OUR PLATFORM: The Georgian and News stands for Atlanta’s owning 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 way* can be operated successfully by 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. THE ARMOR-PLATE.

Ga. “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.

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!
