ATTACKS ON WALKER
The Tifton Gazette the other day re
wrinted a statement attributed to
jovernor Walker in which he said
it the dedication of a bridge at Lum
ber City he thought that “The Geor
ria legislature shoulq at least have
given the people of the state the
‘ight to vote on whether they wanted
he bonds and they were officious in
10t doing so."”
The Tfiton editor in a rather harsh
writicism in - which it was clearly
shown that there is a deep-seated
rersonal dislike for Governor Walk
ar, added: “The governor should bhe
the last person to criticise the mem
bers of the general assembly., He
called them together and he ig re
gponsible for what they did or did not
d 0.”” There isn’t a particle of justice
n this assertion. The governor isn't
~esponsible for what the legislature
did or did not do any more than is
he editor of the Gazette,
Governor Walker was committed to
he roaq and school honds., THe was
olain, open and above board on that
!mntter. We did not agree, but we
" know he was honest—and he had
plenty of company out in the state at|
large. !
From the Jackson Progreo:-:'s-Arglls‘
we offer the following significant par
agraph in rebuttal:
“History will write down Governor
Clifford Walker as a bigger man than
iny of his critics have given hhn‘
redit for, He has done a full man’s
part in arousing the people of the‘
State to the importance of going for
vard through a construction program
f better highways and a better edu
cational system. Some of his ertiics
will look mighty small when Georgia
finally takes her rightful place in
the forefront of progress.”
Ang then we want to add this fur
ther comment. Cliff Walker is not
responsible for the peanut politics so
in evidence at the extra session of
the assembly. It was chock full of
candidates who wanted to ge govern
or a whole lot worse than they want
ed Georgia highway paving or school
advancement. They sought political
allignment that would send them on
their way stronger in the race for
governor, for attorney goneral, for—
for every other public office the state
can offer. They gave all their time
to that and let the paving and the
schools go by.
That’s not Governor Walker's fault,
no matter who argues to the contrary.
Nor was it possible for him in his ef
forts to get something definite out of
the session, to overcome this persist
ent clamor for political advantage.
All that bunch has so disgusted the
average citizen with this cheapening
form of political scramble that if it
were possible to do so, the up-stand
ing Georgian who cares would wipe
it all out and send the high-minded
men of honor after the offices that
they might have public servants who
did care something about the paving
and the schools—care first for these
state advantages and then for the po
litical honors.
DOOLY AND BONDS
Dooly county votes tomorrow on a
bond issue of two hundred thousand
for highway pawinp.. The voters are
golng to settle the question in their
own good way, but we hope that they
pass the bonds, They will have all
the time in the world to do what they
please with the bonds in road build
ing after they are passed and validat
od,
Crigp county has a road bond issue
of $350,000 which has been validat
ed and ready for use for four years.
Though we have not spent a dollar
of these bonds to this good hour, we
count it a wise thing that the peo
ple of the county voted them. We
do not know that the people of Dooly
will ever regret it if they pass their
bonds. Dooly has a board of county
commissioners who are good business
men and they will not let the money
go in unwise investments,
Harry Daugherty has been indicted
for alleged graft in the handling of
the affairs of this country when he
‘was entrusted with the office of at
)mrney general of the United States in
the Harding administration. It iz
now a long time since he held office,
and yet he must answer for his alleg
'ed ynlawful acts, He is the second
member of the republican cabinet of
late to go into the drag ‘nct of the law.
Thz public has abundant reason to as
sume that corruption and graft were
fashionable when the republicans
went hack into office. If this busi
ners had come from under cover dur
itz democratic control, well—demo
cratic leaders can, at least, tell the
American public with truth that it
didn't happen, despite the fact that
this country was in its greatest war
while the democrats held office,
. TELEPHONING ETIQUETTE
Philadelphia Record:
The children of today who are just
beginning to go to school will ho
come a generation of pleasant tele
phone talkers, if anything coiars of
the suggestion made in a rojport .
submlft.ed by a subcommittee ol (Le
’Natlonal Education ' Association Com
mission on the Course of Study, which
‘ts headed by Dr. E. C. Brosome, su
perintendent of Philadelphia’s pub
lic schools. In the section on lan
guage and composition prepared by
the subccmmittee a number of sug
gestions for conversation over {the
telephone are laid down, beginning
with elementary instruction as to
clearness of enunciation, deliberate
gpecch and the maintenance of low
tones. Then comes the direction:
“Be congiderate in the use of the
telephone. Avoid calling during meal
times, at extremely late or early
hours, or in heavy business hours; al
so avoid using other people’s phones
often, or too long a time.”
This Is splendid advice, so far as
it goes; but it should go further.
There are numberlzss offenses com
mitted over .lhc telephone that call
for reform, but many of these are
chargeable tc employers-—supposedly
intelligent, big business men—rather
than to employes. Attention was
called in these columns not long ago
to the boorish business man who in
structs his stenographer to “call Mr.
A”; and when Mr. A answers his
phone that gentleman is kept wait
ing with the receiver to his ear un
till the secretary’s employer, Mr. Big
Man, is ready to talk to him,
There is indeed, much need for
postgraduate lessons in telephone
etiquette among men and wemen in
the business world, although women
seldom offend as the men do. It is a
fact, often noted, that women in bus
iness offices have been quick to ap
preciate the value of cultivating a
pleasant manner over the telephone.
An even-tempercd young woman at
the telephone exchange desk of any
corporation is an immensely valuable
.a;sset to that establishment.
The United States supplies four
fifths of China’s cigarettes.

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
A TRIBUTE WELL EARNED |
Atlanta Journal:
A high degree of eatisfaction
with the management of the Geor
gia Cotton Growers’ Cooperative As
sociation is the natural inference to
be drawn from the annual meeting
in Atlanta, at which all the execu--
tive officers, most of them veterans
of four years service, were re-elect
ed without opposition,
The Cotton Assgociation is so coi
stituted as to provide the directest
possible control by its members, The
state is divided into a large number
of districts, not arbitrarily or merely
by the map, but in accordance \vith‘
strength of membership. Each year
each district elects a diregisr, Ziter a
preliminary vote for nominees, These
elective members then join with the
three members chosen to represent
the state at large and the publie, and
elect officers for the ensuing fiscal
year. In this way, any movement of
the management against the wishes
or judgment of the members is sub--
ject to annual referendum and ae
tion,
It is a tribute to President J. E
Conwell and his associated execu
tive. Officers that their four years of
service have given such unanimous
satigfaction. The annual reports indi-
