Continued From Page 1. at naught ; they injured hundreds of thousands of people by tem porarily depriving them of the powers of transportation which are necessary to their welfare. They struck a blow especially hard to ihe poor people, who were not able to pay the higher prices for food and other necessary's during the period of the strike. In faet, in these eases this suspension of transportation facilities shut down factories, thus depriving the employees of daily wages, which wpre needed for the purchase of food itself. Can anybody advance a plausible excuse—we can not say rea son—for this nullification of the State's law which commanded the operation of that railroad for the benefit of the public? < 'an anybody claim that every other element of the Stale's citi zenship shalj^ go into court to settle differences which can not he adjusted by agreement of the parties involved, but that the labor element should be given a free hand to hurt everybody else, if it so chooses, in its 1 rial of conclusions, in its own way, with its rival? THE ATTITUDE OF LABOR. And bear in mind that the labor element in the contest to which I am alluding planted itself upon grounds to which no other class has even laid the slightest claim. I mean that its contention, in a nutshell, was as follows: “This is your property, but it is my job on it. You have invested millions of dollars in building and equipping it for serving the public and I have not spent a cent on it, but 1 will suspend work on my job on your property, and if you put anybody else in that position so that you can obey the law which commands you to operate it, my friends, the mob, will kill him, if necessary, so that I can defeat you and the law.” Now, suppose the owners of the road, through the managers, had given orders to shut down the road for twelve days in order to overhaul the track, engines and ears, does anyone suppose that ihe Railroad Commission would not have interfered in a hurry to force them to comply with the law? Why, then, do the employees or any of them attempt to justify a course which is absolutely counter to the law? And if two or three hundred railroad employees can quit work on that public service corporation's property and prevent it from being operated, by the application of the same principle two or three employees on a farm can quit work and say to the owner of that farm, “You shall not have any more work done toward mak ing your crop until our demands against you are satisfied,” and they can with just as much right enlist their friends to paralyze the power of that farmer to do any work on his property as the railroad employees had on the Georgia Railroad. And if the State, through its officers, either acquiesce in suspending the oper ation of a railroad, or gives tacit consent to such procedure, she estops herself from protecting any of her other citizens who may be similarly held up.by other employees. POINTS DUTY OF STATE. I have stated this case very plainly, some may say very bluntly, because it has within itself the undoubted elements of anarchy, in that its participants openly set themselves in the lace of the law; in fact, in opposition to the very letter of the law. and in doing so inflicted great inconvenience and loss to tens of thou sands of people who had done them no harm. Therefore, it is the manliest duty of the State to prevent such an occurrence within her borders in the future. Rut some may say, how are you going to prevent it? 1 will answer: The power of the State of Georgia, within her limits, is greater than any power or all other powers combined. And that power will be incxorahlv exerted WHENEVER IT IS CHALLENGED MY ANY ELEMENT WORKING AGAINST THE STATE’S LAWS FOR. ITS OWN SELFISH ENDS. A strike on a railroad, in a cotton factory, marble mill, or any other organization, is LYNCH LAW. The only difference between the striker and the employee of any of those organizations and a mob which brutally beats or takes the life of a human being, is that in the one ease it is property and in the other it is the person that is lynched. DYNAMITING OF HOMES. Now. as to the dynamiting of homes and the terrorism other- v is exerted to force certain people to move from the counties of their residence to other counties. 1 will say that, no matter what be the color, race or occupation of the people in question, they are held accountable as individuals to the laws of the State, and so Ions; as each of them obeys the laws and pursues his or her occu pation m a peaceable manner, such one is entitled to the protection of the State and shall receive it. And if the lawless methods which have been adopted in certain localities are persisted in. the State will control the situation in a manner which will not be forgotten! As to the acts of mobs who invaded two seats of the State's authority and dragged therefrom those whom she had taken into her custody. 1 will say that there was not the slightest excuse for this act in either ease. The laws of Georgia are definite and complete in punishing crime, and if the State permits a mob to supplant her laws with this force in ONE ease and for ONE offense, there can be no res son for not allowing any mob to take a like course upon a person charged with ANY offense. And if a mob chooses to lynch a negro in one ease, it is just E; apt to lynch a white man in the next ease! For the foregoing reasons, 1 have offered rewards of one hun dred dollars each for the persons who participated in the unlaw ful acts of breaking open jails in Columbia and Heard Counties, after intimidating the officers at the jails with guns pointed at them, and then hanged the persons who were the objects of their ire. If these acts of contempt of the State’s authority be ignored by the State, then we may as well throw off all pretense of au- thoritv and law. NO PRICE IS TOO HIGH. If the guilty parties be apprehended and convicted and the bill due for the rewards be large, every good citizen of the State will agree that no price is too high to pay for freedom from an archy. 1 can not end these words without admonishing the officers of the Slate in EVERY county to exert EVERY power which the law places in their hands to protect the process of the State. Better the enforcement of the laws than popularity with law breakers. True nobility is OBEDIENCE TO DUTY, and if even life be sacrificed upon the altar of loyalty to a sworn obligation, such an nd is grander than a crown.

A woman ha« come to Atlanta who sayn that she In able to appear In a hundred different places at the same time, and will live on years after her real death. I have seen her in the actual flesh, —and it was at the Georgian Ter race. Sitting on a davenport like a com mon, ordinary mortal, she gave me this interesting news: “I seem to be here with you. and you seem to see me whole and com plete. (I admitted it.) But in real ity you don’t at all. All of me is not here by a long shot. I have sev eral hundred other selves. You see only the living part of me.” (I told her it was perfectly all right—not to mind me- I was horn* folks anyhow.) She said the other several hundred of herself, all wearing different clothes j were floating around loose in various sections of ihe country, maybe in | Paris—or Halifax or Bing* n-on-the | Rhine she didn't know exactly where. Time and space had not existed fori her since three \ ears ago when she | got so she could see herself as other people saw her. She could be talk ing and laughing with friends and stand off and watch herself going through the motion. Nothing Wonderful. But she wasn’t anything wonder ful at that. Anybody with her job could do the same thing She's a moving picture act teas, that’s all—and sfie's Mi c s Mabel Trunnelle of the Edison Company,! which has been here for the past few i days making Atlanta scenes. After she had told me all this, she proceeded to outline for me what the life of a moving picture girl was like. “O, it’s great—I’m Just crazy about it.” she declared. She said she wouldn’t do anything! else but be a moving picture show j girl for anything in the world—ex cept Herbert Prior’s wife. He was the best thing! "It’s the out-door life I love so much—and the traveling. While we muke a lot of pictures in the big studio in New York, a large part of the scenes in them are out-doors, and we go right to the woods to make them. "While the pictures are being made, all tlie actors have to stand very close to the camera and in u kittle space about as big as four feet. "That’s so the expressions of our faces will show."—she did a grimace at me—“and maybe, you don’t think it's hard to get the expressions!- Act ing isn't easy even if It does look like it when you’re sitting out under an electric fan watching us.” She began to swing her hand-bag up and down to do little stunts with it. and show me something besides. "We’ve got to make our gestures slow as Christmas." she told me. "Now watch. If 1 were to wave at some body with this thing, I couldn’t wave it fast Just as if I were waving. 1 would have* to work it up and down like a young derrick or it would look like the picture of baby’s face when j she moved that lime. i Small Working Space. "If you could just see that space we have to walk and work in. you’d be surprised.” Miss Trunnelle inform ed me. "There’s only about enough room for four people to stand side by side Notice the next time you go to a moving picture show and you’ll j see. You can put lots more people: in the rear behind the others—long ways, as it were—but not across. I mean you can’t have more than four people across and have them any size. Of course if you’re making a ball-room scene or a battlefield it's different—what you're after then is space - and it doesn't matter about the smallness of the faces or figures In the same way you rarely ever see a whole room—only a corner.” She sighed. "And then to think how it !o«»ks like you’ve got all the space in the j world when it’s flashed up on thej screen!” She said it appeared a man walked j some distance to get out of a plot- | ure but it was really only a step or J two. When making pictures, the pho tographer marked off Just how much j was in the picture and how much wasn’t. In the woods he used sticks, and in the studio, he used chalk. It you stepped over that line you were j out or in. whatever you happened to be doing.—going or coming. Careful About Dress. Moving picture artists had to be j careful about the way they dressed. 1 They couldn’t put rouge on their lips or cheeks because it made them look j black, and they couldn’t wear clothes except of certain colors for the best > effects. "For instance, if I w ere going to j be a bride, now—w hich I have al- | ready been for my last time. 1 hope—! I would wear a pink wedding gown, but in the picture it would take white.” C She gasp*/! as a thought struck her. [ "ThaAk /leaven, moving picture] folks doii’f have to worry about dirt taking inf a picture. It only - hows when it’* jon the face, or if there’s! a big greite spot somewhere. If it : did. it would b< an awful draw back. I for vV certainly do get nice and black sometimes (after a hard day out." "Moving } pictures cost money, let me tell you. Just the average one nets up to about $1,500, and from that on up to several thousand dol lars. We don’t spare any expense to make a picture. Often we rent furniture worth fabulous prices to make just one. It’s so awfully nice they're always w arning us to sit care fully on it. But as for that, furniture or things of any kind are never used but once nor any place or setting. Bought Who e Ship. “Once we bought a big ship off the < oast of Maine Just to blow up, and we frequently buy whole houses to burn.” Lights and shades placed a groat part in the pictures, and lighting ef fects were, usually made in the studio. The moving picture people worked in doors when it was raining, and out doors when it wasn’t. "We make our faces up with the whitest kind of chalk, and black our eye-brows heavily. We have to go Scores Orientals for Their Stand in the Controversy Over Alien Land Bill. out like that. too. We’re funny to look at. but folks have got so they just say—O. the movies, and give us a kind look.” It wav wonderful the way wealthy people allowed the picture companies to use their homes. Handsome resi dences were not make-believes at all. They would simply walk up and ask a woman if she would allow them to use the outside of her house for a minute, and she would invariably consent. Often people’s very from parlors and hair-cloth sofas were pressed into service. Accidents Make Eelieve. Even though people looked like they were thrown over bluff- and things, they weren’t. The photographer took the picture of the real man just before he falls and then shuts the camera off. sets up a dummy and that is thrown ever. Which looked the same, but wasn’t—for which the man was Very thankful. Horses that fell in battle were taught the trick. When it seemed a train ran over a person, the camera was turned up side down giving the appearance that the train was coming instead of go ing. “It takes about a week to make the average picture,” Miss Trunnelle said, "and sometimes it’s the very last scene that is made iirst. Usually all the pictures that are to be made in the studio are made at once,- and the out-door pictures the same way. "We have seven directors, all of them with troupes of .actors under them. Ore will use you one week— another the next week perhaps, ac cording to how your part suits his play. We have one Western troupe and one a -road. In ac ting, we have to make up our own lines. The di rectors simply tell us ’Now you’re sad here,’ or 'You’re gay here,-—’ and we are. Of course we know the play besides.” Miss Trunnelle is really a retiring little person, and not conceited a bit. i had to beg her for an hour before she would consent to go and see her self in a moving picture tha was on at one of the Peachtree theaters. She liked to play the part of a young girl in love and very happy, she said. No matter how satisfied she was to be married in real life, she hated it in pictures. She liked her hair down her back and being made love to. She didn't want to b* middle class. • HICCOUGHS KILLING VICTIM. CINCINNATI.

The states men of the world know what navy we have, and all true statesmen are very sorry that such a piece of vanity was displayed by our country which before had enjoyed a reputation for good sense. The navy and army^whose greatest triumph is parading does not strike one as being efficient. QUESTION—Would you say any thing about the necessity of augment ing the navy? ONLY TWO NAVIES LARGER. REPLY There are only two larger navies in the world. One has more than 2.000.000 of tons of warships. That is Britain. She has to keep the seas open to im port food for her people. If this were obstructed. she would starve. We are in exactly the opposite position. We need noth ing from abroad. We have every thing that we need right here at home. We would be foolish to expend great sums on our navy. We have thirty-three great battle ships to-day and five under con struction. The President of the United States. I think, should ve to any bill that ordered another battleship until the five now un der construction are completed We want embassies for our am bassadors. millionaires being scarce. The cost of one battle ship would provide sixty embas sies. averaging $250,000 each, which is ample. A few embassies might cost more, but the greater number of the people are misled in regard to this. These battleships will never fire a shot, but rust in decay. If 1 were asked the most foolish thing our country is doing. I would say that it is the build ing of battleships to rust. "NO WAR WITH SPAIN.” QUESTION—Didn't the war with Spain prove our efficiency? REPLY—We had no "war” with Spain. It was only play to dis able her four old tubs. There were only three or four ships en gaged. Spain has not one dread- noughl. while we have thirty- three first-class battleships, and five more building. If the Ameri can wishes to do a great serv ice let it tell our people that this Japanese question will be ad justed peacefully. ■John Cooper Register Dies at Home of Son John Cooper Register, aged 74 year-, died Saturday at the home of his son.
