RUN THE CRIMINAL DOWN
• It is to be hoped that the action of Governor Walk
er iff offering a. reward of ¥500 for t\ie capture of
the guilty parties who murdered Mrs. Maggie Sim
mons and young daughter, of Jackson county, will
stimulate interest and cause every activity to be put
forward for the arrest and conviction of the criminal
or criminals.
The crime is one of the most horrifying committed
In this state in years and it should not be allowed to
go at rest without the fullest investigation and every
effort spent to run down and place the responsibility
where it belongs.
A mother and child, in a thickly settled commu-
ity, carried to an unoccupied house, murdered and
their bodies cremated is sufficient to arouse and
fire the very souls of every red blooded man in
Georgia. Humble in life, without influential rela
tives or money. This unfortunate woman and child
paid the toll, with their lives, for the hellish designs
of Kotnc depraved, vicious and brute-like man or'
men. If this case is allowed to go without punish-
ment’and the guilty parties not brought to justice, we
may expect similar occurrences. It was an outrage on
decency, morals and the law and nothing short of
Crimea committed in darkest Africa. j ;,
’If necessary, rewards should bo raised by the pub
lic to augment the reward offered by Governor
Walker and every piece of machinery at tne com
mand of the state should be utilized in the prosecu
tion of the search for the outlaws who are guilty of
the crime.
PARDONING WAR LAW VIOLATORS
The wholesale pardons granted by President Cool-
idge to those who violated the war laws during the
late hostilities was unjust to the loyal citizens of
America. A. man who is treacherous to his country
during the trying times of war, deserves severe
punishment and no mercy. There may have been
some cases in the pardon list deserving some consid
eration, but £o enter into a wholesale dismissal from
the prisons of disloyal citizens is unsafe for the coun
try and an Imposition upon law and the morals of
society.
It is true that a commission of investigation - made
sweeping recommendations for pardons, but be that
«« it may, sympathy and emotion should not be al
lowed to enter into cases where criminals of this
character ore bn trial. The president should have
set arido such recommendations and stood firm for
the enforcement of the war laws and for the pun
ishment of all disloyal citizens. It is not a matter of
the war being over, but the question'on which the
president was called upon,to pass on was whetner
the courts had erred in their sentences and if the
prisoners were guilty of the charges preferred against
them at the time of trial. If'they were, then there
iiid lie no leniency shown but they should be
hired to serve their full sentence and the stamp
disloyal citizen placed upon them for all time
to come.
| THE PEOPLE ARE BECOMING SANER
From recent reports of thb Federal Council of
' Churches, the number of lynchings throughout the
mation for the present year shows a decrease of fifty
.pvr cent over that of. last year. A wholesome and
sahe sign for the betteirment of all communities in all
sections of the country. '
■ The fact that lynchings are as prevelant ‘in the
east and west as they are in the south, is positive
proof that such outbreaks and violations of the law
ace attributed to one crime more than all others
combined and whether such crime is committed in
Maine or California, the same punishment is meted
as has been the case in some of the southern states.
The Federal Council of Churches is headed by
[ ‘southern men; men who are as much oppossd tp
I.vnch law as men In any other section of the nation
and it is attributed largely to their efforts that the
nu mber of lynchings during the past year has shown
i nch a decrease.
. The abomniable crime for which men are usually
lynched is far reaching and has the same effect on
those living in the extreme sections of the north as it
does on those residing in the extreme sections of the
south. However,.* brighter day for law enforce
ment and a sentiment'for the upholding of Hie law is
dawning on the. nation and prompt trials, convictions
and severe, punishment by the courts will aid materi
ally in reducing the number of lynchings caused from

Where driving’s a guarded pro

With motor-cop* always on hand,
Where all the car* move in pro

And all that you need Is a band.
I like to get off of the highway,
And’ drive over N roads .that are

Unmapped and unmarked, for r

Away from the sign-boards and
