Catered as seeond-claas matter April IS, 1901. at the Peeteflee at Atlanta. Ga.. oaler act of coasreaa of March A 1*79. A Notable Feat of Journalism. The arreat ot Paul O. Stenaland, who Is charged with having looted the Milwaukee Aveuue State bank, of Chi cago, adds another leaf to the laurels which journalism has contributed to the cause ot justice. It will be remembered that while the entire police force of Chicago was looking for Herlng, the cashier of the bank, a reporter for The Tribune was quietly talking to him In one of the largest parks In the city, and the an nouncement was made through the columns of that paper that the fugitive cashier would surrender himself within a few hours. What the entire police force had been una ble to accomplish the reporter for The Tribune did easily and promptly and it was due exclusively to his own ef forts that the arrest was made. But In the meantime the larger criminal had made good his escape. President Stensland was reported at various times to have been In Mexico, In Brasil and In other distant parts of the world. Some of these rumors appeared to have a basis of truth, and It was expected that his arrest would develop In the course ot a short time. But all the time a reporter for The Tribune, accom panied by an offlcer from the district attorney's offlce, was following a clew of bis own. The Inevitable woman In the case turned up. She was the "woman scorned"— one of those who felt that they had a grievance against the bank president and she did not hesitate to give a tip as to where Stensland had really gohe. The consequence waa that within a few hours the reporter and the district attorney's officer were on the trail. They followed the fugitive to England, to Spain and Anally to Morocco, where he was Anally captured and whence he will be returned to the United States, The newspapers of the country have taken the Ini tiative In a great many notable enterprises. Those of New York have done a number of things, since the days when The Herald sent Stanley to Africa in search ot Dr. Livingstone. But In recent years the Chicago papers ap pear to have had the call. The rfecord-Herald has equipped a large polar expedition under the direction ot Walter Wellman, and at the aame time has sent William E. Curtis to Russia at the very time when one of the greatest revolutionary movements of modern times was being pulled off. And now comes The Tribune which sends Its special representative half way round the world to capture the most elusive criminal of recent years. These are valuable contributions on the part ot mod ern journalism to the cause of humanity and Justice. some time since that all the weeds In that municipality would have to be cleaned up, and that Immediately Im perilled the BunAower. The state was about to be de nuded of Its most precious possession. 80. an order In council was taken to decide whether the sundower was a flower or a weed and the Anal de cision was that It was In very truth a flower. This will give encouragement to the water-hyacinth which in spite of Its beauty has been under the ban. Even the cauliflower will be holding up Its bead and laying claim to being a sure-enough flower. The pine burr. In asmuch as It has become on emblem, will want to vie with the golden-rod. All of which comes about through the ofllclal recognition of the sunflower as being what Its name Implies. But Kansas deserves this special recognition. She has been aflllcted with cranks and tornadoes so long that she deserves some compensation. As to Racial Prejudice. Were tt not for the fact that none now dlsputos the assertion that feeling against the negro Is a racial InsUnct of the Anglo-Saxon and not merely a provincial preju dice of the South, the Incidents of tumult and violence that followed the Nelson-Gans prise flght would prove a matter ot much Interest to students of sociology. According to press reports, there were In New York flvo affrays ot varying seriousness, all due to the boast ing of negroes, elated with the victory of their represen tative In the prise ring. One negro narrowly escaped bolng lynched. Violence and murder cropped out In Chicago. A drunken negro, bearing a contemptuous remark made about Qans, shot the speaker dead. While the flght returns were being received the levee district burst aflame with riot and disorder. In South Chicago, a pitched battle between whites and negroes was precipita ted, resulting In the severe beating of four blacks asd the arrest of forty men. At Keystone, W. Va„ a physician, superintendent ot a hospital, shot and killed a negro who was celebrating Gans' victory. In Cincinnati there waa a miniature riot No disorders or casualties were reported from the 8outh. The Value of By-Products. There Is a man who makes a good living by skim ming oil from the river Seine. This Is an Illustration of the value ot by-products, tho Importance of which Is coming to be recognised more and every year. The South Is the particular benefldary of one form of this economy, for the cotton seed, which used to be thrown away, now yield an annual Income of $40,000,000. The Standard Oil Company has so systematised Its business that the graphic statement Is made that If every drop of refined oil were thrown Into the sea the company would sUII make a handsome profit from the by-prod ucts. This Is doubly Illuminating. It suggests In the first place, the natural question, why should the people be re quired to pay so much for refined oil If the great monopo ly can make good money on the by-products alone? At the same Ume It teaches us an Important lesson In econ omy. Forty millions Is an Immense sum of money, ana If It tan be saved in one single Industry the question naturally arises, how much could be saved In other lines ot Industry? ‘‘Despise not the day of small things” is an adage as true today ss it was when tt was penned thousands of years ago. The Sunflower Recognized. A much mooted question has at last been settled and the people ot Kansas draw a sigh ot relief. For It has been decided that the sunflower, the Im mortal emblem of -the state, Is not a weed. During a number of years this controversy has been raging. The sunflower blooms In such prodlca! profusion out In Kan sas that tt Is difficult to think of It as being a flower at all. If It were an orchid or a Illy of the valley it would be different. It would have the element of rarity about It. But as the matter stands there are just enough sun flowers In Kansas to make It the state emblem and at the same time to make It so common that In the eyes of tile world It is a weed. At least It was a weed until the board of health took Municipal Ownership Is 106 Years Old. The Georgian Is In receipt of a communication signed ‘'JUSTICE" and filled with phrases underscored In red Ink. It Is not our Intention to use anonymous cards, but as the communication from “JUSTICE" bears A> obviously the earmarks ot having been written by a corporation member or employee, we shall refer to a few of the comments made by the unknown writer, as It may help us to throw light on a situation that Is soon to crystallite Into active measures. ‘.‘JUSTICE"—and that Is a fine old word, too good to be tailing to odds and ends of communications—asks first: "Why are you for municipal ownership? Is It be cause you see an opportunity to makeTho Georgian popu lar by getting In behind the rag-tag and bobtail, who seldom own anything besides a back-street house and a vote, and are able to scrape up Just about enough hard- earned coin to pay for a paper that panders to their social istic visions and tries to strike at the foundation of our great progress?” The Georgian Is for municipal ownership, "JUS TICE,” not only because the people WANT It, but be cause the PEOPLE NEED It; and we intend to do all In our power to help the PEOPLE GET IL The “back- street” reference of the anonymous writer Is too snob bish to require a retort; however, It might be well to say that not all of us can live upon the principal streets. Again, we have always thought that THE WORKER, WHO OWNS HIS LITTLE HOME, and keeps it, and who OWNS HIS VOTE and WONT SELL IT, was the REAL FOUNDATION of uur wealth and progress. Out of raw material worth practically nothing, he develops and de vises the commodities that sell for from tour to ten times the original value. "JUSTICE," after elaborating his attack on the voters of Atlanta and designating them ap “anarchistic in their tendencies." and “going to their destruction in their pursuit of a wtll-o’-the-wlsp." asks: What Is The Georgian standing for anyway? Is it for municipal ownership of gas, electricity or street rail ways, or all three?” Evidently "JUSTICE" does not subscribe to The Georgian any more than he does to its views, or he would know what The Georgian stands for. We take It for granted that he must have over-heard some “back- street" resident discuss our attitude favorably, or gained an Inkling of our position by glancing over the shoulder of some “vote owner" who had saved two cents to ex pend on his favorite newspaper. We reply: The Georgian stauda for the ownership of A gas plant, AN electric light plant, and control by THE CITY of whatever STREET CAR LINES may be operated over Its streets. The question of a gas plant and ot the city furnishing Its own electricity Is a simple one; the mat ter of the street car lines may be delayed for some years, but It will Inevitably come. Let us leave “JUSTICE" a moment; some ot his pbllllpplcs are about as Illuminating as the gas the city gets during the last few days .of each month. The city now owns its OWN police force, Its OWN lire department. Its OWN health board, Its OWN police station. Its OWN stockade, |ts OWN hospital and Its OWN waterworks. Is there any citisen who would vote to turn over any one of these to a private corporation? We think not. We think every cltlten of Atlanta will admit, for Instance, that THE WATER SERVICE FURNISHED BY THE CITY IS JUST ABOUT AS GOOD AS PRIVATE COR PORATION8 FURNI8H IN THE WAY OF A TELE PHONE SERVICE, A TELEGRAPH SERVICE, A BAG GAGE 8ERVICE OR A MESSENGER SERVICE. And at that we are confident that many are prepared to state that the city departments mentioned lead the water works In efficiency. For the sake of argument let us admit that the municipally owned waterworks department IS NOT AS EFFICIENT as that owned by a private corporation. We have found In recent months that the freight rate re ceived by Birmingham is far better than Atlanta's. How about the water rate? The PEOPLE OF BIRMINGHAM PAY TWO DOLLARS PER MONTH for their water ser vice, and the cltisens of Atlanta PAY sixty cents. A CORPORATION FURNISHES THE WATER SUPPLY TO BIRMINGHAM! We shall let "JUSTICE" In for a final spasm. He writes: “Municipal ownership Is RADICAL. (We put those big letters In, but it was because “JUSTICE" had three lines of red Ink under them.) It is contrary to the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States. And, again, the political corruption of American city governments would Involve Inefficient officers appointed for political reasons, and consequent mismanagement. If city officials are dishonest In their dealings with corporations, there Is no reason to suppose they would be more honorable In their management of public Industries and funds.” Now, we might dismiss these sentences from “JUS TICE” by referring him to the article from which he de liberately lifted the latter half of his second sentence and all of bis last. But we shall take It up In the reverse of the order he has written: LASTLY. We know of no corruption among local city officials. If there was you would hear from the back street” voter. A recent primary demonstrates the determination of the average cltlten to find out what he wants and to attend to IL "JUSTICE" would have you the matter up and adjudicated IL An edict went forth j lnr « r corporation officials are honest, because in some cities public officials have been proved dishonest— AND JAILED. WHAT ABOUT THE RAILROAD REBATES? WHAT ABOUT THE PACKING HOUSE HORRORS? WHAT ABOUT THE FEARFUL INSURANCE SCAN DALS? WHAT ABOUT THE GREAT BANK CRASHES, MANY OF THEM RECENT? Now—we are still on the lastly—does "JUSTICE" or any other man believe that any of the foregoing blots would have been put on our country's escutcheon It the government had owned the railroads, the packing houses, the Insurance companies or the banks. AND DOES ANY MAN BELIEVE THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD LET A SINGLE DEPOSITOR IN ONE OF ITS OWN BANKS LOSE A SINGLE PENNY THROUGH THE DE FALCATION OF A TRU8TED OFFICIAL? Would you feel safe If your money was In a postal savings depart ment? SECONDLY—We don't see how municipal ownership Is contrary to the spirit of the Declaration of Indepen dence or the Constitution of the United States. We sur mise that “JUSTICE” wrote his effusion on Labor Day and was under the misapprehension It was the Fourth ot July, hence his patriotic ebullition along this line. WE A88ERT IN ABSOLUTE SERIOUSNESS THAT THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE WA8 NOTHING MORE NOR LESS THAN A MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP MOVE. The people of this country were tired of Eng land owning it; were disgusted with having A PRIVATE CORPORATION OF NOBILITY, presided over by a king, conduct the machinery of this country; were angered by I having to pay taxes without representation. And we Lave an idea that our forefathers actually CONFISCATED their home country. AND THE PRIVATE CORPORA TIONS OWNING PUBLIC UTILITIES ARE TODAY TAXING THE, PEOPLE WITHOUT GIVING THEM REP RESENTATION; but this we shall discuss another time. As to the Constitution of the United States—we shall leave that with “JUSTICE” while we procoed to — FIRSTLY—“Municipal ownership Is RADICAL.” says “JUSTICE." Well, the Declaration of Independence was somewhat RADICAL, Judging from history, and It was followed by VIOLENCE. The Georgian Is not suggesting anything sanguinary, rather do we believe In arbitration, provided through arbitration the people can get what they want;' we were Just tracing history. Nor shall we Insist that the famous Declaration Is In effect the municipal ownership wc are seeking today; but you might think It over. But all this Is beside the question. We had just started out to mention the fact that municipal ownership In the United States Is ONE HUNDRED AND SIX YEARS OLD. This Is true. The first municipally owned waterworks was built In Winchester, Va., In 1800—just 106 years ago. Despite the fact that It Is most difficult to get the people to act In concert upon such a matter, even where they are readiest to rebel against official corruption, out of 13E plants In cities of over 30,000 Inhabitants EIGHTY- EIGHT plants are municipally owned. The Georgian directs these facts especially to those who are inclined to believe that municipal ownership Is an experiment or a fad! A BABY IN By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

Of David Crockett nearly every na tive American haa heard, and yet ot David Crockett the average American knows very little. He waa a backwoodsman who could shoot and tell funny yarns. Aa a etory teller he was Inimitable, and as .for his skill with the rifle, la It not proven by the surrender of the coon, which, when It looked down from the limb on which It lay and aaw Crockett about to lire, cried out: "Don’t ahoot. Colonel, I’ll come down!” Such la about the extent of the knowledge that the rank and file of the people have of the mkn whose career reflects oa much credit upon hla country aa any one who waa ever born upon Its soil. David Crockett waa Indeed a splendid story-teller and ona of the best shots that ever put gun to shoulder, but he wae far more than that—he was a big- brained, great-hearted, clear-aouled man, whose Incorruptible manhood made him the eternal example of all who would do the thing that Is right Crockett waa bom In the wilds of Limestone county, Tenneasee, August 17, 1766. Without education or any of the ac complishments that go along with the culture of the schools, the young back woodiman by sheer merit and brain power caught the attention ot his neighbors, nnd waa by those neighbors sent to represent them In the legisla ture—1821-1826. He did hi* work so well In the legis lature that he waa sent to represent hla state In the national congress, being elected tint In 1828, and again in 1830. While a member of congress he did little talking, but when it came to vot ing he waa alwaya on the side of “Jus tice, economy and liberty.” They laughed at hla roughshod ways, Growth and Progress of the New South Coder this bead will appear from time to time Information lllnatratlag tho. remarkablo dovelopucot of the South which deserves something more than pass ing attention. Increase in Southern Trade. The advance made laat year by the South In the mattor of commerce was the most notable In her history. She .contributed directly and In directly 40 per cent of the merchandise In the country's export trade, and handled about 86 per cent of that trade through her own porta. Of the export merchandise produced exclusively by the South, raw cotton represented <401,005,til; cotton seed oil, $18,672,870; cotton seed meal and cake, $18,078,100; naval stores, $20,075,586, and phosphate rock, 17,910,988, a total of $455,747,959. Of export goods produced In other parts of the country os well as In the South, the latter's estimated share was: Petroleum, $40,000,000; timber and lumber, $40,000,000; cotton goods, $30,000,000; tobacco, $38,000,000; provisions, $35,000,000; groin, $30,000,000; coal, $15,000,000; cattle, $13,000,000; and fruits, $3,000,000, a total of $214,000,000. To these totals should be added about $25,000,000, representing the South's share In exports of man ufactures of Iron and steel, of manufactures of wood, of manufacture! of leather and other articles originating primarily or secondarily In the South, and there Is a grand total of 1(94,000,000 as the share of the South In the 91,743,1(4,600 of exports from the whole country. Comparing the fiscal years 1(05 and 1906, the value of exports from Southern ports Increased from $555,481,203 to $640,013,000, or by $8(,6S1,- 000, which Is equal to 15.6 per cent, while from all other porta the Increase waa equal to 14.4 per cent. Comparing the first year ot the century with 190( the South makes even a better comparative showing, for during the five years the In crease In value of exports was at Southern ports from <528,084,700 to $842,- 012,7(8. equivalent to about 21.4 per cent, while In all other ports the In crease was equal to leas than 15 per cent. In the matter of Imports considerable progress Is also being made by the South, especially In comparison with the rest of the country, though Its ports are by no means handling the quantity of Incoming, goods Justified by the outward-bound movement, the healthiest commerce — that Is, healthiest for the transportation Interests and the business Interests of the ports handling It—being that In which the Incoming vessel or the outgoing train shall have freight to carry away approaching In quantity or value the freight which la the case of the steamer It Cakes out and in the case of the railroad that which It brings In. Between 1906 and 190( the value of Imports advanced from (83,051,(79 to I101,20(,14(, or by (18,152,4(8, equal to 21.9 per cent, at Southern porta, while at other ports the Increase was from tl,034,4SM92 to $L12(,167,(98, or by 190,898,108, equal to only (.7 per cent, and In the five years between 1101 and 1908 It advanced from (57,(11,418 to $101,208.148, or by (43,(94.727. equal to 78.9 per cent, at Southern ports, and at all other ports from (7(5,- 8(0,747 to 11,125,1(7,(98^ nr by 1166.(98,951, equal to 48.9 per cent. In 190( the value of Imports exceeded that of exports at Boston, New York, Ran Francisco, Chicago and other flixtricts not in the South, but Charleston and Tampa were about it's only ports of importance in the South where there was such excess- but no mother's son of them would for one moment have attempted to bribe or bulldoxe the unlettered hunter-con gressman from whut he believed to be the path of duty. "Be sure you're right, then go ahead,' was the motto of his lire, and from that motto nothing could swerve him. In the beginning of his enreer he Idol Ixed "Old Hltkory." Than Andrew Jackson there was. In hts opinion, no ? ;rnnder man, and he was prepared to ollow him to the last ditch. But th moment Jackson attempted that which seemed to him to be wrong, Crockett left him, denounced him and swore he would have no more to do with him. "I am at liberty to vote as my con science and judgment dictate right, without the yoke of any party on me, or (he driver at my heels with the whip In bis hands commanding me at his pleasure.” It took a man to brave the Ire of An drew Jackson, but Crockett did It for Jackson's wrath he did not care a “continental.” And so the rough man from the fron tier served out his four years at Wash Ington a patriot In the truest sense of the word, returning to hit conetltutente without spot or blemish, as clean os the hearts of the oaks under whose boughs he grew up to manhood. Crockett was too honest to be suc cessful In politics, and he met the fate that might have been expected—he was beaten, finally, by those who were bet- teg versed than himself In the points *bf the game. But there was one thing that the E olltlclans could not do—they could not eep Crockett from fighting for human liberty, and when the Texan patriots began their heroic struggle against Mexico, Crockett shouldered his trusty rifle and started to aid them In their glorious flght. As long as the English language Is read the name of "The Alamo” will stand forth as the synonym of heroic courage and sublime self-sacrifice. Among the defenders of "The Alamo" Crockett was prominently conspicuous. When, In overwhelming numbers, the Mexicans broke Into the stronghold, Crockett was one of the few survivors to meet them In the Anal death grap ple. -With his own hand he slew seventeen of the enemy before he was struck down. All honor to this man's memory Brave os a lion and as Incorruptible as an nngel, he was proof against all fear nnd all wrong. Would that every young man In the nntlon could read, study and "Inward ly digest" the life of David Crockett. “KEEP UP THE FIGHT.” To the Editor of The Oeorglan: I. and 1 believe every cltlxen who has the good of our city at heart, np predate your efforts to get Atlanta out ot the clutches of the Georgia Rail way and Electric Company monopoly, I hope Alderman Key will be able to do so, as far as the gas part of It la concerned. But how about the electric light port of It? Aa you truly say, the city la now paying (110,000 per year, with scarcely one-third enough lights. It It la $110,000 now, how much will tt be In five years? One hundred and ten thousand dollars la 4 per cent on about $2,800,- 000. The city has plenty of ground ot the water-works plant to establish the electric light system, and surely If the Georgia Railway and Electric Company can bring electricity from Bull sluice and Gainesville, we can bring It from the water-works. Under the law, we have a right to use the conduits and poles for municipal lights, but we ought to see that our merchants are protected should the present company attempt to get the $110,000 from them, which they lose from the city. < It Is easy to crttldse, but where la the remedy? Here It Is. Let council pass an ordinance asking of the legislature the right to Issue suf ficient bonds to Install the plant, say GOSSIP By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. Sji«v!al to Tin* Ooorglnu.
