WON’T YOU WITHDRAW YOUR VETO, MR. MAYOR.
The Georgian hope* and believes Mayor Woodward is mis
taken in hia statement printed elsewhere in today’s paper to
the effect that whether his veto holds or not, there will be a pro
hibition election.
It is generally believed that a prohibition election would not
be wise at this time, and'The Georgian believes the majority
of thinking people think right as a rule.
We have stood against a prohibition election from the
beginning, but'we stand more firmly against such setbacks as
we have recently passed through, and in our front page state
ment of December 24th we distinctly stated that if we cannot get
the regulation as passed by council and vetoed by the mayor, the
thinking people who are waiting patiently will see relief through
h prohibition election. In other words, the liquor conditions that
existed when the riot came, which conditions Mayor Woodward
states he wishes unchanged. MUST BE GTIAXGED, and if the may
or and council, who were elected by the people, will not grant
what, seems to be the wish of the people, backed by The Georgian,
The Constitution and The Journal, then we believe the more rad
ical course of a prohibition election will be the next best, means,
and the only means by which we ean impeach the opposition that
is being shown to a popular demand.
Mayor Woodward first says he ia trying to act in accord with
the wishes of the people and then declares the people will have
prohibition either way—how about that. Mr. Woodward!
We need a change—we need the $2,000 license.
-It will not be an experiment nor a risk. Prohibition may
lie both to a certain extent hut there seems to be nothing left but
to try it.
Mr. Woodward, think seriously! It takes a great mail to have
the courage to about face, but you hare the eotirage. and don’t
you think developments have made it appear that you will do a '
great service to the city wc love so much, if, as almost your last
official act, yon snve us from the risk and turmoil that is almost
sure to come.
We will stflnd with you against a eall for an election if you
will do it. and the other papers, wc know, will do the same.
Do it, Mr. Mayor.
SATURDAY EVENING.
The twills.,t falls fast upon the last Saturday evening of the event
ful year of 1904. /
It haa been n stormy, and tempestuous cycle for us all. In war, In
peace. In trade. In politics. In society and in religion, It has enriched all
records with events of vast and varied meaning, and as it passes to the
realm of shades and memories It leaves behind for history's pen the
documents to establish It an Immortality In time.
It would be Ane with sweeping pen to trace the majestic Hue of Inci
dents that have marked the closing year—to summarize the martial
movements that have been transformed Into the mightier miracle of
peace, to gather the great sweep of commerce into descriptive statement,
to balance It against the dark exposures of human frailty In high Anance,
and to contrast these‘with the uplifting currents of society and the rapid
and Inspiring fraternity among religious creeds.
But the hour admits at best a passing locnl comment, and a purely
local plea.
We are passing out of the shadow now of the darkest incident In our
local annals. Into an era of peace and a high conception of the reign of
law- The white man haa reacted from the wildest expression of his
ruclal antagonism Into a noble and uplifting advocacy of law, and the
negro, he It said to hla credit, la co-operating through hla highest repre
sentatives, with the beat and kindest element of the superior race. For
this we offer thanks to the Throne from which all mercies come.
We have suffered In this eventful year, the sorrow and travail of a
long and bitter political campaign. Blows have been dealt and wounds
have been made that leave memories which only noble minds are great
enough to efface from recollection. Friend against friend r.nd kinsman
against kinsman have ranged themselves In separate and opposing
campa, and In their honest advocacy have clashed In judgment, sympa
thy and public spirit upon the Issues of a great campaign.
The keenness of debate la over, but there lingers In the aftermath of
battle the embers of a bitterness that smoulders and menaces the unity
of the tranquil and prosperoua future to which we strive.
There should be no factions of personal feeling In this great and
united state of Georgia. We may dl vide on economic lines and social Is
sues, but we have been too long a unit In the essential things of civilisa
tion for feuds and personal enmities to dlsAgure a people, which aide by
side has grown out of great tribulation and wrought out surpassing prob
lems to noble and correct results.
The clash of ambition Is a transitory thlug which should be fought
In fairness and ended with the verdict of the polls which tells the winner
and denies the loser of the prlxe. The clash df ideas may represent our
different minds and our varying environment, and If each man has car
ried hla own Idea lu honest courage lo the public conscience of a demo
cratic government, be should accept the verdict ot that majority which
may give Its judgment to one man and its affections to another. The Idea
that wins today may be discredited tomorrow, and the victor of yester
day may follow today lu the wake of a greater than he.
No honest difference of opinion on public Issue* should separate
honest men, and when the battle of our brains la over, the unembittered
hand should reach out to Hud Its comrade In the friend ot common strug
gles In the year* gone by- -
And an as the year falls to silence In this softened week of peace
and fraternity, let ua trust that the Georgians who have been estranged
ti|Kin «o scant a cause as varying friendships and differing opinions, may
let fall the passion and feeling of day* and hours that are forever past,
and on the bright threshold of the bravo new year, renew the fellow
ships of yesterday and repledge the friendships that should be strong
enough to survive a dozen differences and a thousand conflicting views.
I-et ns forget all In the past that is uupleasant and bitter, and let us
remember for the future (bat we are all Georgians, seeking according to
our several light* to advance the Interest of the people and the honor of
the state.
And so let ua all shake hands and start the year without malice
and without guile.
A SOUTHERN CANDIDATE AND A STATE’S RIGHTS
PLATFORM.
Now. then. The Washington Host seems to be taking the suggestion
of a Southern man for the presidency with pro|ier seriousness, and to
regard It with seasonable good will.
In a brief editorial at the head of Ha page on Wednesday last, The
Post remarks:
“A year frost now the Democratic party will be running up
and down the South hunting a candidate for president of the
United State*. He may be found In little Delaware; he may be
be found In big Texas: he may be found on the banks of the
Yazoo. In the state of Mississippi.
"It has been a long time since the country has had a taste
of old-fashioned Democracy. Those of our population who were
fortunate enough lo experience H have a recollection of what real
corn bread was; but even In Kentucky the tusking of sure-enough
corn bread la rapidly becoming a lost art. just as Democracy
got to be a lost art, so far as the Democratic party Is concerned,
some ten or a dozen years ago.
"But there are some real Democrats left, just as there 1s
some real corn pone left In Kentucky, and the Democratic party
is likely to be on a voyage of discovery a year or sixteen
months hence. Orsy, Rayner. William*. Culberson—there arc
plenty of them between Delaware Bay aud the Rio Grande
mouth.
"Mr. Root lately made a speech that awakened the Democrat
ic conscience of the South. There la some dispute as to the cor
rect interpretation of Mr. Root’s speech, whether It was a threat
or a warning. Some folks say it was a bugle call to patriots to ral
ly to the support of state’s rights: other saw In It a funeral ora
tion pronounced ou dead and done for state’s rights.
"Whatever It really was, it made mighty logical the Demo
cratic party's search for a Southern man to captain the Democrat
ic squad In ISO* ''
There is real meat In the comment of The Post, aad It is an Insplr-
ratfon to note the Idea Implied If not expressed by that great newspa-
lier. that the South Is the American section of the republic, and its states
men the real defenders of the constitution and the rights of the etatee.

great political party, which has lived upon Its loyal support.
A STATEMENT THAT STAINS.
It docs ring monstrous upon the conscience of Atlanta to hear from
a reputable committee after careful Investigation, that not one of the
victims of our September riot was remotely connected with any of the
offenses charged against the race, and that there was not a vagrant In
the entire list of the twelve killed and seventy wounded.
This strong statement Is a damaging thing to send abroad for the
great public who have already abused Atlanta ao much, but It la a whole
some and effective warning to din Into the ears of every riotous and
disorderly Individual In the city of Atlanta.
It does not seem likely that the majority of the roeu who were most
guilty In this affair will ever bis reached by the strong and avenging hand
of outraged law. And there It only left the mighty engine of public
opinion to bring to bear In condemnation of their crimes.
The press of Atlanta must perhaps risk the further damage which
will be entailed upon the reputation of the city lo this publicity In order
that the strong'clear note or the newspapers snail represent i’ue ipi. It of
the city and of the community, and may possibly reach the earn of at
least a majority of those who were engaged In a 1 riot whose results upon
the innocent have perhaps never been equaled In the annals of crime.
To think that In a racial trouble Inspired by revenge for monstrous
outrages, real or attempted, that the blind majority of rioters should have
found no single culprit on whom to whet its vengeance, but in a spirit,
of wanton and reckless generalization should have destroyed twelve and
wounded seventy entirely Innocent and Inoffending parties.
It Is not possible to disguise the fact that there were many people en
gaged in that mob who ought by all their traditions to have known
better, and who entered it thoughtlessly on the angry and frenzied Im
pulse of the moment. These participants will carry with profound and
long-continued regret the results of tbelr conduct. They were swept
away by the events of the preceding weeks and probably followed the lead
of bolder and more reckless spirits who were not ao careful of 'human
lifo or conscientious as to the guilt or Innocence of the assailed.
We feel sure that these men are already suffering sorrow and the
pangs of remorse, because they are built of the stock and come from the
blood of a civilization that cannot contemplate such a fault even of Its
own without an aftermath of horror and regret.
To those of this class who are reached by the appeals of the public
press, this ghastly finding of the committee should be a warning as long
as they live, against hasty and Intemperate expressions of either private
or public passion and revenge. ^
Never again should auy young man or old participant who reads
this startling statement, be tempted to forget this episode which, wheth
er designed or thoughtless, haa made of him a criminal (a a greater or
lesser degree. Never again should any maa who touched the outskirts
of this violent demonstration fall to remember the Imperative duty which
devolves upon every citizen In a crisis to keep his temper and retain hts
head and not to forget the sanctity of human life or the majesty of the
law.
There are doubtless some sad tad shadowed hearts that are beating
today In the bosoms of some men who were impulsive members of this
mob. The law may find them out and physical punishment may be added
to tbelr keen regrets, but If It does not we are confident that every ad
vancing year ot their lives and of their reflective capaslty will add to the
shadow and to the suffering which the memory of their connection with
this deplorable tragedy must entail.
For whether they art punished by the law or whether they are unap
prehended and go unwblpt of justice, they mutt undoubtedly suffer under
the lash of that conscience which Is the heritage of every man born of
good parents and under a Christian civilization.
