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 Nooks and Corners of American History By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

The fact that on several occasions officers have not been able to get Into negro club rooms during rows, and that locked doors have balked raids on disorderly places. Is the reason for the introduction of the measure. The ordinance introduced by Coun oilman Chosewood making the park board to consist of one member from each ward to be appointed by the may or and the mayor himself and the chairman of the council committee on parks, was passed without any recom mendation on account of the absence of Mr. Chosewood. \ FAILS TO IDENTIFY CORPSE SENT HOME AS REMAINS OF SON time did wheuever the occasion called for It.

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.

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.

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 constant drinkers that their wives und children Inck for the necessary com forts of life. Who pays the tax? The drunkards' wives und children. This Is class taxation and tyranny greater than that of any king. It costs something to maintain the enterprises of a city, and the only way to legitimately raise the money Is by uniform taxation of the masses.

"Human Heart*.” At the Qrand next Saturday, matinee and night, tho domestic melodrama, "Human Hearts,” will be presented by a good company und with elaborate scenic environment. Its pathos is said to be effective; Its mirth Irresistible, and Its dramatic situations strong. It will be presented faithfully both In its betting and In the action, which will reveal with marked clearness and force Its very remarkable plot. Southern Drama Monday. At the Grand next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, wilt be presented for the first time a play by the well-known dramatist, Louis Evan Shipman, "On Parole.” As the title suggests, It Is a military play, but differing from all preceding plays of this type. Inasmuch as the story Is related from the view point of the Southerner, which pre sents a new phase for discussion. The play Is In four acts and takes place In the last year of the elvll war, and leading up to the surrender of Lee and tSarmy of Northern Virginia.
