The Georgian’s Frank Statement
to the Public.
The Georgian I* printing today a
atatement which It doee not believe
another newspaper In Atlanta would
hava the courage and the frankneia
to duplicate.
At leaat The Georgian frankly chal
lenges Its two contemporaries to an
emulation of the high example of bull'
nei* fairness and Integrity which It
seta today.
The matter of circulation Is oue
upon which many newspapers have
felt that they had a right to deceive.
Tbo circulation liar la one of the old'
eat figures in Journalism and news
papers who hold and profess'high’eth'
les In other lines have been alt too
much, given In time past to make ex'
travagant and misleading statements
al>out their circulation and to confuse
the minds of advertisers with extrava
aant claims which were not found In
the exact records of their printing
presses and their circulation Hats.
The Georgian In the beginning
made up Its mind that It would do
uothlng of this kind. The Georgian
lias done leas boasting about Its circu
lation than any successful paper of
which we have any knowledge or ac
count. Wc have not exploited the re
markable circulation with which our
first edition was given to the world.
We have not paraded or boasted to
our advertisers or to the public of the
steady and atately Increase which ah
moat unsought has come to us since
the first Issue was given to the world.
We have not engaged In a noisy wran
glo with our contemporaries upon this
always disputed point nor do we In
tend to do so now. But we fraukly
challenge the attention of the public
and the emulation of such of our con
temporaries as dare to follow, the
atatement published upon our open
page today.
We have not asksd and iball not
ask the public to take our word for
our own circulation, because the pub
lic has a good reason to dlatruat the
statements of newspaper* about them
selves. We have not been able to In
duce the general public to accept our
open offer to count the newspapers re
corded by the register of our great
Goss press from day to day. And so,
aa the only fair and honest thing left
for an honest press to do, we have
gone to an audit company—one of the
Itest and most reliable In the South-
one whose prosperity and reputatiou
depend upon the absolute fairness
and absolute truth of its Impartial re
ports. . We have selected from the
audit company Mr. C. B. Bldwell as
one of the ablest and most Incorrupti
ble of Its representatives. And. with
out Interference or suggestion we have
simply flung open to hint all of the de
partments of this establishment with
the single Instruction "to wade In and
And the troth and tell It."
Do yon know another newspaper in
Atlanta that would dare to do this
thing today? Mr. Bldwell's report la
given in his own worda and under his
own sworn aOdavit In The Georgian
today.
We honestly believe that the state
ment which Mr. Bldwell makes estab-
lishss The Georgian aa the second pa
per In circulation in the South. We
express this as a belief founded upon
Information that Is eminently satisfac
tory to ourselves.
We credit The Atlanta Journal with
a larger circulation than our own, al
though we frankly protest that we do
not credit The Journal by several
thousand with so large a circulation
aa it claims.
If these two statements, wade not
in jealousy but as simple business
propositions, should be questioned hy
our two contemporaries, they can And
an easy and honorable recourse An cm
ploying the American Audit Company,
or Alonso Richardson, or any other
high class accountant, and turn them
loose with the same Instructions and
the same boundless liberty given to
Mr. Bldwell, “to wade In and find the
truth and tell It."
We frankly and courteously chal
lenge our contemporaries to thla
course.
We frankly challenge them to fol
low the exumple of The Georgian in
permitting strangers and advertisers
to read on unexpected days the dally
register of the papers printed on tbelr
presses. .
Thla we have always doue and this
The Georgian will always do. This, as
we understand it, neither of our two
contemiiorarlea has ever done, and
neither of tlfem we believe will ever
do.
We frankly believe that the business
men of Atlanta will appreciate the
signal candor which The Georgian has
shown in this Important Dullness mat
ter. We believe that thla policy
honesty will commend us .In future
to their confidence and regard in any
Important statements that we may
make. And we are enjoying fo the
full the satisfaction of our own con'
science In the fact that we have never
misstated in any particular to the pub
lic which supports ua either as to the
scope of our circulation or the value
of our advertising columns.
Day by day we are printing the
sworn statements of business men to
the effect that they reap from no me
dium In Georgia results more satis
factory, and few one-half so satisfac
tory ga those which come to them
from their announcements In The,
Georgian.
We are going to live among this
people of Atlanta as long aa health'
and their good will and kind'assist'
ance will let ua live.
And we are going to live fairly and
honestly and kindly and truthfully,
telling no lies, doing little boasting for
ourselves, making no statements will'
Ingly which we are not able to prove,
We submit the sworn affidavits of
Mr. Bldwell to our friends and patrons
as a pledge of the honest policy to
which we have consecrated our Jour
nalistic Uvea, and cnce mure, not in
rivalry nor In competition, but In the
Interest of that good taun upon which
business and competition rest, we
challenge our two esteemed content
porarles to a consideration of thla ex
ample.
« MANTLE OF THE LATE J. M. HIGH
FALLS UPON ABLE LIEUTENANTS;
GREAT BUSINESS IN GOOD HANDS
"HOW IT HAPPENED" IN NEW YORK.
It la easy enough when it la all over lo And an explanation for the
thing that haa come to pass.
Perhaps the briefest and most comprebeuslre explanation Is to bo
had in the statement that Mr. Hearst was defeatad because Mr. Hughes
received the largest number of votes!
But there are those of ns who find some comfort and others who find
some diversion In looking for the reasons and causes of victory and de
feat.
Hearst was defeated within the last seven days.
Croker and Roosevelt and the Boodle bag were the trinity that over
came the people and their champion In New York.
Much aa It waa protested at the time, the fear or Croker fell upon
the New York Democracy on Thursday last. Neither Murphy nor Nix
on nor any other chief has ever filled the seat of Croker In the Wigwam
of Tammany Hall. They are all dwarfa beside him. lie was the great
boas and all the others were feeble Imitations. There has never been a
real ruler since hla time. For twenty years, since John Kelly's day, that
grim old man of great capacity sat In the door of Tammany and ruled
Its fortunes and its voters with an iron hand. There are men In New
York, middle aged men and old men who for so many years have known
no other political law than Croker’a will, that when hla voles' sounded
even from acroai tho aeaa, they went by sheer force of bablt to obey it.
Murphy baa never had Croker's hold upon the Wigwam, and when the
trumpet of Croker blew against tho bugle of Murphy, the old chief three
thomand miles away blew strong enough to blow more loyal voters from
the wigwam polls than had gone astray In many years. With Tammany
loyal andf joined to Hoard's own strength, Manhattan Island should have
rolled up 150,000 more votes than Hughes received.
. Secretary Root with the iqeaaage of the president did a deadly work.
Mr. Roosevelt's waa aa mean and dastardly a blow aa waa ever struck by
president or private cltlxen. It vjas a shot with a poisoned bullet and
was outside the etblce of war. It was a blow below the belt and In any prise
.ring of pugilistic pugs would have been called “a foul.” The president
knowt aa well aa any man that Mr. Hearst had nothing to do with the
murder of McKinley. He knows that tho agitation which Mr. Hearst In
voked at that time was fully and abundantly vindicated In the disclos
ures of rottenness and tyranny brought out In the Insurance scandals, the
exposures of Depew and Platt, the meat monstrosity and the gas grab.
He knows that without the ngltatlou and the light of fearless publicity
flung by fearless newspaper* the boodlofa and grafter* would be swindling
untouched today. He knows. It he will confess It, that his own activity
against the Northern Securities Company was quickened and Inspired
by the marshalled testimony which Mr. Hearst flung as a challenge at •
hla feet. And for the president of tho United States to leave his high
station, lower his great estate, and come down Into the arena to levy a
charge of murder against an opponent who had simply agitated the eco
nomic wrongs wrought by a lot of selfish and heartless trusts, Is the un-
worthlest act that has stained the escutcheon of the president.
Hut It won. It was low but It was effective. With all of Theodore
Roosevelt's undimlnished prestige and popularity behind a charge of mur
der—with the wraith of the man. red McKInlay rising behind the motor
car of Hearst, there were thousands of workmen pledged to his cause who
either betrayed him or did not vote.
And for labor to betray a friend like lluarst. was the stab of the
Brutus who should have been loyal when all else were false.
Last and greatest of the controlling cauaos were the money bags of
the opposition. Held In reserve until the last moment, and even sounding
the cry of poverty aa a misleading ruse, the uncounted millions of the
trusts let go the purse striuga after the president had spoken, and no
man will ever know the money that walked amid the masses In tempta
tion and corruption on Saturday and Sunday and Monday nights pre
ceding tho election.
Well, the battle will go on. ltcarst told four thousand common j>eo-
pie on the Bowery and repeated It an hour later to more people In Car
negie Hall that as long as he had breath and brains and a dollar to
Bpend, he should keep up this light In the ranks or at the front. He Is
young, superbly vigorous, thoroughly dauntless and absolutely conse
crated to the people's cause. It Is the love and the passion of his life
to light for them. We are thoroughly convinced that he can know no hap
piness outaldc of thla. He has great wealth, nine great newspapers, at
last a great organisation of his own, and like the fabled ancient, he rises
stronger from every fall.
Me has thousands of friends In every state of the republic, aud that
he la the real Idol and leader of the plain people of America no man who
has eyes and brains can deny. He has no reason to be discouraged after
the magnificent fight he has made. No man who ever figured In our his
tory has fought such odds,
Every trust aud corporation lu the East was fiercely and actively
against him. The wealth, the prestige and the Influence of his own party
was opposed to him. Every United States senator of his party was si
lent or antagonistic. Scarcely a half dozen congressmen were with him.
Every newspaper in New York except his own were moving heaven aud
earth against him. The mayor of his own great city—a member of his
ovd great party—was in the ranks of his intensely active enemies; the
president of the Uulted States with the whole enormous |>ower of the
administration, marched Into the open Held to deal him an unworthy
nlow, and all the money that political workers could nsk or think, was at
the service of his organized and desperately eager foe*.
And yet against such odds and lighting almost alone, the world, the
flesh and the corporation elements of the Republican and Democratic
parties could only beat him 40.000 votes!
It wasn't much of a victory after all aud its narrowness should move
the victors to humility and reform.
W. R. M’CLELLAND.
THE IDEAL SITE FOR THE ARMORY AUDITORIUM.
The Armory-Auditorium wants a site and It is essential that It should
be ample in apace and well located for the great purposes for which the
Armory-Auditorium Is set.
Up to this time the auditorium committees have found no site which
will fulfill all tho requirements resting In the minds of Its founders and of
the city.
In this connection, permit The Georgian to make a suggestion which
may not be practical now, but which might perhaps be made so, and whose
offering can do no possible harm and may result iu some other sugges
tion out of which we may derive definite assistance In this emergency.
Governor-elect Hoke Smith, of Georgia, Uvea In a house of hla own on
West Peachtree street. It la altogether a better and more comfortable
house than the one which the state has provided for the residence of Its
chief executive during hla term* of office. Governor Smith, who bat a
loyal regard for the tradition! of the state, and the customs of hla prede
cessors, will, of course, move Into the Governor's Mansion because It
would bo a discourtesy to the state not to do so.
But we feel abundantly Justified in the belief that Governor Smith
would look with large favor upon the proposition to permit him to remain
In hla own ample bouae during hla term of office, and that he might In
alt probability strongly favor the use of the present Executive Mansion
and Its site for the great public building which la to mean so much for the
state.
The alte on which the Governor’s Mansion la located la perhaps better
suited to the Armory-Auditorium than any other lot now In sight and
under discussion and negotiation by the committees working upon that
enterprise.
Its distance from the center of town I* Ideal.
Us front upon Peachtree street is admirable and majestic. Its leovth
stretches hadk such a stately distance aa to permit the erection of the
largest and moat comprehensive public building in the South or In the
country, and which, aa the city grows, could be added to from time to
time In the splendid opportunities which Its great area would permit.
The State Guard la an applicant for accommodation and a co-worker and
co-beneflclary of tho Armory-Auditorium. The State Guard la a part of
the scheme. The State Guard is as deeply Interested in the enterprise aa
any part of the city or the state. The State Guard has contributed as lib
erally out of Its private funds to the subscription for the bonds by which
the Armoi’y-Audltorimn is to be built.
Take one other fact.
Tho present executive mauslou Is not up to the standard of the great
and prosperous Georgia of today. Neither In architecture, design nor
Internal comforts Is it worthy to be the home of the chief executive of
the Empire State of the South. It Is Inadequate In size and equipment and
totally Inadequate In architectural design and plans to be the home of the
first cltlxen of Georgia, prepared for him by the great and prosperous state
over which ho presides. It has been for many year* the subject of discus
sion among thoughtful and public-spirited citizens that there should be a
new mansion. ,
Now, then, suppose these conditions might be reconciled to this emer
gency.
Let us suppose, ror instance, that the state with the concurrence of
Its present and future governor, could be Induced to donate or even sell
the site of the executive mansion to the State Guard In this capital city of
Georgia. Let us suppose, then, that with this generous recognition of the
State Guard ou the iiart of the commonwealth, that this great alte, the
most admirable In location, the most admirable In size and In conditions
to be found lu the city, might be turned over for the greatest public build
ing In Georgia next to the cnpltol. A building jointly dedicated to tho uses
of the slate In the persons of Its military, and to the city In the entertain
ment of the great and distinguished people who come to visit both the
city and the slate. Then the great question Of a site would be admtrably
and Anally settled In a better and Imopler way than any of ub have eith
er hoped or conceived it might be settled.
Where.-then, you ask, would the Governor of Georgia live? Why we
have already expressed the desire of thoughtful and patriotic people
throughout the state to see the first citizen of our commonwealth housed In
a better and n statelier home. There are a dozen homes on Peachtree that
could he bought within reasonable lines that would be worthy of Georgia
and u better house for Its chief executive. There are stately mauslons on
that thoroughfare which the state might purchase. We know one which
is nearer In iierbaps than Its proprietor would desire, but exactly near
enough for this civic purpose, that might be bought. And this home would
make for Georgia the beat and most appropriate house for Its chosen head
than any other gubernatorial mansion in the South, and almost better
than any other in the country.
Even if the state should deem H best to sell the sl(e of the present
executive mansion and to devote the profits of this sale in |>art to the pur
chase of this nobler and statelier residence for Its governor, the situation
might still be met and as a result all |>artles,- the city, the military, the
state and the governor would all be benefited and thla great, rich and
prosperous commonwealth could well afford to stand the comparatively la-
significant strain ui»it Its resource} for a purpose so clear and desirable.
At any rate this Is an Interesting matter for dissuasion. We submit
these reflections to those who have the matter more nearly In charge,
and if nothfrtg can lie done upon the lines of our suggestion, then at least
no harm baa been done in their frank and free consideration.

THE J. M. HIGH COMPANY
WILL CONTINUE BUSINESS
Mr. W. R. McClelland, vice president and general manager of the J.
M. High Company, haa authorized the announcement that the business of
the J. M. High Company would be continued.
Mr. McClelland said; "The 3. M. High Company Is Incorporated.
Months before his death Mr. High organised the business with the pur
pose In view of providing for Its permanent management.
"Hla plans will be carried out, and there will be no change In the bust-
That the works that men do live after
them la moil emphatically shown by
the career of J. M. High, who died last
Friday.
Mr. High's work was that of build
(ng a great retell business, but in do
Ing so he built commercial character
into men who will make his business
live for many years to come.
John Wannamaker once said that
his stores were burned and his cus
tomers token from him he would get
up again, but said he, “leave me my
stores and my customers and take my
organisation away from me and I am
ruined." What doea taking away hla
“organisation'" mean? It means you
take away men who have been growing
with him for a quarter of a century,
who started ns cash boys 10 vests old,
but who now are his managers.
In a smaller way, but In the same
way, Mr. High has left to his ramily,
his employees and to his patrons, men
who have been with him through years,
and who for some time past have had
te carry on the business almost en
tlrely.
The manager of the business for
some time has been Mr. W. R. McClel
land, Its vice president and treasurer.
"Mr. Me," aa he Is most familiarly
known, went with Mr. High In the (0's
and for several years, during Mr
High’s falling health, he has had prac'
tlcally all the responsibility of guld
Ing the enterprise. Mr. McClelland t
one of those quiet, loyal men who Is
reaping the reward of his loyalty.
Newspaper stories are sometimes over
complimentary, but hardly too much
can be said of McClelland's ability.
Few business enterprises In this city
are In better condition then the High
Company. Their October business was
the largest month they have ever had.
amounting to nearly one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars. They
own their own building—the business
Is wortb from 1400.000 to 1500,000
and Is today one of the best adver
Used houses In all the South.
The advertising of the company has
been In the hands of Mr. W. H. Brlltian
for many years. Brittlan has been sec
rotary of the company for a number
of years, and now Is second In com
mend as secretary and assistant man
ager. He came here from Covington,
Newton county, years ago, and has
been with the High Company slurs
ISOS. Now, at the age of >6 years, he
finds himself next to the head of one
of the largest nnd best houses In the
Bouth. He deserves It, though, for he
le one of the clean, trustworthy kind
who has a home happy with little opes,
and Is a man whose heart Is In touch
with the world and Its cares.
Possibly career* Itkp those of Mr.
High, Mr. McClelland and Mr. Brittlan
often pass on without the knowledge
of the world at large, but we cannot
help but atop and think and renew our
belief In the eternal beneficence of
things when we see the mantle of hard-
earned success shifted to the shoulder*
of quiet, hard-working men, who have
gone through the winding path with
their leader and, by their loyalty and
true worth, have been entrusted with
the fortunes and the all of the widow
and children, and that at almost the
dying request of Mr. High himself.
Sit steady, boys, and may you ever
succeed!
