Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-21
Editor The Georgian:


Have we really any reason to
believe that there is much sub
stantial difference between primi-
tive cannibalism Of savagery and
that Of our so-called civilization
of the twentieth century?
How can we differenate, from
a philanthropic standpoint at
least, the two stages of society,
when one group or nation of peo-
pie whose forefathers (foreigners)
shed blood and struggled contin-
uously to secure them the liberty
and advantages they now pos
sess. are now themselves making
an effort to deprive and exclude
worthy, honest and capable men
and women from the Eastern
Hemisphere to our own shore7
Does not the Constitution Of
the United States and the Dec
laration of independence stare us
in the face7 Do these valuable
documents mean anything to us
at all, or should we throw them
in the waste basket and ignore
the lofty principles upon which
opr republic has been built?
This Burnett BILL" now pend
ing in Congress at Washington,
has for its ultimate object the
amendment of the immigration
laws, with q view of restricting
immigration to such an extent as
practically to mean the closing OF
the gates Of the land of the free"
in the faces of those who seek our
country as q shelter from relig-
.ous and political persecution.
This bill, row pending, is a rep
etition of a similar attempt,
which met with failure in the
past. And there is no doubt
that the same negative results
will occur this time, If only the
people wake up and intelligently
comprehend the true issues in
volved in such proposals in Con-
gress and the destructive and
detrimental influences that may
result to all the people Of our
land, II such bills were really
passed.
The passage Of the Burnett bill
would not only be a reflection on
our nation, but a menace to the
human race in general. Any in
dorsement or favorable influence
for such bill is repulsive.
James Russell Lowell once said
"They are slaves who dare not
speak for the humble and the
weak. They are slaves who dare
not be among the right of two,
and three" II we should be
passive and inert to this vital and
humane problem, then we are
towards.
The literary test" and also the
new physical test" would ex-
clude thousands of good people
from our country.
Do we realize how few Ameri-
cans would be able to stand the
physical test themselves? And Is
It not ridiculous to measure hu-
man worth, standard and ability
by his anatomic structures?
Suppose a man is one inch
shorter than the required height
or the expansion and contraction
of his chest is one-half an inch
less, but otherwise well, should he
be sent back? Suppose men like
Mr.. Burnett were physically and
literarily disqualified. but pos
sessed plenty of money, do you
think they would be excluded
from our counry7
Just because economic deter
minism" has put thousands Of
people in Europe among the hum
bic, weak and lowly, and de-
prived them of an equal oppor-
tunity to learn how to read, write
and study, is no sane reason why
we civilized people Of the United
States. living In the modern, en-

A good roads meeting was held
at Tyndall last Friday evening in
Curtis garage which was attended
by several hundred people. Col.
Thatcher, the promoter of the
Washington Highway, was the
chief speaker. Monday evening
a meeting was held at Yankton
which also was attended by a very
large number of delegates from
the towns on the line of the High
way. The road according to Col.
Thatcher must be so feet wide,
the object of which is to compel
people to move their fences where
they belong. The width of every
road according to law is Sc feet,
but very few are that wide. In
the majority of places fences are
put 4U feet apart and while no one
says anything they remain SO. 1t
is only a just demand to have the
fences moved 66 feet apart on the
Washington Highway so that
everything is worked out correctly
from the start; that later we
may be in line for a government
appropriation for the Highway,
because the government will not
recognize a road less than so feet
wide. 1t is indeed gratifying to
note that all who promised to do
work on the road, are living up to
their promise. East and west of
all corners are now cut and
tractors with graders are
operating east and west of Tabor,
besides a large number of teams
with scrapers. The same activity
IS in evidence in the remainder of
on the Highway

County School Notes.
By supt. G. G. Fites.

We desire to call the attention
of teachers and pupils to the ex-
celIent list of articles, published
in many of our county papers,
from our state college. These ar
t;cles are timely and should prove
of much interest to the farmer
boys and girls.
The Associate teachers for No
vember has reached our desk. 1t
is full of educational news notes.
Those teachers who have difficult
ty in passing the teachers exami-
nation will find the answers given
to recent examination tests very
helpful in the Associate Teacher.
The first series of District Insti-
tutes will occur in the five towns
of the county as follows: Avon,
November 21st; Tyndall, Novem-
Der 2Sth; Springfield, December
9Th; Scotland, December 18th and
Tabor, December 10. The pro-
gram will be based upon the work
of the reading circle. Teachers
who ettend receive a per diem and
mileage. Those who do not at
tend are subject to a fine of 81, 80
besides mourning the illwill of the
county superintendent.
Complaint reaches this Office of
teachers who came late to school
ON Monday morning. These com
plants do not come from occasion
al cases but from school we're the
practice seems to be the rule rath
err than the exception. We know
of one teacher who was locked a
weeks wages to make up for this
loss Of time. One of the most es-
sential things to be gained from
our system of education is that of
punctuality and order. Order
was the gratest factor in the inf
nate plan of creation. Teachers
Nv ~ 50. 49, ~
are also creators of worlds, mental
worlds, if you please, and if they
r to succeed, they must pattern
after the Infinite Creator.
It is indeed gratifying to 9
ceive such excellent reports from
various districts regarding the
willingness of the school boards to
comply with the regulations of
the Board of Health. Most peo-
pie know that an ounce proven
ton is worth whole load of cure.
Those who do not know this find
ing it out through experience.
Sometimes the experience takes
them even within the shadows of
death.
There were FL applicants at the
last Teachers Examination. If

these applicants succeed in secur-
ing certificates, the county will

to their school building. Every

We are often asked by teachers
and pupils for information con-
corning the president of the Uni

is $12, 900 per year, in addition to
being vice-president, he is presi-
dent of the senate. The president
protein of the senate is James p.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

to consider the treatment OF the rail-
roads. When the transportation in
terests want a little increase of rates.
to overcome the effect of declining
revenues, the country rises in protest
against them. The railroads may
point out that the effect of the in
crease on the cost of the things used
by the average man would be almost
negligible, but even that little the
public are unwilling to spare, all
though the effect might be to stimuli
late business to great extent, and
to promote the general welfare.
Right now there are indications
that representative bodies of business
men are preparing to oppose the de-
mand of the Eastern roads for FIVE
per cent increase of rates. Where
is the business courage of which
those people boast? If the railroads
get the increase of rates they will be
able to add to their facilities, to buy
more material, to employ more men
and to quicken the pulse of Industry
over the entire country They would
do more to increase the prosperity of
the business community than to add
TO their own net revenue. But ths
business interests are not going to
take any chances. Does Ii not look
as IL the ge which formerly in
duced the American business man to
risk a dime on the chance. of making
dollar has been replaced by the
conservatism which induces him to
hold his dime in order that he may
be able to spend 1t so as to impress
his neighbors and the whole world
with an idea OF his wealth?

Opportunities for American Trade

British Columbia offers splendid
for American trade.
Conditions are especially favorable
for establishing new business. The.
country is still in the development
stage, and is without the established
trade connections common to older
countries; but great progress was
made In railway building in the
province during the last year an ag
gressive campaign of railway con-
struction is still going on, and
transportation facilities are being ex-
tended into new territory, covering
areas of country hitherto practically
inaccessible, or reached with difficulty.
In addition to railway building there
has been great activity in the con-
struction of highways which has the
encouragement and material assist
ance of the provincial government.
As result large numbers OF immi-
grants have been settling in the farm
ingadistricts, opening up new terri
tory and establishing new communi-
ties and towns in the interior. This
has created markets for manufactures
that can be supplied by American
exporters, who have the advantage of
comparatively cheap transportation
rates, with a choice of rail or water
routes to the coast cities and dis
tributing points. So tsa.tit#s'.' : . =. = :
The increasing interest in farming
in British Columbia furnishes oppor-
tunities for the sale of farm imple-
ments, machinery and tools. the
activity in the building trades fur
nishes a market for building material
and the construction of highways re-
quires road-making machinery and
