GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE “Porteut, there It a proverb thou ahouldat read: ‘When flattercra meat, tha Otvll gote to dinner.’" —Peter Pindar. An Unprejudiced Review. The Constitution and Tha Journal teem to be In politics utterly hopeless and Irredeemable. The Constitution Tuesday morning has twenty-nine columns about Mr. Clark Howell and Mr. Hobo Smith In a comparatively unimportant and sbsolntoly resultlets debate at Albany. The Journal on Monday evening bad upon the mere preliminary report, eleven columni, and will doubtless have between fifteen and twenty this afternoon. So that the equilibrium of space will dqubt- less be squarely maintained between them. But think of the apace: twenty-nine columns In one paper, eleven In another and twenty perhaps this after noon. wiii make an average of nearly sixty columns of rending matter about the two candidate* wbosq wrangles and quarrels have sUrred the state. And think of the conflicting statements. The Copetl- tutlon says Clark Howell “smashed" Hoke Smith. The Journal says Hoke Smith “crushed'' Clark Uowoll. Both smashed. Both crushed. Both annihilated. And yet both continue to live and chirp. Whet widely conflleUog statement*! Are both right? Impossible. Are both false? How torrowful In newspapers of good ropute. How can the public credit either of them any more on subjects of Interest to themselves? Will the reader remember that this campaign Is nearly cloven months old? WIU the reader also remem ber that this Is tbe fourth ronsecutlvo debate betwoen these gentlemen, and that scarcely a new point has been developed from first to last out of tbe stormy wrangle of their passions and ambitions? And tho worst of It Is that nobody except the parti sans of either paper gives anything more than a mero casual credence to anything that appeara In either organ upon the great question of who Is going to be gov ernor of Georgia and what principles are going to tri umph in tho gubernatorial campaign. The correspondent, Mr. Glass, whom we sent to Al bany yesterday has been a resident of Georgia for only threo weeks. He has been long accustomed to mix with politics and public occasions In .Tennessee on tho Nnshvllle and Memphis papors, and ho Is truly and ab solutely Impartial betweon the relative claims of Mr. Smith and Mr. Howell. Tho reports which ho sont and brings back from Albany wo firmly bellovo to be as fair, as Impartial and os absolutely correct as It Is possible for nn Intelligent end honest man to make the record of a public meeting. Our readers can peruse It with perfect confidence and can derive from It Just such Impression ns a fair statement of the facts will make upon their minds. We give the report as tbe report of tbo paper, which Is confirmed by every Impartial description which wo hevo had from personal and disinterested sources returning to Atlanta- The results of the four debates have not been sat isfactory, although both of tbe candidates havo recently given more attention than usual to tbe discussion of great Issues of the campaign. We foel that the only way In which such clashes of conviction can be of Interest to tho voters would be to discuss these groat questions which are vital to tbe people'* tntoraet without passion, without prejudice and without the miserable Interjection of personal abuse and vituperation on either aide. As the campaign progresae* The Georgian will en deavor more and more to give the facta as they are between theae two striking figures of tho campaign. No staff representative of this paper would color or misrepre sent the facts In these political gatherings, and this Is the beat guarantee to the people of Georgia that the fairest, most accurate and moat trustworthy reports which they will receive during the further progress of this cam paign will be found In the columns of a free, fair and fearless newspaper. Meanwhile, let us all thank heaven and the better angels of the state that the campaign has only etx more weeks to run. reached the conclusion that ho should run for tho ol of governor on tho Lincoln Republlrsn ticket and he has consented to do to. There Is nothing new In this tendency of literary men to enter political life and to make a distinguishing mark In that lino of work. Both before end after his achievements ns a statesman. M. Disraeli was a success ful novelist, while Lord I.ytton was at least as highly esteemed In parliament as he was In the boudoir where his florid romsnees held undisputed popularity for so many years. It Is to him that England Is'Indebted for the acquisition of Vancouver's Island and for many other stroke* of statesmanship. These are but the first Illustrations that come to mind In this connection, and a moment's reflection will easily suggest dozens more. Churchill, at least, may reasonably expect to be elected on tbe reform ticket and there Is no reason why bs should not accomplish something worth while a* chief executive of tho etate of New Hampshire. | The career of the scholar In politics will bo watched with Increasing intsreat If ba should be elected. Romancers As Statesmen. When Job the patriarch expressed the pious wish that his enemy would writ* a book he did not contem plate that this would be the surest road to political ad vancement and renown, for they did not manage things so well in tha land of Us. But this Is a different land and time, and It now seems that as soon as a man makes a bit with a novel the next step Is for his friends to gather around him and nominate him for some political position. Tbe author of “The Jungle" has attained a world wide celebrity. He la looked upon as the logical antag onist of the octopus. Consequently he has bean nomi nated for congress from New Jersey on the Socialist ticket and there are those who do not hesitate to urge bint to enter the race lor the presidency. If he were to attempt to carry out bla reforms with in tbe ranks of the Democratic party there would be t-ome likelihood of bla success, for he he* certainly set the civilized world to thinking, but the moment he an nounced himself as a Socialist he queered the gam* end neutralized his power for good. , It Is very different with Winston Churchill, however. He has been a member of the New Hampshire legisla ture for the past two years and thus has had an oppor tunity of learning a great deal about practical politics. It Is a far cry from hla first novel, “The Celebrity," to anything like a problem novel, but In "Conliton” he Is said to have utilised tbe Information gained In political life (or the pnrpoee of drawing-an effective Indictment agalnat railroad domination In the affaire of a state. The Boston and Maine railroad la the particular of fender for which Mr. Churchill haa been gunning, but It aeemt to be accepted that tha abases complained of are not peculiar to New Hampshire, and the Indications are Chairman Taggart Should Resign. It seems to be pretty well agreed that Hon. Thomas Taggart can best serve his party by resigning his posi tion as chairman of the Democratic executive committee. The levity with which he scouts tha Idea finds no such echo In the mind* of tho people of the country in general. It Is an undisputed fact that the French Lick Springs resort has boon a synonym of gambling for a long time and the place has been generally alluded to as the Monte Carlo of America. Through tho Instru mentality of tho attorney general and tbo governor of the state of Indiana a recent raid was made on tbe Casino and a large qu&nUty of gambling paraphernalia wai captured- The Idea that Mr. Taggart did not know that gambling was bring carried on Is sbsttrd In !•■ very face and no man who It clothed and In hie right mind will believe It for ono moment Tho proprietor of tbe building—since he claims that he xya» nothing more—might hare mado almost any kind of Qefonso and It would havo been more graceful and more plauslblo than to maintain thnt he was Igno rant of the fact that gambling was going on there. Everybody knows that that was on* of the mainstays of the resort It Is an Insult to the Intelligence of the American people to ask them to boilers |n his Igno rance. There Is n general sentiment throughout the coun try that Mr. Taggart should resign. Ha did not do his party any good during the lost campaign. He wsb held up to the world ss u gambler and a "sport" through out tbo campaign, and to this was added the fact that ho seemed much more Intent on hts own business than on the eleoUon of the Democrat!? nominee. Ho was not much of a general In tha political field. To leave him In the tame position during another contest would be deplorable Indeed. In a few months there wilt be an election to choose members of the Sixtieth congreee. This comes at n time whon the whole country Is aroused on tbo subject of reform. A wave of social and political and commercial morality Is sweeping over the country and tbe pooplo are de termined .that this ethical awakenlDg shall bear fruit The Republican party le already In a position to reap tho benofit of a great deal of this sentlmant, notwith standing the fact that they have merely stolen Demo cratic tbundor la putting Into execution tho reforms which the Democrats have beea demanding so long. At the samo time It will do tbo party no good to have at tho head of tho executive committee a man whoso Monte Carlo has boon closed as a gambling resort after enjoying an unsavory reputation for many years. Whatever may be tbo fine distinction drawn as to tbe person responsible for tbe gambling at Freoch Lick Springs, tbe one fact remains that If Mr. Taggart wants to servo hla party he can do It best by resigning at once. The East Lake Improvements. Tho people of Atlanta who bavo recently been to East Leko can have little conception of the deop and lasting debt which they owe to the Atlanta Athletic Club. A tew months ago the club bought several hundred acres of this beautiful property and have oxpondad upon It a generous sum of money, which Is bring constantly addod to. and which will bo constantly reinforced for tho next four or five yeprs. The metamorphosis wrought by the teste, energy and liberality of the club has already- given to this city tho finest country and athletic resort In oil tho South, and one which has few superiors throughout the country. Heretofore our little sister of Birmingham has been accustomed to vaunt her superiority over Atlanta In this line, but hereafter Atlanta, thanka to the Athletic Club, holda the pre-emtnonce In this line of development, and bae bullded and la now perfecting an Institution which will be an ornament and a restful, helpful and healthful charm to all the people of this capital city of the South With a lake for hosting, which le beautiful and am ple for every demand, with the finest golf course In atl the South, and with the finest set of tennis courts south of Chicago or New York, the athletic feature of this club Is built upon a foundation which offers unlimited possi bilities for success and development In the future. Ae the slow but steady process of beautifying goes on year after year, as the trees grow larger on the av» nues, and the gras* begins to grow green upon the lawns, while the club house* are perfected In beauty and convenience, this country annex to the Athletic Club at Eaet Lake will make an ornament ot which ell Atlanta may be proud, and In which Atlanta may be happy. Few Institution* In recent years have had a more wholesome, more healthful and a happier Influence upon the life and development of the young men of Atlanta than the Athletic Club, and the building ot this splendid addition at East Lake Is the crowning achievement and glory of an Institution to which Atlanta le already deeply and happily In debt. THE FIRST CHARTER OF EAST POINT. To the Editor of The Georgian: In my story of John F. Bible, In The South Fulton Enterprise of June JO, and which you epitomise in a re cent Issue of your valuable paper, I say: "The embryo city must have a charter and Just as that charter was written. In his own handwriting, by John F. Bible, U passed the Georgia legislature and a new municipality was born.” A correspondent disputes this, alleging that the charter was written by Captain Conley. Kindly allow me space In which to set the gentleman right. My state ment as above Is In every particular correct. Some three or four years after the charter waa granted. It was proposed to ask the legislature tor a new charter giving the young city greater powers. This charter was written by Captain Conley, and superseded the charter under which East Point was established as a city- My Informant Is Mr. R. F. Thompson, who waa a member GEORGIA'S INSURANCE BILL. To the Editor of The Georgian: Knowing the ability and the willingness with which you always rally to the cause and Interest of the people, and especially to that of the Emplror State of the South, I ask permission through the columns of your valuable paper to call attention to one of the most vital questions of Importance now before the people of this state, pre sented to them through the legislative body as represen tatives of the whole state. Not only does this question affect the present generation, but future ones. I refer to the bill ss Introduced by Senator Foy, of It Is the gambling nt to retain and it Is the gambling feature which brings the revenue. As ono oiprewod It In the Kimball house lobby a nlghta ago, "they hare the toat and they are going to hold It until the milk goes dry.** The purpose of our bill la to choke them off the teat and to stop the milk from running. No one can dispute that the gambling Is Immoral, Illegal and contrary to public policy and should be sup pressed. North Carolina tried a law In 1S87 In which it was attempted to draw a distinction between so-called legitimate and Illegitimate transactions and this law waa Ineffective. In 1904 the legislature of North Caro lina enacted a law which has prohibited future specula tion In that state. The substitute bill now pending be fore the legislature, Indorsed by the Credit Men's As sociation of this state, the Chamber of Commerce and Screven county, which bill seeks to regulate the business other trade organisations Is almost a re-draft of the ('! life insurance done In the state of Georgia, whether , xorth Carolina law. I have letters from prominent such business Is done by a company organized In Geor- persons In North Carolina where this law Is In force gla or some other state. and they all state that the law has had a good effect and This bill as Introduced.

Insurance upon a legitimate basis, and having legltl-J NATURAL RIGHTO, mate l!fe Insumnc. to riTer. , ! To the Editor of Tho Georgian: Georgia have been the victims of It Is a popular saying that man has no "natural many fake life Insurance companies of both home righu .- Thu u not t0 gay that he never has had any. and foreign birth The legislature now In session could but thu , ut ement Is used to convey tho idea that not pass a law which would prove or wore benefit to all | man’s natural rights Is an Invention of his Imagination. “EXCHANGES” AND “BUCKET SHOPS.” To tho Editor of The Georgian: I havo read your two editorials In defense of local exchHUges. Will you please explain to me I lie difference between losing a thousand dollars In a bucket ohop and .losing a thousand dollara on the so-called exchanges? Do you deny that It Ib a fact that these so-called ex changes will allow any person regardless of his occupa tion iind regardless of IiIh purpose In buying to specu late through theao exchanges provided that he will put ill) the margin? Do you or the no-called exchanges con tend that because tho exchanges will not recelvo frac tional orders that It will lessen the gambling on futures because a contract with an exchanga requires more mon ey than Is required In a bucket shop? Don't you know that this can be evaded by pooling arrangements be tween several parties who desire to Hpeciilnte and will do so In the name of one person? How can you probibit bucket shops without prohibiting so culled exchanges? If a bill should be passed requiring that every corpora tion, firm or individual engaging In tho business of deal ing In futures should bo required to have a certificate of membership on some legitimate exchange, who Is to determine which exchange Is legitimate am! which Is Il legitimate? Ib there any prohibition ngnltiBt the form ing of other exchanges? Is It truo that the New Or leans exchange and the New York exchange are the only oxchangeB that can exist? The bucket shops can easily get together and form an exchange upon the floors of which purchases and sales can ho made under tho samo rules and regulations required upon the New York and Now Orleans exchanges. Such has been done already in the organization of tho Consolidated Stock Exchange of Philadelphia. Metropolitan Stock Exchange of Boston, National Board of Trade of Kansas City. Mo., National Cotton Exchange of Memphis and Superior Board of Trade. Superior, WIs. If such a bill was framed nlmlng exclusively at so-called bucket shops It would not run out the bucket shops or the exchanges either. It would Just simply mean that all of them would run on ns they do now, because the bucket shops can organize ex changes and havo membership on them tho same as the so-called legitimate exchanges now have membership. All ot this opposition la not for tbe benefit or the farmers, tbo business men and producers of thla country, hut this opposition Is being carried on by tho so-called exchanges and bucket shops, the purpose ot Which Is to prevent any bill which is drastic enough to prevent the tbe people of Georgia than to pass the bill as Introduced by Senator Foy. I am sorry to say, but the state of Georgia has not kept pace with other states 1n the protec tion of her citizens by having and enforcing strict life Insurance laws; In my opinion there should be created separate state life Insurance department, presided over by a state official whose duty would be to recom mend proper Insurance laws, see that same were en forced, and that no life Insurance company be allowed to do business In Georgia except that company organised and operated upon honest and scientific life Insurance principles. I do not make the suggestion of creating tbe life Insurance department with any political Interest In view. I have chosen life Insurance (the sale of It) as my pro fession. I have not now, nr ever did havo any political aspirations, neither have I any friend In view to recom mend to fill the position as suggested to he created. Thanking yen in advance far nn; prominence you may give this letter, or Its purpose, I am yours sincerely, B. W. TORRANCE. . This Idea Is advanced to uphold prosent social and economical conditions. If this Is true, and It doubtless Is, then present so cial and Industrial conditions are not natural or are op posed to nature. The only law which does and can exist. Is natural law, and like the laws of tho Modes ami Persians n-v er changes. Natural law treats all mankind alike. It treats the king and hts slave alike. Upon no other grounds can the Democratic slogan of "Equal rights to all and apo dal privileges to none," exist. This Democratic slognn, unless It applies to both king and slave alike, la not sincere. To apply to those alike It must abolish tho name and tho calling alike. All men ent, tlrlnk, wear clothes and dwell In houses In obedience to tbs natural law of self preservation. The possession, then, of these things la after the iaw of natural right. To deprive mankind of these things Is to make the natural right to these things the property right of those who withhold them from their fellows. This unnatural property right of the few In the nat ural right of all Is the bone' ot contention betweeu those who own this right In small degree, and those who own It In a larger measure. In other words, present political parties who are or have. beer. In power, are simply par ties of those who claim to own tbe natural right of alt men to food, clothing and shelter. Those wlm are dis possessed of these natural rights urn not parties to these political deals, or stockholders In these political parties any more than the paper upon which Is printed the gov ernment function of money. Is money. The paper stands for tho laborer or slave, nud the printing or wording thereon stands for those who own the natural rights ot the laborers or slaves. Tbe laborer Is a slave, simply because he worships tbe printing or stamping, which ho does not understand. Instead of the paper which he does understand- The printing or stamping Is all thero Is ot capitalism, and the blank paper Is all there Is of labor under the present functions of government. One may prevent his fellow roan from enjoying nat ural law, but they cannot thus destroy the natural law, or deprive the other of the natural right to the I- . natural law. This Democratic slogan of “equal rights to all" to be effectual or of use, should read “equal rights of all to tha use of their natural rights." A man, a mule, the earth, tho air, the water, the seed and the mm make a crop of wheat Is this crop after natural law or human opinion? Or after natural right or human edict? To whom does this whent belong, and by what right Is there any ownership? If man’s opinion can perpetually obstruct or stop the operation of natur al right can ho not perpetually obstruct or stop the op eration of divine right? Which candidate for governor of Georgia stands for the natural rights ot tho man and the mule In making the crop of wheat? Feudalism was abolished, chattel slavery was abolished, why not wage slavery? Is not John D. Rockefeller sound In denying the natural right of any but his own? W. A. JOHNSON. July 6. 1906.

"An Ags of Cant," The New York Commercial has the fol lowing odltorlal comment on the Tor- rey and Alexander system of revlvole: We or* tiring fa a striking age from whatever napri 1 cm-iblered tin age .if decadent creeds and changing stand- aids Th- historian of the fuliitc, In summing up tha snllent characteristics of tho present Inhabitants of the United States, will no doubt classify them as the moat restlessly progic-t.iv,- pi- tbe greatest road, etty and empire builders that this world has known, and an essentially practical race. On the other hand, th* amazing facility with which so Intelllgont a pooplo sub mits to being exploited by any religious fakir or thaumsturgltt that Just hap pens along will not escape criticism from the Orsents or Gibbons of future ogee. It was refreshing to And the esteemed Public Ledger not long ago rejoicing, apparently, In certain strange discover ies and tidings ot gnat Joy that hod been brought to the good people of Philadelphia by a Doctor Torrey and a Mr. Alexander, Itinerant "evangelists" or "missionaries,” or "revivalists." For, while Philadelphia may possibly lack some of the briskness of New York and other large dries, yet surely the marvels alleged to har* occurred under Tlberiue Caesar should have reached that fair dty by this rime. They were etale news even when Constantine, led by Ms Empress Helena, promulgated an official religion tor the Western Roman empire, only sixteen centuries ago, and since that rime these wonders have certainly been exhaustively dis cussed In all thetr possible bearings on human society as well as the proved Interpolations In the few passages of contemporary writers which refer to them. Yet, notwithstanding the deduc tions (so contemptuous for certain forms of primitive beliefs) arrived at by masters of tha human Intellect— such men os John Stuart Mill, Spencer, Darwin, Huxley—at the present mo ment, to onr discredit be It sold among English-speaking races, the .profeselon of "Howling Dervish" for which Ignor ance le a good qualification, le one of the most Immediately profitable that even a get-rich-quick schemer can turn his attention to. * The good news that Philadelphia wag asleep and needed reviving reached the ears of Doctor Torrey and those of the similarly Inspired Mr. Alexander at an opportune moment, and they very laud ably hastened to Introduce salvation to the city of brotherly love. A much wider field of effort hoe presented Itself In France. And what may not have been tost to the French population by tbe absence of these reverend gentle men at this precise Juncture? The government and legislators of that country have been engaged for a year or more In a rough-and-tumble fight with "the church" was a precious opportunity for our re vivalists, either as umpires or. better stllL participants In tha fray. In tha nhai-ncr c,f tiny nu ll rham|ilnns "Un church" over there has been worsted, and the principal French newspapers, with few exceptions, nro congratulating t!u- K -v.-rnnu-nt opoa Ita Vjctsry. In our own land we appear alow Ini realising that cant end superstition are tbe deadliest enemies of human progress. Has education not sufficient! ly advanced among ue to render Horn Ohosters, Dowletsm, spook worship and other such religious masquerades Im possible? What renders such beliefs possible In the first Instance? There lies the crux ot the problem. Thirty yeare ago, when France, still trembling after her tremendous defeat by Ger many, was being reorganized by such pure patriots as Qambetta and M. [Thiers. Paul Bart, then minister of K Mbllc Instruction, sddresssd tbe chain- ■ r of deputies to the following effect: "It le not our domestic discords. It Is not England, nor even the trained Ger man legions that constitute the great- lest menace to Frenchmen and the prosperity of France, still bleeding from [her wounds, bus the man In black.*" IHIs memorable words have borne fruit But aa to tha vultures who, under a clerical gnrb and under all kinds of denominations, are allowed to Impose on the credulity of the British or American public without restraint such ss these were not tolerated In France, Germany or Bwltterland at any period, but were amenable to tha law as rogues or Impostors. The French minister waa |referring only to the orthodox regular French clergy, good enough for the feudal ages of Europe, but now deemed I mischievous, reactionary and a breeder of debasing superstitions. Ie there no lesson that odr cultivated and more thoughtful class of citizens can derive from this great French na tional movenffnt? For such tt Is. Are the “shepherds" and "tub-thumpers," the types ao well portrayed by Charles I Dickens, forever to ba encolirsged and go unrebuked by the press of this coun try? We must decline to believe that Philadelphia waa asleep and needed awakening by Doctor Torrey and Mr. Alexander. The Reverend Doctor Case, chairman of the “mission." announced that the total expense of "the revival" reached 140,000. Th# profits were nbt stated. In this kind of business they Inever are, nor their disposal. On a rough calculation tt cost about 86 a head to convert a Philadelphian. In Atlanta, the next "stand" for the two worthies. It no doubt cost much more. Warm Contsst For Mayer. Special to the Georgian.

To the Editor of The Georgian: I was glad whsn The Georgian waa launched, and, commencing with the first number, I am a subscriber aa long aa It le run by such a man as John Tsmple Graves. It Is a splendid paper and Just such a dally as every true Georgian should and will be proud of. It haa but one possible fault, and that la tha restrictive word "Atlanta” to lta Leave off the word "Atlanta" and 1st "Tha Georgian" be the name. We people down here In Carroll formed a large Hoke Bmlth Club on tbe first Tuesday. It will soon have a ma jority of the white voters of tht coun ty belonging to It, as nearly all the vot- ere of this county are Smith men. We are very proud of Hon. Hoke Smith and Intend to elect him In spite of the many low down efforts being made to Injure him. The lowest we have seen le the picture of the negroes appoint ed by the Cleveland administration, sent out by tbe Clark Howell crowd to injure Smith. That Is enough to die- guat every Democrat who voted for Cleveland. It comes with very bad grace from Mr. Howell now, who failed to oppose the appointments, in his great paper at the rime; but seemed then, if not to approve, at least not to openly, like a man, oppose tbe appointments. Howell now blatantly soya he "wmild die rather than Injure the Democratic party.” and yet he It little enough to throw this Insult at every white man who voted for the only Democratic president whom we have had since the war. Thla picture has turned a few that would have been for Howell against him. Much success to The Georgian, and — maw I, Sa..—1.1. 1 By Private Leaicd Wire. New York. July 10.—'Thomas F.

A certain section of New York's "400" are discuening today With Cuiivlucruuls Interest the election of Cornelius Van derbilt as a member of the Society of the Cincinnati, the organization that dates back to the revolution—for be hind the election of Cornelius Vander bilt was another contest between him and Alfred dtvynno Vanderbilt ax t . which was the head of the house. Both Cornelius and Alfred Gwynne, It xp- peorx, made application for member ship to the society at about the same time. Cornelius declared ho was eligi ble on the ground that he waa the eld est son of his great-grandfather, who was an officer In the revolutionary army. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt based hie application on the ground that he wee descended in n direct line from hie mother’s great-grandfather, who wee an officer at Charleston, S.

The first contest occurred when Cornelius was practically disin herited by hts father because be mar ried Grace Wilson.
