FOSIOMSTS LOCKED IN.
Regulars. BY shrewd Move. Pass
Bill Over Veto.

Nashville, Tenn, June 2l.-By one
Of the shrewdest and best laid plans Of
political procedure ever seen ia the
Tennessee Legislature, the Democrats
OF the House this morning passed the
election law over the Governors veto,
the vote being So for, IS against, the
remainder announced by Speaker STAN
ION as not voting. There we're about 90
members on the floor; in fact, % had
just voted for the new funding bill on
final reading. The Governor to-day af-
fixed his signature to the funding bill.
During the passage Of the bill no Re-
publican or Independent was allowed to
leave the hall As soon as the result
was announced the extra deputy SER
geants-at-arms, who had been named
BY Speaker Stanton, were relieved Of
duty and at once the entire body Of
fusionists left the House, but immedi-
alety retufneu.
The regulars proceeded with their
business, preparing a certification 10 theI
Secretary Of State that the bill had
passed over the Governors veto.
This bill came up just after the pass
age on final reading by unanimous
vote Of the refunding bill.
During the passage OF the refunding
bill Speaker Stanton, on the plea that
he wished to have order, appointed
thirteen men OF known reputation for
the work they were expected to do as
assistant sergeants-at-arms. Imme6i
ateIy after the passage Of the refunding
bill Mr.. Cox presented the election bill.
It was not unexpected. The move had
been looked for hourly since the fusion
lists came back. and at this time the
atmosphere was tense, due 10 the fact
that just preceding the passage Of the
refunding bill impassioned speeches had
been made relative to the Governor and
the fusionists. Mr.. Cox presented the
matter Of the election bill in writing.

FUsIoNIsTs INUNDATED.
When the intent OF the regulars was
made manifest fusionists became pale
with anger and humiliation, and for a
time things looked threatening, but,
believing that they were under armed
guard and that desperate men had made
all preparations for desperate measures,
they sat quiet in their seats.
The Senate had a rather stormy day,
passing the funding bill and several bills
over Gov. Hooper's veto. One Of these
was the miscellaneous appropriation
bill. The general appropriation bill,
however, failed OF passage over the veto
because OF the absence Of Senator
Draughon, who, it is said, was indis-
posed. Draughon was present and voted
on the miscellaneous appropriation, but
then left the chamber Senator Max
we'll announced early in the day he
would not vote to override the vetoes OF
the Governor, but when the miscel-
Ianeous appropriation bill came up on
the Governors veto, he voted to over
ride the executive. This, be did, it is
said, because the bill contained a pro-
vision Of $500 for him as chairman OF
she committee on enrolled bills.
The expected happened Immediately |

legislation. The guards on duty, the
ioors barred, Mr.. Cox moved the pas

,rnor's veto. The roll was ordered,

Editor The Georgian:
The recent case Of naturaIiza-
ton in which Judge Henry A. NJ.
Smith, of South Carolina, was
interested, induces me to write
the following Judge Smith con-
tends that Syrians are not en-
titled to citizenship in the United
States He has the right to give
or refuse naturalization to the
Syrian of his State, but the rea-
sons given by him are not based
on facts. and history does not
support his position.
When we consider the part the
Syrians have played in the his
tory and development Of the
world, we readily see they are IN
no way connected with or related
to the Sudanese. Three Of the
greatest monarchies Of the an
cient world-Chaldea. Assayria
and Babylonia-were evolved and
developed by the Syrian nation.
The inhabitants Of Kurdistan,
who are regarded az the descend
ants Of the syrians, not only
speak a Semitic language, but be-
ieve themselves to be the same

traditions are held Of Syrians,
who in their brief historical frag-
ments recognize as their kins-
men the later BabylOnians. Phoe-
nicians and the Joktonian Arabs.

the severe theologies. Through

through Macrina we have Basil
and Gregory, who led them both
to the faith and stirred them to
their best work"
This list is a long one-through
Jacqueline, Paschal, through
Paula, Jerome, through Susanna
Wesley, the Methodist Church.
etc But these consoling exam
pies only make the wonder deep
er that Christianity should have
esteemed its most reliable expo
nent unworthy Of absolute equal
ity.
1t scarcely meets the case to
prove by illustrious examples
that women are indispensable fac
tors in religion. So have been
the martyrs and the prosecuted
Of all ages through what difficult
ties we know.
For the past century the wo-
man movement in religion has
been breaking through the bar
riers. In the Protestant com
munions the battle has gone on
steadily and successfully. and so
quietly as scarcely to be a bat
tie. Yet in every one Of the
great denominations the right of
woman to recognition as an equal
cO-laborer with man in the King
dom Of God has been challenged
and opposed at every step. Mrs.
Doremus for thirty years kept up
the fight before the women were
permitted to organize the first
Woman's Missionary Society.
Among Southern Baptists %
years ago a similar proposition
was silently protested by the ma
jority and outspokenly resisted
by thousands Among Southern
Methodists a petition has been
pending for years to give the
women not equal, but more gen
erous representation in the di-
rection of the missionary funds
contributed by themselves.
for Her Soul.
Speaking by the card, I have
made efforts in country churches
to organize women's societies,
for doing the sort Of work every
Christian is commanded to do,
only to discover insuperable pref
udices in the minds Of the breth-
rem.
At the bottom Of this discred-
liable history Of female repres-
sion in religion lies the jealousy
of the masculine prerogative. The
principle Of, pernicious proxy, the
right Of the husband to discharge
religious obligations for the wife
is persistent to this hour in the
practice Of the churches.
It amounts in effect to a lay
mans priest craft, in which the
man assumes to stand between
the woman's soul and the free
and full discharge Of its respon-
sibility in practical duty.
Now the clouds are breaking
away and man is beginning to
relent. 1t will be a good day for
religion when the competency Of
every woman under God for all
the freedom an individual soul is
decreed for, without reference to
sex, is heartily and universally
proclaimed and enforced.
