CHICAGO OFFICE TRIBUNE BUILDING NEW YORK OFFICE POTTER BUILDING OUR PLATFORM---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 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 Allanta should set its face in that direction NO W The Journal, which has fought so strenuously for this principle in another form, to bring its state theory to a practical application in this city in which weiive and to lend its energy and influence to the municipal control and ownership of the great commodity of light.

Saturday Evening. Athwart the glory of an October day, droop tho lengthening ahadowa that portend the coming of the autumnal night "Over the undulating, amber-colored fielda, where the golden-rod wave* It* radiant bannera; through Sbuthern foreata, where the brilliant aumac lifts lta flam' ing bead, add the crimson blackgum leaves glow like lan terns amid the dark green foliage, tho crickets croon their goodnight song, to the passing day, and to the sum mer well-night apent. Winds and rains have made chill and gray the beauty.and brightness ot many an autumn day, and the aun has hid hla cheerful face behind many a dismal cloud these few October daya thus far vouchsafed to man. But, as a benediction comes alike the lengthening ■hadows; the descending storms, the glint and glow ot goldenrod, sumac and black gum, and the Insistent croon Ing ot the tireless crickets. Through all the dispense tlons that environ humanity, run like a parti-colored thread ths sermons that nature preaches to the listening sons and daughters of men. God has writ marvelous texts upon flood and Held across the myatertous darkneaa ot the autumn night, itv the warble of birds and on the quiet walla ot a city's great hospital, from which the aoul reads sermons be yond the tongue of man to expound. One such sermon la dally preached by silent, childish lips In one of thq noble hospitals of this philanthropic city. A little child, pallid from years ot Buffering and help less Inactivity, alts day by day In hla invalid's chair with no word of complaint or sign ot impatience at hla hopeless fate. On bright, sunny days—days when the goldenrod flaunts its bannera far afield—this little “pilgrim of tho night" le wheeled by kindly hands out Into the blessed sunshine where he greets the paisers-by with smiles and with a tweet recognition of the break In the monoto ny of bis dreary life. When the clouds lower nnd*the winds howl viciously around ths great building sacred to suffering and death, thlt game little human wait quietly preaches bit sermon of acqultacence to an army of doc tors, nurses and patients In the wide corridors of the hospital, where he li ministered unto by alert and tender hands. A picture or abort story lessens the tedium of the gray, colorless days of the helpless cripple, and strange to tell, the merry pranks and boyish frolics of vital Butter Brown appeal with peculiar algnlflcanco to him whose paralysed limbs can never know the privilege of motion. Oreater In power than the pulpits ot Barth’s most eloquent orators la the rolling chslr, wherein sits from morn till night this little brave and cheerful cripple whose helpless body is an Incarnate sermon. * Men and women whose hearts have been torn with mighty atorma of sorrow, looking upon the white, patient face ot this little boy, hear the voice of Ood amid the tu mult and see His smile through the almost Impenetra bio gloom. , Whether there be clouds or sunshine; whether the goldenrod, sumac ana crimson-leaved black gum tell their story of the passing summer and coming winter, 01 whether Joy or sorrow fall to the Individual lot ot man, tho fact remains inviolate that the most wonderful ser mons In God's universe are preached by Hie most In significant Instruments. The smile of hope and reelgna tlon on the face of that helpless child has illuminated the way to higher and nobler thtnga in many a de spairing human soul, it has made a pathway straight acrgsi tho waters of affliction up to the very throne ot God. Close to this little pilgrim of the night hover the angels whose songs make melody above the turbulence ot rebellious hearts. And they who Journey on "rest beside the weary road to hear these angels sing," while the crimson and gold ot autumn blossoms, the warble ot birds and the chirp of Insects tell of that Master hand which continues to direct all thing* aright Justice to a Negro College. A very considerable and undeserved injustice has been done by outalde newspaper reports to Clark Univer sity in connection with the recent riot In Atlanta. Certain dispatches have been sent abroad which would s*em to name Clark University as a rendes- voua and shelter for the criminals of the race, and Its officials as hiding and aiding In the escape of those male factors against law and order. This rumor Is entirely and absolutely undeserved. The president of Clark University It Dr. W. H. Crog- man, and those who know him among the white race are fairly, cordially and fully of the opinion that he It qua of the strongest and best executive factors among tha ne gro race toward the promotion of law, order and good conduct. Dr. Crogman Is committed both by precept and by practice to the belief that every criminal agatnit the law should not be sheltered by his own people, but given over to tbe officers of the law and speedily brought to Justice. He has steadily refused to shelter any negro of suspicious character within the walls or buildings of the university, and he has spoken and acted his belief that the highest duty of kail aspiring negroes was to co-operate with the white race In the detection and punishment of all criminals and offenders The recent rumors about Clark University are ab- J soluttly unjust In tho fact that they state that the or ganized student body of the Institution was up in arms to resist the policemen and the soldiers In preserving order. In point of fact, the riot of the 22d occurred Just five days before the fall opening of Clark University, and on the evening In questloh, and the two succeeding even ings, there were only two negro students upon the grounds of tbe university. We say this much In simple Justice to a worthy rep resentative of bis race, and to a college which has al ways reflected credit upon Its founders and Its faculty. We Start the Convention Hall Fund. A great and growing city like Atlanta Is con- stanUy developing tbe need of new and Important public Institutions. The superb growth of the city la dally emphasizing this necessity and forcing to the front those enterprises which are most pressing and urgent In their demands. Atlanta needs many things Just now. She needs them badly and she must In time possess them all—as a twentieth century city should. Let us go at them one at a time and get them. Just at this time It Is the common consensus of opinion among our leading business men that Atlanta's most urgent need Is a great building which can be used for a city ball, for an armory and for a convention audi torium. This Is the Immediate and pressing necessity of our municipal Ilfs. The need presses upon three great classes who are fairly comprehensive of the city, and In whose combined strength and influence we can go forward to cbnquer and attain. The city needs a new ball. Its present cramped quar ter was built for a town of 50,000 people and la scarcely large enough for that number, and totally Inadequate to a city of 120,000 people'. The dty'a need Is the need of every Individual citizen, and In this comprehensive first class we have the whole body of those whose Will Is law, and wishes should be all powerful. The military, tho state troops, the national guard need an armory Imperatively for reasons that are ob vious and conclusive. The Atlanta soldiery and the sur rounding troops which compose the Fifth regiment, are made up of the very flower of our citizenship, men ot In fluence, character and force, and with this powerful con tingent In full cooperation succesa should be sure for tbe enterprise. Atlanta, the convention city ot the South, growing every year as the center of trade, politics, literature, in surance and railroads, needs a great hall to house the multitude of great and representative conventions—com mercial and political—which delight to gather In this magic city. The new Convention Hall would bring thirty thousand, people every year to conventional assemblies for a three days' profitable stay In Atlanta. A great convention hall would give Atlanta a magnificent chance to land the next national convention ot tbe Democratic party In this capital ot Democratic Dixie. The conven tion hall la a vital necessity to our growth and repute among the people ot the republic. This Is a need that touches every citizen of Atlanta. Every merchant has a ■take In It—every manufacturer 1* Interested, and every tradesman, every hotel, every liveryman, every banker, every newspaper and every man who own* anything or aell* anything or Is anxious to learn anything in At lanta. Suppose, then, that we take one thing at a time, and this time the armory and convention hall.’ Suppose we concentrate on this enterprise now and win It Suppose we call another meeting of the cltlsens. Suppose we appoint a committee of nine, three from the city council three from the state troops and three from the chamber of commerce to canvass the matter and raise the money. Buppose that we do thle now. while the exposition sub scribers are feeling liberal over the release of their money pledged to that cause and will probably be will ing to give a large part of It to the convention hall. And as money talks louder than words. The Geor gian having exhausted the argument, will now appeal'to the pocket. This paper lubacribed In good faith )5,000 to tbe ex position. We expected to pay it .cheerfully and promptly. As an evidence of our earnest belief In the value and necessity of this convention armory for the city, we will back our faith with our hands and if the committee will go to work with a will. The Georgian subscribes to the fund $2,600. NOT ARNOLD BUT SCOVILLE—The Georgian was mistaken In one of the dramatis personae of a story told In connection with the turbulent events of Saturday evening, September 22. It was not Col. Lowry Arnold who halted and drove back the mob in front of the Marlon hotel which was tn full pursuit of an Innocent negro who sought shelter there. Col. Dabney H. 8covllle, the proprietor of the Marion, waa himself the hero of that Incident, and Lowry Arnold describes hi* con duct on that occasion as a model of cool, calm cot# age and determination. Col. Scovllle addressed the mob In words of reason, pointed out tbe danger that would be done to the nervous and excited ladies who were hla guests, and finally without weapon or aid planted himself firmly tn the door and Informed the mab that no man could enter except over bis body. The Georgian gladly makes the correction, and bar only to say that the original story which came to ua with Lowry Arnold In tbe title rote was promptly credited because of the full belief that under similar circumstances Lowry Arnold would have acted just as Dabney ScorlUe did. Mudicipal Ownership Grows. The Geqrglan Is sincerely glad to note the evidence of an Increasing Interest In municipal ownership -on the part of Its contemporary of The Constitution. 'We could wish for a little more definiteness of advocacy- and a more pronounced expression upon one side or the other of this Important question. But we are pleased to express our pleasure In the evidence of an Interest which we feel sure will ripen Into advocacy, because advocacy Is the Inevitable conse- quenco of Interest In any question wherein the law and the logic are so strongly dominant as In the affirmative aide of this municipal proposition. The Georgian has fought this battle with full vigor and Interest, and but for the absorbing nature of recent events In Atlanta, It would doubtless have occupied an even larger share than It has had In our columns and in the general Interest ot the people. The object of this particular line Is to concur In the suggestion made by The Constitution of Saturday, that the city councli should Immediately Institute through the medium ot a commit tee an accurate and painstaking Inquiry Into the argu ments for and against municipal ownership, and Into the nature and success of the experiments which have been made In flther cities. We quite agree with The Constitution that there la no subject more Interesting before the city government and ths cltlsens at this time, and we are confident that the city councli con do no better thing than to begin now Co collect and tofget In order all Information which bears upon both the practical and the theoretical side ot the question. We are thoroughly convinced that the people of At lanta and of the state are in favor of-munlclpal ownership of public utilities. This Is evidenced In many ways, and any positive study of the situation made by any Interested party would speedily develop tho fact that a very large majority ot the citizens ot Atlanta ore on the affirmative aide of this question. For our own part, we have re stricted our advocacy to one thing at a time. Under this general head, and recognizing light as not only a com modity but as a necessity, we appeal first of all to the people to set on foot a movement that will result In giv ing the city absolute control ot Its own light supply. Upon this line, then, we appeal most confidently to thoughtful and public-spirited men to take the matter under consideration and not to delay any longer In sign ing up and sending to the office of The Georgian the ballots which are printed in each day'* Issue ot this paper. , Mnrk you, this la not The Georgian's light. We do not now claim and do not at any time propose to claim the credit for any success that may come to It. We are simply arguing the question along the lines of our own convictions, which we believe to be In full accord with the -convictions ot the majority ot the citizens ot Atlanta. We trust we shall hear more definitely from our con temporary of Yhe Constitution. And we once more urge upon our contemporary ot We Trust the Mayor Will Reconsider. If we correctly understand Mayor Woodward's atti tude toward tbe debts to bo bequeathed to his successor and the extreme economies to be observed In certain mat ters of his own administration, we beg leave to differ with Ills spirit and Conclusions. Tbe spirit of tbe mayor’s utterance seems .to lp- clude impatience with those who have been rigid In shut ting up bo many disreputable saloons and even more Im patience with those who are proposing to prpclpltatc an other prohibition election upon Atlanta. Even it Mayor Woodward’s Impatience be Justifiable, we do not believe It should take that turn. The closing of the lower class saloons has been an act of the representative wisdom of all the forces In au thority In the city. The men who have ahut'these doors are not all—nor even a majority of them—prohibitionists. They are good citizens who-have learned a lesson from a tragedy, and are acting according to their wlseat judg ment In an emergency. And even those who seem bent upon making the Issue of absolute prohibition next spring are citizens of high character and repute, and will only act within the limits which the law allows them. The Georgian Is taking no sides In this question now, and The Georgian Is not fanatical at any time or upon any question. The question which concerns us now Is Mayor Woodward's proposition to deprive the city of the forty new policemen and the paving of Peachtree street In order to economize for his successor. This, we think, Mayor Woodward should not—and we trust ho will not— do. Mayor Woodward himself inherited a largo debt when hla administration began. He should not be too ut terly solicitous a'bout his successor. What wo want him to do is to give Atlanta the forty policemen, which she needs now If ever-In her history; to repave our great representative thoroughfare, and to let Cap Joyner tajte care of himself when his time comes. If the present mayor -has grappled successfully with a debt left him for an Inheritance, Cap Joyner ought to do Just as well, and we believe he will do so. But we urgently Impress upon Mayor Woodward the view that be should not punish the people who are living under his administration, as a rebuke to the prohibition sentiment which Is astir, and urge as an excuse his tender solicitude for the next mayor of Atlanta. Give us the things we have boen promised, Mr. Mayor, and let Cap Joyner and the prohibitionists take care of themselves-—and of us—when their time comes. Forty new policemen In hand are worth a battalion In the next year’s bush. One Peachtree paved In time may save nine promises for the future. ! GOSSIP By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. New York, October have just been made In* to the discovery that" EUCLID AND DELAWARE AVENUES—Pres ident Sam Jones, of the Chamber of Commerce, tells The Georgian that the street cars do not run the full length of Euclid avenue in Cleveland and not at all on Delaware avenue in Buffalo. We ac cept the statement about Buffalo as conclusive, com ing from Mr. Jones, but wo maintain that Euclid avenue, which Is nearly three miles long, has the street cars on all excqpt about one half mile of its length, find that the Cincinnati and Indianapolis best streets are lined with rails. NEW PARTY IS PLANNED BY CUBAN MODERATES Havana, Oct. (.—Several prominent Moderates met last night and de cided to form n new party, which will be called the National Republican party.

Johnson, a negro editor of Mobile, Governor Jelks lays down the law to the negroes of tub state with out quibble. He says: "It Is time for plain speaking. Your leading people must know that the time for Insistent Idleness of the lasy members and the crimes which are sure to follow such idleness are lead ing to a feeling that a few soldiers and few guns will not control," and after saying that all must work, the gov ernor continues: , "And, again, there must be prompt giving up to the officers of the law of those who violate the criminal statutes. If these things are not done, the pow era of the constabulary, the police and the state guards will no protect the races from a conflict which shall be deplorable. "I am writing you very candidly. Outlaw the loafer and the thief and be particularly prompt In helping to hunt down the assailant of women. Ostracise them' In your societies nnd consign them to eternal damnation from your pulpits. This le the best and cheapest way. "Should the white people finally loss control of themselves, anarchy Is upon CITIZENS ORGANIZE TO PROTECT WOMEN Raleigh, N. C., Oct.

E VISITORS TASTE OF NEWPLEASURE Druggists Leave for Homes After Week of Atlanta Hospitality. ~ A barbecue at Ponce DeLeon Friday afternoon and a number of theater parties Friday night put the final touches on the entertainment of the visitors to the National Association of Retail Drugtsts begun last Tuesday.
