Other cities do this and get gas as low ss 60 cents, with n profit to the city. This should be done at once. The Georgian to* lleves that If street railways can lie operated successfully by B u r o p e a it cities, as they are. there Is no good reason why they cannot tie so operated S re. But we do not bellovo this can done now. and it may tie some years ore we are ready for so lit* an un dertaking. Still Atlanta should set Its face In that direction NOW. "White Blood.” Whom that la Baptist doe* not Know Dr. Henry M. Wharton? And whom, for that matter, Baptist or no Baptlat, doea not know and love thte large and vital evangelist, this wholesome and effective preacher, this philosopher of eventa and this strong. «hnlesomo Southern personality which has for so long a time done its great and effective work la the Southern church? Dr. Wharton's latest achievement In the world of letters Is ’ a strong and Interesting novel which, under the title of “White Rlood." Is a story of the South which establishes In Its strong and earnest pages the suprem' acy of white blood and the unconquer able future of the Saxon rgee. Few'men have been better situated than Dr. Wharton to know and to atudy the negro. Whether as a laiy niton his own Virginia plantation, as a soldier In the Confederate armies, as bearing a part In tho struggle of the heroic reconstruction, or as a phil osopher In this later day, and above nil things a preacher both to while and to negro people In the South, Dr. Wharton has had at least the rare equipment of experience for his work. “White Blood" Is not so fiery and passionate a novel as "The Clans- man." but It will doubtless make much larger and more wbolesonie Itu- pr< sslon upon the people outside of < he South tn a strong, brave and hon est way. it wraps around vivid In cidents and tender love Story the gr. at truth which tno author desires to Impress, that In this Southern country both the Interest of the white man and the Interest of the negro Jointly demand that the Caucasian -hall rub- and direct the civilisation upon which the prosperity of both depends. Dr. Wharton has told his -tory vividly, and in many canes pow erfully, and we feel sure that his ibnusands of friends iu Dixie will lie -li lighted to read this creation of his fancy upon the fabric of his experi ence and philosophy. POPULAR JURIES JUDGING RAILROADS. The progress of the suits In the isw-lf last summer’s picnic part against the Central and Atlanta and West Point railroads would not Indicate the existence of any particular prejudice against the railroads on the part of that iiortlon of the public which makes up the petit juries of the country. Up to Monday noon, out of suits aggregating claims of 1135,000, the judgments given and verdicts rendered only made an aggregate of about $3,000 against the roads. Surely no man who reads these verdicts rendered by jurors Uvins within the environment of the parties killed and Injured will derive the impression that the railroad could not get justice or that there was an unfair spirit toward the corporation In the dispensation of equity by the people and the law. The fact Is that there Is no prejudice against the railroad except that which the railroad makes. In sections of the country through which these great transportation Hues pass, the people In their attitude toward the rail roads reflect roost accurately and promptly the. exact attitude of the rail roads toward them. If the railroad Is kind, accommodating, and helpful to the people of the community through which It passes; If it Is noU disagreeable In the matter of side tracks and depots and' the stopping of trains upon serious emergencies—If It Is not arrogant and dictatorial In Us attitude toward the traveling public; . If It Is not unfair and extortionate In the rates of freight- why the people who live along those lines entertain for the corporations a feeling as friendly as that which they carry for each other They are al ways willing to oblige the railroads; they are always willing to do them justice. They have loBt long since the class distinction which made any countryman ready to render a verdict against the railroad because ho thought the railroad had the most money or the largest purse. That class of countrymen no longer live, at least In this good state of Georgia. They are a reading, thinking, and a prosperous people. And they are fair and honorable, and they can weigh law, evidence and equity In a case against the railroad just as well as they could a case against one of their own number. / 1-eftvo I he people's minds unclouded by Injustice and unlrrltated by arro gance and oppression and the people are amiable and always fair. We know railroad presidents In this state who are as popular with the country peo ple through whom they travel as any one of their fellow cltlxens In the several counties. And we know railroad presldenta whose manners and whose methods are so arrogant that It does Indeed become a serious trial to a rcd-hloodod human being to be fair and kind to such men or to tho Interests which they represent. ^ Neither In railroads nor In Individual relations doss tho Golden Rule fall to do its lieautlful and perfect work. "Do unto others as you would Ibat others should do unto you,” applies as well to a railroad president as to a Sunday school superintendent, and tho kind words which never die when joined to kind deedB that shall alwayR live, make up tho best and most statesmanlike policy which a corporation president can put Into exe cution among a people who are Inherently fair and just and kind. Wo trust that no unfair or unrighteous verdict may be rendered against the cor|ioration In these Important eases. We trust that no man who sweara upon the Hook will forgot in the jury box his obligation to deal without prejudice and without discrimination. And we commend both to corpora tion and to counties, to plutocratic syndicates and to a pulsing people, that kindness and fairness and justice are the foundation stones of righteous ness and^he solid bulwark of a permanent prosperity. A large lot of elementary slush has been sent from New York to Atlanta .elating to the Hearst camiiaign and Ita results. Part of this Is truckling, and part sheer Ignorance. This much la dear about the New York cam paign. It was fought upon a great platform of simple, vital princlfdcs. It was fought bravely, clearly and pow erfully. Such principles never die. nor do such advocates go down to burial until their work Is done. Hearst will live and his principles will triumph. The Armory-Auditorium Is mighty likely to get Its ortbeoplcal legs en tangled In Atlanta's lingual passages, anil wheu it Ih duly and formally named the people of Atlanta will then duly proceed to call it just what Is most convenient and acceptable tbelr tongues. The city and state are notr ready to get down to the serious and ab sorbing business of making ready for the annual visit of Santa Clans. All those under ten years at age who favor this movement will pita sc The Savannah mao who comes to Atlanta often Is distinguished from others of bla fellow citlsens by the su perior speed with which he gets to bis office In the morning. Col. Pl-naant Stovall, of The Savan nah Press, Is a radical believer In con servatism. WHERE DOES DEMOCRACY STAND? After the storm of the ballots In the Umpire State of the North, Democracy may well begin to detorroine where It stands, wlial It stands for, and who stands with It. Certain It Is, that never In our political history have party ties set so lightly upon the political consciences of suffragists in the republic. It Is In truth and In fact tho most fearless and most lndepondent age of thinking that our politics have ever known. Hearst and Hughes In New York held off from the hustings on which they harassed their issues, all suggestions of national politics or of strict party alignment Tho greatest state In the Union in the greatest contest lu Its history fought out the battle upon lines of policy and conviction rather than uiion lines of partisanship nnd party conviction. Fifty per cent of the men who voted for Hearst In the last election were Republicans. Forty per cent of the men who voted for Hughes In the last election were Democrats, and these men voted not along traditional lines of party nor by edict of caucuses or convention, hut rather by tho strict lines of convic tion In the disposition of their ballots. It was an epochal election In the history of tho republic. Let us consider the conditions as they appeared iu New York and after ward as they look In other portions of the republic. Mr. Hearst waa tho candidate of, tjie regular Democratic state convention at Buffalo. Ho received nearly two-thirds If not three-fourths of the vote of that conven tion. When he went before the public of New York for votes, the Demo cratic mayor of New York was .against him The Democratic leader of Brooklyn. In Kings county, was against him. Every corporate Democrat In the city and state was against him. nnd he fought against an array of Democrats almost as large and almost as Influential aa the Republicans who opposed him. Nut a Democratic senator of the United Slates declared In his favor. Scarcely a handful nt tho Democratic congressmen of the federal congress were <m his side of tho question. And this largest and best and bravest nnd most consistent of modem Democrats fought the bravest battle of modern times along tho clearest principles of Democracy that have been presented to an electorate for thirty years, with a party divided absolutely In half and with hts support dependent as much on the Republicans as tho Democrats of tha Umpire State. So with his successful antagonist. True it is that the Republican pres ident and bis cabinet were in favor of Mr. Hughes. True It Is the senators and congressmen of his own party were on his side. Rut SO per cent of the Lincoln Republicans of New York ranked themselves under the banner of the popular advocate who had been chosen at the Buffalo con vention. Result; Hughes, the Republican, Is elected governor. Chanler, tho Democrat, is elected lieutenant governor. The entire Democratic ticket outside of governor goes Into office.' Take the case of William Jennings Bryan. He comes home from Europe In the thrilling triumph of n great commoner—the idol and leader of his party. Every state of the republic pnlses its welcomo to the wanderer from a foreign shore and the great man is received tn Madison Square by Democrats, from Nebraska, New England, and New York, from Nevada, from California and from Connecticut, from Carolina and from Maine. And yet when he pronounces his views upon public questions nearly every lead ing Democrat of tho couatry rushes Into opposing type against him. The leaders of the Democratic minority In congress rush to the other side. Two- thirds of the men of bis party who have ruled Its affairs for a dozen years are at this time crusading against his central doctrine. Bryan, of Nebraska, has broached sentiments which seem to be in opposition to al most tour-fifths of the leading voices who have made the policies and the platforms of his party for a quarter of a century. Where, tbon, stands our Democracy in the midst of these differences and contentions? What are the things In which we consistently and coher ently believe? What are the things which we support, and where stands the majority of a ouce groat party In tho midst of t be queetlona which divide us so widely and split us so hopeloasly as these issues of today? Cau any man escape tfie couvlctlon that the Democratic imrty Is wider split today In Its varying factious than the division which sundere the party of Jefferson and the party of Hamilton?' We are united only In tradition and absolutely divided In conviction and In economic policies. There has grown up In the republic a great mass of corporate Democrats Wealth and vested Interests and Individual Investments have Influenced their feeling and tbelr convictions until they are today no longer houeat and un broken advocates of the party of Jefferson and Jackson. They are loath be yond expression to leave the party of their fathers—the organisation for which tbelr ancestors fought on many a political field, and won and lost in many a battle of conviction. They are simply bugging the shallow from which the substance Is gone. These men In the high and imperial domina tion of the pocket book have step by step drifted Into sympathy and af filiation with tho moneyed Interests of the country. They stand, whether they know It or not. among the privileged few. They are, whether they confess It or not. members of the party of the privileged rich. Their Inter ests depend upou special privileges to the few rather than upon equal rights to all; and hanging by the mere hopeless thread of history and tradition they are wternaL'y and seemingly loyal to a party to which they are In fact traitors In e<«ry hcuost conviction and In every political pulse of their business and professional lives. Upon the other hand, there arc thousands of Republtcana who have fol low,.,] In ilu- wake of the war upon the fortunes of tho Republican party. Upon tho bosom of sectionalism and of military strife they have held f«st to the party that freed the Slav s and saved the government. Twenty-seven years have held them fast to this old party, which simply prospered upon sectionalism and strife. Hut these men who -were born of the faith and of j: the creeds of Abraham Lincoln, are at heart believers In that new and defi- • • nite policy which looks to the Interests of the great mass of the peopto : ratlier than to the prosiierity of the few. Lincoln Republicans almost to i man today are Democrats In ereed and In principle. Here, then, wo hav, the absolute anomaly of two great parties bolding In their ranks upon the mere basis of sentiment and tradition, loyal meu who are apostates and traitors to the creeds which they profess. - They do not believe the things their fathers believed, and are not loyal to the party for which their fa- there fought. _ How shall we separate them from that body and set them straight in the lines of their true convictions? We cannot prosper aa a party under the handicap which the convictions and Interests of theme sincere but in consistent men entail upon the platforms and policies of our party. We cannot, as a party, be half fish and half fowl, a trimming, straddling organ ization, splitting our legs tn twain in the effort to cover the Impossible range of interest and creed covered by the unaaslmllable elements of the party. Can Belmont and Bryan ever,really agreo upon a platform? Can Hearst and Ryan fight cheerfully under the same banner? Year by year we are throttled as Democrats In the virile life and utterances of a party of the people, by the restraining power and Influence of • these corporation Dem ocrats who still cling to the name of our party. That waa tho meaning of the Parker tiaaco ot 1901. Tho Idea ot hoping to lead a people's party under a trust favorite to victory! It cannot be done, and every po- lltlcal straddle, every spurious makeshift of the tlext two decades will be rejected by oar honest peoplo at the polls. We need not go throdgh the form of an election unless we can g<J be fore the people upon a straight, clean platform of definite and clear-cut Democracy—a Democracy without the alloy of syndicates or the smell of tho trusts. Once more we say without hesitation that the honest thing for these selfish corporation Democrats to do Is to go right along with the Repub lican party to which they belong. We want them to go.' We need their room more than their company, wo can never win while wo share power with these men. We can win without them. Let the Ryans and the Bel monts and the McCarrens go right along. And when they are gone, we' will make room on the benches for a great host of Lincoln Republicans who will pack the benches, and with a better and more genuine Democracy than we have known in twenty years, we will go befot-e the country Iu a straight and simple platform and sweep the ballot boxes from Penobscot to Pensacola.

By the time of the death of .Charles It, saya John Klske, It was reckoned that four-fifths ot the adult males In Massachusetts were disfranchised be cause of Inability to participate In the Lord's Supper. It a Pharisee of the time when Pharl. salsm was In the bloom of Its blgotrj and. unreason could have been set down In the Boston of the year A. D. 1660 he would probably have felt the the ocracy of old Jerusalem was a tame affair in comparison with that of the New England town. The Wlnthrops. Cottons nnd Daven ports had everything their own way. and those who were not willing to bow down to them ns the representatives ot God on earth had no political rights or social standing. Many of the disfranchised, tired of being nobodles. struck out through the wilderness and founded other states. Some went to Rhode Island, others to Connecticut and elsewhere, but others still remained at home, bldhig their time, waiting for the opportunity when they might be ablo to win, upon the ■oil of tho old commonwealth, the rights which belonged to them. Some- tvhore around the year 1660 a com promise was reached between the "Ins" and tho "Outs," by which the latter, or such of them ns had been baptized and that led "upright and decorous lives,” were admitted to the church and to full political rights, though not to a first, class religious mending. Such was tho so-called "Halfway Covenant," one of the most Illogical and Inconsistent conventions ever drawn up. As might havo been expected, tho 'Halfwny Covenant'- led to tho bitterest controversy between, the ministers and congregations, some taking one side and some the other. It was about the year 1669, nnd the First Church of Boston was looking for a minister. Tho members let it be understood that they wero solidly opposed to the “Halway Covenant," and as a mark of tho stalwart charac ter of their religion called to the pas torate nt the church the Rev. John Da venport. of New Haven, a "theocrat of extreme type.” The calling of Mr. Davenport was the beginning of organized liberalism in Massachusetts. The advocates of tho "Halfway Covenant" seceded from the First church anil formed themselves intot a society which they called the “Third Church In Boston." Their meet. lug houae became knotvn aa the "South Church." from the part of the city In which It wns located. Later on an other church in the neighborhood took the name of the "Now South," where upon the church of the seceders began to be culled the "old South." In 1729, upon the site ot the old meeting house erected In 1669, was lea red tho present celebrated struc ture, "a building,” as Klske well re marks," with a grander history than any other on the American continent, unless It bo that other plain brick building In Philadelphia where the Declaration of Independence was adopted and tho Federal constitution framed." The Hon. Ronald C. Lindsay, of the British embassy, acted as best man for Arthur Grant-Duff, British minister to Cuba, at his marriage to Miss Kath leen Clayton yesterday afternoon In the Belgian legation. Miss Grace Thomp son, of Bt. Louis, acted ns the bride’s maid of honor and'only attendant. Rivalry of the women of the "850" In the wearing of gorgeous evening wraps has gone so far that inch new "creation" seems tn literally outshine all former triumphs of the dressmak ers. Mrs. aeorge Gould scorns for the mo ment to hold the prise. She appeared the other evening wearing a wrap of finest white cloth, hung In curious ar tistically draped folds, somefvhnt Gre cian In effect. The enormous sleeves were of clilffun, cut nil In one piece, but cleverly manipulated to-produce the semblance of a trio of puffs. The yoke was of duchesse luce, which also formed an underfneing down In the sj.l. .
