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 the 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 e 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 suspe nsion 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 he ha* 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. Vincent Astor Bitten By Monkey on Yacht NEW YORK.

Oc-rrtrtiV Ml By isos Big MEN AND RELIGION BULLETIN No. 61 APPROPRIATIONS IN GEORGIA “By their fruits ye shall know them.” —Matt, vil: 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. xlll: 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—? * r T 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 prison 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.
