The laurels and crowns for gallant daring and excel- lent service have been freely distributed by the public voices of Atlanta among the many Individuals and organi sations who have participated effectively In the pro- tectioh and good order of the city during our recent strenuous week. Songs of praise have been sung to the colonel of the Fifth regiment, to his gallant officers and to his splendid men. Words of approval have boen spoken for the may or and the police. Strong commondatlon has been ut tered for the sheriff and his deputies. And. most of the heroes In the recent unpleasantness have received their reward In the chorus’of approval which comos from their fellow citizens. There yet remains one class as richly entitled to ap plause and ndmlrntlon ns any that have yet been named. No word of approval has yet been spoken of their pa tient, heroic and unfaltering devotion to essential duty during this week of danger and uncertainty. In season and out of season, day and night, In rain or shine, moving along the turbulent highways and passing through bat- • terles of guns In the hands of rioters on the one band and negroes on the other—In the suburbs of the town, shot at by the lawless, and made the center of half the assaults and sieges of the fateful night of the 22d of Sep tember—and yot without a murmur, without complaint, without hesitation and without faltering for one moment In the high and courageous discharge of their duty, tho conductors and motormsn of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company have remained at their posts and con ducted their difficult and yet essential duties with the courage of Spartans and the fidelity of Casablanca. No body of men who nave yet been mentioned de serve more credit and are entitled to richer praise than this gallant nnd faithful company of men—mostly young men—who have won so much of the good will and confi dence of their fellow, citizens. We trust It Is not yet too late to lift our hats In re spect to the splendid compnny of conductors nnd motor- men Who run the street railways of Atlanta. We Oppose the Peachtree Boulevard. it Is by no means because our esteemed contemiiorn- ry of The Journal Is advocating the removal of tho •treet car tracka from Peachtree street that Tho Geor gian feels Itself moved to oppose the proposition. We agree with The Journal In so many larger things that we can well afford to differ from It In some of the little things In which Its foot occasionally slips. And in this particular matter, whllo wo are acquit- Ung The Journal of any personal selflshness In tho mat ter, we do not hesitate to say that the proposition seems set almost exclusively to the Interests of tho aristocratic few against the convenience of the many. The Interviews which our coutompornry offers to the public favoring this proposition, come In tho mnln from those who are fortunate enough to own automobiles nnd handsome equipages which make them entirely indepen dent of the atreet cars and indifferent to their location upon any street. But we feel confident that the great majority of the people of Peachtree atreet would be seriously Inconven ienced and therefore seriously opposed to the removal of the street car service upon which they now depend. There nre scarcely two-sevenths of tho people on Peachtree street who own carriages or automobiles. There aro fully five-sevenths who aro dependent upon their passage to and from the heart of the city upon the atreet car tinea which pass in front of their doors. Peo ple of moderate meant, busy people, merchants, ladles who abop and people who board, would all find It a very great Inconvenience to walk to another street In order to board a car for the trip to tnwu. The transverse blocks on both aides of Peachtreo street are very long-blocks and the time consumed In walking them would be bnd enough in dry weather, but n very great Inconvenience In wet weather. In addition to tho fact that coming from an opposite block they would be compelled to wait In tho open for the arrival of tho cars. More than this, Peachtree street Is the great beauty street of Atlanta. It la our moat beautiful thoroughfare. We are all proud of It and delighted to show It to our visitors and to have our visitors carry home with them a remembrance of this beautiful avenue of stately homes. To do this now It Is perfectly easy for a citizen of small means to carry his guests on n street car ride for the full length of the street or have tho occasional visi tor at small expense to take a Peachtree car and ride up and down Ita length to see the rclsdr«-e heart of the city. Both of these classes would be completely thrown out of plumb by the necessity of hiring a cab, or a car riage, or an automobile at considerable expense, or ns an alternative to let the ramous thoroughfare go unseen. It Is a notable fact that Euclid avenue, universally conceded to be the most beautiful residence street In America, Is traversed from end to end by the street rail way system. It Is so with the almost equally famous Delaware avenue In Buffalo. It Is true among the most beautiful streets In the beautiful city of homes, that wo call Bt. Louts. It Is true In Auburn, Avondale. Clifton— suburbs of Cincinnati, and wo scarcely know a city of Importance In the country on which its proud nnd noblest thoroughfare 1s not laid open to the observation and en joyment of the people through this open mode of trans portation. For those reasons. The Georgian feels moved to pro test In behalf of the majority of the people of Peachtree street against the proposition to i amove Us chief con venience and Its greatest facility for tho greatest number of individuals. We feel that It would be unjust to the majority of our fellow citizens who love to travel up and down this thoroughfare. Of course, If the time ever comes when any very pronounced majority of the residents of Peachtree street should petition the city council to remove the street ear tracks. The Georgian would feel, whatever Its personal preference, that It bad nothing more to say and no fur ther right to protest But for tha present at least, and with our present light, and under present conditions, we feel that-the prop osition of removal will Inure only to the benefit of the rich and fortunate few and will reault In great-lnconven Icnce, and loaa to the many of moderate means. So that we trust that the city council will render an unfavorable answer to the proposition when It comes be fore that body. Atlanta’s Pressing Need. It la an open question whether a great armory and convention hall would not be as useful to Atlanta at this time as the expos'itlon which wo so earnestly advocated, and which now In all human probability we will post pone. Certainly there are some sound and able citizens who believe that the armory and convention halt would fill the greatest and most practical need of this great city at the present time. Atlanta is the natural convention city of the NcW South. There Is not an organization of any kind In the republic that does not listen kindly to an In- vltatlon to come here for their annual sessions, and there arc few organizations which have ever declined when suffl clently and properly urged to visit us. If this Is true In the past, it-will-undoubtedly be more and more true in the future, becauee Atlanta’s fame Is ever growing, Its cen trallty Is recognized, nnd Its representative character for progress and liberality Is always'growlng throughout the republic. Tha one handicap that we have had to our prof fered hospitality In the past has been tho narrowness and restricted scope of our convention hall. Wo have had to shift about from place to place, from hall to hall, some times going to the capltot, sometimes traveling two miles to Piedmont park, sometimes borrowing the use of the state capitol from the state authorities to make a hall of assembly for our gueats, but never anywhere or at nny time foellng confident or satisfied In our capacity to give ■them thq scope or room which they demanded. We have an Illustration of this defect during tho present week. This large nnd splendid company of the druggists of America have had to split Into sections in order to hold their great meetings and to give scope to their deliberations. We are going to have a much more Impressive object lesson within tho next fortnight when the carriage build ers and wagon makers, numerically the greatest organi zation which over met In Atlanta In answer to our offer of hospitality, are coming to find that we have nothing within the convenient limits of tho city that Is large enough to house them and to mako them comfortable In their deliberations while they nre here. Tho very urgency of this necessity ought to be tho strongest appeal to tho active and diligent workors among our citizens. Wo have already stressed the urgent need of this great building for the use of our citizens' soldiery, we do not need to recapitulate that argumont. These splendid volunteers who have so recently demonstrated their courage and loyalty and willingness to brave danger and to lose rest and to sleep on their arms during tho moist and dampness of the early fall, has emphasized as nothing else hns ever done the grateful duty of this peo ple to provide for their comfort and,convenience, and In so doing to provide for our own peace, protection and welfare. If wo are not to have tho exposition wo are thoroughly convinced that the subsenoora to that great enterprise can do nothing better than to contribute the wholo, or at least the major part, of their subscriptions to Atlanta's chief and pressing necessity for an armory nnd conven tion hall. ‘ A Brave,Clear Editor of the Northwest. The bravest, broadoat and talreat comment yet made by a Northern newspaper upon .tho Atlanta riot Is tho editorial which wo quote today from Tho Minneapolis Tribune. Tho editor of The Tribune Is one of the ablest and most Influential men of the great northwest. He Is a leador of tho Republican party, and Is reckoned a scholar and thinker of a superior order. The Tribune Is one of the two great papers of the northwest. It Is refreshing and Inspiring to find an Americanism so broad that it can rise above the mists of partisanship or the narrow lines of section and view a great question In Its true and just perspective. Fow men have tile great capacity to see both sides of a question, nnd when you discover such a man you lmvo found one of the great souls of his time. No other Northern editor has Illustrated such a clear conception of tho conditions of the South, and no other hns been so frank and true In expressing an ap preciation of the enormous provocation which sometimes moves tho South to a violation of tho law. The clear mind of The Tribune seems callable of put ting itself for a moment In the place of tho people whom It Judges, and while Tho Tribune docs not for a moment uphold the mob. It recognizes, as few papers are broad enough to recognlzo, the monstrous provocation which makes the mob. And like tho frank, brave gentleman that he la. the editor of Tho Tribune does not hestltate to put It up to his own people, whether or not they would have done as Atlanta did—under the same appalling conditions. The Georgian congratulates the South upon having found In the Twin Cities of the great West one great controlling voice which is fair enough to realize Its sur passing problems and frank enough to stats them In words of truth and soberness. Read The Tribune edito rial. OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning ifsown 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 arc, there is no good reason why they can not be so operated here. But we do no! 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 MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTHERN RESOURCES Kpeclal to The Georgian.

With such efficient workers as Mrs. Woodbridge Barnes, of Newark, N. J. f International secretary of the prl mary and junior departments of the Sabbath School; Major K. J. Quinn, who so successfully directed the cam paign for the building of the Atlanta dormitory at the Decatur Orphans' Home; M. M. Davies, secretary for Georgia of the Sunday schools home department; William D. Upshaw, ed itor of The Golden Age, and others well known In Sunday 'school work on hand to tell what they know, there Is no doubt of the rally’s success. Thursday afternoon nnd evening tho attendance nt the meetings held at the new Sunday school room of the Cen tral Presbyterian church represented nearly every Sunday school In Atlanta and suburbs. The speakers In the evening were Major Guinn on "The Organized Sun day School;” Mr. Upshaw, on "The Personal Touch," and Mrs. Barnes on the Junior department work. The mu sic was led by the chorus of the Wes ley Memorial church under the direc tion of A. C. Boatman. Friday’s program follows; Afternoon. 2:45—Home department conference, led by M. M. Davies and cradle roll conference, led by Mrs. Barnes. 3:15—"The Philuthen Movement; What It Means and How to Organize a Class,” Miss Mary 15.

AT THE THEATERS “THE HEIR TO THE HOORAH" SCORES ANOTHER BIG HIT. It whs a source of genuine pleasure to have “The Heir to the Hoorah" In Atlanta again, and of genuine regret that It stayed for only one perform ance. They do not write many like It these days. The plot rather antedates the flood, but the old things arc always tho best and Paul Armstrong worked the ancient Idea up Into new situations and a thoroughly entertaining play. He hovered long around a delicate subject or two and succeeded In bringing out the amusing features without Inflicting on his audience anything that was oven Indelicate. Guy< Bates Post was as clever and convincing as ever and his supporting company was good without exception. I GOSSIP I WOMAN AND HER HUSBAND CROSS NORTHERN LABRADOR Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 4.—Probably the flrat white woman to cross North ern Labrador 1« Mm. Stephen P. M. Tasker, of thin city, who. In company ith her husband, has arrived at Fort Klmo, on the eastern const of the Arctic peninsula, after a trip full of hardships and adventures. A telegram from Domino, by way of Capo Grace, N. F., to Mrs. Tasker’s mother, Mrs. R. Leaman, of 1818 Girard avenue, has been received here. MRS. LONG WORTH TO HEAR “NICK” JOLLY THE BOYS Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. S.—Mrs. Nich olas Longworth Is taking an Interest In her husband's campaign for rc-eloctlon to congress and will attend tho open ing meeting that Is to be held Saturday evening at Music Hall. With a party of friends she will occupy a box near the stage. Congressman Longworth has been given a prominent place on the list of speakers and the meeting will be Mrs. Long worth's first oppor tunity to hear hltn as a political orator at a party rally. Homer Case, of the town of Lafayette. N. Y., be queathed the church choir thore tho sum of ||09 on con dition that the choir would ting "America" every Me morial Day.

Knima t'nlve. the o|ioratlc singer. Is following her usu al summer custom of entertaining every week at her home, at Avlgnou, twenty working girls from Paris. THE ONLY WAY TO AVERT RACE WAR. (From The Minneapolis Tribune.) If the appalling statement of Mr. John Temple Graves be true, the At lanta mob that killed a dozen negroes Sunday may well express, like Cilve In Indln, "surprise at Its own modern lion." There Is no shadow of Justification fbr the massacre, which punished the Innocent for the guilty. Hut a com munity outraged to madness in Its tenderest sentiments never yet remem bered Justice In Its vengeance. The death of the Innocent Is to be deplored ns much ns the escape of the guilty. It Is no defense of mob law to admit the horrid truth that any people living In dally, deadly terror of the worst fate for Ita women from tho lowest Indi viduals of a sepnrate race with which It Is In contact, hopeless of security or retribution from Inw, will fleet destroy the guilty of that race, nnd Anally, If that do not serve, will blend tho In nocent with them In one red slaughter, it Is necessary for the sober and Intel ligent of both races In the South to realize this primitive truth. The North Is learning more reason In Its dealing with the Southern whites. What community anyVhere would en dure the state of things described by Mr. Graves, eleven outrages In a fen- weeks and only four of them punished, ending with four In n single day? What community ought to endure It? That race whose men can not or will not protect Its women Is not flt to continue on earth. There Is only one way to avert the race war whose horrors afflict the Imaginations of both races In the South. The remedy Is In the hands of the great majority of reasonably moral nnd law-abiding negroes. Let them denounce, run down and give up to punishment the guilty minority on all public and private occasions. In churchee, conventions, neighborhood gatherings,' families and Individually. Let them separate themselves from the depraved of their race In lls crime*. In order to win separation In the prompt and wholesale punishment that Is Impending. In oMer that the whole black rnce may be safe In the South, or nnyvhere else, nil the women of the while race must lie safe there. Law has failed to make them safe. Lynching of Individ uals has not done It. What other wai ls there? The one sure and thorough way Is toe dreadful for thought. It would destroy one race and save the other, diminished nnd crippled, only for eternal disgrace on a lower plane of civilization. No race would face this appalling sacrifice for any weaker motive than the salvation of Ita wom en. For that men march to moral and physical death like a soldier to battle. Every terrifying aspect of the race question In the South would disappear In a moment. If the white women could bo assured the universal security they enjoyed till the first generation of blacks born In freedom grew to ma turity. It Is the business of the worthy blacks to establish this security by teaching nnd example, ns they did then. Apparently It can he done In no other way. The fate of the whole race Is in tlielr hand*. “Playing the Gemo.” The first modern comedy presented by Joseph nnd William W. Jefferson which will be seen Friday night' and Saturday at the Grand, Is called "Play ing the Game." It portrays one of the latest phases of New York life, and It Is the work of Cleveland Moffett and Hartley Davis, writers of long experi ence who nre thoroughly familiar with the subject. It Is a comedy of man ners, an Interesting story told In genuine fun, real humor and cheerful optimism. It has real people In It: the kind of people you like to know. Some of them are brilliant, and still others sound a note of pathos and tender sentiment. The JelTersons have given tho comedy a splendid produc tion. The first net Is In one of the hnndsomest rooms of the most famous hotel fn tho world, the Waldorf-As toria In New York, the reading room. This Is reproduced with great fidelity. It cost $600 merely to reproduce the splendid chandeliers of deer’s antlers with their brilliant electric lights, which gives an Idea of the mag nificence of the settings. The Beeond act Is an exact repro ductlon of the studio In the Bryant Park building In New York, and which Is famous on both sides of the Atlan tic. These studios rent at prices rang ing from 13,000 to 17,600 per year. Even New York hasn't so many artists who can pay that, and people wealth with artistic tastes, like Mrs, Ward In "Playing the Game," are al ways glad to rent them when they have the opportunity. The restaurant which Is referred to In the comedy Is the famous Caffc dcs Beaux Arts, which is In the building. Tho studio which Is represented In "Playing the Game," was’ long occupied' by an old friend of one of tho authors. In order to give the scene tho richness and beauty It deserves, the Messrs. Jefferson carry tome of the handsomest and most ex pensive furniture ever seen on the stage. They do not even trust to ob taining grand pianos of the kind they want, so they carry one with them, a very expensive detail, eloquent of the character of the production. Thin proiluftlon will be seen at the Grand for three performances. “Sultsn of Sulu.” An American musical satire will be the attraction at the Grand Monday and Tuesday next. The operetta emanates from the brain of that famous author of “Fables In Slnng." George Adc, nnd the music 1* by Alfred G. Wathatl. It Is entitled "Tho Sultan of Sulu," and deal* with the nrrlvnl of Uncle Sam's expedition to the Philippine Islands to Introduce American civilization nninng the sub ject* of the comic potentate. A large company will be seen In the merry, tuneful operas. BIGHT OF WAY DEEDS FILED WITH CLERK The right of way deeds, of tho new Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail road, gaining entrance Into Atlanta, have been filed In the clerk’* office at the court house. The deed* aggregate a value of I2.5&2, being eleven in num ber and ranging from $200 to $500. Bank of Dakor County. A charter was grunted the Bank of Baker County at Newton—the fiftieth for 1906—Thursday morning by Secre tary of State Phil Cook. Capital stock $25,000; incorporators, David C.

Athsnt Torminal Company, The Athens Terminal Company hur applied for a charter nt the office of the secretary of state. The petition set# forth that a spur track two miles In length Is to be built In Athens nnd Clarke county, the presumption being that It Is to afford terminal facilities for the Centra! railroad. The capital stock Is $25,000 and the Incorporators William H. Mackali, T. M. Cunning ham, Jr., H. W. Johnson, W. V. Davis. J. II. Strous, George Hr Richter, C. L. Heller, Chatham county: William E.

With three tnoro performances to Its credit the Hap Ward Company will bring to a close a most successful week at the Bijou. Few attractions appearing at the Bijou In recent years have given the universal satisfaction that may be credited to this show. There Is not a dull moment from start to finish. Hap Ward Is a prime favorite with local theatergoers and he Is ably as sisted by Lucy Daly and Fred Wyckoff. The chorus In made up of the prettiest bunch of girls seen here lately. The music Is tuneful and the comedy Is of the sort that creates laughter without an effort. Taken a* a whole the performance U splendid and It merits all the largo crowds tlyit are going to the Bijou this week. Yorke and Adams Next. Yorke and Adams are coming! This announcement mean# a week of Joyous mirth to all who have heard them be fore and to all to whom the exquisite experience will be new. In "Bankers and Brokers” Yorke and Adams offer a new musical comedy, a tuneful trifle, brimful of rollicking humor and em bowered with a bevy of pretty girls nnd clever comedians. Brilliant cos tumes, elaborate scenery nnd novel ef fects will all contribute toward round- | Ing out an entertainment complete In every particular. A rattling good time may be anticipated by nil who attend ' the performance at the Bijou next week. •’ By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. New York, Oct. 6.—“May the tire of your husband'* love never explode.
