6 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. CHICAGO WIDOW ROBBED OF $5,660 AND WEDDING MILWAUKEE.

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.

FLOYD BONE. By JAMES B. NEVIN. I for congress at Eastanollee, Stephens county, Wednesday. The speaker manages to slip away be tween adjournment today and assembling tomorrow, to look after his fences now and them. Woodrow Wilson's "double" has been discovered in Pittsburg. Inevi tably, Wilson's "double" was to be smoked out somewhere, of course. Now that Governor Hooper, of Tennes see, has been put under extradition obli gations to Governor Blease, of South Carolina, friends of Thomas B. Felder, of Atlanta, are busy figuring out a new way for hitn to get to New York now and then—that is, a yray which leads neither through South Carolina or Tennessee. Some persons suspect Governor Blease of a deep laid plot to quarantine Mr. Fel der firmly In Georgia eventually, by plac ing the governors of all states touching 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 the worst comes to the worst, how ever, it still, will be possible for the At lanta man to get to New York by water. Thomas E. Watson is now advocat ing William H. Fleming for congress, thus demonstrating anew his remark able ability to Hoop-the-loop, if nec essary or desirable In his business. The Georgia "bull mooses,” that is. the majority of them who are running things, are firm In their determination to shut the Colored brother out of their organisa tion. It Is said that this particularly firm stand has been taken in Georgia in order to avoid embarrassment to the former president when he comes campaigning in Georgia soon, which he confidently expects to do. Mr. Roosevelt will make a bold and ag gressive bid for Georgia's vote tn the electoral college, claiming a fair share of Georgia’s consideration because it is his mother's state. His friends are said to realize that he can hope to make no headway InJJeor gia, unless he cuts loose absolute!)” from the negro—hence the pugnacious anti negro attitude of the Georgia "bull mooses." If it were not for the negro question, it is said there would be absolute harmony inside the ranks of the Georgia Roose veltites. A Georgii "bull moose" was arrest ed as a "blind tiger" recently. Looks as if it may yet be necessary to clas sify the "bull mooses" Into good "mooses" and bad "mooses." " MAKES HOOD HEALTHY FLESH Jacobs' Pharmacy Offers to Pay for Samose If It Fails.

The fourth member of the party swam ashore and was picked up in a deliri ous condition. The dead: Alta H. Robinson, of Pittsburg. Lillian Gustafson, of Spring Creek, ■Clarion county. Pa. William King, nf Wilmerding, Pa., of the Wilmerding K. of P. camp here. McKinney Ossuett, also of the -Wil merding camp, made the fourth mem ber of the row boat party. The lake was very rough, and as the waves be gan lapping over the gunwales the women became frightened, and in their panic rocked the boat, and it sank un der them. The women went down im mediately. King clung to the boat un til just before the arrival of a rescue party, but he was exhausted and went down too. Search is being made for the bodies. GIVES TAFT SSO, SECRETLY. WASHINGTON.

E. MARCUS CLOTHING COMPANY 57 PEACHTREE STREET MEN AND RELIGION BULLETIN NO. 9 11 • “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.
