4 HOWARD (S RIGHT !
Pardon this one sally—we want tol
shake the hand of Judge Howard of‘
Columbus for hnvmg'ihe nerve to'
say he is for the road bonds in his
announcement as a prospective can
didate for governor. (}eo'rgla' has
enough of tax burdens, it is true,
but Georgia has a way planned to
take care of the state highway sys
tem withput adding a cent to the tax
burdens, "'._Wo only have to approve
law—and we are for approving .t.
The plan we have worked out is
the result of several years of study.
It largely has to be made in this form
to meet the requirements of the fed
eral government. Georgia has but
one wise course to pursune—that is to
gét ready to use the federal funds. We
“might make plans for three yedrs in
\atead. of thirty and thus call for
about ten mllliops to ?mt(sh the fed-‘
eral ten million fund and . thus do.
away w'th lots of opposition, but woi
are required by the federal laws to
work now on a state wide system and
not on a fractional part.
We nreed not sit down and see oth
er states spend our highway money
from the federal governement—and
yet that is exactly what we will do if
weé follow the pplillcluns in thelr op-
Dosition to the state bond issue. They
want votes and they figure that oppo
{'smon' is more "popular. Shame on
such campaigning for public office!
E Judge Howard knows something of
:the meaning of state provision for the
federal road funds. He knows we
Empst Ary to go forward in the con
lstrucuon of permanent roadg. Others
aknpw it, too. and in.the_ir better judg
.ment, would be ready to say so. The
f,n't’(x;e pond issue takes care of itself.
We are for it.
s "MORE GOOD BARNS 1
The Moultrie Observer is making
a fight for more barns, larger barns,
on the farms of South Georgia.
There is no farming campaign vol'l
more importance. The dairying and
live stock interests will not come to‘
their best without this—and the larg’
er the barn, the greater the returns
from dairying and poultry farming.
It might also be added that every
large barn means well fertilized
farm lands—without a fertilizer bill.
There is not often a large barn on
any farm that does not pay for it
self over and over again in the best
fertilizer that ever went to the mak
fng of the crop.
And the barn in this respect adds
te the yield in corm, cotton, po*a
toes and every other crop. Where
the cattle and the hogs are housed
~where the stock have a good home
~—the farmer has a fertilizer income
that is like a bank savings account.
The waste at the barn is the poul
try success. ‘lt ' means more and
: haaltili_er chickens, more eggs, and
less cost to produce. Every man
who has a good barn can have as
many hens as the piace needs—as
many friers and marketable hens—
as the housekeeper will want for
ber spending money for the cloth
and thread she uses in her spring and
fall qo'!ving;
““The frgmer who studies his busi
STANDING UP FOR GEORGIA,
: Speaking of Senator Tom Wat
gson-—-a bunch of travellng men
' had met at the hotel for the
night, In getting acquainted and
introducing each ‘other pne “of
© the gentlemen, after giving his
name, sald “I'm from Kentucky.”
| “And 1" said another, “am from
i‘ ‘Alabama.” So it went until each
es had given his name and state exy |
~«cept one who, on being asketl"
what state he was from deliber
ately rose to his feet, and putting
his hand back to his hip pocket,
sald, with a cold look in his eye,
“I am from Georgia, but don't
laugh, damn you.'—Carthage'
(Tenn) Courier,
Well, we've got to admit that fel
low meant to enforce respect for his
gtate. It might not have been the
wisest way, but nobody can deny
that was still the effective way,
The thousands of voters who
thought they were doing something
different, something clever, some
thing really necessary in Ge(')rgia
when they voted for Our Tom, have
‘the remorse all to themselves. Many
4 man who voted for this copper
conscienced staatesman would deny
it if cornered today and accused of
it ‘Some of them would spit in your
face and scratch your eyes out.
They are the most disappointed
people in Georgia—~those who vote-i
‘for Our Tom. A man may go a long
way toward draining his pride clear
of his own veins, but he cannot get
entirely rid of it. You will find it
there still if you get Him away and
‘outside the bounds of his state. He
‘may blush and wriggle—and even
'xeu(-h for his gun, but a Georgian will
manage to out with it in_a pinch,
In a. whole generation Georgians
t‘huve not_had quite so much to dash
‘their pride. The whole nation chides
a Georgian. They know Our Tom in
'the heart of “the Rockies, in the alka
’.“ pf the desert—far out in the oceans
"——whcrover the flag floats, If you
are from Georgia, they shoot you
through with a repressed sneer-amf
leave you hanging impaled to dle-—-!
like a king bird does his prey. fi
A CHECK ON NEW LAWS. _
We want a permanent Georgia
\commlsslon consisting of our judges
of the Superiqr courts all over the
’ state to sit on a revision and remov
“al from the statute books of all use
less and unwise laws that have p:ws-1
«'3(l the legislature,
j We want that body of jurists to be
empowered to throw out thé back
'd'oor absolutely and without question
of authority any measure that in its
‘enforcement excites derision and re
sentment of an incensed public. We
‘want them to weigh and discard ev
ery intended law that is foolish in
its incipiency. We want this body
of men to serve as a check on every
'mezlsure that passes. We want every
law to require their approval before
the governor's signature making it
pl\‘e('live is attached, :
“This body of men has more to do
with the satisfactory enforcement of
the laws than any other in the state
and should their approval pe requir
ed before the governor signs them.
we believe the people will be saved
the many foolish pet schemes of leg
islators in different sectjons of the
state. We know this will have a great
deal to do with checking the flow of
limitless measures.
' The average citizen today never
knows when he is violating one of
our many thousands of foolish laws—
he deesn't go very far without it.
Every law ought to command the
highest respect. Qune of the means ofl
ygotti-ng public respect is to stop the
flow of foolish laws. ‘
per writer what a sensible invest
ment js a good barn on any l’arm.’
He wants his large, well built barn.‘
but has many good reasons for not
already having built #. His delay
should not be permitted to cut off
‘the farm income.
An Englishman plans to change the
shape of horns ou cattle by hanging
weights that he has invented on tlwm‘
while they are growing
JUST THINKING ABOUT IT
The DeKalb county grand jury
~ has disapproved of the wet speech
of Judge Powell at Tybee. "So has
the Judge's pastor~—Savananh
l!‘ress. e
And we were just thinking about
that grand jury that disapproved.
How many of them are qualified to
sit in judgment on his case—dov you
suppose all of them could' take him
to task in a real, hard down, honesi
to-goodness prohibition' lectire? If
in their case they could; then that's
an exceptional body of men in moon
shine riden Georgia.
. We are not speaking about the pas
tor. He is expected to be a better
man than the general run<-although
that is all wrong. '
Drinking liquor in a gentlemanly
sort of manner doesn’t solve the
liquor problem. It doesn't save hu
manity from the curse of alcohol. It
only makes the tiger operator more
determined in his activities. And
the gentlemanly consumer does not
fool either the tiger operator or the
public, The moonshine operator
knows—and nearly everybody else
knows,
It is getting about time for the
fellow who does his gentlemanly
drinking to keep his mouth shut ini
times of criticism. 1t is very nearly}
time for him to go into court and‘
tell the judge who draws his name
on a jury that he has no right to sit
in judgment on the other man’s
case. He ought to quit moonshine
liGuor and all other alcoholic drink
which he uses in vlolh‘tlon of law, or
he ought to hunt up the jury revis
ers ahd ask them to leave his name
out of the jury box.
It we want to get rid of the stuff,
lets have a conference with the
moonshiners and tell them we are
ready to quit—and then let’s quif, S 0
they will know it. We might at
least call this an “onest way of 8):
ing at it,
A :
PuBLiC SENTIMENT ¢
I wish to see a public sentiment
S 0 spund and so strongythat no
band of ruffians, blackguards or
brigands would dare to enter a'
jail to take therefrom a pery
lawfully confined therein, or take
the life of a human being with
out authority of law, no matter .
what crime he is (:Ihurged with
or might be guilty of. I have but’
expressed the sentiment of all
right thinking people.
I wish to see a sentiment so
strong that injustice will not be
done, or if done will not be tol- :
erated in court or out of court.
Buch a sentiment and such a sen
timent only will save the State
from interference by an outside
power.—Judge Andrew Cobb,
We can well afford to study the ex-'
pressions of this wise old man. We
give time to reprinting these words
because we believe there is a way
to build up that sentiment of which
he spénks. We believe it is possible
for the great majority of people to
believe as he does about it. If they
did, many of our troubles in mobh rule‘
would be done away. '
As he says, the governmert of this,
‘country is in the hands of the whlt:"
man. This will continue. Anérchy!
will not establish itself, nor will any !
other race assume control. Slnce‘
the white man is in authority and
will remain so, there is a responsi
bility on him because he is in authdr
ity. ‘An injustice dome to anybody,
inside or outside of the courts, be he
‘negro white man, or alien, makes us
unworthy of the power we hold. And
when we are unworthy, we need not
expect all people at all times to look
to us to govern. They will setsup
other farms—mob rule for example.
| Our''highest' duty is to see
justice is done through our agenz:::
for administering justice. Then ‘we
“tan expect public sentiment in fa
rvor of constituted authority to grow.
As for us, \;ve have hope of a stronger
‘sentiment for justice to all persons,
inside and outside our courts. Then
may we expect greater respect for
lthe courts. D \ L ‘\ ‘

~After cach suceessful burglary,
Thompson gaid, he wounld at the first

mate of his or her loss.
‘““Wow! How they cxaggerated’’
said the prigsoner, ‘lt sure did hand
me a laugh to read how they lied
about the amount of stuff they lost.
Why, sometimes it was go unfair it
was ne laughing matter, It used to
make me sad when I read about the
false claims dnd thought of how
much dishonesty there was in the
world.”’
