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 Subscribers falling to reeolvs THE GEORGIAN promptly and regularly, and readers who can not purchase the paper where THE GEORGIAN should be on aala, are requested to communicate with the Circulation Manager without delay, and the oom- plaint will reoeiva prompt attention.

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 terances cf a newspaper with which wo havo nothing In common—either In thlB world or In tho 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. 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."

O O O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 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.

O000OOOO00O0L*000000000000 O WHAT’8 THE USE? O 0 By John Andsrson Jayne. 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 GOSSIP By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. New York, Oct. 2.—True to ,h, Roosevelt trait of going after what I, wanted, and generally getting It. yo un .
