Tribune li'dg., Chicago, The Georgian calls the attention of Its multitude of correspondents to these facts: That all communications 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 readers. 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. Twain Thorc 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. BURGE88 8MITH. OOCH>OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVOOO o o O NOOKS AND CORNERS O O OF AMERICAN HISTORY. O O O O DANIEL BOONE. O o o 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. NAVY CHAPLAIN ARRE8TED FOR PROTECTING 8AILOR8.

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 thought of the large thoughtful class patriotic citizens to be found In every county and state. A SON OF GEORGIA. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 27.
