NASH PROTESTS
F
Declares Negligence of Civil Of
ficials Is All That Makes State
Troops Necessary.
Declaring that if the civil officers
of the State could be made to do their
duty, there would be no need of the
military, Adjutant General Van Holt
Nash, before the House Committee
on Military Affairs Thursday after
noon, protested against the passage
of the military bill offered by Rep
resentative Slade, of Muscogee.
The bill repeals the military act
of 1912 and re-enacts the law of 1910,
making the militia subservient to the
civil authorities.
“The militia is entitled to some
consideration,” declared General
Nash. “We offer our lives to the
State with practically no remunera
tion. and are sworn to uphold the
honor of the State and its laws. The
only reason there Is any need for tl)e
militia is because the civil officers
do not do their duty. If you will
make the civil authorities perform
their work, there will be no necessity
for calling out th« militia.
Says Present Laws Protect Them.
"The present law should stand. It
protects us from being overridden
by the civil authorities, and prevents
us from being made the scapegoats
of incompetent civil officers."
Mr. Slade declared the present
military law is unconstitutional be
cause It means the suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus. He likened
conditions that arose in Augusta last
year, under military rule, to the Re
construction period, when “blood
flowed as freely as water.”
Representative Ennis, of Baldwin
County, spoke against the bill. He
declared if the State were under mil
itary rule there would be fewer law
breakers.
Because of the absence of a quorum
the committee did not take any ac
tion on the bill. Mr. Slade declared
be has small hopes of the passage of
his bill, but seeks to effect a com
promise with the bill introduced in
the Senate by Senator McGregor,
which curtails the powers of the mil
itary.
It is probable that the committee
will not report on the Slade bill until
next week.

APPROPRIATIONS IN GEORGIA
“By their fruits ye shall know
them.” —Matt. vii:20.
“Now we pray to God—
“Not that we may appear ap
proved,
“BUT THAT YOU MAY DO THAT
WHICH IS HONORABLE,
“Though we be as reprobate.”
—2nd Cor. xlil:7.
Not attacks.
Facts.
Some appropriations in Georgia:
$10,000.00 agriculture.
$10,000.00 carrying out pure food and drug act.
$ 5,000.00 for cattle tick eradication and protection of live stock.
$15,000.00 to developing live stock and exterminating the cattle tick.
$ 6,000.00 to manufacture and distribute hog cholera serum.
$20,000.00 horticulture and entomology.
Nothing for wayward and delinquent girls—for their protection, de
velopment and culture—
Later, if—
Maybe, next year—
God pity them!
THEY CAN NOT WAIT.
These are girls—not hogs, nor cows, nor fields which may be replaced.
Once lost, these—?
And crime claws—
Hell reaches out for them, even while you talk.
Seventy-five girls—
Only those under sixteen known to us—others—scores are in the
State sinking because there is no place.
Care for prisoners is required by the laws of Georgia and of God, as
as well as appropriations for sick cattle and hogs. And if the State’s
Wards—we will not call them prisoners—be as they are, these girls, what
will you do with them?
In the chaingang?
With the hardened prisoners of the prisen farm?
You could not put them in your reformatory for boys.
WHAT OF THESE GIRLS?
The Prison Commission says:
“No place for them in Georgia.”
Agriculture.
Pure food.
Tickless cattle.
Choleraless hogs.
These are much to be desired. They should be cultivated and sought.
But you know these girls. You would take care of them. They are
more valuable than our cows and hogs.
Georgia’s shame! Other States take care of girls. Why not Georgia?
Of the JONES MILLS bill providing a reformatory for girls, CHAIR
MAN WHEATLEY said:
“It was referred to a subcommittee to plan for the creation of a home
and to make such changes in the measure for an appropriation that could
be granted.”
Cutting $45,000.00 from the $75,000.00 appropriation asked, the sub
committee reported back the bill carrying an appropriation of $30,000.00,
for action by the whole committee.
The Penitentiary Committee had previously recommended the bill
without a dissenting vote. All recognize the need.
And if money can be obtained for the cultivation of hogs, cattle and
fields, surely it can be found for this—the saving of girls.
NOT AN ATTACK.
A fact:
We believe that the Committee on Appropriations will find a way.
While taking care of beasts and spraying bugs, you will not neglect
and destroy our girls.
You can protect both.
You will.
