BY JESSIE M. partition

Atlanta, Ga, has the largest num-
her of arrests in proportion to popu-
lation of any large city in America.
Not Atlanta alone, but all of
Georgia and the majority of the
Southern states, spend time and
energy and money, not to train
good citizens and to prevent crime,
but in debasing and lowering the
standard of citizenship.
Capital punishment has not been
abolished in Georgia. If fear of the
gallows could deter from crime
there would not now be 1910 per-
sons in chains in that state for ac-
tual or attempted murder.
Human life is held cheap in the
convict leasing states. This lesson,
enforced with bullet and blood
hound in the changing, is quickly
assimilated by the ignorant negro
and the equally uneducated white.
1t is the only kind of education
Georgia makes compulsory. Chill

DEFENDS
HIS RECORD

Congressman Jones has replied
at length to an interview by Or
ganizer Young, of the Washington
State Federation of Labor, in which
Young opposes Jones and advises
laboring men to support Ankeny in
the coming senatorial contest.
Young classed Jones as an enemy
of labor and stated that Gompers
was working through the American
Federation of Labor to re-elect
Ankeny.
Jones cites numerous occasions
when he has supported labor meas
ures, namely the eight hour law,
and also shows that his congress
sional record in the house has been
practically the same as Ankeny's
in the senate on labor issues, so
far as Ankeny has any record. He
defends his course in voting for the
bill eXempting the Panama canal
work from the eight hour provi-
sions, showing that the exemption
applies only to alien labor and that
Americans are required to work but
eight hours on the canal.
Jones takes Young to task for
assuming as a democrat to dictate
the choice of republican electors at
the polls. He says his record in
congress is an open book and as
sumes that both Gompers and
Young have failed to read the rec
ord thoroughly or are the victims
of misinformation.

LUCKY BALDWZN'.S LIFE DREAM
REALIZED IN SANTA ANITA TRACK
Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2S.-Santa
Anita race track is the sensation of
the Pacific coast. Since opened to
the public its success has been as
sured, and already enough worlds
records have been threatened by
the fleet thoroughbredS to give the
new track place among the fore
most racing plants in the world.
Sitting every afternoon in the
judges stand, a little gray-haired
man watches the races with inter-
est, and whenever a record goes up
no one is more enthusiastic.
This man, whose face is scanned
with the prints of time, is f. J.
(Lucky) Baldwin, man whose
name is synonymous of the golden
West. In Santa Anita he sees the
realization of his fondest hopes
the ownership of a model racing es-
tablishment-and is happy.
The track is located upon the
enormous realty holdings which
make Baldwin one of the greatest
land owners in the United States.
When the subject was preached to
him, Lucky agreed. He had the
land, and Barney Schneider, Geo,
Rose and others had the money. All
had the same idea. Within 10
weeks after the first shovel of earth
was turned the bangtails were run
ming at Santa Anita.
Lucky Baldwin is one of the
Vests most picturesque characters
He is of the old regime, one of the
few left of the days when men shot
first and asked questions after
| wards, rode far and fought hard.
He keeps many derelicts of other
days on his famous ranches. His
place is known as Arcadia, and 1t

The immigration problem is load

Defeat CARD SYSTEM

GOLDFIELD, Jan. 2S.-The
miners union has won in its fight
against the card system inaugu-
rated by the owners. The latter
have withdrawn the requirement
that miners renounce allegiance in
writing to the Western Federation
of Miners before they were given
employment. With this concession
it is likely that work in the mines
will be resumed shortly.
