INTI STATUTE
Enacted Under Two Administra

Before Georgia Legislature.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
(Governor Brown's now famous

;,.,ently sjiarply criticised by the
i porgia Federation <tf Bailor in Au

” as the outcome of a certain legisla

Whatever the merits of the legisla
tion in uuestion, the statement that it
was "slipped into the statute hooks”
s hardlv warranted, since it was en-
;1( ,ted tinder the eye of two separate
administrations, and after thirteen
months of consideration
In order that the records of this
legislation may be kept perfectly
straight, and the absolute truth of it
i,o preserved, it may be written that
ihe bill enacting this military legis-
under which the troops were
ordered out in Augusta, was intro
duced by Senator Spence, of the
Tenth District, and was read the first
time July 18, 1911—when (loverttor
Smith was in the executive office.
Senator Spence was a Smith partisan
in that legislature.
The bill was read the second time
i u lv 21, 1911, and read the third anti
last time in t:'\e. Senate August 1.
lull, and passed by ao vote of 37 to
0
It was read in the House the first
I time August 4. 1911: read the second
' time August 10, 1911: and finally read
and passed August 13. 1912, a year
later, by a vole of 110 to 9 When It
I passed, Governor Brown was in the
' executive office.
The bill was enacted, therefore, by
an almost unanimous vote of both
houses of the legislature, and after
j3 months of consideration.
It figured in two administrations,
and was introduced by a partisan of
,,ue executive and supported by par
tisans of another.
That it is legislative history—differ
about it as people may, and as to the
! wisdom of it.
Ilditor Henry McIntosh, of the Al-
j i,any tlerald, is not mightily im-
| pressed with some of the airs office
holders give themselves nowadays.
In a recent issue of his newspaper
Kditor McIntosh sets forth his views
in this regard, in somewhat pictures-
>■ language, saying, "In this day
. d time, the public official who
clearly grasps the condition which
makes him a servant of the people
is ; irifie rare. The spectacle of an
crticeholder presuming to maintain
himself as a sort of superior being,
to whom the public must do homage,
is familiar if. our Country and our
day It is refreshing to encounter
the occasional exception to the rule/"
William J. Nunnally, of Floyd,
member-elect of the incoming legis
lature, proposes to introduce some
more or less fug'-reaching hotel legis-
j lation in the next house.
It is his intention to submit a law'

A strong petition from the Savan
nah bar, a majority of members
signing it, has been sent to President
Wilson .in behalf of Charles D Russell
for the position ol' assistant district
attorney. In case Senator Bacon de
cides to endorse some one outside of
Savannah for district attorney, Rus-
selPs chance for an assistant’s place
would bo improved. He was an ac
tive Wilson man and an effective
worker.
The news that Senator Bacon
might not press the nomination of
Joseph S. Davis, % of Albany, to be
United States marshal for the
Southern district, has caused tin* talk
to start again about that office. It
is rumored that Thomas Mulligan, an
active and influential Wilson man,
may file his application for this posi
tion. Halligan is now clerk of coun
cil, and presumably would have the
endorsement of the city administra
tion. not as an administration, of

That is certain.
For he has wired from Switzerland
to friends in London that he is safe

stopped \V .1. Burns from work on the

I happened to walk into a finan
cier's office as he finished writing a
check—in the thousands—for a
charitable purpose.
“You get a great many calls for
contributions, I believe." I remarked.
“Yes, but I enjoy giving them. I
prefer to spend my money that way
to buying pictures with it. I'd sooner
do something to help unfortunate or
suffering people than have my walls
covered with very expensive paintings.
I can see pictures in my friends' homes
ahd in galleries.
* • •
“Yes. it is true that I give all that
my income warrants—and perhaps
more.”
“And your wife also contributes to
many charities, I understand."
“Yes. She feels the same as I do
about these things."
* * *
This conversation is reproduced
here because it is symptomatic of a
change that is creeping over many
men of great wealth.
Colossal fortunes are new in Amer
ica. They are of to-day rather than
yesterday. Even so, the novelty of
them is already wearing off. They
have not brought their possessors all
that was anticipated. To own $5,000,-
I 000 or $50,000,000 is no longer a dis-
j tinction that makes the public gape,
j The ultra-rich man who docs nothing
{but spend his days, machine-like, in
■ money-making, dees not occupy a high
| pedestal in the public's estimation.
* * *
How to use enormous fortunes is
: one of America’s pressing problems,
i More of our very rich men are seek-
! ing a solution to-day than ever be-
I fore.
* * *
Pictures have been all the rage dur
ing recent years. But somehow their
possessors are finding that pictures
are less important than human beings,
that pictures can not yield gratitude
( or win the people’s prayers, that, in
' short, they are cold. comfortless
things in comparison with grateful
■ hearts and good deeds toward fellow
| mortals.

J. P. Morgan’s remarkable will dis
closes that, although he spent the
best part of his later years in gather
ing a priceless collection of art ob
jects, he was not barren of sympathy
teward human beings. The bequests
to his household servants, the gift
of a full year’s pay to every office em
ployee here and in London, the vague
but significant instructions to his trus
tees regarding unnamed charities, all
reveal the human side of Morgan. Nor
does the will bring to light half the
little benefactions which Mr. Morgan
carried on during his life.
* * *
A thirst for the goodwill of their
feilowrncn has overtaken quite a few
American multi-millionaires. It used
to be fashionable to affect complete
indifference to the public’s praise or
censure. That has been changed.
Cynics, of course will assert that the
new attitude is born of selfishness
rather than unselfishness, that grand-
scale charities are prompted only by
a love of popular applause rather than
an innate love of fellow humans. Well,
there may be some truth in such a
charge, but my own slight knowledge
of the workings of numbers of our
noted capitalists leads rather to the
belief that their good works are in
spired by higher motives.
• * •
There is very little beatinq of tom
toms about most of the benevoient
deeds of our rich men. Could the full
extent of the charities of our pluto
crats be revealed, the record would
amaze the cynics. One of the best
known figures in America recently
outlined his program for the remain
der of his day-, but added: “Not one
word of this is for publication."
