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 Atlanta should set its face in that direction NO IV

i And In these great issues represented by these strong
men has been swallowed up the narrow lines of faction
and the fading name of party. Forty per cent of the men
who voted for Hearst in the municipal campaign of two
[years ago were members of the Republican party who
called themselves Lincoln Republicans and who In this
election will stand firmly and Joyfully with the reform
party which Mr. Hearst Is leading to Its most eventful
battle. Hundreds of corporate-Democrats whose later-

The Georgian prints no unclean or objectionable ad-
vertlslng. Neither does it print whisky or any liquor

Georgia’s Great School.
Every year Is adding larger scope and higher repute
to the great School of Technology which the liberality
of the state established some twelve years ago.
The present able faculty under the leadership of
President Matheson is breaking all previous records of
good work and effective service, and the growth of the
Institution will astonish those of us who are living within
Its shadow every day. The enrollment of tho present
* session la breaking all records, thereby demonstrating
the great popularity of the school and Its possibilities
for the future expansion. It has enrolled C55 men to date,
and Judging by the relative records of the past three
years, it should enroll at least GOO men during the cur
rent session. This attendance will exceed by more than
100 the enrollment of last year. On September 26, the
date of opening, the dormitories were filled to their capac
ity of 245 students, and had refused application for dor
mitory space to more than 225 men. Of this number 210
men had asked to have their names placed on a waiting
list to bo given the first available vacancies, and this
had been done.
With tts present enrollment the school is overcrowd
ed In all departments. At least 100 men cannot even find
standing room in the chapel at morning services. The
Tech needs a chapel capable of seating at least 1,500
people; It needs a dormitory that will accommodate at
least 200 students; it vitally and especially needs at the
present more land for campus extension, else at some
time in the near future the Institution must be moved
The legislature, at Its last sesslcn, appropriated the mon-
ay with which to buy the present Ball park, thus adding
four acres to the campus, and tho Institution has options
on about tbree acres more, amounting to $8,000, said op
tions expiring January 1, 1907. Should It not raise the
necessary amount by the date named, it la probable It
can nover secure these options again except at greatly
increased prices. It greatly needs a hospital; It Is In
much need of a Y. M. C. A. building, having Just
secured the services of a college secretary who will de-
B tc his entire time to the Y. M. C. A., but the only
ice for the association Is In the basement of tho main
building.
The school la at Its flood-tide. With proper assis
tance, there is no doubt that it can easily increaso Us at
tendance In the near future to at least 1,000 men. Other
states are greatly enlarging the plants of their engineer
ing Institutions, and Georgia must do the samo for Us
great school or see It retrograde.
This Institution means not only a great
deal to the state, which eupports It, but to At
lanta, which Is Its chief beneficiary. Annually 1^ enrolls
about 100 men from Fulton county. The school In Its con
nections spends over $100,000 In the city.
Besides this, It Is bringing to Atlanta great and
(rowing prestige, which Atlanta herself does not as
yet appreciate,
The progress of any educational Institution is large
ly dependent upon the active sympathy and Interest of
the cltlxeni in the town of Us location. The state has
done ell for the Tech that It can do at present and
the question now te, will not Atlanta come to Its aid
First, and above all, it mutt have more land; $8,000
mutt be raised before January 1, 1907, or a magnificent
opportunity for cqmpus extension will be lost. Our other
needs can be attended to later, but this one le vita).
This Is a record of which any school should be proud.
The Tech le a glory to Georgia and a shining orna
ment to Atlanta.
To state lte growth. Its opportunities and tte handi
caps la In the mere statement a matchless appeal to
the liberality and public spirit of a great people.
Atlanta should never permit Us crowning Institution
to want for any good thing.
An Incendiary Bishop.
The conservative negroes of tho South. If they are
sincere, will confer at once to put a muzzle on tbo negro
bishop, Walters, who is scattering firebrands of dlscontont
and strife among the negroes, North and South. The
utterances of Walters within the last few days have been
incendiary to the last degree. If Herr Most or any of
the Russian colony of New York, should repeat tho exact
words of this negro bishop upon tho streets or In a tab
ernacle, he would be arrested and jailed for sedition. Wo
do not know under what construction of the law the
negro Walters escapes, but we vigorously present his
case to the restraining Influence of those negroes In the
South who have recently been so active Iu expressions
of peace and law-abiding conditions among the negro
race. If Walters Is not muzzled he will surely develop
trouble.
BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION—When Roscoe
Conklins presented the name of General U. S.
Grant to the Republican convention in Chicago In
1880 he aald: "The election before uh will be the
Austerlitz of American politics. It will decide wheth
er for yeara to come the country will bo Republican
or Cossack." Last Friday Senator Lodge In nominat
ing a Republican for Auditor of Massachusetts said:
It would be exaggeration to say that the coming
elections in New York and Massachusetts will be
the Austerlitz of American politics. It ts no exagger-'
atlon to say that the coming elections In New York
and Massachusetts will decide whether the govern
ment of these two states for the next year shall be
American or Cossack.
The Massachusetts senator Is evidently something
of a cribber.—Nashville American.
“Cribber" Is a harsh word to apply to an eminent
statesman and writer. Would it not be more charita
ble to say that Senator Lodge had "benevolently assim
ilated" the verbiage and rhetorical figure of the great
Conklins?
“Religion as a Problem Solver.
Tbere can be no possible cavil or objection to The
Constitution's solution of the race problem.
To settle the question and to suppress the criminal
by converting the negro to Christianity Is the program.
Surely no man in bis sound mind can object to this.
It Is elementary, orthodox and fundamental. Every
preacher In the Protestant or Catbollc world must agree
to It, for no preacher cduld afford to protest a theory
upon which bis, creed and hit craft depends. The plan
Is Ideal if Its prosecution Is millennial.
The care should be not to restrict the comprehen
sive remedy to a single evil, or the vast solution to one
among the thousand problems of the race. Let us melt
all problems In this alembic of religion. Not only ibould
tbo race question bo answered in the brotherhood of man,
but why. not all the rest? Wby should not capital and
labor compromise tbeir differences In a creed In which
‘the rich and tho poor meet together, and the Lord Is
the maker of them all?'' Wby should not nations be
disarmed and brought to arbitration under the regime In
which "the sword shall bo beaten Into plowshares and
the spears Into pruning forks?” Why should not all the
evils and problems of the universal race be answered
and settled under the remedy which Christianity has made
orthodox for the last nineteen hundred years?
And so we say God speed to The Constitution and the
clergy In the divine call which carries them back to the
primal solvent ot a Christian civilization, and will do with
our might whatever humble part may fall to ua In the
vast and comprehensive scheme.
But meanwhile, and preaching this millennium,
let us hot lose sight of the necessity for practical and
human remedies In dealing with this great question. For
it Is at least a faithful saying and worthy of all accepta
tion that God helps those who help themselves.
We have gathered some practical results out of our
tragedy, which we must be-wise enough to husband and
enlargo.
First of all wo have now what we nover had before
—the co-operation of the negro leaders in suppressing the
crime which Is the root of all riots. We must hold fast
to this. We must remind the preachers, the editors, the
teachers from time to time that they have promised to
thunder hell and damnation to the rapist In their several
avenues ot Influence, and to urge the discovery and the
delivering ot their criminals to Justice. Don’t let us relax
on this, and don't let us permit the conservative negroes
to relax. We have never yet had a fair trial of the ef
fect of a stern and relentless negro pnbllc opinion against
the crime ot crimes. It is an oxporiment full of hope. Let
us hold to It until it Is tested to the limit.
We have roused public opinion among the white race
to the liberality of a greatly enlarged system ot police and
deputy sheriffs In the suburban and rural districts. Let
us hold on to this and amplify It
Tho question of expense cannot for a moment weigh
against the question ot safety and security for the
women of the South.
It It takes more taxes to raise the “refgn of terror,'
in God's name who will protest the tax?
One thing wo have not dono as yet. The Georgian
suggested It, but the times were bo troubled that the Idea
has not bnd time to sprout. We must study the criminal.
We must study tho criminal as the experts study fever
and epidemics to find tho gorm. We must learn fron\ovory
rapist the history of bis recent life—bis habits, bis as
sociates, his environment—whether educated or ignorant,
whether pure black or mulatto, whether a morphine eater
or. a victim ot cocaine; whether a drunkard or sober;
whether Idle or Industrious; whether normal or diseased.
The officer* of the law, the doctors, the scientists end
tho sociologists can gather thetfr statistics, and when we
havo them we shall be on the way toward the germ—
the bacillus of the vast evil that wo wish to kill.
So much for the individual crime around which moat
of our troubles and two-thirds of our mobs revolve.
For tho rest, let ns study the negro more. Let ue
study history more—the history of races, the history of
the negro. Let us take ethnology as a theme for investi
gation. Let us hark back to the wisdom of the fathers—
those thoughtful men who framed and fitted together the
government—let us look Into the clear minds of Jefferson
and Webster, and C.sy and Everett, and Madison and
Monroe, and Lincoln and the rest. Let us summon “the
practical past as a problem solver” to help tho doclslon
of the future.
Above all things let us put out ot our minds and
hearts the cowardly spirit of expediency in grappling with
this great question of tho century. We are face to face
now with the issue upon which hangs the success of
our civilization and our race. No anodyne that quiets for
a day will satisfy tho situation or meet the responsibility
of a great people. No catnip tea will cure the cancer
which Is creeping toward the vitals of our civilization.
Neither the greed ot commercialism nor the softness
of sentiment will fulfill the obligations of truth and states
manship. Desperate diseases demand strong 'remedies,
and we have drifted too long In the dangerous wake of the
apathetic sluggards who have told ua there was no prob
lem to bo solved.
God in His wisdom, which Is greater than ours, has
set u* front to front and face to face with the greatest
problem which a great people have ever been given to
solve. Neither doctrinariei nor trimmers, neither time
servers nor quacks should be permitted to cloud with their
selfishness nor to hinder with tbeir cowardice the brave,
direct and far-seeing statemanshlp which seeks to solve
the South's transcendent problem in the Interests of tts
The Battle Royal in New York.
It is a great 11 gbt that Is being waged In tbo politi
cal arena of New York.
It Is a battle royal tbe like of which New York and
the country has never seen before, and the forces upon
either side are titanic and tremendously In earnest.
Let no man Imagine for a moment that the contact
In New York Is one between the Republican and Demo
cratic! parties. These names-and titles today are al-
most shadowy memories In the strenuous and eventful
struggles which are being made between the forces
which have outgrown the name of party and havo sub
ordinated historic faction. Tbe battle In New York, like
thq battle In Georgia and the battle in Michigan, is no
longer the old-fashioned campaign between the two
great organizations whose names and whose differences
have divided tbe public. It Is in Its last analysis a death
grapple between the forces . ot honest radicalism and
the forces of a dangerous conservatism which Is to bo
decided by the ballots of November.
This Is a fight which has been growing and gather
ing in volume and Intensity for a score of years. It has
had Its skirmishes In other states. The New York con
test furnishes a larger and more important battle ground
for one of the strategic points In tbe triumph or defeat
of the people.
Never Tbave the shrewd and calculating representa
tives of an ultra-conservatism been wiser and more dis
creet In their choice of a leader. There is nothing that
can be said against the character of the candidate whom
the corporations have put in nomination for governor.
The Lawyer Hughes represents the best things ot his
class, and his personal record Is beyond criticism, al
though he uncovers definitely and clearly as the unmis
takable champion of the corporations and the trusts,
whose money stands behind him and whose enthusiasm
backs hlm < and whose potential Influence props him on
every side.
And never have the forces of an honest radicalism
been more definitely and conscientiously represented thin
they are in the person and vigor of William R. Hearst
Not only in the platitudes of advocacy, but In the larger
and more splendid record of great things bravely accom
plished, William R. Hearst stands as the unmistakable
and unequaled champion of tbe plain people, against the
power of corporations, as the representative of honest
elections against fraudulent and plundered ballot boxes,
as the opponent of bosses and the evangel of purer elec
tions and genuinely popular government.
The two leaders are fighting men, every Inch of them.
And their followers are catching fire and inspira
tion from the dauntless men at the head of their columns
and the Issue Is being made sharp and clear.
Tho Georgian has planted Itself from the beginning '
upon tbe proposition that an honest and earnest radical
ism Is at times the only and Indispensable antidote to
tbe apathy ot a criminal conservatism.
Not all the good record of Hughes or his high Intelli
gence can cloud the minds of the people to the fact that
he stands for the same corporations which at other times
and under other men have plundered and oppressed the
people, and have bought and bribed and ruled the poli
tics of the imperial city and the Imperial state of the re
public.
Not all the gleam of corporate gold or the thunder of
a Republican protest can drown the clear voice that speaks

Every leading newspaper In New York Is against the
editor of Tho New York American and Tbo New York

vigor and brilliancy for the cause that ho represents. The
final alignment will witness as nearly the obliteration of
party and the alignment of economic policies and ot vital
Interests as New York has ever known.
In spite of the fearful odds of sound and ot dollars
arrayed against him. we believe that Mr. Hearst will win.
It Is impossible to discount with n people the man who
does things as strongly as other men say things. It Is im
possible to deceive the people as to the motives of a man
who has served them so consistently and so fearlessly
and effectively In past emergencies. It Is impossible to
defame a man in tbe faith of tho people who have trusted
him and never found him wanting.
And, upon this foundation, we believe that Novem

CALVIN AND AGRICULTURE—The compliment
paid the Hon. Martin V. Calvin in electing him direc
tor ot the Georgia Experiment Station, is not less no
table than it la well deserved. Mr. Calvin haa given
a number of useful and diligent years to the study
of agriculture, and has been w|th his pen and his
tongue an able and Illuminating contributor to all
the themes that Interest tbe farmers In a practical,
useful and helpful way.
Tbe Experiment Station never had a more honest
and thoroughgoing director than Col. Redding, who
has endeared himself for many years to the peoplfe
of this state and to Its farming Interests. He Is rich
In the good name he has won, and although now
retiring of his own motion from the work, will retain
to the end of his life the confidence and respect of
the agricultural people of Georgia.
We feel sure that Mr. Calvin by all the record of
his past life, and by the vigor and energy of his
present years, will make himself as useful, aa ef
fective and as popular as any man could be in this
important and responsible station. He is a live
vital thinker and a practical agriculturist in the very
zenith of bis powers, and wltb a contagious enthusi
asm for the great interests with which he is now per
manently allied.

The appalling statement Is made by
Superintendent Allen, of the Society
for the Improvement of tbe Condliion
of the Poor, that two-thirds of all the
children In the public schools of New
York city, who are classed by their
teachers as stupid and who have lagged
behind In their classes, are not stunld
at all. ' 1
Twenty-nine per cent of them have
defective vision, and the reason they
do not learn to read and write as read-
ily as their companions, Is that the*
cannot see the characters distinctly.
Twelve per cent of them do not
learn rapidly becauso they have de
fective hearing and do not understand
what Is asked them. Others have
adenoid growths that Impede the cir
culation of the blood to the brain, so
that they appear dull, whereas a little
treatment would suffice to restore them
to a normal condition.
A tribute to the memory of the late
Russell Sage is paid In the annual re
port of the Iowa Central railway, of
which Mr. Bage was a director from
1889 to the day of his death. President
Edwin Hawley. In his report to the
stockholders, says ot Mr. Sage:
"During the entire period of his con-
nectlon with the company he gave to
his Interests his sagacious attention,
serving with the fidelity so character
istic of the man, never falling, except
In Illness, of attendance at the meetings
of the board, while his uniform cour
tesy and geniality endeared him to all
who were brought Into contact with
him."
SAYS THIS METHOD WOULD STOP
RAPE WITHIN SIX MONTHS’. TIME
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Permit me the liberty of a suggestion:
The outraging of white women by negroes In Georgia can be practi
cally stopped within six months, and for good, by the adoption of one
simple expedient.
Let every negro convicted of the crime be neither killed nor Im
prisoned. On the contrary, let him be Immediately released, after cas
trating him and branding him on the face with a mark which every hu
man being shall be able to recognise off-hand and unmistakably as the
mark ot the castrated rapist.
Six months of this method rigidly enforced—by legal enactment, If
possible, otherwise by organisation or white men—would so terrorise the
negroes that raping would practically cease. -
Commanding the attention of such an audience aa you do, through
voice and pen, you have an opportunity, by bringing about the adoption
of thla Infallible expedient, to earn tor yourself an undying fame as the
preserver of the white women of the South.
Yours very truly,

CALLS IT A GREAT SERVICE
honor, Its safety, Us women and Its enduring welfare.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
The people of Atlanta and of the
South can scarcely realise the debt
which they are due to the editor of
The Georgian for sending out to the
world so promptly that strong and
powerful statement of the provocation
which inspired the frensy of the At
lanta mob.
Bide by side with the statement of
the lawlessness and the horror of the
Atlanta slaughter, went the strong,
clear and appealing statement of John
Temple Graves, known throughout the
length and the breadth of the country,
giving the conditions of the awful reign
of terror which preceded the riot, and
which stirred to frensy the people of
the Houth In defense of the women
whom they have always worshipped
with a chivalry and devotion known to
no other people under the sun.
The letter of Mr. a raves did not In
any sense condone the fault or sin of
the mob. It did not defend lynching,
and It did not Justify the slaughter of
the Innocent. But It did give to. mil
lions of readers throughout the coun
try a statement of the appalling condi
tions which, holding the noble women
of the South under a reign of terror,
fired to frensy the people who were
rendered desperate by the failure of all
other methods and all other remedies
to hall the wild riot of rape which was
sweeping over the region of country
about Atlanta.
Never before on any elmllar occa
sion has there coma out to the people
of the country tide by side with the
news Item describing popular van
geance, so strong and so clear a state
ment of the awful provocation which
brought It about..
It goes without saying that no man
who read that statement of Mr. Graves
cgn fall to understand, even if he could
not Justify, the lawlessness of the mob.
From Portland, Ore., we have had the
comments of the Portland papers,
whose views were modified and whose
sympathy with the South was kindled
by this powerful statement of condi
tions. From St. Paul and Minneapolis,
we have had from the leading papers
the evidence that this manifest of
Southern wrongs and dangers had
given a more generous and considerate
view of the Southern problem. And,
from Chicago and Indianapolis and
Washington and New York and Boston
we have had the evidences of the great
and valuable service which that Initial
letter has done In giving the white
man’s side of the question to the read
ers of newspapers throughout the
country. •
Mr. araves has done many services
to the South In time past, but never a
greater service than this, and never
one for which the South should hold
him In more grateful remembrance.
