THE ATLANTA GEOK(HA N AND JN b vv o. ON'HAY. APTtn, 22. lS'T. GOOD GOVERNMENT, WJTHOUT REGARD TO NAMES, IS WHAT IS WANTEL 1 BY THE PRACTICAL CITIZEN OF TODAY John Temple Graves Speaks Before the Iroquois Club. CHAMP CLARK PAYS TRIBUTE TO SPEAKER Gathering of Democrats at Chicago Winds Up in Big Love-Feast. Chicago, April 11.—Prominent men from many sections of the country were prceent at the twenty-ieventh annual banquet of the Iroquois Democratic Club Saturday evening. Some of the speakers were Gilbert it. Hitchcock, of Omaha, whose subject was "The Radi cal Vindicated;" Benjamin J, Shively, of South Bend, Ind., who spoke on "Old Faiths and Hew Conditions;" John Temple Graves, of Atlanta. Go., who discussed "Principles* 1 Parties and Men;" Edwin M. Grout, of Brooklyn, N. V., who spoke on "The Patron Saint of Democracy," and Champ Clark, of Missouri, whose sobject was "Demo cratic Opportunity." Mr. Clark and Mr. Grout opposed the suggestion made by Mr. Graves that under certain conditions It would be proper for Bryan to nominate Mr. Roosevelt for the presidency. Mr. Clark began his speech by say ing: ‘There are three great orators In America—Bryan, Bourke Cock ran and John Temple Graves. South of Mason and Dixon's line I lore and honor no man more than Jobn Temple Graves.' The Iroquois banquet was char get with great, good fellowship and andet In a love feast. Colonel Graves’ Speech. Following is Colonel Graves' speech: I count myself happy, Mr. President, and gentlemen of the on mo party remains 0 thcHo Initial principles I am to It by the faith which my 1 pledged and by the faith to Iroquois Club, to be the guest and comrade of the strongest Democratic organisation In all the middle west. And It seems to me an especial sub ject for congratulation that a confer ence and council at this vital and Im portant period of our party history should be held under auspices in whlcn the open mind and fearless speech have always typed the highest and most ys typed t? ■■■ hopeful promise of democracy. The Iroquois Club has never shut Its ear to free speech and to fearless counsel when there was the faith of honesty behind spoken words, and Its rec ord of entertainment, as rich In liber ality as It is In loyalty, makes It an arena without a superior for the discussion of patriotic creed and op portunity. I have no desire, Mr. President, to be regarded either as a revolutionist or a dreamer. I seek no sensation and I state no view which Is not tny own and sincerely my own both of my civic conscience and of my civic responsibility. If I have been over frank In previous statements which have been chronicled, I am not less loyal than the most conservative of you to the Interests of the country and to the real Interests of the party to which we all belong. If I have spoken on another day be yond the limit of party orthodoxy It Is because my eyes have been opened to a condition of affaire which 1 have not known before. I am looking now with open eyee where I have been accustomed to grope In heredity ahd tradition. I am seeing things, not In the night time, but In the open day, and I should be less than loyal and less than honest If I failed to express my convictions of my party's future and of the people's weal. But me add Just this, that If you do not do what 1 have counseled you to do, I cannot do It by myself, and If you cannot go with me, I shall doubtless without dogmatic obstinacy go with you. Whon the general council Is concluded and when the roll of the rank Is called I shall be found lighting as I have always fought behind the organisation to which ray fathers pledged their faith and which, beyond my Individual vision of any present opportunity and duty, carries the permanent hope of the people and tho best construction of the government. I have never been a bolter democrat than I am tonight. I have never been more hopeful of ultimate democracy than I am tonight. I believe, however, in the ancient e». sence rather than In the Individual eon' structlon of the creed. Ours was a party formed for the plain people of this country. Its shibboleth was "equal rights to all and special privileges to none." It stood against the tariffs that plundered the many for the sake of the few. It stood for the reserved rights of the states, and an honest administration of the gov ernment. This was the party to which my fathers pledged their faith. It was the creed around which they formed a loyal organization to put those principles Into government and law. So Jong as the party remains true to these Initial bound fathers which I am pledged through them and by myself. When It forgets‘this creed or goes beyond It or bolow It, the obligation Is weakened both In hered ity and In common sense. I bellevo that you who think will agree with me that party ties In general have never held so lightly as they do to. day. North and South In Republican and In Democratic ranks personal loy alty hangg here and yonder by a hair. Tho Republican party formed upon the federalist Idea and reborn and pored upon the tides of abolition progressed beyond the federalist theory to privilege and beyond the ontl-elavcry agitation to graft. The Democratic party, fashioned In tho nimo and Interest of the people, has been recruited so rapidly from the ranks of tho mighty In trade that Its shibboleths have weakened, Its plat forms havo truckled, and In the last campaign It nominated a candidate whose actual spoken commendation was basod primarily and fundamental ly upon the bald nnd Infamous con fession that "he was not offensive to the trusts." The rank and file of the Republican party, long since befuddled by Its creeds, are In protest against Its ten dencies and are only held In leash by the hernia memories of the civil war and the prejudices which set them against the section which formed the oppo site party's base. The Democratic party, many times misled and sometimes betrayed by Its leaders, are barred as well by prejudice of section and held aloof from the free expression of their civic consciences the differences of thCse organizations or to set them right again. What democrat of the definite stripe Is to tell Belmont and Ryan that they do not hinder but becloud the promise of a definite and plain democracy? What conservative democrat, save Alton B. Parker with his confreres,, has been strong enough to put Bryan to dlsromflteure and bring Hearat shame. What republican Is strong enough to reduce the Irrepressible Roosevelt to the ranks of the orthodox In privilege? And what republican, save Roosevelt, can coerce the thronged magnates of is trusts to a proper humlHty? How are statesmen and patriots to evolve from this tangle of terms and this conflict of policies a pure demo cracy of equal rights, or an orthodox republicanism of conservative prlvll ege? Where la the hope In parties of an honest alignment, of honest thinkers and of honest voters, outside of rebirth and regeneration? Where Is the process of elimination that will make parties mean real poli tical creeds, unless we have a new start and a square deal? - How are Tom Smith and Bill John' son and the higher office'holders and demagogues even to find breath and boldness to vote as they think unless the tradition of section Is obliterated and the memory of the war Is blotted out of the records? How are we going to make parties that will win real followers and re cruit organizations that will enlist genuine zeal? At the foundation of everything stands the people. For the people and of the people Is The Real Value If you have headache or neuralgia you want relief; want it quick. Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills stop tho pain in just a few minutes. But their real value lies in the fact that they leave no had after effects. They do not create nausea or derange the stomach. Nothing can therefore take the place of Anti- Pain Pills for the relief of headache or other pain.

While In both rinks th« aspirants for office, the eundldatoe tor station In the higher liner, are met and reinforced In ralflih nnd unthinking loyalty by the Tom Smiths and Bill Johnsons who, with their eyee fixed on email Jobe In the federal atatlona or In the county offices of the eeveral etates, are filled with fear leet they ehall disturb tint pure party record that maker them fit for partisan selection and reward. Beyond theite stands the great un- eelfieh and unaspiring rank of citizen ship. anxious only for good government and for prosperous laws, who are grow. Ing restless under the plaything which politicians are making of the ballot and the platforms of each presidential year. Tfi the days In which our fathers fought, the people followed their lead ers In blind devotion. Doctrinaires and theorists, honest and designing, stood up nnd preached In mighty earnest ness tho opposing tliporles of the gov ernment. Tho doctrines over which Hamilton and Jefferson divided, were ploaded for hours upon the hustings anil the farmers, the artisans and the citi zens tooks their doctrines from Jack- son, Jefferson and Calhoun, from Ham ilton. Marshall and Lincoln, blindly and loyally even as our earlier fathers followed Moses and the prophets In their faith. The people who followed oracles In those early days believed that life or death depended upon the tri umph of states' rights or otherwise up on a strong -central government. But times havo changed and men havo changed with them. The cheap newspapers and tha rural mail delivery have builded the clear est and tha moat practical democracy in tha world. The people know more than they luivo ever known before. They see clearer and they think more Individually than they ever thought before. In the shadow of the past atands tha theoretical statesman. In tha sunlight of tha present lives and labors the practical citizen. The man who gela hla mall from the little box, placed by the government In front of his gnte. may read with In ternet the long-winded theories and the passionate protean of men on ei ther side upon the peril* of a high tariff and upon the neceaalty of the federal Idra. But when he hae read his papi he flings it aside and falls to thinking what are the beat policies to bring bet ter prices for his crops and cheaper transportation far hit product* to and from the farm? Th* practical citizan In a practical age has patted the pos sibility of being put In a panic over the possible triumph of statea’ rights er a central government. He is only vaguely conscious of tho pros and corn of a protootlve tariff, but what ho dooe know or what he does believe is that the trusts and tho corporations are rob- bing hit pocketbook and corrupting hit political campaigns, and that he is for tho man end the policies that will halt the robber and re-astabllah equality In trad* and honesty among men. THE PRACTICAL CITIZEN—AND HE IS NINE-TENTHS OF THE RE PUBLIC-CARES LE8S THAN HE EVER DID BEFORE FOR NAMES AND THEORIE8. HE IS LESS FRIGHTENED AND LESS INSPIRED THAN HE EVER WA8 BEFORE BY SHIBBOLETHS AND ' ORGANIZA TIONS. WHAT HE FEARS IS NOT OSTRACISM BUT PRACTICAL DAM AGE TO WHAT HE PRODUCE8. WHAT HE WANT8 18 GOOD GOV- ERNMENT WITHOUT REGARD TO NAMES. He realizes that for a score of years In h<> own life and in the traditions of his fathers' lives he hae heard these old theories of government fought and frayed by politicians upon the hustings. He has seen them rise end fall, first In the triumph of on* party and then In the success nf the other. He has teen the exaltation In government. In whole or In part, of theories which he was taught by one side would de stroy the republic and on the other side would make It great and free. He has lived In himself and in his father's memories to esc, that no matter which side wts on top, God reigned,and the government at Washington still lived " And so the voter of this enlightened day has come to be a practical and patriotic citizen Instead of a timid partisan or a theoretical doctrinaire. Meanwhile each party has outgrown Its creed nnd outlived the confldnece of Its followers. They are each top- heavy with selfishness and split to fragments by material divisions. Wor/e than this there seems to be no medi cine suggested er developed to heal or ought to be the government. And out of our different theories of the. government for the real welfare of the whole people we have developed parties. Party names are nothing; their poll cles are everything. Party traditions are Interesting; their results are all es sential. Parties are to be measured not by their fair leaves of promise but by the fruit of fine fulfillment. If ever we are to set free government ui>on a plane above the office-holder and the politician that time Is now. From tho stalwart ranks of eithor party, frekn the opposite sides of tho re public, from the rich and finished east and from the militant and virile west, there have risen and grown and broad ened two gleet men who, more than all others, are prevailing now to de throne the partisan and to uplift the patriot. They are great because they are above the partisan. Mr. Bryan la great because In all his life he has never feared or hesitated to champion his convictions against his party, and to put them In balance against hie personal Interest. He le the first democrat of the world today. But ho la a composite demo crat In his present creeds. -With the bulk of his doctrine, bom of a modem democracy, there are shining sentences of his belief that came from the Popu list party, and that great economic proposition to which he bravely linked his name In Madison Garden was a g raft pure and simple from the dying osom of that old farmer band which breathed Its honest doctrines fresh from tho soli Into our material politics, and passed unstained to (he vindication of time. Mr, Roosevelt has grown great only because he too has risen above the par tisan. Born and prospered In the camps of privilege, he came with a brave heart and an open mind to Washington. He followed orthodox In the wake of hie party and In tho paths of hla predecessor. IJut ono day Wm. R. Hearat Hung at his feet an array of unanswerable statistics to prove the baneful existence and Iniquity of the trusts. The ehallenge rang against a bruvs man's shield and Theodore Roosevelt was never tho same man again. He buckled on his sword and went forth to war with tho merger of those northern railroads under Hill and Harrlmun. Ho has never sheathed since then the blade he bared In our Democratic battle against corporate greed ami profit. There are no other men who mean as much or loom as large as he. —tho two greatest men In oil the country —the greatest men In all the world. By the record they stand, each for righteousness and Justice everywhere. Ry the record they are tho unmatched champions of tho peopto In the eupre- most crisis of the peoples’ need Democratic Republican or Republican Democrat, It matter* not. They are American statesmen and -patriots In every puleo. They towor like Saul among the hosts of Israel. One or the other of these men should establish order and Justice In this crisis of our economic life. One or the other of these men should.bo the president and pilot of the people In these tremendous times. Either Is worthy. Each de serves. The question le not what should be but, which can be? The partisan may make prompt an swer and win applause from either side.

My fellow Democrats It Is with you. have said my say In counsel. When ;rour voice Is given either way, I shall fall In rank and follow and light—to the uttermost line of the battle. Conditions are In an upheaval and tha country Is In uncertainty and un. rest. The republic wants a new deal In parties and men. The problems are pressing. Bryan and Roosevelt hold the keys. Thoy are the most potential figures In this tremendous day. They know end respect each other. Bryan has paid tribute to Roosevelt and Roosevelt hae praised the political vir tues of Bryan. They are fighting In es sentials for the same great end. Be yond a few ancient theories which have wrangled and waited for a hundred years—and can wait four more—they are captains In the same great eco nomic cause and have only to Join their hands for lasting victory. If our creeds are definite and the economic crisis tense, then the call for heroic action Is at hand. I should be ashamed of Bryan. If as a definite Dem. ocrat he did not prefer the direct Roosevelt to the Parker, who "was not offensive to the trusts." I should lose my faith In Roosevelt, If as a Demo- cratlc-Republlcan he would not a thou sand times prefer the patriot Bryan to Forakcr. the champion of the trusts. It It was never true before In all hl«. tory. It le true today, that these two men loading opposite factions have on their Ups the power to change the faci of parties and to regenerate the repub. lie’s life. One word from Bryan would send back Roosevelt omnipotent to the white houie. One word from Roose velt would Jutt as surely make Bryan president and clothe him with the pow er for reform. Roosevelt could elect Bryan almost as easily aa Bryan could re-elect the president. Never was such power—never euch opportunity—and never such responsibility In four Amer ican hands before. These great men are merely tangled over terms. They are enmeshed In names. They are held In check by words. Tribunes of the people, soldiers In a common cause, champions of lib erty, they are afraid of parties and abashed by shibboleths. And yet. In all our world they stand alone fronting the opportunity and the Immortality of transcendent patriotism. The obliga tion Is even upon each.

RAT CAUGHT FLIES FOR SUNDA y BREAKFAST Which do you prefer—rate or files? Or did you ever try a rat as a fly catcher? Sunday morning etrollen In White hall street were given something new to Interest them In the window of a grocery store. The store was closed for the day and Inside one or the show windows a swarm of files was buszlng against the glass. Suddenly a black nose and a pair of bright, beady eyes appeared at the bottom of the aash. Thera was a lightning pounce and a fly disappeared down the throat of a big rat, which had crept out of hla hole In queet of hli morning meal. One bystander drew near to watch the fiy-catcher, and thle attracted more. In a moment or two there were a dozen watchers. Mr. Rat kept stead ily at hi* work until some ono rapped on tho window pane. Then, for the flrat time, he seemed to notice hie spec tators, nnd with a flirt of his tall he made a rapid exit from the window. But In the three minutes he had been at work an onlooker counted twenty- eight flies which had contributed to Mr. Rat's breakfast.
