gives the same figures in the same or.

sent to the state department.


Representative Murray's resolution
would ask the state department
whether "a new American policy OF
subjecting American wealth to the
selfish interest of the nations of Eu-
rope" is "the fundamental reason for
the demand to repeal the law now in
force, exempting american vessels
from canal tolls"
1t was recalled at the capitol that
Senator Chamberlain last November
introduced in the senate a petition Of
protest against reported remarks by
Ambassador Page from members of
the Confederated German Societies
and the Robert Emmett society, of
Portland, Oregon.
These protests, which were also for
warded to President Wilson and Sec
retary Bryan, characterized as "Un-
American remarks attributed to
Ambassador Page to the effect that
the United States vas Englisn-led and
English-culed, and that the obliga-
tion of governmenting and civilizing
rest with the people who speak the
language of Shakespeare"

the administration is concerned. When
a full report of the speech is received
it will be forwarded to the senate,
which asked for it by Senator Cham
berlain's resolution. President Will
son told callers today that any agi-
tation over Mr.. Pages references was
caused by misunderstanding of what
the ambassador said, and "a fuller re-
port of the speech showed that the
had correctly stated the
situation. The president is satisfied
that Mr. Page referred to the Pan
ANA repeal as mot to please England"
instead of mot merely to please Eng
land"

delivered extemporaneously late in the
evening and not reported verbatim,

that his reference to British use Of
the Panama canal was in light vein.
II was taken for granted al the cap
itoI, however, that in response to the
state departments request the ambas
sador would furnish MS recollection
OF just what he had said, with the de-

No attempt to oppose the resolution
was made, the usual custom being to
pass such measures as a matter of

A SIDE CAR TRIP

A trip Of one hundred and ten
miles with a motorcycle and side
car outfit over only ordinary
country roads might appear to
be some undertaking to lots of
people but not so to L. L. Dicker-
son, Mgr. of The Indian Store
and his able assistant Charlie
Butler. Mr.. Dickerson drives a
two speed Indian with the I'm
dian Maid" side car, and sells
the Indian in five of our adjoin-
ing counties. The young men
decided Sunday morning to make
a trip through their territory just
to exhibit the nobby little outfit.
Leaving Fitzgerald at eight
! o'clock the first stop was al
Rochelle, thence to Cordele. On
the road to Cordole, near Seville,
they were requested by the
sheriff of Wilcox county to appre-
bend one Sullivan, who shot and
killed a young man named Cason
at Seville Saturday night and
who was reported on the road to
Cordele about an hour ahead of
the sheriff. However no lookout
was kept ard they m de all posi-
BILE sp ed to Cordele, not stopping
at all to take on passengers
From Cordele the route was
through Ashburn to Triton, thence
home by way of Ocilla.
The boys reported very pleas
ant trip, bad roads in Ben Hill
and Wilcox counties, first class
roads in Crisp, Turner and Tiff
counties, while the best roads
found on the entire trip were in
Irwin and Ben Hill counties from
Ocilla.
The side car attracted much
attention all along the route, and
demonstrated it's ability for road
travel under any road conditions.

Atlanta, Georgia, January 20
Five authors of text books adopt

7! e commission which is headed
by Mr.. Britain was created
through the efforts of G. r. Nc
Crory, of Schley county, during
the last session of the general as
sembly and was in session here
about two months. The meeting
Wednesday however, will really
mark the first definite step toward
getting at the actual cost of pro-
duction of these books, that are
said by Mr.. McCrary to be two
and three times as expensive as
the texts in use in Ontario. The
author of the resolution asks every
one in Georgia interested in the
fight for cheaper books to attend
the sessions of the commission
that will last probobly several days.
Practically the entire time OF the
body at this meeting will be taken
up in thorough probe of the &C.
tual cost of production of Georgia
text books as compared with those
published in Ontario.
This is a phase of the matter
that has not yet been thoroughly
gone into and the results obtained
are expected to play an important
part in the subsequent recommen-
dations sent to the next session of
the Legislature by the commission.
Since the last meeting Senator
B. S. Miller, of the Twenty-fourth'
district, has resigned as one of the.
members from the upper house,

Wilson Finds Business
Conditions Promising

Washington, Jan. 19.-Presi-
dent Wilson has been receiving
opinions and estimates on the
business situation throughout
the country which leads him to
believe that general confidence
in the future exists.
The president told callers today
that while he had no scientific
analysis of the situation and that
his letters were of various colors,
in the main conditions were opti-
mistic.
Mr.. Wilson is said to believe
that in some industries, especial
ly those dependent on the rail-
roads, conditions have not been
satisfactory, but he made it clear
today that he had not expressed
any opinion, as had been report
ed, on the propriety of increas-
ing freight rates.
With reference to the tariff,
the presidents letters led him to
believe that business has been
stimulated by it, and that the
average small merchant is in bet
ter condition now than formerly.
