NEW YORK. Dec. 31. —The wing? of
the “stormy petrel" of South America
were clipped today when he arrived
here In the person of Cipriano Castro,
former president of Venezuela. The
clipping operation was performed by
United States Immigrant inspectors,
who met the fallen dictator when he
reached port on the French liner La-
Tourralne and escorted General Castro,
who was traveling under tin name of
“L. Ruiz." to Ellis Island. There It--
was given the quarters formerly occu
pied by Prince Pignatelii DeArgon.t.l
cousin of the king of Spain, and there
he must remain until a board of in
quiry decides whether, as has been • -
ported, he Is suffering from an incur
able disease. If his health Is found sat
isfactory he will undoubtedly be turned
back on the ground that he is an un
desirable visitor.
General Castro was greatly perturbed
a hen he was greeted by the immigra
tion Inspectors at Quaiantini He: con
sented to go to Ellis Island without
physical persuasion, but expressed his
indignation in forceful terms, saying:
“If those are your laws. I must com
ply.
“Let them cover up lite statue of lib
erty enlightening the world if they de
tain tne. I am not aiming to come to
the United States ns a revolutionary or
one planning to restore himself to pow
er in Venezuela. 1 am merely here as
an observer, who wishes to see lite na
tion of Lincoln, Washington and Jef
ferson. I would be Insane If I were to
try to foment insurrection from the
United States. The supposition is ab
surd."

the slightest d, gree for his attitude to
ward Mr. Bryan. H, does not hesitate
to siiow that he wiii do his best to make
Wilson's administration a success; that
he is not at all ‘sore’ on that gentle
man, and is cordially prepared to co
operate witii hlin, while, at the same
time, lie is equally as frank to Show ills
contempt for Mr. Bryan.
"Mr. Clark is under an obligation of
loyalty to his 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 lie justly feels that Mr.
Bryan, an instructed delegate in Mr.
Clark's favor, and always the object of
Mr. Clark's friendship and help (when
Clark's help and friendship meant
much to Bryant, played a perfidious
part in seeking to wreck Mr. Clark’s
honorable ambition to be his party’s
leader, and particularly when Mr.
Clark, in fair and free primary action,
had won a clean-cut majority of the
convention’s delegates.
'•it may be that Mr. Bryan was seek
ing to nominate Mr. Bryan rather than
Mr. Wilson, but the point is that Mr.
Bryan was an instructed Clark dele

seek tile nomination of any one other

disappointed in him if he were weak
Enough to express anything other than
his real feeling of genuine contempt
atm repugnance for Mr. Bryan.
“Mr. <'lark is required, in his work

I never before had been denied an as-

| Secretary of State Phil Cook likely
will ask Governor Brown to recommend
to the incoming legislature, in his mes
sage to be delivered as he retires from
office, that it make a radical change In
the matter of automobile license and
registration in Georgia.
Mr. Cook believes that it is wrong
to charge a flat registration fee of $2
for all motor ears and vehicles, par
ticularly in view of the wide difference
in the cost of the various cars.
“I titink it is unfair to charge, the
owner of a $375 runabout $2.” said Mr.
Cook today, "and at the same time
charge the owner of a $6,000 limousine
no more. I believe the license tax
should be graded and distributed equi
tably, and I am thinking of urging such
a view, with a purpose 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
1 brought up to date.
The Muscogee paper is conservative
’ always, and the fact that it has taken
' this stand, along with numerous con
’ tempofliries, indicates that the proposal
’ is being considered very seriously all
' over the state.
A number of newspapers seem to
think that. Georgia should have a con
stitutional convention, if for no other
1 purpose than to got a new constitution,
’ more difficult of amendment than the
present thing of shreds and patches.
>
r It must be evident to the most casual
- observer that Georgia’s stately capitol,
i built some 30 years ago, is utterly inad-
■equate to the slate's necessities now-I
adays.
I There have been several new depart-I
i meats i : eated since the cupitol was!
i finished, and one new court of review. I
; Beside? that, ah, supreme court has
| been doubled in size.
.'.ll of these new departments and of-|
: licit:!:' had to be provided for, and little
' by little the building has been packed
> ■ to overflowing, and now is crowded to
’the point of suffocation.
It has been suggested that relief
' might be found by erecting an entirely
; new building for the department of
1 justice exclusively, and if this building
were fashioned to include the library' it
would make much room in the old
> building that is sadly needed. Bui
whether the relief be found in that way
or si tne other, relief must be found
■ somehow soon. No more expansion Is
possible inside the old capitol.
When the legislature is in session
i the va iou- bouse committees are forced
I for the want of committee rooms to
I meet wherever they can get together
i J frequently in a corner of tfie hall of the
house of representatives, or to the right
or left of the speaker’s stand, as the
case may be.
In all probability, the incoming leg
islature will be asked to provide more
room for the state departments, and
. probably by building an annex.
Governor Brown's statement that
Georgia does not want the 75 murder-
■ ers, thugs ami highwaymen recently
pardoned bx Governor Biease, of South
Carolina, on condition that they “leave
the state immediately,” is generally ap-
• proved by the Georgia press.
If Blea.se desires to turn them out of
. the penitentiary of the Palmetto state
. he has the power and authority to do it,
but Governor Brown's objection to his
doing it on “condition" that they flock i
1 to Georgia, or some other nearby state.'
• Is indorsed heartily.
And, anyway, those that do flock to
Georgia will do well to walk the strait
. and narrow path, for if they get in the
r “pen" in this state they likely will stay
put!
