SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1STT. BATHER TRYING TO BIND HIS DAUGHTER'S ANNOTER; IS HE LUNA TIC OR JOKER? THE WARRIOR GORDON. The warrior Gordon will live In he roic bronze until time has flown to Its Mtremltv. Generations will remark the statue and repeat varying ver- rlons of the story of the Confederate struggle for Independence. The minds cf men will give their valuation to his character and military skill, for such is everlasting habit of remote posterity. Today the bronse Is new to our eyes: do travel fast upon the road to to morrow and soon the staring eye of today's child who sees the swirling veils fall, hears the crash of martial music and beholds the aged soldiers who marched and fought with Gordon, will be bent under the weight of a great age and be remarked, at his pass ing, as "The last man In Georgia who recalled having seen the Gordon mon ument unveiled In A. D. 1907.” We. the workers, salute the statue and Join In doing honor to Georgia’s gallant General John B. Gordon. But to the mind of the tollers comes another picture—to us the more pleas- look back over the long, long vesra and see the tall, manly youth go ing to the fastnesses of the blue moun tains of northern Georgia. Beside him his lovely bride—a fitting helpmeet for the battle of life. Their fortune Is their glorious youth, their pure devotion and their readiness to live righteously be fore God and among men. And young Gordon turned toward mother earth and sought to uncover and develop her mineral richness. He tolled and hoped and sought no quick road to wealth by thnse low methods and outrageous arti fices now so common In the land. He wanted wealth, he had a natural right i seek It—he was willing to work hard vital he got. Of such men are the strength of the republic! To his ex ample—of early and loving marriage: honest toll and Intelligent effort—we point as a lesson for our children! When the black clouds of war dark ened the land, and the clarion call for armed men rang out, the working Gor don reluctantly left his prospering oc cupation and called upon his neighbors to follow him to the field, there to con test, with arms and etout hearts, for the right, as they saw and understood t. The young man was elected captain of the "Raccoon Roughs” and thence forth Industry had lost a great strong worker and military and civic life had gained a new leader. Had no war come Into his life, Geor gia would surely have seen In John B. Gordon a great Ironmaster—a Carnegie without his silly egotism, a Frick with out his stupidity, a Schwab without his weakness, a Corey without his vice „ *° Bssert th at Gordon's mind would have so done Justice to his employees, so loved and Intelligently cared for them and their children, that no Pinkertons and no Hpniestead’s horrors would ever have darkened his days as they have those of another. We feel that labor Inst In the soldier Gordon a greater leader In the eternal struggle for today’s bread and tomor row s equitable opportunity! The second struggle for independence Is over—the war Is over—all wars, save one, and some time In some way or an other. But the war tor proper compen sation, for honest effort Is always on— and hot Is the Titanic struggle between consolidated greed and unintelligent anarchy. Between these two stands union labor!—The Atlanta Journal of Labor. 8HARING THE RACE PROBLEM. From The Farmers’ Union News. There Is an Inclination on the part of some to bring Into the Immigration discussion the race problem, but they have never been able to make It lit actly. The truth Is, the race problem does not affect Immigration one way or the other. It Is a fact that the good Immigrant would In some Instances take the place of the negro, but, on the other hand, the mean ones would sim ply use the negro as a tool to carry Into effect their Immoral and wicked plans. The negro, being enslly led off Into crime, Is usually willing to follow th suggestions of his more cunning men tal superiors. The truth is, the South Is amply able and willing to handle the race problem If she could only persuade her Northern neighbors to keep their fingers out the ’’molasses” until the skimming was done. But there seems to be no Inclination of the Northern politician to permit the South to remove the "unclean scum” that Is constantly boiling to the top of tills problem. The editor of this Journal believes, however, that If the masses of the peo ple of the North understood the negro as he Is, ..nat public sentiment would force the politician and the big news papers to cesse their slanderous Inter ference and let the South settle this question. We believe that there Is but one way to enable our Northern breth ren to understand this question, an.I You may not think of it, but it does make a difference to you who makes the clothes you wear; especially if the maker is willing to tell you what he makes them of; and how. That’s one thing we like about Hart, Schaffner & Marx and Rog ers, Peet & Co. clothes; they are made of strictly all-wool fabrics and the makersseemto want every body to know it. They advertise the fact extensively; it’s the most important tact about any clothes. There are plenty of good look ing clothes for sale that are not all- wool; the makers don’t claim that they are; they don’t say much about it. We like to sell clothes that our customers can be positive about; goods that you don’t have to take anybody’s word for; clothes you know are good. It’s easy to sell such clothes; and they’re a satis faction to everybody. Daniel Bros. Co. 45-47-49 Peaclitree Street In a public statement Issued by the attorneys of Dr. Thomas D. Love, It Is set forth that Miss Marie Love and her family havo been the unwilling victims of either practical Jokers or something more serious in the annoy ances incident to the attentions to Miss Love of an imaginary million aire, Raymond Trustloe. After the detectives ended their In vestigation, arriving at the conclusion that the whole affair was the work of Jokers, Dr. Love and his family made every effort to apprehend the parties. No thought has existed but that Miss Love was us much the victim of the schemers as any member of her family. The statement of the attorneys in full as as follows: "Atlanta, Ga., May 31, 1907.—To Whom It May Concern: Dr. Thomas D. Love has been advising with me as his counsel for some weeks. In refer ence to the anonymous letters, com munications and other annoyances to which his daughter, Miss Marie Love, has been subjected. He has laid be fore me with great candor every fact and circumstance connected with the case, and as far as has been possible to do so, I have verified these state ments and find all that he has told me to have been corroborated. Dr. Love has requested me to communicate with the different parties Involved myself and secure for myself such Information as I could In reference to the matter. "It is my opinion that Miss Marie Love has been subjected to these per secutions and annoyances by telephone, letters, midnight marauders and oth erwise, and that she Is entirely Inno cent of any knowledge of, or connec tion with, the perpetrators thereof. Just who is the author of the perse cution It Is difficult to say. Just why It originated It Is difficult to say. I am Informed and believe that the anonymous communications are still being persisted In. "It Is entirely possible that some sup posed practical Joker Is making Miss Love the victim of his Ill-directed en ergy. I will not undertake to say that the evidence points to any particular person as being guilty of these acts. On the contrary, the evidence does not satisfactorily point to any person, but that the communications have been made by letter and telephone, and that the premises of Dr. Love have been in vaded, there can be no doubt. I firm. ly believe, and It Is my opinion, (that Dr. Love, his wife, his daughter. Miss Marie, and his son, Herman, have done all In their power honestly and earnest ly, to clear up this mystery. They have aided the detective department so far as In their power lies. Dr. Love has Importuned me on various occa sions to take as much time as I pos slbly could from my other work, to as slst him In getting at the truth of the matter. He haa undertaken to conceal nothing; he has laid the whole matter bare before me, and I do not hesitate to say that his daughter Is the victim of a plot. Whether that plot Is the result of a conspiracy among a set of young practical Jokers, or whether It is the something more serious, or per haps the vagaries of come diseased or Insane mind, I cannot say. The fact Is that a very plausible argument can be put up In favor of the proposition that some insane and Infatuated per son Is at the bottom of the matter. I Is equally true that a very plausible argument can be put up In favor of the theory that some young and foolish persons are attempting to play a prac tical Joke upon Miss Marie Love; but throughout the whole matter It Is per fectly palpable to me that the whole Love family are the victims of an out rageous plot. "When Dr. Love laid the matter be fore me, he asked nie without reserve tlon to advise him what to do to find the truth. I told him to go to the po- lice department, and I know that he made application there for assistance and sought In every way possible to have the officers of the law ferret out the cause of these unprincipled acts, and to discover the perpetrator, wheth er he be an Insane man or a practical Joker. I know* that not only has he sought the aid of the official police, but he has employed private detectives to undertake to find the truth’of the mat ter. Very truly, "RKUBEN R. ARNOLD, Counsel for Dr. Thomas D. Love. 1 concur In the above statements of Mr. Arnold. L. Z. ROSSER. that Is by sending the negro to them. You no douot have heard people ad vocate the colonisation of the negro, and tills no doubt would be the most sensible wav to settle the question. But for the Interference of those who do not know the negro this plan would have been adopted ere this. Then If the North will not allow us to colonize him, and will not permit us to handle him in our own good way, why not send him to live with them, that they may come to a fair under standing of his environments before we have been forced by their Interference to use harsh means In our dealings with the black man? Mr. Fanner, suppose you and ynvr neighbors were to send one family of negroes to some Northern clime once each year, and suppose that every com munity in your county should do like wise, and then suppose that every county In the state and every state In the South should follow your example? It would only be a few years when your Northern brethren would say: "Come, let us help you solve the question; once we were blind, but now we see; once we were deaf, but now wo hear." This question Is worthy of S'our most earnest and prayerful thought. (Note.—This reads like an editorial In The Georgian and News four years ago—not In words, but In sentiment.— Ed.) ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH CONVERTS ANOTHER DEMOCRAT. To the Editor of The Georgian: From time to time since your Chat tanooga speech I have been deeply im pressed to write a few lines of com mendation of your views In regard to r. Bryan being the man to p’ace Roosevelt In nomination for president. Since rending carefully every word of President Roosevelt’s address at In- cllannpolis, Ind., I want to ask every thinking man of the United States to read and study well what he has said. Of all that has been written and said on the railroad question, there never has yet been anything to equal that speech. No matter what your station In life Is, from the moat humble to the high est position that men aspire, from the smallest farmer to controller of rail- ads there Is not one word to offend unless It ho a man that wants to gam ble and speculate In over-capitalized and watered stocks. Roosevelt Is right, and let us help him nlong. The railroads would be safer for ln- estors if they were under government control, Just us our nutional banks are. The slump speaker of Tennessee, Hon. Champ Clark, if Missouri, or the cactus head politician of Texas may veil their throats sore telling you that W. J. Bryan Je the natural candidate of the Democratic party, but what good does It do when Roosevelt Is the nat ural nominee of the great mass of peo- pie of the United States? The credit of this declaration Is all due one man here In Georgia. A man that has the courage to voice his con victions, a man If his Intellect could be weighed by avoirdupois It would make his head totter on his shoulders, a man that the people should heed In that ho has -wisely spoken. That inan Is the Hon. John Temple Graves. C. B. BROGDON. Atlanta, Ga. school up. Each teacher make out his account and swear to It, and have It approved by each c.ne of the five trus tees, and send it direct to the state school commissioner, he to send check pay to each teacher direct and cut out all the county school commissioners In the state, which alone would save about $200,000 annually, the amount they are paid, and pay It to the teachers, and n large sum to county boards. Extra of that, let the poor children havo the benefit of this money, have all the teachers licensed to teach by first-class colleges, or the state, or the ordinary, and two well-qua 11 fled citizens of each county. And allow no one to teach In schools If they are not well qualified to teach In a school. Wo have now a large appropriation for public schools. All poll taxes, convict hire, state rail road and other things and a small tax levy on the state, now add, say, any where from to two to three hundred thousand, which the county school com mlssloners and boards are getting and a small tax levy more will run public schools all over the state. Give the boys and girls of today a better chance than we had In the war, and they will be better men and women. J. T. HENDERSON.

FORAKER BOOM ON IN GEORGIA Fire-alarm Joe Benson Fornker’s boom has been launched In Georgia. But so far It has been Inflated with only a small Injection of superheated atmosphere.

A little more than twelve months ago the organization of the Southern States Life Insurance Company was perfected and Atlanta w'&s the headquarters of a legal reserve, old line company. The company began In a very modest way without* any particular display and being officered and directed by men of sound business capability, It was con sidered certain that a steady and con servative progress would he made.

During that time the company has grown from infancy to sturdy man* hood, as‘is shown by the fact that busi ness has been written to the extent rt six and a half million dollars, a record which many older companies would be proud of. This business has not been gained at an extravagant expense to the poll */- holders, os will be shown by the fact that on the anniversary of their poficL** these policyholders will And that the company has earned enough during the first seven und a half months of their working a very handsome dividend.

The postal and passenger service to Mediterranean points can be maintained only by using naval ships, which leaves the big trana-atlanttc companies pow erless to resume service.
