OUR PLATFORM: The Georgian

Its own gas and electric light plants,
mil saw owns Its water works. Other
cities do this and get gas as low aa 60
cents, with a profit to the city. Thla
should be done at once. The Georgian
and News believes that If street rail

European cUles, aa thfty are, there la
no good reason why they can not be to
operated here. But we do not bellaye
this can be done now, and It may bo
some years before ws are ready for eo
big an undertaking. fltlll Atlanta
should aet It* face In that direction
NOW.
Southern Woodlands.
Tho Initial number of Southern
Woodland., a journal of forestry lum
bering. wood manufacture and related
sciences and Industries, has been Is
sued under the auspices of the Geor
gia Forest Association.
Thla vital publication Is edited by
Alfred Akerman, professor of forest
•nglneerlng at tba JJnlverstty of Geor
gia. Early In March Initial steps were
taken in Athens to form the forest as
sociation. and It glvea promise of be
ing an organisation of paramount Im
portance to tho state.
The purpoae of the association, and
of its official organ, I* aet out in the
by-laws as “to promote the science and
art of forestry-by the publication of
forest literature, by public meetings
for the dlscusalon of forest problems,
and by any other methods which may
from time to time be determined upon
by the association or Its executive
committee."
In tho Introductory remarks to the
Southern Woodlands It la stated:
"Forests are not only Important to
commerce and Industry, but their
presence exercises a benign Influence
on soil and climate." The association
and the publication deserve tbe en
couragement and hearty cooperation
of the public. No work can be so vital
to the future of the state aa the pres
ervation of Its forestry.
A Question of Bed Linens.
Michigan makes a bid for fame—or
to be moro accurate, notoriety.
Not long alnce an bumble but ear
nest and conscientious legislator of
that commonwealth Introduced a bill
to require Michigan hotels and board
ing bouses to furnish clean sheets and
pillow cases for their beds.
From personal knowledge and vica
rious experience with the public Inns
of tbe state, tbe legislator averred that
he knew whereof be spoke when he
stated that the sheets and pillow cov
ers were a disgrace to th% state and
an offense to the traveling public.
But be got the merry hoot for his
pains. His bill was passed along with
qulb and jest, booted and kicked about
tho open halls to furnish material for
crude witticisms, then It was Bent
down to the lanltary committee.
There It got the kibosh. That com
mittee apparently had about aa much
Idea of the sanitary value of fresh
laundered bed linen as it had about
most other questions concerning tbe
health of the public.
Which brings to mind complaints
from a certain class of persons from
the East and Northwest who come
down here. They kick loudly and
strenuously on the fifre, tbe bed linen
and everything else connected with
(Southern hostelries.
Yet yhen an honest man gets up
and says the conditions In Michigan
are such na to necessitate legislation,
he gets tbe ha-ha for hla efforts. Re
forms sometimes go better when in
augurated at home.
The water bonds am evidently going
to be made to play their proper part In
covering nny little present defects In
the system.
Might wa mildly suggest to some of
oar near contemporaries over anxious
about the •■proprieties.'’ that It la cus
tomary to apeak of n distinguished
Catholic prelate by hla dignified
ebureb title and not in the familiar
u of ' Gibbons."
"PEACE AT ANY PRICE.”
Mr. Carnegie In wrong In denouncing the atatement that peace Is to
be subordinate to righteousness and justice.
Mr. Carnegie's attitude seems to put peace above righteousness and
justice, and If so be is In opposition to history both human and divine.
The great peace conference in New York -hai. had a beneficent effect
upon our country and we trust upon the world. But Its mission la too
great and far-reaching to leave any salient errors In Its wake If Judgment
and reason can avoid them.
We may well concentrate all human agencies toward the arbitration
of differences and the bringing about of righteousness and justice so
aa to remove the necessity for war, but no peace can be permanent which
Is not held subordinate to the things greater than life.
"Peace at any price,” very properly says The Indianapolis Star, "may-
coat far moro than it Is worth whether nation or individual be concerned.
Probably It J* the experience of every man who dislikes contention or
litigation more than once to have yielded hla rights at the demand of oth
er* for the sake of peace, only to learn that hla surrender was the cause
of harm to all concerned. A sacrifice of justice In private life la always
harmful If In nothing more than encouraging selfishness In the persons
for whom tbe sacrifice la made.
"The same situation In an Intensified degree may exist In the case of
a nation. Inglorious peace may be more disastrous than war, and It Is
conceivable that a government and a people may be so confident of tho
righteousness of their cause that they can not agree to submit their dis
pute to arbitration without a sacrifice of national honor, for If the arbi
trators, not necessarily Infallible, should decide against them they would bo
left with a loss of self respect and the possession of such 'peace as only
cowards crave.'
“Mr. Roosevelt In a speech on one occasion indicated what such a
peace might be. 'To men of a certain kind,' he said, ‘trade and property
are far more sacred than life or honor, of far more consequence than the
great thoughts and lofty emotions which alone make a nation mighty.
These solemn prattlers strive after an Ideal which shall happily unite the
Imagination of a green grocer with tbe heart of a Bengalese baboon.’
Though Mr. Carnegie Is a commercial man he may not properly come un
der this classification, yet he lays himself open to criticism by virtually
placing peace above justice and honor.
"Peace for man or nation may under certain conditions mean weak
ness. W'hllo human nature continues as It Is the man and the government
ready to fight for their own will best bold their own respect and the re
spect of others. They may refrain from lighting, If they can do *o wlthqut
too much coat, but If they are wise they will follow Mr. Lowell's advice:
" ‘If you want peace, tbe thing you've got to do,
la Juat to show you're up to fighting, too.’
“The best arbitration can hope for la to encourage honorable peace,
not the peace that la Ignominious.”
A BIBB COUNTY RURAL POLICE.
The dtlxens living In the suburbs of Macon have petitioned the board
of commissioners of Bibb county to provide a force of rural police for
tho protection of tbe lives, liberty and property of the citizens.
The resolution was practically unanimous In Its signature and there
la every reason to believe that It will be considerately received and act
ed upon by the authorities appealed to. There was a movement two
years ago for rural police throughout the state advocated with Intelll-
gene* and earnestness by Representative Blackburn, of Fulton county. It
should have been passed then Just as the plea from tho suburban resi
dents of Macon ought to be passed now. Civilisation owes no higher debt
to tho people than to protect them In their lives and property. Whenever
In any section disorder becomes prevalent and menacing It la the duty
of the. government at any coat to protect the people. The only way to
prevent tho people from taking the law Into their own hands and visit
ing summary and sometimes Ill-considered vengeance, la to place the
agencies of the law at the service of our people for their protection and
defense.
In the absence of state law The Georgian trusts that the suburban
residents of Macon may be granted the protection they seek and that the
example established In their behalf may have its Influence In spreading
the Institution of rural police throughout the state.
THE DAUGHTERS AT WASHINGTON.
The national congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution,
now In annual session at Washington, D. C„ cannot, oven by the most con
servative, be termed a peace conference. Andrew Carnegie and hla as
sociates have undoubtedly cornered the harmony market for tho present.
There certainly la neither sweetness nor concord In the deliberations
of tho Daughtera at Washington. To persons remote from the seat of war.
It Is almost Impossible properly to estimate or thoroughly comprehend tbe
Issues at stake. Of course, It Is well known that an active fight hai been
made upon Mrs.* Donald McLean as prealdent general, and many firoml-
nent women have been anxious to prevent her re-election.
Mr*. McLean la a womau of many strong and admirable character
istics. During her term of office as president general, she baa been alert
to the dntlea appertaining to her position, nnd unalterably loyal to the or
ganisation which has so signally honored her. she Is popular with the
Daughters of the American Revolution In Georgia, a body of noble and
representative women, whose Indorsement of any woman carries with It
much weight and force, In all matters relating to the welfare of their Or
der.
Whatever shall be the outcome at Washington, the Georgia Daughtera
may be depended upon to lift up the hands and to lighten the burdens of
whomsoever may, be chosen to tfle elevated office of president general of
the organisation.
Such agitations as have existed during the past few days among the
Daughters of tho American Revolution throughout tho republic, because of
tl^e antagonism* in evidence at Washington, need not discourage any one
concerned about what Is being accomplished by women through organised
effort along patriotic lines. The work of the Daughters of the American
Revolution has been of Incalculable benefit to tho country at large. It
has been educative In tbe highest and beat sense, and hat accomplished
more for the Instruction of American children In the history of the coun
try than perhaps any other agency. It has done even more. In creating
a standard of American character, and of American cltlxenshlp. which
shall prove an Inspiration to tbe youth of the country.
Whatever - may extol and bring Into prominence the virtues and the
nobleneaa of past generation!, of necessity establishes an ideal which
should lusplre the men, women and children of the present day. The
laudation of those personal qualities which made possible the achievement
of American Independence, the preservation of historical relies, and the
careful arrangement of family ties and relationship, all contribute to awak
en In the minds of persons of all ages a respect and admiration for the
deeds of a splendid past, which will eventuate In loftier Ideals and in no
bler aspirations.
The little breexe at Washington will soon subside. Mrs. McLean's
friends and adherent* and Mrs. McLean's enemies and opponents will
finally accept the verdict to be registered Thursday In the ballot, and the
glorious work of tbe Daughters of the American Revolution will go for
ward. Impelled to a grander plane of activity through a thorough and more
complete understanding of their purposes by the American public.
Carnegie's peace congress may be more soothing and cheerful In Its
dally session!, bnt tbe Daughters of tbe American Revolution In local and
national organization can be depended upon to achieve results more be
neficent and uplifting to tbe men, women and children of the republic.
THE PEOPLE AND THE PRESS
Comment on the Bryan-Graves Discussion
The letters are so msny and so full, and ths editorial* so numerous
and so lengthy, that It Is only possible to give the brief eelient extracts
from letters and editorials. *
A Georgia Striking View.
The suggestion of Editor John Tem
ple Graves that Mr. Bryan nominate
Theodore Roosevelt on the floor of the
national Democratic convention next
year for a third term aa president of
the United States, has failed to meet
with hearty Indorsement from any
quarter, nor Is It likely that there will
be anything like a stampede In the di
rection of Mr. Graves’ proposition. Mr.
Bryan received It with evident Interest
and stated that he would give It tho
thoughtful consideration which It de-
>. i v0.1. It would Kf-oro t,, l„. more ;ip-
proprlate for Mr. Roosevelt to announce
Hint lie Is a Democrat than for Mi.-
Democratic party to swing corners,
even for one national election, with ita
ancient and honorablo record. In
other words, Mr. Roosevelt Is more
nearly a Democrat than the Democratic
party Is Republican. It would seem to
be an easier matter for one man than
for six to seven millions to make con
cessions.—Albany (Ga.) Herald, April
11th.

MY PRINCESS IN POINSETTIA.
Under summer iky uhflecked
la n garden gaily decked
With .scarlet flowers of flame
Formed by nature's atm.
Polnsettia blooms, profuse,
Bedlamonded with dew*.
There a girl of dreamy grace.
With fairy form and face.
Lingers 'mid the blooms bedlght.
Her eyes like liquid night.
She's the vestal of my vision.
Where nature's flowers of flame
Form a faultless setting
And nod to hear her name.
Her tresses, like the midnight.
Enframe her face so bright:
H»r eyes, like queenly Jewels,
Bright with beauty's light,
A sovereign of sweetness.
My star amid the night.

“Neither Illogical Nor Imposslbl,. 1
It la not at all Impossible that Bryan
should propose Roosevelt for president.
It may ba Improbable, but It Is not Im-
poeslble.
Bryan le much nearer to Roosevelt
politically than he Is to a large part of
the Democracy. Bryan would certainly
Support Roosevelt In preference to an
other Parker. But It Is not merely the
Eastern Parkers Bryan Is out of touch
with.
On Tuesday Senator Culberson, who
has been proposed for the Democratic
nomination, made n speech before the
Texas legislature which wee In effect an
answer to the epeeeft made before the
same body by ^lr. Bryan. '
Senator Culberson, recognizing the
logic of the situation, coupled Bryan
and Roosevelt when he referred to “the
underlying principle of Federal child
labor law as advocated by the presi
dent and some distinguished Demo
crats.” He coupled them In criticism,
for he continued:
Then Senator Culberson came to tbe
fundamental heresy of Bryanlsm:
“Government ownership and operation
of railways, which Is another of these
alarming heresies.”
Senator Culberson wa* praise itself
for the author of this heresy:
“The ablest and most distinguished
advocate of this doctrine In America In
notable speech last August In Madi
son Square Garden, New York—but. my
fellow citizens, much as I am attached
to him personally, much as I admire
his biamtless life, his unquestioned
sincerity, his ardent patriotism and his
splendid eloquence, and certain aa now
seems his nomination for the presiden
cy—I can not conceive that his views
on this question will ever receive the
approval of the Democracy of this
country." (Applause and cheers.)
But what Is Bryan guilty of? Is it
not of the centralising policy of Roose.
velt? “This doctrine will l/e such an
attack upon Individualism, such an at
tack upon tho dissemination of power
and such a tremendous stride toward
centralisation that If adopted by the
party It will be to commit to flames
Ha principles and Its proverbs nnd
strike from Its masthead the name of
Jefferson, the foremost political phil
osopher of all times.”
It I* easy to see that there Is more
than mere trifling In the proposal if
John Temple Graves. It Is neither
Illogical, nor Impossible, that Mr. Brj-un
should support President Roosevelt.
On, of the condition* that would make
It possible was named by Senator Cul
berson: “The Democratic party was
born In the South. It Is of ita essence
and Its being nnd the Southern Demo
crat* may yet be called upon to pre
serve the principles of the party Jron
perversion and the party Itself front
utter wreck and annihilation."—Des
Moines Register and Leader, April 13.
A Noble Possibility.
By a single startling speech made at
Chattanooga on Wednesday night Mr.
John Temple Graves, ths editor of The
Atlanta Georgian, and the man at
whose Democracy thgre seems to be
no cavil, lifted the curtain upon a most
fascinating vista of possibility. Wo
say possibility, because while hie sug
gestion that William J. Bryan will arise
In the next Democratic convention and
nominate Theodore Roosevelt aa the
party’s candidate- waa sensational In
the extreme. It wae not looking beyond
the range of events that may happen. It
Is. as a matter of fact, strictly In line
with that great and overwhelming sen
timent that The Journal has noted so
many times pointing toward the ro-
nomlnation of Mr. Roosevelt by the
whole people of theee United States.
And what said Mr. Bryan In reply to
that momentous suggestion? "If after
mature reflection.” he replied, “1 should
feel my duty lay In that direction I
should present Mr. Roosevelt’s name,
even though It should prove to be the
last act of my life."
There again loom* up the possibility,
for If William J. Bryan shall be con
vinced that the man to carry on the
work that* Is now distinguishing the
present administration Is Theodore
Roosevelt, no power on earth can pre
vent him from arising in the great na
tional gathering of Democrats next
summer and stating the faith that Is In
him. Who can say but that If that be
done a whirlwind of enthusiasm would
not spread through the convention and
•Mr. Bryan's wishes triumph gloriously?
All the better it would b* then If Mr.
Roosevelt were also the unopposed can
didate of the Republican party. In
that case, there would be an era of good
feeling, and of combined opposition to
the powers of greed and fraud ns has
never before been known by the 'Amer
ican nation.—Boston Journal, April 11.
What Thousands of Democrats Think.
The Ulrnilngbnm Dally Ledger:
When The Ledger flmt read Grave*’
speech. It felt ludigunnt: then It thought
It was Mr. Bryan's place to be Indignant.
The second thought wes that Graves came
pretiy near expressing ths feelings of the
party.
There Is n feeling that when a party
ran not carry out Its policy, nnd some other
study 11 ' Th ° Ufa™ speech Is worthy of
A Mississippi Protest.
The. Meridian Dally Star:
We have been accustomed to regard the
distinguished Georgian us n man of lead
ing nnd light; n dreamer, perhaps, as all
real statesmen are dreamers; as Thomas
Jsfferson and John C. Calhoun nnd Daniel
Webster end our own Lamar were dresm-
ate:, as his great fellow-townsman and
brother editor, Henry Grady, was a dream

mental and moral equipment did not di
minish our respect for Ids Intelligence or
the:worth of any soggeatlon that he might
make. We knew that ho had before con-
thls that he. wna Incapable of wise conoid

To the Editor of The Georgian:
In a dispatch from L#ondon Dr. Ken
nard, commlesloner of the Society of
Friends, who Investigated the famine
In Russia and Russian Poland, and es
pecially In Samara, the heart of the
famine district, says:
k “There are 20,000,000 people In the
southeastern province of Russia who,
without aid, can not-llve to see another
harvest. In Samara alone thousands
are slowly but surely starving;to death.
Think of It, you who spend the price of
a peasant’s wages for a cigar! They
must support an entire family* consist
ing of from six to twelve children, for
an entire week on 15 cents. Think of
It, you working men who make from
$4 to $10 a day. That amount must
clothe and feed them for almost a
year In that rigid climate. Think of
it, you who spend three times as much
for a hat. Godf pity them! When
a woman must leave her nurstoff chil
dren and do the work of a beast of bur
den! Think of those poor unfortunates
getting only one meal a day, consisting
of a very small piece of bread and a
bowl of soup. How can the poor nurs
ing mothers feed their babes when they
have nothing to give and are- starving
themselves?
"Think of It, you men who spend a
few hours or minutes In your office and
consider that working hard. Just sup
pose you had to work from 4 o’clock
In the morning till 7 o'clock at night,
doing the work of four men In s day,
and then see your wife and children
slowly starve to death before your eyes
nnd powerless to help or save!
“In Samara alone thousands are dy
ing and 750.000 nre starving. Of the
latter only 372,700 arc getting relief.
The commissioners especially appeal
for canned milk.”
He says there are 300,000 children

milk and are forced to eat coarse bread,
made of acorns, powdered wood and
cucumbers, resulting In thousands of

face* day by day and know they can
not help them, and unless they get
outside help they must starve! For
the sake of your own Innocent baby. I
