(Governor Brown's now famous „ yeec h “The Supremacy of tlie Law," ;,.,ently sjiarply criticised by the i porgia Federation <tf Bailor in Au gusta. and by Judge Emory Speer, ” as the outcome of a certain legisla tive act that has rather a remarkable 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.

Grand opera seems to have no par ticular drawing power for members of the Georgia Legislature. A careful inspection of the bril liant audience gathered in the Audi torium Monday night failed to dis close the presence of so many as one representative or senator-elect, save those of the immediate vicinity However, they will all be here soon, when their own big show opens up, under the dome over on Capitol Hill. 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 course, but as individuals. In his youthful days, the Honorable Joseph Mackey Brown used to be an adept at tripping the light fantastic toe, and generally was more or less in demand as a partner at terpsieho- rean diverlisements. Once upon a time, however, he came mighty near breaking up a fashionable soiree in Atlanta, and some of his friends are laughing about it vet Rack in the '80’s Colonel and Mrs. Robert T. Lowry gave a big dance one evening, and Governor Brown was a guest. As was the custom in those days, the carpet on the drawing room floor was not removed for the dancing, but canvas “crash” was stretched tightly c ross it. and upon this the dancing was done. About the middle of the evening if was dis covered that the “crash” was becom ing covered all over with red tracks ,__ as though somebody with very muddy shoes on had walked across it ;i few times. Investigation dis closed the fact that Governor Brown, in Ids hurry t<» get under way danc ing. had forgotten to remove his rub ber overshoes. and as.the nivht was HIGHLIGHTS IN MYSTERY OF WILBERFORCE MARTIN Burns and Scotland Yard Have Given Up Quest, but Fail to Bare Secret.

FORBES. 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.
