5 < / < IT LONGSTREET Japanese ‘Sorrowful, RatherThanAngered' Tokio Paper Says California Alien Bill Is Offense Against LawAjf Love. Summer Furniture to Keep You (!ool. BROS. CO. Bloch’s Carriages. w I ’ Atlantan Is Credited With Land ing Gainesville Postmastership for Mrs. H. W. J. Ham. Tlie nomination of Mrs. H. VV. Ham to be postmaster at Gainesville am] the consequent turning down of Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet and Editor A. S. Hardy have aroused the most intense Interest in Georgia, and is be ing widely discussed to-day. The popular impression was that 1 Mrs. Longstreet likely would succeed I herself, and if she did not, the plum would go tc 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 Gainetfviile post office, and her nomination was a complete surprise j The biggest surprise of all in this presidential act, however, was the re port given out from the Postoffice Department to the effect that Mrs. Longstreet’s administration of the j Gainesville postoffice had been found unsatisfactory and inefficient. Report Called an Excuse. Her friends already are saying there is no sincerity in that report, hut that it was made merely to con form with previous announcements from the White House to the effect that postmasters would not be To rn eved 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. Hts 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 Uongressman Bell had an engage ment with the President to-day to lalk the Gainesville situation over. Mr. Bell 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 developed along the line indicated, but said he would hesitate to oppose the nomination when it came up .for confirmation. The fiat rejection of Uongressman Bell’s recommendation for the post- inastership 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 on 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 Postoffice Department, the White House and the Capitol have been flooded with letters and telegrams in her favor. It was thought that yhe might lose the office through politics, but it never was suspected in Georgia that inefficiency would he charged against her. Congressman Bell will make an ef fort to change the presidential mind in respect of the Gainesville postoffice, 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, fqr years prominent in Georgia politics, and is a popular and estimable woman. / Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. TOKIO, May 8.—The Yorozu Ghohe publishes an appeal to the Christian Japanese and the Christians of Amer ica. in which it says: "It may be a small thing to disin herit the Japanese in California, y M 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 aove profit and love above legality. Such legality and such legislation are an offense against the law of love - , wherefore the Japanese are rather more sorrowful thun Indignant.” Miss Elkins’ Dog Lost; ‘Billy’ Hitt Seeks It If He Finds Abruzzi’s Present Its Name May Be ‘Sweet William.’ WASHINGTON, May S.—"Due," the prize bulldog said to have been pre sented to Miss Katherine Elkins by the Duke of the Abruzzi some years ago and named after him, is missing, and Miss Elkins is inconsolable. ’ Due” wandered away at the Horse Show.
