The South in The World’s Work.
Mr. Walter Pago lias undoubtedly
fulfilled the highest expectation of Ills
Southern friends in the June Issue of
The World's Work, which doals ex
clusively with the advancing South.
Certainly no handsomer and statelier
Issue has described the material pros
perity of n great section In many
yssrs.
Mr. Page and his stall have given
their personal and critical attention
to every article and the result has
been a complete, accurate and master
ful summary of Southern conditions
and Southern prospects which cannot
fall to serve as a textbook and refer
ence for several years to come.
From first to last there Is no evi
dence of haste or Inadequacy of equip
ment In this splendid work. It Is
glowing without bolng fulsome. It Is
comprehensive without being tedious
and It Is Inspiring In the marshnlllng
of magnificent facts which reluto to
the present and prospective glories
Of the advancing South.
In behalf of that portion of the
South represented by the read
ers of The Georgian, we thank Mr.
Page and Tho World's Work for tho
Strong, dignified, serious and helpful
Issue which he has contributed to this
•action.

Tut, tut! This language Is had
enough to como from a town In which
they play baseball and have horse
racing on Sunday. If Atlanta an
nexes that small portion ol Fulton
county which she has In view, not all
of Bhelliy county stuffed Into a padded
census could save Memphis tho acci
dental thousand that balances the pop
ulation scale In her favor. Even If
Memphis should take In Little Rock
ibe would be far less than Atlanta,
when Atlanta simply comes Into her
own.

LET BOTH SIDES MAKE THE ARRANGEMENT CLEAR.
The Georgian has without hesitation commended the wisdom and
public spirit of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company In dealing with
the question of lights and power, for the next period of yean.
We cannot fall, however, with equal frankness to be Impressed with
the pnident question raised by Alderman Key In this connection.
Conceding hilly the honorable Intentions of the present company, and
expressing no personal apprehensions of their violating In letter or In
spirit the present understanding between the city and tho corporation,
we are yet forced to remember that corporations, llko men, are transitory
and perishing, and some other officials at the head of this great organ-
Izatlon and not so kindly disposed, might utllizo the terms of the pro
posed contract to the great disadvantage of the city In the matter of
lights and power. It la simply a matter of business common eense (o watch
closely the wording of any contract drawn with a corporation or Individ
ual. The Georgian has consistently urged thla and Alderman Key baa tak
en the advice literally. •
We feel confident that In a full conference between the city council
and the authorities of the street railway company, the corporation itself,
which Is composed of sound and far-seeing business men, will recognize the
Justice of this prudent question and will make definite end clear what
ever arrangements they are willing to make with the city and the people
for the ensuing year.
It Is clearly' not a good business proposition to leave as a matter of
doubt and capable of more than one construction, any business arrange
ment which Involves so much of money to the municipality and to the in
dividual.
Wo anticipate no permanent hitch along this line.
Atlanta who are also reached by The Georgian, that the solid testimony of
an Intelligent people would refute the Imputation in the current Ameri
can Magazine against Recorder Broyles.
We join In the hope that the luminary shining la the columns of this
excellent magaxfne as a “Stannard Ray” may speedily become an ex-
Ray.
THE CHANCES OF FAIRBANKS.
The best and soundest Judgments are many times those given In pri
vate letters or conversations, nnd therefore not swayed by the apprehen
sion of publicity and responsibility. A brilliant New Englander, for years
a resident of Southern Indlanla. and a keen observer of events and ten
dencies, writes us a personal letter from which we are going to take the
liberty to quote these Interesting passages:
’'I make no pretensions as to prophecy, nor am I seer, but I
should certainly pick Fairbanks as the next Republican nominee.
He Is a man of Infinite tact, and however one may Jeer at the culi
nary campaign.’ It Is well to remember that an old proverb says
that 'the way to a man's heart Is through the stomach.’
And he is always suave, courtly, dignified: with none
of Beveridge's conceit. Then, too, Mrs. Fairbanks has
been of the greatest assistance to him. Wherever there Is a D.
A. R. the male members of that D. A. H.'g family lean Fairbanks-
ward. She Is graclotiB, charming, compelling, and she strikes
the personal note wherever she goes. To Illustrate: Several
years ago Mrs. Fairbanks visited an Iowa chapter and a reception
was given for her. Last fall when Mrs. Fairbanks was here the
secretary of the Iowa chapter.and she Is not a noticeable woman,
was at the reception given by our chapter. When this woman
came up I thought ‘now, watch pride take a fall,' for she bore the
smile of certain about-to-be-recognlzed-by a-celcbrlty — and, bless
your heart, Mrs. Fairbanks never hesitated a moment, but called
her by name and asked questions that she couldn't had she not
remembered. I don't know how she did It—but that woman's
husband and all the 'male men' of the family arc sworn friends
of the Fairbanks. And tho same story will apply anywhere.
"Indiana Is for Fairbanks, and while I think of It, I never saw
such acres of shouting, yelling, enthusiastic humanity as greeted
the president In Indianapolis last week. It was a veritable tri
umphal procession. In which Fairbanks as host, shone with re
flected glory.
"You can't Imaglno how the honorable legislator, and mad-
ame, his wife, appreciate tho annual senatorial reception given to
the members of tho legislature nnd their wives. Why, dressmakers
from the rural districts are busy for months In order that Mrs. Ru
ral Legislator may properly glitter In spangled jot or shiny satin,
whllo tho Hon. Rural legislator ambles through tho Fairbanks
drawing room In all the glory of a liveried dross suit. Do you
think that mndnme from the outlying provinces can.ever forgot
the momentous occasion when the suavo vice president escorted
her to tho dining room and servod her to punch? Or that the
Honorable Gentleman w^ose name she hears will lightly forget
Iho soft pressure of Cornelia's hand, or Mrs. Timmons’ gladsome
smile! He may have walked all over Mrs. Timmons' newest
gown, or she may havo spilled punch on the Immaculate vice
presidential trousers, but ns they return triumphant to the out
lying districts, tljelr hearts beat n hymn of pralac as they sing
the glories of the function of their lives, and they sing, as they
will vote, Fairbanks. Strange, what paltry things make men nnd
govern destiny! A new volume may yet ho written that will bear
tbe title, ‘To tho White Houeo by Way of the Refreshment
Countor.'
"But jests aside, Here's to the Era of Good Feeling! Permit
me to congratulate you on so felldtlous a phrase. Perhaps I
may yet know you as a twentieth century Warwick!”
Wc havo rarely known our friend, tho writer, to err In a political prog-
nostle from Indlnnn, nnd tho lotter makes us sure that Fairbanks has In
diana In r swing—always providing tho Man of tho White House Is not
In tho raco. *
Wo evidently do not nppreclate Fairbanks nt his worth In Georgia.
Ills eoldwnter banquet In Atlanta did not warm his hearers to enthusi
asm. Itnt ho knows Indiana and ho gets there with tho votes—by the
methods which our friend so brightly and pungently describes.
ALSO “AMAZED AT THE WORLD.”
"The New York World, In an article reproduced elsewhere,
gives half assent to the proposal of Mr. John Temple Graves
that the Democrats join hands with tho Republicans In electing
Mr. Itoosovclt for a third term. Wo are amazed at the attitude of
Tho World. Tho plan of Mr. Graves. If carried Into effect, would
inako the end of tho Democratic party; and Mr. Graves confesses
as much. Is It possible that The World thinks It a consumma
tion to be wished that the party of Thomas Jefferson should sur
render ita charter and go out of business?
"It becomes serious when a great Democratic newspaper se
riously declares thnt a proposition to disband tho national Demo
cratic party merits sober discussion. Is tho party really on Its
last legs?”—Richmond Tlmcs-Dlspatch.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Cannot our usually nstuto and large-minded contemporary understand
that what The World and The Georgian wish Is not that tho Democratic
[tarty should "surrender Its charter and go out of business," but that tho
grand old party of the people should reorganize Ita ranks, restate Ita real
principles, rally Ita real followers, nnd go seriously nnd successfully I ito
the real and noble business of fulfllllng Its mission and saving the coun
try.
There Is but one way under tbe sun to do this, nnd that way wc have
tried to iiolnt. The World sees It, and Tho World Is the ablest nnd wisest
editorial page In tho country. Thousands of other good men see It, and
thousands ccmlng every day to see It clearer.
We say to The Richmond Times that the Democratic party must bo
born again If It Is to live and serve and reign.
Fix that truth iu mind. The Democratic party must be born again.

RAY STANNARD BAKER ASPERSES JUDGE BROYLES.
Comes Ray Stannard Baker once again In Tbe American Magazine
and thla time be lays his Impious hand upon one of Atlanta's noblest In
stitutions in the person of Judge Broyles, of the recorder's court.
Kay Stannanl sat by Judge Broyles through a matinee performance
of tbe Atlanta Municipal Clearing House of Good Order and saw the dis
pensation of justice from the judge's bench.
If all that the astute reporter of The American Magazine haa said up
to the present time had been accepted as orthodox and correct, his relia
bility would have been impeached and his popularity destroyed when he
presumes to question either the justice or the Intelligence of Judge
Broyles on the recorder's bench.
Ray Stannard, who seems also to think himself a Stannard Ray, Inti
mates that the judge does not hand out even justice to the negro, but dis
criminates In favor of the white man where conditions ire exactly similar
and misdemeanors exactly equal and gives the darky the hot end of the
poker every time. * t
Thin may appear to Ray to l>e funny and by some of fta readers It
may bo accepted at true, but Ray's future usefulness ms a re
corder of current history Is thoroughly destroyed In this region when he
Impugns tho even and conscientious Justice of Nash Broyles In Atlanta.
If there Is a place In this country where all men get what belongs to theip,
whether of Justice, vindication or of reproof, It cornea straight and clear
from the Judge's bench of the recorder's court room In Atlanta. Negro,
or white man. rich or poor, titled or obscure, Atleota'e recorder is a Ro
man in justice and integrity, and cannot be Impeached by a peripatetic
philosopher who can't get away from hit environment to save hjm.
We caution such readers of The American Magazine living outside of

DOPE FROM THE STYX
(By t Staff Correspondent.)
StyxTille. June 6.—Nerer Itefore bun this community posted through such ft
•prlug at tbo one just concluded. Tbo constant chsuge of weather warped tbe bot
tom of ('barou’K l»oat nnd made It un sea worthy. tleing up traffic for sereral days.
A gathering of prumlneut citizens was dincusaiog the weird phenomenon recent
ly, when Noah broke In with tbe remark:
"It*a l>eeii bud. f know, but you aboufd bare seen tbe spring we bad to tbe
year 1765 H. C. It rained forty days and nights without”—
"Aw, back up—you make me nick,” said Julius t’uesnr, harshly. "You’re al
ways cutting In about that flood. If It hadn’t been for tbe flood you’d never
have l»een heard of. Beside*. It only KAINKD that siirliiu. Thla Rprlug. In addi
tion to (be rain we’re also had enow, sleet, cold winds, hot weather, frost. Ice
and brainstorms. Your flood wasn’t to the sanw class."
When shown the statement from Professor Btarr, of Chicago University, regard
ing bis age and previous condition of servitude up above, air. Methuaelah gave
vent to a number of fits on tbe spot. It will lm remembered that Professor Starr
nnuounred Methuselah’s age to lm greatly over-rated and that In nitre of living
96» yenrs he had "twenty-tlireed” much earlier. In n scathing Interview, given
out exclusively to your correspondent and The 8tyxrllle Firebrand, Mr. Methu
selah denounced the wild Btarr ns n "mollycoddle with a brainstorm annex—slid
n fit lender of the tttyxvlllo Ananias Club." which club, by the way, haa tbe only
real, simon-pure Ananias extant enrolled In Its membership. in proof of
his statement. Metbuaaleh produced the score book which contained his batting
nrerage for the full 969 seasons.
In this connection It might be well to state that Aananlas Is serlonsly plan
ning to get out an Injunction against the uso of his nsme with the Roosevelt
adaptation. "There was a time," remarked Mr. Ananias, on being nressed for
nn Interview, "when my club wn* fairly exclusive. I object, however, to several of
the late additions. In (his contention I am supported hv uiy friend. Harou Mnn-

PHILANTHROPHY AND THE BABIES
To the Editor of The Georgian:

Is It too much to say that we could save

THE APPREHENSIONS
OF A TRUE GEORGIAN
To ths Editor of The Georgian:
For mouths I have been tuucli concerned
hbout that threatened recoraimqidatlon on
rates from the railroad comiuls
me It looks like the mouse Is go
ing to labor nnd bring forth n mountain.
Do yon not think that It Is n trh k of the
railroads to bare that recommendation ap
pear Just before tbe legislature convenes
with a two nud s half cent fare, when
really It ought to be 2 cents?
Of course the "figures nnd facts" will all
be there, nnd the commission*h "thorough
and honest Investlgstlou” will 1m* there, and
withal It will lie u powerful leverage to
Squeeze the tieonlc for the next several
decades out of n half cent n utile more than
they ought to pay.
It Is sufficient to coll your attention to
this fact—or Is It a fancy of mine?
