THE SOUTHKXN DEMOCTSAGY.
It le always well to know what our enemies think of its. because If
“in vino verltae" be a true axiom. It Is not Iasi true that In Intelligent uppo-
altlon there Is always a filr.appreciation of the strength and opportunity
of the party opposed.
Here. then, comes The New York Bun, not always accurate and fair,
but always Interesting. In thla oaaement upon the Democratic outlook
and the South's opportunity In It:
It aeeme to be conceded on all hands, especially where Un
hands happen to be Democratic, that If the Democratic national
convention were to assemble tomorrow It would nominate the
lion. William Jennings Bryan virtually by acclamation. At the
same time one finds It dUBcult, If not Impossible, to discover a
Southern mao noted for anytblug more than servile and unthink
ing obedience lo the Democratic machine who believe* that
Hryau could be elected, or. Indeed, who would Ilka to see him
Conservative men throughout the country are amaxed and die-
rouraged It Is conceivable that If the Northern Democrat* were
assured of a determined'opposition to Bryan amoog the South
ern Democrats who conduct the political activities of their sec
tion and are likely to control its delegations, they might decide in
refer the decision to tboee who will ornate nine-tenth* of the
Democratic elector* aud who therefore have at least a moral
right to dictate. Hut Northern Democrats sre assured of no
such, thing. They have no means of knowing that the Southern
machine represents little more thso the army of ward worker*
and petty offleeaeekers; and who than Marne them for assuming
that the shooters have something serious and substantial behind
(hew?
treatment, and an accuracy of observation and statement which have
made her work invaluable to tho>department and have magnified her ear-
vice to the country far beyond the publicity which she enjoys In public
repute. ' x
• If there be any left In tbit enlightened age to goeetioa the capacity of
woman for the larger lines of builnes* and Intellectual endeavor, the
record of this distinguished lady of Georgia will aniwer the reflection.
Sldd de" Graffenreid Is the guest In Atlanta at thla time of Col. mnA
Mre. W. L. Feel, tod Is receiving many social attention* which bear trib
ute not only to her gifts and graces aa a Southern woman, but to tba dig
nity and reaponalblllty of her splendid achievements as a publlo servant.
GOSSIP
It Is unfortunate for the Democracy that Southern men of
brain* and substance and reaponalblllty are too busy In works
of upbuilding gnd civilisation to waste time In parly caucuses ami
primaries. The country at large, however, Is the beneficiary of
this dispensation, for the Southerners In question are now achiev
ing great results for all of us, whereas If diverted to merely ini
mical channel* of activity they would doubtless acroinpllsh noth
ing fur the common welfare.
After all, the Democratic party seems to have 110 useful mis- /
slon to perform as It Is at present organised aad led. nor Is It cer
tain that material Interest at the South would be luomoted
through Its agency. The men who really predlde over the desti
nies of tha section would serve themselves and their country In
finitely well by seeing to the creation or Republican riciegatrs
pledged to prevent the nomination of any Incendiary socialist or
ertay doctrinaire. - ±
It Is exceedingly good of The Sun to counsel ua ao disinterestedly to
stick to business In the, South, and to leave itolltlcs and the government
to tnat great party of spoils and privilege under which the trust* have
prosparad and the grafters have multiplied in great corporations aud In
campaign contribution*. We will take the counsel uuder pdvlseim-nt with
the usual grain of salt.
On one question The Bua la entirely right, and that Is the opportu
nity and the duty of the South to assert the right of Its numbers and loy
alty to exercise a larger Influence upon the platform and the nominee ot
the next Democratic convention. It la time now to discard the role of pull
ing chestnuts for our Northern allies, and to go right In tor the choice
and enjoyment of the things that we pull out of the fire of the ballots
The 8un need not worry about Bryan. The South believes In Bryan
and trusts him, and while It dogs not bow in truckling to hla every
opinion. It-haa confidence-to-hla Ini eerily and ssnlly. and If he Is nontlna-

ted the country may be sure that the South will lie behind him solldl
and loyally to help with Ita usual fidelity In the fight, and to sustain with
heartiness the clean and capable administration he will give ua.
Nor should The Sun distress Itself too deeply over divisions In the
Democratic party. I>et us reqult* The Sun's all too generous Interest In
these divisions by suggeitlng that ILIook speedily to the wide divergen
cies of conviction in Its own household of faith. Let It seek to reconcile.
If possible, the hopeless difference between President Rooeevelt and For-
aker and the "privilege wing" ot the "O. O. P."

rial. what The 8un Itself Is going to do If Ita party convention should In
sist, upon renominating that “Incendiary socialist" and “crasy doctrin
aire" whose name and strenuous record keeps Tfie Sun awake at night
with apprehension.
Ia the matter of harmony the Democratic party Is fully as well off
as the old moribund organisation which I* split to pieces between the
neat and democratic creeds of the preeldent, and the old llourbon and
roporate Idea* upon which It has fattened and endnred for so many years.
ATLANTA DEMANDS THE PENNANT.
Tha balmy winter It dravriaglo~s cloie. snd lhe near approach of
that fresh young spring time le which our young American fancy lightly
turna to thoughts of baseball la at hand.
The national gama ia fronting a season of perhaps larger and more
general Interest than It baa ever known. Every Indication points to the
fact that Ita various leagues In all sections will be full of rich material
equipped with well trained men, and attended In their public performances
by larger assemblies than have ever marked the aeaeon of baseball before.
Atlanta looks to the coming season with peculiar pleasure and expec
tation. •
l.et us emphasise the fact that Atlanta looks thla lime with "confident
expectation" to a winning team. By all the precedent! and by all the
standards of work and Interest. Atlanta Is entitled thla season to a pen
nant team.
It has been a long time since Atlanta won the pennant In the South*
era League—much longer than our manager should have permitted us to
go unmagnllled and uarejolced by thla athletic pre-eminence. It la time
now that Atlanta should lift the banner of victory In her baseball park
and rejoice the "fans" who hare been so faithful and so expectant for
so many disappointing years.
By all the suggestions of patronage Atlanta ought to be given a win
ning team thla year. We think the fact will be generally conceded that
Atlanta's patronage of baseball Is superior to that ot any other city In
the Southern League. Neither the grand stand nor the bleachers are
ever deserted wheu Atlanta plays at home, and the visiting teams who
come here are given as fair treatment and aa overflowing an attend
ance as are furnished to many of the greater leagues In Northern
cities. Atlanta has paid In advance for a victorious aggregation of base-
batllgts.
Atlanta Is as rich as any city In the league, save perhaps New Or
leans. and Ita name la so Indissolubly linked with success that a place on
Ita rolla ought to be an Inspiration to victory.
Manager Smith has demonstrattd the highest capacity In Ilia pre
vious record as an orgaulter and iatplrer of baseball learns. *
And we Just want to put him on nollce, and to put hint on his metlle.
that In this particular year of grace. Atlanta baa her heart aet upon'a vic
tory. That her fans will not be satisfied abort ot the triumph of the
team, and that the disappointment of this twentieth century city will be
both visible and audible and practical If Atlanta does not win In the sea
son that Is ahead of us.
A DISTINGUISHED WOMAN.
When the famous Blair education bill was uuder discussion In the
American senate. Senator Blair In hla place said among his opening re
marks:. .. .. —
"Mr. President, for the facta and figures which I shall advance In my
argument today. I am Indebted to Mlta Claire de Graffenreid. of the de
partment of labor, and 1 ask permission to ssy that I look upon Miss de
Graffenreid as one of the ableet. It not the ablest, of American women."
This superb compliment In the 1’nlted Slates senate was paid lo a
Georgia woman who haa vindicated In her subsequent career the high
opinion expresied ot her In thla dignified and llluatrloun body.
Miss de Graffenreid Is a daughter of the late Cql. William K. de Graf-
fenreld, of Macoa. one of the foremoit lawyers of Georgia In the period
Immediately following the civil war. 8ht It connected by marriage with
many of the leading families of the state bearing her own name, and othtr
names known and honored In the nnnals of Georgia. Miss de Graffenreid
has been for some twenty year* the trusted and confidential agent ot the
department of labor In Washington, enjoying the fullest confidence nnd
highest respect of Carroll D Wright, whose administration of that depart
ment has never beeu surpassed In the comprehensive expression of Intel
ligent public service.
Miss de Grslfeni-elri makes frequent visit* to Kurope and lo the
greater centers of this country, studying conditions nnd gathering statis
tics which make up (icrhaps the most Interesting and comprehensive por
tion of the regular reports of the department of labor. In all these years
