must be signed. No anonymous communication will be
printed. No manuscripts will be returned unless stamps
are Inctosad for the purpose. Our correspondents are
urgently requested to abbreviate their lettera as much
as ponlble. A half a column will be read, whereas a
full column will be passed ovar by the majority of

The Virtues of Laziness.
So many moral essays have been written on the
value and virtue of Industry that there Is something
timely In the suggestion of n writer In one of the foreign
papers on YTho Virtue of Lailness.”
What would all the copy books be without the stereo
typed and Spencerlanlzed pbrnsea about “the early
bird." "palms non sine pulvere,” and a host of such prov-
erba which go toward making up the formative period of
the youth of our country? We remember of course that
It was the early worm that was caught—that ho would
not have been caught If he had not been up so early.
But all that counted for nothing with the makers of
the copy books and of the moral maxims. It was the lazy
man who always caught the worst of It.
So this man who comes to the defenso of indolence—>
not reluctantly and half-heartedly, but boldly nnd defiantly
—Is like the shadow of a great rock In a weary land. He
Is a relief from the tedium of long aermons on “early to
bed nnd early to rise.” In which ho usually dwells with
speelnl emphasis on the early to rise part. Instead of
writing one communication to the London Chronicle or
some such paper, he should set himself to literary work
altogether. Ho should give us hot from-the-press folios and
quartos. Ho should enlighten and refresh this weary
world—well, not too Industriously, hut Just chough so not
to upset hit own point--with good old English essays on
Indolence.
It would hnvo at least ono cuarm. It would he read.
We would not pass them over, when they appeared In
book form, to n friend's friend for review, but would
stretch ourselves out at length and at ease and In a
hammock, or on the shady side of some purling stream,
where, without disturbance, wc could "rest and loaf our
soul."
At any rate, wc arc thankful to this man nnd gentle
man who gives us at least an essay on the virtues of lazi
ness.
A humorous paragraph not written by Mark
has been going the rounds of the press of late
must be some mistake here.

OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec
tric light plants, as it now owns Its water tvorks. 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 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 ils face in that direction NOW
these employers to separate white girls and black men as
waiters, house cleaners, or aa laborers In some of the
smaller factories of the time. ,
We believe also that It la not a good Idea for white
women to sit side by side with negfoea who are their
drivers In public conveyances. This habit has the two
fold danger of physical proximity and of suggestion to
negroes upon the streets. We think It ought to be dis
pensed with, and we believe that the people of Atlanta
will take this suggestion In hand without any Interference
on the part of the law.
Wo have progressed now to a scientific study of this
transcendent crime, and we should seek Its germs as the
experts are studying yellow fever or cholera.
Bank Clearing’s and “Big Wilson’s,
The Constitution through the mouth of a Tennessee
Intermeddler yclept "Big. Tvilson,” boosts Itself this
morning of Its "unparalleled generosity" In writing an ed-
ttorlaj In dofense of Its evening contemporaries against
the charge of Inciting to riot.
We recall the “unparallel" editorial In question and
we also recall that the day after lts appearance The
Macon Telegraph, The Constitution's next of kin and of
sympathy, spoke of the production substantially as fol
lows:
"It The Constitution has arty more such gall and
wormwood, to npply and rub Into the cuticle of Its
contemporaries under the pretense of defending
them, we would ndvlse our evening contemporaries
to defend themselves In advance."
We do not remember that either The Journal or The
Georgian saw fit to ninko any extended acknowledgments
for the “unparalleled piece of generOBlty," which Inspired
oven Tho Macon Telegraph to protest.
Through tho same channel Tho Constitution renewB
Its argument of the abnormal damage to the city dur
ing the raco riot week as shown In the decreaso In clear
ing house receipts. All of which Is quite convincing If
The Constitution will also explain the decroase In the
clearing house receipts during tho week preceding the
race riot, and the decrease In tho week which follows
the race riot. It Is Just as well to he accurate In these
mntters, and not to write down Atlanta for the Northern
newspapers upon the basis of a single week, without giv
ing the record of those which went before and followed
after. We hnvo never stabbed The Constitution or ma
ligned it In any way. We have frankly taken Issue with
It upon this point, nnd upon one other point, as we shall
always reserve the right to do when we differ.
Meanwhile let tho "Bigmore Wilson bravo" trot out
his Northern newspaper clippings. They are the proof of
The Georgian's fidelity to the real Interests of the peo
ple whom It represents, We are thinking of publishing
them ourselves. We aro not much Influenced by these fa
natical outbreaks of Bectlonnl Jealousy, and we are not
trimming the satis of this Georgian craft to meet the
wind which they create. v
And to The Constitution's gentle suggestion that "Big
Wilson" lakes the editor of The Georgian too seriously,
wo may romark Just ns gently that the people generally
lake tho editor of Tho Georgian quite as seriously as they
appeared to fake ono of Its esteemed contemporaries dur
ing s recent vote feat In August.
Wc are not particularly looking for a controversy st
this time, but In answer to a message of menace Just
received, and having on hand a seasoned supply of am
munition wo take pclasure In announcing ourselves ready
whenever the festivities are scheduled to begin.
reliable lights In Atlanta, but It Isn't so. The Decatur
lights are better than those In Atlanta. Possibly they
are not quite so reliable, but that Is due to the fact that
It Is a new plant, the management has not had 20 years'
experience like the Atlanta plant, their equipment is nec
essarily younger and more scanty. Then again, when a
defect occurs In Decatur the loss falls on the light
ing plant. If a light don't hum they deduct it from
the payment at the end of the month.
It's all a matter of plain, common chimney corner,
sense. We have given Mr. Atkinsou and his associates
all sorts of Invaluable franchises and they are taking
an unjust advantage. They make ua pay most extortion
ate prices and it Isn't right.
But grumbling Is no good and they know It. The only
remedy worth while Is to put In our own plant and light
our own city.
The bare prospect of competition has In the past
brought down prices from $85 per arc light to $76.
If the city should put In her own plant the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company would beg for the
street lighting at $50.
And halt that would be proflt.
The timidity of the citlxen Is the curse of the city.
sayed Is the effort to place Mr. Hearst and Mr. Bryan In
opposition and to create the impression that Mr. Hearst
himself is a real candidate for the presidency In opposi
tion to the Nebi&skan. This, too, will be put Anally to
rest by the appearance of Mr. Bryan In New York politics,
and In spite of the unholy combination of capital, corpor
ations. trusts, graftqra, combines and rings, all of whom
are making common cause against the Democratic cham
pion, we shall confidently expect to see Mr. Hearst the
next governor of New York by a majority of not less
than 50,000 votes.
Looking at It Thoughtfully.
The best (Kisstble that this public enu do, after
having expressed iieraonally and officially, as so many In
dividuals and public bodies have done, Its condemnation
of the Indiscriminate slaughter of tho mob, Is to lot tho
question of the mob sink Into oblivion as soon as possible.
Lot us put It out of our minds and forget It and hope
and pray that tho madness of It may nover selzo upon this
city again, either In necessity or In Imagination.
But with this much said, we shall continue from time
to time, not In passion and In stormy words, but with all
soberness, to examine so far as possible the conditions
around us to see It we can approach to a better under
standing of the nature and origin of rape.
We offered several days ago a series of questions,
which we respectfully submitted to the Judges and officers
and Jailers and sociological students of the city, to ascer
tain with reference to tho criminal negro hts education,
his habits, hla environment, his use of morphine or
cocaine, his associates, bis haunts, and other questions
that would give us an Idea of the conditions which hnd
Inspired him with the awful lust which also destroys him.
And there nre other lines along which we may prose
cute this subject. It hhs been said to The Georgian by
citlxen* of high standing and thoughtful minds that there
Is much of danger In the way In which white fctrl, and
negro men and boys nre herded together in somo of the
manufactories of the city and the state. It has been Bald
that In some of these factories, the names of which It Is
not necessary to mention at this time, that white girts
dressed lightly for snltry weather and the steam of the
factory, are placed In cloae contact with negroes who
have even less upon their bodies, and that In the move
ment from placo to place, and changes of position, that
there Is everything to stimulate and originate the thought
of criminal relations.
If this be true (and the manufacturers who read this
line will know whether or not It Is true), wo feel sure
that the awful lesson of these times will appeal to them
more strongly than auy words of our* to remove tills
temptation from the negro and this frowning danger from
the young women In their employ.
We go further than this. We know that there are a
number of institutions not always denominated "facto
ries" which divide their employees among the races, and
frequently have negro boys and neat white girls waiting
on the tables and cleaning up the pantries nnd kitchens
and doing housework together In these establishments.
We think that this Is also an unfortunate and lamentable
iustom.
We make bold to lay down the prottosltlon that If any
employer should find It necessary to employ white girls
and black men In the same business that he should at
least, as a real kindness, proceed to separate their duties
and to remove them from contact with each other.
It It a tact which has more than once caught the eyes
and the attention of thoughtful men that this contact was
-lingermis for both rare*, and we trust that the mere
BUgyestlon of this danger will Instantly appeal to some of
If the People Only Knew Their Power.
Tho Georgian remarked some days ago that If the
people knew their own power, and realized how unani
mous public sentiment Is on the subject of municipal
ownership, private monopoly could not stand a day In the
fnco of tho Insistent demand that would result.
The weakness of tho people, as wc then said, lies
In the fact that the Individual cltlsens are all busy
with their private affairs-, and not only busy, but pressed
by the keen edgo of necessity. They have their living
to make. They have scant time to devote to public af
fairs. They say they aro not In politics. The privileged
classes occupy an entirely different position with refer
ence to tho public utilities. "By this craft they have their
living.” With them there Is not only largo reward In
devoting their time and energies nnd abilities to the ex
plaiting of the public, but they have ample time for It
nnd nmplo means.
A few yonrs ago there was an election held In At
Innta to determine what tho people wnnted In tho ninttcr
of tho public lighting. By a very large vote they said
they wanted the rtty to furnish Its own lights. Just why
this has nover been done, Is hard to say. But by some
means or other tho cajollerlon of the privileged have suf
deed to proven t.
Somo day a mayor nnd council will ho chosen who
are willing to really servo the people.
There Is a vague notion nbrond that for some reason
or other—nobody knows what—the city can’t furnish
electric lights for Its own use—don't know how—hasn't
sense enough to attend to business or something.
As a matter of fact. It Is tho simplest thing In the
world, nnd In those communities where the value of the
franchise has not been largo enough to tempt the cupidity
of franehlso grabbers the people have gone on ns nn
every day matter of course and Installed their own light
ing plants, and are operating them at an expense of
from one-half to two-thirds as much per arc light as At
lanta pays. Yss, and they have better llghte, too.
In some cases the towns run their own plants and
In some rases small local concerns run them, but always
at less than Atlanta pays. There are fifty little towns In
Georgia lit up by better electric lights than we have and
all of them at leet expense per light.
f’eople have mi Idea that because the lighting of At
lanta Is a big thing, It must therefore be a mysterious
business proposition for which nobody Is qualified except
sonudiody who holds a great privilege of some sort. As
a matter of fact It Is a very simple thing that any man of
good ordinary sense eaq attend to.
W* pay $75 par arc light, and right down thsre In the
little village of Decatur they light their etreete at $50
per light.
What's the difference? I* thore any living man that
can tell? Certainly not. There Is nobody that can tell,
hernusc there Is no difference. Decatur Is a small place,
tho patronage Is limited and If thero Is any difference
at all In the cost to the plant, by si) the experience of
business It ought to be reversed. Atlanta lights should
cost $.‘>0 and Pres tor $75.
They will tell you they have belter lights aud more
A rise of seven dollars a bale In tho price of cotton Is
very gratifying to tho people of the Bouth, who have
been waiting a long time for something to "turn up.”
Unity Between Hearst and Bryan.
There Is no likelihood of any clash of conflicting In
terests between the friends and forces of Mf. William J.
Bryan and Mr. William R. Hearst In tho next national
election.
When the time arrives, and that will be right soon,
for the friends of Democracy to align, themselves In
this great battle of the ballots, the Democratic rank and
file of this country will be treated to tho Inspiring spec
tacle of Wllllnm J. Bryan leading the fighting ranks of
the Hearst forces In Now York as the great central ora
tor of the New York state campaign.
When Mr. Bryan was In Atlanta some weeks ago, he
authorized the editor of Tho Georgian to tender his ser
vices to Mr. Henrst in the coming stnto campaign In
case the Buffalo convention should give him tho nomina
tion. Following the result of that convention In which
Mr. Hearst was nomlqatod almost unanimously upon tho
first ballot, Mr. Bryan's communication was sent to New
York and received a cordial reception at the hands of Mr.
Hearst.
We therefore feel Justified In making the announce
ment that within a very short time the Democracy of this
country, and especially that definite Democracy repre
sented by Jefferson, Bryan and Hearst, will be Inspired
nnd thrilled by the spectacle of the greatest of Democrat
ic orators speaking In New York for the greatest of
Democratic editors, with the executive chair of the great
est state In tho Union as the prize of this common
and combined endeavor on the part of the two greatest
and strongest Democratic leaders of this decade.
Mr. Hearst Is beginning his campnlgn with the same
extraordinary vigor that marked his municipal campaign
two years ago. He la being received everywhere with
unparalleled enthusiasm and his meetings are without ex
ception the greatest In fiolnt of numbers and-vof Inter
est that the Empire State of the North has witnessed
within this quarter of a century.
Desperate indeed are tho straits to which tho oppo
sition have been put, nnd unscrupulous beyond measure
are the Instruments used to defeat him. But all of these
will be In vain.
One of the things which has been diligently cs-
MAJ. GEO. S. HOYLE.—The genial gentleman,
the cultured scholar, the gallant and urbane soldier,
who met with a violent and shocking death yester
day at College Park, was a native of Atlanta, and one
of her most gifted sons.
Manly In figure, gracious In speech and demeanor,
majestic In mAnnnr and personality, brave as a gladi
ator yet bb modest, tender and gentle as a woman, he
embodied many of the loftiest Ideals of the Ideal man.
So forgetful of self was he; so generous and
liberal in thought and act; so charitable; so su
premely loyal to the memory of a sainted mother,
so tolerant—he was Intolerant only of Intolerance—
he possessed a multitude of virtues that obscured, be
littled and minified his personal frailties.
Brilliant In conversation; charming In speech;
overflowing with an abundance of wit nnd original
thought, his Intellectuality was as forceful and strong
as It was captivating.
George Hoyle, as he q-as familiarly known among
his friends, was a self-made man. After acquiring
only rudimentary education In one of the private
schools of the city, by dint of personal effort—by tho
midnight lamp—he qualified himself for entrance Into
West Point Military Acndcmy Immediately after the
war between tho states.'
He was the first Southern boy, after the great
lnterneclno strife, to enter that Institution—at a time
when the feeling between the sections was Intense
and hitter, but his loyally to his people, his state
and his section would brook no aspersions on their
character. Violent controversy often resulted In per
sonal encounters. Ills readiness to defend his conten
tions, however, with his strong, right arm, quickly
won for hint the general admiration of the entire
student body of West Point Academy; and In four
years, he graduated a leader of his class.
For twenty years he bravely and gallantly served
as captain In the regular army In the west, at the
end of which.time he was, because of III health, re
tired from active service, with rank of .major. Re
cently, having recovered his health, he resumed his
duties, being assigned to work In this city.
Major Hoyle was a tireless and unprejudiced
seeker after truth, and nn Indefatlglble student of the
riddle of life. He was swayed, from time to time, by
the great masters of materialism and of mysticism,
honestly Intent at all times after the truth!
"Perplexed In faith but pure In deeds,
At last he beat hla music out.
There lives more faith In honest doubt,
Believe me, than In halt the creeds.
"He fought his doubts, and gathered strength—
He would not make his Judgment blind.
He faced the spectres of the mind.
And laid them. Thus he came at length
"To find a stronger faith his own;
And power was with him In the night.
Which makes the darkness and the light,
And dwells not In the light alone,
"But In the darkness nnd the cloud,
As over Sinai’s peeks of old
While Israel made their gods of gold.
Although the trumpet blew so loud."
It Is tho prayer of his friend—whose life dawned
on earth on the same day and year—that his brilliant
Intellectuality may bloom afresh in another sphere,
bouyed with renewed ambition and grander opportu
nities to pursue, and probe, and solve the riddle of
the universe, that so possessed his life In a primitive
world.

0O0OOOOOOO6OOO0OOOOOOOWHJO
By Rsv. Thomas B. Gregory.
Than Daniel Boone there Is not In
all our country's annals a more refresh
ing personality.
When Hoohe died the world lost n
fund of rharaeter the value of which
Is not to be calculated In national
figures, nnd It Is more than probable
that we shall never look upon his like
again.
Horn In Burks county, Pennsylva
nia, In the year USB, Boone, In 1748.
moved with his father to North Caro
lina, where he married and remained
till 178S, when he Joined a party of
young men on an exploring expedition
Into the then wilds of Kentucky.
The party had scarcely entered Ken
tucky when they were attacked by
the Indians. Donne nnd his brother,
Hqutre, escaped, and. undaunted,
worked their way onward to the point
agreed upon before leaving home.
There In the silent wilderness Hoone
and his brother found themselves In
what might very appropriately be
called a "fix,” They were without
clothing, were practically destitute of
the supplies that even the backwoods
man must have In order to live.
There was nothing to do hut for one
of them to return to civilization for
the menns without which life was Im
possible. and the lot fell upon Squire.
And right here Is where the true
grandeur of Daniel Boone's character
appears.
Upon the departure of his brother he
was left absolutely alone In the deep
nnd solemn forest! Had he hnd the
ompanlonshlp of « horse nr a dog. the
situation would have been passably
bearable, hut In the dense wilderness
ho was left even without the society
of horse or dog. and had to depend
wholly upon the resources that lay
Ithln his own soul.
For months Hoone remained all alone
In the "forest primeval," tasting neith
er salt nor bread, nor looking upon
a human face.
Wild beasts and wilder savages
might pounce upon him at any time,
ad amid the awful silence of the
oeds he could hear his very heart
best; but he held on until his brother
returned!
It was the supreme test of endur
ance. of manly fortitude, of moral and
physical courage—and Boone won!
Through adversity such as we of to
day would tie quite unable to appre
ciate. through privation and trial such
aa the dweller In the twentieth cen
tury city would be powerless to pic
ture to himself, Hoone held on until
he founded a commonwealth and
paved the way for that common
wealth’s admission Into the sisterhood
of states.
With the grand old pioneer’s career
I am not now espe,-tally concerned. The
story of that career ought to he fa
miliar to every American; but upou
the story of this man's silent endur
ance and sublime soul courage we can
not ton long dwell!
What an easy time we have today!
Everything Is done for ua. The orok-
ed is mnde straight ami the rough
places plain, and all that we have to
do Is to accept the patrimony unto
which we are horn.
We boast of the blessings of our
"civilization;” but It Is a question
whether, with all of our modern civ
ilization, we have In our midst any
thing that can be compared, In real
worth and true merit, with the mag
nificent soul-poise seen In the charac
ter of such men as Daniel Boone.
AMENDMENTS NEEDED
TO THE HEPBURN BILL.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
The three great amendments to add
to the Hepburn bill nre:
!. That n railroad shall not raise nn
existing rate, without first getting the
consent of the Interstate commerce
commission.
2. That the commission shall have
the power to prescribe a uniform class
Ificatlon of freight for railroads.
(Rallronds change articles of freight
from a low classification to a class!
Ovation bearing a higher rate and thus
Indirectly raise the rate, and the
public does not see how It was done.)
3. Give the power to the commis
sion to fix the bnnn fide value of rail
road property. Tills will meet the
railroads when they go Into the courts
claiming nnd plendlng thnt they are
not making a fair proflt 'on tlielr In
vestment.
But nearly all rallronds have u
swindling Investment.
Study this letter a little and talk to
your railroad commission or Its secre
tary and educate your people in It.
It ts a great question and I know
that but few public men study It. Free
passes have heretofore been a very
keen question for them and fully occu
pied their time. W. B. LAMAR.

A SON OF GEORGIA
GIVES HIS OPINION.
To the Editor of The Georgian: %
I regard that The Atlanta News,
more than any other one Indirect In
fluence, was responsible for your re
cent race riots. Its position doubt
less caused It to feel the need of an
Issue with which to claim public favor
and notice, but Intemperate public dis
cussion of this delicate question Is a
lanqerou* thing. Politics, selflshne**
and personal ambition get a (w>opie
Into lots of trouble. We le** need
lenders than we do tribunes of the best

THE GEORGIAN'S
HIGH CONSERVATISM
(Montgomery (Ala.) Times.)
As to John Temple Oravea and lb
newspapers inciting the riots, that 1
tho veriest rot. No man In Georgia ha
more persistently counseled conserva
tlsm and Justice that Mr. Graves an
hls newspaper. So have other A Rant
newspapers, with one exception, an
newspapers everywhere In the Soul!
An intelligent and observant Northern
er, who had lived Houth for more tha
a year, nnd In the very hotbed of tb
recent trouble, too, would hardly hav
written such a card to The New Yor
World, or any other publication.
The card Is Just about what m&j
have been expected from that cine* •
cranks who persistently refuse to !>*■
Ileve what Is before their eyes If t
fends to excuse the South In resentlfT
and punishing this unspeakable crim
of the benighted and “much-abuim
brother In black.’* Providence Is to n
thanked that the better element *
Northerners, the kind who will not
anything to get their names In tn
newspapers, have an entirely dlfferer.
and reasonable conception of the trial
through which the South ha* p«* 8 *
In these assaults. They sympathlz
with the people.
It Is nil very well to get up in n ire
and prate about ••outrages” commute
In Atlanta, though as a matter of fa*’
they are to be deplored, but no ren
understanding of the situation can n*
arrived at until a similar one
brought home to n community. Vbj

will not do to overlook the fact tha'
the crimes that occasion It should b*
condemned a thousand times m>r»
strongly.
