He Did Not Speak For Virginia.
As each day puts further behind us the recollection*
of our civic tragedy and the comment* of the American
press upon it, the fact remains that the moat malicious
and vindictive personal abuse which has come to Atlanta
was written In The News Leader of Richmond, Vs.
The editor of that paper Is fully entitled to the un
enviable distinction of having surpassed all other enemies
In tha personal venom and bitterness of bis denuncia
tion. .
The compensation which comes to Georgia and to
Atlanta In this connection la In the almost unanimous
assuranoo that has come from every Virginian within
our sphere of communication against the representative
character of this utterance. The Virginia 8oc!ety of
Atlanta promptly met and denounced the expression of
The Nows Leader as totally unworthy of the spirit of
Richmond and Virginia toward the people of the 8outh.
Col. W. N. Mitchell, ex-president of the Virginia Society,
gave a personal Interview of Indignant protest against
the comment. Polk Miller, one of the most popular Vlr
ginlans, and the Idol of Richmond, heartily denounces
the editor and declares that there la not a man hi Vir
ginia who will Indorse at any time the asianlt upon
Georgia and Atlanta.
Meanwhile, the rankling sting of that bitter and un
worthy utterance might have been aerlonaly damaging
to the prospecta of the Jamestown Exposition in the
present canvass of Ita Georgia commission before the
people of this city and this state; bnt for the fact of
these broad and generous disclaimers, and but for the
representative* consciousness of every Georlgan that no
true Virginian would entertain or express such a feeling
toward the capital of Georgia. ,
And ao, Georgia, In spite of the utterance, and In
scorn of the utterance, la going forward to sand Its rep
resentative products to the great Jamestown Exposition,
and wa expect In the full fraternity of that aplendtd oc
casion to forget that an outsider from another atate has
abased the hospitality of a Virginia newapnper to vent
bis personal animus against the capital of n sister com-
monwealth.
To Our Correspondents.
The Georgian Has a number of communications upon
Its desk which have no signature. Wo call attention to
the announcement made In the boginning that we ilo
not publish anonymous communications without being In
possession of the names of the writers
We regret at all times to withhold or to defer the
publication of communications from our friends, bnt they
lie today upon our desk In sneh overwhelming numbers
that we must once again aak the patience of our friends
In getting to them in the best way we can. Some of
these communications discuss matter* which are now so
far behind that It may not be iiosstble to publish them
at all. If so, we ask the consideration of our friends nnd
trust they will write ua again upon other and practical
themes.
Ben Hill’s Notable Race.
It would be almost a breach of local courtesy not to
eoagratnlpte tha Hon. Ben H. Hill upon hta moat remark
able race for a Justiceship of the new court of appeals.
The most conspicuous of compliments Is paid Mr.
Hill In the overwhelming majority by which he carried
hts own county of pulton, and the significance of this
tribute Is fotrad tn the fact that Mr. Hill's local competi
tors In this race Included three of the moat eminent, the
most distinguished and the moat popular Jurists and gen
tlemen ot the county of Pulton.
To have beaten three ordinary men by so decisive
a majority would have been a compliment. But for any
man to have been chosen above tbe good names and the
lofty characters of Henry C. Peeples, W. R. Hammond
a*d Howard Van Epps. In the county of Pulton, Is a mark
iif confidence and admiration which ts worth more in sen-
ttaent to Mr. Hill than the office Itself to which he has
Men elected.
Mr. Hill made no canvass ot the state and haa not
Meat an active public figure In the political life of Georgia
for many years, so that the site ot his vote outside of his
own city and county must have been a tribute to tbe gen
eral and quiet estimate ot marlt which has been placed
upon hla professional career by yawyera and reading Geor
gians throughout the commonwealth.
Atlanta's candidates In this generous field of contest
were made up ot characters and records so blgb and ad
mirable that any one of them would have reflected great
honor upon both the city and the state. The pleasure
which his multitude of friends feel In the phenomenal suc
cess of Mr. Hill Is shadowed only by the recollection that
It entails defeat upon three gentlemen of our own county
who merit so much of public confidence and admiration,
nnd whom Mr. Hill himself esteems as among the choicest
ornaments of his profession In tbe state.
The prophet who Is not without honor in his own
eounty may well rejoice In an expressed approval of hla
Immediate fellow dtlzena which outwelgha the office, and
the dignity with which their preference clothe* him.
Taken all In all, It waa a generous and gallant
raes, making no wounds, leaving no stings, and reflecting
no shadows upon a great profession and a distinguished
station.
The Lesson of Jacksonville and Other
Cities.
Those Atlantans who have been advancing tbe Idea
Ot municipal ownership with conservative tentativeness
can take unto .themselves the assurance that the move
ment hns mndo a deep Impress upon dtlions of oil classes
and that day by day hundreds are becoming consciously
allied to tbe definite tdesls Involved In the crusade
launched by The Georgian.
Morally strong at Its Inception, the Municipal Owner-
ship League ha* gained remarkable numerical strength
with each passing waek, until It haa become a formida
ble organisation which la determined to accomplish for
Atlanta the greatest service ever rendered the city.
So encouraging has been the response to the an
nouncement that there was being worked out a plan for
the city betterment, that The Oeorglan no longer fears
aggressive opposition, bnt desires to win over those who
have manifested an indolent disinclination to become In
terested In civic affairs.
Tbe municipal leagues of moat cities have been forced
to convince many that tbe supplying of public utilities
Is a proper function of a municipality. But this ha* not
been ao In Atlanta, where the city-owned waterworks sys
tem, practicable and profitable, stand* as an unanswera
ble argument.
It Is generally known that almost all of tha more Im
portant European cities own and control all of their public
utilities. In England and continental Europe, the fur
nishing of transportation, light, heat, power and water
by the municipality la regarded as necessary as the main
taining of law and order. It Is such an Important part
of a city's administration that It Is designated aa "munici
pal trade," to nominally differentiate It from municipal
goverament.
But for examples wo need not go to far-away coun
tries, where, it may be contended, greatly different condi
tions obtain. Let ui glance at contiguous territory—Vir
ginia. Kentucky and Florida.
The history of municipal ownership In Richmond,
Danville, Fredericksburg, Alexandria. Henderrtn and
Jacksonville-—the experience of these cities alone should
be sufficient to dispel all doubts. On a basis of general
average It may be stated that the cost of gas since these
various municipalities acquired tho gas plants, has been
feduced from $3.50 to 87 cents per thousand, and the
cost of electric lighting has been reduced about one-third.
And In no Instance has the lessening of the cost of pro
duction figured to any extent, as la proven by tbe fact that
tha reductions were made Immediately upon the cities ac
quiring the plant*. Six and eight and twelve per cent
dividends were not required. And advertising and solic
iting were dispensed with. Salaries 'were reduced In
many instances and there waa eliminated the posst
bllity of costly strikes and lockonts.
Jacksonville is an illuminating, but by no means ex
ceptional city which la .enjoying in full the benefits which
accrue from municipal ownership. When tbe Florida
elty established Its electric light plant the private com
panies -were charging *8 cent* per kilowatt. The city
plant at once reduced the charge to 7 cents per kilowatt
and It has remained at that figure. For a 7.000 candle
pqwer are, burning all night, tho companies charged $15
per month; the city fixed the rate at $7.60 per month.
For midnight arcs the old private rate was $13.60, and
the new city rate $6.50. The old companies were forced
to moot these rates and the price of gas wo* Incidentally
reduced more than 100 per cent
Formerly Jacksonville paid $8,000 per year for light
ing Its streets. Now the streets are llghtod free; aa are
the public bonding*, the Jolts, fire stations, armories, hos
pital and nil charitable Institutions. A sinking sum ot
considerable proportions Is being laid aside and the busi
ness Is paying 5 per cent Interest on the Investment
The annual profits above operation and depreciation
are $24,000. It Is estimated by disinterested persons
that the municipal plant saves the people (Individuals
and firms) 25 per cent of the former cost of light with
equal service. By the reduction of rates alone, gas and
electric lighting, the people are laving each year an
amount that approximates more than the entire cost of
the municipal plant. And through It all not a breath of
suspicion of political Jobbery has been attached to the
management.
Municipal ownership Is not the dream of an Idealist.
Certainly It haa morality on Its aide, but It likewise
makes Its appeal to the twentieth century utilitarian.
Perhaps It has a greater foothold In older countries, but
It Is an essentially American and democratic Institution.
Without municipal ownership It Is difficult for a city’s
government to be conducted on a thoroughly business
like basis. It Is Indispensable in any government which
approaches near to perfection. For It benefits the peopla.
'Thq end of government Is the welfare of mankind,"
Bald Locke, which summary was characterised by Huxley
as “the noblest, and at the same time the fullest state
ment of the purpose of government."
OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec-
trie 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 tbe 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 il may be some years be
fore we are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face tn that direction NOW

MR. BRANTLEY DID NOT SAY IT.
To the Editor of The Oeorslsn:
My attention has been called to your
rather tart reply to an alleged Inter
view with me In The Washington Post
over a week ago. You aak In the head
line. "Did Mr. Brantley Say It?" and
you state In tha body of the editorial
that “It he did, he was either misin
formed or malicious." I believe The
Washington Poet quoted me as saying
that Mr. Graves, through The Geor
gian, advocated the revival of the Ku
Klux Klan for the suppression of the
criminal negroes.
The facts In the esse are simply this:
While In Washington, on my way to
New York, the Sunday morning after
the riot In Atlanta. I met a reporter for
The Washington Poet, who asked for
an Interview on the situation In At
lanta. 1 told him that I knew nothing
of the conditions In Atlanta and >yas
not prepared to say what caused the
trouble. He read me the dispatch and
told me what had been received from
Atlanta during the morning In bulle
tins. I then told him to wire Mr. John
Temple Graves for s statement of the
case—that he waa on tha ground and
understood the condition* there—that
he had studied the negro queetlon and
had discussed It In lectures and In his
paper. He promised to do so, and I
nave since learned that he received a
reply that justified me In all that I had
said of Mr. Grave*. I trust your vanity
will not be Jsrred to know why The
Washington Poet asked for your "state
ment." .
During the same conversation. It I
remember correctly, 1 told the reporter
thnt I thought the afternoon papers In
Atlanta had had too much to say about
tho crimes which had led to the riot.
I spoke ot the proposition to organise a
Ku Klux Klan there to take up cases
Involving crimes against women, but
that the matter was knocked out by
the conservative element; that the dis
cussion, however, had had a bad effect
and had left a seething volcano under
the community only to break forth In
fury at the flrat favorable moment. I
did not say that Mr. Graves or The
Georgian advocated the Ku Klux Klan,
though I am willing to confess that I
was not aware that such was not the
case.
I remember very well a cartoon In
The Georgian aome time ago, In which
a white woman was pictured aa stand
ing with a gun In her hands, while the
shadow of a klnky-headcd, fiat-nosed
negro fell across her skirt. Under the
picture was something about the whit#
women of the South defending them
selves. To me. the Idea of the South
ern women being changed to belliger
ent amaxons Is a much sillier propo
sition than the reorganisation of the
Ku Klux. because It carries with It the
Intimation that the Southern men are
no longer willing or able to be their
defenders, while the suggestion that
goes with the black shadow on the
white skirt Is too horrible to even think
JUDGE KONTZ CLAIMS THE HONOR
Hon. John Temple Graves, Atlanta, da.
Dear Mr. Graves: 1 am glad to see
such general unanimity touching the
matter of building an armory and audt
torium for Atlanta, and I have read
with great interest your editorial In
which The Georgian makes a subscrip
tion of twenty-five hundred (12,500)
dollars for this purpose.
For sake of accuracy, however, I beg
to call your attention to the fact that
wrote a letter, which was published
September 28, 1906, In which I sub
scribed two hundred and fifty (2250)
dollars. You can not. therefore, of
course "start" the subscription, but I
am glad to be backed up by such very
pleasant company.
With kindest regards, I beg to re
main, Yours very truly,
ERNEST C. KONTZ.

THE LABOR JOURNAL DECENNIAL—The At
lanta Journal of tabor celebrated Its tenth anniver
sary on last Friday. And they have been vigorous
and successful years by which this excellent weekly
has mounted to Its first decennial. The Journal has
been conducted upon s high and dignified plane,
treating all questions with conservatism and yet with
a firm fidelity to the principles and Intsrests ot the
class which It represents. Mr. Jerome Joses, Its
editor, has established himself In the respect sad
confidence ot the people of Atlanta, and the federated
unions and labor men are to be congratulated upon s
-representative who combines excellent discretion
with large ability.
CONGRESSMAN ADAMSON—In an interview
with The West Point News Congressman Adamson
of the Fourth district expresses his cordial admira
tion for the personnel of the Democratic state ticket
just elected, and rejoices also In the establishment of
the court ot appeals and the excellent judges who
will honor Its bench.
The West Point News speaks tn terms of the
highest regard and admiration for Congressman
Adamson, who enjoys In a large measure the regard
and admiration of hla entire congressional district
of.
Ho It wilt be seen that It I dropped a
word during the conversation with Tho
Poat man that led him to become con
fused In reporting exactly what I aald.
I was somewhat Justified by the cir
cumstances In doing so. And the very
fact that l told him to wire Tho Geor
gian’s editor for a "personal state
ment" relieves me of the charge of hav
ing the slightest malice toward either
Mr. Graves or that paper.
Very respectfully,
C. C. BRANTLEY.
Editor The Valdosta Times.
Valdosta, Ga.. Oct. 2, 190*.
Mr. Brantley's statement Is entirely
satisfactory to The Georgian. We
could not Imagine the basis for any III
will on hts part to this paper. Nor are
we Jarred In any vein of "our vanity"
by his statement of why The Poet
telegraphed for the editor’* View*. The
editor of The Georgian Is as well ac
quainted with the editor of The Post
Mr. Brantley wa* with the reporter.
The Post'* request to us wa* filed be
fore the hour of Mr. Brantley's conver
sation with the reporter and was fol
lowed by another request later on.
And certainly The New York World
and The Chlcaso Examiner did not
have the benefit of Mr. Brantley's sug
gestion. Mr. Brantley Is all right, and
we send him the assurance of our un
changed regards.—Editor Georgian.
Fire Department Called Out
Special tn The Georgian.
Waycross, Ga., Oct. 9.—A defective
flue was the cause of the fire depart
ment being called to the residence of
J. R. McDonald, on Tebeau street, yes
terday morning. No damage waa done.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Your editorial In last Tuesday's edi
tion. under the caption of “Suppress
Our Own tawless Element," shoyld be
thoroughly digested by every cltlxen, as
It contains the very essence of the trou
bles arising between the races.
In It you say “any man, young or
old, boy or man who wantonly, with
out provocation, attacks or Injures a
negro of any age or sex In this city,
should be dealt with to the full extent
of the law and the full measure of his
crime—by Imprisonment If the negro
Is seriously Injured, and by the ex
treme penalty of the law If the negro Is
killed."
Here Is a ease In point: The very
day on which your article appeared, a
lady Informed me that she saw a group
of four boys deriding a negro delivery-
man. One of the boys having a whip In
his hand, struck the negro across the
back with the lash. The negro's face
looked very dangerous, but he could
not, and dare not, retaliate, as he would
Jeopardise hla life, while the boys hoot
ed at him as he muttertngly passed
along.
The contents of your article should
be Impressed on the minds of the chil
dren by the parents; In the public
schools the teachers should • Instruct
and caution the children under their
charge against annoying the negro. The
children are quick to understand th*
penalty and will profit by It.
Yours truly.
GEORGE WILSON STEWART.
Th* Peachtree Argument Unanswerable
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Your unanswerable editorial of the
5th Inst., opposing the removal of elec
tric cars from Peachtree street, voices
the opinion of a number of my friends
and my own.
In addition, permit me to say the re
moval of the cars would ruin, for busi
ness purposes, at least, that portion of
the street between Cain nnd Baker
streets. So that In addition to this
prospective Injury, our convenience
would be sacrificed for the benefit of
automobile and cycle peats, which are
already more dangerous and a greater
nuisance than the electric cars, and If
the latter were removed, then peats
would Infinitely multiply.
You will doubtless have observed
that most of those reported as In favor
of removal, either do not live on the
street and have no property Interests
thereon, or else live beyond Fourteenth
street, where the care would, in any
event, remain as they now are.
Doubtless, the street railway author
ities would approve removal since they
could serve their patrons by the use of
parallel streets, and by so doing save
their portion of the costs of repatrl
with asphalt, and throw the burden
th* coat of th* extra 11 feet on the
property owners, who have already
twice paid for the street paving.
We trust you will continue to throw
the powerful weight of your Influence
toward conserving our convenience and
Interests. H. F. SCOTT.

Th* Rabbit Welched.
From Eveybody'e Magazine.
On* day Willie's mother found her
young hopeful holding his pet rabbit
by the ears. From time to time he
would give bunny a violent shake and
demand eharplv: "Two plus two? Two
plus two?" or "Three plus three? Three
plus three’"
"Why. Willie." asked his mother with
deep concern, "what makes you treat
your poor little bunny that way?"
Well." replied Willie, greatly dis
appointed, "teacher told us In schpol
today that rablbts multiplied very fast,
but this dummy can't even add."
OUR FIRST TRAITOR.
On a closet door In an old mansion
that stands at the corner of Brattle
and Hawthorn streets, Boston, one
may read this legend;
“B. CHURCH, JR."
The name was cut Into the door with
a penknife in the hand of'a traitor
compared with whom Benedict Arnold
himself was aa white as an angel!
Dr. Benjamin Church came of ex-
cellent stock and was one from whom
the patriot* of '76 expected great
things. Finely endowed by nature, a
Harvard graduate, a fine physician and
a surgeon of extraordinary skill, gifted
with eloquence and with true poetic
fancy; of splendid social parts and pro
fessedly a patriot of the true-blue
stamp; his friends figured on his mak
Ing for himself s fair name in hla
country's annals.
But It turned out that, like the
"whited sepulchre," he was fair with
out and foul within, a lover ot his
country tn his pretensions, but a foul
traitor In hla heart.
Benedict Arnold betrayed his conn
try, but Benedict Arnold was surely
tried; tried as but few men have been
tried tn this world. He wa* s traitor,
and for his treachery he paid the ter
rible price that he ought to have paid;
but he was provoked to do what ht
did by the rankest Injustice st the
hands of those from whom he had the
right to expect better thing*.
But Benjamin Church wa* not pro.
voked, and It can not be said that any.
body had done him any wrong. He
turned traitor from the lowest and
basest motive that could possibly have
actuated a man—tho love of money.
He had just built himself an ele
gant country house near Boston, and
It was to sustain this splendid estab
lishment, It is believed, that he sold
himself to the king's cause.
Benedict Arnold waa no hypocrite.
Up to the awful moment when he re
solved to go against hts country there
Was not In all the length and breadth
of the colonies a stauncher patriot.
Until his great provocation had trans
formed him Into a devil, he loved his
country as ardently os afterwards he
hated It; but Benjamin Church, up to
the very hour ot his detection, was
masquerading aa a friend of liberty's
cause. “In the Old South Meeting
House," to quote the words ot the au
thor of "Old New England Rooftrees,'
he delivered a stirring discourse, which
has atilt power to thrill the reader, on
the massacre the day celebrates, and
the love of liberty which Inspired the
patriots' hearts upon that memorable
occasion, and yet two years earlier, a*
we have since discovered from a let
ter to Governor Hutchinson, he had
been anonymously using hla vans) pen
In the service of the king."
It was through one of hla students,
who kept hi* books, that Church was
exposed and brought to trial.
By order of congress' he was con
demned to close confinement In Nor
wich Jail, In Connecticut, and debarred
from the use of pen, Ink and paper;
but, his health falling, he was allowed
In 177* to leave the country. He
Bailed for tho West Indies, and the
vessel that bore him away was never
afterwards heard from .

oil king wants to make sure he can
vote, and was ao gratified that he had
gotten his name on the list that he ore-
.rented the registration board with a *20

do It.
There wa* rather a remarkable group
of children seen at the recent North-
shore horse show. They got together
purely by accident on the top of the
coach. They were tbe youngsters of
Harry Payne Whitney, K. O. Morgan
and Thomas Hotchkiss, all tiny million
aire! from the hour of their birth.
In some ways the lives of these little
folk ore fairy stories, for they have
never lacked for anything because it
wa* too expensive and no one ever
said to them, "No, dear, we can not
afford It."
When these children's education be-
gins Instructors will visit them dally,
and their days will soon be as busy as
are those of their parents. Music les
sons, dancing lessons, riding lessons,
language lessons, recreation hours and
walks crowd the hours.
One little chap In a Fifth avenue
mansion ran to th* housekeeper one
day and said, breath lowly: "Please,
may I come Into your room and play?
I have Juat Ion minutes to spare before
my riding teacher comes.”
Cupid Is a regular attendant and a
busy worker at the Baptist Temple
In Brooklyn. There have been no less
than alx weddings among the choir
member* and Sunday school teachers
of tho church tvlthtn the same number
of weeks. There Is reason to believe
tho record will bo kept. Superintend
ent Sutherland, of the Sunday school,
believes thoroughly In the Institutional
church.
"The club and social life for the
city’s young people," said th* super
intendent, "Is most beneflrial. While
I would not say that It was a necessity ‘
for chureh existence In a large city, I
must say that It Is very helpful te our
work In the church, and helpful as well
to tho young."
Ho might have added It Is also very
helpful tn Dan Cupid.
Ambassador and Mrs. Wbttciaw Reid
are expected from England (a Decem
ber and will remain in this country for
several months. There will be a great
deal of entertaining In their honor.
The wedding of Edward H. Bulkier,
millionaire and clubman, aad MIm
Margaret Stewart, a pretty It-year-old
trained nurse, hns been postponed, but
only for a fsw days. Mr. Bulkley's
slaters, Mrs. Prescott Lawrence, Mr*.
Reginald Rives and Mrs. Roland Red
mond, all of whom favor the match, are
at Newport for tho ceremony. It ws*
last spring that Mr. Bulkley was ill
and the doctor advised him to have a
trained nurse, and since Mfss Stewart's
name wa* next on tha Hit of those to
on outride work, she was sent to
Bulkley mansion.
It was thus, by th* merest chance,
that the two met. She brought him
back to health, but his friends did not
know until very recently thnt the
white-raped nurse had taken his heart
with her.
