UU OLEAX THE BHOFP1MO AMD PEBEOTEU* SYBEETS.
It la customary In all cities of sice and experience to reserve end pre
serve certain streets and avenues for tbs use of shoppers and pedestrians.
The enormous growth of coauneree which Is flooding the railroads
and making transportation difficult In all lla branebes, la equally evident
In tba wholesale and retail trade In the cities, and the Increase In care
and freight trains la fully duplicated In the enormoua multiplication of
draya and wagont and ran* op tbe streets of cltlea. Just aa the freight
traffic hie Impeded and delayed passenger tranaportstlon Ip the point of
protest end tlmoat to revolution, so the incresee of freights In the high
ways and atreeta of cities Is rapidly overflowing the habitual and nat
ural thoroughfares end ie creeping in to obstruct and to destroy tbe shop
ping streets and tha show streets of the cities.
The time to stop this evil Is In tbe beginning, beeaaaa this Is the
easiest time and It Is much more possible to restrain a thing before It be-
gins than to correct It after It has become a habit.
Now tba people who do business oo Whitehall and Peachtree, and the
resident* of our great thoroughfares, are. not In themselves entitled •<>
any more cnpslderatlon than the people who live on other streets. Hu'
the great bulk of the shipping traffic of Atlanta and of the retail trade
rone along the line of WhHehalhfrom"Trinity and up Peaehtree to the
Aragon hotel, and really to the junotlon of Peachtree and West Peach-
tree. Aloog this distance throbs the whole course of tbe shopping
trade «l Atlanta. lAdlee and gentlemen not only of our own City, but
many from other cltlet and from other states frequent this thoroughfare
whleb from lime Immemorial In Atlanta has bsen consecrated to their
usee and convenience. T
Bo that upon the great principle of the greatest good to the greatest
number, we sariouely urge that tbe etty authorities forbid the drays and
the heavy wagons to block these streets and to cut up the asphalt be
cause of i mere convenience to the draymen or the saving of a square
to the horses.
The heavy traffic should unquestionably bo restricted to the paral
lel and aide atreeta. both because It I* right and because It Is aohvanlent.
Whitehall and Peachtree are the shopping streets of tbe poor as well as
the rich. Not only tha rustling alike of the wealthy, but tha neat gowns
- of tn* laborer** wife sweep the pavoi And sidewalks of these gvemiee.
and they are entitled to the protection of the laws. Just aa New York
keeps Its draya and vans and heavy wagons from limed way end Fifth,
avenue put aa Cleveland Scope these vehicles from Euclid avenue and
AS TO JOHN WMUpr OAIMU.
Thc^ representative from the Naebvllle district of Tennessee In the fed
eral congress la a man shout whom the public prints are generally full.
Tbe individuality of John Wesley Gaines amounts almost to oecan-
tridty. His position Is bold, hie expression Is frank, hit statements and
hie dsring tactics provoke surprise^ admiration and amusement In the
house, and tbs parsgrapbers never cease to And him ■ proliflo source ol
comment.
But In point of fact there are few truer and braver men In the
American congress than John Wesley Oalnea. He la absolutely honest,
physically and morally brave, and Is at heart a kindly and generous man.
No suspicion of graft or dishonesty baa aver touched him, no righteous
cause has aver called him In vain. And, he blurts out In the congressional
debate truths and statements so bold and frank as to startle tbs house
and many tlmss'to quicken It to action.
The one thing that may always be counted on Is that the Tennessee
congressman Is not afraid to light. Either on the Held of battle or In the
forum of debate, his tongue and his right arm are always ready to mi/-t
any antagonist that challenges him to combat.
But no Interest of his people or of hls section has ever suffered at his
hands, and 4n the aggregate of ala eervtoe he la one of the boat and moat
useful members of the present congress of the United States.

ALABAMA'S " SECESSION” ARGUMENT AGAINST GEORGIA
Rx-Governor Johnson, of Alabama. Is, “providence permitting," a fit
lure aenalor of the United States. ~
If the four score years of Morgan or tbu four score years and ten
of Pettu* should, by reason of strength become live score, the ex-governor
will doubtless reflect upon the ntgpty burden of old ege. end think more
kindly of Dr. Osier than he does today. At present he Ie the "Perhapslt"
of politics, the residuary legatee of senatorial mortality.
In speaking for Birmingham before the ways end meant committee of
the houae. the ex-governor and tbe “perhapslt senator' 1 made a speech
that was evidently reitful to tha committee tn that It made no requisition
on the mind and Imposed no obligation upon thought. It was good fun
which happily concslaad a gaunt and fleshiest skeleton of argument, and It
had the merit of amusing those whom It despaired of being able tn con
vince. In the course of hls humorous and Irrelavant fun the residuary
senator saw fit tn make allusion to Georgia'* withdrawal from the Caro-
Ilna-Alahama caucus, and declared It to be a modern expression of the old-
time secetelon spirit which had been rather roundly rebuked by the gov-
eminent and of which he confessed that he had had enough.
i'hl* doubtful witticism gave great surprise to Georgia. The caucus
reference I have answered bo yesterday. Tha allusion to “tut' t» unhap
py tor tba ex-governor and prox senator. 8outh Carolina led the movement
for “aeceiilnn" and was the first to step over the line. William L. Yan
cey, of Alabama, had more to do wltlt it than. Robert Toombs. Alabama
was the fourth across the Hue and In advanve of Georgia, whose conserva
tive statesmen. Alexander Stephens and Harachel V. Johnson, made the
mnet memorable of pleas for settling our sectional divisions within the
Union. It seems a little nut of plumb that an Alabama publicist In full
commercial partnership with South Carolina, should appear before a na
tional committee to plead hit atate'a course by a tly criticism of Georgia
for participating In a movement Inaugurated by hie bosom ally and organ-
lied In the capital of Its own great state.
Georgia has no apolngy to offer for the heroic convictions which bore
her son* of alxty-one tn battle. Bbe fought the fight and she finished the
bitterness with the battle's close, and went straight to work to lead the re
cuperative miracle of the New South,and the larger glory of a re united
country.
And she finds today—forty years after the war la done—that Carolina
and Alabama are atlll at their old tricks—with congress as the arena—
Ihw one luausurattng wnd lhe other orgtnlilnB * seeesslon-from an agree—
ment duly marie, and the eetabllahment of a new agreement fitted to their
necessities and adapted to their plane.
The senator-governor serves chiefly to remind us that history re
peat* itself and that Carolina and Alabama have set an example to their
neighbors which brought trouble to themselves.
Note —This editorial and that of yesterday on ‘ Carolina's Snipe Hunt"
made the substance of the closing rs narks of the editor of The Georgian
In answer to the personal allusions In the speech of ex-Oovernor Johnson,
of Alabama, before the ways and means committee. The latter part of
the argument was curtailed by the limited time left after Uongreeaman Liv
ingston's speech. The editor of The Georgian had spoken ten minutes be
fore this concluding period of ten minute* In which Chairman McCord had
asked him to close the debate.—Kd.

A WHOLESOME BANQUET REFORM.

their festivities In time In permit every man to lie at home and In bod

Now. then, It has been dene, and having been done once It can be done
and ought to l*' don* at every banquet.
The Georgian haa been the resolute advocate of this plan. \Ye are
gelling to he more ami more a banquet city In Atlanta. Itualnes* bodies,
Halting conventions, fraternal assemblies and the hospitable entertain
ment of stranger*, are multiplying so fast that It Is no uurommnn thing
to see three formal banquets going on at the same time, a* It wse at the
Kimball at the time of The Georgian dinner there.
And so the increasing number of these occasions, and ihelr tierce do
maud ilium the life and vitality of participants make necessary the reform
which the I’enn Mutual has so happily Instituted-
When social festivities begin at t o'clock, the dinner at 10. the

THE GEORGIAN'S CRUSADE
A GAINS 7 UGLY SCHOOLS
A 7 TEA C7JNG A 7 7 ENT ION
The Atlanta Georgian Is making war on the “unheautlful schools" of
that city, and In so doing Is doing welt. "Tn most children." says our
contemporary, “tha mere duty of going to school Is one of entire suffi
cient unpleasantness. Having to go tn such looking schools as some of
the Atlanta horrors Is an unkind aggravation of a stem duty. The re
verse of this should bo true. The duty of going to school should b« made
os nearly a pleasure as posslhle."
That Is only half the story. Our school houses may be made thor
oughly comfortable, and yet may b* entirely devoid of any ornamenta
tion; and too frequently that Is the cate, even In the best of our
schools. The school room should be a place of development, not only of
the Intellect, bqt of ihe taste and the artistic nature of the child. To
that end ths school room should be thoroughly clean and comfortable,
and. tn addition, should be adorned, aa far aa means will permit, with
work* of art. The Times-Dispatch had that atm In view when It offered
famous statuary to the public achools of Richmond and vicinity. Teach
ers and children took a lively Intereet In the conteat, and It Is to be
hoped that thta will he the beginning of n movement In the Interest of
school decoration which will not cease until every school house tn Vir
ginia hu been adorned.—Richmond Times-Dispatch.

RUSSIAN MINISTER
ON JEWISH QUESTION
Where the Georgia Delegation
Live in Washington,
By JOSEPH HE88EN.
(Joseph Hessen la a member of the
well-known 8t. PeterahuiR Jewish fam
ily of that name, of whom two other
members. Vladimir Hexsen and Yoll
Hessen, are also <ltatlnxutahr*i! scholars
and publicists. Joseph Hessen waa a
member of the historic deputation of
seven writers who were sent to Jail
for their ntempt to prevent the 8t. Pe
tersburg massacre of January 22* 1906.
He was chosen aa c*onst it ut l«>nal Dem
ocratic candidate for Bt. Petersburg In
the late duma. but the government* by
prosecuting him for a press offence,
prevented nla election t.
A STRANQK fate overtook the
Tsar's ukas of IVreinbet T7T
1904, and the liberating labors of
the committee of mlntateia which were
begun under It. The ukas whs never
carried out. the labors were never fin
ished. Hoth were submerged In tha
wave of political activity which follow -
ed Hut both have a particular Inter
est* from the point of Mew of the his
tory of the Jewish
I predicted at the time that the ukar.
was nothing more than a tombstone for
the moribund system «»f ituaslan rule.
Mv prediction was Justified. The tomb
stone was. In fact, the imndentue and
Inspiring ‘Journal of the t'ommlttee of
Ministers," which 1 have been reading.
The Journal, to do it justice, shows
that certain things were,, effected In
many questions. Kach day’s session of
the committee ended with a pk»uw res
olution lit which ‘sui*erduous restric
tions" were condemned, and even
sometimes abolished. "Reforms," In
fact, marched with unaccustomed
apeed.
"In tbe relations of the government
to the Jewish question we find no such
ftrm. guiding principle which, once
adopted, could have been pursued con-
Slatentlv and clearly. From the time
of Catherine 11 up to today our legls-
latlon on this question has been a se
ries of inconsistent-!#** ench act being
followed bv an act entirely optsiaUe In
tandenev. JTIvtlege* for tbe Jews have
been followed by restrict Iona. Not
withstanding tbe abundance of mate
rial collected on the Jewish question,
tha question Is In no wav elucidated."
This statement l« not only quite
true. It Is well known to every one.
It is merely a wav of saying that all
departments of Russian political and
social life have been turned Into
I "questions" which the bureaucracy Is
Incompetent to solve As If feeling this
I themselves, the ministers proceeded to
point out that the Jewish question was
! not onlv political; It was social also.
iTbey did hot define w hat thev mean by
(this, but It Is quite plain that Ihelr
theory was that the Jewish people suf
fer from moral Insanity, because, they
» mtlnued. "The government has all
along attempted to make the Jews not
only Innocuous, but even useful cltl-
sens **
The committee *»f ministers pro
ceeded to declare that If the question
was merely political It would be right
to remove at once all the oppressive
laws which weigh upon the Jews, be
cause, It added, an empire containing
i maii> illfTetenf teces ought n-*t to
[maintain »e*trlvtlon* whuh operate
against only one rata. Hut In view
of the social racial element. In the
Jewish question, said the ministers,
they were not convinced that emanci
pation would not injure the Interests
of the "native" population, and they,
therefore, showed themselves ready to
sacrltlce the elementary Interests of
the Jews merely bcauae they had con
victions on the subject of the Inter
ests of the Christians.
Th#> amusing fact In this typical
bureaucratic effort at reform was that
the ministers were alao guided by
consideration for the Jews themselves.
Th#y declared In their Journal that
they considered It likely that equal
rights for the Jews would cause pop
ular discontent, which would result In
umleidrabb-—phenomena—ft.~ a.,—po
groms). In order to decide whether
this danger really existed, the minis
ters decided to ask the opinion of
municipalities, semstvos and other po
litical bodies, but on receipt of these
opinions they promptly decided that
they were of no value.
"These opinions." say the Journal,
"are very difficult to generalise, twauee
they contain varying onlnlon*. In ad
dition. In view of the absence of a
Jewish imputation In many provinces,
the opinions expressed may be guided
not by practical knowledge, hut $>>'
merely theoretical considerations."
In ehort, the committee of ministers
failed utterly to make up Its mind on
the Jewish question, though Hint*ques
tion was one specially submitted to
them. They decided that the question
must he decided 4>y the new-horn Du
ma. though they did not sav m what
way the members of the Duma, who
also mainly came from provinces w here
there were no Jews, could Judge the
problem "prartfc*ally." The anti-Re-
mltio Nov*ha Vretnyn took advantage of
this dilemma to suggest that the ques
tion of Jewish emancipation should he
submitted to popular referendum.
• Ministers are now again considering
certain aspects of the problem, and are
prepared to hand over the solution of
other aspects to the coming Duma. The
final solution, therefore, will not conn*
soon. Meantime. Jewish blood will
How ; meantime the Jews of Russia wdl
|*ant for air and starve, and Jews must
content themselves with the final dec
laration of the committee of ministers,
that "Ihe opinion of the Russian impu
tation must be considered before the
Jews are granted rights—the govern
ment. In fact, must find support In so
ciety." \Vh> ministers regard the sup
port of society as necessary in the Jew.
Ish question, while It op|N»ses society
In all others, the Journal does not say.
Rut It Is quite plain that the reason it,
that ministers hop* that Russian ru
dely will declare Itself against equal
rights for the Jews.
