WILSON AND HARDING ON THE SCREEN
Recognition and reprobation of popular coldness toward
President Harding were voiced by Mrs. Virginia White
Steele, of Washington, in addressing the semi-annual con
vention of the Maryland Federation of Republican Women
in Baltimore a few days ago. Mrs. Steele is vice-president
of the Republican State Voters’ Association of the District
lof Columbia, which is directly under the tutelage of the Re-
Ipublican National Committee.
,'v Beginning with a reproof of her fellow-Republicans for
Itheir lack of enthusiasm, Mrs. Steele declared that there was
■no proper deference to President Harding. When the picture
Inf former President Wilson was thrown on the screen in
■Washington, she said, there was vigorous and spontaneous
■applause. When reference was made to President Harding
■or to his administration, Mrs. Steele said, it seemed to take
■great effort to start even weak and desultory handclapping.
Mrs. Steele’s subject was, “The Achievements of the
■Republican National Administration.” Her audience was not
l/ery responsive until after she had lectured the women about
■Republican indifference to the President. Thereafter men-
Ition of his name was met with a mild demonstration.
THE STATE PORT A FARMERS INSTITUTION
Those who have given the closest study to the proposed
State Port and Terminals realize the most keenly that reduc
ed to its last analysis it is a farmers’ project, an institution
intended to promote the farmers’ interests.
!’ True, other classes of Georgians will be greatly benefitted
gby the consumation of the plans that have been so carefully
laid. The manufacturer, the miner, the workingman—each
Irand every one is interested in the State Port and Terminals
from a sense of the direct personal hearing it will have on
Lhis own fortunes. But it is the farmer primarily who will
ireap the most immediate and most lasting benefits.
N ’ltis a mystery to us how any farmer can fail to see
that his vital interests are involved in the project. Here are
J'great terminal facilities to be provided for his use, for the
economical handling of his products, without a cent of cost
(Do him in the beginning or at any other time so far as the
'construction of the terminals is concerned. Elsewhere such
{facilities have proved self sustaining and with earning power
dent to pay the bonds. There is no reason to believe
iit will be different with Georgia, one of the greatest agri
cultural sections in the country.
1 Take our own Liberty county for instance, and see what
jt would mean to our farmers. This is great soil for sweet
potatoes. We all appreciate that. Given a dehydrating, or
fecientific drying plant at a State Port owned and managed by
n,he people, and the growers of sweet potatoes would he put
Ln the most advantageous position possible to handle their
output.
I So it would be as regards hogs and cattle and poultry. A
[feature of State Port and Terminals would be the cold-stor
age facilities designed and operated for the benefit of Geor
gia farmers. The smallest producer of poultry or stock
would enjoy exactly the same advantages as the largest pro
ducer. The rich man and the poor man pay the same for
their postage stamps, so it would be as regards the use of
the facilities of the State Port and Terminals, because, like
the postoffice they would be owned and run for and by the
people.
It is up to our farmers to be getting busy and assert
themselves as regards this State Port and Terminal proposi
tion. The politicians of the State are looking to the farm
ers to tell them what they want done. The farmers should
speak in unmistakable tones as to their desire and intention
to have every possible facility provided them for the advan
tageous warehousing and marketing of their products in a
plant put up by the State and operated with one purpose in
I view, that of serving the people of Georgia.—Liberty City

MY Dt’TV AS A CITIZEN.
John Garland Pollard, of the facul
ty of the College of William and
Mary', of Virginia, has forwarded a
copy of the William and Mary Citi
zenship Creed" formulated by the
students in the classes of Virginia
Government and Citizenship, with
the advice and help of leading states
men and scholarship throughout the
country.
William and Mary Citizenship
Creed, 1922.
We, the mem hers of the classes
in Virginia Government and Citizen
ship of the Marshall-Wythe School
of Government and Citizenship, of
the College of William and Mary, at
Williamsburg, Viriginia .... do de
clare that .... the following is a
summary of our conception of our !
duties as citizens to the government
under which we live:
My Duties as a Citizen.
I — To acquaint myself with those
fundamental principles embodied in
our constitutions and laws which
experience has shown are essential
to the preservation of our liberitjes
and the promotion of good govern
ment, and to defend those principles
against all attacks.
ll To inform myself on all pub
lic issues, and on the character, rec
ord and platform of all candidates
for office, and to exert actively my
influence in favor of men and meas
ures in which 1 believe.
111 To vote in every election, pri
mary and general, never using my
vote or personal or private ends,
but only for the public good, placing
the welfare of my country above
that of my party, if the interests of
the two should conflict.
IV— To connect myself with the
political party which most nearly
represents my views on public ques
tions, and to exert my influence
within the party to bring about the
nomination of good men for office
and the endorsement of measures for
the public weal.
V— To have the courage to per
form niv duties as a citizen regard
less of the effect upon me finan
cially or socially, remembering that
a cowardly citizen is as useless to
his country in time of peace as a
cowardly soldier in time of war.
VI — To stand for honest election
laws impartially administered.
VII— To obey all laws whether I
deem them wise or not, and to up
hold the officers in the enforcement
of the law.
VIII— To make full and honest re
turns of all my property arid income
for taxation.
IX— To be ever ready to serve my
country in war, and in peace, es
pecially in such inconspicuous capa
cities as juror and election official.
X— To acquaint myself with the
functions of the various departments
of my government and to spread the
knowledge of the same among my
fellow citizens in order that they
may enjoy the fullest extent the ad
vantages offered by the government
and may more fully recognize the
government as a means of service to
the people.
Xl To encourage good men to en
ter public service and remain there
in by commending the fatihful per
formance of their duties and by re
fraining from criticism except such
as is founded on a knowledge of
facts.
XII— To seek to promote good feel
ing between alt groups of my fellow
citizens and to resist as inimical to
public welfare all partisan efforts
to excite race, religious, class and
sectional prejudice.
XIII— Not to think alone of what
my government can do for me, but
more about what 1 can do for it.
XIV— To inform myself with re
spect to the problems which confront
my country in its foreign relations,
and to support policies which safe
guard its legitimate interests abroad
and which recognize the responsibil
ities of the United States as a mem
ber of international society-—The
Moultrie Observer.
WHEN I MISS YOU FROM THE
LIGHT.
I
It’s still a world of beauty—broad
plains, and hills of light;
A wilderness of color, and over all
the bright,
The cloudless sunshine streaming, so
that each breathing clod
It sending still sweet messages up
to the skies of God.
But something still is missing from
the season's joy and grace;
The sweeter music of your voice—•
the sunshine of your face!
The sunlight streaming ’round me
hath little that is bright
When ! miss you from the blossoms
when I miss you from the
light.

ON PRISON REFORM
PLAN OF HARDWICK
Contemplates Provision For
At Least Partial Support of
Family Members Dependent
on Prisoners.
ASSUMES PROPORTIONS
OF GENERAL MOVEMENT
Governor Said He Finds Men
and of All Political Align
ments Earnestly Favoring
His Suggestion.
Atlanta, Ga., May 15.—Governor
Hardwick’s plan of prison reform,
which contemplates provision for at
least the partial support of depend
ent members of families of men
serving prison terms is, the gover
nor says, attracting favorable com
ment and strong support until it
already has assumed the proportions
of a substantial movement.
At a large religious gathering at
tended last night by the governor
he says he found men and women,
of all political alignments and of no
alignments at all, earnestly and
enthusiastically in favor of the sug
gestion advanced by him that the
legislature should make provision
for putting the prison system of the
state on a basis of some gainful
occupation for the convicts, out of
should he set aside for the care of
which a fixed scale of percentage
families of prisoners, first; and in
the second place that a fund might
accumulate, where there are no de
pendents, to be used by the con
vict upon completion of his term
of service on which to start out and
gain an independent foothold in the
making of a future good citizen.
Impressed With Idea.
“The more I have studied the
idea,” the governor said today, “the
more 1 am impressed with it, and
it is my purpose to present and
urge its adoption just as strongly
as I know how. Asa matter of
course, 1 expect some fight to he
made on it just how strong I
can’t say now —but 1 confidently
believe enlightenment of the peo
ple on the subject will reduce that
opposition to a minimum and soon
er or later the humanitarian and
just demand from the people will
compell the legislature to recognize
the propriety of such a change and

that change will come. After any
reasonable study of what it means,
no man can show other than that
it makes for Christian citizenship
and good government.
“Since I have been in the excu
tive office! it has been my experi
ence —setting aside the capital
cases for the moment—that in
more than 90 per cent of the ele
mency presented to me the urge,
the appeal has been based on and
backed up by the plea of a num
ber of little children and a depend
ent wife, the innocent victims of
the convict’s wrong doing. It is
upon them, I have found, that the
real punishment falls, and they are
helpless for themselves."
The governor says while it is
not his purpose to clutter the mes
sage on that subject which he will
send to the legislature with de
tails, but rather prefers that be
left to the judgment of the legis
lature to work out, he has not con
templated the adoption of a renum
cration system will at all necessit
ate the elimination of convicts from
road work. “There is no reason
why it should,” he said, “nor is it
impartical to work the proposed
system with the convicts on the
roads. It would merely mean that
the state figure out two basic
points, first the cost of mainten
ance and guarding of the convicts,
then the value of that convict’s
work on the roads. If there were
no available convicts for a county
that county would have to hire its
free labor for road work, so there
should be no trouble in arriving at
the proper figure. Particularly is
that true in light of the fact that
the state is not in the business of
making a profit off convicts.
Credited to Convict.
“In my judgment, there should
then he figured out a percentage
scale of the surplus over and above
the cost of caring for the convict,
which would he credited to that
convict —so much to go to the state
and so much to the convict’s credit.
That percentage scale should take

mean-i protection
into consideration several things.
First it should be graded according
to the deportment of the man, his
classification as a worker and as
an obedient convict, which would be
a material furtherance of the aboli
tion of the lash, since obedience to
prison discipline would mean bet
ter credit to the man; disobedience
would mean deprivation of a part
of his percentage of credit. Then
the amount of dependencies should
be considered. A man who has left
several small children, entirely de
pendent upon him, should, of course,
be given a greater percentage cred
it than one who has left fewer de
pendents or none. In these cases
the credit should be paid over to
or for children of the convict —for
their food, clothing and if possible
education. A small percentage
should be set aside and accumulat
ed to the credit of the convict him
self, against the day of his release,
when it would he turned over to
him to make anew start in life
with, to give him a chance to get
a foothold.
Had Scores of Letters.
“Since the publication of the first
intimation that I purpose asking
for such a reform, I have had
scores of letters from men in the
state prison—many of them capa
ble men formerly of standing and
of intelligence—which present a
very important angle for study. As
the situation now stands, when a
convict is released after service, he
lie is liberated on society with the
stamp of ‘jailbird* all over him, and
he is broke. Honest people are
afraid of him. He is shunned. That
man, instead of being able to carry
himself until he can gain a foot
hold and begin over the life of a
useful citizen, is oftentimes in the
position which makes him easy prey
for the criminals and, perforce, he
is driven to return to a life of
crime.
“I realize full well there is going
to be a fight nyide against county
payment of any kind for the work
of convicts, even to provide food and
clothing for the innocent members
of his Tamil,-. I expect the argu
ment to be set up that counties
should not be made to pay for the
care of children of thugs, robbers
and thieves. That's narrow minded
and short sighted. If those depen
dents are to become charges upon
the public, and fall upon the public
as paupers the public will have to
pay for their upkeep as such and
at the same time that condition of
dependency upon charity, under such
conditions, makes for a life of crim
inality instead of lifting the indi
vidual away from that environment.
