Still Atlanta aliould set Its face In tbit direction NOW. Thankigiving Day. Iu tin* perhaps natural evolution of things, the character of Thanksgiving Day has undergone a marked change. Once an occasion conaccratcd solely to public congregational expression of gratitude for Divine mercy. It is In these recent years become. In its visi ble forms, a day of feasting, football and frolic. The churches still hold services In every city of the country, but there Is no longer the once gen eral participation In the religious meetings. This docs not. as some would Imvo It, argue that Thanksgiving Day has lost the character of expression of gratitude Indicated by Ita. name; It merely menus, as we lake It, that there has been a change In the nnture of thla expression. The ritual matters little, when the heart speaks for Itself. Aud The Georgian believes that on this day of grace in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and six there will go up from the heart of every man and woman In Atlanta an expres sion of thanks—unuttered by tongue, It may lie—to IJlrn .who has conferred on ill unworthy those many blessings. Getting Your Nickel’* Worth. When you pay a nickel to the street car conductor, are you purchasing the right to a aeat from the time of your entrance In the car till you reach ■your destination, or are you merely purcbaalng what the railroads term, on their-tickets, s continuous passage? The quest km is prompted by (he aCtlop of the North Cnpltol and Kck- Ingtqh ClUiens' Association, of Wash ington, in deciding to nsk congress to paas'a law to compel street railway companies to provide teats for all the passengers or to carry persons free when It it necessary for them to stand la the aisle or on the platforms, or sling ’to the bumper or swing onto the trolley. , The suburbanites making up tbe N. C. t E. ('. Association arc the long lane that has a turning or the worm that turns, they haven't quite decided which. However, they have turned. Home of them who have to patron ize atreet car corporations morning and night haven't had a seat for years, and, as for the future, they know the day of miracles has passed. Accordingly, they have inn in pro test and decided to imltion congress. Just about one-half of the patrons: of the Atlanta street cars feel pretty] much like the Washingtonians about] It. but they haven't taken nctlou. What's the use? Instead or Increasing the number of cars, the heartless, soulless corinra- tlons would merely order the motor- men to stop for oohody when they had BUed their cars, and some or us who were In a hurry would have to hike afoot. THE DASHING POLITICS OP OKLAHOMA. I Editorial Correspondence by John Teroplac Graves.) The magnificent majority by which the Democratic party swept the new state of Oklahoma In Ita first election for a constitutional conven tion has astonished the republic.- To toll the truth It was no less a surprise to the Democrats of the ' two territories who had never fairly tested their strength of numbers In a battle of the ballots before. It has been conceded for some 'years that Indian Territory was fairly and normally Democratic. It has been just as freely agreed that Oklahoma was doubtful between the two parties, yet close enough for Indian Territory to turn the scale for Democracy In the day of Union. But the optimist among the Democratic advocates of union and state hood would have been modest In hia claims of a majority. Aqd so when the two territories were joined In statehood by the last congress both parties made ready for the first ballot battle with confi dent claims before the public, but serious anxiety within their own secret councils as to the result. The outcome was simply astounding, confounding the Republicans and filling the Democratic rank with Inspiration and enthualasni. Out ofl 12 delegates to the constitutional convention the Democrats elected 55 from Indian Territory and 43 from Oklahoma, while the Re publicans only returned 12 delegates altogether, >tnd these exclusively from Oklahoma, with two Indian delegates, who are non-partisan anil Independent, but will doubtless act with the dominant party. And tjila Is the overwhelming strength with which the Democracy Is equipped to write the organic law and establish the custom and prece dent of the great new state of Oklahoma. What wrought this astonishing result, do you ask? Well, In brief and frankly, the Negro! He was the Dane that swept the ballots In a storm toward the white man's party. Tills Is what a leading Republican and a brilliant Demo crat agreed In offering me as an accepted explanation here tonight. The Issue was not fought out as definitely as It was in Georgia, but It was just us thoroughly understood on both sides, and hundreds— yea thousands of Northern Republicans, who nro still stalwart In their national faith, have lived long enough among the Territorial negroes to join full-hearteJ and full-handed with the Democrats In organizing the new state definitely mid permanently upon a white man'a basis. These fellows will fight it out on economic lines hereafter, with a far closer Issue, but they did not hesitate a moment in the face of Saxon sovereignty. No more significant Incident, no more convincing lllustrattyn of the growing unity of the Caucasian American upon this great question has been furnished In the later annaln of American tiolltlcs. And you may be sure that the new constitution—the first constitu tion—of Oklahoma will take care of the race question In a wise, firm statesmanship that will lie worthy of study and emulation In other state* of the Union. Of course the new glory of statehood Is shining full and fair niton these two rich and wonderful territories. Thore uro strong men nnd ambitious men forging to the front In the ranks of the dominant party. Thn prize of prizes Is the United States senate. So far there are four candidates for the hrtin now toga which Is to he worn for the first tlmo In 1907—nil protesting, but all smiling and all making tho wires hum. Two of those are young men. very bright nnd keen nnd capable. Col. Roy Hoffman, of Chandler, head of tho Territorial militia. Is a born politi cian, n fine speaker iftid u capital organizer, anil Is a man to be reckoned with by the winner. Roy Stafford, the brainy young editor of The Morniug Oklahoma, of Oklahoma City, Is In the race backed by a powerful and loyal clientele. There are two maturer moil Itchlml these young men, each figuring gravely and discreetly for the prize. William Zevel.v, the Muscogee lawyer, who was Hoke Smith's assistant secretary of the Inte rior. W strongly hacked for tho place and will perhaps enjoy the support of the noxt Georgia administration. He Is an enthusiast over Bryan. Martin Luther Turner, the Oklahoma banker, who has made a half million dollars since Hoke Smith opened the territory. Is favored by many strong men for thn place, and when the tlmo comes It will be remembered that money still continues to make u few remarks even If it no longer "talks." None of these men uro aggressive caudldules, and are really bearing themselves modestly, but they are monopolising the gossip and prophecy of their friends In the senatorial limelight. > Hut there Is a curious sentlmout alive and astir over this senatorial race. There Is growing up u purely sentlmentul view that one of these first senatorshlps from Oklahoma ought to be filled by un Indian of the aboriginal race. The Indian Is not cutting much figure In lmlitlcs. "There are too few or him.” Hut there are some strong and ablo men of the whole or of three-quarter blood who are up to senatorial measure In Oklahoma. There are three picturesque and splendid Red Men around whom this senti mental gossip Is gathering warmly among the philosophers nnd senti mentalists of stato politics. Thore Is Charles D. Carter, a young Indian of Ardmore, who owns 12.000 acre* of lund and several blocks of town property.' Chief McCurtaln is a giant full blooded Choctaw, and Chief Pleasant Porter Is a big and powerful Creek, lwpular and accomplished. McCmialn la the eagle orator of his race and would hold hla own with the best In Oklahoma on the stump. Chief Porter Is an ncompllshed speak er and gentleman and Is a great favorite in St. Louis, and Carter Is a man of attainments and-affairs. Mark you. these are not Indians In paint and feathers, hut gentlemen who wear dress suits Rnd silk hats ui>oit occasion. There is n touch of genuine and almost heroic pathos In this sugges tion of an Indian senator—a touch that Is reaching even the hearts of the professional politicians—and If these four brilliant and popular Dem ocrats first named In tills gossipy s|ieculatlon should develop a deadlock or a wrangle, It Is almost sure that oue of these fine, dignified uml Im pressive Red bleu will go to Washington and take tho oath as perhaps the first and certainly the last representative of his fated race to hold u seat in the national councils or a country that wus once nil his own! \Vb*t a spectacle that would ninkc for the capital, and how nobly o«i* of these noble fallows might hear himself for a brief and passing term as tbe Ijist ofaheRed Men! . This Oklahoma city fairly sluggers you with Us growth and elegance It Is lieyond all question the Atlanta of the West and it mightily likes to Ih< told so. It seems almost Impatient the way this territorial metroim- Hit continues to grow. Its wide and airy streets—better paved than ours laud more of them In proportion)—Its splendid buildings, sky scrapers and stately blocks; its two elegant hotels, its dainty and BtyllBh cafes, its really beautiful theaters, and ItB stylish aud fashionably dressed |x*o- pie suggest the East at Its best, rather than a fresh and audacious young city In a territory not yet twelve years old. There arc not far from 40,000 |>eop1e In Oklahoma City now, and the streets are full of Georgians every day. There Is one young fellow out here who Is going to make his mark In Oklahoma's politics, and reflect honor upon his native sttae. He conies from Wayrross and Ills name Is Howard Elder. He hns been practicing law three years and -Is already among the foremost men of n brilliant bar. He Is an orator, a thinker, a tireless worker and an accomplished mixer with men. He Is keen, bril liant, ambitious and perhaps the most ixtpular young man in this magic city. If he Uvea aud struggles-4ie is sure to lie a statesman and to win the substantial plaudits of hi* fellow citizens. Oeorgla may as well now wrlte tho name of Howard E. Elder as one of her most promising contri butions to the future history or our sister state of Oklahoma. Of course there Is uo coming here without a thought of 8am Jones. These iieople feel and express a tender pride In the fact that his last work and Ills last words were done nnd said In Oklahoma City. They siieale of him lovingly and iiikui this last incident claim a share In hint with us, and a new tic which binds Oklahoma to Atlanta and to Georgia. Oklahoma City, Nov. 26.

I A 7HA NKSGIVING SERMON FOR YOU AND YOURS By REV. JAMES W. LEE. The average man ha* fallen Into the habit of finding his reason* for Thankagivlng In bountiful supplier of something to eat, or to wear—In weil-niled barns and corn cribs—in external possessions. Interior pos sessions are overlooked. The custom is to bo thankful for what we have, not for what we are; for what we have to live on, not for Just living: for what Is In the environment around us, not for capacity to digest and as similate tho environment. We are like the whale (If he knew lidiv-to be thankful), who should be grateful for the ocean, the part of himself not converted Into fish, but should fall to rejoice In the fact of being a big Inhabitant of the water. Now, the persou who is thankful thoroughly and completely and absolutely Is the one who finds the ground of gratitude, first and foremost. In simply being alive, in lungs for taking in the breath of day, In eyes for drinking down Into their depths the morning light. In Intelligence for grasping truth. In will for conforming to law. In affection for loving the good and Jhe beautiful. Looked at from this standpoint, the poor* may have more to be thank ful for than .the rich; they may have better eyes, better ears, finer In tellects, greater Imagining powers. Greece, with barren soli, had more to he thankful for than Egypt with the richest land in the world. Because, being poor. In external possessions, Greece emphasized and developed and expressed the interior spirits of her people. There Is not a nation but would prefer tb claim as her own Plato, and Socrates, and Aristotle, than the stupid pyramids, the fat, earth-bound Cleopatra, and the rich mud of the Nile. John Bunyan, In his dungeon, had more to-be thankful for than Horace Walpole in his palace at Strawberry Hill. St. Paal, In prison, had more to be thankful for than Nero on his throne. Who had not rather be Shakespeare, without a dollar, than Queen Elisabeth, with all England’s millions around her? This thing of being thankful for what we have—crops, houses, money, railroads—has been overdone. • i It would be refreshing to attend a Thanksgiving service where the neople were spiritual enough to be grateful for what God has refused them. He refused Calvin health, and so we have the Institutes. The preacher in an experience meeting colled on a member to tell what the Lord had done for him. His mouth had just recently been drawn and bent by a paralytic stroke. So he slowly rose up and faced the minis ter and said In broken words: "The Lord has almost ruined me." But he was thankful. And it is in line with the teachings of history to say that nearly all genuine thanksgiving hus gone up to heaven from the ruined, from the beaten, the torn, the wounded. It Is not Improper to thank God for temporal blessings. It Is right and our duty, hut the emphasis should be kept on the Interior, essential, eternal elements and possessions of our lives. SON OF MR. SPENCER HURRIES TO WRECK Special to The Georgian. GreensGoro. N. C., Nov. 29.—There Is deep regret over the fdte of President Spencer and his friend. Mr. Schuyler, who were killed In a wreck today. Mr. Spencer owned an extensive game pre- serve at Friendship, a station 10 miles from here on the Winston branch road, and each year spent a week hunting. Schuyler usually accompa nied him. They were coming for a hunt this week, and at the time the news of the wreck reached here If. B. Spencer, of the president, and recently made sixth vice president of the Southern system, was at the station with a pri vate train awultlng the arrival of his father nnd guests on the train due here at 3:53 o’clock. He was. of course, first notified of the awful disaster, and a special was at once made up for the scene of the wreck. Division Superin tendent AV. S. Andrews accompanied the distracted son on his mission. James D. Lauy, of New York, who married President Spencer’s only daughter, is now on his hunting pre serves in this county, near Oakrldge, 15 miles distant. Efforts to Inform him by 'phone of -the disaster have been fruitless. Nooks and Corners of American History By REV. THOMAS B.

The death of Miss Lois Moncheur daughter of the Belgian minister in Washington, has taken away one of the daintiest trio In the diplomatic set in Washington.

Mar. guerlte, Alice and Lois, were like lit tle Dresden figures and were about the most admired of the young belles in the foreign contingent. They were almost always gowned In white along similar lines with Idg white plumed hats and the most deli cate accessories. Miss Lois, who was the youngest of the trio, was scarce ly 14 when she fell n victim to typhoid fever at the Belgian legation In Wash ington. Her sisters In their blHCk robes look very pathetic und all their asso ciates in the diplomatic families are grieving with them.
