Choosing Our Own Immigrats.
It Is with the gratification of the vindicated that The
Georgian notes the admirable method which our sister
state of Booth Carolina Is employing in inducing Immigra
tion of the right kind to come to the help of that splendid
and progressive commonwealth.
To read Its efforts and methods In this direction Is
to point the way of wisdom to our Georgia agencies work'
ing toward the same end.
Commissioner E. .1. Watson, head of the department
of agriculture, commerco and Immigration of South Caro
lina, noyr In Europe working to turn the tide of Immigra
tion In the United States southward, Is In Berlin after
visiting various partB of Germany, France, Belgium and
Holland.
In an official outline of his work given to the Ameri
can consul at Ghent Mr Watson says:
"I have long believed that the only practical solution
of what Is now rapidly becoming tho great Immigration
problem of the United States rests In the work of selec
tion and direction of Immigrants, ns far as possible, at
their own homes before they sre hooked and started to
America. I have therefore undertaken to put our work
In Europe uiion such a basis that we can send Into the
South, where thousands can bo readily absorbed, care
fully selected persons particularly fitted for the work
that will be required of them.
"One of tho greatest difficulties has been In the fact
that there has been no trans-atlantlc steamship line en
tering a South Atlantic port carrying third class passen-
S irs. I havo (succeeded In having this defect curod by
during the North German Lloyd to make the experi
ment looking to the establishment of a permanent line
between Bremen and the port of Charleston, and the
first ship, the Wlttekind. Is to sail on October 18. This
puts within our grasp, if the Southern peoplo accept the
chance offered, the means of carrying the agricultural
and laboring emigrant direct to a section in which re
munerative work and a good home await him, and where
he will be directed by officials Instead of labor agencies,
and have the fostering caro of the state itself thrown
around him.
“The attempt to open this new trana-atlnntlc line
to the South Atlantic coast of the United States may be
attributed almost solely to the efforts of Director von |
Pills, of the North Germrn Lloyd, who visited these states
about eighteen months ago studying business and eco
nomic conditions, and who returned to Germany con
vinced of the splendid opportunity for tho development
of oommerce and Immigration In that part of tho world.
He has been Instrumental In orgenitlng the American
Colonisation Company, the purpose of which Is to take
desirable settlers whore they can find good homes and
opportunities for success. He hns also looked to tho value
of the commerco of the South Atlantic States and to him
la due the credit of the announcement of freight rates to
Charleston Identical with those of New York. He has
manifested his confidence in tho South, and It only re
mains for the Southern people to do their part. It would
be difficult to estimate tbe value of what Director von
Pllla has undertaken to do to the future of tho South. I
have been merely londtng the helping hand. Our Iminl-
K itlon operations are to be confined entirely to Northern
rope."
Now this Is tbe way. When we can select our own
Immigrants the problem of immigration and the problem
of labor will both be solved.
It must come to this at last. Indiscriminate ImmI-
(ration gathered from Southern Europe and from any
dess that will come Is worao than the negro problem
end complicates our national problem. But wisely se
lected Immigrants Induced by honest reasons and fair
statements to come to us from stalwart races and stable
sections, are the hope of our Industry and the safely of
our race.
those organizations, could be disposed to deny to the great
mass of laboring men the Bame right to stand together as
a united rank for the benefit of their trades and for the
welfare of themselves and their families.
President Hugo urgently fmpresees upon the bottlers'
association the necessity for active and vigorous union,
and yet his attack is notably vigorous and severe upon
the cooperative organizations of the employees who do
the work for this great Industry.
The Georgian does not desire to go extensively Into
the discussion of this question here. Tbe single point we
wish to emphasize Is the Idea of fair play and equal rights
by the employer and the employee. The same motives
which inspire the employers to Join themselves In Intel!)'
gent co-operation with other employers, are the motives,
however differently expressed, which move the employees
to Join themselves to other employees to ask for reason
able concessions and to protest against apparently unjust
demands.
We trust that the bottlers will have a pleasant and
p foil table session in Atlanta. We trust that their emi
nent president and officers will come.In touch with our
own labor -unions In Atlanta and realize how happily
and wholesomely labor and capital have always kept the
peace In this metropolis of Georgia.
For here, If anywhere, we have the conservatism
and the conditions which reconcile these apparently con
Aiding classes of our citizenship, and we have no records
of war or bitterness between them.
1 OUR PL A TFORM—The Georgian stands for A tlanla's Owning its own gas and elec
tric light plants, as it now owns its water n>or£j. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents,
with a profit to tbe 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
President Hugo’s Speech Extreme.
Without abating In the least degreo the warmth of
our welcome to the Bottlers' Association now asaembled
In Atlanta, and without questioning in any way the right
of Its distinguished president to express his views upon
any question which concerns the association, The Geor
gian desires after Its own coneervatlve fashion, to take
Issue with President Hugo In bis view upon labor unions.
His speech of Tuesday appears to us to be both Il
logical and extreme. It Is too late In this advanced age
of fraternity and equality for any men of any calling dls-
tlncUy, coherently organised for mutual Interests and mu
tual protecUon, to deny to other men the same right
which they themselves enjoy of banding themselves to
gether to protect rights and privileges Just as valuable
and just as dear to one class as to the other.
It is not Impossible, nor yet Improbable, that labor
nntona may In tbe past have been extreme and perhaps
exacting In their demands upon the employers. But on
the other hand, no man can deny that employers In time
past, If not in time present, have been equally extreme
and exacting In their radical demands upon the represen
tatives of labor. ,
One of the distinct advancements of this age has been
in the more moderate but equally effective methods of or
ganised labor as It presents Its demands upon organized
capital. Scenes of violence are exceedingly rare. Radical
action seems ever upon the decrease. And we have no
doubt that the organisations of labor will be constantly
developing wiser and more reasonble, and for that rea
son more effective weapons of defense than they hare
ever used before.
It Is doubtless entirely true that the bottlers and all
other kindred industries find It essential that they should
have some definite understdndlng and some established
policy by which, working In harmony, they may effect
the best Interests for themselves. Co-operation and
organisation are tbe distinct watchwords of the age In
which we live. And it seems difficult to Imagine how In
this broad and enlightened era any strong and clear
headed man, hlras. If rejoicing In the effects of union nnd
co-operation In his own line of business, and in fact
strongly urging the Increased vigor and effectiveness ui 1 republic.
Handicaps to Our Wisdom-
one of the difficulties which has always hampered
the wise and definite solution of Southern problems has
been a too lively and timorous concern over the opinions
of people beyond our borders.
A just and due regard for public opinion Is a mark
not only of wisdom but of civilization. It Is easily possi
ble, however, to carry this respect too far. and we of the
South when we have been forced by radical emergencies
into radical action, have been all too much given to the
habit of rushing to the front gate with our ears to the
ground in an anxious listening for tbe comments and crit
icism of our fellow citizens beyond the Potomac and Ohio.
Thera Is neither wisdom nor manliness In this
attitude. We are as great a people In our history and
In our qualities as any who Inhabit this conUnent, and
we are sufficient unto ourselves to decide what Is just
and right, If we will only be true to ourselves, and follow
our convictions along honest lines to their legitimate
lines of action.
We haver done too much of pandering In the past to
tho opinions of the Northern and Eastern people who
are no wiser and no better, but only a trifle richer than
we are.
The fact is that It Is exceedingly difficult to measure
or estimate the real public opinion of this Northern peo
ple. It Is utterly Impossible to do this from a reading
of the best known Northern newspapers.
We state a fact here which like many of our other
statements may be primarily disputed but will Inevitably
be vindicated. We say without hesitation that the lead
Ing Northern newspspere do qot fairly or accurately rep
resent the average public opinion of the Northern people
upon the problem* of tho South
We are willing to trust the future for tbe vindication
of this proposition
Tbe editors of tbe Northern dallies are mostly
men of Inherited and educated prejudices. They are doc
trinaires of a school of politics which was born in the ab
olition period and has survived the war. Their views of
the Southern problems are based upon an abstract hu
manity called sometimes philanthropy, Inculcated by
Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner and Henry Ward
Beecher, and preserved in the habit of considering South
ern questions theoretically at the distance of a thou
sand miles. Few of the Northern editors know anything
practically about the negro or the negro question. Few
of them ever employ negro servants in their homes,
When friction of the races Is reported (rom the South,
these fellows hark back to their tones of abolition and
rake up the stock expletives of condemnation and vitu
peration which have done duty through so many years,
and fire away without any consideration whatever for
tho changed conditions or for the awful provocations
which stir the South beyond reason and beyond law.
To these fiery aud unthinking commentators who
mould the apparent public opinion of the North, we pre
sent one unanswerable proposition:
Find us In all your ranks, whsthtr of abolition stock
of Now England, or of tho newer blood of today, one sin
gle Northern man who has evtr pulled up his Northern
stakes and settled hlmeelf permanently for residence In
the South, who did not within twelve months, and with
his whole heart, absorb and adopt Into life and action tho
eroede and customs of tho South upon this problem, and
wo will confess In humility that you arc all right and we
are all wrong.
If you do not find this man among our greet army of
Northern cltlzene, you ought In simple honesty to ihut up
your factories of denunciation, or put up a nobler lino of
comment upon tho problems which you brethren have
helped to make.
So much for the editors. They do not represent the
mass. The mass of the Northern people are in sympa
thy wit htho South upon the negro question. Of this
much we are absolutely sure.
The Northern mass knows the negro. In every town
and hamlet he is a citizen. The mass conics in contact
with him, in business, in politics, in amusement-and In
religion. They know him. They have no delusions about
him. And these are the people who dislike and protest
the negro as the South never has and never will dislike
him. These are the people who mob him in N.ew York
and Chicago. These are the people who burn him In
Wilmington and Topeka and Leavenworth. These are
the people who hqng him In Evansville and Danville
and Lawrence. These are the people who shoot him to
death in tbe labor unions of Pans and Cartoraville. These
are the iieople who would outvote any extremist In tbe
Sooth today In any radical legislation designed to control
and refashlou the negro.
And so, our countrymen, when we put our ear to the
ground In anxiety fc> hear the public sentiment thundered
across the line, dod't let us be Ignorant enough or weak
enough to imagine that these spiteful and phnrasalc dia
tribes of Northern newspapers represent the great body
of our northern friends, but let us consider the iieople
who look at these things In their own way and from their
own kindred ataudpolnt.
And let us be sure that If we ever go to these iieople
with honest lips to tell the true story of our surpassing
problem, that they will respond In sympathy and in bal
lots to establish the unity of Caucasian sentiment and
the iierniaucucy of Caucasian supremacy throughout the

ARMORY FOR ATLANTA.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
By all means let us have an audi
torium and armory. While planning
for the good of Atlanta, let us at the
•am* time plan for a public comfort
building and a central breathing apace
or pork. They can all be combined
and all are ennentlal to the beet Inter-
ents of Atlanta
Among our tall building* there
should be an open space for the health,
comfort ond happiness of our people
and vlnltorn to the city. Such a place,
properly planned ond properly equipped,
would be of more material benefit to
the city than anything else that can
be done at this time. , .
It would odd to the financial and
material development of Atlanta. It
would Improve the morals, and health
of the rlty, ond properly arranged, less
en drinking, vice and crime. In a
central place, arranged for public com
fort, It would bo a great advertisement
for the city, a comfort to visitors, a
great convenience to working glrla and
boys of the city.
Let us have not only on auditorium
and armory, hut a public comfort build
ing, with baths, lunches, reading room,
and a small central park—public stand
for music, etc.
By combining, all these enterprises
can be secured, and with less expense
now than at any future time.

I GOSSIP
By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER,
New York, Oct. 10.—There was •
pretty contest of wills at the Colons
theater In Boston last night bet we*
the manager of the play house and
Mrs.'Reggie Vanderbilt, and the *Z
ciety leader lost.
Mrs. Vanderbilt wore a chic conf**
tlon In the shape of a picture hit
which Is against the rules of the hou»T
The head usher was sent to tell
Vanderbilt, courteously, that the cum.
tom must be enforced, even in the
boxes. Mrs. Hunnewell, who was xstih
Mrs. Vanderbilt, removed her hat | m .
mediately and without protest, but
Mrs. Vanderbilt was recalcitrant.
“We have this box all to ourselves*
she tdld the usher. “My hat obstruct!
nobody’s view, and I shall not take it
on examination no'scar Is found on this
body. Carmichael's hair was very red,
while this man's hair Is only sandy.
It Is learned, from a letter written by
the undertaker, that the dead man was
going by the name of McCormick, while
obe Carmichael was receiving letters
from hlk people here addressed to Obe
8. Carmichael. His father received a
letter from him abput September 1,
and he was living at Mill Valley, Cal.,
about 30 miles from Btockton, and
working at a livery stable.
On October 1 D. N. Carmichael re
ceived a telegram from Stockton, Cal.,
that a man, supposed to be . the body
of O. S. Carmichael, was then at the
undertaker’s place of business, he hav
ing committed suicide by shooting him
self.
The dead man was Identified in Cal
ifornia by a former citizen of this
county, who now lives In Stockton, and
the description wired here suited to
that of'O. 8. Carmichael.
D. N. Carmichael placed with the
telegraph company here money enough
to pay for the preparation of the body
for burial and casket and railroad
transportation, but on the arrival of
the remains they are not identified as
those of Obe S. Carmichael.

8IXTY MILLION INCREASE
IN VALUES IN ONE YEAR.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
10-year-old boy ought to see the
fallacy of the argument that the sa
loons pay large sums Into the city
treasury. Where do the saloon men
get their money? From the men who
drink. I challenge the record that In
nine cases out of ten where men are
