Toklo Paper Says California Alien
Bill Is Offense Against
Law of Love.
Passing Out the “Plums” Our Buyers Captured
A Clearaway of Fine Summer Dresses
Market
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
TOKIO, May 8.—The Yorozu Ohoho
publishes an appeal to the Christian
Japanese an<3 the Christians of Amer
ica, In which It says:
“It may be a small thing to dimin*
herlt the Japanese in California, yet
It Is of importance In that It causes
a friendly nation to distrust America.
The land law may succeed in erad
icating the so-called evils of Oriental
Immigration, yet It contains germ of
greater troubles. Better put legality
aovc- profit and love above legality.
Such legality and mioh legislation are
an offense against the law of love,
wherefore the Japanese are rather
more sorrowful than Indignant.”
All our buyers back from New York. Because of the unsettled money
market and impending tariff changes, they were able to pick up much desira
ble merchandise underprice. We are now distributing these “plums.” Some
examples:

for Mrs. H. W. J. Ham.
One of our best makers sends on bis season’s surplus of tine summer
dresses. These are the distinctive models that you won’t find everywhere—ex
elusive styles, which are chiefly one of a kind. Variously in ratine, crepe and
linens; a few colors, but chiefly white.
The styles and materials are highly desirable for summer wear. There
will be a lively skirmish to choose at these little prices.
$19.75: values $25 to $29.50 $23.50: values $35 to $39.50
We also include a few fine dresses from our own stock, the ones and twos of a kind. Re
dueed thus:
$28.75 from $39.50. $50 from $6f>. $60 from $75.
Every Woman Who Needs a Serge Dress-—
The nomination of Mrs. H. \V. J.
Ham to be postmaster at Gainesville
and the consequent turning down of
Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet and Editor
A. a. Hardy have aroused the most
Intense interest in Georgia, and is be
ing widely discussed to-day.
The popular Impression was that
Mrs. Longstreet likely would succeed
herself, and If she did not. the plum
would go to Mr. Hardy, who had the
Indorsement of Congressman Bell of
the Gainesville district.
Mrs. Ham’s name never had been
mentioned publicly in connection with
the Gainesville postofflce, and her
nomination was a complete surprise
The biggest surprise of all in this
presidential act, however, was the re-
p.ort given out from the Postoffice
Department to the effect that Mrs.
Longstreet’9 administration of the
Gainesville postoffice had been found
unsatisfactory and inefficient.
Report Called an Excuse.
Her friends already are saying
there is no sincerity in that report,
but that It was made merely to con
form with previous announcements
from the White House to the effect
that postmasters would not be re
moved in any event, save where
charges of inefficiency were made and
sustained.
Primary responsibility for the
Presidential rejection of both Mrs.
Longstreet and Mr. Hardy is laid
at the door of E. T. Brown, of At
lanta, who bitterly opposed Mr.
Hardy and more or less passively
opposed Mrs. Longstreet. Mr. Brown
is a cousin of Mrs. Wilson and a
frequent visitor at the White House.
He is reported to be closer to the
President than any other Georgian.
His opposition to Mr. Hardy is
based on partisan grounds, arising
out of Mr. Hardy’s support of Mr.
Underwood in the Georgia primary,
and his opposition to Mrs. Long
street upon the milder partisan
grounds that she was a Roosevelt
appointee and presumably more of
a Republican than Democrat.
Senator Smith Hesitates.
The nomination of Mrs. Ham was
announced Wednesday afternoon,
notwithstanding the fact that
Congressman Bell bad an engage
ment with the President to-day to
talk the Gaiflesville situation over.
Mr. BeH conferred, more or less in
dignantly. so it is reported, with
Senator Hoke Smith last night, as
to the unexpected nomination of
Mrs. Ham. The Senator expressed
great surprise that the matter had

Didn’t think we could do it!
Last week's 12c lace sale seemed the top notch of endeavor. But here Is a
lace bargain equally good—for many people even better.
“Aren’t we over enthusiastic?”
Not a bit of it. The laces are in the window to-dav to prove all we sav of
them.
Moreover, women who have seen the window display have been trooping In
all day trying to buy the laces at once—to have them sent out of town—to

The flat rejection of Congressman
Bell’s recommendation for the post
mastership in his home town has
caused a tremendous flutter In Con
gressional circles, and has aroused
great interest in Georgia. For time
immemorial, it has been customary
for Congressmen to name, without
dispute, their home postmasters. If
the President is going to disregard
this custom, what influence will a
Congressman have un any appoint
ments within his district? That is
the big question Representatives are
asking themselves to-day, and which
thousands of Georgians are pausing
to hear answered.
Many are taking the rejection of
Hardy to mean that President Wil
son is determined not to appoint to
office in Georgia any one who op
posed him in the Presidential pri
mary, and that If Congressman Bell
had named a pro-Wilson man his
recommendation might have been fol
lowed.
Made a Gallant Fight.
Mrs. Longstreet has made a gallant
fight to retain her position. The
Postofflce Department, the White
House and the Capitol have, been
flooded with letters and telegrams in
her favor. It was thought that she
might lose the office through politics,
but It never was suspected In Georgia
that inefficiency would be charged
against her.
Congressman Bell will make an ef
fort to change the presidential mind
in respect of the Gainesville postofflce,
but the impression is that he will fail
to move the White House occupant.
Mrs. Ham is the widow of the late
H. W. J. Ham, for years prominent
in Georgia politics, and is a popular
and estimable woman.
