The game, supposed by some to have

have outleaped the onds of blood and race
For here comes a stocky Italian lad
Am ,rican-Italian-naned Gene Sarazen, a

il ES-By Frederic j. Haskin

despite the emergency it is unlikely that
immediate action will be taken. Senator
James E. Watson, of Indiana, who is look
ed upon in some quarters as the successor
of the late Senator Penrose as the real
Republican leader, has the job in hand.
President Harding indicated clearly what
he thought of the situation in the con-
gress as a whole and in the senate in
particular when he denounced legislation
by blocs Secretary of War Weeks-and
he, too, was formerly senator-spoke
right out in meeting and said the fun
damental trouble is the low standard of
craftsmanship resulting from the direct
primary. Chairman Adams, of the Re
publican national committee, fixes the
responsibility on the Democratic minority.
Senator Watson and other leaders who
feel the responsibility for the party's leg
islative program believe that the trouble
is a combination of what the president
and the national chairman have crit
icized That is to say, they attribute the
representation of congress to the power
welded by minorities, whether political or
special interest in character.
It is to be expected that the senator's
and representatives OF the opposition party
will Go ell that they can to obstruct leg

schedules that are not necessarily po-

blocs in many instances include both Re-
pubIicans and Democrats who stand to-

proposals with solidarity that jeopardizes
legislation by parties which has long been
the accepted order Of things in the con-
gress of the United States.
Each group has a program Of its own.
All have their axes to grind. Each has
it's views which must be presented to a

nations have marched together II time Of
storm and peril. Well may they mutually re-
joice over the hundred years Of freedom and
their unclouded prospect of growing good
will.
It was in the autumn of 1922 that BraziIs
independence of Portugal was proclaimed.
Some fourteen years earlier the prince regent,
Dom John, alarmed at Napoleons peninsula
advance, had fled from Lisbon to Rio de
Janeiro, taking with him the royal family,
and there had established the seat of gov
eminent. The colony impressed him as being
of so great Importance that he made it a
kingdom, under decree by which the PCrtu-
guese sovereignty took the title OF United
Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarve."
Upon the death of queen Dona Maria in 1916
the prince assumed the crown as Dom John
the Sixth, and five years later returned to
Portugal, his son Dom Pedro becoming
regent. During those five years Brazil grew
fast in prosperity nd in consciousness OF
selfhood. In 1921 there was an armed de-
mand for constitutional government, with
which the Crown Prince Pedro sympathized,
and which was granted. On September the
seventh of the ensuing year he proclaim
ed Brazil an Independent nation and was
himself declared constitutional emperor.

American colonies were winning their way to
freedom as republics. Portugal great domin-
ion in the New World became free as an en-
pire, which persisted until 1882 when it was
supplanted by republican government mod
eled after that of ,le United States.
At the meeting of the third Pan-American
Congress in Rio de Janero in 1906 Elihu
Root, then Secretary of State, was present
e- Washingtons representative, and made an
ever memorable address upon the common in
terests and common ideals of the Americas.
When Secretary Hughes goes to Rio de ia
Metro in September as head VI the United
States mission to the centennial he also will
have opportunity for history-making utter
ance, and, no doubt, will use it well. Ger
tainly he will carry with him the cordial con-
graduation of all his fellow countrymen for
the great republic t. which he goes.

T N reopening the discussion at The Hague

no matter how generous the inducements,
And it is the communists of the country,

wide spaces of what was once the domain of
the czar.
Should the Russian delegates agree to the
proposals of Lloyd George they will return to
their country at the real risE of their own

know Russia and her people. can realize it,
and that is why they hesitate in the confer

Germany's Worst Foe
- ERMANY, now threatened with counter
revolution, does not seem to realize

~ ERMANY, now threatened with counter
~ revolution, does not seem to realize
that the enemies within her borders
are far moro numerous than those without.
Chiefly she is threatened with the reac-
tfonary monarchists, and the assassination
of Rathenau shows how portenuous is the
threat.
At the bottom what Germany has to
fight now is the national psychology of her
by bowling aloud to the world that the coun-
try is being exploited and maltreated by her
enemies.
Work will save the German republic, and
work alone; this and the thorough scotching
of monarchistic outbreaks spon sored by the
remnants Of that aristocracy (save the
markD whose dreams of empire have
brought the German people, into that pass
from which they must now extricate them
selves.
Laziness has never been a fault in the
German character. Racially there is no lazi-
ness in the Teuton, and the men who now
speak for Germany know this great deal
better than any one else Therefore, the
allied commission knows that, given time
Germany will be able to work out her own
salvation meet her Preparations payments
and fulfill the obligations of the treaty
of Versailles.
One thing only is needed: A firm hand
on the rudder of the nation, and this firm
hand cannot be exercised while there re-
mains the omnipresent threat, insolent and
malign, of the monarchists.

VIZ ASHINGTON, D. c., July 81. -
w Something must be done about
the United States senate. 1t is
not functioning properly. A great many
people have insisted that this is the case
for very long time, but now senators
are becoming critics of themselves and
their own institution.
AS lawmaking factory the senate is en-
titled to an efficiency rating that would
shock production experts. Henry Ford, who
says that the rate Of production Is the most
important factor in industry, would prob
ably have taken the senate apart and put
1t together again as an entirely different
kind OF machine had he been elected a
member when he sought the toga that
Mr. Newberry now wears. That is, pro-
vided he could have found way to in
troduce Ford methods and innovations into
an establishment that seems to have been
organized to prevent just that sort of thing.
Waste motion is the problem the eff
fciency experts tackle first when they I'M
dertake to speed UP a manufacturing plant.
Waste words-or waste wind-seems to
be the principal trouble with the senate.
At any rate senatorial leaders who are sd-
dressing themselves to the question OF
how to dispose OF the legislative program

The Port Terminal

n m EMBERS of the Legislature have been
IVI accommodating valuable information
this week in regard to the plans for
the proposed state-owned port terminal at
Savannah
Maps, blueprints, drawings, statistics and
other data compiled by Mr.. Frederick w.
Cowie, the port engineer, have been on dis
play in the Kimball House since last Monday.
An invitation extended to Legislators and
interested citizens to visit the exhibit and
learn the facts about the project has been &C
cepted with an enthusiasm which augurs we'll
for this momentous project.
Especially have farmer members of the
Legislature manifested keen interest, which
was naturally to be expected. First and fore
most, the project is designed to benefit the
agricultural interests. Georgia cannot cope
with the fundamentally altered conditions of
agricultural production without adequate
facilities for assembling, storing and market
ing the products of her farms. Special at
tention therefore given to agricultural
products, in the design of the terminal.
What others have done, Georgia can do in
developing great gateway of commerce. 1t
is perfectly reasonable to assume that the
revenues derived from the proposed terminal
at Savannah will retro the bonds issued to
build it. louisiana. terminal at New Or
leans has paid it's way, in spite of difficulties
not present at Savannah. Canada's terminal
at Montreal has done the same.
1t will not be necessary to take money
from the treasury to carry through this prof.
ect. The use of the states credit is all it
needs.
