WHO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE*
Macon Telegraph: \
Georgia journalists were justly
proud of Julian Harris of the Co--
lumbus Enquirer-Sun when it war
heralded that that paper had been
awarded the Pulitzer prize for the
most conspicuous service during
1925. Such recognition of his va
liance’ and the daring he hadw exhi
bited in trying to correct defigiencier
in the state was gratifying indeed
It was hoped that the hard sledding
which had been encountered by the
Enquirer-Sun would be quickly over
come and from that day forward i
might have a serene, affluent and
happy existence, brought about by
the distinguished recognition and ap
plause accorded from such high
ups as the Pulitzer board. It was.
hoped, by this newspaper, at least
that the outside recognition and ap
proval would have the effect of ral-1
lying to the support of the Enquirer.

peculiar pride and satisfaction the
‘Pulizer award was noted by thig
paper, i

said as to the way we feel about it
then, it may be proper to say how
we feel about it now! In the June is

Harris did some very effective work
in the recent victory for U. S. entry
on the Harding-Coolidge program
along with the noblest and wisest
American statesmén. The opposition
was headed by Borah and Jim Reed
and the Lodge understudies in con
gress, The measure carried. All that
is wrong with it is the fact that the
measure as passed so handicaps this
country as to make it practically
worthless as a member of the world
court, The trouble is that it backed
in instead of going straight through
the front door to its full duty in put

such disloyal men as Tom Hardwick.

strength, but the voters of Georgia

citizenry would not endorse the judg
jmont; that it was felt that the En
“quirer-Sun under Mr, Harris played
to the gallerics, the outside world*
that he would traduce the state or
slander his city to get publicity from;
the north. In reading the Forum’s i
article, never was there found sc“
much sound basis for a charge. We
should be( and are, proud that the‘
credit went to the Enquirer-Sun of
the thousands of newspapers in the
United States that might have con-‘

it is probably true that Mr. Harris,

exact situation, in Georgia and what

he did it single-handed. Then, like
