DALTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1915.

There are three things the matter with Germany—
Kultur, Krupp, Kaiser.
Germany, snarling , and snapping, may yet have to
be taught a lesson by Uncle' Sam.
If anyone wants to see a real sure enough Dixie
Highway, all he has to do is te come to this county.
The Colonel broke a rib while attempting to mount
his horse. Don't think much of this as front page
stuff.
Mr. James Resigns.
The resignation of C. E. James as president of the
Dixie Highway association is not surprising to those
who are familiar with the workings of the various
meetings since the beginning of the proposition to
build a great over-land highway from Chicago to
Miami.
We are neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet,
Imt we can't help but refer to the fact that we stated
last week we feared the commission at Chattanooga
bad acted in such a way as to cause criticism. The
commission was called together to locate a direct route
for the Dixie Highway from Chicago to Miami. They
met and did more by locating two routes, neither of
which is the direct route, taken as a whole. It occurs
to us that pull won more than merit in certain in
stances, though the commissioners state that what they
intended by the bifurcated routes was to accomplish the
building of two instead of one road.
Be that as it may, we hope the road will be built,
and right here let us state that it will be so far as
the battlefield division between Atlanta and Chatta-
. nooga is concerned. The work is now being done.
Our people want good roads. The business man wants
them; the farmer wants them and needs them more
than any other one. He is not prejudiced against good
roads because some political charlatans, or their hench
men, tell him good roads are being built only for the
automobile man. The farmer knows, because he is no
fool, that a good road is to his benefit, and this bene
fit is in no wise lessened because an automobile runs
over it. And right here let us say it, the automobile
has done more for the cause of good roads than any
other one agency.
While the resignation of Mr. James from the pres
idency of the Dixie Highway is to be regretted, it
does not mean that there is to be any let-up in the
building of this great road. He is still building and
insisting upon the short route, and that is exactly
what the battlefield route is. And it is being built,
and before the snow flies the link of the Dixie High
way between Atlanta and Chattanooga will be ready
for dedication.
Building good roads is no new proposition up here.
We’ve been at it for several years, and what’s more,
we’re going to keep at it.
Jim Williams, of the Greensboro Herald-Journalj is
reported to have a new suit of clothes to wear to East
man. Of course we don’t know, ‘the report may be
exaggerated.
The wealth of this country is now estimated at
$187,000,000,000. Trying to find out just how much
of this amount belongs to us may cause us to miss the
Eastman press meeting.
Hubbard and Emerson.
If a man write a better book, preach a better
sermon, or make a better mouse trap than his
neighbor, though he build his house in the woods,
the world will make a beaten path to his door.
The above is one of many thousands of epigrams
written by Elbert Hubbard. This one is generally
credited to Emerson, which is the result of a Hubbard
trick. Back in his earlier days the sage of East Au
rora was a very obscure person. He wrote a lot of
material and submitted it to various publishers who
paid little or no attention to it. He thought what he
was writing was just about as good, if not a little
better, than a lot of the material the big publishers
were turning out by the bale, so he wrote the above
paragraph, sent it out over Emerson’s name and lo
and behold, it was on every lip where literature is
appreciated within a very short time. Comparatively
few people to this day know that Hubbard wrote the
lines.
There are those who claim that Hnbbard adopted
the thought from Emerson, among them being the
Macon News, but we have never yet located the same
idea in Emerson’s works, and we have browsed over
them considerably, and if Hnbbard has written any=
thing we have failed to read he simply put one over
on us when we had our-head turned.
It is very true that Hubbard revamped a great
many of Emerson’s ideas. He did the same with
Plutarch, William Morris, Buskin and hundreds of
others of the great writers and thinkers of the past.
We are all debtors to those great luminaries who have
preceded us, and their lives and work have influenced
ns, while their ideas have been incorporated so com-,
pletely that we claim them -as our very own!
And after all, is there anything new or original un
der the sunt
McG-hee Withdraws.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found a card from
Mr. Walter C. McGhee, in which he states his reasons
for withdrawing from the race of county commissioner.
The card is an index to the character of Walter Mc
Ghee. Bather than do anything to cause a feeling on
the part of anyone in any section of the county that
Dalton is trying to get something she is not entitled
to he manfully withdraws from the race, and does it
feeling sure that he could win the- race, and being as
sured by his friends that he could.
It is very unfortunate, as well as untimely, for any
one to attempt to array the country people against
the town people in a race of this kind. There 'is the
best of feeling between the county and town people,
and that person who attempts to disturb the friendly
relationship is friend to neither town nor county.
Dalton, paying nearly two-thirds- of^the road tax,
might hope to have one commissioner from the Dalton
district, but if to get this commissioner she is to
cause disharmony among the people of the town and
county, she is willing to forego representation on the
board until such time as the people realize she wants
nothing that she does not deserve.
The withdrawal of Mr. McGhee from the race will
stop the foolish talk that has been going on in certain
sections of the county that Dalton is trying to “con
trol the board in order to^build automobile roads.”
Such talk is so silly that it is childish, but even
this kind of talk can hurt, if it is kept up, and this
is' no time for it to be kept up. But it is the proper
time to ignore the man or men who indulge in it.
One of the greatest enemies a town or a cotuity
can have is that person who takes the people for
'fools and then attempts to arouse class prejudice and
class hatred by wilful misrepresentation.
The people of Dalton want good roads in the county,
and if the people in the county don’t want Dalton
represented on the board, even thongh she pays twice
as much road tax as all the balance of the county
combined, we shan’t get mad, but will go right on
helping to build the roads.
We want more roads and better roads and fewer
knockers. -t
We can stand most anything better than the snivel
ing hypocrite, who like the poor, seems to be always
with ns.
If the “Bulletins” issued by the “Men and Beli-
gion Forward Movement” crowd in Atlanta are half
true, Atlanta is a town all decent people should side
step.
Heard of only one man who is “agin” the Dixie
Highway. Nope, we won’t print his name, for while
he might not realize it, he would have cause for action
against ns if "we did.
That fellow Camp, of the Walton Tribune, is a
good actor, and when we bump up against him at
Eastman we are going to insist that he appoint us
custodian of his cat. We‘don’t want him to kill the
Macon Telegraph’s canary bird.
The Citizen has been remiss in not noting in these
columns the change in ownership and editorship of
the Chatsworth Times, the lively weekly published at
the county site of Murray. The Messrs. Huffstettlers
have sold the newspaper to S. C. Edmondson, who is
now in full control as editor and proprietor. The Citi-
zen extends the hand of fellowship and wishes well
the new- management.
Just Got To Say It.
Some of the holy publishers of weekly news
papers have refused beer ads. Why, boys, what’s
the matter with you? Beer is a splendid tonic.—
Greensboro Herald-Journal.
Yes, William, but we don’t believe in advertis
ing something that would probably cause our sup
ply to be shortened.—Butler Herald.
As we have before said, there is more hyp'oerisy and
Pharisaism connected with this question than any other
we have ever seen. A few high salaried agitators,
paid with funds begged from the people, have threat
ened and attempted intimidation until a lot of
weak-kneed brothers think there is only one evil loose
in the world, and that the whisky evil. There is no
respectable newspaper anywhere that stands for the
evils of intemperance, but nevertheless a lot of loud
mouthed, evil-minded, suspicious charlatans go up and
down and over the state classing everybody and every-'
thing immoral that won’t submit to their contemptible
methods. So far as this newspaper is concerned, it
refuses to be intimidated or frightened byeither bunch.
We take no orders from the liquorites, neither do we
receive instructions from the holier-than-thou crowd,
who beg and browbeat and threaten newspapers and
legislators. ~
We shall continue to hoe our own row, holding in
contempt alike the legislative lobbyist and blackmailer,
whether he represent the liquor trust or the “moral
plunderbund.” One is just about as bad as the other.
A Magnanimous Offer.
Through the Western Newspaper. Union the execu
tive committee of the “Men and Beligion Forward
Movement”, has offered The Citizen its “Bulletins”
in plate form free of charge. We are also advised
that only fifty papers in the state will receive the
plates, although the offer 'will be made “to practically
every newspaper in the state.”
This is a naive confession that this “holy” bunch
is reasonably sure that out of the more than three
hundred newspapers in the state fifty can be found
that wiB accept the stuff they propose to send out.
We don’t believe there are fifty such fools in the
newspaper business in Georgia.
These “Bulletins” have been running in the Atlanta
papers for a long time as PAID ADVERTISEMENTS,
presumably. ,
Now, assuming that the country newspapers are run
by a set of “easy marks,” this gang seeks to palm
off the “Bulletins” free of all charge on fifty of them.
The proposition is an insult to, and a reflection on,
the intelligence of the press of this state.
The Citizen not only respectfully declines the
proposition, but resents the insult offered, as well as
the reflection ou its capacity to discern a fake when it
meets it in the road in broad open daylight.-

Now that you’ve got rain, what are you going
to do with it?—Macon News.
Take a bath in it, old ; pal, and forget it.
Where is the’ old-fashioned man who wore side
whiskers and a goatee, too?—Atlanta Journal.
If he is not, he ought to be in a cage where ad
mission is charged to see him.
Is there nothing in the whole wide world you
can give a cat in the early morning to make him
shut up when you want to sleep!—Macon Tele
graph.
Sure! Try afload of buckshot.
Nearly every Chinese town, no matter how small,
has a wall around it. Just to keep the bill col
lectors out, perhaps.—Borne Tribune-Herald.
If the wall will keep ’em out we believe in ’em.
However, we have just about decided to hunt a cave.
Anybody know bow to make a tooth start aching
in the daytime instead of after you’ve retired?—
Macon Telegraph.
You ought to be busy with your conscience after
you retire. Got no business letting a toothache inter
fere with the tussle.
What has become of the old fashioned bride who
was worried a few hours after leaving the altar
whether, in the event -of her death, her husband
would marry again?—Macon News.
Still here, but is worrying about what the lawyer
will charge her for getting a divorce, and the size of
alimony.
Commissioner lost a pair of breeches at' the
Chattanooga road meeting. At it again, are you
Shope? Will you never reform?—Borne Tribune-
Herald.
Got the wrong man. The commissioner’s breeches
wouldn’t fit us. The breeches in question would just
about fit that noble Eoman, John Vandiver, and by
taking a tuck or two, Bob Graves wouldn’t look bad
in ’em.
Our idea of an optimist is a man'who hopes for
the-best, prepares for the worst, and swallows the
dose fate ladles out to him with a cheerful grin.—
Atlanta Journal.
Good sound sense in such philosophy. That’s the
way we do about bill collectors. We prepare for them
but always hope they will ge run over by a train while
on their way to us.
•The people of a rural community as a whole,
tolerate in their favorite daily paper that which ■
they will not tolerate in their local weekly. That’s
wrong as well as inconsistent—Greensboro Herald-
Journal.
Why, to be sure, if you’ll submit to it. No mer
chant is criticized for selling a saloon keeper a suit
of clothes, but if a weekly newspaper sells him some
space—oh, well, what’s the use to argue with ’em?
The Dixie Highway Commission, in session in
Chattanooga last week, tried to satisfy all aspir
ants for prospective routes. In Northwest Georgia
They recognized the claims of both the proposed
highways—one through Dalton and Calhoun and
the other curving around by LaFayette, Summer
ville and Borne, and the two coming together at
Kingston. Two routes are also provided in the
same way north of Chattanooga and south of
Atlanta.—Cedartown Standard.
We take the view that what the commissioners had
in mini when they designated two roittes was to get
double the amount of good roads. Whether or not
they are correct in this view remains to be seen. So
far as the “battlefield,” or short route, between Chat
tanooga and Atlanta is concerned, we are satisfied,
because we have the logical route, the short route, and
the only route that is in’reality being built.
A pleasing interlude of the Dixie Highway meet
ing at Chattanooga for the writer was meeting
Editor Jack McCartney of the Borne Tribune-
Herald, and Editor Tobe Shope of the Dalton
Citizen. Their towns were Dixie rivals and each
got -a half of the bi-furcated ronte. On which,
by the way/'we- congratulate the route. Both
editors were in glad rags and fine feathers. Jack
had his wife along and a new auto, and Shope
had a $10 bill. We know where Jack got his
bride; like the sensible fellow he is, he came to
South Georgia for her; but how he got the auto
and Shope got $10 is beyond our guessing. Shope
says Jack got his auto by shooting craps and
Jack says Shope raised $10 by assessing each
male citizen of Dalton fifty cents to pay his way
to Chattanooga. Perhaps after all it would not
be best to inquire too closely into ways and means
—the boys were good looking in their new clothes
and they not only had a good time but everybody
else in reach was having a good time with them.—
Tifton Gazette.
We have been called most everything ..in the catalog
so far as relates to our first name, but Editor Herring,
of the Tifton Gazette, has just about reached the limit
when he refers to us as “Tobe,.” If Herring were
not such a good man, we would feel like calling on
him for the amende honorable. However, we can’t
help but feel that Jack McCartney, of the Borne Trib
une-Herald, is partly responsible for this last overt
act, and feeling this way, we must necessarily con
clude that the Tifton editor is at least not altogether
guilty. Now, as to onr $10 bill, we don’t propose to
let anybody know how we got it. We’ve a scheme
with no assessment attachment. As to Jack McCart
ney’s automobile, we are not sure yet that he owns
one. It may be that he had it borrowed for the occa
sion.

Time enough to test our mettle,
So please don’t rock the boat.

But please don’t rock the boat.

For a fellow to sit still,

All the wanton lust to kill.
But beneath the water, skating,
Where above we idly float,
There’s V submarine in waiting—
So please don’t rock the doat.

Superstition and Superstitions.
To the Editor of the Dalton Citizen:
In ancient Egypt, the eat was regarded as a sacred
animal, and in our own country today thousands be
lieve dire calamities inevitably follow the killing of
one.
Now and then we see the rude figure of a rooster
nailed to the comb of a barn, haying been fastened
there by some man or boy who little dreamed he was
following an ancient Roman custom. The pagan
Romans fastened the figure of an eagle to the combs
of buildings to ward off danger from lightning, the
belief being that the storm god would not hurl bolts
at his own emblem. In all parts of the civilized world,
cathedrals are seen surmounted by crosses, but as a
religious symbol, the cross ante-dates the Christian
era by many centuries; it having been an important
emblem in ancient Phallic worship. At one time this
worship of the principle of sexual reproduction was
practically world-wide, and emblems representing the
external organs were seen at the roadsides, on the walls
of private homes, and were carried by priests in sol-
' emn public processions. A trace of the oath connected
with this worship is found in the Old Testament, where
Abraham requires his servant to swear concerning the
woman to be chosen as a wife for Isaac. Today an
oath sworn in the same manner is the most binding
obligation known to an Arab.
In Egypt, long before Moses was born, the priests
of Isis shaved their heads, wore white as an emblem
of purity, and solemnly paraded the streets, bearing
their emblems, one of which was the sacred books of
Thot. A part of tbe mysteries practiced by these
tonsored and surpliced priests, was the Tragedy of
Osiris, who was represented as being killed by Typhon,
and his body cut into pieces and hidden in tbe four
quarters of tbe earth. Tbe goddess Is ; 3 cortinued,
according to tbe legend, her search for the pieces of
the murdered god’s body, until at last every piece was
found except the virile member, and tbe god came to
life. An image of the missing member was made and
carried on a pole in public processions by a priest.
This legend found its way into other countries, and
gave rise to other legends of like nature, and was in
troduced, we are told, into Palestine by the Sydionian
builders at the time of the building of the first tem
ple. 'Woman worship is old almost as the world, and
was a part of practically every ancient heath ^
gion. Under some name, the ancients of 60 r ®'
try worshipped an imaginary female and her'i^L;'’’ 111 '
son. These females were all virgins, and^*** 1 *
dressed by such titles as “Mother*of GotL”
“Queen of the Heavens.” These virgin moth ’ **
their suckling sons were represented in stone
canvas with circles around their heads—th ^ 01
denoting that they were divine personages. B
these heathen Mothers of God is traced the *** ^
day worship of Mary, and the custom of paintin'* 0 *
and the infant Jesus with circles around their "if
The theory of evolution applied to hnmaldtvT'
been taguht from time immemorial. Through li ***
centuries heathen priests and heathen philo^
taught that instead of dying men and women m”
shake off the bodies of flesh and blood and li
somewhere else, in some other form. A more n 01
weapon than this doctrine could not be placed '-*5^
hands of a depraved priesthood. It is a t the U
of the doctrine of purgatory, and the monstrous T" 1
trine that the eternal weal or woe of the million T
pends upon the priest and his paid-for services r
doctrine of a purgatory was taught by the m
Greeks and the pagan Romans, and is taught andh!
lieved by the followers of Mohammed. But Greek
J Roman priests did not claim to have power over tf
souls in their purgatories. It remained for pr ;
calling themselves Christian to make that monst™/
claim. "When the “Orthodox Church” began ffl c w
from the heathen religions the filching proeeefel
until the heathen religions had been moved pi
meal over into the “Orthodox Church.” HundrtT
of years before Christ was bom, Numa pretending
be in communication with Divinity, invented a reli°
gion. From this religion the Pontifex, Maximus Vb"
gins, candles and holy water were taken. Also nu
merous holy days, and festivals were taken over and
renamed, together with the custom of defying human
beings. Image worship, of course, was common through-
out heathendom, and of course, images and imam
worship was swept into the “church” with the heath
en millions. In the Eternal City there were wonder
ful images that sweated and nodded, and made known
to the people the win of the gods. The time eame
when there were just as wonderful images in the
“church.” The pagans believed their wonderful im
ages fell down from heaven, just as the priests said
they did, and the Christians . firmly believed their
images did all the miraculous things their priests said
they did. The Priests of Bacchus, the wine god, were
not allowed to marry. The time came when the priests
of the “Orthodox Church” were sworn to celibacy.
Upon their initiation these priests were given wine to
drink, and were told they were drinking the blood of
Bacchus. Today thousands of priests calling them
selves Christians unblushingly claim they drink the
blood of Jesus Christ Sabbath after Sabbath.
The superstition concerning the sacredness of odd
numbers was widespread among‘the ancients, and was
shared by Pythagoras, the famous Grecian philosopher.
This interesting superstition existed among the Ger
mans at the time of the Boman invasion; as also did
the superstition concerning the peculiar sacredness of
high mountain tops and deep valleys At the time of
the invasion, the Romans found the German priests
in feminine attire, celebrating their religions rites oa
the highest mountain tops and in the deepest valleys.
With the Druids the mistletoe was holy, and it was
one of the duties of the Arch Druid to cut the mistle
toe from the tree with a gold knife. Another interest
ing superstition that existed throughout the ancient
world, was the one concerning the true name of God.
They called it the Ineffable or Unutterable name, and
no man was to speak it. This superstition existed
among the Jews; and was shared by the learned
Jocephns, who informs us that Moses asked God at
the burning bush to- tell him the true pronunciation
of the Great Name which it was not lawful for any
to speak. Th.ere is a legend that the name was writ
ten by Jehovah Himself on a white stone and given
to Adam, and that this stone was long afterward con
cealed in Solomon’s Temple. Such legends are inter
esting, as they show how fertile the imaginations of
some have been from the beginning of the world, and
how ready even the learned have been to believe what
ever they were taught, provided the things taught
were wrapped about with mystery, and in conflict
with common sense.
It has never been hard to make people befieve
things improbable, impossible, and useless; but it has
been vastly hard to persuade them to use their own
common sense.
Jessie Baxter Smith.
Dalton, Georgia.
The Dalton Citizen congratulates the Tribune-Herald
and the Borne people for securing a designation on
the Dixie Highway without being entitled to it. That
is the way the Citizen puts it. For all of which the
people of this city and the Tribune-Herald extend
sincere thanks—we also hug to onr bosom with con
siderable unction the consoling thought that both ns,
and the people are so great. We were particular!;
aware of this fact heretofore and are both pleased and
gratified that others have noticed and recognized it
In truth Dalton is a great town, we believed this
heretofore—now we know it. It is destined some day
to be known around the world. If it keeps np th e
present lick for any considerable length of time, $
will be. Always provided that after the war in Bn -
rope there are enough people left to make that recog
nition. We expect some day that the crowned heads
of Europe will humbly bow at Dalton’s magic shrine,
that they will lightly doff their crowns and wa ’’ e
their sceptres as they view for the first time the
historic city among the North Georgia hills.
In truth Dalton is a great town. We always be
lieved it and now we know it. If there was any doubt
whatever of this fact it was dissipated when Bo® 5
bucked Dalton for the Dixie Highway. They g* T8
us aH that was coming to us in the way of a
and the fact that Borne was successful, is a lasting
tribute to the energy and resourcefulness of its
pie. Dalton has a great newspaper—a newspaper t n
knows the game of boosting from boosting’s earl® 5
recollections. During the late Dixie Highway n 2 ®
paign, it caused the Tribune-Herald several bad
hours, and quite a number of jealous pangs. But
is now all a thing of the past. We want Dalto 1 *
join with Borne in making this the greatest and ®°-
prosperons section on the face of the earth, with Bo® 5
the greatest city and Dalton the next best.
After travelers on the Dixie Highway have co®^
first to Borne as they will most assuredly do, we
suggest that they turn right round and go back
Dalton. This will be necessary if they want to
it all. The route from Chattanooga to Atlanta
Borne will.be constructed with such lightning ^
speed that people will be traveling over it before
other ronte is surveyed, the mud holes filled an
limbs cut out of the way. A considerable portBin^
the Borne ronte has been already constructed
be mere bagatelle to finish the balance.
In the course of time also, no doubt the l0U ^^g
Dalton wUl be made passable for automobiles or
vehicles. The Tribune-Herald believes in ^
thinks it a right nice town and wishes it
it- should always remember, and the fact has
been pretty well established, that the city tba » ^
ahead of Borne will have to get up and dust, <1“^
early in the morning. The Tribune-Herald :
active neighbor and wishes it the top of the mo
