Three oat of four from Memphis, the baseball leader, Is Justification to otir Billy Smith to examine a pole for the pennant. Tbe soldier, like tho civilian, loves appreciation, and will serve better where he Is sure he Is rcgnrdol at hla worth. If Atlanta does not say to tho Fifth Regiment, "On to Jamestown," the Fifth Regiment may say to Itself, “back to tbe people.” To parapbraso Colton, law often prides Itself on being wrong by rules; while oomrnoii sense Is contented to be right without them. Jerome Just out of the Thaw case blandly declares thnt New York Is "comparatively moral!" "Comparative ly" with what other place? The Houaton paragrnpher is trying to find all life's good things In Texas, since Tbe Qeorglnn'H query has made him uncertain of Ills future atnte. Does the employment of Dolphin Delmae In the Ran Francisco hoodie cases Imply that the failure to neipitt Thaw has cured tho Inclination to live In New York? Five minutes on Monday for Jeffer- son Davis and the dead confederacy! What a little tribute and yet It Is enough If It be reverent and tender- - and universal In the South. When Atlanta needs the Fifth Reg! meat la emergencies there Is nothing j too good for the soldiers. Now when the soldiers need Atlnutn's liberality, what has the capital city to r/y? the query, but are the Nor folk papers standing by the James town Exposition as loyally us they should? A little of the Atlanta news paper spirit—call It "blow" If you plaaaf—would do Jamestown more good Just now than n president's visit. Try It sod see. The next Republican ticket will read Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, and Thomas 0. Jones, of Alabama. Keep thla In your mem ory.—Balnbrldge Searchlight. Go It Searchlight. You are at least getting "warm.” Senator Daniel of Virginia as a fun ny man Is running Mr. Dooley a close race. He says that "the Democratic national platform should be confined to those things upon which Democrats are generally agreed." Find them, sen ator. The Brownsville Inquiry Is the sheer est political fake of the decade. It has been from first to last a trick of Foraker to control the negro balance of power In tbe Ohio election. Fora- her has simply used the senate as an electioneering ground. Mrs. Roosevelt has recently shown her common sense and shocked socie ty by appearing at a Washington theater on a hot night with hare bends. Why should a woman swelter In kid gloves on a hot night, or a man . wear a plug hat In the dog days? 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.
