Hearst’s Announcement Makes Bryan
Sure.
The announcement of William Randolph Hearst, pou
ltice and definite In Ita 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. Hoarst's
distinct and definite statement Like everything he does
and everything that be says. It Is bold, frank and explicit,
end not only removes him os a possible candidate for
the presidency, but gives In the strongest and tersest
form his on splendid and potential Indorsement to Mr.
Bryan's name.
The statement which Mr. Hearst haa telegraphed
from 8an Francisco la the most significant and the moat
Important utterance which has ao far been made In the
matter of Mr. Bryan'e renomlnatlon. It has the most po
tential bearing upon the fortnnea of the Democratic
party. There wai no other man In the party who could
liavo successfully opposed Mr. Bryan for the nomination.
There was no other man ao worthy to have received the
nomlnaUon as Mr. Hoarat. If Mr. Bryan has been the
theorist, Mr. Hearst has been the executive of our mod
em Democracy. It Mr. Bryan has been the speaking
ovangel of popular rights and liberties, Mr. Hearst has
been the fearless and Inconquerable agent of their accom
plishment. It Mr. Bryan haa said things eloquently and
superbly, Mr. Hearst haa done things fearlessly and mag
nificently.
And no, when the great Democrat who does things
falls loyally and henrUly Into line behind the grant Demo
crat who has preached things and educated the people,
there can be but one Issue to the nominating convention,
nnd the clouds have all beon scattered thdt left any
threat or promise of defeat for the superb and eloquent
leader of our modem Democracy,
Mr. Bryan’s nomination Is now safely assured.
Thank God for that! lie represents all that Is beat,
cleanest and purest In ouf modern Democracy. He has
never apologized and never recanted one lota of the
doctrines for which the Ume servers and the halt Repub
licans of the party have fought him. There la no ataln
upon his consistency, and no stigma upon his personal or
political honor, be Is a great, clean, brave statesman,
lie has never deserved the abuse of his enemies or
the half-hearted support of the truckling and time-serv
ing members of his party. Hla character baa extorted
the admiration of hla pollttcal opponents. Hla record
la unassailable, and with the great executive of the Dem
ocratic party and the eight great Democratic new*papers
of William Randolph Hearst thundering loyally behind
hts campaign, there can be no possible doubt of the tri
umphant nomination and of the equally triumphant elec
tion of William J. Bryan In 1908.
And he will be less than the man we take him to
bo. and less worthy than we believe him to be of the
great things that are In store for him. If he does not
rncognlro both now and then the Incomparable debt
which he owee In this great emergency of hts political
life to the courage, the forecasting genius snd the mag
nificent executive work of William Randolph Hoarst
and cared for until they hsve attained the age and
strength to do the work which the world expects of them.
And yet the same human providence that protects the
young In animals snd regards the offspring of the brute
creation has boon wild and unwlso to the summoning of
llttl# children to the work and the wear of full grown
men.
Tbs awakening comes In time, but It comes none too
soon, and the world will be better for the passage of
this bill if It shall be repeated la 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
fight 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
gentlemen of the house who have lifted eloquent apd
convincing voices in behalf of this nobla measure. Wa
epngratulate with especial heartiness the Hon. Charles
Murphy Candler, whose speech In the senate at the last
scanlon was reckoned as perhaps the ablest argument
delivered upon this topic during the progress of tho de
bate. Wo congratulate Dr. McKelway and the child labor
committee upon their faithful and now successful cam
paign of education; and we are sure that to all of these
gentlemen, as to The Georgian, which has been tho 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 of 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 Georgia to
hear that the child labor bill which was killed by the
Georgia senate at Its laat session la now about to receive
from that same source Ua triumphant resurrection.
The majority of the present senate have signed the
hill, which Is practically equivalent to the measure pre
sented by the Hon. Madison Bell to the last legislature
and passed by that body to the consideration of the upper
house.
There seems to be now absolutely nothing In the way
of the fall and satisfactory success of tht# measure, and
in this happy consummation wo shall all rejoice.
It la an especial source of comment and congratula
tion that tho manufacturers themselves seem to hnvo
reached a fell agreement with the philanthropists In this
matter, and that this righteous nnd noble measure will
be practically unopposed- The manufacturers declare
with much show of justice thnt their opposition to the
bill heretofore has been due to the fact that It was a dis
crimination, and, therefore, a reflection upon tho manufac
turers in the fact that only the children employed In fac
tories were freed from the child slavery, while other
children of the ««mn age employed In other business en
terprises were left untouched and unprotected. Aud
If this claim be true. It made some justification for tho
protest of the manufacturers and Is a double source of
rejoicing in the more comprehensive nature of the bill
which protects children In every line of business, nnd
provides for their education, as well as for their exetup-
The Legitimate Exchanges
The Georgian does not yield to any Indlvldnal or or
ganisation,in its desire to suppress the Iniquitous bucket
■bops whero speculation on margins is carried on'by
men who are not aud could not bo members of tht
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 in bucket, shops with the hope of getting rich
quick.
It Is a known fact that the exchanges of the large
cities are as anxious for the suppression of these bucket
shops as any reformer of us all, and that no man who
haa ever been engaged In the bucket shop business can
from that’day forward buy a seat on such exchanges for
any amount of money.
He Is a marked man, an outcast from the world of
legitimate trading.
It ahoqld; require no effort to demonstrate the fact
that, the bucket (hop la a fraud on.Its face when, It Is
not and cannot be a member of the legitimate exchanges
and cannot honestly got the dally quotations direct from
those centers. The man who bays futures through such
bucket shops Is Simply betting with the' proprietors,
whose Interests always are on the beaV side 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 u fluctuating mnrkot In order to wipe out such
profits nnd cover In his profits. He Is utterly Ignorant
of these underground processes and Is powerless to pre
vent them. He Is systematically robbed and the legiti
mate markets are demoralized.
But we Insist that there Is a vast deal of difference
between such bucket shops and the legitimate exchanges,
where the prices of commodities are made and regulated
nml whore the, most stringent rules prevail for the
maintenance of tho highest honor. The Georgian haa
not hesitated to stand forth and point out the material
difference between legitimate trading for future delivery
nnd those gambling establishments known aa bucket
shops, and Uie cordial Indorsement which has come to us
from all quarters'la a aufllclent 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
wore not allowed to make contracts for cotton for future
dellrery. Once more we give tho Illustration for the
benefit of those who may not have seen It previously. If
a cotton mill Is given an order today for a hundred bales
of cotton goods for delivery next October, that cotton mill
must begin the work of spinning It Immediately. But
how doos the spinner know what the price of cotton
will be next October and what, consequently, would be
the proper basts on which to make a prlca for such cot
ton goods? He simply ascertains what Is the price of
the necessary amount of cotton to he. delivered next
October. Through the legitimate exchanges he can buy
a hundred bales of cotton for October delivery at a
price aa definite as he could go out In the open spot
market apd buy the actual cotton for Immediate deliv
ery. Knowing what he will have to pay next October
for tho cottsn he has bought he makes the price of his
cotton goods accordingly, buys an equivalent amount of
cotton for delivery next October to replace the fleecy
staple he Is about to consume and thus haa a definite
standard by which to work. Ho figures definitely on
what will be the value of his cotton goods next Octo
ber nnd he goes to work accordingly.
We respectfully submit that under any other system
the Bplnnor 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 have to pay for the raw material
three months hence. It would mean the most absolute
demoralisation of his business.
In our desire to be entirely frank we have said,
and now repeat, that It is entirely possible to gamble
on futures on the legitimate exchanges If a man Is de
termined to do so. One of the Imperative rules of the
oxchunges la that commodities bought for future dellrery
must be actually delivered when the time comes-pa pro
vision which greatly differentiates It from the bucket
shop, where there Is no expectation of actually execut
ing tho contract nnd no machinery fqr doing ao. But
thcro la nothing, of course, to prevent a trader on the
legitimate ’exchanges from selling the cotton he has
bought before the time for delivery and therein lies the
possibility of speculating, or gambling If you choose.
The only triply to this frank confession Is that It Is
insslblo to gamble on the wind and the weather if one
Is disposed to do so, nnd all the lnws on earth cannot
entirely prevent It The legitimate exchanges maintain
that a large amount of their trading la on the pari of
Bplnners who merely "hedge'' their contracts so as to
replace the cotton they consume with other cottotr bought
on a known basis for future dellrery.
Furthermore it Is to be 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 a small amount of money and
hence can but 111 afford to lose It, are thereby eliminated.
These, exchanges do not make transactions of leas than
a hundred bales, and the salaried man who la ao often
tempted by the bucket shops to his ruin finds no field
of misery. But we have the courage to point out the real
difference between the bucket shop and the legitimate
exchanges with their .honorable membership and strin
gent rules. We are confident that our record of Inde
pendence Is well enough established to permit us to pre
sent these factfc fairly to the people In order that an
Injustice may not be dono In wiping out a patent and
crying fraud.

The Real Estate View.
In this Issuo of The Geo.-sma w!” bo found state
ments from the representative real estate dealers of-At
lanta containing facts and figures which speak more
eloquently of the proaperlty of the city than all tho
words bne could employ.
• They tell of tho*bulldlng, within a few years, of a
magnificent residential and manufacturing community
on a alto which was formerly strewn frith ashes and de
vastated by a calamity from which the most optimistic
never dreamed that her citizens could recover. But
with a pluck and a determination for which Atlanta
has become justly famous her believers went to work
to resurrect tho old aud to construct the new city of
which generations to come might be proud.
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
er sections .that Atlanta gave promise of being wbat
lHs today—the most magnificent city In the South.
They have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars
In advertising her advantages. They have unceasingly
glorified a climate that Is pulsed with energy, inspira
tion and achievement. They have made It possible and
have helped mightily to construct beautiful churches,
splendid schools, paved streets, street car systems, san
itary, water, lighting plants, office buildings, factories,
store-houses and other buildings which require
enormous expanse of ground. In addition to making
of these buildings a permanent place of residence, and
commerce, they brought tq the city laborers, architects,
builders and others who would be employed In doing
this work. These added to the population. Our city
grew apace. The railroads realized the opportunities
of the future. They took advantage of them. They as
well as our citizens have prospered with the years. And
so we grow great
Every section of the city la 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 Is laying aside part of bis earnings and
Investing It in Atlanta real estate. Ha sees the men tor
whom he tolls grow wealthy and he determines to do
likewise. From a small and modest beginning he bullda
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 as philanthro
pists. Their earnest appeal to economy and Industry hat
had its effect Men have been brought -to ; save who
khew nothing but extravagance. Many a mother and
(illd hare been supplied with a home whereas they
wUuld bare lived In a rented cottage until illness or old
age took from them the head of the house who was
their 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 of public Interests, be
cause In serving themselves they must necessarily serve
the public. These men are publle 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 emphasize upon the publle
the Items of valuable Information contained‘in the real
estate page of any reputable newspaper. We do not
urge upon you to' read only the columns of The Geor
gina. We simply ask you to look for an opportunity;
and no matter through which column It is brought to you,
■else It A divine providence endowed the majority of
us with some business judgment 'We were given to
know that certain things would be done. It la plain
as the noon-day aun that suburban property, easy of ac
cess, is far more valuable than property remotely lo
cated. We would encourage our friendi 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 of the most magnificent cities In the coun
try, will never lag behind. Investments In Atlanta dirt
are as good as government bonds. We simply suggest
to Investors to be' conservative.
Beyond the financial consideration Involved we take
pteaanre In offering today this real estate edition of The
Georgian for the reason that It contains much In which
we are firm believers, for ourselves and for others.
and the running streams whero we wandered with the
happy-hearted freedom which owed nothing to Runny-
mede or Yorktown—tho freedom that Is the Inalienable
heritage of every foil-blooded boy.
The delinquencies of youth, as wo cast them over in
our own minds, grow strangely small and inoffensive
and we smile Indulgently upon the Importance they as
sumed In our callow days. More than once it has re
strained the rod of correction—this remembrance that
wo ourselves had been guilty of the same transgressions
In the same frail period of youth and thoughtlessness.
This Is after all the proper attitude to assumo to
ward the undeveloped heart and mind which havo not
yet passed tbroagb the tutelage and experience which
go toward the making of manhood. As well expect to
gather figs from thistles as to look for sober conserva
tism In that wild nature which has not yet been disci
plined Into a knowlcdgo 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 years will be gone like last
year’s thistledown. We lhall.look in vain for the
"turned np pantaloons and the merry whistled tunes,”
we shall listen in vain for the Uthe, quick tread of bare
feet and the April change of smiles and tears. From
tho boisterous rebel of yesterday will come the child of
larger growth,' destined to take hla part In the dusty
conflict of life. w
In tho meditative hours of advancing years we
are ready to confess that Increase of knowledge is in
crease of sorrow and one lmpfilse of boyhood Is worth all
the wisdom of tho schoolmen.
“I remember, I remember
The fir-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the aky.
It was a childish Ignorance,
But now ’Us little Joy
' To know I'm farther off from heaven
Than when I waB a boy."
A TRIBUTE TO THE GEORGIAN.
It seems 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 giory and success Is truly
marvelous. i
Its pages are filled with chaste and wholesome read-'
Ing, and there Is absolutely nothing trashy or nnclean
about It. Neither la there anything of 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. Whtn The Georgian declared her Intention
of barring out all Whisky advertisements as well as all
unclean ones her publishers lost thouiands*of dollars—
yes, tens of thousands—but she Vent 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 Is
jroud of The Georgian and Georgia, her namesake, feels
tonored at her stlectlon of u name. The country ns 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 tendernesa In their voices, showing that even
they appreciate Its greatness.
2 Warren Place. MRS. D. A RUSSELL.
THE RIGHT OF 8UFFRAGE.
Saturday Evening.
It was Sidney Smith who proposed the health of "the
much calumniated but good King Herod.”
There are times perhaps when Impatient age la al
most ready to confirm In sober seriousness the Jest of
the English wit, for It there It anything that can make
more noise and mischief than a boy It is—to be trite-
two boys, and so on in geometrical progression.
We have Just passed through a period which by
courtesy la regarded as the birthday of the republic,
but aa a simple matter of fact It Is the hey-day of thp
American boy. True It Is that a number of respectable
gentlemen more or lest advanced In years mount tho
rostrum on this anniversary of our Independence and
glorify the republic. Our ambassadors beyond the seas
gather about them the American residents In their par
ticular locality and hold their patriotic love-feasts.
But after dll It Is tho American of the rising and
not of the risen generation who appropriates peculiarly
to himself this birthday of liberty and aosames a free
dom which parents and a parental government deny to
him at every other season of the year except the Chrnt-
mas holidays. It la he who makes night hideous and the
day as burdensome as the grasshoper with rockets and
cfnnon crackers and the varied contrivances of sordid'
Ingenuity.
When the wee, weary hours at last arrive and we
succeed in slipping away to alumberland we are quite
ready to toast "the good King Herod."
Bat the calmer hours bring charity and wisdom, and
we know In oar Inmost heart that we envy the exuber
ance of youth. We aay with the poet, that when our real
sympathy with the Joys and sorrows of boyhood have
run dry
"Time bath bat Uttia left him to destroy;
O happy years, once more who would not be a boy.”
Imagination carries us back to the woods and fields
Who said 'tls right that the negro ahould vote?
Pray, tell one reason why
He should take a hand in politics.
Is the ballot made cleaner thereby?
Can it with propriety be laid ,
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 citizenship
When extended to the black? Pray, tell
What refining Influence this privilege exerts.
Haa the tost In the past proved well?
To be honest and fair and acknowledge the truth—
His vote can never assist
In throwing off tho yoke of corruption and graft,
And forces of evil resist
Nor can it bo said that we need "darky’s" vote
In directing the affairs of the state.
We can never attain to a loftier plane,
But only contusion create,
So long ns wo rely upon tho purchasable vote
And permit tho corruptionists to reign.
For truly 'tls only a question of price—
A question of monetary gain.
Why close onr eyes to the truth and the right?
What excuse to remain longer blind?
For never can the negro's vote lend In the fight
To better the condition of his kind.
And neither can his vote ever strengthen the right.
Nor assist In opposing the wrong.
Hq Is merely a tool to be used In the fight;
Confusion he can only prolong.
Now would it not be more prudent and wise—
In keeping with Justice and love—
To exercise the right which divinely Is 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 hare wandered astray In forbidden paths;
Already we have gone too far.
Behold the destruction of the cities of old—
The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
But the question may be asked “What hath ft 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
Of the races (so called), and they say
That the question should be left for the future to solve
Should be left tor a future day.
But allow me to whisper a little word here—
If you search you will find ft Is true—
The ancients were deceived as we are Received,
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 puraued.
Actuated by the same deal re.
But a wave of reform o’erspreads the land, i'
The people are aroused and awake.
They are taking It upon them selves to demand
The correction of the franchise mistake.
And may the Ume be near at hand.
When Justice looms up o’er the land;
When virtue stands a beacon light.
Indorsing nothing but the right
May each one lend a helping hand.
And In the sternest tone demand.
That "Virtue now shall have Its sway;
Opposing forces, stand away."

New York, July 7.—That Ambassador
W hi telaw Retd is to become father-in-
law to a lord seems to bo pretty well
settled in the minds of those who
should know. There ts doubt however,
as to Just which title hla daughter,
Miss Jean, is to acquire. Somo days
ago It was reported, of course, on the
highest authority, that the lucky man
was Lord Brooke, son of tho earl of
Warwick and his beautiful countess,
once known as the "babbling Brooke"
because of her connection with the no
torious Tranby-Croft affair, and now
prominent as a socialist
Now comes the rumor, also “on the
highest authority,” that It Is not to bo
Lord Brooke at all, but Lord Acheson,
heir to the earldom of Gosford. Vis
count Acheson’s mother, tho countess
of Gosford, Is daughter of the duchess
of Devonshire, and a sister of tho dow
ager duchess of Hamilton.
Archibald Charles Montagu Brabazon
Acheson Is heir to the earldom of Gos
ford. Viscount Is a courtesy title. He
was born In 1877 and served aa a lieu
tenant In the Second Coldstream
Guards in the South African campaign
of 1899-1000-1901. He was twice aide-
de-camp and was wounded at the bat
tle of Modder River. In tho mean
time, tho Reids, emulating Bre’r Rab
bit, are “layln' low an' sayln" nothin’.”
Bad news comes of the health of
William Waldorf Astor from London.
One report has it:
■ "William Waldorf Astor Is today as
feeble as*a man of 80. dlls figure Is
humped; his step painful, uncertain
and faltering. He leans heavily .on a
stick as he walks. Sometimes a butler
assist him. His face Is pale and shows
plainly the lines of great suffering."
That only one university* girl In ev
ery six weds la the conclusion to be
drawn from statistics complied by Sec-
rsfhry Arthur E. Bestor, of the Alumni
Association of the University of Chi
cago. Hts book shows that, since 1898,
only 171 of the 1,0(0 girls who have
graduated from the university have
makrled.
The announcement that Davy John
son, race track plunger and gambler, is
broke again causes little excitement.
Davy Is either "broke” or “flush" all
tho time. There la.no middle ground
for him. Hla career would furnish a
first-rate text against the evils of
gambling and the Impossibility of a
non-professional being able to ao any
thing but lose hla money when he goes
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
fession" are happy because of the de
cision of a New York court that the
much discussed play Is all right frorp a
legal viewpoint. Mr. Shaw doclares: .
"I havo nothing to aay. except to
contrast my position In*America.* In
America,’every conceivable Insult and
outrage was heaped on me by the New
York press, which forced the police to
arrest Arnold Daly nnd.hls whole com-
pany: but America has also given my
remedy.
"My case has been heard, and my
play restored to tho stage with its mo
tives. My character and that of Mr.
Daly and his company have been pub
licly vindicated.”

It may be new to toms to learn that to

following wne written by him and read at
his ilster’a wedding:
An Moeen bin recorded,
And noon a bride was made.
Ten thousand times ten thousand
Of centnrlea swirmed around
Before t bride wne formed.
And yet no piste was found.
