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. and 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. Two hundred thousand copies of Winston Churchill's book have been sold. That many people would almost have secured hls nomination for governor. ! GOSSIP ..i To The Wasnlngton Post: passing. Castro appears to be ANOTHER APPEAL TO SCRIPTURE.’ 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 of Imprisoning captives taken In bat tle. Indeed, much may be learned by examination of Old Testament Script ure. but to some there will come a knowledge that n "New Gospel” has been made known to us. "A new com mandment give I untq, you that ye love one another." "Ho that hath ears to hear let him heSr ‘ WILLIAM RILEY BOYD. 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. HOUSEHOLD HINT8. By Wex Jones.

Thaw to follow the advice of hls coun sel and make Insanity x hls plea for killing Stanford White. Thaw’s obstinacy In Insisting that he is not insane caused a breach between him and his lawyers, and hls family, alarmed at the possible outcome, sent for O’Mara, who has great Influence with the prisoner. When asked if a difference existed between him and his client, Lawyer Hartridge said: —no.

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 me salt.” The hardened doctors sprang a 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 injeced, and, after two hours’ hard work the patient showed slight signs of returning life.

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. GEORGE HILLYER. Atlanta, Gu. Topeka, Kans., Sept. 21.—Governor Hoch today told James Gravan, of New York, that Kansas would lead In forcing Rosevelt to accept a renomlna- tlon.

Is one long to be remembered by those present on this occasion. A most excellent musical program was rendered, after which the speak ers for the evening occupied the time most profitably. Rev. S. A. Cowan made an exceptionally Interesting talk on the "Bible Readers' Coum#,’’ In which he emphasized the Importance of studying the Bible, In order to become more qualified In Christian work. T. A.

By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER, New York, Sept. 21—The death at lloaton of Freeman Barnes, a member of one of the oldest and wealthiest families of the Hub, ends a career as strange aa any fiction. Barnes was at work on an Invention and received fatal Injuries from an ex plosion of chemicals. For fifty years Barnes was a recluse. At the age of u he Inherited a fortune. The very next day he married nn heiress and the day after that he started with hls bride on a trip around the world.

He never tasted liquor again. He said hls 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 come cordially Mrs. Theodore p, Shonts, wife of the president of the Panama canal commission, and the two charming Shonts twins, the Misses Marguerite and Theodora. Mrs. Shonte la the daughter of ex-Govemor Fran cis Marlon Drake, of Iowa, who ills, tlnguished himself ns a general In the United States army, wns tho founder of Drake University, Des Moines, and who In various railroad interests ac cumulated vast wealth. This Inherited wealth of Mrs. Shonta has been aug. mented by that of Theodore Shonts, who also Is more than a millionaire, through fortunate Investments In rail road stocks. Chicago has been what might he called their home for years, but they have a winter home at Mobile; a sum. mer cottage on a Northern lake H nd Innumerable trips across the Atlantic, which has made them known In altneat all established social centers. Last year the twins graduated from the Mount Vernon Seminary, at Wash ington, and went abroad, where the two hnve been studying music, literature and the languages before making their social debut. .Miss Marguerite Is glft- *ith the pen, while Miss Theodora s great musical promise.

Mr. Roche Is still In Parle, where he has lived ever since hls unlucky trans action with that torpedo destroyer which he sold to Russia during the late wnt and which mnkes hls absence from England an enforced one.
