OUR PLATFORM.-The Georgian stands for Atlanta's owning Its own gas and electric light plants, as It now owns Its waterworks. Other cities do this nnd get gas as tow ns 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should I* done at once. The Georgian be lieves that If street railways can he Hia view is bound to have considera ble weight. And, of course, there la the tariff. Somebody tell* the atory of the fu neral of an estimable gentleman in a country town. Tne ritual had been brief, and the minister hhd called upon several of the prominent men present to pay a word or two of respect to the departed. Four or five spoke, and then there was a pause. It was broken by Ell Stubbs, who began: “Well, if not as highly trained as they should be. rltles. as they are, thero Is no good E soa why they cannot he so operated a. But we do not l»elleve this esn done now, and It may be some years before we are rendy for so Ida an un dertaking. Still Atlanta should set Its face In that direction NOW. Croker Butts In. That eminent expatriate and ex patriot, the Hon. Richard Croker,’haa felt called upon to dlscuee the defeat of Mr. Hearst In the recent New York •lection. "God Almighty caused It," he says. “His defeat la a Judgment of heav en,” he adds. The Squire of Wantage la butting Into things that don't concern him. Since he went into exile, America, the city of New York and even Tammany Hall have managed to worry along somehow, and It may be said that all are a little bit better off for bla ab sence. The Squire of Wantage had better keep quiet Rut when, In the name of all that Is holy, did Dick Croker become the mouthpiece of High Hearen? What Faces Gongreu Those very sapient newspaper men who chronicle the doings, undoings and not-doinga of onr. statesmen at Washington are unanimous In predict' Ing that the closing session of the Fifty-ninth congress, which assembles . In just two weeks, will be as bum- i mlngly busy as a hive of bees. This session, which begins Decem ber 3, and expires by law on the 4th of next March, will have all of the "hurried legislation" of the usual abort term and further will be mark ed by tbe efforts of the Republican party to put through a bunch of meas ures which tbe administration holds very dear. The Sixtieth congress will not be quite so strongly Republican In force of numbers, and the party la go ing to yank time by the forelock while the majority Is so effectively great. Many measures of Import aro to be debated and acted on. There la much “left over" business to be disposed of, and there Is no reckoning as to how many Interesting things the president will develop In his message. Of the Issues that were not settled at the last session, and which are certain to come up, the moat Impor tant to the country at large is tbe question of further restriction of Im migration. When congress adjourned last June this matter was left In the hands of a conference. The Dilling ham bill had been passed by the sen ate. The house, however, passed an Immigration bill, which differed wide ly from that of tbe senate. Then the matter went to conference, the report being deferred till the coming session because of the general belief that the question ' was too Important to be rushed through In the hurly-burly of these closing days. This Immigration question Is one that baa aroused federated labor in America. The union leaders demand more rigorous restriction cf the In flux of foreigners. As the means to the end. they favor an increase In tbe bead tax and the Imposition of an educational qualification In order fur ther to restrict immigration. On the other hand those members of con gress, who feel tbe Increasing serious ness of the question of Securing labor that is confronting nil classes lu America from farmer to capitalist, are Inclined to oppose any further restric tion. A compromise will doubtless result. There are two significant facia to be considered, however. First, the elections are over and the politics tangent to tbe question can be ignored. And then, Oscar S. Straus, who Is lo enter the president's cabinet as secretary of commerce and labor, baa expressed himself as regarding an ed ucational qualification as ill-advised. nobody else has anything to say would like to make a few points about the tariff." That Is the way with congress, and a word or two on the tariff will doubt less be spoken. One of the measnrea that may be put through Is the ship subsidy bill which got past the senate last spring aud Is now before the house commit tee on merchant marine and fisheries. Representative Grosvenor, who cently failed of renomination and who la therefore serving his last session In congress for a time, says he la going to exert every effort to get thla legis lation enacted. Not unnaturally, tbe Democrats are opposed to this meas ure, which Is looked upon as another Republican steal In the ahape it pro tection for an Infant Industry which is really not quite as weak or Infantile as those drawing dividends from it would have the people believe. Speak er Cannon Is believed to be little In sympathy with the proposed legisla tion, ir not actually hostile to It. 'Two minor measures which, how ever, are of general Interest, are Sen ator IgiFolletto's bill limiting tbe working hours of railway employees and Senator • Foraker’s bill to make Porto Ricans citizens of tbe United States. Another which will affect the entire country, If It ever becomes effective, is the election reform measure. As a matter of fact, thla la In the ahape of two bills, one providing for public ity In campaign affairs, the other pro hibiting corporation contributions for campaign purposes. Neither bill got anywhere last session, owing to the fact that the Republicans feared the effect they might have In the elections^ t, of this fall. It Is hardly expected that either will pass this session. It strikes too heavy a blow at the party In pow- 1,1 ko Tennyson’s Rrook, the Reed Smoot caae runs on forever, and may be expected to consume a good deal of the time of the statesmen this win ter. Taken altogether, the measures Im pending seem to promise an unuaually busy session. , ^^uca * "Salome” on the Stage. Tbe other night there was produced In New York "Salome,” a little read and leas acted ptay by that brilliant effete of literature. Oscar Wilde. A Mlsa Mercedes Leigh had the temerity to ptay Salome, and the Progressive Stage Society stood sponsor for the production, which has been proscribed by the British censor, but which Is quite popular on the continent, where Ita offensiveness lo religion and mor als does not count. As to the merlta or demerit* of the play. It Is not our purpose to speak, aside from paying It Inevitable praise for Its marvelous Oriental Imagery. Hut, according to The New York Bun's report of the Drat night of the play, there came from the audience the moat Incisive and most sane criti cism possible. The scone was that where the To- trarch, Herod, was trying to Induce Salome to dance before him. She de clined. Ho offered her wine. She re plied she was not thirsty. He offered her fruit. She said she was not hun gry. Then canto the small clear voice from iho pit, "Try her on a cigarette." And the laughter almost broke up the show. Tlio owner of that voice deserves lo be apotbeoslied by the Association of Dramatic Critics. For ridicule la the only disinfectant agalnat such de generate literary and dramatic stuff as "Salome.” The hlgh-brows lake It a little too seriously, and those puritanical ones who storin against It only servo to attract attention to It. Andrew D. White. Yale '63, who rep resented the United 8tates as ambas sador In Germany for many, J'ears, started the movement. On returning to New Haven to celebrate hi* fiftieth anniversary he criticised the diplomat Ic service of this country and express ed the hope that the time would come when the United States would train ita diplomats so that It would hesitate as much to send an unlettered, un trained man to represent tbe govern ment at some foreign post as It would to send a butcher to represent Ameri can surgery at an International gath ering of physicians. Saturday Might Club. Among' the Institutions of Atlanta that are quietly working on, none Is more Interesting or deserving of cor dial sympathy and support than the Saturday Night Club. It Is a literary and debating club, which has been stesdlly. performing Its function for 'fifteen years. There Is nothing of the sophomorlc or tbe pose about It. The members have been meeting and discussing themes In thoughtful, earnest and Intelligent manner, seeking common Improve ment. In It have been trained some of Atlanta's brainiest and most force ful speakers. Right now the club needs more members. Those who are at the head of It believe that the addition of new blood will have the effect of Increas ing Its work for good, and they Invite serious young men of Atlanta to join them. The club meets at the Carnegie Library every Batnrday night Marie Gets Wise. Be aware, be very much aware, and wary!” Mbrle Corelli Is tipping off Great nrltaln to be on guard against Amer ica. “The Idea," she says In her pronun- clatnento, “that America loves the dear old country Is a sentimental fal lacy. Her affectloA la merely that of the wolf In the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood.’ Her friendly smile shows teeth that are all the better to eat you up with, my dear. As a mat ter of fact America envies Great Brit- lan with the envy of a half grown, half educated daughter jealous of her beautiful, ever young and ever admir ed mothor. There Is no love In the case. It is a matter of sharp; often un scrupulous, business." Yes. Marie, America Is envious and Jealous of dear old England, but sole ly, Marie, because dear old England has you as her most precious Jewel. Come to us, Marie, and Great Brit ain may rest in peace. FROM A LIFE-LONG ANTI-8ALOONI8T, A School for Diplomacy. Yale aud Columbia Universities have decided to combine tbelr re sources of curriculum aud form the flrit school for diplomats. The ex periment will be begun In the fall.# According to those who have" com piled the curriculum of the course, the system Is designed to prepare stu dents for work In foreign countries, either In the service of the United States government. In business enter prises or as missionaries or scientific investigators. The completion of the courses offered, which will normally occupy three years In the case of can didates for the consular service and two years for those getting ready to go into special fields, will entitle the students to n certificate signed by the presidents of Yale and Columbia. It Is not to be assumed that Pres idents Hadley und Butler think they will thereby turn out perfect and high ly polished diplomats. They are merely seeking lo provide for tboee contemplating a consular career a course of academic training, some thing that has hitherto been wholly lacking in the universities of the country. The experiment is the result of tbe efforts of Yale alumni, who believe that the diplomats sent to foreign countries by the United States are To tile Hillter of The Georffau: As s lifelong antl-llquc mss, 1 thank you for the stand yuti taka In your edi torial, "Shall We Have a Prohibition Fight!"

W. M. 8C0TT. HEAL! TO RESIGN: TO NEW POSITION Prominent, Railroad and Club Man to Leave for Cincinnati. Effective January J, F. A. Healy, auditor of the W'eat Point route and secretary and treasurer of the Trans portation Club, will sever his connec tion with the Atlanta and West Point to accept the position of secretary and treasurer of the Ohio syndicate of In lerurban traction companies. Mr Healy will make 'a trip to Cincinnati In connection with his new duties next The syndicate with which Mr. Healy has associated himself controls about 600 miles of the best operated and equipped electric traction line In the country. He will be In full charge of the financing and accounting depart ments. Mr. Healy has been auditor of the Atlanta and West Point since 1899. He has been prominently identified In railroad affairs and associations. * He was very active In Atlanta so cially and his absence will be the source of much regret to the society people of thla city. He was president and organiser of the Piedmont Athletic Club. He Is a prominent Mason and also a member of other well-known fraternal and social organisations, was the first and .only secretary of the Transportation Club, being etocted for the fifth consecutive time November 6. last. The success of this organisation Is due In a great measure to the efforts of Mr. Healy. JUSTICE EVANS ABLE TO RETURN TO OFFICE Thrown from his horse Sunday aft ernoon, Associate Justice Beverly D. Evans, of the supreme court, sustained broken bone of the left wrist and severe bruises about the body. Sunday' afternoon Justice Evans started for a horseback ride. As he rode from his stable yard Into Third street his mount slipped on the wet asphalt. It came so unexpectedly that the rider could not extrlcato himself and he was thrown to the pavement with great force. Pasaers-by ran to his assistance and he was removed to his home, at 110 West Peachtree, where Dr. Hull set the broken arm. Though still suffering from shock and the pain of the broken wrist Justice Evans went to his office at the capitol Monday morning to re sume the work of conferring with his associates jn deciding cases. FIFTH DISTRICT FARMERS’ UNION HAS ORGANIZED VANDERBILT 8UIT8 SETTLED OUT OF COURT Hpeclal to The Georgian. Asheville, N. C., Nov. 19.—The last uf the canes against George W. Van derbilt, on the docket of the United States circuit court, was disposed of Saturday. The case was compromised out of court. The plaintiff, R. S. Clark, entered suit against Mr. Vanderbilt for dam ages In' the sum of 815,000, alleging that In 1898, he had been crippled by a vicious horse, the property of the de fendant. This case, and three other damage suits brought by the heirs of two men who were drowned In the French Broad river while crossing In a flatboat belonging to Mr. Vanderbilt, and al leged to have been unsafe, and that of a -man whose arm was tom off by a corn shurker on the Ulltmore estate, were some time ngo removed to the United States court, and created much comment nt the time. The three were I compromised. The amount of damages agreed on In the nark ease has not been made public, but It Is understood that the other three caHee were all settled for a sum much less than the 875,000 de manded. At a second meeting of the trustees to be held on December S the location of the Fifth district agricultural school will be decided upon. An Inltlnl meeting of the trustees was held Saturday morning In Gov ernor Terrell's private office with all the trustees except the Douglas county member present.' Organisation was perfected by the election of Senator durphey Candler, of Decatur, as chair man and G. K. Hunnlcutt hi secretary. Sealed bids were on band from New ton nnd Rockdale, but as Walton and possibly other counties had given no tice that bids would be submitted later. It was determined to postpone action to December 6 In order to give all the counties an opportunity. None of the bids on hand, therefore, were opened. STOP OF WA TER WORKS SHUT OFF ORGAN MUSIC; INTERRUPTED ANTHEMS It was too bad. , At least everybody In the congre gations said so, though one of the con traltos remarked to the basso that It didn't really make the soprano's sing ing any more ridiculous than usual. But then you know the jealousies In the choir— It all happened at 11:15 o'clock Sun day morning—In several of the churches. In a Peachtree church the soprano had Just reached her top note In the anthem and the organ was rumbling out Its rich accompaniment. “I am a pll—" Then the swelling rumble of the organ ceased suddenly and a noise like a coyote across the plains oozed from the pipes. The so prano broke down. Her expression showed first amazement, then a strong suspicion that the organist had joined the other faction. She retired behind the curtain. Out on Washington street the basso was reaching nway down In his chest notes. "I am falling, falling, fall—" Then the music gave out and he fell cleat- through. He never got his head above water again. "We will proceed with the rest the service," was the announcement from the pulpit. And there was more music. And It all happened because the city shut off the water for a little while ' make some repairs. All the church organs'are operated by water motors, with the assistance of an organist, und when the water was turned off- why -explain further? But If Park Woodward hadn't left the city he wouldn't have let It hap pen. Maybe he’ll be back by next Sunday. ! GOSSIP!

WET TRACKS CAUSED PECULIAR COLLISION AND ENGINE CHAS Wet tracks' and a slippery slide caused a amatl-alzed collision on the Atlanta and West Point about 7:80 o'clock Monday morning and gave an engineer a lively chase for his engine, but nobody was hurt A loose engine was rolling up the track at Park and Peters streets when track at Park and Peters streets when the englnser discovered a mall and a baggage car with an engine attached backing toward him on the same track. He reversed nnd jumped for his life. But the slippery tracks played a share In the game and the engine slid on, crashing Into the car ahead and demolishing the platform. There was a rattle of broken glass and then the loose engine recovered Itself. The re verse was working now and the loco motive started backward without guiding band. The engineer had picked himself up by this time and he took In the situa tion as he arose.

Green Debating Society of Piedmont College held their ninth anniversary exerelses in Butler hall Friday night. Professor J. H. Fiord was the presid ing officer. The welcome address was delivered by Charles Fieahman. Declamation. "Popular Education"— Charles Swindell, oration, “Labor"—H. B. Blackshear. President's address, "The College Man In Public Life”—J. Hubert F’ord. Miss Slater captivated the audience with her singing, each number being encored. Hon. Thomas F\ Green, of Athens, delivered the anniversary- address. Th* summer of 1780 found the pa triot cause at Its ' low-water mark. North and South disaster had befallen the Continental forces, and It began to xok ae though the struggle of the colonies for their liberty was to be In vain. All but the bravest spirits were about ready to give up, and even the Washingtons, Greenes and Marions looked ahead with heavy hearts and trembling hopes. But presently the tide began to turn, and the hearts that were heavy bound ed for Joy and the hopes that wavered became strong In the confidence of vic tory. Operating at the time down In East Tennessee and southwestern North Carolina was one John Sevier, a man whose name should be passing dear to every cltlsen of this great and glorious nation, for It yvas Sevier's energy, pa triotism and courage that saved the day and mnde possible the liberty of his countrymen. When the gloom was the thickest Sevier wns recruiting around Knox ville, trying to raise and equip a force with which he hoped to do something for the raus* that yvas so dear to his heart. His fund* were low; In fact, were quite exhausted. His private had already freely given to the govern ment, nnd now he wns going about begging others to give, pleading with them to part with n portion of their substance In order that liberty might not perish from the land. Those who were able to glve*dtd so, but the rank and file of the people were poor and unable to contribute, and the prospects were gloomy. In his desperation Sevier thought of a way In which he might get the de sired funds. John Adair was tax col lector of the district, and to John Adair Sevier went In hot haste. To the tax collector Sevlar said "Let the have what money you have In your possession. 1 must buy horses and arms for my soldiers. We must win a victory soon or It Is all over with us. Give me the money, nnd If I live I will pay every dollar of It back, with Interest." Adair answered: "Colonel Sevier, have no right to make any such dls position of this money. It belongs to the Impoverished treasury of North Carolina. But If the country Is over- run by the British, liberty Is gone. Let the money go, too. Take It. If by Ita use the enemy Id driven from the coun try 1 can trust the country to Justify and vindicate my conduct. Take It.” Sevier took It, and the result v King's Mountain—the battle that led to the retreat of Lord Cornwallis, that led to the surrender at Yurktown and the establishment of the Independence of the United States. Years afterward among some Sevier's papers that had been picked up In the attic of a deserted house In Knoxville was found the following re ceipt from the treasurer of North Carolina: Rec'd Jnn’y 81st, 1782, of Sir. John Adair, entry taker In the County of Sullivan, twelve thousand seven hun dred and thirty-five dollars, which Is placed to his credit on the treasury books. "Per Robert Lanier, Treas.

TRAVELING COUPLE TRAVEL TOGETHER Saturday afternoon just as Justice Bloodworth was winding up a busy day's work a young couple entered the court room and announced that they wanted to get married. That's part of Justice Bloodworth'a business, so he announced ready ae soon as the license was produced. The young lady was Miss Mutllda Clyde French and the young man Er. nest Jackson Chisholm. Later It de. veloped that the bride Is the daughter of Dr. Junius B. French, pastor of the Broadway Presbyterian church, of F'ort Worth, Texas. The young couple met lit F’ort Worth. Mr. Chisholm Is a traveling salesman, with headquarters In Athens. The young woman 'stated that she haili started out to make her own way in the world, and had been here about two weeks. The couple met and de cided to get married. They denied that It was a runaway affair, but it looked very much like one. WRITES A NOVEL William Conrad Wintar. Kpcrial to The Georgian. Brunswick.

Now, the dangers of prosperity ought to appeat to the heart oflyoung J o Rockefeller as a text. Taking up the story of David, Mr. RocHefeller dis cussed the story of tbe psalmist nn.1 Uriah, the Hlttite, whom David caused to be murdered that he might obtain his wife. "David's new prosperity.” he said “was probably one of the causes. Any man can keep a level head when he Is struggling along, but It takes a strong man to’ stand prosperity. Rejoice that you are gaining strength in your strug. gles. Beware of prosperity and thank God that you have a struggle before you. "Perhaps another cause which led up to the crime committed by David was the Idleness* which followed when he ceased to go to the wars and left the work to his captains. Self-Indulgence was perhaps another cause.” Senator Uhauncey Depew has re turned to his New York home. He is writing n book of reminiscences, chief, ly for his son. he says, but it may be published. The senator says he has entirely re covered from hts nervous prostration. Members of the Automobile Club of America are looking forward to some announcement at the annual meeting this evening regarding the removal cf the club to Its new home In West F’lfty- fourth street, near Eighth avenue.
