THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE Envy, to which th’ Ignoble mind's a slave Is emulation In the learned or brave. —POPE.' Welcome, Mr. Jerome. The presence In Atlanta oI William Travers Jerome, district attorney of New York county, together with two of his assistants, Francis P. GarVAn and Almuth C. Vend! ver. Is an event of more than passing Interest and Impor tance. Among all the champions of rstorm no one stands out more conspicuously In the public view than Mr. Jerome. The energy end fearlessness with which he hae gone out after otfeoderi against the law and has pursued crime In high places have challenged the admiration of the whole country. Long ago he won the reputation of being a man who "would not flatter Neptune for hla tri dent nor Jupiter for the power to thunder." Ills personal and political courage have become proverbial and are well Illustrated whenever the occailon demands. Mr. Jerome is yet a young man. He la only In hla forty-seventh year. But r be has been a bard student and a hard worker. Through the Influence of hla father he secured an appointment In the district attorney's ofllco under John R. Fellows, one of the ablest officials who ever occupied that responsible position, and events have shown that he profited to the fullest extent by hla tute lage. After a term of service In this position he wae se lected as a Justice of special sessions, discharging the duties of that office for aeven years. In 1901 he was chosen to the position of district at torney, and laat year was re-elected by an overwhelming majority. This last contest was one of the most strenu ous and dramatic In the history of New York politics. He refused to be tied up by pledges to Democrats or Repub lican:! and made hla race aa an Independent, with no other platform than hla own past achievements- It was a whirlwind campaign. Mr. Jerome Is a graph ic and forceful speaker, and he did not hesitate to hurl defiance at hla critics In unmistakable terms. It waa on tho strength of hta own vigorous personality and his reputation for Incorruptible Integrity that he won one of the most notable victories In the history of the city. To those who could only reason according to the logic of machine politics, hla election was something of a surprise, and yet those who knew the man and hla methods—bis honeity, sincerity and energy—the result wns very much what they had anticipated. Mr. Jerome cornea South to address the Bar Associa tion of the state of Georgia, which hat postponed the date of Its meeting ten days In order to suit hie convenience. That ho la one of the busiest men In the state of New York goes without laying. Just at this time he and his assistants aro busy with the case of Harry Thaw, who will soon be brought to trial for the murder of Stanford White. The Bar Association and the people of .Georgia aro therefore fortunate In being able to secure hla at tendance and that of his able assistants, at this juncture. Ills address at Warm Spring* will be one of the moet notable In the history of the organisation. No man of so positive and Independent a character as Mr. Jeromo could fall to make many and bitter enemies. Ho la criticised for not proeecutlng the men who are al leged to hnvo been guilty of malfeasance In connection with the Insurance exposures, but he takes the ground that while they are morally guilty, the technical proof to convict them Is wanting and a case has not been made out against them. Again he Is criticised tor not hasten ing the prosecution of Harry Thaw, but he repllea that there are nearly a score of murder casea which havo precedence of that of Thaw and that the richest man In the country would have to take hla turn before the bar of Justice.' In fact he la a storm center In certain quarters of New York, but he maintains a serenity which only exas perates hla enemies. He and hla assistants are heartily welcome to Allan tn. Every man who loven the cause of reform feels a personal Interest In hla visit and looks forward with the keenest pleasure to what he may say before the Bar As sociation of the state. As to Mr. Jordan’s Letter and the Bucket Shops. We of course have noticed with considerable Interest Mr. Jordan's letter In Sunday's Atlanta Journal referring to editorials which have appeared In The Georgian- Wo regret that Mr. Graves has been suffering from a bron chial attack and that It bccamo necessary on Friday for him to gp to tho seashore for the benefit of hts health. Naturally Mr. Graves la the proper one to reply to Mr. Jordan's letter, If he chooses. We have not heard from him concerning the letter, but can safely promise print a reply at an early date.

If Mr. Bryan lingers In England much*1onger he will be suspected of having dealgna on parliament, with possi bly a seat In the cabinet The Death of Alfred Beit. The rttheat man In the world passed away today. Alfred Belt himself would have had some difficulty, perhaps, In making a reasonable estimate of hie own wealth, but It la generally conceded that hla fortune wae something like a billion dollars, and that It exceeded that of any other man then living- He waa comparatively a young man, being but lltUe more than 53 years of age at the time of hla death. One by one the men who made South Africa what ahe I* are paaalng to the great beyond. Barney Bernato was the first to go. He was the moat picturesque and perhaps the moat daring of them all. From a clown in a circus—so the story goes—be rose to be one of the I rawer* In the De Beers Mining Company, and with all his wealth he nfever entirely lost some of the attributes of a harlequin until that fateful day when he Jumped overboard In midocean on hi* way to England from the Cape. That strange mixture of dreamer and man of action, Cecil Rhodes, was next to go, leaving behind him an Im mense fortune and a name for achievement which will not die for many a year to come. And now we are called upon to chronicle the death of another of the famous company. Alfred Belt, like Bernato and Rhode*, died a bachelor, and It Is not known what will become of his Immense property Interests, ft la only known that with all hts wealth he had to pay the final debt of nature, and once more we realise that “If health were a thing that money could buy The rich would live and the poor would die." Eugenie’s Closing Days. A few day* ago an aged woman—one who had passed her eightieth year—wrote to the Emperor Francis Joseph that she felt the near approach of death and wished to be near him once more. This aged woman waa none other than the former Empress Eugenie, once the Idol df tho French and tho beauty of Europe. That she Is still living will come as something of a surprise to thoso who do not keep Inform ed of the world's affairs with the steady regularity which the ablfUng kaleidoscope demands, and Indeed the Is a re minder of a past which has receded so far that It Is as If she came from another world on those rare Instances when she makes her appearance among the people of any of the various countries where ahe la always welcome. There Is no more patheUc figure In all Europe except her sister In misfortune, tho ex-Empreaa Carlotta, the un fortunate wife of the Emperor Mxamlllan. She, too, la bowed with the weight of age and cares and Is living out something more thah the Psalmist'* span In the retire ment of an aaylnm. Since that far-off day when, kneel ing before the pope, bogging that he would Intercede In behalf of her husband, her mind suddenly gave way, there has not been a ray of reason to visit her melan- choly mind. She has stood as a pathetic figure, a me mento mort of a regime which has long since passed away. There la In these two pathetic figures a lesson be yond all the power of words. They stand as living exam ples of the evanescence of human greatness and power, and the thought of either of them always summons a world of melancholy reflections. It may be true that the Empress Eugenie Is correct. It may be that she la nearing the end of her long and eventful career. Somo premonition that auch la the case seems to have entered Into her mind and heart and Impelled her to sack the old friend who has stood by her so loyally for all these years. ( It reminds one of tho word* of Woolsey to the effect that "an old man bowed with year* has come to beg a little earth for charity. 1 She Is rich so far as this world’s goods go. But tho friends of her youth have passed away. Few. of the reigning sovereign! were on the throne when ahe waa forced to lay aside her trappings of state. In a abort time more the curtain will fall on thta great drama of her life—one of the moat vital and Important In the history of the world. She will go to her last reward and iay aside all the sorrow* that environed her. No life In Its meridian prime was more brilliant than hen and In Its evening shadows none la more pathetic. If this demoralizing hunt for chorua girl witnesses In connection with the Thaw case had occurred In the win ter season, It would |ardly have been poaslble for the managsn to get a solo together. Tho correspondents who are with Mr. Rockefeller as sure us that he does not even look under the bed before he goes to sleep at night The spirit of Zola must have looked down with sat isfaction and approval on the Court of Caaaatlon when It acquitted Dreyfus.

HUNDREDS DO HONOR TO HIS HOME-COMING Faith in His Cause, Confi dence in Its Success, His Most Sticking Quali ties—Has Never Considered Defeat. By SELENE ARMSTRONG. "Three cheers for Governor Dick!" "Hurrah for our own Dick Russell!” "All aboard for Winder, the next capital of Georgia! "Hello, Dick!" and W. L. Hewlett, for •even year* court bailiff under Judge Rueeell at Lawrencevllel, threw both arms around him and kiaed him right fervently. "Howdy, governor!" “HurrahI" "Hurrah!" "Hur—T~Or— h!" This story begins with a brass band and over 200 enthusiastic Gwinnett county voters who Joined Judge Richard B. Russell at Lawrencevllle Saturday and accompanied him to Winder, where he apoke for the first tlfhe since enter ing the gubernatorial race. It was his home-coming after five months upon the hustings, nfter a campaign which must be recorded as one of the most audacious and picturesque ever made In the state, and Winder and adjolnlnr towns had closed their stores and other places of business In order to show how a prophet may be honored In hi* own country. Reception at Winder. The train bearing Judge Russell and the Gwinnett county voter* waa met at Winder by a still larger throng and by still ^mother brass band. Through the crowd marched Sheriff R. T. Mar tin and ex-Tax Collector A. W. Moore, of Gwinnett, carrying a huge banner, which bore. In splendid red and blue lettering, th* words, “Gwinnett will give 1,000 majority for her own Judge Russell." After more hurrahing, which was this time a combination of Winder and Gwinnett county enthusiasm, and after a general handshaking. Judge Russell reached the carriage which had been sent to meet him. the north-bound train started on it* way. "Good-bye, Clarke!" "Good-bye, Hokel" “Good-bye, Jim Smith and Estlll!” "Good-bye to the whole lot of yer! yelled small boys In derision, and with mock groans of pity as If rain were bearing I defeated candidates.

It doea not aim In any sens* whatever to pro mote any political interests. Its pur pose la to portray something of a per sonality which has asserted Itself so forcefully In two recent Georgia cam- pali on* of the most uniquely Interesting races ever made In this state for the office of governor. What Is It In "Plain Dick" Russell, the nun, that made possible two years ago his remarkable race for chief jus tice of the supreme court, when In against the late Chief Justice 8lmmons, who had held the office eighteen yean? What characteristic* have enabled him, without money, without Influence, with out the support, In the beginning of the gubernatorial race, of a single news paper, to hold hie own against candi dates w-ho control, In a large degree, all theee forces, to win to his support thirty-two Georgia newspapers, and to ■o lay hold upon the hearts of th* peo ple that hi* chance* for the gover norship are conceded by discerning pol iticians to have aesumed serious pro portion!? Does the power of the man He In hla personality, or In hla platform? Or In both? These are questions which have forced themselves upon the attention of the people* of Georgia, and which the writer bore constantly In mind during th* day spent with Judge Russell upon the platform and In hla home at Wind er. iprassion Disappointing. Impressions of Judge Rus- Istinctly disappointing. He First Imprsssion The first In- sell were dlst was not so ugly as 1 had a right to expect to find him, and Instead of farm er’s Jeans, he wore an eminently re spectable Prince Albert coat and created trousers. Even these, however, detracted nothing from the glory of his home-coming, and when he enters!! the densely packed auditorium of the Wind er school building the men who have known him longest and best cheered him aa with one lusty voice. From sev eral hundred people on the outside, who could not find seats In the auditorium, the applause was as strong. Judge Russell was Introduced by W. H. Toole, preslden of the Winder Savings bank. On the platform sat many prominent cltlxens of Gwinnett, Walton and Jackson countlea. Prominent Supporters. A few who were on the stage from Gwinnett county were: C. M. Moor cock, editor: Major W. E. Simmons, T. Haslet, farmer: R. T. Martin, sher- Judge J. P. Webb, ordinary: A. M. Moore, farmer: Captain W. J. Born, Dr. M. A. Born. C. C. Wall, blacksmith: C. U. Born. Colonel F. F. Juhan, W. P. Williams, farmer; W. J. Tribble, farm- -. and C. D. Jacobs, farmer. Some who were on the stage from ..'Inder were: JL H. Cannon, merchant; Rev. H. N. Rainey, Rev. J. H. Wood. Hon. J. T. Strange, mayor; W. H. Toole, president of Winder Savings low townsmen for the welcome they had given him. His words bore an unmla takable stamp of sincerity and convic tion. It Is the Intensity of the man that impresses you first, and It was the earnestness of his nature that made me, when I Intended asking If he really seriously hopes to be elected governor, modify my question and say, “If you are defeated, Judge, will you run again?" Hae Never Considered Defeat. With characteristic energy, he re plied, "I have never considered being defeated.” It was easy to see that Judge Russell Is making the Identity of hla Interests with those of the masses the Issue of his campaign. And from the enthusi asm which tilts Identity of Interests calls forth, It Is evident that he plays a strong hand. His appeal, direct, pas alonate, Is to the common people. Un mlstakably he feels that he la one ( of them—their cause hts cause. “And when the voice of the sover sign people Is heard at the ballot, Georgia will see that the common peo ple remembered their 'Plain Dick* Rus sell," he declared confidently, amid cries of "Yes, yes, Dick,” and "Three cheer* for 'Plain Dick' Ruaaell.” He never uses the pronoun "I," but twava th* tunrrl "nnr" 'Til* ffilllM nf hla platform upon which he dwell* longest are the Issues that seem to touch vitally the masses. Hla language Is a simple tongue; his Illustrations are the homely onei of every-day life. Believe* In HI* Cause. With an Impassioned conviction of th* righteousness of hla cause, with a faith In the common people that la os a sacred trust given Into their keeping, and with an Inborn kinship to their joys and sorrows “Plain Dick" Ruaaell stands unique In hts aspiration make manifest In deeds the faith that le In him. The moet readily recognised factor In Judge Russell's popularity as s speaker has not, as yet, been mentioned. This Is his ready humor—certainly the moat valuable aseet of a public speaker. He has a never-falling fund of anecdotes and telling witticisms. He wields with deadly effect the weapon of ridicule, yet when his enemies sleep soundly In the absurd little graves to which he consigns them, one realises that hla wit haa been without venom. Main Issues of His Platform. The main Issues of Judge Russell's platform, as outlined In hla speech at Winder, are as follows: 1. Equalisation of taxes, by which the burden of the tax-payer would be reduced 60 per cent. 2. The extension of the state road to the coast as the only permanent and fair adjustment of freight rates. 2. Local option. 4. Nine months' school term In the rural districts, and equitable school taxes. 6. Reduction of railroad fare to 2 cents per mile and use of interchange able mileage books. 6. The election of railroad commis sioners by the people. Judge Russell«' Iff; Toole, president ot w inaer Having* bank: Rev. W. T. Hamby. S. J. Smith, farmer: A. L. Smith, farmer; Jacob farmer; A. L. Smith, fanner; Japob Lowry, farmer, and Hon. Pears* Now ell. of Monroe. Mr. Toole's Introduction of Judge devoted some length ot time to the Issue of disfranchisement, showing that since the disfranchise ment act must receive the sanction of ballot box. It does not, as an Issue, af fect the governorship. He opposes alt corporate Influence. He believes that railroads should be taxed on the market value of their stock, but that they. In turn, are enti tled to honest dividends on thefr prop erty. An Arduous Campaign. During hts picturesque campaign of five months Judge Russell has can vassed ninety-seven counties, often day. With an Indefatigable energy, haa electioneered on trains and on the country roadways. The most striking feature of hie campaign, dnd one of which he does not boast, Is the econ omy with which it has been conducted. "It was hard for me to decide to en ter the race,” he told me, "because there are my children, and I did not know whether It would be right to ■take so much time and effort on the race. Finally my wife decided for me, and neither of us has ever been sorry of her choice." Makes Many Sacrifices. During these months ot continual travel he ha* never taken a berth In a sleeper, and hla friends declare that JUDGE RICHARD B. RUSSELL. Candidate for Governor of Georgia, 1 Rjr Private Lckipd Wire. New York, July' 16.—-The venerablt j-srnlor senator from New York. Hon ' Thomas Collier Platt, crlebrated hit | 73<1 birthday yesterday by holding , - reception at his summer home, the ' Manhattan Beach hotel, which was 4t- ; tended by many p illtlclans from all sections of the state. : In speaking of the event, Mr. Platt i had this to say: "Yes, I know I am 73 wars ! ’ ; I know It only aa a matter of slmpia fart, not because I feel that old or that young. To be 73 years oU feel* Just like being 70. In oth< r v. rds, I f ee j ■ I did three years ago, Just the same t _ . Just the same as I did yesterday." "Politics? I know nothing of politics It Is all a blank to tne. I am a nega tive proposition, a looker-on." From the "leaders” who gathered about him the laat declaration nf Sena- tor Platt may be taken In a Pickwick- Ian sense. There Is a great deal of discussion In art and antiquarian circles as to whether J. P. .Morgan has secured the greatest of nil art treasures or In the vernaculaf has been "handed the most gigantic lemon" on record. Mr. Morgan has paid a fortune for what he has been nrsured are the gold and silver eecleslastlral vessels of ths early Christian church and were burled In the Isle of Cyprus In the esventh century. How long they had been In existence before they were burled can only bo guessed at. but It Is known that Christianity drove out Paganism from the Isle very early In the beginning of the era, so that—on the assumption that these vessels ore authentic—the date of their making would run back 1,100 years or so. The story of ths dealers Is that these sacred vessels were burled when the Moslems Invaded Cyphis and the fact.i of their discovery do not seem to be exactly understood. for Spartan sacrifices of hla health and of personal comfort. He Is the only candidate, who, until recently, has em ployed no stenographic service what ever. his correspondence being largely * ‘ • ‘ ilf. looked after by Mr*.

"Romancers and Statesman." To the Editor of The Georgian: 11 have read with much concern your very able and conciliatory editorial on Romancers as . Statesmen." I quite agree with you that th* successful and famed author of "The Jungle" made a mistake when he consented to run for congress on a Socialist ticket. Now, what I want to know Is, have I any valid reason for coinciding with you, and let me oak, have you any great and good reason for saying that Mr. Upton Sinclair made an error In accepting a Socialistic nomination? Now, I know there Is a "thing," and by the courtesy of fair play I may be permitted to call It a reason, nnd this reason or "thing," If you please, is the only why. I concur with you In saying that the noted thinker went wrong In going oqt of the political school, to which he formorly belonged, and tak ing up abode with the Socialists. Is the prejudice of the common people against Socialism? Can you give any other reason. If by a stretch of mag nanimity you can call this a reason? Webster defines Socialism as meaning: “The science of the reconstruction of society, communism,'' and he define* communism aa meaning “a state nf having all property In common. Social ism." The question arises now, do you, or rather do me, object to “the science of the reconstruction ot socle ty?” Are the conditions surrounding society today satisfactory? If so, why all this unrest? Are we opposed to “a state of haring all property In com mon?” Do we not generally dissent to this last Idea, upon the ground ot Its Impracticability, that If Is Just simply too good a state of affairs to be poasl ble? Do we not often. In replying to those defending the principles ot So cialism that It Is good, Just too good, to ever come to pais? Understand me. I am not,advocating Socialism or com munism, but In these tranquil, piping, peaceful, good old summer times, I would like to read from your forensic and Intrepid pen an editorial, brilliant, aa you usually write them, a definition of Socialism. This Is a good time of year to think and to give latitude to our thoughts. The people now, more than ever, love bold, fearless thought, and liberality affords excellent season ing on all occasion* for Intellectual thoughts. Thanks In advance for the editorial on Socialism.

The Atlanta Georgian's cartoons con tribute greatly to the gayety of the olltlcal circus, now on the boards, .'he Georgian’s artist seems to have his limited campaign funds have colled sized up the situation with a fin* eye. Friends of Cornelius Vanderbilt have Just learned that his steam yacht, the North Star, flagship of the New York Yacht Club, with Mr. and Mrs. Van derbilt and their two children, narrowly escaped disaster on a mysterious ob struction which the vessel struck while on her way Into Bar Harbor, Me., on Wednesday night. It was very foggy and the North Stsr was proceeding under one bell, at quar ter speed. The pilot could not “pick up" any of the harbor buoys and was feeling his way to an anchorage when a Jar was felt that caused the yacht to tremble from stem to stern. The shock awakened every one below decks.- Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt ran on deck and the nurses followed with their two children, Cornelius, Jr., and Grace Vanderbilt. The children were crying In flight. The vessel was not seriously Injured, t pr however, and proceeded on her voyage. Wet times are ahead for the planet Venue, according to Professor Johann Retm, of the royal observatory at Ber lin. Professor Relrn, .who Is one of Ger many’s greatest meteorologists, de clares that between 780 and 1,170 Inches of rainfall caused the great flood about 12.000 years mtu, nnd that this down pour marked the change between the rule of the earth’s Internal heat and th* heat of the sun. In support Ot hts theory he calls attention to the present condition of Vonus, a spectral analysis of which shows the planet aurrourT-1 with an atmosphere heavily saturated with moisture. "Thousands of years ago," he says, "that was precisely the condition or tills earth. In r-msequenre nf th. tense Internal warmth enough wstn was vaporised to form a thick veil ot heavy clouds. The sun's rays coulii not penetrate this veil of clouds, but there was enough warmth In the earth to produce a mild climate and rich veg etation. "The moisture soaked atmosphere In creased the atmospheric pressure from three to four times what It Is now, and the gradual lessening of th* heat from the earth brought about a lower tem perature. With the colder temperature the lower itrata of clouds became too heavy to remain In position, and, de scending, caused fearful cloudbursts, causing what le known at the deluge. GEORGIANS IN GOTHAM.
