PEACE TALK
Anglers THE BRITISH

London, Dec. 5.-Reports received

several editorials in opposition to such
a move.
IF tn eallies are even reduced to an

Therefore We suggest to our Ameri-

wisdom for them to leave us to fight

The Morning Post argues that the

STATE ELECTION COUNT
SHOWS BIG DEMOCRATIC VOTE

Atlanta, Dec. 5.-The official count
on the presidential election in Geor-
gia has been completed in the gov
ernor's Office and is herewith announc-
ed for the first time.
Wilson, 1851.
Hughes-TRepublican ticket, 11,275.
Hughes Progressive ticket, 2O,653.
Socialists, 967.
Prohibitionists, 0. The prohibition
party placed no ticket in the field.
The official count has several inter
esting features. While the democrat
ic vote is larger than that of four
years ago, the Republican vote in the
state was split in two, owing to the
two factions which have sprung up
and the two separate Hughes tickets
in the field. The Hughes-Republican
ticket represented the Jackson wing
of the Republicans in Georgia, that
is, the old line Republicans, while the
Hughes Progressive ticket represent
ed the activities of the men who are
working to build up a second white
party in Georgia.

CHANGING LIE SCHOOLS.

Now it develops that the fight start
ed by Watson and his candidate Reese
against the susef of certain school
buildings owned by Catholics In Sa-
vanah for state school purposes has
hit harder than it was presumed such
fight would hit. When the state at
torney general got hold of the ques-
ton and handed down an opinion, it
was found that a, complete separation
Of church and state in. the matter OF
schools would affect Baptists Meth
odists and other denominations over
the state as we'll as the Catholics. In
other words, Baptists and Methodists
we're conducting schools where state
funds were helping to defrrally the ex-
penses.
Now the Baptists and Methodists
are quietly slipping out from their con-
aections of this kind. They have been
advised by the state attorney general
% do so at their first opportunity, for
The state can no longer support such
schools. The Methodists at the SEES
3ions of the South Georgia confer
nee in Thomasville have made pro
visions for changing plans of operat-
ng five of their secondary schools.
Wherever the Methodists have a
;chool drawing from the state fund
md that school is preparing the child
n such grades as the state can legal
y pay for, it has been considered wise
nd helpful to permit such school to
raw the state fund for such child as
) within the age legally prescribed.
IND so it had been with the Baptists
md others.
But Watson and Reese started
yeeding out the Catholics and the
recess is now wedding out the Bap-
lists and Methodists And it is 60
.ag to hurt education in general
throughout the state, unless the at
ack serves to enlist interest from 9th
r sources. Wherever a church edifice
being used as a school building, the
tate cannot help pay for the main
enances of the school Wherever a
eligious denomination has anything
do with the operation of a school,
he state cannot have anything to do
! With the paying for its maintenance,
% matter how many children are
here of state age and entitled to the
state fund.
The religious denominations of the
tate are doing a wonderful educa-
onal work, far more than the ordi7
AIRY person can estimate. The Cath
lies are educating children, too, as
many of them as they can muster.
,Vatsons fight against Savannah
chool that was conducted in build
.ng owned by the Catholics, has made
t. necessary now to draw the line ev-
arywhere No school operated by a
aligious denomination anywhere can
ave a dollar of the state fund, so
! .Iolds Attorney General Walker in con-
lection with the Savannah case.
Most of us believe in separation
church and state. That however, is
lot the thing now. 1t is the educa-
ION of the young under any sort of
.ood influence or religious denomina-
ion rather than have nothing. If the
Methodists and Baptists and Cath
olics want to help as they have been
helping. it is nonsense to allow Wat
ons political attacks to interfere.
