BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
' OBEY AND TEACH—“Take heed
to thyself, and keep thy soul dili
gently, lest thou forget the thinge
which thine eyes have seen, and lest
they depart from thy heart: but
teach them thy sons, and thy sons’
sons.” Deut. 4:9. |
Hail Bobby Jones as the first Amer
fean amateur to win a British open
golf championship. Atlanta will have
to :nn excursions 1o that city when
he ecomes home, 80 all the people can
see Bobby Jones,
Miss Crisp makes her cutest bow
today with a fine car load of this
season’s watermelons in Atlanta.
They were shipped yesterday-—an av
erage of thirty pound melons.
That race for commissioner of ag
riculture—possibly you haven’'t notic
ed ft—ig going to be one of the most
muddlegd up contests Georgia has seen
in many moons, Get down your cross
word puzzle board and start working
it out. How are you going to vote
for commissioner of agriculture.
They are coming bhack from Flor
fda—those Georgia boosters who went
down there anq tried to justify their
move to Florida by knocking Georgia,
We said it some months ago that
Georgians were responsible for the
claim that there are sixty thousand
vacant farms in Georgia. Florida had
all the Georgia liars in the crest of
ker largest boom. They thought when
they left Georgia it would be desert
ed. Wonder what they think about
Georgia now, Understand, we know
that far too many really worth while
Georgians went to Florida because it
was the hope of bettering themselves.
But a large crop of Georgia liars also
went-—angd they are the buddies who
said Gerogia had sixty thousand va
cant farms, Georgia never had any
such thing.
r HOLDER AND HARDMAN
. John Holder's claimg on the voters
of Georgin for governor are not hon
est—not sincere—not what a man
cwith wide-open purpose and unselfish
‘aim should have upon a people to
go up higher. He ought to be turn
ed down in these aims when the pri
mary comes. He isn’t worthy of the
office he is seeking--not a bit of it
We have no fear of ever finding re
proach in our mind about having writ
ten this thing about John Holder.
i He came to bhe chairman of the
highway board for having sought to
turn his friends into the Tom Hard
wick herd—as a sort of reward for
supporting Hardwick for governor,
That wasn't statesmanlike in John
Holder. Tom Hardwick wasn't worthy
yof one single vote that was cast for
John Holder for governor, It was
wrong to trade off his friends to a
man who had been disloyal as Tom
Hardwick had been to his state in
the great crisis of the world war. [t
‘wag wrong for Tom Ilardwicfi to turn
digloyal in Washington at a time when
Wilson and Georgians had trusted
him as they did. It was wrong for
John Holder to try to turn his friends
into the political camp of Tom Hard
wick. It was wrong then — time
hasn't changed it at all,
The office John Holder holds today
came to him as a political reward for
that service. “Tainted” with dis
honesty, disloyalty—a soda-pop serv
ice—we were never surer of anything.
And John Holder has carried it on
‘the low level all the days he has had
it of political trading for support in
the race for governor that he knew
he was going to run, The office he
holds belongs to the people of Geor
gia, The paving of the public high
ways ig a public task--not a favor
that can be granted to a community
through the goodness and kind heart
of John Holder, He has used that
office and its funds in just this man
ner till he can now assume—safely,
he thinks--that he has so befriended
enough Georgia voters with their
own road improvements that he as
their public servant should be sure
of election to the office of governor
when he otfers,
He has gone all over Georgia spot
ting projects and nesting down patch
ed paving till he has come to lhu‘
conclusion that nobody can beat him.
As he went on these errands of pav
ing and claiming support for uover-i
por, he also carried a chip against
Clitf Walker for firing him when the
other members of the highway board
reported discrepancies which shouldf
not have been there—and waste of
road funds till it would hurt even :lj
man without a conscience, (?lin’{
Walker wasn't a criminal for putting
him out—he was doing his dutieg as‘
a public official — and while John
Holder is going out now for vindica-‘
tion, the people should be kind
enough to remember that the fil'flti
court hearing resulted in upholdlngf
the governor in “firing” Holder. The!
governor was, at least in one (-nurt,l
sustitied and held within his rights.
Up in the other—we hate to think it
—up in the other, if justice had been
more uppermost than politics, Holder
might not have been running around
Georgia clamoring for vindication.
Holder got vindication in the courts
if he deserved any, He also got pun
ishment for doing things in his of
fice that ought not to have been done.
He isn't clear of all that--though the
courts did vindicate him in the final
setto, He isn't playing the role of
a broad-minded citizen worthy of
great trust when he goes out for
‘turther vindication at the hands of
the people. That’s not statesmanship.
It is low-vaulted politics—the cheap
soda-pop type of Tom Hardwick who
made Holder chairman of the high
way board when it wasn't as large a
jobh ag it is now.
John Holder has not honored him
gelf as chairman of that board. He
Lhasn't won a just promotion to the
governor's chair. He is a business
failure himself at home and in the
job he holds. He never has been any
thing larger than peanut politics,
That's why Georgia is shot full of that
sort of stuff today. People who go
to the general assembly have to face
it till they are sick and tired.
He isn't sincere in his plea for pav
ing without bonds, He is truly one
of the first men to advocate honds
for paving. He would still be a pro
bond peanut politician if 'he thought
it would be a popular cry. The peo
le of Gerogia want no great hurden
in highway paving bonds- specially
do they rebel against such a program
with John Holder in charge. It might
every dollar of it be spent with the
road machniery people and for four
hour a day employes to keep up the
soft surface waste of five millions a
yvear, There isn't any business back
bone in John Holder. It is all a po
litical anatomy as soft as a jelly fish,
It carries no impression save the last
that being simply a touch. Now,
are we going to endorse John Hold
er's highway work of the past by mak
ing him governor? What have we in
completed highways to approve? How
many counties are waiting on him to
come and say the word? What has
he to offer as worthy of approval?
What sense is there in lifting him by
the boot-straps of peanut politics in
to the governorship there to ham
string everything worthy for the next
four years with his aims and ideals
Have we not suffered enough from
factional ring politics with men in
the center of the clashes who are
really too small to be given such
publie attention! How much more are
we going to let Holder's type of poli
ties cost Georgia—in paved highways
that “aint” and in the services of a
governor who knows no form of un
selfish public service?
Dr. Hardman is one man capable of
taking us out of all this, We are
glad he entered this race. We want
Georgians not to be saying they had
no opportunity to vote for a bhetter
man than a made-to-order peanut pol
itician, We want to he able to say
we tried to point the way to a bhet.
ter public service in the governor's
chair, And above all, we want the
privilege of fighting for a man we
know wholly worthy and capable, The
pride of our public service, if we
render any, is to point without preju
dice, fear or favor, to the man we
tiink best fitted to render the public
a worthy service in office, That fight,
!ll’ we know ourselves, is an unselfish
one, If a candidate tried fo promive
us anything for that service, we
should feel the insult keenly, If we
could accept a promise of rewardq for
such service from any individual, our
readers hight well understand that
our fight is not a sincere one—not
worth anything,
Dr, Hardman is worthy of/the con
fidence Georgians might bestow on
him in the ‘governor’s chair, He i 3
capable of filling that place with
credit and real pride for all Georgi
ans. He is an up-standing business
success, a noble, lofty, large-hearted
champion of high standards in busi
ness and politics, We are for him—
we will be till the end. whatever the
result, It is worth much to he able
to fight for such a man—worth much
more to be able to cast ‘a vote for
him.

In the tight on Tilson Senator Har
ris revealed hissell as surprisingly
strong with the membors of the Unit
ed States senate, regardless of party.
Many of his own fellow Georgians
thought he and Senator George would
fail in their effort to oust Tilson,
but they have thus far proven two
of the most effective public servants
Georgia ever had in Washington.
We should not hoast too soon. The
fight, as we see it, isn’t over, Georgia
senators are not offering anvhody for
the place, but likewise they are not
letting Tilzon of Conneciicut and Til
son of .Atlanta through with the first
bill. Atlanta sneaks among the mem

political town are still trying to name
