struggling territories that not one of
the small opposition dared to rise ara
ask for a roll call when the senate res
olution admitting New Mexico and
Arizona came up for a vote. The
sense of Justice and fair play triumph
ed over the strong desire of the house
to override the presidents veto, the
strength of the resentment against the
action Of Mr.. Taft being plainly evi-
dent through the debate.
The sentiment was tested when
Raker III California offered an amend
ment restoring the resolution to the
form in which it was vetoed by the
president. rising vote was asked
fer an Rnkcr Sims OF Tennessee, and
one other voted for the amendment,
while every other member present
voted against it. This was the thing
that decided the fate or the resolu-
tion and everyone knew, after this
test that the roll would not even be
called on the final vote. Tho senate
had adjourned so that the vice presi-
dent cannot sign the resolution until
noon Monday, but it Is certain that all

Fair Hands in Sharp Battle

Friday was a great day for the Gem

Not because the brave spirits Of the
Ladies' Civic Improvement League
made light brigade charge upon the
legions of dirt and debris in our
streets and back yards; not that the
fairest and daintiest feminine hands in
town welded brooms and rakes, white
haired mothers drove all day, direct
ing wagons to neglected corners, and
committees on all the principal streets
aided the workers to make thorough
raid.
But, because 50 many men, from the
Mayor down to the convicts on the
county roads, enlisted under Mrs.
Crosby's banner and helped with the
heartiest good will to bring Marietta
into the "Spotless Town" class.
First, Mayor Clay gave the city's
sanitary department entirely to the
Civic League for the day. The pro
prietors Of the three livery stables
each sent wagon and driver Four
wagons were hired by the League, and
the housekeepers all over town had

beside the gates. One fair worker

1t is the purpose Of those who have
this movement under consideration
and are actively interested, to have a
committee Of at least a hundred from
the county as a whole, and for this
com mlttee to meet in the Court House
In Marietta on the first Tuesday in
March Of this year to organize by elect
ing officers with authority to contract
for the monument.
OF the amount already guaranteed,
no individual subscriptions have so
far been asked, and it is firmly be-
lieved that the additional amount
necessary can easily be raised by
subscriptions from Cobb county citi-
zens, and if possible, the committee
wishes to erect the monument out OF
funds from Cobb county citizens
entirely, this being Senator CLAWS
home county, and his friends and
admirers being numbered by its entire
citizens.
The monument is to be built OF
granite or marble with a life size like
ness in bronze placed thereon, and
situated in the City Park in front Of
the Court House. The committee
representing each and every district
in the county will be announced in
the next issue Of the Journal and
Courier.
1t is said that several Of the towns
located in Cobb county, through their
official representatives, will make
substantial subscriptions. OF the
amount already raised, the City Of
Marietta has given $500 and like
amount has been given by Cobb
county.

COMMITTEE NAMED
FOR CLAY MONUMENT
Steps Taken at Chamber of
Commerce Meeting to
Erect Memorial

AT the meeting Of the Chamber of
Commerce held on last Friday night,
the question OF erecting a monument
to the memory OF the late Senator A,
s. Clay was taken up on motion OF
Captain Fred Morris, who stated in
substance that the work OF erecting a
monument with life size likeness in
bronze OF Senator Clay had been under
way since few days after Senator
Clay's death; that few friends had
been actively working on the move
ment and had succeeded in obtaining
a guarantee Of $4,000, which is believed
to be half of the amount that will be
necessary to complete the monument.
Captain Morris reported that he had
written letters to five or six prominent
men in each district in the county
asking them to suggest the names of
several men from their respective dis
trlcts who would be willing to have
their names used as a committee from
that district, and that favorable replies
had been received from large num-
Der OF those to whom letters had been
written.
A motion was made that committee
be appointed by the Chamber OF Com
merce consisting Of twenty-five or
thirty names to represent Marietta
district, and to act in conjunction with
the parties from all the other dis
tricts in the county, and the following
were named as the committee from
