Sam D. Jones and J. Wilie Pope.
Tho retirement of tho present head
of Ihe Chamber of Commerce from
bit-position of honor and responsibil
ity under pressure of accnmmulating
business cares, Is a matter of regret
to many people In Atlanta.
Few men have Impressed them
selves more happily and wholesomely
upon this community than has Sam D.
Jones. He Is essentially one of the
strong men of this era of Atlanta's
life. His temper Is large, his mind Is
wholesome, his spirit kindly and bis
head clear to the comprehension of
every business and moral question
that the times present. In his con
nection with the Chsmber of Com
merce and with Atlanta's business life
both tn an Individual and executive
capacity, he has distinctly won not
only the admiration, but the absolute
confidence of the people about him.
and ho carries away from Ills all too
brief executive connection with Atlan
ta's great organisation, such a reputa
tion as any man might be proud to
win for himself and to hand down to
his children.
From this time forth until the end
of bis strenuous chapter, Bam D.
Jones Is a marked and honored fig
ure In the history of Atlanta.
J. Wile Pope, the new president of
the Chamber of Commerce, typos lu an
unusual degree the spirit of the New
Atlanta. An Atlanta man, native to
the soil, Imbued with tho traditions
and triumphant over the conditions of
the laBt two decades In Atlanta, he
la a fitting representative of that
younger cHtxenry which has won Its
spurs In politics and trade and has
established leadership In the actual
achievements wblch It has recorded
before the suu has reached meridian
lu tbeir lives. ,•
Mr. Pope fronts now a brilliant op
portunity to express In executive ca
pacity. lu tact, In initiative, and In
vigorous common sense the qualities
which have already won him wide
recognition, and which In this new-
and larger body are likely to win him
advancing popularity and Increasing
fame.
To the retiring president of the
Chamber of Commerce, wo regretfully
say Au Revolr. and to the new presi
dent of Atlanta's great business body
we cordially apeak the AU Hail which
carries both welcome and prophecy.
The Mayor's Veto of Franchises
In the absence of the reasons
which may have Influenced the mayor
)
In his veto of the Intcmrban trolley
franchise The Georgian Is not prepar
ed to comment aa freely aud assured
ly as it otherwise- would do.
Crediting the mayor with only the
highest motives of public policy In
bis obstructive message, we yet are
Inclined to believe that he has made
a mistake lu thwarting the progress
of these large enterprises which meau
so much to the prosperity and devel
opment of the city of which he has
been chosen the executive head.
There can be no doubt but that
much of Atlanta's growth and no little
of Its commercial prosperity will de-
liend upon these greatly Increased
facilities between this metropolis and
the smaller cities along the lines
touched by these luterurban trolleys.
That proposition is so clear and pat
ent that It scarcely needs to be elab
orated'
Why the mayor should Intervene
In these matters of a right-of-way
where the proper committees of the
city council ’have given careful and
frequent consideration, and have con
cluded to grant Ihe franchise, we can-
mil understand. , People who live In
a city cannot expect to have unim
peded streets In front of them, and
there are few thoroughfares upon
which sooner or later these trolley
lines will not run.
Wo cannot believe tbat any corpo
rate influences could have had any
possible affect upon the action of the
mayor In this matter, and we do not
see any other deterring force beyond
the protest of the property owners
along the right-of-way.
This we cannot recognize as a legit
imate obstruction In the way of prog
ress, and If this Is the basis of the
mayor's veto, we sincerely trust that
the city council at the next meeting
will muster in sufllclent force to over
ride the Interdlxlt of the mayor.
WHY THE TRAINS ARE DELAYED.
The railroad situation la receiving Its full measure of publicity at this
time.
The delay In schedules has been a nuisance of an accumulative kind.
It'bai been growing-in thls-country for the last five, years with ever-in
creasing force aqd. Inconvenience until It has now become universal, and
the endurance of the peopls having been exhausted, they have risen In
a protest which la being heard from one end of the republic to the other.
In point of fact the railroads are perhaps no-more culpable now than
they have been for the last five years, and the same causes which are
producing these broken and disorderly and unreliable schedules are the
causes set In motion some years ago.
Four years ago In the western and middle states, where this condi
tion first became evident, It was a fact that scarcely a train between
Pittsburg and Chicago and In all that region of the middle west wna
ever approximately on time. In most of these Instances the causes were
given In worn out engines, disordered cars and overwhelming
pressure of freight. The rallroada had so much business oh
their hands that they had actually not been able, to send
their engines and cars to the repair shops as they bad been accus
tomed to do ’at stated Intervals for the last twenty years. Every car and
every engine has been taxed to Its last limit of capacity, and If thla re
sulted in broken engines and broken cars and twisted axles, and In whee
zy and insufficient valves, the public had suffered, but the vast and over
whelming volume of freight bad moved on as best It could.
As the years have gone on, the railroads out of the very flood of their
own prosperity have had . the grace to order other engines and other cars
even If they could not stop to repair those already overtaxed. Hut even
this accession to the equipment of the ‘ transporatlon lines has not
availed to carry the enormous Increase in tho yearly volume of freights
which are handed to them out of the overflowing prosperity ot-the country.
The fact of the business Is that the cause of the most of .these delay
ed trains Is fust the same today as Is was five years ago. The chief
cause Is In the rolling nnd mountainous volume of freight that is given to
these lines beyond their capacity to carry. The second reason Is found
In the depleted equipment which does not have time to take for repairs
from Its busy whirl of carrying trade.
And so, while we are lu full and hearty accord with the clamor for
better schedules, and while we join with all our contemporaries In urg
ing the concentration of energy and effort.on the part of railroad officials
to rectify the serious evils that are Interfering with commerce and con
venience, we cannot fall to realize az well the explanation which the rail
roads would doubtless offer if they should speak.
This Is only another Illustration of the fact that the whole country
Is positively groaning tindor the volume, and weight, and overlapping
tides of Its own prosperity. The Atlanta exposition of 1910 died be
cause the country was too prosperous to want it or to give It attention.
Manufacturers and merchants will almost declare that they cannot fill
any more orders than they are now receiving, and the throb of the air In
business. In manufactories and In transportation la toward expansion
and the Increase of facilities to create products to mcot the demand of an
age almost riotously rich and almost ruinously prosiierous all over the
world. '
It may bo a paradox to say It, but half the Inconveniences we are
suffering In this tremendous day aro born of the prosperity for which we
havo clamored so lqng and which wc are now hugging so happily to
our full and throbbing bosoms of trade.
The railroads hold responsibilities so vast that we expect tof them ex
traordinary efforts to meet the necessities and conveniences of a people
that have been compelled to lean upon them tor these things for so
many years.
And wc sincerely trust that with the earnest prodding which the
press, the .people and commerce are all giving to the railroad officials,
that they will vindicate their claim to commercial confidence and the re
public In this period of need.
Let us have double tracks and a double equipment of engtues and cars.
THE LAW’S EXPEDITION.
Having pleaded so often for prompt action In the trial of criminal
cases, it now becomes a pleasure to commend with all heartiness the
calling by Judge Roan of an Immediate term of the criminal division of
Ihe superior court to try the negro Glsnn, charged with rape.
Judge lloan is always sincere and conscientious, and his prompt ac-
tlou In thla matter la an Index to tho sincerity of his appreciation of
the very serious times In which we are living.
The law’s delay Is too often the law’s undoing, and tho law’s swift
. effectiveness, lu tho face of these monstrous violations, will do more to
reestablish the reign of hiw and the reverence for courts than any
series of platitudes or resolutions.
Tho negro Glenn should lie given a fair trial under regular forms.
If he Is pronounced guilty, he should puy the extreme iienalty of the
law Just as toon as the forms of the law- will permit him to hang by the
neck until be Is dead.
Hut tho example set by Judge Roan Is one which should meet the
emulation of every Southern court.
DON’T BREAK A BUTTERFLY ON A WHEEL.
We would suggest to our esteemed contemporary of The Constitu
tion that it Is devoting more time and space to The New York Evening
Host than the Importance of that paper demands.
The columns of sectional stuff which The Post Is emptying upou the
Race Question does not have a very wide circulation even In tho city lu
which The Post Is published, and a very attenuated atreum of readers in
the section of country round about.
More than that,-The Post has been known for years as a Pecksniff,
and Is not ranked among Ihe virile nnd vital papers of the times In
which wo live.
At the time of the Atlanta riots no paiwr In the North was more
unreasonable and persistent In Ita defamation of Atlanta aud the South
than The Post. An Instance of the unethical and almost disreputable
tactics of The Post was Illustrated in Its treatment of the editor of The
Georgian. It credited to the editor of The Georgian uttorances tbot had
l>ecn wade In another paper, and credited also to The Georgian utter
ances upon this Race Question which had never been made In these col
umns at all nr by the editor of thla paper at any time. A Mile note to
the editor of The Post explaining these facts and requesting the Justice
of a correction was met- by tho astonishing answer that ex-Congressman
Fleming, of Georgia, had repeated substantially the same charge against
the editor ot The Georgian and that for thla astonishing reason The Poa’t
could not correct It.
In point of fact, Mr. Ftemlug had never made any such charge as
The Post repeated agalust The Georgian, although ho did go out of his
way In a most unnecessary manner to credit to The Georgian a state
ment which It had never made.
The Post is essentially a Negro Lover. It is Joined to Its Ideals be
yond the |lower of seiiaratlon and for oqr own part we are heartily In fa
vor of letting It alone. In any question In which the negro Is concerned
The Poet has neither eyes to see nor to balance wbat It sees. It rushes
Instantly to the negro side of-the question whether the other side lie held
by a Southern editor or by the president ot the I’nlted States.
The Poal toward the negro recalls very much the story of Sam Jones
as told nlxrat himself some years ago. The great evangelist had been
preaching a powerful sermon to the negroes, and among the hundreds
who waited to Bhakc hands with him was one old "mammy" with a red
handkerchief and a lullaby bosom who walled at the gate after the
-others had passed out ami who grabbed him as he started home with
the statement:
"Mnrse Jones, I Just wants to breas yon for dat sermon. You surely
Is do nigger preacher. Folks may say yon lias a white-face, hut I knows
you has got a Mack heart."
And so with The New York Post. "It surely Is the nigger impor. Folks
may say it has a white face," hut we are quite sure it "has a black heart."

Its service, and It Is alto charged that
the trust has forced 16 Independent re
finers, now doing business in Pennsyl
vania and Ohio and procuring their,
crude oil through the Standard Oil
Company’s pipe lines, to sell nil of their
exmrt oil to the Stapdurd, thereby
eliminating their competition.
This contract was procured through
threats, It Is said.
It Is charged that tha trust, through
Its Influence and by reason of its large
tonnage, sells substantially all of the
lubricating oils to the railroads of the
United States, that the prices are from
CO to 10O per cent more than the prices
which other manufacturers are witling
to sell-the same'and that these exces
sive prices ore willingly paid by the
railroads In order that they may get
trust business, and that this Is the
payment of rebates.
Driven Out of Business.
The bill points out many Instances
where the trust has driven Independent
dealers, refineries anil. Jobbers out of
business, it explains the operation of
bogus Independent companies; the sys
tem of secret rebates and reductions,
and division of territory.
It chin ges that the system of Illegal
favors lias been brought about through
ownership and Influence of the indi
vidual defendants anil others Identified
with their interests.
The total value of nil property con
trolled by the Standard of New Jersey
except such as may have been pur
chased, Is 669,020,798, according to Its
own valuation. It Is declared that upon
this capital the Standard, from 1882 to
1895, Inclusive, paid 6H2.940.084 of div
idends and has created a large surplus.
It Is alleged that the property at the
present time exceeds the value of 6200,-
000,000. Its annual dividends during
the last nine years have run from 66 to
48 per rent In addition to the surplus.

IN REAL ESTATE
DEALS ARE DEFINED
In a decision bunded down Thursday
■by the supreme court In the case of
Uowdery vs. Greenlee Important points
are ilsterinlned regarding obligations
Involved In contracts for real estate.
The case Is a local one. Mrs. Minnie
D. Cowdery sold to Mrs. M. H. Green
lee a house and lot In Atlanta. The
purchase prlke was fixed ut 64.200. The
purchaser was to assume an Indebted
ness of 62,600 on tho property and pay
the balance of 61,700 In cash when
satisfactory titles were made. The
right to decline to perform the contract
was reserved If titles were not satis
factory.
Borne objection was raised by the
purchaser and she declined to comply
with the agreement. Mrs. Cowdery
then gave notice that she would resell
the propery amt hold Mrs. Greenlee lia
ble for the difference In price and costs
Involved. The property was sold for
64,000 nnd Mrs. Cowdery sued .Mrs.
Greenlee for 6600.
On trial the case was non-suited,
and It enme to tho supreme court,
which holds thnt the non-suit
ror. The head note reads;
"After a prospective purchaser of
land under an executory contract of
sale bus pointed out his objections to
the title and has declined tn perform,
for specific reasons assigned, he can
not in defense to a suit for damages for
a breach of contract, urge additional
objectlona to the title which the owner
was given no opportunity to meet, and
which were known to siich purchaser
at the time the specHlc objections were
made.
“Under u stipulation that the pur
chase will be made unless the vendor's
title be ‘legally Insufficient’ and be shall
fall to perfect the same within a rea
sonable time, it Is not tha right of the
purchaser to demand a perfect record
title or to refuse to pay the purchase
money simply because one of the inlnu-
ments of title Is a deed which Is not
attested In such a manner mi to entitle
It to record, there being no pretense
on Ills part that a failure tn Imve It
duly registered In uny way affected the
validity of the vendor’s title.
"The refusal of the purchaser to i*r-
fnrin will not give to the owner the
right to resell the land at the risk ot
Washington. Nov. 15.—The statement
Issued by the attorney general this
morning regarding the .Standard Oil
case Is os follows;
“In June last, by direction of the

son were appointed by me special as
sistant attorneys general to act with
H»e assistant to tho attorney general
purely to make q'n Investigation of the
Standard Gil Company of New Jersey,
and Its business of refining, transport

“That the Standard of Nqw Jersey,

Rockefeller, Henry H. Rogers, Henry
M. Flagier, J. D. Archbold. Oliver H.

"That tho design throughout ot the
persons having control of the enterprise
has been to suppress competition in
the production, transportation and sale
of refined oil and to obtain, as far as
possible, a monopoly therein; that be
tween 1870 nnd 1882 the design was ef
fected through agreement made be
