Welcome Autocracy. y
Republics Won’t Hurt You.
Pay Your Debts, That's All
Learn From Foolish Rus_s_fl
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
More troops are sent by the allies
into Germany. The German repub
lic. is knocked down. Some ‘other
government, vague as yet, but un
doubtedly reactionary, is set up.
That is not cheerful spring news
for a world that needs an end of
war. The struggle between autoc
racy and social democracy in Ger
many is to start again, apparently,
with the British Empire, perhaps,
and the French republic on the side
of social democracy, at first.
With the emperor ruling, the Social
Democrats were able to force their
views on German autocracy and got
concessions, with many sops liks old
age pensions, industrial insurance at
employers’ cost, etc.
What chance will autocracy have
against democracy now, with Hohen
zollerns discredited, population tired
of war, disease, hunger and extermi
nation? A few weeks will tell.
The latest revolution is under
stood easily enough; it is an old
story. France had her republic,
and the second class Bonaparte, Na
poleon third, humbly and gratefully
became president. At the first
chance he kicked out republicanism
and made himself emperor.
He looked like a grand success,
until the test came. France pros
pered at the top, the court was mag
nificent, the republic unregretted.
But Bismarck was watching his
chance, which came in 1870. Down
went the bogus Napoleon, up came
the French republic once more, im
poverished, humiliated, but it still
lives and the other day, with much
outside help, it knocked down the
German Empire that in 1870 had
knocked down the French Empire.
So it goes in history’s whirligig.
The German republic and the har
nessmaker presidents are put out
Just what has come in we. don't
know, but it is surely a plan to have
Germany governed from above, with
fat rewards for a few, and the usual
“just enough” to keep the crowd,
with stomachs moderately full, fairly
contented. Intelligence alweays
reaches the top—for there it finds
its reward. Intelligence in Germany
was at the top close to the emperor,
just as in England it is now at the
top, close to the king, and just as it
is in America, close to the organized
money, which is king here,
Intelligence and cunning know
how to get along with an emperor,
a king or a ruling financial class.
They understand that kind of gov
ernment. The other kind, rule by
the people themselves, is strange.
It frightens the clever class and
makes them feel insecure.
German intelligence has got rid of
popular rule, rebels against it, just
as American intelligence would re
bel against any plan to have this
country run by farmers, mechanics
and others of the crowd.
It was inevitable that Germany
should go through this effort of the
upper classes to bring back “the
good old times.” Success of the ef
fort is uncertain. For Germany has
millions of thinking workmen, train
ed for forty years by the Social Dem
ocratic party. And it may not be so
easy to force them back under bay
onet rule to the old system—*"touch
your cap, bow your head and be
.grateful that you are alive.”
Allies- send troops to Germany and
prepare for war again, because of
uncertain conditions, and especia]'ly|
because the new ruling power must
gain popularity by at least pre;l
tending to obtain modification of the
~ peace terms and the heavy peace
payments.
If the new government: can pre
tend successfully, while giving the
,allies satisfactory secret assurance
that it really means to pay in full,
and if it can hold the reins that it
has seized, the allies will be content
and merely make demonstrations to
help the new gavernment along.
For modern nations, even republics
like the French and American, pre
fer to deal with what they call
“stable government” and nothing is
more stable than autocracy, while it
lasts. It can promise anything and
keep the promise. A republic can
not always do that—as England
Jearns, with Mr. Wilson unable to de
liver Article X and other parts of
peace league promises,
One thing wild interest future |
writers of history in this tempo
rary destruction of the German re
public, if it goes through.
Let German autocracy re-establish
itself, without menacing France or
America, and those two republics
will acquiesce most gracefully in the
destruction of a young republic and
the revival of an old autocracy.
Historians in the Thirteenth Cen
tury may ask: “Why did the great
American republic sacrifice men
and millions in fighting Russia’dé at
tempt to réplacé czarism with popu
lar government, and never lift a
finger to prevent the destruction of
the German republic by autocracy?”
The answer will be that popular
government in Russia refused to
pay the czar's debts. Part of that
debt was held in this glorious re
public and thousands of millions of
the debt were held in the French
republic.
German reaction on the other
hand, while destroying republican
government, promised to make the |
Germans pay their huge debt to the
outside world—and that was what
interested the great republies.
“pay what you owe, then do as you
please Wwith your people,” seems to
be the modern republican motto. hl
might surprise LaFayette and
Franklind, but they are old
fashioned.

Association Formed for Southeast
Plans to Develop Great
Export Commerce.
Formation of the South Atlantic
States Association, effected at
Greensboro, N. C., last week by com
mercial bodies of North and South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida, is, ac
cording to Hollins N. Randolph of
Atlanta, who was elected vice presi
dent for Georgia, a joining of forces
to. develop South Atlantic ports in
world commerce. Mr. Randolph says
the organization has the co-operation
of Mid-Western commercial bodies
and shippers.
The association has five principal
objectives, as follows:
I—To retain rates put into effect
by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion December 1.
2—To have these rates established
for inbound shipments.
3—To deyelop by practical means
the facilities of South Atlantic ports.
4—To establish a branch of the de
partment of commmerce in Atlanta.
s—To retain ships allocated by the
United States Shipping Board until
the new trade routes are established.
SAVING IN RATES.
Saving in freight rates from Mid-
Western points to export centers is
averaged at about b per cent for the
South Atlantic ports over New York
and the New England ports, accord
ing to Mr. Randolph. In addition to
this, there is the saving in time, par
ticularly for shipments consigned to
South American trade,
Already the South Atlantic inter
ests are beginning to meet opposi
tion to the use of the ports for ex
porting. Within a few days after the
railroad lines were turned back to
their owners by the government, the
Pennsylvania Lines filed a protest
against the port rates with the Inter
state Commerce Commission seeking
to have them annulled. This peti
tion is before the commission. A
long list of reasons for the protest is
cited by the railroad, principal
among which is the fact that the
line issued heavy bonds with the ex
pectation of developing further its
facilities at Northern ports which
would work a hardship on it if the
South Atlantic rates are allowed to
stand.
“The Eastern lines have been put
ting it over on the South Atlantic
ports for fifty years and now that
we have begun to receive a fair por
tion of the business they are seek
ing to take it away from us,” said
Mr. Randolph. “The purposes of the
South Atlantic States Association
will be to put up a fight to retain
those rights and to take advantage of
our opportunity to develop our just
share of world trade and export busi
ness.
ALREADY DEVELOPING.
“Already the South Atlantic ports
are developing as a result of the
rates granted by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Savannah is now
the third largest port in the country
and the possibilities for the other
ports such as Charleston, Brunswigk,
Jacksonville and Tampa are unlim
ited. We have practical assurances
from Washington that the ra%es will
be made applicable to import ship
ments through these ports and the
association program is to grasp the
opportunity and develop it to the
fullest extent.
“It is planned to devise practical
ways and methods for developing
Southern ports to handle the increas
ing business. This probably will be
done by raising funds through issu
ance of harbor bonds.”
The eleven ships allocated to the
South Atlantic ports include several
of those John Barton Payne, chair
n}an of the Shipping Board, was re
strained from selling to the British
government by William Randolph
Hearst through injunction proceed
ings. The association deems it neces
sary that these vessels remain in the
service of the ports until the trade
routes are permanently established.
It is estimated here by Mr. Randolph
that this will take at least ten years.

Something new in activities of de-t
partment stores is being inaugurated
by the J. M. High Company in the
establishment of a club and commu
nity house for their young women,
employees at 28 Carnegie way. This
building, owned by Mrs. J. M. High,
will be remodeled and attractively‘
furnished and ready for occupancy
probably by April 1. ‘
The company will spend $3,000 re-i
modeling and furnishing the home.
The basement will be fitted up as a}
gymnasium and recreation hall. The
first floor will be furnished as par
lors where the Jo Hi Club and other
company organizations may meet. The
remainder of the house will be fitted
up as living quarters for out of town
girls unable to find living accommo
'duéin'ns in the city.
NUMBER LIMITED.
At first the house will be able to
take care of only 30 or 35 girls, nut
as the need grows the quarters will
be enlarged. Miss Alyce McNeeley,
educational and employment secretary
of the company, who directs the girls
in salesmanship and efficiency train
ing will have charge of the commu
nity home. |
“We will only be able to take care|
of a limited number at first,” said
one of the officials of the company.!
“Later, if the need arises, we willl
make additions. But, with labor con-{
ditions and the scarcity of help, if
we can only take care of girls froml
the small towns who come to Atlanta‘
to work for us until such time as she‘
can, find suitable gquarters elsewhere,
we will be aiding her and helping our‘
own situation materially. Our tran
tsients are a problem, especially when|
lthey are the younger girls. 1
“For some time officials of the com
‘pany-had some such plan in view, but
lit was only recently that we thought
of this location. 7 .iat makes it ate
tractive, for it is in the heart of thq
city, convenient to church and thea
ter and within walking distance of
the store. Our rates will be as rea
{sonable _:ts_p(ls_siblp."
CLUB FOR GIRLS.
“The home will be a club for the
Jo Hi girls and a home for the girls
employed in the store who are room
ing and boarding in the ecity,” stated
Miss Alyce McNeely. “We are go
ing to make it as attractive and
‘homelike as possible and with every
rthing convenient and tasteful. Of
course there will be rules, but just a
’few neecssary ones like those which
govern the Y. W. C. A, homes.
“The Jo Hi Girls’ Club was organ
ized about a month ago with an open-‘
ing membership of about 85. Now it
numbers more than 100 members and
is increasing. It is a branch of the
local Y. W. C.-A. and we have had
some wonderful meetings since its or
ganization.”
The company has also provided a
restroom, shower baths and recrea
tion hall in the store. |
An employees’ party is being}
planned as the opening feature of the
new community house for the first
Iweek of April |
Applications for Shrine
Ceremonial End March 17
Wednesday, March 17, is the last
date Applications will be received by
Recorder Argard for the Shrine cere
monial in the auditorium of the Tem
ple March 31. Indications are this
class will be of unusual size, contid
ering it is scarcely a month since the
last ceremonial, but should this class
be smaller than the last it will have
its compensation in bringing the no
bility together more frequently and in
insuring that none of the asplirants
for Shrine memebrship will get lost
on the great desert in the pilgrimage
to Mecca to receive the sacred and
sublime secret of the order.
The big ceremonial March 31 will
inaugurage the week of preliminary
work for Yaarab's Circus, April 8
and 9, and it is planned that mem
bers of the nobility who are to par
ticipate in the circus will have therr
parts assigned to them at that time,
and gome announcement of the really
startling shrine features for the cir
cus will then be made.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March 15.
Truman H. Newberry, heretofore a
background figure personally in Ih9]
vote fraud and conspiracy charges
forming the basis of his trial with
84 co-defendants, was singled out for
the government’s bitterest verbal as
sault Monday in the first of the pros
ecution’s closing arguments, delivered
by Special Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Eichhorn.
Mr. Eichhorn charged the Newber
ry senatorial campaign did not orig
inate with Michigan citizens, but was
planned in New York b, Newberry
and his agent, Frederick Cody, and
the Michigan senator was in constat
touch with expenditures of more than
$176,000 in his bc alf,
“Here is a man,” declared Eichhorn,
“who in order to prevail upon people
to elect him to an office which in
six rears would pay him a total of
¥45,000 caused to be expended the
sum of $176,000 to bring about that
election. This thing is intolerable.”
In beginning his address Mr. Eich
horn again brought up the main con
tention of the prosecution, that the
defendants conspired in expending
campaign funds in excess of $3,750
the legal limit.

Cheer Up!
By John Kendrick Bangs.
A GOOD EXAMPLE.
THE birds go singing on their
ways,
In joyous search of daily
{ood—
I like to think their little lays
Are songs of gratitude,
Because they know with lavish
care
God hath provided for their
need, .
And placed before them every
where
Their fullest daily need.
And if the birds all greet the
day
With praiseful lyrics, sweet
and strong,
Why should not I do e'en as they
And mingle quest with song?

Governor Bickett of
N. C. Favors Suffrage
RALEIGH, N. C., March 15—Gov.
T. W. Bickett today announced in
favor of ratification of the Susan
B. Anthony amendment at the special
session of the North Carolina Gen
eral Assembly which he will call in
July. While he has not been a woman
‘suffrage advocate, the governor takes
the view that it is coming, anyway,
‘and that North Carolina would stand
in the way of progress if it refused
to raitfy.
This means Governor Bickett will
recommend ratification to the special
session early in July, primarily to
pass upon taxation matters.

Convicted of Felony, Leader in
Prison Here May Be
| Put in Race.
l Eugene V. Debs, in the federal
'prison here, has announced that he
{ will be a candidate for the Sootalist
| nomination for the presidency, This
information was obtained Monday
{ from his attorney, Samuel Castleton.
| Mr. Castleton said consent to use
| Debs’ name on ticket was obtained
j only after considerable persuasion.
| A delegation of Socialists from Michi-.
| gan vigited the imprisonei leader sev
teral days ago.
i Mr. Debs, according to his lawyer,
iis the recognized leader of the So
'rialist party, and is looked upon as
the one man who can bring both
wings of that party to unifiel aetion.®
“He will bring the libe 2l and radi
cal wings together in the election,”.
said Mr. Castleton, “and will gain
many votes as a resuit of his con
viction. More than 1,000,020 of the:
newly franchised women will sup-"
port him for that reason alone.”
Asked for his legal opinion on Mr.
Debs’ eligibility, since his conviction
of a felony, Mr, Castleton said Debs
was purely a political prisoner, and
public opinion would compel the ad
ministration to Adeclare an amnesty
which would free ali political prison- j
ers.
Mr Debs was convicted of violating
the espionage act, obstructing the
draft, and other offeuses, and was
sentenced to ten years.
Possibilities for candilates for Vice
President on the Sozialist tickst were
mentioned as Kate K. O'Harc, alsa
serving a prison sentence; Scott
Nearing and James C'Neal. These,
however, Atlanta Socialists pointed
out Monday, are merely possibilities,
and nothing definite will be decided
until the New York convention. Debs’
nomination was regarded as a cer
tainty.
