Since thet time, although he line never

The caae la one peculiarly worthy of
the consideration of the commlaalon

"Fifteen year* la a lung time to wait

Of Boley* Daniels. The cnae calls for

Rumors of War.
• The Georgian has received several
Inquiries from readers as to the real
causes, the nature and the scope of the
present International "unpleasantness"
existent between the L'nltrd States mid
Japan.
There have been ntld rumors that a
war, would result from the trouble. All
of these have emanated from European
capitals where the penny-e-llneva boll
their pots by Imagining International
’conspiracies, secret treaties and alli
ances, and wars and rumors of war.
The famous "war clnuda In the Bal
kans" have ceased to be remunerative
and the Journalists have sought other
fleldr.
Japan has a grievance against the
t'nlted State#, but the grievance Is of
such relative InsIgnlQcance that the
arbitrament of arms In Hie caae would
lie a howling absurdity.
It Is this. Tlie school government of
Han Francisco has passed a local law
providing for the segregation of the
Japanese children: that Is. that tlie
white children shall be separated froir.
tin Japanese, a special school house tie-
hig used for tlie latter.
The Japanese government lias taken
diplomatic umbrage at this action, and
claims that It is a violation of the
Clause of the treaty of 11*4 whirls

TTUnt they way about the fee system ia to be taken ns a nunsound ex-
* presalon of business sense, and not an attack on Individuals.
As m business proposition, there can be brought against It not one sdn-
I tIlia of logic or argument. *
Tlie proposition Is this:
Fulton county Is giving away at leant 140,000 of money to Individuals/
This Is the re'sult of the maintenance of the fee system for officials, a relic
of mediaeval diiys.
The time lias come fin- thl* wanton waste of money to cease. It is time
for the people of Fulton county and the people of Georgia to awaken to the
criminal folly of this system, which puts Into the pocket* of Individuals a
small fortune each year, for which no equivalent Is received.
Fulton county secured last year from Its taxpayer* the net sum of
$32J,OO0 for its expenses.
Flit the waste due to the fee system at the absurd minimum of $4(4,000.
If this $40,000 saving, over and above fair xulurles to be paid to the
county officials, be put In the county ' offers, it would be possible to reduce
the county tax rote exactly 12 1-2 per cent. In other words, where u citizen
now pays to the county $100 In taxes, lie would, If the fee system were’
abolished, pay only $#7,30. * , .
Grand Juries have for years been attacking and assailing this system,
but nothing has resulted. It Is now about time for an awakening on the
part of the taxpayer*.
Head what the grand Jury further says:
“This vicious system seems u* strongly intrenched as ever, the mem
bers of tlie legislature from this county having absolutely Ignored the re
peated recommendations of the various grand juries during all these years.
“Jf the bounty executive committee could be induced to submit, the
question to a vote of the people, wc feel sure that an overwhelming ma
jority of the votes would set the seal of their disapproval and condemna
tion on the system, but up to this time each succeeding county executive
committee has declined to so submit the question.
“it Is a curious situation and really a travesty on republican institutions,
that a few men should be able, year after year, to thwart what seems to
be the Almost unanimous wish of the voters of the county.”
Let the citizens demand a light to vote on this question.

The first wa* the decision of the court of appeals In sustaining the

The'other is the announcement made by the notorious Pat McCarren

it is alleged in the suit tiled through
McDunlel, Alston ft Black that through
collusion between the Metropolitan
Mercantile and Realty Company, of
Sew York, and the Metropolitan Mu
tual Benefit Association, of New York,
the money of the negroes filing the suit
has been taken and used illegally.
The literature of the two companies
hus a picture of the American Tract
Society building In It, leading Ignor
ant negroes to believe that that struc
ture Is the property of the company in
which they are uskod to make Invest
ment. In the pamphlet the negro read
er Is led to believe that his lot can be
made a bed of roses and his burden a
balloon. From the way the promoters
have put It ult the trouble the negro
stockholder in the companies would
have would be to hold^lils Income down.
And now the 33 negroes wish to know
what Is the mutter with their dividends.
They claim that they were given the
privilege of withdrawing their money
from the “benefit association” within 30
days If they so wished, but that when
they demanded It they couldn’t get It.
The holdings of the plaintiffs represent
about $1,000.

Bight here. It may be suid in pushing,
there exists an Interesting point for
students of constitutional law, to con
sider. but It I* one that In no way af
fects the Issue between Jaixm and the
United States. If the contention of
Japan, that this treaty Insures the Jap
anese children in the United mates
against school segregation {which It
does not), there would be a question as
to whether the treaty were constitu
tional and therefore valid. According
to the constitution of the United Htate*
only "all treaties made, or which shall
be made, under the authority of the
United Btutes, shall be the supreme
low of the land.’* The argument may
be made that this treaty of ISM Is no
potent than an act of congress
and that unless It adheres In every
lenticular to the constitution, it is not
“under the authority of the United
Htatas.” And there are good grounds
for attacking Its constitutionality.
But, that Is all hypothetical, allwlt In

them not. to come unto me; for of
such Is the kingdom of heaven."

and when I think <Jf the thousands of
Institutions whose chief object is the
salvation of humanity, and the millions
and millions of dollars that are being,
spent on and through these Institu

of these little waifs brands every one
of these Institutions a farce, and every
home that claims to be patriotic and
Christian a travesty. The future wel
fare of the children of any home de

Is doing for its own children, but also
upon 'what every other home Is doing

bly have more to say in the future.
In our treatment of our children there
Is one Important matter which Is very
generally lost sight of, and that Is that
we have no right to rob them of one
iota of Innocent pleasure that is within
our gift. This Is true not alone be
cause these pleasures add to their hup.
pi ness, but also because they are es
sential to the proper development of
the better nature and all the faculties
that will enuble them to see life In Its
true light. Human happiness and
moral rectitude are not naturally an
tagonistic, but go hand-in-hand,

disposition, easily managed, converted
Into a morbid, morose disposition, situ,

Joying find that It whs perfectly Justi
fiable in asking, because of the fool,
cranky, Idiotic notions of fanatical pa
rents, without; even an attempt at an
explanation of why they were denied It.
Our whole idea of parental control
seems to be that of force, authority,
physical superiority, notwithstanding
the fact that through all the ages this
system has proven a miserable failure.
We forget that In « little while the
child will outgrow this authority, when
our power of control, bused upon such
absurdities, must come to an end and
the child Is left subject to Its Ideas
and notions of life, growing out of Ita
knowledge of one hide-bound. Imper

Thtf measure of every human action
Is the motive and can live only while
the iqotive exists. He who obeys the
laws of God or man from the fear of
punishment Is not a safe man when the
cover of darkness or secrecy promises
protection. Ho the child whose obe
dience to i*arents is forced will, when
It is not In danger of being detected,
act without reference to what it knows
or believes to be the wish of Its pa
rents.
With all. uduits und children, the
more real Innocent pleasure we get the
more we love and appreciate life; the
happier and more contented we are
tin* better citizens and neighbors we
are, and the more we appreciate the j
duties of helping all others to be hap- [
