The Fruit of the Schurman Con troversy. The controversy evoked by The Georgian'* criticism of President Ja cob Schurman has not been without Its wholesome results. The criticism of The Georgian was baaed upon an undented report In the press dispatches which credited President Schurman with a proposi tion to "fumigate the tainted money of Rockefeller by using It to civilize the South.” After due waiting The Georgian answered this aspersion upon the civ ilization of this section of our country In a aeries of editorials that were wide- ly copied and commented upon throughout the North and South. A few weeks later In a personal and private letter, President Schurman disclaimed having made the remark or having re flected In any way upon the South. Promptly upon this assurance and by permission we published the para graph In that latter disclaiming the remark, and we expressed the pleasure that we felt In doing justice to the president of Cornell. Since then, however, the editorials of The Georgian have been so widely copied and niade the subject of such general comment upon the lack of tact and truthfulness In the itatement attributed to Mr. Bchurman, that that distinguished gentleman who declined at first to say anything for publica tion began to receive letters from friends all over the country catling hla attention to the report and urging him to make a statement. Upon this suggestion' President 8churman has decided that perhaps af ter all it would be better to publish a denial. And In a formal circular Is sued tg the country he concludes a gen eral statement of the incident In the following trenchant paragraph: "I lay these facta before tbe ed itors of tbe newspapers of the South, repeating tbe assurance that I have never In interview, writing or speech—nay, that I have never even In thought—re flected on the civilisation of thp South or regarded It aa Inferior to the civilisation of the North. And not only In justice to myself, but for the sake of Cornell univer sity, over which I have the honor to preside—a university which draws a large and Increasing num ber of students from the South— I respectfully ask the newspapers of the 8outh to make the facte known." tVe believe after alt that few things happen which are honestly dealt with that do not have their aftermath of good. And we are quite confident that this controversy haa had two very dealrable results. In the first place It has evoked from a very distinguished educator of na tional repute an opinion upon this section of tbe country which we com' mend to others leas wise and catholic, for its accuracy and breadth of view, tt is quite possible that men who read this statement will not hereafter be disposed, as they have been all too much In times gone by, to Indulge In reflections upon this section of the country because of casual acta of vio lence which aro just as likely to occur In other sections of tbe country. And so we think that the controversy has cleared the atmosphere and has given us from one of the highest posslblo sources of intelligence and thought and observation In this country the distinct and definite statement that the civili zation of the South Is In alt respects equal to the civilization of the North and has set at rest any minds that may be disposed to draw envious com parisons In favor of other sections and to the disparagement of this. - As a secondary consideration, It has given tho South an opportunity to know the real sentiments of the pres!' dent of Cornell. And that distinguish ed educator may rest assured that, having had from his lips an official declaration of his opinion of this sec tion of the country, tt wilt not forget to feel, and when occasion comes, to expresilts appreciation of one who Is both broad enough to see and gener ous enough to acknowledge the merits and the graces of the Southern people. And so out of It all combs good to everyone and Injury to none. BRYAN AND TAFT? According to the lights and shadows which play upon the political hori zon at the present time, these two seem to be the predestined leaders under whom we shall follow Democracy or Republicanism to victory In the next national campaign. Dp to the present moment no figure looms upon the Democratic horl-. zon tall enough or broad enough to cast a shadow upon the established primacy of William Jennings Bryan. The times have aa yet developed no rival to his leadership, and beyond a few sporadic nominations from the camp of the ultra-conservatives, no name In the Democratic host Is being considered In opposition to the Commoner of Nebraska. In the Republican ranks the situation wears a different complexion in every way. The first figure In the eager eye of both ranks Is the president. If Theodore Roosevelt wants the nomination, he can have It for the asking. If he will consent to have It, It will be his, without the asking. But behind this proposition stands the thrice repeated pledge of the pres ident that he will neither ask nor accept a third nomination for the chief office of the republic. There are those who question his sincerity In this. And there are othera who doubt his capacity to withstand tho pressure that may be brought to bear upon him from his friends. There are others still who believe that he may be moved by the plea of public duty and the responsibility of carrying forward the work which, having Inaugurated and set on foot, no one else could so well bear to Its conclusion. And beyond this there Is the scarcely-to-be-consldered possibility that the Democratic convention itself might see fit to commission the strenu ous president to carry to conclusion the great popular causes which he has championed with such conspicuous ability and force. But taking the president at his word the presidential field Is open be tween the brilliant and alert Beveridge, the wily and astute Shaw, ex secretary of the treasury, and the really substantial and admirable Taft, tho secretary of war. From this list we may promptly eliminate Secretary Shaw. He has not made good In the last days of his administration. He Is persona non grata to a certain element In the West and ho Is now In the employment, of the Standard Oil monopoly. The president Is very fond of Beveridge. He has made him the spokesman of the administration on many occasions, and Is supposed to have had a hand tn suggesting his cholco as tho opponent of Bryan In the political magazine debates now In progress. But word comes to us that Senator Beveridge la very much entangled by local political compli cations In his own state of Indiana, that his appointments havo produced wrangles and that these wrangles have grown to factions which bode him ill In any contest for the electoral vote of his own state. Then, too, the boom of Senator Fairbanks has not yet collapsed, and there are those who believe that tbe older and more astute diplomat and politician would prdbably carry away the laurels from the Junior senator In Indiana. All the conditions and all the prophets seem to point to Secretary Taft as the choice of tho president for the nomination of his party. It Is true that Taft Is opposed In Ohio by the redoubtable and Irrepressible For- aker. But with Taft’s own strength and tha prestige of the president In the "Buckeye State” It Is scarcely probable that the "fire eating politi cian” would prevail against the broad and level statesmanship of the sec retary of war and the phenomenal popularity of the president himself. So that, taken altogether, If the. president keeps his word and if he cannot be persuaded by hungry politicians and rabid partisans, the bat tle royal of 1908 will be fought between the Great Commoner of Nebraska and the strong and able secretary of war. Between Taft and Bryan all the laurels of the hustings would be with Bryan. All the drift of the definite Democracy of the tlmea should follow behind him and those Republicans who have lately been plucked by Roosevelt's courage and Initiative from the camp of spoils and privilege would probably find In Bryan a better successor to Roosevelt than In the conservative and comparatively non-committal statesman from Ohio. We Influence of the president behind hla favorite might be leas ef fective than the Republican spirit. There are thousands who would fol low Roosevelt who would decline to let Roosevelt tell them who to follow if he were not himself a candidate. There are millions who know and ad mire Roosevelt who know HUlo of Taft, and the only man In this republic who shares with the president the full measure of public confidence and public popularity Is the eloquent and Incorruptible statesman of Nebraska, whose consistent record, whoso dauntless courage and whose undiminish- ed consistency, make him still the Idol of hls party and the trusted citizen among all parties of the republic. Fairly and without tho prejudice of party at this time, we believe that Bryan would win the presidency from Taft. 1 Tet'us be thankful as Democrats for the pledges which promise that he will not be compelled to grapple with Roosevelt. ' the WONDER OF “GYPSY” SMITH. Dr. Broughton's Blblo conferences have brought to the Tabernacle many brilliant and wonderful men within these recent years. The long list, headed, perhapa, by Campbell Morgan, is not at the end of the pen at the moment, but the people of Atlanta who havq enjoy ed these great assemblies will remember gratefully tho obligation to these great men and to the great preacher who brought them here. tt Is doubtful If Dr. Broughton has ever brought to Atlanta a moro magnetic and appealing speaker than tho evangelist. Gypsy Smith. Not so Intellectual, perhaps, as Campbell Morgan, nor so logical as some of hls successors, but In the magnetism, the tenderness and the ef fectiveness of hls discourse perhaps the superior as a revivalist to them all. tt Is Interesting and yet almost Impossible to analyze the power of this wonderful man. To seo him hold In the hollow of his hand those vast audiences that gather night and morning at tho tabernacle, makes one wonder where to And tho secret of influence that distinguishes ono man from ahother In hls relation to hls fellow men. There I* much In the voice of "Gypsy” Smith to explain his power. No voice like hie has ever been heard on any local platform tn Atlanta. There is a plaintive note about It. a pathetic tone touched with simplicity and pulsed with llncerlty that goes like an arrow straight to the mark of the human heart. Through and through hls discourse runs the sliver cadence of this plaintive tone. But out of this pathos breaks from time to time tho live thunder of passionate appeal. And one part of the evangelist's strength undoubtedly lies In the sharp contrast between the appealing tenderness of hls conversational tone and the splendid Are of hls resonant bursts of condemnation or appeal. Of course all these considerations would be as naught unless the tone and spirit of the man carried the Impression of earnestness and abso lute sincerity. And with these In full measure developed, and with the ar dent and emotional temperament of the Gypsy joined to the fervor and devotion of the absolutely consecrated Christian, we hgve the easy secret of Gypsy Smith's wonderful power among men. The fact Is the longer we live the more do we come to msgnlfy the Influence of the heart and of sentiment In the affairs of men. We have no patience with tbe cold creeds of colleges tl\at deify the Intellect while they scant the sentiments and the soul. Intellect may waken thought, but we call men to witness that a big human heart has throbbed at the heed of every great movement that has bettered the race. From Peter the Hermit through George Whttefleld down to Henry Grady, it was the radiant pulse of beartfulness that has sent men to their majestic missions In the world. And when God Almighty sets apart a man to do a mighty work among men. either In the realm of spirit or of morals. He touches with a live coal from Hls altar the heart and the lips of His servant, and has managed so far In history to prosper mightily without the complacent egotism of the human mind. The great congregation* of the Tabernacle and the public of Atlanta owe It to this evangelist, Gypsy Smith, to go out ^n full and swelling numbers on this Friday night to tbe only paid service which ho holds and hear him tell the wonderful story of hls wonderful life. IN ADVANCE OF THE TIMES By JAMES J. MONTAGUE. Genius—A man in advance of the times.—Popular Idee. When lean and hungry Caeslus ground hls slim and slippery knife. With tho Intent malevolent of having Caesar's life, A sooth-purveyor spotted him, and beat the streets of Rome To notify said Caesar that ‘twere safe to stay at home. “Not on your life!” the latter cried: "as soon as he attacks I'll draw my trusty forty-four and drop him In hls tracks.” There were no forty-fours those days—Poor Julu was In advance . Of the prevailing times—so far he never had a chance When Richard Third discovered that hls enemies had sicked The dogs of war upon him—that he wae—excuse us—licked. He did not make hls get-away with promptnese or dispatch, But readjusted Jauntily hls crown upon hls thatch. "There's lots of time,” he caroled: "I'll Just light a fresh cigar. My Kingdom, what there'* left of It. for one good motor car!” Alas, for fatuous Richard! He was many laps ahead Of current Jlmes, and now, poor chap. Is consequently dead. When polished off at Waterloo, tho noble Bonaparte Was warned by sundry marshals that he'd better get a start; "You haven't helped the English much,” they told him. scared and pale, And If you're caught they'll clap you In some strong, substantial Jail.” "No danger,” quoth Napoleon, "ere they lay hands on me I'll board my lightsome airship and go sailing o'er the eea!” That hunch about the alrablp was prophetic genius, yet It lost the brilliant conqueror hls one and last best bet. MORE PRESBYTERIANS IN RETROSPECT I THAN WE COUNTED. DREAMED A DREAM. To tho Editor of The Georgian: Your strong appeal In behalf of the Presbyterian Hospital In your Issue of March 22 was In line with your usual broad and helpful policy. In the editorial, however, you pay a left-handed compliment to a great church which does It, as well as other churches working In Georgia, a serious Injustice. You say: "The Presbyterian Is the smallest denomination numerically In the state.” You doubtless have In mind only the Baptist and Methodist churches, both of which outrank the Presbyterian church In Georgia. You forget that, In addition to these, the Episcopal, the Christian and the Con gregational churches have a considera ble membership In the state, though, of course, much less than the Presbyte rian membership. You further say: "In the country outside of Atlanta its (Presbyterian) numbers are comparatively few and Its wealth trivial." Surely, Mr. Editor, your pen slipped, or the printer played havoc with copy, or “Great Homer nodded." Certainly you should know that the Presbyterian membership of Atlantans not more than (.000, while the Presbyterian membership of the state is tb,000. In all the cities, and In many of the towns, as well as In not a few country districts, our brethren of other denominations acknowledge the Presbyterian church as a definite and respectable force for righteousness. Every year these churches outside of Atlanta send scores of members .to re cruit tho ranks of the Capital City Presbyterians, a fact which the pastors of the various churches gladly and readily acknowledge. We who are outside of Atlanta re joice that there aro many wealthy Presbyterians in our Capital City, though wealth la the least asset In living church. Yet, for the last eccle slaatlcal year of which we have official record, Atlanta Presbyterians gave to missions and general benevolent ob jects a little more than Jll.000, while the Presbyterians In other parts of the state gave 830,000. This manifests a generous spirit on the part'of the Pres byterians of your city, but It docs not Justify the inference which would be drawn from the statement that "Its members aro comparatively few and Its wealth trivial” outside of Atlanta. It may be a matter of surprise to You, also, to know that long before the philanthropic spirit of dear Dr. Holder- by conceived the Idea of a hospital a similar Institution was in efficient op eration In Savannah, the expression of the broad generosity of Presbyterians. This hospital Is still one of the valua ble and rherlshcd Institutions of our city by the sea. It is said. Mr. Editor, that the aver age New Yorker Is the most provincial of any person In the country, being utterly unable to conceive of anything of Interest nr Importance outside of .Manhattan. We who love our Gate City can not contemplate with equanimity u similar fate overtaking the citizens of our metropolis. Hence these lines. Sincerely yours, D. W* BRANNEN. Mllledgevllle, Ga. A PERSONAL REASON AGAIN8T ALTERNATING JUDGES. To the Editor of The Georgian: We rise to remark that we. are hard end faat against tho proposition to al ternate the Judges of the superior courts, sending them from one circuit to another to hold court. This le nothing more nor less than a sneaking scheme to take from us our own Judge Charles H. Brand, one of the b“«t nnd wisest Judges that ever went Into a court house. To the writer In a recent Issue of The Georgian who advocated this new scheme we would say that while we don't like to be selfish, we think you ought to have done like us folks of the western circuit—selected u man who would render Just and Impartial de cisions and instead of having pets among the attorneys, showing n par tiality to some and an enmity toward others, as this writer says some Judges do, would give everyone a square deal according to law, ns does Judge Brand. If all the Judges were like Judge Brand, crime would greatly decrease in out- state and peace and happiness would reign In many homes where there are misery and suffering on ac count of lawlessness. No, my dear writer. Just .because some circuits have had Judges on their hands, don't try to swap them off on us for the real article. Just wait until the day of the next election roils around and retire the kind you speak of tn private life and get a man of the right kind In his place. No. elr-ree. the good folks of the western circuit are not going to listen to such a proposition. When we net hold of a good thing. Instead of push ing It along, we keep It. WILLIE 8. LAMER. Sparham, Ga. To the Editor of The Georgian: There la nothing more delightful, There Is nothing more sublime, There Is naught that’s half sco bllthcful As la music's blessed chime. When the girls are all at meeting, Bind when beaux and charming belles Are assembled together eating And a-drlnklng from the wells, Won't you Join me In the revel And go back a few decades. Where never a road waa level. Where never a memory fades, Where country cousins gather When the gentle spring has come, And welcome Ideal weather, And talk of sweethearta some? Go back with me, oh happy bands, In fancy's sweetest dream, • Where lads and lassies Joined hands And frolicked on the green, When hooks and rode were In demand, When mother spun the line. Where In fisherman's promised land, We roamed In summer time. Oh. comrades of my childhood. Can we ne'er go back to see, Can we ne’er stroll through the wild- wood, With our hearts chock full of glee? For retrospection's happy hours .Those scenes come back to me— I pluck flowers from the bowers Of a precious memory. HENRY CLINTON WEST. Birmingham, Ala. “JEROME AND HYDE."

No Man Should Preach Reform Who Does Not Put His Theories Into Practice in Every-Day Life iorni; inni i wai n rooi. n sei nnd other unpleasant thing*. indlguQut mnn «nld I wn* M n an.’* and urt-mod to think th By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. (Copyright. 190Jf by Amertcnn-Journat-Kxnminer.) OME time ago, I expri»**ed the Idea cultivated.

I h«Te been u atnpld and Indolent fool, nnd I have not learned to read, go I enn not speak from knowledge. Beware of my example, nnd all learn to read.” Just go It Is perfectly proper for the f reedy, Ill-tempered and Intolerant man y *ay to the public: “Avoid my example, I am a type of whoit: your present condi* tlons produce. Men like me are the cans* and the result of your system. Fleo from me^nnd work for socialism and brother- If we nre determined to preach to our fellow-men. to carry force in this world, wo must either be n warning or an ex ample. We all have Ideals beyond oor reach, to be sure, yet we can at least struggle towsrd their attainment. Reform Begins at Homs. > Some of ua nre trying with might and main to reach the standard we believe to be the right one. We stumble and fall, but rise nnd. try again. Others are only talking standards and making no effort to attain them. They will tell you It lg not their fault, but the fault of modem condi tions. Just as sensible Is It to gay that, the fault of the temperance lecturer who walks the streets In a state of Inebriety Is not In himself, but In the law which al lows the drink to be manufactured nnd •old. S that no raau bad a moral ri; talk reform of our social conditions until he practiced the methods of un selfishness—which all reform mean*—In hls home, hls social life, and, so far as waa possible, lu hls business. This expression of my belief brought a storm or protests and criticisms. Flocks of letters twit angry wings about my bead like Infuriated tea gulls. I was told I had do business to write on re form; thnt I was a fool, a sentimentalist One very . mere worn- the reproach of thnt term would be withering. Two or three dignified und moderate letters of protest impressed me with the conviction that I hod not fully couveyed my tneaulng. Preaching and Praotice. \ My Idea was not that every man should wait until every other man had been taught self-control before he preached re form, nor that the work of reformation should confine Itself to Individuals. What I do maintain—nud will with my dying brpnth—Is thst no man has nny right to preach, talk or write on the beauties of brotherhood nnd unselflshncps until he himself lives as true to those principles as is possible at tbe preseut epoch. He can at least Illustrate them In h s home life, with hls employees or with hls employers, nnd In hls relations with hls friends. Here he can be considerate, lib- eml-mludrd. Just and humane, however he may be obliged to push «ud Jostle lu the business part of competition. Some of my critics may contend that because of this competitive system man's nature baa become loo warped to enable him to use hla better qualities until ho la forced into their use by changed con ditions. That may b« to-S degree true of the unthinking many, but it is the think ing few to whom these words nre ad dressed. Any mnn who hns the brnln to think reform in religion, politics or econom ics hns the will power to teach himself reform. ITe who Is a niggard with a wife, a petty tyrant with hls children, a slave- driver with hls domestics, a backbiter with his neighbors and a cruel mnn to his deg brotberhood. What do these words mean? Merely unselfishness, n regard for the rights of others ard a putting Into prac tice the command, lore one another. Try to Reach the Ideal. The man who employs none of these principles In hls domestic or social rela tions will not be fitted to adapt himself to hls dreamed of millennium when It ar rives. It will require qualities he has not tlciug nt home, but your words are doing nothing for humanity if you are nagging or neglecting your wives, making a wretch* ed home for your children or misusing your servants, your animals or your employ ers. Universal Brotherhood. I believe In a universal brotherhood sod In co-operative methoda in business. But I maintain that no man can accomplish nny thing of value on these lines for hls fellows who does not begin hls illustrations at home. Make thy life better than thy work. Too oft Our artists spend their skill In rounding soft.
