BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
SEEING GOD'S ACTS—“Your
eyes have scen all the great acts ot
the Lord which He did,” Deut. 11:
7. : e
" THE “LITTLE PRESIDENT
ne Reports from Washington indi
cate that when the U, 8. senate
gets a whack at the Tilson ap
pointment it will be rejected. The
little president needs to be re
buked more than any one else.
—Valdosta Times,
The “little” president is right. He
has engafed himself in the old, des
picable carpet bag practices. He has
selected u judge who would never
bave been ‘thought of as a man to be
named in the middle district but for
the fact that he is the brother of
a Connecfjéfit representative who is
floor leader in the lower house for
the repubfipan party. He has to take
his bag ag‘_{l baggage and move to the
district—and the people within the
district wéjfio live in a democratic
country whieh has a mighty fine way
of letting the people voice their own
will about their public servants, have
had no uai""éé. They are eutitled to
a man who resides in the district.
There are capable men residing there
—at least two of them eminently
more fitted for the service than the
man who has been given orders to
get up ang;»' move into the district.
Here mfi Georgia republican ap
pointments are shoved under the nose
of a stln@ng Atlanta negro named
Ben Davig; the same kind of mel
lowed andiinellowlng negro woman in
Savannah ;:@ thing in Millen, Georgia,
who calls himself a white man named
A. 8. Anderson; another of the same
breed knofin to Georgiang as Roscoe
Pickeit; afid.- another still of this sort
of breed who sails under the name of
Louis Crawford, of Dalton. These
five, negrq'man. negro woman, three
who call themselves white men, make
up the *“black and tan” control of
republican' politics in Georgia,
The self respecting republicans to
whom we referred in saying the dis
trict already holds more eminently
qualified men than Coolidge's ap
pointee, would not go after this ag
gregation for endorsement for the
judge’s place. And Dbecause they
would not, neither of them could have
the appointment. Neither of them
could ever have & ghost of a show for
the place, So long as u‘ley have to}
take the uell of a ram goat on an
application for the office, we cannot
blame them. They are self-respoct-(
ing white men-—much larger in our
estimation than ever before—and so
\long as they remain that kind, theyi
are not goiflg to ask a negro boss
of republicam partonage in a whi‘te‘
man's countfy for any such job. There‘
are some principles that run deeper
than any appointment to office thutl
“little” Pregdent Coolidge will ever
be able to n?ake. I
Listen what a noble defense of the
Tilson appolfitment this negro boss
of republican patronage in Georgia
makes in his Atlanta Independent, un
der the spell of Coolidge approval of
“black-and-tan” control of federal po
litical office in Georgia. Ben Davis
. Writes:
“In the .Tilson case, the voice of
the President is the voice of the peo
ple, and no combination of minority
parties or individuals is justifieq in
. blocking their will. The Constitution
3"'~\p_rovidea that the President may make
. certain appéintments with- the.advice
:nd'eonimgot the senate, but it does
ject the president’s appointments for
personal or partisan reasons, A re
jection of a presidential nominatien
by the senate ig equivalent to a sen
ate nomination, and the constitution
does not clothe the senate with any
such‘,power, neither dig the framers
of the constitution contemplate any
such a contingency.”
DOWN WITH MALARIA
Please don’t assume that there
will not be an abundance of ma
laria apparent around the place
when you permit the mosquitoes
to thrive, No more dmportant
thing in connection with good
health is possible to mention than
the fight on the mosquito, If you
do not know how to eradicate
this dangerous pest, find out—and
go after him with all possible
determination, Good health de
pends on it~~Cordele Dispatch.
A comimunity that is malaria
ridden now is a community that
is eriminully careless. Science
has shown how to keep malaria
down and if the advice of science
is not taken by a community, it
is the community’s fault.—Savan
nah Press.
The fight on the mosquito is a
‘most important matter 'which con
icerns good health here and every
‘where. We are assured that precau-
Itlona around the place against leav
‘lng standing water should constantly
be on our minds. Then those places
lwhlch cannot be drained should have
oil on them so mosquitoes will not
breed there.
Heéretofore we have mot given the
mosquito the space which we should
have given it., We have just begun
to learn that it is really important.
There are no more mosquitoes than
we have had heretofore, but the
trouble is, we should have had none.
We can have no excuse for allowing
them to sap the health of an entire
pection when they can be eradicated
and malaria stamped out,
< We are counting ongindustries here
before long. To have the health
great industries will need to give
man power working hours, we must
be rid of malaria, That involves a
fight. We must give more time to
the business of ridding the community
of mosquitoes,
THEY CANNOT DO IT
Now there is a 4 movement on
foot to change our national songs.
Of course, you understand where
this originated. There is an or
ganization in thig country which
is trying to tear down every
American ideal, to make fun of
American heroes and cast slurs up
on the names of our great men
of the past, with the idea of set
ting up in America a new govern
ment direeted from. southern Eu
rope, This organization was the
inspiration for the recent attacks
upon the early life of Washing
ton, the Constitution, and every
thing else that real loyal Ameri
cans hold sacred and dear.—Tift
on Gazette,
But the pretty part about 'it is—
'lhe,v cannot do it. We are not going
to be ;ov+ -1 from Southern Europe
}—- from Rome, "+ up around Boato?n‘
stinnge {rinvitisus have taken ' place,
The religion that dominateq the'pion

~ The ideals of, the people who found

are full of people who have never

We have heard from other shores of
a new form of government long
enough to understand that this one—
one that pays Rome no heed-—is all
wrong. We see the cencerous results
in Mexico—where the effort rom
Rome to run the political affairs of
the nation has thrown the people in
to great rovolt. Now the howl is
persecution——and we doubt not that
there is persecution. But wh‘o< can

STRONG FOR GEORGE
We have more evidence of almost
unanimous newspaper suport of Sen
ator Walter George in his race for
return to the United States senate
as the days go by. If that kind of
support should mean anything, then
he ought to have'little trouble in go
ing back to the senate. ‘
That he is eminently worthy there
can be no questioning, if we are to
yermit thp newspapers to decide.
They are for him almost solidly,
Many good things are bejng said
and printed and 1t is a case of Geor
gia newspapers heartily and gladiy
in the battle and doing a service that
is prompted solely because of their
pride in keeping a worth while man
in the place. Almost every expres
sion seems to indicate that Georgie
has real cause to be happy over the
services the people are getting from
Senator George. They want that
continued.
~ We gather the following from 2
recent editorial expression in the
Savannah Morning News:— |
“There is plenty of evidence, gath
ered from editorial expressions ir
Georgia weekly newspapers, and dai
ly papers, too, that Senator George
has the support. of the thinking
reople of Georgia in his candidacy
for reelection to the Senate. No
body seems to understand why R. D
Russell thniks Senator George should
be replaced by a man who is by nc
means the Senator’s equal in ability
The truth is that if Mr, Russell goes
to the Senate, he will be a small po
tato; on the other hand Senator
George is about at the top of the
heap. Geotgia should care nothing
about the personal ambitions of any
man, but should care a lot about get
ting the véry best sort of men to rep
resent her and lcok after her inter
ests.
“When Georgia sends a man te
the Senate, the rest of the senators
size him up ‘mighty quickly; he can
not camouflage there., His menta!
weight is accurately measured
Handshaking and\ claiming to be
“best friend so-and-so ever had” gets
him nowhere. And if Mr. Russel’
should go to the Senate he would
be ticketed promptly, and semitorf
would wonder what’s the matter
with Georgia, that it recalled a mun
who was getting results for beorg!a
and standing high in the Senate, in
order to put in a man of less abil
ity. Senator George's presence Ir
the Senate is an asset to Georgia
there is very grave doubt that Mr
Russell’s presence there would be#
THE ‘COURTESY OF THE ROAD
“The driving is like the driving
of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he
driveth fu\r:ous:y‘" II Kings 9:20
The reason why Jehu' was driving
so furiously into Jezreel hass noth
| ing to do with this meditation. The
thing that arests our attention it
that he wase coming down the road
very recklessly. And not only that
he was an habitual speeder. Hrl
was known all the country round!
as a hard driver, so much that when
a watchman on the tower saw him
in the far distance—too far away
to be recognized by personal appear
ance—he knew him by his reckless
driving: “The driving is like ta
driving of, Jehu the son of Nimshi;
for he driveth furiously.” This
quaint reference to Jehu's disting
uishing fault has, for all its quaint
ness, a most modern sound.
The advent of the automobile
lius brought many comports and ad
vantages to us who live in these lat
ter days. In one respect, however
it has not enriched our lives. Ob
sessed with a mania for ‘speed, we
have &ecome increasingly disregard.

Jehu is another word for road-hog
Being behind a windshield and

of Christian courtesy. If we will
