The Baltimore Evening News, have led the list
of the fanntlcs and the vlllflers of the city and section.
These papers more especially have totally misrepre
sented tho whole attitude And utterance of The Georgian,
which, since Its Inception, has been as conservative aa It
hns been deflnlto upon the negro question. Since The
Georgian was born In April, It has advocated as a policy
the recognized suprmnney of tho Saxon or Caucasian race.
It has not failed upon occasion to express the belief
that there was no permanent solution of the negro ques
tion short of a separation of tho races—In which view
Jefferson nnd Webster and Clay nnd Everett and Madison
and Monroe and Lincoln and Grady belloved. Outside of
these lines it has been conservative and kind In all Its
relations toward the negro. It has led successfully
tho inoroment which Anally Induced the negro leaders,
editors, preachers and teachers of tho negro race to fall
In with the whlto man In preaching hell and damnation
to tho rapist, Instead of breathing all their energies Into
protest against lynching. It hns led tho negro leaders
to fight the cause rather than the effect, and It has never
achieved a better result for both races than to bring
about this almost unanimous co-operation of tho negro
leaders for the suppression of rape'.
Unfortunately this co-operation came too late for the
present crisis.
Since the rosponBe of tho negro londors to Its propo
sition Tho Georgian up to the very day of the tragedy
has preached the doctrlno that rape was no longer to be
treated as a crime ot race, but ns a crime of individuals,
and that It was to ho studied hereafter as our experts
wore studying smallpox nnd yellow fever—for Its germs.
And yet In spite of this conservative attitude these,
rabid und frothing newspaper fanatics whom wo hnvo
named, hnvo denounced Tho Georgian ns tho Incarna
tion of overy Injustice and ot nit Jjltternesg toward the
negro, and as tho author ot tho fiery appeals which led to
tho riot.
This Is simply lnfamons In Its Injustice to a contone
pornry who nt tho distance of a thousand miles has no
opportunity to defena himself or to deny tho falsehoods
In which he Is defamed.
Tho worst of It |g that each of these papers credit
tho editor of The Georgian with being tho editor of the
spnpor upon which he turned his back forever six
months ngo, and hold him responsible for tho wild nnd
revolutionary mouthtngs of n little paper which few peo
ple read and vastly fewor people respect.
Wn have a right, In simple justice, to request our
contemporaries who have any regard for fairness nnd
the ethics of Journalism, to set tis right at least upon this
Iiolnt—to writo us down opposite to our own editorial
page, and not to hold us responsible (or the editorial ut

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.
Pew men in this generation of Journalism object
to legitimate criticism, but there are few newspaper
men In this 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 50 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 are being at
tended with much Interest by theli^ friends and brethren
In Atlanta and from other cities of the country.
It Is a fact which Is Bclf-evldent that th^ personnel
of this convention Is as attracUve as that of any body
whlch has ever assembled in AtlZnta. 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 best dressed and the
best mannered men"In the various towns In which they
live.
It Is doubtful If any organization 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 troth
fully and without flattery that the coming of the druggists
Is an event, both socially and commercially, of more than
ordinary Importance.
Most of these gentlemen have brought with them
their wives and daughters and the ladles 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 best and most
charming representatives of nearly a thousand cities In
this great country, North and South.
The Georgian Joins moat heartily In tho general wel
come and felicitations which are extended to these
charming visitors upon their 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 tholr different and distant homes one-half so
pleasant an Impression of Atlanta as their gifts and
graces hare left with us, we are qulto sure that the con
vention of 1906 will be remembered by all parties as one
ot the best and most profitable In the history of the na
tional association.
REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAMS,,
IN AN EFFECTIVE CARD,
ANSWERS CAPT. HARRISON
A CHATTANOOGA I8HMAELITE.—When Adolph
S. Ochs, who Is really a great newspaper man, left
The ChnttnnooRa Times for larger fields In New
York and Philadelphia, he left on the editorial page
of Tho Times one of his numerous proteges and de
pendents named Walker—we think, to be accurate,
the name was Lappy Walker. -
The Times might have been bettor If Ochs had
had time to make a more deliberate selection.
The troublo with Walker has seemed to be
that he has always been bitterly disappointed with
himself, and yet has never been quite abfo to diag
nose the symptoms of his mental disorder. Not
quite understanding whether he was u Democrat or a
Republican, Walker has always appeared to he a
little hazy in his upper story upon tho mooted ques
tion "Where am I .it?” and his confusion of Ideas
has many times been evident In speech and action.
The worst of It Is that the man hns apparently add
ed dyspepsia to the list of afflictions which his 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 conversed
us they are malicious. Even this might be passed
over, hut the editor has become so thoroughly changed
into the vulgarlnn that he Is personally offensive. At
the preseut moment he is confined strictly to his owu
To ths Editor of The Georgian:
Entertaining the hope that you *wlll
not regard me as Importunate, 1
spectfully request the use of a small
amount of your space that I may re-
R|y to the recent card of Captain W. H.
Harrison.
The newspaper article to which 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 my 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 been "shameful," but 1 call the
attention of tho 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. Dosens of these editorials have
been sent me, and I know' whereof I
speak.
As to the board of trustees, I decline
to permit CAptaln Harrison to take
shelter behind them. So far as 1 know,
tho trustees are to a man worthy of
every honor confiding 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
he, with all the sourness of his soul, re
ferred to me as "a small man borne
down by the weight of a great name."
Tho name he happens to wear will livo
in history when mine, every part of It,
has perished from the face of the
earth. I call the captain's attention to
my name, which is correctly signed to
this article, so that ho will not be sur
prised If at any time in the future he
finds me usurping the prerogative of
his patron saint, Ananias.
I will, however, remind the dear cap
tain of a conversation I know hjl will
remember and trust he 1ms the Integ
rity of soul to admit. Cnptnln Harri
son. Hon. John P. Knight nnd I were
standing on Pryor street In Atlanta, at
the entrance of the Kiser building, a
little after 1 o'clock Monday, September
10, nnd speaking to me of the Inmates
of the Soldiers' Home, Captain Harri
son said: "They are a damned lot of
bums nnd hoodlums." To this I re-

Two women were laid to rest tho
other #day nt the same hour, one In
Kansas nnd tho 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 tho 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 lh*es. In those
days life in Kansas mennt privation
and unceasing toll. Two years after
this couple had taken up theJr 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 nnd nursed the sick hack
to life or ministered to them In their
death. After a time she herself be
came stricken with tho plague, but even
then her spirit did not quail. Her
Intelligence and strong will helped her
to combat the disease, and she recov
ered, und after the epidemic had abut
ed returned to her family nnd 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. Hhe help
ed, among other things, to organize a
Presbyterian church among her people.
The meanest mendicant was never
tqrneil from her door. Hhe drew gen
erously upon her earthly und spiritual
ores to give them comfort.
When she was laid In her grave, the
rich, the poor, the lame, the halt,
crowded Into the cemetery to pay her
a 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. Hhe wns found murdered in
her bed, brutally mutilated. Through
out the locality where she lived and
among those on th<* police force who
knew of her there was hut one verdict.
It is well. Hhe was hut a base wretch
who never did anything hut evil.” That
Is her epitaph. All who had conn*
within the drift of her life had been
degraded. Hhe hail shuttered homes,
lured young boys and girls to their
ruin, had aimed to steal her living rath
er than earn a dollar. Cunningly she
piled that there were a large number of
men In the home of whom 1 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 tho captain's veracity
In this matter with Mr. Knight.
The captain seems to seek to make
the Impression that X 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 ho 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 commttteo made out their
bills against the state and Included
every item that I did.
The humble part I have taken In pro
voklng and prosecuting this Investiga
tion 1 expected to give offense to many,
hut I am astounded that a Confederate
veteran, who claims a war record
made during the w*ar, has assumed
toward me and the purpose of the In
vestigation the hostile nnd bitter atti
tude of Captain Harrison.
TJiere are In the Soldiers’ Homo
about 90 of ns good men as any 90 men
In Georgia. These men are-old and
feeble and gray, nnd when they, on the
occasion of my first visit to that insti
tution, having heard of me as a friend
of that remnant remaining of men who
wore the gray, earned to me in confi
dence and, with Ups aqulver and tear-
dlmmed ©yes, recounted the terrible
wrongs which they had been forced to
endure, I then and there consecrated
nil that I have and am to the 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 os
a full Justification the debt of love I
owe every man who wore the gray.
Two or three citizens of the state
capttol building and one newspaper
reporter have sworn vengeance against
me, hut to counter-balance this I have
recelvod from hundreds of the very best
Veterans, Soitb of Veterans and Daugh
ters of Veterans that live in any land
their personal assurance of gratitude
for what has 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 are la
boring ns earnestly ns I to accomplish
this high purpose, nnd since In this
undertaking we are bound together by
a love stronger than death is strong, I
confidently expect tho Inst days of these
honored guests of the state to be their
best days.
Yours truly,

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
The chief sentence in the doctrine of
pessimism when thAt doctrine la re
duced to. its last analysis is, "What's
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
pome 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 waiting
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 8weep 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 nnd 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. Wlggs,
of the Cabbage Patch, that:
"In the mud and scum of things
Something always, always sings."
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 slm-
>1y incidents in the career of life and
n 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
hears the message of the rainbow,
rather than the message of the cloud,
and rests content In the promise: "While
earth remalneth, seed time and harvest
and cold and heat and summer and
winter and 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 Plttsburgla, 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—Borrow, confusion, pain Is the
end." While the optimist writes In
letters 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 or righteousness.
Pessimism is the doctrine of despair.
The # belief that the Eternal has set
the world running and has taken His
hand off the controller bruke. Optim
ism believes that "God’s on His throne,
that He animates all spnee and all’s
right In the world.” It doesn’t pay to
give way to pessimism, for it lends to
the atrophy of the sensibilities. It
does pay to work and rejoice with the

Every lover of Mark Twain's "Tom !
Sawyer"—and who Is there who doe,

American country boy In American
literature?—will read with regret ot
the death of the original Tom Sawyer
In San Francisco. Sawyer, that was
his real name, was a pioneer steam
boat engineer, veteran volunteer lire,
man and vigilante, and In the early
days was a friend of Mark Twain.
He was born In New York, January
1827. He went fo California In 1850
and was first employed as a marine
engineer. He waa un* of the organ
izers of the volunteer fire-department,
and later waa a member of the regular
department. For the last twenty-rtv,
years he conducted a saloon in Mission
street, which was a museum of relic,
of pioneer days.

They first blindfolded her, then put
her In a go-cart and wheeled her (rom
her home, through the street*, to Al

the Initiation ceremony. They made

And it was for those paltry savings
that she was murdered.
Two women who lived at the same
time nnd were burl-d nt the same time.
One sought to elevate humanity, the
other to degmde. It Is said that the
woman who lies in the pauper's grave
was a misanthrope, that the last words
any one ofrpr heard full from her lips
were curses upon her Maker because
she had ever born born. And the wom
an who lies In that little cemetery In
Central Kansas said, as she lay on her
death bed: ”1 am not afraid of death,
but would like to live longer. There
is so much to be done.” Two women!
And the works of both shall live after;
sought to save some purl ot her stolen them.

What's the use of nursing trouble,
Like a baby In your lap?
Whnt's the use 'of keeping brightness
Locked up like mice In a trap?
tin the Tramp of Life be cheerful,
Give the troubles all a rent;
If you have them, hide them safely
Out of sight beneath your vest,
Thinking of your woe* and worries
Never brought you In a cent.
And your aches and sorrows
Never helped you pay the rent.
Oh. the world will share your gladness!
But when your henrt’s on the pine.
It turns Ita back and leaves you
