Will Our Natural Increase Render Im migration Unnecessary ? A few days ago In a carefully prepared and stalls tlcal editorial The Georgian undertook to point out some of the dangers to be avoided In pressing the matter of lii.migration upon the people of these Southern and fconthwastern states. From the figures and staUstlcs of tbs .department «t Washington ws msdn tt dear tnat there had been a greet change In the nature, origin and quality of tbs lm migrants from the homogeneous and assimilable people shores. It was demonstrated that conditions bad changed materially within the paat half-century, and that whereas we were once accustomed to draw our lm- migrants from the homogenous and assimilable people or Kngland, Scotland, Ireland. France and Germany, that of late years there has been a steady drift 'of Immigra tion away from theso countries and that onr source of supply has lately come almost exclusively from the coun tries of southern Kurope. Austria, Hungary, Roumanla, Poland and aouthern Russia. It waa moreover made manifest from the cpnsni that the statistics of crime made by those Immigrants from southern Europe allow an immense difference In favor of the western Europeans, and that tho criminal annals of the country were being enormously recruited by the Isms and revolutionary spirit of the eouthern European coun tries. In stating these things we frankly axpreesed our eon acton an esa of the great necessity of this country for immigrants to supply our depleted fields of labor and to i “ rform the ever-multiplying tasks of onr advancing civ ilisation In which the scarcity of help was becoming mar* manifest and more and more menacing through the constant Increase of unthrtft and the unreliability of the negro In his exodus from the fields and, the farms to the Idleness and crime of the cities. Ws have been much impressed and much gratified by the cordial and Intelligent reception which this edito rial discussion has received from the thoughtful and Interested people of the South. Wo have messages and telegrams of endorsement and congratulation, and earnest requests that we should continue to agitate this vast and vital question along these wholesome lines. Ws publish today on Ibis page, and It Is the purpose or this editorial to direct attention to It, n thoughtful and eiimprebcnslvo article from Mr. Ilernnrd Hutller, of this ei*y, who has for many years given great thought and much Intelligent Investigation to the theme. While all "f Mr. Sqttler'a contributions nro Interesting In a high 'legree, there Is s special significance In the figure* which lie gives touching the material Increaao iu our own pop ulation. The argument of Mr. Suttler aeems to center around tlio proposition. Drat: That we do not need Immigrants, and , Second: That our own population Is growing so rap idly that In a .short time we will have all and more of the numbers which we need to populate our Industrial districts sml to Inhabit the watting acre* of this land, ir Mr. Suttler’* figures are correct, and we have every confidence In hie aeon racy and conscientious diligence snd ability, then they are profoundly-worthy of the con- snieratloa of thoughtful men. and It becomes a serious question whether our necessities are great enough at thl* tlma to tempt us to supply a present and not abso lutely essential used by importing Into our civilisation the aliens who are hot saalinUahle and who can scarcely be deemed desirable and helpful to the civilisation of the South. Mr. Suttler’a figure* will richly repay the careful rem)lug of any thoughtful man, whether he be Interested nr not In the subject of Immigration, because they indicate that the steady and constant Increase of mir population Is supplying all the needs of thl* great people, and with the numerical basis of Increaao con stantly enlarging the multiplication of people within the nest four decades will be simply enormous In numbers and in seope. Upon the statistics of Increase given by the census, n. orgla wllj have lu 1930 five and oue-hnlt mllllona of poo- pin; In 1979 nearly eight mllllona of people and In 2000 m arly fourteen millions of people. These figures Indicate how little room there will be left tor foreigners lu tills greaj country when ws provide tor the Increase of our own domestic population during the coating century. This Is no light question which Mr. Suttler touches h. re. It la deeper than even the probe which he pushes Into It W* have the finest and purest population In the "-old In these Southern states, if we are going to bring any foreign people here to share It we should make It * * i cornu* prerequisite that they shall lie of the beet and lim-lieit class of foreigners that can b« brought to our American shores, if ws call not get this class of peo ple we eaq richly afford to do without any. We are getting rich fait enough and our fields and mines and factories are growing apace. Our growth Is steady apough to satisfy the mast exacting avarice of any rea sonable Imagination, and for our own part, looking Into the future In which our children are to live and flourish, and, to settle the problem of civilisation which stretches beyond these present days, we are seriously opposed ' to any amalgamation of these great Caucasian races in the South with any people who will bring with them the infernal Jargon of the foreign tongues which makes such discord and disturbance tn. the cities of Chicago. New York and other localities where these aliens of revolu- tl-amry and lawless spirit live. We sincerely trust that no new-found seal on the part of tho land agents or the railroads which foster ’ Immigration and who have personal Interests at stake, will blind either themselves or this people to the consider- s'ion of this great question of immigration with anything The Defeat of “Gas” Addicks. The election of Col. Henry A. Dupont as a.senator Irom Delaware ends the Jong-drawn contest with "Gas Addicks which has been going on for more than eleven years. Never In the history of American politics, perhaps, has there been such a determined effort on the part of any man to override the wiabc* of bis people and thrust himself Into the upper bouse as tho president of the Bay State Gas Company has made. His optimism and perseverance alone command admiration in a char acter In which there la practically nothing else to admire. Tho chicanery practiced by Addicks has made bla name a by word, and yet he had set hi* heart so strongly on tho aenatorsjilp that nothing could cool hla ardor. In May, 1895, the vote In the Delaware legislature stood fifteen for Addlcka and fifteen for Dupont, but among the number who voted for Addlcka wbb a former speaker of the house who had become governor of the state. The right of the ex-»peeker to voto In the elec tion was contested. ‘The conubittee reported against It, and in favor of the election of CoL Dupont, who, without the contested vote, would have a majority of one. By a strict party majority of one. the senato refused to seat him. In the following yesr the Addicks and Dupont fac tion! each sent s delegation to the national Republican convention. The Dupont delegation waa seated and was thenceforward known ts the "regular" Republican party, while the Addicks faction took ths na'too of the Colon Republican party. In 1819. when a new senator was to b* chosen to succeed Hon. Oeorge Gray, s deadlock ensued snd the eenatorshlp retrained vacant. Again In 1900 each of th* two faction* sent dele, gates to the national Republican convention, and thin time the Addicks delegates were seated, but this stood the gas man In little stead, for In the following year ho was again defeated In hi* ambition to represent his state In the senate. On this occasion there were two senators to be chosen, so the adjournment of the legis lature without making a choice left the state without any representation whatever in the senate. Addicks made another unsneessful attempt to secure election In 1901. Col. Dupont, who has finally been chosen. Is s man of distinguished ancestry and of high military achieve ments. He was graduated from West Point In tho year which aaw the beginning of the elvtl war. He waa twice brevetted for gallantry on the field and was award ed a medal of honor by congress. He resigned from the army In 1874. and five years later became president or the Wilmington and Northen railroad, a position which he still holds. It will be a general relief to the country that this long contest Is over. Addicks has made himself about as unpopular as possible, and has incidentally learned that It sometimes requires something besides mousy to get Into the United States senate. He may now be al lowed to “sink to silence like a tavern brawl,” and let poof little Delaware have h«r Juat representation In the senate. 1 ii-k.i than a rit-ar conception of its mt-aniiig and a high | The Shame in Savannah. appreciation of Its dangers and a keen sens* of the duly „ (he d(>patcbo . ln the mornlni{ papcra carry a truth which so great a people as ours owe not leas to Its fu| acrfmm 5 . e8tenU _., |„ savamiah, then past and IU present than to IU great and homogeneous ! e |h , ok lh# t|mo ha , whPn th0 df . cpnt forceg of our Georgia civilization should rise lu protest against the political conditions which make possible such scenes and future. “The Jungle” for Our Readers. The Georgian takes peculiar pleasure In announc ing that arrangements have been made for the aerial publication In theso columns of Upton Sinclair’s epoch- making novel, ’’Ths Jungle,’’ which was primarily re sponsible for the exposure of the packing house abuses In Chicago. Not within th* past quarter of a century has there boen such deep and widespread Indignation on the part of the American people as has been aroused oVer tho revelations made by this groat and vigorous novel, sub sequently confirmed by the Investigations of Presi dent Roosevelt's special commlaaloners. It has stirred the clrtllxod world and promlsoa to be the direct meant of brluglag about one of tho moat important reforms this country has ever known. In a vague sort of way It was known all along that the methods of tho beef barona were not as clean and wholeeomo na they should have been, but when they were revealed ln all their appalling mlnuteneae by Mr, Sinclair, who has devoted year* lo the study of the sub- Ject, the public was stunned and startled. The facta on which bis novel was baaed have been given.to the public In official form, and now there la general and Insistent demand for the book ttaelf. Arrangement* have been perfected for giving this novel ln eurial form to our readers, and tho publication of it will begin at once. The Installmente will run dally until the publication le completed. Never In the history of the country has the book of the hour, a copyrighted novel designed tor sale only in book form and not tor syndicate publication, been given through a newspaper In serial form at the very height of Its popularity, but this Tho Georgian has been able to arrange for and we feel confident that our rend ers will be gratified to find themselves the beneficiaries of-this enterprise. "The Jungle" la not merely a problem novel, how ever. While it expoaea the corruption of the beef trust methods and the disregard for human' life entailed by this system, a charming love story runs through It and makes It one of the most readable novels of the season outside of Its value ea an exposure of the Packingtown horrors. The presses are running night and day lo supply the demand for the work tn book form, but In the meantime th* readers of The Georg.jn will not have to watt. It will be brought to their doors tn dally Installments, beginning Immediately. The Bookish Thcoric. We are told that, reading maketh a full man, so let's all read; Years ago dear old Tommy Moor*, we believe it waa. Insisted that. My only books, were woman's looks. And folly's all they taught me;” Emily Dickinson, dear, dead recluse, declares. "There Is no frigate like a book. To bear us leagues away. Nor any cottrser like a iwge Of (trancing poetry;" Well there are poets, and there la poetry. Some we bear, some bore na. and some lay bare great truths; book should be a friend, a counsellor, a companion; good book la the heat of the man who wrote It: Hla thought and soul held-In fond vellum, and we may turn the page and see. We love a beauteous isible book, and hold him In our heart; The Bible Is the best of hooka; Shakespeare one of the greatest books; Tennyson one uf the sweetest hooka; With these three a fellow can gel along fairly well; Go get the* to a bookcry. aucb methods In an election In the state. The city of Savannah la one of tho moat charming and beautiful In the South, the oldest and most aristocratic city of this commonweaftb. It has been for more than a hundred years the type of refinement, of culture, of dig- utty. and of social and commercial honor lu tho 8outh- And yet, upon the sheer drift of factional politics. It has fallen Into methods which are not only disgraceful, but are criminal in their violation both of law and of mor als In the state. Such an election as that of yesterday. In which money was used not only freely bnt with the brazen Impudence of the streets, parading Its political bribes under the very nose of the Insulted law, buying and selling sacred bal lots In the open mart as If they were bananas or red her rings, la enough to make the cheek of every Georgian mantle with the shame of the spectacle. One who stood upon the streets of Savannah during the scenes described In the dispatches of the dally papers, would have found no point of difference between the po litical orgies of this beautiful metropolis of the seaboard and the worst political picture made by any gong of ward heelers lu tho purlieus and prcclocti of New York or Chi cago. No matter how high the spirit of faction may have run lo the city of Savannah, no matter bow keen the ambitions of candidates and their friends—even if the Is sues hod been absolutely vital and not merely personal and factional, there could be no possible excuse for the shameful and disgraceful prostitution of the ballot In tho hands of the voters of the etty. There Is no combination of circumstances that could over justify such violation of ths law and such prostitution of ths suffrages which are supi>osed to conserve the liberty and the prosperity of free men. Of course, the tien who drifted Into these orgies of politics did so thoughtlessly and without due considera tion of tho magnitude of their offense against the law and the ballot We have no doubt that many men who par ticipated In these shameful scenes of yesterday were men who enjoy and deserve the highest repute for probity and honor In their personal and business affairs. We have no doubt that these men would scorn to do In busi ness or ln social life anything that was'beneath the high plane of the gentleman and the law-abiding citizen. And yet they have drifted easily and naturally, un der a strange and perverted view of political exigencies and political necessities. Into a series of crimes against both the ballot and the law. which are calculated to un dermine every principle of morality, and justice, and po litical honor, and ultimately the foundations of the state and of the republic. We do not hesitate to say that If Savannah does not Itself promptly react In protest and In reform against the scenes of yesterday, then the state of Georgia, through Its Judicial officers, should take such cognizance as njaj; be necessary, and such methods os may be possible to prevent a recurrence of these shameful demoralizations. When a beautiful, cultured city flings Into the very teeth of a lofty and boqorablo civilization a ballot box drama that shocks and degrades the political morals of the stato, it !b high time that somebody on the outside should grasp the Iniquity by the throat. If the true and the good men within Its walla are paralyzed by fear or be smirched by apathy and Indifference. It Is Burely a timely and a necessary appeal to the next legislature to pass with heartiness and enthusiasm the bill of the Hon. Boykin Wright, of Richmond, or some measure akin to It, that will stamp the condemnation of Georgia's representative assembly upon methods and practices that are growing to be more end more a stench ln the nostrils of decency and the itate. Heard on the Coruerj (By a Non-Combatant) Said Clark unto Hoke, “You'ro a fake snd a Joke, I know what you nre, With your charity Bar, You're a'sneak and a frog. And a base demagogue. It's a Populist trick, . And you need a swift kick." Said Hoke unto Clark, "Your friend Hamp is a lark. You're a railroad gossoon. And yon cling-to the coon. You're a swine In disguise, And I’ll black both your eyes. Just step out tn the park,” 8aid Hoke unto Clark. Said both unto each, , - “You're a bird and a peach. A liar, a thief. And a cannibal chief,” And the public stands by, With a wink o' the eye, And wonders forsooth If they both tell the truth. IMIMHIMHIHMHMMIHHUtl DOES THE SOUTH NEED FOREIGN IMMIGRATION ?

Mnxey, Go., June (, 1944. CHRIST AND HELL. Editor of The Georgian: Much discussion has been provoked by the recent preaching of Evangelist Torruy in your mJdzt on th# subject of hell. Th* Universalis!, th, Unitarian and the general coterie of doubters of Odd's word hBYe been aroused and much mire and dirt have been stirred up In the gospel pond In Georgia. Well, the preaching of the truth will stir peo ple and the devil, too, and but little harm will accrue to the gospel cause where the truth Is boldly set forth. This whole doctrine of hell revolves UJMH1 the axle of faith In the words of the Son of God. Do the people believe what Jesus said? He had much to say pn this autdect and Hla plain words nre unmistakable. Here or* some of Hla sayings: -If thy Ttnnd offend thee, cut It off: it la batter for tbaa to enter Into life maimed, Utah having two bands to go Into, hell, into the lire that never shall be quenched. If thy foot offend thee, cut It off: It Is better for thee to enter into life halt, than having two feet to be cast Into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched. If thine eye offend thee, pluck It out: It hi better for thee to enter Into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be coat In hell fire. (Mark lx: 49, 45. 47.) The Son of Man shall send forth His angels, and they ahnll gather out of His kingdom all thlnga that offend nnd them which do Iniquity; and shall cast thorn Into a furnnee of fire: there shall be walling nnd gnashing of teeth. (Matthew xlllitl. «.) Ye serpent*, ye generation of vipers, how can ve escape the damnation of hell? (Met. xxlll:9S.) These shall go nwny into rxrrlastlng punishment, but the right- eous Into life eternal. (Mat. xxv:44.j In hell he lifted up hi* eyes, bring In torments, and said. Father Abraham, send I^xartts that he may dip the tip of hts finger In water and cool my longue, for I am tormented In this flame. (Luke xvl:2l, tt.)” Th* gun* of the antis In this battle have been turned on Dr. Torrey. Why, the doctor la na Innocent as a baba Hack of the evangelist Is Jesus Christ nnd the Bible, and ha has said nothing that should have drawn th* (Ire of the unbelievers to himself. Dr. Torrey him been a plain teacher of the words of Jesus. It Is not what the earnest -readier has said, but It la what Jesus has said, for tbe preacher has simply relterqle-1 the word* of the Ron of Ore!. Let the whole coterie of unbe lievers take thrir eye# off of Dr. Tor rey and focus them upon Christ. Lot the mighty (7) guns they are shooting be turned upon the Son of Ond, He is th* one who said It. These unbelievers In their rage are tearing down the won! of Cod: they nre digging out the foundations of the Scripture*. Jesus Christ and the Bible are responsible for the doctrine of hrll and not Dr. Torrey. Those who right should not be as one who heats the air. It la a question of belief or disbelief of the Bible. The Book soya there la • heaven, Everybody twlleres there la except the blind Atheist. Th* Book says there Is a hell. Jesus Christ says there I*. Thousands say they do not believe there Is a hell. Thousand* have written volume* against the doc trine, but there It stands Imbedded In the very organic structure of Chris tianity. Men may sgy there Is no hell of torment, but the assertion dare not affect the fact. If there Is any fact In the Word of Ood hell Is one of them It la not * pleasant fact, but It it t I act.
