DIRECT ELECTION
AMENDMENT IS
REJECTED
Georgia Legislature to Send
Measure Back to Congress
as Illegally Passed.

The legislative committee to which
was referred the proposed constitution
al amendment providing for election of
United States senator's by the people
sent in a lengthy report to the house
today.
The committee advises the return of
The amendment to congress, with the
objection that 1t was not legally passed
by that body, and that, therefore, it
would be dangerous and unwise for the
legislature either to agree to or dissent
from it in its present form.
The famous "Bristow clause" is not
referred to nor does the committee
address itself to the merits of the
amendment. 1t merely sets forth that
Georgia, In the main, is favorable to the
election Of senators by the people, but
that Georgia should not. through its
legislature, agree to an amendment IL
legally inaugurated.
The point raised by the committee
against the amendment is that it was
not passed, as matter OF fact, by two
thirds of the national congress, each
house voting separately. The commit
tee holds that two thirds" means, in
this case, at least two-thirds of the
elected membership" OF congressman
merely two-thirds of "a quorum vot-
ing"
Advises No Action Be Taken.
1t is not denied that the amendment
failed Of two-thirds vote in the ma
tional house, If two-thirds be held to
mean two -thirds Of the elected mem
bershlp. 1t did receive two-thirds
however, If two-thirds be held to mean
merely two thirds of a quorum voting
In congress, two thirds has been held
to mean generally two-thirds of a quo
rum voting, and hence the constitution
al amendment was held to have been
legally passed by congress.
1t is to that view, nevertheless that
the Georgia committee specifically OBJ
jects, and upon which 1t advises the
return of the amendment to congress
without action.

THE XII EXAMPLE
DOES THE HARM.

Mrs. Vanderbilt, like Hans Brett.
mann, had a party. and as it was an
unusually eXtravagant one. Mrs.
Vanderbilt is coming in for the usual
amount of criticism from the yellow
and socialistic press
IL is said that the one evenings
entertainment cost the sum OF twen-
ty-tive thousand dollars. and the ul-
ira critics point out how many poor
children that would feed and clOthe,
how many schools that would open.
how many dinner pals that would
fill, and all that sort of thing.
The tOuble is about the spending
OF that or any other immense sum
for mere show and pleasure, is that
il 1t were not spent in that way It
would not be spent in supplying the
needy with clothing, with shelter
and with food. 1t would stay locked
up in the strong boxes of the rich.
where it would do no one any good.
In spending twenty-five thousand
dollars, the rich woman was frOced
to employ caterers. decorators, mu-
sicias, and the like, and these in
turn were compelled to hire many
assistants in preparing the house for
the entertainment. in presenting
suitable service. in furnishing food
and drink and the various amuse-
mrnts that 20 to make up the sue
