Hearst’s Giant Stride to Power. The New York World, rival and opponent to all of the Hearet newapapen, baa In double leadi upon Ha ed itorial pace the following paragraph: "There la now no aim of anjr power In ex istence competed to prevent last year's Inde pendent candidate for mayor from becoming on September 26 this year's regular Democratic candidate for governor." The situation In New York reveals a remarkable condition ot affaire which baa a beating of Immediate Importance upon tbe national fortunes ot the Demo cratic party and reveals In new and startling fashion the extraordinary power and prestige attained by William R. Heard. The candidate for president In the Democratic cam paign of 1904, literally slathered with venomous and vin dictive abuse and slander which grew In the great me tropolis of the country, held on with tenacious courage and perseverance against tha overwhelming tide of bit terness, and without a national friend and without a sin gle national newspaper at his back, polled 206 votes In the national Democratic convention as tbe choice of his party for president of the United States. And' behind these votes In the natvonal convention there thundered (be tumultuous applause of a great au dience of nearly 17,000 people who showed that Hearst held a high and enduring place In the heart and In the conlldence ot tbe Democratic masses of America. Coming home from this campaign and with the tides of slander still running high sgslnst him, Mr. Hearst with that magnificent courage of conviction which has always Illustrated his distinguished and heroic public service, consented to lead the apparently forlorn hopo of tbe Municipal League In the city politics of New York and In a whirlwind campaign stretching over six weeks of time, he swept over tbe polls to a triumphant victory out of which he was clearly cheated, but to which ho was unquestionably entitled In the Judgment of every thinking and fair-minded man In New York. And now with that magnificent ballot which de stroyed and put behind him tbe slanderers who had hounded his career, the New York reformers have pro jected Mr, Hearst Into the race for governor of the Em plre State. With the same dauntless spirit which Illus trated hla previous campaigns, Mr. Hearst does not fol low slavlibly In the wake of any organization, but boldly and frankly states bis principles and chooses his own organization. And behold the result of courage, candor and su perbly definite convictions; Not a Democratic leader In New York has raised hts voice against William R. HearsL No opposition has been organized agalnzt him. Tammany Hall, which he fought to a ztandstlll In hla municipal ^campaign, Is praatlcally eating bread out of his hand. And Murphy and McCarren, whom ho held up to public scorn, are following docile and complacent In the wake of hie triumphant move. The New York World, which Is his leading opponent, frankly concedes tbe hope of victory, white In bla favor the ceaseless anargy of Ills agents night and day all over the state la produc ing most enrouraglng and definite results. The pc-oplo of America are coming to realize that the estlmato placed upon this vital man by the editor of Tho Georgian, who was bla friend .and advocate In 1904, was a Just and proper estimate. He la one of the most remarkable men If not the most remarkable man In the field of public life In America today. He la beyond all doubt or question tha finest executive moving upon the face of American polities at this time, and we haxard hare the statement which we confidently rest upon the* future to vindicate, that In the hearts of tbe American Democracy today, and at this time, William R. Hearst, the actor and doer, la every whit as strong aa William J. Bryan, tbe evangel and the prophet for the people's rights. Man for man, ballot for ballot, William R. Hearst would poll today In any state In tbe Union aa many Democratic votes aa Bryan and double as many as any other man. . Now, consider for a moment the evidences of hla power In New Y“ork. He haa not truckled for.an In stant to Tammany Hall. He has not begged for a mo ment for the support of the Democratic machine. The Democratic machine simply realised that If they did not Indorse Hearst be would run aa an Independent candi date of the Municipal League and that the Democratic party would bo third In the race and lose the election, machinery, patronage and all. And so with a recogni tion ot hla power aa significant aa It la comprehensive and prudent, the Democratic machine and tha Democrat ic bosses fell In behind the greatest Democrat ot tbe state and tho Ideal Democrat of bis time who does things rather than talk about them. And at the present moment It looks aa It the most united and vigorous Democracy that has followed a candidate for 20 years In New York would be behind this friend and champion of the rights and tho liberty of tha common people. 8upposo Mr. Hearst Is elected governor of New York 7 It would at once make him the most powerful In dividual In his party, and next to the president the most jKjwerful Individual In the republic. He would hold within himself the power once held by Hill nnd Croker combined. He would be Tammany Hall. He would be the state machine, and New York would belong to him as completely ns any stole waa over held In bondage by an individual. If ho should be elected U would make him In that ■ingle instant the most potential Democrat In the re public. His prestige would leap shoulder to shoulder within an hour with that of Bryan, and In the greatnesa of his executive administration he would day by day forge even to the front of the great Nebraskan as the executive of popular rights and liberty, aa a foe to the trusts and as a compelling restraint upon the aggres sions of an unjust and selfish capital. There la no parallel In this republic to this career that ban grown so steadily, to persistently and with aueh heroic consistency out of overwheTmtng opposition which has always tnct hint and fought and scandalized him and heaped upon him such abuse. It is a simple straight testimony to tbe fart that tho hearts ot the people go out longingly and loyally toward a man who does something for them and for their teres ta. The voices ot the subsidized press, the politicians and of the magnates may howl their maledictions and abuses for a decade against a man like this, but In thi age the people who think and hear and see know n gre big strong man when they sco him. and they know Hearat and know that they can trust him to 1 do what saya be will do, and that bo will execute what he prom 1ms. And knowing this they will give him tbelr votes whenever he asks for them no matter who else may knocking at the door. If Hearst runs for governor of New York he will governor of Now York. • “Olamls thou art and Cawdor—and shall be more hereafter." Hon. William H. Fleming replies at length In Wed nesday'a Macon Telegraph to the article of Judge A. Miller upon dlzfranchlzement. The Georgian regrets that the crowded state of Its columns which precluded the use of Judge Miller's able comment, also shuts out the able but lengthy reply of Mr. Fleming. The discus sion between these eminent Georgians Is upon a high plane end Is worthy of tbe serious attention of men who •re In soarch of the truth. The South Prospers Under Free Trade. Under tho head of "The Orowth nnd Progress of the SoiHb,” -vlilch has become a popular and Informing feature of this page, there recently appeared an article showing that demand for structural Iron and Iron rails was far greater than the supply, and that the general trade at Baltimore In clothing, hats, dry goods, etc., showed that that city was more than holding her own against tbe competition of the North. Thepe facts have led a correspondent to send us the following communication, which wo are glad to print: To the Editor of The Georgian: The heading of this article may startle some of your readers who fancy that because we have a pro tective tariff tbe South Is prospering under protec tion. The truth Is tbs South Is prospering under free trade. Factories and-mills are springing up everywhere throughout the South: Southern Indus tries are multiplying as It by magic. It Is not my Intention to divide our common country Into Indus trial, or any other kind of sections. I am opposed to sectionalism. But tho simple fact Is, tho South Is thriving under treo trade with, and In competi tion with the 'highly-organized, aggressive and un sentimental Industrialism ot the North, f say un sentimental Industrialism to emphasize the fact that Southern' Industrie* are not thriving because of the pity, Indulgence or toleration of their rivals. Certainly no Northern manufacturer says, “The poor, struggling Southern manufacturer Is ray fellow countryman. I will not undersell him." And no Southerner wants him to say it. The South stands by Its own strength. Whst a farce protection Is! Tbe North Is able to undersell the English manufacturer In his own market, and yet wants to be protected from him In the American market. The South thrives under tree trade with tho North, and yet Is presumed by pro tectionists to need protection against the manu facturers of Europe, who aro undersold by the North In their own markets. FREE TRADE. This Is stedge-hsmmer logic. The point of view Is original, and many of our readers, no doubt, had never considered the question In this light, and yet It Is the simple truth that the South Is prospsrlng under free trade as between this section and the rest ot the country. On Monday It was shown In an article on this page that the amount In vented In manufactures In tbe South during the first five years of tho present century had Increased 66 per cent, and the value of her manufactured products had Increased more than 31 per cent durlpg the same Jength ot time, thereby leading tho on>er three groups- of states Into which the country was divided for pur poses of comparison, with New England at tho very tall end of all. As our correspondent says, this has not como about through sympathy. It Is beenuse tho South Is able to compete In the open mnrkct-wlth Now England and the rest of the country. This la, of course, under'freo trade as between the states and constitutes a powerful argu- moift against the theory of protection which the Repub lican party so asslduoasly fosters. There Iras been an awakening ot the people throughout tho country of late and protection Is about to be called to the bar again. Thero are abundant signs that It will be one of the leading features of the next presidential campaign. Governor Cummins and his lows Idea” ot tariff reform have won out In the Hawk- eye state by an overwhelming majority and the epi demic of reform la apreedlng. Surely If the South can do so ranch In open com petition without bounties or protection to her Infant In dustries, and If the great steel works and other en terprises can compete In Europe, selling their products actually cheaper than they are sold at homo, this thing of protection becomes a solemn farce. It Is merely a machine by which tho rich may become richer and trusts and monopolies may be born and nurtured. The Booth nnder free trade Is showing the rest of the country the fraud and folly ot protection. The Question of Small Parks. The question of MtUng asldo a number of breathing spaces and small parks In the city ot Atlanta Is one of too much Importance to go by default and the advocacy of it should not be allowed to languish for a single day. It Is one of the most Important Improvements con templated for the municipal life of the people and It has taken a strong hold on the public mind. Those who do not follow cloMly the growth and development of other cities of the country have but little Idea how much Importance this question has at tained. It Is a live and burning question In all the great cities, and Is becoming more Important every day. It Is being realised everywhere that as communities grow and the new buildings multiply the necMsIty for rerarvlng breathing spaces at suitable Intervals before It Is too Ists becomes more and more Imperative. An Instance In point Is tbe fact that the commis sioners of the borough or Brooklyn having the matter In hand have recently canvassed the situation and have decided upon nineteen sites for new breathing spaces and small parks. These will be recommended to tbe board of estimates and the work of laying them out and providing for their future maintenance will begin at once. This should be conclusive evidence of the Interest felt throughout the country.. Nlnstsen small parks for tha recreation ot the people Is a goodly number. If Bipoklyn needs such a number surely a city of tha else and Importance of Atlanta can afford to set aside end maintain three or four, even at the preeent time. It. will not be disputed that Atlanta Is growing as rapidly as any other city In the country. The waste places are being built up at a rate which will soon leave us no available ground for tha establishment of small parks. We will have a magnificent area of brick and mortar—a great commercial and Industrial metrop olis, but no recreation grounds for the children and for the people In general. This should not be. The far- seeing wisdom of the city fathers should provide for these small parks while there Is yet time, and the time to begin Is now. The Way to Influence Things. The element of common sense Is the Indisputable mark of a sound mind, and the Indispensable requiBlto to wholesome success. " There Is not a causo or an advocacy In which dis cretion should not be duly mixed with valor or with zeal. And many an ass hss brayed so loudly as to Bcaro away hla friends. Thero are great causes being tried by honest men In Juries, In chambers and In legislatures. These men sometimes err In Judgment, and sometimes follow an environment which la stronger than their Judgment or their wills. Those who seek to Influence these folk will find that self-respecting men can rarely be driven by bitterness or forced by low abuse. And many times such men and their friends are set In obstinacy or moved to retaliation by foolish heat In opposition. It Is the mark of the vuigui and tlie cruel mind to soek to drive roughshod with tho least touch on tha seine of Influence. Such minds are neither fit for responsi bility nor power. They are born for bondage and sub- ordination. Men are moved and swayed by appeals to honor, to patrloUsm—and also too frequently by appeals to Interest. But there are few men In this fearless age who can be driven by a vulgarian with a lash. Of course these reflections are general and law ful, but jr, have no right to prohibit an application It any mind Is so disposed. Editor Stovall, of tba Savannah Press, who le also Representative Stovall, of Chatham, gives us the v assur- ance In Tuesday's Press, that the Western and Atlantic lease will be defeated In the house ot representatives. ThanHs for tho Information. ANDERSON, OF CHATHAM, EXPLAINS THE SUB STITUTE. To the Editor of Tho Georgian: In your news columns of yesterday, giving an ac count ot tho senate substitute to tho Boykin bill, which substitute Iras been favorably reported to tho senate by Its agricultural committee, you give tbe Idea that tbe object and purpose of the substitute is to draw a clear cut distinction between bucket shops and legitimate ex changee, prohibiting tho existence of the former and allowing the Tatter to continue In business. This creates an entirely erroneous Impression of the object and scope of the senate substitute. The substitute does nothing of the kind. It does not draw any distinction between persons nr places, bnt applies to nil persons and all concerns engaged in deal ings on margins, whether they be bucket Bhops, Indi viduals or brokerage houseH. The line of distinction drawn by the senate substi tute Is a distinction between transactions themselves ac cording to their nature. If the transaction Is for a legit imate business purpose, it 1b law-ful, but if it is for a speculative purpose, or other than a legitimate business purpose, It Is made a misdemeanor. The courts of this, and many other states. In civil actions have for years drawn the distinction between contracts made for r. legitimate business purpose nDd contracts made for any other purpose. The former con tracts they have recognized sb lawful, but the latter'con- tracls they have held to bo void as being wagering con tracts, nnd prohibited both by statute .and by public policy. This line of cleaveage has been adjudicated upon so often that It has become a blazed trail, which the courts have no difficulty now In following. In determining what contracts are for a legitimate business purpose. Tbe substitute takes this established rule of the civil law and npplles It to tho criminal side of the court also. Under the substitute, any transaction which the civil law has recognized to be legal as being for a le gitimate business purpose. Is permitted to stand, and all contracts which the civil law has treated as Illegal a re made a mlsdi meanor. This distinction runs all through the substitute, nnd furnishes the test or criterion by which All transactions are measured. The provisions of tho substitute apply alike to all concerns and Individuals, and consequently restricts the business which may be dono to actually legitimate business. Under this substitute no Individual or concern could continue to do business unless able to support themselves from legitimate business alone. The further provisions of the substitute are Intended to make It more effectual In stopping all forms of mar ginal gambling than a mere reliance upon the penalty would do by Imposing certain conditions upon all per sons engaged In tho business of making contracts on margltls ro as to produce the following results: First To afford protection to the public by requir ing nil concerns to prove their legitimacy by posting the names of tho legitimate exchanges of which they claim to be members, and by requiring them to actually exe cute all orders received .from customers, and further to cite to customers the proof or statement to show in tic- tail the nctual execution ot orders. Second.- To further Insuro square and honest dealing by these provisions, and also by the provision that no orders shall be executed for smaller lots or quantities tban are permitted by legitimate exchanges. Third. To actually eradicate tho bucket shops by Imposing in this way on all concerns requirements with which bucket shou» by their very nature cannot comply, •nd therefore actu-uly to prevent them from bring in condition to continue business. Yours truly. J. RANDOLPH ANDERSON. Atlanta, Ga, August 8, 1906. Growth and Progress of the New South Raising Home Supplies Mr. Richard Welghtman, on* ot the editorial writers on The Washington Post, and one of Jhe best Informed men In 'the copuntry, haa been writing to hie paper of the glories of Virginia and particularly of what she has done In producing meat for home ‘consump tion. The Pott, In commenting on thle letter, say* that the -time le rapidly passing when the South will depend upon the West for Its meat* and tho North for Its manufacture*. In some places, such aa that deecrlbed, the emancipation haa already come. South ern farmers are grasping the fact that diversification of products Is not only a source of wealth, but an Insur ance against loss. They find that their own beef, mutton, pork and poultry are superior to Hie Imported meats, and oan be produced for leea money, Instead of relying upon a single crop anq sending their money sway purchase the necessaries of life, they are keeping their money at home, and raising Just as heavy crops of staples as before. 'The old notion," says The Post, that Virginia had seen Its beet days an agricultural sense Is no longer entertained. In view of the develop ments of the past decade. The ex hausting tax upon the soil In raising a single crop for years In succession led the ballet that fertility had departed forever. Nothing could have been more erroneous. New methods employed by more enterprising farmer* and tha Influx of wealthy people who were at tracted by the natural beauties of the state have wrought great changes In places, and will transform the whole state In certain directions. Virginia's horses are renowned. Why should not the state take the lead In raising fine cattle as w/llf As tor mutton and pork, the hills of Virginia should yield not only abundance for local needs, but should supply adjacent territory. Cer tatnly the quality of ham* produced in Virginia Is i unexcelled, and Wtlghtman declare* that if It be poe albte to produce more delicious mut too \han that grown on the hill* of this section, no on* has yet heard of It. "The truth Is that Virginia should become, like England, the producer of choice foods, which will compete with those from other regions not by virtue of quantity, but through superior qual Ity. In this branch of Industry all the essentials are at hand. The state U capable of turning out enormous quan titles of foodstuffs of the rarest kinds, from which greater profits may be de, rived than from much larger areas In the West. The success achieved by a Richmond woman In putting up a pe culiarly delicious kind of pickles, ob tainable nowhere but In Virginia, Is a hint of what might b* done In similar directions. It Is gratifying to letrn that the Charlottesville region, at least. Is wall on th* way toward this new development of the riches that remain In th* soli of th* Old Dominion." Whst Is said of Virginia may be said with equal truth of Georgia It Is poaslbls for the farmers ot Georgia to raise and cure htms thatVre the equal In every way of the Smlthfield va riety. The cattle upon a thousand hills should produce beef and mutton and dairy products. Much haa been done along this line already, but It Is poaslbls for us to do still more. A CHOROUS OF DEMANDS THA T CHE A THAM RESIGN Cheatham Mutt Go. From The Wilmington (N. C.) Dis patch. The yommlttee that at the instance President Harvl* Jordan, of th* Southern Cotton Association, conduct- th* investigation just concluded, has reported that Richard Cheatham, of th* association, dealt In cotton fu tures. The commlttM even finds such th* truth upon the admissions of Cheatham himself. Then tht* Individ ual must go. The character of the association and future conlldence In It demand that he be removed. Chest- ham was prominently to the front In preferring charges against the agricul tural department and wblls his con duct It not of the dishonest hue aa that which enshrouded certain ones connected with the government de- artment, yet he has not only been In- jlscreet, but has been caught red handed at gambling. H* denies that he dealt In futures for personal gain, saying that he only represented others, but even the fact that he shuffled the cards and sat with a stock of some body elsa's chips In front of him doc* excuse him. Taking for granted every syllable of what he says Is h* lends himself to a game that > not coincide with the principles the Cotton Association and against something the association has been warning Its members. Remember how the farmers who had grown reckless or thoughtless and dabbled In futures wees warned by the pres* and admonished by th* Cotton Association. Than again. If Mr. Cheat- not that •O, 1 does of ham Is a man of such poor Judgment, ot such weak determination ss to deal In cotton futures while he occupies the position of secretary of the association, h* I* not competent to longer continue in service. The resignation of Arthur A. Fair- child, manager of ths publicity bureau of the association, and who, It was shown, owned an Interest in the Pied mont Brokerage Company, has been handed In. Cheatham’s should next H* Must Rssign. From The Greenville Mountaineer. The Mountaineer is a friend of the Southern Cotton Aoaoclatlon, and has been since It* organisation. It has done all It could editorially and otber- wiM to aid the officers of the associa tion and to further the work of that body. We are still s true friend to the association and will support It Just as strongly as we have In the past. There Is no doubt In our mind that It hss accomplished much good, nor do we think Its work la finished. A great deal may yet be done, and ws advise the planters and business men still to rive'll the warm support It deserves. But we must say that It seems to us that Secretary Richard Cheatham ought to tender hla resignation. Than ar* some who, tn view of certain charges of speculation made against him, and developments at the Inves tigation of these reports ordered by President Jordan, will not give the association the same support as In th* past. Mr. Cheatham- may be all right, but he ha* acknowledged speculating la the name of another In order to ac commodate that friend. Tho associa tion has been waging war on all such transactions, nnd there will not bo tha same conlldence In It nnd Its efforts ns long as an officer is connected with It who will even "wink at" such trans actions. The aseoclatlon would better off . with another secretary against whom there Is not tho slight est suspicion. He 8hould Retire. From the Moultrie Observer. We have no doubt that the recent In vestigation of the Southern Cotton As soclatlon was demanded and prosecut ed by the enemies of the association, or at least by the cotton exchanges being opposed by the association, but some thing* were revealed that make the investigation worth what It cost. The disclosures have already resulted In one man resigning, and If Mr. Rich ard Cheatham has the.proper apprecia tion of the Importance of his conduct and the harm ho Is likely to do tho as soclatlon he will himself retire and re move the omolce nnd foul atmosphere from iround the president and other earnest and conscientious officials. A Serious Request. From the Charlotte Observer. The Atlanta Journal, a paper which has been very much Interested In the Bouthern Cotton Association when It could turn attention from the guber natorial race, has a double-column ed itorial with black face - type asking Secretary Cheatham to resign. When It Is remembered that the secretary draws 16,000 a year as salary, to say nothing of what hi- may make by dealing In futures, this Is seen to be a serious request. Th* Report Disqualifies Cheatham. From the Mobile Register. The cqmmlttee that Investigated the connection of Richard Cheatham, sec retary of th* Southern Cotton Associa tion. with bucket shop gambling lento. Is as lenient In Its treatm Cheatham aa possible, but It* condem nation Is such that It disqualifies Cheatham. Either he la deficient in knowledge of th* proprieties of hla po sition or Is deficient In moral charac ter. In either cose he ought not to be secretary of the association. May Run Broksrag* of Hit Owh. From The Columbia State. Mr. Cheatham wilt now soon have th* opportunity of running a brokerage business of his own, with no man to him nay. He will be free, white without office. In Tom Taggart’s Class. From the Birmingham Age-Herald. Richard Cheatham’s resignation should go along with Tom Taggart’s and Chauncey M. Dspsw's.

New* York, Aug. 8.—The Pittsburg millionaire Is determined to keep Jn the public eye. To the names Thaw, Corey and Hartjo Is now added Raf ferty as a purveyor of news lq the way of startling variations from tho sober American marital situation. Tho l.itest addlton t.» the Pittsburg brand • if millionaire newsmakers is Gilbert R. Rafferty, one time the "coke king.” Strictly .spfuklng, Mr. Rafferty belongs to the nuptial-trouble colony only by his proxy and Indirectly through hi* son. His handsome daughter-in-law sayfl h< r husband loved her until his father succeded in getting him to leave her and go to the Philippines as an enlist ed soldier. Tho name of Rafferty la likely to figure to a considerable ex tent in the newspapers for a while. While Laura IJIggnr Is not exactly In the class of the others, either as to being strictly a Pittsburg product or a multi-millionaire, her money, nearly a million, comes through tho Pitta- burger Bennett, and tho suit for $300,- 000 against her i>v her whilom friend and ally, may fairly be credited to tin* Pittsburg news incubator. Truly Pittsburg Is doing her full share toward the edification of tha multitude. Andrew Carnegie proposes to take no chances of having objectionable build ings erected near his Fifth avenue pal ace. That is tho reason assigned for his prompt foreclosure of a mortgage of 3100,000 on two lots owned by Con tractor Daniel Gaffney. Mr. Carnegie 1b not usually In the habit of going .around and foreclosing on little 3100,000 bits of land, and so those who knew of the procedlnga be gan inquiring for a reason today. They found it In this fact Mr. Carnegie feared that young Mr. Gaffney might build a stable, which would stare in the face of his mansion and make tbe neighborhood unsightly. The two lotfc, which were owned by Mr. Gaffney, adjoin the twin mansions of William D. Sloan and Wiliam A* Burden. Jr., who recently sued Mr, Carnegie because he had sold lota on the other side of them to General Brice. Complaint haa been made to tho health department of the discordant notes given out by the pipe organ In John D. Rockefeller's Fifth avenue Baptist church. All Murray Hill la up In arms against tho Instrument. The church la closed, but the organ send* forth discords by the hour. If hymn*, were played the rcsldenta In the neigh-* borhood assort, there would not be any* complaint, but a Jumblo of music la too much for them. y There la a row In the New York pro**, duce exchange over the cut made bjfc Douglas Robinson, brother-in-law President Roosevelt, In the scrub worn-* en, elevator men and porters employe® In tho building. Mr. Robinson cut the women's wage of 36 a week to 35.60. The women work about eight hours a day. Ele vator men who were working twelve* hours a day and have to put In onoi night a week aa watchmen, are out from, 314 a week to 312. Nor does Mr. Rob inson believe that porters working fourteen hours a day are worth 312 a week, so he has cut their pay to 910. Mr. Robinson's estimate of the value of labor, however, does not coincide with that of a largo number of the 2,500 members of the exchange, who drew up apetltlon to bo served on the board managers of the exchange re questing that the wages be restored.
