Those who remain busy will not
have much patience with the hard
times speiler. If the shopping pub
lic went pell mell into wild orgies
of spending in the fall only to find
it hard to get through the spring, we
ghould condemn the practice. This
section isn’t in any depression so far
as business is concerned, 'The buy

It will hardly be possible to oust
Vare from his zeat in the senate,
thongh members of that boedy who
are contesting it are worthy of the
greatest commeydation for their ro
fusal to accept the graft and corrup
ticn which marked Vare's election in
Pennsylvanin, Statesmen who care
about honest elections and govern
ment free from ' corrupt influences
should turn their backe upon any
member of the senate who comes the
way Vare came— with a downright
purchase of his place at a cost of
hundreds of thousands of dollars,
This section has some independent
farming forces in it. This class
owns one, two, and three-horse farms.
It makes a living, It does more than
that—it pays as it goes and lives at
home., Usually these families enjoy
what comforts and conveniences that
are to be had on the farms, There
would be a much greater element of
that class among us if we had good
rural schools and more in(luslr{os
here among us. The old tenant sys
tem is a losing proposition. The man
with his many acres here better ad
vocate consolidated schools ang such
rural advantages as will induce more
intelligent, desirable farming classes
to come in and take the lands and
operate. We are going in the right
direction to have the industries.
BLAMING POLITICS |
Editor Shope of Dalton is dis- |
gusted with the peanut politicians
and expresses himself thus:
“North Carolipa has more than
5,000 miles of paved roads. (.091 :
gia has less than 500. North Caro
lina has no advalorenf'{ax.’ Géor
gia taxes everything in sight, and
a lot that isn't. Gcou’;i'u‘vi’an"t to,
blame. It's the durned politici
ans.”—Calhoun Times.
It is stylish in Georgia to charge
@]l our public short comings to poli
tice—and stop at that. Cheap poli
tics is at the root of our troubles—
our lack of progress. There isn't
much doubt about that.
But somebody sometime must make
the move which roots out cheap poli
tics. Whoever does that will do this
state quite a great service. It would
be easy now — comparatively easy.
The assembly will be the center of
political activity next year, It will
be possible for the politicians to dom
tnate that body unless there is a
determined effort to cleanout with
cheap politics. i they control, Geor
gia “will rock along, as in the past,
the victim of cheap politics and whol
ly without progress.
As we have studied the thing
through, we are ready to conclude
that it would be easier for real pro
gress to be made in Georgia than in
some of the sister states which are
go far outstripping us. We cannot
understand why Ceorgia might not do
better than North Carolina, We do
pot understand why North Carolinn
is doing so much more than Geor
gia—that is, if we were free from
peanut politics, If we put the pro.
gressive fellows after the peanut poli
tics, they can root out this ecancer,
It must go before we can build and
grow—have highways, schools, and
industries,
We have gone through a right
stormy political campaign in which
we had much to say about a busi
ness administration—but that type of
administration cannot be had while
the legislature fritters away its Hmn‘
on peanut politics, Let's go after the
coming session hammer and t.ongu@
and rid it of polities, ’ i

an attempt to nominate Governor

going to he a stubborn Dbattle
within the party if this progran
is carried out. llf Smith is nom

j!:uvc been regretful ever since we
saw religion made the basis of any
Tpolltlcnl activity anywhere in this
‘country—but it is the basis of a pow
crful war now raging. A great Cath
?olic element is 'seeking to put Al
Smith into the presidency. Another
‘more powerful element is marshalling
jit,s forces—already has its forces ar
rayed—to down every Catholic in
‘rluence. There we are, and you may
take your choice, it
This war is a greater struggle than
that which can be staged by any two
political parties in this country. Na-
Llongl politics, so far as _"_9,ll'.‘; two
great parties are concerncd, in a gon
aral way, gets easy pul:lfrfiii_\' i many
directions. But there is this religious
feature, deep-rooted, sovipping and
threatening., which does not goy much
publicity. The public d«'n‘,n‘t.ln:-n\/i
the real strength of this struggle bv’i
cause most of it never gets to the
public. . l
We can add this prophecy: If Al
Smith ig ever offered as the nominee
of the democracy of this country,
there will be no more democratic
party. He will be the nomince of
the Catholics, but not of the protes
tant clement-—and this thing is fast
shaping itself net into a republican
and a democratic struggle—bhut into
v Catholic and anti-Catholle contest.
We do not believe A] Smith will be
nominated. but if he doesn’t the uu-l
,fional ‘tlckut will not get the Cath
”oli‘g ecast—it usually doesn’t get that
;&’f‘i'y way.
IAL Smith is a wonderful man in
the . Catholic east. He is a clean
xhun. a great leader, and dependable
in his policies of public progress in
a great state. He holds views with
regard to the liguor traffic which
hars him in the rest of the country.
But the wet Cathelic ecast always
does itself a great political favor
when it elects him as governor of
New York. He is worthy the honor
—in the Catholic ecast.
But there are many millions of peo
ple who will challenge any effort (o
make him national leader of the
democracy. There will be many more
who will repudiate him at the ballot
hox if he is offered. Protestant
America holds that the protestant re
ligion is the genius of this govern
ment. We think it is—ought to re
main so, Just the other day a group
of American Baptists asked Queen
Marie for an audience with regard to
the welfare of Baptists in Roumania,
Those poor devoted protestants are
said to be beaten with sticks in that
country if they even raise a hymn.
Their religion is restricted and
abused in Rumania till religions {ree
dom is unknown. In Spain—in France
protestants are not allowed to put
'{ho sign on their church doors. Cath.
olicism there has put its heel hard
upon thote who dare bhelieve in any
thing but Cathelicism,
Protestant America is a fine coun
try because it believes in religious
freedom—but it ought to send every
Spaniard—every TFrench Catholic —
every Rumanian Catholic— back to
the shores of his native country and
deny the slightest religious activity
here until those countries asgure the
’protuslants under their flags religious
freedom, Free America should nev
er fall under Catholic rule—if it does
~if It does—there can never agcin

that's what the votes of those who

The county ought to be imme
diately ‘placed under marital law,
the murderers arrested and carried
to the Cook county jail, to be
speedily tried and convieted and exe
cuted in that county.
In the meantime the governor
should demand the cvacuation of the
county—with the state troops to
execule the order—by cvery gang
ster of every political faction, and
of all the kin of the gangsters, and
their perzonal associates.
Williameon county, of which Her
rin ¢ the notorious war center, is
a reflection upon our civilization.
It is a black spot on the map of a
great and prosperous state,
The gituation ean be handled, but
the better citizens of the county arve
evidently powerless to do so. The
terrorizing spirit has existed so long
with feud animositics growing in
strength and broadening in territory
that the local pcopie who really want
law and order are naturally intim
idated.
The governor should handle the
situation and without gloves.
