the purpose this time of enabling France to secure loan, understood to be about $1OO, ,000, 900, in the United States The pre- sumption is that the loan if made will be utilized in part at least in payment of American commodities which France intends to buy or has already bought in the United States.
 When the American bankers and the men who represented England and France were in negotiation with intent, if possible, to place loan of $500. O,OOO in the United States to the joint account of England and France one of the points very earnestly discussed related to the security. The American bankers knew how insistent American investors are upon good security. The credit of the United States or of a state or municipal ity in the United States furnished am pie security. But when it came to foreign loan the wonder was whether American investors would not find it desirable to obtain some kind of visible security France and England, however, would not consent to back their loan upon any other terms than national honor and national resources.
 Now the French government, in order to keep it's face and say to the people of France that loan has been negotiated for France with American bankers, has adopted the plan, not original with it, of borrowing the money from an American banking syndicate. The government will secure a discount of it's paper from this cooperative institution.
 But there is to be a highly artificial financial arrangement, perfectly honor able, and nevertheless one that will sat- isfy American investors. For co-op- erative organization of American banks will be created. With this organization the French government which has mobi- lized large amount of foreign securities held in France, will deposit these se- curties. Then the American institution will isuse it's own bonds and offer them to the public. So far as the investing public is concerned. this Is purely and simply an American loan. So far as the organization is concerned. 1t Is an American loan. but the or ganization finds security for it's own bonds in the deposit with it by France is in possession of an enormous amount of Russian obligations none of these will be used in this transaction, but in stead only the obligations of neutral na- tions.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Americanism

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Hughes and Roosevelt are constantly talking Americanisnl, Americanism. If these gentlemen want to show the true spirit and best type of Americanism in these troublesome times, let them bury their politics and show their patriotism and Americanism by supporting the gov ernment, which practically means the present administration. instead of trying by their public statements to convince all Europe that President Wilson and the government have not the confidence of the American people.
 This, In my humble opinion. would be true Americanism.
 I believe the American people realize and will show by their vote that this is no time to swap horses" Yours very truly, c. D. AIRES.

RESOLUTIONS Of CITY
CHAMBER Of COMMERCE

RESOLVED: By Marietta Cham
Der of Commerce and the Cobb Coun-
ty Progressive League.
Il. That the Act passed by the
last Legislature prohibiting the char
tering of any Road which would
parallel the tracks of the w. & A.
Railroad Or that would inJure the
business of the w & A. Road so long
as 1t remains the property OF the
State, inevitably results in suppress
ing competition and establishing
monopoly throughout North Georgia
in favor of the Southern Railway and
the w & A. Road.
"2 That said law unjustly dis
eliminates against this large section
of the state, which is rich in timber,
mineral, agricultural, and other
natural resources; paralyzes and re
tards its growth and development,
while at the same time leaves all the
rest of our great State open and free
to benefit not only from actual
building of railroads and interurban
lines, but to prosper from the know
ledge by the public of this, our mis-
fortune

ton and promote monopoly. and to do
so is against the spirit of our Consti
tuticn and laws, and contrary to the
Georgia idea of fair play.
"a. That we appeal to our Sena-
tor and Representatives and to the
entire Legislature of Georgia to re
peal this unjust law, and thus give
North Georgia an equal chance with
the rest of the state. We protest
against all favoritism and against the
creation of class or other discrimi-
nation between sections, as well as
citizens, of this state.
.. That we request the press of
our county and of North Georgia es-
pecially, and the press of the entire
State, to publish these resolutions
and to help us editorially in securing
relief from this manifest injustice to
our City, County, and Section. Marcn

MARIETTA BOYS WIN
DEBATE OVER ROME

The debate between Vaughn Wood
and Wilbert Dolph, of Rome. and
Fred Morris and George Teipel, Of
Marietta, at the High School Fri
day evening was very interesting and
resulted in victory for Marietta.
The subject was: Resolved that
the appointment of judges by the
governor, subject to confirmation by
the senate, is better than the present
method for Georgia"
This question was selected by Pro-
J. S. Stewart, of Athens, for the High
School boys to debate all over the
state. The Marietta boys had the
affirmative side.
Prof. Spencer presided, as the
school superintendent was too in
disposed to be present, and Rev. s.
Y. jameson, Capt. John Boston and
Mr.. George Anderson, were judges.
Or. jameson announced the deci-
sion saying all the speeches Were
good and showed the boys had pre-
pared them carefully and intelli-
gently and there was only a slight
difference in favor of the affirmative
side.
Before the debate Miss Lucille Nor
ris played a piano accompaniment
for the boys to sing a hunting song
and after the decision Miss Carolyn
Cooper played for the songs "Sante
Lucia" and Flow Gently Sweet At
tom
The same question will soon be
debated by John Heck and Greer Ed
wards with Acworth boys and Fred
Morris and George Teipel will con-
tend with two Gainesville boys

Mr.. Mnnning's Second Term.

few days ago Governor Manning
entered the race for reelection to the
Office Of governor. Governor Manning
has shown n clear head and good
with matters pertaining to his office,
also sublime courage in dealing with
evil doors. His promise as to the en-
forccmcnt Of law has been kept, and
officers Of the law in the many coun-
ties which compose this great state,
have been made to see more clearly
than ever before where their duties lie
in reference to the enforcement of
the laws upon the statute books. That
no law should be winked at and its
violators condoned, and that bad
law enforced means its speedy repeal.
Mr.. Manning should have another
term in which to round out the work
which he has SO successfully COM
menced, and to show to the people Of
other states that South Carolina be-
lieves in the enforcement of law and
order.-Sumter Herald.

No Bitterness.

The race for governor between
Messrs Cooper and Manning this
summer may be very close and hence
very exciting but there will be no bit
terness IN it. Both are men of too
high character to resort to under
handed tactics and demagogic appeals
to win. They will make a race on
their merits and leave it to the voters
to say which shall be the governor for
the next two years. And whichever
Of The two the voters may choose the
state will be in safe hands, for they
are both good men. There are great
many who feel that Mr.. Manning
should have been given second term
without opposition. However, there is
plenty of precedent for governor to
have opposition for a second term
and Mr.. Cooper is thus well within
his rights in running. 1t Is up to the
voters to choose between thcm.-Spar-

The I}uzZing Bee.

Rarely !. IS even our esteemed con-
temporary, The News and Courier
stated the case with moro acumcn or
in better style than in "a Martyr to
Duty" which We reprint in our Press
column OF this issue.
BY all means let US now have Mr..
Coopcr's platform.
1t might, in passing, be observed
that often otherwise very sane men
suffer from strange hallucinations on
particular subjects. The advice which
Mr. Cooper asScrvatcS has been
pouring In upon him SO insistcntly
and pcrsistcntly during the past few
months, may possibly be merely a
reflex acting upon the brain Of the
recipient. Perhaps Mr.. Cooper has
mistaken the pleasant buzzing Of the
political bee in his bonnet for the s..
O. S. call Of the people Of the state
for new governor Florence Times.

COOper's Candidacy.

To say that Mr. Coopers entrance
into the race for governor has met
with cool reception by the press of

that does not signify anything. Somo
four years ago a man by the name Of
Cole Blcase ran for that same office
and the press OF the state almost
unanimously opposed him, and every
body remembers the result. We do
not claim this will be the case in this
