SUGGESTIONS FOR
1923FAIR OFFERED
BY c. w. MCCLURE

Voicing hearty approval of the
proposal to have in Atlanta in the
near future a worlds exposition, c.
w. Mcclure, head of the Mcclure
Ten-Cent company, and president of
the Harding Republican Club of
Georgia, Tuesday gave out state
ment offering several suggestions as
to the proper method of going about
the contamination of the worlds fair
plans.
"It should be worlds peace ex-
position" said Mr.. Mcclure. and
should be held in 1923. The Euro
pean countries are so torn up and
financially embarrassed that very
little cooperation can be expected
from that source. 1t would also be
bad business and place us in an I'M
enviable light to be placed in the
position of competing with Phila-.
delphia, who has already announced
its Ilans for worlds exposition in
1925 Instead of competing with
Ihiladelrhia we should offer them
our cooperation and seek theirs in
Cur project.
AN a,I-American exposition COM
niemora1jng the rror1ulgation Of the
Monroe doctrine would take advan-
taGe Of the American psychological
condition The people all over the
uni-ed States have voiced their ap-
prevail of strict Americanism by vot-
ing so overwhelmingly against the
League Oh Nations and an ali-Amer-
lea exposition exploiting the Monroe
doctrine, would meet with universal
ued Mr.. Mcclure.
I also think that this exposition
should be held in 1928 instead of
1925. We should allow at least two
or three years time to elapse be-
tween our exposition and that of
Philadelphia. Another reason why
1928 should be selected as the date
is the fact that interest would wane
1925.
1T is time Atlanta was doing
something of this kind. In 1895 we
held a cotton exposition which was
principally a southern proposition.
We should now spread out and show
the world that we are not confined
by any sectional lines and can Just
as successfully stage an all-Ameri-
can proposition, embracing Canada,
the United States, Mexico, Central
and South America.
We do not by any means want to
undertake anything in Atlanta which
cannot be carried out to successful
conclusion with credit to Atlanta.
However, this exposition can be made
a success if every one places his
shoulder to the wheel and pushes
and pulls together. Some one should
be placed at the head of the enter
prise who has vision, ability, energy.
who is willing to devote all of his
time to the project for the next two
years. This man should then have
the cooperation of every one in At
lanta in making the exposition a sue
cess.
I'm building the plant we should
make all the buildings permanent
so that after the fair is over the
grounds can be used for different
public purposes such as Philadelphia
has done. If Camp Gordon is secur-
ed and the buildings are made per-
manent there should be a splendid
chance of having the government
make Camp Gordon a national park
There is none in the south and if
the south will wake up and handle
herself in a business-like and COM
nonsense manner she will get d
great many things and a great deal
more attention from the government
in financial and in business ways
than she has ever gotten hef0re :"

Little Chess Prodigy
Keeps Amazing Experts
And Wins Gold Medal

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Little Samuel
Rzesewski, the eight-year-old chess
marvel of the age, is now in New
York challenging all corners, regard
less of size, age or discretion, to a.
chess match.
He recently played eighteen West
Point officers, strategists all, easily
winning every game but one, in which
he played to draw.
The lad, who is a Polish Jew, has
won from chess champions of Vienna,
Berlin. Paris, Warsaw. London and
other European capitals He plays
any number of his adversaries stimuli
taneously, making his calculations
and moves with lightning like rapid
ity.
Colonel G. ]. Fieberger, who alone
of the eighteen West Point challeng-
ers held the lad to an even score, met
him on more even ground, seeming to
be familiar with the boys method of
attack. Long after all the others had
fallen out, when the imposs1bility. of
winning became apparent, the Two
matched wits, with the STRIPPING

pondered moves with counters which
came almost before his rivals piece

When deadlock was reached the

bedtime was long past, though the
youngster, unaffected by the hun

absorbed in the game and willing to
prolong it to a break.

IRISH ''REPUDL|C"
MUST SURRENDER
To BRING PEACE

LONDON, Dec. Spy the Asso-
w1o1, chief secretary for Ireland
declared emphatically, amidst cheers
in the house of commons today, that
he was convinced there can be no
truce or successful! advocacy of a
truce, in Ireland until the extreme
leaders of the Irish republican army
either surrender and deliver their
arms or are arrested"
Efforts to Arrange Truce
Efforts to arrange truce in Ire
land was the dominating topic of
this mornings newspapers, which
printed many rumors gathered in
Duolin and London. These showed
intense interest in the situation and
a widespread hope for definite re-
suits from the exchanges of views
now understood to be going on.
One Dublin dispatch declared there
Arthur Griffith and the Mcneil
brothers, prominent Sim Feiners,
were kept in prison, while another
took the view that the irreconcilia-
bles of the Irish republican brother
hood really were in control of the
situation and would be able to pre-
vent any settlement which did not
recognize their full demands. 1t is
pretty generally conceded that con-
versations have not as yet reached
the stage of definite negotiations.
Not Speaking for Sim Fem
Father Patrick O'Flanagan could
not have been speaking for the Dali
Eireann when he made his suggestion
to Lloyd George for peace in Ire
land, Patrick O'Keefe, member OF
parliament, and secretary of the Sim
Fein organization, declared in a
statement which disavoWs this par
ticular peace overture.
O'Keefe explains that there has
been no meeting of the Dali Eireann
since the arrest of Arthur Griffiths,
acting president of the Irish repub-
lic," and declares that only the Dali
Eireann is authorized to make any
proposal on behalf of the country"
Devlin's description in the COM
mons of the Ireland of today was
that of a state where freedom OF
speech has been destroyed, trial by
jury disappeared, and public meet
ings banned"
EVERY vestige of liberty is gone
he declared. But the most indie
feasible persecution yet conducted by
the government in it's recent attack
on the Freeman Journal, whose edi-
tors have been imprisoned on the
charge of publishing articles likely
to cause disaffection. They have not
been convicted on these untrue accu-
sations, but they have nevertheless
been thrown into Jail"

COTTON

NEW YORK, Dec. S.--The cotton market
was unsettled during today's early trading
owing to a further decline in Liverpool I'M
favorable advices from Havre and south
ern and local selling. The opening was I'M
changed to 16 points lower and active months
SOLD about Is to % points below last nights
closing during the early trading with Janu-
airy touching 1865 and March 1880. The
census report, showing 10,144,9 21 bales
glnned prior to December /, was not con-
sidered an important influence on the imme
date market. Trade advices from Havre
said that French mills had decided on
three-day week from December 10. but Liv-
erpool cabled that Manchester buying had
caused rallies from an early decline there.
Offerings were very light later and there
were rallies on covering. There was also
some buying by local operators on the ad-
vance to 1895 for January and 1907 for
. March, or to points above last nights
closing. This was accompanied by reports
that speculative buying was beginning to
show itself in the goods market, but the
bulge was not fully maintained and the
market was so narrow that it responded to
comparatively small orders either way.
General business remained very quiet dur
Ing the early afternoon, but there was a
squirt of covering with March ruling around
$4,000 or within points of last nights
closing.

Teacher Recommends
Schools for Wives

DETROIT, Mich. Compulsory
schools for wives to equip them for
the responsibilities of matrimony
are advocated by Arthur F. Lederle,
of the Detroit public schools.
Marriage should be a profession
among women" he said. Happy
marriages are few. Laws compelling
wives to go to school would prevent
child marriage, most of which is
caused by a desire on the part of the
girl to marry to escape the irksome-
ness of high school or college. I
hope wife-education flaws will be
passed soon."
