adjusted liv agreement of the parties involved, but that the labor
element should be given a free hand to hurt everybody else, it it so
chooses, in its trial of conclusions, in its own way, with its rival?
THE ATTITUDE OF LABOR.
And hear 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 anil
equipping it for "serving the public and I have not spent a cent on
it,, hut I 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 1 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 cars, does anyone suppose that
the Railroad Commission would not have interfered in a hurry to
force them to comply with the layv?
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, shi
est ops 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 face
of the law; in fact, in opposition to the very letter of the law, and
in doing so indicted great-inconvenience anil loss to tens of thou
sands of people who had done them no harm.
Therefore, it is the manifest duty of the State to prevent such
an occurrence within her borders in the future.
Hut some may say. how are you going to prevent it?
I w ill 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 la- inexorably exerted WHENEVER IT IS
CHALLENGED HY 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
wise exerted to force certain people to move from the counties of
their residence to other counties, I 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
long as each of them obeys the laws and pursues his or her occu
pation in a peaceable manner, such one is entitled to the protection
of the State and shall receive it. And if tin 1 lawless methods which
have been adopted in certain localities are persisted in. the State
will control the situation in a manner which will not he 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. I will say that there was not the slightest excuse for
this act in either case.
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 case and for ONE offense, there can be no rea
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
as apt to lynch a white man in the next ease!
For the foregoing reasons, I 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.
II these acts ot contempt of the State s authority be ignored
by the State, then we may as well throw off all pretense of au
thority and law.
NO PRICE IS TOO HIGH.
II the guilty parties he apprehended and convicted and the
hill due tor 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.
I can not end these words without admonishing the officers
of the State in E\ ERA county to exert EVERY power which the
law places in their hands to protect tin process of the State.
Getter the enforcement ot tin- laws than popularity with law
breakers. •
True nobility is OBEDIENCE T<) DUTY, and if even life be
sacrificed upon the altar of loyalty to a sworn obligation, such an
end is grander than a crown.

Little Miss Hanka Harba in Bo-
• hernia, Is Hailed as a Sur
passing Beauty.
NEW YORK. May 24. Harrison
Fisher, who has drawn a greater
number of beautiful girls than anv
living illustrator, has found the pret
tiest girl in the world.
Since the popular artiet is a bach
elor and extremely eligible, it is to
be regretted that the girl who so fills
his eye that he declares she has no
equal in all the world is his cousin
and only three and a half years old
Her name is Hanka Harba and her
home is in Kladnow, in Bohemia.
With the aid of her mother she. cor
responds with her "big cousin. Harry.”
"I’m really In love with the little
witch,*’ Mr. Fisher said yesterday. “I
intend to visit her every time l go
to Europe. 1 saw her last summer
for the first time. By next summer
she will be five. It will he interest
ing to watch her development. Yes.
I have drawn pictures of her. but
1 gave the originals to her, so they
are In Bohemia.
“The child Is to me the’ prettiest
in the world. She has wide-open,
trustful eyes They are a €*oft hazel.
Her lips are curled as a rosebud curls
Her hair is soft and blonde as a
chick's down. Her features are Inde

sweet and her coloring delicately

'the JhTsher girl,' but perhhps the

she becomes sixteen or eighteen."

Freak Styles Cause
High Cost of Living
University Professor Says That
Americans Wear Clothes That
French Cast Off.
OKS MOINES, May 24.—“The mad
pursuit of American women for tho
varying fads of dress, and their ac
ceptance of designs from the Euro
pean fashion centers as mandates in
technique of dress, are directly re
sponsible for the high cost of living
in this country td-day,” declared
Prof. Walter Sargent, of the Univer
sity of Chicago, before the conven
tion of the Western Drawing and
Manual Training Association. Pro
fessor Sargent said:
The American should be like the
Chinese woman. She should have an
established style of dress arid follow
that style
“The French send dress and home
art designs to America which they
themselves will not accept, and the
American woman and home-maker
accept that edict as a fashion law to
be followed literally.
1 WIFE MAY BEAT HUSBAND'S
AFFINITY, COURT'S RULING
MILWAUKEE. May 24. —That af
finities have no standing in Milwau
kee courts and that married women
have a right to beat them became
known in the District Court the other
day when Miss Annette C. Meyers was
banished from the city and Mrs. E.
D. Mickle wig found not guilty of a
charge of assault and battery.
After many futile attempts to per-*
suade Miss Meyers to discontinue her
pole. Xeaily ail,, Arctic’expedition*
have had as their primary object the
discovery of the pole. Now that
Peary has attained that object, ex-
p- ditions of the future will devote
riore time to exploring the Arctic Cir-
< le and to scientific research.
Explore Beaufort Sea.
'Pile ’region which Stefansson will
explore is now known as the “Beau
fort Sea.” That is the way it appears
upon .maps of the Arctic, but it 19 not
by any means certain that it is the
sea,./although many explorers, includ
ing “Dr Nansen and Amundsen, are
j inotified’to believe that it is the sea.
Stefansson and Commander Pearv,
| however, believe ihat it is a great
• continent. Peary asserts that' he saw
• many signs of land in the vicinity of
. the “Beaufort Sea" while on his
i dashes to the pole, which indicated
that they were parts of a continent.
Stefansson hopes to reach .Nom?,
{'Alaska* the. last telegraph stntioi
north, a month after he sails from
hero. He expects to round Point Bar-
row the last week in July. His vessel
is the Karluk» an old whaler. His
party will consist of ten noted scien
tists and a crew of twelve men. all ex
perienced in Arctic exploration.
The expedition is'.being made at the \
expense of the Canadian Goveinment.
It had been expected that Stefansson
would make the trip for the National
Geographic Society of Washington
and the American Museum of Nation
al History of New York, which insti
tution offered him $45,000.- The Ca
nadian Government, however, offered
him $75,000,' and Stefansson accepted
The fact that he is a Canadian by
birth had much to do with his accept
ing-the Canadian offer, despite the at
traction of the larger amount of
money.
Born in Winnipeg.
Stefansson was born in Winnipeg,
of Iceland parents. He is unmarried,
which, in his opinion, should be the
cast' with all Arctic explorers. He
studied at Harvard and graduated.
One of his hobbies? is the study of
the peoples, of the North of Europe
and the Study of Norse literature.
Stefansson has had considerable ex
perience in exploration in the vicinity
of the supposed continent. Not long
ago he spent three years among the
Eskimos of the Arctic. His discovery
of the “blond Eskimos" made him
famous the world over.
During the course of an expedition
into polar regions, Stefansson ran
across a remarkable tribe of Eskimos.
They had never seen a white man be
fore. and Stefansson had never seen
any Eskimos like them: many of them
had blue eyes and reddish hair, with
many of the facial characteristics of
the Scandinavian.

on Pittance for Seven Years,
Wife Chargs.
CHICAGO, May 24. Mio L. Lyon's
success in maintaining two families,
part of the time on a salary of $12
a week, became a matter of court
record yesterday. Judge F*etit in the
Circuit Court, granted a divorce to
Mrs. Margaret A. Lyon. 4550
Champlain Avenue, because she prov
ed to the court’s satisfaction that in
the last seven years Lyon has sup
ported as his wife another woman.

time he was not with the other wo
man. their four children. Margaret,
ten years old; Wilfred, twelve years j
old: William, nineteen years old, and
Mary, twenty-one years old.
“For the past seven years I have
been suspicious, but it was only two
years ago that I learned positively
that he has associated with the other
when she took the stand. I found a
memorandum which was scribbled on
the back of an envelope entitled |
woman.’’ Mrs. Lyon told Judge Petit'
Shirtwaist for Alice and stockings
for the kids.’ Of course, that did not
refer to me. We were living 1n the
country a great part of the tipie
while he worked in the city and I !
found out through letters from this I
woman's sister that he had been liv- i
ing with her."
Lyon is now living with the Wood- I

CRISIS AFTER U. S. REPLY
Continued From Page 1.
Government most rests the hope of
peace, insist that there should be a
change of racial policy of Americans
toward the Japanese.
The Yorodau. a leading journal, fie-
nounces Governor Johnson's* message
as an INTOLERABLE INSULT TO
JAPAN.
This is the condition which thought
ful men, not touched hy the war spirit
and always advocates of peace, be
lieve to contain the greatest menace.
With the Information that the Pan
ama Canal will be completed by Octo
ber, it ta now regarded by experts that
should Japan determine upon extreme
action she would immediately strike
at this great strategic possession.
Against this stroke forts are being
built upon the Pacific side. The offi

is in the ('anal Zone.
Jap Conservatives Agitate ■
For an Equal Citizenship
Special Cable to The American.
TOKIO, May 24.—'The news that the
California alien larid ownership hill
had been signed by Governor Johnson
was received here with regret.
It had been hoped up to the last
moment that Washington’s interven
tion would prove successful. The
newspapers published extras about
the signing of the bill.
The efforts of the Japanese Gov
ernment are concentrated at present
on pacifying public opinion, but the
task is regarded in many quarters as
more difficult than at the time of the
California school controversy, or even
a year ago.
Since the death of the old Japanese
Emperor the authority of the Gov
ernment has steadily diminished in
resisting the growing influence of
public opinion.
Arthur Bailly-Blanchard. Secretary
of the United States Embassy, visit
ed Baron Noboaki Makino. the Jap
anese Foreign Minister, to-day. an«f
reiterated the determination of the
United States Government to exert!
every effort to find a friendly solu
tion. He thanked the Japanese Gov
ernment for its attempts to restrain
excitable public opinion.
tr is generally believed here Wash
ington will find a solution, but the
more conservative elements in Japan
are now echoing the public agitation
for equal treatment of the Japanese.
They declare thp racial issue and the
recurrence of anti-Japanese bills in
California should receive basic cura
tive treatment.
A prominent official said to-day:
“The Japanese people feel that their
national honor is involved. The pres
ent question will be solved peacefully,
but what is needed to assure the per
manence of our traditional friendship
is u change of heart in some Ameri
cans toward the Japanese.”
Capt. Hobson Quits House
Naval Committee in Disgust
WASHINGTON, May 24.—Repre
sentative Richmond Pearson Hobson,
hero of the Merrimac, has resigned
from the Committee of Naval Affairs
in disgust. He has voluntarily select
ed as his assignment in the new Con
gress the chairmanship of the House
Committee on Education.
For two terms Captain Hobson has
warned Congress of possible ^rouble
with Japan. Failing to convince the
Naval Committee of the necessity to
build battleships he feels he can no
longer remain a member of it.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan will choose a successor to Hob-^
son. .
Lemuel E. Padgett,, of Tennessee, is
to be chairman of this committee.-He
