Some of our contemporaries across the line have been discussing the governor-elect of Georgia as a possibility for the" next national candidate of the Democratic party. The Georgian sees no reason why this Is not a natural and legitimate topic of dlacusilon. The governor-elect of Georgia fa easily recognised by well-informed public men and newapapera throughout the republic as one of the essentially strong and forceful Americans of this genera tion. His great force, bit enormous vitality, his strenu ous courage and hla splendid abilities have stamped him as s figure of high expectancy In the politics of the future. There can be no queatlon of the fact that Mr. Hoka Smith, of Georgia, la amply equipped with the ability end the experience to make a strong and vigorous chief executive of the United Ststes. He has already demon strated in his really wonderful conduct of the department of the interior, under Mr. Cleveland, that grasp of affairs taptjod jo pua l|«tep jo Xieisam eAisueqetdmoo tuq» pun than which the presidency would lay do higher tax upon his abilities. The time Is near at hand, If not already here, when a Southern man will be Just as eligible for the presidency as any citlxen of any section of the republic. The editor of The Georgian has been persuaded for these past several years that the people of this great country are simply waiting for an opportunity to give the finishing blow to sectionalism in the election of a Southern states man to one or the other of the chief places of the republic. Wo think that Democratic conventions. In which the South ought always to dominate, so long as she continues to furnish the vast majority of the votes, have been too timid and time-serving in past days upon this vital matter, it Is a question of where— "We either fear our fate too much, Or trust it not at ail, Who fear to put It to tbe touch, to win or lose It all.” The Democratic convention, which, looking into the face of this broad and fraternal age, will take from these roy ally and magnificently growing stateo of tbe South a statesman worthy In character and ability of presidential honors, and project him aa Its candidate, will reap the reward of Its courage in the response of the Amerlcsn people. So far as Mr. 8mlth Is concerned, it would doubtless be a very easy thing, it his friends would organise to that end, to make him the second figure upon the next national Democratic ticket. We seriously question whether Mr. Smith would accept or could afford to accept this position. We fully believe that there Is set for him in hla present station a mission of higher service and of even greater fame than the nominal poeltlon as president of tbe aenate and successor in an emergency to the president of the United States. At any rate. It is not untimely to. discuss a Southern man to lead tbe Democratic party in the next campaign. The Issues of the great battle of 1908 are not yet made up. nor Its esndidstss chosen. The age Is advancing, history la making along economic and commercial lines every day that we life, and 1 four speculative friends In the Northern and Central states are disposed to revolve their prophecies around the person of the governor-elect of Georgia, we do not hesitate to Inform them that he la to type and In capacity fully worthy of their profound and cordial consideration, and it likely either as a personal leader, or as a strong personal influence, to be recognised "and felt in tbe next national platform and candidate of the Democratic party. 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 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 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 emphatic lesson upon the value of consistency In publio life and upon the folly of yielding to violent hatred and bitter denunciation in political campaigns. The Fallen Jerome. Tew men in natidhal politics have risen so swiftly and fallen so fait as Mr. william Travers Jerome. Two years ago, at the conclusion of the New York municipal election, when. In bold defiance of party lines and of personal graft, he announced his fearless independ' ent candidacy for the district attorneyship, he was the distinct political Idol of New York, and was the toast of brave and honest politics throughout the country. Mr. Jerome’s tenure of offlee. however, demonstrated so large a difference between promlso and fulfillment, and upon the lips of his critics esme such a well-sustained charge of betrSyal of pledges made prior to his election, that he lost caste and the confidence of the people, and In his present lowly state is a very different man from the unique and triumphant publicist of two years ago. In the last election Mr. Jerome was an eager aspirant for a nomination for tbe governorship by any party that would accept him. He was an outspoken applicant for the Republican nomination or tbe Democratic nomina tion, aa the case might be, and was. above all things, a furious and frantic opponent ot Mr. Hearst, whom he now opposes with whatever feeble might Is left him. But Mr. Jerome Is eo far discredited that even tbe Republican party, with ail its frantic eagerness to defeat Mr. Hearst for the governorship, has seen fit to frankly decline the services of Mr. Jerome as a speaker In behalf of Hughes on the Republican side of the campaign. So that, rejected aa a nominee by both parties, debarred from any affiliation with tbe Democratic nominee and the Independence League nominee by his violent diatribe, he la now discredited as an influence by the Republican machine and seems to be without a party and without a welcome anywhere. The brief but meteoric csreer of Mr. Jerome in a very The President. Mrs. Davis and Georgia. How swiftly and yet how softly the asperities of politics and the impulsive expressions of youthful prejudice are modified la the lapse of years, or melted finally in the little acts of kindness which always move the world. There Is no rank or station that kindness does not touch, and no bosom however filled with mighty cares that does not answer back, swiftly reciprocal' to the sugges tion of a magnanimous and friendly spirit And the people—God bless them!—love and applaud the little things that breathe of grace and graclouanesi and greatness and a noble mind In one man or In many men. The world loves a generous deed and the doer ot It. Here are three incidents that will please this finer spirit of the times. Norwood Mitchell, a Virginian, and president of the Georgia commission for the Jamestown Exposition, con ceived In his chlvalrtc mind that Georgia would do a handsome and a proper thing by choosing for tbe Georgia House at Jamestown that old historic mansion at Ros well -in which was born and married the mother of the president of the United States, who at this time, and per haps for all time, will be reckoned the most Illustrious grandson of the commonwealth of Georgia. The sugges tion took Instant root in enthusiastic soil, for while there were many men in Georgia who took Isbub with some views of our great president, there were none who ques tioned bis fearless public bonesty, and there were many who followed in the faith of his recent public policies and other thousands of us, men and women, who find It easy to forget the strenuous president, in tbe cblvalric and tender gentleman who centered his visit to Georgia around an act of knightly and noble reverence to tbe gentle woman who gave him birth. If all the world loves a lover, it loves that lover not the less when his mother Is the object of his tenderness, and we In Georgia, more fortunate than our fellows, have seen in Theodore Roose velt the loving and loyal son, where others have wel corned only the statesman and the president. And so the thought was gallant and filial that con ceived the idea of touching the tenderest side of the great man’s nature by this joint tribute to his mother and himself. Did it reach the president’s appreciation? Instantly. No man ever yet has failed to reach Theodore Roose velt who touched that tenderer and nobler side ot him. On the day that the Georgia'papers and President Mitchell's letter readied the White House with the an nouncement of Georgia's Jamestown home, the president sat dowa within the hour and penned this cordial note which stnga true in every line: The White House, Washington, Oct. 16, 1906. My Dear Mr. Mitchell: ‘I need hardly say how much touched and pleased I was by the pro|x>»ftfon to reproduce my mother's old home at Jamestown. Naturally there was nothing that could have appealed to me more. Whatever the decision in the matter may finally be, allow roe to thank you most warmly for your suggestion. With great regard. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. W. N. Mitchell, Esq., President Georgia Commission to Jamestown Exposition,. Atlanta, On. On the same day there lay in quiet state In a New York hotel the mortal remains of a noble woman, who was known and honored in her lifetime aa the "Mother of the Dead Confederacy.” Between her chieftain husband and Theodore Roosevelt’s Impetuous youth there had widened a difference expressed tn warm and impatient words. Years had softened and stilled the Incident and many a time the president had said that in maturer years he would not have written as warmly as he did, and that It he was In private station he would say this to the world. And within tbe same hour that sped the telegram thanking Georgia for the tribute to his mother, the presi dent sent this brief but sufficient message to New York: "The White House. Washington, Oct. 17.—Mrs. J. Addison Hayes, Hotel Majestic. New York City: Pray accept the most sincere aympathy of Mrs. Roosevelt and myself. THEODORE ROOSEVELT." And the flowers of the White House, the rarest and most fragrant, went that day from President and Mrs. Roosevelt to take their place among the world-wide tributes to the dead wife of Jefferson Davis, the dead Mother of the Dead Confederacy! Is there any one who does not know that the message from Georgia to Washington, made a little swifter and a little softer the message from Washington to New .York? Without the message from Georgia that message would doubtless have gone from the Gentleman of the White House to the last survivor of the Gentleman of the Con federacy. But the heart of the gallant republic prefers to be lieve that the tribute of Georgia to the one mother quickened by a noble heart beat the tribute to the other from the great president of the United States. Union. It is a campaign practically of politics without regard to party. Neither Hearst nor Hughes care to have national Issues or a strict party alignment brought Into the campaign. ' Mr. Hearst’s campaign Is pitched upou tbe proposition to restore the American system of government to the country and tq abolish bosses and to do away with corporation control of the government. To accomplish this he is appealing jointly to Jefferson Democrats and Lincoln Republicans. Upon practically the same Issue in the last municipal campaign, 40 per cent of all his votes was composed of honest Republicans of the city. In this state campaign he expects 40 per cent of his support to come from the Lincoln Republicans of the state. For this reason Mr. Hearst does not care to hare party lines drawn, and for this reason be finds it fiood policy not to invife the most eloquent living Dem ocrat or any other national Democrat to speak for him upon strict party lines in the New York election. It is for exactly the same reason that President Roosevelt is not taking a personal part or making any personal speeches in the New York campaign of Candi date Hughes. Mr. Hughes has pitched his campaign upon the theory' that the issue is one ot decent govern ment and Is as eager as Mr. Hearst to obliterate strict party lines from the struggle because of his belief that many Democrats trill follow the lead ot bolters under/ McClellan, or McCarren and Jerome. It may be said that when Mr. Hughes takes his stand j upon the principle of decent government,-that Mr. Hearst docs not by any means accept that as the issue of the campaign or offer to meet him as the champion of the | other kind of government. On the other hand when Mr. , ^- ew York, Oct. 18. a queer Chi j Hearst says that the supreme issue Is the destruction of j custom, little known, I believe, cropped corporate rule. Mr. Hughes does not place himself as ' up today in connection with the an- the defendant of corporate rule. j nouncement yesterday of ths death in But there can be no doubt that tbe issue has made is the issue upon which the campaign ing fought and followed on either side. Mr. Hughes' diligent attempt to establish himself as the representative of decent government Is not likely to impress very profoundly the great mass of the New York voters who have seen only great reforms and honest elections come from the work of Mr. Hearst On the oth er hand. Mr. Hearst's contention that the issue of the hour it tbe destruction of corporate rule'and tbe aboli tion of bosses, will doubtless appeal to the Judgment and experience of the great mass of the voters In the city and throughout the state. Upon a comparison of issues, no man will deny that by the record and by observation, that Mr. Hearst has all the best of It. And any man who will read the speeches of the two candidates made in New York will not fall to recognize the greater clarity and. force of the Democratic candidate with the people. But the conditions given above in which politics Is being played without party, will furnish an ample expla nation of why Bryan is not speaking for Hearst, and why Roosevelt is not speaking for Charles E. Hnghes. The Issues are beyond party and, in point of fact, above party. * BY CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. nouncement yesterday or ths death to which each ( ' hlmi of the m ° ther of Str Chemung rnlgn is be- chon < r ' n,lnlster t0 the United Sir Chentung telegraphed his reslg. nation to his government In Pekin, but the latter promptly ordered him to remain at his post.

PLEA FOR COTTON FIELDS; ATLANTAN TO RANKERS TELLS OF GEORGIA’SNEED] Special to The Georgian. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 18.—A plea for the cotton fields was the subject of Charles J. Haden’s speech at the bankers' convention here today. Mr. Haden said In part: "The cot ton fields of the South need a larger volume of currency at the harvest sea son. Cotton at that season so nearly absorbs our whole banking capital that other lines of traffic are made to suffer. I am here to aak your distin guished body to throw the weight of Its great Influence tn favor of some plan that will relieve the yearly con gestion.” Mr. Haden then spoke ot the value of cotton to the world at large nnd produced figures of the past to back up hla statements. SAM JONES' WORK AT HOME; CARTERSVILLE TABERNA CLE WAS BUILT BY HIS EFFORTS Nooks and Comers of American History By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. Sam Jones was one ot the moei pub lic-spirited men In Cartersville. He was always Identified with every move ment for the upbuilding and better ment of his home town. Ills first move was to raise money for the construction of the building known as the Sam Jones Tabernacle, n structure with a seating capacity of over (.000. His meetings were always held In thta building, and every large gathering of a religious nature tool: place here. It cost several thousand dollars, and the money was raised by subscription. Mr. Jones' other movement was the one which resulted In the erection of a building to ba known aa the Sam Jones Female College. The evangelist was tn donate a certain amount ot money toward Its construction, while the bal ance w-as to be raised by the citizens of the' community. For some reason the balance of the money was never raised and the build ing was never used tor the purpose for which It was .originally Intended. It Is now used us the Cartersville High School. The building Is a two-story brick structure with a basement and cosl nearly >16,000. The building of a school for the education of poor girls was a project Which was close to the evange list's heart. He spent a great deal of time and labored earnestly and-faith fully toward this end, but his efforts were never crowned with success and the building was turned over to Car tersville without cost to the city. ACT OF CHARITY MARKED LA SI HOURS OF SAM JONES Why Bryan Is Not Speaking For Hearst. It has perhaps been an occasion ot some wonder, after what has been said and published, that Mr. Bryan is not at this time speaking in New York state in behalf of Mr. Hearat, the Democratic candidate tor governor ot that state. When Mr. Bryan lauded in New York Sir. Hearst oc cupied a box at his Garden reception and afterwards called upon him at tbe Victoria hotel. Mr. Hearst also refused to express in speech or in print his difference with Mr. Bryan upon 'the question of government own ership ot railroads because he was unwilling to be placed in the attitude of criticising Mr. Bryan's attitude. When Mr. Bryan was in Atlanta he authorized the edi tor of The Georgian to proffer hla services to Mr. Hearst for several speeches In the New York campaign as soon as the Buffalo'conventiou had completed ita work. Mr. Hearst received the message with every evidence of great appreciation and there is no doubt but that the most cordial personal relations exist between the two greatest Democrats of this generation. Why, then, since Mr. Bryan has offered and since Mr. Hearst su appreciates the offer, is not the New York campaign being enlivened and Inspired by the eloquence of the great Nebraskan and its Democracy solidified by the object lesson of Bryan and Hearst working in har mony for Democratic success? The answer to this question offers the fullest and rompletest explanation of the situation tn New York. There never was such a campaign as that which is being waged at prraeut la the Empire State of tbe N|ieelel to The Georgian. Cartersville, Ga., Oct. 18.—The last act of Sam Jones was one of charity. On his way from Oklahoma City to Memphis his attention had been called to a woman In one of the coaches. She was weeping ami appeared tn be In a distressed condlton. She was accom panied by an Invalid hushund, and were without money or ticket to com plete their Journey. Both were sup plied by the evangelist. The story Is told by Hov. French E. Oliver, of Chicago, who has been as sisting Mr. Jones In the West, and who accompanied the body und mem bers of the family to Cartersville. "Coming on the train over here,” said Bev. Oliver, "his daughter called her father's attentlo-i to a lady tn the day coach. -She went over and, after asking a few questions, found that the poor woman was without money nnd could not reach her destination, and that her husband wss very sick. Mr. Jones went to the Pullman con ductor Immediately and made arrange ments for a berth for the sick man. He sat down with the two. He told them that he loved them: that he was sorry for them, and would do whot he could. He gave them money enough to get them through. "The woman then asked who the kind man was, and she was told that he was Sam Jones, the evangelist. "The woman burst Into tears of grat itude and she could hardly express her thanks. "Through her tears she said that she had loved Sam Jones all her life, or since she was a child. " '1 didn't dream.' said she, 'that Sam Jones would be the man to help us out In our present condition.' "The country Is waking up to the fact,” continued Rev. Oliver, "that mighty prince has fallen In Israel. 1. was, without question In my mind, the greatest preacher America has ever produced. "That says it all, because the old country Is forced to send over here to get evangelists who can move their people. "He had the biggest heart for the unlovable and those who needed sym pathy of any man In this generation. “I believe undoubtedly .that he was ns truly a prophet of God ns was Moses or Isaiah. His fearlessness, coupled with his characteristic address, stimulated more preachers to activity than any one man since the days of Apostle Paul. Fearless as he was, his heart was as tender as that of a woman." CHARLES WATERTON. Probably not one person in a thou sand In this countfy has read "Water- ton's Wanderings," and yet It Is one of the dearest and most aehgiufui books In the world. No one can read the quaint old volume without falling in love with It, and, what Is better still, without being In evert noble way benefited by It. It was In the courso of his review of the "Wanderings” of the grand old English "Squire" that Sydney Smith, commenting on certain ot‘ Waterton's statements, got off his ever-famous remark about the Sloth who "Moves suspended, Vestq suspended, sleepe sus pended and passess his whole life In suspense, like a young clergyman dis tantly related to a bishop." Also of the Boa, who swallows the Box Tor toise, nnd "consumes him slowly In the Interior, as the court of chancery does a large estate." Charles Waterton, representative of one of the mast ancient untitled aristo cratic families of England, was born in 1783 nhd died In 1866, at the ven erable age of 83. -- No kinder, truer or more honorable man ever breathed the breath of life, und If the spirit that dominated hla life and that lives In every page of his charming book was universal among us the earth would be a differ ent thing from what It Is. — - - Waterton's chief wanderings were In South America, but In 1820 the grand old man took U Into his head to visit Canada and the United States. Of the city of Now York he wrote: "Ere long It will be on the coast of North America what Tyre once was on that of Syria. In her port ore the ships of all nations, and In her streets Is displayed merchandise from all parts of the world. Broadway Is the principal street. It Is three miles and a halt long. 1 am at a loss to know where to look for a street, in any part of the world, which has so many at tractions as this!” What would the dear old man have to say of the Broadway of today were he permitted to see It? A perfect rentleman. Indeed a most chivalrous and gallant knight In the sentiments of hla soul. It Is not sur- The deportation of a painting sup posed to have been the work of an Italian master, because the custom au thorities valued it at >200, and the Im porter had arranged to dispose of It for from >60.000 to >76,000, will open the eyes of prospective purchasers of old works of art. No one seems to know the owner of the painting or the nereon with whom he was negotiating for Its purchase. Connoisseurs are looking for more paintings said to be from the same brush. Experts say it Is eay to attribute paintings to old masters, and that many Americans are deceived in this wav. When it la argued that the price asked is excessive, the dealer calls attention to the high-duties paid through the appraisers' stores to prove a painting's authenticity. A duty of >10,000 would be paid on a painting invoiced at >50,- 000. The oldest actress is dead. Not many of us remember her and many more never even heard the name of Caroline Lovell, for she had not been on the etsge since 1867. Mrs. Lovell died at her home In En glewood, N. J. She was 89 years of age. Mrs. Lovell was on the stage 26 years, but since 1867 had led a secluded life. She played at the Park theater. New York city, with Edwin Forrest, the elder Booth, father pf Edwin Booth. Mrs. Henry Hunt, who afterwards be came Mrs. John Drew, Sr.. Charlotte Cushman, Tom Hamblin and other no tables. She had beeft ailing for the last few weeks with heart disease and her death was a peaceful one. The' house It fit ted with old-time furniture, engravings and pictures of old actors and writers. Her first husband was James W. Pritchard, who was killed In the West by an accident. Her second husband was Henry V. Lovell, and .she played under the name of Caroline Lovell. Coney Island Is nearly drowned to day. The great bulkhead at the loot of Ocean Parkway was battered, but without sufficient force to destroy it. The waves swept over It and inundated the roadways bicycle paths the tracks of the Brighton Beach railroad and the grounds of Hotel Rlccadcnna. The water line reached almost to Sheeps- head Bay road. It was one of the highest tides that has ever been seen at this place. NEW HOSPITAL PUNS FOR SOLDIERS' HOME At the regular quarterly meeting of the truetees of the Soldiers' Homo Wednesday a committee was appointed to advertise for plane and bids for the new hoepttsl. The following compose this commit tee: H. W. Bell, W. H. Thompson, C. D. Phillips, L. C. Brewer, W. H. Harrison and Dr. Amos Fox. At the last ses sion of the legislature an appropriation of >7,60i) was made for tbe erection of this hospital. The committee Is em powered to select a site for the build ing. The home was thoroughly Inspected by the trustees during the meeting, and they reported that everything was tn a satisfactory condition. The secretary, the superintendent and the surgeon made their quarterly reports. The number of veterans now In the home Is 110. Seven were admitted during the past quarter. Five died Is that time. PEONAGE CHARGED AGAINST BIBB MAN Special to The Georgian. Macon, Ga, Oct. 1>.—Charged with peonage In the shape of holding Mem- ford Kixzy, a negro, against his will for four yenra because of a >66 debt, M.

In order that he might be found when wanted for a wit ness, Kiixy was held under a >200 . . bond. The case was the result of quiet ihoufd have come over "w ith Waterton ng: "Nothing can surpass the appearance of the American ladles -vhen they take their morning walk from 12 to S In Broadway." And the men—what pinks of pro. nrlety they were! "Everybody seemed to walk at his ease." wrote the genial old' aqulre of Walton Hall. "I could see no Inclination for Jostling: no lm. pertinent staring at you, nor attempts tn create a row In order to pick your pocket. I would aland for an hour In Broadway to observe the passing mul titude. There Is certainly a gentleness In these people to he both admired anu Imitated." Fortunate old man. that you were permitted to depart before the evh days of the "Bridge rush" and the big times at the "Giidenl" "He Is very inquisitive,” says our author of the American: "but it Is quite wrong on that account to tax him with being of ait Impertlnert turn He itierely Interrogates you tor In formation, and when you have sails fled him on that score, only ask nlm In your turn for an account of what la going on in his own country, and he will tell you everything about It. with great good humor, and In excel lent language.
