opinion of men who have studied

Editor Times-Enterprise,
Thomasville, Ga.
Jear Sir: —
Where is the hitch which prevents
>ur County Board of Health from
inaugurating the operation of our
ew Health Bill? Three grand ju-
es have found this bill a most de
sirable measure; recommended its
doption for Thomas County, and
now it seems to b# stopped by a
body composed of only three met..-
)ers, when the law explicitly sajs
hey shall act, act at once, and that
they have no discretion in the mat
ter. Each separate grand jury rec-
>mmendt»d this bill after discussing
.t from a purely economic stand-!
point, seeing that would be the
means of saving our people many !
thousands of dollars yearly in lost!
timo alone, front sickness and death. ■
Yet we are told that there is no !
money available, and that we can
not go on. Smaller counties than
ours are putting it into operation.
Tift and Irwin counties are, jointly,
a district and their combined wealth
I nearly every statesman in this coun-
ly.
j The spirit of the opinion is broken
n the undue haste with which Judge
jrl.ghes flung off his judicial robes
and mixed In the medley of political
office-seekers. A calm, dispassion
ate judgment evidently inspired his
.esignation, a vainglorious pride
irompted his encouragement of 'Re
publican favor and a greedy desire
to acquire still higher honor has In
duce him to connive and plot with
those who opposed him only a few
short months ago.
Tnis political conspiracy is for
iothing but to bring back to the Re
publican paity the control of govern
mental affairs and through it of pow-
ers and conditions that go to en
rich and endow’ the members of the
party in control. That Justice
Hughes thought so little of progres
sive legislation as to take part in
the play is remarkably like a man
whose sole desire is self aggran
dizement and self emulation.
The chief reasons he might argue
| against the Democratic administra-
ition is that the country is prosper
ous, that we have won an epoch-
|making victory in international law,
j that we have avoided with honor a
jstrugle that would have meant the
I acquisition of, or at least the subju
gation of a republic, our neighbor,

Hughes urges against Wilson. These
