A SOLID SEASON FOR SENDING THE FIFTH TO
JAMESTOWN.
On yesterday Tbe Georgian voiced an appeal of sentiment, of cour
tesy, of social requlrelnenf and of public aplrit as reasons why the people
of Atlanta should make haste to send the Fifth regiment on to James
town.
Today—Saturday as It Is and as loath as we are to give a material
tinge to any Saturday reflection—let ui urge a selfish tod material reason
why Atlanta should not fall to do this thing.
Volunteer or regular, there Is nothing more nobly sensitive than the
soldier. The soldier’s business Is to die. His act of enlistment consecrates
him to the service of his city, bis state or hlo country whenever these In
terests summon, or tbelr danger calls him to their defense. And whether
It be In darkness or In daylight, In summer's beat or In winter's cold, In
civil strife or with a foreign foe, tho soldier's sword leaps from Its scab
bard and his bayonet Is set against the enemies of order and hla country,
without regard to his own safety and without consideration for hla life.
Men like these are sensitive and have a royal right to be so. They
richly respond to the appreciation and to tho praise of the public whom
they serve. Tho smiles of women and the breath of flowers, the praises
of tho pcoplo and the recognition of the cities and the state are the chief
reward which soldiers seek for the ser.vlce that they render.
But the treatment which falls like Ico upon the soldier's soul, chilling
his courage, lessening his seal and dampening his patriotism, Is the In
difference or ncgloct of the people for whose peace and safety be always
stands.
If tho people of Atlanta in thla emergency refuse to respond to tbe
occasion which calls their gallant regiment once more “to the front In old
Virginia." they will depress the spirit and the zeal of tbe civic soldiers of
tho city und tho state. Disguise It aa we may, palliate It as we can, the
act of refusal and an Indifferent air will fall upon the spirit of our local
military aa a wet blanket, wilting their vigorous Interest In military af
fairs and dulling tbo fine edge of their loyalty to the organization which
they have maintained for Atlanta and Atlanta's safety In the past
We are feeling very safe In Atlanta In this time of peace and order.
We do not need tho Fifth regiment or the soldiers now to patrol our
streets or to curb the lawless element that threatens tbe peace and quiet
of the city. Wo are serene and tranquil now In this sense of safety, and
nru Issuing no dully and Hourly calls to the gallant colonel and his ofllcera
for a patrol of trqops for a dangerous street or a threatened square or a
beleaguered residence. We have forgotten the times when our telephone
bells were ringing In eager and Insistent appeals for the presence of these
Georgia boys In kalthl uniforms to stand as sentinels and protectors around
uur homes. ,.
And we may think that the time will never come again when we shall
need them for this service so essentia! In Its time.
Perhaps this may be true, but there aro thoughtful men who see along
the horizon of the future possibilities of danger and strife In days to come
In which once more our local military may pose as tbe defenders of socie
ty and tho saviors of the stato.
Our problems la Atlanta are not all ended yet. Our race disturbances
may not liuvo said to ua their last good-bye. And In that time of peril
and of anxiety we ahall be sorry If our apathy and Indifference to our sol
dier boys has disbanded tho regiment which would mean to us In that
hour more than all our chambers of commerce and our churches and opera
houses and auditoriums and our stately stores. In that hour a squad of
soldiers with muskets In their hands would outshine the tallest sky
scrapers that have glorlfled Atlanta's architectural achievements since
the city was begun, and we may yet bewail, perhaps too late, the sordid
apalliy that refused the encouragement thnt was necessary to preserve tbe
military spirit which Is a vital element In Atlanta's life.
Colonel Anderson frankly stated to the city council In his speech
before that body that If, after repeated efforts, this public spirited move
ment of the Fifth regiment should fall and these gallant boys Invited
and summoned to n high duty ii|K>n n great occasion to the honor of the
slate, should he held nt home by tho apathy and Indifference and penurious
spirit of this people, that he did not know whether tho Fifth regiment
could bo held together. There was not much of pleasure or of proflt, but
only the spirit of loyalty and duty which held tho regiment together.
People of Atlanta, think what It would mean If the Fifth regiment
should disband! What does It mean to you, property owners upon White-
hnll nnd Peachtree and Peters nnd Decatur and Marietta streets, If In times
of riot and violence wo had no trained and organized band of soldiers with
even tramp and fixed bayonets by their very presence to command peace
und restore order to Imperiled property nnd to Imperiled llfd?
It Is not the purposo of Tho Georgian to be sensational, and It Is
very far from the spirit of (he Fifth regiment to threaten, but the words
of Its gallant colonel admonish the people that this hour of encouragement
to the soldiery of Atlanta and of the state may mean a far more Impor
tant thing tlum the social and commercial crisis whose every Instinct
summons our crack regiment to the Jamestown fair.
These young men had set their hearts upon going to Jamestown to
accept the post of honor in that great parado. They bad a right to ex
pect that Atlanta would give It to them. They had won It a thousaud
times from tho people of Atlanta by their services In the September riots.
They made every effort of their own to get It In small Installments. They
gave a popular lecture; they held a fair; they had a great sham battle;
and Atlanta's Indifference and apathy went astray after other attractions
und let these gallant soldiers who defended tl)em go without the patronage
sufficient to make their entertainments bear financial fruit
Now It Is up to Atlanta fairly and squarely whether these men shall
receive ati expression of Atlanta's appreciation In return for the service
done to Atlanta In Its need.
Refuse this; turn a deaf ear to the Fifth regiment, and with a multi
tude of difficulties already surrounding this gallant organisation, this final
act of Indifference may turn the scale to disbandment and leave the capital
city of Georgia without a military guard!
On the other hand, let the city rally to the appeal of the regiment, and
with hearty, prompt response put their hands Into their pockets and
say gladly and bravely:
"Yes, with pleasure we make the contribution to the soldiers who
served us.”
And the spirit of Atlanta will enter Into the ranks of the Fifth regi
ment with encouragement, with Inspiration—and the spirit of disintegra
tion will be supplanted by the spirit of loyalty and the spirit of pride,
while the city and the soldiers will love each other better and appreciate
each other more and will mean both In the present and In the future more
and more to each other's happiness and each other's safety lu the emergen
cies which the South may develop.
Atlanta snonld leap responsive to the appeal of the gallant soldiers
upon whom they fjbancd so devoutly on tbe twenty-second of September.
THE COMMISSION’S REDUCTION IN PASSENGER RATES.
The action of the railroad commission In the matter of rates will be
received with varying shades of approval and disapproval In the state.
As The Georgian predicted some months ago, the decision of the com
mission Includes a graded rate, selling transportation as a commodity
cheaper In proportion to the amount of it which the traveler consumes.
We think this principle In the main Is right, and we are Inclined to be
lieve that the commission has done perhaps a prudent thing In trying first
tbe graded rate before coming to the flat rate of 2c a mile. It Is a principle
unlveraal lu trade that every commodity Is sold cheaper by wholesale
than by retail, and that any commodity sold In small quantities should
come higher than when sold in bulk or In larger quantities. The man
who travels two hundred miles or three hundred miles on a line of trans
portation ought to be carried for lessthan the one who travels only twenty-
five or fifty miles.
Of course the casual traveler who only takes a short trip will feet that
this Is scarcely Just to him and that the reduction Is made purely In the
Interest of those who travel much. This also Is true and tbe principle Is
sound in the fact that the larger consumer of the commodity of transporta
tion Is entitled to more consideration than the casual or occasional trav
eler. But any man who In the course of a year or a stated period, Is like
ly to travel a thousand miles, ought to be able to buy this much of whole
sale mileage at the flat rate of 2c.
The point In the commission's decision which will be most criticised is
the ruling by wblcb the flat rate of 2c a mile only comes after the traveler
has gone 200 miles and then relates only to the surplus miles which he
travels above that figure. We do not think that this ruling will be gen
erally approved.
A trip to Savannah would be about the only trip lu tbe state In which
one could receive the advantage of this reduction, and then only for sixty
miles.
In other words a traveler who had consumed two hundred and six
ty miles of travel would only enjoy the benefit of the minimum
rate for the last sixty miles of bis travel, whereas the wholesale
quantity of transportation which he had purchased ought to entitle him to
the reduced rate for the entire product of his purchase. The principle
does not seem here to be altogether right If a consumer buys 200 bales
of hay, he of course gets It cheaper than If he bought a single bale, or ti\
and tbe reduction does not lie with tho last five or ten or twenty bales
that he purchased, but Is supposed to be distributed through the entire
wholesale purchase.
With this exception, which may yet be amended to the proflt of the
ruling, we think that the action of tbe commission will be accepted as
a hopeful advance toward the ultimate two-cent rate.
ONE LAST TRIBUTE TO JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The hour of 1 p. m. on Monday next will furnish to the people of the
South an opportunity to pay what will be perhaps one last tribute of
reverence and affection to the memory of Jofferson Davis.
At that hour Stephen D. Lee, Confederate lieutenant general, and suc
ceeding John B. Gordon as commander In chief of the Confederate Vete
rans, will superintend upon the cspltol grounds at Richmond, the capital
of the Confederacy, the unveiling of tho heroic monument erected to the
memory of the Confederate president by the people of Virginia and tho
South.
General Lee has Issued the earnest, official and personal request to
the cities and towns of the South to give five minutes at the hour of 2 p.
in. on Monday, which Is 1 p. nt. In Georgia, In which all the
wheels of public and private business shall be stayed, all facto
ries shall be bushed, the belts unntng, the whistles unblown,
the offices at leisure, the stores at holiday, the street cars suspend
ed and the South at “present arms" to the memory of Its martyred and Il
lustrious chief.
Just five minutes—only five—upon this one day. for a great people to
pay a final tribute to the most Illustrious martyr that the South has given
to history.
It Is not likely that there will be another occasion within this gener
ation to pay a general tribute to the dead president of the Confederate
States. When this monument Is unveiled In the capital of the states
which Jefferson Davis sought to establish as Independent, there does not
appear upon tbe horlaon of probability any other occasion of significance
connected with his memory or his name which is likely to Invoke a gener
al observance or to give an opportunity for a general tribute.
By all tho prognostics of the future, this Is the last opportunity which
the South will have to do honor to the name and the fame of Its Illus
trious son.
That the South will do It, The Georgian does not permit itself to
doubt. We speak particularly to Atlanta and to Georgia in the appeal that
there ahall be no half-hearted response to the request of the living Con
federate commander. The eall for this last honor to Jefferson Davis, be
It remembered, comes from the ranking officer of the Confederacy bearing
the Immortal name of Lee. This gives double emphasis and significance
to the suggestion.
We should bo ashamed of our brave and generous Atlanta, and of
our loyal and chlvalrlc Georgia. If they failed to make answer to this noblo
suggestion of Stephen D. Lee. Here In Atlanta we havo given to Jefferson
Davis In time past the highest tributes that he has ever had anywhere In
all the world.
Henry Grady onco in a burst of enthusiasm which the thoughtless
deemed almost Irreverent, said that the enthusiasm over Jefferson Davis'
farewell reception In Atlanta had not been surpassed since the resurrec
tion ot Christ.
Grady bad no Irreverent thought In his heart when he made that
statement. It was a burst of hts own generous feeling and his own en
thusiasm over this last tearful and triumphant trtlmto which the capital ot
Georgia paid to tho glorious martyr of our Confederate cause.
And surely, we In Atlanta who have honored the Confederate presi
dent In his life time, and who gave him tho highest tribute that we have
ever paid to any man, cannot fall In consistent reverence to lead the ac
tion of the state In consecrating these five minutes of one busy day to a
little act of tender reverence that will vindicate our gratltudo and glorify
the sentiment of the state.
We urge with all our hearts that every business bouse and every pri
vate homo In Georgia at the second stroke of the clock on Monday will
dedicate five minutes to memory, to gratitude, to history and to Jefferson
Davis.
It Is time to remember here In this new and marvelously prosperous
Bouth that Jefferson Davis boa not had on every hand the honor and
tender reverence which Is hla In rich and overflowing due. Ho was the
stainless, tbe dauntless and the devoted leader ot tho cause that was
lost and loved. He gave bis glorious talents and his splendid courage to
the cause which rose without shame and fell without dishonor. He loved
It loyally, be lost It blamelessly, and carried to tbe eud unbroken his sol
dier's honor and his civic faith.
Of all the men connected with the Southern side of tbe civil war, this
man suffered the most of persecution, Injustice and misrepresentation. He
was Imprisoned, manacled and ostracised. He was the one unforglvcn
man of all the Confederate host. He was the one vicarious sufferer for
tbe heroic experiment of hts heroic people. Other men came back to hon
or and to glory In the government. Gordon and Hampton went to the sen
ate, Longstreet was preferred, Fltshugh Lee rechrlstened general—all
were received back Into a fellowship of tbe union. This man never.
While his cabinet and his generals, his private soldiers and his friends
were re-established as citizens, as office holders and as leaders in high
places of the republic, this Chief Confederate, grand, gray-halred, unpar
doned and unreatored went down In glorious honesty to the tomb.
This fact, even It Jefferson Davis had been a lesser man. should
commend him to the great and exceeding tenderness of his j>eople. If he
had been only equal to others of the great figures of this Round Table of
knights and gentlemen, his sufferings and his proscription should have en
deared him beyond expression to every Southern heart. But when we re
member that he was not only one among these knights, but the head of
the Table Round, the Arthur of that Illustrious company, we have Indeed
fallen from the high estate of Southern honor and of Southern chivalry,
If we do not leap responsive to the opportunity to do one last act of rev
erence and respect to the great nun made glorious by suffering, as he
had grown grand In service.
And so. all uneven and all unfinished as it is, we send out to Atlanta
and to Georgia this sincere appeal that at the hour on Monday which the
living official head of the Confederacy has named, this capital of Georgia
and of Dixie, this Empire State, and this Southern country, shall In no half
hearted and unfeeling way, but with a tenderness sanetlfied by univer
sality and with a reverence concentrated and consecrated by Its brevity
lift their heads and their hearts In one last superb and thrilling pause
of tender tribute to Jefferson Davis—First and Last President of the Con
federate States—God rest him!
OLD CONFEDERATE 80LOIER.
To the Editor of The Georgian: v
Appeal to the members of the legis
lature of Georgia to change the law
making out claims for state penelons
and paying them off.
Ac the law I* now, each pensioner Is
required to go before the ordinary of
each county and make out his claim
for pensions each year, and pay to him
St for the same; the ordinary then
carries the claim to the commlesloner.
Mr. Llndaey, collects hie pension, then
the pensioner has to make another trip
to the ordinary to get hts pension, the
two trips and tl to the ordinary. 1
think on an average It will cost each
pensioner S5 or It each year to get hts
pension. I suggest to change this law,
have the commissioner of pension, Mr.
Lindsey, to send blanks direct to each
pensioner tn the state and have each
pensioner and two creditable witnesses
who know them to go before a Justl :e
of the peace or notary public and make
out hts claim under oath, then the
pensioner send the claim direct to the
state commissioner of penelons, and he
•end beck a check, hts pay. direct to
the peneloner, Just like the United
States pays pensions. Most of the jus
tices of the peace wouldn't charge a
pensioner anything, while some would
charge 25 cents. Hts neighbors kn-*w
more about tho pensioner thou does
the ordinary. J. T. HENDERSON.

THE JUST DEMAND OF
COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS
(Editorial in Tho Georgian of May 28, 1906, reprinted by request of
Georgia Division, T. P. A.)
Once more the Travelers’ Protective Association of Georgia has asked
an interchangeable mileage book on all the railroads of the state, at a
price of 2 cents a mile for a two-thousand-mile book and 2 1-2 cents for a
thousand-mile book.
The request is reasonable. It is sound in policy. It has been often
and respectfully preferred, and it is high time that a courteous and favorable
reply should be made to it. The traveling salesmen of Georgia are the pulso
of commerce. They are the indispensable factors In all modern trade. Com
mercial development and the enlargement of markets would be practically
Impossible without them. They make vital In every section of the country
the claims of our great commercial houses and bring the seller and the
buyer face to face through capable, intelligent and honorable representa
tives. Tho traveling salesmen of the country are the chief support of every
hotel In the smaller cities of the land. Withdraw the traveling salesmen
and nearly every hotel outside of the larger cities would close Its doors or
shrink to proportions that would be comparatively Insignificant.
The traveling salesmen are in part the backbone of railroad traffic.
They are the steadiest, most regular and most reliable patrons of the rail
roads in every portion of the state and of the country. Their numbers ara
large, their activity Is ceaseless, their movement is constant, and their pat
ronage Is a magnificent source of revenue to the transportation lines of the
country. More than this, the orders that they take on goods that they
sell, nnd the routing of the bills of shipment which they make, are greater
by far than the value of their railroad fores for transportation.
These men certainly deserve the largest consideration at the hands of
the great railway companies which have baen their beneficiaries for a score
or more of years.
Upon a reasonable basis the claim of the traveling men Is a proper and
a Just one. It Is a principle everywhere recognized In trade, that goods or
commodities sold by wholesale are sold at lower prices than those which are
sold at retail. The advertiser who buys a thousand inches of space pays for
It less than one who buys ten inches or a hundred. The merchant who buys
a car load of goods gets them cheaper by far than if he had ordered a single
article. The shipper of fruit, the merchant of supplies, the seller of wood, all
recognize the general principle that commodities sold in bulk and at whole
sale are, and ought to be, sold at a lower price than single articles, or goods
sold In smaller quantities, and upon this principle the traveling salesmen
who buy every year from two thousand to twenty thousand miles of travel
ought to buy that commodity cheujK-r than he who goes upon a short trip
of fifty or a hundred miles. •
The principle underlying the courteous demand of tho traveling sales
men Is absolutely sound and commends itsolf to tho Judgment of thoughtful
people everywhere.
And this demand has been made and recognized in every other section
but the South. Bear It In mind that in every other section of the country
save tills the demand now voiced b; the Travelers’ Protective Association
of Georgia has been promptly recognized and promptly conceded by the rail
way lines of the country.
On the Pennsylvania and New Ycrk Central railroads, and all the great
lines of the West, they have thousand-mile books for twenty dollars, which
is two cents a mile, or for thirty dollars, with a rebate of ten dollars for tha
return of the covers of the book.
In the great middle West the Interchangeable mileage book is every
where In use, and In that region between the Mississippi and the Missouri
rivers the red mileage book of the commercial traveler calls for two cents
a mile everywhere. What can be done In the West, which Is no more thick
ly settled than the South, ought to be done in the South. What can be done
in Missouri nnd Iowa can easily be done In Georgia. No man who travels in
these business days has failed to be impressed with the thronging crowd of
patrons who i«ck the seats and aisles of our railway trains everywhere, and
no man who lives along a popular line of railroad can fail to be impressed
with the uncearlng rumble and thunder of the freight trains which carry
thdr vast and ever-increasing cargoes of traffic from one end of the countiy
to the other.
The demand of the traveling salesmen of Georgia hns been presented
persistently for many years. It ought to have been answered and conceded
years ago. The conditions which have ceded It In the East, and the center,
and the West, are the same conditions that prevail in Georgia today, and
the commercial traveler of the South Is Just as much entitled to the con
sideration and Just liberality of the railroads aa the commercial traveler of
the North nnd West.
We trust that the Southern and Central railroads, which have been the
only protestants against this proposition up to the present time, will recog-
nixe the progressive movement embodied in this fair request and that they
will promptly concede the consideration asked for by these faithful, capable
and honorable evangels of our commerce.
This may be wise policy for the railroads In another line. There ia a
strong sentiment now growing and constantly increasing In tho South fdr a
two-cent fiat rate for passenger traffic everywhere. At present this desire
seems quiescent and not especially aggiesslvc, but If the concession Just de
manded by tho commercial travelers of the state Is continually nnd hope
lessly denied, there will he let loose upon tho agitation of this great ques
tion In Georgia the most active, most tireless and the most organised band
of eloquent advocates that the state contains.
There Is no organized influence in Georgia which more strongly relies
upon tho public opinion of the state than these active, tireless, keen
witted and frank spoken “Knights of the Grip.” They are as Just ns they
are Influential, and with the good win of both sides clearly In view we
cordially unite our public voice with the organized overture of the travel
ers and request the railroads to give an early und favorable consideration
to this fair nnd reasonable demand.
