Harvle Jordan’s Unworthy Criticism. The editor of The Oeontlan return* to hla desk this morning from the aeaeoaat of North Carolina to read the article and tbe malevolent cartoon prepared and algned •by Mr. Harvlo Jordan, of tho Southern Cotton Association. We accept without hesitation the gauge ot credit and of fact which Mr. Jordan fllnga down upon the head of one of the beat friends tbst the Southern Cotton Association has over known, and we promise to render this episode one of tho most Interesting that Mr. Harvle Jordan has ever experienced In his politic and ambitious career. It may be well to say In the beginning that which we have said before, that The Georgian bae not been the advocate and the champion of tbe exchanges, and that WE HAVE BEEN AND ARE NOW THE UNHESITAT ING 0PP0NENT8 OF THE BUCKET 8H0P8. We bare grown up by environment and by general In vestigation under the Impreeslon that there waeavastand vital difference between the legitimate exchanges and the buckot shops doing business In the country. We have been confirmed and strengthened In this Impression by tho frequent public and apeolflo advocacy of many of the first business men of Atlanta. And under these circum stances, when this great question came up as a fresh nnd vital Issue bofore the Georgia legislature, we did not hesitate as a prudent and conservative organ of public opinion to present to that body our own vlow ot the dif ference betwoen tho legitimate exchange and the bucket shop, and to urge upon tho mombers of the legislature a very fair and free consideration of these distinctions before entering upon any radical action that might af fect the serious public Interests of the city and of tbe state. Beyond this we did not go and shall not go. Our slnglo Idea was to Invoko for this question the clear and full understanding and the unbiased decision of tho law-making bodies In order that justice might be done and conservative action might be reached. We bavp never for c.no moment put ourselves beyond tho piano of conviction or beyond the right to alter our opin ion upon this question. We havo vast respec't for the opinion and for tbe Judgment of the Credit Men’s As sociation, and wo do not hesitate to say that the Credit Association has made a full statement of Its views and that these views have Impressed themselves upon our own. We aro absolutely free In this matter, absolutely without obstinacy, and we aro not built of the stuff that would make us adhere to a mere private opinion simply becauso It bad once been expressed. But we cannot fall to express our surprise that the Hon. Harvle Jordan, who represents himself, The Cot ton Journal and tho Southern Cotton Association In that splendid organization, formed to advance the Interests of the cotton planter, should go far out ot his way to father and to frame an attack upon so good and so loyal a friend to the cotton planter and grower as we have been. v Within the past year, the editor ot this paper, with out money and without price, at his own expense and In his own time, has, at the'request of various county as sociations ot the cotton growers, gone to them to speak In earnest and ardent advocacy ot the aims, Interests nnd plans ot tbe association. We have given freely of whatever brains and Information we have had to the In terests and advancement of thle couee. We have receiv ed the thanks ot some twenty or thirty cotton growers' associations assembled In Georgia for the purpose of hearing these speeches made In their behalf, and we havo received more than once and In most emphatic fashion, the hearty commendation and expressed grab itode of Mr. Jordan himself for tbe nature and effective ness of these speeches made In behalf of this association. It may be said here tbst In not one of these speeches have we ever remotely or directly referred in any de gree. to any private Interest or any public candidacy which the editor ot this paper may have had at any time toward any office In tbe state or in the United States. It may be Imagined then how great was the surprise with which we have received the ungenerous and unworthy stab which this man Harvle Jordan has dealt to a friend and a co-operator whose service he has so frequently and gratefully approved. Now, supposing for tbe sake ot argument, that the editor ot this paper was mistaken In hts analysis ot the difference between tbe bucket shops and the legitimate exchanges? We submit tbe question that If this be true, no man In Georgia should hare been more charitable and more considerate toward any possible mistake In Judg ment than this complacent politician who has been chosen as the head of the Southern Cotton Association. Why, the echoes have scarcely died as yet upon the shibboleth ot "Harvle Jordan and 15c cotton!" Into that splendid promise hts strong cocksure assertions led us all. We followed fast In the wake of hts superior wis dom, his professional Information aqd his "duty-to-know.” At Atlanta, at Asheville and at New Orleans, tbe South ern fanners either fell or were whipped Into line be hind Harvle Jordan’s war cry until finally over tbe pro test and judgment of many thoughtful men, It bqcame, almost positive treason to differ with the Boss on this question. But, alas for Jordan, alas for his cocksuro view, and alas tor the cotton planters! There are hun dreds of thousands of dollars tbst might be In the pock ets of the Southern farmers now If Harvle Jordan had not made that foolish mistake Into which we so blindly fell and of which through reliance upon bit superior op portunities Tor Information, we became earnest advo cates. There am tev who have openly rebuked or criti cised Harris Jordan for his egregious error In this matter. They have covered his folly with charity. And yet this same fallible Harris Jordan, staggering under a weight of foolish judgment that cost hundreds ol thousands ot dollars to the Southern farmers, Is the first to rise In criticism against the motives ol a faithful friend who baa fought the farmers' battles with pen and tongue without money and without price, and has had vie Jordan’s own official “well done" stamped upon | Shop and In close association with Us former manager Mr. Hotze. Mr. Love, the present manager of the Piedmont Buck et Shop In his conversation with our reporter practically states that about tbe same time that be bought the stock ot Or. Crawford la that enterprise he also bought the stock of Mr. Fairchild. And Mr. Fairchild Is an employee of the Southern Cotton Association, and Is written In the directory as manager of the bureau of publicity and pro motion. This la claimed as startling testimony. From statements that have been put Into our pos session It looks very likely that Mr. Anderson will bo likely In his testimony to present strong evidence that Mr. Hichard Cheatham, secretary, has speculated In cotton margins frequently In a local brokerage company. It Is stated by another legal witness, and this one, one of tho most prominent citizens of Atlanta, who frank ly and straightforwardly confesses himself a stockholder In tbe Piedmont Brokerage Co. that during his connection with It It was always his Impression that Mr. Cheatham was also a stockholder and Influential factor la the Pied mont bucket shop, and that ho has frequently discussed transactions of that enterprise with him upon the basis of co-membership and co-dlrectlon and hag not had any de nial or protest from Mr. Cheatham of the assumption Im plied by the nature of those conversations. It Is also stated by this reputable citizen, who Is no less than Dr. J. M. Crawford, tho famous specialist of the Pruden tial building, that several conversations have occurred between officers of tho Piedmont bucket shpp which. If ho Is requested to do so, he will cheerfully testify to In public, which leaves upon his mind the definite Im pression that Richard Clleatham, through his agent and employee, Mr. Fairchilds, was an owner and a controller of tho Piedmont Buckot Shop. It was also stated by Dr. Crawford that a circumstantial ovldenco which confirms him In this Impression of Richard Cheatham’s co-oper ating with him la this bucket Bhop, was tho fact that a check for ah additional assessment made by Mr. Cheat ham's employee, as we remember, Mr. Fairchilds, was held over under circumstances which would lndlcato that It was necessary f&r Mr. Cheatham to pass upon It These with a number of other Incidents and circum stances, seem to make up the bulk of the evidence which will bo submitted whenever it may be demanded, to Jus- tlfy tho Implication which Representative Anderson, of Chatham, boldly stated upon the floor of tho bouse. Wo submit to tho people of Georgia that the Cotton Association cannot afford to carry for a day longer than may bo necessary tho burden of this alleged connection of Its high official life with the business of speculation, nnd of bucket shop gambling which It Is now so vigorous ly denounclog through tho columns ot tho dally press and The Cotton Journal. • We have no deslro to say, and wo do not say that these charges aro true. Investigation may prove them to be true or Investigation may prove that they aro entirely false. Mr. Jordan nnd Mr. Cheatham botfi deny them personally. For ourselves, there remains no other duty than to urgo that this Investigation Into these matters shall bo begun at onco beforo the state loglslaturo adjourns And that It shall be absolutely freo and fair nnd absolutely without fear—that there shall be no white-washing done by any partial friend of any party concerned, that tjie Investigation should bo public by a full representation ot tho membership In this and other states—that tho farmers of Georgia aro entitled to know and to understand tho truth fully and perfectly and Just what connection, if any, their high officials may have had In privato with this lDlquIty which they are so loudly condemning In public. Mr. Cheatham Is secretary of tho Southern Cotton Association. More than this he iB’the Intimate and per sonal friend of Jordan, the president. There are those who know them both who say that of tho two men Mr. Cheatham Is tho shrewder and more capable and that ho exercises a very large influence upon the mind of his friend and superior officer. ThlB wo do not know. But wo do know that tho public will find It hard to understand how between two frlonds so close and so intimate and so constantly In conference upon the possibilities of the prices of cotton, Mr. Cheatham could have been engaged In these transactions In such a way as to conceal It from tbe knowledge of hla friend and follow officer. There Is enough In tho nlr of doubt and of apprehen- the unselfish work. . There are thousand* upon thousands of Southern j farmers who will recall In this connection, that a man whose Judgment Is as hasty or ** bad as Harvle Jor- dan’s, ought not to be the first to throw a atone at the friends of the cotton planter under any circumstance*. Whatever may have been bis motive, whether loyal or disloyal, whether good or bad, Jordan has undoubtedly led the Southern farmers Into the mire. He has kept thousands of dollars out of the pockets of the peopl and he ought to be modest and kindly In bis estimate of the Judgment of other men. There Is a mean and little etlng left In the combina tion of cartoon and controversy Into which Harris Jor dan has projected himself. Some small and unworthy soul, either his own or another's, has been moved to sug gest that the editor of The Georgian was Influenced In his earlier comment by the fact that a family connection was an employee In a brokerage office. Tbat was low and utterly unworthy. It stamps Jordan as malicious and ungrateful. We have no need to answer so small and unworthy a measure of speech as that If there 1* any body In Georgia who would believe that Infamous reflec tion, we do not know him. If there Is anything In tbe record of The Georgian or Its editor to justify such an Ill-bred assertion we must confess that we have lived In vain. Tho opinions that we have entertalnsd and expressed upon this question have been thqae held for many years. As we have said before, we are not obstinate In their possession end not committed to their advocacy. All that we want In this or any other matter la to^eee the right and the Just thing for Georgia and for her people, and we may be trusted when we see It to do the right thing over our pre-formed opinions end over our financial Interests. This we have already made manifest in two conspicuous instances to which the public has been the witness. So much for this phase of the controversy. Are the Cotton Officials Speculating ? The remarks made upon the floor of the house of representatives by Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, on Tues day clearly develop a serious crisis In the affairs of the Bouthern Cotton Association. Mr. Anderson Is a gentleman of the highest standing, both In politics and In business. He I* a descendant of Thomas Jefferson nnd Is a representative of tho second olty and county of the state. Hla’romarks wore definite, clear and startling In their auggesUons, and they must be definitely and fearlessly probed for the honor and for the safety of this great body of cotton growers who havo organised for their mutual profit and advancement The Georgian Is far above making tbls Incident tho occasion of any reprisal for an unworthy attack mado by an officer ot tbat association upon this paper. There is not In our records a line In which we hare ever re venged any private wrong In our public comments or car ried the remembrance ot a personal controversy in a con sideration ot the affairs of state. And we come to this question now clearly, resolute ly end absolutely without prejudice In the slnglo Interest ol the Southern Cotton AssoctaUon to whom wo havo dem onstrated our loyalty In no uncertain way. The whole force of editorial advocacy and ot nows exploitation has been freely given through The Georgian to overy Interest of this splendid body of our Industrial llfo. Tho editor of this paper has at hie own expense, of time and labor, made from fifteen to thirty speeches tor as many county associations ot the state cotton growers’ association, and has received from those associations, and from the presl dent of the state association, and from Mr. Harvle Jordan himself, various cordial expressions of appreciation for services which they wore pleased to deem "most valua ble and effective.” There li no onb thing In Georgia to which The Georgian la more pledged by past loyalty of service and by future Intention ot cooperation, than to the farmers and the corton growers end to every other organization that Is honorably conducted to their profit We are so vitally near to these men and realize so clearly their vital moaning to the prosperity and welfare ot the state, tbat we should be false to them and recreant to our duty if we did not UTge that the present Bhadow now resting upon the Bouthern Cotton Association shall be analysed and sifted to the complete satisfaction of the entire body and of the state. In brief, then, the reflections made by Representative Anderson, of Chatham, leave upon the public mind tbe Implication of serious official misconduct, which, In be half of the farmers ot Georgia, we insist must be Inves tigated to the last limit of truth and justice. First, there Is a general Implication that somebody high In station In the Southern Cotton Association has been not only using hla private Inside Information ac quired through the Bouthert Cotton Association, to spec ulate In cotton to his own profit 'through the local ex changes, but that thl* same someone has also gone to the extent of taking atock In a recently organized backet shop known as the Piedmont Brokerage Company, ntad of engineering personal dealings through that agency, act ing In another name than his own. This Is a serious Implication end If It can be demon strated will be damaging beyond measure to tbe further usefulness of the present official life of the association. Individuals have a right If they choose to deal In cot ton on margins so long as It may be legal to do so, and to speculate In future* to the extent which the lew permits. Whatever we may think of such transactions, there are a few who criticise to any severe extent tbe privets indi vidual who takes part In auCh transactions. But, It It should be true that a great end beneficent organisation formed and supposedly administered for the exclusive purpose ot advancing the price ot cotton for the growers ot the stato and ot the South, had In Its high official life a man using Its private Information and possibly Indulg ing himself In privets and dealing under a fictitious name to gamble and speculate In cotton and In futures, then the confidence ot the eotton growers In their organisation le likely to be destroyed, and the men who indulge In such practices are not worthy ot the confidence of their conatitnente or of a future official life In tbe organization. This proposition no man can deny. Tbe circumstance* surrounding th(s charge of Mr. Anderson with certain specific statement* made by repu table men and worthy and prominent citizens, have seemed to fasten suspicion in thl* matter upon Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary, and the Intimate personal friend of Mr. Harvle Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Growers’ Association. These statements of the dally witnesses are at follows: First comes B. C. Cothran, himself the man ager . of e local brokerage office, who testifies freely over hie own signature tbat.be was approached by those who ere organising the Piedmont Backet Shop, with e request that he take stock In that enterprise, end tbat upon hts refusal to do to It was further argued to him by the promoter that Mr. Richard Cheatham, secre tary of the Southern Cotton Association, was an eighth owner In the Piedmont Brokerage Company, and that It he with his environment, could take atock in the enterprise, there was no reason why Cothran should not. Mr. Coth ran also further testifies that he himself has frequently seen Mr. Cheatham In the office of the Piedmont Bucket Sion and ot suspicion to Justify us in saying that until these charges are thoroughly and bravely Rifted, and the atmosphere completely and finally cleared, the present usefulness and effectiveness of the officers of this associa tion are seriously endangered, and that these Interests which should be always subordinated to the vastly greater Interests of the Southern cotton growers, will themselves demand the fullest and promptest and most public action to find the truth and to tell It.

Republicans Passing the Plate. The Republican party Is passing the plate. Gentlemen who have affiliated with tbat party In times past, down In this section of the political vineyard, havo been receiving touching little communications ask ing that they contribute the sum of one modest dollar to defray the expenses of the G. O. P. In the congressional campaign which la gathering strength for the fall elec tions. Some of them havo responded, but some of them have not. , The party of loaves and fishes Is no more prodigal of contributions Just at present than the occasion demands, and Chairman Sherman Is reported to be in a state of mind. This effort to make the campaign contrlbnUons popu lar In their character looks very well, from a superficial point of view, bnt the people would be much more will ing to take It seriously If the present congress, at Its late session, had passed the law prohibiting corporations from making contrlbnUons to campaign funds. It was rumored at one time tbat the express compa nies were to be exempt from the operation ot the rate bill, -but the pressure was too strong and they had to be Included. The program was, so the story goes, that In consideration of their exemption tho express companies were to foot the bills for the congressional campaign, but now they very naturally decline to come across. The congressional committee bad to look elsewhere for campaign funds. Perhaps It was only a .coincidence that the bill prohibiting corporations from contrlbuUng to the yellow dog budget was not passed. Hence those tears—and the passing of the plate. The Republican party on the whcjle seems to have made a moss of It from a strategical point ot view. They have offended the reform element of the country by refusing to pasB the law preventing these contributions from corporations, and at the same time they have offend ed the corporaUons by the provisions of the rate bill. They are now making a heroic effort to pitch the fight on a policy of "Roosevelt and stand pat,” but there aro growing evidences that the country will inject a re duction of the tariff In the discussion, and the latter prop- oalUon Is meeUng with a groat deal of favor. The pro tected Infanta have not only grown so large, but have become so wayward, that the sentiment of the country is slowly but surely becoming aroused, and It seems clear that tariff reform will have a place very near the center ot the stage, not only In tho congressional but In tbe pret- ldenUal election. • Tho whole community has become thoroughly aroused on the subject of Imperfect meat Inspection and the de mand Is Imperative that radical reforms shall be Insti tuted at once.

And he was correct. There was a time when many people In the South boasted of cheap labor, but that did not mean prosperity nor general advance ment. Cheap labor Is not generally low-coet labor. It Is true that In the changing conditions which are tak ing place In the South higher wages are for the time being producing very unaatlsfactory results. Negroes, and to some extent whites. In the South, as well as elsewhere, content, aa they have been, to live on a low plan* ot creature comforts, find that by work ing two or three dags a week they can make as much os they formerly made working five or six days, and therefore they loef half their time. To theae people higher wage* has not, on this account, for the present made much Improvement In their financial condition. It has. however, retarded the operation of manufacturing en terprises, and to seme extent has been an Injury to the peopl# themselves by making them more elothfal than In times when stress of circumstances forced a dally routine of work In or der to secure the necessities of life. But looking at the question from the broad standpoint of the whole South# beat interests, this Is a temporary condi tion, and the disadvantages are tem porary. So long as labor ot all kinds receiv ed low wage* In the South thl* sec tion could never bop* to be an active competitor with the Weat and the North for the better etna* of Immi gration, but with advancing wages it will be possible to turn southward a class of population which we never could have secured under lower wages. This In Itself la a very great advan tage to this section and will counter balance the disadvantages under which farmers and manufacturers alike are now working. But more than that. It la possible that sooner or later high er wages will stimulate the negroes to better methods of living, to more systematic work and to an apprecia tion of what can be accomplished by faithful, honest labor, with the result that nut ot the present conditions of unrest-sad thriftless ness and laziness will come Improvement. And out of these disadvantages which have been produced by the higher wagea which Southern Labor and Its Price are being paid‘there will come con- and we believe conditions which .... eventually result In making more em clent the negro labor of the South. It le difficult to see any sign of the 1st' l« r at present Rather we now see at moet chaotic conditions among a large port of the negro population of the South, but we believe that the Incom ing Immigration made possible by higher wages will make the South lose dependent on negro labor, and, there fore, prove io the negro's advantage. Bo long the negro feel* that the South lo of necessity dependent upon hit labor, *o long will he be Indiffer ent, shiftless, drifting from place to place, without steadiness of purpose and without the development of the qualities which are essential tor bis advancement. Under the old conditions ot tow wages any great broad advancement of the South was not possible. IV* could, It Is true, have attained to the present stage of develbpment, but thtr is only the very beginning, the thresh' old of the great work of Southern upbuilding. What we are now doing Is ao small as compared with what the South must and will do within the next 10 or it years as to teem but child’s play compared with th* limit less possibilities of th* future. With an area and with resource* capable. If no more thickly settled than Mas sachusetts, of supporting 250,000,000 people, it I* not conceivable tbat this section should not continue In Its ad vance without any material halting un til In population It rivals. In propor tion to area, tb* density of th# New England State* and In wealth exceeds. New England In proportion as its pop ulation and It* natural resources ex ceed those of the latter section. The trials and troubles of th* South ern manufacturer and the Southern fanner due to scarcity ot labor are for the time being very perplexing, but out of evil good will come, and th* South may well afford to reiotc* that Increasing employment and Increasing prosperity are bringing about a rate of wages which will make this section a tempting field for the activities of the laboring element ot th* world.
