Manly virtues fall away,
THE BALLrNaER-PmcHor REPORT

Just as I expected, and exactly as l
predicted, the two great political parties
separated on party lines and the stand
patters put a cover on Ballinger and aim
to fight 1t out on that line until this con-
gress goes out by limitation. 1t is a
mournful travesty on justice and sad
commentary on party spirit run wild. 1t
looks exactly like a dearth of honest
Judgment, whenever factional party spirit
butts in, because there never was a more
palpable case Of Partially and party in
tolerance than this defense of Mr.. Bal
lnger after the facts were fully disclosed
before the investigating committee.
Our good-natured president has allowed
those people in the far west, who we're
after something. to control him, even to
the extent of influencing him to sign a
PARTISAN report as his own writing and
opinion, after it was put up and manu-
featured in Mr.. Ballinger's Office.
What becomes of Ballinger is of small
moment, but when 1t became apparent
that Mr.. Taft was willing to sign and put
forward Ballinger's prejudiced report. as
coming from the chief executive, then
matters become very serious indeed.
That discovery had much to do with
the state and congressional elections, and
will initiate against the final record and
history of the present administration.
Why didn't the committee drop the little
man and protect the larger one?

PASADENA GIRLS DRAW
LINE AGAINST JAPS

PASADENA, Cal. Dec. THE leading
society girls of this city decline to mingie
with Japanese naval men of high rank,
even to meeting them on the ball room
floor.
AS a result Japanese-American rela-
tione In southern California are severely
strained.
Upon the arrival of the squadron at
San Pedro a few days ago, the manage
ment of a Pasadena hotel arranged to
give a ball for the commander and his
officers.
The hotel people learned that society
girls would have nothing to do with the
function. 1t was found necessary to call
of the ball on short notice to the admir-
al. In the meantime, he had sent out
engraved invitations for a return dance
on his flagship yesterday
These were not delivered.

CHINESE GIRLS RELATE
AWFUL STORY OF SLAVERY
Seven Kidnapped and Brought
Over to Be Sold as
Slaves

Associated
!, SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7.--Seven chi
nese girls captured on Sunday when an
attempt was being made to smuggle them
ashore from the steamer Manchuria, toio
a story, yesterday, that, for brutaity'
comedies nothing to the workings o.. the
earlier African slave trade. Immigration
officials say there is no doubt the girls
were brought here to be sold In the slaVe
trade Their ages range from Ia 70 IL
years. All but one of them declare tnat
they were kidnapped in Hong Kong rms
one had previously been IN Anneiic@ anu
had been deported.
The narrative was obtained from the
girls by Chief Assistant Immigration
Commissioner Harry Edsell who spoke 10
them in their own tongue.
They said they had made the journey
from China in locker IA feet square. De-
low deck-a place without ventlIation'
Not a ray of light, natural or artificial,
did they see on the whole voyage Ihe
eight Chinese men who were captured at
the same time as the girls, were with
them in the room, but no one else visited
them until they reached port. Their only
food and drink was some dried fruit and
cold tea, of which a supply had been
left for them before the departure OF
the boat.
One of the girls, the youngest Of the
party, says she had come from her coun-
try home on a visit to Hong Kong. A
smooth tongued- countryman told her
great pageant was being held on the big
American steamer and said he thought
he might be able to gain admission for
her. She fell into the trap. Another
says she was drugged by her kidnapers.
Edsell says a thorough investigation is
to be made of the operations of the SNUG
Cling ring that is supposed to be at work,
and that every effort will be made to dis
cover whether any government officials
are involved.

EXTEND THE STATE Road TO THE

SEA
II there is anybody In Georgia, es-
pecially anyone who has no axe to grind
who is more zealously anxious to see
the state Of Georgia reap the lawful
benefit from its most valuable property
than myself. 1 would like to hear from
such an one and get additional infor-
nation or instruction. e..
There was time in my life when ]
carefully Investigated every publication
bearing on the subject of the Western
and Atlantic railroad that fell In my
way. I have in my possession at this
time some very valuable documents that
give reliable information as to the rail-
roads value when II went into the hands
of the first lessees, nearly 40 years ago.
/ have the name of every engine that be-
longed to the state when Governor
Browns company took possession at the
time, and have been intending for some
years to prepare for publication the re-
suit of my investigation as a contribu-
ton to the history of Georgia, because
we need facts and only facts In deal
Ing with such matters OF state his
tory.
Before the western and Atlantic road
was ever leased. Gov. Joseph e. Brown
gave valuable testimony as to it's value
before a long investigating committee
from the house and senate, and his es-
innate of the exceeding value of this
road to our great old commonwealth
fully conceded with my own conclu-
sions long years afterwards. With pro-
phetic vision he said. under oath. that
il was the most valuable property own
ed by the state. or that the state could
ever own and that the people would hurl
from power any legislature which traf-
licked away this valuable property.
Therefore the agitation concerning the
extension OF the states railroad to the
Atlantic ocean, or to the waters OF the
Gulf of Mexico appears to me to be
very timely.
We have the land to build upon going
southwark from Atlanta, because we can
always get the land, and we have the
convicts to construct the road. when we
are ready TO do so. There never will
come a more propiuous time to extend

the line to a water outlet than now, and
II seems to me to be a Providential
opening, when we take into consideration
the necessity for curbing the greed Of
other railroads in the interest of the tax
payers of Georgia. tr
From the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans
and from the great lakes to the gulf of
Mexico. the plain people of this repub-
lie are doing their best to recover to
themselves the power and authority that
have been unwisely turned over to great
railroad syndicates. II is a serious prob
lem because the railroads are willing to
pour out millions to retain in their own
hands this power and authority and 1t is
a MISUNDERSTOOD fact that these roads
go with the dominant political party and
throw their gold and influence towards
the election Of men who are known to
be inimical to a reversal of this power
and authority. These railroads buy up or
freeze out all smaller or connecting rail-
roads and as 1 look over the situation
it would be the height of fully to longer
allow great railroad syndicates to rule
this country or to allow them to gobble
up this great and vital link which now
belongs to the state Of Georgia
Any student of current events can see
for himself that these railroads would
be masters Of the situation II they could
brush aside the authority of the state OF
Georgia, from Chattanooga to Atlanta
and we are gravely told that the Nash
Vile and Chattanooga railroad which is a
sub-tenant of the Louisville and Nash
willie land which latter road is a compo-
nent part of the Atlantic Coast Line).
is now swapping its fingers at the au-
thority OF the state of Georgia in the
matter of rates to shippers.
They have reached the same conclu-
sion that Walter SCOTS Roy-Roy enun-
ciated,
They may take who have the power,
They may keep who can"
And the key to the situation is the
control and ownership of the Western
and Atlantic railroad. II the state of
Georgia can extend it's railroad property
to Brunswick. Darien or Savannah and
there touch water shipping. the Panama
canal will do more for Georgia's prog
ress than any other state in this union,
because there will be in Georgia suff1-
cient authority and sufficient opportunity
to curb the egregious power of certain
railroads 1t may become necessary to
count noses and investigate legislators
but the man who will give his allegiance
to railroad assumacy and betray his own
people ought to be exposed.
