OUR PLATFORM-—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec tric light plants, as It now owns its water niorks. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should he done at once. The Georgian believes that if street rail ways can be operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it may be some years be fore We are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOW Entered as second-data matter April K. 19N. at tbe Postoflee «4 Atlanta. Ga.. under act of congress of March S. 1171.

A half a column will bo road, whereas a full column will be passed over by the majority of readers. A Word Personal and Otherwise. Several of the newspapers of the country have been disposed to credit aomo part of the recent Hot to the theory of separation of tbe races which the editor of The Georgian has so long proclaimed. Some others, and Judging from the clippings on our table, a much larger number have been dlsposod to credit this lawless affair to the campaign for disfranchisement recently waged by Hoke Smith, and to the multiplied ed ltorials written by The Atlanta Journal on that subject. Others In more definite fashion have been disposed to charge the whole thing to a little newspaper In this city which publicly and editorially applauded somo lynchlngs In South Carolina, and which one Northern newspaper charges with having offered $1,000 reward for a similar occurrence In Atlanta. With the last of these allegations we have nothing either now or In the future to do or to say. Under the first two charges we do not propose to rest. We propose to defend ourselves calmly In good temper against this charge, and with equnl frankness and earnestness to defend our neighbor, The Journal. The editor of The Georgian has advocated for many years both In the North and In the South the theory of separation as the only possible cure for the race prob lem. He lias debated It with state legislatures in strongly Republican states In which there were men who were members of the negro race, and upon plat forms of great universities In which many of the stu dents were of tho negro race Rnd took part In these discussions. There has never been any unpleasantness ,or any disturbance accompanying these deliverances, be- cause the editor of The Georgian has always voiced his opinions frith dignity and decorum and yet with the same absoluto freedom In the North as In the South and In tbe editorial columns of his paper. This theory of separation has the spoken and writ ten indorsement of Thomas Jefferson, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay. James Madison, Abraham Lincoln and Hen- ry Orady. If the theory of race separation Is an Insane, Impractical and riot producing theory, then Thomas Jefferson was insane. Impractical and b rioter; then Daniel Webster was Insnne; then Edward Everett nnd James Madison were Insane; then Henry Clay and Henry Grady were Insane. ' If the Idqp Is Insane, then Abraham Lincoln was distinctly Insane, and If It Is an Impractical and riot- producing Idea, tnen Henry Grady was Insane, Impractt- cal and unsound. In the light of those examples, wo appeal from the Judgment of tho thoughtful newspapers across the bor der and from the hasty words of the curbstone politi cians and the back counter statesmen of Atlanta, and are content to take our stand with tho Illustrious list of the Insane and Impractical, of which Jefferson, Clay, Webster, Everett, Madison nnd Monroe, and Lincoln and Grady are examplos. In tho matter of Mr. Hoke Smith and The Journal, we are equally confident that there Is absolutely no foundation for the foolish and childish charge of their responsibility for this lawless outbreak In Atlnnta. Mr. Smith conducted his dampnlgn upon the highest linos of discussion. He abtiBed nobody, be expressed no hatred and no denunciation. The Atldnta Journal In Its edito rials, so tar as we know, followed tbe same line. They advocated a principle which was already well establish ed and for many years under active execution tn many of our surrounding states. If Mr. Smith and Th* Journal were sensational and revolutionary, then waa South Car olina senastlonal and revolutionary; and so was Alabama, snd so was Louisiana, and so was Mississippi, and so were North Carolina and Virginia. It Is very foolish and very useless for a lot of care less and empty observers either a thousand miles away or nearer home to lay their heads together and seek to fasten upon some local object or representative that bur den of responsibility for a condition to which wo have all perhaps contributed, and which has had Its expression In other cities and In other states. - That It ts lamentable, we all confess; that It is de plorable, we have already said; that It Is lawless and damnable, wo have written In resolutions which have gone throughout the country. Hut it la a foolish thing and a useless tiling for anybody to be looking for a scape-gnat tn an occurrence which was born, not so much of anybody's fault, as of the provocation which pro duced It and of the hot blood of youth Joined to the bad blood of riot and of reckless and lawless Individuals. We have made no charges and no effort to foist up on any Individual or any contemporary the responsibility In this affair. If we are pressed, however, by any ungen erous contemporaries or continuation of any untruthful nml ors on their part, The Georgian will simply proceed to photograph In full the headlines of the extras which appeared on Saturday evening and submit them without comment to an Intelligent people to determine who was primarily responsible for the tragic events of ttat event ful night The People Can Prevail. The people who believe In municipal ownership of publlo utilities are more than they that be against It— far more. The truth Is today that the sentiment and opinion In favor of the proposition Is numerically overwhelming. The only thing standing In tbe way of adopting such a policy Is the fact that the advocates of the proposal are Ignorant of their own strength and of the ease and simplicity of Its possible attainment. The people are always unorganized—their strength and power unrecognized even by themselves. All great abuses and wrongs gather strength by slow accretions and the compact organization of their beneficiaries, all aided and sanctified by the Innate conservatism of the masses of the people. The beneficiaries i»f privileges are naturally the more alert. Intelligent and aggressive part of the population. Inch by Inch they pile up their power till they themselves come to regard privilege as natural right, and the artifi cial Institutions of the law as the fundamental and inher ent rights of Individuals. Fortifying and stimulating their purposes, Is tbe fact that their personal interests are Involved, their for tunes at stake. By this craft they have their living. AU their time and energies are devoted to building up their power and Increasing their advantages. They are an organized band whose business It is to pursue privilege as is calling. To them the public Is simply a quarry which It Is both their business and their recreation to hunt down The people at large, on tho other hand, are all occu pied In other matters, each concerned with tbe pressing needs of his own affairs and tbe Insistent pressure of his own peculiar business. Vaguely and without any clear or definite perception of the nature of the ^wrongs to be remedied, the great masses of the people feel that some how there is need for reform, but none has the time or Inclination to take the lead And so It runs along, the public suffering and grum bling In scattered and disorganized weakness, unconscious even of the potential weight of Its own numbers, but con scious of wrong and oppression and unwisdom In It all; the hosts of privilege astute, compact and capable, stren uous and. aggressive. Wrongs pile up, dissatisfaction grows. The privileged Increase In power and so Increasing Increase also In greed. Then the public sense of wrong takes form In what men call prejudice, that manifests Itself In many ways, ways that In themselves are Illogical and seemingly un wise, but which at last are but the gathering power of public resentment against Intolerable conditions. iSuch, for Instance, Is the explanation of the sentiment, so much complained of, that Is reflected In the verdicts of the Juries. After a while a strong man comes up as a leader. He not only sees and comprehends the nature, of the wrong, but has tho means, the strength and the courage to combat It Daxed and doubting, the people slowly rally to hit standard. At first uncertain of hls motives and distrust ful of hls wisdom, long accustomed to believe In tbe claims of privilege, that all power and right and wisdom belpng to It, they gather slowly, but they always gather surely to tho cause of right Atlanta Is ripe today for this reform. We have elec tric and gas utilities and street car franchises and many minor forms of privilege that are perhaps better administered and more liberal than most of such con cerns. Considering the fact that these great necessities are In private hands, they are fairly well administered. Compared with neighboring cltlos we are perhaps treated rather well. But because they are more Just and liberal, they tnnko money, as all of them would do If they were nil wlso enough to bo liberal and Just. They are piling up princely fortunes out of wealth that really belongs to all the people. The resultant Inequality demoralises so ciety nnd undermines tho foundations of democracy. We say they treat us better hero than In other cities. But we glvo them more. Compared with other public plunderers they do well. Compared with what wo are entitled to they’treat us ill. There Is one remedy. The public must own and op erate all public utilities. They want to do so. They have both tbe will and the power to do so. When they realize their own strength they will abolish privlloge and monopoly and establish Justice. call the slumbering conservatism of the people Into Im mediate action. There are dead lines drawn across the moral map of the republic, beyond which no man or set of men can dare to go without disturbing the equilibrium of the en tire nation. A step across these lines arouses that pro tecting conservatism which Is the Immovable rock upon which the hope pf tbe country Is builded. Riots may occur; mobs, for a brief season, may hold at bay the forces of law and order; the most despicable crimes may arouse the righteous fury of an outraged people; the brutality and treachery of an inferior race may endanger the safety and honor of Southern homes, but whatever the exciting cause, or pending Issue, the filial outcome is ever and'always one and the .same. The splendid mural strength and moral coarage of the average American citizen are asserted at tho crucial moment. Out of chaos and qontuslon comes the Inevit able calm—born of reason, judgment and a matchless moral courage. Eeach recurring crisis In municipal, state or national history accentuates anew the glory and the regulating power of American conservatism. Destroy or eliminate this splendid national charac teristic and wreck and ruin would be Immediate and In evitable. And yet conservatism Itself has extremes In which It becomes sometimes a fault, and sometimes a danger. But of this another time. Another Courteous Appeal. And now while the necessity for It Is so evident, and while the object lesson which Impresses It so is so recent, The Georgian once more, not rudely and unkindly, but courteously and considerately, urges upon President Arkwright and the officials of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company to relieve the tension of our suburban travel and to prevent the danger of dis turbances between the races by putting “trailers" upon hls cars in the busy hours from 5 to V In the morning and In the evening, or to give us five minute schedules within that time. If It is urged that these "trailers" are too long to turn at curves. It ought to be a matter of simple, com mon sense to see that all of the cars now running In Atlanta are provided wjth separate trolleys and sepa rate batteries, and they could be run Immediately be hind each other until they had passed the curves when they could be coupled together for the distances that were straight and proper. President Arkwright has not seen 1 fit in the past to pay the slightest attention to our thoroughly courteous request We do not know that he will notice this, but we do know that we are voicing a reasonable request In a thoroughly courteous and considerate way*, and that this request carries very much of the convenience and safety of the thousands of suburban peoplo who patron- lzo these lines. BEATRICE FAIRFAX She Points Out the Danger of Slang and Urges American Girls to Pattern Their Voices After Those ! of English Women. The Majesty of American Conservatism. Every crisis In American history emphasizes the majesty and dominant powor of American conservatism. Periods of national and sectional unrest, and times of bitterest political turmoil have ofttlmes obscured tern- parity this redeeming quality of American cltlscnshtp. The consuming flrqs of passion and resentment have ever and always been’ quenched by that greater force which men call reason and Judgment No one familiar with tbe Inspiring story of tho republic can ever lose faith In the final adjustment and adjudication of all mo mentous questions, arising for settlement, at the hands of the American people. In the stress and strain of tre- mondous political upheavals, when the very foundations of tho national government seem to tremble from tho Im part of the struggle of contending factions, men some times lose hesrt, and prophesy hopelessly of the future. But the thunders cease, the clouds pass away, men ,uke up the calmer duties of life, and lo! all things are as they were aforetime, save that those who fought each other fiercely and viciously, find themselves uncon sciously on n higher plane. Some dominant prtnclplo has been won, and become permanent, which makes for the welfare of the masses. Every memorable conflict between Americans, political, financial or otherwise, has resulted In a forward, up grade movement for the nation at large. Every serious contention has developed In greater or lesser degree the better qualities of American character, as a final out come. When any class of citizenship seems mad In lts quest of gold, or In its greed for political preferment, and the nobler Instincts of the people are apparently warped and blunted by the consuming thirst for personal aggrandize ment, there Invariably arises at tho critical moment the rolcc of one, who crying aloud, through the press. In the pulpit, or ou the rostrum, awakens as with a trumpet The other evening I sat near a group of woman who were playing bridge. Among them was a woman of about forty-five. She was a handsome, well- dressed woman, with an endless flow of conversation. She looked charming, but the minute she opened her mouth the charm fled. Not only was her voice high-pitched and nasal to a degree, but the amount of slang she used was astonishing. "You’re a beaut,” "Not on your life,” "Bet your boots” were a few of the equally or more objectionable. The effect produced by the slang phrases falling from the lips of that dignified, elderly woman was unpleas ant In the extreme. Slang In any form Is objectionable, but It certainly sounds worse coming from an old person than from a young. However, if you contract the habit while young It It pretty sure to stick to you, for there Is no habit harder to cure one's-self of than the slang habit. Surely there are enough words In the English language to supply the or dinary vocabulary. So many words are considered slang now-a-days that It Is almost Impossi ble to eliminate It entirely from con versation, but there Is no use In going out of the way to bring It In at every turn. It Is not at alt unusual -to .hear the words "bully" and "rotten" fall from the lips of a pretty, reflned-looklng girl. Did you ever hear of the bewitched fairy princess from whose Ups toads and vipers dropped every time she spoke? The slang th»t falls from the lips of some of our girls of today might al most be compared to the toads and vipers of the princess. And there Is also much to be reme died where many of the voices are con cerned. The English, who are noted the world over for their soft, well-modulated voices, say that all Americans speak through their noses. That, of course, Is an exaggeration, but we can not but allow that there Is a good deal of truth In it. A soft voice Is spoken of as "that most excellent thing In woman.” It Is a quality that can be cultivated If you only have the strength of mind to keep at It. To begin with, bring your voice down from the top of your head and speak softly. Don’t cultivate affectation, but do try and make your voice melodious by softness and purity of pronunciation. One fault of many Americans Is that they speak too quickly, clipping off a syllable from almost every word. Learn to speak distinctly and In a clear, low-pitched voice. There Is no reason why the girls of New York should not have extremely musical voices, for the sea air Is sup posed to soften much harshness of the vocal cords. Do not let your English cousins get ahead of you In the voice question. So often you hear foreigners say when speaking of an American girl, "Yes, she Is pretty and charming, but did you ever hear such a voice?” Now, girls, It Is your duty to correct that Impression; get to work and make vour voices as pretty as your faces.

The fields along the route were white with cotton on the stalks, and no one hardly seemed to be picking.

The Central of Geor gia Railroad from Columbus to Green ville will perhaps be running tnrough with broad gauge Instead of the nar row gauge to Newnan by January next. This is the estimate formed on common rumor. It is graded from Greenville toward Newnan about 8 miles, and from Newnan toward Greenville about 8 miles, leaving a gap of about 8 more miles to be graded. This will open up more directly the travel to Columbus and Intermediate points. The construc tion of the road and the depot nnd sid ing conveniences would seem to indi cate the expectation of a heavy traffic. O 0 O NOTES BY THE WAY. O o — o 0 By C. B. Thomas.

And so the names of the daring teachers were Inscribed. Maybe they have been punished enough thus, and maybe they'll be punished more; time will tell. But the brides don't care. The American colony In London Is to be started for an eariy season by the marriage of Miss Mary Cavendish Bentlnck to John Ford, of this city. Miss Bentlnck Is the daughter of Mrs. George Cavendish Bentlnck, she who was Miss Elizabeth Livingston, Mrs. Ogden Mills' twin, and John Ford Is the son of the late Sir Francis Clalra Ford, who died while British ambassa dor at Rome. Mrs. Maturln Livingston, who was known a generation ago as the mother of the "Livingston twins,” has returned to America. "The Livingston twins" are now respectively Mrs. Cavendish Bentlnck, mother of the bride to be, nnd Mrs. Ogden Mills, mother of the Mills twins, famous as “the smartest little dressers.’’ While a big. crowd at Sixth avenue and Twenty-third street applauded, Miss Helen Miller, a pretty milliner, taught a lesson In street etiquette to a person who tried to flirt with her last night. , Miss Miller was walking slowly up Sixth avenue when she saw the man following her.
