Thomas W. LoyIess, of Augusta,
Attending Convention. AppIauds
New Political League.

Interesting comments on conditions
in Atlanta, as viewed by a disinter-
ested Georgian, were made Tuesday
BY Thomas w Loyless, editor of The
Augusta Chronicle and one of the
best-known newspaper publishers Of
the South, who is in Atlanta attend
ing the convention Of the Southern
Newspaper Publishers Association.
Mr. Loyless doesn't take any stock
in the bugaboo OF many citizens of
Atlanta that other cities OF Georgia
are jealous of the Capital City, but he
made some straight from-the Shout
der criticisms and some strong rec
concentrations with reference to the
chronic agitations for reform by GER
tain elements in Atlanta. and the or
ganization by the business men OF the
Citizens League to combat these ae-
itatio1s and direct popular opinion
into sane and conservative channels.
Theorists Not Majority.

WILSON VICTORIOUS IN THE
PANAMA CANAL TOLL DEAL
Washington, April 1.-The Panama
canal toll repeal bill, repeating the
provision of the Panama canal act
exempting American vessels from
payment of tolls, was passed by the
House of representatives by a vote
of 247 to 161, after an impassioned
address by Speaker Clark leading the
opposition
Representative Stone of Peoria,
Ill, who, had opposed the appeal,
voted for it on the final ballot as evil
dence of his disapproval of the per-
sonal attacks made on President Viii
son during the fight in the house.
Speaker Clark took the floor at
3:15 and his speech lasted over an
hour He declared he would rather
see the canal blown up than give the
British any control over it. His an
nouneement that he would not be
presidential candidate in 1916 was
received in silence.
Fifty-two Democrats voted against
the president, maintaining to the last
their determination to stick by the
Democratic platform plank for tolls
exemption on American ships. Twen-
ty-seven Republicans and Progress
sives combined voted for the repeal.
