STATE MANSION
SW DEBATED
Three Deals to Dispose of Gov
ernor’s House Before the
Georgia Legislature.
With th*- ar.d hou»p commit-
■ tees’ playing at <ros«-purposes’, it !.’
fe. doubtful if the present legislature will
3 hit upon a scheme for the disposal of
the executive mansion at F’.»achtree and
if- C'ain streets.
Several arrangements have been pro.
K. posed and at least tinee of them are
Si now before the lawmakers. Senator
<•
E« Copelan. chairman of the committee on
public buildings in the upper house,
wants the state to swap the mansion
i for the Peters proper!v in Peachtree
street adjoining th. Georgian Terrace
hotel. Representative Allen is urging
a resolution for the sale of the man
sion at public auction for a sum not
less than 1400,n0n. If this plan falls,
Allen wants to lease the mansion to the
B M. Grant Company and purchase the
English property at 468 Peachtree
street.
It Is evident that the Cop.lan plan
to swap for the Peters tract and a boot
of 1100.000 will receive l oneftleratlon In
the senate and may pass but the rules
committee c,f the house has failed as
yet to listen to Allen. His resolution
has not been placed on the calendar.
In view of the fact that the house is
loaded with senate hills still to be acted
on and that the senate will have its
hands full with rhe special appropria
tion bills soon to come from the house,
a settlement of the mansion dispute Is
very doubtful.
Legislators, at least thow> members
nf the public buildings committees who
have wrestled with the disposal ques
tion. are willing for a succeeding legis
lature to settle the matter.

in withdrawing. Mr. Fleming gave to
I the public a pa t t ieularly frank, lucid
ianfl mank card He found that it
would be impossible to continue his
fight without intensifying the bitterness
alrcad; rampant throughout his dis
trict. In retiring he seeks to deliver a
message of peace and good will that
I should, and doubtless w ill, commend
him most cordially and sincerely to the
high esteem and respect of his con
st intents
In his card Mr Fleming pays a re
ma kable and splendid—and des 'ved
tribute to Tom Watson. He and Wat
son were sot years the most Implacable
of enemies Watson, indeed, was the
direct influence that removed Fleming
from congress Just when his career
was rounding into its finest form.
During all these years of retirement
Fleming has asked no quarter of his
enemies. He has held a dignified
silence, and trusted time to right the
wrong of the long ago. When recently
Watson, of his own accord, came to
Fleming and asked forgiveness for the
injury of the past and sought to right It
in such measure as h" might. It touched
a tender spot In Fleming's heart, and
he responded to the advances of the
‘red-headed one," and agreed to l n t
bygones be bygones
William H Fleming is one of Geor
gia’s brainiest and soundest men He
deserves much more than he ever has
received. Georgia would profit by
Fleming's presence in congress, and
thousands of Georgians would have
been pleased to see him returned.
However that max be —and some will
view It one way, the while others view
It another it will seem to many that
Mr. Fleming's recent brief participa
tion in the polities of the Tenth was
wort li while, after all. for it has cleared
up the atmosphere down that wav. in ;i
I measure- and that was something
worth the trouble of doing. •
In retiring. Mr Fleming takes high
and dignified ground. He gets out
gracefully, and with added prestige.
It costs a pretty penny to play the
game of politics nowadays, anyway you
look at it.
One would think that so high and
mighty an office as United States sena
tor, with all of Its great dignity and so
forth, might be sought with compara
tively little expense—ls one were care
less in his thinking but It Is not so.
It costs to be a senator —even to ask to
lie made a senator.
Colonel H H. Perry, who aspires to

They framed up a smooth trick on
the Honorable Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb,
in the house of representatives Mon
day.
The gentleman from Bibb, as all the
world knows, is a candidate for gov
ernor and he spent all last week
stumping south Georgia. Inevitably, in
those < ireumstanci s. he was conspicu
ous by his absence from the house.
"Old Joe Hill Hall had no business
being away from here last week." said a
member yesterday -morning, "and there
are a number of things up that he
should have taken a stand on I even
think he may have been dodging iiere,
ratliei than speaking yonder. I am go

man, for if the house refuses him per

And the tiling was fixed so that mem
bers could not explain their votes—and
true to prediction. Joe Hill Hall ex
plained every vote he east under the

Mr. Newsome, of Glascock, delivered
an eloquent oration in the house Mon

The gentleman was unusually elo

ent that the failure of the legislature to
repeal that tax would hurt Mr. New

might drive him to strong drink
Inquiry of Mr. Newsome as to why
the thusness of his oratorical flight
brought forth the candid and entirely

CHURCHILL ESCAPES
SUFFRAGETTE “MOB”
BY SPEEDING UP CAR
LONDON, Aug. 13.—First Lord of
the Admiralty Winston Churchill was
today "held up" by suffragettes while
automobiling toward Sandwich.
Mr. Churchill's car suddenly was sur
rounded by women on bikes, who had
apparently followed from London. They
began to shout “Votes for women!"
Deeming flight advisable. Churchill,
disregarding the chauffeur's fears for
the women, gave orders for full speed
ahead, and the ear soon outdistanced
the women, who were soon winded by
their furious pedaling and their contin
ued screams of “Votes for women!"
One suffragette was knocked from
her wheel when the automobile started,
but no one was hurt.

' ODELL TO BE QUIZZED
I ON HARRIMAN’S HUGE
1908 CAMPAIGN CHECK
W ASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—The sub
■ committee of the senate committee in-
I vostigrating campaign expenses will call
! former Governor Odell of New York,
j It was Odell who obtained from E. H
Harriman the famous contribution of
$-150,006 for the Republican party.
I he decision to call him was reached
today after Representative James T.
Floyd, of Missouri, of the Democratic
congressional committee in 1908, had
testified. Representative Lloyd told the
committee that the contributions for
that year amounted to about $27,000
and the expenditures- were within a few
dollars of that amount.
He recalled that $7,000 was obtained
through the sale of campaign litera
ture. $1.6000 of which came from
f harles E. Keane, of New York, for
speeches which he wanted distributed,
and $1,395 from the sale of the cam
paign book which was compiled from
The Congressional Record.
From the house of representatives, in
sums ranging from $25 to S2OO. Mr.
Lloyd said a total of $6,750 was ob
tained. Only two of the representa
tives. however, contributed S2OO. They
were Champ Clark and Francis Burton
Harrison, of New York.
Through the late Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, there Was contributed a to
tal of $3,500, and from Hermann Rid
der, of New York; W. G. Conrad, of
Montana, and R F. Daniel, of Ken

The “man higher up’’ may not be known. >
He need never be seen.
Annas, of Jerusalem, was pastmaster of the art.
Politicians were alarmed. $
But Caiaphas, mouthpiece for Annas, said: “Ye know nothing at ’
all—it is expedient for you that one man die.’’ 7 «
And they dragged Jesus to Pilate, the Roman official.
“I find no crime in Him,’’ said the Roman.
Annas, unseen, here struck with the club of practical politics. - 1
His heelers roared, “Crucify! Crucify! If thou release this man
thou art not a friend of Caesar!’’
Loss of office, vanishing graft loomed horribly before Pilate.
Throttling conscience and law, he sent Jesus to the cross.
Simply a tool in the hands of Annas, the wretched man, like An
nas, thought only that he had overcome another obstacle by practical
expediency, the sacrifie of one who had neither friends nor influence.
They saw not higher up. above all, God!
Father forbid that we be so blind! ’
“What is this history of Fantine?’’ asked Victor Hugo. “It is
society buying a slave.’’
“From whom? From misery.’’
“The sale of a soul for a bit of bread.’’ /
Mouthpieces sneer, “You know nothing at all; it is expedient that r
some girls fall that many may be pure.’’
“Whited sepulchers’’ poison the air with their expediency.
And without Pilate’s battle with conscience, public officials are
saying, “Neither laws nor morals justify the houses; their sacrifice of ’
girls is frightful; but it is expedient we have the houses in our
midst.”
The pressure of unseen “men higher up” is felt.
Sepulcher-born expediency finds utterance. •:
Hear it!
“Mothers bid your daughters be pure! »
“But forget that more than forty-four houses, dependent for ex- T
istence upon making girls impure, wait for them with open doors!
“Officers touch not our landlords and the men living bv buvine
and selling women! 8
“But arrest yonder little street walker; slaves may not be seen out
of bounds!
“We have provided a district, a public market place, where the
select may buy and sell.
“Efficient policemen patrol it.
“These,will see that spenders and buyers suffer no harm at the
hands of our white slaves.”
Surely God, above all, has been forgotten! v
Will we-shall our city endure the continuance of this unspeaka
ble shame? /
In Christ’s Name, No!
