DOESN'T AGREE
WITH MIR. CRINER
REPRESENTATIVE OF SCHLEY
COUNTY SAYS GRINER INTER
EST IN SCHOOL CHILDREN is
OVERESTIMATED

Ellaville, Ga, Feb. 9th.
Editor Leader-Enterprise,
Fitzgerald, Ga.
Dear Sir:
see in today's Telegraph where
your Representative, L. L. Griner:
says he favors bond issue for good
roads and schools and that he has al
ways voted in the interest of the
school children. According to the
record Of your Mr.. Griner / think he
overestimates Ito say the least of it,
his interest in the school children of
Georgia. See House journal 1925,
page 613, and you will find there his
vote against State Publication of
School Books. q bill introduced by
myself and which passed the House in
spite of the fight made against it by
the Book Trust but which was killed
in the Senate by the Book Trust:
This bill permitted the children of
Georgia to have the right to purchase
school books under and by the same
plan that the lawyers in Georgia pur-
chase their law books. Space will
not permit full discussion Of the
matter. My bill provided that the
State Board of Education should Sc
cure the texts of school books from
authors on royalty or by purchase
and adopt them and have them print
ed by competitive bids and sold to our
children at cost. Anything wrong
with this? Ontario, Canada, has
adopted this plan and they sell to the
children in Ontario school books at
500 per cent less than is charged by
the Book Trust in Georgia. Just take
one book for example. Our primer
costs each child in Georgia AZ cents.
we have 100000 children using the
primer. The child in Ontario pays
for each primer cents under State
Publication and if you purchase by
wholesale you can secure a reduction
of 20 per cent. Your man Griner
voted to keep our Children in the
clutches of the damnable Book Trust
and that is how he loves every child
i'm Georgia Let the voters send to
the Legislature men that by their acts
show their love for the children OF
Georgia rather than men that profess
SO much and do so little when the OPP.
portunity is offered them so to do

known if the heavens fall.

WHY is CRIME

Eighty per cent of all burglarles
and murders III the United States are
committed by boys and girls under
twenty-five years Of age. Seventy
five per cent Of all persons now in
Jail are under twenty-five. For this
and the revolt OF youth against their
parents, and all law and authority
there is a cause Edward A. Ross,
Professor Of Sociology of Wisconsin
University says that a certain type
Of motion pictures is the cause. There
is another fact which we must face in
this connection. viz: There are
twenty-five million youths in America
under the age Of twenty-five who re-
ceive no religious training. Further,
only in extremely rare cases has any
youthful criminal ever received any
religious training.

most exceptional revelations I have

One of Roach's revelations is that
a revolver of foreign make believed
to have been used in the murder has
been traced in its ownership to a
notorious Canton underworld charac-
ter, who has intimate connections
with other underworld characters
frequently mentioned in the investi-
cations, and still believed to have
participated in the murder plot,
Roach said.
Roach greatly deplored what he
termed the inactivity Of local authorl-
ties in pressing the case, declaring
that if they do not act soon the case
will be a farce He said that Gov.
Donahey had declared he cannot in
tervene unless it is evident to him
that local officials are embroiled in
some malfeasance, such as a liquor
conspiracy.
There will be plenty of evidence
upon which he may act, Roach said
Roach expects to have a case prepared
for the Federal grand jury by Sep

dren at her heels and with the entire
village trailing along, Gertrude went
to the nearby Feuer Lake, where she
splashed and dove about for half an
hour. She then took on Hans Faust

JOHNSON ALLAYS
AL|EN'LAW FEARS
Predicts "NationaI Origins
Amendment Will Not Be
Enforced.
BY the Associated Press.

VANCOUVER, Wash, August IA
Speaking at a Republican rally here
last night, Representative Albert
johnson, chairman Of the immigration
committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives, said he had inside infor-
nation" that made him believe that
the Reed amendment to the johnson
immigration act concerning national
origins will not become effective.
Mr.. Johnson said:
"If the national origins amendment
of Senator Reed to the Johnson i'm
migration. act is going to breed bad
feeling in the United States among
those of German birth and Scandi-
navian ancestry and result in friction
at home, you may rest assured that
it will not be put into effect. The
House committee on immigration Will
find still another way further to regu-
late and restrict immigration on the
selective plan now in force.
THE House committee saw to 1t
that the Senate national origins
amendment had two saving clauses
added to it-one that three designated
cabinet officers must agree to the ma
tional origins statistics; the other that
the President must issue a proclama-
ton and if that is not issued the 2 per
cent restriction on the 1890 census
should not continue. That is what
predict will happen"
