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 belieoes 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 btg an undertaking. Still A tlanta should set its face in that direction NOW The Journal, which has fought so strenuously for this ltrlnclple In another form, to bring Its state theory to practical apjillcatlon In this city In which we live and to lend Its energy and Influence to the municipal control and ownership of the great commodity of light. aolutely unjust in the fact that they state that the or ganized student body of the Institution was up tn arms to resist the policemen and the soldiers In preserving order. In point of fact, the Hot of the 22d occurred Just five days before the fall oponlng of Clark University, and on the evening In question, and the two succeeding even Inga, there were only two negro studenta upon the grounds of the university. Wo say this much lb simple Justice to a .worthy rep resentative ot'his race, and to a college which has al ways reflected credit upon Its founders and Its faculty. Saturday Evening. Athwart the glory of an October day, droop the lengthening shadows that portend the coming of the autumnal night t "Over the undulating, amber-colored fleldi, where the golden-rod waves Its radiant banners; through Southern forests, where the brilliant sumac lifts 1U flam ing head, and the crimson blackgum leaves glow like lan terns amid the dark green foliage, the crickets croon their goodnight song, to the passing day, and to the sum- mer well-night spent Winds and rain* have made chill and rray the beauty and brightness of many an autumn day, and the sun has bid his cheerful face behind many a dismal cloud theae few October days thus far vouchsafed to man. But, as a benediction comes alike the lengthening shadows; the descending atorms, the glint and glow of goldenrod, sumac and black gum, and the Insistent croon ing of the tireless crickets. Through all the dlipensa tlonB that environ humanity, run like a parti-colored thread tho sermons that nature preaches to the listening sons and daughters of men. God has writ marvelous texts upou flood and field across the mysterious darkness of the autumn night, In the warble of birds and on the quiet walls of a clty’i great hospital, from which the soul reads sermons be yond the tongue of man to expound. One such sermon la dally preached by silent, childish lips In one of the noble hospitals of this philanthropic city. A little child, pallid from years of suffering and help less Inactivity, alts day by day In hla Invalid’s chair with no word of complaint or sign of Impatience at hla hopeless fate. On bright, sunny days—day* when the goldenrod flaunts Ha banners far afield—this little "pilgrim of the night" Is wheeled by kindly hands out Into the blessed sunshine where he greets the paesers-by with smiles and with a sweet recognition of the break in the monoto ny of hla dretry life. When the clouds lower and the winds howl viciously around the great building sacred to suffering and -doatb, this same little human wait uutetly preaches hla sermon of acquiescence to an army of doc tors, nurses and patients in tho wide corridors of the hoipital, where he Is ministered unto by alert and tender hands. A“picture or short story lessens the tedium of the gray, colorless days of the helpless cripple, and strange to tell, the merry pranke and boyish frollca of vital Buster Brown appeal with peculiar significance to him whose paralysed llmba can never know the privilege of motion. Greater in power than the pulpits of Earth’s moat eloquent orators la the rolling chair, wherein al'ta from morn till night this little brave and cheerful cripple whose helpless body Is an.Incarnate sermon. Men and women whoee hearts have been torn with mighty storms of sorrow, looking upon the white, patient face of this little boy, bear the voice of God amid the tu mult and see Hla smile through the almost Impenetra ble gloom. Whether there be cloudi or aunahlne; whether the goldenrod, eumac and crimson-leaved black gum tell their story of the polling summer and coming winter, or whether joy or sorrow fall to the individual lot of man the fact remains inviolate that the moat wonderful ser mons In God’s universe are preached by Hla most In significant Instruments. The smile of hope and resigna tion on the face of that helpless child has Illuminated the way to higher and nobler thlnge tn many a de spairing human soul. It has made a pathway straight aergts the waters of affliction up to the very throne of God. Close to this little pilgrim of the night hover the angels whose eongs make melody above the turbulence of rebellious heart*. And they who Journey on “rest beside the weary road to hear these angels sing," while the crimson and gold of autumn blostoma, the warble of birds and the chirp of Insects tell of that Master hand which continues to direct all things aright Justice to a Negro College. A very considerable and undeserved Injustice has been done by outside newspaper reports to Clark Univer sity In connection with the recent riot la Atlanta. Certain dispatcher have been sent abroad which would seem to name Clark University as a retulex voua and shatter for the criminals of the race, and Ita officials aa hiding and aldlBg In the escape of those male factors against law and order. . This rumor la entirely and absolutely undeserved. The president of Clark University ta Dr. W. H. Crog- man. and tboie who know him among the white race are fairly, cordially and fully of the opinion that he la on* of the strongest and beat esecutive factors among the ne gro race toward the promotion of law, order and gooff conduct. Dr. Crogman Is committed both by precept and by practlca to ths belief that every criminal against the law should not be sheltered by hla own people, but given over to the offleers of the law and speedily brought to justice. He has steadily refuted to shelter any negro of auspicious character within the walla or buildings of the unlvenlty, and he has spoken and acted bis belief that the highest duty of til aspiring negroes was to cooperate with the white race In the detection and punishment of all criminals and offenders. The recent rumors about Clark Unirerilty are ab- We Start the Convention Hall Fund. A great and growing city like Atlanta la con stantly developing the need of new and Important public Inatitutlona. The superb growth of the city Is dally emphasizing this necessity and forcing to the front those enterprises which are moat pressing and urgent in their demands. Atlanta needs many things just now. She needs them badly and the must in time poaaesa them all—as a twentieth century city should. Lfft ua go at thffm one at a time and get them. Just at this time It la the common consensus of opinion among our leading business' men that Atlanta's moat urgent need la a great building which can be used for a city ball, for an armory and for a convention audi torium. Thli la the Immediate and pressing necessity of our municipal life. 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 conquer and attain. The city needs a new hall. Ita present cramped quar ter was built for n town of 50,000 people and la scarcely large enough for that number, and. totally inadequate to a city of 120,000 people. The city’s need.la the need of every Individual citizen, and In this comprehensive first class we have the whole body of those whose will la law, and wishes should be all powerful. The military, the 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 Filth regiment, are mado up of the very flower of our citizenship, men of in fluence, character and force, and with this powerful con tingent In full cooperation aucceis should be sure for the enterprise. Atlanta, the convention city of the South, growing every year as the center of trade, politics, literature, In surance and railroads, needa 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 now Convention Hall would bring thirty thousand people every year to conventional assemblies for a three days’ profitable stay In Attanta. A great convention ball would give Atlanta a magnificent chance to land the next national convention of the Democratic party In this capital of Democratic Dixie. The conven tion ball ip a vital necessity to our growth and repute among the people.of the republic. This la a need that touches every cltlaen of Atlanta. Every merchant has a stake In It—every manufacturer la interested, and every tradesman, every hotel, every liveryman, every banker, every newspaper and erery man who owns anything or sella anything or la 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 cltiieni. Suppose we appoint a committee of nine, three from the city council, three from the stato troops and three from the chamber of commerce to canvass the matter and raise the money. Buppoae that we do this now, while the exposition sub scribers are feeling liberal over the release of their money plodged to that cause and will probably be will ing to give a large part of It to the convention hall. And aa money talks louder than words, The Geor gian having exhausted the argument, will now appeal to the pocket. This paper subscribed In good faith )5,000 to the ex position. We expected to pay It cheerfully and promptly. A* 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 bands and If the committee will go to work with a will, - The Georgian subscribes to the fund S2.500 • Mudicipal Ownership Grows. - The Georgian 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 deflnttenesa 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 quence of Interest in an? question wherein the law and the logic are so strongly dominant as in the afllrmatlve aide of thla municipal proposition. The Georgian has fought this battle with full vigor and Interest, and but for the absorbing nature of recent event* In Atlanta, ft would doubtless have occupied an even larger ahare than It has bad In our columns and In the general Interest of the people. The object of this particular line Is to concur in the suggestion made by The Constitution of Saturday, that the city council should Immediately institute through the medium of 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 other cities. - We quite agree with The Constitution that there Is no subject more Interesting before the city government and the cltlxens at this time, and we are confident that the city council can do no better thing than to begin now to collect and to get in order all Information which bears upon both the practical and the theoretical side of the question. Wo are thoroughly convinced that the people of At lanta and of the state are In favor of municipal ownership of public utilities. This Is evidenced In many ways, and any positive study of the situation made by any Interested party woiild speedily develop the fact that a very large majority of the citizens of Atlanta are on tho affirmative side 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 aa a necessity, we appeal first of all to the . people tp set on foot a movement that will result iu giv ing the city absolute control of Ita 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 of this paper. Mark you, thti Is not The Georgian's fight. 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 of the majority of the citizen* of Atlanta. We truit wo shall hear more definitely from our con temporary of The Constitution. t And we once more urge uppn our contemporary of We Trust the Mayor Will Reconsider. If we correctly understand Mayor Woodward's atti tude toward tho debts to be bequeathed to his successor and the extreme economies to be observed in certain mat ters of his own administration, we beg le&ve to differ with his spirit and conclusions. The spirit of the mayor's utterance seems to In elude Impatience with those who have been rigid In shut ting up so many disreputable saloons and even more lm patience with those who are proposing to precipitate am other prohibition election upon Atlanta. Even If Mayor Woodward's Impatience be Justifiable, we do not believe It should take that turn. The closing of the lower class saloons lias been ah act of the representative wisdom of all the forces In au thority In the city. The men who have «h,ut these doors are not all—nor even a majority of them—prohibitionists. They are good citizens who have learned a lesson from tragedy, and are acting according to'their wisest 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 la Mayor Woodward’s proposition to deprive tho city of the forty new policemen and the paving of Peachtree street tn order to economize for his successor, This, we think, Mayor Woodward should not—and we trust he will not- do. Mayor Woodward himself Inherited a large debt when his administration began. He should not be tdb ut terly solicitous about his successor. What we want him to do Is to give Atlanta the forty policemen, which she needs now If ever tn her history; to repave our great representative thoroughfare, and to let Cap Joyner take 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 he should not punish the people who are living under hi* administration, aa 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 been 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. i One Peachtree paved in time may save nine promises tor the future. EUCLID AND DELAWARE A VENUES—Pres ident Sam Jones, of the Chamber of Commerce, tells Tho 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 we maintain that Euclid avenue, which Is nearly three miles long, has the street cars on all except about one half mile of Its length, and that the Cincinnati and (Indianapolis best streets are lined with rails. NEW PARTY IS PLANNED BY CUBAN MODERATES Havana, Oct. 8.—Several prominent Moderates met last night and de cided to form a new party, which will be called the National Republican party, It Is hoped to disassociate It from the memory of the Palma regime. GOV. JELKS WARNS NEGROES THAT LAWLESSNESS MUST STOP Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 8.—In a let ter to A. N. Johnson, a negro editor of Mobile, Governor Jelks lays down the law to the negroes of the state with out quibble. He says: "It Is time fur plain speaking. Tour adlng people must know that the time for Insistent Idleness of ths lazy members and the crimes which are sure to follow such Idleness are lead- in* to a feeling that a few soldiers and few guns will not control," and nfter saying that all must work, the gov ernor continues: And, again, there mutt be prompt giving up to the officers of the law of CITIZENS ORGANIZE TO PROTECT WOMEN NOT ARNOLD BUT 8COVILLE—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 Marlou hotel which was In full purault of an Innocent negro who •ought shelter there. Col. Dabney H. Scovlllh, the proprietor of the Marion, was himself the hero of that Incident, and Lowry Arnold describe* hi* con duct on that ocuaston as a model of cool, calm cour age and determination. Col. Scoville addressed the Ynob In words of reason, pointed out the danger that would be done to the nervous and excited ladles who were bis guests, and finally without weapon or uld planted himself firmly tn the door and Informed ' the mob that no than could enter except over his body. The Georgian gladly makes the correction, and has only to say that the original story which came to ua with I,owry Arnold In the title role-was promptly credited because of the full belief that under similar circumstances Lowry Arnold would have acted just aa Dabney Scoville did. Raleigh, N, C,, Oct. 8.—Governor Olenn has offered a reward of 1260 for the arrest of the negro who attacked Miss May Kidd, at Tarboro, Tuesday- night. A negro who answers to the description of the assailant has twice been seen, and It Is suspected that he broken open a store In a town near by, taking money and food.

The white men of Tarboro held mass meeting In order to organise for the njore effectual protection of the white women and to discover end drive out criminal negroes. . The best negroes held a meeting. In which they approved of this course by the whites, and appointed a committee to co-operate In the plan. University Frees Club. Special to The Ueurglen.

Mobile, Ala., Oct. 8.—The passenger train on the Mobile and Ohio, whloh left here at 8:26 o'clock yesterday morning, had a narrow escape from destruction 12 miles north of the city, here the tornado crossed the road. The conductor saw the storm com ing, pulled the bell cord and the brake- men elapped on the emergency brakes. The train came to a standstill Just as the tornado passed t not 50 yards In front of the engine. Large'holes were dug In the earth and lumber driven its whole length Into the ground. A hard rain fell thirty minutes after the tornado passed. Mobile did not feel the effects of the tornado. Tho house occupied by James Lewis, white, suffered total destruction. Lew is was Hitting In Mobile nt the time. His wife and children saw the tornado coming, ran Into the corn field, laid flat on the ground and escaped unhurt, after being dragged some distance. Thirty trees were piled acrosa the Mobile and Ohio tracks, and the train was delayed over an hour. Section Foreman Tatum, nfter warn ing his negroes, grabbed a stump as the storm passed over him.
