bers of Revolutionary Societies
Under Ban in Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 Ab»olute
♦•xdunlon of militant suffragist*,
lever* in sabotage and all member*
of revolutionary societies in Russia
and other foreign countries, is pro
vided under an amendment secretly
adopted by the House Immigration
Committee to the pending immigra
tion b1H.
When the adoption of this amend
menf became known here Chi* after
noon 1t caused the utmost surprise
Tta aooeprtanoe by Congress would pr«-
verrt the United States becoming a
haven for political refugees
The amendment debars from the
TTnlted States all persons believing in
the deafnicHon of property or be
longing to revolutionary' organiza
tion*. It 1* the most sweeping ever
proposed by a committee of either
honse.
Representative .fames Manahnn, of
Minnesota, Progressive Republican,
led the fight against the amendment.
Representative A. P. Gardner, recent
ly a Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, is reported
to have voted for it, along with the
Democratic majority. Representative
Burnett, of Alabama, is chairman of
the committee.
This attempt to abolish the tradi
tional "right of asylum" for political
radical* fleeing from foreign lands to
the United States is expected to
arouse Instant protest throughout the
country. When the immigration bill
was before the Senate last year. Sen
ator La Follette attached Senator
Root for having placed in the bill a
mild provision which might exclude
i evolutionists.
‘There are 1 suspect, many bun
dled* of automobiles in Georgia that
ar* not. properly licensed and num
bered, and If the owners thereof knew
they were guilty of a misdemeanor In
this matter, I feel sure, they would
apply and get their tags," said Sec
retary of State Phil ‘ ’ook to-day.
"1 have had reported to me from
one town alone 26 unlicensed ears. 1,
however, arn not the man to whom
these reports should be made If
they are maoe to the Sheriff of the

Burglars Get Little
Iu 2 Peachtree Raids
Proprietors of two Peachtree
stores opened their places of busi
ness Friday morning to find that bur
glars had been there during the night.
Nothing of value was taken.
Burglars forced an entrance into
the Yancey Hardware Company at
No 134 Peachtree street and ran
sacked the stock. They got four re
volvers. They entered on the Forsyth
street side of the building The L.
W. Rogers store at No. 109 Peach
tree street also was visited, pre
sumably by the same persons The
cash register was broken open, but
the robers got nothing, because the
day's receipts had been banked the
night before
Methodists Oppose
Carnegie's Millions
TALLAHASSEE, FI,A. Dec 12
Resolutions indorsing the action of
the bishops in refusing the offer of
11,000,000 made by Andrew Carne
gie to Vanderbilt University, were
passed by the Florida Conference of
the Methodist Church, In session here
This follows similar action by con
ferences In Alabama, Georgia, North
Carolina and other States
do not think there should be a single 1
ui numbered • ar in the State, and a I
few arrests would bring about such a I
condition, I feel sure.
"Wo have issued nearly 24,000 mini- |
bers n>) far, and I guess we should
have issued over 26,000.
"There ia another very widespread |
misapprehension about the automo
bile law that 1* going to get some
body Into trouble sooner or later, and J
this should be regulated, too Many j
people seetn to think that the State,
gives a. courtesy of 30 days to all cars i
brought into the State bearing the
tag of another State The State does
do that, provided the owner of the 1
car is h non-resident and Is simply |
sojourning in Georgia temporarily.,
But If the owner of the car lives in
Georgia he has no courtesy extended
to him, 30 days or otherwise -he is
immediately subject to tax.
"Sometimes people buy cars in, say,
Alabama, and they come Into Georgia
bearing Alabama fags. These tag*
are no good in Georgia If the owners
of such cars live here. The 30 days'
courtesy merely applies to outsiders
visiting in Georgia, and if they re
main more than 30 days they must
get a Georgia number "
Governor Blafon reached Atlanta
Thursday afternoon from a ten days’
visit to New York. He is in the ex
ecutive offices <>f tiie Capitol to-day.
Miss Constance Schley, a. graduate
of the Georgia Normal School and an
authority on educational matters,
rather severely arraigns the common
school system of Georgia in a recent
statement, and what she says, white
it will not be agreed to in all quar
ters, nevertheless will command re
spect generally. There are a good
many people who realize that there ’s
much truth, In part, at lea-si, in what
she says,
In part Miss Bchle.v says
"Almost the first indication that n
people manifests of awakening in
terest in children is their willingness
to tax themselves locally and liberal
ly for better schools, better srhooi-
houses, better teachers and better
teaching
"The school of permanent influ-
* i . pi d \
local Initiative, local self-sacrifice and
local tax in behalf of good schools:
and the problem can be solved in no
other way.
"Only two States in the Union at
tempt to solve the common-school
problem with great lumpsums appro
priated out of the State Treasury.
.Mississippi is one and Georgia is th*'
other; and the rank of these two
States in the column of Illiteracy is
forty-fifth and forty-sixth. During
the last twenty >ear» the common-
school appropriation of Georgia ha*
been nearly quadrupled, but Geor
gia’s place in the illiteracy column
remains exactly the same’
"Ours is a mistaken policy. Noth
in Is clearer than this The rn^fj)
mon school problem can not be solve I
In this way. It never was solved this
way n any State of the Union
"Local taxation for schools has be
gun In Georgia and local school sys
tems are multiplying, but our reli
ance is still mainly upon legislative
appropriations.
Ti e policy • fuftlla and foollah,
and this ought to he said bravely and j|
convincingly in every community in||
Georgia.
"We shall never have country
schools of permanent influence with
out tin* local pride that is equal to a
local school tax. Twenty-nine coun
ties of the State have county-wide
loeal-ta x school systems. There ought
to he 148 such counties in Georgia, all
of them under adequate, efficient su
pervision.”
The Governor has been requested j
to Increase the Georgia committee on j
next year’s world-tv Ida celebration of
the peace pact of Ghent-—whereby
war wjis concluded between England
and the United‘ States, following the
unpleasantness of 1812—from five to J
llfly or a hundred,
This committee was named origi- j
nally several years ago by Governor \
Joseph M. Terrell, but since that time
the scope of fh-e proposed celebration
has Been very greotlv widened, and It .
is the very earnest desire of its pro- .
motors to make It of as great slgnlfl- I
canoe as possible. . .. j
'Hie Governor w’lll comply with the
request and will name two or more
members from each Senatorial dls- |
trlct in the State. After the com
mlttee has been named those at th**
head of the movement will inform
the committeemen of the program a* j
at present outlined and as to the i
work yet remaining to be done
