It I. a matter of plea.ure for The
Oeorctan to be able heartily to join In
the general welcome given to Uncle
Remua’ Magazine, announcement of
which haa ju.t been made.
The magazine Iz projected along he
roic lines, and has set for Itself a
standard which, If maintained, assures
Its auccess. Its motto Is “typical of
the South, of Interest to the Niy-th,
national In ' scope." The most nnlky
can find no fault with that.
In considering the new venture, the
mind naturally hearkens back to the
many Southern magazines of the past,
which early succumbed to the grim
reaper. They all languished and passed
away from pretty much the same
cause.—lack of money and narrowness
of scope. The names of a dozen of
Atlanta’s most prominent figures In the
financial world In the directorate of the
publishing company and the fact that
Joel Chandler Harris |a to be active
editor, seem to remove at the start
the old menace from this new project.
Looked at from the material stand
point, the new magazine Is welcomed
by Atlantans because It will mark n
great advance by the city in a new
direction.
From tho perspective of the read
ing public it will be welcomed, because
It promises something new and of de
cided class In tha mata of literature
and near-llterature of the day.

PRESIDENT HARVIE JORDAN UNDER FIRE.
Those are serious charges that C. 8. Darrett, president of the Farmers*
Union, makes against Harvle Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton
Xlfociatloti, and they are not lotie lightly dismissed as public airing of^a
private quarrel or extension of the ca^aethes .s-ribendl now epidemic.
The burden uf Mr. Barrett’* card can hardly bo called an Insinuation
or Innuendo. ’
As president of the Farmers' Union he makes flat, direct, unequivocal
charge of a ‘‘Wall street annex established by Mr. Jordan,” president of
the Sofi’.hern Cotton Association. Following this up, he says:
”Le«t what I say be regarded as vague—and I am a man who speaks
by direct methods, and who endeavors to conceal nothing—let me say that
whan l refer to Mr. Jordan* Wall street annex, 1 but give utterance to the
protect of„thqusands of farmers throughout the South at his constant Inter
course with some of the prominent siieculators of Wall atreet—men who
are known to be perfectly conscienceless when It comes to dealing with any
body who has anything tirseli. Who, for' Instance, would think of Joe
Hoadley as belng a farmers’ Moses? And yet backward and forward Mr.
Jordan has gons between Atlanta and Mr. Hoadley* luxurious New York
office, was gorgeously entertained recehtly, I understand, on Mr. Headley’s
$3,000,000 yacht on an Atlantic cruise, and then comes back, still damp with
the ocean mists, just In time to announce that the reports of the gulf
storm had been greatly exaggerated and that this year* cotton crop wouhj.
be the SECOND largest In the history of the South.” i
The directness of this allegation demands an equally straightforward
statement from President Jordan. /
For the frleOfshlp of Mcears. Jordan and Joe Hoadley haa for a year
bean a matter of much comment In the cotton exchanges of the country.
For Instance-!
i The following cotton letters were Issued' I4lt winter by One of the lead
ing brokerage houses of the New York Exchange, being telegraphed all over
the country for the Information of speculators:
DAILY COTTON.LETTER.
New York, N. Y„ December 7, 1803.
Business Is at a practical standstill, pending the Issuance of the census,
which la likely to be In the neighborhood of eight and one-half millions
ginned. ..We doubt'If It will have more than tamporary effect cither way,
as this is but the census department* effort to count the bales of a crop,
ihs total of which we all feel certain will not exceed ten and a quarter mil
lion bales.
While the market hesitates, awgltlng this report, it Is great satisfaction
to feel assured that the work Is being scientifically done- and no amount of
graft or influence can affect It.
Many people .distrust the market because of Hoadley* conspicuous as
sociation with It. He Is making the most of his alleged friendship for Pres
ident Jordan, and the latter gentleman Is Injuring a great cause by not'
denying the report of his, frequent conferences with this notorious person.
' DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New York. N. Y„ December II, 1005.
It Is easy to comprehend the position of Hoadley In the cotton market,
but no thinking man can approve of Mr. Harvle Jordan* association with
a notorious speculator, simply because he apparently and for the time be
ing favors higher prices for cotton. ,\jr. Jordan Is supposed to represent tHe
Intelligence and. determination of the cotton planter. The country looks to
him to Stand for and defend the highest alms and purposes of the 8outh, and
he weakens a great cause by making any speculator his confidant and
spokesman. Nothing could have transpired to so destroy confidence In the
cotton market as the recent proceedings of the president of the Southern
Cotton Association.
During the past two days there has Seen a fair liquidation of long ac
counts and the market has a better tone, notwithstanding the decline, and
had the buying been under leadership In which the trade had confidence, we
would not have relapsed Into the present dullness. As It Is, however, from
the superficial Influences the market In the end will respond to the condi
tions which are apparent lo every one who thinks for himself.
TELEGRAPHIC NOTE.
New York, February Jl.
The people whom Harvle Jordan announced as the backbone of the un>
derwrltlng syndicate are doing the liquidating this morning. So ends an
other piece of folly.
It would appear that the speculative market felt a more than specula-
tlve Interest in the friendship of President Jordan and Mr. Hoadley! 1
The members oFthe Southern Cotton Association and those of the
South who regard the welfare of the association aa a matter of vital Im
portance to them will await President Jordan* 'explanation or statement
with keen Interest.

The Fraternity System.
A light at Mercer University between
fraternity men and those denominated
’’barbarians'’ In the undergraduate
vernacular calls attention again to the
problem that has for many years been
perplexing college presidents and col
lege trustee^ of the country.
The Oreek tetter fraternity Is an
established fact. Hence, It will require
much theory In Hie shape of strong
argument to overjhrow It ^a an Insti
tution. There she; speaking roughly,
fifty big national fraternities drawing
their active membership from tha stu
dent body of the leading universities
and colleges of the country. Nearly
alt of them have been In existence more
than 35 years. Their me,mbera, active
and graduate, are conspicuously loyal
to their fraternity, and all the Oreek
letter men—though they aa bodies have
their rivalries and quarrels among
themselves—unite In a common cause
when any attack Is made on the exist,
enca of the fraternity.
Agitation against the^fraternlty has
never rescind an acute etage In the
colleges of Georgia, and at present the
Oreek letter societies are flourishing at
the State University at Athens, at
Emory,-at Mercer, at Tech and at the
Dahlonega school. Yet there le In at
least four of these colleges an orgaht-
atlon of the non-fraternity men, cer
tainly for purpose of lighting the fra
ternities In college politics and possi
bly for the purpose of making for the
abolltlon'or the ”frat" system.
Fraternity men argue that their or
ganisations are baaed on. the highest
Ideals of morality and manhood: that
they bring the 1 chosen few together In
society that la of pleasure and of
prollt; that the affiliation acconipllshea
a result that would otherwise be eoughl
hopelessly by the college president. In
bringing the younger—and naturally
rather Inclined to be wayward—stu
dents under the Influence of the older
and steadier men. That there la much
strength In this last argument none
who haa aver known college life can
doubt, a rare exception appearing no*
and then In which the older members
have had corrupting Influence.
Against the fraternity system Is
brought the one potent argument of
undemocratic exctuslveneas. The fra
ternity men naturally re-ly that there
can be no society without exclusive
ness. However, their opponents argue
that the system leads to snobbishness,
superciliousness, aelflshnes- and fre
quent adherence to Wives that are
opposed to the Interest of the student
body a* a whole. They maintain that
the vernacular Itself snow* the spirit
of the Institution In terming the socie
ty men "Greeks" and all others "bnr.
barlana." And In every college the
ratio Is at least one fraternity man
to three "non-frat" men.
Yet there never was a good that was
wholly good. It must always be con
sidered a matter <jf relativity.
And In maintaining the fraternity
systems the universities have deter
mined that the general good resulting
outweighs the evils.
There Is one feature In the system
that seems to require changing, how.
ever.
Under the scheme as It Is now new
fraternity men are aelected Immediate,
ly upon the opening of college each
year, and frequently tjiey are elected
and "pledged” even before they enter
college. In thla way many students of
character and ability, men who deserve
to be fraternity men and men who feel
throughout their college course the
slight, are because of slight uncouth-
ness of appearance, perhaps, or of a
retiring disposition nr of n lack of
prepossessing superficiality not elected
members. And It seems to be a general
custom that no man, unasktd by a
fraternity during the "rushing senson."
shall be elected later, even though he
haa demonstrated his worth and de
sirability.'
JTor the sake of ieternal fairness and
In order the better to realise their own
Ideals, the fraternities should change
their arbitrary manner of electing new
members and make achievement in the
college world the criterion of qualifies,

New Rules Make Good.
Football comment on tide page may
seem to be rather an Intrusion into tha
peculiar province of the sporting edi
tor, hut the "debrutallxatlon" of the
sport has become a national question
along with fonetlk retawrm. frenzied
finance, the future of Cuba and'’Rill
Taft.
The Arst thorough teat of the efficacy
of the new rules occurred Saturday,
w hen Princeton and Cornell, two of the
so-called Big Six of American athlet
ics. met at New York. Concerning the
game and the working of the reno
vated rules, the football critic of The
New York Sun says:
“The 30.000 persons who hemmed In
the gridiron saw the first real big game
under the new rules, and to them It
was clearly demonstrated that the rear
was groundless that the new rules with
strong, evenly matched elevens battling
would reduce scoring to a minimum.
Not only was the scoring up to the
average, but the changing phases of
football as encouraged by the 1$0* code
dovetailed the old and the new smooth
ly in.good ratio anil with sharply de
fined distinctions, keeping Interest al
ways on edge, shifting the battle hither
and thither and yet not making science
and well-defined policy subservient to
luck and chance.
“A premium was put on vigilance
and resourcefulness, yet team work and
unity of aqtlon did not go unrewarded.
In short, there was gre&ter variety
than In big games of previous years,
the ball was exposed to tht stands a
great deal by the open play and the
better team won by a natural margin.
This test the new rules survived. ’Why,’
wrts the comment of a close observer,
this game Is like baseball; they throw
the ball around so much.’ ”
It would nppear from this that the
national rules committee Is to be con
gratulated on the success of Its re
form.
Football la ao great a aport and has
power to do so much good In the mak
ing of stalwart and aggressive young
manhood that It would be a pity for It
to be sacrificed because of tendency- to-
ward brutality and extreme haxnrd of
life and limb.
It Is well that the rules have been so
rectified. .

JOHN MARSHALL
John Marshall, the great chief Jus

As x a very young man he was a sur

Continental army, where he did ullant

Centralism, while Jefferson was the
uncompromising champion of “State

Rut whatever his theories of the con
stitution may have been, John Marshall
was, in the truest sense of the word, a
Democrat. It was said of him that “the
chief Justice of the United States never
ceased to be plain John Marshall."

In 17*5 Washington, who highly es
teemed him, offered - him the office of
attorney general of the United States,
and In 17*8 he was asked to accept the
place of minister to France, both of
which were refused.
In 1797 President Adams prevailed
upon him to go as envoy extraordlnnry
to France to settle our disputes with
that country. While In Paris Marshall
was pitted against the astute and wily
Talleyrand, the prince of European dip-

“UNCLE REMUo” ON PARADE.
Joel t'handler Harris, affectionately
known throughout all the’land as "Un
cle Remus,” has Just performed the al
most* unheard-of act of appearing at a
public reception In Atlanta and shak
ing hands with "hla many frlendi.”
No man lives that loves the quiet and
peace of the restful home like "Uncle
Remus.” He Is ns shy as any girl. In
deed, but two other Instances of his
public appearance are' on record: one
when he dined with a party of friends
nt a neighbor's, "once upon a time,"
and again when he donned his recep
tion clothes to meet Mr*. Roosevelt,
when she and the president were last
In Atlanta. Unless historical data be
at fault and records not faithfully kept,
these two Instances alone constitute
the entire sum and substance of "Un
cle Remus' ” social ventures.
No wonder The Atlanta Constitution
thought the third event of sufficient
Importance lo give It double volumu
failed—balked by the Incorruptible In
tegrity nnd great good sense of the
Virginian! .
When Marshall got back to New
York he was given one of the grandest
receptions ever known up to that time,
and then was heard, for the first time,
the historic slogan, "Millions for de
fence, but not a cent for tribute!"
In 1709, at the special request of
Washington, Marshall ran for congress
and was elected, and In 1*02 he was
appointed to the high office of chief
Justice of the United States by Mr.
Adams.
This exalted place Marshall tilled for
35 years. As chief Justice h# may b#
said to have created the spirit of. na
tionality. He firmly believed In the
nation, end In the constitution as Its
"fundamental law.”

annually to Rnlelgh, N. and on such
occasions he would nlways stop with a
certain landlord whose house wns noted
for Its want of comfort. On one of his
visits the chief Justice wns seen very
early In the morning gathering up an
armful of wood at the woodpile, which
he carried Into tho house. When asked
later on In the day what he Imd been
about In the morning, he replied: "I
suppose It Is not convenient for Mr.
Cook to keep a servant, so I make up
my own flres."
No man ever questioned Marshall's
Integrity. His unsophisticated good
ness awed all men.
As Is well known, Marshall presided
at the famous Aaron Burr trial. In
which we have a striking demonstra
tion of the absolute Integrity nnd Jus
tice of Marshall's character. He was
Intimately acquainted with and dearly
loved Alexander Hamilton, and yet he
charged the Jury In favor of Aaron
Burr—because from the evidence In the
case he saw that Burr was not guilty.
