THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE "Porteus, there Is a proverb thou shouldst read: ■When flatterers meet, the Devil goes to dinner.'" —Peter Pindar. An Unprejudiced Review. The Constitution and The Journal aeom to be in politics utterly hopeless and Irredeemable. The Constitution Tuesday morning has twenty-nine colnmns about Hr. Clark Howell and Mr. Hoke Smith In a comparatively unimportant and absolutely reaultless debate kt Albany. The Journal on Monday evening bad upon the mere preliminary report, elovon columns, and will doubtless have between fifteen and twenty tbla afternoon. So that the equilibrium of space will doubt less be squarely maintained between them. But think of the space: twenty-nine columns In one paper, eleven In another and twenty perhaps this after noon, will make an average of nearly alxty columns of reading matter about the two candldatea whose wrangles and quarrels have atlrred the state. And think of tbe conflicting statements. The Conatl- tutlon says Clark Howell "smashed” Hoke Smith- The Journal says Hoke Smith “crushed" Clark Howell. Both emashod. Both crushed. Both annihilated. And yet both continue to live and chirp. What widely conflicting statements! Are both right? Impossible. Are both false? How sorrowful In nowspapors of good repute. How can the public credit oltber of them any moro on subjects of Interest to themselves? Will the reader remember that tbla campaign Is nearly eleven months old? Will the reader also remem ber that this la thq fourth consecutive debate between these gentlemen, and that scarcely a new point has been developed tiom first to last out of the stormy wrangle of their passions and ambitions? And the wont of It Is that nobody except the parti san! of either paper gives anything moro than a mere casual credence to anything that appean 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 onmpalgn. The correspondent. Ur. Glass, whom we sent to Al bany yesterday haa been a resident of Georgia for only throo weeks He bns been long accustomed to mix with politics and public occasions In Tennessee on the Nnshvlllo and Memphis papers, and ho la truly and ab solutely Impartial bofween the relative claim* of Mr. Smith and Mr. Howell. The reports which ho tent and brings back from Albany wo firmly bellevo to be as fair, as Impartial and ns absolutely correct as It Is possible for an intelligent and honest man to mako the record of a public meeting. Our readers can peruse It with perfect confidence and can dorivo from It Just such Impression as n fair statement of tbe facts will make upon tholr minds. We give the report as the report of tho papor, which la confirmed by every Impartial description which wo have had from personal and disinterested sources returning to Atlanta. Tho results of the four debates have not been eat lsfactory, although both of the candidates bavo recently given more attention than usual to tbe discussion of great Issues of tho campaign. We feel that tho only way In whlcb such clashes or conviction can be of Interest to tbo voters would be to dlecuee thcee great quoetlone which nro vital to tbo pcoplo'a Intorost without paailon, without prejudice and without tbo miserable Interjection of personal abuse and vituperation on either side. At tbe campaign progresses Tbe Georgian will en deavor more and more to give tbe tacts as they are between theie two striking figure* of the campaign. No staff representative of this paper would color or misrepre sent tho facta In these political gatherings, and tbla la tbe best guarantee to the people of Georgia that the fairest, most accurato and most trustworthy reports which tbay will receive during the further pragmas ot this cam paign will be found In the columns of a free, fair and fearless newspaper. Meanwhile, let ni all thank heaven and the better angels ot tbe state that the campaign has only six more week* to run. that the novel will hn some Influence. At any rate the admirers ot Mr. Cbnrchlll have reached tho conclusion that he should run for tbo office of governor on the Lincoln Republican ticket and he has contented to do no. There le 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 and after his achievements as a statesman, M. Disraeli was a success ful novelist, while Lord Lytton was at least as highly esteemed In parliament as he was In tho boudoir where bis florid romances bold undisputed popularity for so many years. It la to him that England la Indebted for tho acquisition of Vancouver's Island and for many other atrokes of statesmanship. These ore but the first Illustrations that come to mind In this connection, and a moment's reflection will edally suggest dozens more. Churchill, at least, may reasonably expect to bo elected on tho reform ticket and there la no reason why be should not accomplish something worth while as chief exocntlve of tbe state ot New Hampshire. Tbe career of the scholar In politics will bo watched with Increasing Interest If ho should be elected. ery wide salo and mny exert of the council at that period. Captain Conley did yeoman [evil which It la aimed at. I will guarantee and defy any I service for East Point and I cheerfully accord him all so-called exchange to dispute It that not one-tenth ot the credit which 4s hla duo. But he did not write East ; their business is legitimate business. It Is the gambling Point’s first charter, that having been written by John feature of their business that they want to retain and Romancers As Statesmen. When Job tho patriarch expressed the pious wish that his enemy would write 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 the land of U«. But this Is a different land and time, and It now seems that as soon as a man makes a hit with a novel the noxt step Is for hit friends to gather around him and nominate him for some political position. Tho author of “The Jungle" has attalnad a world wide celebrity. He Is looked upon aa the logical antag onist of the octopus. Consequently he has been nomi nated for eongrees from New Jersey on the Socialist ticket and there are those who do not hesitate to urge him to enter the race for the presidency. It he were to attempt to carry oat hit reforms with in the ranks of the Democratic party there would be some likelihood ot hla success, for be has certainly set the civilised world to thinking, but the moment he an nounced himself as a Socialist he queered the game and neutralized hla power for good. It la very different with Winston Cbnrchlll. however. He lias been a member of the New Hampshire legisla ture for the past two year* and thus ha* had an oppor tunity of learning a great deal about practical politic*. It la a far cry from bis first novel,- "The Celebrity," to anything like a problem novel, but In "Conlaton" he le said to have utilised the Information gained In political life for tho purpose of drawing’an effective Indictment against railroad domination In the affairs of a state. Tbe Boston and Maine railroad la the particular of fender for which Hr. Chnrcblll baa been gunning, but It seems to be accepted that the abases complained of are rcculiar to New Hampshire, and the Indications ars seei Chairman Taggart Should Resign. It seems to be pretty well agreed that Hon. Thomas Taggart can beat serve hla party by resigning hla posi tion aa chairman of the Democratic executive jornmlttce. Tbe levity with whlcb be scouts the Ides finds no such echo In tbe minds ot the people ot the country In general. It Is an undisputed fact that tho French Lick Springs resort has bean a synonym of gambling for a long time and the place has been generally alluded to aa the Monte Carlo of America. Through the lnatru- mentality of tht attorney general and tbe governor of the state of Indiana a recent raid was made on the Cailoo and a large quantity ot gambling paraphernalia was captured. The Idea that Mr. Taggart did not know that gambling was being carried on la absurd In Its very face and no man who la clothed and In hla right mind will believe It for one moment The proprietor of the building—since he claims that he was nothing moro—might have mado almost any kind of defense and It would hnvo been more graceful and more plausible than to maintain that he was Igno rant ot tbe fact that gambling was going on there. Everybody knows that that was one of tbe mainstays ot the resort It la an Inault to the intelligence of the American people to aak them to believe In hie Igno rance. • There Is a general sentiment throughout tho coun try that Mr. Taggart should resign. He did not do hla party any good during the last campaign. Ho was held up to the world aa u gambler and a "sport" through out the campaign, and to this was added the fact that ho seemed much more Intent on bit own business than on the elecUon of the Democratic nominee. He was not much of a general In the pollUcal field. To leave him In tbe same position during another contest would be deplorable Indeed. In a few months there will be an election to chooae members of tho Sixtieth congress. This comes at a time when the whole country Is aroused on the subject of reform, A wave of social and political and commercial morality It sweeping over the country and the people nro de termined that this ethical awakening shall bear fruit Tbe Republican party la already In a position to reap the benefit of a great deal of this aentlmont notwith standing the fact that they have merely stolen Demo cratic thunder In putting Into execution the reforms which the Democrats have been demanding so long. At the same time It will do the party no good to bavo at the head ot tho executive commlttoo a man whoso Monte Carlo haa boen closed ns a gambling resort after enjoying an unsavory reputation for many years. Whatever may be tbo lino distinction drawn .as to the person responsible for the gambling at French Lick Springs, tbe one fact remains that If Mr. Taggnrt wants to serve hla party he can do It best by resigning-at once. The East Lake Improvements. The pooplo of Atlanta who have rocently been to East Lake can hnro little conception of the doop and lasting debt which they owe to the Atlanta Athletic Club. A tew months ago the club bought several hundred aorea ot this beautiful property and have expended upon It a generous sum of money, which is being constantly added to. and which will be constantly reinforced for the next four or five year*. The metamorphosis wrought by the taste, energy and liberality of the club has already given to this city the finest country and athletic reeort In alt tho South, and one which has tew superiora throughout the country. Heretofore our little slater of Birmingham has been accustomed to vaunt her superiority over Atlanta in tbl* line, but hereafter Atlanta, thanks to tho Athletic Club, hold* the preeminence In this line of development, and has bullded and Is now parfectlng an Institution which will be an ornament and n restful, helpful and healthful charm to all the people of this capital city of the South. With a lake for boating, which la beautiful and am- pi* tor every demand, with the finest golf course in all the South, and with the finest set ot tennis courts south of Chicago or New York, the athletic feature ot this club le built upon a foundation which offers'unlimited possi bilities for success and development In the future. , As tbe slow but steady proceta of beautifying goes on year after year, as the trees grow larger on the ave nue*, and the grass begins to grow green upon the lawns, while the dub houses are perfected In beauty and convenience, this country annex to the Athletic Club at East Lakt will make an ornament of which all Atlanta may be proud, and In which Atlanta may be happy. Few Institutions In recent years have had a more wholesome, more hesdthful and a happier Influence upon tho life and development of tbe yonng men of Atlanta than the Athletic Club, and the building ot this splendid addition at East Lake la the crowning achievement and glory of an Institution to which Atlanta Is 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 Tbe South- Fulton Enterprise of June 30. and which you epitomise In a re cent issue of your valuable paper, I say: "The embryo city must have a charter and Juat as that charter was written. In his own handwriting, by John F. Bible, It passed tbe Georgia legislature and a new municipality was born.” A correspondent disputes this, alleging that the charter was written by Captain Conley. Kindly allow me epace In which to set the gentleman right My state ment aa above la In every particular correct. Some three or tour years after tbe charter waa granted, it was proposed to aak the legislature for a new charter giving the young city greeter powers. This charter was written by CspUIn Conley, and superseded the charter under which East Point was established as a city. My informant la Ur. R. F. Thompson, who was a member F. Bible, now of Loma, Mich. A. A. ALLEN, South Fulton Enterprise, East Point, Ga. It Is the gambling feature which brings the revenue. As one expressed It In the Kimball bouse lobby a few nights ago. "they have the teat 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 1S8T In which it waa attempted to draw a distinction between so-called 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 th# Empire Stale of the South, I aak permission through the columns of your valuable __ paper to call attention to one of the most vital questions I legitimate and Illegitimate transactions and this law of Importance now before the people of this state, pre- wai ineffective.

Thanking you In advance for any prominence you may give this letter, or Its purpose, 1 am yours sincerely, B. W. TORRANCE. ^ “EXCHANGES” AND “BUCKET 8HOP8.” To the Editor ot The Georgian: I linvo read your two editorials In defense of local exchanges. Will you please explain to mo the difference between losing a thousand dollars ,1a a bucket shop and losing a thousand dollars on the so-called exchanges? 1)0 you deny that It la a fact that these ao-mllcd ex changes will allow any person regardless of hla occupa tion and regardless of hla purpose In buying to specu late through these exchanges provided that ho will put tin the margin? Do you or the aocalb-d cxchangcH con tend that because tho exchanges will not receive frac tional orders that It will lessen the gambling on futures becatiso a contract with an exchango 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 speculate and will do so In the name of one person? How can you prohibit bucket shops without prohibiting so called exchanges? If a bill should bo passed requiring that every corpora tion. firm nr Individual -imaging 111 the business of deal ing In futures should be required to have a certificate of membership on some legitimate exchange, who Is to detormlne which exchango Is legitimate and whlcb Is Il legitimate? Is there any prohibition against tbe form ing of other exchanges? Is It truo that tbe New Or leans exchango and tho New York exchange are the only exchanges that can exist? Tho bucket shops can easily get together and form an exchange upon the floors of which purchases nnd sales can bo mnfle under the same rules and regulations required upon the New.York and New Orleans exchanges. Such has been done already In the organization of the Consolidated Stock Exchange of Philadelphia, Metropolitan Stock Exchango of Boston. National Board ot Trade ot Kansas City, Mo.. National Cotton Exchange of MemphlB and Suporior Board of Trade, Superior, Win. If such a bill was framed aiming exclusively at so called bucket simps It would nut run out tbo bucket shops or the exchanges either. It would Just simply mean that all of them would run on nB they do now, because tho bucket shops can organize ex changes and havo membership on them tho same ns tho so-called legitimate exchanges now have membership. All ot this opposition Is not for the benefit of the farmors, tho business men and producers of this country, bnt this opposition Is being carried on by tho so-called exchanges and bucket shops, the purpoao of which Is to prevent any bill which Is drastic enough to prevent the Tbe only law which does and can exist. Is natural law, and like the laws of the Medes nnd Persians nev er changes. Natural law treats all mankind alike. It treats tho king and his slave alike. Upon no other grounds can the Democratic slogan of “Equal rights to all and spe cial privileges to none," exist. This Democratic slogan, unless It applies to both king and slave alike. Is not sincere. To apply to those alike it must abolish the name nnd the calling alike. All men eat, drink, wear clothes and dwell In houses In obedience to the natural law of self- preservation. The possession, then, ot these things Is after the law of natural right. To deprive mankind - of these things is to make the natural right to those things the property right of those who withhold them from their follows. This unnatural property right of the few In the nat ural right of all la the bono of contention between those who own this right In small degree, and those who owfi It In a larger measure. In other words, present political parties wlio are or have boor. It. power, are simply par ties of those who claim to own tbo natural right of all -4ion (o food, clothing and shelter. Thom- who are dim possessed of these natural rights are not parties to these political deals, or stockholders In those 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, and tbe printing or wording thereon stands for those who own tho natural rights of tho laborers or slaves. Tbo laborer Ib a slave, simply because ho worships the printing or stamping, which ho dncB not understand, Instead of the paper which he dues understand- The printing or stamping Is all there Is of capitalism, and the blank paper is all there Is of labor under the present functions of government One may prevent his fellow man from enjoying nat ural law, but they cannot thus destroy the natural law, nr deprive tho other of the natural right to the honetlt of natural law. This Democratic slogan of “equal rights to all" to be effectual or of use. should read “equal rights of all to the use of their natural rights." A man, a mule, the earth, tho air, the water, the seed and the sun 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 wheat belong, nnd by what right Is there any ownership? If man’s opinion can perpetually obstruct or stop the operation ot natur al right, can he not perpetually obstruct or stop the op eration of divine right? Which candidate for governor of Georgia standB for the natural rights of tho man and tho 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.

NEW YORK COMMERCIAL COMMENTS EDITORIALLY ON TORREY-ALEXANDER Under the caption, "An Age of Cant,' The New York Commercial hae the fol lowing editorial comment on tbe Tor- rey and Alexander system o' revivals: We are living in a striking age from whatever aspect considered—an age of decadent creeds and changing stand ards. Th* historian of the futqre, In summing up th* salient choracterietlcs of the present Inhabitant* of the United State*, will no doubt claeelfy them as the most restlessly progressive people, the greatest road, city and empire builders that this world has known, and an essentially practical race. On the other hand, th* amazing facility with which so Intelligent a people sub mits to being exploited by any religious fakir or thaumaturgtet that Just hap pens along will not escape -crltlclem froth the Greenes or Gibbon* ot future ages. It was refreshing to'flnd the eateemed Public Ledger not tong ago rejoicing, apparently, In certain strange discover ies and tidings of gnat Joy that had been brought to tho good people ot Philadelphia by a Doctor Torray and a Mr. Alexander, Itinerant "evangelists" or "missionaries," or "revivalists." For, while Philadelphia may poeslbly lack some of the briskness of New York and other large cities, yet aurely the marvel! alleged to have occurred under Tiberius Caesar should have reached that fair city by this time. They ware stale news even when Constantine, led by his Empress Helena, promulgated an official religion for the Weetem Roman empire, only sixteen centuries ago,-and since that time these wonders have certainly been exhaustively die- cussed In all their possible bearings on human society as well as th* proved Interpolations In the few passages of contemporary writers which refer to them. Yet, notwtthetandlng the deduc tions (so contemptuous for certain forme ot primitive beliefs) arrived at by masters of th* human Intellect— such men a* John Stuart Mill, Spencer, Darwin, Huxley—at the present mo ment, to our discredit be It said among English-speaking races, the profession of "Howling Dervish" for which Ignor ance le a good qualification, Is one of the most Immediately profitable that even a get-rlch-qulck schemer can turn his attention to. The good news that Philadelphia was 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 has presented Itself In Prance. And what may not have been lost 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 rear or more In a rough-and-tumble fight with ’ - was a precious opportunity for our re vivalists, either as umpires or, better still, participants in the fray. In the abeonco ot any such champions "tho church" over there haa been worsted, and the principal French newspapers, with few exceptions, are congratulating the government upon Its victory. In our own land wo appear alow In realizing that cant and superstition are the deadliest enemies of human progress. Has education not sufficient ly advanced among us to render Holy Ohoeten, Dowlelam, spook worship and other such religious masquerades Im possible? What renders such beliefs possible In the first Instance? There lies the crux of the problem. Thirty years ago, when France, still trembling after her tremendous defeat by Ger many, waa being reorganized by such pure patriots aa Gambetta and M. Thlera, Paul Bert, then minister of S ubtle Instruction, addressed the chant er of deputies to th* following effect: "It Is not our domestic discords. It Is not England, nor even the trained Ger man legions that constitute the great est menace to Frenchmen and the prosperity of France, still blooding from her wounds, but the man In black.'" Hie memorable words have borne fruit. But as to the vultures who, under a clerical garb and under all kinds of denominations, are allowed to fmpose on the credulity of the British or American public without restraint, such as these were not tolerated In France. Germany or Swltasrland at any period, but were amenable to tbe law as rogues or Impostors. The French minister was referring only to the orthodox regular French clergy, good enough for the feudal age* of Europe, but now deemed mischievous reactionary and a breeder of debasing superstitions. Ie there no lesson that our cultivated and more thoughtful class of cltlxens can derive from this great French na tional movement? For euch It U. Are the "shepherds" and “tub-thumpers," the types eo well portrayed by Charles Dickens, forever to be encouraged and go unrebuked by the press of this coun try? We must decline to believe that Philadelphia was asleep end needed awakening by Doctor Torrey and Mr. Alexander. The Reverend Doctor Cass, chairman of the "mission," announced that the total expense ot “the revival" reached *40,000. The profits were not stated. In this kind ot business they never are, nor their dlepoeal. On a rough calculation It cost about IK a head to convert a Philadelphian. In Atlanta, the next "stand" for the two worthier It no doubt cost much more. now DID HE KNOW. — ttft GullberL tress, at A dinner L... . -rompllmentod rather awkwardly, relate* tho Now iorlt Tribune.

To the Editor of The Georgian: I was glad when The Georgian was launched, and, commencing with th* first number, I am a subscriber as long as It Is run by such a man as John Temple Graves. It Is a splendid paper and Just such a dally as every true Oeorgtan should and will be proud of. It haa but one possible fault, and that Is the restrictive word "Atlanta" to Its name. Leave off the word "Atlanta 1 and let "Th* Georgian" he th* name. W* people down here In Carroll formed a large Hoke Bmltb Club on the first Tuesday. It will soon have a ma jority of the whit* voters of the coun ty belonging to It, as nearly all the vot ers of this county are Smith men. We are very proud of Hon. Hoke Smith and Intend to elect him in spite of th* many low down effort* being mad* to Injur* him. The lowest w* have seen I* the picture of the negroes appoint ed by th* Cleveland administration, *tnt uut by th* Clark Howell crowd to Injure Smith. That Is enough to dis gust every Democrat who voted for Cleveland. It come* with very bad grace from Mr. Howell now, who failed to oppose th* appointments. In his great paper at the time; but seemed then, ir not to approve, ax least not to openly, like a man, oppose the appointment*. Howell now blatantly says he "would die rather than Injure the Democratic party." and yet he Is little enough to throw this Insult at every white man who voted for the only Democratic president whom w* have had lines th* war. This picture haa turned a lbw that would have been for Howell against him. Much success to The Georgian, and long may it flourish. _ . J- W. BALLARD. Carrollton, Go., July 7, 190*. By Private Leased Wire. New York, July 10.—Thomas r. Ryan, traction magnate, banker and political manipulator, Is agpln a grand father. The financier Is abroad, but when a third son was born to hla son, William K. Ryan, at the homestead. Oak Ridge, Va., the raoles got busy and the news was sent to grandpa. Mr Ryan recently lamented that none of his grandchildren had been born at the old homestead, and Ills son thereupon moved with his family to Oak Ridge. Clarence Eddy, the distinguished American organist, who enjoys Inter national reputation, and Mrs. Grace Mori Dlcknmn, a noted concert singer were married nt noon today at the Msnhasset apartments. Last year, when Mr. Eddy mad* a concert tour of this country, Mrs. Dick- man was hi* concert soloist. At this time a suit for divorce waa pending against Mr. Eddy nnd on May 10 of thle year the conditional divorce was grant ed and Mr. Eddy nnd Mrs. Dlckmts fixed the time of their marriage. Only their most Intimate friends were noti fied. Mrs. Dlckman obtained a divorce from her husband some time ago. Bh* was born In California and sang In Dr. McKenzie's church there. The fact that Thomas A. Edison, sea of the famous electrician, has taken to himself another wife has just become known. Bhe was .Miss Beatrice ai. Payser, and they were married Sat urday In Trenton. While the wedding was very quiet. It waa not a runaway match. A certain section of New Tork’a "400" are discussing today with considerable Interest the election of Cornelius Van derbilt as a member of tho 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 Owynno Vanderbilt as to which was the head of the house. Both Cornelius and Alfred Gwynne, It ap- penrs, made application for member ship to th* society at about the same time. Cornelius declared he was eligi ble on the ground that he was the eld est son of his great-grandfather, who woe an officer In the revolutionary army. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt based hie application on the ground that he was descended In a direct line from his mother's great-grandfather, who was an officer at Charleston, S. C., at the outbreak ot the revolution. It Is a hard and fast rule In th* Society of the Cincinnati that the law of primo geniture hold In regard to eligibility. But, as nnco before In the dispute of the two brothers as to which was tht head of the house of Vanderbilt, Cor nelius won. The first contest occurred when Cornelius was practically disin herited by his father because he mar- rii-,1 i;niwile' n. Hut then be forced his borther and other members ot th* family to give him part of th* share of the Vanderbilt estate left to them, so that In tho end he had almost as much as any of them. Alfred Gwynne Vaiidol-Mlt had hi i'll declared it of the Vanderbilt house before the let ter died.
