THE TILSON APPOINTMENT
There isn’'t a thing developlng
since the recess appointment of Til
son as federal judge for the Middle
District that has softened the presi
dent’s carpet-bagger attitude towards:
this section -of Georgia. He pic :
up a man living outside the distri
and named him judge of the court
chiefly for political reasons—because
he was a brother of the Connectlc&
floor leader of ‘thie lower house in
congress-—the republican leader. Then
he withdrew his name from the sen
ate when he counted moses and found
[that Tilscn would vnotA be approved
in the senate, Coolidge did that
lmowing that the law requires him
to make such appoln{ment by and
\with the consent of the senate. He
wasn’t playing like a statesman when
he waited till the congress adjourn
ed and then came around the back:
way and set Tilson on the job in a
recess appointment. That was taking
an unfair advantage—one that big,
talr-mlnded, broad-gauged men do not
take. % :

jtvhe fumes of cheap cheroots and boot
leg liguor and nigger republican poli
‘tlcs. There isn't a son of a Confed
erate veteran we know ' anything
}about in Georgia who wotld ask Ben
Davis for a republican job as judge
or anything else. '
We think the republican party is
poor indeed when it sets up its party
organization in a great, proud state
like {Georgta—a 'white ! man's country
Illke this—with’ a negro in charge—
actually at the head of and directing
rall‘ p@t‘ronuge‘, The .étlanta chamber
of commerce actually gave that negro
ipn fendorsement, for. Tilson, as judge
‘of our federal court in a district over
which the Atlanta chamber of com
mérce nor that negro have a word of
control, politically or otherwise, with
thé people who direct the destinies
of this section. e
All that occurred, too, when there
are self-respecting republicans in thlsl
district who are capable of handling
the judgeship. They are known to be‘
men of competency and character.l
The fact that they are first for al
white man's country bars them from
consideration as public scrvants. They
didn’t go after Ben Davis for approv
al. They didn’t get so much as be
fore breakfast consideration at the

leader who can come into Georgia and
set up a negro party leader and then
require all white office seekers to go

‘had to do.

EDITORS AND HEALTH }
The Third District Editors in l
session at Cordele Saturday step- |
pcd beyond the us_u_al'boqmldry of .'i
discussion, confined more or less '
to details of shop problems, into )
matters of local, county and dis
trict wide concern. Of special in
terest was the presentation of i
facts related to health conditions |
and the needed facilities for elim- |
inating malaria and other pre- l
ventable diseases. It wag gratify-
ing to note the keen desire on the
part of these mewspaper men to
inform themselves upon questions
that have to do with civic pro
gress and betterment, so that
they may go back to-their respec
tive communities and put the, in
fluence of their papers behind
movemep’ts of this kind.—Vienna
. News,
The editors of the Third District
dre in a commendable work. The
campaign against malaria is in all
eality a move to rid south Georglal
of the stigma of unfavorable recordst‘
in the health departments of the
state and tbg federal government.
In an immigration bureau in New
York some southerner not long ago
saw a map of the country—supposed
to be a health map. Below the
Mason and Dixon line the southern
part of the country was painted
black on the map and marked: “Ma
larial conditions — uninhabitable.”
Thig was a Warning to the immigrant.
‘Such conditions as are pa-inted for
the immigrant are being painted for
the population of the castern and
northern sectiong of the country who
desire to ’;comg?..s“oa’xt.;h tor ’in'l_llderpell_-
‘mate and fbetter working and living
cafiffitions NWorswermividd §ieaktors

[mal-lnforv {;'9°§l to'tk%éh’h:{fiéllr’""g‘\J\gn”
population, We are not excited over
‘lmwl.figants['-;lt‘ ls‘hne'tlfiat.‘ ‘We Have
a right_;’ to ‘have the 'truth given 'ag
to health ''conditions “in"our seetion.
We must xe_tllt;e,,;t'he northern ~,.a)m.l,
‘eastern propaganda against our’
‘health. :
To refute it we must have the sta
tistics. -We must keep them and we
‘must (o it in intelligent manner. Then
‘we must do what we can to eliminate
‘malaria where it really prevails. We
have much more of it than most of
us know, or ever try to ascertain.
One thing certain—we are far too
neglectful of the health of the negro.
It is not only the fact.that because
he is ath‘uinan'b‘emg and heir to com
mon ill_uf-f-capable of carrying epidem:
ics as are other people, and more S 0
;bllt the: fect that with an able body
he is worth more to hig community
and state—it is all this that forces
‘us to remind our readers that he
‘must he cared for. His health is
worth much more to his employer
than it.'is generally estimated. It is
wise to screen his home and give
him good water. We at least; try
to give the cattle and the hogs good
water. -We might look after ' that
feature for the negroes.
~ One mosquito may spread malaria
lthrough every negro family in an en-l 1
tire community. Not one but all the
mosquitoes carry the infestation, once
it gets a start. One person bitten
by a malarial mosquito is a malarial
sponge in future for all the mosgui-

toes who come to sip’ of the infected

and then -bite one not infested. This
carries malaria throughout all com
munities where mosquitoes exist.
We are told mosquitoes can be
lwholly climinated. They can be. It
is possible and we must he up and
about it. That's the task of the
editors of the third district thig year
—one of the volunt;ir;" tasks— cam
paigning through the newspapers of
the district to rid the district of ma
laria. o
Here in Crisp we have cntered upon
a campaign for the Elliz Health Law
and an all-time health officer for the
lsame reasons—to rid the county of
;malarla. We are not going to try
further to conceal anything. We are
not going to admit that. we are terri
bly in the bog with our health condi
tions. We are -golné to admit that
any of us who do not try to improve
them are unwiae_ But we wiil bear
favorable comparison with eastern
and northern comm:un]ities away from
the higher altitudes.
But progressive communities fight
malaria—and we must.
