The governor is one step near- ] er th-* control of the sheriffs of the different counties of the state j than he was up to yestereay. \ The senate yesterday had favor ably reported the Persons bill,] | which gives the governor the i authority to suspend a sheriff from office and relieve him if the j legislature orders it. President: Persons of the senate is the fath er of the bill. The president has been talking to the Atlanta Con stitution about this measure and j lie is quoted as saying: The purpose of the bill is to : give the governor some authority ] by which to conserve the peace, a duty which the constitution re quires of him. My bill, if enact ed into a law, will do away with ! the necessity of calling out the militia as Alabama had to do when it wanted to enforce the law in Russell county. Also, if Georgia should ever be cursed ! with a corrupt sheriff in league with the devil, an outlaw and a grafter, we want some law to get him out of office. President Persons is a very clear-headed and far-seeing statesman, and there are many people in Georgia who think the governor, or somebody, ought to have more authority over the sheriffs.—Savannah Press. Wilson Wise to Avoid War With Mexico. Denver, Col. Aug. B.—That President Wilson had wisely avoided war with Mexico because there are 400,000 Japanese sol diers in Mexico and that both Germany and Japan are planning to overthrow the Monroe Doctrine and war with Mexico would mean war with both those countries, were assertions made by Faank Vrooman of Washington, D. C., Democratic national committee man, before the Colorado Demo cratic Assembly here to-day. He added that there are more able bodied Japanese in California than soldiers in the United Sta tes regular army. Wasting Great Talent In Capitol Lobbies. Speaker Burwell is finding that legislation is one of the least of the worries among the legislators. He is continually having to lock the doors and threaten arrest in order to obtain a quorum. Often, according to reports, the disorder is such that business cannot be’ transacted. It would not matter very much, if these Georgia so lons were just ordinary men whose lawmaking could be dis pensed with at no detriment to the state; but they are known to be men of great learning and wisdom and patriotism, and the people of Georgia hate to see such talent going to waste in the lobbies of the state house. — Sa vannah News.
