The Georgian has no regret what

able and conscientious work of James
L. Key. but upon the hint of our anon
ymous correspondent we take great
pleasure In giving due credit to tho
definite and active campaign waged
by Thomas H. Goodwin upon the Issue

tention to the remarkable vote which
he received in Indorsement of his
platform and Ms own popularity.
We take pleasure moreover In say

Colonel Thompson's suggestion of a

The Panama Exposition of 1015.
Any man who has once lived In an
exposition town finds It hard to get rid
of the exposition spirit
Here, for Instance, comes Colonel
James Edwin Thompson, editor and co-
proprietor of The New Orleans Dally
Item, suggesting that New Orlesus
bold a Panama Exposition In 1(15, as a
Joint celebration of the opening of the
Panama canal and the one hundredth
anniversary of the Bettis of New Or
leans. Albert Godchaux. president of
the New Orleans "Progressive Union,
has submitted the suggestion that the
director generalship of the exposition
be tendered President Roosevelt.

A MOVEMENT TOWARD HIGHER ART.
The art exhibition now being held In the Alfrlend Building at 971-2
Peachtree street. Is worthy of editorial comment.
It Is a notable event because never before bas there been held In At
lanta an exhibit of our purely local artists.
Those wbo are engaged In this work are Mr. H. H. Osgood, director of
the art school, with Mrs. H. H. Osgood, both of whom have taught In
Paris and both of whom have hod pictures In the Paris Salon. Another
artist represented Is Mr. Edward Gregory Smith, who Is both an artist
and painter. Miss Roslne Raoul, whose education In art has been receiv
ed both at borne and abroad, and Miss Kate Edwards, formerly of Mar-
sballrllle, but now of Atlanta, an early student of Frederick Freere, of
CMcago, making up the local artists who constitute this exhibition.
Tho point of especial Interest In this exhibition Is In the fact that It
Is the beginning of a timely and earnest movement for higher art In the
city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia, crude as may be Its beginning.
It Is very definite In Its purposes and vary earnest and high In Its
Ideals.
The artists who compose this movement are earnestly and
. resolutely set toward the highest alms of their great profession.
They will hold uncompromisingly to the best Ideals of art and admit to
tbetr exhibition and to their school of art nothing that Is not real and
purposeful and high. The school has turned away time and again appli
cants who merely desired a smattering of art, and bas preferred to work
unprofltably rather than to work unworthily.
The exMbltlon, If It Is not yet one of masterpieces. Is composed of pic
tures that are honestly and earnestly set In the direction of masterpieces.
Some of the plotures In this art exhibition, notably those of Mr. and Mrs.
Osgood, have had a placo In tho Paris Salon la years gone by, and an
Impartial artist from one of tho greater cities who was In Atlanta the oth
er dny declared that the merit of the pictures In this Atlanta exhibition
was not surpassed In Its averago by any exhibition be bad seen in the
country.
It Is at least worth the while of all lovers and well-wishers of art In
Atlanta to lend the Inspiration and encouragement of their presence to
this earnest beginning of a great art movement In Atlanta.
Mr. Edward Alfrlend has been generous enough to glvo free of charge
to tho art school tho uso of the rooms In which this exhibition Is being
held. When this present exhibition Is over another is to be held In the
midsummer whose scope Is to be enlarged to Include tho artists of tbe
state, always rigorously preserving the standards and ldoals of merit
which Insure good pictures. The dream and Ideal of every ortlst Is to have
a picture exhibited la the Paris Salon, but even there we havo heard that
political Influences and personal pull has' been found to admit canvases of
msdloero merit In times past.,
TMs fault the Atlanta Art School pledges Itself to rigorously avoid
and to admit no pictures which do not reach a certain standard of merit
In the Judgment of the accomplished artists who have the exhibition In
charge.
Certainly Atlanta, In this age of material and Intellectual advance
ment, cannot fall to look with favor and encouragement upon a movement
so well and highly founded and pltchod upon a plane so thoroughly and
purely artlstlo as this movoment of our own admirable Art School.
We commend the exhibition and the fine spirit of Us artists to the
sympathy and co-operation of the people.
NOT A LECTURER OR NEEDING PUBLICITY.
We take pleasure in Informing our esteemed contemporaries of The
Washington Star, The Colombia State and The Macon Telegraph that the
editor of Tho Georgian Is no longer a figure upon the lecture platform,
and If he was ho does not need publicity to advertise bltn Into engage
ments and prosperity.
Time was when tho editor of The Georgian spent eight months out
of twolvo upon tho lecture platform, and within that period he found no
difficulty In filling all his time without advertisement or publicity.
This pago of The Georgian absorbs now all the time of Its editor,
and. It Is only at rare and sporadic Intervals that he finds leisure to de
liver an occasional lecture for thelyceum.
So our kind and generous contemporaries must find some other mo
tive than a desire to advertise for lecture dates, as the explanation for
an utterance of which they do not happen to approve.
We do not know that our contemporaries will be kind enough to state
this fact, but we do know that It we ourselves had In error misrepresent
ed a gentleman In our own profession, wo would bo glad, when enlightened,
to do him Justice at loast, If nothing more.
THE PROMISE OF A GREAT MUSIO FESTIVAL.
A very appreciative publto. In addition to the smaller class of genuine
muslo lovors In Atlanta, Is looking forward with Interest to tho coming
Muaia Festival, which will be given between May 29 and June 1.
It the published announcement of the festival attractions be truthful,
the event this year will surpass any of-Its kind ever given In the South
before not even excepting tho Spartanburg festival, which bas the pres
tige of twelve years of suocossful life.
The Importance of the coming event Is based on two possibilities:
First, that It It proves a success, tt will be made a permanent afTalr; and,
seoond. It It be made a permanent thing. It will be an advertisement for the
city and tho state encouraging It that cannot be measured In mere dol
lar* and cents.
* Tbe Cincinnati festival Is a case In point It le the yearly event that
makes Cincinnati famous In art
Dr. Lewis Browne and his associates were wise enough to, make the
price of tlekete a low one. It bas been demonstrated that muslo, even of so
excsllent e character as this festival promises, cannot be made profitable
and cannot reach a large class If presented at too high an admission tee.
This Is true even In New York and Chicago, where the opera Is supported
by subscription.
It Is to be hoped that the Atlanta public will lend the same support
to this great musical enterprise that It has given to every other move
ment for the development of this city and state, and that the May-June fes
tival of the present year may pass Into history as the glorious Initiation
of a permanent artistic event In our municipal life.
A Great Story, of Southern
Progress.
Beyond question, the most compre
hensive review yet published of the In
dustrial and agricultural advance of
the 8outh since 1880, and of the ma
terial resources on which Southern
progress and prosperity are based, is
given In Tbe Manufacturers' Record
of May 9th. This elaborate review
must for a long time to come be the
final authority In facts and figures
about the South. We believe that It
Should appeal with greater force than
anything over before Issued or likely
to be Issued for years to come to
every Intelligent man In the South.
It Is a story of tbe South, past and
present, and a forecast 'of the future,
lit deals with the facts of antebellum
day* *nd of th* lut quarter of a cen
tury, and cover* the foundation on
which the South I* building for tbe fu
ture.
Tbl* great story, covering nearly 20
pages of The Manufacturers' Record,
and this particular Issue of that paper
a* a whole, are good examples of what
The Manufacturers' Record Is doing
every week. We do not believe that
any thoughtful man In the South can
be otherwise than intereated In a close
acquaintanceship with what this sec
tion is doing and'what It may accom
plish. The facta bearing on these
questions touch the life of every man
and woman In the South, and rarely
before were they more comprehensive
ly presented as In this special article.
Lovers of good literature will enjoy
the admirable essay on "Roosevelt a
Man of Contrasts," on the 14th page of
our Saturday Supplement today. It
It from The Wall Street Journal, and
although brief, I* one of tbe flneit
character sketches since Charles Phil-
lips' Character of Napoleon. The man
of genius does not move In the normal,
consistent and orthodox way like the
mediocre, but his brain In lightning
Bathes Illumines and leads his times.
AN UNWORTHY 8LANDER.
From Tho Washington Herald.
Strange as It may seem, the Hon
John Temple Grave* came to Washing
ton a day or two after his great speech
at Chattanooga. In which he advanced
with customary eloquence the novel
scheme for William Jennings Bryan to
nominate Theodore Roosevelt for presi
dent In the Democratic convention, but
be manifested himself to few persons
here. Usually when Colonel Graves Is
In Washington everybody from the
White House to tho capltol knows It.
But on hts last visit ho did not even
drop In at the White House to pay his
respects. And thereby hangs a tale. It
Is said that by telephone from his hotel
the Georgia Demosthenes Informed the
vigilant Loeb that he was here. Mr.
Loeb was glad to be so Informed. How
was the colonol's health, and -how long
would he be In our midst? Only a few
hours, os Colonel Graves wan en route
to Chicago to make another speech.
Then the ’telephone rang off. In the
course of an hour Colonel Graves
called tip the White House again. Was
that Mr. Loeb7 It was. Was the presi
dent In? He was, but was very busy
at the moment Did Colonel Graves
have anything of Importance to com
municate to the president? Nothing of
special Interest, although If the presi
dent should not bo busy all day Colonel
Graves might drop around to the White
House later Just to pass tho time of day
and Inquire ns to the state of tho Union.
Mr. Loeb would communicate with
Colonol Graves further on the subject.
Faithfully tho Georgia orator remained
In his room In close proximity to the
telephone, which accounts for his not
helm? son upon the public thorough
fares, but no call came from Loeb.
Then out to Chicago Colonel Graves
sped and made an eloquont speech In
advocacy of President Roosevelt nomi
nating William Jennings Bryan tot
resident In ttte Republican convention,
'his is the story that’s told.
“Humiliated."
Mr. Bryan, In The Commonwealth.
The Chicago Chronicle declares that
President Roosevelt has been “greatly
humiliated" by the compliments paid
him by certain Democrats, notably
John Temple Graves and Mr. Bryan.
The Chronicle says: ‘President Roose
velt has not deserved the humiliation."
It must hurt the president terribly
to hear a Democrat speak a good word
for him occasionally. Perhaps he
would prefer to have his compliments
come exclusively from men who, like
John R. Walsh, proprietor of the Chi
cago Chronicle, have been Indicted one
hundred and odd times for fraudulent
transactions.
If Mr. Roosevelt can prosper with an
everyday enthuslastlo Indorsement by
Walsh, he ought to be able to sur
vive an occasional knld word by hum
ble Democrats.
Prophet or Visionary.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
John Temple Graves la still stand
ing pat A few days ago he called upon
Mr. Bryan to name Mr. Roosevelt as
the Democratic candidate for presi
dent Tbe Commoner couldn't see It
that way, and now Mr. Graves has call
ed upon Mr. Roosevelt to name Mr.
Bryan. This time he doesn't specify
either party, declaring that one word
from Sir. Roosevelt would not only
■weep Mr. Bryan Into office, but arm
him for the accomplishment ot any re
form whatever. Mr. Graves behoves
that party ties were never ao loose as
they are now, and qvldence la not lack.
Ing that he Is right. What a curious
thing It would be It the United States
should complete tbe circle ot political
irocedure and go back, within a cen-
ury and a quarter, to the practice of
Washington's dayl
The Greatest Democrat In the Country.
From the World's Events (Magazine).
Like a bolt out of a cloudless sky
came the challenge of Editor John
Temple Graves of
of Bourbons, to W,
nate President Roosevelt In the next
Democratic convention. 1 To the aver
age politician this exceptional an
nouncement Is In line with the itching
for cheap sensationalism. But to the
student ot. national politics It wears a
rarb ot sincerity. When the Ohio
Jemocrats, in convention assembled.
Indorsed Roosevelt’s administration It
was called a bluff. It may have been.
But elnco then the president hat Im
pressed the whole nation with the fact
that he desires to destroy the tyranny
of the party lash. He Is easily the great,
est Democrat In the proper mennlng of
the word In the country today. He Is
farthest from a party man. Hts pop'
ularity does not bear tho marks of
party loyalty. While such a movement
would stand alone In our history, tt I*
not an Impossible occurrence. Should
Bryan nominate Roosevelt, he would
make himself the moat popular hero ot
the world. This could be a dramatic
epoch In our national life.
Party Independence.
To The Editor of The Georgian.
Your .Stovall editorial of yesterday
was fine. It suggests this to me:
If you were traveling on a difficult
road toward a desirable destination and
you found that your vehicle was falling
and Incapable of bearing you to your
goal, and you saw rolling near you one
that waa strong and progressing favor
ably to your objective point, on which
there was room and welcome for you,
what would be the course of wisdom
for yout
Would It be to stubbornly ding to
your fragile dependence and perish or
to seek salvation by a change of coach?
Shall our prlnolplea perish with Bryan
or triumph with Roosevelt?
TRAVELER.
A PERSONAL STATEMENT
To the Public:
I withdraw for a moment from the
editorial choir to answer a statement
which concerns me personally and near,
ly, but does not necessarily affect the
newspaper.
The statement Is found In an article
which I have reproduced upon this pege
today from thn columns-of The Wash
ington Dally Herald. So long as the
story appeared la The Herald alone, I
let It go unanswered rather than ob
trude a personal Issue upon the public.
But within the last few days the story
In Tho Herald has been Copied without
comment by The Houston (Texas) Post,
and with editorial comment by The
Macon Telegraph. As It is likely that
other papers In this and other sections
have also reprinted The Herald's article
It U dus to myself that I should make a
correction.
The story, as the reader will see,
credits me w ( lth a visit to Washington
two days after my Chattanooga Bpeech,
and with a repeated effort to communi
cate with President Roosevelt by tele
phone, In which effort It relates that I
was twice rebuffed and finally Ignored
by Secretary Loeb. Falling In this, I
was credited with going In anger to
Chicago to mako there a different
speech from the one which I Intended
to make.
It would be difficult to 'conceive a
meaner and more damaging story than
this. From first to last and In every
particular It Is absolutely and entirely
falsa. I will not say that It Is malicious
ly false, because I have never offended
The Herald and can not conceive that
the editor of The Herald could have
any malice toward a member of his own
profession simply because of a differ
ence In political opinions.
But with or without mallco, Tho
Herald should not have published a
story without ample foundation which
puts me, a Democrat, In tho attitude ot
having made a public speech from the
low Instincts of a mere offlefi-seeker,
and then rushed off In shameless haste
to Washington to realise upon the
grateful appreciation of tho president
of an opposite party, who promptly
snubbed my advances through his sec
retary.
No spirit of fun or raillery can Justify
a story that leaves a stain'upon per
sonal character.
No honest newspaper should publish
a story so damaging to tho repute ot
any public man without being certain
that It Is true, ana The Herald had no
foundation whatever for the misrepre
sentation it gave to print
The simple tacts tn the case are
these: I spoke at the Chattanooga ban
quet on Wednesday evening, April 10.
By an engagement previously made I
was to speak at the Jefferson banquet
In New York on Saturday evening,
April 13. Leaving Atlanta on Thurs
day evening, 1 stopped over, os usual,
for a brief visit to my only brother, who
has long been a resident ot Washing
ton. My entire time was spent with
him. I avoided all publicity, steered
clear of my newspaper friends, did not
go in tho neighborhood of the White
House and under ever;' Instinct of dig
nity and delicacy I did not directly or
remotely seek any communication with
the president or bis secretary by mall,
wire, telephone or message.
I have not been sensitive to the crltl
clsms which havo come mingled with
the Indorsements of my Chattanooga
nil:
ui
speech. I hare realized that a man who
iterance, however
makes a public
honest. Is the legitimate subject of crit
icism from public voices, and while I
have rejoiced In the concurrence of
many good men, I have not been of
fended by the sharp protests of others.
Some criticisms thoroughly unkind nnd
personally unjust have been mads by
newspapers that do not know me In any
capacity. 1 have accepted these as a
part of the price which a man pays to
narrow and Ill-tempered scribes for the
privilege of speaking bis honest senti
ments, as 1 have always done.
Others have Joined In this unworthy
tone of comment who do know me. and
know that I am not Insincere or dis
loyal, and that I havo many times
spoken my convictions In the teeth of
prejudice and against popular senti
ment to my own disadvantage, waiting
upon time for vindication.
Tl\ese latter comments have, I con
fess,'given mo pain, because I havo not
deserved thorn, and because I did not
expect them from those who have never
found In my public or private life any
thing to Justify tho aspersion of un
worthy motives. Yet I have mode no
publto protest.
But this absolutely baseless story of
The Herald leaves me In an attitude so
Ignoble that I can not afford to remain
silent. My public reputation Is a part
of my life and tt is as valuable and
dear to me In Washington and Texas as
It Is onywhore In the world, except In
Georgia.
1 therefore moke this statement of
facts without temper and ask The Her
ald to do me the simple Justlco to make
public Its substance at least. I believe
that The Herald, which Is a reputable
newspaper, will do this. I know, with
out doubt, that The Houston Post will
never fall to do the honorable and gem
erous thing by a contemporary, I have
confidence that the editor of The Macon
Telegraph, even tn the stress of politi
cal controversy, will not refuse to cor
rect a slander which reflects unjustly
upon the personal character ot a fellow
Georgian, and for the rest I must com
mit myself to the professional courtesy
and fairness of the newspaper frater
nity to redeem In the statement ot facts
any currency which has been given to a
baseless and cruel story of misrepre
sentation.
I know so well wbat I myself would
do for any journalist under similar con
ditions that I shall await with tran
quillity the action of my brethren ot the
press.
