and President

said :
"1 admire and

the slightest degree for his attitude to

he Is not at all 'sore' on that gentle- I
man, and is cordially prepared to <•<>- |
operate with hint, while, at the same:
time, lie is equally as frank to show his
contempt for Mr. Bryan
"Mt. Clark is under an obligation of]
loyalty to Ills party to help the incom
ing president in his work; he is under
no sort of obligation to hint even a
feeling of friendship for Mr. Bryan.
"Mr. Clark evidently feels that there
was no dishonor attaching to Mr. Wil
son in the matter of his nomination at
Baltimore, but he justly feels that Mr.
Bryan, an instructed delegate in Mr.
('lark's favor, and alway s the object of
I Mr. Clark's friendship and help (when'
Clark's help and friendship meant I
much to Bryan t, played a perfidious I
part in seeking to wreck Mr. Clark’s j
honorable ambition to be Ills party's .
leader, and particularly when Mr. '

hud won a (lean-cut majority of the|

' ll may be that Mr. Bryan was >oek-I

Mr. Wilson, but the point is that Mr.

FITE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS TUESDAY. DECEMBER 31, 1912.
Secretary of St., . ppi) <' o ok likely
will ask (lovernm Brown to recommend
to the incoming legislature, in his mes
sage to be dt livei'ed as li< r» tires from
office, that it make a radical change in
tiie matter of automobile license and
registration in Georgia.
Mr. Cook believes that it is wrong
to charge a ti n registration fee of $2
for all motor cats and vohiebiis. par
ticularly in view of tile wide difference
in the cost of lite various cars.
"I think it is unfair to charge the
oWiler of a $375 runabout $2.” said Mr.
Cook today, 'ami at the same time
charge the owner of a $6,060 limousine
no more. 1 believe the license tax
should be graded and distributed equi
tably, and I am thinking of urging such
a view, with a pm]>o o of getting it en
acted into law."
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun advo
cates a constitutional convention for
Georgia, in order that the present In
strument may be revised rationally and
brought up to date.
Tiie Muscogee papt i is conservative
always, and the fact that it has taken
this stand, along with numerous con
temporaries'. indicates that the proposal
is being considered very seriously all
over tin 1 state.
A number of newspapers seem to
think that Georgia should have a con-
I stitutional convention, if for no other
| purpose than to get a new constitution,
j tnore difficult of amendment than the
l present tiling of shreds and patches.
It must be evident to the most casual
observer that Cooigia’s stately capitol
built some 30 years ago. 1- utterly inad
equate to tiie state’s necessities now
adays.
There have been several new depart
ments created since the capitol was
finished, and one new court of review
Besides tliat. the supreme court ha*
been doubled In size.
All of th. sc new departments and of
ficials had to be provided so., and HttL
Iby little the building has been packed
jlo overflowing, and now is crowded l<:
| the point of suffocation.
It has been suggested that relief
might be found by erecting an entirely
{new building foi the department of
jjustlv. exclusively , and if this'building
I were fa-liioned to include tiie library it
would make niuci, room in tiie old
building that is sadly needed. Rut
whether the relief In found in that way

somehow soon. No more expansion is

In A.iurica.
Cites Compliment
Taft Paid Police.
"Ptevident Taft said it v.as tiie best
regulated town he had ever seen. When
m was here lasi he noticed that tile
poiiemen were able to keep back the
crowds during the parade rvithout rop
ing off tite streets, and he commented
on their line work.
".Abolish the police coni.nission? The
nepartment hasn't been conducted so
harmoniously and so businesslike in
years.
"He says our policemen lack 'punch
and snap' Well, tile greatest part of
the work of our policemen is to catch
negroes We've got men yvho are ex
perts. 1 had rather have one of these
brave men than ten who stand up yvfth
awesome military bearing and then rpn
when a negro 'pulls’ a rock or a razor
on him. Our traffic officers are as good
as such officers in Netj' York."
Park Board Head
Resents Criticism.
President .1. o. t'oehran, of tile park
board, yvasr bitter in his reply to the
statement of Expert Sands that the
park board was useless and even re
tarded the work of the park depart
ment.
"He yvas hired to report certain
things, and those tilings he had to re
port.” said he.
"Outside of his recommendation that
tin- park board should be abolished, he
did not say anything that was not al
ready known. The trouble witli our
parks is lack of money. Why didn't he
tell us wliere to get mote money?”
t'olonel E. J. Paxon's Chamber of
Commerce committee on municipal re
search will consider the report at length
yvithin a few days. Then the report will
be subitted to council, through the city
board of municipal research.
Legislation Necessary
To Adopt Suggestions.
Council will have to get charter
amendments from the general assem
bly in order to adopt the more impor
tant provisions of the report.
Councilman Clarence Hayerty. chair
man of the city board of municipal re
search said today he was yvell pleased
with the report. He said it yvas full of
material for great good.
The report, of S. G. Lindholm, the ex
pert who investigated the schools and
health departments, is expected within
a few days. The Sands report may not
be submitted to council until the Lind
holm report also is ready.
