Georgia’s Tardy Remembrance of Oglethorpe. • Surely Georgia ha* done a tardy but appropriate thing In setting aside $15,000 to preserve the memory of James Oglethorpe in bronze. It would be scarcely n pardonable thing If Georgia at this advanced period of It* civilization. Its greatness slid the most prosperous time It hns ever seen In Its long And Illustrious history, should hesitate for one moment to expend its money In an enduring tribute to.the states man, soldier and philanthropist .who founded the com monwealth and gave It Ita Impetus toward the great history which It has recorded. The age la material, but the age will become Igno ble when It mocks at sentiment, at the tradition* of the commonwealth, and at men worthy either of glory or of prosperity; wlipn If forgets Its noble and heartful obli gations to those who have done the most for It* life and for Its history. It was a noble and a gallant thing to remember the chlvalrfc Gordon of our later days, and the hearts of Georgians rejoice at the appropriation and applaud the legislature which sei apart this money for his name. But It Is still a more timely and appropriate thing that j Georgia should reward that Immortal Englishman, that first Georgian, greater than Gordon and more memora ble than any Georgian of modern times, who founded upon the banks of the Savannah the commonwealth which has grown to lie the empire state of the South. It Is a fact not generally known that outside of a modest shaft at Frederica, there Is no monument to Ogle thorpe In the state of Georgia. Amt this Indeed Is a shameful fact. It Is a comment most damaging to the patriotism and the sentiment of the state that our found er and our benefactor and the very greatest man in our history should have been left unknown to bronze and unemhalmed In memory through ail these years. Georgia Is tardy beyond expression In not having erected long ago a monument to .lames Oglethorpe, ft Is time yet to redeem the serious and most rrlmlnnl omis sion, and we are sure that the state will be glad, and that Ihe governed will rejoice to affix his signature to Ihe bill passed by tile legislature. If (be editor of The Georgian stood In the governor's shoes nml belli the ex ecutive pen In his hand, he would write beneath Ids sig nature to the bill making the appropriation the words: "This appropriation should have been doubled or trebled by the body that made It." The statue of Oglethorpe to he erected by the $15,000 given- by the slate, attd the $10,000 guaranteed by the city of Savannah, will stand ns the property of Geor gia. It li not generally known that every putillo square In Savannuh belongs, not to the city, but to the state. When the city was laid off these squares were establish cd by Oglethorpe, not for pluces of recreation, but for places of defense from tho enemies In South Carolina and the Spautards In Florida. The outlying townships were given the same names ns the squares so that the townships' Inhabitants In time ol danger might flock to the forts In the squares whose names they bore. By the act of 1760 It was decreed that these public squares might be used by the lot-holder* adjoining for plares of recreation. But a subsequent net of the courts declared tome thirty years ago that these squares still belonged to the state under Ihe original act and puriiose of James Oglethorpe. The James Oglethorpe alntue will he placed In Chip pewa Bqunrc just opposite the o|>ern house and In the center of the city of Snvnntmli. When It la com pleted both the square and the statue will he tho prop erty of the stnte of Georgia, and will stand hs a tardy but noble expression of the grutftudo and appreciation of a great people toward the soldier, the statesman and lb* philanthropist to whom they owe their highest obliga tions and their moat loyal and grateful memories. the fact that the typhoid months are upon us, should be a sufficient Incentive to our people to take those pre cautionary measures which are certain to reduce the number of cases to the minimum. The fall of the year Is a very beautiful season, wlth lts flaunting banners ol crimson leaves, but It Is the season of decaying vegeta tion. and therein lies the danger. Clean up. Mr. Brantley’s Interesting Views. • To The Georgian the race question Is the profoundest Issue in our Southern civilization, and wherever It occurs It enlists the deepest interest and concern of thU news- The Typhoid Season. The season of the year has nrrlved when tho mor tality from typhoid fever and malaria Is highest. We have In mind no specific violations of the city health regulations, either on the part of officials or tho cltliens In general, hu^ the months of August, Septem ber and October so distinctly lend all other months of the year In the mortality from those diseases that wo are Impelled to sound a timely note of warning and urge upon the peoplo of Atlnntu to put their premises In tke best possible sanitary condition. There Is no contin gency In life where the proverbial ounce of prevention Is no well worth the iiotind of cure ns In the matter of san itation, and this is especially true at this season of the year. In order that the dangers of this and the two suc ceeding months may lie fully realized, In this re*|iect, we draw from the mortality statistics of the Census Bu reau. Just Issued for the five year period ending with 1904- No one will accuse ns of lack of patriotism If we make If known. In the Interest of the- general welfare, that while the mortality In the United gtutes from all diseases Is the smallest In the World, with tho excels '.Ion of Norway and Sweden, the mortality from typhoid fever Is higher here than In any European country ex cept Italy. As the director of the census well |>olut* out ' "there Is room for a great Improvement In the applica tion of well known measures for the prevention of this disease.” The smallest number of deaths from typhoid fever is In the’month of June, and the mortality ts not great In July, but with the coming of August the denths be gin In earnest. • The tables from which we quote show thnt out of every 1,000 deaths from typhoid fever 63.7 occur In June, 69.6 occur In July, while 103.7 occur In August, 119.6 In Septemoer and 118.6 In October, after which time tho average begins to decrease again. As a matter of fact, Atlanta has been showing a steady decrease in the number of deaths from typhoid fever during the last four years of the five year pe riod reported, the proportion falling from 77 per 100.000 of population In 1901 to 69 In 1902, 66 la 1901 and 60.9 in 1904. So It ts a matter of gratification that the dls- mt Is already on the decrease here. At the same time, Its appearance In the present campaign la compar atively incidental and la to a large extent unfortunate. It la to he regretted that this mighty question which demands the freest, fairest and most unbiased judgment of our people should be complicated and handicapped with the bitterness and the partisanship of a factional campaign. Wherever the Isbiic occurs. The Georgian can do no less than declare Its whole heart for any movement $hat seeks-to establish either In whole or in part one of the great principles upon which our minds are settled and fixed upon the race problem. We desire supremely as an act of far-seeing statesmanship, ns a sedative to present conditions, nnd as a preliminary to any final settlement, that the relative status of the races shall be fixed In this Southern country by statute and by public opinion. Wherever any phases>f this question Is presented to the people of Georgia It should be answered freely and fully nnd definitely along the lines of this proposition. We ennnot afford to go backward. The difficulties are too great about us. The dangers are too menacing, the future hangs too much In Ihe balance of any-public de cision or pronoun.ement which we may make. We sim ply cannot afford to take any backward step now or at any time In the solution of this great matter. The Issues of the present campaign are subordinate and the personalities of the present campaign are com pletely overshadowed by the transcendent weight and significance of this mightiest and most vital of all our problems. The Georgian has been much Interested In the recent comments of Congressman Brantley, of the Eleventh district. We have much respect for Mr, Brant ley. We esteem him to be a gentleman of ability, of char acter and pf personal dlgulty. We havo been struck with the fact as reported In the dally papera that Congressman Brantley declnres himself heartily nnd unhesitatingly In favor of disfranchisement, although he fiercely opposes the candidate running upon that platform, and explains Ihe inconsistency upon the theory that he does not be lieve the method of disfranchisement proposed by that candidate Is either constitutional or effective. We accept this statement at Ita face value and note It with respect. The Inconsistency from our point of view consists In tho fact that Mr. Brantley Is himself a law yer and realizes that verdlcta are rendered by weight of evidence from reputable witnesses. And we submit to Mr. Brantloy's Impartial consideration the fact that the vnst weight and preponderance of evidence In this case rests with those active aim distinguished citizens of Ala bama, Mlaalsalppl, Virginia, Ixmlslana and the Carolines who declare thnt the dslranchlsement laws of those states jinvc worked beneficently to tho purification of pol itics nnd to the safe establishment of white supremacy. There are, Indeed, some single citizens of a private station, nml one or two men of public station In those slates who have taken an opposite view. But we are quite anre that Congressman Brantley will not deny that the great hulk of the testimony (rum public men who are In n position to know anil to understand, rests with those who |iolnt to these states as object lessons of the le gality and effectiveness of the disfranchisement law now advocated In Georgia. If ten men In any state have critl clscd the law or questioned Its operation, a hundred mop In better position to know hnve Indorsed the law In all Ita workings nnd have declared that these states would protest by a two-thtrds or a three-fourths vote, any prop osition to change these statutes without the substitution of a better one. . We 'julmiit to Mr. Brantley'a consideration that the whole weight and preponderance of evidence la In favor of the disfranchisement laws In operaflon In our slater states, and thnt the objections to It are sporadic and, comparatively speaking, unrepresentative. For tho rest, we take Mr. Brantley nt his word, nnd hollevlng him to he, ns he says he la, an ardent nnd un qualified advocate of disfranchisement, we submit to him thnt It would he wise nnd statesmanlike for Georgln to pass now definitely nnd emphatically upon this general question while It Is so clear an Issue, and to trust to him and to other statesmen of the state to perfect In the framing nnd execution of this law whatever methods we may derlvo from onr own thought and study and from any defects which exist In the laws of our sister states. The grant Issue Is to let Georgia speak definitely nnd derisively upon this Issue. Let the state nnd the people put themselves upon record. Let us put this Issue once ami for all behind us and trust to the wisdom, the sa gacity nnd tho patriotism of the stato and Its statesmen to execute It In wh.doin. Justice nnd moderation. All other questions nml all other personalities sink Into Insignificance beside this transcendent Issue. ity as that In question should be encouraged, where these little children are kept on the streets singing and beg ging when they ought to be at home'In bed. At any rate the matter has now been brought defi nitely to the attention of the people and of the officials of the city. The situation, It Is agreed. Is one which calls for prompt and efficient attention, and this we be lieve It will receive. The Atlanta Georgian has rendered the farmers of the South a distinct service In stirring up that Cotton Association crookedness—Rome Trloune. Our honest motive was to serve, and it pleases us to havo The Tribune, one of tho very staunchest of all the friends of the Cotton Association, to say that we have served this great body well. Four Days More. Twenty-seven columns in The Constitution about Clark and Hoke. Twenty-six columns In The Journal about Hoke and Clark. And these be dog days! Sirius, the dog star, blazes In the sultry skies, and Mars, the martial planet, has swapped places with the tranquil earth, type of public life. They arc men of honor, of unusual culture, elegant manners and of unimpeached Integrity upon public and private questions. They have reflected great honor upon their constituents, and have represent ed their great city and county with its vast Interests Of commerce and of civilization with distinguished dignity and with equally distinguished ablHty. The state of Geor gia has lost In these gentlemen two of Its most capable and patriotic public servants, and, although the exigen cies of the current condition of Chatham politics have re tired Messrs. Stovall and Anderson from the present arena, we cannot forbear to day to them In parting not goodbye, but "an revolr.” The Atlanta Georgian wants, the lobbyists curbed, ' but advises fairness to vested Interests. That sounds very much like tho East Tennessee politician who wanted a dog law that would protect aheep and at' the same time safeguard the Inalienable right of a. voter to own a dog.—Chattanooga News. Well, why not? A man has as much right to own a dog as another man to own a sheep. If the dogs begin to kill the sheep the dogs should bo muzxled—that's all. The state does not want honest legislation affected, by the pernicious activity of the lobby, But no honest state would care to turn over the interests of vast properties to prejudice and demagogy. When the lobby la offensive curb it by statute and restraint. But do not oppress [GOSSIP! Four days of strenuous politics and then comes the proper ty i„ answer to faction or demagogy. The detsruc- calm that follows after strife, and the wounds that are the aftermath of battle. Let us all brace ourselves and bear It as best we can. And let us all highly and herdiicatly resolve that If ever a lot of candidates come before us again with such tactics and with snch a spirit, that we will as a people spew .them out of our civic mouths and scour the woods for dark horses to receive the honors of our Indig nant people. It will be time enough to fix the responsibility for thl. campaign of billingsgate when the battle Is over. But soon or late. It ought to be fixed and remembered— and forgotten. Hon. John Temple Graves, "as a member In good standing of the Red Cross Society of Georgia Poli tics,” is standing on the Great Highway and seeks to |K>ur olf on the seething waters of journalistic de bate which have been dashed Into a perfect fury of late by the Hon. Tom Watson nnd the Hon. C. R. Pendleton.- He would have these "noble Georgians” restored to "friendly relations" w th each other. Why does the Hon. John Tomp. go so far from home to attempt pacification? He Is having a rough house of the roost variagated variety right under bis very nose in Atlanta, ft he can do something toward sup pressing the Hon. Hokesmlths and Clarkhowells and retainers he will then have a right to start some thing modest In the way of restoring Tom Watson . and Editor Pendleton to fellowship.—Spartanburg, 8. C.. Herald. We are simply practicing peacemaker on Pendleton and WatsAn. This Is a business that requires Infinite skill and experience. When we get up nearer to the standard of the expert we will go out after Clark and Hoke. The Sfreet Orphans. The ontlre community will sustain the mayor and the officers of the benevolent Institutions of the city in putting a stop to the unseemly nnd demoralizing siiectacle of a score of tots singing nml begging on-the streets dur ing those hours of the night when they ought to he safely In bed. If Is regarded as unfortunate thnt there nppeara to he no law directly covering the case at this time, to the full est extent, hut It-certainly lies In tire power of the mayor to see to Jt that -these children are taken off the streets, Invest igntlon showed that these children were being cared for ill a self-styled orphanage, where, It was dis covered. there was not enough food for the children, much less for the able-bodied care-takers, that there was no adequate' system of religious Instruction, as had been claimed, and thnt the total regular Income for the sup port of the children nnd the adults In chnrge of them, outside of street begging, was alx dollars n month and a few dotintions of provisions. In short, the alleged orphanage has no regular nnd recognised status, nnd at the same time V. Is felt thnt a great wrong Is belt** done these ehlldren of tender years by bringing them out nightly on tho streets to sing and beg. As City Warden Evans |sdnts out, Atlanta s|>ends large sum* every year for the care of orphans In organ ized homes, outside of the aid given by the county, and some arrangement should be made for properly provid ing for these children through the homes supisirted by thesp funds. Atlanta Is a great and prosperous community. Her heart has always been In the right place, and she has ninny* re*|H>nded to every worthy appeal for charity. We do not believe that It is wise or bcqcflrial that such char- 8tovall and Anderson.—Members of the present leg islature have expressed a very general regret over the retirement of Representatives Stovall and Anderson, of the county of Chatham. Few members of the present lower house of the general assembly havo been so uni versally populat and respected as these distinguished gen tlemen. Messrs. Stovall and Anderson represent the highest tion of the lobby lays upon legislators an added obligation to be fair to vested Interests. Isn’t that clear? The Atlanta Georgian, whose preference, If It has any. In the gubernatorial contest In Georgia, we do not fcnow, has a cartoon “In the Stretch—The Finish In the Georgia Gubernatorial Stakes as It- Looks.” This shows Hon. Hoke Smith to be considerably In the lead, with Editor Clark Howell second and the three or four other aspirants, Including the ever-pos- slhle dark horse, bringing up the rear like the steam calliope In the circus parade. Mr. Smith has all along appeared to be In the lead, but this statement Is not near so Important aa the assertion that the contest ts soon to end.—Charlotte Observer. We are seeking to be cheerful, brother, and nothing that we can say to this people In this campaign gives them so much comfort as the assurance that It will soon be over. The August number of The W'orld Today reproduces Artist Brewerton’s rate bill cartoon, "It’s a Wise Father That Knows His Own Child,” as among the most nota ble brought out during the discussion. Mr. Brewerton’s work Is receiving a great deal of admiration all over the country. Some folks will say now that they know where the funds came from to start The Georgian. It la about rime for Colonel John Temple Graves to be putting In bts denial.—Wilmington, N. C., Messenger. No, we will make no denial. We still brasenly confess that the funds came from Mr'. Fred L. Seely. Editor John Temple Graves picked a mighty good time to stnrt his new Atlanta paper.—Nashville (Tenn.) Banner. Any time Is a good time to start a good paper.

Money in Truck Farming. The Columbia State recently called attention td the enterprlae of • Charleston man, who planted 32 acres of ground In Colleton county In po- tatoen, from which he realised n net profit of $14,000. Thin led The Charleston News nnd Courier to dilate on the produet- IveneMH of the count section that mat© nnd gave an Instance where one fnrmer last yenr cleared $30,000 from hls crop of cabbaged, which he raised neur Charleston and shipped to Northern markets*. The Tradesman Mya that If these Instances were not stated on such reliable authority they would be deemed incredible, but thgre are evldencea on every hand of the great profit* that are derived from truck farming.' From one nhtpplng point In southwest Texas there wan realized during the present Henson $250,000 from Berumda onions. An Italian renter In the Mississippi delta cleared $15,000 last year by raining pepper, which he ahlpped to the great packing firm* in Chicago. The strawberry crop around Chattanooga thla year netted the raisers over $300,000. Cullmnn county, Afabnma, was settled In the '70’s by a colony of Ger mans. nnd It waa then the poorest portion of the state, while today It la one of the moat flourishing counties In Alabama—and all accomplished through truck farming nnd fruit mining. Hut such 1h the soil and climate of the South generally that vegetables of nil kinds are easily raised, and these contribute so much to the economy of life that the wonder la there should be so many who flock to our towns nnd cities, 'only to eke out a miserable existence when they could live In comfort on a very email tract of land In the South. The TradeHman wishes to see concert of actlpn among those who con trol public sentiment In the South for a movement back to the farm, as a policy of development for this section. It Is a fact easily demonstrated, and clearly shown from the few Instances given above, that there la money to be made In truck farming, and as thla does not require very much of an outlay to begin with, few there are who need go hungry in the South when such means of earning a livelihood exist all around them. Here, says The Tradesman, Is a held for the thrifty Immigrant that Is not equaled elsewhere, nnd here Is a field for our own sons that should be kept before them In Its true attractiveness, until a more thorough apprecia tion is created for the Advantages of a farm life, and more of our native population become wedded thereto. - GEORGIANS IN GOTHAM.

Depen- might not be able to give George Hackenachmidt much „f an argument on the mat, but he is he veloplng Into a pretty fair wreatler at that. It has been asserted thnt he was under the care of William Mul. doon, the noted - trainer, but the t rut h came out when the senator's chauffeur was arrested In Yonkers for fust driv. .Vhen hls Improved health was corn mented upon. Senator Depcn- admit ,t with something of hls old-time | u that It was due to the pounding,, had received at the hands of Wre.tier Muldoon. Tlie senator went to Mul doon’s place last. December after . complete breakdown and Muldoon « taught President Roosevelt sonte’ new tricks In boxing, has had him In hand ever since. • u It 1* said the senator has hnd t„ use ring machines, punch the bag and i eam to box. He haa had to walk evert- day In the open air, to take long breaths In the morning and eat and drink only what the wrestling teacher ordered The senator does not live at White Plains, but goes there every day f.,» hls exercise. Of course we all know that the Gaek- war of Baroda was simply expression hls Ignorance of the truly beautiful when he said the American woman not pretty. It is nevertheless gratify. Ing to have another distinguished orl- entnl visitor point out the Indian ruler's lack of taste. Kang Yo Wei, president of the Chinese Reform Association, be fore he sailed.for Europe, said: "The Gaekwar Is all wrong. The Amerlcai) type of womanhood Is the finest In the world. I hojie some day reformed nnd awakened China may- have \yomen like American women, In form nnd In the face os well, as the American women seem like—what you call nngels.” Mr. and Mrs..Trask, abandoning their beautiful country renldence on which more than $1,000,000 has been spent In fitting it with everything that luxurl. ous taste could suggest, will spend the summer In a canvas tent on n little Island on Lake George. Mrs. Trask was attacked by an affection of ihe heart and physicians advised the open air cure. Tents Were erected In the grounds of Yeddo, where Mrs. Trask could spend the day In the air. The results were so favorable that It wns decided Mrs. Trask could lire ms- doors entirely this summer, nnd one of the little Islands In Lake George has been selected. Another startling departure hns been taken by the Long Branch "summer girls”—that is, those of them who are proud of their limbs. The new wrinkle la to go In the surf not with half hose or socks, but with no covering from the knee down. Of course, sandals are worn, because the sand and shells don’t respect even the daintiest of feet or the pinkest of toes. The stocklhgless bathing girl has created a sensation, and may be held responsible for the lookers at ihe beech. Of course, the more conserva tive bathers are shocked by the depart ure, and are accused of fearing com parison. • REGRET."” By I’rlvnte I.eased Wire.
