THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE “It le Indeed a desirable thing to be well de scended, but the glory belongs to our ancestors.” —Plutarch. 51 “Bucket-Shops” and Exchanges. One of the moat Important measure* which will come up for conalderaUon at the present session of the Gen eral Assembly Is a bill prohibiting speculation, on mar gins In commodities for future delivery. This la a measure which will eall for the most ma ture deliberation and the moat persistent effort de manded by any bill before tbe legislative body. On the one hand there Is no desire, and there should be no desire, to restrict or destroy legitimate transaetlon»,or to Invade tbe natural rights of commerce and Industry. At the same time there la an unalterable determl- .nation on the part of the people In general to wipe ont, "once nnd forever, the Iniquitous system of bucket-shop' speculations which are a gamble, pure and simple, with no thought of an actual dallvery of tha commodities purchased on margins. A recent writer on the subject Informs us that the name of “bucket-shop” originated In London about fifty years ago In the slums of the East End where tbe riff raff went about with their “buckets” collecting the swill from beer-kegs thrown out of the saloons, and that the obscure haunts where these unholy gleaners assem bled to enjoy their revels were known as "bucket-shops.” It Is not a very creditable origin for the name of a business which has become so generally established, but according to all Information of Us practices It seems eminently well bestowed. There Is a marked distinction between a legitimate evrhnngo having membership on the great cotton, stock or produce exchanges of the largp centers and these Ir responsible “bucket shops" which carry fraud on their very face. On the New York or New Orleans cotton exchange, for Instance, transactions of less than 100 bales arc not allowed and It Is an absolute and estab lished rule that all trades must bo for actual delivery. The man who buys a thousand bales of cotton or a thou sand bushels of wheat for October delivery, must when October arrives, accept and pay for that cotton or wheat There Is, of course, nothing to prevent him from selling his wheat or cotton before the time of delivery arrive*. The friends and advocates of the legitimate exchanges say frankly that If Is thereby possible to gamble, even on the recognised exchanges, but they argue that It Is possible to gamble on practically every. contingency of life, It a man Is so minded. They hold that the legitimate use of the future mar ket la Indispensable to the operation of factories. A spinner, for Instance, receives an offer for so many bales of cotton goods today, to be delivered next Octo ber. He must begin at once to spin these, goods. He goes on the exchange and buys enough cotton at the price for Ootober delivery, makes his estimate of the cnut ot the cloth on this basis and thereby Insures him self against any loss by fluctuation of the market when the time cornea for the delivery of the goods. He has actually bought ao many bales of cotton at a given price for October delivery to replaco the cotton ho has used In making up the cotton goods to be delivered In Octo ber. It la contend^ that othsrwlse the work of spinning would be more of a'speculation than prevails under the present system. There la no objection In any quarter to this legiti mate practice, and the friends of the legitimate ex changes contend that It la absolutely necessary to the conduct of the spinning business. Tbe concerns are as anxious as any one else to eliminate the bucket al)ops. In tbe Drat place It la con- (ended that such bucket shoppers do not and could not have membership on the large exchanges. It la a known fiict that no man who haa ever bad any connaotton with a bucket shop can buy a aeat on the large exchanges at any price. He la a marked man from the time he en ters the bucket shop bualnets. Ho cannot legitimately got quotations from the exchanges, and consequently he resorts to such practices as tapping the wires or se curing secret Information from eome unworthy member of tbe big exchanges who haa not yet been discovered and exposed. These bucket shops are known to manipulate their quotations In order to wipe out the margins of custom ers who would otherwise stand to make a profit, and this la done In the moat shameless manner by a system of "wash sale*” which are nothing more than fictitious qnotatlona during a fluctuating market ao os to wipe out the margin of a speculator when quotations are alleged to fall below e point covered by tbe margins. This la but one of the methods employed, while It te e known fact that none of the contracts made are In tended to be executed, for the simple reason that tbe men who make them have no seat on the big exchangee. The < 'iatomer Is simply betting with the members ot the bucket shop—and It la not necessary to say that the let ter bare all the advantage. The Georgian has no desire to do anything more than to present this question clearly before the people- The whole country Is JnaUy aroused against the bucket shops and the state of Georgia owes It te Itself to enact legislation which will wipe them out forever. Bst the question naturally arises would It not be bet ter to begin, at least, by legislating only against what are known to be fraudulent and Illegal concerns before aiming a blow at one of tbe component pert* of a sys tem ot legitimate business? There may be some at tendant evils even on the pert of the recognised ex changes, but we should look et the matter from a prac tical point of view, consider the fact that It la possible to gamble even on the moot legitimate transactions, and then go out after the known abuses before disorganis ing the entire system of commerce. This distinction Is made by many ot the most prom inent and substantial cltlsens of the state—men who are as anxious for the suppression of the bucket shops as any one else, and It seems but fair that this distinction -i.-uld be taken Into consideration by the fair-minded and dispassionate members of the legislature who hare this "nr In hand. The Telegraph and Its Editor. A few days ago we quoted from The Macon Tele graph an outside paragraph over which The Telegraph had written a aarcaatlc headline, nnd both headline and paragraph were In pursuance of a policy which The Tele graph has of late developed, to reflect upon the Democra cy and consistency of the editor of this paper. To this paragraph and headline we replied In kind. Wo took occasion to call attention to a most abusive article which Thq Telegraph had written ttfc years ago about Mr. William J. Bryan, and wo went ao far aa to suggest that this editorial might bo seriously era- barrasslng to <o ardent n professor of Democracy aa Tho Telegraph In case Mr. Bryan’s present magnlflcont popu larity should crystall.xo Into a third nomination for tho presidency. To this The Telegraph makes an elaborate and lengthy reply which seeks to cover Its defense upon many sins of omission and of commission. We quote one paragraph for the purpose of personal comment: “Every man that knows anything shout the con duct of a dally ‘newspaper must know that It re quires many pens and several scissors to mako as great a paper as The Telegraph, and that the odl- tor-ln-obief cannot drive them all. Of course Tho Telegraph ae an organised. Incorporated Institution Is morally and legally responsible for all that appears In It* columns, nnd we wish In no way to escape any • such responsibility; but ns The Georgian charges malice afpretnought to the Individual head ot this paper, whoso namo Is called, the fact that Mr. Pen dleton never saw the paragraph until The Georgian reproduced it. Is stated here simply and solely to shovj that the charge of malice against him has no foundation. This Is stated, be It understood, to shirk no responsibility. But, to save our life, wo can see no harm In the little hcndllne. Nevertheless, If It Is offensive to Mr. Graves, wo cheerfully express our regret that It appeared In these columns. We will state further that the ,gentleman who wrote tho headline hnB the highest personal regard for Mr. Graves, nnd he had no thought of wounding him. It was Intended as s piece of good-natured raillery, and nothing more.” The Telegraph Is mistaken In the supposition that the editor of The Georgian was either wounded or of fended by Its paragraph. Anger Is a luxury which no really great newspaper'should Indulge. The newspaper Is Impersonal. It Is a public voice and not a private or gan. When Its Integrity Is assailed it should not respond In temper, but in tranquil refutation, and when it Is nec essary to Impugn the reliability ot tho assailant that task should be performed In evenness of spirit and In am- plltude of fact The single paragraph and headline which appeared In The Telegraph) was only an Incidental and compare tlvely trivial expression of a policy which has been fre quently evident In that papor to reflect hpon the political attitude of the editor of Tho Georgian. We havo been charged with fomenting strife, with consorting with tho enemies of tbe party, nnd with being the author 6f twp- thlrds ot the reforms now being agitated in the rapkB of the Democracy. For this last allegation, which Is partly true, we are undor obligations which make It Im possible for us to grow heated over- the Injustice of the earlier charges. And so not in temper, but In amiable reprisal, we found It necessary to revive a little record of Journalistic expression which we do not Intend to use maliciously, but ■hall only reservo to hold In check any disposition on the part of The Telegraph to grow excessively gay during th* progress ot tho national campaign. Jhe .Telegraph Iq p. great critic—and The Telegraph Is likely to concede tho point without argument—but The Telegraph must learn to refrain from throwing stones while It I* either living or boarding In a glass house. We ere not angry with The Telegraph. By no means. We entertain for Colonel Pendleton the same high regard and admiration wo have always felt, and this no public or political tontroversy can destroy. But we would have the dear Colonel understand that when he seeks to cloud honest argument between us with crltlcsl personalities, that we have him, for this national campaign at least, distinctly on the hip In the possession of an editorial whose responsibility he could not evade If he would (and he has not tried) and that this editorlsl must make him modest In his arraignment ot honest Democrats who do not think by rule or act by measure, but who believe In Democratic principles as old as the republic and as venerable as tbe Democratic fa thers who wrote them. For the rest we speed to our esteemed contemporary the assurance of our unchanged fellowship and regard. Shall Labor Enter Politics ? The Washington Post of June 21st haa the following very Interesting presentation of fact and of opinion, which It would be well for wise men In all parties to con sider before the advent of tho next presidential election. Says the Washington Post: The failure of congress to take any action upon the anti-injunction bill end the smothering ot the eight-hour bill, after a favorable report had been se cured from tho committee, and other evidences of a hostile disposition on the part of certain members ot congresa and political leaden, has caused a wide spread and serious discussion among labor leaders aa to the advisability of labor entering politics and tak ing an active part In political campaigns aa a unit. Theao discussions culminated In a meeting ot the executive counett of the American Federation of Labor yesterday, and Representative William Ran dolph Hearat, who, In Ms official capacity and through his newspapers, haa made himself a friend of labor, was Invited to attend and make hla vlewk known. Mr. Hearat sold last night: "I spoke briefly be fore the committee, merely expressing views that hkre already appeared In my newspapers. I be lieve that labor should go Into politics and make a demonstration of Its strength. It will not receive from either of the old parties the consideration It deserves until It haa shown Its power at the polls. “The labor movement must disregard party lines more or lees, and must use Its Influence to advance Its friends and expose Its enemies. To promote the principles It advocates, labor must elect a certain number of olfire holders who owe their first alla- giance to the organised body of workers that elected them. “The labor people would probably achieve the most If they. should elect a sufficient number ot men to hold tbe balance of power In congress, for IntUnce. % “They wontd be In the position of the Irish mem bers ot the house of commons, who do mot have a majority, and yet, holding the balance of power, suc ceed in securing tbe adoption of measures that serve their Interests best. “This la the day of Independent thought and ac tion In politics. The words Democrat and Republi can no longer define anything. Thera SYe- corpora tion Democrats and Jefferaonlajt Democrats. There are corporation Republicans and Lincoln Republi cans. and the Jeffersonian Democrats and Lincoln Republicans are more nearly alike than they era like tbe other wings of their respective parties. The battle must be fought according to principle, and not according to party names, and the same thing that applies to tbe laboring people applies to the people *t large. “There must be s distinct line drawn some where and In some way between those that stand for special privilege and those that stand for equal rights; between trust government and popular gov ernment. Either It will come abont that one of the * old parties will stand for ,the trusts and the other will stand for the people—and the battle will be fought out In that way, or else there will be a third party formed 'The people aro determined to resume control of the government, nnd unless they can capture one of the other parties they will start a new party. The labor movement Is a phase of this general Indepen dent movement, and the laboring people will serve their Interests best If they vote for their friends and the principles, and are not herded to the polls within party lines.” While Mr. Hearst and President GomperB de clare the meeting did not contemplate even remote ly any political alliances In 1908, the other labor leaders were enthusiastic over the conference, and till- observation was general that tho beginning of tile Federation's advent Into active politics would now he systematically mado under experienced lead ership. The wonder Is that the action suggested by Mr. Hearst has not been put Into effect a long time ago. In tlmo past the advent of labor Into politics as a distinct organization hns been accompanied with some mistakes, and has, therefore, met with some degree of disaster at the polls, but In this larger and more enlightened nge. It cannot bo denied that tho Indifference of certain forms of qapltallsts which are themselves active and dominant In politics to the rights and Interests of la boring classcB, would seem to demand a reciprocal In terest on the part of the laboring men In public affaire and a counter organization to establish and protect the rights which aro Imperiled by tbe organizations about them. No man could deprecate more thoroughly than we do any suggestion of class antagonism or of class legislation, but no fair nnd thinking man can read tbe history of these eventful times about us without seeing a justlfl cation for labor In entering upon politics In such organ Ized and self-protecting system as will, at least, preserve tho bnlanco between their Interests and the Interests of the grqatcr corporations. * Wellman’s Search for the Pole. Walter Wellman sailed today for Tromsoe and from there will push on Immediately to Spitsbergen. From the latter place ho will sail In his large and well equipped balloon on one of the most perilous and yet one of the most promising expeditions In search of the North Foie ever made by any man. The fate of Andreo Is still fresh In the minds of tho reading public. That is, so much of Ms fate as has over become known. SInco the day whet? he made his ascent In a mammoth balloon no word of him has ever been directly received. It 1b believed that be was killed by savage Esquimaux, who were frightened by his firing at reindeer being killed for food, but this la merely an hy pothesis. The truth of the matter. In the very nature of things, will probably never be known. But tho disaster which befell Andreo and his party has not deterred the well-known newspaper man from making this further attempt to reach the pole by means ot a dirigible balloon. Ho has gone about his task In tho most systematic manner. The sclenco of aerial navigation has reached a much higher degree of perfec tion than It had attained at the time Andreo mado his attempt, nnd Wellman has availed himself of all the new devices to Insure speed and safety. He apparently has calculated every possible contingency. The world will await with the keenest expectation the result of his expedition. If he Is successful he will have accomplished a feat which has been tho dream ot daring adventurers ever slnco a northwest passage to thh Indie/ first dawned upon tbe Imagination ot tbe world. Tho northwest passage Itself has been found within the past twelve months, but It was found to Ho far south of the pole, and tho great desideratum which was the outgrowth of this search for It, vlx., the attainment of the pole Itself, Is yet one of the unaccomplished labors of explorers. The bones of thousands ot men He whiten ing on the froxen wastes of tho arctic regions, grim tes timony to their daring and resolution In a desperate un dertaking, but the advancement of science baa cleared away so many mysteries and accomplished so much that was seemingly Impossible that It I* not by aqjr means Improbable that Wellman may adcceod. The civilised world will look on with anxious expec tation and thousands of good wishes follow the daring aeronaut on bis perilous Journey. CARD FROM JUDGE HINE8. To tho Editor of Tho Georgian: In the card of Captain Yancy Carter, which appeared In your paper of the 26th Instant, he misstates the facts so far ns I am concorned. I did not make the statement attributed to me in this article, to the effect that Mr. Wat son conferred with "nobody—none of the leaders, cer tainly not me.” and that "I tried to get him to tell me what he was going to say In his -speech and he refused.” It would have been Impossible for me to know that Mr. Watson conferred with "nobody—nono of the lead ers;" and I could not and did not make such statement, for I make It a point not to make statements which I do not know to In- true. Nor did I mako tho silly statement that I tried to get Mr. Watson to tell mo what he was going to say In his speech and he refused. In my office. In the presence of several gentlemen, of whom Captain Carter was one, the question came up, If I kru-w beforehand that Mr. Watson was going to make the statement In his Atlanta speech, that If the Democrats were la earnest about the fear of negro dom ination and wanted to put the negro out of politics, he would Join them; and I replied that I did not. f fur ther stated that there was no conference of the leaders of the Populist party on the subject of the disfranchise ment of tho negro, so far as I knew. Mr., Watson's views on this subject were well known. I was not surprised at his statement. Mr. Wat son's position Is this, as I understand It. tbpt he bad com municated his views to the leaders of his party, and nls views 'on this subject were well known: that no dissent was expressed; that his statement on negro disfranchise ment In his Atlanta speech was met with uproarious and hearty applause and approval; and thnt the approvers and applattders of his statement should stand by him In carrying out his pledge on this subject. I acquit my friend. Carter, of any Intention to mis quote me, but he made a careless reporter. JAMES IC. HINES. Atlanta, Juno 28. CARD FROM AN EX-CONFEDERATE. To the Editor of Tho Georgian: Thorugh the kindness of my son. of tho Birmingham and Atlantic railroad, I am made a subscriber to your much esteemed paper. I see In a copy one day last week that three young ladles of. Agnes Scott Institute are rep resented aB being In Asheville, N. C„ at a Y. M. C. A. meeting, mnrchlng with a banner nnd singing “March ing Through -Georgia." Is this' not a mistake of your correspondent? Ib It possible that three Southern young ladles would sing In public a Hoag which glorltles the Incendiary Sherman and hla bummers for destroying tho property of their fathers and insulting their mothers and grandmothers? Or perhaps they were Northern young ladles attending that Institute. But would It not bo questionable taste even In them to sing this song In a Southern town? What a contrast to the dear little girl In Louisville who refused to sing It and even put her fingers In her ears to prevent hearing It nnd Is now an honorary member of several United Confederate Veteran camps. AN OLD CONFED. St Charles, S. C., June 23. "A CREDIT TO ALL NEW8PAPERDOM.” (Brooklyn, N. Y., Standard Union) The Atlanta Georgian, John Temple Graves' new pa per, seems to be a success from the start, and It hns been running only a Uttlo over n month. Mr. Graves Is an advocate of high Ideals and boldly declares for Inde pendence In politics. The columns of The Georgian are free from tho sort of literature that has lately disgraced the pages of his contemporaries and which was supposed to belong to a past ern of Journalism, that of the wild and woolly West. Mr. Graves Is, or was, a candidate for the nomination by his fellow citizens to the United States senato, but there Is no sign of tho personal abuse qf any rival candidate, such as Is raging between the noted candidates, both in control of an “organ," who aro seek ing the guheriiHtiirl.il nomination. Mr. Graves Is evidently doing his best to elevate dhe tone of Georgia Journalism, nnd it was high time. His paper deserve* to succeed, for It is a credit to all newspaperdom. It appears to bo getting Its full share* of the "sinews of war” for a newspaper, the patronage of the business men of Its town, and that meanB a great deal. It Is well made up. typographically and otherwise, and makea n neat appearance, barring the big cartoons, but thnt Is n common fault of tho day In newspaperdom. INTANGIBLE. Tomorrow Is & wonderful something to como; As yesterday’s a wonderful something to go; Though coming, and going, they stay In one place; Though constantly standing they're still In tho race; Today Is a thing pretty constant at hand: He leaves In tho night but to taka tho same stand; Tonight Is hist lady, who In mourning he dresses; For she has a husband half dead, she confesses; 'TIs thus all tho days and tbe nights hasten by; For yesterday's dead; nnd tomorrow'll soon dlo; Today or tonight Is tho tlmo to consume; As yesterday's gono, and tomorrow can’t come. Cordele, Oa., June 25,1906. M ' STEAD ’ THE GEORGIAN REMARKABLE IN NEWSPAPER HISTORY ■ BRUCE KENNEDY. One of the South’s Best Known Newspaper Workers Pays The Georgian a Splendid i Compliment. Hon. John Temple Graves, Atlanta, Os. My Dear Mr. Graves:' Please let me tell you how completely soul' satisfying The Georgian Is to one who has been plodding In a newspaper way for about etghtoan years. It so fully fills my Ideals ot what the June, 1104, newspaper should be that I find myself reading, re-reading and carefully analyzing It every day It Is published. Next to my family, I take more interest In the handling ot news than anything else In this world. And so Tho Georgian nestles close to my heart. Your staff has gone right to the core of the thing, and they art eo ably supported by the mechanical departments that the result Is re markable In the newspaper history of our country. Many years 1 have been an enthusiastic admirer of the Chicago newspapers. I have thought that the paper* of the Western city handled thetr news In the most admirable manner of any newspapers on earth. Slnca tha beginning of The Georgian I have said repeatedly to my young men that your newspaper Is the beet exponent of newspaperdom In this country. I sincerely hope that the people of Georgia aro showing a material ap preciation of what you are doing, and I know that the men you have about you are reaplxf the greatest measure of satisfaction In the dally execution of their fin • Was. It was in my h.-at/l to write you these things, and I had to get It out The day wilt coot*. soon I hope, when I will be able to see you In person and congratulate you with more cordiality than I have been able to do here. With assurance of my high regard and since rest wishes for the suc cess of your undertaking, I am, sir. Yours very truly. BRUCE KENNEDY. City Editor Montgomery Advertiser. Montgomery, Ata, June II, 1*04. SITE FOR A NEW GOVERNOR'S MANSION. To the Editor of The Georgian: Giving In my tax the other day, Mr. Armlet sad remarked that eome partita were advocating building a ngw gov ernor's mansion away out Peachtree street, but he thought, os the state house was on ths south side of the city, ths governor's residence should be near It. and an Idea* lot for the pur pose was the former home of that good and great man. Governor Joseph E. Brown, on Washington street. He thought the Brown heirs would bo willing .to dispose of ths lot for the governor's dwelling, and It would be so accessible to hie place of business, the capftoL and convenient to the mem bers of the legislature, and It would prove a healthful walk for the govern or to go and coma for hla meals Instead of taking the street car* all tha time. I thought tc a capital Idea and told him to get Mr. Graves to write It up In The Georgian, and said I would call ' 1m and suggest tt. You were not In. to I have written the above, that you may seal tha proposition with your most potent approbation If It strikes your eupertor Judgment as It does my Imagination. Respectfully, June 21. J. J. RICHARDS. OUR MUNICIPAL PRAYER. (By A. L. A.)

In regard to Judge McWhorter's let ter. recently pybllshed In reply to Hon. Hoke Smith, I have this to eay: I was passing through Athena on mjr way to a speaking appointment, nnd ntopped at the Commercial hotel U! hour or two, waiting for the train. No one in Athens, u far at I know, knew-in advance of my passtngtbrough the city at that time. I met Mr. Hugh Rowe, editor of Thq Athens Banner, who came to my room and read over to me Judge McWhor- terie letter. After hearing the letter read, 1 asked Mr. Rowe to request Judge McWhorter to leave out of his letter all reference to me, ae I did not wish to become connected with any B irsonal controversy existing between on. Hoke Smith and Judge McWhor ter. At this time I did not expect to eee Judge McWhorter. However, be fore I left. Judge McWhorter came to my room. I mode the eome statement to Judge McWhorter, which I had rood# to Mr. Rowe, and requested him to leave out of hie letter all reference to nie for the reason already stated. Judge McWhorter, upon reflection, raid he believed I was right and he would do ao. Pretty soon. I left for my train. I did not see Hon. Clark Howell or have any communication with' him In any manner whatever. Did not know Judge McWhorter had written any such letter until It was read to me by Mr. Rowe. In passing through Athens, the “t Mr. Rowe, the reading of Judge McWhorter's letter to me, and meeting Judge McWhorter Was all accidental and wholly unexpected to me. Pam aura I had no deelre to do Hon. Hoke Smith or any one else any In- )ustlce and did not directly, or Indi rectly, remotely or otherwise, help any one to fix up a letter abusing him, or raferring to him In any manner. All I wish to eay or to write In reference to Hon. Hoke Smiths or eny one else. I will s*y myself and write over my own signature. I am run nine my own campaign and will be glad to have the help of all thoee who Indorse my platform. The public will not fall to see that the effort to distort the facts and lug me into a controversy existing be- tween the Hon. Hoke Smith and Hon. Clark Howell, on the one part, or Hon. Hoke Smith and Judge McWhorter on th* other part, does me great In justice. JAS. M. SMITH. Smlthonla, Ga., June 17. 1906.
