If yod want your letters printed,
It is here right plainly hinted—
Whether they be "fierce” or
“tame”—
You shpuld always sign your nnme;
A big waste basket, you will find,
’Most always gets the unsigned kind.
Big pow-wow called to destroy arms
And put a check on war’s alarms
Has given our fond hopes a blighting
By fixing up new rules for fighting.
Atlanta jurors are waking up—
Sec that on them crime’s breaking up
Rests with a very heavy weight
And calls for verdicts for the State.
There’s no one living on the moon,
And through our trusty scout balloon
We get this very newsy line:
They were all killed by drinking
"shine."

Senator W. J. Harris Inst week in
troduced a resolution in the Senate
calling for a probe of the lobby that
is fighting Henry Ford’s Mussel
Shoals proposition. Tho big inter
ests that dominate the Republican
party are doing everything in their
power to get Congress to turn down
his offer, which means so much to the
farmers of the nation.
Judge F. A. Irwin, present Judge
of the Tallapoosa Circuit, will be in
tho raco to succeed himself in this
year’s elections. Judge Irwin is just
rounding up his first term on the
bench in this circuit', during which
tlmo he has made hundreds of admir

has made an enviable record during
his term.—Buchanan Tribune.

In his first public address since the
national campaign, Gov. J. M. Cox
last week assailed the policies of the
Republican administration, declared
the United States refused to accept
world leadership, and asserted that
financial depression now is due
the “treachery of Lodgeism.” He
said that thousands of Republicans
now realize that their leaders,
making their policy, “profaned Re
publican history by forsaking the
soul of Abraham Lincoln for Ithc
spleen of Henry Cabot Lodge.”
Newspaper advertising has a per
manent and far-reaching value. For
instance, one of our advertisers sev
eral months ago listed some talking
machine records, and n few days ago
one of our subscribers in another
state came to tho store with the ad
vertisement to get one of hem. We
are in a position to know that the
bargains advertised in The Standai-d
are bringing mail orders from long
distances,the advertisers and the buy

Youth and Crime.
It waa a startling statement made
last week by Dr. Crafts, the head of
the National Reform Association,
that there are seven minors to one
adult now committing the major
crimes of murder, burglary and high
way robbery, and that ten girls for
every boy is the ratio of jufenile de
linquency. It was the publication of
this statement in the daily press that
helped to impel us to break our es
tablished rale and publish last week
the anonymous warning on our first
page, instead of letting it go with
others into the waste basket. We do
not yet know who the writer was, but
wo sized him up as a man who was
trying to save young girls from min,
and one who had grown tired of hav
ing such objectionable criminality
forced upon himself and family.
With both of these objectf, it is need
less to say, The Standard is in hearty
accord. By the way, the evident ob
ject of this farmer was to keep folks
out of trouble —not to get them into
it,—and any guilty parties would do
well to give due heed to his warning.
Dr. Crafts says the fault lies main
ly with parents, who do not try to
understand their children and arc
too often really afraid of their ridi
cule. Homo is too often not made
pleasant for the children —and this
npplies to people with abundant
means even more than to those with
less. Children are too often encour
aged in extravagance, which easily
grows beyond the means of the par
ents, and their unsatisfied desires
lead them into crime.
As a matter of fact, there is no
greater problem facing the world in
these abnormal after-thc-war days
than the proper training of the
young, and unless the parents, the
churches and Sunday Schools awake
to the situation, thcro is a dreadful
harvest to be reaped. Let us add the
day schools, also, for honesty and in
dustry should be as much a part of
tho course of study as the “three

In common with the best thought
of the age, The Standard has stood
for lonlcncy for first offences in
court cases, for suspended sentences,
and probation. We still believe this
line of thought andjictlon is wise in
normal times, but these arc not nor
mal times. Ordinarily it would be
murder if an nriny olficor shot one of
his men without trial, but on a bat
tlefield he would bo derelict in his
duty if he did not shoot a soldier who
by attempted desertion would cause
a rout that might endanger the liver
of all his comrades and perhaps jeo-
ordize the result of the battle. We
believe tho time has come when it is
necessary to let people know—and
especially the young —that punish
ment is sure and severe. Too many
women depend on their sex and too
many hoys on their youth, to save
themselves from punishment these
days. They see a woman in Atlanta
shoot a man down, and get off with a
year in the penitentiary —so why not
any woman do the aamo thing if she
happens to feel liko it? They see a
youthful burglnr get off with a mild
penalty —so why not any boy steal
anything he happens to want?
We are - sorry to the depths of our
heart for the father of Frank Du-
Pre, who is sentenced to hang March
10th in Attquta, for th«S murder he
committed while attempting a bold

In England, where a murderer is
promptly executed, and where one
trial is made to su ce, they do not
have half as many murders in the
whole kingdom as we have in the
state of Georgia.
When moral suasion does not
work, it is necessary to resort to
drastic measures. We have plenty of

Parents, preachers, Sunday school
workers and educators generally can
well ponder on Dr. Craft’s statistics
of seven minors to one adult com
mitting major crimes since the war.
It means that they had better all
wake up, get together, and go to

As n Senator from Ohio when Pres

Versailles in accordance with his

G. Harding insisted that the Senate
had the right to over-ride the work

ens are coming home to roost, and we
are in the awkward predicament of
being the only great nation the word

ANTI-LYNCH BILL
Patted by Republican*
in House.
The House of Representatives last
Thursday declared itself in favor of
the government exerting its author
ity in an effort to stamp out lynch
ing, passing by a vote of 230 to 119
the Dyer anti-lynching bill.
The bill provides life imprison
ment or. lesser penalties for persons
who participate in lynchings and for
state, county and municipal officers
who fail through negligence to pre
vent them. The measure also stipu
lates that the county in which mobs
form or kill anyone shall forfeit
$10,000 to the family of the victim.
.. The bill now goes to the Senate,
where there is a bare poaaibllity that
there may be enough sensible Repub
licans to join with the Democratic
Senators to kill it.
Southern Democrats in the House
would not have Wed to toarfe.sudi a v»$ed solidly against the measure,
Hi* execution '« and ’one of th<r best ‘speeches against
it was made by Hon. W. C. Wright,
of Nownan, who married Mrs. Rosa
Mac Bunn, of Cedartown.
There were 17 Republicans who
voted against the measure, and 8
Northern Democrats who forsook
their Southern brethren and voted
for it.
It is an iniquitous measure in its
saddling of $10,000 fines on the tax
payers of a county where a lynching
occurs, the sum to be paid to the
family of the mob’s victim. This is
unfair to the taxpayers, who are not
responsible for mobs, and opens the
way for some ghastly trickery.
If tho Senate should pass this bill,
the fact will still remain that there is
only'one sure way to stop lynching-
and that is for the crime of rape to
stop.
Doctors often disagree, so it is no
surprise that Georgia physicians
sent in widely varying'views as to the
necessity of prescribing whiskey,beer
and wine. The Journal of the A
merican Medical Association has re
ceived 500 answer's to the 1,040
questionnaires sent out, and 219 de
clared in favor of whiskey and 281
against; beer—114 yes, 381 no; wine
—112 yes, 380 no. But what differ
ence does it make what they think
either way in a bone-dry state like
Georgia?

CARBON PAPER for sale at the

Work the Remedy.
A question that Is being generally
asked is: When will conditions get
better?
The answer is simple: When peo
ple go to work.
There is nothing on earth below,
in the heavens above, or under the
sea beneath that will help conditions
as long as people sit around and
whimper and knock and whine. What
the country needs is more elbow-
grease and less jaw-bone exercise.
Conditions have been analyzed, dis
sected, tom to pieces long enough by
the soap-box philosophers. It Is time
for the workers to step into the
breach and start something construc
tive.
Financial panics are nothing new
to this country or the other countries
of the world. Panics come in a more
or less regulated cycle. Any student
of the country’s history can tell you
that panics have been occurring with
regular frequency since the govern
ment wss established. Panics sre as
well established in our business sys
tem as the planets in the solar sys
tem. Almost evsrybody can tell you
about the panic of 1873, 1893, 1907,
and 1914. Your grandparents, were
they alive, could tell you about the
panic of 1837, and others less severe.
When financial depression occurs,
as it always does after every great
war, the people are thrown into pan
ic. They lose their heads, nerve and
morale. They lose confidence in one
another. Everybody seeks the life
boats, and in the mad scramble for
safety codes of ethics are forgotten.
It is a case of Lord save me and the
devil take the hindmost.
During the past few months, the
country has been up against a rather
severe storm. What has been in the
back of every business man’s head
for the past several years has come
to pass. The dreaded deflation has
become a reality. The water has
been squeezed out of abnormal prof
its and the country is face to face
with bedrock principles. We are liv
ing in a new world, but yet many
cannot forget memories of -the old—
the fanners of 45-eent cotton, the
business man of excess profits.
As we enter into the new year,
fraught with great possibilities, ev
ery man, woman, and child should
make the determination to find a so
lution to his problem through harder
work. Work is the universal pan
acea. It will cure many of the pres
ent day problems. Work will prove a
balm of Gilead. It will make boos-
Euy it in Cedartown.
ters out of pessimists. It will lift the
clouds and let the sunshine in.
Get busy at something useful. If
you can't make a dollar, make fifty
cents. If you can’t raise cotton un
der the decree of Providence, raise
something else. If you can’t get
what you want, be satisfied with what
you can get. Find joy in your work.
Anything beats idleness and whim
pering.
How to get out of the present rut?
It is an individual problem. You
must solve it according to your own
peculiar needs. So must your neigh
bor. What ia good for one may not
be good for the other.
Work, and work only, will restore
our accustomed prosperity. It will
bring smiles to the fac*es now long
with doubt and misgivings. It will
fill the banks with deposits, the
home with peace and plenty, the
world with content and good fellow
