PACE FOUR FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 28. 1921. The Athens Banner Published every morning except Sunday and Monday by The Athens Publishing Company, Athens, Ga, Entered at the Athens post-office as second-class mall matter under act of Congress March 8, 1879.

All rights of republication of special dis- ‘ patches are also reserved. (From the liles of The Banner in 1844.) The absence of one of the Editors in Augusta and the other the most of the week in the up-country, wilt account for the lack of editorial mat ter, as well as seeming negligence in attending upon the calls of o*v* &c. We ure. Japan’s One Main Policy. Japan may try to make the nation* of the world think that she hns a number of policies of International Import, but the fact Is that Japan has hut one main policy towards the accomplishment of which she bends every energy. That policy la the domination of Asia. The Japanese do not enre much about the question of race equality. It may offend the Japanese to be regarded by some of the great nations as of an Inferior race, but that does not affect them as much as would appear on the surface. They are simply after th« one thing and If they get that they would be satisfied. They believe that they are desitined to control Asia and to that end they are bending their every energy. They have already an nexed Korea. They arc. moving towards Siberia and northern China. They expect to take over that purt of Asia at no dlatant date and they expect to have a free hand In the exploitation of China. That Is their dream. . They naturally do not like the insistence on the part of the United States as to the policy of the open door. They are a naturally sus picious race and they have suspicions as to England, even though the English have been their allies for a long time. Here Is what the acute problem concerning the Japanese arises, the problem of adjustment of control In Asln. The United States for one nation will not consent to Japan having her way Just as she pleases in China. It Is not likely that England would consent to anything of that kind. Hence the Japanese are wary about Harding's proposal tor dis armament. They do not desire to place their cards on the table just yet and that is what they would have to do it they went Into this conference whole-heartedly. They will probably sit In the conference but it will not be without reservations. They will hold back from discussion as far aa possible the big questions of the far east. \ The Farce of German Trials During the war the remarks was frequently heard that when the war waa over the world would see Just how quickly and effectively those who were responsible tor the war would be dealth with. It waa pointed out that the Kaiser woufd bo brought to punishment, thst the officer who sent Edith Cavell to the firing squad would be punished, thst the officers who ordered the deportation of French and Belgian girls to Germany for Immoral purposes would be dealt, with. Just wait and aee what we will do to these villlans. That was the cry then. But how different It has been. Thus far no one haa been punished for the high crimes committed. The treaty of Versailles had a clause demanding the custody of the big villains so that they might be tried by the allied courts. This provision has never been enforced. On the other hand the treaty baa been set aside and Germany has been allowed to try these men In her own courts. 7. - Thus far no German officer of high military or'civil rank has been convicted in any Oerman court. No one ever wl*be convicted. The German people believe to this day In the Justice ot their cause and tn the conduct of tbelr soldiers. They do not believe their generals or their officers committed crimes worthy of punishment They are ready now as they were readyl thed to condone and excuse the most flagrant conduct. ( About the only good that can come ot these trials will be that the people may see that there Is a danger the next time suoh conduct would not be allowed to go unpunished, but It Is doubtful If even that good will be accompllahed. These German trials are just pure and simple farces. That Is about all that can be said of them. The State Owned Quarry. The purchase of s rock quarry 'r>eai l Elberton by the state highway commission at a cost of ninety thousand dollars Is one of the acts of the commission that la being criticised by Us opponents. In \he Investiga tion now proceeding the evidence on this subject was such as to firmly- establish the necessity for such s purchase and also the fact that the price paid was not exorbitant and tbst the purchase was a good business step. B. M. Hall, one ot, the most prominent engineers ot the state, s Oeor- gain of the hlgheat character and of acknowledged ability stated that lie had Inspected this quarry and that it was well vorth the price paid by the highway commission and that after two million tons of stone have been removed from It, It will be worth more than It Is now. The further the Investigation of the commission goes the more thoroughly will It be shown that that body has acted wisely and to the best interests ot the state and that whatever mistakes It may have made have been of small Import when itacked up against the things that hare been accomplished. We ere convinced that out ot this Investigation the commission will come stronger than ever before, thoroughly vindicated and Justified es to Its outlay of money, and that Osorglans will be proud ot the work ac complished and anxious for a continuation ot the same. The Proposed Fertilizer Tax. There is no merit In the proposition to Increase the fertiliser tax ^ from ten cents to thirty cents and to turn over this money to the state ft department of agriculture for expenses of the bureau of markets and V for other purposes. The legislature should vote down the proposition readily for |t does not require much thought on the subject to bring to light the fact that the proposition Is s bad one. The only thing that would be done would be to levy an additional tax of aeveral hundred thousand dollars per annqm upon the farmers ot the state. The extrli tax would not be borne by fertiliser manufacturers or dealers. It would he passed right on to the farmer and that In dividual would pay every cent of It. The farmers of the state would not object to a tax that would be to their benefit, but they fall to see where they will get this money back and in these hard times they are not so quick to pay out money that glvea them no return. There could be no posaible argument In favor ot this proposed tax ex cept that It would be of dlatlnct benefit to the farmer. This argument will not hold water, for the Increased tax would not go to the direct benefit ot the farmer. The present fertilizer tax Is ample to meet the expenses of the inspec tion of fertilisers and for the protection ot the farmers. There Is no ne cessity tor the Increase of tile tax as proposed. Our town hns been visited the past week by the Brothers Marshall’s. They have given several concerts ana expect to give another this evening. Those who love to hear a good tune, well played, will do well to attend. The Cuckoo Solo is admirably done. By reference to our advertising columns, It will be seen that ur. I-ardncr proposes to give a course ot lectures to our citizens beginning on Monday night. The reputation of Dr. I.. Is such as to Insure him. we trust, the full attendance of our eommO- ntty. In another column will be found an advertisement of the Hownrd House. Marietta. It has been reopened by Mr. McConnell who will prove a very popular landlord.' We remained at his house several days this week, ann can speak of Its merits from observa tion. Families from the low' country will find Marietta a delightful summit residence, and the Howard House s well kept JTotel. We remained also some time at the Lawrencevltle Ho tel. kept by Mr. V. Holmes, and can recommend It to the wonry traveller In need of rest and repose. Our neighbours, W. A. Tnllhadge ft Co., are continually receiving Fish. Oysters and other luxuries ot the se» board and troplral fruits, and offer ing them for sale at small rates ot profit. They deserve the liberal pat ronage ot our citizens. Last summer a young gentleman oi Savannah was robbed In this plac“ of a considerable amount of money and suspicion falling upon n negro be longing to the Central Hotel, he was severely pu.'iehed but nothing was ex torted from him. A few daya -go, the gentleman (becoming convinced that his suspicions had not been di rected to the proper Individual) for warded to the negro the generous au* of $50. Such acts as these are not common and deserve to be recorded and imitated. May he never want a friend In the hour of prosperity or oi need. We are not In the habit of noticing puppies that yelp at us, nor should we notice the snarl of the Dahlonega Times, had it not seen fit to accuse us of uttering n "fib” when we statea thst all the officers of Lumpkin Coun ty are Whigs. We had It from a citi zen ot Dahlonega and we know tnnt the Sheriff, the Superior Court Clerk, and the Clerk of the Court of Ordi nary are Whigs. They are sufficient for us. The whole article -s worthy of the Times and of nothing else. ‘Ne autor ultra crepldtor.’ Augusta, 27th March. 1844.—At K o’clock on Tuesday last, the Cars left Athens, with n respectable number ot our citizens, burning with an enthu siastic desire to mingle In the praises and participate In the welcome to the nation's pride and nation's hope, the Hon. Henry Clay. When we arrived at Ibe Lexington Depot many of Ogle thorpe’s noble sons had come out to Join In the homage due to so distin guished a cltlxen. When we remem ber that tome ot the best citizens ot old Oglethorpe had differed with their political friends relative to the proper person to be run by the Whtgs a» their next candidate for president: when wo knew that these same men heretofore excited no inconsiderable Influence over the people of that coun ty on account of their virtue and in telligence, we could but congratulate the party, at the accession we receiv ed from this old County, not less dis tinguished now, thnn In days past, tor her pure republican principles, ann unbending and unyielding political In tegrity. And old Greene, of whom It le only necessary to mention her name. Joined at every depot, within her limit, to carry up her offerings, praise and welcome to our great and glorious leader. And Taliaferro, the residence of Mr. Stephens, kept not back. In swelling the torrent that was rapidly enlarging at every point and Increaitng at every stopping place. When wo reached Augusta we sup posed that our number had reached about FOUB HUNDRED. We. found the city In great commotion, all life, persons running In direction entry rich, the poor, the merchants, the me chanic, the professional man, the Di vine, the young, the old, and In fact everybody seemed to Join the univer sal jubilee. At about three o'clock on Tuesday the 29th, the cannon fired, when otte universal rtah was made for the up per part of the city, when he waa to enter. As the open Barrouche that contained him, drawn by four beauti ful Kentucky bays, pained down Broadway the crowd became Immense, the Ladles, too from every window honored him with their cheering ap probation which was often returnea by him with repuated bows of ac knowledgment of the honor that everyone seemed willing und anxious to accord. After passing down Broad way as far as the lower market, he was conveyed to the city hall, where the people by this time bad ussemDlea end from all parts to witness the en trance of Mr. Clay; men of all parties and of every condition In life; the in great numbers. From tho calcula tion we made by counting the number on a certain space, and the extent of ground oscupied, we presumea that there could not have been less than FIVE THOUSAND people. At this place he was welcomed by an address from Henry Camming, Esq., whlMl from its great length, we thought fli bad taste, the remarks however were chased clothed In eloquent language. Mr. Cummlng's manner Is uninterest ing as a public speaker, though lie has the reputation ot being a first rate lawyer. After he concluded Mr. Clay then addressed the people In a speech of about one hour and three- quarters In length. Of his oratory It is useless to speak, we could not begin to give a description; to appreciate him, however, you must have a full view of his face, as he oftentimes ex presses as much by the countenance as be does by his language. At times he Is very severe, yet such Is the plessuntness of his msnner, and the kindness of bis heart, that even his opponents who are the vic tims of his withering satire, feel din- posed to thank him, for the manner in which they had been executed. He uttered not a word at which anyone could take exceptions, and from the boldness and Independence wltn which he expressed his views upon the political topics of the day, at traded the admiration of everyone We were more delighted at his man ner and his frank and honest expres sion of his views upon all the ques tions upon which be touched than we anticipated. In seeing and hearing a man of such distinction ss Mr. Clay’s, expectations are often rslsed higher, than are generally sustained, but we hnxard nothing In giving it as bur was disat Hancock Gets Homer Dou ble and Single—Cox Bro thers, Battery Works Well opinion that no one was disappoints. Today (Wednesday) haa baen taken up In calling upot. Mr. Clay at the Masonic Hall, most everyone aeemea anxious to receive an Introduction to the distinguished statesman and tht general Joy so apparent yesterday 11 still bright upon the countenance ot all. This evening, the ladles will can upon him at the samo place and on tomorrow evening a public ball will be given. Mr. Clay under all tne cir cumstances bears bis journey admira bly, the (attgue however attemlW-n upon so much distinction as Is paid him wherever he goes,* has determin ed him to decline vlaltlng Madlsoe and Greensboro. We regret very much that the ex pectation of the people In that quar ter has been disappointed, yst upflti the whole we think It best that he should decline his Intended visit. Ho far nothing has happened to mar the enjoyment and we truat that the en thusiasm that his visit bss brought forth will be long remembered. It has been a proud week for Augusta and moat nobly have her hospitable citizens acquitted themselves through out the whole reception of our great and good Clay. POLITICAL MARRIAGE.—On Sat urday last, In this city by the Hev. Democratic Convention, Mr. Van Bu- rcnlsm, widower, to Miss Cslhounlsm. nplnzter. The bridegroom Is under stood to have ardently desired the union, but the amorous bride, using the privilege ot Leap Year, Jumpeo Into his loving arms, without (top ping to be asked. The dowry of the lady Is small, but moat welcome to the gentleman, whose affairs are reported to le tn a desperate atate of con- fuslor and dilapidation. It '■* to he hoped that no lighting or acrapplnt will mar the pleasures of the honey moon. Playing superb ball behind the steady pitching of "Suit’ Cox, the King-Hodgson nine gave the City Garage aggregation a rather severe drubbing Friday afternoon on Sanford Field to the tune of 9 to 0. Though the game was late getting started, the goodly number ot fans who attended saw a fair amount oi very good baseball before tho shafts’! of night brought an end to the en counter at the end of the stztn In ning. Two big innings for tne grocery boys, the second and the fourth, wltn a total of two runs in the former auu seven tn the latter, spelled the doom of the mechanics. The City Garage outfit made u hold attempt in the fourth, getting two men on with none out, but Cox struck out the next two up and the lust went out, second to first. That wps the only time the losers threatened. The individual star of the day was Guy lluucock, who slugged them right and left. Ho was up three times and out of the three trips to the plate negotiated a home run, a two-bagger anu u single—quite n nice afternoon's work. Copeland got n three-bagger and “.Sug” Cox a double. Double Play. Quite a nifty double play was work cd In the third Inning, when Cox caught a hot one off of George Han cock’s bat and threw Immediately to first, catching Williams. Klng-Hodgsou got two tallies in the second. Mapp, first up, connected safely and Hancock doubled and drove him across the plate, but got out try ing to stretch his double Into a triple. E. Fault, who followed Hancock, got on safely, but was out going to soc- ond. when McEntire grounded to short M. Faust hit safely and drove McEntire across for the second run of the Inning. The fourth inning was a track meet for the grocerymen. Every man qn the line-up had a chance, and Kil patrick had two chances. When tly. dust settled seven runs had been" ■cored. Malcolm, hurling for the -City Garage, started off well, but weaken ed. He gave up ten hits. Cox allowed four hits and struck out six men. The battrry of Cox and Cox, ’’Sug” on the meund and ’’Kit” behind the piste worked well together. The box (core and summary tot- low: Box Score. CITY GARAGE: G. Hancock, If 0 Malcolm, p 1 C.
