This should he done at once. The Georgian be lieves that if street railways can be operated auccessfully by European cities, as they are. there Is no good reason why they cannot be so operated here. But we do not believe this can lie done now. nnd It tniy I* some year* before we are ready for ao Idg an un dertaking. Still Atlanta should set lie face In that dlrectiou NOW. Sew Orleans with something of regu- larity. There is nothing along the whole length of the Southern railway, not even the question of freight rates about which the people are so much in protest, as there Is over the almost un broken series of delays in the move ments of this great through train be tween the East and the Southwest. We shall be glad at any time to re cord an Improvement in this schedule or a faithful effort on the part of the officials to make It better. Where the Trains Are Delayed. The delays In the larger schedules of some of our grest railways are getting to be something more than an Incon venience. They are a positive loss In many commercial aspects to the people of the 8outh. Let ns take for Instance the South ern railway. The Southern railway Is tha greatest transportation system In the South. It Is perhaps the richest, the longest, the best cqulpiied. and Is supposed to be under the strongest financial management of any transpor tation line In these Southern states. In the main, the Southern railway Is suc cessfully managed. Its equipment Is fine. Its comforts and luxuries are un surpassed. Its finances are well con ducted. Its political affairs are looked after with magnificent ability profits are regular and satisfactory In every respect to the stockholders, and Its stock Is quoted high upon the ex change. , The Southwestern Yestlbuleit l.lmlt; ed from Washington to New Orleans Is the greatest (rain on the length of the Southern railway. It Is the most important, tbs best equipped, the most famous and the moBt comfortable. It Is not too much to say that this'train Is scarcely ever on time between the first of October and the first of May. Scheduled to arrive In Atlanta at 3:Gf> ' in the afternoon. It rarely gets here be fore half past six or seven, and some times, many times, even later. Now the question Is, why this almost unbroken record of Irregularity on the best train of the best road In the Southern system? 8ome great railroads have trains that are late sometimes. We <H> not know any other great railway whose best train la Isle all ot the time nr at least nearly all of the time. A study of the situation reveals the fact that these delays occur almost In variably between Washington and Charlotte. The vestibuled Is generally landed In Washington on time by the Pennsylvania railroad. When It reaches Charlotte It comes with no further de lay straight through to Atlanta, and the universal testimony of the thou sands who are annually delayed on thia road Is to tbs effect that the dls treating and harrowing delays which keep men and women from Important engagements, and which so largely af fects both the United States mall and the commerce of this section, arc al most Invariably recorded al some one or other of these feeding lines running into the main line between Manassas Junction and Salisbury, N. C. It would seem easy with the contll tlons so very greatly simplified, that the brains and the resources of this great railway system ought to be able to cure a difficulty or defect that Is limited to about 250 miles of Its route. Surely then the executive capacity of the train dispatchers and the traffic managers of the Southern railway ought to be able to better the condi tions about which all classes of people In this southern country are complain ing. There is nothing Ill-natured in this criticism. The desire of The Georgian ia not to berate but to suggest; not to abuse but to help. We think we have stated the conditions fairly, and we se- rloualy think that one of the earliest conferences between the great heads of this system ought to take Into con sideration some ways and means of regulating the traffic conditions be tween Washington and BAUibury. We feet sure that It the full strength of the Southern's equipment can be con centrated on this point, that the mat ter ought to be settled and we ought to tee, at least more frequently than we hare done, the Southern Veetibuled come rolling into Atlanta and on to HEARST NOW OR HEREAFTER. Our esteemed friend of The Journal Is entirely mistaken In think ing that the possible defeat of Mr. Hearst would not weaken the cause of reform In New York and that some other candidate could have led this cause more sincerely and more successfully than the editor ot The New York American. The Journal has rarely been more mistaken, and this Is putting it rather strongly, than In the supposition that any man could have led this movement more effectively and more successfully than William Ran- <lolpl) Hearst. In the first place, Mr. Hearst has built up the movement to Its present status of possibility by the work and the advocacy of his eight great newspapers for the last ten years. Day by day he has sown the seed, and day by day his harvests of public opinion have grown beneath Ills hands. With four great dally newspapers In New York to supplement his speeches on the stump, Mr. Hearst was infinitely better prepared to propagate tbeae Ideas, to preach these reforms and to lead this great cause than any other man. Moreover his record Is Infinitely better for leadership along this Hue than any other man who could possibly have been named or who can be named within the next decade to lead this movement What he preaches he has practiced: what he tells the people to do hd has really done; what he advocates he has accomplished; wbat he denounces he has restrained, and his newspapers and his injunctions have won so many victories from the fortified redoubts of the trusts, magnates and the syndicates, that he carries In New York exnctly the same conception which Hoke Smith car ried in Georgia—the suggestion of s personality strong enough and domi nant enough to accomplish what he undertakes and to execute what he was elected to do, because he has already fulfilled every other promise and accomplished almost every other thing for the people that he had set out to perform. > Any man who knows anything of leadership nnd Its qualifications, ought to know that this makes the most superb of nil equipment for lead ing the great cause of reform. The Journal need not concern Itself about the Impression ot Mr. Hearst's sincerity aa a leader ot the reform movement. If Mr. Hearst is not believed to be sincere, no man in this republic need ever hope to win that degree of confidence from the people in any other campaign In our history. Nobody In New York Is more profoundly convinced of his sin cerity than the trusts who with such frenzied sincerity are fighting him. It Is because they believe so tremendously In Hearst's sincerity that they are putting forth such strenuous efforts to defeat one whose work they so greatly dread when It cornea to executive authority. Nobody on either side In New York really believes Me Hearst to be Insincere In his advocacy of the reforms he seeks. He may be believed by many to be dangerous, and he'doubtless Is believed by the selfish capitalists and trusts to bo dangerous (as he certainly Is) to tbelr selfish and monopolistic schemes. But neither people nor plutocrats have any question of the fact that It he Is elected governor that he will do with all his might and main every thing that mortal man reinforced by ample capital and able lawyers can do to bring about tho reforms which are needed In the public life of New York. The people know In this matter that If Hearst cannot do this nobody else can do It. Without power and without place he haa already done so much more than any pretender has done with power and with place. There It not In all the clamor of New York politics anything more hol low than this sham cry of distrust of,the sincerity ot the Democratic can didate. We do not believe Mr. Hearst will lie defeated In this c-lectioa. As wo have said before, nothing but money by the house-full can buy the election away from him, It niust be confessed that the money Is there to do It. In spite of this wo believe that the people arc going to triumph, that they hare the bit In their teeth, that they see things clearly and that In spite of money, they nre going to work and win for themselves and for reform the phenomenal triumph ot these two decades. I Hut If they do not, The Journal need give Itself no concern, for tho next leader for this same cause In New York will not bo some other man. such, for Instance, ns Its famous and successful hero, Alton B. Parker, or any other half-hearted equilibrist between the camps of capital and the people, but It will be this same William Randolph Hearst who leads today, and the only man who, upon the present horizons can over lead the people of New York to safe and substantial victory along the lines of his present simple nnd noble platform. Krr “ZjmrJ frats SHOULD not solicit NEW MEMBERS IN THE FALL Lowndes and Liberty, and that Just as soon as the rawness of their new ness has worn awgjr In the -Impudent atmosphere of Atlanta, they are likely to rise In the might and majesty ot beef and bones and wallop the Sophs Into repentance and withdrawal. It doeim't matter that the Juniors and Seniors have underwritten the ukase of the Sophs. The Freshmen alone are more than two hundred strong and outnumber Sophomore, Senior and Junior In a tripartite al liance. The Sophs ot the Technological school must not say that they have not been warned by a friendly power. The Georgian even goes so far as to offer Its good offices In arbitration Perhaps, If the Freshmen preserve an armed neutrality we may be able yet to patch up a Peace of Portsmouth or a Pact of Peachtree between the con tending factions. At any rate, we have done our part as a peacemaker, and It our counsel Is rejected we can at least Join the Red Cross Society and Join the Col lege Widows In carrying off the wounded from the field. But seriously, or humorously as you win, this Is a good Jive thine In the Sophs ot the Tech to do. It Is a good, bold burst of college spirit that brings the Tech up In the ranks of the republic’s great schools. The cane- rushes at Harvard and the tugs of war at Yale Bnd Princeton—the class wars at Cornell and Michigan and Oberlin and Wisconsin are a part of the great big life of these great schools. Godspeed to the manly boys in their mimic battles which are fitting them for the big real battle of the world. Only this: The limit of good hu mor and self control muBt never be overstepped. This Is not real but mimic war. This Is good humor on trial as well as strength. This Is mere- battle of brotherly brawn and strength, and any man of any class who. forgetting the spirit of the col lege, would strike with temper or use weapon, reflects upon bis own man hood and foreshadows a dangerous and unpopular career upon the larger field of strife. The class battles are, like football contests, meant tu be fought to the last amiable limit of strength and skill, but finished In friendship, with the best men nnd the next best always shak ing hands upon the field. To the Editor of Tho Georgian; It Is not the purpose of this paper to attempt to Justify the existence of college fraternities.

It Is required that every "sub" shall promptly surrender his seat In a crowded street car to a Sophomore or to a lady. It Is ordered that no "sub" shall bo allowed to smoke without written per mission from the president of the Sophs" or from the governor of Georgia, who hat, been cautioned (o be discreet. It Is ordered that no "sub” shall be allowed to smoke a pipe under uny conditions unless the word "sub" Is painted on hit pipe. It is ordered that no sub shall wear rumors of wars. There will be skir mishes betwpen the classes. There will be guerrilla warfare. Now and then some lonesome sub may have his hair cropped close without Ills consent by some amateur barber of the Sophs. Now and then some daring Soph, caught out alone by desperado subs, may go home with his shoes painted green or blue. And there may be at times some grand battle of brawn and good humor between the full strength of the two armies on some faternl bat tle field of Yalu or Mukden, or Mud- den. It Is against this rashness that we rise to solemnly warn the Sophs. We have noted with approval that tho Sophs have discretion as well as valor, and the first quality was never better illustrated than In the wise avoidance of applying these edicts to the Fresh man class. The Freshman class Is twice as numerous and nearly twice as a celluloid collar under any conditions.' big as the Sophs.

All indications point to an unusually busy session of the city council Mon day afternoon. The year Is fast drawing to a close and the members of council ure anx ious that nil business be performed as early as possible. Despite the fact that Is the wish of the body not to allow any unpaid debts to go over to the next administration, u goodly number of res olutions anti petitions for appropria tions will come up at the meeting. Principal among these Is the ordi nance providing for the paving of Peachtree street with asphalt. The nec essary advertisement has been made, states City Attorney Maysnn. und the question will be finally settled. Council nnd the uldornmntc boned have already signified an Intention to adopt the ordinance. Actual work on the paving Will, It Is planned, begin next week. The finance committee at n meeting Friday voted In favor of an appropria tion of something over 11,000 for the paving of Capitol square. It remains to be seen what action will he tuken by council on this matter. Small Appropriations. There are quite a number of smaller appropriations recommended by the finance committee, among them Pc!lis tin' repairing of West Hunter street at an expense of $250, und an amount u little litrger for granite steps at the new Pryor street school. The petition for a franchise by tho Atlanta nnd Carolina Construction Company will again be read and acted upon. The franchise was granted by council at the last session, hut was re committed to the finance committee by the aldermanlc board, on the objection of residents on oertuln streets on the proposed right of way, the nmln ob jection being that some of these streets were too narrow for tracks to be laid on them After going over the proposed route of the tnterurbans. one to West Point and the other to Conyers, the commit tee Saturday decided to rnuke u favor able report, with the provision that the Intcrurbnn company agree to widen the street* nt certain points. The report will probably be adopted by council. The special salts,n license committee will report the granting of three of the up plications, out of 28 which were up for consideration. TMc reason given will he the congestion of the traffic In the localities of the three saloons. Council will, no doubt, adopt the re port. Park Board Matter. Councilman Chosewood’s ordinance, changing the manner of selecting tho park hoard will again come tip, the or dinance committee having acted favor ably upon it. The otdlaanec provides that the mayor, the chairman of the park committee of council and one cit izen from each ward In the city shall constitute the board, the mayor to make the appointment of the ward rep. reaentattves. It Is doubtful what the action of council will be. The petition of the Piedmont De tective Agency that the private detect ives of the city not he subjected to ex amination by the police commissioners will be acted upon. Considerable In terest centers in the action of council on this question. ment and that they have steadily In creased In number and In extent of territory until now there Is scarcely a college of any Importance In the United States without them are sufficient evi dences that they are securely estab lished as a permanent Institution In American colleges. That their origin Is due to that phase of human nature which seeks associa tion and friendship; that their fun damental principles tend toward the moral education and social advance ment of their members; and that their Ideals are the highest, no one who Is familiar with their nature and pur poses will deny. But that there are defects In the actual workings of every fraternity, even In every chapter of every fraternity; that no fraternity comprising thousands of members chosen from various classes of socie ty. even no chapter of any fraternity, measures up to the great principles and high Ideals which It has set, are prop ositions equally incontrovertible. Nor are these faults peculiar to fra ternities. Every human Institution Is defective. The church, which Is of divine origin. Is perfect only In so far as it Is divine. Just where divinity leaves off humanity begins, and thus the church has Us bickerings. Its back sliders and its hypocrites. But because an institution Is Imperfect Is not rea son enough for It to be totally con demned. Jlecause It Is defective Is not sufficient reason why It cannot at the same time be beneficial. If Its pur poses are wholesome and Its operation reasonably consistent with them, then Its adherents should strive to remedy Its defects rather than carelessly to permit their continuance or hastily to conclude that they are past the point of correclon. It Is for the purpose of creating or. If It already exists, of stimulating a sentiment among college fraternities looking toward the correction of their faults and arousing or re-enforcing a desire among them to preserve their fundamental character and to live more nearly up to their Ideals that this paper is written. Nor Is It to be hoped that any mere agreement, no matter how salutary per se. no matter how well It Is calculated to meet the con ditions and correct them, will operate satisfactorily, unless It emanates from an honest desire on the part of Its makers to observe It and to co-operate with each other for Its success. In tho first place, then, the proposed remedy must give reasonable assurance that under Its operation conditions will be more agreeable and wholesome than they have been heretofore, In order that It may enlist the hearty support of those affected'by It. And this leads us to Inquire where the trouble He# which we seek to correct, and further wheth er the proposed plan will not, while It- works for Improvement along particu lar lines, at the same time entail other conditions that would be unfavorable and that would counteract the good to be accomplished. It is unnecessary In this paper to enumerate the weaknesses and defecta of the several fraternities, the correc tion of which Is sought to be brought about by this agreement. Whatever they nre, they are directly attributa ble to the defective characters of the individuals that go to make up their respective memberships. If the occa sion of undesirable members to the fra ternities Is reduced by the agreement, and If It does not operate so ns to ex clude those that are desirable, then It will have accomplished all that csuld reasonably be desired, and in so doing would establish a higher character and a better reputation for the fraternl ties. College fraternities have, in some In stanyes, been too hasty In pledging men for membership. Doubtless each of them can recall some Instance within the past few years wherein It has made a serious mistake, and one ever after wards to iqierate against Its tptegrlty nnd standing, by Initiating a inatr whom at first It thought desirable, hut who at length proved to be utterly un qualified for membership. Cnder present conditions there Is a rush at. the opening of college by the several fraternities In their efforts to secure for each Its sharo of available fraternity men, TTiat fraternity which would prefer to go alow nnd exercise more discretion in eluding a man Is forced, for the sake of t-elf-preserva- tlon. to act without due- deliberation, because the others will have secured such men ns It would otherwise have asked to join. As a matter of fact some men who are desirable have their minds made up before they reach college its to which fraternity they prefer to Join. They have been Influenced by alumni of that fraternity anil practlcdlly pledged beforehand, so that they only await nn invitation to declare their al legiance. Such, however. Is not true of a large per cent of acceptable men who have heard little and thought less about fraternities. Besides the two classes just mentioned there other class who are apparently nil right, who at first seem to be perfect gentlemen, whose family connection* are of good repute, and yet who would disgrace any respectable association; that made the mistake of Initiating them. There Is leas occasion for the pro posed agreement on account of the first two classes than on account of the third, yet there is an advantage both to the fraternities and to those desira ble men who contemplate Joining and who only need sufficient time In which to decide which fraternity really suits them best. No two of the fraterni ties would make the same Impression on the outsider who Is a careful ob server. He would find that the person, nel of one seemed more agreeable to him than that of another. The traits, character and appearance of one would Impress hltn mote favorably than like qualities of another wouid. If such be true, then after one lias had sufficient time to make these ob servations he would naturally join that fraternity which more nearly eorre spends to his own notions and Ideals. Each fraternity would attract men according to Its peculiar character and men ot different dispositions would Join the respective fratomitles accord ing as they were better pleased with one then with the others. Thus an original purpose of fraternity life- congeniality among its members— would be more nearly realized. But the most promising advantage— a consummation devoutly to be wlahed —to be gained by the proposed plan would be aj least the practical elimina tion of the third class above inentlonod —those who are utterly unfit for mem bership and who consequently are a burden to the fraternity unlucky enough to get them. Adherence to the terms of the agreement would reduce the probability of this class' ever gain. Ing admission Into any fraternity. After a fraternity had had the opportunity of observing for four months the con duct, character and class room work of a man It Is scarcely probable that It would be mistaken as to his qualifi cations for membership. Nor would such a plan likely result In a diminished desire on the part of new students to become fraternity men. If the agreement were made, the rule es tablished, It would be generally recog nlzed by the uninitiated as valid and binding and they would not expect to term of college. On the other hand, If after four months' observa tion one should conclude that he doesn't wish to join. It were better that he re main outside anyhow, for he would scarcely be a suitable man. Conformity to the compact would un doubtedly reduce the numerical strength of the fraternity, but that should receive the least consideration of any of the resulting conditions, for mere numbers count for nothing. Be- sides, the elimination of the undesira ble element would surely serve to raise the real standard and character and In the remaining I McRae, Ga. R. M. GIRARDEAU. COMMERCE AND THE 80UTH. Manufacturers' Record, Baltimore. "Following the line of least resist ance,” the "down hill haul to the sea,” the ever-growing commerce of the country is more and more seeking an outlet through Southern ports. Our foreign commerce, now $3,000,000,000 a year, will double and quadruple, as will our coastwise trade, but the number of our ports can be very slightly Increased even If millions should be expended. Nature has fixed the location of bur available ports and forever set tho limit upon their number. As commerce expands, Southern ports must grow In opulence and population. Great finan cial centers must naturally follow, and the vast commerce, of which we have seen only the beginning, which will soon flow through the South, will be a mighty factor In the building of rail roads, llie growth of cities, the Immi gration of people from other countries and other sections. There are few countries on earth which have such a geographical relation to the centers of productive energies on tho one side and the world’s commerce on the other as the Mouth.

Agents of the American have been searching Great Britain for the last fifteen year, to collect the documents and *an ex pense ot no less than $200,000, It Is es timated, has been -so Incurred.

They have been nominally apprals-a by the customs authority at $26,000 each and subjected to a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem, so that tho Morgan customs brokers paid $10,000 duty. It Is believed to be the purpose of Morgan finally to bequeath the Burns, manu scripts, along with other valuable lit erature and objects of art, to the Met ropolitan Museum of Art. In the best informed art circles It was stated that It Is Morgan’s Intention to bring over practically all the stat uary and other works of art he has accumulated In Europe for several years, paying full duty on same. It Is estimated the Morgan art treasure, now on the other side are valued a: al most $15,000,000. One never gives a dinner nowadays.
