TIPPINS BILL IS
SENT TO BROWN
*
Speculation as to What Gov
ernor Will Do With Measure
Still Varied.
The Tippins bill, passed by both the
house and the senate by more than a
two-thirds vote, has been engrossed
and went to the. governor for his con
sideration todaj.
Under the law, the governor lias five
days in which either to reject it or
sign it. and those five days include the
day It reaches him. but do not include
Sunday.
It therefore must get back to the
house in which It originated not Inter
than Wednesday, In the event of a veto.
Unless the governor signs or vetoes
It within the prescribed five days, the
bill will become a law automatically,
and with the governor's constructive
but not recorded approval.
Speculation as to what the governor
will do with the Tippins bill is varied.
In the main, he Is expected to veto it
outright, but there are those who be
lieve he will veto it conditionally—that
he it back with the sugges
tion he will approve it if the ref
erendum clause IS added There are
still others who believe he will sign
the bill as it stands, but these are in a
decided minority.
Be Called at Once
When the bill comes back to th
house vetoed. If it does so come, it will
be called up at once. It will be a priv
ileged document and entitled to im
mediate consideration.
The house may do what It pleases
withv’t It may pass the bill over the
executive veto by a two-tbirds vote, it
may table it, or it may dispose of it by
accepting the governor’s objections as
valid and specifically sustaining them.
If the house sustains the governor,
that will be the end of the bill. If it
overrides him, the bill will then go to
the senate, where the procedure will
be the same as in the house, whatever
the result may be,
If either house sustains the governor
It will kill the Jaw, regardless of how
thfr other house may vote. It takes a
concurrent two-thirds vote to override.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
Mr Beck, of Brooks, who is a candi
date for state school superintendent, is
old in educational work and probably has
a wider acquaintance with men in va
rious walks of life in Georgia today than
any man in the house of representatives.
Mr. Beck was for a number of years
a teacher in the North Georgia Agricul
tural college at Dahlonega, and as such
instructed boys who nowadays are bank
ers. doctors, merchants, lawyers, and
some few politicians, scattered not only
all over Georgia, but all over the United
States. Al one time she North« Georgia
Agricultural college was easily one of the
most popular and numerously attended
Institutions of learning In this section, and
there were few Georgia towns that did
not have from one to a dozen or more
students there. ?
Mr. Beck talks Interestingly of "his
boys” of those old days, and estimates
that there are living throughout the
South, largely In Georgia, more than
eight thousand of his former pupils.
The Honorable Joe Hill Hall flew
the Atlanta coop the very day the
Macon boosters came to town. Does
the gentleman know when he has had'
enough of chasing a forlorn hope?
Representative Hollis, of’ Taylor, al
ways gets the particularly glad hand of
applause when he arises to speak on the
floor of the house
Mr. Hollis is a very engaging speaker,
partly because of what he does say and
partly because of what he doesn't.
The gentleman is very earnest, but not
of fluent speech. He manages most ex
traordinarily now and then to get the
cart before the horse in speaking, and to
forget where he started before he gets
where he is going.
He is Invariably good-natured about it,
and laughs at himself when he finds him
self lost In a wilderness of words from
which he sees no escape.
Mr. Speaker," he said a day or so ago,
”1 wish to state as one of the great rea
sons why I oppose this bill is that, Mr
Speaker, I vote aye.”
Then Mr. Hollis sat down in great con
tusion- as he always does but happy
and the house laughed, as it alwajca does,
and secretly voted Mr. Hollis a pretty
good sort, anyway, if he does get the
king's English twisted seventeen ways for
Sunday, every time he undertakes .to
orate.
"A lot of eloquence has been wasted
this year on bills that didn't pass,”
observes a Georgia contemporary.
Wasted ?
‘'This.” said a member of the house
yesterday, "is a house that favors cut
ting off revenue and piling up expense.
"book at the bills that have passed, or
will pass, that will chop off revenue that
nobody seems worried about replacing.
"The Tippins bill cuts off lota of reve
nue, the ’farmers' free list,' So tallied,
cuts off revenue, the proposed repeal of
the dog tax cuts off revenue.
"Regardless of the merits of these bills,
and other bills, where is the state going
to get the money with which to pay the
appropriations?
"The house killed a proposed constitu
tional amendment to raise temporarily
lhe tax limit from 5 to 6 mills. I think
the house did well to do that. The inno
vation was dangerous. No telling where
the legislature would stop, once it em
barked on such a course as that.
"Still, where is the money coming
front, when It comes time to pay the
state's bills? I'm hanged If I know. It's
all very well, perhaps, to chop off tainted
money.' or whatever you call it, right and
left. But with always cutting off and
never adding on, why—er—whither are
we drifting, anyway?" concluded this
member.
Speaker John N. Holder delivered an
address in the interest of his candidacy

Some persons suspect Governor Blease
of a deep laid plot to quarantine Mr. Fel

Georgia under such obligations In the
matter of granting extradition papers
that they can not well refuse Blease when
Blease calls for the transfer of Felder.

If it were not for the negro question, it
is said there would be absolute harmony

“The Houses in Our Midst”
The Disregard of Law by
Men Sworn to Enforce It
Produces Brutality and Crime.
A group of men were gathered in the so-called “restricted dis
trict” of a neighboring Georgia town.
A negro stood holding a light.
White men held a white woman.
Another beat her until her bare flesh was a bruised mass of blood.
. They say she had infatuated a young man.
Years ago, a number of men, some prominent in church life,
caught a woman.
Dragging her, they came crying, “Master, this woman hath been
taken—in the very act—Moses commanded us to stone such. What then
sayest thou of her?”
Jesus answered, “He that is without sin amongst you, let him first
cast a stone.”
And beginning with the eldest, they slipped away.
Jesus, looking up, asked, “Woman, where are they? Did no man
condemn thee?”
“No man, Lord.”
“Neither do I condemn thee; go thy way; from henceforth sin no
more.”
Another day in Simon’s house, one of them wept at the feet of Je
sus; Pharisee Simon was inexpressibly shocked that He should let a
woman of the streets touched Him.
But He said to her, “Thy sins are forgiven: Thy faith hath saved
thee,* Go in peace.”
Pharisee Simon’s pained modesty is not so often remembered as is
the pure brutality of those who in the name of law would have stoned
the woman.
With this living truth as to the sin of us all, many defenders of the
Houses in our Midst try to give life to a lie and make it appear that
war on the owners of the houses is an effort to hurt the women.
And they get help from the cold hypocrisy of the numberless suc
cessors of Pharisee Simon.
I
These are they who say it is folly to try to help the inmates of the
Houses in our Midst.
They see not that their hardness of heart is worse than the sin of
the women.
Protected by these two classes of men, promoters of vice have al
most succeeded in making men forget that the safety of pure women,
as well as that of those who have fallen by the treachery of men, de
pends upon the enforcement of law.
* «
The beating of a . white woman in the light of a lamp held in a ne
gro’s hand is the fruit of the toleration of the houses in defiance of the
law.
Other men’s sons may run to ruin on the crimson path through the
district, but when your boy is lost there, like the father, you will cry:
“The woman has ensnared him.”
No longer then will the evil appear necessary.
And doubtless were you the father of the girl so cruelly beaten, re
membering when you held her a baby in your arms, you would agree
that it is monstrous for men to say that this shame is necessary.
In such hours, men, taught disrespect for law by those sworn to
‘enforce it, take law into their own hands and add cruel crime to dis
graceful crime.
Our city officials in our name are sowing seed which can bring
only corruption and disgrace.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sow
eth that shall he also reap.”
Before the harvest, tiny shoots appear in the field.
Look about you!
A night not long ago a naked woman with head bleeding from
the blow of a beer bottle in the hands of a man ran through our streets.
She was crying for death and begging that her mother might not
know.
Some men, grown familiar with tolerated vice, smiled at the scene.
Not many weeks past the body of a man killed in one of the
Houses in our Midst in a dispute over the payment for beer was
borne to his friends and family.
God alone knows the full harvest to be inevitably gathered by
Atlanta from this willful disregard of law and the cultivation of the
root of the evil, the Houses in our Midst, by those sworn to suppress
them.
