Monday, with all the pomp and glory appertaining to the moat Im pressive naval event of recent years, the splendid Atlantic fleet, bound for the Pacific, steamed out of Hampton Roads on Its long and signifi cant Journey. President Roosevelt, surrounded by a brilliant p'arty, from the deck of the Mayflower, gave the word of command, which sent the sixteen greet battleships on their southward crolxo and then led tho epleudld war vestels through the Virginia Capes, later giving place to the flagship Connecticut. The world has rarely, If ever, witnessed such a striking and beautiful naval pageant as was presented In Virginia waters on Sunday when sixteen of the most formidable cruisers and bat tleships of the nation quietly awaited orders to proceed to fbe Pacific ocean on Its’much-dlscusaed qiisslon. The fleot was drawn up In two great parallel lines. Sunday night aa the threatening clouds disappeared and a clearing wind blew fiercely from the northwest, a southern moon bathed In silvery beauty the vast array of fighting vessels, leaving with officers and men a tender and exquisite memory of the lai* night be fore the beginning of tlielr hazardous and uncertain Journey. Searchlights and fiery signals were flashed throughout the night from ship to ship and sleep was almost an unknown quantity In that vast aggregation of naval fighters. The wives, mother* and sweethearts of the men on board the war ships as well as national and state officials crowded the piers on Mon day morning to wave good-bye to tbe officer# and men who have start ed on their voyage through the Straits of Magellan. What the president believes to be tbs supreme test of the American navy has begun and every olvlllxed nation Is discussing the significance and Import of this wonderful event. . The American press Is divided In Its opinion as to the ultimate ob ject to be accomplished. Foreign Journals are at a loss In explaining President Roosevelt's policy In sending so formidable a fleet upon so long and Indsflnlte a Journey. Conjecture* and discussions are rife throughout the clvlllxed world today regarding this wondorfut demonstration of naval power on the part of the United States without any authoritative explanation having yot been made of President Roosevelt's object In sending the American fleet to tho Pacific. But whatever the object or Import of this magnifi cent manifestation of nntlonal strength snd power, one fact remain* un challenged; namely, that but one other nation In all the world could send out such a glorious fleet on an Indefinite cruise and yet leave for home protection another squadron as powerful and as Invincible aa the one now safely sailing southward toward the Pacific. With all of Prealdent Roosevelt'* practical and common-sense views regarding national affairs, be has a sentimental and artistic side of hi* remarkable personality which brings him very close to the heart* of the people. The picturesqueness of the naval episode at Hampton Roads has attracted tho attention and observation of tho nations of tho world. For the present the political significance of this wonderful naval pageant Is subordinated to tbo picturesque and brilliant side of this hitherto unequalled display of national glory and national supremacy. IP YOU HAD A MILLION. if you had a million dollars! How many times you have dreamed about It! Ho*- many air castlos you have built with unearned, untolled for, un deserved millions that os yot you have never received. How many things you have thought you would do If you only had a million! ‘ , What hospitals you would build, what churches you would erect! What splendid business establishments you would control! How kind you would bo to your employees! What sanitary accommodations you would erect Tn tho establishment that you would create If you had a mil lion of dollars! - What trips you would take*! How you would enjoy the majestic splendors of Niagara, the magnificent wonders of tho Yellowstone! How you would delight In tho Yosemlte!' You would stand on El Capltan and watch the triple Yosemlte Falls flashing like diamonds In a tiara as they leaped from their summit home Into tho abyss of tho Morcod below. You would stand on the summit of Popocatepetl! You would build an airship and fly to tho North Pole/ You would traverse tho Andes and the mines of anolent Golconda would spread tbelr wealth before you. You would go to Klmborloy and by the personality of your character uplift and redeem thoso who toll In tho diamond mines. You would “cross the ocean and tho distant land explore;" while remembering the heathen at homo you would not forget the heathen abroad. My, m,v, my, what would you not do If you bad a million? Sorioitsly, what would you do If you had a million? Suppose by some gift of the god of fortune tonight there should be placed In your lap one million dollars. What would you do with It? Have you ever for a moment considered the new responsibilities that would be placed upon your shou^lers If there were given to you one mil lion dollars? Have you ever thought of tho mental’training and discipline It takes to properly care fur and protect a million dollara? Hare you ever thought of tho begging letters you would receive, the penny-ln-ths-slot offers you would receive to double your fortune? Have you ever thought of the numberless hangers-on that thert would b*. all de. alrous of being the recipient! of your bounty? Rest aisured, It requires a peculiar kind of a manhood and training to bnndle wisely, systematically and well a million of dollars! Would you know how to handle II, administer It and distribute it so that your nama would be synonymous with blessing and not stand before your age as that of a colossal fool? To what base uses have men descended who did not know how to handlo a million! Rest assured that chasing chorus girls, drinking cham pagne from goldon cups, rushing express trains across the country at breakneck speed, driving automobiles at the rate of forty, fifty, sixty miles an hour, If not the best expression of the use (o which one million dol lars can be put. \ . While you ere wishing for a million ask yourself tht question: "Am I capable of handling a million?" While you are wishing for a million, ask yourtelf tbe question: "Would life be any sweeter, wonld my wife love me more, would my children be dearer?" A million Is a large sum of money. More than most of us will ever possess, and yet there are some things that evsn a million can not buy, that wo without tho million can possess. The million never bought happiness. The million never bought the prattle of a child and the pheislng of the chubby hand around the ncek and the sweet voice cooing, "I love you, paps; I love you." The million never bought health. It may give privilege of Saratoga, Hot 8pringa, Carlsbad and a hundred snd one other places, but it Dover buys a perfect digestion and a hearty appetite and an ability to eat earned beef and cabbage or pork and beans with Impunity. The million never bought character, It never did. It never will. Yet character beyond reproach Is within the reach of all. If you had a mil lion would you. after all, be better, happier, richer In the things of honor than you are now? Would you? FRENCHMEN TO TRY FOR SOUTH POLE.

The deflnlt, quietus which the prealdent haa put upon his own candidacy leaves three open aspirants for tho presidential nomination. Secretary Taft la an avowed candidate, bearing hi* campaign with a gay abandon which suggests a real Indifference. Eoraker has flung a fierce gauntlet Into the arena and announces himself ready to meet all comers. Philander Knox has held In his pocket the presidential vote of Pennsylva nia with a tenacity which hae the stamp of earnestness and purpose. - But the Republican dark horses are indefinite. Fairbanks would like to, but Is coy. Governor Hughes Is saying nothing, nor Is he perspiring over- freely from the sawing of wood. Cortelyou has been a silent candidate, even if a swift ons, and no word of his has been equal to confession. Can non has smiled Inscrutable and canny, and LaFollette champs Iris bit In tho tall timber, bulls not listed In the betting. The Republican field Is full and tho forest is alive with blanketed nage, willing but unannounced. How different the race course of tho Democracy! A solitary horseman bestrides a solitary steed. A solitary horn sounds a solitary not* to warn the grandstand and the entries to be getting ready. Good horseman, good horse, good horn—good and experienced all. . Hut, oh, so lonesome, and so predestined Is the race! The prestige of tho rider or the apathy of the horsemen or the decay of the Democratic racing spirit has shut out all competition, and from every present Indica tion the solitary horseman at the tap of his assembly bell will lope tran quilly down the stretches of the track, which Is only the preliminary for the swifter and sterner course that follows for the real and shining goal. Whatever the developments of the winter, It Is written now that the Republican convention will bristle with candidates, with interest and with enthusiasm, and will furnish a strong-limbed and lusty runner for the pres idential race. Let us consider In a purely speculative mood what would come to pass If our Single Horseman should follow the announcement Just let loose from Washington and leave the course positively open to those who are able to. run In the Democratic rank. If tho shadow of a name too great for competition, a prestige too largo for rivalry and a start too far advanced for overcoming could all be pos itively lifted and an open field left for a fair and even entry—If this not Impossible but altogether Improbable thing could really happen—there Is no harm at least In Innocent speculation as to the .actual results In the camps where Democracy Is at present calm If not serene, and quietly ac quiescent If riot resonant with Indorsement. We may suppose that Delaware and the militant East might enter George Gray for a winner In this free-for-all race. With Gorman gone, Isl- dbr Raynbr might give at least a preliminary canter around the course for Maryland. Tom Johnson, the warhorse of the Cleveland trolleys and a Democratic nag with both speed and bottom, might champ his bit against 'the eager bell. Folk, of Missouri, and Champ Clark and DeArmond might make a venture In an open Held. And that great section stretching from Texas to the District and the capitol would pluck up new courage snd make a score of fresh and vigorous entries In this race unhandlcappod and free. The Houston Post w-ould dust anew Its discarded advocacy and give Charles Culberson anothor hurrah re-entrance onto the political track. Mississippi might mnke her Leroy Percy n Jfarry Percy of tilts free democracy. Alabama, never backward where the field Is fair, would call the names of Comer and of Joe John son to answer the roll. Two of the Atlanta papera. The Georgian and The Journal, would tighten the ample girth of Hoke Smith for the going, while. The Constitution and ths ether dallies would surely find another Georgia man. Tennessee would send Ed Carmack In a gallop to the gates. South Carolina would put her fallh In the tough-fibred and unbeaten Tillman. North Carolina would call for Charles B. Aycock or Governor Glenn, while Virginia would doubtless find it Impossible to do better than to pin her colors to Caperton Braxton, the Ideal president of her last constitutional convention nnd the most perfect representative In the Old Dominion of the Virginian of yesterday and today. . But, at all events, the fltld would be full—a dashing, slashing field—and a wildly cheering grandstand, with the colors of the stntes flaunting bravely In such enthusiasm as the old party has not known In years, and a spirit and seat that would cheer the horsemen to their best endeavors and the win ner surely and loyally on to victory. It would be a renaissance of th; old races, a revival of the old enthu siasm, a freshening of the old Democracy—a new deal—an open field—a fair light—and the best man tho winner. But. mark you, this Is merely speculation—speculation born of the president’s twelve-hour sensation—Innocont nnd perhaps Idle speculation— to white away these sober times of strange finance. We have not hinted that there was the remotest probability of such a condition coming true. Nor hnve we said once—search us to see—that we were treasonable enough to desire that such a great thing might come to pass.

DONATIONS FOR THE SILVER SERVICE FOR THE BATTLESHIP GEORGIA SHOULD BE PAID WITHOUT MORE DELAY THE NEAL DOW OF GEORGIA.

I’scful ns It Is. I think In ten years It will be lining Just twice as much for the people. Tor example, the pos ts' department could have been used, and can ho used, to res loro conffdence nnd put In rtrculstlon Idle monoy more ouiokly and equitably than by nny other means. I Judge-from the press dispatches that eome of the hanks wished some assurance from Sir. I'nrtflyou. and that If the* subscribed! and ''ought souls of the new Interest-hear ing certificates, he would re-deposit the money In the hanks tbnt bought thent, or rather never take It at all. This Is equal to the old woman who would unt lend her uiuney without security, and when aha got the security Insisted ou keeping tbe money, too. She was called a very rontlsh old wom an. hut, of course, everyone will say. "Those are very wise banks.'' The greet mistake that our government makes la that when It wants to lucrease the circulating medium or relieve a panic, It al ways puts its money In the hands of those who lend money rather than those who spead money. It Is llha flllliig a barrel with the funnel upside down. On .October IS the postmaster general stated In hie Boston speech mad every pa- periuthe country should print that speech >HL".‘bat the currency of this country was <3,!23.U6fi.g;3.

In other da. tho people hare (400,000.000, more than the government snd bonks put to gether. - Mr. Unrtelyou wants to liny some of this money from the people nnd put It to work, or rather, put It In the banks for their ■■ (From The Athena Banner.) On the battle ship Georgia there Is a sliver service presented by the people of this state which was made possible by the Indefatigable work of Miss Louise DuBose, of this city. For months thla young lady wrote letters and or ganised a campaign of education along (he lines of patriotism on the part of our people to donate a sum sufficient for the purchase of a silver service which would be In keeping with the occasion and at the same time a credit to the state for which the battle ship waa named. The afflount, <10.000, was subscribed and the service purchased: the service was presented on Georgia Day at tjie Jamestown exposition In the presence of thousands ot Georgians and citizens from all sections of the world. President Roosevlt waa present and participated In the exercises; army and navy officers, representing all The foreign countries, were present; the gift of the service from the people of Geor gia waa heralded from one section of the country to the other by associated new* services; and the many towns and cities which have their names engraved on the service are today receiving the honor and attention of the people of thla country, and of every country where this ship anchors, for their lib erality In donating the amount suffi cient for It* purchase. After nil the honor, after all the patriotism shown by our citizens, there are quite a num ber of town* nnd cities which are en joying the distinction of having their names appear on the service and not one cent of their subscriptions have been paid. Is It right for these places to receive the benefits without paying their part? We think not; and feel that when the matter Is brought to their attention through the press of the state, each town and city which haa Subscribed will cheerfully make up the amount which ho* been credited to It and forward a remittance to Miss Du Bose, nt Athens. 8urely Miss DuBose will not be expected to pay the balance which Is due the Jeweler. <906.23, while the various places which are due the amounts sufficient to pay In full the Jeweler's bill sit Idly by and do not make an effort to raise the amount of the obligations.made by their citizens The promise to pay notes have been made: will the people ot these towns repudiate them? n " The Atlanta Constitution, comment ing editorially on the subject, has ths following to say: "A balance of <906.25 Is still d ue on the “Silver service presented tv the people of thl* state to the battle shin Georgia. The deficiency Is divided among several town* and cities which guaranteed Miss Louies DuBose of Athens, the sponsor for the movement specified contributions toward the to’ tal. The names of these towns and cities are already engraved on the service, so that wherever the bottle ahlp goes they nre receiving credit In common with the >vomtnun!tles which have fully dlschargedt heir obligations. “This Is net fair to The prompter towns and cities, to Mies DuBore or to the firm that supplied the service "It ts the routine practice In clubs and other co-operative organizations tn 'post* In a conspicuous place the names of delinquent members, side by aide with the amount Involved. The method generally brlngB results, since few men desire that their friends or the public should know that they have not met obligations to which they voluntarily bound themselves. "The Constltutlbn'mcntions no names and It Is not the desire of tha sponsor for the Georgia fund to have recourse to the plan of making public the names of the delinquent towns and ths amounts unsettled. "If, however, litigation for the unpaid balance or other developments should be the means of such exposure, we are quite sure that none of these progress- ive, well-to-do towns or cities would relish thla form of advertising. "They nre amply able, by approprle- tion or public subscription, to make uc the amount to which they pledged themselves. TVs are convinced that the towns and cities which shall bo nameless far the present are too commendably proud of their financial and civic standing to accept credit before the world for a patriotic distinction to which they are not yet entitled."
