Commissioner W. N. Mitchell.
Commissioner W. N. Mitchell, of the
Jamestown Exposition, sets at rest In
these columns today the rumor that
he Intends to resign the presidency of
that commission.
Which gives The Georgian once
again the opportunity to say that Mr.
Mitchell baa done most valuable and
Intelligent work from first to last In
connection with the Georgia display at
Jamestown. We do not hostltste to
•say that Mr. Mitchell’s efforts were
most largely responsible for Georgia's
being represented at Jameitown at all.
nnd no Intelligent Georgian Is likely to
forget that the happy thought of
erecting Georgia's building as a repli
ca of Bulloch Hall, the ancestral homo
of the president, resulted In the bring
ing of the president to Jamestown for
Georgia day and made Georgia day
not only a glorious success for the
state, but the distinctly successful and
brilliant day of the entire Jamestown
Exposition.
Mr. Mitchell, like most men In these
delicate official positions, has had his
critics In certain phases of tho exposi
tion work, and some of these have
found cause to cavil over minor Inci
dents of Georgia day, but the fact
stands that the part of that great day's
exercises which Mr. Mitchell had In
charge, passed off with great success,
and that he Is eminently worthy of the
thanks and congratulations of the peo
ple for the service which he rendered.
We are glad that he will continue
to serve the exposition and the state.
Mr., Bryan preserves an unruffled
serenity amid the storms that circle
about him.
The “down trodden African'' seems
to be the balance of power In the Re
publican camps of Ohio and Kentucky.
Mr. Hearst seems to be looming
again on the presidential horizon. If
he comes he will have to bo treated
seriously.
If “Cultee” beats Taft In Ohio and
Kentucky, it Is not likely to Improve
the Rooseveltian conception of his
civic qualities.
There are more people than the Re
publicans of Kentucky who want a
man for president who can “make a
noise like Roosevelt.”
And now Bourke Cockran Is consult
ing with Bryan as to the Democratic
platform. This sloes not add to the
cheerfulness of the outlook. Cockran's
sound Is better than his sense.
The Republicans of Kentucky, refus
ing to express any other presidential
preference, have unanimously declar
ed "Fbr a man like Roosevelt." This
sakes Republican Kentucky solid for
Hoke Smith of Georgia.
No, the editor of The Georgian did
>ot make a speech for the convention
if undertakers, but It was not because
ie did not know where to direct those
acellent gentlemen to a very mellow
corpse." >
"LET US CELEBRATE THE FOURTH.”
The suggestion of Colonel Harry Schleslnger for the Fourth of July
has met with a very general indorsement among all classes of people in
the community. v
There are two reasons which Inspire a general concurrence with this
happy and patriotic suggestion.
With the majority we fear theforemost consideration Is the fun and
frolic of a holiday.
And this Is not an unworthy motive. It would Indeed be something
worth while to tho tired clerk and the equally tired employee to cut loose
for a day from the cares and the cob-webs of the office and the couoter
and hie away to the parks and the pondi and the fields for a holiday.
But there Is a higher reason for the Universal concurrence of thlp peo
ple with Colonel Schlcsinger's idea. Never before In these two decades
has the spirit of nationality and the spirit of American patriotism been so
prevalent as It Is today. The president In his catholic policies, tho
Jamestown exposition In Its historic reminiscences, snd the general spirit
of progress have combined to broadcast patriotism and natlohallty
throughout thfc republic. And we think that never before has the occa
sion Ir en better for Impressing In brief but stirring addresses the spirit
of patriotism upon the youth of the country.
We sincerely trust that his honor, the mayor, will lead the movement
by a call for a meeting of citizens to take the occasion In charge. %
Let us lift tho flag of our country from every housetop snd celebrate
the rcpubllfc’B birthday with rejoicing, happiness, heartinesa and hope.

ANOTHER FAKE DI8PATCH
To the Editor of The Georgian:
On gny return to the city today my
attention haa been called to an Inter
view by me suggesting that you were
one of the apeakera on Georgia Day,
and were disbarred.
I beg to say that not being aware In
ony way that you contemplated mak
ing an addrers anywhere, either for
yourself or the city of Atlanta, and no!
being present at the presentation of
the silver service, 1 could hardly have
given utterance to the statement.
Yours truly.

THEATERS
A MATTER OF BUSINESS COMMON SENSE.
It would seem to be almply a matter of clesr common sense In the
business men of Atlanta to encourage and sustain tho Georgia Oil Com
pany as an Institution of this city.
Tho reasons for this statement we will now proceed to make plain.
Tho Georgia Oil Company charges 11 cents a gallon for oil.
Tho Standard Oil Company charges 10 cents a gallon for oil.
These two statements standing by themsolres would seem to destroy
tho original proposition and commend the monopoly and condemn the
competing company.
But receive a word In explanation.
In the city of Macon tho people who use oil are paying at last reports
14 cents a gallon to the Standard Oil monopoly. In the town of Mariet
ta, which la one of our suburbs, they are paying 13 cents a gallon to the
Standard Oil monopoly, and In the mountainous cities of the state tho
Standard Oil exacts a charge of 17 cents a gallon.
How, then, docs It happen that tho Standard only charges 10 cents a
gallon to the people of Atlanta?
Why simply and solely because of the existence here of the Georgia
Oil Company.
if tho Georgia OH Company wore not hero the people of Atlanta
would he paying from 121-2 to 14 cents a gallon for oil.
When tho Georgia Oil Company came to this city a year ago, the
Standard was charging 12 1-2 cents a gallon for oil.
The reason why tho Standard charged Atlanta then without competi
tion less than it charges Macon today Is because Atlanta has always been
tho danger point for competition with the Standard and because It was
tho Standard's policy to charge lower prices here In order to stave off or
keep out a possible comi>ot!tlon.
When the Georgia OH Company came to Atlanta, the monopoly re
duced Its prices: Tho Georgia company fell step oy step In competition
until It reached the piano of H cents.
At 11 cents Iho Georgia OH Company honestly halted becauso It
could not sell oil at a profit lower than that price and was only stand
ing for an honest competition. *
But the monopoly Immediately reduced its price to 10 cents a gallon
for oil.
If the Georgia company had followed suit and reduced Its price to 10
cents the monopoly would have Immediately fallen to 9 cents.
And tho monopoly. If necessary, would havo given away Its oil, and It
necessary to destroy Its competitor, would have added a chromo to the
gl ti
lt Is told upon good authority to Illustrate this point that tho monopo
ly some years ago to destroy competition In Griffin not only gave away
Its oil but later on gave a can with the oil that It gave away.
So that wo say that tho monopoly alwnys falls Just far enough be
low competition to destroy competition.
In order to re-establish monopoly.
Now, then, since last August tho Standard Oil monopoly has denied
Itself 21-2 cents a gallon for its oil In order to defeat and destroy the
Georgia OH Company.
There are twelve hundred thousand gallons of oil consumed annually
In Atlanta.
There arc one hundred thousand gallons consumed a month.
So that the mere presence of the competing Georgia Oil Company
hus saved to consumers within that time between thirty and thirty-five
thousand dollars In Atlanta.
Tho mere presence of the Georgia Oil Company In competition saves
to Atlanta consumers at least 21-3 cents on each gallon of oil that they
consume.
Is It not, therefore, a clear, and perfectly obvious business policy for
tho people of Atlanta to at leant share their patronage with the Georgia
Oil Company In order to keep It In existence and to preserve competition?
Tho Georgian Is not suggesting a boycott of the Standard OH monop
oly and Is not seeking to destroy Its property. The Georgian simply
suggests that the people should st least share their pntronago In oil'
with the Georgia OH Company oven If they pay a trifle more, because by
preserving the Georgia OH Company they keep down the price of oil to a
limit very much lower than is paid anywhere else In the state.
Is It not bettor to buy half of your oil at 11 cents and half at 10 cents,
which Is a general price of 101-2 cents, than It would be to buy all of
your oil at 121-2 cents or 14 cents, which you surely would pay If you
should pormlt the Georgia Oil Company to die ss s competitor?
It Is simply Inconceivable that business men of Atlanta could fall to
realize the common sense of this proposition and help by their patronage
to keep the Georgia OH Company In active existence In tho city.
Mr. T. R. Me Andrews, president of the Merchants’ Association of At
lanta; Mr. Clarence Tappan, secretary snd *~v—<er of that association,
give earnest and practical lndorsemeent to thii 7. (position by patronizing
tho Georgia company and they feel that It Is the best snd soundest of pol
icies to preserve this wholesome and effective competition to the consum
ers In Atlanta.
Tho Georgian without any other Interest than the Interests of the peo- that It'is'from the peri of William Gil'
pie. submits the common sense of tho proposition, nnd without a dollar' ;
of profit or reward, commends thc^Qeorgla OH Company to the Intelligent
and practical consideration and support of the people.

THE "CENTRAL” AND THE EATONTON TRAIN
The petition of tho business men of Macon to the Central railway
for tho restoration of the Eatonton train seems to be so well founded
In common Sense and In Justice that we fall to see how the officers of
that corporation can find an excuse for refusing to grant It.
Tho Central railway has maintained this train for many years, and It
does seem singular, as the Macon petitioners aver, that It should have
been pronounced unprofitable only at this late day when both travel and
freights aeem to be heavier In volume than they have been In many years.
Tbe public sentiment of the state seems to be crystallizing around
tho Idea that railroads are common carriers, and that In return for cer
tain largo privileges and valuable franchises granted them by the state, It
la their duty to servo the public and to develop the state as well as to
make money for themselves.
We do not desire to be misunderstood when we say that we think
the Central railroad should restore this Eatonton train even if It Is not
profitable at this time, provided the aggregate receipts of the road from
all Ita branches show a clear profit to the stockholders. In other words.
If the patronage of Georgia on all its various lines enrich the railroad, the
railroad In turn should be willing to aid In the development and prosperi
ty of some of Its lines even if they are not Immediately profitable.
There can he no doubt under reasonable business conditions that tha
Increasing growth and development of this section of the state will In
crease In large measure the revenues of the Central railway from this par
ticular line.
And we do not fall to appreciate both the Interests of the road and of
the people when we express the hope that a further consideration will In
duce the Central management to gnawer a request so largely and so in-
flucutlally signed by the great central city of Ita lines.

keep the audience roaring from the be

It Is said that Ralph Stewart and hla

performance, and. Judging from tho
complimentary notices that have- been
given the comedy In other cities, local

for them next week at the Casino. Seats

'PON My WORD! THAT CHAP
MUSI BE MARK 7WAIM
London, June 21.—Mark Twain made
Londoners gasp by a little exhibition of
eccentricity when he appeared In the
foyer of Brown's Hotel this morning
garbed In a blue bath robe and slip
pers, with about three Inches of bore
legs showing. The sidewalks were
thronged with pretty shop girls on
their way to work. They stopped short
and gazed In astonishment at the great
American humorist as he made his
way toward the bath club, nearly op
posite the hotel.
After hi* bath, Mark Twain returned
to his hotel In his three-piece costume
of one bath robe and two slippers, and
had the pleasure of making a lot more
people Open their eyes very wide. The
manager of the hotel was aghast as he
saw Twain enter the hotel, but did not
make a fuss. His feelings were that a
great man like Mark Twain must be
allowed to do as he pleased.
Mark Twain profesaed to wonder at
the excitement he caused. "I simply
wanted to take a bath," he said, "and
did a thing often done at the seaside.
London Is a sort of seaside town, isn't
it?”
Mark Twain today will renew his ac
quaintance with King Edward, having
a special invitation to the king's great
garden party at Windsor.
CLIENT HOLDS UP HIS ATT'Y
AND SKIPS WITH OWN $2,000
St. Paul, Minn., June 21.—After his
lawyer-had received a voucher for
12,000 In settlement of a personal In
jury suit against the Soo, railroad,
Willis E. Grove Injected a melodramat
ic element Into the case by holding up
tils attorney, W. E. Dampler, at ths
point of a revolver in his office, taking
the voucher and making a “get away."
The attorney had Just received the
voucher and sent for Grove to como
into his private office to talk over some
minor claims. Grove came but pre
sented a gun. "I'll take that,” he
said, aa he grabbed the voucher. .
Grove disappeared before the attor
ney could get a warrant for Ills ar
