BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
' HOLINESS—*I am the Lord your
God * * * Sanctify yourselves, and
ye shall be holy; for I am holy.” Lev,
11:44.
Dr. M. L. Britain told the alumni of
the University of Georgia what is|
wrong with the university system in
Georgia Wn he compared the Geor
gia institation to a great cauliflower
putting forth a new growth here and
another there all over the state. The
state university is the victim of a po
litical regime that is blighting its
whole usefulness. It cannot have too
many branghes and exist as a strong
institution. .We are thankful for one
great educator in Georgia who has the
courage to stand up and tell men the
truth about the university system.
The newspaper man with an editor
ial policy in Georgia which aims at
the best for the state must fing him
welf in a great tangle of issues and
pfoblema which completely put hlm}
at sea as to g)‘l'at course to puruse
with regfi) the various candidates
asking fop the office of governor. Is
there a lmspu.p.r that can pick the
best manfor the jobs=pick him from

to see th§ question answered by some
one who g\is the state's best interests

» A PIFRSONAL QUESTION
3 Boya.iino_w‘homtly, did the Cu
ban government spend only thirty
thousanil dollars for liquid re
(reshmqjlts to entertain the Geor- |
gia editors or was that for the in
cidentals? —Times Enterprise.
We consider this question a per
sonal ong for all the 170 Georgia
newspaper people who went to Cuba
and enjoyed the greatest entertain
ment possible at the hands of really
fine people in that little island. The
liquid rlreshmems were abundant
and, as we are able to judge, the fin
est possibfle to have.
But th({ hospitality in many, many
other forms was so wholehearteq that
we must add thesg jp recounting our
pleasures,.¢ost-or-no-eost. Georgians
ropresenurng the newspapers of this
state, in our day at least, have never
bad so much lavished upon them in
entertain.rhem. attention and unselfish
interest in their welfare,
JULIAN HARRIS HONORED
’ There isn't a Georgian for whom
we care more when it comes to ap
preciation of an honor conferred than
Julian Harris, editor of the Columbus
Enquirer Sun. He is frank and sin
cere in what he writes and fearless
in expression. The business office of
his splendid newspaper doesn't seem
to interfere with his course and poli
cy and he fights as he sees it for
what he thinks is real principle. Any
person following his page day after
day and failing to see that is dense
indeed,
But Julian Harris fights bigotry
with bigotry. He doesn’t see that, of
course. To have won the Pulitzer
prize for fighting the Klan isn't an
honor, Julian Harris thinks the Klan
Is the greatest evil in this country,
bat it jsn't, The thing against which
the Klan is pitted is a greater evil—
the Clan Ne Gael. He doesn’t see that
slde of the baneful religious hatred
which is rankling not alone in thi:
country now, hut over the wide world,
wherever Romanism has laid s
blighting hand and influence.
We are not for the Klan—not for
Clan Ne Gael. Both are wro:g. But
from Rome comes a persistent tend
ency, ages old, to take hLold «f the
government—to put the church in
charge of state affairs, We have hut
to mention the national demwecratic
convention in New York in 1924. We
have but to offer Mussolini's regime
in Italy today-—his fight on Free Ma
sonry. We have but to point to the
clash between the Roman priests and
archbishops in Mexico with the gov
ernment over the schools in that coun
try. They are seeking to dominate
both the religious ang the political
life of Mexico through the parochial
schools in Mexico and the government
is now in a serious clash with them.
We have but to mention the battle—
undercurrent of deep bitterness in
Cuba between Free Masonry and the
Roman church in that litt'e republic.
‘The struggle is strong and determin
ed. Free Masonry imagines that it is
today battling to retain the republi
can form of government in Cuba and
it looks as though that is a real bat
tle—a real issue. All the time it is
a question of whether Rome shall rule
or whether the republic of Cuba shall
stand independent.
Julian Harris is fearless and cour
ageous in his fight, but he doesn’t see
that-—and here we speak with courage
}and conviction when we say he lends
himself to bigotry as truly and as
surely as does the man who fights
the Klan fight. We must tell Julian
Harris that since he lends himself tol
the one side of a religious issue that
is making itself a cancer eating at
the vitals of government wherever
civilization flieg its flag, he fails. We‘
cannot qualify this statement, though
we join his many friends in congrat
ulating him because he wins the Pulit
zer prize.
We do not think those who made
the award on his anti-Klan policies
take into account that there is an.
other side, insidious in its promulga
tion of bigotry and religious hatred—
another side far more dangerous to
our republican institutions than the
Klan. We want Julian Harris to
know that we think the protestant re
ligion has been the genius of the
American republican form of govern
ment, that it is today the mother of
the greatest government that ever set
its stars in the firmament of human
liberty and freedom. We want him
to know—and we want Clan Ne Gael
to know—that we believe in separa
tion of church and state—that we
would do all we are worth to retain
that separation because we do not
forget the price which was paig for
that treasure by men who gave their
lives for it through the centuries.
There is modern encroachment on
these human liberties—encroach
‘ments fostered and kept afire by those
;who would set Rome over all the
governments. We say that without
undue alarm-—just to remind our new
ly honored Georgia fellow in the ranks
that there is another side—one which
somebody must resist with courage
and sincere devotion. It is wrong—
dangerous a thousand times more
than the Klan. And Julian Harris has
never seemed to see that danger.
Let's come back to the original prop
osition that we may not be misunder-
stood. Both Klan and Clan Ne Gael
are wrong. No religious interference
with state affairs ought to be tolerat.
ed in this land of the free. And the
editor with courage and broad out
look must not challenge the one and
forget the other, the Pulitzer award
to the contrary notwithstanding,
FOCR THE BOYS AND GIRLS
The Seahoard Air Line Railway, up
on the authority of Mr. 8. Davies War
field, president and chairman of the
Board, hag announced the establish
‘ment in each state traversed by its
lines of a valuable prize to he award
i‘f“ in connection with the boys and
girls agricultural club work.
Under the auspices of the U, 8. De
partment of Agriculture and the var
fous state colleges of agriculture, club
work among farm boys and girls is
being most efficiently conducted in
the territory traversed by the Sea
board Air Line. The Seaboard wishes
to encourage this work along its line
and has established one prize each in
Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro
lina, Georgia, Alabama anqd Florida to
‘be awarded the most outstanding boy
or girl club worker from any county
gerved by the lines of this railroad.
This prize will consist of a trip chap
eroned by a Seaboard representative
and his wife to Chicago at and during
the holding theré of the Internation
al Live Stock Eifgoqitldn. These priz
as will be awarded through the recog
nized agricultural club work of each
of the above mamed states upon de
tails to be worked out and adminis
tered through the Development De
partment of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway at Savannah, Georgia.
HITTING OUR ROADS
Those in authority who have charge
of the roads along the highway be
tween Perry and Unadilla would do
well to visit Florida and learn a les
son about the right kind of roads. The
roads there are a delight, being paved
nearly everywhere. The traveler is
mot lltgrally shaken to pieces with
bumps ‘;aud gullies, but feels comfort
able after an all day drive. It is no
wonder the Floridian speaks sarcastic
n]ly in reference to Georgia roads.
Any one traveling from Perry to
Unadilla will feel that as an act of
charlt'y! to poor fellow mortals, these
roads should be worked. There are
many Lhings in which the Floridians
would do well to copy thn Georgian,
but as to roads, the Georgian would
do wei‘l to go to Klorida ang emulate
the exfi;mple of the Florida people.
: SAVING AT BOTH ENDS
Savannah BMorning News:
That farming is being reduced to
a business science in South Georgia
and the more steadily since the
World War and the subsequent pe
riod of labor shortage, is evidenced
by many facts of daily record and
report. Crisp county supplies one ot
the latest bits of evidence that in its
“evolution” there is something like a
quiet “revolution” of methods in ag

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
biggest-half end of Georgia. Farm
ers around Cordele, according to the‘
Dispatch of that town, ure doing a
logical thing in attempting this year,
to save at both ends of the busincss'
—to reduce cost and increase vol--'
ume and quality of production at the
same time, It can be done. A para
graph from the county paper hinte
the way: ,
Crisp county is fast taking a
lead as one of the state’s lead
ing agricultural counties. Only
last year one of her farmers
produced eight bales of cotton
on five acres of land, thus lead
ing the state. She was the first
county in the state to have ]
twenty adult farmers enrolled
in a five acre cotton contest. ¥
With a population of over 10,-
000 bales of cotton on a little
over 20,000 acres of land further
shows that cotton can be pro
duced here economically.
Here is another outstanding
accomplishment that she has
made this year. According to
records gotten together by coun
ty agent J. K. Luck there has

been sold, delivered and are
now in use 200 riding culti
vators in this county, These cul
tivators with one man and two
mules have been doing the same
amount of work and just as good
work as has four men and four
mules have been doing in the
past. This forward movement
by these farmers will enable
them to do faster and better
work. This is one step that will
help the farmers to produce
cotton cheaper by lowering the
labor cost per acre. Crisp county
is trying to produce more cot
ton per acre with a lower labor
cost per acre, thus producing
cotton cheaper per pound.
The problem is simple—as simple
in theoretical salution as it is dif
ficult to practcial settlement. If it
could be that the same labor would
produce more stuff in a season
there would be gain; if the same
labor could make more stuff on few
er acres, there would be another
gain; if a smaller labor force would
produce more stuff of a better
quality and heretofore of higher

BASEBALL TIME, BOYS!
‘;&merlcus Times Recorder:
Did you say it was spring? Well,
how da you know? The robin is a no-‘
toriously false prophet, and the vio
let can be lured forth with promises
that are never kept. 1
We know a man who changes to
long underwear on Thanksgiving and
to short one on Easter Sunday—and
he lives in a city where the weather
is as unreliable as a man describing
his radio set. Beautiful though his
faith is, it is misleading. - e
ißut there is a herald of spring that
is more unerring than the calendar
and less deceiving than the birds—
and it is baseball. Opening day—
when the very world seemg,to resound
with the thump in the catcher’s mitt,
!'and the crack of the ash against a
gpeeding ball, and the hysterical roar
ltrom the stands—that day is the be-
tobaccos — cured and mellowed
by men long experienced in the art.
But it’s Camels’ exclusive blend
that brings out the real fragrant
goodness of fine tobaccos. And no
tiring of your appetite however
liberally you smoke. And never
any cigaretty after-taste!
Just every good feature of a good
cigarette. “Have a Camel!” is the
most welcome smoke invitation

HIGHWAYS AND POLITICS ‘

“The Cordele Dispatch is right in

ing paragraph from the Cordele pa
per: “We are regretful that the high
way officials did not take hold of
and encourage a sensible reorganiza
tion of the Georgia state highway de
partment. Much good service could
have been rendered in this manner,
We must have this department out of
our politics. - Might as well go to
plannlig-it—and the politicians are
not going to give it up if they can
avoid doing so. We expect progres
