DALTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY APRIL 14, 1921.
April was all right until she got to flirting with
March.
President Bugg, of the A., B. & A., is by no means
bughouse.
Don’t grunt, groan or sigh. The cheerful atti
tude is the winning attitude.
The Type Metal Magazine utters a great truth
in the following: “Nothing is ever-gained by win
ning a bargain and losing a customer.”
Keep the Town Clean.
As a city we have had a thorough spring-clean
ing. Every year we realize the need of ridding
the streets, parks and by-ways of the debris that
accumulates during the winter months when bad
weather prevents systematic clean-ups, but this
year the work of improving Dalton has been more
thorough than usual. The D. A. R. conference
which convened here last week served as a lime
impetus, and our people worked steadily to get
private premises and public property in order be
fore our distinguished visitors came.
The spirit that caused our city officials, civic
committees of the various clubs and individual
property owners to work together to set our mu
nicipal house in order is commendable, and it was
splendid that is was done for the D. A. R. dele
gates. But, now that the major portion of the
work has been done, would it not be just as com
mendable in our citizenry to have pride enough to
keep clean the streets and parks that have under
gone the spring-cleaning? And would it not be
well to extend the work to the waste places that
still remain to mar the beauty of our down-town
section?
Every week brings visitors to Dalton, and we
want all guests to receive the right impression of
our town. We have every advantage for a beau
tiful town, because the streets are excellently laid
off and the parks which dot residence and business
streets alike permit a varied scheme of planting
which lends a note of individuality to each , sec
tion of town.
It has been specially requested by the Dalton
Improvement League that The Citizen stress the
need of making town improvements permanent.
We are glad to do this, and we are confident every
one will be interested in doing what he can to
keep the town from being littered with trash.
President Harding delivered his message to con
gress in person, thereby adopting another one of
those “damnable Wilson policies.”
Whitfield county is now surrounded by counties
determined to have good roads. They have voted
bonds for the purpose. What is Whitfield going
to do?
One reason why there is so much unemployment
is because a lot of dollar a day men are hanging
around waiting for somebody to offer them eight
dollars a day.
When any program of improvement is being put
through some old miserly tightwad with one foot
in the grave, and his soul almost in the grasp of
Satan, begins to kick against it.
Being busy most of the time anyway, we have
decided to let the other fellow do the w T orrying
about the Einstein theory. However, we would
like to know whether or not he is a relative of
Jake Einstein, who “dolt the cards.”
Reaping What Was Sown.
It is dawning fast on the minds of the people
everywhere that they are now paying the price
for the infamous fight made against President
Wilson by demagogues and partizans in the sen
ate, and generally over the country. In Georgia
the fight was led by slackers, draft evaders and
pro-Germans.
The farmers have been the heaviest losers be
cause of the fall in prices. Prices of course had
io come down, but it was never thought they would
drop so far 1 below the cost of production, and they
would not if this country could have had a stabil
ized European market. This has been impossible
because of the failure of the senate to ratify the
peace treaty. This country is still technically at
war with Germany, and for this reason we are
trading with her to no appreciable extent. She
wants our cotton but can’t buy it until we are at
peace with her.
The whole of Europe is in a state of chaos, most
of which is due to this country’s attitude since the
signing of the armistice in 1918.
During the Harding campaign the people were
admonished to “vote for Harding and prosperity,”
but instead of having the prosperity we have
Harding and hard times, that is, many are having
hard sledding trying to get over the top. And, by
the way, those who are suffering the most in this
state are those who whooped ’em up for Harding
and Tom Watson.
Listen to this from the Washington Reporter:
If the United States had ratified the peace
treaty two years ago the south today would
be enjoying unprecedented prosperity. Europe
would be taking our cotton, and instead of
having a two-year supply on hand, the present
crop would be in the hands of the spinners,
who would have paid a good price for it.
Demagogues, bent upon discrediting President
Wilson, found enough followers to carry out
the purpose sought, with the result that all of
us, those who followed the demagogues and
those who didn’t, are in a h—1 of a fix.
Speaking to the above the Walton Tribune says:
The Reporter is right. While the wild orgy
of denouncing President Wilson was at its
height, The Tribune sounded a warning to the
home folks, as our editorial pages will 'bear
abundant witness. And no one has suffered
more as a result of the demagogues’ success
than has the Georgia farmer.
Pernicious Bills.
The Citizen has not taken very seriously the at
titude of the so-called Municipal league of Georgia
toward the public utilities of the state, feeling that
the organization is an Atlanta affair, which has
for its purpose the “nagging” of the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company and the Railroad Com
mission. The crowd sponsoring the movement is
a bunch of near-socialists who have recently been
joined by one “Dr.” L. N. Huff and jW. M. Hairston,
both of whose' court records in Fulton county
show what kind of cattle they are.
What the Municipal league is trying to do is to
put through the legislature this summer a bill, or
bills, to authorize the city of Atlanta to, if it so
desires, to confiscate the property of the Georgia
Railway and Power Company. This is exactly
what the bill amounts to, because the city of At
lanta cannot buy and pay for the properties of the
power company, even if all the restrictions thrown
around bond issues for the protection of the peo
ple were removed.
In order to interest the people of Georgia out
side of Atlanta a municipal league was formed,
and through propaganda of various kinds it is seek
ing to make it appear that the people are being
robbed of the benefits they are entitled to by a
failure to develop hydro-electric energy.
The league, in order to capture the vote of the
members of the legislature over the state, informs
the people of the towns everywhere that the legis
lation will enable them to build electric and gas
plants, and thus secure lights and power at a
nominal cost—almost nothing, as compared to
present rates. However, this bunch of political
holy rollers do not tell the people that the highest
rates charged for gas and electricity in Georgia are
charged by municipally-owned plants.
Now what does the municipal league propose to
do? It proposes to lobby through the legislature
bills which strike down the present legal restraints
thrown around bond issues. In other words it
is going to take the bridle off, and vote bonds by
the millions, regardless of property valuations.
In this state the people are protected from ruinous
bond issues by a constitutional provision which
makes it impossible to issue bonds beyond seven
per cent of the taxable value of property. This
wise provision has made our bonds easily salable
at fair interest rates.
If the so-called municipal bills are lobbied
through the legislature this slimmer it means a
body blow to the sale of bonds issued in this state.
Monied people who buy municipal, county and
state bonds as safe investments are not going to
buy “wild cat” bonds, and that is just about what
bonds issued in this state would be with the pro
posed municipal bills on the statute books as law.
It has been estimated, and the estimate seems
very conservative, that it would take $150,000,000
to carry out the “wild cat” scheme of the munic
ipal league, and the league wants the people to
foot the bill so it can get even with that cloven
footed octopus, known as the Georgia Railway
and Power Company, because it has been obliged
to raise its gas and electric rates or go broke.
In Seattle the people, misled by demagogues and
self-seekers, made a fight on the street railways,
because war inflation made it necessary to raise
the street car rates. The city finally took over
the street railway system, and now the people of
that western city are paying ten cent street car
fares, and the company is going deeper into debt
every day.
The state of North Dakota, through the operation
of “wild-cat” schemes, is practically broke. The
non-partizan league crowd got hold of the reins
of the state government and have driven the state
to the very verge of bankruptcy. Her bonds can
not be sold at any price, and the farmers, in whose
interest the non-partizan league was supposed to
operate, have lost thousands of dollars through the
failure of the non-partizan league banks.
Does Georgia wish to be administered by the ad
vocates of state socialism? We do not think so.
We do not believe that the legislature is going to
listen to the siren songs of professional agitators,
who care little, if anything, for the people.
The so-called municipal bills should be killed
so dead that they will never come to life again.
They are pernicious, and it is time the people were
being told the truth about them.
The city council is to be commended for its
sidewalk program. When it is finished, we believe
Dalton will have more paved sidewalks than any
other town of its size in Georgia.
There is no cure for a fellow when he gets to
the point where he thinks he is a little father to
everybody. This is the affliction that brought the
downfall of the czar of Russia.
would delight art and music lovers, and who would
instill in children a love for amusement with an
educational value. This was attained. The sec
ondary object was to make of the undertaking a
financial success, and all goals set were passed.
The putting over of the lyceum sales campaign
and the carrying out successfully of the contract
show the business ability of this literary club, and
is striking evidence of what concerted action and
enthusiasm can accomplish. We congratulate the
Lesche Woman’s Club on what it has done. May
its success spur it on to even greater things!
' The Calhoun Times pulled off its coat, and then
almost wore its shirt out, working for that road
bond issue in Gordon county—and the issue carried
about six to one. The people everywhere want
good roads.
If the safe and sane elements of the typograph
ical union permit the radicals, who are now boring
from within, to call a strike for a forty-four hour
week, they will have only themselves to blame
for the disaster that is sure to overtake them.
We call special attention to an article on this
page from T. M. Boaz, of Calhoun. It gives infor
mation of value about the bond issue in Gordon
county for good roads. If we of Whitfield are to
get anywhere, if we are to keep up with the pro
cession, we will have to issue bonds. If we do
not do it, we will be on the inside, paddling about
in mud holes and ruts, looking out over good roads
all around us. Do we want to do that?
Swift Justice Necessary.
The prompt conviction of J. S. Williams, whole
sale murderer of Newton and Jasper counties, will
go along way toward clearing Georgia of the dis
grace his, crimes placed upon her.
The recommendation to mercy verdict saved
Williams’ neck so far as the case he was tried for
is concerned. A different chapter may be written
by the Jasper county jury.
The dispatches indicate that there is a movement
on foot to quash the prosecution in Jasper county,
and let Williams take the life sentence put on him
by the Newton county jury. In this case the mo
tion for new trial will be withdrawn.
This action on the part of Williams’ attorneys
is very strong evidence that they fear the results
of a trial in Jasper county. It is practically a con
fession of all the crimes charged against their
client.
Justice should be swift in this case, because of
the enormity of the crime and the bad name it is
giving Georgia in the country at large.
Retribution is beipg heaped on the ex-kaiser if
there is in his make-up any spark of affection for
his family. Recently one of his sons, Prince
Joachim, committed suicide, and on Monday his
wife, ex-Empress Augusta Victoria, died after an
illness of a year. Her life was not one of happi
ness, for the ex-kaiser at all times put self above
others, and forced his nearest relations to cater to
his love of praise. Ex-Empress Victoria died ir
exile with her husband at Doom, Holland.

The meeting of the legislature is only three
months off, but no one has tried yet to get out
the skids to remove the state capitol.—Savan

The skids are being greased, no doubt, and At
lanta will again be forced to buy enough members
of the legislature to keep the old capitol from
taking its flight.
With the money he received from the sale of
22 calf hides, an Iowa farmer bought a pair
of shoes and had $1.20 left. You can figure it
out for yourself; we’re in a hurry to go to the
ball game.—Macon Telegraph.
Well, we are not going to figure on any such a
proposition, because when we do it always makes
us want to shoot a profiteer.
We don’t know much, but we do believe if
people the nation over would practice Christ
ianity six days in the week all the troubles,
worry and injustice would disappear.—Com
merce Observer.
If real Christianity were practiced only one day
in the week, conditions would be very much better
than they are.
On to Victory!
Friday morning an early train will carry Dalton
contestants and a large number of boosters from
Dalton High to the twelfth annual school meet at
Cedartown. They will go with pennants flying,
and for two days compete with thirteen other
schools in the Seventh district for literary, display
and athletic honors. Such is our confidence i-
our student body and our faculty’s training that
we are sure they will return with cheers of victory
and bring with them their share of the trophies.
Each year the interest in the district meet grows.
The enthusiasm and work of the pupils and teach
ers are good to see, and the spirit of friendly ri
valry engendered by the annual meet is raising
the standards of excellence in all Georgia High
schools.
All of the district is vitally interested in the
outcome of the meet at Cedartown, and in spirit
every booster of schools will be with the contest
ants.
May Dalton High realize our expectations and
come through victorious!
From the way he poses for the picture folk, we

Lesche Lyceum a Success.
This week brings to a close a successful lyceum
season, and The Citizen wishes to express appre
ciation of the work of the Lesche Woman’s Club
which made it possible for lyceum entertainers
to come to Dalton this year.
Each attraction had merit, and patrons are grat
ified that such excellent attractions could be en
joyed for the nominal charge made for the tickets.
The club’s primary object in securing the lyceum
course was to bring to Dalton entertainers who
Floyd county is agitating a $500,000 road
bond issue, and the Cobb grand jury has rec
ommended a $700,000 issue. Here’s hoping they
will both succeed as well as Polk.—Cedartown

Gordon put one over last week, and Cobb is
going to put one over, so is Floyd and Walker.
Good rpads have never yet been built any other

If the Washington correspondents are doing
it just to please us, they may lay off this goo-
goo stuff about Laddie, the White House purp.
He is beginning to give us a keen shooting
pain in the neck.—Macon Telegraph.
We are beginning to feel the same way about
it. They ought to talk more about the President’s
brigadier-general doctor and less about the purp, it
seems to us.
Our junior Georgia senator is lambasting
President Harding. He says he is appointing
Catholics but no Methodists and good Bap

Talking about personal liberty, we favor a
law permitting a man to hold earth worm
bait in his mouth while fishing. This great
question should be settled at the next legisla
ture.—Greensboro Herald-Journal.
Why, “Uncle Jim,” there is no law against so
holding your bait. Right here and now, however,
we want to go on record as being opposed to any
law making such practice compulsory.
The five-cent shoe shine has come back to
Savannah. Maybe the Greek nobility, operat
ing through a small sized pickaninny in a shoe
shine parlor, may demand more, but we saw
an advertisement in this good paper yesterday
that a downtown shoe store had inaugurated
the five-cent shine. That sounds like we are
petting back to the old days where a nickel
is really worth pocket room.—Bill Biffem in
Savannah Press.
A nickel is enough to pay for a shoe shine if we
are correct in believing there is no war tax to
pay on it.
The report comes from New York that a
bill collector was beaten to death. Now the
question is,, will the courts be able to find a
jufry that will convict the slayer?—Columbus
Enquirer-Sun.
If he was a Collier collector the case is hopeless.
The Savannah Press tells an encouraging
story of Quitman. “Quitman some time ago
recognized the need for more school facilities.
There was one thing to be done—issue bonds
on which to raise funds with which to build
more school room. The bond issue was decided
upon and the date of the election properly
fixed. This week the people went to the polls
in Quitman and without a single opposing
ballot a majority of the registered voters had
before noon made the authorization of the re
quisite amount of bonds for this purpose.—
Augusta Chronicle.
Dalton is in the same condition regarding schools
as Quitman was. The soqner the remedy is ap
plied the better it will be for all concerned.
“Wish you paper fellows would slow up on
so much advice to we farmers,” said a farmer
to us the other day, “we don’t need any of
your advice.” The speaker was a renter, had
been farming for sixty years, didn’t have a pig
to his name, and had to get his rations from
the landlord who was “running” him. And
yet no one can tell him anything about farming
—he knows all about it. One trouble with
many farmers is that they are so stubborn and
hard-headed you can never tell them anything.
The Madisonian has been preaching crop di
versification for a quarter of a century, to
which program the farmers are being driven
by force of circumstances.—Madison Madiso
nian.
An ignoramus is the hardest fellow in the world
to do anything for. He thinks he knows it all,
and yet the fact that he has spent most of his life
getting nowhere is the best evidence that what
he needs is intelligent direction and supervision.
This kind of a fellow never knows what ails him,
but most everybody else does.

♦ LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE ♦
There is Only One Way.
To the Editor of the Dalton Citizen:
Confirming my wire that Gordon county had
voted overwhelmingly for road bonds, I give the
following data, as I know many citizens of Whit
field are, and should be, interested in better roads,
and BONDS are the ONLY PRACTICAL things
with which to build them.
Our registration list is 2,683. For bonds, 1,779;
against bonds, 313. We voted for a $300,000 issue
to be retired in thirty years, 6 per cent interest.
The money derived from the sale of these bonds
'will be deposited in the four banks of the county,
prorated in proportion to their capital stock of
each bank for which they agree to pay the county
six per cent interest on the monthly balance until
the money is spent on the roads.
We have only one county commissioner, hav
ing changed our county laws by local legislation.
He is paid a salary under bond, and is on the job
ALL the time. When he called the election for
bonds, he designated 150 miles of roads in the
county that the bond issue would be expended on,
an average of $2,000 per mile, which will go a
long way under present conditions. The above
amount will build equally as good roads as $5,000
per mile would in the past three years, besides it
will give work to local citizens who want and
need a job, especially after crops are laid by. I
heard one man say that he would vote for bonds
if he knew that it would be five years before it
was spent on the roads—said that the county
needed some outside money to tide over present
financial conditions. I was surprised at this state
ment, coming from a tight-fisted farmer, living
ten miles out. He returns his property for taxes
at about $7,000. Another man who returns his
property in this county at $12,000, is 76 years old,
and lives in another county. He came here elec
tion dav and worked at the polls all day FOR
BONDS.'
When the bona election was called through
the Gordon County Trade Board, the directors of
same being representative citizens from every
district in the county, a road bond committee
with a chairman was organized for each district
in the county, who met every objection against a
bond issue, with a practical, sane argument that
won over most of those against bonds, as the
vote of yesterday shows. They assisted in hav
ing the registration lists from their respective dis
tricts corrected; they used their cars in carrying
people to the polls, whether for or against bonds.
We wanted an expression from the people, and
got it.
To the man who said that we could not afford to
issue bonds he was shown that the citizens of the
countv had paid the amount of the bond issue,
$300,000, in the PAST TWO YEARS, in EXTRA
depreciation and upkeep of all kinds of vehicles,
on account of our present inferior roads. These
figures were based on the 1,000 cars and 3,000
buggies and wagons in the county, and did not
count the time lost and extra hardship on the
stock.
To the man who said he did not want to leave a
debt for his children to pay, was asked if he were
worth twelve million dollars would he object to
leaving a debt of three hundred thousand, if the
money owed was for something that his children
wanted, he could only say no. These figures were
figured from the tax digest. The county taxes re
turned are better than $6,000,000 and the county is
easily worth twice the amount, and free of debt.
It was also shown the town of Calhoun would
pay one-sixth of the bond issue, and not one dol
lar of the money would be expended in the town,
yet its citizens who would have to pay this one-
sixth were for bonds almost to a man. Of the 750
votes polled in the Calhoun box, only twenty-
three were against bonds.
While not a citizen of Whitfield, I am a small
taxpayer of the county, and would be glad to see
them issue bonds and build roads. It is the only
way. No city ever had waterworks, sewerage,
electric lights, good school buildings or street rail
ways without a local issue. No county has ever
built roads worth while of any length without a
bond issue. No railroad was ever built without
a bond issue.
Yours for good roads, with a bond issue,
T. M. BOAZ.

Refers to League of Nations.
Our pledge in support of a League of
Nations was solemn and explicit. Con
gress approved, the whole country ap
plauded, the Allied nations confirmed, and
in the faith of the fellowship that would end
war 2,000,000,000 mothers sent their sons
to France.—George Creel.
Creel may be a muckraker, as some of his con
temporaries charge, but he has just made a speech
before a_ Republican club in which he has given
them solid warning that if they attempt to return
to their stand-pat platform they will rue the dav.
He analyzes and dissects the Presidential cam
paign which the Republicans won by 7,000,000
votes. It was a campaign to belittle' American
war accomplishments and appeals were made to
every racial hatred: attacks were made on our
industrial peace; railroads were promised higher
rates and. encouraged in their sense of injury and
cajoled with promises: they were won over by the
cry that “labor will be put back in its place.”
"So the campaign was fought and so the cam
paign was won.” asserted Creel.
Today we find factories .closing, farmers des
perate, wholesale unemployment, general wage
cutting and no market for our raw materials. Is
any one so blind as not to see that these con
trasts are already being painted in the minds of
the people? Of a truth, before 1924 has been
