: And now* a coal strike is threatened—one
strike scare after another.
The chilly November is here with its gray
days and somber shadows.
• Paris decrees that short skirts are to be worn
iio longer. -Well, now see if we care.
j It is our honest opinion that Senator Pat Har
rison, of Mississippi, is talking too much.
: All we gotta say about the weather is that
April showers are out o’ style in November.^
The Athens Daily News observes that when a
man gets tight his morals get loose, and that fast
living shortens fewer lives than fast fliwing.
j President Harding pulled a bone in his Birm
ingham speech. The race question is not getting
better as a result of such speech-making.
Barking Up the Wrong Tree.
Governor Hardwick is touring the state mak-
ing > speeches for the income tax bill, which he is
going to try to have passed at the next,session of
the legislature.
j Just how the legislature will look at, this propo
sition is hard to tell. If the bill is passed it will
be an endorsement of class legislation, and will
-■hot prove satisfactory. It can’t,
j The present ad-valorem system of taxation is
both fair and equitable, and has failed because
lit has not been properly enforced, or applied.
; The tax dodger has brought the law into dis
repute, but he has not destroyed the principle,
.'which is correct. Under the operation of the law,
all bear their proper part, of the tax burden, if
the provisions of the law are properly adminis
tered.
None of the state’s institutions would be half
■starved if it were not for the tax dodger. The
best thing, it would seem, would be to go after
.them, bring to light and to the tax books, the
;millions of,invisible property,'and Georgia will
regain her lost prestige, pay her school teachers
better salaries, and not half starve her pensioners,
-who frequently suffer real hardships because of
.the delays.in getting their money.
• The state institutions at Milledgevjlle, the Uni-
’versity at Athens, with its subsidiaries, and the
Georgia Tech at Atlanta are shamefully neglected.
It is no wonder that Georgia ranks so low in the
scale when it cbmes to education.
And the whole trouble is ’due to tax-dodging
and a low', vicious order of politics.
Governor Hardwick’s income tax proposition
will not effect a cure.
The consciences of the people must be awaken
ed to a point whe#e they will realize their re
sponsibilities to the present and future genera
tions.
An income tax bill -won’t, do the work, Gov
ernor!
It will take a soul-stirring revival!
If the president meant his Birmingham speech
to be a rebuke to those chesty New- England ne
groes who are talking and preaching social
equality, he would have been better-’off if he had
said so.' Simple directness is hard to beat.
The Columbia (S. C.) Record pertinently re
marks that “the trouble about defeating prohi
bition now is that we would have to defeat the
combined vote of the prohibitionists and boot
leggers.” Yea, verily. x
Cooperation and Right Prices.
If a town grows and its merchants prosper
all interests must work together in an effort to
bring the business to the town that legitimately
belongs to it. Local business must also be had by
the local merchants. Prices on merchandise must
be right; that is, the prices rriust not be higher
on the same goods than they are in other towns.
Such a condition will drive trade away quicker
than anything else. \
Somehow we feel that people, at least the great
majority of them, will trade at home if quality
and price are on the same level with neighboring
markets.
However, it w r as just a little while ago that w r e
saw a good sized crowd of-Dalton people buying
goods in a neighboring town, and when asked
why so much shopping away from home the re
ply was made that the prices on the same goods
“at home” were considerably higher than in the
city they were then patronizing so generously.
We understand of course that every commu
nity has people who just naturally send out of
town for everything they can get, and too fre
quently they pay'too little attention to the price.
They have the mail order habit, and deceive them
selves into believing that the merchandise they
buy away from home is better and cheaper than
the same goods in their home town. This is not
the way to build up your home town, but it is a
good way to make it stand still br.go backward.
The Worth County Local sets it down this
way—a mighty good sermon in a few words:
No town can presper where every business
man in it lives to himself. Merchants and
•business men of a town must co-operate with
: one another if they would hold the trade in
the territory that belongs to them. All busi-
j ness institutions and property owners of a
town to be permanently prosperous must be
' always working together to bring the trade
of the territory in their direction or else it
: will go elsewhere where more alluring in-
1 ducements are offered. Merchants of no
town of any importance should be without
an organization of their own. All business
institutions of a town besides a merchants
association should maintain a well organized
and well supported, chamber or board of
trade. As we said before and we will say
it again no town can prosper where every
business man lives to himself.
Deluged with Bootleg “Hootch.’
Atlanta and Rome are throwing their usual
periodic fits about the bootlegging “industry.”
When they are through the “industry,” will, in
all probability, still be thriving. And this is the
reason why: ‘-From investigations made,” says the
Atlanta Ghamber of Commerce grand jury, “we
are led to believe that the city’s most prominent
doctors, lawyers arid business men are patrons to
these liquor peddlers.” The charges of a number
of Rome people are equally as bold.
This country is deluged with rotten liquor, and
so long as there is a demand for it it will be
supplied, chaingang or no chaingang. There is
no use blinking the facts, and The Citizen doesn’t
propose to do it.
The Whitfield county chaingang is now full of
violators of the prohibition law, and yet if there
is any dimunition in the liquor traffic it is not
easily discernible.
It is true the traffic here is not as bad as it is
reported to be elsewhere, and this speaks well for
the people of this community, but we will hfere
state that if the demand for bootleg liquor were
greater it would be supplied just as it is every
where else., ■
Temperance is more a matter of education
than it is of law. Wholesale denunciation of
people who drink liquor, either in moderation or
excess, only tends to aggravate the question.
There is something in human nature that rebels
against compulsion, and when that compulsion
takes the form of fanaticism the rebellion is all
the more obstinate and determined.
Another thing about the enforcement of the
prohibition law is that it is too frequently in the
hands of officials who have no sympathy with it,
but are interested in their own * political prefer
ment and advancement. They become almost
tyrranous with their, enforcement program, and
thus do the cause much harm. This kind of
official is always known by the liquor law viola
tor, but too frequently is not known as he should
be, by the honest-to-goodness prohibitionists
whose votes he is seeking. Even a law violator
has respect for, and honors, after a fashion, a sin
cere and honest official, no matter how severe he
may be on him, but he abhors and detests the hy
pocritical pharisee, as he unctuously, proceeds
along his devious way, deceiving nobody but him
self and the unsophisticated who hold him, more
or less, in a sort of reverent awe.
The violation of the prohibition law is na
tion wide, and the officials at Washington know it,
and are in confusion at their helplessness.
Secretary Mellon of the treasury department
has issued an order that permits beer and light
wine to be used as medicine, and it may be that
this is the beginning of a return to sanity, for
it is a fact that with wine and beer obtainable
legally, rotten bootleg liquor would fast lose out
to the betterment of the people of this country.
Of course, where there are state prohibition
laws, as in Georgia, Secretary Mellon’s order, does
not apply. The sick will have to remain, sick,
get well or commit suicide by drinking potash
rum.
Maybe “Our Tom” is seeking to open the fed
eral penitentiaries so that he can have congenial
companionship, not being yet quite willing to
take the advice of Editor Loyless, and get in with
them.
Tom Watson is now after the state agricul
tural department. In this he is right, for if there
ever was a political machine in operation at the
expense of the tax payers it is Commissioner
Brown’s machine. The state is honey-combed
with petty sinecures who do nothing except to
feed at the public swill trough, rendering no
worth-while service to the people.
Settled or Postponed? Rate Reductions
Necessary.
Just how much of a settlement of the threaten
ed railroad strike .has been made by the railroad
laboi board does not yet appear. A great many
people are of the opinion that it is a postponement
of the evil day, and if this be true it would have
been better for the fight to have begun last Sun
day. It would not have lasted so very long, and
everybody knows what the result would have
been. The strike bosses knew themselves they
could not win the light, and that is exactly why
the strike was called off—that and nothing more.
Business in this country is suffering severely
on account of high freight rates. They are strang
ling industry, and are doing a big part in pre
venting the cost of living from descending to a
reasonable level. Without doubt they are also
hurting the -railroads more than anything else,
because they are blocking the return of business
to “normalcy.”
Freight and passenger rates are absurdly high.
As- an illustration of the unjust rates we will
here cite an example the writer himself witnessed.
A Dalton printer ordered a case of No. 10 com
mercial' envelopes from Cincinnati. When they
came in and the amount of the freight bill was
noticed attention was directed to the unreason
ableness of it. A thousand of the envelopes were
placed on postage scales, the Cincinnati zone was
located, and it was found that for only five cents
a thousand more, the envelopes could have been
mailed from Cincinnati to Dalton, thus making
passenger time. We simply use this as an illus
tration because it happened to fall under the ob
servation of the writer. No doubt this same ab
surdity in freight rates can be found applying to
all other lines of freight, or at least to many of
them.
Now the railroad executives say they can not
reduce rates without making another cut in wages,
which statement the general public is not going
to accept without at least a little salt. Coal is
down in price, steel and iron can be had at rea
sonable prices, and so can lumber. These reduc
tions, together with the twelve per cent wage re
duction of last July, must mean something to the
railroads in dollars and cents, and there is a feel
ing everywhere present that they should be trans
lated into freight and passenger rate reductions.
We believe the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion is going to order neefessary reductions in
these rates very soon. If the commission doesn’t
do it, it will merit the condemnation it will re
ceive from an outraged public.
The Citizen’s fight against Ku-Kluxism has
caused many people to send it expressions oi com
mendation, and to urge an even more vigorous
denouncement of this obvious fraud. The women,
too, are alert to the menace of the klan if its
hooded proceedures are not checked. A “rose-
in-the-mail,” from a Birmingham woman, said the
“Words of Praise” letter printed in last week’s
Citizen aptly expressed her sentiments. She was
also kind enough to say she was reading Citizen
editorials more closely than any others, with the
exception of the Birmingham Ne\vs. As the wife
of a Civitan she sent greetings to the Civitans
of Dalton.
“Our Tom” is going to have to prove some of
the lies he has been feeding the faithful. He re
peated in the senate Tuesday the -state slanders
he printed in his personal organ a year or two
ago, ’ to the effect that»soldiers were hung in
France without a trial, j Now “Our Tom” must
tell an investigating committee about it. In fact,
if he fails to prove his charges he will be in a
devil of a fix.

Sweet Summer Will Come Again.
Oh, the russet’s in the valleys
And the russets on the hills;
And a deeper music’s throbbing
In the laughter of the rills;
And the winds of Autumn roaming,
Softly sing o’er field and glen—
“Oh, let your hearts be not troubled—
Sweet summer will come again.”
Oh, the fields .of corn all ripened
Beautiful lie in the sun,
And the bright skies of October
Throw a glory on each one.
From the thicket comes a whistle,
Where nested robins and wren—
And the south winds still are singing,
“Sweet summer will come again.”
Oh, the hickories are yellow,
And the sumachs all are red;
And in browning fields and meadows,
Autumn’s flowers all are dead;
But the pines are softly singing—
Singing to the souls of men,
“Be not troubled. Be not doubtful—
Sweet summer will come again.”

Hi ^
Conservation of Energy.
The American people are at last waking up to
the realization that there has been enormous and
indefensible waste of our national resources of
coal, timber and lands.
But there is another source of waste of which
we desire to speak.
It is a waste, that impoverishes every farming
section, weakens every village, is a drain upon
every city. It causes a loss greater than any pos
sible destruction of timber, greater than the value
of all minerals, greater than universal soil erosion,
or obliteration of the mountain streams.
Unlike our waterfalls that leap in white-sprayed
glory from ledge to ledge, its dissipation brings no
beauty. Long years of patient care might bring
back our forests; centuries of toil might restore
the fertility of our soils; but nothing, can bring
back to us the wasted energy of human lives.
I do not mean the little effort necessarv for re
creation. Such energy is conserved, not wasted.
It is turned to good account in making effective the
other hours of labor.
But I do mean the enormous waste of energy in
the idle lives of thousands of young men and
young women who never know the joy of honest
toil. This waste also occurs in the lives of many
mature men and women, for there are many days
of wasted time in the lives of old people that could
be profitably spent in the solution of some of our
pressing problems.
Lock at the thousands of strong young men
that hang around the country stores and village
railway stations dissipating their strength in too
much baseball, living for years as parasites' on the
bounty of father and mother. Think of the num
berless girls, children of well-to-do parents, that
never exert themselves except in the pursuit of
pleasure. Think of this vast army and then dream
of how you could transform this old world if vou
could get all these people to do their part in life’s
earnest labor. Think of the vast stretches of per
fect white road that would flash into being if you
could concentrate on road building all the wasted
energy of the idle men and boys of this great na
tion. With the help of this vast army, every pes
tilential swamp could be drained, every desert spot
made to bloom as the rose. Then think of what
the idle women might do. They could provide
wholesome bread for' every hungry mouth, might
rightly clothe every child of the unfortunate poor,
might cover every 1 bank with violets, might fill
every nook and cranny of the earth with millions
of flowers.
But, in spite of the fact that all of these things
might be done, year after year this mighty current
finds its end in stagnation and death.
The Creator of the world gave us this power to
use in grappling with life’s great problems, and
contentment of mind and clearness of spiritual
vision come only to him who rightly uses this
great gift. To waste it in needless pleasure, to
squander it in stupid ease or foolish effort is a
thousand times worse than the waste of our
priceless natural resources.
To allow good muscular energy to go to waste
is a great loss, but there is a correlative loss of
mental and spiritual opportunity that is infinitely
more appalling. As the hand moves without hes
itation toward the hard task of conquering in the
material world, the immortal spirit freed by that
action springs forward into new fields of develop
ment, and labor, with a mighty shout of victory.
Strength of character comes by bearing burdens.
To die a straight ditch means that your life is
freed from some of its wasteful crooks and turns,
and a floor rightly swept clears your brain of soil
and rubbish- and you are drawn by the action
into more intimate and joyous relation to the great
soul of universal Order.
You can find the secret of any great man’s power
if you look at the way in which be. uses his
strength and improves every opportunity. The
hours go by in fateful procession and the moment
they pass our door they become with all their
treasures of good or shadows of evil, an irre
vocable part of eternity. Spend them well for
they have in them the priceless opportunity for the
development of the soul’s greatness by the body’s
future action in labor. The strong men of the
future, whose lives will be characterized by joy
ous and effective work in every field of endeavor,
will be those men who know that spiritual
strength only comes as We bear greater burdens.
The right use of physical powers in labor gives
us a strong body, the proper use of spiritual
strength makes man a master-spirif. When body
and mind shall so work together, all things for
the uplift of humanity will be possible.—Hiram
Smith, in Calhoun Times.
Imperial Wizard Simmons comes to the de
fense of the Ku-Klux Klan; and no wonder.
It is now said that he draws a salary of twelve i
thousand dollars a year, which is three times
as much as is paid our superior court judges,
more than twice the salary of the governor,
and almost twice as much as is paid our sen
ators and congressmen. Simmons knows
where his butter qnd bread come from and
he does not want the source of supplies cut
off.—Sandersville Progress.
And it is all . paid with “donations” from
“suckers,” too.
Editor Shope says tWt Editor Rucker be
longs to the K. K. K. We are anxiously await-
. ing the latest rom Alpharetta. If the state
ment is false, George may lose another front
. tooth.—Commerce News.
Brother Shannon has, unintentionally of
course, got the wrong dope. We have never yet
stated Editor Rucker belongs to the K. K. K., be
cause we are sure he doesn’t. He is not that
kind of a man, and if he did belong, and we
knew it, we would not tell it on him.
American Idealism.
The current number of the Literary Digest
comments that “numerous gentle warnings from
Washington that the public should not expect too
much from the coming Conference on the Limita
tion of Armament have not been received by every
body with that ‘sweet reasonableness’ which many
supporters of the Administration find in them.”
The Republican New York Evening Mail, who is
of the opinion that the Administration is suffering
from a misunderstanding of American psychology
in trying to inaugurate what it terms “practical
policies,” is quoted as stating:
“Idealism is America’s tradition and greatest
hope. We are not a practical people. The history
of our nation runs counter to such a statement.
Our traditions and our national life would lose all
that is noblest and best in them if we were to turn
aside from idealism because it' is not practical.
Had that been the line of reasoning followed from
1776 to 1781, there would have been no United
States of America.”
The Digest informs us that two great Iridepend-
ent newspapers object to “practical statesmanship”
—the Springfield Republican and the New York
Globe, the first of which ventures that “the reduc
tion of armaments brought about will not be no
ticed perhaps by the taxpayers,” while the com
ment of the latter is that although Mr. Harding
became President in an hour when “the' market
value of ideals was very low in the United States,”
that attitude “apparently is passing.”
Foreign critics, like the late Hugo Munsterberg,
have pointed out that while Americans are prac
tical,. the predominant characteristic of America
is its idealism. It is just for the very reason that
America has been on an ideal qupst that she has
apeomplished so many practical results. Not only
is it true that “where there is no vision the people
perish,” but where there is no vision, there is no
great achievement.
A people who are not stirred by ideals fall into
lethsrgv and dissipation. No nation. can live,
especially in health, except as it lives by vision.
If the world todav is in the midst of a practical
age, dreaming made it so. The automobile, the
