Sam D. Jones and J. Wilie Pope.
The retirement of the present head
of the Chamber of Commerce from
his position of honor and resitonslbll-
Ity tinder pressure of accummulatlng
business cares. Is a matter of regret
to many people In Atlanta.
Tew men have Impressed them
selves more happily and wholesomely
upon this community than has Sam O.
Jones. He Is essentially nue of the
strong men of this era of Atlanta's
life. His temper Is large, his mind la
wholesome, his spirit kindly and his
head clear to the comprehension of
orory business and mural question
that the times present. In his con
nection with the Chamber of Com
merce and with Atlanta’s business life
both In an Individual and executive
rapacity, he has distinctly won not
only tho admiration, but the absolute
confidence of the people about him.
and ho carries away front his all too
brlof executive connection with Allan,
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 tho end
of his strenuous chapter. Bam D.
Jones Is a marked and honored fig
ure In the history of Atlanta.
J. Wllle Pope, tho now president, of
the Chamber of Commerce, types In an
unusual degree the spirit of the New
Atlanta. An Atlanta man, native to
tho soil. Imbued with the traditions
and triumphant over the conditions of
tho last two deendes In Atlanta, he
la a fitting representative of that
younger clttxenry which has won Its
' spurs In iKdlllcs aud trade and has
established leadership In the actual
achievements which It has recorded
before the sun has reached meridian
lu (heir lives.
Mr. Pope fronts now a brilliant op
portunity to express In executive ca
pacity, In tact. In Initiative, and In
vigorous common sense tho qualities
which havo already won him wide
recognition, and which lu this new
and larger body are likely to win him
advancing popularity and increasing
fame.
To the retiring president of tho
Chamber of Commerce, we regretfully
aay Au Rcvolr, and to the new presi
dent of Atlanta's great business body
we cordially speak the All Hall which
carries both welcome and prophecy.
The Mayor’* Veto of Franchises.
In the absence of the reasons
which may have Influenced the mayor
In his veto of the Interurban trolley
franchise The Georgian Is not prepar
ed to comment as freely and 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 in thwarting the progress
of these large enterprises which mean
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 do-
I lend upon these greatly Increased
facilities between this metropolis and
the smaller cities along the lines
touched by these Interurban 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-
eluded to grant tho franchise, wo can
not understand. People who live In
u 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.
We cannot believe that any corpo
rate Influences could have bad 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 aa a legit
imate obstruction in the way of prog
ress, and If this la the basis of tbe
maypr's_veto, we sincerely trust that
the city council at the next meeting
will muster In aufllclent force to over
ride the interdlxit of the mayor.
WHY THE .TRAINS ARE DELAYED.
Th'e railroad situation Is receiving Its full measure of publicity at this
time.
The delay lu schedules has been a nuisauce of an accumulative kind.
It has been growing fn this-country for the last five years with ever-in
creasing force and inconvenience until It has now become universal, aud
the, endurance of the people having been exhausted, they have .risen In
a protest which Is being heard from one end of the repnbllc to the other.
In pbint of fact the railroads are perhaps no-more culpable now than
they have been for tbe last five years, and the same causes which are
producing these broken and disorderly and unreliable schedules are tbe
causes set in motion some years ago.
Four years ago in the western and middle states, where this condi
tion first liecame evident. It was a fact that scarcely a train between
Pittsburg and Chicago and In all that region of. the middle west was
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 railroads had so much business on
their hauds 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
eve/y engine has been taxed to Its last limit of capacity, and If this re
sulted In broken engines and broken cars and twisted axles, and In whee
zy and insufflclent valves, the public had suffered, but the vast and over
whelming volume of freight had 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 It they could not stop to repair those already overtaxed. But even
this accession to the equipment or the trsnsporatlon lines has not
availed to carry the enormous Increase In the yearly volume of freights
which are banded to them out of the overflowing prosperity of the country.
The fact of the business Is that the cause of thte most of these delay
ed trains Is Just tho same today as Is was five years ago. The chief
cause Is In the rolling and 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 Us busy whirl of carrying trade.
And so, while we are In 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 sorious evils that are Interfering with commerce and con
venience, we cannot fall to realize as well the explanation which the rail
roads would doubtless offer if they should speak. ’
This (■ only another Illustration of the fact that the whole country
Is positively groaning under tbe 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 Is toward expansion
and the Increase of facilities to creato products to meet the demand of an
age almost riotously rich and almost ruinously prosperous all over the
world.
It may be a paradox to say It, but hnlf the Inconveniences we are
suffering In this tremendous day are horn of tho prosperity for which we
havo clamored so long and which wo are now hugging so happily to
our full and throbbing bosoms of trade.
The railroads hold responsibilities so vast that we expect of them ex
traordinary efforts to meet tho necessities and Conveniences Of a people
that have been compelled to lean upon them .for these things for so
ninny years.
And we 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 coafldence arffl the re
public In this period of need.
Let us hnve double tracks and a double equipment of engines and cars.

THE LAW’S EXPEDITION.
Having pleaded eo 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 tesm of the criminal division of
the saperiov effort to try the negro (ilenn, charged with rape.
Judge Roan is always sinoero and conscientious, and his prompt ac
tion ill IUM •mailer Is an Index to the. sincerity of his appreciation of
the very serious times In which we aro living.
The law’s delay Is too often the law’s undoing, and the law’s swift
effectiveness, In the face of these monstrous violations, will do more to
reestablish the reign of law and tho reverence for courts than any
series or platitudes or resolutions.
The negro Glenn should be given a fair trial under regular forms.
If he Is pronounced guilty, he should |iay the extreme penalty of the
law Just as soon as the forms of the law will permit him to hang by the
neck until he Is dead.
Hut the example set by Judge Roan is one which should meet the
emulation of every Southern court.
Its service, and It In also charged that
the trust has forced IS 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 all of their
export oil to the Standard, thereby
eliminating their competition.
This contract was procured through
threats. It Is said.
It Is charged that the 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
50 to 100 per cent more than the prices
which other manufacturers are wIHlng
to sell the same and that these exces
sive prices are willingly paid by the
railroads In order that -they may get
trust business, and that this Is the
payment of rebates.
Drivsn Out of Business.
The bill points out many Instances
where the trust has driven Independent
dealers, refineries and Jobbers out of
business, it explains the operation of
bogus Independent companies; the sys
tem nr secret rebates and reductions,
and division of territory.
It charges that the system of Illegal
favors has been brought about through
ownership and Influence of the Indi
vidual defendants and others Identified
with their Interests.
The total valse of all property con
trolled by the Standard of New Jersey
except such as may have been pur
chased, Is |6»,020,7*8, according to Its
own valuation. It Is declared that upon
this capital the Standard, from 1883 to
18*5. Inclusive, paid 8812,*40,084 of div
idends and has created a large surplus.
It Is alleged that the property at the
present time exceeds the value of *200,-
000,000. Its annual dividends during
the last nine years have run from 33 to
48 per cent In addition to the surplus.

Washington. Nov. IS.—The statement
Issued by the attorney general this
morning regarding the Stsndard oil
case Is as follows:
"In June last, by direction 6f the
president, Messrs. Kellogg and Morri
son were appointed by me special as
sistant attorneys general to act with
the assistant to the attorney general
purely to make an Investigation of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey,
and Its business of refining, transport
ing, distributing and selling oil through
the United States; to ascertain all the
facta and report whether or not, In
the opinion, there has been a violation
y>f the Sherman anti-trust law by the
cpmpany or the persons or corporations
associated with or nianagfng It. The
counsel -have completed that duty and
tbe report of their Investigation has re-
"That the individual defendants. In
189*, increased the stocks of the Stand
ard of New Jersey from ten million to
one hundred and ten million: that said
company was then a producing and
selling corporation and added to Us
corporate powers, of purchasing stock
In other companies and all of the pow
ers exercised by the trustees under the
unlawful trust agreement of 1882.
Merely the Same Concern.
"That tbe Standard of New Jersey,
then taking the place of the trustees,
acquired all of the stock of the corpor

by the trustees, paying therefor by the
Issue of Its own shares In exchange.
"That the president of the board of

DON’T BREAK A BUTTERFLY ON A WHEEL.
\Vt> would suggest to our esteemed contemporary of The Constitu
tion that It Is devoting more time and spqce to The New York Eveqjng
Post than the importance of that paper demands.
The columns of sectional stuff which The Post I* emptying upon the
Race Question does not have a very wide circulation even In the fclty In
which The Post Is published, and a very attenuated stream or readers In
the sectlou of country round about.
More than that. The Post has been known for years as a Pecksniff,
und Is not ranked among the virile and vital itapers of the times lu
which we live.
At the time of the Atlanta riots no paper In the North was more
unreasonable and iierslitont in Us defamation of Atlanta and tbe 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 tbe editor of The Georgian utterances that bad
been made 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 or by the editor of this pairin' at any time. A polite note to
the editor of The Post explaining these facta and requesting tbe Justice
of a correction was met by the astonishing answer that ex-Congresaman
Fleming, of Georgia, had reiiested substantially the same charge against
the editor of The (Georgian and that for this astonishing reason The Post
could not correct it.
In ixiint of fact. Mr. Fleming had never made any such .charge as
The Post repented against The Georgian, although he did go out of his
way in a most unnecessary manner to credit to The Georgian a state
ment which It Imd never made.
The Post is essentially a Negro Lover. It is Joined to its ideals be
yond the iiower of separation and for our own |»art we are heartily In fa
vor of letting it nlone. In any question In which the negro Is concerned
Tlte Post lias neither eyes to Bee nor to balance what it sees' It rushes
Instantly to the negro side of the question whether tbe other aide lie held
by u Southern editor or by the president of the United States.
The Post toward the negro recalls very much the story of Sam Jones
us told about himself some years ago. The great evangelist had been
preachlug a powerful sermon to tbe.negroes, and among the hundreds
who waited to shake hands with him was one old "mammy” with a red
handkerchief and u lullaby bosom who watted at the gate after the
others had iwssed out ami who grabbed him aa he started home w4th
the statement:
"Morse .lours. I Just wants to bress you for dat sermon. You surely
is dr nigger preacher. Folks nmy say you has a white face, but t knows
yon has got a black heart."
And so with The New York INiat. "It surely is the nigger i*a|s-r. Folks
may soy It bus a white lace,” but we are quite sure U "bas a black heart."
In a decision handed down Thursday
by the supremfe court In the case of
Cowdery vs. Greenlee Important points
are determined regarding obligations
Involved In contracts for, real estate.
The case Is a local one. Mrs. Minnie
D. Cowdery eold to Mrs. M. If. Green
lee a house and lot In Atlanta. The
purchase price was fixed at 84,209. The
purchaser was to assume an Indebted
ness of 82,800 on the property and pay
the balance of 81.700 In cash wheji
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
hen gave notice that she would resell
the propery and hold Mrs. Greenlee lia
ble for tho difference In 'price and costs
Involved. The property was sold for
84,000 and Mrs. Cowdery’ sued Mrs.
Greenlee for 8600.
On trial tbe case was non-suited,
and It mine to the’ supreme court,
which holds that the non-suit was er
ror. The head note reads:
"After a prospective purchaser of
land under an executory contract of
sale has pointed out his objections to
the title and has declined to perform,
for specific reasons assigned, he can
not In defense to a suit for damages for
a breach of contract, urge additional
objections to the title which the owner
was given no opportunity to meet, and
which were known to such purchaser
at the time the specific objections were
made.
"Under a stipulation that the pur
chase will be mode unless the vendor's
title be ‘legally Insufficient' ami he shall
fall to perfect the same within a rea
sonable time, Il Is not the right of the
purchaser to demand a perfect record
title or to refuse to pay the purchase
money simply because one of the mlnu-
ments of title Is a deed which is not
attested In such q manner as to entitle
It to record, there being no pretense
on his part that a failure to have It
duly registered I., any way affected the
validity of the vendor’s title.
"The refusal of tlte purchaser tq per
form will not give to the owner the
right to resell the land at the risk of
the former and hold him liable for u
and his cabinet.
"Tbe Information available to the de
partment tends to show: That the va
rinus corporations nnd limited partner
ships under the control In the manner
hereinafter stated of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey-, transport
and sail about *0 per rent of the re
fined oil produced, transported and eold
In the United States for domestic uso
and about the same proportion of re
fined oil exported from the United
States.
Plan to Kill Competition.
"That this share of the business has
been procured by a course of action,
which, beginning In 1870, has continued
under the direction of the same per
sons In the main, down to the present
time; that these’ persons now surviv
ing are John D. Rockefeller, William
Rockefeller, Henry H. Rogers, Henry
M. Flagler, J. D. Archbold, Oliver H.
Payne and C. M. Pratt.
“That the design throughout of the
persons having control of the enterprise
has been, to supprees competition In
the production, transportation arid sale
of refined oil and to obtain, as far as
possible, a monopoly therein; that be
tween 1870 and 1882 tbe design was ef
fected through agreement mode be
tween many persona and corporations
engaged In the business: that In 1882
tho result aimed at was made more
certain by vesting In nine trustees (In
cluding five of the above named per
sons) sufficient stock In the 3# cor
porations concerned to enable the trus
tees to control their operations In such
a way that competition between them
was suppressed.
Declared Unlawful in Ohio.
"That this plan was acted upun until
ft was declared unlawful by the su
preme court of-Ohio in action against
the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, one
oWthe said corporations. In 18*2; that
during the seven years following, the

"That-the purposes and effect of the
use of the New Jersey Company as a

During the melee,- young Snodgrass,
with handcuffs on his wrists, made an
effort. It Is said, to leap from the the-
ater-balcony Into Marietta street, but
was prevented from doing so by quick
action on the part of Officer Gallaher.
When the curtain was rung down on
the first act of the show, Snodgrass

The officers found It necessary to

him, however, and seized him before
he could leap.
On arraignment before Recorder

was lined $25.75.
After tho flue was Imposed the young
man begged the recorder to send him
to the stockude to serve out the fine

States, in an interview at the New
Willard.

many of my Democratic friends be

most unanimously that they would
vote for Mr. Hughes. Mr. Hearst rep-
resented a discontent with certain
evil* of our time, which must be
remedied by the.party in power."
