MP DEBUTED
Three Deals to Dispose of Gov
ernor’s House Before the
Georgia Legislature.
With th* -• ’ .Ite i■' »s® ■ omtnit-
tees playing nt < toss-purposes. it is
doubtful if the present legislature will
bi| upon a scheme for the disposal of
the executive mansion a- Peachtree and
Cain streets
Several arrangements hav« been pro.
posed and at leas: three of them are
now before the lawmakers. Senator
Copelan. (hairman of the committee on
public buildings m the upper house,
wants the state to swap the mansion
for the Peters property In Peachtree
street adjoining the Georgian Terrace
hotel. Representative Allen Is urging
a resolution for the sale of the man
sion at public auction fpr a sun not
less than $400,600. If this plan fails,
Allen wants to lease lite mansion to the
B. M Grant Compant and purchase the
English property nt 468 Peachtree
street.
It is evident that the Copelan [dan
to swap for the Peters tract and a boot
of SIOO,OOO will receive consideration in
file senate and may pass but the rules
committee r.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 w ith senate bills still to be acted
on and that the senate will have its
hands full with the special appropria
tion bills soon to come from the house,
a settlement of the mansion dispute is
very doubtful.
Legislators, at least those members
of the public buildings committees who
have wrestled with the disposal ques
tion. are willing for a succeeding legis
lature to settle the matter.

ON GEORGIA POLITICS
i William H Fleming has withdrawn
I from lhe race for congress in the Tenth
idistrict. and thus Insures Mr. Harcl-
I wick’s unopposed return to Washington
as his own successor.
In withdrawing. Mr. Fleming gave to
the public a particularly frank, lucid
and manly card. He found that It
would be impossible to continue his
tight without intensifying the bitterness
already rampant throughout his dis
trict. In retiring he seeks to deliver a
message of peace and good will that
should, and doubtless will, commend
him most cordially’ and sincerely to the
high esteem and respect of his con
stituents.
In his card .Mr. Fleming pays a re
markable and splendid and deserved
tribute to Tom Watson He and Wat
son were for wears 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 field 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 "( the past and sought to right It
in such measure as h<- might. It touched
a tender spot In Flemings heart, and
he responded to the advances of the
"red-headed one.” and agreed Io let
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 may 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 politics of the Tenth was
wot t II while, afler all. for It has cleared
up the atmosphere down that way. in :i
measure—and that was something
worth the trouble of doing
In retiring. Mr Fleming lakes 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

the Honorable Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb,
in the house of representatives Mon
day
The gentleman front Bibb, as all the
world knows, is a candidate for gov
ernor and he spent all last week
stumping south Georgia. Inevitably in
those circumstances. he was conspicu
ous by his absence from the bouse.
"old Joe Hill Hall had no business
being away from here last week." said a
member yesterday morning "and there
are a number of tilings up that he
should have taken a stand on I even

And the thing was fixed so that mem

! ODELL TO BE QUIZZED
ON HARRIMAN'S HUGE
1908 CAMPAIGN CHECK
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.—The suh-
I committee of the senate committee in
vestigating campaign expenses will call
former Governor Odell of New York.
It was Odell who obtained from E H
Harriman the famous contribution of
$250,000 for the Republican party.
The 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 wore 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
Charles 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
tucky. contributions of $250 each were
received.

“The Houses in our Midst”
“The Man Higher Up”
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.”
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. /
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
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
istence upon making girls impure, wait for them with open poors’
"Officers touch not-our landlords and the men living by buying
and selling women!
“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!
Will we—shall our city endure the continuance of this unspeaka
ble shame?
In Christ’s Name, No!
Atlanta should and will close the houses in our midst.
