6 Bryan Urges Both Parties To Co-operate in Exposure Os Reactionary Schemes BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN There is a natural line running through politics, as well as through society in general, separating the conservative from the radical. The division is due in part, but not en tirely, to difference in information. Two people, equally well Informed, may take opposite views of a subject because of what may be called a con stitutional tendency. These two forces contribute, each its part, to the welfare of society. If it were not for the conservative the radical would go too fast; if it were not for the radical the conservative would not go at all. In so far as the con servative simply cbmpels delibera tion, he performs a real service, and, when conscientious and not influenc ed by ulterior motives, he gradually yields to public opinion, based upon intelligent discussion. But, while the conservative can be tolerated because of the element of caution that he contributes, the reac tionary belongs to a very different class. The conservative accepts progress when it becomes an ac complished fact and uses that which has be . acquired when he contests some new step in advance. The re actionary. on the other hand, is usually the secret agent of a public enemy and, therefore, less candid in giving reasons for his course. An honest conservative points out the dangers as he sees them and utters a warning as conscientiously as the radical pleads for a change. But the reactionary, conscious of his in ability to defend his position by open argument, resorts to subterfuge and false pretense. The progressive forces of society - have nothing to fear from honest conservatism; on the contrary, they welcome its chal lenge and meet its inquiries in the spirit in which they are presented. But the reactionary, working in the dark and actuated by motives he can neither disclose nor defend, is the real foe whom the reformer has to fear and against whom he must continually fight. Why Stake Is Bigger The conflict between the unorgan ized masses, who ask only justice and are content with the recognition of their rights, and the predatory in terests, rages in every land, and no where more bitterly than in the United States. The stake is bigger here because the wealth which is within the reach of avarice here sur passes the dreams of the plutocrats of other lands, and the very intelli gence of our people becomes the ave nue through which misrepresenta tion can be spread when great news papers are brought to the support of schemes of exploitation. The corporation, a real invention in commerce, and an apostle of democ racy when properly employed, has become the means through which greed does the major part of its mis chief. A corporation permits a large number of people to co-oper ate under conditions much more fa vorable than any partnership can offer, a” when properly managed, furnishes to the masses a means of sharing in great industries and en terprises. But the corporation, like # every other good thing, is liable to be abused, and it has been grossly abuse' in the United States. A few i designing men can, when they obtain control of a corporation, turn a well intended instrumentality entirely away from its proper course and use it for the enrichm-”t of those who are in a position to direct its ener gies. When once a-controlling inter est is secured and the valuable priv ileges which accompany the manage ment of corporation are turned to the p ry advantage of ...tose in charge. Passing over the period during which the trusts reached their max imum development, let us consider the change that followed the elec tion of 1912. When President Wil son entered the White House he had a senate and house in sympathy with him, and a >empcratic party made a record along the line of economic reform without a parallel in our his tory. It lowered the tariff; it enact ed a currency law that has proven to be the best in the world; it gave the farmers relief through a farm loan law; it created a federal trade commission and began a war against the trusts. It distinguished between labor and merchandise and gave to the wage earner protection from government by injunction and also gave an eight-hour day. All of these steps In advance we. e contested by the big corporations. The tariff lar ons fought the tariff law; the finan ciers waged a fierce fight against the currency law. the trusts bitterly op posed legislation aimed at them and all combined to resist the eight-hour day. Women Saved Party In the campaign of 1916, the pred atory interests made a united at tack upon the Democratic party and, but for the women’s vote in the west, would have succeeded in overthrow ing the party. And it should be re membered that the election in the west was won, not upon economic grounds, but because the president had resisted the efforts made to force him into the European war and into the war with Mexico. He re ceived so large a support in the suf frage states as to be elected bv a small Imajority in the electoral col lege in spite of the east. An inspec tion of the returns of that election leaves no doubt as to the complete ness of the political organization formed by the moneyed interests of the country. Then came our entry into the war when, as a war necessity, the gov ernment took over the railroads, the telegraph lines and the telephones. This angered the monopolists bevond measure. yVhile they had to confess the inability of private management to meet the exigencies of the war, they saw at once that they had to meet the issue between private mo nopoly and government ownership. From that moment the fight was on in earnest, and government owner ship was the point of attack. With the railroads, the telegraph lines and the telephones under the manage ment of persons opposed to govern ment ownership (it being impossible under the circumstances to substi tute new men for those in charge), the experiment had to be tried under the most unfavorable conditions. The fact that those in immediate control were out of sympathy with the poli cy of government ownership would have been enough to paralyze the ex periment, but to the lack of sym pathy was added an active effort to demonstrate the failure of govern ment ownership, and every newspa per, controlled or owned by monopo lies, local or national, teemed with criticism. The Republican victory in the con gressional campaign of 1918 was due primarily to the aggressiveness of these predatory interests, rallied by the promise of the Republican lead ers, and the congress elected in 1918 has so far lived up to the highest expectations of those who desire to return the government to the control of the big interests. We are now approaching the cam paign of 1920 where thd case is to he tried out before the people— not fairly, by an open, honest statement of issues, but by evasion, misrepre sentation and subterfuge. No party dares openly to espouse the policy of the big financial magnates who demand nothing less than the abso lute control of the federal govern ment in every branch that the power of private monopoly may be com plete. They want the president be cause his veto would throw upon twem the necessity of having two t«4r<ls of both houses—a preponder > T-jCe they cannot hope to secure. 71« y elso want a president who will Turn the federal reserve system over to Wall street and put friends of the railroads on the interstate com merce commission and the supreme bench. They want a senate that can prevent any interference with the ambitions of monopolies, profiteers and exploiters, and a house of rep resentatives subservient to the de mands of the favor-seeking corpora tions. They vUll try to control both parties, write both platforms and nominate both candidates; then they will be able to throyr the Democratic party on the ash p'ile and give the Republican party a majority large enough to encourage it recklessly to obey the instructions from Wall street. » Expose Reactionaries The talk of a "business man’s can- THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKEY JOURNAL. FINANCIAL OUTLOOK BY STUART F. VTSST (Copyright 1920, by the Atlanta Journal.) WALL STREET, NEW YORK. May 29.—The turn for the better in the speculative market this week has been very definite and convincing, but it is of far less consequence than change which has come over the in vestment market. All competent judges have predicted that when money conditions eased, when there came a let-up in the credit strain, it was to be accpted as the signal for a great revival in bonds and in all other securities the yield on which is fixed. We have begun to see during the course of the week these predictions verified. The drastic measures .put into force by the fedral reserve authorities to cur tail loans to non-essential enter prises have started the credit de flation which could not be accom plished by the raising of official dis count rates. The improvement in the traffic situation and the belief that it will be carried further has counted heavily along the same lines Frozen bank credits are in rapid process of liquidation and the prac tical result has been seen already in the increased offerings at reduced rates for time money, the first break in the time money market deadlock in oyer a year. With the abundant evidence af forded that the credit position is on the mend and with the appearance of aji increasing supply ,of time funds shrewd investors realized that the market for bonds and pre ferred stocks had reached bottom and that much better times ’lay ahead. One would have to go back to the autumn of 1914, to find a week where bond prices made any such gain as they have this week. Liberty bonds have led the way. In a few days they have regained the entire ground lost in more than a month. Corporation bonds are up two, three and five points, and at the close of the week there are not only no indications of a let up, but on the contrary, the buying move ment seems to be acquiring mo mentum. But the resumption of gold imports and the prospect that these importations will expand until they reach a total possibly as high as $100,000,003 before the end of the summer, has ben an almost equally powerful influence. Federal Bank’s Power Now this fear has been pretty well dissipated. People have begun to recognize the essential difference between th present situation and that of thirteen years ago, namely, that then there was no contral con trolling agency in the banking sys tem of the country and that now there is. The federal reserve board, despite all former shortcomings, is proving its great ufility. It has the power and it has now shown that it also has the ability to prevent the crisis that might have come with in the next few months had there not been a rigorous cutting down of loans in order to provide a fresh supply of free credit available for financing the new harvests. The criticism against the present meas ure comes from purely interested quarters. The common sense view is that the federal reserve heads have chosen by far the lesser of two evils. It is unfortunate that industrial production has to be de creased. But it is of far more im portance that the credit strain be relieved. It is better by far to have a temporary let up in business than run the risk of a panic, which it would take years for the business community to recover from. The best judgment, of bankers and financial authorities as it has been given the public on numerous oc casions during the last week is that the credit difficulties have reached the peak, that the tension is sub siding and that th e relief measures Plus the gold importations will put the banks of the country in a strong enough position to meet the crop re quirements of the summer and au tumn without any serious results. It is upon this conviction that the whole financial situation has turned, that new buying power has been de veloped, that liquidation of securities has ceased, and that Wall street men have come to take a brighter view of the outlook than they have felt like taking for over six months. The in vestment section of the market is undoubtedly upward. Old line rail way stocks, which even a week ago were unpopular, have come especially into favor. They are the ones which stand to benefit particularly by the easing of money on the one hand and the prospect of much higher freight rates on the other. It is reasonably felt that there are immediate and very promising possibilities for spec ulation in the low-priced non-divi dend paying rails, this because of the very forceful case that has been made out at the interstate commerce commission hearings on the side of higher freight rates. Stock Dividends The financial community has been particularly impressed with the fig ures submitted by which the repre sentatives of the railroads proved that in most instances where there had been a valuation on the basis of reproduction costs this was shown by the commission’s experts themselves to be considerably higher than the valuation represented by property and Investment account. With the industrials the coming market is likely to be a much more discriminating one. Stocks which have distributed stock dividends have for the most part shot their bolt. So have stocks of companies whose in ventories will have to be whittled down as part of the commerce re adjustment that is in store, and there is little speculative incentive in the case of stocks of concerns producing non-essentials. On the other hand, the equipments have a very bright outlook and so have most of the high grade oils. didate’’ is only a premonitory symp tom of the nonpartisan movement now on foot—nonpartisan, because big business has no politics. Its patriotism is the “patriotism of pelf’’ and its God is Mammon. Its arrog ance and inscience do more to breed anarchy and stir up discontent than all the utterances of those who pro fess to be anarchists. The reactionary movement has Its headquarters in the Republican party; it is now in the saddle in both seriate and house; But the Democratic party is honey-combed with secret supporters of the reac tionary movement. If the Repub licans have a close vote and lose a few of the progressives in their party, they are not without hope, for they count upon getting enough recruits from the Democratic party to make up for their losses. The reactionary is in politics today as he has not been in years; he has money without -limit and newspapers ga lore. His stake is control of the government of the richest nation in the world. Nothing but an aroused electorate can save the country from an unexampled era of exploitation. If the rank and file of the Re publican party can be awakened in time to prevent the nomination of a reactionary, every patriot will have reason to rejoice. If the conscience of the Republican party does not assert Itself at the convention the responsibility thrown upon the Dem ocratic party will be grave indeed. It might be to its political advantage to carry the standard of reform against a Republican reactionary, but the only safe plan is for the friends of progress in both parties to con trol their respective conventions, then, no matter which party wins, the country will be safe. If either party champions the reactionary movement no prophet can foretell the result. If both parties are cap tured by the reactionaries the uncer tainties will be multiplied. It be hooves every lover of his country to work from now until the conventions meet to expose the schemes of the reactionaries in both parties and to prevent their consummation.

GRAY JOINS BLUE IN TRIBUTE TO FEDERAL DEAD BY H. F. BAUGHN Staff Correspondent of The Journal MARIETTA, Ga., May 31.—Veter ans of the Confederacy joined sur vivors of the army of the North Sun day in paying fitting tribute to tne memory of the 4,000 union dead who sleep in the Marietta National ceme tery. Under smiling skies, and while a throng of 2,000 looked on, enfeebled veterans of the Stars and Bars ten derly placed wreaths upon the graves of the gallant men they marched against nearly sixty years ago, giving touching evidence of the tie of respect and devotion that now binds together the fast waning ranks of the heroes who wore the blue or the gray. Small American flags, waving from every marker and headstone, whipped in the breeze a vibrant message of love and gratitude for the distinctive service of those who rest in the great white camp of silence. An infantry battalion and band from Camp Gordon, the Mitchell post, G. A. R., the United Confeder ate veterans, Spanish war veterans, American Legion, Women’s Relief Corps, Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Helen Gould auxiliary of the Fitzhzugh Lee camp, Spanish war veterans, participated in the impressive ceremonies, which be gan at 12:30 o’clock p. m. in the heart of the cemetery, with Captain C. R. Haskins, of Atlanta,'chairman of the Memorial committee, presid ing. . Linco'iii’s Address Read Declaring that the Issues of the sixties have been swept away and lorgotten, Colonel J. Colton Lynes, past commander of the Georgia Con federate veterans, attired in the same uniform of gray he wore dur ing campaigning days, read Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, pronouncing it "the gem of American literature.” "The embitterments of 1861 have passed,” said Colonel Lynes, “and it long since dawned upon us that the soldiers of each army were act uated by the same sacrificial spirit. No longer is there a north or a south, for we are all Americans, and on this national Memorial day we are here as a united people to pay homage to heroes who fell in our country’s service. This great army of silent sentinels is a glowing trib ute to American valor.” Major General David C. Shanks, commander of Camp Gordon, remark ed that it was a beautiful and me mo'rable event for a Confederate sol dier in the heart of the south to read Lincoln’s address at a memorial service in honor of the union dead. He lauded the deep sentiment that prompted the holding of an annual memorial service. “Sentiment,” said he, “is the greatest thing in the world. It was the controlling -fac tor in the glorious success of our army in the World war.” Captain W. H. Kimball, veteran of the union army, glorified the valor and sacrifice of both the north and south in the great struggle, and de clared he was supremely happy to see the veterans of the Confederacy join in the memorial exercises. “Once we longed to grasp each others’ throats,” he declared, “but now we love to grasp each others’ hands in a spirit of fraternity and devotion.” He remarked that he had often wondered, as the union ranks depleted, who would care for the Ma rietta graves after the last of the veterans parsed away. “But I no longer wonder, for this service has shown me that the Mason-Dixon line is no more,” he concluded. Other Speakers Major Trammell Scott, of Atlanta, son of a Confederate veteran, paid tribute to, the soldiers of the north in behalf of the American Legion. “The American Legion,” said Major Scott, “will always honor the mem ory of the veterans of the Civil war, blue and gray. Our organization knows no south and no north; we are all Americans. The legion sends you a tribute for your dead and comradeship for your living. And when you have passed into the un known beyond, it shall be our duty and privilege to keep these graves green for you.” Captain Henry F. Schroeder, Span ish war veteran and now an army officer at Camo Gordon, declared 1 American soldier was known the world over as the foremost warrior of all time. "He only attained this standard,” he said, “by following in the footsteps of those who wore the blue and the gray before him.” Cap tain Schroeder paid a beautiful trib ute to the dead of the union and the Confederacy. Other speakers were Commander A. M. Cosby, of the Mitchell post, G. A. R.; Adjutant W. M. Scott; Chaplain George C. Stull, Fifth division, and William Wilson, keeper of the Na tional cemetery. Mrs. R. A. Byers, of Marietta, sang “Abide With Me,” and "Tent ing on the Old Camp Grounds,” after which Chaplain Stull read the list of union soldiers who had died during the past. year. This was followed by a salute of twenty-one guns by one of the field pieces which the , Fifth division used in France.

COCA-COLA CASE DISMISSED FROM STATE COURTS (Continued from Faffs 1) This testimony had to' do with the sale of the original Coca-Cola com pany to the Delaware corporation, the re-organization and financing of the new corporation and the business relations between the bottlers and the defendant company. Defendants’ Fosition In their answer to the suits, the Coca-Cola company, of Delaware, among other things, contended that the contracts, as construed by the bottlers, were in violation of state and federal laws. Subsequently, dur ing the hearing of the case before Judge Pendleton, the defendant filed an amendment to its original re sponse, in which it set out that the contract, as construed by plaintiffs and as forming the basis for their claim, is contrary to public policy and non-enforcible, for the following I’easons: 1. In that it is claimed to be per petual. 2. It is opposed to the law of Georgia laid down in section 5253 of the code of Georgia as to the re straint of trade. 3. It is opposed to the constitution al provision laid down in section 6166 of the code of Georgia making illegal and void any contract or agreement whatsoever between corporations which may have the effect,’ or be In tended to have the effect to defeat or lessen competition in their respective businesses, or to encourage monopoly. 4. The said contract, as construed by plaintiffs, is violative of federal legislation touching monopolies, and the restraint of trade, and is there fore non-enforcible. Attorney John Sibley, of counsel for the bottlers, explained Monday morning that the withdrawal and dismissal of the suits in the state courts would expedite the ultimate termination of the litigation. When the suits originally were instituted in the Fulton superior court, Mr. Sib ley said, the plaintiffs did not con template that the defendants would attack on federal grounds the validity of the contracts between the bottlers and the Coca-Cola company, as amended by counsel for the company. Notable Counsel In consequence of this attack, Mr. Sibley said, counsel for the bottlers, after conference, had decided to dis miss their suits in the state court and reinstitute them in the federal jurisdiction. Otherwise, he said, the litigation would be unduly drawn out. The litigation has engaged the services of a galaxy of notable coun sel. Representing the plaintiff bot tlers were the firms of King & Spalding; Rosser-Slaton-Phillips & Hopkins; Charles T. & Linton C. Hop kins, and several attorneys from Chattanooga.

RETURN TO PLACES MONDAY (Continued from Fago 1) pdesident, as had been requested by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and other brotherhoods of the Cen tral road. Important developments could be expected during the after noon, he said. He was in conference during the morning with J. W. Brid well, mediator appointed by the fed eral department of labor. No response had been received Monday morning to the telegram sent Saturday by the board of di rectors of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce to E. H. Fitzgerald, of Cincinnati, head of the national brotherhood. The message had out lined the unsuccessful conference held at the chamber Saturday and had requested Mr. Fitzgerald to take charge of the situation here because of the chamber’s belief that the strike is illegal and unjustifiable. No General Walk-out The walk-out of clerks on all roads of the southeast, which had been predicted for Monday by J. W. Nel son, grand vice president of the clerks’ organization, who is in charge of the situation, had not developed up to noon Monday. Mr. Nelson stated Saturday that tile Southeast ern Federation of Railroad Clerks al ready had taken certain action as to a course of procedure and intimated that a general strike was forthcom ing. Forwarding and delivery of through carload freight only was reported Monday morning at the Southern railway and the roads comprising the Atlanta Joint Terminals—the Atlanta and West Point, the Georgia railroad and the Louisville and Nashville railway. The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway and the Nash ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis rail way, two roads which have main tained normal freight movements de spite the loss of a portion of their forces, reported no change in the sit uation. The Central of Georgia was receiving and delivering freight as usual here but reported that several embargoes outside Atlanta made it necessary to ’refuse shipments to sev eral points. Indirect effects from the strike were in evidence at the warehouse of the Seaboard Air Line railway on Monday. For one day only no freight would be received for ship ment, it was announced. Congestion caused by an abnormal diversion of tonnage to the Seaboard from roads on which the strike is in effect neces sitated measures for cleaning up the warehouse, if was said. Harris Urges Action On His Resolution to Reveal Profiteering EY THEODORE TILLER WASHINGTON, May 31. —Senator Harris returned Monday from a busi ness trip to Georgia and on arriv ing here said he intended to press for action on his • joint resolution calling for a statement from the treasury of the excess profits and income tax returns made by corpora tions for the past two years. Sena tor Harris hopes to show by such information the extent of profiteer ing during the war. The resolution is no wbefore the finance committee, and Republican members have so far withheld action on the theory that the expense of compiling such data would be too great. This is challenged by Sena tor Harris. The junior senator also said that he is receiving hundreds of telegrams urging favorable action at this ses sion on increased pay for postal em ployes. The joint postal commission has not filed a complete report as yet, and the Republican steering committees of both houses have made no arrangements for taking up postal salaries before the recess of congress, although it is admitted that hundreds of men are leaving the postal service because of the low pay. Senator Calder, Republican, of New York, recently directed the sen ate’s attention to th e distressingly low salaries paid postal workers.

Proceedings to Test Legality of Motor Vehicle Law Begun Proceedings to test the constitu tionality of the motor vehicle license la wof Georgia, which produces the revenue for the state highway de partment, were instituted late Satur day night. The test case is brought in the form-of a petition by Governor Dor sey for a writ of mandamus requir ing Comptroller General Wright to show cause why he should not ap prove a warrant by the governor on the highway fund. The petition was filed with Judge George L. Bell, of Fulton superior court, late Saturday night, and was set for a hearing on Tuesday, June 8. Recently it was ruled by Attorney General Denny that the motor ve hicle law is unconstitutional be cause it was passed by the house and senate without a roll call vote as re quired by the constitution on all bills involving appropriations. Acting on this ruling. Comptroller General Wright declined to approve a vouch er drawn by the governor on the highway fund. The warrant was drawn by the governor for the pur pose of getting a test case started. r k ✓ - 80 Pounds 188 Pounds Latest Photo tendency or Tuberculosis, may use it under plain directions.
