SOUTH FORCETS
OLD LEADERS,,
SAYS VET

Captain Robert NJ. Clayton, one of
Atlanta's most beloved veterans of
the Civil War; paused Monday be-
tween extending invitations to mis-
friends to attend the services cele-
brating the birthday of General Rob-
ert E. Lee at the State Capitol Mon
day afternoon and lamenting the
seeming lack of sentiment in the
South of to-day and the seeming for
getfulness Of the younger generation
of the great men and the glorious
events of the past
I'VE are going to meet at the Cap
itol to hear an address by James l..
Mayson, City Attorney, on that great
est of all our Southern gentlemen,
Robert Z. Lee" he said. After that
crosses of honor will be bestowed up
on a number of veterans and de-
scendants of veterans.
"War Will Be Forgotten"
But outside of veterans and some
members OF the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, I don't expect any
one else to be there Every year we
remember Robert f. Lee in Atlanta
with appropriate services, but outside
of the veterans and a few persons
closely associated with them, no one
else comes.
Il believe that within a few years
when the veterans are all dead, the
Civil War and all its inspiring events
will be forgotten"
Captain Clayton sees a moral in
this change. Though he proudly ad-
mits most of his affections and ties
are with the past, he sees in the years
that are gone the basis of our ideals
OF to-day and the future, the only

Holderby Attacks
Evelyn Thaw Decree

The tango and a tango dancer in
the person of Evelyn Thaw were
again in the limelight Monday fol-
lowing severe attacks upon them in
two Atlanta churches Sunday. Father
Rapier at the Sacred Heart Church
admonished his hearers to beware Of
the fascinating step unless in the flu
ture they should have to answer heav-
lily for their transgyession. He said
his sermon was not inspired by the
recent papal ban on the dance, issued
by Cardinal Pompille, but by his
own feelings in the matter.

IMMIGRATION legislation is
 needed, and needed badly, but it must be the right kind of Legislation. What is needed is not restrictive but discriminatory and helpful legislation.
 If the government would set aside five hundred thousand acres of land, cut it up into small farm ing tracts, then establish bank or fund from which the immigrant could borrow one thousand dollars to devote to the erection of home, the development of the land and it's purchase, the problem of the high cost of living would disappear forever within few years there after.
 IF ONE HUNDRED THoUsANp PEOPLE COULD BE TAKEN FROM THE LARGE CITIES AND SENT ~sAck TO THE LAND" THEv WOULD PRODUCE ENOUGH IN FooDsTuFFs TO FEED FIVE MIL LION PERSONS, AND THEY WOULD CREATE LABOR FOR TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND OTHER PERSONS NOW IDLE.

NO Registration of Voters this Year

Aside from the assassination of the
track elevation plans the city council
had one important matter ON Monday
evening and that was the reception OF
the petitions for the annexation of a
large tract of territory to the south and
west of the city. The petitions which
have been in circulation ever since the
last petition for annexation was killed
contained a total Of 276 signers and it
was declared by Charles Lathrop, who
presented them to the council, that the
signers represented a majority of the
property owners, majority of the
electors and a majority of the assessed
property in the large territory seeking
annexation. There was no debate
when the petitions were presented to
the council and without comment they
were referred to the committee on
Judiciary which committee will check
up the names with the assessment
rolls of the towns of Somers and
Pleasant Prairie and report to the
council the result of their findings just
as soon as possible. The work to be
done by the committee is one which
will require lot of time and it is
hardly possible that this work can be
completed before the first meeting of
the council in March If the commit
tee reports favorably on the petitions
it is not thought that the plan for
annexation will meet with any great
opposition.
The territory covered by the petit
tions is the largest ever offered for an
nexation to the city and in extent it
lis nearly as large as one-third of the
