THE wise and patriotic statesmen
who dedicated this republic to lib

Senator Bailey, rejected a direct
democracy in which the people would
rule without the intervention of rep

sentative democracy in which the
people should rule through their duly
chosen agents.
The senator quoted from statesmen
who participated in the formation of
the Constitution and the organiza-
ton of the government to show that
they had never intended that the rep
form of government
should give way to direct legislation
by the people, such as the initiative
and referendum would provide.

determined that there shall be no
repetition of these cases.
In handing down his decision in
the Greims case he outlined the pol
icy he will pursue in all future cases.
The custody of Margery Will be
awarded to the father, and the
mother will be allowed to visit 1t
once every so often. Both parents,
however, will have to give bond, the
father that he will allow the mother
to see the child when she appears at
the home, and the mother that she
will not attempt to steal the young
ster and take it out of the jurisdic-
ton of the court. The details, such
as the amount of the bond and the
frequency with which the mother
may visit the child, will be agreed
upon by counsel before next week.
The Greims suit for divorce was
filed on July 6. 1910. and was tried
before Vice. Chancellor Stevens.
He later granted a decree dismiss
ing the husbands bill and the latter,
through his counsel. Cortlandt Par
ker. appealed to the Court of Errors
and Appeals, which tribunal decided,
on June 20, of this year, that the hus-
band was entitled to a divorce, over
ruling Vice-Chancellor Stevens's rul-
ing. 1t was on the wording of this
decree that this present action over
the childs custody was started.
James r. Mulligan represents the
wife.
The decree will be presented for
the courts signature two weeks
hence, the case having been contin-
ued until that date.

This token of esteem, presented
on behalf of the officers and MEM

GEORGIA GOVERNOR
PEEVED AT BLEASE

ATLANTA. Ca, Jan. Ex-Governor
Joseph P. Brown is considerably
wrought up over the recent action OF
Governor Cole Blease, of South Caro-
lima, who has been releasing criml-
nails in wholesale lots on the under
standing that they shall leave the
State. Governor Brown thinks this
course is unfair to surrounding
States, to which the pardoned erimi-
nails are now focking, He says he
hopes to find some way in which to
keep South Cardinals exiled and I'M
desirable citizens out of Georgia.
Il do not know" the governor is
quoted as saying recently, whether
anything can be done, but it is my
opinion that nothing can be done so
long as any of the convicts who may
move to this State conduct them
selves in an honorable and upright
manner and maintain a standard of
good citizenship"
Governor Brown added that Gov
ernor Blease had no moral right to
shift the burden of South Cardinals
criminals onto neighboring States.
"Such action on the part of Governor
Blease," he said, Il think is, to say
the least one of great improperly"
