New Issue of Stamps to Honor James Oglethorpe, Georgia’s Founder-Savior

Friend of Poor Debtors to Receiv? Tribute Feb. 13. BY MRS. C. O. ROBINSON ON Fob. 13, Georgia will begin a hi-centennial celebration that will continue until Thanksgiving. To Inaugurate fittingly this commemoration, the United States government will issue . a 3-cent purp> stamp, carrying the likeness of General James Edward Oglethorpe, founder of the firs' permanent settlement in Georgia. There has been quite a bit ot sarcastic criticism of the numerous commemorative issues of stamps, but certainly General Oglethorpe and the colony in Georgia deserve a memorial. In 1394. when urging the erection of a monument to General Oglethorpe, an impassioned Georgian orator, witiv typical southern extravagance of speech, said: "•The deliverance of Georgia from the Spaniards is such that it may not be paralleled except by some instances out of the Old Testament. In annals of the English speaking race, thorp is none more deserving of imperishable monument than James Edward Oglethorpe." Founding and maintaining a colony in Georgia was a feat of military skill, Oglethorpe demonstrated his strategic ability when his small army of 600 almost annihilated a Spanish force of 5,000. Nevertheless, the benevolent impulse behind the colonization was of greater importance. The suffering occasioned by the cruel practice of imprisoning for debt was opposed bitterly by Oglethorpe, who persuaded parliament to pass a bill improving prison conditions and freeing many of the debtors. As these people found difficulty in reinsating themselves in society and finding work. Oglethorpe offered to take them to Georgia to found a colony. a a m THE hostile Spaniards in Florida had made colonization in Georgia unsuccessful. Therefore, the English king was delighted to have a man of Oglethorpe’s military attainments, willing to undertake such venture. In 1733, forty debtors and their families came to America under his leadership, and settled on a high plateau, which now is the site of Savannah. Later, a band of persecuted German Moravians found refuge with them, as did John Wesley, destined to be the great Methodist leader. The claim that Oglethorpe’s defeat of the Spaniards preserved America to the English speaking people seems a bit extravagant. In reality, twelve of the thirteen original colonies were flourishing before Oglethorpe established his settlement, in spite of the fact that St. Augustine was and had been under Spanish rule for 168 years. Rather, his great claim to fame lies in his work for humanity. A contemporary said of him, "Every humane and noble cause exercises his heart and head. He is one of the most ennobling characters of whom the annals of the time give an account. Pope wrote of him— One driven bv stmne brnrvolenrr of soul, Shall flv like Oglethorpe from pole to pole. tt a tt SEVERAL poems were written to him by famous men, for it was considered the elegant gesture of that day to dash off a verse at the slightest provocation. Aside from his philanthropic and military exploits. "the noble veteran ever was a favorite with the ladies’’ which seems to complete a perfect character. For the United States to immortalize a man of such caliber is logical and timely. It may be that more boys and girls will remember the .story of the founding of Georgia from the discussion and study occasioned by this stamp than from their textbooks. The government bulletin concerning the issue does not specify which portrait will be used. It merely states, "The central subject of the stamp is a likeness of General Oglethorpe, wearing a coat of armor.’’ The accompanying portrait, in armor. may bo used, but the Detroit News reports that a painting of Oglethorpe recently was discovered in London and purchased for the art department of Oglethorpe university. As it is supposed to be the only oentemporary portrait, possibly it was the one selected. According to the bulletin. "The stamps will be placed on sale at Savannah on Feb. 13. Stamp collectors desiring first day cancellations may send a limited number of addressed covers, not to exceed a total of twenty-five, to the postmaster, Savannah, Ga„ with the cash or postal order to cover exactly the value of the stamps required."

CORDELL HULL LONG FOE OF HIGH TARIFFS Probable State Secretary Concentrates Life on Economic Subjects. (Continued from Page One) federal estate and inheritance tax laws also of 1916. From his earliest days Cordell Hull never has taken a leading part in rough and tumble debate of congress. He is no orator, his gestures are ■ rather more awkward than not, his voice harsh. But both houses pay attention to his addresses. He seldom has burst on to the front pages; he never has thrown | an ink well or raised cain in a prohibition fight, although at the last Chicago Democratic convention he ; decisively was beaten in the liquor plank row by A1 Smith, and an immense majority of the delegates. Some Call Him Dreamer He hasn't figured in a sensational I patronage fight; nor, for that matter, are there familiar laws bearing his name. Not a few of his colleagues regard him as a legislative dreamer dreaming and talking consistently and convincingly about the tariff and taxes that he wants readjusted I along Democratic, and what he thinks are sensible, lines. He is known as a conservative ... a quiet and pleasant, friendly man who has centered his attention on fiscal matters. Hull served from 1921 to 1924 as chairman of the Democratic national committee: he raised money for his party, and he managed that riotous 1924 convention in Madison Square Garden. Since he came to the senate, Senator Hull has been hammering away at the tariff problem. He’s Tennessee's Hero While other Democrats fought for I tax-tariffs on oil and lumber, and i copper and coal in the last revenue bill. Hull unleashed his condemnation of the vote trading that put these imposts in the law. He has devoted long addresses to world economic conditions and the ! effect of tariffs in the present world ! panic conditions. He has demanded time and again international j economic conferences to straighten out world trade barriers. Down in Tennessee Senator Hull I is looked upon as one of the state's ! heroes. His appointment to the Roosevelt ;cabinet would be regarded there as ! reward for loyalty to the President- | elect, and to old Democratic prinl.ciples. The senator, 61. was trained to ! be a lawyer; he once occupied the bench, and some of his friends still call him "Judge”; and he served as a captain of infantry in the Span-ish-American war.

base an opinion. There is a case, of psychological record, of a Louisiana woman who is said to have a clear mental picture cf all the good and bad points of her eleven husbands, while a gentleman of El Paso, Tex., is reported to be unable to remember even the first names of his fourteen wives and now calls them all ‘’Dearie.’’ A statistician would not dare draw conclusions from such limited marital experience records. But these two cases might indicate that women have a more clear cut picture of what they want. 3. Yes. When either member of a marriage union attempts to dissect or appraise the characteristics of the other love is likely to fly out of the window. The prober is more than likely to place wrong values and wrong emphasis on the supposed facts discovered. This is usually because of the prober’s own limitations. There are no perfect personalities in this world, although lovers very properly think so. The best way to preserve this belief is to do as little critical analyzing as possible. The world is simply alive with wonderful personalities when you consider them, not as parts, but as wholes. You probably are married to one.

been presented by Representative Sam Rayburn iD:m . Tex >, cnairman of the house interstate commerce committee. I Rayburn would create a federal communications and power commission and give it jurisdiction over radio, telephone and telegraph communication. and power companies operating on navigable streams of the United States. A more far-reaching measure is being prepared which would give such a commission power to remulate all electric and cas utilities engaged in interstate commerce, oil and natural gas pipe lines crossing str.'e lines, and radio and telephone and telegraph communication. Holding companies would b° brought under the jurisdiction of i such a board by provision for regulation of information or advice sent across state lines on the subject of interstate power transmission. A measure similar to this was introduced by Senator James Couzens i Rep.. Mich. > in 1930. but never seriously was considered in the senate. It gave new and wider investigative powers to the power 1 commission.
