OUR PLATFORM.-The Georgian stands for Atlautn'a owning Its own gas and electric light plants, aa It now owns Its waterworks. Other cities do this and get gas as low as CO cents, with a profit to tho city. This should be done at once. The Georgian be* as they are, there la no good reason why they cannot be to operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and It may be some years before we are ready for so big an un dertaking. Still Atlanta should set Its face In that direction NOW. Groker Butts In. That eminent expatriate and ex- patriot, the Hon. Richard Croker, haa felt called upon to dlacuaa the defeat of Mr. Hen ret In the recent New York election. "God Almighty caused It," he saye. "His defeat la a judgment of heav en," he adds. The Squire of Wantage la butting into things that don't concern him. Since he went Into nxllo, America, the city of New York and even Tammany Hall have managed to worry along somehow, and it may be aald that all are a little bit better off for hla ab sence. The Squire of Wnntago had- better keep quiet. But when, in the name of all that la holy, did Dick Croker become.the mouthpiece of Hlgb Heaven? His view la bound to have considera ble weight. And, of course, there la the tariff. Somebody tells the story of the fu neral of an estimable gentleman In a country town. Tne ritual had been brief, and the minister had called upon several of the prominent men present to pay a word or two of respect to the departed. Four or five ‘ spoke, and then there was a pause. It was broken by “Ell Stubbs, who began: "Well, If] nobody else baa anything to say 1 would like to make a few points about tho tariff.” That la the way with congress, and a word or two on the tariff will doubt less be spoken.' One of the measures that may be put through Is the ship subsidy bill, which got past the senate last spring and Is now before the house commit tee on merchant marine and fisheries. Representative Orosvenor, who cently failed of renomination and who fa therefore serving bis last session In congress for a time, says he Is going to exert every effort to get this legis lation enacted. Not unnaturally, the Democrats are opposed to this meas ure, which Is looked upon as another Republican steal In the shape of pro tection for an Infant Industry which Is really not quite as weak or infantile as those drawing dividends from It would have the people believe. Speak er Cannon Is believed to be little In sympathy with the proposed legisla tion, it not actually hostile to It. Two minor measures which, how ever, are of general Interest, are Sen ator J-aFollette’s bill limiting the working hours of railway employeea and Senator Foraker's bill to ipake Porto Ricans cltlxens of the United States. Another which will affect the entire country. If It ever becomes effective, Is the election reform measure. As a matter of fact, this Is In the shape of two bills, one providing for public ity In campaign affairs, the other pro hibiting corporation contributions for campaign purposes. Neither bill got anywhere last session, owing to the fact that the Republicans feared the effect they might have In the elections of this fall. It Is hardly expected that either will paas this session. It strikes too heavy a blow at the party In pow- What Faces Congress. Those very sapient newspaper men who chronicle the doings, undoings and not-dotngs of our statesmen at Waahlngton are unanimous In predict ing that the closing session of the Fifty-ninth congress, which assembles In just two weeks, will be as bum- mlngly busy as a hive of bees. This session, which begins Decem ber 3, and expires by law on the 4th of next March, will have all of the “hurried legislation" of the • usual short term and further will be mark ed by the efforts of tho Republican party to put through a bunch of meas ures which the administration holds very dear. The Sixtieth congress will not be quite so strongly Republican In force of numbers, and the party Is go ing to yank time by the forelock while the majority Is to effectively great. Many measures of Import are to be debated and acted on. There Is much "left over" business to be disposed of, and there is no reckoning as to how many Interesting things the president will develop In hts message. Of the Issues that were not settled at the last session, and which are certain to come up, the most Impor tant to the country at large Is the queatlon of further restriction of Ira migration. When congress adjourned last June this matter was left in the hands of a conference. The Dilling ham bill bad been passed by the sen ate. The house, however, passed an Immigration bill, which differed wide ly from that ot the senate. Then the matter went to conference, the report being deferred till the coming session because of the general belief that the question was loo Important to be rushed through In the hurly-burly of these doting days. This Immigration question la one that has aroused federated labor in America. The union leaders demand more rigorous restriction cf the In flux of foreigners. As the means to the end, they favor an Increase In the head tax and the Imposition of an educational qualification in order fur ther to restrict immigration. On the other hand those members of con gress, who feel the Increasing serious ness of the question of securing labor that Is confronting all classes in America from farmer to capitalist, are Inclined to oppose any further restric tion. A compromise will doubtless result There are two significant facts to be considered, however. First, the elections are over and the politics tangent to the question can be Ignored. And then, Oscar S. Straus, who Is to enter the president's cabinet as tec rotary of commerce and labor, has expressed himself as regarding an ed ucational qualification as ill-advised. er. Like Tennyson's Brook, the Reed Smoot case runs on forever, and may be expected to consume a good deal of the time of the statesmen this win ter. Taken altogether, the measures im pending seem to promise an unusually busy session. “Salome" on the Stage. The other night there was produced In New York "Salome,” a little read and less acted play by that brilliant effete of literature, Oscar Wilde. A Miss Mercedes Leigh had the temerity to play Salome, and the Progressive Stage Society stood sponsor for the production, which has been proscribed by the British censor, hut which Is quite popular on the continent, where Its offensiveness to religion and mor als does not count. As to the merits or demerits of the play. It Is not our purpose to speak, aside from paying it inevitable praise for Its marvelous Oriental Imagery. But, according to The New York 8un's report of the first night of the play, there came from the audience the most Incisive and most sane criti cism possible. The scene was that where the Te- trsrch, Herod, was trying to Induce Salome to dance before him. She de clined. He offered her wine. She re plied she was not thirsty. He offered her fruit. She said she was nat hun gry. Then came tho small clear voice from the pit, "Try her on a cigarette." And the laughter almost broke up the show. Tho owner of that voice deserves lo be apotheosized by the Association of Dramatic Critics. For ridicule Is the only disinfectant agalftt such <)e- generate literary and dramatic stuff as “Salome." The hlgh-brows take It a little too seriously, and those puritanical ones who atom against It only serve to attract attention to It. not as highly trained as they should be. Andrew D. White, Yale '53, who rep resented the United States as ambas sador In Germany for many years, started the movement. On returning to New Haven to celebrate his fiftieth anniversary he criticised the diplomat ic service of this country and express ed the hope that the time would come when the United States would train Its diplomats so that It would hesitate as much to send an unlettered, un trained man to represent the govern ment at some foreign post as It would to send a butcher to represent Ameri can surgery at an International gath ering of physicians. Saturday Night Club. Among the Institutions of Atlanta that are quietly working on, none is more Interesting or deserving of cor dial sympathy and support than the Saturday Night Club. It Is a literary and debating club, which has been steadily performing Its function for fifteen years. There Is nothing of the sophomoric or the pose about It. The members have been meeting and discussing themes In thoughtful, earnest and Intelligent manner, seeking common Improve ment. In it have been trained some of Atlanta's brainiest and most force ful speakers. Right now the club needs more members. Those wtlo are at the head of tt believe that the addition of new blood will have the effect of Increas ing its work for good, and they Invite serious young men of Atlanta to Join them. The club meets at the Carnegie Library every Saturday night. HEALY TO RESIGN! AUDITOR WILL GO TO NEWPOSITION Prominent Railroad and Club Man to Leave for Cincinnati. Marie Gets Wise. "Be aware, be very much aware, and wary!” Marie Corelli Is tipping off Great Britain to be on guard against Amer ica. , "The Idea," she says In her pronun- ciamento, "that America loves the dear old country Is a sentimental fal lacy. Her affection Is merely that of the wolf *ln the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood.' Her friendly smile shows teeth that are all the better to eat you up with, my dear. As a mat ter of fact America envies Great Brlt- lan with the envy of a half grown, half educated daughter Jealous of her beautiful, ever young and ever admir ed mothor. There Is no love In the case. It Is a matter o( sharp, often un scrupulous, business." Yes, Marie, America ia envious and Jealous of dear old England, but sole ly, Marie, because dear old England has you as her most precious Jewel. Come to us, Marie, and Great Brit ain may reat In peace. FROM A LIFE-LONG ANTI-8ALOONIST.

W. M. SCOTT. VANDERBILT SUITS SETTLED OUT OF COURT A School for Diplomacy. Yale and Qulumbla Universities have decided to combine their re sources of curriculum and form the first school for diplomats. The ex perlment will be begun In the fall. * According to those who have com piled the curriculum of the course, the system is designed to prepare stu dents for work In foreign countries, either In the service of the United States government. In business enter prises or as missionaries or scientific Investigators. The completion of the courses offered, which will normally occupy three years In the case of can didates for the consular service and two years for those getting ready to go Into special fields, will entitle the students to a certificate signed by the presidents of Yale and Columbia. It Is not to be assumed that Pres idents Hadley and Butler think they wlll thereby turn out perfect and high ly polished diplomats. They are merely seeking to provide for those contemplating a consular career a course of academic training, some thing that has hitherto been wholly lacking In the universities of the country. The experiment ts the result of the efforts of Yale alumni, who believe that the diplomats sent to foreign countries by the United States are Hpeclnl to The Georgian. Asheville, N. U„ Nov. 19.—The Inst of the cn-.es against George W. Van derbilt, on the docket of the United States circuit court, was disposed of Saturday. The case wan compromised out of court. The plaintiff, R. 8. Clark, entered suit against Mr. Vanderbilt for dam ages In the sunt of 115,000, alleging that In 1898, he had been crippled by vicious horse, the property of the de fendant. Thin case, and three other damage suits brought by the heirs of two men who were drowned In the French Broad river while croeslng In a flatbnat belonging to Mr. Vanderbilt, and al leged to have been unsafe, and that of a man whose arm was tom off by a corn shucker on the Btltmore estate, were some time ago removed to the United Staten court, and created much comment at the time. The three were all compromised. The amount of damsges agreed on In the Clark case has not been made public, hut tt Is understood that the other three cases were nil settled for a sum much less than the 8*5,000 de manded. Effective January 1, F. A. Healy, auditor of the West Point route and secretary and treasurer of the Trans portation Club, will sever his connec tion with the Atlanta and West Point to accept the position of secretary and treasurer of the Ohio syndicate of In- terurban traction companies. Mr. Healy will make a trip to Cincinnati In connection with his new duties next week. The syndicate with which Mr. Healy has aesoclated himself controls about 590 miles of the best operated and equipped electric traction line In the country. He will be In full charge of the financing and accounting depart ments. Mr. Healy has been auditor of the Atlanta and West Point since 1899. He has been prominently identified In railroad affairs and associations. He was very active In Atlanta so cially and his absence will be the source of much regret to the society people of this city. He v/as president and organizer of the Piedmont Athletic Club. He Is a prominent Mason and also a member of other well-known fraternal and social organizations. He was the first and only secretary of the Transportation Club, being elected for the fifth consecutive time November 6, last. The success of this organization Is due In a great measure to the efforts of Mr. Healy. JUSTICE EVANSTBLE TO RETURN TO OFFICE Thrown from hi* horse Sunday aft ernoon, Associate Justice Beverly D. Evans, of the supreme court, sustained a broken bone of tbe left wrist and severe tfailses about the body, Sunday afternoon . Justice Evans started for a horseback ride. As he rode from his stable yard Into Third street his mount slipped on the wet asphalt. It came so unexpectedly that the rider could not extricate himself and he was thrown to the pavement with great force. Passera-by ran to his assistance and he was removed to his home, at 330 West Peachtree, where Dr. Hull set the broken firm. Though still suffering from shook and the pain of the broken wrist Justice Evans went to hla office at the capitol Monday morning to re sume the work ot conferring with his associates In deciding cases. FIFTH DISTRICT FARMERS’ UNION HAS ORGANIZED STOP OF WATERWORKS SHUT OFF ORGAN MUSIC; INTERRUPTED ANTHEMS It was foo bad. At. least everybody In the congre gations said *o, though one of the con traltos remarked to the basso that It didn't really make the soprano's sing ing any more ridiculous than usual. But then you know- (he jealousies In the choir— It all happened at 11:15 o'clock Sun day morning—in several of the churches. In a Peachtree church the soprano had Just reached her top note In the anthem and the organ was rumbling out Its rich accompaniment. , "I am a pil—" Then the swelling rumble of the organ ceased suddenly and a noise like a coyote across the plains oozed from the pipes. 'The so prano brgke down. Her expression showed first amazement, then a strong suspicion that the organist had Joined the other faction. She retired behind the curtain. Out on Washington street the lx was reaching away down In his ches notes. "I am falling, falling, fall—" Then the music gave out and he fell clear through. He never got his head above water again. "We will proceed with the rest of the service," was the announcement from the pulpit. And there was no more music. And It all happened because the city shut off the water for a little while to moke some repairs. All the church organs are operated by water motors, with the assistance of an organist, and when the water was turned off—but why explain further? But If Park Woodward-hadn't left the city he wouldn't have let It hap pen. jdaybe he'll be back by next Sunday. I GOSSIP! HYMEN HURRIES A 7 CALL OF YOUNG “CAP" JOYNER Friends of "Cap'' W. R.

WET TRACKS CAUSED PECULIAR COLLISION AND ENGINE CHASE Wet tracks and a slippery slide caused a small-sized collision on the Atlanta and West Point about 7:10 o’clock Monday morning and gave an engineer a lively chase for his engine, but nobody was hurt. - A loose engine was rolling up the track at Park and Peters streets when the engineer discovered a mall and a baggage car with an engine attached backing toward him on the same track. He reversed and jumped for his life. But the slippery tracks played a share In the. game and the engine slid on, crashing Into the car ahead and demolishing the platform. There was a rattle of broken glass and then the loose engine recovered Itself. The re verse was working now and the loco motive etarted backward without . a guiding hand. The engineer had picked himself up by this time and he took In the situa tion as he arose. He had to sprint In llvsly fashion to catch the engine be fore It struck something down the road. But he made it. NOOKS AND CORNERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY By REV. THOMAS B. GREGOnf. • HIHHMIlHIMlHlMMMMHMHHMMMIHtMMHHNMMl ' A PATRIOTIC BORROWER.

Green Debating Society of Piedmont College held their ninth anniversary exercises In Butler hall Friday night. Professor J. H. Ford was the presid ing officer. The welcome address was delivered by Charles Fleshman. Declamation. "Popular Education"— Charles Swindell. Oration. "Labor”—H. B. Blackshear. President's address, "The College Man In Public Life”—J. Hubert Ford. Mi** Slater captivated the audience with her ringing, each number being encored. , Hon. Thomas F. Green, of Athens, delivered the anniversary address. The summer of 1789 found the pa. trlot cause at Its low-water mark. North and South disaster had befallen the Continental forces, and It began to 30k as though the struggle of the colonies for their liberty was ts.be In vain. All but the bravest spirits were about ready to give up, and even the Washingtons, Greenes and Marions looked ahead with heavy hearts -and trembling hopes. But presently the tide began to turn, and the hearts that were heavy hound ed for Joy and the hopes that wavered became strong In the confidence of vic tory. Operating at the time down In East Tennessee and southwestern -North Carolina was one John Sevier, a man whose name should be passing dear to every citizen of this great and glorious nation, for It was Sevier's energy, pa triotism and courage that saved the day and made possible the liberty of his countrymen. When the glooin wan the thickest Sevier was recruiting around Knox ville, trying to raise and equip a force with which he hoped to do something for the cause that’ was so dear to his heart. His funds were low; In fact, were quite exhausted. His private fortune, quite large for the times, he had nlready freely given to the govern ment, nnd now he was going about begging others to give, pleading with them to part with a portion of tf ' substance In order that liberty ml_ not perish from the land. Those who were able to give did so, but the rank nnd file of the people were poor and unable to contribute, and the prospects were gloomy. In his desperation Sevier thought of TRAVELING COUPLE TRAVEL TOGETHER Saturday afternoon Just as Justice Bloodworth was winding up a busy day’s work a young couple entered the court room and announced that they wa'nted to get married. That's part of Justice Bloodworth's business, so he announced ready as soon as the license was produced. The young lady was Miss Matilda Clyde French and the young man Er nest Jackson Chisholm. Later It de veloped that the bride ts the daughter of Dr. Junius B. French, pastor of the Broadway Presbyterian church, of Fort Worth. Texas. The young couple met In Fort Worth. Mr. Chisholm Is a traveling salesman, headquarters In Athens. The young woman stated that she had started out to make her own way In the world, arid had been here about two weeks. The couple met and de cided to get • married. They denied that tt was a runaway affair, but It looked very much like one. William Conrad Winter. Special to The Ueorgtnu. Brunswick. Ga.. Nov. 19.—William Conrad Winter, the 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Winter, died at their home on Union avenue Friday morning of dyphtheria. The funeral occurred Friday afternoon from tbe residence. Rev, F. D. Thomas, officiating. In terment was made at Oak Grove cem- eter. a way In which he might get tho de sired funds. John Adair was tax col lector 6f the district, nnd to John Adair Sevier went In hot haste. To the tax collector Sevier said: "Let ma have what money you have In your possession. I must buy horses and arms for my soldiers. We must win a victory soon or It Is all over with us. Give me the money, and if I live I will pay every dollar of It back, with interest.” Adair answered: "Colonel Ssvler, I have no light to make any such dis position of this money. It belongs to the Impoverished treasury of North Carolina. But If the country Is over run by the British, liberty Is gone. Let the money go, too. Take It. If by Its use the enemy Is driven from the coun try I can trust the country to justify and vindicate my conduct. Take It.” Sevier took It, nnd the result was King’s Mountain—the battle that led to the retreat of Lord Cornwallis, that led to the surrender at Yorktown and the establishment ot the Independence of the'Unlted States. Years afterward among some Sevier's papers that had been picked up in the attic of a deserted house In Knoxville was found the following re celpt from the treasurer of North Carolina: "Roc'd Jan'y 31st, 1782, of Mr. John Adair, entry taker In • the County of Sullivan, twelve thousand seven hun dred and thlrty-flve dollars, which is placed to his credit on the treasury books.
