To the Editor of The Georgian: Let me most heartily Indorse the editorial In last night's paper on the work of the Young Woman’s , Christian Association. It will be a deplorable calamity to the city of Atlanta If the excel lent work that the. association la doing should cease, on account of non-support It la truly a too [to- tent factor In our community to allow to languish and dlo because enough women and men do not give It tbo llnnncl.il aid It rightly deserves. Aro there not fitly men and wo men In this city who would under write the work to tbo extent of promising $100 per year for n pe riod of five years? I will gladly be one of thla num ber. Investigation has proven to mo without the question of a doubt that the organisation does stretch forth n protecting hand. Many n womnn comes to the city of At lanta with no friends, no homo nml no one to think anything at all about her. While we are looking after tho men and young boys, surely, surely we should consider tho women, who must necessarily bo as great a factor In our city's history ns the men themselves. This Is a personal letter to you, but If you can use It In any wise to stimulate tho effort to re-estab lish tho work, you can use It ns you see fit. I do not consider tho work of the Young Woman's Christian Association a charity, but a vital necessity to tho uplift ing morally and spiritually of our civic life. Yours sincerely, FREDERIC J. PAXON. Atlanta, Oa., April It.. The name signed to this letter car ries tho guarantee not only of personal liberality In Its practical contribution but Is also a fair sponsor for the state ment that the writer knows exactly what he Is talking about In connection with the Young Woman's Christian As sociation. Mr. Paxon la one of tha'strongest business factors of Atlanta. Ai one of tho heads of a great department store, having under Its charge and direction a multitude of young women, who are the friends and comradea of other mul titudes of young women In other great department atorea and offices,, he speaks not from theory, but by the card of experience, when he Indorsee the profound beneficence of this Christian Institution for the care and protection of the young women of the city and the state., As The Georgian has pointed out be fore. this* Is the day when our young women mean to us even In commerce not only as much as men, but when we must recognise their danger as fully as great, and the necessity for their protection every whit as urgent as tt la for the young men In contact with the world. A glance at the managing list of the Young Women’s Christian Association shows that tt doea not Include nearly the number of names which are Its due among the good, noble atM helpful women of Atlanta. Those who are there are among the beet end most useful of their useful sex, but the Hit ought to be twice aa large and the In come of the association double In ev ery way. What nobler thing can the good wo men of Atlanta do than to take care ot their own young and needy slaters struggling In the great world of trade? What nobler line of beneficence for women than the care of women? What higher appeal to a woman's heart and life than the consideration for her lit tle sister not so happy and comforta- b.i- n- l.cisell? Surely the spirit which moves Mr. Paxon's generous contribution should find an answer first among the women and (ben among the men who make Atlanta. Surely there should be found fifty women and men whe will give $100 every year for five years to solidify the standing and pdrporuate the noble and\protectlng influence of the Young Women’s Christian Association, And If not fifty women alone, then surely fifty women and men combined. THE “MILK IN THE PENDLETON COCOANUT.” Is It possible that our old friend of The Macon Telegraph Is also tn the ranks of those who speak maliciously of their contemporaries who have dared to give some good advice to Mr. Bryan and the Democratic party? And la this new eruption of Pendletonla all on account of The. Tele graph's consuming devotion to Bryan? Since when has the Pendleton pen begun to leak Its lachrymal tender, ness for the Nebraskan? Yea, since when? Listen: Not three years ago and Just about tho time the Pendleton pen, was unllmbering its most sepulchral advocacy behind the funeral pro cession of Alton B. Parker to one dark November evening of 1904, there appeared on the editorial sheet of The Telegraph, first column, head of page, the meanest, most malignant, most unjustifiable and most untruthful denunciation of William J. Bryan that has appeared In any paper. Demo cratic or Republican, North'or South, black or white, alnce the Nebraska statesman came Into the public world. It bolds the record today among all public prints for unwarranted abuse of the great and stainless states man whom every real Democrat now and always delights- to honor. And yet, before the years have rounded a quadrangle, comes the ssme Pendleton profuse In his crocodile tears over the selfsame Bryan while he makes haste to reestablish his allegiance by reflecting upon an honest contemporary who defended Bryan then from the scarcely reputa ble assault of The Telegraph and has always defended and eulogized the one great leader of the Democratic host. And since when has the Pendleton record for Democracy been so good that It can presume to aaperie the loyalty and sincerity of men who have always stood for real Democracy? If The Telegraph has been anything saYe a railroad organ for these ten years no man tn Georgia has ever dis covered It. We have not Joined In the charge of some of Its contempo raries that the railroads own the paper. They really do not need to buy It. They own It without the expendi ture of a dollar, for nothing that they own or ever owned la more unchang ingly loyal to the railroad aide of every question than the organ of the Pendletons. And here, whon the railroad regulation Issue Is the great transcendent question of the times, comes our gallant and consistent Pharisee, swallow- Ing the venom which he spat at Bryan In 1904, and hoping to hold one aide of his journalistic anatomy on the Bryan government-ownership side of the fence, while be swinge the other Into the smiling corporation mead owa aa of old, and fights the only man who endangers the freight and passenger magnates with whom he trains. Charming Instrument thla Pendleton pen! So radiant In Its consis tency! Do you know what's the matter with The Telegraph? Take this: Rooievelt Is fighting the railroads as they have never been fought before. The milk In the Pendleton cocoanut Is there. OHIO’S FATEFUL FIOHT. There Is nothing more Interesting In American politics than the cam paign In Ohio. It Is a big struggle between big men with largo Interests In the bal ance. If Taft and Roosevelt win it seems to make definite the orthodox view that Taft will be tho nominee of the Republican party with the president behind him. If Dick and Foraker win then the chances are very strong thnt the success of Foraker will force Roosevelt once more Into the race to dofeat the Foraker (notion and nil that It represents. Ohio Is always a doubtful state—rarely doubtful on tbo question as to whether It will go Democratic or Republican, hut always doubtful as to which Republican faction will win In any given campaign. The external advantages of the campaign nt this time seem to bo in Foraker's favor. Tho old machine on which Mark linnna rode for. so tnany triumphant years was the Joint structure of himself and tho present Senator Dick. Foraker was In opposition and so a now machine built of the old Hanna-Dlck faction with Foraker, once tn rebellion, and now tn full co-operation, would aeom to tnako up a very formidable political following. On tho other hand stand the Federal office-holders, the personal pop ularity of Secretary Teft who, however, has not been a personally active figure In Ohio politics for a number of years, and over nil the Federal office-holders and tho enormous personal prestige of the president. This ought to make a good ripping battle between the heavy weights of tne Republican camp. Unfortunately, however, there aro nearly 80,000 negroes tn Ohio and with a close vote between tho factions thoy might be able to make tho balance of power. (This Is one reason why the negro Is so dearly hated and so servilely courted In the Buckeye State.) It remains to be seen whether In tbo coming faction they will fight for Foraker who championed their murderous festivities at Brownsville, or whether they will cut the whole Republican party aa they have sworn to do and vote for Bryan. Foraker la a magnificent campaigner and Dlek la a magnificent organ izer. Foraker la an eloquent, aggressive and winning factor on the political stump. Secretary Tatt It one of the most popular men In the country, but an Indifferent speaker and without great experience In state cam- palgna. He Is also handicapped by the apprehension that It Is beneath the dignity of a cabinet officer to ongage lit a personal scramble upon the hustings. It it Impossible from this estimate to reach any other conclusion than that the balance of probability seems to be lit Foraker's favor. But Foraker In this case Is between the "Devil and the Deep Blue See." If he loses to Taft he Is likely to lose his seat In the senate. If he defeats Taft he le likely to succeed In renominating Roosevelt, which Is the thing of all others tflat he would moat vitally object to doing. And ao In this fight among our friends, the enemy, we can afford to wish them a joyous joust at arms "and may the best man win.” . CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE TRUE? "The significance of such adeclaratlon by Mr. Graves, who ar dently and ably supports, both editorially and on the platform, re forms that Mr. Rryan has stood for and which Mr. Roosevelt has l>een putting Into practical effect, may well be taken Into all calcu lations. It shows that Southern Democrats have been thinking Jt Northern men have not. In conjunction with tho recent warning of Mr. Clark Howell In The Atlanta Constitution, it means a great deal. The editor of The Constitution, In discussing the situ ation the Democracy must face, warned his party that conditions might make it necessary for both parties to renominate the presi dent next year. It la truly a novel situation when Democrats and Republicans alike find In the able and aggressive man In the White House the Ideal champion of popular rights against insolent speculative in- tercets. Mr. Bryan and hts special representatives at Chattanoo ga thought It Inadvisable to let such a plea go before an audience gathered In Mr. Bryan's honor, but the gag they applied has given It a wider circulation and it la being discussed throughout the country as the most significant Indication of the trend of thought among patriotic Americans of all parties.—Buffalo Evening News, Saturday ISth.—(Black letters our own.) The editor of The News ts Mr. E. H. Butler, so recently Entertained In Atlanta, and ao cloaely associated while here with the editor of The Constitution. , Is it possible that The Constitution warned the Democratic party that "It might be necessary for both parties to nominate the president next year." Mr. Butler says ao, and Mr. Butler la a very able and experienced ed itor and very close to the editor In Atlanta for year*. Did The Constitu tion really do this "vaudeville stunt.” this “opera bouffe In politics?” And If ao, was The Constitution "merely joking,” and did'Mr. Butler "humor Mr. Howell” while Mr. Howell told him so? Alas! and have we merely followed In the wake of our contemporary? Aud la It now our duty to applaud, or shall we depreciate? 8hall we send over across the street such unflattering notices aa come to us through the malls? And shall we alyly publish the editorials of The Washington Star? And are we not alone In "vaudeville?" And must Mr. Bryan "humor” yet another? Can these thing* be and overcome us like a summer cloud? Alas! that thla discovery should have come to vex us! DR. BROUGHTON'S FRIENDS IN NEED. There Is always pathos In the spectacle of a strong man stricken down. Today Dr. Lea G. Broughton Is writhing In pain upon his bed at the hospital. He.Is Just out of the most strenuous period of his active ca reer. He.has fought with all his ransomed powers through a great Bible Conference which was mingled withhlB heroic effort for the completion of the great auditorium which he had planned. The dauntless courage and the tireless patience of these efforts combined have extorted the admira tion even of the few who are not his friends. And today one who came direct from Dr. Broughton's bedside of phys ical and mental pain for his own bodily sufferings and of anxious anguish for hla suffering and sorely injured wife, say that out of the Joint agony of this depression, there came from his clear eyes a tear and from his strong lips a groan which was expressed In the query, "Are all my trou bles coming to me In a flood?" If there are those In Atlanta who have been moved to admiration by Dr. Broughton's heroic struggle In the spiritual and material world, and who havo Intended at some time to help him In the great work which he hears upon his shoulders and In his heart, let us suggest that this Is the day ot days to do It A ring upon that telephone bell with a cheering message, a heart throb of sympathy with an assurance of regard, and better still, with a substan tial check for the tabernacle auditorium, will outweigh the surgeons and the anodynes in bringing peace and comfort to a brave and suffering man in need. THE PEOPLE AND THE PRESS CommenLon the Bryan-Graves Discussion The letters are so many and ao full, and the editorials ao numerous and so lengthy, that It is only possible to give the brief aalient extracts from lettara and. editorials. From a Strong Man of Tennessee. Nashville. Tenn., April 12. Hon. .John Temple Graves. My Dear Sir:—While I do not go as far us you do, I am greatly pleased with the boldness of your outspoken words. Had I aeen your paper before I wrote for tho Chattanooga Times, I might have been braver. Bryan Is severely criticised by the XRshvllle Banner for saying ho would act If he came to the conclusion It was his duty. Thla la a party paper's estimate of honesty. Very truly youra, A. S. COLYAR. Secretary of Jamaatown Exposition. Norfolk. Va„ April 13. 1907. Hon. John Temple Graves, Atlanta, Ga. I read very carefully your speech nt Chattanooga. I thoroughly agree with you In all that you said. If you will permit me, I would like to tell you how much I admired It It was indeed a very powerful speech In evry respect. Cordially youre, G. T. Sheppard. A Great-Grandson of John C. Calhoun, I’nlatkn, Kin., April It, 1907. Mr. John Temple Graves, Editor The Georgian: I am heartily In favor of your es pousal of the renomlnatlon of Roose velt. an I believe that he la a man with strong purity of purpose, who will stand firmly up for tho public weal. I am glnd that you delivered your speech, as you did. Your Florida friends have paid you many well deserved compli ments. Yours, affectionately, EDWARD NOBLE CALHOUN. From a Democratio Louisiana Lumber Man. Shreveport. La., April 11, 1907. Hon. John Temple Graves, Atlanta, Oa. : Pair mn—l dm to aasuro you of my relish of your Chattanooga speech. It nm:i.

Anv prmtlcal nilii-l.it first thought will not comprehend the meaning or be willing to acquiesce to your views, but tho slow process of time will commit to you followers the samo ns In the case ot Governor Folk of Missouri. Mr. Brian Is too able a purist to be presi dent. The practical, plutocrats would tie him hand and foot In the house and aonate. Roosevelt Is the man: he was reared among them and Is practical enough to beat them by keeping close tab on their mundane games which he learned S* police commletloner. Roose velt le the wartime prretdent; that le, with reference to eoclal war, which by the wey te the most dangerous kind of war, and when he has conquered and restored peace, which le bound to come In our great prosperous commonwealth, then le the time for William J. Bryan, that great lover of peace and purity and equity to step Into the saddle and perfect those Ideals for which he has ao nobly, strenuously and consistently fought. I heartily commend your speech, as do a majority of tho people here en gaged In that great and ascending pow. tr In the commercial world, the lumber Interests, pungent with purity and the smell of sawdust and turpentine. Very respectfully youre, SAM M. FULKERSON. A Great Georgia Cotton Grower. Hon. John Temple Graves. Atlanta, Ga.: Dear Friend—I have read with great pleasure your novel and brilliant speech before the Democratic Club at Chatta nooga and I want to add a word of commendation and praise for the man ly. outspoken statesmanship therein ex pressed. 1 know among the multitude of com mendatory letters you will receive from ell over the state mine will only be a drop In the bucket. I have taken special palne to read your liberal editorials In praise of the present administration to some of the "rocked-ribbed" "ultra Democrats" of this community to see If they would oppose or denounce them or the con trary. They universally praised them with the expressions. "That’* right." Them's my views," "That's what we want.” The people of the South are reading the newspapers aa acattered by the K. F. Die all over the state ae never before and are discussing national Issue* at every country store. The farmer*' or ganizations are discussing economic problems of national Importance at every country school house. An "exaggerated egotism" of the politician prevent* him from bowing • _ _. . _ ii.sam a etia t'/xl oa a Vela such an unprecedented turn In tho tide of politics would compel the president to accept such a practical .demonstra tion of universal popularity and con tinue In office for another four years. under Fnrnker nnd rallroat Influence would poll about as mnny votes In opposition as the So cialists and Prohibitionists. Such a nomination and election would be of special advantage to the South, as this section specially needs railroad legislation, for as a whole the people of tho South are patrons of the rail roads and not owners of railroad stocks. It believes In an Income tax, as no very lat’ge fortunes are here to be taxed. It believes In the speedy completion of the Panama Canal, as Its territory Is In close proximity to the benefits to be derived therefrom. It believes In the development of our merchant marine, as satin as the peo ple can ba educated to the extension of our muskets. The nomination and election of Presi dent Rooievelt by the aid of Democrat ic votes would obviate the necessity of referees In this and other Southern states for the control and appointment of Federal patronage; the Democrats representing the best citizenship here In the South would control Federal ap pointments. And what other man save Roosevelt can help the South to solve her great racial problems with honor to the whits man and Justice to the black. I sincerely thank you for the ad vanced step you have taken In South ern statesmanship. Very truly yours, CHARLES L. WHITE. Buckhead, Ga., April 12. , An Alabama Democrat. Hon, John Temple Graves, Atlanta,Ga. Sir—As a native Alabaman and life long Democrat, I am thoroughly In oc cord with your Idea thnt Theodore Roosevelt should bo nominated by ac t-lsrimtlnn fm- prcsldi-nt by the South ern Democrats at our next presidential convention. Yours truly. , JOE R. COOK. Panama Coal Company. The Mayor~of Vidalia. Hon. John Temple Grave*. Atlanta, Ga. My Dear Sir—Allow me to congratu late you for your patriotic and manly boldness In speaking your mind at the Bryan banquet In Chattanooga. You voiced the sentiments of thou sands of Georgians. You say that party loyalty Is good that Is true, but you reach the climax when you say that the cause of the people Is greater. What else can your argument he but the upholding of the true principles of Democracy, the bursting of tho bands of a narrow con fine that allows room for moans and pleadings for tha enactment ot laws thnt will strengthen the people's foun dations? But because they do not come through the efforts of a particu lar party, reject them aa tainted and polluted by the mere name of the party enacting them? Whoy should ths Dem ocratic party be discouraged? The principles are Just as good for tho Re publican party to reast upon as any other party. Yours truly. 8. B. MEADOWS, Mayor.

John Temple Graves, Atlanta, Ga.: It was a brave, manly and a most timely thing to do—that speech of f ours at Chattanooga. It required, as know, a courage of the highest order for Its deliverance. * And you are most unquestionably right. Roosevelt bids fair to go down in history as perhaps the greatest man thla country haa yet produced. It cer tainly has so far produced no truer or bolder exponent of real Democracy. ’ I bid you God speed. Cordially yours, D. M. SHOLARS. Leesvllle, La.. April It. Staunch Ohio Democrat. Hnn. John Temple Graves, Atlanta, Ga.: From The Newbraska State Journal, Lincoln, Kebr. John Temple Graves I* not the only Democrat of prominence who believes In the nomination of Theodore Roose velt by the Democratic national con vention. but he Is the only one who has had the temerity to suggest such a thing to Mr. Bryan's face. This Inci dent In Chattanooga must be looked upon ns the answer of tho South to the Harrlman assault. It will be the answer of the whole country to any attempt among Mr. Harrlman'e friends to buy the presidency away from the Influence of the present administration. Mr. Graves may have Imped liv this show of Democratic favor to embarrass 'the president with hie own party. But that Is hardly a credible assumption. Some people hoped that Democratic' support of the president’s railroad pol. Icy would hurt him with hts own party, but It did not. The public does not seem to be walking Into such traps nowadays. Mr. Graves may have had in mind to establish n claim on the Roosevelt Republicans for Rooievelt votes for a Democratic candidate tn case Rooievelt policies were not In dorsed by the nomination of a Roose velt Republican next year. That would be taking long chances, however, for this outcome Is an exceedingly remote contingency. The most remarkable as well as the most likely view of the matter Is that he means Just what he Implies, that there Is no uss In the Democrats nominating a candidate against a Republican who embodies the Roosevelt policies. Mr. Bryan, re plying to Mr. Graves, suggested that Senator LaFoMette would be the best Republican for the Democrats to nom Inate. Senator LaFollette was at that moment 2.900 miles away saying: "We must have Roosevelt again.” THE COUNTRY "DID iT WITH JAME8 MONROE. Army-Navy Orders ■—and— MOVEMENT OF VES8EL3. Washington.

Cer tainly he makes a unique bid for public interest In his power of political pre science when he suggests, as he did at the dinner to Mr. Bryan In Chat tanooga, that the gentleman who twice has been the Democratic candidate for president should nominate President Roosevelt as the Democratic candidate this year. Mr. Graves may be said only to have anticipated the expression In other S irs of the Idea of President velt as the logical candidate ot a non-partisan union of the great bulk ot the membership of both parties. It Is a fact that Rooseveltfsm today Is largely n non-partisan sentiment. There Is little partisan feeling toward President Roosevelt. He has enemies and loyal adherents in both parties. The only Instance of a non-partisan support of a president was In the cele tinned "era of good feelings" when James Monroe was the choice of alt parties. SAW NO USE IN LIVING. 80 MAN ENDED LIFE. Norfolk. Va.. April 17.—With the re mark that he could see no use In longer living, Russell B. Ward, a merchant and horse and cattle dealer of this city, killed himself tn Princes Anne county.

Columbus, Ga, April 17.—Yesterday was the forty-second anniversary of the rapture of Columbus by Wilson and his raider*. In April. 18(5. The Federal troops appeared on the Ala bama side of the river at 2 o'clock In the afternoon on Easter Sunday, and at 3 o'clock at night assaulted the works on the hills opposite this city, getting In the rear of the Confederate troops and surrounding them. Over 82.000,000 worth of property, both pub lic nml private, was destroyed before DAMAN DEALS It Is Likely Department of Justice Will Be Direct ed to Act. Washington, April 17.—It le said that President Roosevelt proposes to take Into his own hands tho dStermlnatkin as to whether an attempt ehall be made to 'break up the Harrlman railroad combination, and haa come to the con clusion that It le his duty to study the case from beginning to end.
