President’s Demand for Currency
Act Means Republicans Will
Delay Vote on Tariff,
WASHINGTON, Aug:. IB.—Senators
came to tho Capitol to-day prepared
to remain on the job until November.
following the Indorsement by the
Democratic caucus last night of Pres
ident Wilson’s demand for currency
legislation at this session of Con
gress.
Republican Senators have publi lv
refused to agTee to a date on whicn
to vote on the tariff bill. The sole
condition on which they have agreed
heretofore, in cloakroom talk, to vote
on the tariff bill before September l
has been that the specter of currency
legislation be driven away.
But the Senate majority has knuck
led down'to Pre.sllent Wilson on this
question, and the Republicans will
be able to dictate the speed wi.'n
which legislation will be handled.
Progressive Republicans will have
an inning, urging th* adoption of the
inheritance tax and tariff commis
sion amendments to the tariff bill. The
discussion of these win require i
week or more. Extended discuss!
of the income tax section is promised
also.
The informal arrer ment to go ahead
with currency legislation means. It is
predicted, that the tariff bill will not
be disposed of b "ore October 1. Cur
rency' legislation will require, accord
ing to Senate prophets, at least a
month after.

By Senator Dillingham.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.—A de-
tailed defense of the protective pol
icy was made in the Senate to-day
by Senator Dillingham, of Vermont.

system since I860 the production of
American mills has increased from
two billion dollars a year to twenty
billion dollars in 1910. He said the
intrease In the value of the farm
products since 1870 show's a jump
from <1,958.000.000 to $8,417,000,000,
an increase of 330 per cent.
"The most serious disaster which
has ever come to American indus
tries came during the last adminis
tration of President Cleveland, when
the Wilson-Gorman tariff act became
a law," said Senator DilHngham.
"Immediately following the return of
the Republican party to power and
-tinder the provisions of the Dingley
law, the country entered on a period
of prosperity unequaled in the his
tory of this or any other nation.”
Senator Dillingham declared t
pending tariff bill discriminated
against the New England division of
States in favor of the Southern
States, particularly with relation to
their textile industries.

MEN OF GEORGIA
For the Son of Man Is Come
to Seek and to Save That Which

Luke 19:10
The House gave $30,000 to the reformatory for girls by House Bill
No. 4
The committee on Appropriations of the Senate, of which SENATOR
W. W. STARK is Chairman, offered two amendments to the Bill. Each
was designed to cut off $10,000 from the already slender appropriation.
The Bill had originally provided $75,000.
The Senate agreed to one amendment—the other it killed—leaving the
appropriation $20,000, which will enable the State to make a good
beginning.
But SENATOR STARK fought even this. He sent an amendment
to the desk. The clerk read it.
NONE LAUGHED. FEW SMILED.
The Senate’s President ruled the amendment out of order.
The purpose of it was only to ridicule the idea of the Bill.
SENATOR STARK said further that if the measure were made the
law, next year would come committees urging the State to take care of
CATS AND DOGS as well as GIRLS.
Again none laughed. Few smiled.
But many thanked God for the MANHOOD OF THE MAJORITY
of Georgia.
Men were thinking, not of ribald salaciousness—but of the girl—the
pitiable child whose life and soul depend upon such an home—
They were recalling the thousands of dollars given to the care of
hogs and cattle, and to the killing of bugs. They resented the sneer at
helping children— even though the children be girls.
SENATOR TARVER demonstrated that Georgia does not believe in
damning children.
Likewise did SENATOR FOSTER.
As did SENATOR HUIE.
And SENATOR ELKIN by his words revealed the unutterable
emptiness of the sneering amendment.
SENATORS JONES and DUBOSE spoke for suffering humanity.
But SENATOR M’GREGOR opposed the measure. Economy—the
saving of a dollar—was his cry—
Nevertheless, the call of the “Ayes” and “Nays” disclosed that thir
ty-two Senators of Georgia believe in protecting and saving girls. Only
ten voted against the Bill. And it was passed.
Friends rushed it across the Capitol to the House.
SPEAKER BURWELL called the House to order. JOHN Y. SMITH,
of Fulton, moved that the House concur in the action of the Senate.
PICQUET, of Richmond, obtained the floor.
He attacked the Bill. He tried to amend it.
WIMBERLY, of Bibb, replied to him in words that burned.
SHUPTRINE, a friend of the measure, interrupted WIMBERLY to
ask;
“Do you think there is a chance of this House accepting that amend
ment?” ^
“No,” he thundered. “Not if there are any men with red blood in
their veins on the floor of this House.”
“Then don’t let’s argue. Vote,” said SHUPTRINE.
And SPEAKER BURWELL put the question.
The hall reverberated with a chorus of “Ayes”—the one hundred
and fifteen who originally voted for the measure had gathered other men
—the House was almost a unit for HOUSE BILL NO. 4.
Thank God for this!
A list of the men who have helped in this—AND TO MAKE PRO
BATION A PART OF THE LAW OF GEORGIA—would include two-
thirds of the members of both houses.
Doing notable work were Olive, Myrick, Wright, Blackburn, Nun-
nally, Culpepper, Jones of Coweta, Hollberg, Davidson, Mills and Gower,
as well as those named above.
But Georgia owes not only these—she owes every member of the
House and Senate who voted for these measures a debt of gratitude.
God will reward.
And the saved boy and girl will call them blessed.
