Continued From Page 1. zenshi|> shall go into court to settle iLitlcreiiccs which can not he 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
