Hearst’s Announcement Makes Bryan
Sure.
The announcement of William Randolph HiarSt, pos
ture and deflnlte'ln Its denial of any presidential ambi
tion. removes from the path of William J. Bryan the
only real or considerable obstacle to a third nomination
by the Democratic party for the presidency of the United
States.
There can be no misunderstanding of Mr. Hearat'a
dlsUnct and definite statement Like everything he does
and everything that he says, it Is bold, frank nnd explicit,
and not only removes him ns a possible candidate for
the presidency, but gives In the -strongest and tersest
form his own splendid and potential Indorsement to Mr.
Bryan's name.
The statement which Mr. Hearst has telographed
from Ban Francisco is the most significant and the moat
Important utterance which has so far been made-In the
matter'of Mr. Bryan's renomlnstlon. It has the most po
tential bearing upon the fortune* of tho Democratlo
party. There was no other man In the party who could
have successfully opposed Mr. Bryan for the nomination.
There was no other man so worthy to have received tho
nomination as Mr. Hearst. If Mr. Bryan baa been the
theorist, Mr. Hearst has been the executtvo of our mod
ern Democracy. It Mr. Bryan has been the speaking
evangel of popular rights and llltcrtlos, Mr. Hearst has
been the fearless and lnconquerable agent of their accom
plishment. ff Mr. Bryan 1 has said things eloquently and
superbly, Mr. Hearst has done things fearlessly and mag
nificently.
And so, when the great Democrat who does things
falls loyally and heartily Into line behind' the great Demo
crat who has preached things and educated tho people,
there can be but one Issue to the nomtnatiug convention,
end the clouds havo all boen scattered that loft any
threat or promise of defeat for tho superb and oloquent
lender of our modorn Democracy.
Mr. Bryan's nomination Is now safely aBsured.
Thank God for that! He represents all that ts best,
cldaneit and purest In our modorn Democrat/.' Ho hns
never apologised and never reenntod one tola of the
doctrines for which the'Umo servers and the half Repub
licans of the party have fought him. Thoro la no suin'
upon his consistency, and no stigma upon bis personal or
political honor. He la a great, clean, brave statesman.
Ho has never deserved tho abuse of ids enemies or
the half-hesrted support of the truckling nnd time-serv
ing 'members of his party. His character hns extorted
the admiration ot Ids political opponents. Ills record
la unassailable, and with the great executive of the Dem
ocratic party and the eight great Democratic newspapers
of William Randolph Hearst thnndoring loyally behind
his campaign, there can be no possible doubt of the tri
umphant nomination and ot the equally triumphant elec
tion of William J. Bryan in 1908.
And be will be less than th^ man we take him to
bet and less worthy than we believe him to be of tho
great things that are tn store for him. If he does not
recognise both now and then the Incompnrablo debt
which he owe* In this great emergency of his political
life to the courage, the forecasting genius and the mag
nificent executive work of William Randolph Hearst
and cared for until they have attained the age end
Strength to do the. work which the world expects of them.
And yet the same human providence that protects the
young In nnlmala and regards the offspring of the brute
creation has been wild and unwise to the summoning
little children to the work and the wear of foil grown
men.
The awakening comes In time, but It comes none too
soon, and the world will be better for the passage
this bin If It shall be repeated In every commonwealth
and In every state.
And so, In this hour It Is our pleasant privilege to
congratulate those gentlemen who have fought the good
light In Its earlier stages. We congratulate the Hon.
Madison Bell, a noble and generous young statesman
who was the father of the original bill In the house.
We congratulate the Hon. .Hooper Alexander, and the
Hon. W. A. Covington, of Colquitt, and the honorable
session wa* reckoned as perhaps the ablest argument
delivered upon this topic during the progress of the de
bate. We congratulate Dr. McKelway and the child labor
committee upon their faithful and now successful cam
paign of education; and we are aura that to all ot these
geutlemon, as to Tho Georgian, which baa been the un
varying advocate of the bill, as also to the right think
ing people of the state, the settlement of this question
brings satisfaction, contentment and Inspiration for the
future ot good causes In the senate.
The Resurrection of the Child Labor
Bill.
It will be pleasant news to many thoughtful and
philanthropic people throughout the state of Oeorgla to
bear that the child labor bill which was killed by the
Georgia senate at Its last session la now about to recelvq
from that same source Its triumphant resurrection.
Tho majority of the present senate have signed the
bill, which Is practically equivalent to the measure pre
sented by tho Hon. Madison Bell to the last legislature
and passed by that body to the consideration ot the upper
bouse. *
There seems to be now absolutely nothing In the way
ot the full and satisfactory succesa of this measure, and
In this happy consummation we shall all rejoice.
It Is an especial source ot comment and congratula
tion that the manufacturers themselves seem to havo
reached a full agreement with the philanthropists In this
matter, and that this righteous and noble measure will
be practically unopposed. Tho manufacturers declare
with much show of Justice thnt their opposition to'tho
b|t! heretofore has been due to tho fact that It was a dis
crimination, and, therefore, a reflection niton the manufac
turer* In the tact that only the children employed In fac
tories were freed from the child slavery, whllo other
children of the same age employed In other business en
terprises were left untouched and unprotected. And
It this claim be true. It made some Justification for the
protest of the manufacturers aud Is a double source of
rejoicing In the more comprehensive nature of the bill
which protects children In every lino of business, and
provides tor their education, as well ns tor their exemp
tion from toll.
There never was anything more naturally and more
logically commendable than this rhlld labor bill. Every
n
parallel In nature sustains It. Tho little calves In the .
meadows and the young colts upon the hills are nurtured [ hot-bod of fraud and brings upon the people a world
The Legitimate Exchanges
The Georgian does not yield to any Individual or or
ganization,in Its desire to suppress the Iniquitous bucket
sliops where speculation on margins Is carried on by
men who are not and could nqt be members ot tho
great legitimate exchanges.'
We share In the fullest degree the righteous Indigna
tion of the general public against a system by which the
Ignorant and confiding are robbed of the money which
they put to bucket sbopa with the hope of getting rich
quick.
It'la a Known fact'that the exchanges ot the large
cities are ai anxious for the suppression of these bucket
shops as any reformer of us all, and that no man who
has ever been engaged tn the bucket shop business can
from that dny forward buy a seat on such exchanges for
any amount of money.
He ie a marked man, an outcast from the world of
legitimate trading.
It should require no effort to demonstrate the fact
that the bucket shop Is a fraud on its - faco when It la
not nnd ennnot bo a member of the legitimate exchanges
and cannot honestly get the dally quotations direct from
those centers. The man who buys futures through such
bucket shops Is simply betting with the proprietors,
whose Interests always are on the bear aide of the
market, and It has already been shown In these columns
how they do not hesitate, when a customer has a mar
gin of profit on their books, to manipulate quotations
during n fluctuating market In order to wlpo out such
profits and cover In his profits. He la utterly Ignorant
of these underground processes and la powerless to pre
vent them. He ts systematically robbed and the legltl-
mate mnrkets are demoralized.
But wo Insist that there 1b a vast deal of difference
botwcon such bucket shops and the legitimate exchanges,
where the prices of commodities are made and regulated
nnd whore the moat atrlngest rules prevail for the
maintenance of the highest honor. The,Georgian has
not hesitated to stand forth and point out the material
difference between legitimate trading for future delivery
nml those gambling establishments known as bucket
shops, and the cordial Indorsement which has come to us
from all qunrters Is a sufficient Indication that we have
done a genuine service In making this distinction clear.
Wo repeat that the manufacturers of cotton goods
would be almost compelled to go out of business If they
were not nllowed to, make contracts for cotton for future
delivery. Once more W6 ( give the Illustration for the
benefit of those who may not have seen It previously. If
n cotton mill Is given an order today for a hundred bales
of cotton goods for delivery next October, that cotton mill
must begin tho work of spinning it Immediately. But
how doos tho spinner know what the price of .cotton
will bo next October and what, consequently, would be
tho proper basis on which to make a price for such cot
ton goods? Ho simply ascertains what Is the price of
the necessary amount of cotton to be delivered next
October. Through the legitlmato exchanges ho can buy
a hundred bales ot cotton for October delivery at a
price ns dcflnlto as he could go out In the open spot
market aud buy the actual cotton for Immediate deliv
ery. Knowing what he will have to pay next October
for tho cotton ho has bought he makes the price of hts
cotton goods accordingly, buys an equivalent amount of
cotton for delivery next October to replace the fleecy
staple he la about to consume and thus has a definite
standard by which to work. He figures definitely on
what will bo the value of hia cotton goods next Octo
ber and he goes to work accordingly,
We respectfully submit that under any other system
the eplnncr would be engaged In a more speculative
business than bucket shopping Itself if he had to sell
cotton goods for future delivery without any knowl
edge of what ho would havo to [fay for the raw material
throe months hence. It would mean the most absolute
demoralisation of hli business.
In our desire to bo entirely frank we have said,
and now repeat, that It ts entirely possible to gamble
on futures on the legitimate exchanges If a man la de
termined to do so. One of the Imperative rules of the
exchanges Is that commodities bought for future delivery
must be actually delivered when tho time cornea—a pro
vision which greatly differentiates It from the bucket
■hop, where there Is no expectation of actually execut
ing tho contract and no machinery for doing so. But
there Is nothing, of course, to prevent a trader on the
legitimate exchanges from telling the cotton he has
bought before the time for delivery and therein lies t^e
possibility of speculating, or gambling If you choose.
The only reply to this frank confession Is that It Is
posslblo to gamble on the wind and tho weather If one
la disposed to do so, and all tho laws on earth cannot
entirely prevent It. The legitimate exchanges maintain
thnt a largo amount of their trading Is on tho part of
spinners who merely "hedge" their contracts so ns to
replace tho cotton they consume with other cotton bought
on a known basis for future delivery.
Furthermore It Is to bo pointed out that the legiti
mate exchanges do not make small transactions, and the
petty pikers who cannot afford to trade in future con
tracts—who have but n small amount of money and
hence can t^ut 111 afford to lose It, ore thereby eliminated.
These exchanges do not make transactions ot less than
a hundred bales, and tho salaried man who is so often
tempted by tho bucket shops to his ruin finds no field
for his operations on the legitimate exchanges.
We wish It understood that we are heart and soul In
favor of the extermination of the bucket shop. It Is the
of misery. Bnt we bare the courage to point out the real
difference between the bucket shop and tho legitimate
exchanges with their honorable membership and strin
gent rules. We are confident that our record of Inde
pendence ts well enough established to permit ns to pre
sent these facta fairly to the people in order tha^ an
Injustice may not be done In wiping ont a patent and
crying fraud.
The Real Estate View.
In this Issue of The Georgian will be found state
ments from the representative real estate dealers of At
lanta containing facts and figures which speak more
eloquently of the prosperity ot the city than all the
words one could employ.
They tell of the building, within a few yean, of a
magnificent residential and manufacturing community
on a site which woe formerly strewn with aabet and de
vastated by a calamity from which the moat optimistic
never dreamed that her citizens could recover. But
with a pluck and a determination for which Atlanta
has become Justly famous her believer* went to work
to resurrect the old and to construct the new city of
which generations to come might be prond.
No class of our great population deserves more
credit for this miracle of recuperation than do the real
estate dealers of Atlanta. With Implicit faith in their
city and with that keen Judgment for which they are
noted, they went to work to convince the citizens of
other sections that Atlanta gave promise of being what
It la today—the most magnificent city in the South.
They have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars
In advertising her advantages. They have unceasingly
glorified • climate that le pulsed with energy. Inspira
tion and achievement They have made It poaalble and
have helped mightily to construct beautiful churches,
splendid schools, paved streets, street car ayatema, san
itary, water, lighting plants, offloe buildings, factories,
■tore-houses and other buildings which require an
enormous expanse of ground. In addition to making
of these buildings a permanent place of residence, and
commerce, they brought to the city laborers, architects,
builders and others who would be employed in doing
this work. These added to the population. Our city
grew apate. The ritllroads realized'the opportunities
of the future. They took advantage of them. They a*
well as our citizens have prospered with the years. And
so we grow great
Every section of the olty Is enjoying prosperity un
paralleled. A'ride on any of the trolley lines will dis
close a panoramic picture of new buildings and bring to
the ear the music of the hammer and the saw. Work
men are busy earning a living for wife and children.
The wise one la laying aside part ot his earnings and
Investing it in Atlanta real estate. He sees the men for
whom' he toll* grow wealthy and be determines to do
likewise. From a small and modest beginning he bulldB
for.himself the foundation of a fortune for the future.
He supplies his old age with comforts, and generations
to come with a competence.
No city in the world has more home-owners than
has Atlanta. |
The real estate dealers, although vitally Interested
financially, may be to an extent classed aa philanthro
pists. Their earnest appeal to economy andilndustry.haa
had Its effect Men have been brought to save who
knew nothing but extravagance. Many a mother and
child have been supplied with a home whereas they
Would have lived In a rented cottage until Illness or old
age took from them the head ot the house whd was
tbclr sole support, and left them upon the world with
little hope for the future.
The real estate dealers Justly deserve the support
of the public. As a class they are keen, conservative and
energetic business men. Aside from whatever financial
Interests may accrue, we heartily commend them aa
worthy of belief and thoughtful ot public Interests, be
cause In serving themselves they_ must necessarily serge
the public. These men are public spirited to a degree
that is bound to result In the upbuilding of any com
munity In which they locate.
We take this occasion to emphasise upon the public
the Items of valuable Information contained In the real
estate page ot any reputable newspaper. We do not
urge upon you to read only the columns ot The Geor
gian. We simply ask you to look for an opportunity;
and no matter through which column It Is brought to you,
seize It A divine providence endowed the majority ot
us with some business Judgment We were given to
know that certain things Would be done. It la plain
aa the noon-day sun that suburban property, easy of ac
cess, Is far more valuable than property remotely lo
cated. We would encourage our friends and especially
young people, to look about, select a site with care and
then make a purchase. One cannot go far wrong; for
Atlanta, one ot the moat magnificent cttlea In the coun
try. will never lag behind. Investment* tn Atlanta dirt
are aa good as government bonds. We simply suggest
to Investors to be conservative.
Beyond the financial consideration Involved we take
pleasure In offering today this real estate edition ot The
Georgian for the reason that it contain* much In which
wo ore firm believers, tor ourselves and for others.
and the running streams where we wandered with the
happy-hearted freedom which owed nothing to Runny-
mede or Yorktown—the freedom that Is the Inalienable
heritage of every full-blooded boy. *
The delinquencies of youth, as we cast them over In
our own minds, grow strangely small and Inoffensive
and we smile Indulgently upon tho Importance they as
sumed In our-callow days. More than ouee It has re
strained the rod ot correction—this remembrance that
we ourselves had been guilty of the same transgressions
In the same frail period ot youth and thoughtlessness.
This la after all the proper attitude to assume to
ward the undeveloped heart and mind which have mat
yet passed through the tutelage and experience which
go toward the making of manhood. As well expect to
gather figs from thistles a* to look for sober conserva
tism In that wild nature which has not yet been dlacl-
pllncd Into a knowledge of social laws and duties. Time
soon enough will teach these lofty but sobering lessons
and the buoyancy, the spontaneity, the freedom and
candor of the formative year* will be gone like last
year's thistledown. We shall look In vain for the
'turned up pantaloons and the merry whistled tunes,"
we shall listen In vain fot the lithe, quick tread of bare
fpet and the April change of smiles and tears. From
the boisterous rebel of yesterday will come the child of
larger growth, destined to take his part in the dusty
conflict of life.
In the meditative hours of advancing years we
are ready to confess that Increase of knowledge is in
crease ot sorrow and one Impulse of boyhood Is worth all
the wisdom of the schoolmen.
"I remember, I remember
The fir-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky.
It was a childish Ignorance,
But now ’Us little Joy
To know I’m farther off from heaven
Than when I was a boy.”
A TRIBUTE TO THE GEORGIAN.
It teems hard Indeed to realize that The Georgian
has become In so short a while such a power In our
midst The success that greeted It at Its recent birth
and has crowned It with such glory and success Is truly
marvelous.
Its pages are filled with chaste and wholesome read
ing, and there la absolutely nothing trashy or unclean
about It Neither Is there anything ot the sensational
which always detracts from the brightest of papers.
There is no paper in the South that can boast of a
finer or more Intellectual class of men from our honored
editor down to those occupying the most Insignificant
positions. Whin The Georgian declared her intention
of barring out all whisky advertisements as well as all
unclean ones her publishers lost thousands of dollars—
yes. tens of thousands—but she went up Immeasurably
In the minds of all right-thinking people and time alone
will prove the grand and far-reaching effect this noble
example will wield on other papers. Atlanta aa a city la
iroud ot The Georgian and Georgia, her namesake, feels
tonored at her selection of t. name. The country as a
whole loves the paper and even the dear, delightful
little wretch-s, the news boys of today, the senators of
the future, cry “Here’s yer Georgian” with a peculiar
pride and tenderness In their voices, showing that even
they appreciate Its greatness.

THE RfGHT OF SUFFRAGE.
Saturday Evening.
It was Sidney Smith who proposed the health ot "the
much calumniated but good King Herod.”
There are times perhaps when Impatient age I* al
most ready to confirm In sober seriousness the Jest of
tho English wit, for If there Is anything that can make
more noise and mischief than a boy It la—to be triti
two boys, qnd so on In geometrical progression.
We have Just passed through a period which by
courtesy ts regarded as the birthday of the republic,
but as a simple matter ot fact It ts the hey-day of the
American boy. True It ts that a number of respectable
gentlemen more or lest advanced In years mount the
rostrum on this anniversary of our independence and
glorify the republic. Our ambassadors beyond the ■
gather about them the American residents In their par
ticular locality and bold their patriotic love-feaits.
But after all It la the American of the rising and
not of the risen generation who appropriates peculiarly
to himself this birthday ot liberty and asaumea a free
dom which parent* and a parental government deny to
hint at every other season of the year except the Christ
mas holidays. It Is he who makes night hideous and the
day ns burdensome as the grasshoper with rockets and
cannon crackers and the varied contrivances of sordid
Ingenuity.
When the wee, weary hours at last arrive and we
succeed In slipping away to slumberland we are quite
ready to toast "the good King Herod."
But the calmer hours brine charity and wisdom, and
we know in our inmost heart that we envy the exuber
ance ot youth. We say with the poet, that when our real
sympathy with the Joys and sorrows of boyhood have
run dry
"Time hath but little left him to destroy;
O happy years, once more who would not be a boy."
Who laid 'tls eight that the negro should vote?
Pray, tell one reason why
He should take a hand In politic*.
Is the ballot made cleaner thereby?
Can It with propriety be said
That he helps to eliminate the bad?
Can even one virtue be plead.
Whereby an excuse may be had?
Does the suffrage conduce to good cltixenshlp
When extended to the black? Pray, tell
What refining Influence this privilege exerts.
Has the tpst in the paat proved well?
To be honest and fair and acknowledge the truth—
Hls vote can never assist
In throwing off the yoke ot corruption and graft,
And forces of evil resist
Nor can It be said that we need "darky’a” vote
In directing the affairs of the state.
We can never attain to a loftier plane,
But only confusion create,
So long as we rely upon the purchasable vote
And permit the corruptionists to reign.
For truly 'tit only a question ot price—
A question of monetary gain.
Why close our eyea to the truth and the right?
What excuae to remain longer blind?
For never can the negro's vote lend In the fight
To better the condition of hls kind.
And neither can hls vote ever strengthen the right.
Nor assist la opposing the wrong.
He Is merely a tool to be used In the fight;
Confusion be can only prolong.
Now would it not be more prudent and wise—
In keeping with Justice and love—
To exercise the right which divinely ts ours—
A positive command from above?
Why “despise dominion," equality to welcome.
In the face of God's holy command
Which was given to Adam In the Garden of Eden
And later to Noah's band?
We have wandered astray In forbidden paths;
Already we have gone too far.
Behold the destruction ot the cities of old—
The cities ot Sodom and Gomorrah.
But the question may be asked "What hath It to do
With Georgia's present campaign?"
And the old traditional advice they renew—
That we should forever refrain
From agitating and discussing the question
Ot the races (so called), and they say
That the question should be left for the future to solve—
Should be left for a future day.
But allow me to whisper a little word here—
If you search you will find It la true—
The ancients were deceived as we are deceived.
And believed In equality too.
And history records the story of their fate—
The story of the flood and of fire.
They pursued the same course that la being pursued
Actuated by the same desire.
But a wave of reform o'erapreada the land.
The people are aroused and awake.
They are taking It upon themselves to demand
The correction ot the franchise mistake.
And may the time be near at hand.
When Justice looms up o'er the land;
When virtue stand* a beacon light.
Indorsing nothing but the right
May each one lend a helping hand, ,
And tn the sternest tone demand,
That “Virtue now shall have Its sway;
Opposing forces, stand away.”

"William Waldorf Astor Is today as

Davy la either "broke”'or "flush” all

against any sort of a gambling game
and keeps at It.
Bernard Shaw, Arnold Daly and all
the balance of those Interested In the
production here of “Mrs. Warren’s Pro-

I have nothing to say except to

America, every conceivable Insult and
outrage was heaped on me by the New

It may be new to some to learn that to

following was written by him nnd read at
bis sister's wedding:

He dwelt in Eden'n shade,

And soon a bride wee mede.
