President Wilson can drive a rivet

a truth as'he never can hope to be
able to drive a rivet—Albany Herald
A South Georgs farmer experiment
ing with thee ultivatlon of flax has
found the results satisfactory. Here
is another crop to engage the consid
eration of the Dooly county farmer
for anything that can be produced in
Georgia can be produced in Dooly.
Uany seem to concur in the opin
ion that Germany’s U-Boat campaign
on the American coast is her last
card. There are certain conditions
which Indicate that this opinion is
well founded and all lovers of fair
play will be glad to know when she
has come to the last card in the dirty
deck from hich she is dealing, how
ever, it is safest not to rest too com
fortably on tho assurance that Ger
many is about to show her hand, past
events have proven too clearly that
she has no scruples about playing the
war game unfairly, so it is quite possi
ble that she still has a card or two up
her sleeve.
No set of people engaged in war
work come in for a greater share
criticism both adverse and favorable,
than the knitter. This excerpt from
an article in a current periodical com
bines a tribute to the knitter of one
class and a severe rebuke to others to
whom is ascribed tho sordid purpose
'of serving as a means to the realisa
tion of a long desired end. This is the
comment: 1
“What an example of loyalty our
women set to the men. Their work
is a free gift; no profiteering with
them. Only a certain organised set
ask remuneration and they ask the
ballot for their pay.”'
Wc doubt seriously if this thrust is
merited. It would doubtless be diffi
cult to determine the various motives
that have inspired thew omen of Amer
ica to manufacture with their needles
the great piles of woolen garments
for the men who are fighting for them
however, if it were possible to arrive
at the real truth concerning it, It is
highly probable that those who' are
knitting for no other purpose than the
hope of gaining the ballot, wouldffi>e
feund in the woeful minority. And
one does not necessarily favor votes
for women to take this view of it.
CONGRESSMAN CRISP
Not infrequently there comes some
thing to remind the people of the
Third Congressional Ejlitrict that they
ard.'fdrubbing a man to Congress
Whose perspective of service extends
beyond his constituency incorporating
within its limits the national interest
The most recent evidence of this fact
comes in the form of a bill which was
introduced' by Congressman Crisp in
the House of Representatives Hay
ZSrd. . The bill which is reproduced
here demonstrates that the author is
an advocate of fair play to ail:
A BILL
To subject Federal, State, and Mu
nicipal officers and employees to in
come and excess profits tax.
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as
sembled,
That section four of the Act entit
led “An Act to increase the revenue,
and for other purposes," approved
September eight, nineteen hundred
and sixteen, as amended by section
twelve hundred of the Act entitled
An Act to provide revenue to defray
war expenses, and for other purpos
es," approved October Third, nineteen
hundred and seventeen, is hereby
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 4. The following income shall
be exempt from the provisionsfaf this
title:
“The proceeds of life insurance
policies paid to individual beneficiar-
upon the death of the insured; the
amount received by the insured, as a
return of premium or premiums paid
by him under life insurance, endow
ment, or annuity contracts, either
during the term or at the maturity of
the term mentioned in the contract or
upon surrender of the contract; the
value of property acquired by gift,
bequest, devise, or descent (but the
income from such property shall be
included as income); interest upon
the obligations of a State or any po
litical subdivision thereof or upon the
obligations of the United States (but
in the case of obligations of the Unit
ed States issued after September flrnt
nineteen hundred and seventeen, only
if and to the extent provided in the
Act authorizing the issue thereof) or
its possessions or securities issued un
der the provisions of the Federal farm
loan Act of July seventeenth, nine
teen hundred and seventeen; and the
compensation of the present President
of ti.e United Suites during the term
t'TV! liich he has been els:'ci! and the
compensation of the present President
of the United States during the term
for which he has been elected, and
the judges of tho supreme and infer
ior courts of the United States now in
office."
Sec. 2. That clause (a) of section
two hundred and one of such Act of
October third, nineteen hundred and
seventeen, is hereby repealed:
TEDDY CANNOT HELP IT
No one expects former President
Roosevelt to be pleased with anything
the present administration does. The
ex-President is not big enough man
for that. If the President of the Unit
ed 8tates should evolve a plan tomor
row that would end the war honorably
r tiie United
in two days and in he way
States wants it to end, the ex-Presi
dent would write an article for the
newspapers showing how he could
have turned the trick in a day. And
then he would be unusually liberal
his views, for he would have given
President Wilson credit for being,
about fifty per cent right.

To the People of Georgia:
Never In the history of Georgia,
nor of the v.-orld, have such momentous
Issues arisen an now meet our people
face to face.
The greatest war ever known has
been raging for nearly four years. Mil
lions upon millions of people bare been
killed and crippled, and thousands are
dally being added to the Hat of killed
and wounded. In the past twelve
months our country baa been drawn
into the tearful holocaust; an army of
over two millions of our noblest sons
has been called to arms and another
million are now being assembled. Al
ready our Government has called upon
our people tor over ten bfilloaa of
dollars, an amount never dreamed of
In all ware of history. Our people
hare responded without stint and
without murmur; our boys- have gone,
bravely forward to defend our lag,
and bring freedom and liberty to the
civilised world.

arisen, celling upon Georgia to choose

valor; Id fact, there has been no la-
eue of “loyalty” in Georgia since the
declaration of war, except such ss has
been feigned' by unscrupulous polltl*

popularity and greatness of others.
Georgia and her citizens stand stand
fast and at the forefront tor the speedy

It is u living,, breathing character
ization of the Prussian pirate, Wil
liam of Hohenzollern, that Rupert
Julian gives to the role of the Kaiser
in the production, “The Kaiser, the
Beast of Berlin,” which is the attrac
tion next week at the DeSoto Thea
tre.
When you aettie down in a soft,
yielding chair at home and begin
your daily peruial of tho barbarious
practices of the Huns, do you wonder
what sort of person this emperor
might be? Do you picture him in
your mind? Do you try to imagine
how ho conducts himself in his own
palace? There’s on easy way to sat
isfy your mind on these points—go
to see the film at the DeSoto Theatre.
A seat in the DeSoto next week Is a
ticket to Berlin, to the heart of a war-
mad nation, and it includes stopover
privileges in the devastated section
of Belgium, where the horror and
tragedy of the aack of this little coun
try is unfolded before your eyes.
If you don't hate the kaiser now—
and you ought to it you are • real
American—go to see “The Beast of
Berlin" and yon will hate him before
you’ve seen one hundred feet of film;
if you do hatch im go to the DeSoto
and your hatred will be stimulated
and mada moreintense.
The management of the the,ter
does not claim that this film is ‘tho
moat costly that-has ever been pro
duced, bnt it does claim tint toe
tore to something that-brings
the real truth concerning
and to tyrannical ruler.
