CONGRESS WILL NOT
ACT ON EXPOSITION

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-San Francis
CO and New Orleans, which have been
engaged in a spirited contest before con-
gress for the honor of holding the inter-
national celebration of the opening of
the Panama canal In 1915, are doomed
Ia disappointment as far as legislation
at this session Is concerned. At least that
is the almost unanimous opinion of those
who have knowledge OF the subject.
The southern membership of the foreign
affairs committee. particularly Represen-
tatIve Garner. of Texas, are opposed to
the passage In the house of the resolu-
ton reported fnvorably in that commit
tee Thursday inviting foreign countries
to participate in such an exposition
whenever cities competing for the honor
have raised $7,500,000 for fair.
Mr.. Garner is a supporter of New Or
leans and wants the matter to go over
until next session. Mr.. Garner announces
that he will refuse unanimous consent
for the consideration of the resolution in
the house and also will be able to defeat
any attempt to bring it up by two
thirds vote, required under the rules.
The only other way the matter can be
considered is by a special rule which
is quite improbable, and even II this
were done Mr.. Garner says the senate
would not act upon the resolution.

over from Oyster Bay to Mineola to wit
ness one of his aerial rides.
Should Colonel Roosevelt accept Ham,
ilton's invitation, the aviator will ask
the colonel to ride back to Sycamore
Hill as his passenger. Hamilton says

EDUCATION TO SETTLE
THE RACE QUESTION

WASHINGTON. June 1.-That the race
white and black in the south was the
declaration of President Taft in speech
Thursday afternoon to the board Of
managers of Marion institute of Marion,
Ala, at the Raleigh hotel.
The president last year accepted mem
bership on the board of directors of the
institute at the instance of III. o. Muir
fee, superintendent of the school. 1t is
the plan Of those interested in the scho 81
to establish in the heart of the south an
American Elton, where white boys may
receive preliminary education prepare
tory to a higher education.
The president said in part:
WILL SETTLE ITSELF.
set have not a bit of doubt that with
the increase of the white education and
the increase of the negro education the
race question will settle itself.
I'm going into a southern community
one meets a body of ladies and gentle
men who are as educated, as refined and
as cultivated as can be found in the
world, but after that one comes to know
that in the country and in the back town
whites without adequate educational IA
cilities.
THE ignorant whites have a Feeling
above the negro, and do not seem to
yearn as he does for education. For the
negro education is fetisch and he thinks
that If he can only learn from books,
fortune and exalted station await him.
SITUATION FULL OF HOPE.
Now why ought we to be optimists
in respect to the south? We have
reached a time when the south Is going
ahead, progressing in material way;
when she is getting rich; when she feels
responsible for the education of her peo-
pie, and when she has the money to edu-
cate them. 1 do not think that her edu-
cation up to this time has been as thor
ought mean her public education-as it
ought to be, and I believe there is great
room for improvement in that regard in
increasing the months of education for
primary schools in the country, both ne
gro and white. / am an optimist with
respect to education In the south, and
think the education of each race in
the south acts and reacts on that Of
the other"

FINISHED PUBLIC SCHOOLS
IN FOUR SHORT MONTHS
Joseph YampoISky Went
Through Grammar Schools
of Atlanta in Four Months.
Will Soon Enter University
of Georgia

Like a story told in a book OF fairy
tales reads the accomplishments of Jo-
seph Yampolsky. who I'm August, 1906 first
sighted the shores OF America as he came
10 the land OF the free and the home OF
the brave from Russia, the country Of
the oppressed.
Young Yampolsky did not know a word
OF English and was as ignorant of the
people and their customs as he was of
the language. but he had the genius and
the vim to overcome such obstacles, and
~ was not long before he knew more
English than many boys his age who
had ben born in this country.
After he had learned sufficient Eng
lish to enable him to enter the public
schools he became a pupil in one of
them. entering the fourth grade, but two
months were enough for him there, and
he was promoted at the end OF that time
10 the fifth. Here his stay was the short
est possible time. One day was sufficient
there and he was then passed on to the
seventh. Literally by leaps and bounds
he had gone through the Atlanta gram
mar schools.
Next he appeared at the Boys High
school. having in four months gone
through a course that successful edu-
Gators have fixed term of eight years
for. This boy just from a land where he
and his ancestors had been oppressed
and denied the right almost to live. had
put to flight all former records for learn
ing and had passed boys of his own age
who had every advantage by birth and
opportunity.
Yampolsky finished in the Boys High
school this term and then he is going TO
the University OF Georgia. He will en-
ter that institution in September. In
two months he expects to complete the
fir MIL ha
more class In November.
And despite all OF this. Yampolsky is
modest, popular and healthy. Recently
he won a debate in the Boys High
school, on socialism. and his ability to
speak on any subject is well known and
respected by those who have been cast
in arguments opposite to him.

NEW COTTON TAKES

prolific stalks until last year he sent a sample
Of the seed to the State college Of agriculture,
at Athens and also to the agricultural school

TRUSTS ARE DISCUSSED
BY PERRY At COLUMBUS
Candidate for Governor Pre-
Sents Views on Problems of
Political Situation
Especial Dispatch to The Journal)


| COLUMBUS, Ca, June 8.-Quite a
large audience OF citizens of Columbus
and voters of Muscogee heard Hon. H.
H. Perry deliver his first address In
this section, at the county courthouse
last night and they were much Impress
ed with the arguments presented as TO
why he should be elected the next gov
ernor of Georgia.
Judge A. W. Cozart, prominent law
year and leading citizen, introduced the
/ speaker in a complimentary manner,
taking advantage of the opportunity to
criticise the present administration.
Mr.. Perry spoke for about an hour.
and his remarks were received with en-
thusiasm. He said in part:
SPEECH OF PERRY.
THE Macon Telegraph complains that
in discussing the trusts, l am dealing
with national and not state issues. The
editor is a gentleman and therefore has
a conscience. He is evidently seeking to
allay that and trying to condone for
hugging the trusts to his bosom in Geor-
gia by damning their operations in
Iowa TINS is not the only paper in
Georgia playing that game.
But the trusts are a local issue be-
cause we must have state laws to check
their unholy devices for throttling COM
petition and building up monopolies.
is to be a huwer of wood and a drawer
of water for the trusts. We have a
great country, and with the blessing of
providence we produce from our farms,
our factories, our mills from 20 to 80
billions in value each year which is
added to the wealth of the nations,
enough to make, all comfortable and free
every man, woman and child from want.
But where does it all go? Is 1t equit-
ably distributed?
mo, 1t goes to increase the already
swollen fortunes of a few millionaires
and fill the Golfers of gigantic corpora
tions.
THE yoke is upon the people. We
pay to make dividends and interest on
watered stocks and securities over a
thousand million year for which we
get no value received. We pay a thou
sand million a year to support the fed
eral government which the common
man pays every time he buys an article
Of merchandise and the great properties
escape their share of this burden,
I'VE pay in increased and excessive
prices a thousand million a year to the
monopolies and trusts. These are con-
sentative estimates, but enough to show
the burden we have to bear-not to
speak of others. This money Is divided
out by someone
1T has been impossible to correct these
methods of taking their earnings from
the people because the great interests
which profit by them have woven such a
network OF influence around our federal
and state government that they have
been able to enact laws to suit them
and obstruct such as would check them
