Behold, a Dreamer Cometh! x •
The Western snd Atlantic railroad of the state of
Georgia Is destined. In the opinion of The Georgian. to
plsy * big part In the future of this slate, and. In all
probability. In. the future of the entire country.
In saying thlk we aaautne that the road !» going to
be extended to the seaeoeat And the assumption Is not
by any mean* a rash one. When Hooper Alexander
started out a few year, ago with the announced purpose
to force that subject upon the attention of the state,
casual obaenrera were Inclined to think that he had tak
en a big contract on ^!s hands, and experienced politi
cians were disposed to regard the proposition In a spirit
of good humored levity.
But Mr. Alexander had evidently planned hla cam
paign with a pretty fair accounting for the tendencies
of the human mind. He publicly declared his absolute
conviction that the road would be built He said publicly
that the only thing necessary to bo done wae to get people
to talking atxnit.lt. that the thing, being in Itself Inher
ently a wise god proper thing Jo do, would furnish Its
own argument* as soon a* people began to discuss It.
snd that thereafter It would become In Increasing degree
a popular demand.
Apparently the prediction Is now well on Its way to
ward fulfillment, and If one may Judge from the ut
terances of the press and the casual remark, of Indi
vidual*. public sentiment Is crystallising now with mar
velous rapidity in favor of the extension.
The methods adopted by the advocate of the work
were simple. He first set to work to solidify the senti
ment of ono county In favor of the proposition. A. soon
as DeKalb county bad lined up In solid phalanx, ho
delivered addres.os In a number of cities and town,
acsttcred through the state, each of whleh tracame a
center of discussion from which the Idea radiated In
widening clrclt*. •
Thereafter the dlscuaslon of the matter before the
legislature and In the press made It an object pf vision all
over tho state. The effort In the last legislature, flret
to sell the present road, and aftarward. to execute a new
leas, on It. concentrated and solidified attention, and not-
orally tho advocates of extension became the earnest lead
ers of opposition to the other schemes. Their defeat has
nut'behind the extension proposal an organised support.
The Georgian takes the same view a* to the ultimate
outcome that was expreaaed by the author of the propo-
sltlon and the logic of It may be expressed In a syllo
gism like this:
First. Whatever Is wise and .prudent to do In pub c
affairs will sooner or later be done If It once cornea to be
seriously considered by a free electorate.
Second. It la wise and prudent to extend the state
road to the sea and the subject la now being aeriouily
considered by a free electorate.
Therefore the state road will aooner or later be ex
tended. .
There Is no doubt In the world about tha correctneas
of this logic. Paealmlsts and doubters will and do ques
tion the soundness of the first premise, and It la caey
enough to point out many wife and prudent things which
are not done though earnestly urged. Tho fallacy, how-
ever, la comparing these things with the proposition
under discussion Ilea In the fact that, no matter how wise
and prudent a thing may be. nor how earnestly urged,
its advocate, In order to succeed, must have faith In the
people.
’ He cannot build from the top but must carry hla pro
posal straight to the masses ofc men. The politician Is
always timid. He never has faith. He waits and listens
for the voices of the people. He never proposes. He
only accedes.
Tht man who expects to accomplish must reach the
politician, not throi/flh' hla reason, but through his respon
ses obtdienee to what the people think.
And so we repeat again that this subject was taken
straight to the people. It to a wise and prudent thing
to do. The people are talking about it. Tho balance to
but a question of time. The road will be built.
And »o believing, we cannot abstain from asking what
will be the. conaequence. And now iet u* answer the
question and prophecy.
The road wiil reduce chargee and yet pay large
profits.
The Intermediate stations will get what they never
have had. a square deal.
The country will blossom Jnto small Industries and
grow rich Instead of being mere tributaries to the city.
And yet, because of the prosperity of the small
towns and the country, the centers of population will
irosper more than ever.
. Th* mad will have a terminus at every Georgia
port on the Atlantic and at least one on the gulf.
Alabama. Tennessee and Kentucky will he quick to
see that by building their connections they also can be
come Independent of the feudal lords now rich In privi
lege.
The water will be squeexed out of the other roads In
Georgia because the fact will be exposed that their pres
ent apparent value, constantly enhancing, to based on
nothing and consists In nothing but the right to collect a
tax from the people under the name of rates for ser
vice.
The atote will rapidly absorb the other lines and the
counties and’ town* will acquire the branches.
The basis of freight rates will be changed. Instead
of a complicated system of; rates based on'the principle
pf charging "all that the traffic will bear.’’ rates will
be based on the principle : of charging, with a limited
classification, only >6 much aa will warrant and secure
the beet service and equipment, and'pay a fair Income
over. '
It will become apparent that a passenger, who takes
care of snd feeds himself, can be advantageously hauled
Just as cheap os a hog of the same weight that has tp
be fed and watched and moved. Passenger rates will
therefore be cot down In eueh remarkable measure that
railroad passenger traffic will becotno as common as
street car riding and as profitable a business to tho car-
r,cr - *
Transportation will be completely , revoiutlontoed.
The advantages of civilized progress will no longer .be
withheld from the masses of men, but we will all be per
mitted to enjoy on rational terms the heritago of the
ages, now denied us by reason of the stupid folly that
confers upon brutal privilege tho franchise tor exorcise,
monopoly.
The example of Georgia will bo followed by other
states, and private ownership of'public opportunity will
^ Direct taxation (unless upon nakod land) will cease
and an ample public revenue be collected for special uso
of general rights.
This, you will say, Mr. Doubter, to a vision of Utopia.
Well, cut this article out and put It away with a writton
record of your opinion. Then look at If ton years from
today.
TOM WATSON’S GREAT TRIBUTE
TO SAM JONES ON 50TH BIRTHDAY
Defeated Author and
Statesman Congrat
ulated Evangelist on
His Success.
Lest Wc Forget the Greater Crime.
In the general letter setting forth, to the country the
conditions of the Atlanta riot, the editor of Tho Gergtan
urged upon our contemporaries In the North, “to help us
by 'giving two words In condemnation of rape where they
gave-one to the condemnation of lynching."
Some of these contemporaries have boen disposed to
question the suggestion and to ask what The Georgian
means, Afro are glad to answer tho question because the
reason for doing so has received additional emphasis
In the folly and thoughtlessness of our own people.
The Georgian haa been trying diligently for some
months to build up a public opinion among the leaders of
the negro race which would be brought with all Its pow
er and effect upon the masa of the race In condemnation
and awful warning ugalnst assaults upon white women.
The structure has been carefully erected and diligently
watched, and from it wo have been hoping for the beat
things In every wdy.
Now then, if at this time the newspapers of the
Xorth have their columns filled from center to circum
ference with columns and pages of denunciation of mobs
and lynching, with scarcely a - faint and feeble para
graph between, denouncing the crime which produces
the mob.-why, the negro papern scattered from Alex
andria to K1 Pmo wiil. copy those utterances of the
Northern newspapers and .take to their hearts the comfort
that the jrhplo volume of Northern sympathy Is with
them against the* whito man who defends himself in the
mob, and that there la scarcely on approclablo denuncia
tion of the crime on his part which hpa maddened and
Inspired the moh to action. And ao the public opinion
among the negroes which we have sought to uge in this
great problem will work not for u» but against us.
These’ Northern newspapers can -form no conception
of the deadly and deatructlve influence which the unwise
and unbalanced construction of their editorials have upon
the negro of the South. 15 they would only be Just
enough to make it bait and half,'and give* half as much
denunciation to rape as they'do to lynching, they would
at least neutralise the'Impression of'their limitless nnd
boundless sympathy with the negro without regard to
his crimes and misdemeanors.
The Mesttowr. Broadax will publish an article whteh
It has found In some stray copy of The New York Even-
tng Post, and all the nogroes who road The Broadax or
hear It read will go off saying to themselves that the en
tire North and the whole body of tholr own'race In the
.South look with complacent Indifference upon rape and
with monstrous norror upon lynching, and that they, when
they are lynched, become glorified martyrs over whose
wretched bddlos prayers are sung and protests aro made
that will eventually overwhelm the whito man.
Now this to what wo mean to our Northern friends
when we say they can do us a service by magnifying
rather than minifying the crime which arouses the South
to lawlessness and revenge.
The negroes still retain the Impresalon that the
Northern iieople are without exception their friends
and liberators from slavery. Consequently, whatever
comes from tho North has a large and effective In
fluence upon the negro mind. If this impression en
courages them to believe that assault* upon white wo
men are merely trivial offenses as compared with tho
greater offense of lynch law, then the negro will bo much
less likely to avoid the horrible' crime for which ho to
mobbed aud to have oven les* fear of a fate which car
ries along with It the halo of martyrdom.
It Is surely a reasonable request to our contem
poraries because they must realize that the annihilation
of the body and of the thing better than life In a good
woman, to at least as great a crime as the destruction
of a brutal negro by a "iob, and realizing this, th^y
cannot fall to do sufficient Justice to tho South to equalize
the comments which carry the expression and the Impres
sion of their attitude and opinion, to this Ignorant nnd
excitable mass that to watching them constantly with anx
iety and with Imitation.
Sorrowful to say. our own peoplo In the South have
swiftly and thoughtlessly fallen Into tho same habit that
The Georgian has so earnestly condemned In our North
ern friends, and In our eagerness to clear our skirts of ap
proval of the slaughter of the Innocent by Irresponsible
mobs, we have thundered so much and "deplored" so
much along that llnp, that we ourselves have practically
obliterated the- memory of tho greater and more awful
crime, In the walling and lamentation that we have
made over the punishment of It.
We must see to It In tho South that our own servile
apprehension of Northern sentiment does not so far ap
proximate the nefcroos' consideration of It that we shall
cloud the lesson which we have tried so long to teach,
and which It to so vitally necessary that we should
teach- that the crime of .all crimes to rape and that no
other to to be compared wltn It lit enormity or in punish
ment ;
In this sentiment only ore we safe.
In Saturday's Issue of The Georgian,
i “A Saturday Evening," the editor
contributed an article 'of appreciation
and contrast on Sam Jones and Tom
Watson. In It he referred to a beauti
ful sketch which Mr. Watson wrote of
Sam Jonea Just after the failure of the
former's candidacy for the vice presl-
dency In 1886. That sketch was nut
available When Saturday's editorial
was written, and the editor expressed
tho gratlflcatlon It would give him to
reproduce It. . In respqneo to that sug
gestion the article In question has been
Bent him by J. L. -Baskin, of Temple,
Ob., • Just as . It appeared In the old
"People'* Party Paper," published in
Atlsnta In 1897. The paper Is dated
October 22, 1897, and ls already yellow
with age. 1
In offering It. Mr. Baskin writes:
Temple, Ga., Oct. 22, 1906. -
Colonel John T. Oraves, Editor The
Atlanta Georgian: '
Deay Sir:—I see In Tho Georgian you
would like to have Tom Watson’s let
ter to Ham Jones on hts 60th birthday.
Here tt Is. I have kept It as a souve
nir of rare merit. I would love to have
It reproduced.
There are, or have been, tjiree men
I have on my list—Sam. Jones, Tom
Watson and John T. Graves.
Yours In great esteem,
J. L. BASKIN.
P. S.—Excuse pencil, aa I can’t write
with pen. 1 am nearly 80 years old.
J. L. B.
The article follows In full:
Lastweek Rev. Sam Jones celebrated
hts COth birthday.
In his palatial horns at Cartersvllte,
every dollar of whoso value was coined
In the golrion mint of his genius, warm
friends gathered about him to give evi
dence of their love, and to speak In be
half of all Georgians the words of
praise this greatest of Georgians has
to well earned.
For twenty years Sam Jones has been
the wonder of congregations, the de
spair of Imitators, the puste of plod
ders, the scandal of the “unco guld and
rigidly righteous," the wayward son of
the big-wig bishops, the delight of the
lecture hall, and the Prince Bountiful
of the people—giving away the thous
ands so easily made and so charitably
spent.
In the good year 1877, when both of
us were not so old, nor so gray, nor so
wrinkled, Sam Jones lit down In this
veritable town of Thomson, and began
to go for the devil and hts angels In a
manner which was entirely new to said
devil: also new to said angels.
We remember that we were then
trying to begin to practice law. We
walked three miles every morning to
the office, toted a tin dinner bucket,
like any school boy, took the mid-day
meal alone undisturbed by the’rueh of
clients (who were painfully slow about
rushing) and looked out upon the great
world In doubt as to our future lot
therein.
Borne one happened to remark In our
hearing that there was a little preacher
up at the Methodist church who was
knocking the crockery around In lively
style, and who was dusting the jackets
of the amen corner brethren In a war
which brought the double grunts out
of those fuxsy fossils. ‘
Paclflc men love combative men,
hence we at once strolted up to see
what was going on..
As a rule we are not ravenously fond
of sermons. We mnko the conleaslon
with shame and humiliation. When
yit have hoard the same commonplaces,
droned out in the same lifeless manner,
about 200,009 times, we require all of
our native politeness to keep down
yawns, nods and other signs of fatigue
and extreme lassitude. We did not
yawn the day we went to hear Bam
Jones.
There he was, clad In a little black
jump-tall coat, and looking as much
like the regulation preacher as we look
like the Archbishop of Canterbury.
He was not In the pulpit. He
right next to his crowd, standing with
in tho railing, and almost In touch of
the victims .
His head was down, ns If he
holding on to hts chain of thought by
tho teeth, hut hla right hand was going
energetically up and down, with all
the grace of a pump-handle.
And, Lord! how he did hammer tho
brethren. How he did peel the nmen
corner. How he did smash their sol
emn self-conceit, their profound self-
satisfaction. their peaceful copart
nership with the Almighty, their plucld
conviction that they were the trustees
of the New Jerusalem!
We sinners looked on listened, grin
lied. It was all we could do to keep
from raying, "Sick 'em, Sam!" •
. We knew some of those men.- We
sinners knew their fallings. We won
dered where Jones had learned it all.
We rejoiced exceedingly, qnd the
amen comer brethren sweated in ihclr
gi-ent agony.
After awhile, with solemn, Irresisti
ble force, Jones called on these breth
ren to rise In public, confess^ their
short-comings, and kt
Grace. .
And they knelt. With groans, and
s-ibs, and rears. thgsc old bell-weth
ers of the flock fell on their knees, and
cried aloud In their distress.
And the little man In the short-tall
coat was master of the situation.
Then what'.’
He turned hts guns upon us sinners,
and he enfiladed us. He raked us fore
and aft. He gave ua snare and canis
ter ami all the rest. He abused us ana
ridiculed us; he stormed at us and
laughed at us: he called us flop-earel
hounds, beer kegs, and whisky soaks.
Ho plainly said that we w-ere all hypo
crites nnd liars, nnd he Intimated,
somewhat broadly, that most of u>
would steal.
Oh, we had a time of It. l assure you
For six weeks the farms and the stores
were neglected and Jones, Jones,
J0NE8. was the whole thing.
And the plersentcst feature of Jhe
entire display of human nature was the
mnrkcd manner tn which the amen
corner brethren enjoyed Sams flaying
of os sinners
Before the thing was over tlnwe holy
men had almost recovered their bois
terous h'lmlllt). which being Interpret
ed means seif-rightecusness
w-reng side outwards.
And nobody knows this better than
Sant Jones.
Well, the meeting wound up. the
community settled beck Into Its old
w-nys—hut It has never been exactly
th» same ropimunlty since.
Gambling disappeared, loud profanl- thins*.
ty on the streets was heard no more,
and the bar rooms.were run out of the
unty. • „
Seeing the manifestations of power
which Mr. Jones made day after day tn
these meetings, we have never felt the
slightest surprise at his growth as an
evangelist. We felt then, and express
ed the feeling, that here was one of
the men of original genius whom God
gives to mankind at very rare Intervals.
What ls the secret of his power? No
one can tell, least of all, himself.
Who can toll the secret of the laws
by which one throat has the hoarse
caw of a crow, and another the gurg
ling sweetness of Jenny Lind? AVho
can tell why one boy can declaim Pat
rick Henry and put the uudlence to
sleep; while another boy will declaim
the same speech and break up the
same audience into storms of applause?
Nay, who can tell why the same mu
sician or orator, or painter thrills with
the current Inspiration at one moment,
and at th* next It Is all gone?
Men of talent have their rules, their
little adages, their prim, precise regu
lations. Give them certain materials
and certain conditions, and they are
warranted to turn you out a certain
amount of work. They are valuable
men—perhaps the ntoat valuable, for
every-day purjioHes. We need th*»m;
can't get along without them. They
build good bridges, make good read*,
open the mines, run the factories, op
erate the railroads, cut our coats, make
dresses for our wives, sit In our courts,
draw salaries In out- offices, usefully
act as governor*, eolonels and ptesl-
d *Hut, oh, the men of genius! What
would the world he without them?
They carry the fleeting glories of na
ture Into th* Imperishable custody of
the canvas: they catch the |>aaslng
dream of beauty and chain It forever
in the marble hand* of the statue.
Thay sing to us, und the world listens,
delighted, melted. Inspired. Thef
play for us und the light of their
thoughts Illuminate the way for a|
men down the corridors of Time, till
Time shall be no more. The man of
talent we ntuet have, for life has Its
routine, It* drudgery—Its dray* to
draw. Its wood to hew. It* wheel* to
turn, its prosaic commonplaces which
must be regarded. But what wruld
life bo without Ha bugle calls to higher
and better things, the sun-bursts of In
spiration which reveal to our dellghte l
vision the high table-lands of human
nobility and humun happiness: the di
vine unwritten noiseless music within
our Innermost natures which only the
man of genius can awaken?
If we were asked to analyze the
power of Sam Jonee we would any that
the cldet element* are clear mental
vision fearl-rs soul, kind heart, nnd
unbridled, trretcrem. witty tongue. H's
fpe.d eyes enable him to see the world
just ns It Is—Its sad thing*. It* funny
things. Its sham things. It* hcutal
thlncv. Its terrible things, its beautlfu^
Hla fearless stul leads him to do
scribe what he sees, and the immertae
force of Truth and Realism becomes
hla ally. His kind heart enables him
to denounce, yet not drive away. to
chastise, yet love, to punish, yet win
the culprit.
His want of reverence for other men,
their ways of speech and of life, un-
chaltu him from the shackles of esnt,
custom, routine, nnd conventionality.
It frees him from Imitation. He thus
gets room for his own Individuality to
grow, his own fountain to play.
Being freed entirely from the chains
which enslave sc- many thousands of
public men, hts genius shines liko u
Slut-—Inexhaustible, radiant.
Put Talmagc In one pulpit, and
•Tones In another to deliver one sermon
In the same city, at the same time, and
Talmage might equal Jones In that
one sermon, and ndght get half ithc
crowd, for that one time.
But let thhnt start in to preach i
series of thirty or sixty sermons In th
same city at the same lime, and before
a week could elapse Talmege would
have nobody In his church but the
salaried choir, tho dent man In the
amen corner, and the Janitor. Jones
would capture the whole business. Hla
sermons would grow better day by day,
as his genius expanded, his thoughts
Intensified, and his heart warmed to the
work.
You c mid no more exhnnit Jones
then you could exhaust a star; While
Talmage. like all speakers of mere
talent, Is tilled for the occasion, like a
lamp; and when that pnrtleulnr supply
of oil Is burned out, you must wait for
light till the pout' thing can be tilled
again
Here's to you, Sam Jones!
Some day we shall meet beyond the
evening and the sun-set and the Crea
tor of us both know that not one
only of us tried to lift humanity and
to make It better, wlter. happier.
And because one, only, succeeded
thefe Is no good reason why the fail
ure should not be generous and send
greeting to the success.
May twenty other years come anil go,
finding you constant In strength, con
stant tn good works, constant In bc-
nlun Influence over the erring ot a
fallen world. ' T. E \V.
A MONUMENT TO 8AM JONES.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In view of the universal usefulness
and popularity of flHm Jones a* a man,
a citizen nnd a preacher, he being In a
class to himself, I suggest that the
people erect In Atlanta a monument to
his memory.
If The Georgian will accept this sug
gestion and push It. there will be a
proinnt response from all classes from
all sections of our country. If you see
proper to net upon this suggestion you
may put me down for |S, payable on
demand. Yours very truly,

PROPER MONUMENT
TO REV. 8AM JONES,
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Some writer for your paper ha* a|.
ready suggested a monument to flit
great Georgia evangelist. Such a move
ment will strike a responsive chord In
the public mind. What would be a
suitable monument to Sam Jones? ir
we will follow the,bent of his life and
deeds we will be convinced that mar
ble and bronze would not perpetuate
his memory as he would have It. if
suggestions are needed, as an admirer
of one cf the greatest of Georgians. J
would suggest that his memorv b«
perpetuated In an endowment of th*
Decatur Orphans' Home, tvhere tha
money that would go Into cold marble
otherwise will be each year alleviating
human Ruffering and contributing to
human happiness, and that would be
like 8am Jones living. Let the trusteee
of the home—Candler, Muse and
Hemphill—be the custodians of the
fund anil let everybody send their
contributions to these custodians, nnd
let It afterward be determined by the
amounts given the best manner of it*

FORECASTING HOKE
SMITH’S WORK,
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I am glad to see that our governor,
elect, Hon. Hoke Smith, Is taking an
active Interest'ln a thorobgh organisa
tion of the state militia.
We need nt present a large, thor-
oughly organised state guard, well
equipped. AVe should be prepared for
any emergency that may arise. n ur
governor should be provided with such
means as may be necessary to enable
him to enforce tho laws of the state. I
ant glad to say he haa Impressed me
with the belief that he Intends to aee>
thst the laws-, are strictly 'enforced:
not only that, but he means to give us
clean, economical government. I
don't think he Is disposed to gpen up
ney offices for kin folks or political
friends, but to the contrary, I think he
Is disposed to do away with some of.
flees, where one man can do what two
are now doing. The people do not want
to pay two men to do what one enn and
should do. They are tired of -you
tickle me and I will tickle you." Mr,
Smith Is under no obligations to any
political boss or bosses for his election.
He Is under obligations to the masses
of the people for the grand landslide
he made in the August election.
He had the manhood and courage to
spenk out what he knew the people
wanted. AVe hope he will be equally
courageous In doing, as governor, what
he knows the people want. ,

THE AFRO-A~MERICAN.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
You are doing a work for the coun
try at large that you could not have
done as a member of either house of
the American congress.
You are at work on the greatest prob
lem before the people of America, on*
that challenges the earnest thought of
all thinkers among us. Tn the solu
tion of this problem your name will b*
enrolled among the benefactors of th*
human race.
You are forcing this question before
the nation as the question of all ques
tions. It will have to be settled as t
national and not as a mere local Irsue.
The writer haa stood with you for yesrs
In youk ndvocacy of separation of th*
races, and every other solution of th*
tosue we have hailed with absorbing
Interest.
Through your columns I wish to pre
sent to tho readers of The Georgian
some Ideas of Bishop J. M. Walden, of
the Methodist. Episcopal church, de
livered before'a meeting of preachers
recently In the city of Cincinnati. Th*
Northern bishop hays: - "This country
will not fulfill Its objects until the ns-
tlon comes to consider Its relation with
the negro ns that of a guardian to a
ward. This problem Is not a problem
of the North alone, nor of the South
alone. It Is a problem for the nation.
This nation which Is so rich and pow
erful must solve the, race question It
self." "
This man talks like a statesman. All
of the South are nt work on the prob
lem, but It Is too great a question to be
satisfactorily settled without the help
of the entire nation. Let the great go' -
eminent of the Utflted States assist In
the solution of the future of the Afro-
