A half a column will bs read, whereas a full column will be passed over by the majority of readers. The Death of Trepoff. Whst will bo the effect of the death of Trepoff? The announcement has just reached the outside World that this dictatorial tyrant, who has apparently held the czar In the hollow of his hands for so long, has passed to tho groat beyond by tho agency of natur al causes. It comes somewhat In the nature of the sarcasm of fate that a man who was so heartily despised throughout Russia, who must have been moro feared than respected by the czar himself, who has been the target for more revolutionary bombs and bullets than any man In the government sorvlce, has gone to his re ward by the laws of nature. What the history of Russln might have been If this man had died six months ago we can never know, In the very nature of things, but there Is a strong probabil ity that his passing away at an earlier period would have changed the whole history of tho world. He It was who urged the czar to a reactionary policy when the douma began to assert Its strength, and when the promises of liberty were nbout to become concrete real! ties. The grand dukes gathered around the czar were Insistent upon a reactionary policy, but none of them ap parently had the same influence with the czar ns Tre poff. He hnd shielded tho Russian autocrat so often that he had made himself almost Indispensable to his master, or at any rate had made the latter feel that such was the case. It Is safe to say that at best ho would not have lived for many years longer. The "rods" wore after him, above all men. Their whole propaganda, of late yours, was devoted to his destruction, and nothing but the un failing vigilance with whieli he hedged himself nbout could have kept him safe so long. By whatever means he may have been taken off, the czar has lost the most reactionary of his advisers, and there Is a spark of hope that a brighter day will yet dawn for Russia. It Is known that Premier Stolypln Is liberal In his sympathies. At heart he approves or many of the measures of reform for which the people of Russia are contending, but he has been imwcrtess to put them Into effect so long as his hnnds were tied by tho bureau cracy which entangled him. We shall look with Interest to determine who Is to take his placo In tho ofllclal family of the czar. Work Day For the Orphans. Saturday. 8ei*nmlier 29, will bo "work day” for tho benefit of the nrphuna of the state of Georgia. All these charitable Institutions have Joined In the request that every man In Georgia give one day's work, or Its equivalent, to some one of the orphans 1 homes of the state. These hemes cover a wide range of charity, and they take pride In assuring the public that they will allow no worthy case of charity to go by unheeded. They stand ready and willing to assist every orphan child In Georgia who may bo In need of assistance. There Is yet n sufficient period for tho date to get well fixed In the mind of tho iwople, bo that thoy may know when this memorable occasion combs, and It will then be up to them to show how much of genuine chari ty they havo for one of the most deserving classes In the state. Wo trust that tho movement will meet with tho hearty and cordial co-operation of the people at largo and that the treasuries of the orphans' homes of tho state will literally overflow as a result of this day of labor. Bear In mind the date, Snturdny, September 29. The National Dental Association. The Georgian extends a hearty welcome to the mem bers of the National Dental Association, who are arriving In the city today for an extended session. They come from every section of tho union and one and all are representative citizens and lenders In their honorable and exacting profesalon. Within the next few months thero will be many notable conventions In At lanta, Imt none of ’.era will attract men of a higher order of ability and sterling Integrity. The American dentist leads the world. It Is not pa triotism and civic pride alone which suggest this asser tion, but It Is a recognized fact In every civilized country. This Is one profession which owes nothing to the science and the maturer age of the old world. So true Is It that the American dentist Is recognized as tho leader of his profession that dishonest syndicates more thsn once have made a practice of Issuing bogus diplomas from American colleges and have sold them to practitioners In Europe, where the "American dentist" sign Is as highly esteemed as the "Made in Germany" label Is regarded in some of our most precious Imported wares. It Is the very hallmark of efficiency and skill. There will be between *00 and 7no members and their friends in the delegation which has begun to arrive and during life next three days they will occupy them selves with some of the most Important matters connect ed with their profession. The convention will have for them all the novel attraction of being the first ever held ■o far South. Indeed, this great convention has never met before south of Virginia, so the people of Atlanta are taking a special pride In having them within their gate* today. It is certain that tttelr stay will be highly profitable, and we trust that tt will be equally delightful. A Model Communication. There la a brief communication In The Georgian to day to which we direct attention for two reasons. In the flrBt place It Is an article of unusual Interest and force contributed by a man of unusual power and re search who maintains strong and fearless convictions on the great questions of the da?. In the second place we call attention to the article signed "Scotch-frlsh Christian” because the writer states whnt he has to say with great clearneBB and force. We direct particular attention to the article because Its views are stated with such commendable brevity. The moral that we draw from this communication Is the fact that If a man treating a tremendous phase of a tremendous question, can do It with such clearness and completeness within such narrow space, other men and other correspondents can state their facts In compara tively as small a apace, and we earnestly urge upon them that they study as a model, both of matter and of brevity, the article In this department today under the head of "A Strong Appeal to the Scriptures," signed “Scotch- Irish Christian.” One who reads The Georgian must have observed that we have great respect for our correspondents and are always glad to hear from them, but they must also observe that our corrcsgiondents are occupying an ex traordinary amount of space in the paper. For weeks past we have been publishing on Saturday and on Mon day a full page each day of letters from the people upon tho vital questions of today, varying In length and Im portance, but which nearly always occupy more space than a real newspaper can afford to give. We urge upon our correspondents to continue to favor us with the ex pression of their views, for this Is the people's paper, and we desire to keep open a people's forum. But In view of the fourteen columns which we have given In two days to these crowding communications, we are sure that all of our correspondents will realize tho justice of our earnest request that they endeavor hereafter to condense their communications within tho space of a half a column. This Is the best for them ns It Is the best for us. Few people read an article of a column length signed by nnythlng less than a governor, n president or an Inter national statesman, and the great majority of us when we write would do well to confine our communications to a brief space If we would havo them read and considered by the people whom we desire to reach. It Is a great : nd gratifying proof of the popularity of The Oeorglan and of the faith which the people have In It. that so many of them send their opinions to this paper, and we cordially solicit the continuance of this expression of confidence and regard. But send them In briefly, we pray you, friends, and this will give room for more opinions from other men and will make your own opinions of more value and of greater currency among the readers of this paper. of these utilities until patience has ceased to be a virtue. The entire community Is thoroughly aroused, and this conflict will be waged until the city owns and operates Its own gas and electric light plants and the people are given the most efficient service at the loweBt possible cost The Extension of the State Road. The father of the suggestion to extend the state road to the sea Is Mr. Ptromls H. Bell, a thoughtful and un selfish citizen of DeKalb county. He was the first to suggest and to advocate the Idea. The first persistent advocate of extension In public assemblies, and perhaps the ablest and most effective advocate that the movement has known, was the Hon. Hooper Alexander, a member of the legislature from DeKalb county, who has with persistent courage and great clearness advocated this proposition for the past five years, both In the public prints. In the halls of the legislature and upon the public platforms of the state. Unless we greatly mistake the history of the move ment, the editor of Tho Georgian (at that time working In another field) was the first editor of a dally paper In Georgia to give the fervor of his pen and tongue to the movement. Advocating It In the columns of a dally paper and speaking upon the hustings In Its behalf. Our recollection Is that The Constitution came next, with an editorial indorsement which Is reprinted In Its issue of Tuesday. Now to Join these forceB comes The Atlanta Jour nal, which with great earnestness, and with much ability Is the latest and by no means the least Important ad vocate of this great cause. It Is remarkable that this admirable movement now so perfectly clear and so thoroughly logical was for a long time looked upon as a chimerical scheme without practical basis to commend It. Its first advocates were treated with the Indifference of silence. Us second ad vocates were laughed at as impractical theorists. But step by step, the movement has grown until its able ad vocates are now scattered In various Influential centers throughout the state and the press of Atlanta Is practi cally a unit In its behalf. The common sense of this proposition Is too self- evident to noed elaboration or argument. A great line of railroad traversing the state from Its northern border to Its southern seaports and under direct control of (he commonwealth, must necessarily bo a source of protec tion against arbitrary treatment on the part of other railroads, and a source of profit and of strength to the citizens of Georgia. The only objection which has over Impressed The Georgian to this g.eat scheme is the fact that at Chat tanooga, which Is Us northern terminus, the state road would meet a host!!# combination of railroad Interests from whom It could not reasonably expect any willing contribution to its volume of freights, anu unless some new connection could be made at that point with roads not interested In the destruction of this state competi tion, or unless the deepening of the Tennessee river would afford us water ' ransportatlon to the Mississippi, this would seem to be an objection worthy of consider ation. But we are thoroughly confident that the Btate would be able with Its vast forces, both of Influence and of fi nance, to remove this objection and to establish connec tions at Chattanooga which would give to us our full share of the through freights and traffic of the central states and of tho West. Meanwhile The Oeorglan expresses Its great pleasure that this great scheme of protection and of development has progressed so far out of tho realm of the unpopular and the Impractical, that it has now become a vital, and we believe, a most hopeful issue In tbe political and legislative discussions of the next few years. We congratulate Mr. Bell, of DeKalb, upon the grow ing tangibility of the dream which he has so long and so unselfishly had In his mind. We congratulate the Hon. Hooper Alexander upon &n exceptionally able and earnest advocacy which has converted to his view the three newspapers of the capital city of Georgia and has impressed Itself so favorably upon the commonwealth. And we earnestly invoke the thoughtful and fearless consideration of the next legislature and of all patriotic people In Georgia to an earnest and favorable considera tion of this great scheme which means so much to the people and to tne state. | gossip; “The Jeffersonian.” With Thomas E. Watson as the editor of The Jeffer- sonlan at Augusta, and Charles E. McGregor, of Warren- ton, associated with Major Henning, of The Augusta Tribune, as co-editors, there should be some sound and eloquent essays upon libefty and Democracy of the elder type within the coming years. It Is good for the eyes of mutual friends to see these three staunch friends, not long since threatened with estrangement, joined once more in good fellowship and good works. Thoy are sensible men who refuse to be parted by the transient divisions of politics, and shallow Indeed Is the friendship which esnnot survive a difference of opinion. The Jeffersonian of Watson and Henning and Mc Gregor should be a great paper and will doubtloss begin with a great list of Georgians and old-time Democrats In other states. AN APPEAL TO SCRIPTURE 70 JUSTIFY LYNCH LAW Give Us a Good Commissioner. The office of county commissioner Is one of the most Important public duties and responsibilities that fall to a citizen. . It Is more Important now 1 than ever before In the history of Atlanta because the city nnd county are con stantly growing. Their interests are multiplying, their necessities are developing, their roads, revenues, police arrangements, etc., are assuming larger magnitude and Importance evory year. This, too, Is the growing |>orlod In the history of Ful ton county, and n period of growth Is one In which things are done, changes made and policies established. For this reason It la to the last degree Important that the people who have votes In Fulton county should carofully consider the men who asplro for their suf frages for commissioner, nnd should carefully nnd firm ly choose that man whose business experience has been (he largest, whoso business repute hns been the highest nnd whose Intelligence and proven capacity In tho public servlco Is not a matter of conjecture. We trust that this will he the spirit with which tho electors will enter u|ion this county election, and wo only urge that overy citizen, both of tho city and of the county, who has the Interests of the county at heart, should come nut to the polls and cast a straight, clear and intelligent bnllot for the man whom he knows to be the best, the wisest, the cleanest and the most capable man. Up to the presont stage of announcement, wo know no.man whose experience and training better fit him for this responatblo position tlinn Robert F. Maddox. . An Irrepressible Conflict. Ftory day of this campaign of education brings the people more nnd more to the definite conviction that there Is no solution of our difficulties except In the munic ipal ownership and operation of tho gas and electric plants. The theory of municipal ownership has become so well established In practice that It no longer admits of reasonable doubt. Tho actual experience of those cities which havo tried It furnishes the most convincing ex ample of the efficiency of the plan. It hns long since passed beyond tho experimental stage and hns come Into tho domain of an exact sctenco. We know that a munic ipal government Is able to operate lla own gns and elec tric lighting plants more cheaply nnd more satisfactorily, so far as the people are concerned, than private corpor ations do tbe work, nnd public sentiment. Is crystallizing In Its favor every dny. There seems to be something In tho nature of tho business which makes it subject peculiarly to oppression ami abuse when It la In the hands of private Individuals. Those corporations appear to entertain the sentlmelt of Mr. Vanderbilt that the public may "he damned” so far as they are concerned. It Is a question of pay thetr prices and submit to their abuses nnd extortions or hato the sorvlce Incontinently cut off. This has been done tn a number of Instances which have been brought to the attention of our renders, and wo have no doubt but whnt there are hundreds which have never been rnado public. The people who are sub jected to these oppressions are no doubt even afraid to complain. If they make known their grievances they may have the service cut off without a moment's no tice. Reasoning by anologv. there Is no reason or. earth why the gns and electric light utilities should not be op erated as successfully as the waterworks, and wo all know what a saving U effected by the latter. This crusade has gained good headway and the peo ple are determined that il shall not end until something definite has been accomplished. We have Buffered under the arbitrary ouuresslon of the present private ownerahln To the Editor of The Georgian: Almost every day some white woman Is assaulted hy a black brute, and fre quently there Is a lynching therefor. Some denounce such punishment of this fiendish crime as very wrong: others defend It as exactly right. When good men differ they ask their Bible to decide. Does the Word of God say nnythlng about rape; about the penalty therefor and the manner of Its Infliction? The BJble gives three Instances of rape, In two of which the divinely pre scribed penally of death was Inflicted by a brother’s hand. In the other case the penalty was Inflicted by a mass of Indignant people, and it received the approval of tho Almighty Himself. This case only Is pertinent to our question. In the twentieth chapter of Judges God gives the successive steps In the pun ishment of rape by IBs people and under His direction. 1. In verse S the fearful crime Is stated. 2. In verse 6 wo are told of the ghast ly manner In which It was made known to the people. 3. Verse 13 recounts the demand of the people for the rapists, that death upon them might be Inflicted Immedi ately—without tho wicked delay that unprincipled lawyers secure. | 4. In verse 13 we have also the re fusal of the tribe, In whose custody the rapists were, to deliver them up for Im mediate execution. 5. In verso 14 the soldiers were sent to kill any of the people who tried to punish with death the flends wljo had outraged the poor woman. 6. Verse 21 tells that these soldiers did murder some of the people. 7. Verses 47 and 48 tell how the rap ists nnd those who defended them were punished for their Iniquity. Except 800, who escaped to the wilderness, the peo ple UNDER GOD'S DIRECTION slew- all of the tribe of Benjamin—not only the vile rapists, but also the men who procrastinated or refuse:^ to deliver them up for Immediate punishment. Now Ihree questions: 1. If the Bible does not Instruct us In moral questions, then what Is the Bible for? 2. If Judges, twentieth chapter. Is not written for our Instruction In cases where this most fiendish of all crimes Is committed, then why Is this chapter tn the Bible? 3. If God demanded Immediate pun ishment when a white woman was raped by white men, will He demand anything less when a white woman Is thus treated hy a negro brute? SCOTCH-IRISH CHRISTIAN.

He 'must be dead, that friend of long ago, • The good, the wise "Pro Bono Publico." And where art thou? for every virtue pleader, Friend of my youth, O, long-lost "Con stant Reader." —VERITAS. To the Editor of The Georgian: Mr. Bryan In quoted ns favoring state ownership of feeders and government ownership of trunk llntt railroads. This system Is a divided authority and like our system of stnte and Fed eral jurisdiction, is productive of con fusion and disunion. If this dual Idea is good, then county ownership of feeders nnd state owner ship of grand feeders to the Federal trunk lines would be good, for the counties are to tho state what the states are to the Union. The trouble with private ownership of railroads Js not so much on account of the otvners a. It Is with tho' ship pers. The struggle between the shippers for enriching themselves Is the prlniu facie onuse of the corruption In rail road management, If such exists. The Idea of corruption is simply a matter of who gets the money, us this Is what the great majority of shippers are after. It the government owned the rail- roads and Individual corporations and Individuals owned the goods shipped, the government would be In the line of corruption from the shippers, Just as I: Is now, for the money to corrupt Is In the goods shipped, and not In the own ership of the railroads. Manufacturers of glass In St. Louis and manufacturers of the same In Pittsburg can not have an equal show r In trans-atlantle business, unless the rallronds discriminate In rates or make rebates In favor of the St. Louis par ties. If tho railroads can not, or are not permitted to do this, then nil manufac turers would be confined to the sea board. In the case of domestic distri bution, unless discrimination or rebutc Is allowed the manufacture of all ar ticles would be confined to one central point, from which tho rates would be the same. Thus the law, if prohibiting discrim inating rates and rebates, Instead of nldlng anil a Issuing small and scattered Industries, will make concentration nt Home central point a necessity, ho that all would faro alike In rates. This same result would be brought about In the production of ratf material, nnd will result In concentrating produc tion In the rich regions, and the Isola tion nnd stagnation of the less favored sections. Tho railroad owners know all these things, nnd hence the law was passed with their consent, for It Is In the direct line of trust production ami distribution The law which the people demanded and the commission which goes with It, shows that the economic question has forced the people into Indorsing cen tralism! government and trustlsm. The law of overreach Is a centrailzed Ides, ami all business, large or small Is conducted on this line. Tills boll of Individual overreach must cornu to a head, and the over reach or corruption he expelled. What the people see and feel that they need necessitates that the government own the goods shipped ns well as the rail roads. Then Mr. overreach, the cor ruption fund orgnnlzcr, will be out of business. The government then can manufac ture all things at the most convenient places, anil distribute them without dis crimination, and at tho same price everywhere, since the expense of transportation would rone out of the general fund of the government, which will he derived front the sale of all merchandise to the people, not to a part of the people, hut to ah 1he people By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER.
