Mr. Jerome on “Public. Opinion.”
The iddrees of District Attorney Jerome at Warm
Springs on the lubjeet of "Public Opinion” will be read
with koen Interest and unqualified approval throughout
the country. It was the mature expression of a man who
his had abundant opportunity to familiarise himself with
tho subject on which he spoke and It was evident that he
had considered the matter to some purpose.
Mr. Jerome, In substance, recognised the power of
public opinion, bnt deplored the fact that It was too fre
quently formulated on Insufficient data, for which hasty
reading on the part of the people themselves and the wll
fill perversion oh facts on the part of newspapers and
other vehicles of Information were largely responsible.
MK Jerome dwelt with special emphasis on the fact
that It was to the news features of a newspaper that the
render of the present day looked for light and guldanco,
and he expressed the opinion that the power of the edi
torial, the "advocate,” so to speak, was less than It had
been in former years. This may or msy not be true. We
aro disposed to think that the Influence of editorial opin
ion Is now, as !t>.as ever been, In direct accordance with
the character which the Individual newspaper establishes
for Itself. True, It has no human attributes—It has no
tone of voice or peculiarity of gesture—and yet In course
of time It acquires a character as distinct as any Indi
vidual. Its habits of thought. Its reputation for honesty
and fairness and Intelligence become as well established
In the public mind as do the same characteristics of any
public Individual. And the Influence It exerts, the cre
dence which la placed In Its opinions, the attention paid
to Its advice Is In proportion to the respect It enjoys for
employing these characteristics wisely and well.
But this Is merely In passing.
Mr. Jerome deplores the hasty Judgments, founded
on Insuflielont Information, entertained by that vast body
of people whose convictions make up what Is known as
public opinion, regardless of the facts In the case, re
gardless of wisdom and common sense, whan In point of
fact tho men who are qualified by superior Intelligence
and by diligent study, combined with true patriotism,
ahould take the part of leaders. They should Join forces
with the other agents of enlightenment and guide pub
lic opinion la the paths of prudence and sound Judg
ment, and In the case of statutory enactments, for In-
stance, leave It to the beneficial operation of those laws
to vindicate their Independence and honesty of purpose.
No two of these factors In.the enlightenment of pub
lic opinion could be more powerful and Important than
the newspapers and the' men to whom Mr, Jerome’s re
marks were directly addressed—the lawyers—end he en
lists the support of all right thinking people when he
pleads that these agents should be more honest and more
Independent In their campaigns of education.
It Is not always easy to .set one's face against public
opinion and undertake the more or less thankless task
of saving people who “don't want to be saved,” but It Is
tho part of high Citizenship and true patriotism, and
the reward of such men and such newspapers will be
great.
Mr. Jerome Is himself a conspicuous example of the
men who.In a temporal and economic sense "point to bet
ter worlds and lead the way.” He stands out as a man
of undoubted honesty and undisputed conrage. On more
than one occasion be has put Into execution the homely
advice of Davy Crockett, and being sure he was right,
hss gone ahead, content to wait for public opinion to
catch up.
In large measure Mr. Jerome Is the embodiment of
the advice he gives, and his success Is a Justification of
the course he has pursued.
to Mr. Odell. They first met In an Informal conference
about two weeks ago. In which the things discussed were
purely personal. It was but tho waving of the baton
before the overture. ,
A week later they met In a more formal conference,
which Lemuel EH Qulgg attended, and It Is ho who now
gives out the true story of what happened there. He
says that Mr. Odell called on Mr. Platt at the special
request of the latter, as he had done In the first Instance,
and that there was absolutely no agreement as to the
retirement of Mr. Odell. As a further Indication of the
harmony which prevailed In this new alliance It Is said
that George W. Dunn, whom Odell had prevented from
becoming chairman of the executive committee, and
Bloat Fasiett, who wanted the place, were both Induced
to bury the hatchet and Join In the love feast.
So far from Odell's retiring from the chairmanship
It Is given out tbst he will In fact succeed himself If he
wants to, and that this will certainly bd done provided
the antl-HIgglns faction succeeds In controlling the state
convention.
This "provided" Is a very Important feature, bower-
| It Is far from certain that the antl-HIgglns element
will control the next convention. In fact, it Is very evi
dent that the Higgins faction Is very much In control of
tbs situation. Governor Higgins himself Is scheduled to
coll on the president within the next few days or hours
and the administration indorsement will probably be
made more emphatic than ever.
Odell, is .still comparatively young and active and
the whirligig of time may yet restore him to power, but
there Is something patbetlo In the recrudescence of Platt
He has sunk lower In public esteem during the past two
years than any one ever thought he would during his life
time. His neglect of hts duties In the senate, his selfish
ness and peanut politics bavo all disgusted the people
who at one time stood In awe of him because of his
power. But the Jackal has been robbed of his teeth. The
easy boss of other days now makes himself a motley
to the view. Time was when he would have made no
overture to Odell or anyone else, but sow we find him
supplicating for peace at any price, and his enemies
yielding a reluctant acquiescence.
| The whole affair Is but a ripple on the surface and
no one seems to take It seriously.
The Platt-Odcll Treaty of Peace.
Just when the public had begun to forget all about
"Boss” Platt—when the adjournment of congress had
drawn public attention from the fact that the veteran
senior senator was never In hla seat In the upper
house—he comes again Into the limelight by negotiating
a treaty of peace with State Chairman Benjamin B.
Odell and sets the politicians of the Empire State to
speculating on the developments of the Immediate tu-
ture.
There has been bitter enmity between Senator Platt
and State Chairman Odelf for several years. The easy
boss of other days made a determined effort to oust
Odell from the chairmanship and place one of his own
friends In the office.
It was pointed oet as slngulsrly out of taste—to put
It mildly—for the governor of a state, as Mr. Odell was
then, to he at the same time the chairman of the state
executive Committee. But Odell practically told all his
critics to go to the bow-wows, and he continued to dis
charge the functions of both offices. Senator Platt was
unable to control the machine which he bad come to
look upon as his very own, and there was a great deal
of talk about "more men adoring the sun rising than the
sun setting.”
But the control of the machine never passed entirely,
to Odell. The predictions that President Roosevelt was
going to espouse his cause as against Platt were not
fulfilled and the opinion gradually gathered strength
that both Platt and Odell were practically dead cocks
In the pit. •
They have attracted very little attention of late and
no one seemed to take them seriously. The growing age
of the senior senator lent color to the Impression that
the days of his bad eminence were numbered.
This latter Impression has not been eradicated by
any means, but In the meantime the warring leaders have
perfected a defensive and offensive alliance which Is
somewhat Interesting. For awhile It was given out that
the basis of the agreement waa that Mr. Odell would re
tire from the chairmanship of the Republican party of
the state, but this Is now emphatically denied. It Is
stated, furthermore, that Mr. Platt made the overtures
Judge Ormond’s Tragic Fate.
The death of Judge Walter Ormond Is sincerely
mourned by his host of friends In Atlanta. He was
man of ability and of charming personality. He occupied
position which called for tact, diligence and integrity,
and these he displayed In a signal dogree. From the
reproaches which have been from tlmo to time heaped
upon courts of the class over which he presided he him
self was uniformly exempt, and the excellence with which
he discharged the duties of hts office elicited the warmest
commendation.
He waa genial, attractive and magnetic In his social
life. His never falling good humor, radiating from the
very Joy of living, and his love for his fellow man, made
him a welcome guest at all tlmos and placea His loy
alty to his friends was proverbial and his consideration
of those who came before him In his official capacity
Illustrated the wisdom with which Justice can be temper
ed with mercy.
The circumstances of his death are particularly
touehlng. So recently he was with us In the full enjoy
ment of life and health; so recently he was In bis accus
tomed place, discharging the duties from which he waa
at the time of his death taking the -first vacation he had
claimed since his Incumbency; so sudden and so pecu
liarly tragic was his end, that the blow falls heavily
upon his family and friends.
It may bo that the Jealous waters of tho deep where-
In he Ilea will never yield his body to the tender cus
tody of his loving friends; It may be his melancholy
fate to rest forever where the drifUng sea-weed Is the
meager garland of hts grave. But he cannot rest so deep
that the plummet of a thousand faithful hearts will not
reach him and restore him In sacred memory to those
who knew him beat and loved him moBt.
A Nickname for Oklahoma.
This thing of coming Into statehood has its trials.
That Infant commonwealth formed by the Indian
Territory and Oklahoma has not even secured Its place
definitely and finally In the American sisterhood, and
yet It Is already worrying about a nickname.
As a usual thing these terms of endearment are
the product of a gradual evolution or some spontaneous
circumstance which affords the fitting word. But Okla
homa Is Impatient to have all the auxiliaries of a full-
fledged state, so she wants a nickname even before she
gets a new governor or erects an adequate capitol build
ing.
She has gone about It deliberately. Lest some for
tuitous event should fix upon her a name not to her
liking she Is holding a voting contest At least some
enterprising cttlxon has started the contest In the news
papers and It Is taking like wild lire. The more se
rious work of organize,ton has almost been lost sight
of In the fever and fervor of the fight Thousands of bal
lots are being ca.i through the newspapers every day,
and the matter seems to be no nearer a settlement than
at the beginning.
This thing of giving nicknames to the states Is al
most as old as the republic. We have the Empire 8tate,
both North and South, the Nutmeg State, the Hooster
State, the Hawkeys State.‘the Wolverine, the Oopher
and the Tadpole State. We have the Tar Heel, the
Buckeye, and the Badger State. A high authority on
the subject Is even Irreverent enough to declare that our
own nickname properly Is the Buzzard state.
So It was a foregone conclusion that Oklahoma
should have a nickname and some of the suggestions
are enough to spread a smile over the face of the uni
verse. One man wants to call It the "Forty-8lx Shooter,”
co.J.blr.ing a wild and wooly memory with the fact that
It Is the forty-sixth state in the union. The majority
of voters thus far seem to favor the "Boomer State,”
while the “Banner State" follows as a dose second.
The Prohibitionists want to call It the “Coldwater State,”
bnt cold water Itself Is being thrown on the suggestion.
The “Big Gun 8tate” has found a certain amount of fa
vor In compliment to Speaker Cannon, while the "Razor-
back State" Is declared by a large number of people to
be the winner.
These are but a few of the thirty-seven names which
have thus far figured In the-contest. We all remember
how the country for many years wss rent and torn over
the discussion as to the national flower. The Daugh
ters of the Revolution and other patriotic societies kept
the issue before the people for a long time. State con
ventions were held In which this was the lesding topic
of discussion. We have a vague Impression that the
golden-rod finally found some sort of official recognition,
but it Is certain that the people themselves have never
accepted It very fully and we cannot be said to have
a national flower, any more than we have a national an
them. which Is universally accepted as such.
At the same time no one will seriously object to the
little by-play going on out In the newest state In the
sisterhood as to what she will call herself In the privacy
of confidential conversation.
The whole country unites In calling her great

£ JESUS TEACHING HOWTO PRAY ^
Golden Text:
“S
Lord teach us to pray—Luko xl, 1.
E8UB was a man of prayer. Some one has computed it recorded
Instances. Of course there were many more. When mention Is made
of His praying. It is not recorded as an exceptional thing, but as His
habit Sometimes He took His disciples with Him, and again He went
alone. We may suppose Hie prayers were very similar to those of every
Christian, with the exception that He never prayed for pardon, as "Ha was
without sin."
We are to Infer from the request of the disciples on tbls occasion that
John had taught his disciples to prqir, and they wished Him to do the same
for them, and so He gave them what Is commonly called the Lord’s prayer.
No prayer has ever been formulated that Is more comprehensive, or
that has been oftener repeated by human lips. It has been Incorporated In
the creed, confession or liturgy of ovary church. It Is one of the first prayers
that the children are taught to lisp at their mother's knee, and one that the
aged find pleasure In repeating.
Dr. Ellphalet Nott, president of Union College for fifty years, when he
was a very old man, after he had retired from the presidency, was called
upon to make a prayer at commencement He came trembling to the front
of tho plntform, and then repeated thle prayer, and followed It with "Now I
lay mo down to sleep,” When he concluded, there was hardly a dry eye In
the vast congregation. It Ik a prayer that Is appropriate for any occasion.
There are some who never use any other prayer, and believe that none
other should be used. We are not warranted In this supposition. It was
given as a sample or modeL To use It consistently the highest type of Chris
tian character Is requisite.
When we say “Our Father,” we recognise the brotherhood of man; when
we pray “Thy kingdom come,” we pledge ouraelvea to do all wo can for that
end: when we eay "Thy will be done,” we reach the point of submission and
consecration expressed by Christ In Gotheemane; when we can sincerely pray
"Forgive us our debts aa we forgive our debtors,” we have attained the spirit
manifested by Christ, on the cross.
Some yenrs ago Francis Ridley Havergal wroto a poem on the Lord's
prayer, which waa published by an English magazine, and as It has never
been printed among her published poems, and many persons who read this
lesson will want It for their scrap books. It is given as follows:
"OUR FATHER."
O UR FATHER, our Father, who dwellest In light.
Wo loan on Thy love, and we rest on Thy might:
In weakness and weariness Joy shall abound,
For strength everlasting In Thee shall be found.
Our Refuge, our Helper, In conflict and woe.
Our Mighty defender, how blessed to know.
o
"HALLOWED BE THY NAME."
UR FATHER, Tby promise we earnestly claim.
The sanctified heart that shall hallow Thy name, ^
In ourselves. In our dear ones, throughout the wide world,
Be Thine ns a banner of glory unfurled;
Let It triumph o'er evil and darkness and guilt.
Wo know Thou con’st do It, we know that Thou wilt
“THY KINGDOM COME."
O UR FATHER, wo long for the glorious day
When all shall adore Thee and all shall obey.
O, hasten Thy kingdom, oh. show forth Thy might.
And wave o'er the nations Thy scepter of right.
Oh, make up Thy Jewels, the crown of'Thy love.
And reign In our hearts as Thou relgneat above.
"THY WILL BE DONE;
O UR FATHER, we pray that Thy will be done,
For full acquiescence Is Heaven begun.
Both In us, and by us Thy purposs be wrought.
In word and In action. In spirit and thought.
And Thou enn'st enable us thus to fulfill
With holy rejoicing Thy glorious will.
“OUR DAILY BREAD."
O UR FATHER, Thou careat: Thou knowest Indeed
Our Inmost desires,'our manifold need:
The fount or Thy mercies shall never be dry,
For Thy riches In glory shall meet the supply;
Our bread shall be given, Our water be sure,
And nothing shall fall, for Thy word shall endure.
"FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS."
O UR FATHER, forgive us, for we have transgressed,
Havo wounded Thy love, and forsaken Thy breast;
In the peace of Thy pardon, henceforth let us live.
That through Thy forgiveness, we, too, may forgive.
The Son of Thy love, who has taught us to pray,
For Thy treasures of mercy has opened the way.
“LEAD US NOT IN TEMPTATION.*
T HOU knowest our dangers. Thou knowest our frame.
But a tower of strength Is Thy glorious name;
Oh, lead us not In temptation, we pray,
But keep us. and let us not stumble or stray:
shall nnilar Tin* thiiilmi’ nhMh!
Thy children shall under Thy shadow abide;
In Thee as our Guide and our Shield we confide.
“DELIVER US FROM EVIL.”
O UR FATHER, deliver Thy children from iln.
From evil without, and evil within.
From thle world with Its manifold evil and wrong,
From the wilds of the evil one, subtle and strong.
Till aa Christ overcame, we, too, conquer and sing
All glory to Thee, our victorious King.

OLD GREEN BACKER’8 VIEW8.
To tho Editor of Tho Georgian:
As you have very kindly allowed somo
of our Populists brothers on all sides
of the gubernatorial contest to ex
press their views through the medium
of your most excellent paper, os well
as the opinions of "our friend*, the en
emy," will you please extend the same
courtesy to your friend, the subscriber,
to state some facts and ask some ques
tions?
Thirty years ago, after having suf
fered from the disastrous effects of
three financial panics, I, with seventeen
others, organized the Greenback party
of Georgia. R was the People's Party
of that day.
Tho party grew, giving promise of
Immediate reform, till In 1S7R >ve had
thirteen straight Greonbackera In con
gress, breaking Into tho Republican
■arty ranks In Maine, Indiana, Illinois,
own, etc., and Into Democrat party
ranks In Texas, Alabama/North Caro
lina and Missouri, and the Democrats
becoming frightened, In their state
platforms out-grcenbacked the Oreen-
i wickers—Just a Herod was out-Herod-
ed—and over sixty calling themselves
Greenback Democrats, were elected to
congress. Georgia furnished one or
two of them and one or two were
counted out. The Greenback Demo
crats, with the assistance of tbe
straight Greenbacks™, could have or'
gnnlzod the house and legislated finan
cial relief for tho people. The Green-
backers offered to support any Green
back Democrat the party might offer
for speaker of the house, but, regard
less of their promises, the Greenback
Democrats went Into the Belmont
caucus and helped to elect Sam Ran
dall, a-hlgh-tariff-hard-money Repub
lican Democrat, thus opening the way
for Grover Cleveland to give us an
other term In the school of adversity,
teaching us the blessings thereof
tbruaffh his financial object lesson.
Thus were tho Greenbackers betrayed
by a kiss and their organization ceasod
to exist, and power was confirmed and
bestowed upon one, two . or* three bll
llonalres of Europe and America, to pro
clpttate a financial panic whenevr they
see their own Interest In doing so. And
whenevr this thing occurs a hundred
thousand ambitious young ■ men
throughout our land, who have In
vested their sweat browed earnlnga In
a partly paid for'horns, will see that
home swept Into the greedy maws of
the beneficiaries of our bond-based,
Britsh-fundlng system.
The methods employed by the lead
ers of the Democrat—not Democratic-
party to catch Greenback suckers Is
now being operated for Populist suck
ers; unfortunately many are taking
the hook.
Now, I want to ask some questions,
and, ss for the past twelve years ws
have regarded him as our peerless lead
er, I want to aak these questions of
Mr. Thomas E. Watson. In view of
the foregoing facts and other near-
horns history, I shall present:
Can any Intelligent, honest, self-re
specting Populist step out from "the
middle of the road," In which you have
so often begged us to keep, and align
himself with a party whose . most
prominent representative In stats poll-
les, a candidate for governor, says Is
controlled by as corrupt an organisa
tion as the devil could desire, the na
tional organisation being headed by
Tom Taggart, ths proprietor of on* of
the most disreputable gambling dives
In the world—a den where women and
children are encouraged Jo cultivate
vicious habits? Is a party so organised
—depending upon and hopeless of na
tional success without the aid of Tam
many Hall—worthy ths support of a
true Populist? Is a party whose head

“FOR THINE 18 THE KINGDOM."
UR FATHER, Thy children rejoice In Thy reign.
Rejoice In Thy highness, and praise Thee again:
Yea, Thine to the kingdom, and Thins Is ths might.
And Thins to the glory transcendent!/ bright.
Forever and ever that glory shall shine.
Forever and ever that kingdom be Thine.
That the disciples might be encouraged to pray Chrtot gives them the
parable of the friend at'mld-nlght. Dr. French saye: "There to the same
argument os In the parable of tbe unjust Judge, one from the lees to the
greater, or more accurately from the woree to the better—but with thle
difference, that here the nmrrow-heertednese and eelfishnesa of man to set
against the liberality of God, while there It to hla unrighteousness which to
tacitly contrasted with the rtghteouenees of God. The conclusion Is that If a
selfish man can yet be won by prayer and Importunity to give, an unjust
man to do right, how much more certainly ehall the bountiful Lord betaow
and the righteoue Lord do Justice."
We are not to suppose that God is reluctant to give, that our persistence
can overcome Hto unwillingness, or that It Is any trouble for Him to give.
Only the one thought le to be emphasised.
Christ follows tbe parable with an Illustration from the home life, the
father's willingness to grant the requests of hto children, and then adds
that God to still more willing to give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him.
He to more willing to give than we are to receive.
To receive, three things are requisite. We must ask. seek and knock.
Our receiving will he commensurate with our faith. We must ask in His
name. God will honor every draf* at the Bank of Heaven that is counter
signed by Jesus Christ. None has ever yet been protested.
told us Southern Populists to go back

__ worthy
of our respect? to a candidate for
governor of the state of Georgia who
Insulted every Popultot of Georgia by
charging that we slept on the floor of
the capitol with nigger delegatee wor
thy of our support?
Is a candidate who so unfairly and
outrageously misrepresented the pro
ceedings of our convention, one of the
largest and most representative that
ever assembled in the state, that I
resolution of condemnation waa unau
lmouely passed, now worthy of our
support? ’
we remember how feelingly and pa
thetically the chairman of our conven
tion told .ue of the negro woman who,
on her death bed, sent 60 cents to eld
the Populists In their fight against
Democratic corruption. We hope that
old negro woman's ghost may never re
turn to earth to learn that her 60 cents
haa been misapplied.

Now, honestly, Mr. Watson, do you
advise, remembering your position be

opera house speech, the Populists of
rt their party on ths
Georgia to desei
strength of one man of the Democratic
a rty saying he to In favor of negro
franchtoement, knowing st ths asms
time that he, even as governor, would
be no more able to do It than you or I?
