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 NO IV the Reformer i in the dauntless and practical record of I Hearst. i And In these great issues represented by these strong men has been swallowed up the narrow lines of faction and the fading name of party. Forty per cent of the men who voted for Hearst in the municipal campaign of two [years ago were members of the Republican party who called themselves Lincoln Republicans and who In this election will stand firmly and Joyfully with the reform party which Mr. Hearst Is leading to Its most eventful battle.

Neither does it print whisky or any liquor advertisements. Georgia’s Great School. Every year Is adding larger scope and higher repute to the great School of Technology which the liberality of the state established some twelve years ago. The present able faculty under the leadership of President Matheson is breaking all previous records of good work and effective service, and the growth of the Institution will astonish those of us who are living within Its shadow every day. The enrollment of tho present * session la breaking all records, thereby demonstrating the great popularity of the school and Its possibilities for the future expansion. It has enrolled C55 men to date, and Judging by the relative records of the past three years, it should enroll at least GOO men during the cur rent session. This attendance will exceed by more than 100 the enrollment of last year. On September 26, the date of opening, the dormitories were filled to their capac ity of 245 students, and had refused application for dor mitory space to more than 225 men. Of this number 210 men had asked to have their names placed on a waiting list to bo given the first available vacancies, and this had been done. With tts present enrollment the school is overcrowd ed In all departments. At least 100 men cannot even find standing room in the chapel at morning services. The Tech needs a chapel capable of seating at least 1,500 people; It needs a dormitory that will accommodate at least 200 students; it vitally and especially needs at the present more land for campus extension, else at some time in the near future the Institution must be moved The legislature, at Its last sesslcn, appropriated the mon- ay with which to buy the present Ball park, thus adding four acres to the campus, and tho Institution has options on about tbree acres more, amounting to $8,000, said op tions expiring January 1, 1907. Should It not raise the necessary amount by the date named, it la probable It can nover secure these options again except at greatly increased prices. It greatly needs a hospital; It Is In much need of a Y. M. C. A. building, having Just secured the services of a college secretary who will de- B tc his entire time to the Y. M. C. A., but the only ice for the association Is In the basement of tho main building. The school la at Its flood-tide. With proper assis tance, there is no doubt that it can easily increaso Us at tendance In the near future to at least 1,000 men. Other states are greatly enlarging the plants of their engineer ing Institutions, and Georgia must do the samo for Us great school or see It retrograde. This Institution means not only a great deal to the state, which eupports It, but to At lanta, which Is Its chief beneficiary. Annually 1^ enrolls about 100 men from Fulton county. The school In Its con nections spends over $100,000 In the city. Besides this, It Is bringing to Atlanta great and (rowing prestige, which Atlanta herself does not as yet appreciate, The progress of any educational Institution is large ly dependent upon the active sympathy and Interest of the cltlxeni in the town of Us location. The state has done ell for the Tech that It can do at present and the question now te, will not Atlanta come to Its aid First, and above all, it mutt have more land; $8,000 mutt be raised before January 1, 1907, or a magnificent opportunity for cqmpus extension will be lost. Our other needs can be attended to later, but this one le vita). This Is a record of which any school should be proud. The Tech le a glory to Georgia and a shining orna ment to Atlanta. To state lte growth. Its opportunities and tte handi caps la In the mere statement a matchless appeal to the liberality and public spirit of a great people. Atlanta should never permit Us crowning Institution to want for any good thing. An Incendiary Bishop. The conservative negroes of tho South. If they are sincere, will confer at once to put a muzzle on tbo negro bishop, Walters, who is scattering firebrands of dlscontont and strife among the negroes, North and South. The utterances of Walters within the last few days have been incendiary to the last degree. If Herr Most or any of the Russian colony of New York, should repeat tho exact words of this negro bishop upon tho streets or In a tab ernacle, he would be arrested and jailed for sedition. Wo do not know under what construction of the law the negro Walters escapes, but we vigorously present his case to the restraining Influence of those negroes In the South who have recently been so active Iu expressions of peace and law-abiding conditions among the negro race. If Walters Is not muzzled he will surely develop trouble. BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION—When Roscoe Conklins presented the name of General U. S. Grant to the Republican convention in Chicago In 1880 he aald: "The election before uh will be the Austerlitz of American politics. It will decide wheth er for yeara to come the country will bo Republican or Cossack." Last Friday Senator Lodge In nominat ing a Republican for Auditor of Massachusetts said: It would be exaggeration to say that the coming elections in New York and Massachusetts will be the Austerlitz of American politics. It ts no exagger-' atlon to say that the coming elections In New York and Massachusetts will decide whether the govern ment of these two states for the next year shall be American or Cossack. The Massachusetts senator Is evidently something of a cribber.—Nashville American. “Cribber" Is a harsh word to apply to an eminent statesman and writer. Would it not be more charita ble to say that Senator Lodge had "benevolently assim ilated" the verbiage and rhetorical figure of the great Conklins? “Religion as a Problem Solver. Tbere can be no possible cavil or objection to The Constitution's solution of the race problem. To settle the question and to suppress the criminal by converting the negro to Christianity Is the program. Surely no man in bis sound mind can object to this. It Is elementary, orthodox and fundamental. Every preacher In the Protestant or Catbollc world must agree to It, for no preacher cduld afford to protest a theory upon which bis, creed and hit craft depends. The plan Is Ideal if Its prosecution Is millennial. The care should be not to restrict the comprehen sive remedy to a single evil, or the vast solution to one among the thousand problems of the race. Let us melt all problems In this alembic of religion. Not only ibould tbo race question bo answered in the brotherhood of man, but why. not all the rest? Wby should not capital and labor compromise tbeir differences In a creed In which ‘the rich and tho poor meet together, and the Lord Is the maker of them all?'' Wby should not nations be disarmed and brought to arbitration under the regime In which "the sword shall bo beaten Into plowshares and the spears Into pruning forks?” Why should not all the evils and problems of the universal race be answered and settled under the remedy which Christianity has made orthodox for the last nineteen hundred years? And so we say God speed to The Constitution and the clergy In the divine call which carries them back to the primal solvent ot a Christian civilization, and will do with our might whatever humble part may fall to ua In the vast and comprehensive scheme. But meanwhile, and preaching this millennium, let us hot lose sight of the necessity for practical and human remedies In dealing with this great question. For it Is at least a faithful saying and worthy of all accepta tion that God helps those who help themselves. We have gathered some practical results out of our tragedy, which we must be-wise enough to husband and enlargo. First of all wo have now what we nover had before —the co-operation of the negro leaders in suppressing the crime which Is the root of all riots. We must hold fast to this. We must remind the preachers, the editors, the teachers from time to time that they have promised to thunder hell and damnation to the rapist In their several avenues ot Influence, and to urge the discovery and the delivering ot their criminals to Justice. Don’t let us relax on this, and don't let us permit the conservative negroes to relax. We have never yet had a fair trial of the ef fect of a stern and relentless negro pnbllc opinion against the crime ot crimes. It is an oxporiment full of hope. Let us hold to It until it Is tested to the limit. We have roused public opinion among the white race to the liberality of a greatly enlarged system ot police and deputy sheriffs In the suburban and rural districts. Let us hold on to this and amplify It Tho question of expense cannot for a moment weigh against the question ot safety and security for the women of the South. It It takes more taxes to raise the “refgn of terror,' in God's name who will protest the tax? One thing wo have not dono as yet. The Georgian suggested It, but the times were bo troubled that the Idea has not bnd time to sprout. We must study the criminal. We must study tho criminal as the experts study fever and epidemics to find tho gorm. We must learn fron\ovory rapist the history of bis recent life—bis habits, bis as sociates, his environment—whether educated or ignorant, whether pure black or mulatto, whether a morphine eater or. a victim ot cocaine; whether a drunkard or sober; whether Idle or Industrious; whether normal or diseased. The officer* of the law, the doctors, the scientists end tho sociologists can gather thetfr statistics, and when we havo them we shall be on the way toward the germ— the bacillus of the vast evil that wo wish to kill. So much for the individual crime around which moat of our troubles and two-thirds of our mobs revolve. For tho rest, let ns study the negro more. Let ue study history more—the history of races, the history of the negro. Let us take ethnology as a theme for investi gation. Let us hark back to the wisdom of the fathers— those thoughtful men who framed and fitted together the government—let us look Into the clear minds of Jefferson and Webster, and C.sy and Everett, and Madison and Monroe, and Lincoln and the rest. Let us summon “the practical past as a problem solver” to help tho doclslon of the future. Above all things let us put out ot our minds and hearts the cowardly spirit of expediency in grappling with this great question of tho century. We are face to face now with the issue upon which hangs the success of our civilization and our race. No anodyne that quiets for a day will satisfy tho situation or meet the responsibility of a great people. No catnip tea will cure the cancer which Is creeping toward the vitals of our civilization. Neither the greed ot commercialism nor the softness of sentiment will fulfill the obligations of truth and states manship. Desperate diseases demand strong 'remedies, and we have drifted too long In the dangerous wake of the apathetic sluggards who have told ua there was no prob lem to bo solved. God in His wisdom, which Is greater than ours, has set u* front to front and face to face with the greatest problem which a great people have ever been given to solve. Neither doctrinariei nor trimmers, neither time servers nor quacks should be permitted to cloud with their selfishness nor to hinder with tbeir cowardice the brave, direct and far-seeing statemanshlp which seeks to solve the South's transcendent problem in the Interests of tts The Battle Royal in New York. It is a great 11 gbt that Is being waged In tbo politi cal arena of New York. It Is a battle royal tbe like of which New York and the country has never seen before, and the forces upon either side are titanic and tremendously In earnest. Let no man Imagine for a moment that the contact In New York Is one between the Republican and Demo cratic! parties. These names-and titles today are al- most shadowy memories In the strenuous and eventful struggles which are being made between the forces which have outgrown the name of party and havo sub ordinated historic faction. Tbe battle In New York, like thq battle In Georgia and the battle in Michigan, is no longer the old-fashioned campaign between the two great organizations whose names and whose differences have divided tbe public. It Is in Its last analysis a death grapple between the forces . ot honest radicalism and the forces of a dangerous conservatism which Is to bo decided by the ballots of November. This Is a fight which has been growing and gather ing in volume and Intensity for a score of years. It has had Its skirmishes In other states. The New York con test furnishes a larger and more important battle ground for one of the strategic points In tbe triumph or defeat of the people. Never Tbave the shrewd and calculating representa tives of an ultra-conservatism been wiser and more dis creet In their choice of a leader. There is nothing that can be said against the character of the candidate whom the corporations have put in nomination for governor. The Lawyer Hughes represents the best things ot his class, and his personal record Is beyond criticism, al though he uncovers definitely and clearly as the unmis takable champion of the corporations and the trusts, whose money stands behind him and whose enthusiasm backs hlm < and whose potential Influence props him on every side. And never have the forces of an honest radicalism been more definitely and conscientiously represented thin they are in the person and vigor of William R. Hearst Not only in the platitudes of advocacy, but In the larger and more splendid record of great things bravely accom plished, William R. Hearst stands as the unmistakable and unequaled champion of tbe plain people, against the power of corporations, as the representative of honest elections against fraudulent and plundered ballot boxes, as the opponent of bosses and the evangel of purer elec tions and genuinely popular government. The two leaders are fighting men, every Inch of them. And their followers are catching fire and inspira tion from the dauntless men at the head of their columns and the Issue Is being made sharp and clear. Tho Georgian has planted Itself from the beginning ' upon tbe proposition that an honest and earnest radical ism Is at times the only and Indispensable antidote to tbe apathy ot a criminal conservatism. Not all the good record of Hughes or his high Intelli gence can cloud the minds of the people to the fact that he stands for the same corporations which at other times and under other men have plundered and oppressed the people, and have bought and bribed and ruled the poli tics of the imperial city and the Imperial state of the re public. Not all the gleam of corporate gold or the thunder of a Republican protest can drown the clear voice that speaks : GOSSIP By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. New sir York.

[ 0 ' a "‘ 1 "' ho came Into tht porato favor will cut looso from the ties of party and fol low tbeir fat purses and their financial Interests Into tbo faction led by Hugbcs. Every leading newspaper In New York Is against the editor of Tho New York American and Tbo New York Journal, who Is fighting single-handed with unparalleled vigor and brilliancy for the cause that ho represents. The final alignment will witness as nearly the obliteration of party and the alignment of economic policies and ot vital Interests as New York has ever known. In spite of the fearful odds of sound and ot dollars arrayed against him. we believe that Mr. Hearst will win. It Is impossible to discount with n people the man who does things as strongly as other men say things. It Is im possible to deceive the people as to the motives of a man who has served them so consistently and so fearlessly and effectively In past emergencies. It Is impossible to defame a man in tbe faith of tho people who have trusted him and never found him wanting. And, upon this foundation, we believe that Novem ber's ballotB recording tbo will and the hopo of tho great body ot the plain people of the city and ot the state ot New York, will return the candidate of the Independence League and of the state Democracy as the next governor of New York. ■ CALVIN AND AGRICULTURE—The compliment paid the Hon. Martin V. Calvin in electing him direc tor ot the Georgia Experiment Station, is not less no table than it la well deserved. Mr. Calvin haa given a number of useful and diligent years to the study of agriculture, and has been w|th his pen and his tongue an able and Illuminating contributor to all the themes that Interest tbe farmers In a practical, useful and helpful way. Tbe Experiment Station never had a more honest and thoroughgoing director than Col. Redding, who has endeared himself for many years to the peoplfe of this state and to Its farming Interests. He Is rich In the good name he has won, and although now retiring of his own motion from the work, will retain to the end of his life the confidence and respect of the agricultural people of Georgia. We feel sure that Mr. Calvin by all the record of his past life, and by the vigor and energy of his present years, will make himself as useful, aa ef fective and as popular as any man could be in this important and responsible station. He is a live vital thinker and a practical agriculturist in the very zenith of bis powers, and wltb a contagious enthusi asm for the great interests with which he is now per manently allied. marriage and Heck, seher frequently visited the Gray homl on Mr. Gray's Invitation. OoiSn linked the names of Mrs. Gray and Heckscher In such a way that the men soon became estranged. Mr. Gray challenged Mr. Heckscher to fight on Canadian soil. Mr Heel- scher accepted the challenge, and thev met on tho shore of Lake Champlain and crossed over to Canada. On tho morning of June 15 j,j. they stood at twelve paces to shoot at each other. The late A. W. Clausen was second for Mr. Heckscher and Carrol Livingston performed a similar service for Mr. Gray. w The inen were told to fire at the drop of the handkerchief. Mr. Gray did ,,, and the bullet went through the folds of Mr. Heekscher’s frock coat, doin, him no harm. Then his opponent fired In the air. The party, returned to this city. Mr. Gray got a divorce and in 1889 married Matilda Frellnghuysen daughter of Secretary of State Fre.’ llnghuyien. Mrs. Heckscher died in 1889 and five months later Mr. Heckscher married Mrs. Gray, who had resumed her maid, en name. Editor Crulckshank, ot The Birmingham Ledger, ex tends the hospitality ot his editorial sanctum to all vis itors to the Alabama State Fair, which begins in Bir mingham on Monday the 15th instant, and we gather from this proffered hospitality that The Ledger la aa richly and as happily prosperous as It.deserves to be. As an Indication of the many-sided Interests at taching to the Atlanta riot, Mr. E. P. Wood, of the A. A. Wood & Sons Co., of this city, Incloses to The Georgian a letter of Inquiry and concern from Zurich, Switzer land. limelight when he was a young man because ot a duel he fought with j former friend. John G. Heckscher, on the Canadian border, died today at his lfpme, 4 West Forty-ninth street. He was born In this city In 1839 The duel between the two was the social sensation of 1873. Mr. Orav'2 wife was a daughter of William R Travers Mr. and Mrs. Gray an™Mr Heckscher had been friends long h. fore Mr. Gray’s marriage and The appalling statement Is made by Superintendent Allen, of the Society for the Improvement of tbe Condliion of the Poor, that two-thirds of all the children In the public schools of New York city, who are classed by their teachers as stupid and who have lagged behind In their classes, are not stunld at all. ' 1 Twenty-nine per cent of them have defective vision, and the reason they do not learn to read and write as read- ily as their companions, Is that the* cannot see the characters distinctly. Twelve per cent of them do not learn rapidly becauso they have de fective hearing and do not understand what Is asked them. Others have adenoid growths that Impede the cir culation of the blood to the brain, so that they appear dull, whereas a little treatment would suffice to restore them to a normal condition. A tribute to the memory of the late Russell Sage is paid In the annual re port of the Iowa Central railway, of which Mr. Bage was a director from 1889 to the day of his death. President Edwin Hawley. In his report to the stockholders, says ot Mr. Sage: "During the entire period of his con- nectlon with the company he gave to his Interests his sagacious attention, serving with the fidelity so character istic of the man, never falling, except In Illness, of attendance at the meetings of the board, while his uniform cour tesy and geniality endeared him to all who were brought Into contact with him." SAYS THIS METHOD WOULD STOP RAPE WITHIN SIX MONTHS’. TIME To the Editor of The Georgian: Permit me the liberty of a suggestion: The outraging of white women by negroes In Georgia can be practi cally stopped within six months, and for good, by the adoption of one simple expedient. Let every negro convicted of the crime be neither killed nor Im prisoned. On the contrary, let him be Immediately released, after cas trating him and branding him on the face with a mark which every hu man being shall be able to recognise off-hand and unmistakably as the mark ot the castrated rapist. Six months of this method rigidly enforced—by legal enactment, If possible, otherwise by organisation or white men—would so terrorise the negroes that raping would practically cease. - Commanding the attention of such an audience aa you do, through voice and pen, you have an opportunity, by bringing about the adoption of thla Infallible expedient, to earn tor yourself an undying fame as the preserver of the white women of the South. Yours very truly, RENE BACHE. 1822 Q street, Washington, D. C. CALLS IT A GREAT SERVICE honor, Its safety, Us women and Its enduring welfare. To the Editor of The Georgian: The people of Atlanta and of the South can scarcely realise the debt which they are due to the editor of The Georgian for sending out to the world so promptly that strong and powerful statement of the provocation which inspired the frensy of the At lanta mob. Bide by side with the statement of the lawlessness and the horror of the Atlanta slaughter, went the strong, clear and appealing statement of John Temple Graves, known throughout the length and the breadth of the country, giving the conditions of the awful reign of terror which preceded the riot, and which stirred to frensy the people of the Houth In defense of the women whom they have always worshipped with a chivalry and devotion known to no other people under the sun. The letter of Mr. a raves did not In any sense condone the fault or sin of the mob. It did not defend lynching, and It did not Justify the slaughter of the Innocent. But It did give to. mil lions of readers throughout the coun try a statement of the appalling condi tions which, holding the noble women of the South under a reign of terror, fired to frensy the people who were rendered desperate by the failure of all other methods and all other remedies to hall the wild riot of rape which was sweeping over the region of country about Atlanta. Never before on any elmllar occa sion has there coma out to the people of the country tide by side with the news Item describing popular van geance, so strong and so clear a state ment of the awful provocation which brought It about.. It goes without saying that no man who read that statement of Mr. Graves cgn fall to understand, even if he could not Justify, the lawlessness of the mob. From Portland, Ore., we have had the comments of the Portland papers, whose views were modified and whose sympathy with the South was kindled by this powerful statement of condi tions. From St. Paul and Minneapolis, we have had from the leading papers the evidence that this manifest of Southern wrongs and dangers had given a more generous and considerate view of the Southern problem. And, from Chicago and Indianapolis and Washington and New York and Boston we have had the evidences of the great and valuable service which that Initial letter has done In giving the white man’s side of the question to the read ers of newspapers throughout the country. • Mr. araves has done many services to the South In time past, but never a greater service than this, and never one for which the South should hold him In more grateful remembrance.

FROM THE PROHIBITIONISTS’ STANDPOINT. To the Editor of The Georgian: The tragic and sickening scenes re cently enacted In Atlanta serve to moke plain the fact that liquor saloons must go from Georgia The lesson has been forced upon us that whatsoever a man or a city or a state soweth, that shall It alto reap. The sowing has gone on for yeara The slate and the city have sanctioned and licensed the (Moon. The saloon local option, believing that each com- liaa town day and night the seeds of lust, rape, riot and death! Reaping time It here, and truly the harvest Is great! If argument were needed It Is found In the order of the mayor of Atlanta, cloalng the saloons to curb and control the rioters. Not all this horrible, surging sea of sin and shame and crime Is chargeable to the saloons, perhaps; but enough to eternally condemn ana damn them. We have learned our lesson slowly, but even the fool can err no longer. There was a time when I stood for One of the best months of tho year for taking pictures.
