THE ATHENS SPIRIT.
Athens is the toast of the state.
Her generosity and interest in the l n-
iverslty of Georgia as manifested by
her recent gift of twenty-five thous
and dollars to that institution mark
her as a city of exceptional progress
and the people of the state at once
see how much she is interested in the
great Institution that constitutes Geor
gia's greatest educational factor.
Title Atlanta Constitution of yester
day, commenting In a leading edito
rial uism this splendid gift hy the
city of Athens to 1110 University,
says:
"The city of Athens surprised ttie
trustees of the State University }ts
terday by formally presenting them,
for the University, the proceeds from
the sale of $25,000 of tile bonds re
cently issued by tho splendid city
which is the seat of the University.
it has been announced that this
part of the city's bond, issue would, in
a general way, ho donated for univer
sity purposes, but not until yesterday
was It made known that the fund was
to be placed in the (hands of the trus
tees, without a string and without a
suggestion, excepting that so much of
it as may be necessary be applied to
ills purpose of completing the campus
extension development , which, of
course, will be done.
“Already the University has acquired
mure limn seven hundred acres ad
joining the historic campus, in the
business center of the city, thus giv
ing to the state the most extensive
grounds of any southern University.
To acquire this, as was done, through
the work of the Alumni Society, it was
necessary to borrow some money, and
It is for the purpose of freeing lids
purchase from mortgage that the city
of Athens has acted with such marked
generosity.
"Phis is the second direct gift o!
$25,000 from the city to the state and
It should be a source of much grati
fication throughout the state that the
city so cordially andi so substantially
appreciates the imiiortance of being
the mother-head of tho University,
which, by the way, has entered the
era of its greatest development by lay
ing the foundation in recent years for
a grow lit that will make it not only
the greatest of all southern univer
sities, hut will place It among the
foremost of the educational institu
tions of America.
“If tho state does Its part as the city
and tho alumni have, the possibilities
of the historic Institution arc unlimit
ed.
"And that the state will do its full
duty no one can doubt."

Tho republicans profess to be great

Is aaldi that Samuel Gompers, on be

will demand a plank In the republican
party platform to tho effect that gov

1-ahor Is a considerable vote In I hi
country and of late It has been eust
pretty solidly. It never was better
organized than today. The party thu
geta the entire labor vote of tills
country would unquestionably be the
winner.
Now the republicans have ft large
percentage of that vote North and
have no desire to lose it. At the sanu
time the republican leaders are
against putting any such plank In the
platform as that demanded by Mr.
Gompers. Andi therein Is the trouble
of tho present situation, thu grav
problem that confronts the republican
convention soon to meet In Chicago
To put In such a plank will he

leave It out opens the way to a seriott
revolt of the labor vote.
If the republicans fail to put the
plank in the platform there is not
much doubt about the action of tho
democrats at Denver. There are nura-
bers of democratic leaders who would
be opposed to such a plank in the na
tlonal platform, but It is well knew.i
that it suits the ideas of Mr. Bryan

The Savannah News, comment
ing on this subject, says:
“As an illustration of what Is meant
it may be mentioned that a sawmill
man was hear t to say that he had Just
received an order for fifteen carloads
of lumber from a railroad, and was
told when the order was given him
that no lumber would have been
bought If Governor Smith had been
named in the primary, because of the
doubt as to what course the governor
would be In respect to the railroads.
The railroad* now feel they can get
all the money they want for Improve
ments at a reasonable rate of inter
est. It is probable, therefore, that the
loads will soon be making Improve
ments on a large scale. That beinfi
the cu.se many men now* out of cm
ploy men t will soon be earning wages.
* A traveling man who has been
visiting South Georgia counties for the
last eighteen years, remarked that
he was going to start out with his
sample case In the morning, and that
he had no doubt he would be able to
do a very good business, though if
the election had gone differently ho
would hesitate to make the trip at
this time, since he woulii have no rea
sons to expect to sell any goods in
his line.
‘ This is only a sample of the way
nu n in various kinds of business are
talking. Being more hopeful and hav
ing more confidence in the speedy
coming of good times there will be
a greater disposition to go ahead as
if prosperity had actually been restor
ed.”
state. There Is no need for a spe
clal attorney for the railroad com
mission. The attorney general of the
state is a paid officer whose duty
it is to render legal decisions on
points that may arise in the state
government, and it is no trouble to
have a good lawyer on the commis
sion. There is no need for so many
stenographers and a rate expert and
track walkers and other office-holders
now serving the state in this depart
ment. The work can be done as it
was done before and satisfactorily.
The old law required three mem
bers to be appointed, one off them
be a good lawyer, another a good bus
iness man and another a railroad
man thoroughly familiar with the rail
road question. Under this law there
was ample provision made for every
contingency. The questions brought
before the commission 'ouM there
fore be viewed from the three stun 1-
points, of the lawyer, the business
) an and the expert railroad man. And
tihere can be no successful refutation
of the statement that the old system
worked well and achieved splendid re
sults.
l-nder the now system a number of
fat political debts have* been paid.
That is about all there is to it. The
state of Georgia has been bled for
about forty thousand dollars per an
num to satisfy the whims of a certain
class of politicians and afford a few
offices for some of those who thought
they knew all about reforming the
state.
With three good lawyers on tfio
commission the office of special attor
ney had to be created to take care of
Judge Hines, and then other offices
had to he made to satisfy political
raving for office. And * he other ex
penses came and after all, the new’
commission lhas been able to do no
more effective work than the old, if
indeed Its work has been as effec
tive.
The present law gives the commis
sion control over street railways aid
other municipal uitillties. The con
trol of those utilities should be en
tirely with the municipalities. Much
better results can be obtained, if the
municipalities are left to control these
corporations Instead of the state. That
part of tihe law should be repealed a id
the control of these corporations al
lowed to remain a* it was before the
bill passed last year by the legisla
ture.
There is everything to commend the
old law’. It was framed after much
careful consideration. It was fAim
ed with much deliberation and wis
dom. It provided that one member
of the commission should he a law
yer, and in that way made provision
for all the legal talent that is neces
sary for tih© management of the af
fairs of the commission. It provided
that one member should be a prac
tical business man, and in that way
made provision for the handling of
big business propositions and the
safeguarding of the rights of big com
mercial and Indus trial interests. It
provided that one member should be
an experienced railroad man, ami In
that way made provision for an intel
ligent handling of the problems )f
railway regulation.
And the old law worked well. Un
der it the commission rendered con
spicuous service to Georgia. It will
work well again, if the legislature
should! see fit to make the change
back. The new law simply create*

BACK TO THE OLD LAW
At the approaching session of the
general assembly of Georgia fhere
should he introduced and passed
hill repealing the act enlarging the
railroad commission and directing a
return to the old) law under which
that part of tin* state government was
run.
And when we advocate this change
of law’ it is with no intention what
ever of giving the railroads a single
thing to whiclh they are not entitled.
The railroad commission of Geor
gia was established with a definite
puriMMP. That purpose was to keep
the railroads within bounds and to
protect the rights of the people, as
well as to protect the rights of the
railroads. A return to the old ays

THE NEW YORK SUN
ENDORSES ACTION
Of People in Georgia Nominating
Joe Brown.
From New York Sun.
An interesting question arising
out of the Georgia primaries is, “How
far does the popular dissatisfaction
with the Roosevelt policies extend?”
If must he evident that Brown’s vic
tory over Hoke Smith was animated
entirely by the people’s recognition of
the evli effects of those policies. Hoke
Smith, a shrewd, unscrupulous politi
cian. found the forim nt in active
operation and used it for the purpose
of his own promotion. He did not, or
would not see that the hysteria had
fallen flat ami he ignored the oppor
tunity to desert a losing cause. Smith
was not an honest fanatic. He did not
believe In prohibition or assaults on
property. His failure, therefore, to
get upon the other side in time was
a cl ?ar case of stupidity or mistaken
bravado, and the Georgians displaced
him without a qualm. For themselves
they had tried the experiment and
were done with it. Hoke Smith was
not alert enough to stay with them,
so thev left him behind an] no ques

LUCIAN KNIGHT’S BOOK.
The second volume of Lucian L.
Knight’s book, "Remlniscenses of
Famous Georgians," has been Issue]
and has already made an even great
er impression than his first volume
made.
In giving these two volumes to the
country, Mr. Knight has conferred a
distinct benefit on the state of his na
tivity. it has been with, him a labor
of love, for Georgia never produced
a more loyal son than Lucian L
Knight.
Far too little has been written of
the men whom Georgia has given to
fame. There have lived in this state
as great men as any other state in
the union can boast of, and yet the
average citizen knows little of Geor
gia’s contributions. The perusal of
the two volumes of Mr. Knight's book
will give a thorough knowledge of the
great men of Georgia and it is a stu
dy that appeals to the interest and
the duty of all Georgians. We shoul I
know more of our people and what
they have done in the world. Espe
cially should the younger generation
know’ what the representative men of
other generations did in this state.

PARDON OF POWERS
CAUSES SHOOTING
Catlett
Ky., June 15.—A min
iature race riot took place here as a
result of which one negro is dead, an
other negro and a white man mortally
v..-Miiuhd. The shooting was done by
Bruce Lee, son of Colonel Warfield
Lee, an ex-Confederate.
The dead negro Is Harry Scott, shot
through the heart. The other negro,
James Shoekey, is shot through tho
slum! ler and the white man, John Gal
loway, through tfhe lower part of tli
abdomen.
Conflicting stories art? told as *
how the row’ started', but the moat
plausibh one is that Ia?c and Galloway
had been di inking. As they passed
in front of the shoe shining place run
by the negroes, they were discussing
the pardon of Powers auil Howard.
Scott, hearing something the whito
men were saying, retaliated with somo
remarks, when Lee turned and took
tip the quarrel with him.
!/•<» went into a saloon, returned
with a revolver and began firing. Ho
directed his shots at Scott ani tho
second bullet pierced his heart. Tho
other negro started to run, but before
he reached an alley was struck.
Galloway was evidently hit by a
stray bull. t. as Lee was not firing at
him. L< ■* was arrested.
Coroner Martin held an inquest.
The verdict of the jury was that
Scott came to his death by a bullet
wound inflicted by an unknown party
Lee does not deny 'he shooting.

It would be Interesting to know how

ness Is not fram’d by the skulls and

For an answer to this interrogate
ty we shall perhaps have to wait a
while. Meantime we can find some
hope in th^ spectacle recently pre
sented in Georgia. Nobody Imagines
for a moment that Joe Brown won
over Hoke Smith upon his individual
merits. The South loves oratory and
personal presence. Hoke is big, hand
some and vociferous. He stumped the
state, alluring, melodious, fraught
with jesture. Joe Brown is small, un
pleasant to look upon, with few per
sonrl friends, and an ingrained ob
jection to display. In fact be didn’t
make a speech or appear on a plat
form from the beginning to the end.
He stayed' at home and kept his mouth
shut. The reaction from Roosevelt
and Hoke Smith must have been bit

Brown Into her arms and made of him
a protest and a refuge.
Now, what of Alabama, North Caro

London, June 15. -Not in many
ars has London witnessed suen u
gathering of eminent churchmen as
have assembled here during the past
few days In readiness for the Pan-
Anglican church congress. Scores of
bishops aird hundreds of noted divines
and laymen have gathered from the
four quarters of the globe to take
part in this conference for which pre
parations have been going forward
for nearly five years. The United
States and Canada are well represent
ed among the delegates, as are also
Australia, South Africa and, in fact,
almost every part of the habitable
globe.
The conference is not to have Its
formal opening until tomorrow. To
day many of the delegates met to
discuss the final plans, while hundreds
of others accepted an invitation to
visit Knebworth, the Hertfordshire
seat of Lord Stratheona. The formal
opening of the conference Is to take
place in Westminister Abbey and the
closing service will bo held in St.
Paul’s Cathedral.
One of the most interesting fea
tures of the program will be evening
meetings in Royal Albert Hall. The
Archbishop of Canterbury is to occupy
the chair at the first of these meet
ings tomorrow night. On the succeed

in turn be the Bishop of Calcutta, the
Archbishop of Che West Indies, Bishop
