FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT.
Judge Parker Speaks Before Georgia
State Bar Association.

TALLULAH FALLS, Ga, July 3.-The
members Of the Georgia State Bar Associa-
ton this morning listened to an address
on "Due process Of law by Chief Justice
Alton B. Parker of the New York state
court of appeals. In conclusion he referred
to the fourteenth amendment as follows:
more and more every year Is due pro-
cess of law invoked by reason of its place
in the fourteenth amendment. to challenge
the action Of state governments, and the
time cannot be predicted when such efforts
will cease.
"It may be safely asserted that the re-
straining power of the fourteenth amend
ment against the states will be exercised
far more conservatively by that court Of
which every citizen is justly proud than it
would be were the exercise Of 1t confined
to the other departments of the national
government
II feel warranted in saying that valuable
beyond compare as has been the service OF
the Supreme Court of the United States to
the people. it never has been charged with
a greater responsibility than that placed
upon 1t by the adoption of the fourteenth
amendments responsibility to the meeting
of which it's individual members have prac-
tically devoted their supreme energies, great
abilities and broad scholarship. keeping
ever in mind-as appears from the many
opinions written-the danger expressed by
Mr. Justice Miller of so far extending the
fourteenth amendment as to fetter and
degrade the state governments

Revival of the Craftsman.

From the Craftsman.
At the present time. arts and crafts So
cieties, guilds and other similar associa-
tions promise a revival of that interest In
the lesser arts which was so strong a fea-
ture Of the middle ages. and which has al
ways played an important part in China
Japan and throughout the east. but which
for some generations has 80 far declined az
to indicate q feeling that in architecture.

reached. Slowly and with uncertainty at
first, but of late with rapidly increasing
speed. the movement has gained impetus.
to the announcement of the artisans In
every trade. and to the satisfaction OF the
nical schools. who are ready to extend their
work. to make their courses more compre-
hensive. IL only students will present them
selves to make use of the new opportuni-
ties. These schools are many OF them al
ready well equipped, and all have. at least.
a good foundation which needs only to Be
built upon to enable them to impart val
liable education in the various branches OK
art craftsmanship.
Doubtless much that is taught is not per-
feet and the standards may not be so ele-
waited as might be desired. but upon the
whole, good is being done, and the health
full influence exerted In certain places In
very marked. II we turn over the sketches
and designs of any fairly gifted pupil OF
some Of these schools. and note the re-
straint and simplicity of the ornament. and
the tendency to use conventionalized natu-
raj forms rather than the realistic treat
ment which has produced such painful re-
suits we shall discover that real progress
Is making.

Study English!
I'M the Springfield Republican.


The inclusion Of foreign languages In
grammar school curriculums can be reason
ably advocated only on the ground that
they are culture studies which are to be
pursued in the higher grades. And then
the question must arise whether. In the
particular city or town under considera-
ton. 1t ts profitable to q sufficient number
of pupils to force such studies upon our
youth at so early an age and whether the
taxpayers money thus expended Is well
spent In city like New York 1t Is mani
fest to every reasonable and unprejudiced
person that the expenditure of money on
foreign languages in grammar grades Ii
money wasted. The child of the average
immigrant does not need to be taught in
school a tongue that he hears at home; he
certainly should not have forced upon him
the alien tongue that is spoken in some
other immigrants home. What he needs in
the short period Of his schooling Is as much
as possible of whatever will ft him for
American breadwinning and American citi-
zenship. The more English and the purer
English he gets the better, because English
happens to be not necessarily q finer or
nobler language than French, German or
italian, but because in this country English
is tho language of our traditions. our ma
tionality, our civilization.

CONSTANTINOPLE. July 3.-The porte
denies the Bulgarian allegations regarding
the concentration of Turkish troops at
strategic points on the frontier near kus-
tendil and Djuma-Bala. 1t is pointed out
that the reports probably were due to the
continuous movements of troops In conse-
ouence of the renewed activity Of the revo-
lutionists in the Turco-Bulgarian frontier
districts.
SOFIA, July "a semi-ofi1cial statement
was issued today as follows:
Contrary to the denials Of the porte,
the concentration continues on the Bull
garian frontier of strong detachments OF
Turkish infantry. cavalry and artillery.
The endeavors Of Turkey to deny these au-
thenticated facts, while simultaneously re-
inforcing the detachments. which cannot
be necessary in fighting revolutionists. tend
to show that Turkey is intentionally con-
cealing the true objects of these military
measures and is misleading Europe by cir
culating false reports regarding Bulgaria
and her Intentions"

The other decision related to the right OF
the republican candidates for municlpaI
officers to go on the official ballot for the

the right on the ground that the certificate

tigation Of the charges Of Irregularities In
connection with the award Of contracts Tor
supplying the army with gloves. In which
1t has been alleged that Representative
Littauer OF New York had pecuniary in

Secretary explained that his whole Idea In
the matter was to ascertain the facts az 10
the regularity or irregularity In tho trans
actions in question. with view to liking
the blame, If any, and to enforcing restitu-
ton II 1t shall be ascertained that the gov

ing to aid the department in every way In
his power in prosecuting the investigator.
and inclosinR CODY OF his testimony IN
regard to his connection with tho army
glove contracts as given In the recent Ju-
dtcial proceedings.
An investigation of the legal aspects OF
the case discloses the fact that even as
suming the fact that the Littauer nrm
sold it's goods knowingly to the government
it is not subject to the charge of violating
the law If it can be shown that 1t did not
enter into an executOry contract. tnat u
did not enter into q contract with the gov
ernment to make and deliver goods In the
future.
II it appears that the firm had its stock
Of gloves on hand and that the government
desired to obtain gloves for immediate use
and therefore wished to purchase them.
special provision in the statute appears, nc-
cording to the present view, to warrant the
transaction. The exception was made as
far back as 1908. in Jenersons administra-
ton. when members Of Congress were. IN
many cases, large planters and produced
grain. cattle and hogs. for which the gov
ernment had urgent need. To exclude their
goods from the government market would
have been to largely enhance the cost OF
such supplies to the government. SO Con-
gress made the exception indicated Even
this distinction, however, is not necessary
In the case Of a corporation, so that repre-
sentatives holding stock in such companies
are not necessarily subject to the operation
of the prOhibitive law.

IL that word can properly be applied TO the

the patriotism which animates every MEM

vocal outbreak at the close Of the daily ses-

From the Spokane Spokesman.
It would probably be impossible to pre-
vent rivalries between college athletes. and
1t is doubtful II 1t would be advisable to do
1t. even II 1t were possible. The only fault
found with college athletics is that too
much attention IL frequently paid to them
to the detriment Of the student whose pri-
mary object In going to college IL to get an
education.
