Saws Negroes WrOnged.

Atlanta, Jan. 13.-Wrongs are be-
ing perpetuated against negroes in
Georgia that "run all the gamut from
the meanest Of petty cheating to de-
liberate and plotted murder" Unit
ed States District Attorney Hooper
Alexander declared in a statement
made here today in connection with
announcing service of peonage in
dictments against three residents of
Henry County.
Mr.. Alexander indicated that feder-
al officers will begin Statewide in
vestigation of the situation.
Comparatively little effcrt is being
made by the proper officers to eEd
these conditions" the district attor-
ney said. ON large proportion of
the cases judicial processes are issued
by magistrates that are used in the
most shameless manner in the aid OF
crimes and the attendant circum-
stances are such as should call for in
dictment for malpractice. Cases have
occurred in which there is the gravest
reason to fear that other officers of
the law have been active participants
in the gravest kind of wrongs. The
things of which l speak run all the ga
NUT from the meanest of petty cheat-
ing to deliberate and plotted murder.
Ninety-nine per cent of our people
would utterly deplorc' and condemn
what is going on, but something more
is demanded of civilized people and
their government than mere senti-
ment. If the people of the State per-
nit the continuance of conditions that
now prevail, sooner or later, and in
some way, we will suffer dreadful
retribution."
The peonage indictments were o.
dered served OF Erwin Morris, well
to-do farmer and two Of his tenants,
one a negro, all three of whom are
in jail at Jonesboro according to the
district attorneys office, in connection
with the killing of another negro.

The Passing of Wilson

(From the London Round Table,
On November 2, by a convincing
vote, the people of the United States
repudiated Woodrow Wilson-his per-
sonality, his idealiSm, his administra-
ton, his conduct in and out of office,
his treaty of Versailles and his
League of Nations. The great and
solemn referendum" which he plan
red and promised has destroyed him.
The prophet has been dishonercd by
his own country. He has been swept
by the tide of aversion down from the
highest piracle ever momentarily
attained by a statesman of modern
times.
The man whose pen splintered the
swords of Prussia, the man before
whose image the peasants Of Italy
burned candles, the man who gave
form to the loftiest political ideal that
ever captured the conscience of the
world, is broken and beaten by the
rods of his own people.
There is no need to dwell upon this
personal tragedy. 1t is clear, it is
complete-and is as old as time.
There is no need to dwell upon his
faults. They have been well adver-
tised. Woodrow Wilson's egotism,
his mistakes of judgement have been
by spellbinders during the
campaign to the JOY of crowds.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The first month of the administra-
ton of President Harding has passed
so rapidly that to most of the cabi-
net officers it has seemed like week.
Viewing the work of the new regime
dispassionately and with a recogni-
ton of the fact that Rome wasn't
built in a day. even the most ardent
partisan will admit that a start has
been mde on more problems in the
last four weeks than was possible in
the last year of the preceding admin
istration
This does not necessarily imply criti
cism of the officials who tried hard to
make progress in the face of inevi-
table friction between a republican
Congress and democratic executive.
But it proves that when all branches
cal complexion decisions can be made
and things accomplished.
President Harding was looked upon
before his election as man Of more
or less leisurely ways. He hasn't proved
so in office. He has worked night and
serious and earnest mind, knowing full
we'll that he must satisfy an impatient
electorate.
Mr.. Harding himself feels that he has
made headway on many important mat
ters, but if he were to speak what is
in his heart ne would tell the American
public that the individual who invented
patronage and the distribution of public
offices for political activity was really
more of a serpent than the evil genius
of ancient Eden
Hungry Constituents.
Mr.. Harding is pestered day and night
by the obligations Of politics. 1t isn't
that he owes anybody anything, but
be kept happy and they are in turn
bothered by hungry constituents.
Some idea of Mr.. Hardings feeling
was given John Kendrick Bangs the
other day when he dropped in at the
