ROOSEVELT'S POLICV
SAYS MV. GLENN
Centralization of Power at
Washington Feared in
the South.
New York, Aug. in.—Governor Glenn,
North Carolina’s “fighting executive,”
who Is here attending the hearing of
the Southern Railway injunction suit,
said, at the Hoffman House, that he be
lieved the railroad rate war was In
fair way of being settled In a manner
that was satisfactory to the people of
his state. The governor let It be known
In unmistakable terms that he was for
legislation that would cut down rail
road rates to even a lower figure than
the 2 1-4-cent rate which led to the
clash of authorities between the fed
eral and state courts.
"We are not afraid," said he, "of our
Industrial development being Interfered
with and we will protect capital Just
as much as we tvtfr have. The railroad
Interests In this Instance did not stand
for a square deni. They refused to
recognize our courts where we gave
them every opportunity In the world
to have adjudicated all the points in
volved and to go from our courts to
the United States supreme court.
“I believe that the proper remedy for
Filch a situation and one that would
permit the possibility of a clash be
tween the federal and state courts
would be to have congress pass a law
providing that disputes within a state
shall be passed upon first by the
highest courts In that state before
taken to the federal courts. Only once
did the North Carolina situation be
come serious. Had Judge Pritchard
gotten our prisoner away from us and
adjudged Judge Long In contempt, I
certainly would have backed Judge
Long up with soldiers and every deputy
sheriff In North Carolina. Of course,
had President Roosevelt sent troops
Into our state, then we would have had
to throw up our hands, as one state
could not fight the Union. But we
should have appealed to the voters of
the country, and I think they would
have been with us."
Governor Glenn said that people In
North Carolina had not begun to get
very excited over the next presidential
election.
"We ,\f)ll give 70,000 plurality to the
Democratic candidate over President
Roosevelt, If need he," he said. Presi
dent Roosevelt, he said, Is not as strong
as he was, because of his centralizing
policy, which Is not popular In the
South. •
After a smelling grind, continuing
to 3:30 o'clock Sunday morning, the
senate yielded to the Inevitable and ac
cepted the conference compromise of
$600 for club lockers, and adjourned
sine die.
The end came only after dogged,
pefsistent opposition from both sides.
Three conference committees were
necessary. In the first two, senate and
house conferees were as granite In their
positions. The senate stood by the
$10,000 tax. the house for $300.
It seemed fruitless to attempt further
efforts at compromise. Senators
Knight. Overstreet, Wilkes and Hud
son refused to yield an Inch. Black
burn, Barrow, Hines and Donalaon.
from the house, were equally Immov
able In their positions.
But a third committee conference
caught the two bodies worn and hag
gard from the long duel of cross-pur
poses. The w'hole Issue was fought out
and the compromise of $500 was flnallv
reached. In the senate It still found
adamantine opposition. Knight, Over-
street, Taylor, Wilkes fought again. On
the vote to accept the compromise, It
won by the narrow margin of 17 to 14.
Tha Commission Bill,
That final session of the senate was
crammed with Incident. It saw a
formidable majority agalnat Increasing
the membership of the railroad com
mission bill to live crumble away, and
Inch by inch the vote pulled to the
other side. When the bill passed the
senate originally that body voted
against Increasing the membership to
five by • a vote of something like
25 to 17.
When the bill came back to the sen
ate Saturday night, with many amend
ments, an attorney for the commission
and the five members, it was evident
that a fight was ahead. The amend
ment to placercottoq compresses under
the railroad commission met with op
position, but It was Ineffectual. The
attorney proviso likewise met some op
position, but It remained In the bill.
Then came the vote on the Increased
membership. It lost by a vote of 23 to
20. There was a hurrying to and fro,
and presently Senator Overstreet
moved to reconsider. Instantly, Sena
tor Flynt was on his feet, his eyes
blazing and his voice vibrant with
passion.
Flynt’s Arraignment.
'Gentlemen, we are the wltneeees
here tonight of the most amazing spec
tacle ever seen In this capitol. We
have had tt flung In our teeth time and
time again that corporate Interests are
filling this capitol with lobbyists. Yet
we have tonight the spectacle of the
governor of a great state influencing
members to vote against the dictates or
their consciences. In the name of God.
are you no longer men to act upon
your own consciences and Judgment?
"You have had here a bill to clear
this capitol of lobbying. I went to
put you on notice that at the nest ses
sion I shall Introduce a resolution to
Include In this category governors, con
gressmen and state house officials. Be
fore I would allow myself to be whip
ped Into line by a governor or any
other human being. I would be man
enough to yield up my seat In this
body."
Senator Felder sprang to his feet In
Impassioned reply:
“If the gentleman alms his darts at
me. I am willing to confess that I have
talked with the governor many times
on this matter. I did vote agalnat the
Increase before, but If It will aid this
administration to secure reforms need
ed, It Is puerile In me to Interpose my
own views to defeat a great purpose. I
have no apologtea to make the senator
from the Twenty-alxth, or any one else,
for my position now or at any other
time.”
Senators Hayes and Taylor made
heated speeches on the change of
front of senate members. 8enatnr Tay
lor declared that If he had favored the
Issue before, that under the conditions
existing he would now oppose It.
President Breeke Tie.
Then came the vote on reconsidera
tion. Senator Brock now voted with
those favoring live members. The vote
stood 21 to 21. President Akin said
there was nothing Inconsistent In hie
voting for the five members, as he had

JUST TWO MORE DAYS
IN WHICH TO BUY THE SOUTH
ERN’S $40 SCHOLARSHIPS
Tuesday, August 20, the Last Day of the Special Scholar
ship Rate.
After spending fifty days In see-saw
ing with the senate In the effort to get
together on all Important reform meas
ures, and after dallying with time until
the sands in the hour glags ran low and
the end of the session hove In sight
with important measures still unpassed,
the lower house of the general assem
bly put on the high-speed gear Sat
urday night and from 8 o’clock In the
evening until the pale tint of dawn waa
almost discernible at 3:80 o’clock Sun
day morning, enacted more Important
legislation than has ever been crowded
into one session in the history of the
state.
During the first half of the session
which has Just gone Into history, the
house was absorbed with the consider
ation of that measure which was deem
ed by many to be of more general and
vital Interest to the state than all other
proposed reforms In Georgia—the pro
hibition bill. For almost thirty days
the house rested on Its oars, and with
the exception of the introduction and
passage of local measures and the half
hearted consideration of a few general
bills of secondary Importance, the leg
islative craft stood stationary and not
a sail flapped In the breeze*untll that
measure was passed which swept whis
ky across the border.
When Delays Began.
With the prohibition bill disposed of
the house temporarily appeared to have
thought its work of reform had been
completed and trouble arose in agree
ing with the upper house and disagree
ing with Itself on other reform meas
ures, until It appeared that an extra
session would be Inevitable If bills llko
the railroad commission bill, the dis
franchisement bill, the anti-pass bill,
etc., would be enacted Into law before
the next session of the general assem
bly in 1908.
"We will stand pat on our work,"
came from the lower house, and from
the chamber on the other side of the
capitol came back like an echo:
"So will we."
But the hitch, as It finally proved,
was only fleeting.
The house In the first place did not
want an extra session, and In the sec
ond place It was Just as anxious to en
act reform measures Into law us any
body In the state, the only trouble, be-*
Ing a division of opinion ns to how It
should be done and the best way to d
U.
Busy at Last.
Thus It happened that when there
was no longer time for argument and
the expression of Individual views on
questions upon which the people h aV o
spoken, the house moved as a great ma
chine with but one purpose In view and
tills were enacted into law with greater
dispatch than was ever seen before.
Upon two bills which were hard
fought In the house and which for
time met with stormy opposition, the
lower branch of the general assembly,
having taken Its position, stood pat and
refused to recede even at the behest ol
the senate.
These bills were the Candler-Over-
stret railroad commission bill and the
Felder-Williams disfranchisement bill.
The senate placed the number of rail,
road commissioners at three, but after
hard fight the house Increased tho
number to five and kept It there until
the senate was forced to agree to it
Saturday night.
The bill enlarges the power of the
railroad commission so that It has the
same authority over street railroads,
gas and electric companies, docks,
wharfs, terminal companies, telephono
and telegraph companies, cotton com
presses and sleeping car companies,
It now exercises ever railroads.
The bill allows any corporation over
which the commission exercises its au
thority fo take an appeal, but provides
that during the pendency of the appeal
the rulings of the commission shall be
effective. It also provides that tho
governor shall appoint an attorney for

advocated It on the floor when the bill
was first up. His vote broke the tie,
and the administration had won.
Remarkable to say. the Issue that
tied up the two bodies on the appropri
ation bill, carrying $4,770,000, was
the question of whether or not $3,500
would be given the state board of
health to manufacture diphtheria anti
toxin. After the senate had Increased
the public school fund from $1,850,000
to $2,000,000 for 1908, and from $2,000,-
000 to $2,250,000 for 1309, Rnd raised the
appropriations of several of the stats
Institutions, It was expected that a
hitch would come there.
But the house accepted all of these,
and stuck on a $3,600 appropriation. A
conference committee was named, and
the senate won Its contention.
Narcotic Drug Bill.
During the Anal session, the senate
received notice that the house had
passed the Steed bill restricting the
sale of narcotic drugs. This bill pre
vents the sale or giving away of co
caine, alpha or beta eucalne, opium,
heroin, chloral hydrate or any of their
compounds, save on a physician’s pre
scription.
The senate also received notice that
the house refused to recede from Its
position on wiping out the time limit of
the good character clause In the dis
franchisement bill. Senator Felder re
luctantly yielded, and the senate con
curred.
During that final long session the
sennte found digression In pusstng the
bill prohibiting tlshlng In Georgia on
Sunday. By a curious coincidence, It
was passed' Sunday morning, shortly
after 1 o'clock. Senator Overstreet
made an effort to get up the resolution
for Investigating the ownership of the
Central railroad, but he was defeated.
A large number of local house ond
senate bills were passed while the sen
ate was watting for reports from the
conference committees. At 3:30 o'clock

providing for the reorganization of the

minor amendments offered by the sen
ate. »
After a prolonged discussion the
house tabled the bill by Senator Far
