Appreciation of Its dangers and a keen sense of tbo duty
which so great a people as ours owe not leas to Its

Will Our Natural Increase Render Im
migration Unnecessary ?
A few days ago In a carefully prepared and statis
tical editorial The Georgian undertook to point out some
of the dangers to be avoided In pressing the matter of
Immigration upon the people of these Southern and
Southwestern states.
Prom the figures and statistics of the department
at Washington we made It clear that there had been a
gre at change In the nature, origin and quality of the tin
migrants from the homogeneous and assimilable people
•lioroi. It was demonstrated that conditions had
changed materially within the past half-century, and
that whereas we were once accustomed to draw our Im-
mlg ants from the homogenous and assimilable people
of England, Scotland, Ireland, France and Germany, that
of Ihte years there has been a steady drift of Immigra
tion away from these countries and that our source of
supply has lately come almost exclusively from the coun-
tries of southern Europe, Austria, Hungary, Roumanla,
Poland and southern Russia.
. It was moreover made manifest from the census (bat
tin- -tatlstlcs of crime made by these Immigrants from
r- ithern Europe show an immense difference In favor of
the western Europeans, and that the criminal annals of
n <■ country were being enormously recruited by the Isms
iuhI revolutionary spirit of the southern European coun
tries. ' ,
In stating these things we frankly expressed our
eontdousness of the great necessity of this country for
immigrants to supply our depleted fields of labor and to
perform the ever-multiplying tasks of our advancing civ
ilization In which the scarcity of help waa becoming
more manifest and more and more menacing through
the constant Increase of unthrift and the unreliability of
the negro In bla exodus from the fields afid the farms to
the Idleness and crime of the cities.
We have been much Impressed and much gratified by
the cordial and Intelligent reception which thla edito
rial discussion baa received from the thoughtful and
interested people of the Bonth. We have messages and
telegrams of endorsement and congratulation, and earnest
requests that we thould continue to agitate this vast and
Altai question along these wholesotpe lines.
We publish today on this page, and It la the purpose
<V thla editorial to direct attention to It, a thoughtful and
> luuprehenslve article from Mr. Ilernard Suttler, of this
city, who has for many years given great thought and
much Intelligent investigation to the theme. While all
of Mr. Suttler's contributions are interesting In a high
<!i-uree, there la a special significance ln-thefigurei which
lie gives touching the material Increase in our own pop
ulatlon.
The argument of Mr. Suttler aeenla to center aronnd
the proposition, first: That we do not need Immigrants,
and
8eoond: That our own population Is growing so rap
Idly that in a abort time we will have all and more of
the numbers which we need to populate our Industrial
districts and to Inhabit the waiting acre* of thla land.
If Mr, Huttltr'a figures are correct, and we have every
confidence In hla accuracy and conscientious diligence
and ability, then they are profoundly worthy of the con
sideration of thoughtful men, and It becomes a serious
0 i,-atIon whether our necessities are great enough at
thla time to tempt ue to supply a present and not abso-
1 itely essential need by Importing Into our civilisation
the aliens who are not aaalmllablo and who can scarcely
be deemed dealrable and helpful to the civilisation of
tbo 8outh. *
Mr. Suttler's figures will richly repay the careful
reading of any thoughtful man, whether he be Interested
or not In the subject of Immigration, because they
b.dlcate that the steady and constant increase of
oar population la supplying all-the needs of this great
people, and with the numerical basis of Increase con-
► •.antly enlarging the multiplication of people within the
i.ext four decades will be limply enormous In numbers
nnd In scope.
Upon the statistics of Increase given by the census,
Georgia will have In 1950 five and one-ba!( milllooa of peo
ple; In 1970 nearly eight millions of poople and In 9000
nearly fourteen millions of people. These figures Indicate
how little room there will he left tor foreigners In this
gri-it country when we provide for the Increase of our
own domestic population during the coming century.
This la no light question which Mr. Suttler touches
here. It.Is deeper than even the probe which he pushes
into It We have the finest and purest population In the
world In these Southern states. If we are going to bring
any foreign people here to share It we should make It a
iu iroua prerequisite that they shall be of the beat and
).iattest class of foreigners that can he brought to our
American shores. U we can not get thla class ot peo
ple we can richly afford to do without any. We art
.getting rich fast enough and our fields and mines and
: ictorles are growing apace. Our growth la steady
'qoough to satisfy the most exacting avarice ot any rea
sonable imagination, and for our own part, looking Into
the future lu which our children are to live and flourish,
and to settle the problem of clvillxatlan which stretches
beyond these (resent days, we are seriously opposed
to any amalgamation ot these great Caucasian races In
i to South with any people who will bring with them the
Infernal Jargon of the foreign tongues which makes such
discord and disturbance in the cities of Chicago, New
York and other localities where these aliens of revolu
tionary and lawless spirit live.
We sincerely trust that no new-found seal on the
part of the land agents or the railroads which foster
Immigration and who have personal Interests at stake,
win blind either themselves or this pedple to the conslder-
atlon of thla great question of Immigration with anything
The Defeat of “Gas” Addlcks.
The election of Col. Henry A. Dupont at a senator
from Delaware end* the long-drawn contest with "Oaa 1
Addlcks which has been going on for more than eleven
years.
Never In the history of American politic*. perhaps,
has there been such a determined effort on the part
of any man to overrlda the wishes of his people and
thrust himself Into the upper house as the president of
the Bay State Gaa Company has made. Hla optimism
and perseverance alone command admiration In a char
acter In which there la practically nothing else to admire.
The chicanery practiced by Addlcka has made hla name
a by word, and yet he had set hla heart so strongly
on the aenatorahlp that nothing could cool hla ardor.
In May. 1895, the vote In the Delaware legislature
stood fifteen for Addlcka and fifteen for Dupont, but
among the number who voted for Addlcks waa a former
speaker of the house Who bad become governor of the
state. The right of the ex-epeaker to vote In the elec
tion waa contested. The committee reported against it,
and In favor of the election of Col. Dupont, who, without
the contested vote, would have a majority of one. By
a strict party majority of one, the senate refused to
seat him.
In the following year the Addlcka and Dupont fac
tions each sent a delegation to the national Republican
convention. The Dupont delegation waa seated and was
thenceforward known as the “regular" Republican party,
while the Addlcks faction took the name of the Union
Republican party.
In 1899, when a new senator waa to be chosen to
succeed Hon. George Gray, a deadlock ensued and the
aenatorahlp remained vacant
Again In 1900 each ot the two factions sent dele
gates to the national Republican convention, and this
time the Addlcks delegatea were seated, but thla stood
the gas man In little stead, for In the following year
he waa again defeated In hie ambition to represent hla
state In tho senate.' On this occasion there were two
senators to be chosen, so the adjournment of the legis
lature without making a choice left the state without
any representation whatever In the senate. Addlcka
made another unaucessful attempt to secure election in
1901.
Cot. Dupont, who haa finally been chosen, Is a man of
distinguished ancestry and of high military achieve
ments. He was graduated from West Point In the year
which saw tho beginning of the civil war. He was
twice brevetted for gallantry on the field and waa award
ed a medal of honor by congress. He resigned from the
army In 1874. and five years later became president ol
the Wilmington and Nortben railroad, a position which
he still holds.
It will be a general relief to the country that thla
long contest la over. Addlcks has made himself about
as unpopular aa possible, and baa Ipcldentally learned
that It sometimes requires something besides money to
get Into the United States senate. He may now be al
lowed to "sink to silence like a tavern brawl." and let
poor little Delaware have her Juat representation In the
senhte.
“The Jungle” for Our Readers.
The Georgian takes peculiar pleasure In announc
ing that arrangements have been made for the serial
publlcaUon In these column* of Upton Sinclair's epoch-
making novel, "The Jungle,” which waa primarily re
sponsible for the exposure of the packing house abuses
In Chicago.
Not within the past quarter of a century has there
been auch deep and widespread Indignation on the part
of the American people as ha* been arouaed over the
revelaUons made by this great and vigorous novel, sub
sequently confirmed by the InveeUgatlona of Presi
dent Roosevelt's epeclal commissioners. It has stirred
the civilised world and promises to be the direct means
of bringing about one of the most Important reform* this
country has ever known.
In a Vague sort of way It was known all along that
the methods of the beef barons were not aa clean and
wholcaomo aa they should have been, but when they
were-revealed In ell their appalling minuteness by Mr.
Sinclair, who has devoted years to the study of the sub
ject, the public was stunned and startled.
The facts on which hla novel waa based have been
given to the public in official form, and now there fa
a general and Insistent demand for the book Itself.
Arrangements have been perfected for giving this
novel In sorlal form to our readore, and the publication
of It will begin at once. The Installments will run dally
until the publication la completed.
Never In tha history of the country haa the book of
the hour, a copyrighted novel designed for sale only In
book form And not far syndicate publication, been given
through a newspaper In serial form at the very
height of Its popularity, but this The Georgian has been
able to arrange for and we feel confident that our read
ers will be gratified to find themselves the beneficiaries
of this enterprise.
"The Jungle” Is not merely a problem novel, how
ever. While It exposes the corruption ot the beef trust
methods and the disregard for human life entailed by this
system, a charming love story runs through It and makes
It one ot the most readable novels of the season outside
of Its value aa an exposure of the Packlngtown horrors.
The presses are running night and day to supply the
demand for the work In book form, but In the meantime
the readers of The Georgian will not have to wait. It will
be brought to their doora In dally Installments, beginning
Immediately.
The Bookish Thcoric.
We are told that, reading maketh a full mao, so let’s all
read;
Years ago dear old Tommy Moore, we believe It was,
Insisted that.
"My only bonks, were woman's looks, *
And folly'* all they taught me;”
Emily Dickinson, dear, dead recluse, declares,
"There la no frigate like a book.
To bear us league* away.
Nor any courser like a pan
Of prancing poetry;"
Well there are poet*,' and there Is poetry. Some we
bear, some bore us, and some lay bare greet truths;
A book should be a friend, a counsellor, a companion;
A good book le the beat of the man who wrote It;
Hla thought and soul held In fond vellum, and we may
turn the page and see.
We love a beauteous noble book, and hold him In our
heart;
The Bible Is the best of books;
Shakespeare one of the greatest books;
Tennyaon one of the sweetest hooka;
With these three a fellow can get along fairly well;
Go get thee to a bookery.

city of this commonwealth. It has been for more than a
Heard on the Comer
hundred years the type of refinement, of culture, of dig
nlty, and of social and commercial honor In the South.
And yet, upon the sheer drift of factional politics, It
has fallen Into methods which are not only disgraceful,
but are criminal in their violation both of law and of mor
als In the state. *
Such an election aa that ot yesterday. In which money
wna used not only freely but with the brazen Impudence
of the streets, parading Its political bribe* nnder the very
nose of the Insulted law, buying and selling aacred bal
lots In the open mart as If they were bananas or red her-
rings. Is enough to make the cheek of every Georgian
mantle with the shame of the spectacle.
One who stood upon the streets of Savannah during
the scenes described In the dispatches of the daily papers,
would have found no point of difference between the po
litical orgies of this beautiful metropolis of the seaboard
and the worst political picture made by any gang of ward
heelers In the purlieus and precincts of New York or Chi-
CfigO,
No matter how high the spirit ot faction may have
run In the elty of Savannah, no matter how keen the
ambitions of candidates and their friends—even if the la-
aues bad been absolutely vital and not' merely personal
and factional, there could be no possible excuse for the
shameful and disgraceful prostitution of the ballot In the
hands of the voters of the city. There Is no combination
of circumstances that could ever Justify such violation
of the law and such prostitution of the suffrages which
bare no doubt that these men would scorn to do In bust
ness or In social life anything that waa beneath the high
plane of the gentleman and the law-abiding citizen.
And yet, they have drifted easily and naturally, un
der a strange and perverted view of political exigencies
and political necessities. Into a series of crimes against
both the ballot and the law, which are calculated to un
dermine every principle of morality, and Justice, and po
litical honor, and ultimately the foundations of the state
and of the republic.
We do not hesitate to say that If Savannah does not
Itaelf promptly react In protest and lu reform against the
scenes of yesterday, then the state of Georgia, through
Its Judicial oOcera, should take auch cognizance as may
be necessary, and such methods aa may be possible to
prevent a recurrence of these shameful demoralizations.
When a beautiful, cultured city flings into the very
teeth of a lofty and honorable civilization a ballot box
drama that shocks and degrades the political morals of
the state, It la high time that somebody on the outside
should grasp the Iniquity by the throat,' if the true and
the good men within 4ts walls are paralyzed by tear or be
smirched by apathy and indifference.
It 1* surely a timely and, a necessary appeal to the
nezt legislature to pass with heartiness and enthusiasm
the bill of the Hon. Boykin Wright, of Richmond, or some
measure akin to it, that will stamp the condemnation of
Georgia's representative assembly upon methods and
practices that are growing to be more and more a stench
In the nostrils ot decency and the state.
(By a Non-Combatant.)
Said Clark unto Hoke,
‘‘You’re a fake and a Joke,
I know what you are.
With your charity Bar,
You're a aneak and a frog.
And a base demagogue.
It's a Populist trick,
And yon need a swift kick.”
Said Hoke unto Clark,
‘‘Your friend Hnmp la a lark.
You’re a railroad gossoon,
And you cling to the coon.
You’re a swine in disguise,
And I’ll black both your eyes.
Just step out In the park,”
Said Hoke unto Clark.
Said both unto each,
“You're a bird and a peach,
A liar, a thief.
And a cannibal chief,”
And the pnbllc stands by,
With a wink o' the eye,
And wonders forsooth
If they both tell the truth.

110 yea re, or three generations! Let ns

CHRIST AND HELL.
Editor of The Georgian:
Much discussion has been provoked
by the recent preaching of Evangelist
Torrey In your midst on the subject of
hell. The Unlvereallst, the Unitarian
and the general coterie of doubters of
God’s word havs been aroused and
much mire and dirt have been stirred
up In the gospel pond In Georgia. Well,
the preaching of the truth will stir peo
ple and the devil, too, and but little
harm will accrue to the gospel cause
where the truth Is boldly set forth.
This whole doctrine of hell revolves
upon the axle of faith In the words of
the Son of God. Do tbs people believe
what Jesus said? He had much to aay
on this subject and Hla plain words
are unmistakable. Here are some of
Hla sayings:
"If thy hand offend thee, cut It off:
It Is better for thee to enter Into life
maimed, than having two hands to go
Into hell, Into the fire that never shall
be quenched. If thy foot offend thee,
cut It off; It la better for thee to enter
Into life halt, than having two feet to
be cast Into hell. Into the fire that never
shall be quenched. If thine eye offend
thee, pluck It out: It Is better for thee
to enter Into the kingdom of God with
one eye, than having two eyes to be
cast In hell fire. (Mark lx:4S. 45. 47.)
The Bon of Man shall send forth Hls
angels, and they shall gather out of Hls
kingdom all things that offend and
them which do Iniquity: and shall cast
them Into a furnace of fire: there shall
be walling and gnashing of teeth.
(Matthew xtll: 41, 41.) Te serpents,
ye generation of vipers, how can ve
escape the damnation of hell? (Mat.
xxlll:SI.) These shall go away Into
exeriastlng punishment, but the right
eous Into life eternal. (Mat. xxv:46.)
In hell he lifted up hla eyes, being In
torments, and said. Father Abraham,
send Laxarus that he may dip the Up
of hls finger In water and cool my
tongue, for I am tormented In this
flame. (Luke xvl:23, 24.)"
The guns of the antis In this battle
have been turned on Dr. Torrey. Why,
the doctor la aa Innocent as a babe.
Back or the evangelist Is Jesus Christ
and the Bible, and he has said nothing
that should have drawn the Are of the
unbelievers to himself. Dr. Torrey haa
been a plain teacher of the words of
Jesus It Is not what the earnest
preacher has said, but it in what Jesus
has said, for the preacher has simply
reiterated the words of the Son of
God. Let the whole coterie of unbe
lievers take their eyes off of Dr. Tor-
ray and focus them upon Christ. Let
the mighty (?) guns they are shooting
he turned upon the Son of Ood. He Is
the one who said It. These unbelievers
In their rage are tearing down the
word of God; they are digging out the
foundations of the Scriptures. Jesus
Christ and the Bible are responsible
for the doctrine of hell and not Dr.
Torrey. Those who light should not be
as one who beats the air.
It Is a question of belief or disbelief
of the Bible. The Book says there Is a
heaven. Everybody believes there Is
except the blind Atheist. The Book
says thsre Is a hell. Jesus Christ
says there Is. Thousands say they do
not believe there Is a hell. Thousands
havs written volumes against the doc
trine, but thsre It stands Imbedded In
the very organic structure of Chris
tianity. Men may say there la no hell
of torment, but the assertion does not
affect the fact. If there Is any fact In
the Word of God hell Is one of them.
It Is not a pleasant fact, but It Is a
Now. Mr. Editor, If there Is no hell,
there is.no haaven. You cannot blot
out one without with tbo same fall
swoop blot out the other. A man who
does not believe there Is a hell does
not believe the Word of God. The
destruction of th* doctrine of bell de
stroys heaven, destroys the Bible, doss
away with God and lands us In utter
anarchistic Atheism.
