DALTON, GA„ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1920
The weather has been somewhat zippy this week.
A big man like Wilson draws the fire and ire of the
little fellows.
Now that Christmas is over, it is time to push for
ward with- renewed energy.
“Strainingat a Gnat,” etc.
I do not think we could safely get going uydbr
a new national administration without first hav
ing somebody high up in the sanhedrim appeal to
the Almighty. We are all right now. however,
for Mr. Harding has found that the League of
Nations does not recognize 'God'—perhaps a bet
ter reason than has hitherto been advanced—
therefore he cannot accept it." writes a Times
reader. Perhaps., if the League had recognized
the Almighty, Mr. Harding would have found that
fact a strong reason for not accepting it. seeing
that the constitution of his country nowhere rec
ognizes a Supreme Being. If the new president-
to-be refuses to accept the covenants of the
League of Nations for the reason given, it would
be interesting to know what he would do with
the federal Constitution if it had to be submitted
to him for ratification.—Chattanooga Times.
Which goes to show the quality of buncombe some
times indulged in by men elected to high.office. W$
have read a lot written by demagogs—centainly not
by real Christians—about there being no recognition
of a Supreme Being in the Federal ^Constitution,
while there breathes through the entire instrument the
spirit of justice and fair play, certainly essentials of
Christianity.
And the League of Nations instrument is composed
of the very essence of Christianity, the intention of it
being to bring about universal peace—“peace on earth
and good will toward men.”
All of which goes to show that a great many people
still attach a great deal of importance to lip profes
sions. and that Pharisaism is still present in the world.
Words are important when sincerely spoken as a
means of transmitting thought and truth, but it is
the deed, backed by the proper spirit, that counts.
A real Christian announcement may issue from
holy lips, and yet no mention be made of a Supreme
Being, because there are times and places when it
would seem Pharisaical, and at others sacrilegious—
in both instances purely hypocritical.
Christ admonished his followers the essentiality of
the complete separation of church and state when He
told them that it was mete to “render unto Caesar the
things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things
which he God’s." It would seem, therefore, that the
teaching of Christ is a rebuke to those politicians
who seek to incorporate into state papers, and to
inject into state affairs, the name of the Supreme
Being, especially when there are no higher motives
for it than those of policy and expediency.
President-elect Harding is on the way. He, has
coined a phrase, even if he did use an obsolete word
in doing it.
The kind of “home brew” the Columbus Enquirer-
Sun is serving is hard to beat. Editor Loyless is an
expert brewer.
Springtime.
Saturday is springtime!
Not that Saturday will hear the world say its
adieux to winter, witness the crocus’ peeping, or
find the birds returning, for the forecasters are still
predicting cold weather. But Saturday ushers in
another yea r. one that no one has sampled, and with
each bright beginning of another twelvemonths comes
springtime to the hearts of men.
At the first of each year new ideas are tried out,
new schemes are fostered, better habits are nurtured
in the hope that they will take root. Sometimes
changes that are felt will make things better and
pathways easier flourish for a little while only to
wither later in the year, but happily, new years, like
the seasons, come annually and those who do not see
their plans mature can plan for another year. Fort
unately normal man is hopeful and perseverant, and
each new year finds the great majority looking for
ward to accomplishing,those things the closing year
left undone.
As things have panned out this January will doubt
less be the springtime for many businesses, for the
rapid changes and swift revisions will perhaps sug
gest beginning anew in policies and methods to meet
the changed business situation.
1921 will be springtime in national politics, for a
change in administration means new plans and usu
ally ruthless weeding. We trust the incoming pres
ident and his advisers will not uproot the hardy
perennials planted by the democratic leaders which
if cultivated will grow to protect not only America
but the world from the blasts of warfare.
As we enter the new year The Citizen wishes for
all a year brim-ful of happiness and one touched with
prosperity. We hope all your cherished ambitions
may be realized and that the failures and disappoint
ments that come will only accentuate the successes
and happiness.
Quit Nagging^
The fight, never-ending it seems, being waged by
certain Atlanta politicians and lobbyists against the
Georgia Railway and Power Company, is proving
somewhat of a boomerang.
There are a few people in Atlanta who live for no
other purpose it would seem, than to obstruct aud
condemn every move the power company mak.es.
They want it to deliver service without auy increase
in rates for light, power, and gas, regardless of
costs. They fought every advance the company has
asked “for, when every reasonable aud sensible man
knows that pre-war prices mean bankruptcy for public
service corporations.
We are coming now to the kernel of the nut. There
are numbers of people in the state who are beginning
to feel that certain'Selfish interests in Atlanta want
rates far below cost' They want the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company to give them these cheap
rates and then make it up by levying very much
higher rates outside the city of Atlanta, which is
exactly what is not going to be done, because the
Atlanta fight is being watched.
In order to ascertain whether or not the rates
asked for \v the power company in Atlanta are too
high, an audit of the company’s books was suggested.
The power company Quickly agreed to it, and offered
to pay one-half the expense of the audit. Did At
lanta agree to it? No, she did not. She refused to
help pay for the audit, and is still dodng it.
All of which goes to show there is somewhere in
this affair a lot of hypocrisy, demagogy and insin
cerity, If the rates the Georgia Railway and Power
Company are asking for are too high for the service,
why does not the city of Atlanta prove to the' con
trary by an agreement to help pay for an audit for
the purpose of ascertaining the true facts?
All of the buncombe put forth by the so-called
“Municipal League” of the state is a fight against
Hlie Georgia Railway and Power Company.’ “The
state should act,” say -the bulletins. Certainly it
should, but whenever it does, it will not act just as
Marion Jackson. Jim Key and John Egan want it
to act. And it it did there is not a municipality in
the state of Georgia able to vote enough bonds to
build an electrical plant with facilities enough to ren
der the service now supplied by the power company.
We are now speaking of those cities using wholly
the service supplied by the Georgia Railway and Pow
er Company. *
Dalton has had her experience with a municipal
power and light plant, and at a time when there was
very little of the current used for anything except
lighting.
And Dalton and her industries prefer to deal with
a power company sufficiently capable of delivering the
goods.
Atlanta should quit nagging the Georgia Railway
and Power Company for at least awhile, and give it
an opportunity to finish up some of the power devel
opments it started before the war.
They are sorely needed in the state as a means of
improving service.
It is service the people want from the power com
pany, and if it develops that It is charging too much
for it, it will then be time toushow it up, andjlet the
Railroad Commission, which has supervision of its
rates, say what is right and proper.
The crime wave is reported checked in Atlanta.
We hope it will stay checked, as the city has been
getting some mighty bad advertising here of late.
A negro is reported to have stolen $700 worth of
eggs from a Florida merchant At the present price,
he conld have carried them away ini his overcoat
pockets.
“Kill the grouch,” says a headline. Which when
done would send the price of coffins to the sky, and
higher. Whic his considerably higher than their con
tents would ever get.
Penalties of Wealth.
After the tumult and the shouting have subsided,
and the smoke screen has spent itself, it is very plain
ly to be seen that somebody has slipped up rather
severely in the Shepard case.
Here was a wealthy man who first married the
woman he really loved. He seemed to care nothing
for his riches, and in order to escape their penalties,
went away to the far west, married the woman of
his choice and went to work for a living. But not
for long. According to the Tifton Gazette, “his par
ents discovered him. They brough him home, had
him divorce his wife, hnd from that time the career
of the unfortunate young man was ruined. If ac
counts are true, his after life was worthless to him
self or t<5 anyone else; in fact, it was probably pro
ductive of more harm than good. Restless and ap
parently dissatisfied, dissipation was an inevitable
consequence. The close of his life was tragic, and
he did not even find rest after death; twice has his
grave been opened to furnish evidence that his end
was violent and to furnish the state with the most
morbid sensation of recent years. Parents are not
always wise; perhaps it would have been much better
had young Shepard been left alone, with the wife and
the work he had chosen.”
There is little doubt about that. Rich people are
too often clannish. The common herd is not worthy
of their notice or attention, and for a member of
their class or clan to marry into a poor family, how
ever respected, is the unpardonable breach that brings
either; ostracism or separation. And in the majority
of cases the former state is very much preferable.
The Shepard case is a very conspicuous example,
proving very conclusively that men and womeir who
have reached the years, of accountability are the best
judges of heart affairs that directly concern Hia™,
Shepard’s family had him to divorce the wife he
loved, and from the moment this was done his star
began’to wane.
When Napoleon divorced Josephine, the woman he
really loved, and who in return loved him as really,
and married the Austrian woman the fates turned
against him, his star quickly entering the descendant.
Soon thereafter it was Waterloo and St. Helena.
Shepard evidently cared nothing for his second wife,
who was doubtless a sort of adveutul’ess, bent on
having a good time, no matter what it cost. He
himself in dissipation, and strove to forget his wealth
and his first wife. Naturally he was wanted out of
the way quite as much as his money was coveted.
He may have died a natural death, but evidently
he welcomed the kind it was.
The state failed to prove to the satisfaction of the
court that Shepard was poisoned. So it is to be
1io;km1 that no more will be heard of this sensational
and sordid affair.
Never lend encouragement to people who are chronic
grumblers aud complainers.
Cutting down production is not the way to make a
job hold out. The man who produces at all times
is the man who is kept on the job.
Jack L. Patterson’s chats with the newspaper boys
in the Atlanta Journal, are a very interesting feature
of that excellent paper.
There is comparatively little lawlessness going on
in this town. Store breaking has become a lost art,
but there are reports that freight trains are being
robbed to the north of the city.
“The stale should act,” says the “municipal league”
crowd. It will some of these times, and when it does,
the lobbyists will be kicked out of the state capitol.
And then what will Marion Jackson and his crowd do?

A California bank with seventy-three million

And doubtless it also breaks a lot of hearts.
“Deflation was badly timed,” says Senator Har

At any rate, we are goiug to have a nice long
rest from elections, which is a thing devoutly to
be thankful for.—Rome Tribune-Herald.
And if we can also have the talking about them
hushed up it will be something else to be thankful for.

Some folk claim the English have no sense of
humor, yet we see where a foxy Britisher dis
cussing our reform-ridden land refers to us as
the Benighted States of America. If that isn’t
humor, what is it?—Macon Telegraph.
Well, looking at it from this distance, and seeing
what we see. we are convinced it is also the truth.
Every time some classes of people stump their
toe they holler for Washington to come to their
rescue. It has gotten to be a regular habit. What
this country needs is more work, better judg
ment and a season of sane living. Washington
cannot and should not be expected to run to the
help of every class of people who meet up with
temporary obstacles.—Commerce Observer.
That’s the truth. The politicians of the J. J. Brown
type are making fools of a lot of people. People who
won’t help themselves, don’t deserve to be helped
from Washington or elsewhere.
A shoe is not the only thing that pinches. Did
you ever sit on a bench made of two loose planks?
Greensboro Herald-Journal. “Yep. And we have
got up rather hurriedly from a bench made of two
loose planks,” says The Dalton Citizen. What a
good memory those old fellows have; brief im
pressions lasted so long!—Tifton Gazette.
The youthful editor of the Gazette is all right if
he floes like chit’lins, but being a Wiregrass product
we’ll bet him a nickel against all the hog interiors
in his section of the state that he knows from expe
rience all about “a bench made of two loose planks.”
Referring to a paragraph from the Lanier
County News, “What will Wilson do when he re-
• tires from the presidency?” reproduced in the
Gazette, a friend writes: “The statement that
John Quincy Adams was the only president who
returned to public life seems to be going the
rounds of the press, and is a mistake. Andrew
Johnson was a member of the United States sen
ate from Tennessee when he died, July 31, 1S75.
He was elected when in his 67th year. Refer
ence: Directory of Congress and the American
edition of the Encyclopedia Britanica, Volume VI,
page 3658. Of local interest is the fact that Rev.
Sam W. Small, the celebrated newspaper man,
was President Johnson’s secretary.”—Tifton Ga
zette.
Frequently going the rounds of the press is some
stuff that is made up from idle gossip and hearsay
evidence. The Citizen is glad to be informed as
above.
Here is some more of the logic of Arthur Bris
bane, the champion anti-League of Nations handy
man for Hearst. He says:
“If European nations say, We are too poor to
compete with you in shipbuilding, this country’s
answer should be, Then don’t compete. Save
your money. You will not be attacked by the
United States, and you know it well. This coun
try means only to have and to keep what belongs
to it. The best thing for you is to disarm, since
you used your armies and navies for offense, and
let Uncle Sam be the international policeman.”
In other words, he objects to our joining with
all the other nations of the world £o help police
•the world, but wants Uncle Sam to take the
whole job himself!
Now, what jlo you think of that?—Cedartown
Standard.
We think a man who writes as much as Brisbane

headed—to or from Thomson?—Columbus Enquir
er-Sun.
Think “Tom Billie” was on his way to “Hickory
Hill,” to see what “T. E. W.” brought him from
Cuba.—Greensboro Herald-Journal.
We didn’t know T. E. W. had returned from

The Pot Assails the Kettle.
Frederick H. Gillette, speaker of the house of repre
senta-fives, made a speech at the annual dinner of the
New England Society of New York, Wednesday night
in which he indicted the labor unions for stifling pro
duction “when the crying need of the whole world
is production.”
What Mr. Gillett said about the tendencies of or
ganized labor is in the mai(i true, but why did he
stop with the unions? Why not he honest, and tell
•the whole truth? Even a member of congress might
venture to go that far on occasion, if only by way of
experiment.
Without question organized labor in many indus
tries has deliberately stifled production. So has o
ganized capital. Has Mr. Gillett ever heard of
Lockwood committee and its investigation of the
building trades-in New York? Has he paid any at
tention to the testimony showing how industry after
industry was organized to levy tribute upon every
form of building? How strikes were bought and sold
at the instigation of rings of contractors? How com
binations of steel manufacturers refused to sell their
product to builders unless they could also dictate
the kind of labor that should be employed? How
the business of erecting apartments and office struct
ures and factories in this city was so completely at
the mercy of these organizations that all free enter-
'prise was crushed?
After Mr. Gillett has digested some of the testi
mony taken by the Lockwood committee he could
profitably devote a little time to the coal trade and
the revelations that have been made of the practices
of the men who have been stifling production by ma-
jjipulating the market. Coal is one of the basic ele
ments of production, and the coal crowd has been
using both hands in robbing the publje. Even the
government has not escaped. Excessdve prices of
fuel have a great deal to do uftth the slowing down of
industry, but none of Mr. Gillett’s indignation is
poured upon the coal organization.
If the speaker too were inclined to look further
into the causes of diminished production, he need not
leave his august place as presiding officer of the house
of representatives. In front of him he will find ap
proximately 435 reasons, 435 being the number of
members of Hie house in the Sixty-sixth congress.
For nearly two years American industry has been
petitioning for a revision of the war taxes and for
such a readjustment of the burden as would permit
production. Congress has never given one dollar’s
worth of relief of any kind. It has left taxes where
they were the day the armistice was signed, and the
senate has likewise left peace where it was then.
Instead of devoting itself to a revision of war
taxes, the house over which Mr. Gillett presides has
now enacted a fraudulent tariff bill for the benefit
of the speculative interests. This monumental fake
is perpetrated in the name of American agriculture,
ou the pretense that American agriculture is suffering
from foreign competition. There could be nothing
more dishonest than this bill and the arguments that
are advanced in favor of it. The only result of it
null be to increase the cost of living, make labor still
more restless and put great fortunes into the pockets
of speculators.
Farm prices have not declined because of importa
tions of food but because Europe is not able to pay
for American food which it so sorely needs—for the
lack of which millions are now on the verge of star
vation.
Many causes have contributed to the decline of
American production during the last year. Organized
labor has behaved badly in numerous' instances. Or
ganized capital in many lines of activity has behaved
equally badly; but the worst record of all for inex
cusable obstruction belongs to the congress of which
Frederick H. Gillett is speaker. When he assails the
unions for stifling production, it is indeed a case of
the pot defaming the kettle.—New York World.
Crime.
The crime wave now sweeping the country is gen
erally attributed to unemployment and the scarcity
of money. It is undoubtedly true that thousands of
persons thrown out of work have turned to theft,
swindling and various forms of larceny, and many of
those caught in the law’s dragnet are men recently
thrown out of work by the curtailment of forces in
industrial plants. Those who prefer staying as nearly
as possible “within the law” through living by their
wits are not finding much “easy money.” and are eri»-
barking on more risky ventures with the result that
many of them are landing behind prison bars.
Still, ttie number of those contributing to the wave
of crime who keep out of jail is small compared with
the army remaining at large. In the larger cities the
situation is described by newspapers as one without
precedent. The number of burglaries, holdups, safe-
blowings. forgeries, confidence games and similar
crimes is appalling. The thug is abroad from night
fall to dawn, and by day the slick thief bent on col
lecting the living which he contends the world owes
him is making trouble for those endeavoring to earn
an honest living.
In many sections of -the country the courts are
being charged with a large measure of responsibility
for the persistence of crime. The mild sentences
imposed on those convicted of flagrant lawless
ness — yeggmen. porch - climbers, confidence men,
burglars and forgers—are pointed to as having a pen
dency rather to invite crime than suppress it. partic
ularly as moderate fines are so often permitted in
lieu of terms behind prison bars. In New York. Phil
adelphia. Chicago and other large cities the news
papers have been particularly severe in recent changes
that the courts have in a large measure ceased to be
terrors to evil doers, and that entirely too many law
breakers simply pay fines as the equivalent of license
fees permitting them to continue in crime.
Certain it is that crime is holding high carnival in
the country. Small banks in country towns are having,
.their deposit boxes rifled and their safes blown at a
‘■startling rate, and in the cities footpads and hold-up
men make every dark corner a place of danger.—Al
bany Herald. <
Do It Now.
Do it now” is one of those good old copy-book
maxims which never lose their virtue through all
the years. Procrastination has been very properly
called the thief of time and every man under all con
ditions should see to it that he accomplishes each
day’s task before the day is done.
But if -this is true as a general proposition, how
much more true it is in this period of reconstruction
when all the wprld is trying to get down to normal.
There are not enough homes for the people and the
citizen who owns his own home is the unit of onr civ
ilization. There is need for an increase In the num
ber of plants of various lines of extension of those
that are already existing. Why not “do it now?”
The Manufacturers Record, .which may always be
counted upon to deal soberly and intelligently with
this question, features the following on the cover of
its latest issue:
“Whatever thy hand findeth to do. do it with
all thy might.” is the doctrine which needs to be
preached today with all the emphasis in the na
tion’s power. Because disaster has overtaken
many, because the nation’s buying power has been
greatly decreased by Teason of the rapid deflation
in products and In employment we cannot afford
to sit down and fold our bauds, for that would
only mean stagnation, and stagnation means death.
If your plant needs new equipment or extension,
and the money is available. DO IT NOW. and be
ready for the next wave of activity, which will
come as surely as the sun floods -the earth with
brightness after the clouds have disappeared. Tf
your town or city or county needs municipal build
ings. schools or enlarged waterworks or sewerage
systems, if highway work and street construction
need to be done, then do your utmost to see that
these things are DONE NOW. Labor is seeking
employment, manufactured products are available
for all classes of construction work, and at prices

The Old Home.
There’s a cottage in a lane
Which I long to see again,
Where -the honeysuckles bloom around the door
’Twas my childhood’s happy home
Ere my footsteps learned to roam
In the joyful, care-free days I knew of yore
REFRAIN.
Dear old childhood home,
Happy childhood home,
Where love and joy and peace were wont to d ffen .
Wherever I may be
In mem’ry I shall see
The dear old cottage home I love so well.
There my mother, old and gray,
Waits my coming day by day,
Praying ever -that her wand’ring boy returns:
While my erring footsteps stray
Farther from her day by day,
Though my heart for home and mother ever yearm.
May God speed the happy day
When my feet no longer stray,
And I see again the home I love so well;
When my mother I shall greet,
Then my joy shall be complete,
On that day of joy and rapture oft I dwell.
She’s Just “An Old Woman Who Lived in a Show”
She’s just “an old woman who lived in a shoe."
With a brood of wee babes in her care;
Every sorrow or joy of each girl or each boy,
She ever seemed ready to share.
I seem -to feel! now on my hot, fevered brow
The soft cooling touch that I knew.
An angel below was my mother I know—
The “old woman who lived in a shoe.”
“There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,”
You remember the old jingle well,
With so many children she knew not what to do.
And with all of the cares that befell.
There are mothers like her living all o'er this Ian
Sharing each kiddie’s joys or his woes,
Each daughter and son, she has time for each one-
My mother was like one of those.
God bless the “old woman Who. lived in a shoe,”
For all of her love and her care,
With each childish trouble I would come unto her,
While she cheered me and made life more fair.
How I long just to hear her sweet lullaby song,
As she rocked me -to sleep on her breast.
Just a plain common mother who shared all my woes,
A mother—of all mothers best.
Ho, Hum.
The days are getting short, dear me.
And it gets dark too soon, I vow;
It is a fact, I will agree,
That it gets late quite early now.

The days will be long and longer grow
.In just a few weeks, but ah me,
This bitter fact full well I know,
As short as ever I shall be.
—Newark Advocate.
The nights are long, the days are short,
It seems to go from bad to worse,
Like one who meets a profiteer
And has his Christmas shopping purse.
