Though Horace A. Wade is the youngest author in America, being only, 12 years old and aIready the laborious about his authorship.
 When asked yesterday afternoon where he got his plots the boy spoke like veritable young Scott or Dick ems or Balsac Why, do you know" he said enthusiastically, 'T, can walk stories.
 Imagine as you pass each house what is happening behind those win dows? What would the drawn cdrtaln show? When l was in Atlanta in the lobby Of a hotel there 1 saw plot for a good story in only a man walking up the stairway of the hotel carrying suitcase, which it looked like ne was holding more, tightly than he need to have done.
 "I thought right then what. can be in that suitcase that he seems so anx- ious? Then 1 thought of my story. The story could be that he had some important papers containing informa- ton some invention or govern ment secrets. Then ho goes on up the stairs to his room. Some fellows see him and in the middle of the night they try to get the papers. Lots or trouble starts in the middle of the night and I could keep up his adventures until the papers or the invention were safe and l had brought Tn girl and could leave him married.
 ''Of course, the girl has to come in or the story just wouldn't go over. Some people look like they can't learn that | wrote one book without meaning to marry the hero at the end though l had d girl in it, but mother and the whole family kept after me about that girl and Worried me so until l let them marry, Now, I think that is best, for 1t leaves good taste.'
 Spoken like an oracle. But Horace A. Wade is not at all the kind of boy commonly associated with the idea of the bookWorm and the "specks" On the very contrary he is all alive, per- haps little nervously alive, natural enough for such youthful thinker.
 He is q great baseball fan and n dead game sport. It is indeed a most unusual combination, but, it is true, the young author still has some of the actual baby in him. This was snown in the introduction into the conversa- tion of his favorite pet a regular and tightly stuffed teddy bear. Teddy also revealed the mixture of babyhood, boy hood and premature manhood in his history. Teddy was first named for Theodore Roosevelt he had borne that distinguished name for some time when his owner became devotee Of baseball and now Teddy must be hu- inflated with loss of identity in 6 new name, George Sissler," in honor of the famous baseball hero
 "Is Teddy live bear?" the reporter asked. not having seem him. Young Wade laughed boyishly. No, not real ly, but he is alive to me- Just then the boys mother came in and another characteristic of the delightful boy was shown in an evident adoration TOT her, As she left the room later he kissed her hand. That this love was the real thing came in answer to a question, perhaps ll-put to 1s-year- -oid, re- garding his ideal of woman. "If they could all just be like that moth

By Associated Press

Sacramento. Cal. January 7.-The California Senate adopted today, 29 to 0, resolution requesting the national government to agree to no treaty with Japan that would nullify the states anti-alien land law Or that would grant the right of citizenship to Jap anese.
 The resolution was taken up out of order with unanimous consent of the Senate so that quick action might be had upon it.
 Ihere are some phases of the nego- nations that cannot be discussed, said Senator Inman, who drew up the meas ure but it can be said that there is danger, serious danger. that the federal government may give the right 50 citizenship to Japanese on the Pacific coast as a sort of trading agreement.

5O PER CENT CUT
 IS DECIDED UPON
By Associnted Press

Danvile, Va, January 7.--At a well attended meeting of the Danville To- bacco association in this city today and urging a 50 per cent curtailment of tobacco acreage in the Old Bright belts of Virginia and North Carolina for 1921 was adopted The reason for the recommended curtailment was set forth in a preamble citing the low price of the 1920 crop as compared with the preceding year. attributing this to the overstocked European market. the ad- verse foreign exchange conditions and the likelihood of still further reduc ton in prices unless the crop soon to be planted is materially curtailed. To- bacco growers are urged to devote the surplus acreage to the growing of food and forage crops whereby the cost of living and tobacco production may be reduced
 President J. H. Warren of the Vir- ginia and North Carolina Tobacco Growers association was presented and approved the suggested curtailment.
 The Boatwright resolution was intro duced at the suggestion of Tazewell M. Darlington of Richmond. president of the Tobacco Association of the United States. It cites the fact that total pro- duction of tobacco in the United States in 1920 was between 550,000,000 and 600.000. GOO pounds, compared with 470,- 000,000 in 1919 and 450,000.000 in 1918. The average price paid for the 1920 crop will be 20 to 23 cents pound, compared with 50 cents in 1919 and 35 cents in 1918. Even with the adop- tion of the recommended curtailment plan, it is predicted that the price average for 1921 would be but little if any increase over 1920.

 No religion which comments itself and which reaches the souls of men, needs the power of civil legislation. Place two dogmas side by side; one may win, tlle other side The one which wins will ask for no help from the civil power. 1t has in itself elements of success. That one element is truth
 Souls hungry for thS bread of life see in it that which is satisfying No need of driving them to it. Its beauty draws them. The other. lacking these elements, resorts to force; unable to win by lls own merit, and thus to reach the soul, it appeals to the civil power and rules the body, compelling an outward ohe- denee to a pretended spiritual doctrine.

Religious Laws Make Hypocrit.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 A law compelling men 10 keep Sun day, or any other day as if they thought it sacred, would be enforcing q religious dogma and compelling people to ac- quiesce outwardly in the religious ideas of others.
 Religious laws make hypocrItes. The conscientious man objects, and gets into trouble. It is certainly time for the ideas which controlled the religious per- secutors of the sixteenth century to be banished, never to appear aagin. That we have not attained the ideal is proof of the limitations of our fallen nature. There is in government absolutely no power to lift mankind to a higher spirit ual plane The sooner this is recognized, the better.
 All religious legislation has had as it's object but one thing: the enforcement of certain dogmas held by some man or class of men, There has been coupled with this. the fear that, if left without
