DALTON, GJSORGIA, THURSDAY, NOV. 3, 1921. ■ - : 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. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ CLIPPINGS AND COMMENTS ♦ ♦ 'i' ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ As is his custom, Trox Bankston is prepar ing to run for Railroad Commissioner.—Bill Biffem, in Savannah Press.

He got mad at us about something, we dont’ know what, and won’t let us read it any more. Our esteemed contemporary, the Dalton Citizen, has just celebrated its seventy-fourth anniversary.

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 CHEERY LAYS for .DREARY DAYS By. JAMES WELLS, The Printer-Poet ... „ ft Was Only Hallowe’en.
