It la a matter of plea.ure for The Georgian to be able heartily to join In the general welcome given to Uncle Remus' Magazine, announcement of which has Juat been made. The magazine la projected along he roic lines, and has set for Itself a standard which, If maintained, aseures lit success. Its motto Is “typical of the South, of Interest te the North, national in scope.'' The most flnlky can And no fault with that. In considering the new venture, the mind naturally hearkens back to the many Southern ntagazlnes.of the past, which early succumbed to the grim reaper. They all languished and passed away from pretty- much the same causes—lack of money and narrowness of acope. The names of a dozen of Atlanta's ttioat prominent figures In the financial world In the directorate of tho publishing company and the fact that Joel' Chandler Harrla It to be active editor, seem to remove at the atart the old menace from this new project. Looked at from the material stand point, the new magazine Is welcomed by Atlantans because It will mark a great advance by the city In a new direction.' , From the perspective of the read Ing public It will be welcomed, because It promises somsthlng new and of de elded class In the mass of literature and near-literature of the day.

Another thrust at Bill Taft, PRESIDENT HARVIE JORDAN UNDER FIRE. Those sre serious charges that C. 8. Barrett, president of the Farmers' Union, makes against'Harvle Jordan,, president of the Southern Cotton Asioctation, and they are not to be lightly dismissed as public airing of a private quarrel or extension of the cacoethes scrlhcndl now epidemic. The burden of Mr. Barrett's card can hardly be called an Insinuation or Innuendo. As president of the Farmers' Union be makes fiat, direct, unequivocal charge of a "Wall street annex established by Mr. Jordan,"/ president of the Southern Cotton Association. Following this up, he says: "Lest what I say be regarded as vague—and'I am a man who speaks by direct methods, and w’ho endeavors to conceal nothing—let me say that when I refer to. Mr, Jordan's Wall street annex, I but give utterance to the protest of thousands of^farmers throughout the South at his constant Inter course with somp of the prominent speculators of Wall street—men who are known to be perfectly conscienceless when It comes to dealing with any body who hat anything to sell. Who, for Instance, would think of Joe Hoadley as being a farmers' Moses? And yet backward and forward Mr. Jordan has gone between Atlanta and Mr. Hoadley’a luxurious New York office, waa gorgeously entertained recently. I understand, on,Mr. Hoadley's $3,000,000 yacht on an Atlantic cruise, and then comes back, (till damp with the ocean mlats. Just In time to announce that the reports of the gulf etorm had been greatly exaggerated and thtt this year's cotton crop would be the SECOND largest th the history of the 8outh." The directness- of this allegation demands an equally straightforward statement from President Jordan. For the friendship of Messrs. Jordan and Joe Hoadley has for a year been a matter of much comment In the cotton exchanges of the country. For Instance— The foHowIng'Cotton letters were Issued last W inter by one of the lead ing brokerage houses ,of the New York Exchange, being telegraphed all over the country for the Irtfurmatlon of speculators: DAILY COTTON LETTER. New York, N. Y„ December ”, 1905, Business Is at a practical standstill, pendtyig the Issuance of the census, which Is likely to be In the neighborhood of eight and one-half millions ginned. We doubt If It will have more than temporary effect either way, ns this Is but the census department's effort to count the bales of a crop, the total of which we all feel certain will not exceed ten and a quarter mil lion bales. While the market hesitates, awaiting this report, It Is great satisfaction to feel assured that the work la being scientifically done and no amount of graft or influence can affect It. Many people distrust the market because of Hoadley's conspicuous as sociation with It. He Is making the most of his alleged friendship for Pres ident Jordan, and the latter gentleman Is Injuring a great cause' by not denying the report of Ills frequent conferences with this notorious person. DAILY COTTON LETTER. New York, N. Y., December 11, 1905. It is easy to comprehend the position of Hoadley In the cotton market, but noithlnklng man can approve of Mr. Harvle Jordan's association with a notorious speculator, simply because he apparently and for the time be ing favors higher prices for cotton. Mr. Jordan la supposed to represent the Intelligence and determination of the cotton planter. The country looka to him to stand for and defend the highest alms and purposes of the South, ahd he weakens a great cause by making any speculator his confidant and , spokesman.

The Fraternity Syitem. A fight at Mercer University between fraternity men and those denominated "barbarians" In the undergraduate vernacular calls attention again to the problem that has for many years been perplexing college presidents and col lege trustees of the country. The Greek letter fraternity Is an established fact. Hence, It will require much theory In the shape of strong argument lo overthrow It as an Insti tution. ‘There are, speaking roughly, fifty big national fraternities drawing their active membership from the stu dent body of the leading universities and colleges of the country. Nearly all of them have been In existence more then 25 years. Tlfelr members, active and graduate, are conspicuously loyal to their fraternity, and all the Greek letter men—though they aa bodies have their rivalries and quarrela among themselves—untte In a common cause when any attack la made on the exist ence of the fraternity. Agitation agalnet the fraternity has never reached an acute stage In the- colleges of Georgia, and at present the Greek letter societies are flourishing at the Stale University at Athens, at Emory, at Mercer, at Tech and at the Dahlonega school. Yet there Is In at least four of these colleges an organl- atlon of tho non-fraternity men. cer tainly for purpose of fighting the fra ternities in college pqlltlcs and possi bly for the purpoee of making for the abolition of the "frst" system. Fraternity men argue that their or ganisations are based on the highest Ideals of morality and manhood; that they bring the chosen few together In society that la -of pleasure and of profit; that the affiliation accomplishes a result that would otherwise be sought hopelessly by the college president. In bringing the younger—ami naturally rather Inclined to he wayward—stu dents under the Influence of the older and steadier men. That there Is much strength In this last argument none who has ever known college life can doubt, a rare exception appearing no# and then In which the older members have had corrupting Influence. Against the fraternity ay-stem Is brought the one potent argument of undemocratic exclusiveness. The fra ternity men naturally re-ly that there can be no society without exclusive ness. However, their opponents argue that the system leads lo snobbishness, superciliousness, selflahnrs and fre quent adherence to moves that are opposed to the Interest of the student body as a whole. They maintain that the vernacular Itself shows the spirit of the Institution In terming the socie ty men "Greeks” and all others "bar barians.” And In every college the ratio Is at least one fraternity man to three “non-frat” men. Yet there never was a good that waa wholly good. It must always be con sidered a mailer of relativity. And In maintaining the fraternity systems the universities have deter mined that the general good resulting outweighs the evils. . There Is one feature In the system that seems t6 require changing, how ever. , Under the scheme as It Is now |ttv fraternity men are selected Immediate ly upon the opening of college each year, and frequently they are elected and "pledged" even before they enter college. In this way many students of character and ability, men who deserve to be fraternity men and men who feel throughout their, college course the slight, are because of slight uncouth- nesa of appearance, perhaps, or of a retiring disposition or of a lack of prepoateeslng superficiality not elected members. And It seems to be a general custom that no man. unasked by a fraternity during the "rushing season." shall be elected later, even though he has demonstrated Ills worth and de sirability. For the sake of eternal fairness and In order the belter to realise their own Ideals, the fraternities should change tfielr arbitrary manner of electing new member* and make achievement In the college world the Criterion of qualifica tion. ways on edge, shifting the bottle hither and thither and yet not making science and well-defined policy subservient to luck and chance, v . premium wax''put on vigilance and resourcefulness, yet team work and unity of action did not go unrewarded. In short, there was greater variety than In big games of previous years, the ball was exposed to the stands a great deal by the open play and the better team won by a natural margin. This test the new rules survived, 'Why,' was the- comment of a close observer, this game Is like baseball; they throw the ball around ao much.' ” 1 It would appear from this that the natlonel rules committee Is to be con gratulated on, the success of its re form.

Tlflk exalted place Marshall filled for 35 years. As chief Justice he may ba said to have created the spirit of na tionality.

We are great ascet ics, and even deny ourselves wine, ex cept In wet weather. What I say about wine gives you our rule, but It some times happens that the chief Justice will say to me, when the cloth Is re moved: 'Brother £tory, step to the window and see If IL does not look like rain.' And If 1 tell him that the sun Is shining brightly, Judge Marshall will sometimes reply: ‘All the better, for our jurisdiction Is over so large a ter. rltory that the doctrine of chances makes It certain that* It must be rain ing somewhere.'" Marshall's judicial duties called him annually to Raleigh, N. and on such occasions he would always stop with a certain landlord whose house was noted for Its want of comfort. On one of his visits the chief Justice was seen very early In the morning gathering up an armful of wood at the woodpile, which he carried Into the house. When asked later on In the day what he had been about In the morning, he replied: “I suppose It Is not convenient for Air. t'oolt to keep a servant, so I make up my own fires.” No man ever questioned Marshall's Integrity. His unsophisticated good ness awed all men. Aa Is well known, Marshall presided at the‘famous Aaron Burr trial, In which we have a striking demonstra tion of the absolute Integrity and Jus tice of Marshall’s character. He was Intimately acquainted with and dearly loved Alexander Hamilton, and yet he charged the Jury In favor of Aaron Burr—because from the evidence In the case he saw that Burr was not guilty. The young men of today cannot af ford to forget John Marshall. His pa. trlotlam, Ills Integrity mid love of prin ciple, and. last, but not least, his beau tiful simplicity, make him a model that the young peoplo of today can well af ford reverently and lovingly to study. / Christ healing, wrote her marvelous book, "Science and Health,” with key to the Scriptures, and gave to the wofld her revelation.
