Judge Rodgers Claims Credit.
It bag Just been called to our at
tention that Judge Rodgers, of Atlanta,
claims to have been the original au
thor of tbe suggestion that Mr. Bryan
should nominate President Roosevelt
for tbe presidency. Which leads ua to
say that wo cheerfully share the honor
of thls.suggeitlon with Judgo Rodgers.
We confess that we do not recall the
eminent Judge’s letter to which ho al
ludes. and that we would not be will
ing to rob him of any credit which
la his. To be perfectly frank with the
Judge, however, we must admit to an
equal credit In this suggestion several
hundreds of prominent and thoughtful
Georgians who expressed the same
opinion some weeks previous to the
Chattanooga speech. In point of fact,
the Chattanooga speech was nothing
more nor less than the expression of
what Its author believed to be then,
and much more substantially believes
now to be, tbe opinion of the majority
of the people or the state. We have
heard hundreds of men before and af
ter the Chattanooga speech express
this opinion, and with Judgo Rodgera'
full consent, we will enlarge the
sphere of acknowledgment to the sev
eral thousands of opinions which pre
ceded both of us In this matter. Among
others, let us not forget that the Hon.
Clark Howell, of The Constitution, who
is Judgo Rodgers' chronicler In this
matter, either told the people that It
might be necessary for both parties to
re-nomluate the president, or he told
Editor Butler, of The Buffalo Newi,
that he had Issued thl* edict to tbe
people of Georgia. At leait Editor
Butler says be did.
Meanwhile, Judge Rodgera can suit
his own convenience In coming to The
Georgian office and receiving his full
half of the applauding notices of the
suggestion which bo thinks we have
captured from bis valuable manu
script
Tho brilliant paragraphers of Ths
Washington Herald and The Houston
Post sro much agitated over The
Georgian’s query as to whether s
newspaper paragrapher can enter the
kingdom of heaven. These pungent
paragraphers are real friends of pub
lic men and heal half tbe wounds
they make. But this will not do. No
airy persiflage will escape the lasue.
This Is a matter In which tbe P. P.’s
must clearly face the hereafter.
Another of Ray Btannard Baker’s
remarkable discoveries is that the
Southern people uo not eat hash. Let
it rest at that, Ray; you are nearer
your level there than In dealing with
the negro question.
Pungent Paragrapher Nevln, of The
Washington Herald, la much concern
ed over tbe Chicago woman who told
her husband tbat she “bated him with
the hissing hate of bell," which moves
P. P. Nevln to recall the antithesis of
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox's "languor-
out and luscious love of life.”
Tbe pungent paragrapher and the
kingdom of heaven have not yet estab
lished any fraternal relations for the
future.

have become the toast of tbe ladies
and tbe admiration of tbe state.

OTHER ISSUES, BUT ONLY ONE IMMINENT ISSUE.
To tho Editor of The Georgian;
I have read very carefully both of your recent speeches which
have attracted so much attention.
I do not know that you and I think exactly alike about poli
ties; but one thing struck me, for It was unusual and dramatic.
That was the perfect delicacy with which you made the sugges
tion to Mr. Bryan and the perfect courtesy with which he receiv
ed It. The situation was worthy of the men who formed It aad of
the occasion which brought It about. I do not suppose that tbe
hope can bo practically realized, but the appeal was a striking
one, and I do not doubt that If Mr. Bryan thought It necessary or
possible be would be capable of carrying out the suggestion.
The way I look at It Is, that so many things besides the rail
road question, upon which these great men agree, make up tho
principles of the parties which they represent that It would be
hard to bring them together in an Ideal situation which you have
cleverly outlined. Party lines are well deflned today, and possibly
they ought to be so. Mr. Bryan stands for tariff reform and for a
policy opposed to Imperialism. President Roosevelt, perhaps,
could not clasp hands with him on either of these, except to Join
Issue.
However, I did not propose to argue the case, for you have
already admitted that In a way the matter might not find con
summation. I simply wrote to spy that your speecher have been.
to me Interesting and suggestive and tbat the situation, especial
ly In your first address, developed high and unusual effect. Yours
very truly, PLEA8ANT A. STOVALL.
Savannah, Ga., April 25,1907.
The letter of Mr. Stovall Is worthy of high consideration for several
reasons.
Mr. 8tovall himself occupies a very enviable place among the Journal
ists of Georgia. Both In character and In attainment he ranks well up
among tbe very first of his profession In the state and In the South, and
his character and culture demand the respect not only of his contempora
ries but of the people. «
We are gratlflod that In the midst of some thoughtless and some
merely captious criticisms that so accepted an authority as Mr. i Stovall
recognizes the propriety and delicacy of the suggestion made to Mr. Bryan
at Chattanooga. .
It Is also a pleasure to know that the editor of The Savannah Press
realises that Mr. Bryan Is built of that grade of material which would be
capable both of appreciating the suggestion and of carrying It out If It
should meet his convictions of public duty.
Mr. Stovall’s suggestion that there are other things besides the rail
road question which are to be considered by both parties, and that upon
these other questions neither Mr. Bryan nor Mr. Roosevelt nor the pqrtlea
which they represent could agree to merge their Issues, Is - the statement
In a nutshell of the thoughtful party objection to the Chattanooga proposi
tion.
In answer to It we have (Imply this to say:
We recognlzo that there are differences In doctrine between Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Roosevelt, and we were conscious of It at the time. We recog
nize that there are largo differences between tbe creeds and the doctrines
of the Republican and Democratic parties.
But our whole proposition was based upon the view which we once
again submit that none of these Issues Is so Imminent, and none of
these questions so directly and Immediately Important as the great
question of the relation of predatory wealth to tho lights and Interests
of the body of the people, and the collateral question of the proper and
reasonable regulation of the railroads (tbe greatest of corporations) In
their relations to freights, to passenger rstes, to franchise and to legisla
tion. ,
We believed thou, and we bellevo now, that theso other questions
which have existed at other times and may continue to exist for tho fu
ture, are not so pressing at this time nor so Important to this ora as the
wise, firm and effective solution of theso two questions of predatory
woalth and railway corporations In their relations to the people.
Our whole proposition was based upon tho view that at thli particu
lar period In our history the question of all questions, and transcending
all Issues, was so Immediate and so vital tbat other long standing ques
tions might well afford to wait upon its solution, and that as we had In
executive authority at this time one who had demonstrated his capacity
to deal with it in the most mastorly manner, one who was alroady en
trenched in position, holding the machinery of action and tho prestige of
success, that the real Interests of the people which were at stake In these
Issues would seem to demanil that this executive figure should be held
In position pending the final solution of the question.
We spoke honestly for no other reason than beesuse we did not be
lieve it la good policy to change generals right In the midst of battle.
We believe further that It would take four years or more of legisla
tion Influenced by executive authority and reinforced by executive action
to bring this question of predatory wealth and the peoplo to a conclu
sion.
We believe that during this time, the other doctrinal dogmas that had
waited so long could afford to wait for four years more, and that within
these four years all the people might get behind the one man who had
demonstrated bis willingness and capacity to handle tbe question not as
a radical but ss a conservative—to secure every right due to the peoplo
without Infringing upon the rights due to the corporation—to establish
as firm a balance between the reign of the people and the reign of the
corporation as Justice and public policy might demand—to protect tbe re
public against the reign of graft and not less, against the rule of the
mob.
We believe that If a great people should cany such an expression
of lofty confidence In a public servant. It would consecrate tbat public ser
vant, beyond partisanship, beyond passion, and beyond selfishness, to this
one groat work alone, and that ho himself, leading the politics of the
times, would also lead tho movement to relegate other dogmas of either
party to the rear and to concentrate and consecrate himself to the work
of settling right now In tho period of Its greatest emincnco and at Ita great
est promise this great question of corporate and Individual rights and lib
erty.
We have never been unmindful of the differences between the men
and the parties. We had them as clearly in view when we spoke ss we
have them In view today. *
But recalling the fact that once before In this republic there had
been an "Era of Good Feeling" In which all parties had combined In the
Monroe administration, we believed that the time was equally ss appro
priate and the Issues equally as vital which would Justify an appeal for
another "Era of Good Feeling" at this Important period In our history.
We believed then, as we believe now, that the conditions and divisions
in our own party and the other party will not be healed, and that both
of these parties would be benefited by the opportunity for reorganization
and "a new deal" which could only follow upon this era of union and
good feetlng which we Invoke.
This was the spirit which moved the Chattanooga speech. And we
are glad that Mr. 8tovaU's clear, conservative and intelligent letter has
given us an opportunity to restate It
There has certainly been no damage wrought to any Individual or to
any party. If Its high motive has been flippantly questioned, we must
suffer that. If Its purpose should eventually fall, and It the suggestion
should never be realised—It has at least quickened political thought
along wholesome llnec. It has Illustrated the growth and eslstence of a
broader spirit among the thinking men of both partlei. And It has crys
tallized Interest In the great issue whoee imminence Invoked tbe proposi
tion. • '
We have nothing to regret and nothing to retract from the original
suggestion. It will be remembered when Itc captious critics are forgot
ten. The future is with It, and the little fretting comments of the pres
ent neither affect the merits of tbe idea nor the equanimity of the authtr.
If a vote could be taken before the people wbc are at last chiefly
concerned, the result would be ss astonishing to the politicians and to the
political newspapers as it would be gratifying to tho republic itself.
Tbe peopiy are really better arf, broader than their representatives.

ONE OF THE SOUTH'S MODEL SCHOOLS.
The Board of Trustees of the Girls' Normal and Industrial Institute
at MllledgevlIIe held a session In Atlanta on Thursday, the 9th Instant.
Ono of tho Incidents of that session was to re-elect President M. M.
Parks for a term of two years, and to pass a resolution thanking him
for the able and capable administration which had advanced this Institu
tion to a front rank among the schools of the state and of the South.
The Incldont Justifies a worjl of editorial comment. Tbe trustees of
' this MllledgevlIIe school may well claim that It now holds a place in tho
front ranks of educational Inatltutlons. From a personal knowledge of
the merits and work of the school, The Georgian does not hesitate to say
that It Is one of the first two or three schools In tho South. In tbe merits
and practical genius of Its president, In the accomplishments and effec
tive work of Its faculty and in the absolutely harmonious 'relations In
which president, faculty, and the student body work to a common end,
the school Is a model of Its kind. Its work is being established in repute
and In usefulness with each succeeding year, and educators of high repute
who have visited MllledgevlIIe during Its session do not hesitate to declare
that no better, sounder and more progressive educational work la being
done In tho country.
This magnificent resnlt has been brought about In Just one way. The
MllledgevlIIe Girls’ Normal, which Is an Institution of the state, la gov
erned by. a board of trustees. This board of trustees le made up of citi
zens of Georgia, most of whom have had no practical experience In educa
tional matters. But it Is a body of eminent common senso and of abso
lutely unselfish motives.
There has never been a suggestion of politics In the board. No man
has a scheme to carry or a candidate to select upon any occasion. No
man has an enemy to punish or a friend to prefer In the matters that con
cern tho sehool and therefore the state. No man has his knife up his
sleeve for another man. There areno suspicions entertained toward
each other by the members of this board, and with absolute and un
selfish consideration for the Interests of the state, they have come to
gether In all their sessions having before them the central object of ad
vancing the real and best Interests of the state’s Institution and the
etate’s young women who are to be educated.
With this Idea in view, when the time came to select a president to
succeed the late lamented Chappell, the one idea was to find not the most
popular man, not the frlond or the largest number of trustees, not the
man whom any number of politicians preferred, but the best, brightest and
most capable educator within the horizon of the board. With absolute
unanimity the choice fell upon Prof. M. M. Parks, a Georgia boy, grad
uated from the high schools of the state and from Emory College, and
paying his own way through the ooursen at Harvard University and at
tho University of Chicago.
To superb equipment President Parks added the highest practical
talent and a rare capacity for Imparting knowledge. To this equipment he
has subsequently delighted the board by developing the highest execu
tive capacity.
Tho common sense board of trustees, realizing that they hafl the right
man for president, set themselves not to thwart or to direct, but to co
operate with him by holding up his hands, and this they have done In every
particular, sustaining him In all his plans, co-operating with him In his
purposes, maintaining his authority and Indorsing his discipline.
In consequence, President Parks has filled the chairs of the different
departments at MllledgevlIIe with as fine and as harmonious a body of
practical and accomplished teachers as can be found In any institution in
tho South.
He has not feared to surround himself with men whose merits and rep
utations are on n par with hts own, and this faculty within the two years
of hts administration' has moved without a break, a Jar or a wrangle, In
the most harmonious union to the most effective results.
We pralio the MllledgevlIIe school as a model among tho educational
Institutions of tho state, and we commend to the entire educational sys
tem wherever it may be needed tho methods which have made it what
It Is.
Eliminate politics from school boards. Exclude private selfishness and
personal schemes In state boards. Make the Interests of tho state and of
tho student tho supreme consideration. When .you find a good man, stand
by him, hold up his hands and give him all the liberty and all the co
operation that he needs, and hold him In his place Just as long as he Ib
willing to stay or as the demands of a larger educational Institution
will permit him to labor In his placo.
The Georgian congratulates the state upon tbe merits of-Its famous
Girls’ Normal and Industrial College and commends the spirit of Its trus
tees, of Its president, its faculty and of its students to tho consideration
of the state.

“THE PRESIDENTIAL TRIALOGY."
Washington Post.
Some shrewd political speculators
think the presidential tickets of 1101
will be headed by Rooeevelt, Republi
can; Bryan, Democrat, and Hearst, In
dependence League, it would make a
pretty race, and be a melee rather than
a tourney. Roosevelt would be the fa
vorite In the books, but political racing
Is not an exact sclenre when the ballot
free and the count fair—that Is,
"there’s no telling who’s governor till
the vote Is counted.”
Mr. John Temple Grave* has read
. -csldcnt Roosevelt out of the Republl
can party. Mr. Hearst has read himsel
out of the Democratic party. Mr. Bry
an has read the Democratic party out
of his camp. The country would
•warm with the disgruntled, and poli
tics would make more strange bedfel
lows than It ever did before.
One thing Is manifest and that Is
this: The electorate that chooaea dele
gates to Republican national conven
tlons will not take President Rooee
velt’s declaration on the night of elec
tion 1904 for an answer, and If Mr.
Roosevelt does not Intend to head his
party’s ticket In 1908, It Is none too
soon for him to stamp out this “second
electoral term” fire that Is sweeping
over the country from ocean to ocean
The Republican situation Is this, sim
ply this: Will Roosevelt suffer himself
o be drafted?
Mr. Bryan can get the Democratic
nomination without contest If he wents
It. and he can do with It what It Is
likely Mr. Roosevelt can not do with
the Republican nomination—he can give
It to Tom. Dick or Harry, If It does m>t
suit him to take It hlmeelf. Mr. Bryan
had the world In a basket the night he
stepped on the stage of Madison Square
Garden last August. Not so the next
day, but the world, especially the polltl.
cal world, 1s a fickle, ji capricious, a
vacillating world, like the winds of
April, and Mr. Bryan may have the
luck to again get It In hls basket next
year.
With the three tickets headed by th*
three men we have mentioned, whnt
would Wall street do? For more than a
doaen years Wall street has been a Re
publican, but Mr. Roooevelt has har
ried Wall atreet ee no other man ever
did, end a* Mr. Bryan could not. If he
were Mr. Roosevelt’S successor. Rooee
velt coerced legislation out of a reluc
tant senate. As Roosevelt’s successor
Mr. Bryan would have to deal with that
same senate, that would aurely refuse
to chase the octopus at his dictation.
Then It would not be very strange If
Wall street should whoop It up for
Bryan, after all.
We do not believe Mr. Rooeevelt wa*
Insincere In 19*4 when he asserted that
hla first “elective" term was hts second
term, but Mr. Rooeevelt does not want
to be succeeded In the White House by
a Democrat nr a Republican reactionary
and what shall come of It a twelve-
month will tell.
If Mr. Roosevelt I* a “receptive" can
didate, that will make th* Republican
national convention of 1999 n ratifica
tion meeting.

Some live In berths of sleepers.
The Idlers, they who drowse.
To life theso never waken.
E’en death falls to arouse;
But the observation car.

For they sea that each life-map '

And when we reach the crossing
The terminal will appear
The way we build It here.
