THE CRITICAL POINT IN THE LIGHTING AND POWER
NEGOTIATIONS.
The Imminent issue of Atlanta’s economic life at the present time Is
the conclusion of some definite arrangement for lights and power for
the next term of years.
Tho Georgian on yesterday commented upon the nature of tho bids
offered by the two power compsnles and congratulated the people upon
the evident nnd substantial victory won by the agitation for municipal
ownership.
Wo said then, and we aay again t4>day, that the critical point In these
negotiations revolve* around the prices charged to Individual consumers
for light* and power.
Of course, the first duty of public officials Is to protect the city and
to see that the city's contracts are well and wisely made.
But the public officials of Atlanta owe a duty as well to the private
Individuals who make up Its cltlxenshlp. The homes, tho factories and
the public and private Institutions of Individuals and of corporations
which must be lighted and warmed and whose machinery must be turn
ed, maka up an oven larger if not n more Immediate consideration to
those who represent Atlanta.
The officials of tho two lighting and power companies have Indicated
a willingness to confer In a reasonable spirit with the city** representa
tives on this Important point
And this It where our public aervants must Illustrate their greatest
discretion and tholr best loyalty to tho city of Atlanta.
Nelthor tho city nor the Individual should expect to extort any op
pressive terms from tho corporations, but on the other hand It Is eminently
necessary In vlow of recent public statements of costs which have been
made by experts emploj-ed by the city, that the best terms obtainable In
reason and justice should be secured by the city's representatives In this
conference.
Tho Georgian has - no desire to reflect la any way upon the Integrity
of the officials' of either lighting and power company in stressing
once more the importance of a critical observation of the wording of
contracts.
Wo take It for granted that the representatives of both the public
Interest and of corporate Interest will be watchful of their own advan
tages. Wo are quite certain that If we represented tho corporation, wo
would watch most closely tho wording of any contract which threatened
to entail a disadvantage upon our Interests In the future.
And In the same spirit the representatives of the city who have al
ready In past times lost a point with the Georgia Railway and Electric
Company upon a careless wording of an ordinance relating to the city’s
duct, should in (he lesson taught by that carelessness of scrutiny, see to
It that tho wording of any future agreement drawn up between the
city and the corporation l» as deflnlto and as plain as the English lan
guage can make It
THESE VISITING TRAINMEN.
The Instinct of hospitality suggests n welcome to visiting bodies be
fore they make their appearance upon the Scene.
But that hospitality la more genunle which .after the arrival of expect
ed guests and after close and critical Inspection, finds them gracious
snd charming and bids them welcome from a deliberate and deflnlto ap
preciation of tholr gifts and graces.
It la even so with tho trainmen who are here today. This splendid
organisation has not boon n guest of Atlanta for many years before. Their
numbers have onlarged. Steadily with the progress of time there has
coma an enlargement of tho caliber and quality of the material which
makes up tho Trainmen of the United State* and Canada.
Peculiarly near to the commercial ago In which wo live are these
gentlemen who pull the bell cords on our trains, whos* muscles wind the
brakes that regulate the going and the coming of the cara; whoae stal
wart strength swings the baggage of the traveler In and out upon the
platforms, and whoae fidelity and care and conscience make up tho
safety and the comfort of modern railway travel.
It may be aatd with perfect truth that the trainmen by their bearing
and personal appearance have made Instant friends with Atlanta. They
have borno themselves ao pleasantly and so amiably upon our streets
that their good cheer and their evident comradeship have met an Instant
response In the hoarts and at the hands of our peoplo.
And th» welcome which the ^Trainmen have bad In Atlanta today Is
only a forecast of the larger welcome with which, having learned to
know them, we shall be moat happy to welcomo them to another annual
session In this Twentieth Century City of tho South.
JAMES L. KEY AND MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
In commenting' upon the agitation for municipal ownership In yes
terday's papor, Tho Georgian did not Intend In any distribution of credits
to omit the superior services of tho lion. Jnmes L. Key.
No possible roster of tho leading forces |n this movement would be
complete If tho namo of "Jim" Koy was not placed somewhere very near
the head of tho list. Consistently snd courageously he has fought for this
prlndplo In the municipal politics of Atlanta. He hns fought against
groat odds and has borno himself with conspicuous ability.
In tho recent ngltatlon of the question he has easily been the legis
lative loader of thejnoveroent, and ns chairman of the committee having
this vital matter In charge, hla force, hit address and hla tireless energy
are to bo credited with a lion's share of that which ha* already been ac
complished In legislation.
What Mr. Key baa done In legislation, The Georgian has faithfully at
tempted to do In arousing publle sentiment to a full comprehension of this
vita) theme. And In the concentration of publicity upon the reasons and
tho object Icasuna of municipal ownership wo have endeavored to do our
full part
ATLANTA'S PRINCELY HOSPITALITY.
The fact that Atlanta has become a convention city, need* no cxplana-
nation, and does not admit of conjecture.
Being entertained within Its hospitable borders Wednesday are two
notable gatherings, cither of which might be expected to tax the hospital
ity of any Bouthorn city. The greet Masonic conclave, which has brought
to Atlanta distinguished Knight* Templar* from many sections of the
country, and the convention of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
have made the city festive with parades, decorations, badges and social
functions. Another smaller, but by no moans Insignificant convention la
also In session In Atlanta, the Georgia State Dental Boclety, thus com
pleting a trio of remarkable convocation* which aerve to emphasise the
Importance, and tho popularity of Atlanta as a convention city. The
hutet and other public accommodations. In the city, have done much to
bring about this condition of affairs, but perhaps the beat explanation
lies In the manifestation of a generous and almost princely hospitality, on
the part of Individual dtltena. This Is evidenced In many and varied
waj-s, whenever the opportunity presents Itself.
The lavish expenditure of money which finds expression In beautiful
■nd brilliant private receptions; splendid public banquets, and numerous
forms of Individual and aggregate entertainment. Indicate that the heart
of Atlanta I* always attached to the keys of the city whenever presented
to the notable gatherings which find their way to this splendid Southern
city.
The men and women of Atlanta have a charming habit of feeling a
personal responsibility for the entertainment of the distinguished dele
gates who gather within our borders at stated Intervals. And this habit
of hospitality la the basis of the beat form of the famous "Atlanta-spirit.''
The splendid reception given Tuesday evening by Mr. and Mrs. J. K.
Orr, at their elegant home on Peachtree street. In honor of Mr. George
Mayhew Moulton, of Chicago, haa never been excelled In the social an
nals of the South.
It was the brilliant Initial event In the Masonic ceremonies which
have attracted such widespread observation.
With magnificent and artlstio environment, Mr. and Mrs. Orr illus
trated In one of the newest cities of the South, the beautiful and genuine
hospitality which made the Old South beyond compare In the years that
are gone, and gave evidence In the noblest and most generous way what
It signifies to bid the stranger welcome to what Is best In the hearts
and homes of this city of conventions.
Atlanta's princely hospitality Is without limit, or stint, and adds fresh
and beautiful laurels to the chaplet which crowns her the Queen City of
the South.
AS TO THE PENNANT PROSPECTS -OF ATLANTA.
It has been observed by those who preside over the destinies of tho
sporting pages that "All the world loves a winner." .
To this wise saying Atlanta Is no exception and Just at present the
baseball enthusiasts ot the city could readily lavish an especially large al
lowance of love on a pennant winner.
And for the first time since the organization of the present Southern
League tho hopes ot Atlanta baseball fanatics for a pennant seem about
to be fulfilled.
Since the early days of the present organisation Atlanta has had a
good team and has made a good race. Always, however, there has been
something lacking—proper management, team play, batters, pltchere—
always Just enough to spoil Atlanta’s chances of finishing first
This year Atlanta's team looks better than ever. It stood the first
test well, winning enough of its exhibition games to give the exports full
confidence In Its ability.
The next test came when the league season opened and Atlanta went
against the teams of the Eastern section of the league.
This first lntra-sectlonal series ended Tuesday In Nashville and by
a bard earned victory In the closing game the Atlanta team worked Its
way to the top of the ladder again and faces tho third test—tho Western
invasion—with a team In the lead and in good running order.
But the West! Alas the hopes of many an Atlanta club lie burled
aomowhere near tho banks of the Mississippi. And maybe this club of 1907
will be no exception. But tho enthusiasts hope that It will, and that by
winning a fair share- of games on the road It can keep so near to the top
that tho home games at the season's end may land a pennant for Atlanta.
And If Atlanta loses?
Well, she has lost before. And after all, what’s In a pennant?

The writer sat In a large and Intelli

Popular Conduetor Dies.
Special to The Georgian.
Forsyth. Ga., May *.—R. R. Reid
died at his home In this city Saturday
night and was burlsd In Oakland cem
etery Monday morning. Mr. Reid was
for years ona of the moat popular con
ductors on the Central of Georgia rail
road. '
To the Editor of The Georgian:
It will be easy enough to get around
the third-term problem for .Mr. Roose
velt.
In reality he has only been elected
once by the people. His first term do s
not count, because he only stepped Into
the place that Mr. McKinley had been
elected to and served as his substitute,
neither the people nor Mr. Roosevelt
had any choice In the matter, so that
if elected again It would only be his
second term, and the unwritten law la
regard to a third term need not be con.
sldered. Perhaps Attorneys Delrait
and Jerome would not call this logical
but being a woman, 1 am excused from
logic. I would like to see Mr. Bryan
president, but even he Could not he
elected If Mr. Roosevelt should be a
candidate. However, Mr. Bryan Is
young enough to wait for another nom-
(nation later on, which he will surely
get, and. he will be all the wiser and
grander when his time comes, but II he
accepts the nomination to run against
Theodore Roosevelt he will be defeated,
and perhaps, like the. brilliant Blaine,
may never reach the presidency.
Sometimes It Is well to wait for the
tide. But In nominating the president
for another term I have In mind not
only the good of the country, at large,
but the fun we could have In watching
half a dozen prominent men In his own
j party who would suffer with terrific
"brain sYorms” brought on by anger
and Jealousy, and the torrents of their
wrath will roll down toward Mr; Graves
and the South, but the band will con
tinue to play Dixie.

“Jesus, at Thy command
We launch into the deep.”
It was aung by the first missionaries

A LEGAL QUESTION.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
A girl, aged 18 years, marries a
man with a farm. The husband lives
•lx months ana dies. Now, the ques
tion arises, was she his legal wife and
was she his legal heir? And would she
Inherit his property? And, she being a
minor, would she have to have a guar
dian appointed before she could legally
take charge of her husband's property?
I write this for Information, as I knew
a case of this kind. But as nobody ob
jected, She held the farm and had no
guardian appointed. But ths question
Is, could'she have held It legally If ob
jection had been made?
