Quitman is royally entertaining the
Georgia quill-drivers this week—and
how we hate to miss it! “Presence of
mind” is a good thing, but this is a
ca^o in which we’d like to be “all
there.”
Which displays the least breadth
between the eyes—the man who al
lows himsel to be led in his political
affiliations, or the one who permits
himself to be driven from them sim
ply because some one he doesn’t like
is for them? Personally, if we had
to make a choice, —which we are
i glad we don’t,—we had rather be led
I than driven.
Too Much Power.
It is unwise to have too much
power centered in any one individual
or organization. The temptation is
too strong to use it—and power used
simply for the sake of displaying it
is never wise.
The possession of a pistol has turn
ed many a peaceful citizen into a
murderer. This is especially true
if in addition to the pistol there is
the excitement of a drink or two of
modem moonshine.
Our Democratic forefathers saw
the danger of a highly centralized
government, and fought for states
rights. From the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, from the Lakes to the Gulf, with
Alaska and many of the isles of the
sea put in for good measure, we have
widely varying conditions and
fiicting interests. The Republican
party, for instance, which used to
harangue against the South about
the ballot box, now has a race and
suffrage problem of its own in the
Philippines, which continue to clam
or for self-government in spite of the
fact that Getff. Leonard Wood haB
been sent there to rule over them.
Centralization was necessarily forced
upon us during the World War, and
there was reason to fear that the
rights of the States would never a-
gain be allowed to appear, until the
Supreme Court recently “read up on
the Constitution” and decided some
eases in accordance with its provis
ions.
It is easy to scramble eggs, but
mighty hard to un-scramble them,and
it is going to take a long while to get
away from the governmental inter
ference with anything and everything
that was an inevitable result of the
war.
The States can always better look
after local conditions, for they know
what the majority of their people
need and want, and while we have a
system of government in which the
people delegate their authority to'
chosen representatives, those repre
sentatives are supposed to carry out
the wishes of the majority. Too
much centralization of power in the
general government is subversive of
the rights of the States.
The same thing is true in labor and
other organizations. We are seeing
the effects of the building up of great
national and even international or
ganizations, in which the heads take
the power to refuse the suggestions
of the President of the United States
that they submit the differences be
tween employer and employed to ar
bitration— and there is always some
thing suspicious when men would
rnther fight than arbitrate. In the
rail strike, the differences could have
been easily adjusted in this section if
the railronds and the shop ernfts of
the Southeast could have come to
gether in peaceful conference, as
would have been best for all concern
ed. We have a different class of peo
ple, for one thing, in such shops as
the Central here and the anarchistic
foreign element found in some of our
big cities. For another thing, living
conditions vary in different parts of
the country, And there is no fairness
in trying to force some hard-and-fast
rule on all sections. Such discussion,
of course, is purely academic, for
neither the Federal Rail Board nor
the high officials of the unions would
listen to such a reasonable sugges
tion. Both of them have too highly
centralized power, the difference be
ing that the Rail Board in itself has
no “teeth” with which to enforce its
decisions, while the unions are show
ing a mouth full of them. And as a
result of this centralization of power
large percentage of the public may
go hungry ere long.
Thirsty Senators may find some
comfort in a Glass and a Beveridge
serving together.
President Harding is opposed to
the primary system, and in this posi
tion he is stongly supported by Sen
ators Newberry, New, and other big
Republicans who have found hard
sledding in their political ambitions.
Nothing suits a political boss of any
party better than a convention, for
they have everything their own way
there.
Hon. Price Edwards, of Buchanan,
who recently published a card that he
would not be in the race for Judge
of the Superior Courts of the Talla
poosa Circuit, has re-considered his
decision and makes his announce
ment this week. He has served n
couple of terms in that capacity,make
ing a splendid record, and has a host
of friends throughout the circuit.
State School Superintendent M. L
Brittain, who declined to stand for re-
election, was last week elected Presi
dent of the State Technological
School in Atlanta—a selection that
will give general satisfaction. Dr. M
M. Parks, the able head of the Geor
gia Normal & Industrial College at
Milledgeville, has been appointed to
fill the vacancy as State School Su
perintendent.

Unk Sam’s latest type idees
Mean that “freedom of the seas”
Lets all those who cross the ooze
Hav'e their plenty fill of booze,
While those who stay this side the
brink ■: ^ W|Hi
Can’t have a single drop to drink.
Legislators doubtless will
Quickly pass the Mundy bill
For “picking possums when they’re
ripe.”
That law will prove a better type
Than that now on the statute book
By which you musn’t even look
At possums at the very time
When they are fit for song and
rhyme.
Possums are “ripe”—likewise their
trimmins.
At just the same time as persimmons.
Kiwanians could hardly wait
For this very day and date.
Their “buds” from Rome are coming
o’er
And they're going to sing some
more.
And when the time is finally up
We’ll know which Club will hold the
cup.
My! but we’re sorry every bit, man,
We can’t be with the boys at Quit-
man.
The gang’s all there—Rabun to Ty-
bee,—
But here at home is right where I be.
And so we feel this hot old day
Jazzing is work instead of play.
Herrin, Ill., is indeed a sick fish—
rotten, you might say.
Don’t belittle your town. Cedar
town has as large a per centage of

The Agricultural committee in the
United States Senate last Saturday
voted against accepting Henry Ford’s
offer for Muscle Shoals, and in order
to show no partiality also voted down
all other offers. The matter will
some time be threshed out in the Sen
ate itself, but at the rate the Republi
cans are managing affairs in Congress
it will take two or three years to get
around to it.
DATE CHANGED.
The date of the Sproull reunion at
Auchrauty’s Mill in Bartow county
has been changed from the 26th inst
to Tuesday, July 25th.
The Right to Strike.
When does the strike cease to be
a means of defense and begin to be a
means of extortion? That is one of
the most important questions now
before the American people, and a
question that must soon be answered.
Whatever faults we as a people may
possess or whatever virtues we may
lack, all our critics agree that we are
not only fair but generous. We per
mit the weak to use means in their
own defense that we will not permit
the strong to use as a means of ag
gression. No right-thinking person
ever did believe or ever will believe
that a strike is a good thing in itself,
any more than such a person can
think that war is a good thing in it
self. There are many who are will
ing to support either a strike or a war
when it is a measure of defense, but
not when it is a measure of aggres
sion.
The only people who really need to
use the strike ns a measure of de
fense are those who cannot get a liv
ing wage by the peaceful method of
voluntary agreement with their em
ployers; in other words, by bargain
ing. Americans are very patient
when such workers resort to a strike.
But when people who are prospering
under the method of voluntary a-
greement begin to use force as a
means to attain still greater pros
perity they are likely to find public
sentiment against them. They may
devise all sorts of arguments to war
rant their action, but so long as we
have a public conscience that will
justify our existence as a free peo
ple the public mind will remain clear
upon the real issue.
How prosperous does any group or
class have to be before it loses its
right to strike? It would be difficult
to draw the line exactly, but it is ev-
ident that any group or class has
passed that line when it is as pros
perous as the majority of the citizens
of the country. When that majority
see that a special class that is more
prosperous than they themselves are
is trying to extort still greater pros
perity by violence, or even by the
mildest kind of intimidation, they
cannot be expected to lend much
moral support to the attempt. In
fact, when considerable numbers re
gard a given occupation as more at
tractive than their own,—so much
more attractive that they would be
glad to exchange places with anyone
in that occupation,—they are more
likely than not to resent the effort of
an organization that controls the oc
cupation to keep them out. If, be
sides trying to keep them out, the or
ganization resorts to a strike to gain
still further advantages for its mem
bers, the resentment against it will
increase. Those persons outside the
organization who see that its mem
bers are already more ijrosperous
than they themselves are may be ex
pected to turn against the organiza
tion. There are close students of the
labor-union situation who think that
those unions which overreach them
selves in that way are preparing their
own destruction.—Youth’s Compan
ion.
Shoe on Other Foot.
“My one outstanding conviction,
after sixteen months in the Presi
dency,” says Mr. Harding, “is that
the greatest traitor to his country is
he who appeals to prejudice and in
flames passion, when sober judgment
and honest speech are so necessary to
firmly establish tranquility and se
curity.”
It is unfortunate for the nation
and the world that the Republicans
had not seen and acted on this when
they were heaping abuse and calumny
on President Wilson. Civilization
would have been saved untold suffer
ing, and would have been moro
strongly intrenched instead of being
rocked to its very foundation.
