Personals of Georgians. THE HONEST PENDLETON—The Macon Telegraph, which la not always flattering, but which Is always brave and honest, expresses wonder nt the littleness and evident malice ot Bpmc ot the specials which have When racing over the wires from the capital city of Georgia seeking to reflect upon a con temporary oven at the expense ot s president. CHARLES T. HOPKINS—The ele ments ot law and order In this com munity are scarcely under greater ob ligations to any cltlsen than to Colo nel Charles Hopkins, ot tho Civic League. We earnestly commend to Colonel Hopkins the conditions Illustrated by the last negro excursion on the Atlan ta and West Point railroad, and urge upon his attention the possibility ot service either In an effort to suppress future negro excursions or to find a way to dlapoasesi the attending ne groes ot their weapons and their whisky. ANDERSON OP CHATHAM—Few men Who have been to tho legislature In recent years have left a better nud more wholesome Impress than the ac complished gentleman whn was Chat ham'* admirable representative. The Georgian Is reminded of Mr. Anderson by a casual reading of tho comptrol ler'! report, which reveala an Inter esting fact. Under the rules ot the legislature every member Is entitled not only to his sslary but (o 10 cents a mile on hli passage to and from his home during the session. Mr. Ander sen lives In Savnnnah. nenrly three hundred miles away, and hI a mileage would have been an Item ot considera ble moment to which he was fully en titled under the taw. Rut with that high sense of public and private honor which won him so many frtendi and admirers, the rep resentative from Chatham, bnvlug a pass In his pocket as bis fellow mem ber* did, quietly refrained from col lecting one dollar of the money which the state provided for tho payment of bis traveling expenses. We believe that In this respect An- deraon, of Chatham, stood almost alone among Ms fellows, and tho best of It la that ho never boasted of this Instance of public virtue, which comes to The Georgian through an Incidental reading of the comptroller's report. TEXAS CORRUPTING THE CARO- LINAS.—The effect of evil association has rarely had a more lamentable II- Instntton than In the case of The News and Courier. A few months of boastful controversy with Tho Hous ton Post, joined to a dally swatfest ot basaball, has demoralized the staid and Tollable leading paper of South Carolina Into the most arrant claim agent of the journalistic flcld. Its par ticular tine of greed consists In the desire to claim for Carolina every prominent man who Is before the public In the surrounding states, and not only men but even cities are gath ered Into the rapacious maw of The New* and Courier’s state pride. When The Charlotte Observer, which Is as *t an amateur In this line, modestly vaunts the advantage ot that commer cial town, our Brother Hemphill promptly claims the men who make it. Including the Tompkinses, the Lat- las, the Springses, the Heaths and a regiment of others, as coming from Soqth Carolina. And not content with this, our Charleston contemporary, whose eyee are larger than ltt capacity to assim ilate, even presumes to point to our own beautiful Augusta on this side of the Savannah with the remark: "It rightfully belongs to South Carolina.” Verily, The Houston Ptflt has much to answer tor, and a revival of modes ty Is In order to begin at the head quarters of a noted Texas Bsyou. THE VOICE OF A REVOLUTION. Beginning and ending his great Inaugural with an invocation to Al mighty God, Hoke Smith assumed the reins of authority as tho governor of Georgia today. In words simple, clear and unaffected, but resonant with strength and vibrating with purpose and courage, the governor marshals Into speech the militant Issues of his triumphant campaign and sets In order the legislation for which tho people declared In the might of a magnifi cent majority. Tho massive figure of the governor formed a majestic frame for bis lofty speech, but the courage and the purpose that pulsed It were better than any material thing, because they spelled that high resolve which could never stop this side of execution, Tho Inaugural speech appears In full In our columns today and no thoughtful citizen of Georgia will fall to read and ponder It Ono Is struck In tho beginning with tho absence of ultra-radicalism In the new governor's opening announcement. Firm and definite as are the reforms for which he stands, clear and distinct as are tho demands for the regulation of corporate wealth, unflinching as tho call for the establishment of racial superiority and vigorous as the demsnd for the purity of elections and the reform of politics, they are yet voiced In a conservatism which does not Ignore the Just claims of cither corporations, races or existing systems. To suppress lobbying, to destroy free passes, to put money out of pol itics and chicanery out of elections, to fix the franchise standard to the permanent rule of tho white man, to regulate the primaries by law, to reg ulate railroads and public service companies, to amend the railroad com missions law and to Increase the power of the commission, to establish a legal control of rates of freight and transportation, to.purify educational boards of politics, and to establish education upon a sound and lofty basis, to oncourago agriculture, and to train the children of Georgia to meet tho responsibilities of life, asking the help of God In the discharge of his own solemn, high responsibilities—these make up In outline the measure of a noble end statesmanlike Inaugural, whoso separate phases w# shall later In detail and In deliberation consider. There Is something more In the great scene of today than a mere change of state administration. It was Act IV, Scene I in the drama of Revolution. Act I was the announcement of a strong, brave man for office on high lines of vital reform. Act II was canvass and campaign herolo and ag gressive. Act lit was the storm of ballots that won for the people. Tho curtain rises today upon Act IV, which Is set to legislation and to establishment In wisdom,'In Justice and moderation. Tomorrow comes Act V, and last, In which a strong man, clothed with authority, stands for fulfillment and execution. When the curtain rings down upon the last scene of the flfth act, there will have been wrought In Georgia a revolution—economic, political, moral and social—by which we believe the people will be bettered, and their entire system of politics Improved. There Is a quarter of a century of mistaken drift behind the current turned Into a new and nobler channel today. It Is neither true nor kind to Bay that the politics behind us havo been all bad, or that the public men thnt moved them have been all mistaken or corrupt There are great names and great men and good measures shining In the twonty years of history thnt stands behind today. There Is honesty of purpose, fervor of patriotism, and judgment In construction. Slowly nnd almost Imperceptibly, however, there have grown out of theso constructive and progressive decades, drifts that have been dan gerous, customs thnt havo been undemocratic, policies that havo been forgetful of the people, and Influences that have been selfish and oppres sive. Slow are the people to anger and difficult to arouse out ot apathy. Con fiding nnd easily contented, they wait long' before they rise to protest But when thoy rise they come like a whirlwind, a* In tho ballots of Au gust. , The whole economic and personal theory of our politics Is In recon struction under the hands ot this strong, new governor, and the strong, clear men who surround him. The people art their tnuttfs and their watchword Is Popular Rights. tf, then, work he done ns wisely and as firmly as we expect It, there will bo a now Georgia and a now people when the commission of today Is laid down In time. The times domand the strongman. Honesty and force are the re quirements of tho economic crisis In which wo movo. Courago and brains are the qunlltles to win the battle ot the people. The clear head, the fear less heart, the honest purposo and the strong hand are the qualities which loom In a day like this. Who shall say that the rrovldence which watches over Georgia has not sent her the man for the hour? THE COMMON SENSE OF DEMOORAOY. In tho common sense ot the cltlsen ot tha South, tha argument runs this way: What Is n Democrat? By etymology, a Democrat Is one who believes In tha rule of tho people. Practically and historically speaking, a Democrat Is a voter who hns adopted the principles enunciated and the organisation founded by Thom as Jefferson upon the central Idea of securing equal rights to all and spe cial privileges to none. It was an organisation established upon the idea of conserving tho greatest good of the greatest number, of protesting against the domination of the masses by tha aristocratic ctaaaes, and standing for such laws and such legislation as would dovelop the great body of the people and make them both prosperous and happy. So far ns our simple intelligence has been able to understand It, the Democratic party was never Intended to set up a worship ot names or an Idolntry of Individuals. It was never Intended to perpetuate office In the hands of a few Individuals, nud wo ore qulto sure that It was not In the heart or the brain of Its founders to adhere to Ita organisation any longer than that organization was the best equipped and the most faithful to ac complish the purpose ot Its founding and the ends ot Its existence. This view Is either truo or untrue. If It Is not true all that we have to say Is unnecessary nnd Illogical. If It la true, we can afford to follow tho reflection a little further. Stripped ot all pretense, separated from all partisanship, cut off from temporizing conditions, every man knows without a definition that the whole puritoso of Democracy In government Is to make the government an Instrument In tho hands of the whole people to carry out their will nnd to establish their liberty, their equality and their prosperity. Now then, there are times when certain Issues carry this principle more comprehensively nnd more urgently than other Issues. There have been periods in our party history when tho doctrine of states' rights transcended every other Issue. At tho present time It Is not so, since we havo iho leader of our party, Mr. Ilryan, In favor of carrying federal reg ulation and Intervention much further than many Republicans would do. There have been times when the tariff was tho supreme Issue which di vided the two parties. At this tlmo there are high tnrlff Democrats and low tariff Democrats. There are Republican revisionists like tho presi dent, and tariff stand-patters like Fairbanks and Foraker. There was a time not long ago when the money question was the transcendent Issue, but at this time no man could put hls Anger upon the vital difference be tween the two parties upon this question of finance. Whatever may have been Imminent and pressing at other times, It Is a fact which no honest man can or will deny that the supreme and tran scendent Issue which concerns the people at this tlmo Is the regulation ot predatory wealth, the control of tho railroads and other corporation! and the compulsion of tho rich to bear tbelr duo share In the burdens of a government by whose privileges and under whose protection they are en riched. Just now this Is the Issue In which the people are supremely con cerned. It la the people's Issue. Therefore, by etymology and by the spirit of tho founders It ts the Democratic Issue. There Is no Issue to Demo cratic, there la no test which may be so truly applied to the followers of the party of Jefferson, the party of Jackson and the party of Calhoun. So, then, logically and fearlessly tho test of real Democracy today Is fidelity to the people’s side of this great Issue. The real Democrat la tho mat who In this great emergency Is the truest to the rule, the rights and tho Interests of the people. No matter what be has been called, no matter what he may be call ed, the man who Is now a Democrat and the greatest Democrat Is'the man who Is the most loyal to the people's side of this great Issue and best qualified to carry the people's side to a triumphant issue at the polls In the legislative halls and In tbs executive office. . Now, then, apply this test, fearlessly, honestly and fairly. WhoTs the man of all the men now living and moving and controlling In America who is not only loyal to the people's side of this great question, but best qualified to carry the people's Interest to triumphant legislation and to effective execution? If Democracy consists In seeking to make the gov ernment an instrument In the hands ot the people to carry out their will, we simply challenge American fairness and American common sense to answer whether President Roosevelt and Governor Hughes are not by the record as good Democrats as any who are breathing and moving and fighting at the present time. Let us firmly agree than they are no bet? ter. Let ns concede frankly that Roosevelt and Governor Hughes nev er eaw the time or the day In their lives when they were more loyal to the people than Bryan and Hearst In this emergency or more anxious to see the people's rights established in fairness and In equality without anarchy and without Injustice, - ' Then comes tho great question of practical bearing to us all. There are Democratic Republicans and Republican Democrats who are moving fearlessly, earnestly and honestly to this great end ot regulating predatory wealth and of controlling railroads and other corporations. Who Is approximately as well equipped to fight this cause and to win this battte as tho president of the United States? Let us grant' that there are men of equal courage, equal loyalty, equal ability and equal executive force In tho Democratic rank and In the Re publican rank. But with this granted, Is there any man who can add to theso qualtles the Incomparable advantage of position, of knowledge of the machinery of government, of experience In the fight, with the pres tige of success behind him, and with tho enemy on the run? We simply challenge the Intelligence and honesty of the American voter, whether Democratic or Republican, with this question. Is there upon the horizon of American politics any man, Democratic or Republican, who combines In himself all the qualities of patriotism, loyalty, courage, ability, executive force, experience In government, grasp of af faire, familiarity with the machinery ot government, the prestige of success and the-enemy-on-the-run—save one man—and thnt man tho Invincible and Successful general who as chief executive of this republic, established In the White House and bulwarked In power, Is fighting and winning this Armageddon of popular liberty? Here, then. Is the situation In a nutshell. It Is not disloyalty, but the highest and most Intelligent loyalty to the Democratic party, to Democratic ideals and to Democratic principles to secure their triumph through this man who Is best equipped to lead them on to victory. We believe that this sentiment, far from weakening, will grow. We believe ihat It will be stronger In December than It was In April. We believe that with the dawning of another year the Democratic party and the Republican party will be found as divided, as Incoherent, as faction al and as indifferent by division as they are today. If so, what will there he left to a great and Intelligent people, but to realise that the terms Democrat nnd Republican havo now nothing fixed or tangible about them? They are but outworn symbols and those who use them use them without a clear apprehension of what they denote to day or what they ceased to denote many years ago. The logic and trend of the times point to the “Era of Good Feeling" and to the merging of parties as the policy of common sense nnd the highest patriotism. It Is the thing to do, the sensible thing, the brave thing, the patriotic thing and the Democratic V 4 T For us In Georgia our duty Is clear until that tlmo. Let us stand by our great governor who Is the definite and militant reformer of the Demo cratic South. Let us hold up hls hands. Let us help him to put Into statutes and to prove In execution the will of the people as expressed In hls election. And when this day of "Good Feeling” dawns we may be sure that he who has said no word and made no motion to seek any per sonal preferment from Its drift, will be turned to by both parties and by all sections as the man ot all men In force, In character, In record, to stand side by Bide with the president of tho whole peoplo as hls asso ciate, hls second and hls co-operative Inspiration. This Is not the suggestion of Governor Smith. It Is our own sugges tion. But It has force and frankness and common sense to the brim ot It for a people who need ns much and hope as much and deserve as much as wo do. Let (is stand by tho governor ot Georgia and by the things for which he stands, and the future In Its fulness and In Its reward will Justify our faith. PEACE SCRAP BOOK WITH TWO MILES OF CLIPPINGS. A sidelight on the Immense Interest taken by tho American press In tho question of International pcaco and The Hague conference Is being thrown on that movement by tho compilation of a scrap-book of monu mental proportions, Work on this book is now being pushed forward In New York city. Tho scrap-book Is the result of a collection of clippings nindo by Burrelle, of New York, on order from Hayne Davis, secretary of the American Branch of tho Association for International Conciliation. These clip pings covor tho events leading up to and during the recent peace con ference held in Carneglo hall. Now York, and show an Immense Interest, In all parts of tho United States, In the universal peace question. When the order for tho clippings was given, Andrew D. White and Andrew Carnegie, the honorary presidents, and Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, who was the presiding officer at the New York conference, did not anticipate anywhere near the general In terest which was shown, and when Secretary Davis reported that tho or der bad resulted In thirty-two thousand nine hundred and seventy-seven clippings, the officials were greatly astonished at the vast volume ot news paper notice. * After the conference the question of preserving the clippings be came a matter of paramount lmimrtanco. The excerpts were of doubtful value In separated form, and It was decided that the only and proper way to give them perpetuity was to place them In a large scrap-book. This book, It was decided, should bo sent to The Hague conference and ar rangements were made for Its preparation, compilation, binding and trans mission later to The Hague, where It will be received by the officers of the American branch, and presented with due ceremony to the confer ence Itself. The book will find a final resting-place In tho new marblfl palace of peace, nnd will prove not only a souvenir of transcendent In terest, but a store house of Information for future workers In tho cause of the pacification of the world. The book Is now being mado at the rooms of the American society at No. 042 Fifth avenue. There several rooms are given up to a corps of workers, nearly all of them young girls expert In this kind of work. The book will be the largest scrap-book of Its kind In tho world when completed. It will weigh about 250 pounds and contain nearly two miles of newspaper reading matter. The only other book which approximates it In size Is the now famous Dewey Album, which has found a permanent home in the Smithsonian Institute at Washington. The Dewey Album was prepared by tbo same clipping expert, Burrelle, and has heretofore been considered qulto tho most remarkable scrap-book ever put together. Mr. Davis Is now In The Hague attending the sessions of tho imams congress, and will recclvo tho book on or before July 15th. The peace editorials of The Georgian have a place In this great com pendium of comment upon what Is perhaps the noblest movement of the world. SON OF POLICEMAN MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING.

To the Editor of The Georgian: I hud hoped that the report of the corn niltteo of ten would Dftvc taken a wider scope In th* 'discus * mlttee of forty-two. . slon and more than half of that period consumed by the subcommittee gnvo the thirty-two members very little time for dis cussion. I (ink space In your columns to give a few facts which 1 think hnve bear ing on the subject. The question should tie disrobed of nil sentimentalism. To do so, because other cities ore doing or will do. Is poor policy, Three-fourths of the mortgage* ou tht home* of Atlanta today were onu*ed by ‘lit* self-Mm ‘ “ rlth some on o run the «... .... "My neighbor bn* n fine house; I must ebulld." , *lf * *“ ‘ ‘ . must get c.._. announce Mr. has borrowed from so many thousand dollars! This extension should lie n business prob lem, pure nnd simple, nnd the question Is. Will the parties at Interest lose thereby? And, If so, nre they able to sustnln the loss? To «ny thnt the new territory will be self-sustaining can not be shown by the facts. There nre embraced In the report of the committee of ten six iminlclpnllti itlnr 1 — — — mlttee, the taxes fbnt won! these six municipalities would only amount to 162,800, not sufficient to pny for the mnr schools nnd Are protection—to grstni nothl Ing of the Increased expenses In the two Items nlone. from whence lire we to secure funds With which to pure streets, lay sidewalks, furnish lights, Imlld sewers, extend wnter mains, giro sanitary service— In these outlying sections the |8 snnltnry tux will not pny one-third the nctunl ex- ise. We sre told these Improvements nre — 1* made In Are years—five times 162.500 equals $312,500. The school and Are com pany houses nlone will cost fully thnt amount. Not only this, but several of these Xilltles have Indebtedness hanging ».»grr Miein which has to be taken care of. •Inking fuuds provided snd annual Interest accounts met. Hnve we wnter sufficient to divide with ..lem? This Is n very sertons question. The present city conld not Ik* deprived of water even for one dny without serious loss and privation. Now, since the amount thnt would ronie Incident to their taking In, how sum lie supplemented? Hnve we one dob lnr to give them? I say, no! Sixty year* ngo Atlanta received from the legislature her charter. In sixty years we have been ahle to pave not yet two-thirds of our afreets, have no wnter or sowers on at least one-fourth of them. And yet, ] be lieve tho city councils have been n* liberal In theso respects as the Income of the city would warrant. No committee In conned la so carefully selected as tha finance committee, nnd none la so earnest and painstaking In their work. I believe they make n dollar go an fnr ns It will expand, for seven yenra I have seen them wrestlo with theso Inter nal Improvement problems, and I know they have been earnest nud faithful. . No, the funds will not stretch sufficient to cover mtr present ft tea; snd when you Increase tho ares 300 per cent nnd the in come lest* than 33 per cent how can ws Improve the situation. home one may suggest to Issue bonds. New York and Baltimore, who have had snd etperlencen along this line, nnd who nre now suffering most seriously therafroiu. would advise ns to go slow on bond Issues. It takes this year to meet tho sinking fund demands and pay the accruing Interest on bonds already issued $220,000, not far from 10 per cent of our total income spent before collected. Whits I think the next generation should bear In part the burdens of permanent Ira* provfuiouti. the Idea should not go so fur as to impoverish our children. In Issuing iNinds, you do not carry the final payment beyond the lives of our own children. In fact, the burdens even begin to fall upon us, for the slnklug fund and Interest accounts start nt their very Incep tion! Almost like n lonn made to be paid Irnek In monthly payments. Better Increase taxes nnd let bond issues stop whore they are. As to extension. I think We should lop off East Point—letting the city boundary be the Hue between land lots 135 nud 136, 121 nud 122, and let the county line on the east be the limit. In other respects, let the plan n* suggested by the Committee of tea be adopted. Prior to 1920, the west half of DeKalb county should bo annexed to Fulton, and then Incorporate Into the elty limits entire county of Fulton. Now la the time to put tho world ou hotloe that this will be done—nnd then no one will l»e able to say. "Wo havo boon taken bv surprise." This much hns been written because of my Interest In Atlanta ns nti offleer nnd a taxpayer. I hnve seen the city grow from - lunge of less than 3,000 people to much In the winio old way. If wo were able, I would be enthusiasti cally In favor of taking Into our limits East Point, Edgewood, Kirkwood and Decatur— their people nre among tho best. In Deca tur, my father and mother Were married more than sixty-nre years ago, and there began life’s Journey together. There my •o older brothers were born. Of course, would bo delighted to see It become a part of Atlnntn, but now Is not tho time. The promise made on Tuesday nt tho meeting of tho committee of forty-two wns that ench member of Wild committee served th< feature came up _ _ _ _ _ ...... to an appropriate committee for considers tlon. It now soeinn to lie thp desire of some to engineer It through council on n fast schedule. Tht* Is not fair, I am certain n large vote would have lieen recorded ngnlnst tho report In the committee of for- ty-two If our action had been ns a court of Inst resort—possibly a majority. The committee should have held the mat* olonel Whin until t the committee of -.jne to study th* questions Involved.
