FOR SOLICITOR GENERAL.
Law and Order.
Ab a general rule, every communi
ty has just about the kind of law, en
forcement that it really wants. In
Dome of the large cities an officer
could not hold his job a day if he un
dertook to do his full duty in the en
forcement of the prohibition laws,for
the reason that most of the people
there do not want t. The same thing
is true of the enforcement of other
lawB in “wide-open towns." %
All over the country there la a de
plorable inequality in the execution
of law. In the South the “poor white
man and nigger," and in other sec-
tionH the ignorant “foregn element,"
watched far closely and punish
ed very much more severely for in
fractions of the law than men and
women of higher social standing, al
though there is far less excuse for
the latter. One of the effective ar
guments against the prohibition laws
is the fact that the rich man could—
and did—utock up with fine liquor
before the law went into effect,while
the poor man has to “go thirsty." He
is far better off without it, of course,
but hundreds of thousands of them
don't think so, and are spending their
money on “slow suicide" stuff.
Law enforcement is a difficult mat
ter, however earnest and vigilant of
ficials may be. An officer may be
hove a man to be guilty of any
NO REST—NO PEACE.
There's no peace and little rest for
tke one who suffers from a bad back,
and distressing urinary disorders.
Cedartown people recommend Doan’s
Kidney Pills. Be guided by their ox
perionce.
W. D. Orebaugh, farmer, Route 5,
Victrola St, Cedartown, says: “I
fell a few years ago and it strained
my back and put my kidneys in
weak condition. I had an attack of
kidney trouble and severe backache
My kidneys were weak and the so-
eretiona passed too froely and were
Maiding and highly colored. Nights
my rest was broken by having to get
ap to pass the kidney secretions. My
back pained so I could hardly get a-
bout to do my work on the farm. I
had sharp cutting pains dart through
my back and hips at every move.
There was a constant dull ache in the
small of my back. I used three boxe9
of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they soon
relieved all the distress. 1 have been
free from backache ever since. I
occasionally use Doan’s Kidney Pills
and think there is nothing better."

To the White Votera of the Tallapoosa Cir
cuit: ’
I hereby announce myself a candidate for
the office of Solicitor General of the Talla
poosa Circuit, subject to the primary to be
held tor the nomination of a candidate for
said offlea.
I have oeen in tne continuous ana aetive
practice of law for more than thirty years.
With this experience, I promise, if nom
inated and elected, to give the best that is
within me to th« honest, fair and fearless
discharge ef the duties of the office, and in
the see rlee of the people.
Your vote and Influence will be highly and
sincerely appreciated.

crime—he may be assured by any
number of people that they believe
him guilty,—but it is worse than use
less to make a case against him un
less positive proof can be obtained as
to his guilt. And in these days of
swift-moving automobiles it is much
easier to “get away" with law-break
ing than in the old days—and it was
hard enough to stop it then.
We have a good corps of officers
in Cedartown, and with the proper
co-operation of our people we can
pect a righteous enforcement of the
laws. There may have been times in
the past when a citizen could not put
an officer “wise" without the culprit
being at once informed of his identity
—although the officer had been fully
acquainted with the situation all the
time and wanted to shift the respon
sibly to some one else for making
trouble,—but we do not believe we
have any men of such small caliber on
the force now, and from Recorder P.
A. Hunt down through the list of
police officers we believe these men
nre anxious to do their duty. If
they prove otherwise, we are satisfied
that our Mayor and Council and
Chief of Police York will see to it
that changes are made.
There w;* neve* a tlnvj when gen
eral and impartial enforcement of
the law was more necessary than to
day. Too many people are holding
the law in utter contempt, and “mor
al suasion" means nothing to them
hut license to do ns they please. Ev
ery law-abiding citizen, regardless of
color or station, is entitled to the full
protection of the law, and the higher
in the scale of social standing a man
may be the less excuse he can have
for violating the law.
One of the crying needs of the
whole country, of course, is an nwak-
ening of the people to the great res
ponsibility of jurors in our courts.
*! It does harm rather than good to
catch criminals unless they can be
punished, and it is the individual
juror who has the say-so about this.
We do not know there is any grea
ter laxity of morals than has always
been generally prevalent, but we are
sure that the general spirit of con
tempt and defiance of law is greater
than ever before, and we are equally
sure that nothing but the certainty
of adequate punishment will stop it.
We may be able to educate the wrong
spirit out of law-breakers in time,but
sure and severe punishment is the
only thing that will do the work in
the present emergency.
And a public sentiment that de
mands law enforcement will get it

Here is something we hate to say,
But those who heed will find it pay.
It is the purpose of this rhyme
To say the weevil takes no time
For “laying by" from his dread work,
And so, although it gall and irk—
The farmer who would cotton raise
Must skip his old-time lay-by days.
If folks don’t do to just suit you,
This is the course you should pursue:
Just have our Solons pass a law
That will call 'em right to taw,
For let it be weil understood
That laws, of course, will make folks
good.

Senator W. J. Harris has rendered
splendid and timely service to the
newspapers of the nation by having
chemical.woodpulp, which is used in
paper manufacture, restored to the
free list in the new tariff bill. The
price of paper ever since beginning
of the war has been almost ruinous to
publishers, and were it not for the
competition of foreign newsprint
many more papers would be forced
out of business. Publishers through

Harris a deep debt of gratitude for
his successful work in their behalf.

Keep It Up.
The hot, dry weather ha3 unques
tionably been against the boll weevil.
It has enabled the farmer to cul
tivate his cotton frequently, and the
weevil doesn’t like the dust on tho
under side of the leaves any better
than the hot sun on top of them.
Then, too, the heat dries up the fallen
squares, and the grub finds nothing
to feed on when it hatches.
While conditions are undoubtedly
better than we feared they would bo
at this time, men who know anything
about the pest say that the danger ia
by no means over. Many farmers re
port to us that the weevil is now
working in the bolls, and had sprang
a surprise on them. We are much •-
fraid that many others have a like
surprise coming their way. •
It will not do to relax our vigil
ance. If you let the pest get the start
of you, he will take your crip “aa
sure as gun’s iron.”
The weevil has no laying-by time,
and the farmer is going to have to
take a lesson from him if he expecta
to make cotton.
The only salvation now ia late cul
tivation and picking up the squares-
So say men who ought to know.

We are opposed to the suggestiom
of rotating Judges over the State, aa
it would encourage additional care*
lessness on the part of voters, to say
nothing of the additional expense. If
they knew that the Judge they elect
is the one who is going to stay with
them, people will not be so apt to
vote for some fellow whose principal
qualification is that he is a good hand
shaker or promiser.” Whether or not
Judges should be elected by direct
vote of the people is not a question,
now—certainly no change in the sys
tem is at all likely to be made. The
thing to do with Judges —and for all
other officers, for that matter,—is to
vote for the man best qualified to fill
the place. Fortunately for the peo
ple of this Circuit, as long as we have
a man like Judge Irwin on the bench,
no one need wish for any rotation.
