GEORGIA tech MUST
HAVE MORE LANDS
Has OutgrOWn Present Cam.
puS and Buildings

Atlanta, Dec. 6.-The Georgia School
of Technology has grown and expand
ed, has added buildings, and has in
creased the number of it's students,
until its greatest need today is more
land The present campus is entirely
inadequate for the present, not to say
nothing of further expansion.
The school trustees feel, since the
neighboring property is rapidly en-
hancing in value, that it is necessary
to make immediate purchase as mat
ter of economy. The school has an
option on nearly three acres of adjoin-
ing land, at a cost of only $4,000, and
il is of the utmost Importance to Tech
to secure this land
But the treasury is practically
empty, and President Matheson is ap-
pealing to the friends of the institution
in this emergency He is asking all
friends of Tech who feel so disposed to
send at once a check for $40, or mora
il any one should feel so inclined.

MRS ARMOR INSISTS
THAT THE FEMALE Is MORE
DEADLY THAN THE MALE

Atlanta, Dec. G.-Mrs Mary Harris
Armor, of the Georgia w. T. T., and a
strong supporter of Col. Pope Brown
in the race for governor, says that the
other candidates will learn tomorrow
to their sorrow that the female of the
species is more deadly than the male,
when it comes to protecting the homes
of Georgia from the invasion of liquor.
and from the political ambition OF men
who are compromised on liquor ques-
tions
She criticises the Joe Brown lead
ers sharply, and says that If it were
true that Joe Brown was a prohiDl-
ZIONIST they would have never had any
thing to crticise the W. c. T. U. about
as the pamphlets it has sent ont are
simply in the interest of prohibition
and have not named candidate.

CONSCIENCE OF CROWD
Seems TO Be MISSING
Taft Also Discusses Need Of
National Conference

Washington, d. c., December g.
Discussing the necessity of having
the national conscience brought on q
parity with the individual conscience
President Taft, addressing a gathering
Of the J. o. A. NJ, said:
If one man could commit lynching
We would not have so many, but when
you get 300 or 400 men togther, they
seem to lose the self-restraint of the
individual, his conscience, and all
those principles that keep him straight
in life; the mob develops a different
character from that of the individuals
tina tgo to make it up. Therefore
when We can give our nations the
conscience of the individual, We have
made a progress in Christian civiliza-
ton that cannot be OYerstated; and
like to count over the instances
showing that the conscience of the
nation as a nation of individuals
is approximating that of the man
whom we respect.
1T is only now in this day and gem
GRAFTON that We are agreed as betwenn
the nations that when we have war
on the sea, we will not go back TO an
cient piracy, and do not steal the
property of individuals of the nation
against whom We are urging war.
when We went to war with Spain,
our vessels went out, as did also the
Spanish war vessel, and if they found
a peaceful merchantmen with the flag
of Spain sailing over her, or Spanish
war vessel found peaceful American
merchantmen with an American flag
over her, under an acknowledged law
of the sea, our vessel had the right 70
take that merchantmen and bring her
into a port of the United States to in
woke the action of court of Justice
lust think of that-heaven save the
name-a court of justice, and have
that court say she was a lawful prize,
and that her captors were entitled -
share the proceeds Of the sale that was
made of her and her cargo. Now just
tell me what the difference is between
that and piracy except it is under the
form of law.
Now we have got to the point
where the nations of the earth are will
ling to admit that this is piracy; th1t
as between men it would be nothing
but stealing, and that therefore now
We are prepared to eliminate private
property from those things that an
enemy may tax on sea. 1t has long
been so on land, but apparently We
gave up piracy on the sea with good
deal of compunction. But it is step
forward -
ut is a recognition that there is
righteousness among nations, or ought
to be. and that we must push forward
and see if we can not reach it, that we
must bring the conscience and the rule
of conduct of Christian man to the
nation and show that the nation must
act with her millions as the one man
acts
