Advertising rates on request Congress: Keep Out of War Secend-Class Matter Dr. B. J. W. Graham, whose book, "A Ministry of Fifty Years", was published recently is receiving fav- orable comment from the press. Dr. Louie D. Newton, in the Atlan- ta Constitution, is quoted as fol- lows: "It is one of the most interesting books I have read in a long while. It might well be called an autobiography, for, on every page Dr. Graham traces his life story through his many pastorates, his career as a journalist and his plain taking sides, with the tongue in the cheek and a wink in the eye, while the mischief is done behind a law that is called a neutrality Congress assembled yesterday to V pass laws designed to keep us out—or get us into—the Euro pean war. Congress should listen to the words of Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh. He said we should stay out. He said we must not be guided by “this foreign propaganda to the effect that our frontiers lie in Europe.” That statement was attributed sometime ago to President Roose velt. He probably was misquoted or misinterpreted. But Col. Lindbergh has hit the nail on the head. The theory that we are involved in Europes’s quarrels is foreign propaganda. THEY WANT US IN Of course Europe’s quarreling statesmen want us in. They want us in for our money and our men. Col. Lindbergh reminds us that if we do get in this time in war, we will have to stay in after the war ends, to play the petty game of international lying and stealing that goes on constantly throughout Europe. He points out very logically: "If we enter the quarrels of Eu- rope during War, we must stay in them in time of peace. It is mad ness to send our soldiers to be kil led as we did in the last war if we turn the course of peace over to the greed, the fear, the intrigue of European nations.” WE LOST BEFORE law. Don’t you know the don’t give guns to will ships? And that will smack into war. IF HITLER WINS ones we sink our lead us People talking on the street, urging sympathy with Britain and France and Poland, ask the ques tion, “What if Hitler Wins?” They say he will attack us next. We have lived since this nation was founded without being at tacked. In every war we have en listed in we have been the attack ers. We marched into Mexico. We marched into Cuba and the Philippines, and into Europe. We made those marches, not through attack or fear of attack, but through what Col. Lindbergh warns about, “sentiment, sympa- thy, pity, our personal feelings." If we had remained neutral in spirit in 1914-17 there would nev er have been any march of Amer- ican arms to Europe. It was our sentiment against the Hun that got us into the war. If the Hun had won, would he have attacked us? We had never quarreled with him until we attacked him. He had never quarreled with us until we attacked him. And that is a bridge to cross when we reach it. It is foolish to build a bridge just to see if we can cross it. And that is what we are doing when we enter Europe- an quarrels. many contacts with the men and movements of Georgia from the time he entered the ministry until the present. "I can’t imagine a better review of Georgia history for the past half century than the reading of this fascinating book. Dr. Gra- ham knows how to tell a story, and in these interesting accounts of his varied contacts with the men and women of leadership in Georgia, he reflects the general life of the state in a very remarkable way. "Born in Cherokee county on a farm in the Big Springs and Shi loh neighborhood, he inherited the strength of the hills and was taught by his father and mother the dignity of work and the value of time. He tells how he grew up in a Methodist home and how he fully intended to join the Metho dist church, until the pastor re- fused to immerse him, and that accounted for him becoming a Baptist. "With a family of five children| he finally entered Mercer Univer- sity, in 1889, graduating in 1894,' and although he went to Mercer; without any money, he graduated without owing a dime. Then fol lowed the many pastorates and the successful editorship of the In- dex, but my space is gone before I get started to review this de lightful book. Get it and read it.” Your County Library We paid for the last war. We fought it and won it, with our sac- rifice of some thousands of our best young American, and then we turned idealists again. We turned our back upon any gain from the war and in doing so we shut the door even to get- ting back the money we lent Eu- rope. More than 12 billion dol- lars, a sizeable part of our nation- al debt, is money that Europe bor- rowed and will not pay back. It was borrowed by the very peoples who want us for their al- ly again. After all that cost we turned over to Europe again the destiny of peace or war. And they have brought upon themselves another war. Healing Rifts Made in Purge By LEONARD ROAN For the past month have been hearing or SO we rumors — BIG HEARTED IDEAS We had ideas of serving hu- manity by killing a few of the hu- mans and making the rest of them follow our kind of government. And now we are all worked up over humanity again. But Col. Lindbergh warns us that we must not fall for that stuff. Said he: "We must not permit our sen- timent, our pity, or our personal feelings of sympathy, to obscure the issue." We must not care what hap- pens to minorities in Europe, mi- norities that deliberately violate laws to stir up strife in the hope of revolution or war that may put them forth as leaders of the ma- jority instead of the minority. They are mountebanks who would start a war just to get a chance to try to lead it. That is not the kind of quarrel that should interest America. QUEER NEUTRALITY Congress is going to change the neutrality laws try to Under the laws we now have we can't sell war materials to war- ring nations. Under the proposed new law, we can. Now that is a queer sort of neu trality law. We will have a law that will let us hand a gun to the murderer, if the change is made. The trouble is, some of our idealists want the law changed for this reason: So that we can hand the gun to the side THEY want to hand it to. That isn't neutrality. That is we do mean RUMORS— that the Administration would make over- tures to certain Senators in an ef- fort to heal the wounds of last year’s unsuccessful "purge." The President’s letter of good wishes to Senator George at the New York hospital where the Georgia Senator underwent an eye operation, may have a deeper sig- nificance than the expressed hopes for a speedy recovery would indi cate. . The sincerity of the President’s action in this regard cannot be doubted as Mr. Roosevelt’s genu- ine respect for Senator George is well known. This column, speaking solely for itself, would be happy to see a peace pact between the Presi- dent and the Georgia Senator. Everyone involved stands to gain —certainly the President needs more Congressional friendliness; certainly both of our Senators could use a little more White House co-operation; but most im- portant of all, the people of Geor- gia would benefit greatly by clos- er coordination between the two branches. In this respect also, it has be- come increasingly apparent that the grip held by the left-wing group for so long has been shaken off, to a great extent, by the White House. In several instances re cently the radical left-wingers have been replaced in important consultations by practical advisers ! both in the business world and in the army and navy. We hope this definitely rings down the curtain on the Cocoran- Cohen comedy-duo and that we now can sit back and witness a play with a pointed and purpose- ful plot. DER TAG! Charles P.

By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist OFFICIAL Washington's im- iression is that the average Ger- nan not only didn't want war but didn’t really look for it. He was worried, of course. Yet, from all accounts, he wasn’t as much worried as the English and French were — for the simple reason that his country’s cen- sorship was so tight that evi dently he was unable to keep in any sort of adequate touch w1th'develop ments. What he appears to was that Fuehrer get what he was demanding by demanding it, with- out actually fighting. Quite likely Hitler himself thought so. On the opposite hand, the English and French, while recognizing the situation’s dangers, obviously clung to a near-conviction that Adolf was only super-bluffing and lie down strenuously enough. if called Diplomatic EVENT Since the arrival of our 1940 Mo- del Dodge and Plymouth cars our Csed Car Stock has grown so rapidly we are forced to move some of them.

Haste usually proves a detri ment to the results we hope to ac complish. We refer especially to the neutrality legislation which was pigeon-holed by the Senate Committee at the last session of Congress. As it is now, when Congress, in ] extra session, again considers this The Gallup polls always are in- teresting. The latest one, just published in the Atlanta Consti- tution, shows Vice-President Gar- ner still far in the lead for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency in 1940, provided President Roosevelt himself is not a candidate. Mr. Garner was giv- matter in the light of the Europe an War, practically every Con gressman will know just how the people back home want him to vote. Nearly everyone of them has been back among his constituents, and has talked it over with them. This time we’re pretty apt to get a law the people approve of, and after all the people are still the real rulers in this land of ours. Moreover let us add here that the theory that Hitler was encou raged by the failure to revise the neutrality laws has been refuted by the highest authority—by Hit ler himself. Hitler went to war only after his alliance with Stalin. As George Rothwell Brown, noted political commentator says: "Many Senators opposed grant ing to the President the larger powers he demanded in neutrality revision, because they did believe war was imminent, and were strongly of the opinion that, in such an eventuality, it was the du ty of Congress to retain unim paired in its own hands the whole of the constitutional war-making powers. "Events have sustained the wis- en 45 per cent of all those polled dom of the Senate.” TODAY WE go back to the Prophet Isaiah, who, you remem- ber, lived at the same time as Micah, who was the subject of last week’s lesson. The subject today is Isaiah’s prophecies of the coming of Jesus. Isaiah undoubt- edly thought the Messiah was coming very soon, as this nation badly needed a leader, as it was about to suffer invasion and the people captivity at the hands of the Assyrians. As a matter of fact, Jesus was not born until 700 years had passed. The time of today’s lesson is placed around 734 B. C. We cannot do better than to read and memorize the words of Isaiah, not only for their beauty, which, once learned, will remain in the consciousness all one’s life, but for the foretelling, which most certainly describes Jesus. "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: Spirit of Lord Rests Upon Him “And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord." That quotation is taken from Isaiah 11, and in Chapter 9 he says: "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given- and the government shall be upon His shoulders and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Fa ther, The Prince of Peace." All through the years the Chil dren of Israel kept the hope of the coming of the Messiah, and it cheered them through all their troubles. The Child, when it came, was to be called Immanuel, mean- ing "God is with us," says Isaiah. This Messiah shall be "quick of understanding in the fear of the Lord; and He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither re prove after the hearing of His ears: "But with righteousness shall He judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked. "And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and faithful ness the girdle of His reins.” Taught Way of Life Jesus, when He came, did not liberate His people in the way the prophets expected. He taught the Way of Life which makes us all free if we will but follow it—a higher and more wonderful way than even the prophets under stood. All through the trials and trib ulations of his people did Isaiah comfort them with promises of God’s help if they would but rely upon Him. “Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, my way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? "Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlast ing God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not. neither is weary? there is no searching of His understanding. “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. "Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Next week we learn of the com- ing of Jesus and begin the study of His teachings. Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc. YOU'RE TELLING ME!

Washington believed much the same thing up to the last minute. At all events it vehemently hoped so. Even during the days of rival mobilizations and blackouts and rationing, the guess was to be heard from well-informed function aries that the prolongation of these preparations hinted at a peaceful outcome, at least tempo- rarily. As one high-up military man (he wouldn’t thank me if I named him, thus advertising his misjudgment) remarked to me, "supposing an athlete wants to establish a record as a long running jumper, he doesn’t run ten miles before taking off. That would be too far. He’d fall exhausted while still on terra firma." Germany Never Licked? There's some interesting state departmental, army and navy com- ment in connection with the Nazi claim that the Fatherland wasn’t truly licked in the last war—that what happened was a revolution at home instead of a pro-ally victory This contention isn’t at all hotly disputed. Plenty of good authorities are prepared to admit that German arms could have held their own almost indefinitely if internal Ger many hadn’t intolerably tired of the kaiser and if the kaiser hadn’t scooted at the psychological moment. “But," query the critics, "what assurance has Herr Hitler that Germans generally won't tire of him even sooner than they tired of the kaiser?" Wilhelm went into the war of 1914-18 with an extremely solid Germany behind him. All the evidence is that Adolf has a for- midable discontented element to reckon with. He talks about a 10-year war. Wilhelm, with a better-looking beginning, couldn’t outlast four years. Adolf suggests successors to himself, if, anything happens to him. Wilhelm didn’t have to sug- gest any successors. He had ’em hereditarily scheduled. And his dynasty certainly seemed as firmly intrenched as Adolf’s does—more so, maybe, as between 1914 and 1939. The surmise is that Adolf’s regime may blow up internally on short notice unless he scores some extraordinary triumphs very speedily. Planes, Germs and Poison There’s a strong movement to "humanize" this war, as they ex- press it, by an all-around agree- ment to bar indiscriminate air bombings, the use of poison gas and the scattering of disease germs. I can see the sense in the argu. ment that it’s an unfair practice to drop bombs from airplanes upon noncombatants—killing and maining peaceful folk, including women and innocent little children. But assume that some other guy is trying to kill you, and you’re trying to kill HIM What differ- ence does it make whether you kill him with a bullet, a chunk of shrapnel, a lethal gas, a handful of anthrax microbes or any other old way? Who cares how he’s killed, so long as he’s killed dead, regard- less? Poisoning wells, for some reason, always has been spoken of as a dirty form of warfare I don’t see why it’s any worse than killing a man with a shotgun It’s homicide, in either case 1938 1937 1935 1933 1935 1929 1929 1934 1929 2-Dr. Trg. 2-Dr. Trg. 2-Dr. Trg. 2-Dr. Trg. 2-Dr. Sedan 2-Dr. Sedan 2-Dr. Sedan 4-Dr. Sedan 2-Dr. $589.00 479.00 259.00 79.00 269.00 69.00 79.00 179.00 79.00 FORDS 1935 Coupe $199.00 1935 Coupe 269.00 1933 2-Dr. 119.00 1090 Model A 1043 2-Dr. 69.00 1936 4Dr 299.00 1021 Model A. 13001 Rd’ster 129.00 1937 2-Dr. 449.00 1933 2-Dr. 139.00 2-Dr. 1934 Sedan 239.00 1930 Coupe 119.00 PLYMOUTHS 1938 / Give the muscles a good RUB DOWN WITH PEN-O-LIN When active exercise causes soreness and stiffness Cherokee Drug Company $599.00 2-Dr. Trg. 1934 2Dr 179.00 1936 4 ^ 329.00 1938 589.00 1938 1. 599.00 1937 1 469.00 1938 2 ^ 599.00 1934 Coupe 259.00 DODGE 1935 #49.00 1936 Coupe 369.00 1937 ^ 479.00 1937 R 569.00 1937 4-Dr. 539.00 LeEe Tro UueeUU 1936 ^ 389.00 1937 IVE: 569.00 1932 IR 169.00 1938 TYe 669.00 TRUCKS 1938 PKUD $449.00 1930 Chlet 79.00 1937 PROP 395.00 1937 long wh 399.00 Base 1935 Chvlet 239.00 1936 Pvt 299.00 1934 ^ 89.00 1937 Pup 269.00 1936 &, 239.00 Base 1936 &, 299.0( Base 1025 Dodge 150 00 1000 long wh’l 150.00 Base 1936 long whl 295.00 Base Household Hint I The consumer who has formed' the habit of thinking about costs in 1 terms of a pound or pint, rather 1 than the price of a can or bottle, has taken a step forward as a buyer.I , P.
