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 organi
sations who have participated effectively In the pro-
tectioh 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 boen spoken for the may
or and the police. Strong commondatlon has been ut
tered for the sheriff and his deputies. And. most of the
heroes In the recent unpleasantness have received their
reward In the chorus’of approval which comos from
their fellow citizens.
There yet remains one class as richly entitled to ap
plause and ndmlrntlon ns any that 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-
• terles of guns In the hands of rioters on the one band
and negroes on the other—In the suburbs of the town,
shot at by the lawless, and made the center of half the
assaults and sieges of the fateful night of the 22d of Sep
tember—and yot without a murmur, without complaint,
without hesitation and without faltering for one moment
In the high and courageous discharge of their duty, tho
conductors and motormsn of the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company have remained at their posts and con
ducted their difficult and yet essential duties with the
courage of Spartans and the fidelity of Casablanca.
No body of men who nave yet been mentioned de
serve more credit and are entitled to richer praise than
this gallant nnd faithful company of men—mostly young
men—who have won so much of the good will and confi
dence of their fellow, citizens.
We trust It Is not yet too late to lift our hats In re
spect to the splendid compnny of conductors nnd motor-
men Who run the street railways of Atlanta.
We Oppose the Peachtree Boulevard.
it Is by no means because our esteemed contemiiorn-
ry of The Journal Is advocating the removal of tho
•treet car tracka 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 afford to differ from It In some of the
little things In which Its foot occasionally slips.
And in this particular matter, whllo wo are acquit-
Ung The Journal of any personal selflshness In tho mat
ter, we do not hesitate to say that the proposition seems
set almost exclusively to the Interests of tho aristocratic
few against the convenience of the many.
The Interviews which our coutompornry offers to the
public favoring this proposition, come In tho mnln from
those who are fortunate enough to own automobiles nnd
handsome equipages which make them entirely indepen
dent of the atreet cars and indifferent to their location
upon any street.
But we feel confident that the great majority of the
people of Peachtree atreet would be seriously Inconven
ienced and therefore seriously opposed to the removal
of the street car service upon which they now depend.
There nre scarcely two-sevenths of tho people on
Peachtree street who own carriages or automobiles.
There aro fully five-sevenths who aro dependent upon
their passage to and from the heart of the city upon the
atreet car tinea which pass in front of their doors. Peo
ple of moderate meant, busy people, merchants, ladles
who abop and people who board, would all find It a very
great Inconvenience to walk to another street In order to
board a car for the trip to tnwu. The transverse blocks
on both aides of Peachtreo street are very long-blocks
and the time consumed In walking them would be bnd
enough in dry weather, but n very great Inconvenience
In wet weather. In addition to tho fact that coming from
an opposite block they would be compelled to wait In tho
open for the arrival of tho cars.
More than this, Peachtree street Is the great beauty
street of Atlanta. It la our moat beautiful thoroughfare.
We are 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 Is perfectly easy for a citizen of
small means to carry his guests on n street car ride for
the full length of the street or have tho occasional visi
tor at small expense to take a Peachtree car and ride up
and down Ita length to see the rclsdr«-e heart of the
city. Both of these classes would be completely thrown
out of plumb by the necessity of hiring a cab, or a car
riage, or an automobile at considerable expense, or ns an
alternative to let the ramous thoroughfare go unseen.
It Is a notable fact that Euclid avenue, universally
conceded to be the most 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 In Buffalo. It Is true among the most
beautiful streets In the beautiful city of homes, that wo
call Bt. Louts. It Is true In Auburn, Avondale. Clifton—
suburbs of Cincinnati, and wo scarcely know a city of
Importance In the country on which its proud nnd noblest
thoroughfare 1s not laid open to the observation and en
joyment of the people through this open mode of trans
portation.
For those reasons. The Georgian feels moved to pro
test In behalf of the majority of the people of Peachtree
street against the proposition to i amove Us chief con
venience and Its greatest facility for tho greatest number
of individuals. 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 any very
pronounced majority of the residents of Peachtree street
should petition the city council to remove the street ear
tracks. The Georgian would feel, whatever Its personal
preference, that It bad nothing more to say and no fur
ther right to protest
But for tha present at least, and with our present
light, and under present conditions, we feel that-the prop
osition of removal will Inure only to the benefit of the
rich and fortunate few and will reault In great-lnconven
Icnce, and loaa to the many of moderate means.
So that we trust that the city council will render an
unfavorable answer to the proposition when It comes be
fore that body.
Atlanta’s Pressing Need.
It la an open question whether a great armory and
convention hall would not be as useful to Atlanta at this
time as the expos'itlon which wo so earnestly advocated,
and which now In all human probability we will post
pone.
Certainly there are some sound and able citizens who
believe that the armory and convention halt would fill
the greatest and most practical need of this great city at
the present time. Atlanta is the natural convention city
of the NcW South. There Is not an organization of any
kind In the republic that does not listen kindly to an In-
vltatlon to come here for their annual sessions, and there
arc few organizations which have ever declined when suffl
clently and properly urged to visit us. If this Is true In
the past, it-will-undoubtedly be more and more true in the
future, becauee Atlanta’s fame Is ever growing, Its cen
trallty Is recognized, nnd Its representative character for
progress and liberality Is always'growlng throughout the
republic.
Tha one handicap that we have had to our prof
fered hospitality In the past has been tho narrowness and
restricted scope of our convention hall. Wo have had to
shift about from place to place, from hall to hall, some
times going to the capltot, sometimes traveling two miles
to Piedmont park, sometimes borrowing the use of the
state capitol from the state authorities to make a hall of
assembly for our gueats, but never anywhere or at nny
time foellng confident or satisfied In our capacity to give
■them thq scope or room which they demanded.
We have an Illustration of this defect during tho
present week. This large nnd splendid company of the
druggists of America have had to split Into sections in
order to hold their great meetings and to give scope to
their deliberations.
We are going to have a much more Impressive object
lesson within tho next fortnight when the carriage build
ers and wagon makers, numerically the greatest organi
zation which over met In Atlanta In answer to our offer
of hospitality, are coming to find that we have nothing
within the convenient limits of tho city that Is large
enough to house them and to mako them comfortable In
their deliberations while they nre here.
Tho very urgency of this necessity ought to be tho
strongest appeal to tho active and diligent workors among
our citizens. Wo have already stressed the urgent need of
this great building for the use of our citizens' soldiery,
we do not need to recapitulate that argumont. These
splendid volunteers who have so recently demonstrated
their courage and loyalty and willingness to brave danger
and to lose rest and to sleep on their arms during tho
moist and dampness of the early fall, has emphasized as
nothing else hns ever done the grateful duty of this peo
ple to provide for their comfort and,convenience, and In
so doing to provide for our own peace, protection and
welfare.
If wo are not to have tho exposition wo are thoroughly
convinced that the subsenoora to that great enterprise
can do nothing better than to contribute the wholo, or at
least the major part, of their subscriptions to Atlanta's
chief and pressing necessity for an armory nnd conven
tion hall. ‘
A Brave,Clear Editor of the Northwest.
The bravest, broadoat and talreat comment yet made
by a Northern newspaper upon .tho Atlanta riot Is tho
editorial which wo quote today from Tho Minneapolis
Tribune.
Tho editor of The Tribune Is one of the ablest and
most Influential men of the great northwest. He Is a
leador of tho Republican party, and Is reckoned a scholar
and thinker of a superior order. The Tribune Is one of
the two great papers of the northwest.
It Is refreshing and Inspiring to find an Americanism
so 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.
Fow men have tile great capacity to see both sides
of a question, nnd when you discover such a man you
lmvo found one of the great souls of his time.
No other Northern editor has Illustrated such a
clear conception of tho conditions of the South, and no
other hns been so frank and true In expressing an ap
preciation of the enormous provocation which sometimes
moves tho South to a violation of tho law.
The clear mind of The Tribune seems callable of put
ting itself for a moment In the place of tho people whom
It Judges, and while Tho Tribune docs not for a moment
uphold the mob. It recognizes, as few papers are broad
enough to recognlzo, the monstrous provocation which
makes the mob.
And like tho frank, brave gentleman that he la. the
editor of Tho Tribune does not hestltate to put It up to
his own people, whether or not they would have done as
Atlanta did—under the same appalling conditions.
The Georgian congratulates the South upon having
found In the Twin Cities of the great West one great
controlling voice which is fair enough to realize Its sur
passing problems and frank enough to stats them In
words of truth and soberness. Read The Tribune edito
rial.
OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning ifsown 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 arc, there is no good reason why they
can not be so operated here. But we do no! 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

SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY
IS A NOTABLE MEETING
The Sunday school rally, which be
gan Thursday afternoon under the aus
plcea. of the Atlanta Sunday School
Union and which will continue
throughout Friday, Is In many respects
the most notable event of Its kind in
the religious history of Atlanta.
With such efficient workers as Mrs.
Woodbridge Barnes, of Newark, N.
J. f International secretary of the prl
mary and junior departments of the
Sabbath School; Major K. J. Quinn,
who so successfully directed the cam
paign for the building of the Atlanta
dormitory at the Decatur Orphans'
Home; M. M. Davies, secretary for
Georgia of the Sunday schools home
department; William D. Upshaw, ed
itor of The Golden Age, and others
well known In Sunday 'school work on
hand to tell what they know, there Is
no doubt of the rally’s success.
Thursday afternoon nnd evening tho
attendance nt the meetings held at the
new Sunday school room of the Cen
tral Presbyterian church represented
nearly every Sunday school In Atlanta
and suburbs.
The speakers In the evening were
Major Guinn on "The Organized Sun
day School;” Mr. Upshaw, on "The
Personal Touch," and Mrs. Barnes on
the Junior department work. The mu
sic was led by the chorus of the Wes
ley Memorial church under the direc
tion of A. C. Boatman.

! AT THE THEATERS
“THE HEIR TO THE HOORAH"
SCORES ANOTHER BIG HIT.
It whs a source of genuine pleasure
to have “The Heir to the Hoorah" In
Atlanta again, and of genuine regret
that It stayed for only one perform
ance.
They do not write many like It these
days. The plot rather antedates the
flood, but the old things arc always tho
best and Paul Armstrong worked the
ancient Idea up Into new situations
and a thoroughly entertaining play. He
hovered long around a delicate subject
or two and succeeded In bringing out
the amusing features without Inflicting
on his audience anything that was
oven Indelicate.
Guy< Bates Post was as clever and
convincing as ever and his supporting
company was good without exception.

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 Cilve
In Indln, "surprise at Its own modern
lion."
There Is no shadow of Justification
fbr the massacre, which punished the
Innocent for the guilty. Hut a com
munity outraged to madness in Its
tenderest sentiments never yet remem
bered Justice In Its vengeance. The
death of the Innocent Is to be deplored
ns much ns the escape of the guilty.
It Is no defense of mob law to admit
the horrid truth that any people living
In dally, deadly terror of the worst fate
for Ita women from tho lowest Indi
viduals of a sepnrate race with which
It Is In contact, hopeless of security or
retribution from Inw, will fleet destroy
the guilty of that race, nnd Anally, If
that do not serve, will blend tho In
nocent with them In one red slaughter,
it Is necessary for the sober and Intel
ligent of both races In the South to
realize this primitive truth.
The North Is learning more reason In
Its dealing with the Southern whites.
What community anyVhere would en
dure the state of things described by
Mr. Graves, eleven outrages In a fen-
weeks and only four of them punished,
ending with four In n single day? What
community ought to endure It? That
race whose men can not or will not
protect Its women Is not flt to continue
on earth.
There Is only one way to avert the
race war whose horrors afflict the
Imaginations of both races In the
South. The remedy Is In the hands
of the great majority of reasonably
moral nnd law-abiding negroes. Let
them denounce, run down and give up
to punishment the guilty minority on
all public and private occasions. In
churchee, conventions, neighborhood
gatherings,' families and Individually.
Let them separate themselves from
the depraved of their race In lls crime*.
In order to win separation In the
prompt and wholesale punishment that
Is Impending.
In oMer that the whole black rnce
may be safe In the South, or nnyvhere
else, nil the women of the while race
must lie safe there. Law has failed to
make them safe. Lynching of Individ
uals has not done It. What other wai
ls there? The one sure and thorough
way Is toe dreadful for thought. It
would destroy one race and save the
other, diminished nnd crippled, only
for eternal disgrace on a lower plane
of civilization. No race would face
this appalling sacrifice for any weaker
motive than the salvation of Ita wom
en. For that men march to moral and
physical death like a soldier to battle.
Every terrifying aspect of the race
question In the South would disappear
In a moment. If the white women could
bo assured the universal security they
enjoyed till the first generation of
blacks born In freedom grew to ma
turity. It Is the business of the worthy
blacks to establish this security by
teaching nnd example, ns they did then.
Apparently It can he done In no other
way. The fate of the whole race Is in
tlielr hand*.
“Playing the Gemo.”
The first modern comedy presented
by Joseph nnd William W. Jefferson
which will be seen Friday night' and
Saturday at the Grand, Is called "Play
ing the Game." It portrays one of the
latest phases of New York life, and It
Is the work of Cleveland Moffett and
Hartley Davis, writers of long experi
ence who nre 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 JelTersons have
given tho comedy a splendid produc
tion. The first net Is In one of the
hnndsomest rooms of the most famous
hotel fn tho world, the Waldorf-As
toria In New York, the reading room.
This Is reproduced with great fidelity.
It cost $600 merely to reproduce the
splendid chandeliers of deer’s antlers
with their brilliant electric lights,
which gives an Idea of the mag
nificence of the settings.
The Beeond act Is an exact repro
ductlon of the studio In the Bryant
Park building In New York, and which
Is famous on both sides of the Atlan
tic. These studios rent at prices rang
ing from 13,000 to 17,600 per year.
Even New York hasn't so many artists
who can pay that, and people
wealth with artistic tastes, like Mrs,
Ward In "Playing the Game," are al
ways glad to rent them when they
have the opportunity. The restaurant
which Is referred to In the comedy Is
the famous Caffc dcs Beaux Arts, which
is In the building. Tho studio which Is
represented In "Playing the Game,"
was’ long occupied' by an old friend of
one of tho authors. In order to give
the scene tho richness and beauty It
deserves, the Messrs. Jefferson carry
tome of the handsomest and most ex
pensive furniture ever seen on the
stage. They do not even trust to ob
taining grand pianos of the kind they
want, so they carry one with them, a
very expensive detail, eloquent of the
character of the production.
Thin proiluftlon will be seen at the
Grand for three performances.
“Sultsn of Sulu.”
An American musical satire will be
the attraction at the Grand Monday
and Tuesday next.
The operetta emanates from the
brain of that famous author of “Fables
In Slnng." George Adc, nnd the music
1* by Alfred G. Wathatl. It Is entitled
"Tho Sultan of Sulu," and deal* with
the nrrlvnl of Uncle Sam's expedition
to the Philippine Islands to Introduce
American civilization nninng the sub
ject* of the comic potentate. A large
company will be seen In the merry,
tuneful operas.
BIGHT OF WAY DEEDS

ALFONSO WANTS DISHOP
PROSECUTED DY CACINET.
Successful Week at Bijou.
With three tnoro performances to Its

Hap Ward Is a prime favorite with
local theatergoers and he Is ably as
sisted by Lucy Daly and Fred Wyckoff.
The chorus In made up of the prettiest

Withrow, of St. Louts, Mo„ who dls-
