DALTON, GEORGA, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1921
The Georgia editors are having a big time in
Washington, Ga., this week.
Dempsey says he will not fight Jack Johnson.
Well, that’s that much in'his favor.
If it were not for the demagogues and politicians,
conditions would be better in this country.
Georgia and Mississippi in the Lead.
There were thirty-six lynchings in the United
States in the first six months of this year, nine
of them in Georgia and ten in Mississippi, these
being the two highest states.
The record this year is a bad one. Only eleven
of those lynched were charged with the crime of
rape.
Of those lynched, two were whites and thirty-
four were negroes, two of the latter being women.
The states in which lynchings occurred and the
number in each state are as follows: Alabama,
one; Arkansas, four; Florida, four; Georgia, nine;
Kentucky, one; Louisiana, two; Mississippi, ten;
Missouri, one; North Carolina, two; South Caro
lina, one; Tennessee, one.
“The republicans are getting nowhere,” says
Senator McKellar. Oh, yes they are. They are
getting in a hole.
Johnny Spencer says he despises hammocks.
Well, we just haven’t the heart to blame it on
them. We have always found that the trouble was
either with us or the other party—generally the
latter.
Learn to Swim.
While the reformers are about it, why have
none of them tried to have a lav? passed re
quiring all persons eight years old and over
to learn to swim? There’s a great deal more
to justify such a law than there is to justify
some others on the statute books.—Albany ,
Herald.
It would indeed be wiser to have laws forcing
all persons to learn to swim than the foolish regu
lations regarding women’s clothes. While we do
not advocate burdening the statute books with
swimming laws, we do bellieve the art of swim
ming is an essential part of education, and every
child should be taught tot swim.
Nearly every day the papers bring before us
instances of lives lost because persons could not
swim. No one knows when an accident wil hap
pen that will cause his safety to hinge on his
knowing how to keep his head above water.
Some towns haven’t places where beginners can
learn to swim without danger, but those towns
that have safe pools are adding a splendid oppor
tunity to their children’s other advantages.
Freight and passenger rates ought to come down
at once. Wages have been reduced and the gov
ernment has agreed to pass another $500,000,000 to
the railroads.
Those people who used to confidentially tell
their friends the republicans could beat the dem
ocrats running the government, are unusually
quiet just now.
Our government may think Americans are pa
triotic, but it evidently doesn’t think they are hon
est, the way it haggles and insinuates in regard
to income tax returns.
For the first six months of this year Mississippi
beat Georgia’s lynching-record by one. When it
is considered that Georgia is the home state of
the ku klux this is not so bad.
State Income Tax.
The proposition sponsored by Governor Hard
wick to pass an income tax law in Georgia will
not meet with any great degree of popular favor
among business, people. About all the income
tax the business people can stand is now levied
by the federal government. And added to the tax,
which is exactly the same as it was when the ar
mistice was signed in November, 1918, the bureau
crats in Washington harass and nag business by
their interminable lists of questions and foolish
demands. These bureaucrats seem to assume that
anybody who has anything to do with making out
income tax blanks is a thief and a perjurer.
When a man or a firm has employed a certified
public accountant to make a truthful and fair re
turn on a blank form as puzzling as it is unnec
essary, the affair is not ended. The main trouble
is only beginning. The questionnaires from four
to forty-eight pages, begin to come piling in, and
valuable' time is wasted, and money is spent in
doing obviously useless, as well as foolish things.
The expense of-all these elaborate questionnaires
comes out of the taxpayers, and it is an amount
of no small proportions.
We have cited the above facts as a means of
showing just why the income tax proposition is
not going to meet with favor in Georgia. The
people despise the very thought of it, and they
have a right to.
We are willing to agree with the governor that
the ad valorem tax system is antiquated and worn
out, but at the same time we believe it will be bet
ter to get away from it gradually. A sudden
change might prove too severe a shock.
The state of course must raise enough money to
meet the ever increasing obligations to its various
institutions and enterprises, but it will have no
trouble doing this if it will bring the tax dodgers
to taw, and go after the invisible property that
always has escaped the tax collector.
A just taxing system has never yet been devised,
and one may never be, but a better one than
Georgia now has ough to be, and if the legislature
now in session fails to measure up to the duties
plainly before it the state and its institutions will
suffer.
Refuses to Capitalize Patriotism.
The world honors the man who stands by his
convictions, even if it sometimes doubts the wis
dom of them.
Alvin C. York, the American hero who distin
guished himself in the world war, is all but ■'broke,
and stands to lose his farm, because of a crop
failure and a mortgage—the latter being the real
causes
He could easily lift the mortgage and put money
in the bank if he would go on the lecture plat
form or enter the movie world. He will do neither.
He refuses to capitalize his patriotism, and this
is puzzling to the materialists who put the dollar
ahead of everything else in this world.
Call him a fool if you will, but is he?
A man of the Bill Bryan type would in all prob
ability answer in the affirmative, and if he didn’t
he would act the part more convincingly than if
he spoke.
Think of the wide gulf separating Clara Smith
Hamon, who murdered her paramour, and Alvin
C. York. The former is entering the movies, and
in so doing is preparing’to capitalize not only
-her shame, but will flaunt her prostitution in the
faces of the American people.
There are many who cannot understand Alvin
C. York, but there are none who cannot under
stand Clara Smith Hamon.
The Citizen prints herewith the full press dis
patch from Pall Mall, Tenn., the home of Lieu
tenant York, in which is stated the present status
of the hero of the world war:
If you were living on one of the finest farms
in Tennessee—
If you had a wife and three-months-old
baby dependent upon you—
If you faced losing your farm through fore
closure of a $12,500 mortgage—
AND—
You were the greatest hero of the world
war—
AND— ~ v
You could make possibly enough to pay off
the mortgage merely by showing yourself in
public—
That is the question that Sergeant Alvin C.
York has to face. His answer is “No.” He
will not commercialize his patriotism. His
sense of obligation to his country and his re
ligious scruples prevent.
“I would rather lose my farm, and go back
to work upon it as a day laborer, than to com
mercialize the fame which was only incidental
to an act of Providence,” he says.
That act of Providence made the red-headed
sergeant famous as the war’s greatest hero,
not only throughout America, but in every
allied country.- On October 18, 1918, in the
Argonne Forest, York single-handed killed 25
Germans, put out of commission 35 machine
guns and marched into camp 132 German cap
tives, including a major and three lieutenants.
For his feat, he woyi the congressional medal
of honor and the Croix de Guerre, pinned on
by Marshall Foch himself.' *
Spurning movie and vaudeville offers that
would have made him rich, he came back to
his mother’s hillside farm and took up the hoe.
A short time later he married a girl of the
neighborhood. Friends and admirers picked
out a farm for him almost directly across the
road from the farm of his mother, and paid
$11,235 on it through popular subscription.
For a time things moved serenely. York,
whose sole ambition has been to own a home
in his Tennessee mountains, farm his own
land, hunt the foxes that roamed the hills and
show true hospitality to the strangers who
passed his door, was wholly content.
A little later Alvin C., Jr., came and life
seemed even more worth living.
But such good fortune was not to last.
Crops were a big disappointment. Farm
products brought exceptionally low prices.
Taxes reached an unprecedented high figure.
With the $12,500 mortgage for the balance
on his farm due this fall, things went from
had to worse. A $250 grocery bill accumulated
and the grocer feels unable to extend much
more credit. ' ,
York is toiling from “kin to kant”-—from
earliest break of day to the last lingering of
light—to prevent his life’s dream from being
shattered. But it looks like a vain task.
“Religious faith sustained me in my danger
and removed my fear,” he says. “I was only
a pawn in the hands of Providence. Any
credit that is due for my achievements should
go to the Lord. For me to attempt to take
any credit personally would be a great wrong.
“But He will see me through.”
When preachers and judges go to fighting it is
about time for us laymen to take to the woods.
Ernest Camp is proving more and more versatile.
His Negro Narratives are well written and inter
esting. It seems Camp is-a combination editor,
poet and short-story writer, and we admire his
ability and enjoy his flights of fancy.
Speaking of Browbeating.
While Brother Bill BifFem, of the Savannah
Press, is never supposed to be serious, he tells a
lot of serious truth in the following lines:
In New York and South Carolina very bad
men are electrocuted for their crimes. They
take a seat in the electric chair. In the courts
of other states they have the witness chair,
where men who do wrong are given a thor
ough roasting by lawyers who want to im
press jurors with the fact that all men are
liars and most men have something hidden in
the records of their lives that will not bear
the scrutiny of their fellow men. The witness
gets the idea that he is the culprit and gets on
the defensive right away. It is an awful thing
to be a witness. That is why so many folks
refuse to give their names when they see an
accident or hurry away before the cops arrive
when there is a shooting scrape. We think
there should be organized an order for the
protection of men who are compelled to sit
in the witness chair. The lawyers have their
organizations, so why shouldn’t the witnesses
be allowed to form a union? They could de
clare against less brow-beating, fewer insinua
tions, more gentlemanly conduct on the part
of the legal profession and the breaking up of
the idea that every man who goes upon the
witness stand does so, not with the idea of
telling the truth, but with a view of lying,
unless the truth is literally yanked out of him
by a member of the legal profession.
Gasoline will be like the frog that jumped two
feet and fell back one, if right after a two-cent
reduction in price the state taxes gasoline one
cent a gallon. Because 'automobile users ride, the
state thinks it is proper for them to be ridden.
Dr. Charles Russ claims a new discovery, viz.,
a ray of force from the human eye that sets things
in motion. Suppose Charles discovered this when
at the jam-stealing age he saw coming from his
mommer’s eye a ray of force that made him move.
Here Is the Ideal Location.
The Baptists of Georgia, in extending their edu
cational facilities, will in all probability establish
a secondary school in the northwestern part of
the state, in order to serve the ever-growing need
of boys and girls of this section who seek to be
well educated.
Dalton wants this school. We want it, not for
the selfish reason that it will bring more business
and more money to the town, but because we feel
that it would be advantageous to the greatest num
ber of the school’s prospective students for the
school to be located in such a town as we have.
. Dalton is located on two trunk railroads, and
this would prove a great convenience and point
of economy for the pupils the school will draw
from surrounding towns. Dalton has ideal cli
mate, situated as it is among the mountains that
prove a protector from winter winds and summer
cyclones. Dalton has splendid churches whose
influence permeates every part of the town. It
has a cultured citizenry with whom it will prove
a pleasure for the bom-ding students to mingle.
The town has a splendid automobile fire engine
and a waterworks that supplies constant pressure,
which would make the property investment of the
Baptist school safe, and enable it to be covered
with insurance at low rates. It has a low death
rate, and the records show that it .is practically
free from epidemics. All in all, Dalton can offer
many good resons why a people looking for the
best place to establish a preparatory school should
select this as an ideal location.
It is hoped to build this school alon^the same
general lines as the Locust Grove school that has
proved so successful, making its curriculum high
so that its graduates will have sufficient points to
enable them to enter Sophomore classes at col
lege. There are twelve Baptist secondary schools
in the state, but the needs are growing and more
are going to be built.
We urge the Baptist people to consider Dalton’s
advantages, as we feel sure here is the ideal loca
tion for this school.
Dr. Josiah Crudup, pastor of the First Baptist
church of this city, is a member of the committee
which will decide the question, and it will be well
for Dalton’s enterprising citizens to confer and
cooperate with Dr. Crudup in his efforts to locate
this splendid institution in Dalton, the centrally
located city of northwest Georgia.
Walker county, our neighbor to the west, has
voted a $400,000 bond issue for good roads. Whit
field county is entirely surrounded by counties
determined to build good roads. There is nothing
to be gained by our playing Rip Van Winkle any
longer.
If “Madame Monte Cristo,” who is reputed to
have an annual income of only $80,000,000, con
tinues to spend as she did' in Paris $5,000,000 every
three week’s what’s.she going to do the last four
weeks of each year? Rim on a deficit like town
ships, telephone .companies, etc.?
When the X-ray which enables shoe-salesmen
to determine whether or not shoes are too short
or too narrow for their customers is in general
use, the millennium will be about ten leagues near
er, because there have been more dispositions
ruined and pleasant days spoiled by shoes that
pinch than by any other of the “minor evils.”

News dispatches state that pirates are again
operating on the seas. Yep, and they are
still busy on dry land, too.—Walton Tribune.
You said a mouth full, Brother Camp.
“Some folks,” says the Rittle Rock Gazette,
“are shocked at the sight of legs.”- Lessee you
name one of ’em.—Macon Telegraph.
And those who appear to be most shocked are
generally the biggest hypocrites.
The pulse of Napoleon the Great beat only
fifty times a minute.—Rome Tribune-Herald.
That’s what we have heard, and it may be the
reason he came so near beating the fire out of all
Europe.
Well, the republicans are making a misera
ble failure of running the government. But
what else did you expect?—Greensboro Her
ald-Journal.
Why, a lot of boobs expected to be floating
around in milk and honey, and not a few expected
to be getting fifty cents a pound for their cotton.
Some citizens say they can tell how their
garden is progressing by watching their neigh
bor’s chickens fattening up.—Manchester Mer
cury.
Come to think of it, that is a fairly good barom
eter. v
Lenine, according to a news dispatch, has
arrested Trotzky. Now if Trotzky will return
the compliment by arresting Lenine, and then
both be sent to Liberia, maybe Russia will be
able to get along as well as she has been do
ing.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
In this case each should prove a Frankenstein
to the other.
“Within the past few years,” says the New
York Evening Post, “there has been a striking
increase in the number of nut stores in New
York and, presumably, elsewhere. What does
it mean?” We’ll bite. What does it mean?—
Macon Telegraph.
Maybe, Johnny, it means there are more squir
rels in Central Park,
Dalton apparently enjoyed a Gee-lorious
Fourth. Right around that city is plenty of
the thing that makes everything look glorious.
—Rome Tribune-Herald.
Oh, no. Dalton is not in the moonshine belt,
but even that is preferable to being in the synthetic
belt where they make it out of red devil lye and
stable refuse.
It is very evident that the so-called emer
gency tariff bill will not open any markets to
American products, but will in reality close
them up. Congress has preferred to tinker
with the tariff rather than to consider the act
of reducing taxation.—Savannah Press.
In other words, instead of a stimulant to bus
iness the emergency tariff is heading in the other
way.
Commenting on .the fact that there are no
newspaper men in the Georgia penitentiary,
Editor Pat Griffin, of Bainbridge, delivers him
self of the following emphatic and startling
effect: “No, buddy, tlje dear public had rather
keep the poor boob out and ride him to death.
No use to send him to the gang, as his punish
ment on the outside is sufficient to satisfy
society.” Well, Pat, we hadn’t thought of that.
—Walton Tribune.
Neither had we, but there is both humor and
truth in the statement
The Rome News is of the opinion that a man
of the Brandeis type for the United States su
preme bench would have been more to the
taste of such radicals as Johnson, Borah. La-
Follette and Watson. No doubt about it; Chief
Justice Taft is altogether too sane and decent-
minded for them to like. But isn’t it a good
thing that there are only four or five such po
tatoes in the United States senate?—Columbus
Enquirer-Sun.
Chief Justice Taft is all right, and the fact that
the small potatoes are after him, should be reason
for jubilation.
Governor doesn’t think the present taxing
system of Georgia , can. be altered and made to
fit our needs. He is of the opinion that a new
system will have to be created outright. We
have been of the same opinion for some time- ^
—Albany Herald.
So have we. The present taxing system is out
of date, and places the greatest burden on those
least able to pay. Practically all invisible prop
erty* escapes taxes, and this being true, makes the
tax rate too high on property reached by the tax
collector. If all paid their just proportion of taxfcs
nobody would have to pay too much.

♦ LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Knowing One Another.
To the Editor of The Dalton Citizen:
Some people think we will not know anybody
in heaven, and some think we will know every
body. Neither thought is sensible. Not to know
anybody would be to have far less intelligence
in heaven than we have on earth. To know every
body we would have to be suddenly endowed with
a knowledge that would cover the sweep of the
ages, and of the universe. The apostle declares,
“We shall know as we are known.” This is sen
sible. This is satisfying. This has the full sup
port of reason. This is how we know in this
world. All up and down the street are men and
women; but I don’t know them. I have never
seen their souls. There are a few people I khow.
I have seen their soiiU many times; and I would
know them anywhere in the universe/. It is the
soul that is gojng to heaven; so it must be the
soul that is known. It is’ the eyes of the soul that
must see and the ears of the soul that must hear.
Socrates drank, the hemlock hundreds upon hun
dreds of years ago, but he threw the likeness of
his soul across the unborn ages, and to the Soc
rates of today he is more real than the man in the
next house, and better known that the brother
after the flesh.
We know our own, and our own "know us. So,
we know and shall know as we are known. It is
a law of life that what is our own comes to us.
It is the spiritual ties that are imperishable. It
is the soul-relationship that binds forever. The
ties that have their origin in the blood were made
for this world. The ties that have their origin in
the depths of the soul were made for eternity.
It seems one mishtv joy of heaven would be find
ing our own of the ages and of the world.
JESSIE BAXTER SMITH.

Women Men Like.
The women whom men like are just average
women—just like the normal, every-day, honest-
to-God women. This may be contrary to general
belief, but if is just what you -would expect if
you stopped to think for a moment. Most men
run pretty close to the average. There are very
few things which sharply differentiate men from
each other. Their points of likeness are more
numerous than the things in which they differ.
We do not like to think that we are all pretty
much the same- Each one of us In his or her
heart of hearts thinks that he or she is different
from other people, for in the minds of most of us
being different is synonymous with being distin
guished, and all we want is being distinguished
in some way.
From the very beginning of time men have
sought after things which would serve to make
them appear to be different from other men, and
this search has had as its incentive their appre
ciation of the fact of their likeness.
All sorts of things have been made by man in
his attempt to create the illusion of difference.
He has. organized societies into the membership
of which but few people are admitted; he has
devised uniforms which but few may wear; he has
given bits of different colored ribbon, and rnen
h^ve been willing to risk death for the privileffp
of putting a bit of such ribbon in the buttonhole
of their coat; he has had medals and badges of all
kinds made and has taken delight in wearing them.
All of these things have had one purpose in com
mon, and that is to give objective manifestation
to man’s desire to appear different from other men
—which desire really emphasizes his recognition
of his similarity to other men.
To the extent that this desire governs the actions
of men. you might expect to find him admiring
and seeking to make his own the woman who was
different from other women, and right here he is
confronted by an insuperable obstacle—there are
very few such women, for women are just about
as much alike as are men. There are, of course,
many minor differences, but there are very few
major ones.
Since this fact of similarity holds good among
women as well as among men, and since, further,
man has this desire to appear distinguished by
seeming to be different from other men, he has
forever fooled himself into the belief that the
woman upon whom he has deigned to confer his
affection is different from and more distinguished
than other women, for if she is not both of these
then he has failed in his search for distinction,
because in admiring and marrying an ordinary
woman he has proclaimed to the world his own
mediocrity.
On the other hand, it is equally true that in his
search for differences among women man draws
a very sharp distinction between differences
which are desirable and those which are not de
sirable, looked at from the viewpoint of his pos
sible future possession of the woman who is in
some way different from the average of her sex.
The limits between which differences add to
the desirability of the one possessing them are
very restricted. This fact is particularly- mani
fest when the differences are objective—when
they are physical rather than mental and when
they are open for everyone to see. Even such
common differences as height and weight, if they
exceed certain restricted limits, cease to be con
sidered differences which merely distinguish and
become those which disfigure and consequently
detract from the desirability of the person marked
by them.
Even mental differences between normal people
are comapartively small. Most of us think pretty
much the same about most things. We do not
believe that this is so, but experience has dem
onstrated that even in their thinking men differ
mainly in just little things.
The result of all of which is that the woman
whom men like is not very much different from
other women. She does not possess exceptional
beauty, marked intelligence, scintillant wit nor
rare graces of character. She is just a woman—
a woman like our mothers, sisters, sweethearts
and wives, for these are women whom men have
liked.—Hammond, in Cincinnati Enquirer.

Curious Things^
Did you ever notice
This, by Ned:
A river’s mouth’s
Not in its head?
—The Dalton Citizen.
This is curious, too,
When you hear it sung:
That a wagon’s body
Is pulled by its tongue.
—Jim Jams, in Greensboro Herald-Journal.
And this, bo, too,
Is a curious case:
That a watch’s hands
Are right on its face.
The Proud Bird.
All hail to the American Agle!
Proud bird of freedom all hail!
The fowl which none can inveigle
Nur sprid salt on its bootyfull tail!
—Irishman in Manchester Mercury-
Here’s to dot American eagle!
’Twas he made de kaiser take pause;
He’s not such a muchness to look at,
But he bites so tamm hard mit his claws.
Those Women.
Mary had a little skirt.
The latest style, no doubt:
But every time she got inside
She was more than half way out.
—John R. Stratton.
Mary had a little waist.
She’d button it and pin it;
And every* time she put it on
She was more out than in it.
To the Proofreader.
When the proofreader leaves this vale here below,
And all of her labors are o’er;
When she lays down her pencil to mark ns more
proof,
Where, wmong fonts will trouble no more;
When St. Peter comes to give her a crown,
With jewels as bright as the dawn, ,.
She’ll say to the saint, “lay the bloomm tmnj

And go put the job number on.”
