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.

We congratulate Congressman Bell upon bit level bead aad his unfettered speech. May he always be as right as he la today." ~ ■ 1 ' 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." And let us ask In view of the startling and atiaglng paragraph of virulent and almost vitriolic denunciation with which It closes It* edito 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.
