2 FHE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1913. I WILSON INTENDS TO BE THE REAL PARTY LENDER LOUISIANA TOWNS ABE INUNDATED BY FLOOD T Of LIVING IS CHEAPEST IN SOUTH President Plans Coalition of Congressional and Demo cratic Nat, Committees BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON. April 30.—Explana tions about President Wilson’s inter vention in the affairs of the Democratic congressional committee were forth coming today. These explanations not only served to clear away some misap prehensions, but further emphasized tne fact that Mr. Wilson intends to lead the party in all its varied activities. The president did not ask that the meeting ow the committee, for the pur pose of electing a chairman, be delayed two weeks, because he was opposed to the selection of Representative John son, of Kentucky, as chairman, John son's friends thought so last night, but they know differently today. The sole motive of the president was to give him time to conclude plans for the coalition of the congressional com mittee and the Democratic national cornmitte. ' Instead of having thenv as separate, independent bodies although they have a common end, he wants to bring them into co-ordination with each other, in other words, he wants etfi- ciency and economy applied in the or ganization of the machinery for run ning the party. For obvious reasons the president is just as keenly inter ested in the selection of a Democratic house in 1914 as are the members ot v the house, it is essential to the success ef his administration and to bring that about the president will take the stump himself in the congressional election, just as he has taken to it in Jersey in the legislative elections. The plans for bringing about closer co-operation between the national com mittee and the congressional committee was started by the president and Rep- resntative Lloyd, the retiring congres sional chairman, at Sea Girt, when the campaign started last summer.

He declares that diplomacy may de lay and occasionally avert conflicts, but .“the* sword will remain the final and’ decisive factor ’ until the world’s end.” In another passage he says: “Only with th e support of our good sword can we maintain that place in the sun which is due to us but which is not willingly accorded to us.” The author points out Germany’s un fortunate geographical position and warns his countrymen that the German army and nav> must be kept continu ously at the highest point of efficien cy. He says that increasing commer cialism and the desire for riches threat en to destroy the old ideals, “since for the undisturbed earning of money one needs peac e at any price. History shows that the nations in which com mercial interests have decided-their pol icy have ended ingloriously.” He appeals to all Germans to be ready to sacrifice their blood and their possessions and continues: “Then the world .nay be full of dev ils arrayed In arms against us, but we shall conquer.” TOBACCO AT WHOLESALE CHEAPER THAN IN 1910 (By Associated Press.)

BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30.—The opponents of Colonel William J. Harris, of Georgia, for director of the census, received a hard jolt this morning when the senate census committee adopted a report recommending Mr. Harris’ speedy confirmation. Only one vote was cast against the favorable report. Senator Townsend, of Michigan, who has headed an unsuccess ful movement to hold up all Democrats, voted- against Mr. Harris, and will file a minority report, in order to delay the final action in the senate. The Georgia senators have made a hard and consistent fight for the con firmation of Mr. Harris. The favorable action of the senate committee this morning speaks volumes for the influ ence of the Georgians, neither of whom is a member of the census committee. The favorable report is a distinct gain for Mr. Harris, and while it does not follow that he will be confirmed at once, the opponents of Mr. Harris con tend that the action of the committee will prove a tremendous advantage. It will bring the nomination squarely before the senate for the first time. The opposition to Mr. Harris, as has been explained in these dispatches, in nowise reflects upon the personality or capacity of the Georgian. Friends of E. Dana Durand, the incumbent, started the movement to delay the Harris con firmation, in order to prolong Durand’s tenure of office and enable him to “com plete’ the thirteenth census, which was taken under his direction. President Wilson's intended de parture for New Jersey tomorrow on a speaking trip, congested his engage ments today.

The prisoners were then given up by their guards and landed before the naval authorities in the harbor understood what was going on. They had dis appeared before any action could be taken against them. The firing from the cruiser caused great alarm in the capital, many people assuming that a fresh revolution had broken out.

The bureau incidentally pointed out that while the salaries of the majority of male teachers In the high schools average only $700 the teachers of agriculture were receiving $1,200. “Lack of teachers” is the explanation offered by the bureau as the cause for the higher, remuneration for those who teach agriculture. “Not only is it found that the aver age pay of instructors in agriculture is higher than of other teachers,” says the bureau, “but that teachers who are able to give such instruction in addi tion to regular work command better salaries than they otherwise would and are more likely to be advanced to prin- cipalships than if they had not spe cialized in agriculture.” BURNED TO DEATH IN HARTWELL BARN HARTWELL, qa., April 30.—Robert Wallace, aged four years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Garret Wallace, who life near Hartwell, was burned in a large barn, 25 yards from the dwelling house.
