of Individual*. We feel that It would be unjust to the
majority of our fellow citizens who love to travel up and
down this thoroughfare.
Of course. If the time ever comes when nny very
pronounced majority of the residents of Peachtree street
should petition the city council to remove the street car
tracks, The Georgian would feel, whatever Its personal
preference, that It had nothing more to say and no fur
ther right to protest.
But Ikr the present nt least, and with our present
light, and tinder present conditions, we feel that the prop
osition of removal will Inure only to the benefit of the
rich and fortunate few and will result In great Inconven
ience and loss to the many of moderate means.
So that we trust that the city council will render an
unfavorable nuswer to the proposition when It comes be
fore that body.

Some Other Local Heroes.
The laurels and crowns for gallant daring and excel
lent service have been freely distributed by the public
voices of Atlanta among the many Individuals and organl-
rations who have participated effectively In the pro'
tectlon and good order of the city during our recent
strenuous week.
Songs of praise have been sung to the colonel of the
Fifth regiment, to his gallant officers and to his splendid
men. Words of approval have been spoken for the may
or and the police. Strong commendation has been ut
tered for the shorlfT and his deputies. And, most of the
heroes In the recent unpleasantness have received their
reward In the chorus of ayproval which conies from
their fellow citizens.
There yet remains ono class as richly entitled to ap
plause and ndmlrntlon as nny thnt have yet been named.
No word of approval has yet been spoken of their pa
tient, heroic and unfaltering devotion to essential duty
during this week of danger and uncertainty. In season
and out of season, day and night. In rain or shine, moving
along the turbulent highways and passing through bat
teries of guns In the hands of rioters on the one hand
and negroes on the other—In the suburbs of the town,
shot at by the lawless, and made (lie center, of half the
assaults and sieges of (he fateful night of the 22d of Sep
tember— and yet without a murmur, without complaint,
without hesitation and without faltering for one moment
In the high and courageous discharge of their duty, the
conductors and motormen of the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company have remained nt their postB and con
ducted their difficult and yet essential duties with the
courage of Spartans and tile fidelity of Casablanca.
No body of men who iiave yet been mentioned de
serve more credit and are entitled to richer praise than
this gallant and faithful company of men—mostly young
men—who have won bo much of the good will and confi
dence of their fellow citizens.
We trust It is not yet loo late to lift our hats In re
spect to the splendid company of conductors and motor-
men who run the street railways of Atlanta,
We Oppose the Peachtree Boulevard.
It Is by no means because our esteemed contempora
ry of The Journal Is advocating the removal of the
street car tracks from Peachtree street that Tho Geor
gian feels Itself moved to oppose the proposition.
We agree with The Journal In so many larger things
that we can well ntford to differ from It In some of the
little things In which Its foot occasionally slips.
And In this particular matter, while we are acquit
ting The Journal of any personal selfishness In the mat
ter, we do not hesitate to sny that the proposition seems
sot almost exclusively to tho Interests of the aristocratic
few ngalnst the convenience of the many.
Tho Interviews which our contemporary offers to the
public favoring this proposition, come In the main from
those who nre fortunate enough to own automobiles and
handsome equipages which make them entirely Indepon
dent of the street cars and Indifferent to their location
upon any street.
But wo feel confident that the great majority of the
people of Peachtree street would bo seriously Inconven
ienced and therefore seriously opposed lo the removal
of the afreet car service upon which they now depend.
There are scarcely two-sevenths of the people on
Peachtree street who own carriages or automobiles
There arc fully five-sevenths who arc dependent upon
their passage to and from the heart of the city upon the
street car lines which pass In front of their door*. I
pie of moderato means, busy people, merchants, ladles
who shop and people who boartl, would all find it a very
great Inconvenience to walk lo another street In order to
board a car for the trip to town. The transverse blocks
on both sides of Peachtree street are very long blocks
and the time consumed Itt walking them would be bad
enough In dry weather, but n very great Inconvenience
In wet weather. In addition to the fact that coming from
an opposite block they would be compelled lo wait ill the
o|h>ii for the arrival of the cars.
More than this, Peachtree street Is the great beauty
street of Atlanta. It Is our most beautiful thoroughfare.
We arc all proud of It and delighted to show It to our
visitors and to have our visitors carry home with them
a remembrance of this beautiful avenue of stately homes.
To do this now It la perfectly easy for a citizen of
small means to carry Ills guests on a street car ride for
the full length of the street or have the occasional visi
tor at small expense to take a Peachtree car and ride up
and down Its length to see the rotstl, heart of the
city. Both of these classes would he completely thrown
out of plumb by the necessity of hiring a cab, or a car
riage, or an automobile at considerable expense, or as an
alternative to let the famous thoroughfare go unseen.
It Is n notable fact that Euclid avenue, universally
conceded to be the moat beautiful residence street In
America, Is traversed from end to end by the street rail
way system. It Is so with the almost equally famous
Delaware avenue la Buffalo. It Is true among the most
beautilul streets In the beautiful city of homes, that we
call St. Bouts. It Is true hi Auburn, Avondale. Clifton—
»uburl>8 of Cincinnati, and we scarcely know a city of
Importance In the country on w hich Its proud and noblest
thoroughfare Is not laid open lo the observation and en-
Atlanta’s Pressing Need.
It is an open question whether a great armory and
convention IiaJJ would not be as useful to Atlanta at this
time as the exposition which we so earnestly advocated,
and which now in all human probability wc will post
pone.
Ceuta inly there are some sound and able citizens who
believe that the armory and convention hail would fill
OUR PLA TFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec
tric light plants, as it now owns its water works- 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 wc 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 NOIV
MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT
OF SOUTHERN RESOURCES
the greatest and most practical need of tills great city at
the present time. Atlanta Is the natural convention city
of tho New South. There Is not an organization of any
kind In the republic that does not listen kindly to an In
vitation lo come hero for their annual sessions, and there
arc few organizations which have ever declined when sufll
clentlv and properly urged to visit us. If tills Is true In
the past, It will undoubtedly be more and more true In tho
future, because Atlanta's fame Is ever growing. Its cen
trality Is recognized, and Its representative character for
progress and liberality Is always growing throughout tho
republic. •
Tho ono handicap that we have had to our prof
fered hospitality In the past has been the narrowness and
restricted scope of our convention hall. Wo have had to
shift about from place to place, from hall to hall, some-
tlmea going lo the cnpltol, somotlmcs traveling two miles
to Piedmont park, sometimes borrowing the uso of the
slate cnpltol from the Btnto authorities lo make a hall of
assembly for our guests, hut never nnywhero or nt any
time feeling confident or satisfied In our capacity to give
them the scope or room which they demanded.
Wo have an Illustration of this defect during tho
present week. Tills large and splendid company of the
druggists of America hnvc had to split Into sections In
order to hold their great meetings and >o give scope to
their deliberations.
Wo nre going to have n much more Imprcsslvo object
lescon within the next fortnight when the carriage build
ers and wagon makers, numerically the greatest organi
zation which ever met In Atlanta In answer to our offer
of hospitality, nre coming lo find that wc have nothing
within the convenient limits of the city that Is large
enough to house them and to make them comfortable In
their deliberations while they arc here.
The very urgency of this necessity ought to he the
strongest appeal to tho active and diligent workers among
our citizens. We have already stressed tho urgent need of
this great building for the use of our citizens' soldiery,
we do not need to recapitulate thnt argument. These
splendid volunteers who have so recently demonstrated
their courage and loyalty nnd willingness to bravo danger
and lo lose rest nnd to sleep on their arms during the
moist and dampness of the early fall, has emphasized ns
nothing else has ever done the grateful duty of this peo
ple to provide for their comfort, nnd convenience, nnd In
so doing lo piovldo for our own peace, protection and
welfare.
If we are not to have the exposition we afe thoroughly
convinced that tho subsermers to that great enterprise
can do nothing better than to contribute tho whole, or nl
leaHt tho major part, of their subscriptions to Atlanta's
chief and pressing necessity for an nrmory nnd conven-

Home; M. M. Davies, secretary for
Georgia of the Sunday schools home
department; William I>. Upshaw, ed
itor of The Golden Age, and others
ell known In Sunday school work on
hand to tell what they know, there Is
no doubt of the rally's success.

new Sunday school room of the Cen
tral Presbyterian church represented
nearly every Sunday school In Atlanta
nnd suburbs.
The speakers In the evening were
Major (culnn on. “The Organized Sun
day School;” Mr. Upshaw, on "The

CROSS NORTHERN LABRADOR
tlon hall.
A Brave, Clear Editor of the Northwest.
Tho bravest, broadest nnd fairest comment yet made
by a Northern newspaper upon the Atlanta riot is the
editorial which we cpioto todny from The Minneapolis
Tribune.
The editor of The Tribune is one of the' ablest r.nd
most Influential men of tho great northwest. He Is a
lender of tho Republican party, nnd is reckoned a scholar
and thinker of a superior order. The Tribune is one of
tho two great papers of tho northwest.
It Is refreshing nnd Inspiring to find an Americanism
ho broad that It can rise above the mists of partisanship
or the narrow lines of section and view a great question
In Its true and Just perspective.
Few men lmve the great capacity to see both sides
of a question, and when you discover such a man y
found one of the great souls of fils time.

“THE HEIR TO THE HOORAH”

It was a source of genuine pleasure

that It stayed for only one perform

They do not write many like it these
days. The plot rather antedates the
flood, but the old things arc always the
best and Paul Armstrong worked the
ancient Idea up Into new situations
and a thoroughly entertaining play. He
hovered long around a delicate subject

the amusing features without inflicting
on his audience anything that was

“Playing the Game.”
The first modern comedy presented
by Joseph and William W. Jefferson
which will bo seen Friday night nnd
Saturday at the Grand, Is called "Play
ing the Game." It portrays one of the
latest phases of New York life, nnd it
Is the work of Cleveland Moffett and
Hartley Davis, writers of long experi
ence who arc thoroughly familiar with
the subject. It is a comedy of man
ners, an Interesting story told In
genuine fun,. real humor and
cheerful optimism. It has real people
In It; the kind of people you like to
know. Some of them are brilliant, and
still others sound a note of pathos and
tender sentiment. The Jetfersons hnvo
given tho comedy a splendid produc
tion. The first act is In one of the
handsomest rooms of the most famous
hotel In the world, the Waldorf-As-
torla In Now York, the rending room.
This Is reproduced with great fidelity.
It cost $500 merely to reproduce the
splendid chandeliers of deer's antlers
their brilliant electric lights,
which gives an idea of the mag
nificence of the settings.
The second act Is an exact repro
duction of the studio In the Bryant
Park building In New York, and which
Is famous on both sides of the Atlan-
These studios rent at prices rang
ing from $3,000 to $7,500 per year.
Kven New York hasn’t so many artists
who can pay that, and people of
wealth with artistic tastes, like Mrs.
Ward in "Playing the Game," are al-
ays glad to rent them when they
ivo the opportunlt.v. The restaurant
hloh is referred to In the comedy is
tho famous Cafe des Beaux Arts, which
Is In the building. The studio which Is
represented In "Playing the Game,"
was long occupied by an old friend of
one of the authors. In order to give
the scene the richness nnd beauty
rleserves, the Messrs. Jefferson carry

your husband’s love never explode. May
your married life be like a broad, level
macadamized road, along which you
will 'chug, chug’ in perfect happiness."
With those words did Justice of the
Peace James Ludlow end a pretty little
marriage ceremony In Jersey City.
Cupid was in an auto and wore gog
gles for the occasion, so the big-hearted
magistrate gave his final admonitions
to the happy pair In the auto lan
guage.
The bride was Miss Anna Ryan of
Hackensack, and the groom was James
( hicaester, of New York. Thev were
out driving when they decided that the
ceremony could not be over too soon
so they pulled up at the Jersey city
police station and asked Sergeant Rlur-
dan where the nearest magistrate could
be found. Magistrate Ludlow came
beaming out of the station nnd said-
"Get ready, the auto will do."
The marriage license was made out
and signed on the sergeant's desk.
A dispatch from Berlin says that
Germany Is threatened with pn Amer
ican meat trust similar to that which
controls the meat Industry In the Unit
ed States. Announcement of the fact
has caused a revival of the "American
peril'' scare.
An American syndicate Is reported to
be negotiating with leading German
meat firms for the purpose of their es
tablishments. It proposes to capture
a majority of the German companies
engaged In this line of Industry with
the purpose of cornuring the canned
meat Industry In Germany.
The trust will bo conducted on the
lines of tho American trust, and con
trolled by American capital. Neon-
all the newspapers devote considerable
space to exploiting the schemes of the
asndlcatc and condemning the propos
ed trust. The Morgen Post takes the
lead In this campaign of attack, edito
rially warning the “American Inva
ders" to keep hands off. Similar com
ments are made by a dozen other news
papers.
Failure of a husband to provide his
wife with food does not entitle her to a
divorce, according to a ruling by Judge
Withrow, of St. Louis, Mo., who dis
missed the divorce application of Mrs.
Emma Arnold against E. C. Arnold.
"Nothing to eat Is undoubtedly not
pleasant," said the court, "but It Is
only a link In a ehnln of Indignities
Justlfyng legal separation. A divorce
cannot be granted on that ground
alone."
"My husband was earning SIS a

THE ONLY WAY TO
AVERT RACE WAR.
(From The Minneapolis Tribune.)
If the appalling statement of Mr.
John Temple Graves be true, the At
lanta mob that killed a dozen negroes
Sunday may well express, like Clive
In India, "surprise at its own mmlorn-
huve
.No other Northern editor has Illustrated such
elenr conception of the conditions of tho South, nnd no
other has been bo frank nnd true In expressing an ap-
pi eolation of the enormous provocation which sometimes
moves the South to a violation of the law.
The clear mind of Tho Tribune seems capable of put
ting Itself for n moment in the place of the people whom
it judges, and while The Tribune does not for n moment
uphold the moh, it recognises, as few papers aro broad
nough to recognize, the monstrous provocation which
makes the mob.
And like the frank, brave gentleman that he is, the
editor of The Tribune does not hestitate to put It up to
his own people, whether or not they would have done ns
Atlanta did—under tho same appalling conditions.
The Georgian congratulates the South upon having
found in the Twin Cities of'the great West one great
lintrolling v «lee which is fair enough to realize its sur
passing problems and frank enough to state them In
words of truth and soberness. Read The Tribune edito
rial.
