Alabama Street, Atlanta, Ga. gas OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s owning its own I and electric light plants, as it now owns its water works. Other cities do | this and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should be : done at once. The Georgian believes that if street railways can be operated sue- j eessfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can j not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it inay ! be some years before we are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOW.

Jerome for Municipal Ownership District Attorney William Travers Jerome, In an In terview given to the press on Thursday, outlines a fewr of the principles which. In his opinion, should be em bodied In the platform of the Democratic convention of the slate of Now York, which convenos at Buffalo on Tuesday of next week. He declaim without hcatllatlon nr equivocation In favor of municipal ownership of public utilities. He not only believes that the cities should own (he gas and electric light plants, hut thinks that the traction utllltlea, ''whether they be underground, surface or elevated," Should be likewise owned hy the municipality. This Is the platform on which Tho Georgian atands. It may ho somo lime heforu we are ready to take over the street car syatern, but the time Is already ripe for the acquisition of the gas und electric light plants. Tho people have been robbed and oppressed until pa tience has ceased to lie a virtue. It Is entirely practica ble for the city to own and operate the gas and electric light plants, nnd supply tho people much more cheaply than la done at present. They would not be treated with the combined Inefficiency and Insolence which now mark the service, nnd at the same time It would menn.n sav ing of thousands of dollars a year to the city and to the people. . What Is true of Atlanta Is true of every other city • In the country. There Is no more reason why they - should not own and operate their gas nnd electric light plants than that they ahould own their own waterworks. The same principle underlies them nil. And the people of the whule country aro rapidly ar riving at this opinion. The sentiment Is growing nil over j!jt)ie United Staten. -There mny be certain dlffcronqes of > opinion as to flic federal ownership of-railroads, and a ' -great many honest doubts at to whether this la the prop- . er time to agitate that question, but the country la bo- . coming almost a unit on the subjoct of municipal own erafilp. The Packers Arc Thriving. It Is a notable fact'that In spite of the sensational exiKwuro of tho meat packing Industry during the paat summer, the business of tho grent concerns engaged In it has shown a steady Increase. It Is stated that the tdflpinents of nictit during the month of July wore 10,- QQQ.OQu isnindn heavier than they were for the corre sponding month last year and GT.000.000 |iounds heavier than for the same month two'years ago. During tho first seven months of the present year the shipments of meat were more than 300.000,0(10 isninda heavier than they were daring the same period last yesr. The Brooklyn Ragle says this does not mean that the reixirts of tho falling off In the sales abroad reported during the Investigation were not true, but thnt theae Were more than overbalanced by the Increased tales of dressed meats and of hog products bought by the South In exchange for Its enormous cotton crop. There Is an Impressive lesion In this latter fact which the South ahould lake to heart. That the bumper crop of cotton was a mistake, particularly when It la taken tn connec tion with the fact that tho farmers uoglected to raise homd supplies and Itgured largely in the purchase of hog •products at the very time the Investigation wns going on, la a fact which only needs to lie stated In order that wo may catch the full Import of the status of affairs. But the moral of It all, on which we are engaged at present. Is Just what Mr. Armour confesses, that "the ef fect of the new Inspection service is fast recovering” the trade for them. We ran all recall what a furore waa raised when the charges against tho Itlg packing houses were being made and Investigated. Congress was flooded with pro tests from the cattle raisers who declared that the agita tion would ruin them. They created the Impression that If this srsndnl was not hushed tip nnd the public mind tranquillized, disaster of (he most dire kind would fall ti)X)ii the men who raise the meat npd uihiii all who are Interested In the slaughter and snle of It. But the fact Is that t£la clarifying of the atmosphere and of the slaughter bottles has given the people confl- dence In the packer which was never enjoyed before. The matter has been placed squarely up to tho agricultural department of the government. If canned goods are sent oat after October 1, bearing as they must the Inspection label of the government, nnd It Is found that the con tents are not good, the people will hold the government responsible for II. and the administration under which such Inefficiency prevails will have to answer to the people at the polls. The effect of It all should be to encourage the gov ernment In applying rigorous laws in the future to any great Industry which may require regulation. Wherever the life or health of the irnople may be Imperiled It Is the duty of the government to Interfere. There will be a storm of protests, as usual, cooked up hy the Interests directly affected, but that should be taken as a matter of course. It should be discounted at the very beginning. We have seen that this purification has served a good puriuse, even for those directly Interested, and the same would be tree again. Let the good work go on, whenever and tn whatever tarter It may be necessary. The Awful Shadow Again. Two attempted outrages within a single day, one In the Immediate suburbs, and one In the very heart of the city, bring ns face to face with the-social problem of our times once more. It adds a peculiar aggravation to theao cases to note the boldness, the audacity and the time of day In which they were perpetrated, One waa In the open daytime In the backyard of a private residence In bold defiance of possible Interference and detection, and the other, worse than the first, right In the lighted parlors and rooms of a city residence In the presence of the entire family, sav ing the man of the house, and proceeding from an as sault upon the daughter Into an assault upon the mother In swift succession. There la something more than monstrous and surely something less than human about these two assaults of yesterday. They follow fast upon the most strenuous ag itation that this city has ever known along peaceful lines for tho suppression of vice. They follow upon the most ac tive co-oiieratlon which the white race has ever bad from leaders of the negro race to denounce and condemn the crime of their race.. -They come Juat after, the addition of 30 county pullcemon and 250 deputy sheriffs to tho official law force of tho county of Fulton, and yet so far there la no definite proof that but one of these fiends has been ap prehended. Those who have families and have discussed this matter around the breakfast tables of this morning and the supper tables of yesterday, can underetand the min gled feeling of apprehension und of outrage which fills the pulses of men und women In this community. Now then, men and brethren, what are we going to do ubout these thlngB? It has been demonstrated that lynch law while It may deter In some Instances, does not by any means pre vent the recurrence of theao crimes. We havo nothing In the world to complain of tn the vigor, the earaestneaa,' and the fidelity with which the negro leaden have co- oixirated with the white man <u the denunciation of this crime. We have nothing to complain of In the vigor with which the county official! have done their part in this emergency. We have nothing to complain of In the vigor ond promptness with which private cltlxena have rallied to the help and co-operation of the several families who havo fallen under the shadow of this awful crime. We have nothing lo complain of In the prompt and vig orous action of the officers and of the law, barring the fact that at least two of these human fiends have not as yet been apprehended hy all the skilled vigilance of these sleuths of Justice In command. Yet with all of this the fact still stares us In the face that right In the capital of Georgia In a itnglo day under our quintupled police system, and under the moat auda cious circumstances, with the most astonishing reck lessness, these monstrous and unspeakable fiends have attempted their hellish crimes and have rondo an oven break with Justice In escaping so far the stern vigilance of the law. Now, then, what are we to do about It? Tho Geor gian confreaaes that It Is staggered under the weight of tho question which it asks. We only know one thing, that we cannot afford to do nothing and that wo must do something not as individuals, but as a people. The time has come when behind closed doors the thoughtful men of this community must get together and spend whatever portion of ono day or of many days may be nec essary to reason out thli awful problem, and to reach some definite line of action upon which we can all agree and upon which we can falth'fiilly cooperate. We aro up against the most serious nnd frightful phase which our civilization has ever reached. It Is no time for hysterical expression, no time for mad words of furious passion, nnd above all things no time for hasty and III considered action. Calmly, reasonably, philosophically, the thought ful men In this community should get together and study, as the problem of the hour, Just where this vile and hellish lust has Its origin and Inspiration, and Just how far tho agencies of our human civilisation can avail to halt It. Certainly we cannot fall to make the the effort to reach a solution In the combined judgment of our wisest cltlxens. There must be somewhere a germ of this noxious pestilence to be found. There must be somewhere in our civilisation the wisdom and force to eradicate It. Meantime there la not a home In Fulton county that is not dnlly and hourly under the shadow of an awful terror that Is scarcely less keen In daylight than after darkness comes to hide the criminal and his work. We are thoroughly convinced that It Is not a crime for which we can attack the negro as a race. This much has been demonstrated hy the swift responses of the ne gro leaders within the month. It Is a crime of individuals now nnd the highest exports in criminology whom we can summon to our assistance should be brought to give us their judgment and their counsel tn t'fls hour. The Georgian suggests that there could be no time or day more appropriate to the serious and earnest consid eration of this tremendous question than on 8unday af ternoon when business men are at leisure,- and when the very solemnity of the day would temper our discussions with calm and serious earnestness. Let the Courts Be Prompt. The one thing to be done In the case of these two assaults of yesterday Is to give the people a long needed object lesson of tho promptness and vigor of our courts o. justice. There are two men In the county Jail—ono a proven criminal, the other a reasonable suspect. They ought to be tried and punished or liberated In a week. The courts are on trial before the people In this matter, • They must vindicate by their swift action the argu ment and plea of the lawful-minded, or they will surel]i revive and whet the vigor and ferocity of the mob. We urge upon his honor of tho court having Jurisdic tion, to lay aside all material business and give these cases precedence -over everything else on the docket. Our .legal conditions should not hold.fpr a day longer than Is absolutely necessary, the minds and feelings of these shadowed families under the tension of horror and indignation which Justly fills their veins. If the courts will dispose of these cases In a week, they will help mightily to restrain the lyncher. If they delay nnd •hllly-shally the mob will take fresh courage and go forward In Its work. It is up to the courts now clear and sharp. What will they do about it? LAMAR HILL'S GOOD WORK—The Georgian extends Its felicitations to Mr. Lamar Hill upon the ndmlroblc way in whlch ho has borne himself during the Bryan reception as the president of the Demo cratic League. He Is perhaps the youngest man who has ever held that position in the history of this league in Georgia, and there are hundreds of bis friends who have noted with pride the combination of dignity, unselfishness, self-effacing modesty, and yet clear-headed comprehension and executive ca pacity with which this young man has.fulfilled the first public responsibility over committed to his charge. Mr. Hill comes from a noble race o fstrong men and good women. He has the blood of some of Georgia's best public servants In his veins, and we sincerely Join our best wishes to our confident pre dictions of hl3 continued usefulness and growth. Two hundred thousand copies of Winston Churchill's book have been sold. That many people would almost have secured his nomination for governor. I GOSSIP i To The Waanlngton Post: passing. Castro appears to be Wc make the suggestion. If It ran meet with public approval, thrt .be opera house, either DcGIve's Grand or the BIJou. shall be asked for a public meeting behind closed doors of all the men In Atlanta who are thtnk- earnestly and anxious - upon this awful crime. V#» ANOTHER APPEAL TO 8CRIPTURE. To the Editor of The Georgian: Your correspondent, who signs, Scotch Irish Christian," has given to your readers a charming specimen of the humor of his race. To the Initial-, cd all Is clear, and we smile grimly In recognition of his meaning. But to those who fall to comprehend his mood there comes a ready accep tance of his suggestion, to adopt the methods prescribed for a nation or pen ile for long centuries In bondage, hav- ng no places of detention for law breakers these naturally resort to ex trenie measures In dealing with offend ers. Man often apeaks and acts calling It the Word, nr act, of Ond, and placing responsibility for such word anil act upon the All Wiae-Ood. If the average man accepts the processes Indicated by your correspondent and It Is Bible teaching, having gone thus far may he not consistently go farther, and It other portions of Scripture find war rant for greater reforms and penalties In family government wc are In structed In Deuteronomy xxl, 18-21. thus: "It a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of hla father, or the voice of his mother, and that when they havo chas tened hint, will not hearken unto them; then shall hla father and Ills mother lay hold on him, and bring him unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place: and they shall say unto the elders of his city, 'This our son Is stub born and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he le a glutton and a drunk ard.' Anti all-tlie men of hie city shall atone him with stones, that he die; so shall thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear and fear.” This seems clear and concise, i If we nrcept the earlier proposition as bind ing, why not the latter? The "Hewing In piece of Agag" might furnish a remedy for present method of Imprisoning captives taken In bat tle. Indeed, much may be learned by examination of Old Testament Script ure, but to aome there will come i knowledge that a "New Gospel" has been made known to us. “A new com-, mandment give I unto you that ye love one onother."

A record time for converting grain Into bread has been established by a Canadian farmer. Wheat which was In the sheaf at 3 o’clock In the afternoon waa made Into scones before 6. When operations began a wagon stood In tho barn with about half a load of grain In the sheaf. Beside It was a thresher: connected with" this was a gasoline engine. The engine was started, the sheaves were fed Into the thresher, and the grain waa deposited In n bln. Tho power was then transferred to the cleaner, anil the work of changing the newly threshed wheat Into Hour was quickly carried through. The rest of the tu4k was eaey. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. By Wex Jones.

Thaw's obstinacy In Insisting that he Is not Insane caused a breach between him and his lawyers, and his family, alarmed at the possible outcome, sent for O’Mnro, who has great Influence with the prisoner.

Two hours later, when preparations were being made to take the body to the morgue, the "dead” man moved, and In a faint whisper, said: *'In God's name, give ine salt.” The hardened doctors sprang away, and two of the nurses screamed and al most fainted. The physicians ordered a nurse to hurry salt and water and a syringe to the patient. When the salt had been Injected Into an artery the surgeons started artificial respiration. Oxygen and serlum were Injcced, and, after two hours’ hard work the patient showed slight signs of returning life. HOCH SAYS PIT!

JUDGE HILLYER EXPLAINS WHAT HE OBJECTED TO. To the Kdltor of The Oeorgian: Your reporter did not quote mo ac curately yesterday. It was the bad pict ure In the New York paper that I was objecting to; not what was written frum Atlanta, but the libelous cartoon gotten up by some Northern man and published before and, as you say, seen sure by perhaps over live million read ers who have such wicked and de praved hatred of the South as to make them relish such things against us, no mutter how false they may be. It was the bud picture that did the harm. A great crowd of masked men, some chasing negroes with dogs; some whipping negroes, und others hanging negroes to trees. It was this bad pict ure that deserved censure. I wonder that Mr. Hearst would allow it In his paper. U will not do to say that nobody be lieves such things, especially when al leged to be of constant occurrence. Yankees and Europeans do believe nearly everything slanderous about the South. The pity of It Is that they have bc*en taught these unholy prejudices, even In the Sunday schools and in the pulpit for generations, and until they are ready to drink In any slander of the kind, and the bigger the falsehood the more they like It, apparently. Rut such things should make us stop and think. After all there are many good people In the world. Let us appeal to the good people here at home nnd at the North. Let us amend our laws so ms to make pun ishment of rapists Immediate and cer tain, and thus stop that crime, and also take away that excuse for lynch ing. The laws at the North are no better than they are here, and lynching© are Increasing there Just ©s they are here. The reproach Is less on account of the lynching© than on account of the de fect* In our law*; but most of all the blame lies with the brutal rapist who commit© the crime. GEORGE HILLYKK. Atlanta, Ga.

New York, Sept. 21—The death at Boston of Freeman Barnes, a member of one of the oldest and wealthiest families of the Hub, ends a career as strange as any Action. Barnes wns at work on an Invention and received fatal Injuries from an ex? Plosion of chemicals. For flfty years Barnes wns a recluse. At the age of ■>? he Inherited a fortune. The very next dny he married an helresH and the dav after that he started with his bride on a trip around the world. HIb wife wos swept off the deck of the ship In a storm, and. Barnes re turned hero and dissipated his fortune In a year. He wns a drunkard for aev- en years ond then he reformed. He never tasted liquor again. . He said his Invention would make him famous the world over. The ex- plosion left no clew- to the nature of the Invention. New York society Is prepared to wel. eome cordially Mrs. Theodore P. Shonts, wife of the president ,,f the Pnnnma canal commission, and the two charming Shunts twins, the Misses Marguerite and Theodora. Mrs. Hhonte Is the daughter of ex-Goverqor Fran cis Marlon Drake, of Iowa, who dls- tlngulshed himself na a general In the United States army, was the founder of Drake University, Des Moines, and who In various railroad Interests ac cumulated vast wealth: This. Inherited wealth of Mrs. Shonts has been aug mented by thnt of Theodore Slionts, who also la more than a millionaire, through fortunate Investment! In rail- l oad stocks. Chicago has been what might be called their home for years, but they have a winter home at Mobile; a sum mer cottage on a Northern lake and Innumerable trips across the Atlantic, which has made them known In almost all established social centers. Last year the twins graduated from the Mount Vernon Seminary, at Wash ington, and went abroad, where the two have been studying music, literature and the languages before making their social debut. Miss Marguerite is gift ed with the pen, while Miss Theodora gives great musical promise. At the court In June Mrs. Shonts, with her daughters, were presented by Mrs. Wbltelaw Reid, wife of our ambassa dor at St. James. They remained In London several weeks, where they en tertained frequently at luncheons and dinners, making their home at the Ho tel Carlton. They are to return to this country In November. James Burke Roche, former member of the British psrltament, Is gathering evidence to obtain a divorce In the En glish courts from the woman who In America Is tho wife of Aurcl Bntonyl, but whose Dakotu divorce front Mr. Burke Roche is not recognized In Eng land. Those w ho pretend to know, say that the earnestness with which he le seeking freedom may have something to do with his attention to cx-Senat„r Cockrell's daughter, Who is a noted beauty. Mr. Roche Is still In Paris, where he has lived ever since his unlucky trans action with thnt torpedo destroyer which he sold to Russia during the late wni and which makes his absence from England an enforced one. As regards the Botnnyla, no one not even them selves know what their future moves will be. Mr. nnd Mrs. Waldorf Aetor sailed today on tho White Star liner Cedric for England.
