’RITIISH SERVANT PROBLEM
lGreat Britain’s surplus of women
m‘mlbned with the wunemployment
problem, there being appproximately
300,000 women and girls out of work,
h@s brought about a strange situa
ti? in the servant shortage whgqh
expefts for' months have been en
-1 diavoring to straighten out, Ameriz
| can women living in London say
! that it is more difficult to obtain the
| dorvices of a,cook or housemaid
: :tmn it Is_in most cities of the
i United States,
~ Authorities disagree as to the
i éause of the scarcity, Some con
‘fend that a great many women
i;)ho have been receiving unemploy
ment doles from the government
prefer- to -exist as best they can on a
few shillings a week to working out
Where they are virtually on duty all
ilay long. Their pay here averages
from $l6O to $3OO a year, with board
and rooms, but in many instances
maid servants or genmeral cooks in
large hotiseholds receive a good
‘deal monre than this,
! The London newspapers are filled
‘daily with advertisements for
‘cooks and maids of various kinds,
}many of the housekeepers offering
‘some sort of inducement to- attract
the attention of the eligibles. One of
(those which appeared recently, read:
' “Servant bonus—A $l5 reward will
}-be paid:@:fo' anyone finding a’ really
: reliable Veookgeneral, apply Lady—'’
5 Another advertisement, which ran
for several days, was as follows:
{ “Wunted—A truthful, happy, will
-4 ing girl, trained for general house
’ work—if there is one.’’
lwwolhe government has under con
‘sideration an investigation of the
“system of doles which, it is con
‘ tended in housewives’ circles, should
'be tightened up a bit so that girls
: and women, and men too, would not
be able to draw a regular allowance
| from. the state treasury unless they
- were willing to show documents in
dicating that they had actually
. sought a task of one kind or anoth
er. ? ; i lc!(']
Incidentally it is related that
" twice as-many young women as
“"young men were sent to the over
se%,@qmimons last year under the
w@uspices of the Salvation Army,
which ip the opinion of Commission
er Lamb, is “a matter for congratu
lation in view of the tragic excess
" of females over males in the Brit
ish Isles.”’ 3
PEDESTIRIANS FIRST
The new traffic ordinance recently
made effective here gives pedes
trians the right of way over mo
torists outside of the central traffic
zone. One afoot desiring to cross a
street at any intersection not under
police control is supposed to signal
his desire by holding up his hand to
approaching motorists, whom the
lawobilges to stop until the cross
walk s clear. : '
The pedestrians, however, are held
rigorously to rules, in that they are
prohibited from crossing streets
anywhere except at corners. “Jay
walkers’’ are liable to arrest. In
the downtown congested districts
the foot traffic is required to follow
the police signals and move with ve-
Violators of the ordinance, includ
ing ““jaywalkers,’’ are subfect to a
fine of $5O and a ja.j! sentence for
the first offense; a $lOO fine and
ten days confinement for a second
violation, and for the third trans
gression a fine of $6OO and a six
month jail sentence.
A dozen pedestrians were arrested
the first few weeks of the new law.
Police officials look for more com
plete cooperation when it is realized
that the regulation gaves time =
protects life,
‘ The original draft of the ordinance
[proposed that horse—dmwn; vehicles
he bamished from the congested dis
tricts, but that section was revised
to exclude horses from the down
town streets between hours of 4:30
and 6 p. m.
The ordinance in general has em
braced the recommendations of the
recent n#tfonal conference on
street and highway safety held in
Washington at the request of Sec
tretary Hoover.
THERE lARE TWO SIDES
Tom Loyless honors us with a
thought of us every time he lets go
at the Ku Klux Klap in his column
or two in the Macon ‘felegraph. We
are not fortunate enough to hold the
ropes 8o as to be able to ghut off
the flow of Ku Klux and anti-stuff
which goes on forever. We wish we
did stand at the source of it with
the magic buttop in reach so that we
could touch it and blink the whole
thing. . i
But we want all those who cuss
the Klan to get in behind the other
side of it alike. Clan ne Gael is re
ligious hatred, religious interference.
It really began first and has heen
quite a thing to be dreaded for sev
eral years on the east coast. To be
plain about it, we think that we
would make poor business of it try
ing to Tup a newspaper in New
York City, in Baltimore, in Jersey
City, even in Chicago and some of
the Ohio cities, unless we belongpd
to the Clan ne Gael or were at least
a sympathizer—and we know there
would be no chance to hold ott!ce—-—
not the slightest shadow of .a
chance. We couldn’t even sell a load
of brick to a contractor in New York
unless we belonged.
Please don’t let anybody try to
tell us something to the contrary.
We know this much. And what
hurts us about it, the whole com
temptible, dirty bunch of the
scoundrels belong to the ranks of
the democracy of this country-—our
buddies in politices.
It would mot surprise us to know
that the Klan has been meddling
with Stone Mountain Memorial. If
Gutzon Borglum was a Catholic, well
‘may he complain against the Klan.
Those fellows find about these
things—and then they chase a
Catholic. There is no standing room
ftor Borglum this side of Mason and
‘Dixon’s line in peace. The Klan will
‘be on his trail. And if Borglum were
'a Protestant and Stone Mountain
Memorial were somewhere in the
neighborhood of Getysburg —some
where in the north or the east—he
"would not have enjoyed the mo
toriety which has come to him
even thus far. He would not Thave
blown the first rough marble from
the walls of Stone Mountain. Clan
ne Gael would have seen to it that
{no Protestant hit a lick. Up in the
state of Maine one may find lines
thus taught today—have heen for
some sSeasons.
' Muth of the excesses in religious
intolerance and race hatred which
have been possible have been fanned
into a red glow by publicity. Peo
ple write too much about this stuff.
And we are not going to count it
fair that anybody attack and try to
exterminate the one without the
other. Both are wrong—both are
engaged in the same tactics. One
who continually aim his guns at
one and shields the other, is not
worthy of line of srace DR
newspaper. Whoever does that tries
to hide the truth and fool the publie
and that kind of a writer is mot
worthy of a hearing before the pub
lic. We are not going to countenance
the fellew who WAI BIIE -ty O
bushes and shoot and pop and snap
and spew at the one side of this gil
laheaded monster. If we are going tq
root out rece hatred and religious
intolerance, we must go at the thing
like we would a cancer. A dose of
medicine for the liver will mnot
eliminate it all. The body must go
to the operating table and there the
national cancer must be cut out.
Please do mot abuse the Klan to
us unless you have a mind to . in
clude Clan ne Gael, If you do, we’ll
fairly' and rightly conclude you ' are
partisap-<-you belong—or else some
body kin to you or somebogy {rom
whom you borrow money belongs.
"IN WHOSE HONOER
Savannah News :
There dosen’t scem, to he glory and
money enough to go round in the Stone
Mountain monument -idea. Nearly al
ways, in any great undertaking, selfish
ness bobs up Yet it would seem that if
ever there could be a project conceived
and brought into being without selfish
ness it would be the world’s greatest
monument to a cause which men held
so highly that they gave their lives
freely for it. The Morning News takes
mighty little stock in the theory that
there was feeling against Mr. Borglum,‘
the sculptor, because he is a ‘‘North
erner.’’ The South wanted the best a
vailable talent, and surely if a Chinese
has that best talent, he would be the
man to be hired. The monument to the
men of the South should be a work of
ary, none the less artistic if on a gigan
tic seale. Tf this or that man gets pub
licity and fame out of the conception
and creation of the monument, well and
good—the monument is the thing and
the workmen and artists and fhmncin.li
backers ineidental. The great carving
was to be a monument, not to those
‘who made it paid for it but to men who
isutfered and, by many thousands, died
fon the cause which is the occasion for
‘the monument. Tlf in our memories we
could all get that idea into our heads
and keep it there, we would be far
more wf)rthy. descendants of the men in
whose honor we make memorials.

~ Some people are so narrow and sel
fish in their business methods that they
defeat themselves. They lose sight of
the faet that when they help their

A striking example of the board gen:

issue of the Wiregrass Farmer, of Tut

was paid for by five business houses
of Ashburn, showing c¥ops, aniounts,
kinds, varieties, acres needed, time to
plant, amount of seed per acre neces
sary to grow feed sufficient for one déi

MADE AN APE

The Cordele Dispateh expresses the
thought that the Norfolf, Va., pulpit
who borrower a monkey and secur
‘ed him behind the pulpit to be used as
evidence in his discussion of Darwinan
ism, made an Ape of himself. The Tri

loved and consecrated minister, preach
ing a church dedication sermon, admon
ish the membership of the chureh
against having a ‘“elown” in the pulpit
This Norfolk church not only had a
“‘anonkey’’ but a ‘‘clown’’ in the pul
pit on this notable occasion. Of course
none of his evidence prodneed to them.
