THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE God's goodness hath bean great to thee; Let never day nor night unhallowed pass. But etlll remember what the Lord hath done. —Shakespeare. Kentucky and Other State Pride. Our neighbor, The Constitution, la pleased to Intimate that there la a charm attaching to the name and trad! ii'ma of Kentucky which scarcely belongs to any other ruin, and that no people cling aa fondly and durably aa Kentuckians to the auggeatlona and memorlea of their na live commonwealth. : Stripped of the comparison this Is a Just and merited tiiiiute to the Blue Graaa State and to Its loyal people, it Is a great state and a great people, rich In heroic tin morles and rich in loyal sons and lovely daughters. lint there are other states, with traditions as thrilling, with people as loving and with history as eventful and mmpelllng. We shall halt here to Bring the question home to Georgia, which has held and holds yet the dominant plat" among Southern commonwealths and has won the title of the Empire State ot the South. There does ttni-iivo on the globe a people who respond more tender it and proudly in every land to the name and the claim of Georgia. And there is South Carolina, the Harry Percy of the Union, gallant, warm and chivalrous, pulsing a deathless pride and devotion to the Palmetto Btate and Its splendid lino of statesmen and Its majestic sweep of traditions. Tho esprit du corps of the South Carollnan was never Mir poised by Kentucky. And Virginia—the Old Dominion, Mother of Presi dents, and mother of Kentucky. The state pride of Vir ginians has passed Into a byword all over the world, and no history Is more glorious and Inspiring than her aplen- did annals. It you want to see the warmth and the glory of Ken tucky't Home Coming week aurpaaied, just wait until "Ole Vlrglnny” summons her children to a great reunion week around the Immortal memorlea of Jamestown and Hampton Roads. Then you will see the trooping of a mighty multitude with their hearts In their throats paying tribute to the nltl mother with a fervor and devotion which neither k > ntucky, nor France, nor England, nor even Japan can iiutmeaaure. The fact la the love of home la universal, patriotism la local aa well as national. Every human bosom within which beats the right sort of a human heart, Is thrilling " Ith loyalty and love, spoken or unspoken, to the spot or tho country that gave him birth. The peculiar products of Kentucky have made It fg nous and the breed of Its enjoyments bring It mors fro- •iitcntly to the lips of men. But In the heart of Its people tlnre Is no more ot love, of pride, of loyalty to the ab- a trnct state than that which pulses froely and Dnely In tin’ bosoms of Georgians, and Carotlnans, and Vlrgtntana, it ml all the elder states. It Is not so much what our states havo done, or dared or suffered, but It Is In the fact that they gave ua birth ami growth, and stirred our hopes and fears and atrug- plan and ambitions that we are always and everywhere ready, like brave men and patriots, In peace or war, to i Inigo them our lives, our futures and our sacred honor. The question of the hour for the president Is whether Cot . resaman Wadsworth keepe a acrap book or not Atlanta’s Crying Need. Interest In the suggestion that Atlanta should pur chase a number of sites for small parka In tha congested Me, (tons of the city and place them under the control of a permanent park commission, chartered by the legislature, is growing every day, and It la evident that the people will not be satisfied until something la done along this line. The plan, flrat suggested by Mr. J. G. Rossman, has 1- tn discussed very generally abd thoroughly during the past few weeks and so far as we have been Informed It lms literally met with no opposition. Our park system la excellent aa far aa It goes, but * hat we need la a supplementary system of small breath lug spaces In the heart of the busier and more congested Ilona of the city. Here public conveniences, the lack of which entails no amatl amount of suffering, particularly to vUitora, could be Installed and we would add another feature to the city as a hospitable and Inviting place for tho excursionists. It Is not only Important that steps should be taken for establishing these parks, but It should be done at once. The price of real estate la advancing every day. Property which could have been purchased for park pup i» aes a few yearn ago la now held at almost prohibitive prlees or else has already been occupied with permanent buildings. It Is no argument to say that the required property would come high, for It la an all-sufficient an- *» or to say that It will be considerably higher In a tew >« ara more, and the time to act Is now, before all these po talble breathing spaces have been occupied or else ad vance to such a figure that the dly cannot afford to buy them. The Idea of creating • permanent park commission, chartered by the leglslatnre. Is an excellent one. It would encouraafe the donation of land and the endowment of parks by philanthropic dtlaens for them to feel that this land could never be alienated by the city, but on the other band would be held In perpetuity by the commission for tha use of the people, as Is the case with Boeton's celebrated play ground, the Common. This good work should receive the ectlve end hearty cooperation of nil good citizens. The generations that are to come after us. enjoying tha provisions we have made lor these lungs of a dty, at the same time that we ere building our aky-ecrepera, will rise up and call us blasted, and the time to begin to earn that benediction Is the liv ing present The lock type of canal will salt ns as weU as any siher. to long aa the United States keeps the key. An Historical Nicety. In another column this afternon we publish a com munlcatlon from Mr. A. A. Allen, publisher of The Fulton Enterprise, at East Point, Ga.. In which ho good-natur edly undertakes to correct what he regards as a historical Inaccuracy In our editorial of yesterday on the -Repub lican party's birthday. In the course of this editorial we stated that while tho first Republican convention was held In Philadelphia on June 17, 1856, **a state organization embodying Its principles and first assuming its name was perfected In the state of Michigan." Our correspondent asserts that "the state organiza tion in question waa formed at Rlpon, WIs., In the year we mentioned, and not In Michigan. We beg to take Issue with our correspondent on thla nicety of political history. Tho fact ts that aa early as February 28,1854, a mass meeting of Whlgi, Democrat and Free Boilers did as semble In Rlpon, WIs., and resolved that If the Kanaaa- Nebraska bill should paaa, they would “throw old party organizations to the wind* and organize a new party on the sole Issue of the non-ex tension of slavery." Three weeks Ia^cr. local organization was effected and the name “Republican" waa suggested as the one which the party should, and probably would, adopt. It Is to be borne In mind, however, that this was bnt a local organization and an expression of what would be done in the event of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. It was not a state organisation, and we cite aa an authority Mr. George Henry Haynes, the distinguished educator, publicist and author of the article oil “The Re publican Party," In the New International Encyclopedia, for the statement that “It waa In Michigan, however, that the fusion of the opponents of the extenlion of slavery flrat completed a atato organization and formally adopted the name, July-6, 1854, Our correspondent will see that we are entirely cor rect In our contention that “a state organization was first perfected In Michigan.” In a certain sense, the maaa meeting at Rlpon, WIs., waa the first Important Impetus given to the organization, and as stated before, local or ganization was perfected, but the finality and cohesion ot a state organization was not attained until It waa perfect ed by the state of Michigan. Incidentally It may be said that on the day after the passage of the Kankas-Nebraska bill, thirty member* of congress held a meeting. In which they decided upon an organized opposition to the extension ot slavery, and chose the word "Republican" for the name of the pro posed party. We are glad to hear from our correspondent on this Interesting question, however, as we are always open to fair criticism and discussion. The man who kidnaped the little Muth boy should be searched further. Perhaps he also ran away with Harry Lehr.' . « Death of Governor Pattison. The death of Governor John M. Pattison, of the state of Ohio, occasions sincere regret throughout the country and In hla untimely passing away the Democratic party loses one ot Ita staunchest friends and supporters. Hla selection to the office of chief executive of the Buekeye Btate waa a tremendous testimony to hla person al popularity, aa he waa the first Democrat to the elect ed governor of that state since 1890. He had but re cently reaehed hla fifty-ninth birthday, and hla llfa bad- been a particularly useful and active one. He entered the Union army while yet a mere boy. After graduating from Wealeyan university he waa ad mitted to the bar In 1873, and tho following year was elected to the state legislature. He waa chosen for seat In the state senate In 1890—the same year which ■aw the Democratic candidate, James E. Campbell, elected governor—and was then elected to a seat In the fifty-second congress. Ho waa a man of Irreproachable character and was warmly esteemed by all who knew him. Lieutenant Govomor Andrew. Llntner Harris will fill the term of ofllco exqjrlng two years bonce.

Editor of The Georgian: What Is "denatured alcohol" and when will the law making It tax free go Into effect? Yours truly T. r. B. The name “alcohol" la composed ot two Arabic words, "al kohl" meaning “tha devil," which goes to ■how that the Arabs knew a thing or two. "Denatured alcohol," aa the further name somewhat vaguely Indicate#, means alcohol which has been put through a process by which It Is rendered poisonous, and hence unfit for use aa a bails for Intoxicant* or tor use tn patent medicines. The removal of the Internal tax on th* making of It reduces the price of such denatured alcohol from 83.60 to 38 cents a gallon, and Is done In the Interest of the art* and sciences, particularly with a view to furnishing cheaper light, fuel and transportation. The advocate* ot the measure have predicted many marvelous things for the future under the new regime. It Is contended that Us use as a substitute for gasoline will reduce the coat of running automobiles to a very large extent; that It will supplant kerosene for lighting pur- ; that it will be used for heating our house*; that It will revolutionize the making of smokeless powder, etc. This Is but a casual list of the many things which It expected will be accomplished by the general use of denatured alcohol. A redaction from 83.80 to 36 cents gallon Is quit* a slump and It Is easy to be seen that It will readily come Into very general uze for the purposes to which it Is adapted. The new law goea Into effect with the beginning of the new year. A grey wolf has been spreading consternation In the neighborhood of Wellesley college, Maas.* Perhaps he waa trying to make hla way to the state capitol. The output of the beef trust la advancing In price, but down In thla neck of the gastric vineyard w# survey the abundant supply of blackberries and rest In peace. It would be a good Idea for somebody to go over and win a baseball pennant from England before she gets any more familiar with the game. Big Trusts and Little Ones. In another column wo publish today comments from The Charleston Post and The Nashville American on tho subject of the recent Indictment by the federal govern ment of an alleged Illegal combination of fertilizer facto ries du the state of Tennessee. We have no deBlre to anticipate the verdict of the conrt, nor any Inclination to defend the companies If they are Indeed operating under a combination In restraint of trade. • But It strikes ns that the government la out gunning for jack rabbits when It would do well to concentrate all Ita energies and resources on Hons and tigers of the un holy menagerie. When the government succeeds In convicting some of the beef barons and sending them to the penitentiary; when It has brought Standard Oil and the rebating rail roads to their knees; when, in short, it has made a whole some example of aotno of the real trusts which are noto riously and flagrantly guilty. It will be time enough to start out after the little fellows, If Indeed they are to be classed as trusts at oil. The fertilizer people strenuously deny that they are In any conspiracy In restraint of trade, and certainly It Is true that they ere confining their business operations to the territory right here tn our midst. There should be no wearying !□ well doing, but we would like to tee some material and substantial results from the larger crusades before the government starts out after the little fellowa who are hardly known to be In existence. A part of the population Insist! upon suspecting Senator Dupont of a gun-powder plot to blow up our house of parliament. THE G. O. P. BIRTHDAY. To the Editor of The Georgian: In your very Interesting and Instruc tive editorial of yesterday, entitled •The Republican Party's Birthday," you are guilty of an historical error, which I beg leave to correct You say, "the tact Is that two years before the convention of 1858, a state organisa tion embodying its principles and first assuming Its name was perfected In the state of Michigan.” The atate organi sation In question waa formed at Rlpon. WIs., In the year you mention, and while on a visit to that city a few years ago, the house In which this histori cal event took place was pointed out to me. This same house waa after ward occupied by George W. Peck, who In the later 60'a conducted a Republican paper at Rlpon. The young editor, who afterward became the great humorist and governor of Wisconsin, was shown the error of his way, and changed his politics, becoming a staunch Democrat, which he has aver since remained. George W. Peck afterward removed to LaCrosse, WIs., where hs conduct ed what he himself has charactsrixed as a “vary weekly (taper." In the city made famous by Brick Pomeroy, Peck did not flourish financially, though hs was honored with the appointment of chief of the fire department. Leaving I-SCroase, he went to Milwaukee, where he "struck hla gait,” and became fa mous aa the editor of Peck’s Sun. But did not start out to tell you about George W. Peck. I only wanted to tell you that the Republican party was born In Wisconsin, not In the state of Michigan. A. A. ALLEN, Publisher Fulton Enterprise. East Point, Ga.

THE FERTILIZER BU8INESS. We publish this morning an editorial from The Evening Poet of Charleston, 8. C., on the fertiliser situation, which makes a clear presentation ot the con ditions which Influced the administra tion to attempt to make an example of a handful of Southern fertiliser man ufacturers. There le not a millionaire In th* list of those manufacturers. There has never been any complaint anywhere throughout the South that we have ever heard of, or that we hove ever seen mention made of It, that the price of fertiliser was not a fair and reasonable one. ' When It Is borne In mind, too, that tha bustnopa In which the men are engaged ha* only a brief life, comparatively speaking, possibly not as much as twenty-five years, It Is well understood why the sympathy of the whole Southern country, apparently, has gone out to them since the admin istration has begun Ita prosecution of them on the technical ground of having formed a trust. The opinion of eminent lawyers Is that the Indictment will amount to nothing, but with this, of course, we are not concerned, as It Is a matter for tha courts to decide. The political >hase of th* matter, however, we are ntereated In, and cannot help but ex press the opinion that It la, so far aa w* can see, not only a gross Injustice, this taking up an Industry which Is comparatively weak, holding up as n horrible example to the country a few Southern Democrats whose product Is used almost entirely In the South, and concerning th* price of which there ha* never been complaint, but has the appearanre also of a last effort to save the fall of the administration In Its fu tile efforts to Interfere with or convict the big trusts which everybody believes exist—Nashville Banner. Trust Hunting In the South. Having made a Platonic demonstra tion In tho rase of th* Northern Se curities Company, and given an Im munity bath In advance of prosecution tn the beef packers, ths Roosevelt ad ministration Is looking for new truets to conquer. Carefully threading Iti way through th* thickset of oppres sive combinations In front of Its doors, It seeks to the open field of th* South and atalka th* fertiliser Industry In thla section. The oil trust, and th* copper trust, and th* sugar trust, and the tobacco trust, and the railroad trust, draw no lire from tho mighty hunter’s gun. Their habitat Is rather densely populated with friends of and contributors to the Grand Old Party which he represents and which has car ried him so far. There ts game and good hunting only tn th* outlying wilds of the South, which never votes the Republican ticket and gives to the campaign fund only through the Insur ance companies unlawful contributions. So the department of justice has made a case of conspiracy and restraint of trad* against fertlllaere manufactories and selling agents throughout th* 8outh, and the grand jury which Is meeting at Nashville la to be aaked to bring Indlctmenta before th* federal circuit court, and th* department of Justice wilt maii* a great effort to con vict th* Individuals named as cotuplr- "ng to oppress the people. Just who are th* complalnauts In thla action la not yet apparent. Th* farmers of the South ran scarcely be the suffering victims, for th« farmers are the richest people In these parts just now. and there seems to be no limit t* their possibilities of wealth. Besides, the farmers are doing a right smart bit of combination on their own account to the excellent purpose of forcing a high price for their cotton. A more effective or beneficial trust than that which has been organised by the cotton planters In the South has not yet appeared. There le nothing concealed about Ita operations, and ii la supported and encouraged by the were and public opinion generally, and t has brought greet enhancement of values to this prosperous section. The farmers who have perfected that or ganisation are not likely to question tho right of ths fertiliser men to the application of a Ilka method to their business. The fertiliser men and th* farmer* seem to be of one mind and In close sympathy tn their movement to raise th* price ot cotton, and the fer tiliser people have generally!, contribu ted quite liberally to the fund of the Southern Cotton Association. The In terests of the two Industrie* are mu tual, and doubtless th* cotton growers are quite as well satisfied with th* price* of tertUlaere aa the fertilizer manufacturers are with the price of rollon. It Is hardly likely, therefore, that th* cases against the fertiliser companies are paid by the farmers, for If It should develop that there ts an agreement among Individual manufac turers to hold the market to certain figures, and conviction should follow auch proof, the government would reach next after the cotton growers tor ;***********e**e******e**e**«******************* ***************************< Ne.w York, June 19.—In the death of William Thompson, banker and phil anthropist, the country loess a man who haa done a great deal of good In a qulat, unostentatious way.

"SHOW YOUR TICKETS.” An Interesting lawsuit Is In progress In Georgia. In order to escort an el derly woman relative aboard a train on th* Georgia Central Railway an At lanta man bought a ticket to tile first station out of the city and thus passed th* gateman. Th* ticket bore on Its fac* th* statement that it would be re deemed If not used. After his relative had been safely tacked away In a good seat and the train had started on Its way the man went book to the ticket office and asked that his 18 cents be returned. This the company refused. He prompt ly sued and was awarded 18 cents and costs. Th* company appeal *d and took the case to th* superior court. Here It lost again, and haa now announced that It Intends to carry the case to the highest tribunal In order that the prin ciple Involved may be definitely set tled. There la Justification for the general rule requiring that a ticket ha shown before any one I* given access to the train, but It Is a rule which deserves a liberal Interpretation. There are cases where Its strict enforcement provokes angry feallngs. The subject Is a sore on* with th* commuters who pus through tho Grand Central station, whore th* gat* rul* Is enforced In a most Irritating way by fit* and starts. Commuters who have been traveling through the gates for twenty years on monthly tickets are held up and to all Intents and purposes searched several tlmuamonth In th* hope, apparently, that they have forgotten their tickets on thle particular day and an extra 'are ran be gouged out of them. Regu- ar travellers weU known to the gate- men are refused permission to put aged friends or relatives aboard the care of another line, or even on those of through train of their own road. And railroad managers often wonder why the public Judges them so harshly.— New York Globe. LOOKING BACKWARD AND FORWARD A. M.
