Jerome for Municipal Ownership.
District Attorney William Travers Jerome, In an in
tervlew given to the press on Thursday, outlines a few
of the principles which. In his opinion, should be em
bodied In the platform of the Democratic convention of
the Btate of New York, which convenes at Buffalo on
Tuesday of next week.
He declares without hestltntlon or equivocation In
fuvor of municipal ownership of public utilities. He not
only believes that the cities should own thu gas and
electric light plants, but thinks thnt the traction uttlltios,
"whether they be underground, surface or elevated,"
should be likewise owned by the municipality.
This Is the platform on which The Georglun slnnds.
It may be some time before we are ready to take ovor
the street car Bystem, but the tlmo Is already rl|>e.for
the acquisition of the gas and electric tight plants. Tho
people have been robbed and oppressed until pa
tience has ceased to be a virtue. It Is entirely practica
ble for the city to own and operate the gag and electric
light plants, and supply the people much more cheaply
than is done at present. They would not be treated with
the combined Inefficiency nnd Insolence which now mark
the service, and at the same time It would mean a sav
ing of thousands of dollars a year lo 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 and electric light
plants than that they should own their own waterworks.
The same principle underlies thorn all.
And the people of the whole couutry arc rapidly ar
riving at this opinion. The sentiment Is growing all over
the United Staton. There may be certain differences of
^ Opinion as td the federal ownership of railroads, and a
. great many honest doubts ss to whether Ibis Is tho prop
er time to agltste that question, but the country Is be
coming almost a unit on the subject of municipal own
ership.
OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s owning its own ;
gas and electric light plants, as it now owns its water works. Other cities do j
this and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should be j
I done at once. The Georgian believes that if street railways <-an he operated sue- j
| cessfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can j
I not be so operated here. But we do not believe this call be done now, and it may :
I be some years before we are readv for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta j
I should set its face in that direction NOW.

The Packers Arc Thriving.
It ti a notable fact that In spile nf the aensatlonnl
exposure of the meat packing Industry during the post
summer, the business of tlin great concerns engaged In
It has shown a steady Increase. It Is stated that the
shipments of ment during the month of July wore 10,■
000,000 pounds heavier thnn they were for the corre-
sitondlng month Inst year nnd 07.000,000 pounds henvier
than for the same month two yenra ago. During the
first seven months of the present year tho shlptnontg
of meat were more than .700.000.000 imtinda heavier than
they were during the same period lost year.
The Brooklyn Kaglc snys this does not menu that
the reports of tho falling off In tho sales abroad reported
during the Investigation were not true, hut tbnt these
were more than overbalanced by the Increased sales
of dressed meats snd of hog products bought by the
Bouth In exchange for Its enormous cotton crop. There
la an Impressive lesson In this latter fart which tho Bouth
should take to henrt. That the bumper crop ot cotton
was a mistake, particularly when It Is taken In connec
tion with the fact thnt the fnrmera neglected to ralao
borne supplies and figured largely In the purchaso ot hog
products at the very time the Investigation was going on,
Is a fact which only needs to be stated In order that we
may catch the full Import of the status of affairs. '
Bui the moral of It all, on which wo lire engaged ot
present. Is Just whnt Mr. Armour confesses, that "the ef
fect of the new lusitectlon service Is fast recovering" the
trade for them.
We ran all recall what a furore was raised when
the charges against tho big 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 scandal was not hushed up and the public
inlnd tranquillized, disaster of the most dire kind would
fall niton the men who raise the meat nnd upon all who
are Interested In the slaughter and sale of It.
Bet the fact Is that this clarifying of the ntmosphere
and ot the slaughter houses hits glyen tho iteoplo confi
dence In the pucker which was never enjoyed before. The
matter has been placed squarely up to the agricultural
department of thu government. If canned goods are sent
out after October 1. bearing as they must the Inspection
label of the government, and It Is found that the con
tents are not good, the people will hold the government
resiionslble for It, and the administration under which
such Inefflcicqicy prevails will have to anawer to the
people at the pollB.
The effect of It all should be to encourage the gov
ernment in applying rigorous laws la the future to any
great Industry which may require regulation. Wherever
the life or health of the people may be Imperiled It Is
the duty of the government to Interfere. There will be a
storm of protests, as usual, cooked up by 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
purpose, even for those directly Interested, and the same
would be true again.
Let the good work go on, whenever and lu whatever
quarter 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 ua 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 was 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 roomB of
a city residence In the presence of the entire family, Hav
ing the man of the bouse, and proceeding from an as
sault upon the daughter into an. assault upon the mother
In swift succession.
Thero if something more than monstrous and surely
something loss than human about these two assaults of
yosterday. They follow fast upon the most strenuous ag
itation that this city has ever known along peaceful lines
for the suppression of vice. They follow upon the most ac
tive co-operation which the white race has ever had from
leaders of the negro race to denounce and condonin the
crime of their race. They come Just after the addition of
26 county policemen and 250 deputy sheriffs to the official
law force ot the 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 dticuBsed this
matter around the breakfast tables of this morning and
the supper tables of yesterday, can understand the min-
glod feeling of apprehension and of outrage which fills
thu pulses of men and women In this community.
Now then, men and brethren, what are we going to
do ubout these things?
It has been demonstrated that lynch law while It may
deter In some Instances, does not by any meant pre
vent the recurrence ot these crltnos. We have nbthing In
the world to complain of In the vigor, the earnestness,
and the fidelity with which the negro leaders have co
operated with the white man in the denunciation of tbts
crime.
We have nothing to complain of In the vigor with
which the county officials have done their part in this
emergency. We have nothing to complain of in the vigor
und promptness with which private citizens 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 to complain of In the prompt and vig
orous action of the officers and of the law, barring thq
fact that at least two of these human fiends have not as
yet been apprehended by all the skilled vigilance of these
sleuths of Justice In command.
Yet with all of tbls the fact still stares us In the face
that right In the capital of Georgia In a single day under
our quintupled police system, and under the most auda
cious circumstances, with the most astonishing reck
lessness. these monstrous and unspeakable fiends have
attempted their hellish crimes and have made an oven
break with Juatlco lu escaping so far the item vigilance
of the low.
Now, then, what are we to do about it? The Geor
gian rtmfrcsses that It la staggered under the weight of
the question which It asks. We only know one thing,
that we cannot afford to do nothing and that wo muBt
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 one day or ot many days may be nec
essary to reason out this awful problem, and to reach
some definite line of action upon which we can all agree
and upon which wo can faithfully co-operate. We are up
against the moat serious and frightful phase which our
civilization has ever reached. It Is no tlmo for hysterical
expression, no time for mad words of furious passion,
and above all things no time for hasty and III considered
notion. Calmly, reasonably, philosophically, the thought
ful men In this community should get together and study,
as the problem of the hour. Just wher.e this vile and
hellish lust has Its origin and Inspiration, and Just how
fnr tho agencies of our human civilization can avail to
hnlt It. Certainly we cannot fall to make the tho effort
to reach n solution In the combined judgment of our
wisest citizens. There must bo somewhere n germ of
this noxious pestilence to be found. There must be
somewhere in our civilization the wisdom and force to
eradicate It.
Meantime there Is not a home In Fulton county that
is not dally and hourly under the shadow of nn awful
terror that Is scarcely less keen In daylight than after
darkness comes to hide tho criminal and Ills work.
Wo are thoroughly convinced that It la not a crime
for which we can attack the negro as a race. This much
has been demonstrated by the swift responses ot the ne
gro leaders within the month. It is a crime of Individuals
now and the highest extterts In criminology whom we
ran summon to our assistance should be brought to give
us their judgment and their counsel In t'/is 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 Sunday af
ternoon when buatness men are at leisure, and when the
very solemnity of the day would temper our discussions
with calm and serioui earnestness.
We make the suggestion, if it can meet with public
.approval, thrt .he opera house, either DeGIve’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 unxlous - uiion this awful crime.
VJW»
Let the Courts Be Prompt.
The one thing to be done In the case of these two
assaults of yesterday la to give the people a long needed
object lesson of the promptness and vigor of our courts
o. justice.
There are two men in the county jail—one a proven
criminal, the other a reasonable suspect.
They ought to be tried and punished or liberated
in a week.
Tho courts are on trial before the people In this
matter. v
They must vindicate by their swift action the argu
ment and pica of the lawful-minded, or they will surely
revive and whet the vigor and ferocity of the mob.
We urge upon his honor of the court having jurisdic
tion, to lay aside all material business and give these
cases precedence over everything else on the docket.
Our legal conditions shpuld not hold.fpr a day longer
than Is absolutely necessary, the minds and feelings of
these shadow* d families under the ten don of horr
Indignation which Justly fills their veins.
If tho courts will dlsjtose of these cases In a week,
they will help mightily to restrain the lyncher. If they
delay and shilly-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 upott the
admirable way In Which he has borne himself during
the Bryan reception as the president of the Demo
cratic League. He la perhaps the youngest mnn who
has ever held that position In the history of this
league In Georgia, and there are hundreds of hls
friends who have noted with pride the combination
of dignity, unselfishness, self-effacing modesty, and
yet clear-beaded comprehension and executive ca-
. parity with which this young man has fulfilled the
first public responsibility ever committed to hls
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 hls veins, and we
sincerely Join our beat wishes to our confident pre
dictions of his continued usefulness nnd growth.

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 hls race. To the Initiat
ed alt Is clear, and we smite grimly In
recognition of hls meaning.
But to those who fall to comprehend
hls mood, there comes a ready accep
tance of hls suggestion, to adopt the
methods prescribed for a nation or peo
ple for long centuries In bondage, hav
ing no places of detention for law
breakers these naturally resort to ex
treme measures In dealing with offend,
ers. Man often speaks and nets calling
|t the Word, or act, of God, nnd placing
responsibility for auch word and net
upon the All Wise God. If the average
man accepts the processes Indicated by
your correspondent nnd It Is Bible
teaching, having gone thus far may he
not .consistently go farther, and In
other portions of Scripture find war
rant for greater reforms and penalties?
In family government we are In
structed In Deuteronomy xxl, 18-21.
thus: "If a man have a stubborn and
rebellious son, which will not obey the
voice of hls father, or the voice of hls
mother, and that when they have chas
tened hint, will not hearken unto them;
then shall hls father and hls mother lay
bold on him, and bring him unto the
elders of hls city, and unto the gate of
hls place; and they shall say unto the
elders of hls city, 'This our son Is stub
born and rebellious, he will not obey
our voice; he Is a glutton and a drunk
ard.' And all the men of hls city
shall stone him with stones, thnt he
die; eo shalt thou put evil away from
among you; and all Israel shall hear
and fear."
This seems clear nnd conclee. If we
accept the earlier proposition as bind
ing, why not the latter?
The “Hewing In piece of Agng" might
furnish a remedy for present method

Grain to Bread In Three Hours.
From The Kansas City Journal.
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
was mado 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 wns started, the
sheaves wars fed Into the thresher, and
the grain was deposited In a bln. The
power wns then transferred to the
cleaner, and the work of changing the
newly threshed wheat Into Hour was
quickly carried through. The rest of
tho task was easy.

JUDGE HILLYER EXPLAINS
WHAT HE OBJECTED TO.
To tho Editor of The Georgian:
Your reporter did not quote me ac
curately yesterday. It was the bad pict
ure in the New York paper that I was
objecting to; not what waa written
from Atlanta, but the llbeloua cartoon
gotten up by some Northern man and
published before and, as you say, seen
sure by perhaps over five million read-
era who have auch wicked and de
praved hAtred of the South aa to make
them relish such things ugalnnt ua, no
matter how false they may be.
it waa the bad picture that did the
harm. A great crowd of masked men.
Home cluiHlng negroes with doga; some
whipping negroen, und others hanging
negroes to trees. It was this bad pict
ure that dcaerved cennure. I wonder
that Mr. llearst would allow It In hla
paper.
It will not do to say thut nobody be
lieves such thinga, 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
been 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.
But such things should make ua stop
and think. After all there are many
good people in the world.
Let us appeal to the good people
here at home and at the North. Let
us amend our laws so as 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 as they are here.
The reproach Is less on account of the
lynohings than on account of the de
fects In our laws; but most of all the
blame lies with the brutal rapist who
commits the crime.
