STAND FIRM.

1t will be necessary for the excise board to
keep firmly fixed in it's mind its determination
to reform conditions in Perth Amboy, if any
thing along that line is to be accomplished.
Already the liquor dealers are at work plead
ing their cause, advancing arguments why
they should not be interfered with. The old
promises of reforming themselves are again
heard, and the plea that they give largely to
charity is also advanced as a reason why their
license fee should not be raised.
But the people are pretty thoroughly fam
liar with the way in which saloons conduct
their own reforms. 1t has been tried out be-
fore and it has failed to work. AS for the
liquor dealers contributions to charitable
causes, it is altogether fitting that they should
do this because there is no one agency in the
city that does more to make charity necessary
than the saloons themselves. 1t is safe to say
the poor department Of the city can show that
n~ine-tenths of the misery, and eases of destitu-
ton are brought about through the use of
liquor. Why then should not the saloons, that
bring about this distress, contribute to the re-
lief Of the victims?
As far as contributing toward the public
celebrations, such as the Fourth of July, is
concerned, the saloons take in over the bar on
such occasions far more than they contribute,
so that by helping to make q holiday that
brings crowds into the city they are only ad-
vancing their own interests. 1t is a well
known fact, however, that although the saloon
derived the greatest financial benefit from the
fIemen's parade held here last year, the liquor
dealers, with but two or three exceptions were
the smallest contributors to the fund that was
raised to defray the expense of the affair.
We thoroughly agree with the excise com
missioner who favors the increase of the
license to 5000 for saloons and $3.50 for hotels
at once. While the arguments advanced by
the liquor dealers that they are reputable bust
ness men just as those in any other line OF
business, may be true in some instances, the
fact remains that the great majority of the
saloons Of this city are merely retail stations
for the breweries of neighboring cities. Where
a mar OWNS his own place and is free to trade
in any make of beer and liquors that he sees
fit, regardless Of brewery domination, he can
truly claim to be a Legitimate business man.
But where his placed is equipped and owned,
to all intents and purposes, by a brewery, and
where only the beer furnished by that brewery
can be sold, he is not a business man, but mere
ly a retail agent, a bartender, so to speak, who
is liable to lose his job and have another man
succeed him, according to the whims of the
brewer that has equipped his place, and the
willingness of the excise board to grant the
necessary transfer.
1t is for the purpose of placing the liquor
business in the hands Of legitimate business
men that we are urging these reforms. We
insist that the excise board give the city of
Perth Amboy what the people have a right to

Washington, D. c., April 24-Begin-
ming the debate in the house yesterday
on the democratic tariff revision bill,
Representative Underwood, of Ala
bama, the majority leader, predicted
great relief for the nation through
the passage of the pending bill; Rep
resentative Augustus p Gardner, of
Massachusetts, voiced republican skep-
ticism for the country's future under
such tariff system as that proposed,
and Representative Kelly, of Pennsyi-
vania expressed the opinion of the
new progressive party to all tariff
bills framed under the present sys-
TEN.
Mr.. Underwood, in outlining the bill,
severely criticised the protective tariff
theory based on the cost of produc-
ton differences at home and abroad,
and praised the competitive tariff theo-
ny. declaring it would strengthen the
American industries and American pro-
ducts into the worlds markets.
DenOunce Protective Tariff.
He denounced the raising of taxes
by the protective tariff as unjust, be-
cause he said it taxed equally the
working man and the multi-millionaire.

SELECTION OF De LOACH
MEETS WITH APPROVAL
Both Price and WOrSham are
Satisfied

Atlanta, April 24.-"I am perfectly
satisfied with the action of the trustees
of the experiment station" said State
Bntomologist Lee Worsham yester-
day.
Il am very willing to do the work
of the station on the fee system, and,
if am given the work ordinarily done
there, my compensation will amount
TO more than under the fixed sum paid
me before. | am sure everything will
be all right now and that affairs at
the station will move along satisfac,
torily."
j. D. Price, commissioner of agrl-
culture after July /, and member of
the board, spent today here en- route
home. He expressed qualification over
conditions at the experiment station,
and said he believed the right man had
been picked to direct the work.
"DeLoach is a Georgian, born and
reared in Bulloch county, is a scientist
of training and attainments, has ini-
tiative and vim will bring the sta
ton up to a high standard of eff
cheney" said Mr.. Price.
Farmers. are fairly humping along
now" he continued. Il have so much
to do on my place / hardly have time
for meals. With favorable conditions
and hard work the farmers can and
will overcome the setback given them
| by the poor crops Of last year.
81 want to see very farmer in Geor-
gia raise plenty of foodstuff and thal

independent than anything else. l see
that it is done on my own place, for
I would not preach what do not prac-
tice"

CROP OUTLOOK is NOT
UNUSUALLY PROMISING
According to Report From
Mr.. Morgan

81 have travelled this week through
a considerable portion of Houston,
Dooly and Sumter counties, and the
crop prospect as | have seen it, is far
from promising" said Mr.. Lacey Nor
gan yesterday. He had just complet-
ed an extended buggy trip in the three
counties, and had carefully noted crop
conditions.
Many farmers, Mr.. Morgan stated,
were still planting cotton the first time
while others were re-planting portions
of the crop killed by recent unseas-
enable weather. One large farmer in
Houston, who operates seventy plows.
had planted no cotton at all.
All crops seen by Mr.. Morgan evil
denced need of rain very much, espe-
cially young cotton just out of the
ground. and the corn crop as well. Mr..
Morgan stated that the oat fields he
had seen were generally failure this
season, the crop having been damaged
by rust.
Farming onerations generally are
very much retarded as compared with
conditions at this date last April, M.
Morgan said Not few farmers are.
far behind with their work, and some
are still planting cotton in advance OF
the corn crop, rather unusual pro-
ccdure here.

UNDERWOOD. SEES RELIEF
IN THE TARIFF MEASURE

Underwood, like every other tariff bill
in the history of the country, was
framed on a basis of insufficient in
formation and political and non-parti-
san log-rolling"
The solution of the tariff problem, he
declared, could only be found in the
adoption of the progressive policy OF
placing the tariff in the hands of cap
able non-partisan commission.
How Time is Divided.
When the house convened Mr.. I'm
derwood asked unanimous consent that
the general devate close when the
house adjourned Monday evening.
The republican leaders and Repre-,
sentative Mur@ocl- the progressive
leader, argued for some time over a
division of the minority time between
republicans and the progressives. 1t
was finally agreed to give the pro-
gressives five hours of the minority
time. Altogether about so hours of
general discussion in the house vii
be allowed.
Other parliamentary mix-ups delayed
things and it was some time before Mr..
Underwood began his speech.

CHANCELLOR LLOYD GEORGE
WARS ON AMERICAN COTTON
Wants to Develop Cotton
Growing Along Nile

London, April 24.-Protection for the
cotton trade of Lancashire by fostering
the supply of cotton, independent of
America, was the gist of Chancellor
LloydGeorge's argument in introduce
ing in the house of commons this ev-
ening a resolution permitting the Brit
ish government to guarantee Sudan
loan of $15,0O0,0OO for the develop
ment of cotton growing along the Nile.
The chancellor of the exchequer re-
marked that occasional difficulties with
regard to supplies of American cotton,
arising from the market being corner
ed, and thus causing a shortage here
despite abundant crops. made it nee
essary to foster the growth of cotton
where it would be under British com.
troll. rs
Egyptian cotton, he claimed, was bet
ter from the point of view of the man
ufacturer and the quality of the goods
obtained from that product and also
better from the point of view of the
workman because it was cleaner and
healthier to work than American cot
ton. -
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-04-25

He pointed out that the rates in the
pending bill were substantial reduc-
tons from the rates in the existing
law and declared that the lower rates
would result in reduction in the cost
of living to the consuming public.
Mr.. Underwood did not discuss the
income feature, leaving that to Repre-
sentative Hull, of Tennessee, who will
speak later. Representative Gardner
admitted that the people of the ma
ton had rpudiated the Payne tariff and
that the republican party had been dis
lodged from power because it had been
TOO slow to recognize growing evils,
and permitted a far too powerful Oil
earthly" to run the government it's way
instead of the peoples way. He eau
toned the democrats to live up to their
promises to the people, declaring that
h. believed that if they did not the peo-
pie would turn to the new progressive
party.

Seeking New IDEAS.

Suppose that the democrats fail .
carry out their radical program" said
Mr.. Gardner, will the country turn TO
our party? l doubt it. The people
wish to try some of these new ideas
and are willing to risk the conse-
quences of their proving disastrous,
The republicans have not given them
what they wish. If the democrats FOL-
lew our example it need surprise no
one should the people turn to the new
progressive party. In fact this is the
only direction in which can see fu-
ture for that party"
In presenting the views of the pro-
gressive party, Representative Kelly

and the beginning of new one" h,
began, while the democrats applauded
Mr. Underwood discussed the origin O.
the present high tariff system" de-
claring that it was instituted as at
emergency measure during the civ
war.
"War Taxes" Says Underwood.
These unjust war taxes" he said
"have maintained ever since, and those
who had amassed fortunes under il
have controlled the government, eX-
cept for one brief interval"
In his discussion he followed closely
the democratic majority of the ways
the arguments outlined in the report OF
and means committee.
Our great responsibility" declared
Mr.. Underwood, lis the interest and
rights of the great mass of consume IS
among the American people. From
our view point industry must be con
sidered as secondary to the rights Of
the consumer"
Referring to the increase in the cost
Of living, Mr., Underwood said:
"A great proportion of this increase
was caused by the abnormally high
protection given to the great manu-
featuring interests of the country uu,

Mr. Underwood said, however, that
the passage of the democratic bill
would not Immediately be followed by
reductions in the cost Of living.

Negro Assailant Of Girl
Is Lynched In Leitchfield.

Letchfeld, KY, Oct. Joe
Richardson, a negro, was lynched
here, following his arrest charg-
ed with attempted assault on
Rea Golf, a eleven.year-old
white girl. His body was found
hanging to an elm tree in the
court house yard.
The little girl was on her way
to school about s o'clock in the
morning when, it is said, she
was attacked by the negro who
was frightened away by approach
of the neigh bors, attracted to
the scene by the screams of the
child.
