Add Goodwin, Too. A correspondent, who, for reasons best known to himself, does not sign his name, take* The (ioorglnn to task for giving credit to Colonel James L. Key for his full share of the work done In the matter of municipal ownership in Atlanta and protests that we ought not to have omitted the name of Tho*. H. Goodwin, who ran for mayor upon this ticket last fell. The Georgian has no regret what ever tor having done justice to the 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 of municipal ownership, and we call at tention to the remarkable vote which he received in Indorsement of his platform and Ms own popularity. We take pleasure moreover In say ing that the unhesitating snd definite position which Mr. Goodwin took upon this question wet e credit both to hie courage and to his comprehension. props of tho Jamestown Exposition. He did great work In tho Inception of that enterprise and left the old com monwealth before ho had time to reap tho reward of his energy and entbu- asm. And now as the successful editor of The Item he conceives for his new home another exposition to rival If not surpass the glory of the James town fair. Colonel Thompson's suggestion of a name Is a most admirable one. Held In the year of 1915, Just about tho time of the completion of the' Panama canal and located In tho city which Is the metropolis of the Gulf States, the name would be an unusually sugges tive and attractive ono. 0 Unless Atlanta herself sees lit to en ter tho ring In competition with an earlier enterprise we shall all be glad to eo-opernto with. Editor Thompson and the Panama Exposition of 1915. 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. Colonel Thompson was formerly tbs editor of The Norfolk Dispatch and was nos of tbs earlier pillars snd 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.

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. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
