ATLANTA To CHANCE
HER CITY CHARTER

ATLANTA, Ga, April 25.Atlanta's
city politicians who have always
fought any revision of the city charter,
for the simple reason that a revised
charter would separate them from
from their jobs and cheat them of
their patronage, were handed a severe
jolt yesterday when Judge George
Hillyer, one of the city's wealthiest
and most prominent citizens and a
member of the state railroad commits
sion, came out in statement declar-
ing he has reached the conclusion that
the time has come to give the munich
Pal machinery general overhauling.
Judge Hillyer was the author of the
present city charter, which was enact
ed by the Legislature in 1877, and in
past charter fights he has always stood
by the charter and led the fight against
revision. The politicians have gladly
placed him in the front rank and fol-
lowed his leadership, as he was the
most representative and the most in.
fluential ally they could find.
But the charter has been changed
and amended and amended and tink-
cred with so many times, since Judge
Hillyer wrote it, that his proud master
piece is now an altogether different
document from what it used to be, and
the judge wants to see it put in order.

SAVE INDIAN NAMES.

The Blackfoot Indians are urging
Secretary Of the Interior Franklin K
Lane to retain the old Indian names
ir the Glacier National Park. A del.
eeation from the Blackfoot tribe is
making these representations to sec.
rotary Lane.
The Indians have been harshly treat
ed during the existence of the white
man on this hemisphere. We took a
land in the same manner that thu
brute overruns a child. In reservations
we have cooped the red men until they
have virtually become extinct.
If there is anything which the Unite j
states can do to retain these traces of
the life of the American Indian, it be-
comes our officials to do So Secretary
Lane could act in this matter as a ma
icrity of the people would have him do
and retain these Indian names.
What Georgian is there who would
give the names of Ocmulgee, Oco-
nee, Etowah and Chattahoochee. And
within the bounds of Sumter county
who would sacrifice the name Of
Muckalee and Kinchafoonee.
The Indian names are veritable mus
ic attuned to the ripping waters which
bear their sparkling qualities. The In
dian name has penetrated the city,
county and state, and we want their
names perpetuated.
We trust the preservation of the
names will be maintained by Secretary
Lane.

RAINBOW SHOOTING.

The esteemed Waycross Journal
Herald takes the valuable Savannah
Press to task over its late criticism of
William Jennings Bryan, now since.
Editor Volney Williams recalls to
mind the past attitude of the Press
towards Mr.. Bryan and the interest
displayed n the days that were by
Editor Pleasant Stovall, who is now
minister to Switzerland.
The parting of the Press and Mr..
Bryan may be more noticeable than
many other Georgia papers because
several had already wandered far
But there are few newspapers in
Georgia today who attempt to explain,
condone and reconcile the actions of
that peerless leader, now referred to
by the photographers as Wimjaybrine.
President Wilson paid valuable
debt when he appointed Bryan as his
secretary of state. The president had
no other course because his nomina-
ton lay directly at the hands of Bryan.
When Wilson won his victory and his
cabinet became a concern of nation
wide interest it was no surprise when
the nomination of Bryan was sent to
the senate.
But many wise political observers
over the states commented and prog
nosticated that a split would come be-
tween these two powers of Democracy.
There predictions were fulfilled by the
famous God be with you resignation
of the Nebraska fuss-maker. Since
that time Bryan has been conspicuous
because of the utter contempt and
degradation to which he has been led
by the people of the United States.
1t remained for the public to choose
between Wilson and Bryan and this
required no special study. One was
a man and type of citizenship, coupled
with proud ascension in statesman
ship of which any country might be
proud. The other was weakened.
ego-worshiper and painful in the ex-
IRENE. Great people do not hesitate.
So today Woodrow Wilson stands
among his own people and the nations
OF the world not too proud to fight"
but so proud that he will fight in the
interest of his people and the rights of
humanity.
AS far as southern papers alligning
themselves with the eastern press in
denunciation of Bryan, it all goes on
to show that the criticism has become
universal.
The states may rejoice If it is true
that Bryan cannot find way into the
st. Louis convention. The press dis
patches will carry Jingle of pleasure
if they relate the simple news that a
| Democratic convention wah held
without the disconcerting presence of
Wimjaybrine.

There are few papers in Georgia
that want to hold the state road. 1t is
much cheaper for the L. & n. road to
lease it than to own it But we don't
believe that the newspapers referred
to have been subsidized by the L. 4

road to further some political plans,
or they just refuse to look at the
question from our viewpoint. And
they have a perfect right to do either.

THAT L. & n. ROAD.

The Times Recorder was the first
paper in Georgia to pay its respects to
the Atlanta Journal when 1t came out
with a muzzle-loaded editorial scat
tering feas and humble bees-all
about the people and "emissiaries OF
the L. & ~" who were advocating the
sale of the w. G. A. road. The Journal
responded later by saying that there
were Of course, a few honest men in
the crowd, and intimating that there is
little honor among thieves.
Occasionally over the state news
paper is heard to charge wrong mot
ives, intentions and INSCRIPTIONS
propaganda to those who favor the
sale of the state road. This paper
was among the first in the state to fay
or the sale of the w. & A, and it fol-
lowed scores of Georgia weeklies in
that opinion.
The Atlanta Georgian came out with
one of those famous seven-column
headlines stretched across their rear
and rare page, opposing the sale
Of the state road. With 10 point type
aid black-face and interlacings they
rushed to the aid of the state Yea,
remarkable protectors, they are.
Editor Volney Williams, of the Way
cross Journal-Herald, opposes the sale
and as a epresentative-elect from
Ware county, will fight any measure to
sell the road when he becomes men,
Der of the general assembly. Editor
Williams promptly told the Georgian
about his views-which was all right,
and this said Georgian displayed these
views in somewhat lesser light, but
nevertheless in a double column style.
The Times-Recorder is glad to see
that discussion has arisen over the
sale of the W. & A. road. There are
two sides, and those opposed to the
sale can console themselves that they
have large following in the state.
Governor Harris has stated that he
is giving much thought to the ques-
ton, and we trust he thinks enough to
make his views clear and concise be-
fore election day in Georgia. Candi
dates for the legislature might make
their views known so the people can
act with their agents at the capitol
But this "hollier than thou" stuff
about saving the state; protecting the
commonwealth; clarifying the deep
and hallowed rights of the people-all
Of that is amiss in this question. The
Journal, the Georgian, ETC., and ct
cetera, can rest assured that the news
papers Of Georgia who advocate the
sale of the W. G. "A. road have served
this state with as great degree of dill
gence and honor as it has become
their privilege.
Sentiment has no place in the dis .
cussion-it is just business PROPOSE
ton. Figures show that the state can
derive greater revenue and protect it
just as well, by the sale of the w. & A.
ard the investment of the proceeds. It
VIII take constitutional act and all
can be done at the same time.
But the state is not going to the
dogs because there are a few news
papers in Georgia-and they are
growing more numerous each day, who
favor the sale of the state road. We
vote the Democrats ticket; have
never slept with the enemies of the
party-and that is more than some
people can say.

BEAUTY IN DISTRESS

T was like some Partisan boulevard, that
Michigan Avenue with the park on the one
side, and great buildings blazing with lights
upon the other, while between, glistening in
the glow of electric clusters, an endless
of motor cars glided noiselessly along the
pavement. The wide walk was thronged with
