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. To say to the world that we are bigger than Memphis. Birming ham end Nashville Is at last the chief end of our Greater Atlanta. —Atlanta Georgian. And when Greater Atlanta does My It she will bo lying worse than a 1907 weather prophet.—Mem phis Kews-Sclmitar. 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. Literary circles are commenting up on the entrance of Thos. Club Shooter. Let us hope that ha la not a repeater. It haa been established by the free discussion that reformed paragraphers can go to heaven. The unrepentant are condemned to remain In Texas. "Jamestown." "Jawger" and "John Smith." There'a alliteration for you. And after all. there haa been no controversialist who baa eared to dls- pate the pre-eminent fitness of Hoke Smith for the Democratic nomination —If there ie one. There does not seem to be any real hope for a reunited Democracy until The Charleston Newa and Courier and The Houston Poit can be detached from the Idol worship of Alton B. Parker. The Savannah Press and The Ms 1 con Telegraph still continue to Insist that there ere other Issues than preda- j tory wealth in Ita relations to the people. The Georgian concedes the 1 point But they are century old Is-.i sues and have waited and can wait, i ^ until thla present pressing, vital prob- j P 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. I 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.
