Ironmaster Declares “What Great
Britain Cannot Give Them They
Have No Right to Expect from
Others; Are Reasonable People''
Decries Talk of Invasion With
22,000,000 Men Subject to
Militia Call—Opposes Enlarged
Navy—“We Need Embassies"
NEW YORK, May 24.—The New
York Correspondent of the Atlanta
Sunday American to-day requested
Andrew Carnegie the famous disciple
of peace, for an interview on the
California-Japanese situation. Fol
lowing is the verbatim interview:
QUESTION —Mr. Carnegie. The
Atlanta Sunday American desires
your views upon the California-Jap
anese question.
REPLY—The press is full of a
reputed Japanese crisis. In my
opinion there can be no crisis or
war in the ca^e of Japan and our
country. The question exciting
T’alifornia just now is not a Cali-
( fornia question alone; it is an in-
ternaUonal question. I have been
in Japan, and nolody has more
kindly feeling for that remarkable
people than l have. They are a
reasonable people, and know that
what their ally. Great Britain
cannot give them they have no
» rieht to expect from us. No Jap
anese or Chinese can enter Aus
tralia or New Zealand, and the
Canadians and British Columbia
have laws against their entry.
Even the South African colony of
Britain has stringent laws affect
ing Japanese immigration. It is
a world-wide question.
As a point of international law,
all nations have the right to de
termine who they shall include or
exclude as permanent citizens and
existing conditions must be taken
into consideration.
SAFE FROM INVASION.
Our country would be perfectly
-afe in saying that there would be
no objection to giving the Jap
anese far greater privileges in our
Slate and national laws than the
other nations of the world extend:
hence, I do not believe that war
can ensue between Japan and
ourselves. No nation in ihc world
can invade us successfully, nor is
there any which wishes to try the
experiment. The census shows
that we have 22,000.00ft militia
subject to cal! the greater pro
portion of which have guns and
can shoot, which is something
that no other nation possesses.
The number of men in other
countries who nave guns is very
small, indeed.
I have full confidence that the
present Administration will show
that our terms are liberal beyond
those ot any other English-speak
ing country. Instead of trying to
alarm the public, the press would
he fulfilling a high duty if it
would state the facts just as they
'• art- and assure the readers that
Japan can have no desire to quar
rel with us, nor we to quarrel
» with them. Our message to Jap
an sholud be: "Dear friends, just
look river the laws and rest as
sured that whatever other nations
concede to you our Republic will
go much farther.”
QUESTION—Will you say anything
•bout the armament of our nation?
REPLY—As to our military
if. strength, we have 22,000.000 sub
ject to militia call, a large num
ber of whom have guns of their
own and can shoot straight. The
President would only have to call
for two or three million of these,
more or less, as occasion requir
ed. We might invite any invad
ers to land and would escort them
as far inland as they chose. Get
ting out would be another story.
(>f all the fool alarms that our
country labors under is that any
nation could successfully Invade
us.
QUESTION—What about the navy;
didn’t we demonstrate our efficiency
by going around the world?
REPLY No, 1 don't think that
was any proof of efficiency. Our
ships strutted along like vain pea-

Public Schools.
Remarkable improvement having
been shown as a result of experi
mental dental examinations in the
Crew Street and Bell Street schools,
the committee from the Chamber of
Commerce and the Atlanta Society of
Dental Surgeons has decided to ask
that dental inspections be made per
manent.
The committee in charge of the
testj* consists of V. H. Kriegshaber.
of the Chamber of Commerce, and
the following dentists: Dr. S. W. Fos

ducting a second examination the
first of the present year and making
the last one this week.
At the Crew Street school, out of
403 pupils, 223 visited dentists at the
suggestion of the examiners and had
their cases completed, showing an
improvement of 55 1-3 per cent. Out-
of 1,000 imperfections found in teeth,

NEW YORK. May 24.—“Poker

when he was under examination be
fore United States Commissioner Gil
christ to explain why Appel Brothers,
fur merchants, failed. "I lost $800 a
week ago playing poker.”
"Where did you play poker?” asked
Stephen B. Rosenthal, counsel for the
receiver.
“There are so many gamL’ing
houses in New York I couldn’t re
member.” answered the witness.
"What is a straight flush?” asked
the lawyer.
"T don’t know.” said Appel.
"Does a flush heat a straight?”
"Don’t ask me; I don’t know.”
"Does a full house beat a straight
flush ?”
"I couldn’t say.”
"No wonder poker ruined you,”
commented the lawyer.
Work Mainly Inspirational and
Results Not Easily Observed,
Asserts Noted Pastor.
By REV. CHARLES STELZLE.
The three big Presbyterian Assem
blies have been in session in Atlanta
for ten days.
What is the net result of their de
liberations?
It isn’t very easy to reduce to sta
tistics the actions of these bodies.
You can't test the love of your wife
with a thermometer. Much of the
work of these Assemblies was of a
purely inspirational character.
The results will he tabulated in
some little country church or In some
bi* city institution, or It may not be
registered this side of glory.
Union To Be Discussed.
A prominent subject for discussion
at all the Assemblies was that of
“union." For a year or more, com
mittees have been at work on arti
cles of agreement which should serve
as the basis of the getting together of
these divided Presbyterians. While
nothing was done directly in the mat
ter. decided advances were made. The
mere fact that the entire thing was
not thrown out would have been a
sign of progress.
But not only were committees on
union continued, but some definite ar
ticles of common faith were formu
lated which will now be acted upon
by the various presbyteries. Next
year a still more decided advance will
be made by all the bodies concerned.
It was gratifying that the Southern
Assembly remained in the Federal
Council of the Church of Christ in
America. This great organisation
represents the united Protestant
forces of the United States, with SO
denominations and 20,000,000 mem
bers.
Social Service in Lead.
Social service was given promi
nent place in the program of all the
Assemblies. The biggest meeting in
the series of combined Assembly af
fairs was the mass meeting on this
subject on the Saturday night of the
Assembly w*eek, held in the Audito
rium. when not only was the big Au
ditorium filled, but 2.000 people were
turned away.
Scarcely a report of any description
was made, no matter what it may
have been, but what the subject of
social service was discussed in some
form. Kach of the Assemblies ap
pointed committees of five to formu
late a new social service program or
platform which should contain more
of the spiritual elements of the Chris
tian religion.
This report will be ready for the
next meetings of the various Assem
blies when, no doubt, a distinctively
"Presbyterian" social service platform
will be adopted, which, however, must
be as non-sectarian as the smallpox.
The question of “elect infants' re
mained as it always has been, in the
Southern Assembly, but probably we
all understand by this time that the
Presbyterians do not teach that all
children dying in infancy go straight
to hell, and that this much maligned
doctrine was really inserted in the
Presbyterian Confession of Faith in
protest against the doctrine taught by
another church that all such infants
are actually lost
Statement Is Not Clear.
The only trouble with the Presby
terian statement Is that it isn't clear
enough to the average outsider.
The "Brief Statement of Our Be
lief" was adopted by the Southern
Assembly. It is a good statement
and should help immensely in making
plainer what this church does believe
about the great doctrines taught by
Presbyterians.
The Northern Assembly adopted
an intermediate catechism, which will
be popularly used by the Sunday

who defied papal excommunication by

All Georgia Evildoers Are Scourged by
the Executive With Amazing Frank
ness as He Serves Notice That the
Statutes of State Will Be Enforced.
Governor Joseph M. Brown in an interview for The Sunday
American, amazing in its frankness and engaging in its absolute
eandor, serves notice again upon the people of Georgia that so
long as he is Chief Magistrate, the laws of Georgia must and shall
he rigidly enforced.
The Governor minces no words in slating his position, and
cites specific instances of law violations of a character repugnant
to his sense of right.
The Governor's interview, which is sure to create a stir, follows:
By JOSEPH M. BROWN,
Governor of Georgia
I am not now and never have
hern a pessimist, but. neverthe
less, I will say that certain events
within the past few months have
been tendering to this and some
other States the issue of anarchy
or illegally administered law.
Among these events We-e
strikes on public service corpora
tions and factories, the dynamit
ing of residences and fither prop
erly in the night, the threatened
interruption of the courts in the
very act of applying the process
prescribed by the Constitution
and the invasion of jails by mobs,
who. with the muzzles of guns,
have forced, officers of the State
to surrender prisoners, who have
then been unlawfully hanged.
Georgia is a large State, with
a large population, and the
events to which I refer have been
but occasional and in different
parts of her area, but they are
developing a spirit of disregard
of law which, if not sternly
checked, will ere long hurst
forth as anarchy, pure and sim
ple.
Now. it is an indisputable fact
that an enormous majority of the
people of this State is composed
of lawabiding people.
They have framed a Constitu
tion and enacted laws for the protection of persons and property.
THINKS PEOPLE SUPREME.
They do not intend to lie down at night with the apprehension
that the habitation of the humblest person will be dynamited as
he and his family sleep.
They do not intend that .jails shall he broken into and parties
in the custody of the State taken forcibly from the officers and
killed. The State holds such killing as murder.
And 1 will add that, since certain organizations have tendered
to the State the issue as to whether their will or the State’s law
shall he supreme, it will he demonstrated that the vast majority
of the people do NOT intend that the law shall bend to the power
of any or all organizations.
Taking a concrete case for illustration, when the State char
tered the Georgia Railroad she not only gave it consent to run
trains, but she commanded it to do so. And in her amended
Railroad Commission law she made it the duty of the commission
"to order and compel the operation of sufficient and proper passen
ger service, when in its judgment inefficient or insufficient service
is being rendered the public or any community.” Code of Georgia,
Section 2664.
SEES INJURY TO POOR.
About 250 trainmen struck and forced the owners of the road
to stop running the trains for twelve days. They and their con
federates paralyzed the power of that road to serve the public. The
public in the counties traversed by that road consisted, as shown
by the last census, of 582,182 inhabitants.
Thus these trainmen and those who incited them to this course
openly and boldly affronted the State by setting her laws
