Other cities do this and get gnn na low a* M cents, with s profit to the city. This should be done at once. The Georgian and New* believe* that If street rail way* can l»e operated suceesafnlly by European cltlea. na they are, there la no good reaaon why they can not. he ao operated here But we do not believe this van be done now, and It may ba some year* before we are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta riujnM act Its free In that direction Persons leaving tbe city can have The Georgian and News mailed to them regularly by send ing, their order to The Georgian office. Changes of nddross will be made as often as desired. United States Senator C. B. Culber son writes the Confederate Veteran his thanks for copies of the magazine with sketch and picture of John Pelham. "The Gallant Pelham," the South's famous artillerist, stating: "By the way, while everybody calls Pelham major, the official records show that General Lee wrote a letter to President Davis aftor Pelham's death, recom mending that, notwithstanding his .death, he should be made lieutenant colonel, and puriuant to this recom mendation President Davis sent his name to the senate, and he was con firmed as lloutonant colonel of artil lery. This, to my mind, under all the circumstances," says Senator Culber son, “la the most remarkable honor conferred upon any mnn during the Civil war." The Norfolk I^dgcrDlspatch quotes critically the Georgia day dispatches from the exposition and takes Issue with some of The Georgian's compari sons of the evening habit of the ntoqk- Ing-blrd. Which gives ns at laat the opportunity to render tribute where tribute Is due and to say that The Georgian's excellent Georgia day dis patch from Jamestown was erroneous ly credited to the editor, when the real author was Mr. James Kirby, a brilliant member of the editorial staff of The Ledser-Dlspatch, The News and Courier Is on a con stant highwayman's hunt for notable persons whom It may claim for South Carolina. Its latest attempt at annex ation Is to claim MIsh Stella Tate, who christened the battleship Georgia. We - have been imtlent under provlous provocations, but wo warn The News and Courier that It Is going too far. First thing you know some goaded Texan will rise up and Inquire of The News and Courier why all the great Texans and Georgians claimed to be born In the Fhlmctto Stato dldu’t stay there. Senator Foraker just cannot permit those Brownsville negroes to be found guilty until after the Ohio election. Wherefore he whitewashes the stain left by tbe evidence and the commit tee's report. Hobson, of Alabama, by defeating Bankhead for congress'.simply elected him to the senate. If this is not pluck ing victory from defeat we have not seen that historic act performed. Tbe Impression deepens that The Washington Herald missed tbe chance <d Its life In not engaging General Ku- roki's four English words In contro versy. It does look strange that the malice and the mendacity of the "cut It out” dispatch could have been found In a man living in Atlanta. , The Washington Herald scores a hit when It declares that the people will chooBe their next president, without regard to Mr. Roosevelt's wishes. mured by sustained charm and ,-ement Mrs. Potter Palmer Is the American belle of tbo half cea- "THE ROOSEVELT OP DEMOCRACY.” In that essential element of ag-grestlve force which has made thfl president both famous and effective, the chief. If not the only Democratic counterpart. Is the governor-elect of Georgia. There are many fine and able gentlemen in tbe front rank of our Democracy. Thero are statesmen and thinkers, orators and diplomats, politicians and publicists In overflowing store. Thero aro many who would shine In senates, scintillate in congresses and be wise In counsel. But there Is only one In all our rank who looms Rooseveltlan In the realm of force. The cry of every troubled time Is for the man of force. Whether in war or politics, In revolution or In economlo storm, the heart of the peo ple goes out to the strong man. And neither eloquence nor counsel, neither experience nor political diplomacy will satisfy the peoplo who are look ing for strength. Hoke Smith's election in Georgia was the response of the people to tbo need of a strong man in the era of economic crises—la the struggle against tltantlc Influences which bad heretofore been all powerful to con trol. In the public concept it was no time for children, and above Intel lect and above courage, and above popularity it was the breathing suggestion of power In the personality of the man, which swept tho ballots of Georgia Into the mightiest majority of Its modern history. There was something physically and temperamentally mas sive and big about the governor-elect which answered the yearn ing In the people. Hoke Smith loomed like a locomotive on tbe track of tho public needs, and thundered like an engine down the highway of pub lic opinion. There was no suggestion of the hand-car or the accommoda-. tlon train about him. Ho was a Baldwin locomotive ready for the through lines and the heavy freights—at cheaper rates. It Is Just so nationally. The governor-elect has Impressed the coun try as he Impressed the state. There Is something In the grasp of his strong hand upon affairs which fills the national as welt as the local need. It is that same firm, big touch which made this provincial lawyer the won der of Cleveland's sablnet In the Instant and comprehensive vigor of his ad ministration of that most complicated of all government'departments—the Interior. No man who has ever seen Hoke Smith or who has come In con tact with him physically or in the forum or on the hidings has failed to recelvo the Impress of that great quality of force which makes tho lead er of men and the master of revolutions. It Is In this element and equipment that the governor-elect of Geor gia is superior In our Judgment to all other men who have been listed from the Democratic rank to assume the reins of government In these mo mentous times. He is the only counterpart The Georgian knows In either party to that great and all conquering personality that holds tho helm of state today. He la ths only man In 'public life outside of Roose velt who has the qualities, rugged yet discreet, powerful yet polite, who can hold the Arm hand between factions and administer the government In fearless and Impartial strength. Lacking only the position, tbe prestige, the band-upon-the-machlnery and the enemy-iipon-the-run—Hoke Smith could be what Roosevelt la—the master of the situation, the strong man for the troubled time. Hoko Smith In Roosevelt's shoes would be not unequal to Roosevelt In the Issues of today. And this Idea Is growing In the state and In the republic. How, then, If we Democrats aro to put our fortunes once more to tho touch of the battle against the great president or tbe wearer of his party tnantlo— If we are to measure strength In 1908 against the administration which has pleased tho people—bow can we better appeal to the masses than In the person and prestige of the nearest man In nil our ranks to the man In the White House who has caught tho country's confidence? If we are not willing to combine In an "era of good feeling" upon the one man whom we trust and like, then In the name of all discretion, let us appeal to the country In a Democratic Roosevelt who will carry thp suggestion of the strong man to tho ballots of the people. Tho temperamental kinship of Hoke Smith to Theodoro Roosevelt of fers tho best hopo of Democratic success In the campaign of 1908. WHAT THE AUDITORIUM IS FOR. The plans of Bruce & Morgan have been submitted to the committee appointed on the building of tbe Auditorium-Armory and are now under consideration. Tho ability of the architects and the watchfulness of the committee are both conceded nnd the best results aro hoped for. It Is not untimely, however, to renew onco more the primal consider- ntlon which should abide In tho minds of both the architects and tho com mittee until this great enterprise is finished. Tbo Qeorglau Is perfectly willing to be regarded at a nuisance In this matter, and Is equally willing to weary by reiteration when there Is good to bo accomplished. The Auditorium Is "a place to hear In." Wo have said this a hundred times before, and It Is quite likely that we shall say It a hundred times again. All the stately sweep of architecture, the curvet and arches of tho architect, tho entrances, the exits, tho warmth and the ventilation, tho comfort of the seats and tho light that falls on stage and audience aro matters worthy of serious consideration, but over all and sub ordinating all other considerations Is the greet central necessity that the people can hear what Is said or sung or played In the Auditorium-Armory. If this Is not accomplished, the work of the architect Is a failure; It this Is not accomplished, the work of t\}o committee Is a failure. No repute cau come to either architect or commlttea If the acoustics of this hall are Imperfect and unsatisfactory. It will bo too late to euro the defect when the hall Is finished. The whole genluB of the architect and the whole energy and care of the com mittee should be concentrated upon this point We do not have and have nevor bad any doubt as to the perfection of the other arrangements. Tbo other considerations are easy to accomplish. One has only to go to other halls In other cities to duplicate exactly their best conveniences for comfort nnd convenience. nut acoustics Is an eluslvo science and requires the best skill and the subtlest Ingenuity of all who are Interested. Once more The Georgian Is willing ttf weary the architects and the committee with a new and emphatic Injunction to study tho question of acoustics day and night. We may say for our own comfort and the comfort of those who real ise the necessity of hearing as we do. that our Auditorium-Armory Is mod eled pretty closely after the line* of the great Kansas City auditorium which la a model both of convenience and acoustics. Out of this fact we derive large hope that we shall be able to attain our desires In a hall of admirable hearing qualities. But we shall not fear to repeat the plea for this quality In this crisis while the plans are approaching completion. No city In the world needs a hall of perfect acoustics more than Atlanta. Our state capitol Is a failure In thla respect. Neither the hall of tbo bouse nor the senate chamber are suited to any public meeting by reaaon of poor acoustics. Every good speaker Is marred and his best ef forts are lost In tkeso Unfortunate halls. Dr. Broughton's present Taber nacle Is the beat hall for hearing given up to public occasions In the city, and If our great Auditorium-Armory provea a failure wo are Indeed unfor tunate. Once more we say to the committee and to the architect that all the triumph of their skill must converge to this point, for if tbe Auditorium- Armory la not a place In which we can hear it may as well not have been “NO OUT IT OUT” FOR GEORGIA. Tho editor of The Georgian, Just returned from the East, desires to I add his testimony to that of the governor of Georgia that there was not I la tact or In suggestion any foundation for tbo statement that the pres!-, i dent at Jamestown suggested any curtailment of the program or was i guilty of the slightest possible discourtesy to Georgia or to the humblest I Georgian who was there. Tho only curtailment of the program In any sense was not wrought at tho central exercises of the day upon tbe reviewing stand when tho presi dent spoke, but was the very discreet and thoroughly Justified action of the governor of Georgia at the reception tendered the president In tho Georgia building when Governor Terrell himself led the way to brevity by greatly curtailing his own speech and leaving out some of those who were to follow him. The great amount of time consumed In the 'military parade render ed this necessary, and the governor's discretion In the matter was com mended by all who were Interested In Georgia day. So far as the editor of The Georgian was concerned, he wag not a part of the program, either suggestively or expectantly, and It was therefore out 'of. the question that any slight. If there had been one, could have reflected itself upon him. , , We make tjjta statement purely In Justice to Governor Terrell, whoso entire conduct In all the matters relating to Georgia day met with the full approval of the ladles and gentlemen of the state who were present The president from first to last was the essence of amiability, hearti ness and good nature to everybody from Georgia and to everybody else on the grounds. • GENEROSITY AT THE GRAND. It Is a source of congratulation that the Fawcett Stock company, now playing a summer season at the Grand theater, should display that mag nanimity In yielding this large auditorium to the president of the Georgia School of Technology for Thursday evening In order that the graduating exercises might be held there. It has long been the custom for the theater to be utilized for this pur pose. Last week President Matheson, of the Tech, went to the man agement of the Grand and asked for the rental of the theater on Thursday- evening. He was Informed that the house had been leased for tho sum mer season to tho Fawcett Stock Company, which was presenting a new production there each week. — It was pointed out that to lay the company off tor a single night would entail the loss of a night's receipts and In addition the expense of the company would continue that night the same as usual. Henry. DeGlve sent for Allen Fawcett, the manager of tpe company, and Introduced him to the head of the Tech, after which the situation was explained. Mr. Fawcett at once tendered him the use of tho Grand for that night, stating that ho would be glad to lay his company off for the evening In or der to help out an Institution which Is doing so much for ths youth of the South. The offor was accepted and the Tech graduation takes placo there Thursday evening with the members of tho Fawcett Stock Company appearing across the footlights as spectators and not as perfornlera. With thla concession there Is entailed a monetary Iosb of several hundred dol lars to the organisation which Is equivalent to a donation of Just this much to Georgia's great Institution of learning. The act of Mr. Fawcett should not go unnoticed or unappreciated by the friends and patrons of this school, for whom ho has thus graciously In convenienced himself In order that he might please them. "QUITE SURPRISING." Washington Herald. In spite of the pooh-poohs and tut- tuts. It Is surprising to note the num ber of people throughout the land who make the some sort of noise about an other term for Roosevelt that Mr. John Temple Graves makes upon divers and sundry occasions.

The expert employed to pass on the efficacy of a centrifugal pump fop tho needs of the waterworks has recom mended that the vertical pump, manu factured by tho Holly Manufacturing Compnny, be bought, stating that the centrifugal pump with the turbine is more or less an experiment and Its pur. chase would be hazardous. The Investigation grew out of the two bids for Installing pumps at the Atlanta waterworks. The bid of the Southern Hydraulic Engineering Cotiw- pany, George F. Hurt, president, was about 890,000, about 870,000 less than the vertical pump bid. There seemed considerable doubt In the Joint committee as to whether or rot the centrifugal pump would answer the purpose, and finally a sub-commlt. tee on pumps was appointed and Dab ney H. Maury, nn expert from Peoria, III., was engaged. The sub-poinmtttec mot Tuesday aft ernoon at 8 o'clock, and the report of the expert, recommending the purchase of the vertical pump, was read. Frank P. Rice, Alderman F. A. Qullllun and Councilman W. A. Hancock were pres, ent. Aldermen E, C. Peters and W. S. Duncan were absent. No definite action will ba taken until Alderman Peters has read the report. The meeting Tuesday afternoon was considerably enlivened by a skirmish of heated words fought out between Alderman Qullllan and Mr. Rice, presi dent of the water board. With the re port of the expert were eeveral letters from Mr. Hurt to the board and copies of letters sent by him to the expert, In which lie said he did not think the In vestigation was being made thorough enough. Mr. Rice did not like the tone of Mr. Hurt'e letters. Mr. Qullllan did not like the tone of Mr. Rice's remarks. Then Mr. Rice did not like the tone of Mr. Qulllian's rejoinder. Mr. Qullllan did not Intend to hurt Mr. Rice's feel ings, nor did Mr. Rice Intend to hurt Mr. Qullllan’s feelings, and the meeting resumed the even tenor of Its way.

The affidavits setting forth the fact that Johnson confessed to the crime for which Branham Is being punished will be presented to the pardon board by Sheriff Nelms, who will himself make a plea Tor Branham's pardon. Solicitor Charlie D. Hill, of the supe rior court, who prosecuted Branham, will also appear before the pardon board and urge that the negro be par doned. Both Solicitor Hill and Sheriff Nelms are convinced that Branham Is Innocent and It Is believed that the par don board will not hesitate to set him free. 1 believe Branham Is Innocent and that he should be given his liberty.” said Sheriff Nelms Wednesday, "and I do not think there Is any doubt as to what action the pardon board will take Thursday.” ■■ J In the ruins of Mttla.

I While tfie next legislative race Is still somewhat In the dim and Indistinct futurity and while prognostications as to prospective candidates are rather premature, political circles are never theless agog with talk of who will and who will not be In the race. At the present time It appears that the legal profession In Atlanta will be practically abandoned, while a number of leading attorneys seek the legisla tive plum. Whether this fact may be taken as an Indication that better moral conditions are prevailing In Fulton county, thus forcing the lawyers to seek other fields, la a question yet unsolved, but there Is the greatest probability that at least eight attorneys will be In the race In the fall of 19(18. Those whose nnmes have been men tioned In connection with the race for the legislature are: Robert R. Shrop shire, Lamar Hill, Lee Langley, E. F. Childress and Walter 81ms. Should those gentlemen enter the race and should the present Incumbents. Repre sentatives Slaton, Blackburn and Bel’ also announce again there will bo eight attorneys In tho field. Attorney Langley Is the only one of the number mentioned who has defi nitely nnnounced his candidacy. Attor ney Childress, It Is said, will be a can didate, although he Jias not yet an nounced. Although Colonel Shropshire Is non-committal, his friends declare that he will be In the race. Attorneys Hill nnd Sims are still on the fence, but It Is thought probable that they will announce their candidacy later. Judged from a distance, the race promises to be the warmest which this section of the state has seen In many years.
