THIS IS EDUCATION WEEK IN GEORGIA ' Much interest has been aroused throughout the I state by the directors of the Georgia Education As- 1 sociation to secure new members in that organization. I Georgia has 16,000 educators or teachers and yet jij only three thousand are members of the association. I If the full teaching force in this state should become I members of the association it would be one of -he I strongest organizations in the country and much good •i could be accomplished by the teachers in improving the schools of Georgia and bettering the condition and 1 the system now in vogue. Virginia has ten thousand members; Kentucky 1 over eight thousand and Alabama and Mississippi I over seven thousand with much smaller numbers -f I teachers in actual service. If the teachers of tho I state had a complete organization there is no doubt I but that teachers’ salaries would be paid more I promptly by the state than they now are. It would I enable the county and city schools to secure bettor I teachers, a requirement being a ortain number of I units and college diplomas before teachers could en- ■ ter tiio sendee as association members. The next annual meeting of the association will I"" to held in Savannah next May at which it is hoped I that the membership will show an increase of sev eral thousand members. Such a condition can be ! brought about and with systematic work on the part of the directors and members several thousand new members should be enrolled before the next { annual meeting. IS NATIONAL PROHIBITION A FAILURE? Governor Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, has stirred up a hornet’s nest in a controversy with the federal authorities over the enforcement of the pronibitoin law. The governor of Pennsylvania charges that tho federal authorities do not enforce the law as they should in that state while others In authority are congratulating Secretary Mellon on the splendid man ner in which the Volstead act is being enforced. Be that as it may, there is widespread opposition to the present law- Not that the people who deaire a mod ification of the Volstead act are In favor of the return of the saloon or of taking the bridle off absolutely and allowing the sale of whiskey to run riot, yet they believe that some modification should be made in the law which would permit the purchase of whiskey, wines nnd beers without forcing them to become vio- lalors of the law. The editor of the Atchison Globe in a card gives sound arguments on the success of state nnd prohibition and the failure of federal or nation wide prohibition. He says: ' “Stato prohibition was a success, but national ^^prohibition has been a fizzle. Under the old plan we had a fairly efficient administration of the laws, but nowadays it is only a bluff, and not a real bluff at that In lots of places there is u still behind every stump, nnd the stuff people are drinking is enough to run any nation crazy, It’s a funny thing, but since we declared the wholo country dry It app'ears as if everybody wanted to drink more than , ever—kind of psy- rhological, I guess, as the professors say. I don’t know what effect prohibition will have’ on the campaign. Probably the politicians will tty to sidestep it, as they usually do. But anybody can perceive that national prohlbtion is a failure” Kansas was the second state in the union to go dry. The editor of the Globe is now in his 70th year He has been devoted to the advocacy of the law and during all these years of his life he has seen his state under wet regime, state prohibition regime and now federal. After an analysis of all of the systems of prohibition enforcement he has arrived at the so lution as stated in the foregoing. It is indeed unfortunate that people will drink whiskey, but so long as it is made and so long as it can bo purchased there is a percentage of the Amer ican people, who will have their drink. That being “ true, it is certainly better for the neoplc to be able to secure pure whiskey rather than the poison which is now being sold throughout the country without re striction, moral or legal. Congress should provide some modification of the law which would’gain for its enforcement the sympathy of the people and open a way through which such beverages can be secured without citizens becoming violators of the law and criminals. f PROBE OF VETERAN’S BUREAU From reports eminating from the probe which is being conducted by government officials of the Vet eran's Bureau alarming disclosures are being made of aft, down-right stealing, trading and trafficking in ery conceivable manner. It appears that those in . arge of the bureau conducted an organized cam paign to dispose of everything coming into their pos- • session and converting it into money.' It is alleged that 98j995 suits of winter pajamas, made by moth ers, wives, sisters and sweethearts for the Red Cross, were sold in original packages for 30 cents the suit- These pajamas were intended for the soldier boys who arc in hospitals through the country, but not a suit of the underwear stitched and made by loving hands ever reached the ones for which they were in tended. It seems robbery through blackmail process; hold ing up at the point of a gun; sandbagging; or bur glarizing the home is not in the same category of crime as the crimes which have been committed by those in charge of tho Veteran’s Bureau and who sbouli be held responsible and the severest punishment pre- sreibed under the law should be meted to them. .WEDNESDAY.'NOVEMBER 21. 1623 Berion Braley’s Daily Poems t DIET The Fat Lady said, ••Well, of courae.’ you muy scof f .
