Jerome for Municipal Ownership.
District Attorney William Travers Jerome. In an In
tervlow given to the press on Thursday, outlines a few
of the principles which. In his opinion, should be em
bodied In the pint farm of the Democratic convention of
the state of Now York, which convenes at Buffalo on
Tuesday of next week.
He declares without hestltatlon or equivocation In
favor of municipal ownership of publlo utilities. He not
only believes that the cities should own the gas and
electric light plants, but thinks that the traction utilities,
"whether they be underground, surface or elevated,"
should be llkewlao owned by the municipality.
This Is the platform on which The Georgian stands.
It may be some time before wo are ready to take over
the street car system, but the time Is already ripe for
the acquisition of the gas and electric light plants. The
people have been robbed and oppressed until pa
tience has ceased to be a virtue. It la entirely practica
ble for the city to own and operate the gas and electric
light plants, and supply the people much more cheaply
than la dono at present. They would not bo treated with
the combined Inefficiency and Insolence which now mark
the service/and at the same time It would mean a sav
ing of thousands of dollars a year to the city nnd 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 them alt.
And the people of the whole country are raptdly ar
riving at this opinion. The sontlmont Is growing all over
the United Btates. There may be certain differences of
opinion as to the federal ownership of rallroat^, and a
great many honest doubts as to whother this Is tho prop
er time to agitate that question, but the country Is be
coming almost a unit on the subject of municipal own
ership.
The Packers Are Thriving.
It Is a notable fact that In spite of tbe sensational
exposure of the meat packing Industry during the past
summer, the business of the great concerns engaged In
It has shown a steady Increase. It Is stated that the
shipments of meat during the month of July wpre 10,-
000,000 pounds heavier than they were for the corre
sponding month Inst year nnd 67,000.000 |x>unds honvler
than for the same month two years ago. During tho
first seven months of the present year tho shipments
of meat were more than 300,000,000 pounds heavier than
they were during the same period last year.
The Brooklyn Kufjlo says this does not mean that
the returns of the falling off in the sales abroad reported
during tbe Investigation were not true, but that these
were more than overbalanced by the Increased sales
of dressed moats and of hog products bought by the
South In exchange for Its enormous cotton crop. There
Is an Impressive lesson In this latter fact which tho South
should take to heart. That the bumper crop of cotton
was a mistake, particularly when It Is taken In connec
tion with the fact that the farmers neglected to raise
home supplies and figured largely In the purchase of hog
products at the very time the Investigation was going on.
Is a fact which only needs to be 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, thnt "the ef
fect of the new Inspection service Is fast recovering" the
trade for thy nt.
We can all recall what a furore was raised when
the charges against the big packing houses were being
made and Investigated. Congress was flooded with pro
tests from the cattle raUers who declared that tho agita
tion would rulu them. They created the Impression
that If this scandal was not hushed up and the public
mind tranquillized, disaster of tho most dire kind would
fall ui>on the men who raise tho meat and upon nil who
are Interested In the slaughter and sale of It.
But the fact Is that this clarifying of the atmosphere
and of the slaughter houses has given the people confi
dence In the pucker which was never enjoyed before. The
matter has been placed squarely up to the agricultural
department of the government. If canned goods are sent
out after October 1, bearing as they most the Inspection
label of the government, and It la found that the con
tents are not good, the people will hold the government
responsible for It, and the administration under which
such Inefficiency prevails will have to answer to the
people at the poll*.
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 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 uud in whatever
quarter It may be necessary.
OUR PLATFORM— 1 The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s owning its own j
gas and eleetrie 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
done at once. The Georgian believes that if street railways can be operated sue- j
cessfully 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 may 5
be some years before we are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta ‘
should set its face in that direction NOW.

The Awful Shadow Again.
Two attempted outrages within a single day, one
In tbe Immediate suburbs, and one In the very heart of tbe
city, bring us face to face with the social problem of
our times once more.
It adds a peculiar aggravation to these 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 deteeUon, 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 Is something more than monstrous and surely
something less than human about those two assaults of
yesterday. 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 condemn the
crime of their race. They come Just after the addition of
36 county policemen and 250 deputy sheriffs to the official
law force of the county of Fulton, and yet so far there Is
no definite proof that but one of these fiends has been ap
prehended.
Those who have families and ^have discussed this
matter around tbe breakfast tables of this morning and
the supper tables of yesterday, can understand the min
gled feeling of apprehension and of outrage which Alls
tho pulses of men and women In this community.
Now then, men and brethren, what are we going to
do about these things?
It has been demonstrated that lynch law while It may
deter In some Instances, does not by any means pre
vent the recurrence of these crimes. We have nothing In
the world to complain of In tho vigor, the earnestness,
and the fidelity with which the negro leaders have co
operated with tbe white man In the denunciation of this
crime.
We have nothing to complain of In the vigor with
which the county officials have done their part In this
emergency. Wo have nothing to complain of In the vigor
and promptness with whloh private cltlxens have rallied
to the help and cooperation of the soveral families
who have fallen under the shadow of this awfnl crime.
We have nothing to 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 by all the skilled vigilance of these
slouths of Justice In command.
Yet with all of this the fact still stares us In the face
that right In the capital of Goorgla in a single day under
our quintupled police system, and under the most auda
cious circumstances, with tho most astonishing reck
lessness, these monstrous and unspeakable fiends have
attempted their hellish crimes and have made an even
break with Justice In escaping so far the stern vigilance
of the law.
Now, then, what are we to do about it? The Geor
gian confretses that it Is staggered under the weight of
the question which It asks. We only know one thing,
that wo cannot afford to do nothing and that we 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 nnd spend
whatever portion of one day or of many days may bo nec
essary to reason out this awfnl problem, and to reach
some definite line of action upon which we can all agree
and upon which we can faithfully co-operato. We are up
against the most serious and frightful phase which our
civilization has ever reached. It is no time for hysterical
expression, no time for mad words of furious passion,
and above all things no time for hasty and 111 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 the agencies of our human civilization can avail'to
halt It. Certainly we cannot fall to make the the effort
to reach a solution In the combined Judgment of c^ur
wisest cltlxens. There must be somewhere a 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 an awful
terror thnt Is scarcely less keen In daylight than after
darkness comes to hide the criminal and his wofk.
We arc thoroughly convinced that It Is not a crime
for which we can attack the negro as a race. This much
has been demonstrated by the swift responses of the ne
gro leaders within the month. It is a crime of Individuals
now nnd the highest experts In criminology whom we
can summon to our assistance should be brought to give
us their Judgment and their counsel In t'jts hour.
Tho Georgian suggests that there could be no time or
day more appropriate to tbe serious and earnest consid
eration of this tremendous question than on Sunday af
ternoon when business men are at leisure, and when the
very solemnity of the day would temper our discussions
with calm nnd serious earnestness.
Wo make the suggestion. If It can meet with public
approval, thet .he opera house, cither DeGIve's Grand or
the Bijou, shall lie asked for a public meeting behind
closed doors of all the men In Atlanta who are think-
Let the Courts Be Prompt.
The one thing to be done In the qase of these two
assaults of yesterday Is to give tbe people a long needed
object lesson of the promptness and vlgqy of our courts
o. Justice.
There are two men tn the county Jail—one a proven
criminal, tbe other a reasonable suspect.
They ought to be tried and punished or liberated
In a week.
Tbe courts are on trial before the people In this
matter.
They must vindicate by their swift action the argu
ment and plea of tbe 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 condlUone should not hold tor a day longer
than Is absolutely necessary, the minds and feelings of
these shadowed families under the tension of horror and
indignation which Justly Alls their veins.
It the courts will dispose of these cases in a week,
they will help mightily to restrain the lyncher. If they
delqy and shilly-shally the mob will take fresh courage
and go forward In Its work.
It ts up to the courts now clear and sharp.
What will they do about It?
LAMAR HILL'8 GOOD WORK.—The Georgian
extends Its felicitations to Mr. Lamar Hill upon the
admirable way In which he 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 tn the history of this
league In Georgia, and there are hundreds of his
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 ever committed 19 bis
charge.
Mr. Hill comes from a noble race o fstrong men
and good women. He has tho blood of some of
Georgia's best public servants, tn hts veins, and we
sincerely join our best wishes to our confident pre
dictions of his 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.

"ANOTHER APPEAL
TO 8CRIPTURE."
To the Editor of The Georgian;
Your correspondent, who signs,
"Scotch Irish Christian," has given to
your renders a charming specimen of
the humor of hts race. To the Initiat
ed all Is clear, and we smile grimly In
recognition of his meaning.
Hut to those who fall to comprehend
his mood there comes a ready accep
tance of his euggeetlon, 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
er. Man often speaks and acts calling
It the Word, or act, of God, and placing
responsibility for such word and act
upon the All Wise God. 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 In
other portions df Scripture find war
rant for greater reforms and penalties'
In family government we are In
structed In Deuteronomy xxl, 18-31,
thus: "If a man have a stubborn and
rebellious son, which will not obey the
voice of hts father, or the voice of his
mother, and that when they have chas
tened him, will not hearken unto them;
then shall his father and his mother lay
hold on him, and bring him unto the
elders of hie city, and unto the gate of
hie 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 Is a glutton and a drunk
ard.' And all the men of his etty
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. If we
accept the earlier proposition as bind
ing. why not tho latter?
The "Hewing In piece of Agog" 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 wilt come a
knowledge that a "New Gospel" has
been made known to us. "A new com
mandment give I unto you that ye love
one another."

Qrsln to Bread In Three Hours.
From The Kansas City Journal.
A record time for converting grain
Ihto broad has been established by a
Canadian farmer. Wheat which was In
the sheaf at 3 o'clock In the afternoon
was made Into scones before *. When
operations began a wagon stood In the
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 was deposited In a bln. The
power was then transferred to the
cleaner, and the work of changing the
newly threshed whoat Into Hour was
quickly carried through. The rest of
the task was easy.

New York, Sept. 21.—The death at
Boston of Freeman Barnes, a memheJ
of one of the oldest and' wealthiest
families of the Hub, ends a career as
strange as any Action.
Barnes was at work on an Invention
and received fatal Injuries from an ex

Barnes was a recluse. At the age of 21
he Inherited a fortune. The very next
dny he married an heiress and the dav
after that he started with his bride on
a trip around the world.
His wife wes swept oft the deck of
the ship In a storm, "and Barnes re
turned here and dissipated his fortune
In a year. He was a drunkard for sev.
cn years and then he reformed. Ho
never tasted liquor again.
He said his Invention would make
him famous the world over. The ex

the Invention.

Ing and hla body began to grow cold
and the doctors pronounced him dead.
Two hours later, when preparations

in a faint whisper, said:
”In God's name, give me 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

had been Injected into an artery the
surgeons started artificial respiration..
Oxygen and serium were Injeced, and,
after two hours' hard work, the patient
showed slight signs of returning life.

Governor of Kansas Says

JUDGE HILLYER EXPLAIN8
WHAT HE OBJECTED TO.
To the 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 was written
from Atlanta, but the libelous cartoon
gotten up by some Northern man and
published before and, as you say, seen
sure by perhaps over five million read
ers who have such wicked and de
praved hatred of the South as to make
them relish such things against us, no
matter how false they may be.
It was the bad picture that did the
harm. A great crow’d of masked men,
some chasing negroes with dogs; some
whipping negroes, nnd 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.
It 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
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.
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 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 tynchlngs are
increasing there Just as they are here.
The reproach Is less on account of the
lynching* than on account of the de
fects In our laws; but most of all the
blame lies with the brutal rapist who
- >mmfts the crime.

B. If, P, UNION HELD
HELPFUL SERVICE
The September meeting of the At
lanta Baptist Young People’s Union,
which was hold at tho Capitol Avenue
Baptist church Thursday evening, 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. 8. A. Cowan
mnda an exceptionally Interesting talk
on the "Bible Readers' Course," In
which he emphasized the Importance of
studying the Bible, In order to become
more qunllfled In Christian work. T. A.
Teasdnlc followed with a talk on the
"ConqueBt Missionary Course." show-
ing wherein much could be derived
from a systematic study of this course
come cordially Mrs. Theodore p
Shonts, wife of the president of the
Panama canal commission, and the two
charming Shonts twins, the Mlssea
Marguerite nnd Theodora. Mrs. Shonts
Is the daughter of ex-Governor Fran
cis Marlon Drake, of Iowa, who dis
tinguished himself as 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.
menteil by that of Theodore Shonts,
who also Is more than a millionaire,
through fortunate Investments In rail-
road stocks.
Chicago has been what might be
celled 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.
l-ast 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 Mies Theodora
gives great musical promise. At the
churt In June Mrs. Shonts, with her
daughters, were presented by Mrs.
Whiteiaw Reid, wife of our ambassa
dor nt 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 parliament, ts gathering
evidence to obtain a divorce In the En
glish courts from the woman who in
America Is the wife of Aurel Batonyi,
but whoso Dakota divorce from Mr.
Burke Roche ts not recognized In Eng
land. Those who pretend to know, say
that the earnestness with which he Is
seeking freedom may have something
to do with his attention to ex-Senator
Cockrell's daughter, who Is a noted
beauty.
Mr. Roche Is still In Parts, where he
haa lived ever since his unlucky trans
action with that torpedo destroyer
which he sold to Russia during the late
war and which makes his absence from
England an enforced one. Ae regards
the Botanyls, no one not even them
selves know what their future movex
will be.
Mr. and Mrs. Waldorf Astor sailed
today on the White Star liner Cedric

not say why his name appeared on the
sailing list oa Adams.
The Rev. Mr. Charles Parkhurst has
returned to New York and we may ex

habeas corpus proceedings against her
former husband, Cyrus Field Judsim.
millionaire clubman and grandson of
Cyrus Field, in the supreme court tor
the custody of Cyrus Field Judson, Jr..
her 8-year-old son, alleging that his
father Is continually Intoxicated and
unlit to care for him.
Mrs. JudXon obtained n divorce In
South Dakota last spring, the court
giving her the custody of the children,
but allowing Mr. Judson to see them at
stated periods. While In New York
Mrs. Judson allowed him to have the
children In alternates weekB and he
took the boy, not permitting her to see
him.
James G. BlnlneTTlI, has d»dded to
