OUR PLATFORM.-The Georgia
tands for Atlanta s owning Its own gas
and electric light plants, as It
ewn* Its waterworks. Other cities do
this and get gas as low ss 60 cents,
with n profit to the city. This should
be done at once. The Georgian to*
lleves that If street railways can lie
operated successfully by B u r o p e a it
cities, as they are. there Is no good
reason why they cannot tie so operated
S re. But we do not bellovo this can
done now. and it may tie some years
ore we are ready for so lit* an un
dertaking. Still Atlanta should set Its
face In that direction NOW.
"White Blood.”
Whom that la Baptist doe* not Know
Dr. Henry M. Wharton?
And whom, for that matter, Baptist
or no Baptlat, doea not know and love
thte large and vital evangelist, this
wholesome and effective preacher, this
philosopher of eventa and this strong.
«hnlesomo Southern personality
which has for so long a time done
its great and effective work la the
Southern church?
Dr. Wharton's latest achievement
In the world of letters Is ’ a strong
and Interesting novel which, under
the title of “White Rlood." Is a story
of the South which establishes In Its
strong and earnest pages the suprem'
acy of white blood and the unconquer
able future of the Saxon rgee.
Few'men have been better situated
than Dr. Wharton to know and to
atudy the negro. Whether as a laiy
niton his own Virginia plantation, as
a soldier In the Confederate armies,
as bearing a part In tho struggle of
the heroic reconstruction, or as a phil
osopher In this later day, and above
nil things a preacher both to while
and to negro people In the South, Dr.
Wharton has had at least the rare
equipment of experience for his work.
“White Blood" Is not so fiery and
passionate a novel as "The Clans-
man." but It will doubtless make
much larger and more wbolesonie Itu-
pr< sslon upon the people outside of
< he South tn a strong, brave and hon
est way. it wraps around vivid In
cidents and tender love Story the
gr. at truth which tno author desires
to Impress, that In this Southern
country both the Interest of the white
man and the Interest of the negro
Jointly demand that the Caucasian
-hall rub- and direct the civilisation
upon which the prosperity of both
depends. Dr. Wharton has told his
-tory vividly, and in many canes pow
erfully, and we feel sure that his
ibnusands of friends iu Dixie will lie
-li lighted to read this creation of his
fancy upon the fabric of his experi
ence and philosophy.
POPULAR JURIES JUDGING RAILROADS.
The progress of the suits In the isw-lf last summer’s picnic part
against the Central and Atlanta and West Point railroads would not
Indicate the existence of any particular prejudice against the railroads on
the part of that iiortlon of the public which makes up the petit juries of
the country.
Up to Monday noon, out of suits aggregating claims of 1135,000, the
judgments given and verdicts rendered only made an aggregate of about
$3,000 against the roads. Surely no man who reads these verdicts rendered
by jurors Uvins within the environment of the parties killed and Injured
will derive the impression that the railroad could not get justice or that
there was an unfair spirit toward the corporation In the dispensation of
equity by the people and the law.
The fact Is that there Is no prejudice against the railroad except that
which the railroad makes. In sections of the country through which these
great transportation Hues pass, the people In their attitude toward the rail
roads reflect roost accurately and promptly the. exact attitude of the rail
roads toward them.
If the railroad Is kind, accommodating, and helpful to the people
of the community through which It passes; If it Is noU disagreeable In the
matter of side tracks and depots and' the stopping of trains upon serious
emergencies—If It Is not arrogant and dictatorial In Us attitude toward the
traveling public; . If It Is not unfair and extortionate In the rates of freight-
why the people who live along those lines entertain for the corporations a
feeling as friendly as that which they carry for each other They are al
ways willing to oblige the railroads; they are always willing to do them
justice. They have loBt long since the class distinction which made any
countryman ready to render a verdict against the railroad because ho
thought the railroad had the most money or the largest purse.
That class of countrymen no longer live, at least In this good state of
Georgia. They are a reading, thinking, and a prosperous people. And they
are fair and honorable, and they can weigh law, evidence and equity In a
case against the railroad just as well as they could a case against one of
their own number. /
1-eftvo I he people's minds unclouded by Injustice and unlrrltated by arro
gance and oppression and the people are amiable and always fair. We know
railroad presidents In this state who are as popular with the country peo
ple through whom they travel as any one of their fellow cltlxens In the
several counties. And we know railroad presldenta whose manners and
whose methods are so arrogant that It does Indeed become a serious trial
to a rcd-hloodod human being to be fair and kind to such men or to tho
Interests which they represent. ^
Neither In railroads nor In Individual relations doss tho Golden Rule
fall to do its lieautlful and perfect work. "Do unto others as you would
Ibat others should do unto you,” applies as well to a railroad president as
to a Sunday school superintendent, and tho kind words which never die
when joined to kind deedB that shall alwayR live, make up tho best and
most statesmanlike policy which a corporation president can put Into exe
cution among a people who are Inherently fair and just and kind.
Wo trust that no unfair or unrighteous verdict may be rendered against
the cor|ioration In these Important eases. We trust that no man who sweara
upon the Hook will forgot in the jury box his obligation to deal without
prejudice and without discrimination. And we commend both to corpora
tion and to counties, to plutocratic syndicates and to a pulsing people, that
kindness and fairness and justice are the foundation stones of righteous
ness and^he solid bulwark of a permanent prosperity.
A large lot of elementary slush has
been sent from New York to Atlanta
.elating to the Hearst camiiaign and
Ita results. Part of this Is truckling,
and part sheer Ignorance. This much

paign. It was fought upon a great
platform of simple, vital princlfdcs. It
was fought bravely, clearly and pow
erfully. Such principles never die. nor
do such advocates go down to burial
until their work Is done. Hearst will
live and his principles will triumph.

likely to get Its ortbeoplcal legs en

WHERE DOES DEMOCRACY STAND?
After the storm of the ballots In the Umpire State of the North,
Democracy may well begin to detorroine where It stands, wlial It stands
for, and who stands with It.
Certain It Is, that never In our political history have party ties set
so lightly upon the political consciences of suffragists in the republic.
It Is In truth and In fact tho most fearless and most lndepondent age of
thinking that our politics have ever known.
Hearst and Hughes In New York held off from the hustings on which
they harassed their issues, all suggestions of national politics or of strict
party alignment Tho greatest state In the Union in the greatest contest
lu Its history fought out the battle upon lines of policy and conviction
rather than uiion lines of partisanship nnd party conviction. Fifty per
cent of the men who voted for Hearst In the last election were Republicans.
Forty per cent of the men who voted for Hughes In the last election were
Democrats, and these men voted not along traditional lines of party nor by
edict of caucuses or convention, hut rather by tho strict lines of convic
tion In the disposition of their ballots. It was an epochal election In the
history of tho republic.
Let us consider the conditions as they appeared iu New York and after
ward as they look In other portions of the republic. Mr. Hearst waa tho
candidate of, tjie regular Democratic state convention at Buffalo. Ho
received nearly two-thirds If not three-fourths of the vote of that conven
tion. When he went before the public of New York for votes, the Demo
cratic mayor of New York was .against him The Democratic leader of
Brooklyn. In Kings county, was against him. Every corporate Democrat
In the city and state was against him. nnd he fought against an array of
Democrats almost as large and almost as Influential aa the Republicans who
opposed him. Nut a Democratic senator of the United Slates declared In his
favor. Scarcely a handful nt tho Democratic congressmen of the federal
congress were <m his side of tho question. And this largest and best and
bravest nnd most consistent of modem Democrats fought the bravest battle
of modern times along tho clearest principles of Democracy that have been
presented to an electorate for thirty years, with a party divided absolutely
In half and with hts support dependent as much on the Republicans as tho
Democrats of tha Umpire State.
So with his successful antagonist. True it is that the Republican pres
ident and bis cabinet were in favor of Mr. Hughes. True It Is the
senators and congressmen of his own party were on his side. Rut SO per
cent of the Lincoln Republicans of New York ranked themselves under the
banner of the popular advocate who had been chosen at the Buffalo con
vention. Result; Hughes, the Republican, Is elected governor. Chanler,
tho Democrat, is elected lieutenant governor. The entire Democratic ticket
outside of governor goes Into office.'
Take the case of William Jennings Bryan. He comes home from Europe
In the thrilling triumph of n great commoner—the idol and leader of his
party. Every state of the republic pnlses its welcomo to the wanderer
from a foreign shore and the great man is received tn Madison Square
by Democrats, from Nebraska, New England, and New York, from Nevada,
from California and from Connecticut, from Carolina and from Maine. And
yet when he pronounces his views upon public questions nearly every lead
ing Democrat of tho couatry rushes Into opposing type against him. The
leaders of the Democratic minority In congress rush to the other side. Two-
thirds of the men of bis party who have ruled Its affairs for a dozen
years are at this time crusading against his central doctrine. Bryan, of
Nebraska, has broached sentiments which seem to be in opposition to al
most tour-fifths of the leading voices who have made the policies and the
platforms of his party for a quarter of a century.
Where, tbon, stands our Democracy in the midst of these differences and
contentions? What are the things In which we consistently and coher
ently believe? What are the things which we support, and where stands the
majority of a ouce groat party In tho midst of t be queetlona which divide us
so widely and split us so hopeloasly as these issues of today?
Cau any man escape tfie couvlctlon that the Democratic imrty Is wider
split today In Its varying factious than the division which sundere the party
of Jefferson and the party of Hamilton?' We are united only In tradition
and absolutely divided In conviction and In economic policies. There has
grown up In the republic a great mass of corporate Democrats Wealth
and vested Interests and Individual Investments have Influenced their
feeling and tbelr convictions until they are today no longer houeat and un
broken advocates of the party of Jefferson and Jackson. They are loath be
yond expression to leave the party of their fathers—the organisation for
which tbelr ancestors fought on many a political field, and won and lost in
many a battle of conviction. They are simply bugging the shallow from
which the substance Is gone. These men In the high and imperial domina
tion of the pocket book have step by step drifted Into sympathy and af
filiation with tho moneyed Interests of the country. They stand, whether
they know It or not. among the privileged few. They are, whether they
confess It or not. members of the party of the privileged rich. Their Inter
ests depend upou special privileges to the few rather than upon equal rights
to all; and hanging by the mere hopeless thread of history and tradition
they are wternaL'y and seemingly loyal to a party to which they are In fact
traitors In e<«ry hcuost conviction and In every political pulse of their
business and professional lives.
Upon the other hand, there arc thousands of Republtcana who have fol
low,.,] In ilu- wake of the war upon the fortunes of tho Republican party.
Upon tho bosom of sectionalism and of military strife they have held f«st
to the party that freed the Slav s and saved the government. Twenty-seven
years have held them fast to this old party, which simply prospered upon
sectionalism and strife. Hut these men who -were born of the faith and of j:
the creeds of Abraham Lincoln, are at heart believers In that new and defi- • •
nite policy which looks to the Interests of the great mass of the peopto :
ratlier than to the prosiierity of the few. Lincoln Republicans almost to i
man today are Democrats In ereed and In principle. Here, then, wo hav,
the absolute anomaly of two great parties bolding In their ranks upon the
mere basis of sentiment and tradition, loyal meu who are apostates and
traitors to the creeds which they profess. - They do not believe the things
their fathers believed, and are not loyal to the party for which their fa-
there fought. _
How shall we separate them from that body and set them straight in
the lines of their true convictions? We cannot prosper aa a party under
the handicap which the convictions and Interests of theme sincere but in
consistent men entail upon the platforms and policies of our party. We
cannot, as a party, be half fish and half fowl, a trimming, straddling organ
ization, splitting our legs tn twain in the effort to cover the Impossible
range of interest and creed covered by the unaaslmllable elements of the
party. Can Belmont and Bryan ever,really agreo upon a platform? Can
Hearst and Ryan fight cheerfully under the same banner? Year by year we
are throttled as Democrats In the virile life and utterances of a party of the
people, by the restraining power and Influence of • these corporation Dem
ocrats who still cling to the name of our party. That waa tho meaning
of the Parker tiaaco ot 1901. Tho Idea ot hoping to lead a people's
party under a trust favorite to victory! It cannot be done, and every po-
lltlcal straddle, every spurious makeshift of the tlext two decades will be
rejected by oar honest peoplo at the polls.
We need not go throdgh the form of an election unless we can g<J be
fore the people upon a straight, clean platform of definite and clear-cut
Democracy—a Democracy without the alloy of syndicates or the smell of
tho trusts.
Once more we say without hesitation that the honest thing for these
selfish corporation Democrats to do Is to go right along with the Repub
lican party to which they belong. We want them to go.' We need their
room more than their company, wo can never win while wo share power
with these men. We can win without them. Let the Ryans and the Bel
monts and the McCarrens go right along.
And when they are gone, we' will make room on the benches for a great
host of Lincoln Republicans who will pack the benches, and with a better
and more genuine Democracy than we have known in twenty years, we will
go befot-e the country Iu a straight and simple platform and sweep the ballot
boxes from Penobscot to Pensacola.

THE “OLD SOUTH"CHURCH.
By the time of the death of .Charles
It, saya John Klske, It was reckoned
that four-fifths ot the adult males In
Massachusetts were disfranchised be
cause of Inability to participate In the
Lord's Supper.
It a Pharisee of the time when Pharl.
salsm was In the bloom of Its blgotrj
and. unreason could have been set down
In the Boston of the year A. D. 1660
he would probably have felt the the
ocracy of old Jerusalem was a tame
affair in comparison with that of the
New England town.
The Wlnthrops. Cottons nnd Daven
ports had everything their own way.
and those who were not willing to bow
down to them ns the representatives ot
God on earth had no political rights or
social standing.
Many of the disfranchised, tired of
being nobodles. struck out through the
wilderness and founded other states.
Some went to Rhode Island, others to
Connecticut and elsewhere, but others
still remained at home, bldhig their
time, waiting for the opportunity when
they might be ablo to win, upon the
■oil of tho old commonwealth, the
rights which belonged to them. Some-
tvhore around the year 1660 a com
promise was reached between the "Ins"
and tho "Outs," by which the latter, or
such of them ns had been baptized and
that led "upright and decorous lives,”
were admitted to the church and to full
political rights, though not to a first,
class religious mending.
Such was tho so-called "Halfway
Covenant," one of the most Illogical
and Inconsistent conventions ever
drawn up.
As might havo been expected, tho
'Halfwny Covenant'- led to tho bitterest
controversy between, the ministers and
congregations, some taking one side
and some the other.
It was about the year 1669, nnd
the First Church of Boston was looking
for a minister. Tho members let it
be understood that they wero solidly
opposed to the “Halway Covenant,"
and as a mark of tho stalwart charac
ter of their religion called to the pas
torate nt the church the Rev. John Da
venport. of New Haven, a "theocrat of
extreme type.”
The calling of Mr. Davenport was the
beginning of organized liberalism in
Massachusetts. The advocates of tho
"Halfway Covenant" seceded from the
First church anil formed themselves
intot a society which they called the
“Third Church In Boston." Their meet.
lug houae became knotvn aa the "South
Church." from the part of the city In
which It wns located. Later on an
other church in the neighborhood took
the name of the "Now South," where
upon the church of the seceders began
to be culled the "old South."
In 1729, upon the site ot the old
meeting house erected In 1669, was
lea red tho present celebrated struc
ture, "a building,” as Klske well re
marks," with a grander history than
any other on the American continent,
unless It bo that other plain brick
building In Philadelphia where the
Declaration of Independence was
adopted and tho Federal constitution
framed."
The Hon. Ronald C. Lindsay, of the

Rivalry of the women of the "850"
In the wearing of gorgeous evening
wraps has gone so far that inch new
"creation" seems tn literally outshine
all former triumphs of the dressmak
ers.
Mrs. aeorge Gould scorns for the mo
ment to hold the prise. She appeared
the other evening wearing a wrap of
finest white cloth, hung In curious ar
tistically draped folds, somefvhnt Gre
cian In effect. The enormous sleeves
were of clilffun, cut nil In one piece,
but cleverly manipulated to-produce the
semblance of a trio of puffs. The yoke
was of duchesse luce, which also
formed an underfneing down In the
sj.l. . Ih.. ermine lining showTiig"my
when the wrap waa thrown buck it
was finished with curiously twists,i

Views of divorce which an English
clergyman has just expressed have
drawn high encomiums from sundry til
vorced women In town who have grown
reticent about their ages and have
given up having birthday parties
“We ought to have the divorce law
that was enforced in ancient Greece ’
the preacher said. “If a certain old
Greek clause were tacked to every
separation I am persuaded that <11.
vorces will fall off 60 to 70 per cent
This law was that when a man got a
divorce he could not. under any cir
cumstances, marry another woman
younger than his former wife. How
many divorces would be nipped In the
bud then?”
