"Depopulate thq country and build

Mr. Logan declares that It is human
nature for people to crowd Into the
cities and that the question Is n«»t only
tut American but a world problem,
which "will adjust itself along with still
greaier powers of production and bold,
er political efforts to secure to the pro
ducer a larger share In the fruits of
his labor."
Mr. Fleming thinks that the problem
is a very grave one and makes the In
teresting suggestion that young men
Should return to the farm, but before
doing so, should take the course In
farming offered by the State Agricul
tural college at Athens. He further
urges that the Georgia legislature ex
pend the work of jhe agricultural col-
x lege so that short term schools for

where there Is a guarantee of sufficient

Mr. Orr thinks that the problem Is a

five years the movement back to the

Not a Republican Voted With
Idaho Senator Against
Measure—Tirade
Against Lee.
Washington, Fob. 8.—Senator Bank-
head. of Alabama, succeeded In getting
before the senate yesterday afternoon
the resolution which Senator Heyburn,
of Idaho, objected to on Saturday, pro
viding that the war department ehall
loan certain tents, blankets and other
military material for the use of Con
federate veterans at the general reun
ion to be held In Mobile. Ala., next
April.
Senator Bankhead forced a record
vote on consideration, and even Sena
tor Heyburn did not oppose It. When
the resolution was laid before the sen
ate Senator Heyburn entered a vigor
ous objection to the passage of the res
olution.
He proceeded to deliver a most bit
ter sectional speech. In which he de
clared his unwillingness to forgive the
onfederacy. Individuals, he said,
make mistakes which could be forgiven,
but heVould not pardon errors so grave
as those committed by the Southern
states. He spoke with Intense feeling,
turning and facing the Democratic side
f the house. The situation on the floor
was very tense.
Flaunts Bloody 8Hirt.
The majority of the Republicans In
the house expressed regret that Sena
tor Heyburn has seeif HI to express
himself so bitterly. Pacing up and
down the senate chamber, wildly
swinging bis arms and pounding his
desk. Mr; Heyburn exclaimed with
great sarcasm and bitterness:
"You senators who want to see the
rebel flag floating over the property of
the United States by act of congress
vote for this resolution.”
e added that It seemed to him thnt
the concrete wisdom of the part of the
South would dictate a policy of con
tentment rather than aggression: they
hould he glad they were hack In the
Union and not seek to bring up such
questions ns tills, reviving old Issues,
before congress.
Denounced General Lee.
Heyburn then tuYned hls attention to
General Robert E. Lee and denounced
him for having taken part |n the Con
federacy after receiving hie education
In West Point.
I ask,” he said, "that you take away
hls figure In Htatuary hall. It Is not
dear to the American people, tho It
may he dearest of all to you. Take It
your homes and worship It If you
will, but do not Impose It upon the
American people. Do not, for God’s
soke, start, the spirit again which re
sulted tn euch horrible carnage.”
Senator Bankhead, of Alabama, re
plied to this, and said:
I believe that the senator from
Idaho feels much better now, and I ask
for nn aye and nay vote."
