SENATOR RUSSELL
LAUDS NEW DEAL
GEORGIA SOLON SCORES (HIT-
ICS OF ROOSEVELT AND SAYS
O L I) DEAL PERMANENTLY
PASSED.
Atlanta, Nov. 16.—Stating that the
.American people have laid the “old
deal" aside permanently, Senator
Richard B. Russell, Jr., predicted that
the next congress will enact further
permanent legislation to support
President Roosevelt’s social security
program.
Speaking in the Emory university
auditorium at a meeting sponsored by
the Emory Political and Science cluD
the junior Georgia senator expressed
confidence that congress will legis
late old-age pensions, and unemploy
ment insurance in some form,
“It is the duty of the government
to protect the citizens who have la
bored faithfully, support families,
and througn misfortune lost employ
ment at the stage in life when they
find it impossible to get new jobs,"
he said, adding, “even our civil serv
ice places age limitations upon appli
cants.
The greatest problem, he asserted,
is the reduction of unemployment,
‘‘and new steps will be taken to re
lieve that situation. After Dec. 1
there will be r.o more direct relief
from the federal government.”
Senator Russell dismissed with few'
words critics of the president’s pro
gram and was applauded frequently
as he discussed features of the New
Deal.
“There is no longer any question
about turning back to the old order
of things the ‘old deal’,” he declared.
“Results of the recent election indi
cate that the people are demanding
that the wealth and resources of the
nation be thrown into the fight for
social security in times of need just
as they were utilized in the World
war.
“The American people have seen
enough of the order when the com
mon people faced starvation in a
land of plenty, while a favored few
enjoyed the benefits of wealth.”
The senator pointed out that some
critics of the new deal have referred
to it as revolutionary, “evidently
placing a diabolical interpretation up
on the word ‘revolutionary.’
“Our nation came into being thru
the efforts of another great man. to
whom the word revolutionary meant
peace, freedom and happiness That
.man was George Washington, who is
held somewhat in esteem even to this
day.”
’ -He dealt humorously in his dis
cussion of criticism, and referring to
the complaint that the Roosevelt acts
are unconstitutional, he quoted Sena
tor Borah, Republican, who he said
remarked decently that “the people
found out they couldn’t eut the con
stitution.”
“It is easy to criticise the new
deal,” Senator Rutt^tl said in clos
ing. “It is rot complete, and some
phases are bound to fall. But it is
better to praise the beneficial actions
to stand by those who have made ef-
{'"■ ; "c.- others had stood by inac
tive before a helpless people ar.d
said ‘we can't do it because it’s never
be»n t’jrc before..”
Senator Russell was introduced by
managing editor of
the Atlanta Journal. Dr. Cullen B.
Gosnell presided. Dr. H. W. Cox,
president of Emory, and W. E. Good
year, studer.t of the club, also were
on the apeahffirs stand.
2 DAYS ENfPGH! PATROLMAN
QUITS AFTER BRIEF PERIOD
Americus, Ga., Nov. 17.—Exactly
two da\s was sufficient to convince
“Bill” Parsons, Americus man, that a
policeman’s job wasn’t intended for
him.
Wnen Officer Parrish left the force
at Ameri-us last week, Parsons #(as
chosen by Chief Worthy and the po
lice committee of council to fill- fits
place. Parsons, who has long been
employed as an outside salesman.
paired with Officer Pickett and
given a beat in the business district.
Two days he paced this beat and
acknowledged the congratulations of
frirnds who nrr,phesied he would
make a good officer. But something
about the job failed to “click” with
Parsons, and Wednesday he turned in
his resignation and a pistol that had
been loaned him by Chief Worthy.
A head long dive through a second
floor window of the building occu
pied by J Regenstein Company in
Atlanta Saturday evening, probably
will result in the death of an un
identified negro, discovered burglar-
ixing the store.
Bill To Abolish Ga.
Gen’l Assembly And
New Setup Planned
Atlanta, Nov. 16.—A bill to abolish
the Georgia general assembly and
substitute a unicameral legislature of
53 members will be introduced at the
next session by representative Stone
wall Dyer, of Coweta county, the leg
islator announced in Atlanta Friday.
Dyer said he would also introduce
bills providing for serilization of the
mentally unfit, degenerate and ha
bitual criminals requiring motorists
to obtain licenses and preventing cor.
porations such as trust companies
from practicing law.
The single chamber legislature
proposed by Dyer is similar to the
one adopted in Nebraska upon the
suggestion of Sen. G. W. Norris.
There would be one representative
from every three counties and the
body would be presided over by a
lieutenant governor. Members would
be paid a flat salary of $2,000 for a
single session.
Adoption of the sterilization bill,
Dyer said, would eliminate propaga
tion among degenerates, insane per
sons ami habitual criminals and thus
reduce the crime rate and relieve
crowding of asylums.
Establish Public Whipping Posts
Atlanta, Nov. 16.—Establishment
whipping posts in all Georgia coun
ties for flogging of minor law break
ers will be provided in a bill to be
introduced in the general assembly
by E. G. Amall, speaker pro-tem of
the lower house, Amall announced
Friday.
If adopted, Arnall said, the bill will
provide for public whipping of per
petrators of misdemeanors who under
present laws usually serve sentences
of from 30 to 90 days on the . chain
tfang.
The whippings would be held in
the court house squares of the vari
ous county seats with the sheriff
wielding the lash. The number of
lashes would be determined by the
trial judge.
1,200 TEACHERS MAKE DRIVE
ON ILLITERACY IN GEORGIA
Georgia’s greatest drive on il
literacy is under way with the aid of
1,200 teachers paid by FERA funds,
it was announced Monday by Dr. M.
D. Collins, state superintendent of
schools.
Dr. Collins said that if the pro
gram is maintained, illiteracy will be
practically stamped out in Georgia in
three more years.
At present there are about 200,000
illiterates in the state, most of them
negroes, Dr. Collins said. The FERA
teachers are organizing classes for
illiterates from the ages of 14 up and
are hoping to cover the entire state
within three years.
AUGUSTA HIGH SCHOOL
GIRLS ARE NOT TO
• SMOKE AFTER
ALL
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 19.—Augu.-ta's
high school girls can't smoke, after
all.
Their hope, if any they had, was
based on a recent ruling by the
Richmond (Augusta) County B ard
of Education saying in effect that
since Academy boys could smoke in
restricted areas at the school, so
could the Tubman girls.
President J. L. Skinner, of the
Academy complained that the "boy s
smoked anyhow, rules or no rule-.”
and asked the board to lighten the
restrictions.
When T. H. Garrett, principal f
the Tubman High school for girls,
heard about the ruling, he said in a
statement addressed to the mothers
and fathers that most of the girls
“do no want to smoke.”
He added that a “lady fat and
fiftyish blowing cigarette smoke in
lazy ringlets towards the atmosphere
■s a sad sight."
TALMADGE’S PLAN-
FAVORED BY MANY
Atlanta, Nov 20.—If the first re
ports indicate the sentiment of the
entire assembly, Gov. Eugene Tal-
madge’s five-point program will be
given a landslide vote of approval at
the January session of the Georgia
legislature.
Statements today from 43 members
of the next assembly showed most
of them in favor of:
1. Ratifying the governor’s order
for $3 tags for all motor vehicles.
2. Sustaining the governor in sus
pending the old public service com
mission.
3. A four-year term for governor.
4 Creating the office of lieutenant

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative
Hospitals and doctors have alwap
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can lx
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you need not take a
“double dose” a day or two later.
Nor will a mild liquid laxative irrilah
the kidneys.
The right dose of a liquid laxative
brings a more natural movement, and
there is no discomfort at the time,
after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxativi
like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsit
brings safe relief from constipatioi
It gently helps the average person)
bowels until nature restores them to
regularity. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative
which all druggists keep ready (or
use. It makes an ideal family laxa
tive; effective for all ages, and may
be given the youngest child.
