doubtful if the pr> s< n: .. J ituro will

Several arrangements have been pro
posed and at least three of them are
now before the lawmakers. Senator
Copelan. chairman of the committee on
public buildings in the upper house,
wants the state to swap the mansion
for the Peters propertv in Peachtree
street adjoining the Georgian Terrace
hotel. Representative Allen Is urging
a resolution forth, sale of the man

Allen wants to lease the mansion to the

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
, William I! Fleming has withdrawn
from the rat e for congrers In the Tenth
• 1 <li-• t-|«‘t. and thus insures Mr. Harri
tt i' i. - unopposed return tt> Washington
la.- his own sin l essor.
In w ithdr.i wing, Mr Fleming gave to
the publi a particularly frank, lucid
and manly card He found that it
would b< impossible to continue his
fight w ithout Intensifying the bitterness
already rampant throughout his dis
trict In retiring he seeks to deliver a
I message of peace and good will that
' 1 should, and doubtless w ill, commend
him mo t <■ rdially and sincerely to the
high esteem and respect of his con
stituents.
In his card Mr. Fleming pays a re
mo'k.iblc and splendid—and deserved
i tribute to TAtn Watson. He and Wat
son were for tears the most implacable
of enemies Watson, Indeed, was the
direct influence that removed Fleming
I 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
eneml-s. He has held a dignified
silence, and trusted lime 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 he might. It touched
a tender spot in Fleming's heart, and
he responded to the advances of the
"red-headed one,” and agreed to 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
boon pleased to see him returned.
However that may lie —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
worth w hile, after all. for it has cleared
up the atmosphere down that way. in a
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, w ith all of its great dignity' and so
forth, might be sought with compara
tively little expense - if one were care
less In bls thinking—but it Is not so.
It costs to be a senator—even to ask to
be made a senator.
Colonel H. 11. Ferry, who aspires to
Senator Racon's seat, has filed an ex
pense account of $4,058.61, and the
Items scheduled cover traveling ex
penses and publicity only—perfectly
legitimate and necessary’ expenses.
Senator Racon has spent about half
as much.
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 circumstances, 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—l even
think lie may have been dodging here,
rather than speaking yonder. I am go
ing to fix him. I am going to ask the
rules committee to fix it so that mem
bers will lie refused permission to ex
plain their votes—that will get the old
man, for If the hous> refuses him per
mission to explain, he will explain every
vote he casts, In spite of the warm
place and high water!"
And the thing was fixed so that mem
bers could not explain their votes and
true to prediction, Joe Hill Hall ex
plained every vote he cast under the
operation of the rule, in the teeth of
the house and despite Its most stern
decree.
When the gentleman from Ribb starts
out to explain or protest, all the rules

CHURCHILL ESCAPES
SUFFRAGETTE “MOB”
BY SPEEDING UP CAR
LONDON, Aug. 13.—First Ixari of
the Admiralty Winston Churchill was
today "held up" by suffragettes wdiile
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 car soon outdistanced
the women, who were soon winded by
their furious pedaling and their contin
ued screams of “Votes for womenl”
One suffragette was knocked from
her wheel when the automobile started,
but no one was hurt.

ODELL TO BE QUIZZED
ON HARRIMAN’S HUGE
1908 CAMPAIGN CHECK
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.—The sub
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.
1 he decision to call him was reached
today after Representative James T.
•loyd, 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
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, Godl
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 doors!
“Officers touch not our landlords and the men living bv buvinir
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.
