@A a carefully prepared address deliv-‘
ercd today in th house, Representa

Amerira hopad always to avoid war,
and (bat “statesmen, publicists, poli

Japan” really wanted war they would
“be the ones to bring it on and not
Americans. The speaker briefly re

nese immigration problem, he said
students of international 'law recog
nized the f‘absolute right” of any na

wwar between Japan and the United
States in my lifetime, not even the
life time of my sons, and I am thor

be no difficulty between the two na
tions at any time.” The speaker de
clared “Many public officials of Ja-
Qan," as well as political “agitators”
tried to make the world believe that

FORECAST .BY .NEW .ENGLAND
TEXTILE MANUFACTURERS.
Boston, Dec. 9—A wage reduction
of twenty two and a half percent in
the textile mills of New England and
New York state was forecast today
in a statement issued after a confer
ence of textile manufacturers. Ap
proximately 75 percent of the indus
try in this section, representing mak
ers both of cotton and woolen pro
ducts were represented at the con
ference. The industry mplays thiee
thundred thousand p2rsons.
Such reductions, according to the
statement would bring wage schedules
back approximtely t 6 figures that ex
isted a year ago and leave Wwage
standards generally mere than double
those of 1915.
The present stagnant condition of
the textile industry made the consid
eration of wage reduction necessary,
it was stated.

| MERCER ALUMNUS STILL BE-
I LIEVES IN HIS OLD COLLEGE
l LITERARY SOCIETY.
l At the last meeting of the Cicero:
| nean Society, a letter was read from
iCsngressman William D. Upshaw,
'gMercer Aiumnus, in which he offered
] a medal to be given the best all round
| debater in the society. The offer was
‘\manimously accepted and debaters
! were elected for the other inter so
|ciety debates for the yéar.
| William David Upshaw came to
| Mercer during the late nineties and
made a remarkable record in oratory
|and debating. Although he had pre
| viously been confined to the bed seven
years from a broken spine, he came
to Mercer in a rolling chair and paid
his own way. His was one of the
most unique cases in the history of
the institution. His work on the cam
pus was toward a better moral amos
phere and he became noted for his
work in the vesper services which
are held on the campus.
; Praised by Writer.
During the year of 1899 he was
president of the Oratorical Associa
tion. He was also Editor-in-Chief
of the college magazine, The Mercer
ian, for the spring of 1898, In all
the college activities he took the
keenest interest and this was espe
_cially true of the debating societie=.
During his stay at Mercer a debate
was ‘held between the University of
Georgia and Mercer in Atlanta. The
greatest rivalry existed hetween the
two schools and the Mercer men
~went up in a body. An article in one
of the Atlanta papers by John Temple
Graaves told of the part of Upshaw
as follows:
One student, Willie Upshaw a man
without any physical backbone ex
cept that furnished by a plaster of
Paris jacket, but with a moral backi
bone ag rigid as a brake beam and;
a heart as big as the sea—a dauntless :
cripple and invalid working his way
through college by his own heroic ex-‘
ertions put his hand into his pocket
and laid $lOO upon the emergency mj
bring Mercer to Atlanta.”
Gets Big Majority. ‘
Since leaving college he le(:ture‘l;
nearly all over the United States |
against the saloons. At one time h'-'!
was vice president of the Anti Saloon |
lengue of America. He worked forj
sometime in the interest of Bessic
Tift and it was due to his efforts that
Upshaw Hall was built. |
He was elected to the 66th Con- |
gress from the Atlanta district and,
was reelected during the last ele(:ti(m.!
His last election proved his work in |
congress was approved for his was al
large majority even though he was in
favor of the League of Nations,
During hig years of work in the|
world he has never forgotten his col- |
lege days and he comes back occa-'
sionally to see the scenes of his
young days. Every man on the Mer
cer campus has heard him speak and
he ig always given a rousing welcome
as one of the greatest sons of Mercer:

'DOUGLAS SHERIFF
- BACKS UP MEDLIN
lTells Prison Commission Baker Wae
| Menace to County.
Atlanta, Dec. 8.-—No record ever
filed with the Georgia Prison Com
migsion has ever obtained such a
' statement from an officer of the law
las that in the matter of the applica
|tion of Walter B. Medlin, serving a
life sentence for murde'r, and who it
asking for a pardon.
~ Sheriff A. S. Baggett of Douglas
county, has wired the Prison Com
mission that W. E. Baker, who was
killed in Macon by Medlin, was a
meance to humanity and that “Doug
iasville and Douglas county appreci
ate what Medlin did for us in gettin;."
rid of such a character.” l
The Medlin case is but one of threec
hig pardon applications now before
the Commission and, while it is less
consgpicicus than the other two on |
account of the age of the homicide
its record is fairly oozing with sen
sation and reeking with unthinkable
charges against the man killed.
The Medlin case, which was argu
ed at yesterday's session by the Pris-|
on Commission, and which the (‘,om-l
mission now has under consideration '
is based on the claim of after-discov
ered evidence, but its feature is the
lurid nature of documentary testi
mony included in a record which is
continuing to grow in bulk by addi
tion of numerous letters and tele
grams which are coming to the Pris
on Commission today.

simplification of the present law, anmld
the substitution of fair and proper
taxes for present taxes, which, to my
mind, are in many respects unfair
and improper.” He predicted that
