Lloyd George is one George who doesn’t ask the other one to do it — Don’t fail to take advantage of The Citizen’s October bargain sale. Credit System Wrong. The Fort Valley Leader-Tribune, under the head: "The Bane of Our Business System,” proves, with points well taken, that it would be the par. of wisdom for the South to put its business on a cash basis. The Leader-Tribune’s editorial stress es the futility of the credit system, and proves that instead of its being a favor to the customer to permit his account to run interminably, the customer is really paying dearly for the privilege. Slow accounts naturally make the business man’s overhead needlessly high, and this overhead must be taken care of. It finally is absorbed in the price to the consumer. Usually the same price applies for credit transactions as for cash sales, and this of course encourages laxity in payment. Oftentimes a customer has an article charged when he has more than the amount needed to pay for it lying idle in his checking account. The money in the bank is bringing him no interest, but it is were used to pay the merchant it could in turn earn a cash discount, and, in continuance of its cycle, warrant a lower retail price being placed on goods for this same customer and his neigh- bars. There should y be a difference in cash and credit prices, and it has been shown by the “cash and carry stores” that large numbers are in position to pay cash when it is to their advantage to do so. The credit system is wrong. It not only in creases the trouble and expense of those who con duct their afFairs on the credit basis, but, to a degree, it raises the cost of living for every in dividual who endeavors to pay his way in the worl<£ Only the dead-beat profits by long-car ried accounts. When a woman begins to wear the “britches” she ought to begin to pay the bills. The Dixie Highway between Dalton and Chat tanooga is beginning to look like a road. Tommyrot Watson says he is as guilty as Debs. Granted, but he is also a darned sight crazier. It doesn’t make any difference what one does, >ne must think if the thing is to be correctly done. “The mails must be protected,” says the post- naster-general. They ought also to be delivered. Columbus Ga., has voted overwhelmingly for ommission government. Dalton will eventually la the same thing. If the fair officials can’t do any better they ight employ the city council as an amusement ature for fair week. Speaking of departed odors and glories met a ellow the other day loaded ,up on Sen-Sen—that nd nothing more. Work for the Man. If you work for a man, in heaven’s name ' work for him. If he pays wages that supply you bread and butter, work for him, speak well of him, stand by him, and stand by the in stitution he represents. I think if I worked for a man I would work for him. I would not work for him a part of his time, but *11 of his time. I would give an undivided service or none. If put to a pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must villify, condemn and eternajjy disparage, why, resign your position, and when you are out side damn to your heart’s content. But I pray vou, so long as you are a part of an institu tion, do not condemn it. Not that you will iniure the institution—not that—-but when you disparage the concern, of which you are a part, you disparage yourself.—Elbert Hubbard. P These words of the late Elbert Hubbard ought to be read to every union laborer in the land till he could himself repeat them. It might help change the present attitude of un- Do vou hear of the union in this age that studies and discusses among the members how it may increase output and reduce cosst? Does any of these think of a way to strengthen the concern for. which they are working. Is it not alwavs more wages and shorter hours t— As^The Citizen. C has before stated, labor unions e their own worst enemies. They have become structive powers instead of constructive. They ot and plan against the institutions they are orally bound to serve as employes. This is here their high-powered and high-salaried offi- irs have led them. It is not yet possible to be- ;ve that the rank and file of union labor is one- nth as rank and radical as the ^cts of its leaders ould seem to indicate, yet the atrocities com- itted by strikers along the line of the A., B. & A. ailway stand as a terrible indictment against ie railroad unions. People in this country have a right to work, hether they belong to unions or not, and no or- inization of union men has a right to intimidate, ackmail and murder them for exercising this ght. Such acts as these are the outstanding feat- *es damning unionism. And did you ever hear ! union leaders or officials denouncing the lawless :ts of union men ? Elbert Hubbard was right If a man works for aother man he ought to work for him, and he agM to be paid a fair wage for his work, and » also ought to be treated as a gentleman. And . turn he should treat others as gentlemen. All Should Observe Simple Health Rules. One of the biggest things in the world is health,. and sometimes we feel that least is done to con serve it Without health a man is not fitted for the duties and responsibilities of life in any form. He ma ydrag through the ’world some way, and achieve something worth while, but he will have done it against great odds. People are largely responsible for. the condi tion of their health, yet not altogether blamable, because of their ignorance of the simplest rules pertaining to dietetics.. Knowing what to feat and when to eat it is a prime essential to good health and contentment, and these mean success in what ever line of endeavor one may engage. A slave to one kind of food is to be pitied the same as one who is a slave to a dangerous drug. If persisted in both will eventually prove fatal. Health rules are. simple and easily followed, yet how few of us follow them. The average person overeats, is underexercised, breathes scan tily and swallows too many pills. Dr. Royal S. Copeland, commissioner of health, New York City, is a most interesting writer on health subjects. In an article in The Macon Tele graph under the head, “What Every Schoolchild Really Ought to Know and Do,” he says: Vacation is over and you .boys and girls are back in school. Plans for the year have been made. “Conditions” have been removed and you have begun the term with “clean slates.” Have you outlined your health plan? Have you resolved to make this year mean more in the development of your body than any other year has meant? Education will fail if your body fails. To succeed you must have a sound mind in a sound body. There is a good institution known as the, Child Health Organization of America. This differs from most corporations. It was not founded to make money, in order that it may declare cash dividends. It sells no stock. It does not ask you to subscribe for anything. Yet this corporation has undertaken to endow you with greater wealth than any financier couId\possibly give. It seeks to improve your health, to build up your body, and to give you such a physical foundation as will guarantee for you the possibility of useful service through a long lifetime. This organization has presented certain rules for health. The first of these is insist ence on a full bath more than once a week. Unless your skin is active your kidneys are called upon to do more than they are equipped to do. Their function is so delicate and so vitally necessary that any long-continued and undue demands upon them will do harm. Per manent damage to the kidneys may result from habitual uncleanliness of the skin. Your teeth must be brushed at least once every day. Good digestion depends on the thorough chewing of your food. Such action is impossible if your teeth are full of cavities and painfully tender, as they may be if -not given attention every few months. More than this, the teeth may become the direct means of giving you disease. When your teeth decay the pus germs may work -iheir way through the root of the tooth into your jaw. A “blind” abscess forms, and very soon you will be absorbing this vile and poi sonous material. % It should be your pride to save^gvery tooth and to keep them all white and glistening. You should sleep many hours and always with the windows open. Rest and fresh air are Nature’s ways of restoring your energy j and building up your body. If you want a strong body and a glowing skin you must ob serve this rule. Milk is the universal and perfect food. It is a pity that some boys and girls think it is ‘‘babyish” to drink milk. I am sorry, because if I had my way every child and every young man and woman would drink a quart of milk every day. No resolution can be better than the resolution to drink milk at each meal. Milk should be taken to the exclusion of tea and coffee. Growing boys and girls are better off without them: I know no serious objection to a reason able use of meat, but I think you children should eat friut and vegetables in larger amounts. They contain the vitamines, the growing elements of food. You will learn to like salads, and will gladly eat these good things now that you know why they are need ed by your body. Water is the universal solvent. It is needed in large quantities to dilute the wastes, to carry to all the tissues the soluble minerals and to replenish the blood. You need at least four glasses of water every day. Out-of-door life is essential to good health. It is a temptation in stormy weather and cold days to stay indoors. City children, especially, do too much of their playing inside the house. You ought to go outdoors every day the,weath er isn’t bad. Not a day should pass without several hours in the open air. These seven suggestions cover the essential things which will promote health and nrovide strong bodies. I hope every boy and girl reading this article will follow this advice. There is no real cure for stealing except the chaingang, and it generally lasts only so long as the thief stays there. The Koo-klucks are having rather hard sledding according to the Commerce Observer. But wasn’t it easy when suckers were biting off §10.00 worth at a time? Death of Mr. Hardwick. The death of Mr. Frank T. Hardwick removes from the business interests of Dalton one of its most conspicuous figures. He was Connected with nearly every manufacturing industry in Dalton, either as a stockholder or an active official. He was a man of action, who devoted his entire time and talents to business. He was a worker who abhored the loafer and looked, upon wilful idleness as a menace to society and business. He was a man of abstemious habits and clean in his moral relationships. There was nothing hypocritical about him. He was always in the open—loyal to his friends while he gave no quar ter to his enemies. Aside from his manifold interests in Dalton he was connected with several successful enterprises in Chattanooga. As a business adviser and counsellor he was a success, as is evidenced by the thrift of the bus iness enterprises to which he was joined. Any man who gave evidence that he was willing to work, honest, and who possessed the element^ of success, could count on encouragement and help from Mr. Hardwick. Hp will be greatly missed in Dalton, where for nearly fifty years he was prominently identified with its business and social interests. History That Should Be Remembered. The Citizen presents below two editorials one from the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, and the other from the Cordele Dispatch, dealing with the law less situation in this state. That the cunning organizers of the Ku-Klux Elan took advantage of the situation is not to be doubted by those in this state who are familiar with recent history. Tom Watson, the most infamous scoundrel who ever appealed to religious and race prejudices, has been fanning the flames of intolerance and big otry in this state for several years,, and the people are now gathering in the* dragons’ teeth distrib uted by him. Under the heading, “As We Have Sown, So Are We Reaping,” the Enquirer-Sun writes some worth while history as follows: At last, Atlanta’s three daily newspapers are waking up to the grave danger that threatens their city from a set of cheap politicians and secret order grafters, overplaying the religious bigotry racket. They seem to have come to a sudden realization of the facts that the whole miserable bsuiness—which they have winked- at and acquiesced, in for years—is about to blow up and do their town, as well as them selves a lot of injury; possibly someting akin to the race war that broke-out there some years ago, or the anti-Jewish agitation that swept the town, as well as the state of Geor gia, some six years ago, except that, this time, the victims would be the Catholics. Naturally enough it hasn’t helped Atlanta very much to be advertised throughout the country as the very hot-bed of religious and racial prejudice—though a lot of cheap-skate politicians and people who have never been able to make much of 9 living at anything else have unquestionably made it so—so that it was about time for Atlanta’s newspapers to begin to throw a little water on the fire, if they were ever going to do so. Hence it was that they all spoke at once, . and all to the same purpose that this reli gious persecution must atop “because it is ad vertising Atlanta tp the world in an unfavor able light;” that, in fact, Atlanta was about to lose some big business enterprises, because they would not force their organizations to live in such a hot-bed -of religious hatred. Not a word—until the woods were on fire, Not a word against it because it was wrong and cowardly and.contemptible in itself. Not a word—until now—in defense of the few thousand Catholic-and Jewish citizens of At lanta who had the right to live there unmo lested. so long as thev obeyed the laws, and to worship God according tb the dictates of their own conscience; not a word until some of these good citizens, unable to stand so much abuse and injustice any. longer, were about to pack up and leave Atlanta for good. The thing had simply reached a point where it was “hurting Atlanta,” where the top was about to blow-off, and so the three Atlanta newspapers acted in concert in calling a halt; albeit some were much milder and more dis creet than others in voicing their protest against the infamous practices of their noto riously cheap politicians and secret order grafters. We could almost see the heads of Atlanta’s three dailies getting together on such a pro gram—for where all act in concert none is so apt to get hurt. At least they can afford to take their chances. However, it is only fair in this connection to r say that the Georgian and American has, as usual, acted with the greatest boldness and aggressiveness; for it has not only denounced and exposed some of the professional trouble- b-eeders bv name, as well as the whole anti- Catholic crusade in general, but has joined with The Enqinrer-S'in in presenting to the people of Georgia the New York World’s amaz ing exnose of the infamous and cowardly Ku- Klux Klan. one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated upon the American public. With the Enquire~-Sun’s very much smaller circulation, the best it could hope to do was to expose this miserable fraud in Columbus and the territory in Georgia and Alabama, for the most part, immediately contiguous to Co lumbus; so that it is with the greatest satis faction and encouragement that we we'cnme the Georgian and American into the field, which can but mean that the unvarnished truth about this potentiallv criminal organization will he made known throughout four or five South ern states to all who wish to know the truth. And we are bound to say that it was a big thing in the Georgian and American to do this; a very big thing, in fact, for the Hearst papers to take up the fight of a competitor, the New York World, and recognize in its expose of the Ku-Klux Klan a work in which all right- minded newspapers should join. When all newsnar>ers in America shall attain to this standard, then, indeed, will the press of the country be an influence for good and a power agaiiist evil. It is just here that Georgia suffers, as do most states, for that matter; and the truth may as well be told, no matter whom it hits. Take for instance the very thing against which our three Atlanta contemporaries cry out in alarm today—religious intolerance run mad. It is not the growth of a day or a.year. It has been fed and fostered these many years in Georgia, and we all know whv and by whom; we know who has been its chief apos tle and how much he has profited by it, both - financially and politically. We have known that negro-baiting, Jew- baiting and Catholic-baiting have constituted his chief stock in trade, and that he has alter nately cashed-in on all of it. And we have all known, too, that he wasn’t sincere in any of it; that he was simply play ing a game, and playing it for all it was worth —until his Coffers were well-filled and he, fi nally, through a political “flare-back,” attained iy seat in the United States senate. But how many newspapers in Georgia raised a voice against him? How many tried to offset his devilish work when, some, six years ago, he left-off abusing Catholics long enough to set the mob on the Jews of Georgia and openly advocated that the mob “get” Gov ernor Slaton, as well? When the state was being set on fire by this red-headed and red-handed fire-brand how many Georgia newspapers even came forward with so much as a sprinkling pot to try, to put-out the fire? We refer to these matters at this time for this reason: It was right then and there that the so-called “modern” Ku-Klux Klan was born—chartered and instituted in the state of Georgia. And why not? Hadn’t Tom-Watson dem onstrated what could be done with the “mob spirit” in this one state alone, when properly and persistently exploited? Why shouldn’t one William Joseph Simmons, a trained secret-order organizer and something of an exhorter as well, cash-in on it by giving it a name and a ritual? And he did this very thing—in the year 1915-16, when the State of Georgia was aflame with the anti-Frank fever. Of course, he couldn’t do a great deal all by himself, so he employed others of the same ilk to join with him in “selling” religious preju dice to all who would buy it at §10 a head; or racial prejudice to others at the same price —with a mask and hood and shroud, atid “imperial” permission to wear them and ma raud in them all thrown in for $6.50 extra. How many Georgia newspapers hit that in famous fraud in the eyes as soon as it raised its hooded head in this state? We-can recall but a few besides The Enquirer-Sun—and they the smaller ones—such clean and independent sheet as The Dalton Citizen, the Cordele Dis patch, the Albany Herald, the Savannah Press, the Madisonian, the LaGrange Reporter, and, perhaps, a few others. The larger dailies kept discreetly silent—until they could keep silent no longer, because hell was about to break loose in their own town. And they hadn’t said one word to stop it. What a record that would be to confront them! That’s the plain story of what has been go ing on in Georgia all these years; not the whole story—for the details of all the political perfidy and journalistic cowardice, or commer cialism, as you prefer, that have played a part in »t would fill a book—but enough of it to show how it. all happened. First, with Tom Watson—for personal profit and political power—making religious bigot ry popular in Georgia. For years he has kept it up, and cheap politicians fell in line with it for whatever they could-get out of it. while weak-kneed npwspaners were afraid to buck it through fear they might lose subscribers. Day in and day out, week after week, and month after month, from year to year, the seeds of religious intolerance of racial hatred and of class prejudice have been sown here there and everywhere throughout Georgia. We have seen these sowers go forth to sow, and we have known what they were sowing and why they sowed—all for the miserable lit tle political places and power that they got out of it—but few have had the manhood and courage to try to stay their devilish work. Well, we. are reaping today the things that these conscienceless creatures have sown; ra cial hatred, religious persecution,, a state fairly seething with bigotry and prejudice, Georgia’s very name a by-word throughout the nation —until even Atlanta’s three newspape.s at last speak out in protest against the folly and in famy and danger of it all,because it has reach ed the point of “hurting their town.” ' And what is it all about? Why, simply that there are about 22,000 Catholics, men, women and children, trying to live in Georgia among a total population of nearly 3,000 000. It migh seem that this very ^numerical dif ference would prompt brave anl honest men to demand fairplay for people so greatly out numbered; but it has. of course, the very op posite effect on people who wear masks and hoods to conceal their identity from decent men and women—their greatest act of brav ery being to do in concert and under conceal ment what they would not dare do individual ly or in the open. Under the head, “We Are Reaping Now” the Cordele Dispatch adds another chapter which is Loth interesting and true: Georgia doubled on her after-the-war inher itances from crime and crime waves by turn ing many of the ills into political capital. So Georgia today is hearing from such other crops of sins as the Ku-Klux Klan the Veazy law enforcement—and the dynamiters of trains. These are doing their worst in shock ing crime and lawlessness of various forms. Tffis state is reaping what has been sown. It will continue to do so as long as The state is in the power of unsafe leaders,Vmen who believe in the quart of moonshine liquor, the bull dog pistol and the poker game: So far as the general public is being led to under stand from, various movements of public offi cials, not one thing is being done or has been done to bring us out of it. Watson disclaims connection with the Ku- Klux after he sees what is going to become of this* preposterous monstrosity for a civilized community. Hardwick disclaims connection with or responsibility for such an organiza tion. and yet came into his office through the very atmosphere of this thing. It was so strong with the stench that only yesterday the gov ernor of this proud state had to write some body away up in the moonshine country that the Veazy law was being enforced in Savan nah. The Veazv law. be it known is Watson’s ♦idea of humiliating Georgia’s Catholic denom inations, a measure which he daddied and had passed upon the prejudices he had stirred against the Catholic church. It is still one of the rotten agencies through which he secures votes from the rural sections of Georgia where many people read nothing but what he writes. Here is the governo- having to advise those who pinned their faith to this preposterous and woefullv unfair religious persecution with their votes for Watson—having to advise them that the Veazy law is being enforced in Sa vannah. And it isn’t if there is a citizen who resnects himself who could prevent it. And in Atlanta out went a-woman teacher who had served her cominunitv twenty years as faithfully as she could until Watson and Hardwick’s friends came along building strength on anti-Catholic sentiment. The gut ter snipes, who took advantaee of the situa tion to have this veteran ousted from her place are not worthy to SDeak her name, so foul and utterly black is their aim and ambition. The Atlanta fight on the Catholics today is a Watson outcroDDing pure and simple. It is the state’s erving shame. One day decent Georgians will rise up and resent this tvpe of politics. We are reaping now as Watson has sown and the state is suffering revolting crime and utter wantonness as a result. The crime that has been committed against the pronerty and the lives of the employees of the A. B. & A. Railroad could not have been committed under anv other regime. Advantage of the political situation is being taken over and over again. Criminals do not heh’eve crime will he mm.ished in Georgia. W» are rearing. We will continue rearing till re- snertful order-loving Georgians form new res olutions and march out firmly for the relief we so much need. , The railroad emploves threatening to strike no doubt could get some valuable information bv con ferring with the printers who struck May 1st. and are still out of work while the shops have all the help they need. The Steady Subscriber. Here is Another tribute to the “Steady subscrib er, who pays in advance ” which—was handed to us by a friend and well-wisher. In this connection we wish to state that The Cit izen has a large number of “steady subscribers, who pay in advance,” and the number is grow ing a most satisfactory manner. The verses follow: How dear to our heart is the steady subscriber, Who pays in advance of the birth of each year, Who lays down the money and does it quite gladly, And casts round the office a halo of cheer. He never says, “Stop it; I canot afford it, I’m getting more magazines now than I read; But always says, “Send it; our people all like it— In fact we all think it a help and a need.” How welcome his check when it reaches our sanc tum; How it makes our pulse throb; how it makes our heart dance! We outwardly thank him; we.inwardly bless him— The steady subscriber who pays in advance. ♦ CLIPPINGS AND COMMENTS ♦ ♦ Why do some of the country editors con tinue to spell NICKEL wrong?—Alpharetta Free Press. Unfamiliarity with it is our first guess. It was promised by President Harding that me office of vice-president should be magni-’ fled. We have a faint recollection of a man named Coolidge being elected to that office.— Augusta Chronicle. And he has been on the cooler ever since he was elected. The papers of Northeast Georgia are well nigh unanimous for Hon. Gordon Lee for gov ernor.—Alpharetta Free Press. And it is, the same way over here in Northwest Georgia and it would not surprise us to see it get that way all over Georgia. Converting our corn into pork will be far more profitable to us as a people and as a coun try than converting it Into liquor.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun. True, but the trouble is more people seem to like corn liquor better than they do pork. How ever prices on both ‘’commodities” are way down now.
