time: is approaching
FOR REAL CAMPAIGN
Arc you watching this municipal owucritip movement ?
It’s growing—growing faster than you know—faster than
The Georgian expected it to grow. There’ll be something doing
in a short while.
Don’t think-that because there isn't an election next week
tn deride if. or befcauso you don't see something about it in The
(■Yorgiio every clay, that it is quiet.
It is about the livest proposition in Atlanta today. The peo
ple arc talking about it, thinking over it, figuring on it. They
will be ready to act when the time comes.
Dpt we want YOU in it. YOU ought to be in it. It affects
YOU.
This isn't The Georgian's tight exeept as The Georginu rep-
res •uts the people and their best interests. It is YOUfl fight.
YOU have light bills to pay. I is to save YOU money.
While YOU are thinking it over mid saying to yourself that
it would be a pretty good thing, other men are signing the appli
cations for membership and talking municipal ownership to their
friends.
It’s up to YOU to DO something!
If YOU really want this tiling it is up to YOU to do some
thing for YOURSELF.
Get busy. Talk to your friends qbout it. Get the men in
your block in tine.
This is going to be the people’s tight. There are no cam
paign funds—no “barrel” in this campaign. There nrc no special
interests to be served, no special interest to pay.
The “special interests” are on the other side. They may
“produce” when they see the danger. But what municipal'own
ership needs is YOUR vote and YOUR influence for YOUR
good. Are you ready to give itT
You will be given an opportunity to start actively to work in
a short time. The league is growing big enough to btftfin a cam

think about this movement.

Victor R. Smith
New York, Nov. 8.—With only a few
weeks Intervening before he must face
jury charged with the murder of
Stanford White, the archlteot, Harry
K. Thaw now dreads the ordeal. ‘ He
finds himself undecided as to who shall
Plead his case before the" Jury and Is
without settled plan of defense.
A score of famous lawyer* In. this
city,'Pittsburg and Philadelphia have
been negotiated with, but, warned by
the experience of the firm of Black,
Olcott, Oruber A Boynge. they have
hesitated to accept a retainer except
upon'the most explicit terms.
Clifford W. Hartrldge, a lawyer of
some civil practice and on old friend
of Thaw, has beon his legal adviser.
Lawyer Hartrldge Is Southern, born
and Is believed to have greater faith
In the efficacy- of tho plea of the "high.
*r law” jurisdiction for the murder of
Stanford White than a lawyer of u
geographically cooler temperament.
Thaw has all along raged at the idea
of his pleading Insanity, even emotional
Insanity, as prompting his shooting of
White. He has wanted to be tried as
the avenger of his wife's betrayal.
Noted lawyers who have been asked
defend Thaw before a Jury are tin-
willing to risk their" repWstlon* upon
such a defense, knojvlng that Informa
tion In the possession of the district
attorney will be used to combat testi
mony representing Mrs. Thaw ns tho
(victim of the wiles of the slain arclil
tect.
They have also been unwilling to-ac
cept the retainer of a client who will
not be bound In a reasonable degree to
abide by their dictum lit the matter of
1 GOLDEN TEXT—Not my will, but th
After the institution of the Lord’s
Supper Jesus and HI* disciples went
out Into the .Mount of Olives to a gar
den culled Oethsemane, the name
meaning an oil press, and doubtless
so called because in It there was an oil
press.
The supposition Is that they /eft the
city by the gato of 'St. Stephen, as It
Is known today, thence across the wsdy
of Kedrun, a hundred feet below, and
then up.the green slope beyond. On
acoount of the Passover the gate would
he open at night. •
Only one memorable Incident on the
way Is recorded. He told them that on
that night they all slmuld be offended
In Him, and Peter again avows his
loyalty; even If It should coet him his
•life.
Tills garden was about half a mile
from the city walls, and doubtless had
been a frequent resort for Jesus and
Ills disciples. It was on the way to
Bethany. Ilfs nightly resting place.
In It today the tourist sees some
largo gnarled olive trees, one of which
Is known ns the Tree of Agony, and
which tradition claims as the tree that
stood there on that eventful night.
There Is little foundation for such a
belief, as all the trees around the city
destroyed when It. was besieged
by Gitus.
Although the exact spot ednnot bo
determined with certainty, yet the gen
eral location Is clear. The garden of
Edeit'and the garden of Gethsemane
will*be ever memorable because*In the
one man was lost, and In the other he
was regained.
After entering tho garden He com
manded the disciples to sit down and
rest, all but »hree, Peter. James and
John—the same ones who had been
with Him on the Mount of transfigura
tion. These were to follow Him be
yond the first few steps Into the ln-
clnsuic. And then leaving the three,
He passed a little further on—ntiout a
stone's throw. Falling with His face
upon the ground, He prayed- till His
sweat became ns great drops of blood.
He was "exceeding sorrowful.” Sore
amazed, "very heavy.” The Greek
word here translated heavy means not
at home. The sorrow of a stranger In
u strange land, a homesick grief. Luke
says He was In "agony.” This word
has been transferred—not translated—
Into our language, and Is tho word
applied to Mine who ran In the foot
race.or contended with' gladiator or
wild beast on the bloody arena, when
every nerve' and muscle was strained
to Its' utmost tension. Literally He
agonized.
He dreaded drinking the draught
that was pressing His Ups. It was the
shrinking of His humanity from the
trial before Him. HIS whole nature
was more sensitive than ours. He
knew His disciples would forsake Him
and us had been predicted centuries
before. He would -tread the wine press
alone."
But He saw more than mere physical
.suffering. Himself, Innocent, He waa
to endure the penalty of eln.
When He came back to Ills disciples
He found them asleep. They had been
up all the night and bed been much
excited by the events of the -previous
days. They were physically exhaust
ed and so the Savior Instead of ad
ministering a severe reproof, urges
them to watchfulness.’ He again re
tires and utters the same prayer, “not
my will but thine be done.”
When He returns a second time He
finds them asleep again. They were
losing their opportunity of cheering
and comforting their Mastyr in His
sorest trial.
, Man had failed Him, but the need of
human comfort was passing away.- '
Ills earnest cry had passed Into sub
mission. His spirit had broken through
the cloud that had for a moment dark
ened It, and reposed once more In the
calm light of God.
Luke saye nn angel came from heav
en and strengthened Hint.
Angels desired to look Into the plan
of redemption before He came. They
sang His song of nativity. An angel
strengthened Him after His forty days
of fasting, and Hla temptation by Sa
tan. An angel rolled away the stone
from Ills sepulcher. ' Angels farmed
His escort nt the time of His ascen
sion, and will return with Him aa His
reapers when He comes the second
time.
Gethsemane Was Satan's Waterloo.
It was here Christ Avon Ills. great
final victory,
In tho meantime Judas had been
busy. He had reported to the nuthor-
Itlei that the favorable moment had
come. Jesus wa# without the walla of
the city away from the multitude,
doubtless knew where to find Him.
The authorities remained in perma
nent session till the arrest was effect
ed and then detached a part of the
Temple Watch, and some of tho chief
priests and ciders accompanied them.
The high priest had communicated with
Pilate, so a bend of troops from Anto
nin were ordered. A rabble of servants
of the high priests and chief men, with
lanterns and torches, led by Judas,
went In quest of Jesus.
He had just returned from Ills third
prayer when He heard the noise of the
coming crowd, and warned Hie disci
ples of their coming, and that His
hour had come to be betrayed Into the
hands of sinners. •
Judos came forward and saluted Him
vrith a kiss. The word Implies that ho
kissed much, again and again. Jeeus
called hint comrade, not friend, as In
our translation.
The Impulsive, Impetuous Peter drew
his sword and cut off the ear of ono of
tha servants, which Christ Immediate
ly healed—Ills last healing act of mer

final word was Maltre Bonnet's as
surance of fount Bonl's undying of
fer! Ion .for hls wife, and the demand
that the ca»e he postponed for a fort
night In order to give the countess an
opportunity to reflect upon the advisa
bility of a reconciliation.
This the court refused, and adjourned
for ono week, when Its decision—either
the ordering of an Inquiry or the
granting of a divorce—will be handed
down.
Tilts Between Lawyers.
The proceedings were confined large
ly to tilts between opposing counsel
over the charge made against Edmund
Kelly, of counsel for tile countess. Mr.
Kelly bus denied these charges Indig
nantly und makes the counter charge
that the count himself hatched up a
conspiracy for the purpose of making
hls wife believe that he, Kelly, had
organized a plot to bring about the
count's political destruction.
The arguments In the creditors’ case
wns opened by Maltre Mlllerantl, who
claimed that the lion's share of the
money Involved „wns owing to trades
men. It Is stated upon authority that
this claim will he contested by the
icountess' attorneys, who are said to be
settling all legitimate bills.
Titlsd People Present.
Titled men und women, dukes, counts,
marquises, marchionesses and count
esses, the elite of Paris eoclety, were
among the audience when the bearing
was continued before the tribunal uf
tho Heine.
Count dc Costellane’s piteous love
letters nnd pleas to hls countess have
exposed him to tho eyes of the fashion
able world, and he Is being lanipoened
unmercifully In the press. He Is copi-
pletely ostracized by society.
The count's lawyer Insisted that the
children should not be allowed to go to
America without tho count's consent,
and that they should bo reared at
Frenchmen.
Count Dots Not Gamble.
.Maltre Bonnet declared that all Hie
count's debts were due to lavish ejt-
pendlturc upon the household and were
not personal. Certainly they were not
caused by gambling, because the count
did not gamble. He had spent nn
180,000 legacy and hnd anticipated
a legacy from Ills father to the
amount of 3160,000, alt of which had
gone Into that bottomless pit, the Tri

\
than ue found one day In our trips
about Holland.
The Island of Marken is three hours
froui Amsterdam, part of the way by
train nnd sea'formed by an inundat
ing Delude, which befell Holland In tho
thirteenth century, j’uttlng Frlcseland
away from th© main coast and creutlng
Islands everywhere. Of all tho Islands.
Mai ken has kept mol e of the primitive.
churarteristlcH In habits and costumes
than any other perhaps.
It was HaAirda.v that we made our
vdslt; and all the fishermen had an
chored their boats in the channel. Such
a picturesque fleet as It was, with dry
ing: nets hanging' from the masts, nnd
making«an almost contlnuoutt screen
through which we saw\thc houses and
the people ns we approached.
Just outsldcfthe wharf, n boat was
coming In. It flung to the wind one
white nnd one deep nmroon sail, and
the sailors Who pulled nt the ropes
wore bulging blue trousers, gathei-ed
full at the waist and knee, and a bright
scarlet jacket. It was a sight to thrill
the soul of an artist: and It Is no won
der firtists on these Islands are as
thick an sea gulls during summer sea
sons.
It was haying time In Maiken and
the men and women were busy loading
the hay which hnd been brought to the
w harf ready for market.
As if Hint night alone were not
enough for our eager eyes, down from
the hunch of box-llkc houses In the
foreground swarmed a score of chil
dren of ail ages and sixes, In their
Island costumes, alert for the profit
they have learned Ilea In the tourist's
kodak There were many kodaks und
many English and American and Ger
man tourists seeking the unusual, and
the novel: and the Marken children
reaped a goodly harvest of pennies that
afternoon.
And while this was all very Interest
ing, It possessed -a side that wus sad
dening as well to one who loves tho
humnn race and hopes for Its gradual
uplifting. Primitive, and simple, and
artistlc ns the life on the Island of
Marken Is today, Industrious and clean
ly and kindly as are the people, the
sin Of the age has come upon them
through the contact with tourists.
Greed for money has become a ma
nia tvlth tho children of the Island.
And with It have come all the other
evil passions. In thetr eagerness to
possess the pennies which the tourists
are ready to bestow for the privilege
of a snap-shot, they h«v© developed
avarice, Jealousy, envy and III will.
They push and crowd one another
for prominence In u group: they In
trude themselves Into a picture unin
vited and grasp for the pennies the se
lected ones receive; they follow visitors
and Impostune them for money favors;
and from golden-haired cherubs In
picture cubes they become 111-temper-
have been well cared for since.
I have not ween one diaagre«;ili
child til Holland, save those tl
Island of Markden, who have hecon
“grafters*’ through contact with ton
Ists. Nor have I *een si bold, or il
mannered child.
One day we went up to Frle>etanc
to Lecuwnrden, the home of the o
Freslan Kings. It Is a ton«iderali
city of thirty thousand Inhabitants. \
it is out of the line for tourists, and In
retained Its village alrtplli lty in con-
quence. The wealthy dame* of am la
pedigree wear the old head dress m:u
of pure gold, twenty karat line. «?
costing eighty dollars without the
pensive lace cap which usually a* • mi
panics It. Bomettmes these bead plan
are made of sterling silver, but oni
the servants venture to wear a lcs«i
metal.
Our advent Into this town seemed i
be an event to the children, and. IhOflc
there was an exposition In progress nu
many out-of-town people In erldern*
the children seemed to realize wet
from another world than the one i
which they belonged. Yet now In r*« w*i
I more impressed by tho good breed
Ing and kindly hearts of the children >
when disappointed or put ast
I kissed the round; dimpled, bare arm
of a beautlfur baby, which an older girl
waa carrying over her shoulder. The
girl turned In time to see my caress,
and struck at me. because we refused
to kodak her w'hen she followed us, or
to pay her to vlslj the. Interior oi f her
home.
We had already visited another in
terior, and been mpply recompensed for
the cost; so unique nnd attractive, oro
these houses, and such living temples
are they for the god of cleanliness who
rules In Holland.
As our boat sailed out, some English
women In the party tossed pennies on
the strand. Never have I seen a more
unhappy exhibition of greed among
children.
As they scrambled for the shining
bits of copper a boy struck a gM “
Holland than here.
An automobile veil, worn to pro
tect unruly locks on boat and train,
was evidently as Interesting t«» the
c hildren of Lectiwarden as the metal and
cave headgear of the town ladles wa-
to us.
Yet In what admirable restraint th-
sweet flock kept their curiosity. Thre*
little maids followed us. to be sure, fm
more than an hour, and Anally masked
their curiosity under cunning subter
fuge*. and pretended to be looking in
shop windows near by, or to turn and
forget something that they might walk
by uh again and take another shy peep.
Never once t’ld they boldly stare.
J have mastered three sentences in
the Dutcli language, one to know how
to call my chambermaid. “What Is
your name?" When I asked one ••!
these little girls tills question Anally,
and so broke tho ice of strangeness
there was much excitement in
group and much blushing nnd flutter
ing. She had eyes like a young heifer,
limpid and soft und brown; and when
she said her name was “Bovina" I wn«
pleased; and when she said It was
“Smith” I was sorry- But. of course,
it will change Some day. for there seem
to be no spinsters, or bachelor girls, in
Holland. #
I left my little friends nt Leeu-
tvarden I could not help thinking limv
differently a bevy of American chil
dren would expressed their curiosity II
a Holland Islander, with her strange
heud dress, had walked down Broad
way, or the street. Indeed, of any of
Our American cities.

of chance, that we could carry till*
