The last few years have certainly brought us enough flights whose actual dollar-and-cents utility was difficult to discover, Yet almost all of them have had some practical value, however small. The day of regular transoceanic air service, for example, is undoubtedly nearer because of all of the recent ocean flights, ill-advised and luckless as many of them were., . But this flight over Mount Everest is something else again., No air line will ever be established over the wild, storm-racked mountain chain; no: knowledge of a plane's action under extremely ad verse conditions will be gained that could not be| gained just us well elsewhere, Yet there is something. about this flight that ap peal's to one's imagination. Perhaps it is the simple fact that it is so useless—and so perilous. Men who insist on risking their lives for no reason ex cept the inner feeling of satisfaction that comes from doing the different and the dangerous will always command our respect, even though they sometimes make us feel that they are acting fool ishly. The human animal, when you stop to think about it, is a queer and unexplainable creature, Fix him up in comfort and safety as th roughly as you can, he is more likely than not to wriggle out of it and try to break his neck against some ice-bound, gale swent crag on the other side of the globe. Let him know that on an inaccessible point of the map there is a sea that has never been sailed, or a mountain that has never been climbed, or a danger that has never been faced successfully, and he will not rest until he has tackled it. Why should this be? Heaven knows., There is something in man that makes it impossible for him to take a dare. This causes a good many unneéces sary deaths, from year to year, and leads us stay at-homes to wag our beards gravely; but ‘it also gives us a glimpse, every so often, of sheér mag nificence. \ One of the oldest of all axioms is that there are two sides to every question. : Somehow, too, it is the.first thing that gets for gotten when relations between two great powers become strained. Hach® side can seé only its own interpretation of things., Misunderstanding feeds upon its own fruits, grows as it feeds—and pres ently leads the two nations to a position where war is more than possible, . . For this reason every American ought to ponder over the interview given in New York recently hy! Yosuke Matsuoka, the Japanese statesman. Mr. Matsucka remarked bluntly that his people are quite as disturbed by the ‘“American. menace'” as we ourselves are hy the ‘“yellow peril.” He pointed out that while Japan has no fortifi cations or naval bases in American waters, we have gome in far eastern waters, almost under Japan's doorsill. He pointed out that for 25 years promi nent Americans have written books and made speeches calling on the nation to get ready for war with Japan. And he added: o “We have always known that we had ‘no capacity to wage war successfully against the richest and the most secure nation in the world. We therefore ~—we as a whole—have been given to believe that your arguments about your ‘necessities for defense’ against a Japanese danger had design behind them, “At times, and not far distant times, you spoke in terms, and displayed naval force in the Pacific, that caused cur people no little anxiety. It will take more than a statement that you are concerned mainly with maintaining anti-war machinery to pllay our popular anxiety."” All of this is both surprising and enlightening. We have always looked on ourselves as a peace loving nation faced, in the Pacifie, by a desighing, hard-boiled and militaristic power—Japan—from whom almost anything might be expected. And now it develops that the Japanese feel that thd exact reverse of all of this is true. We fear what they may do, they fear what we may do—and mis understanding and suspicion increase year by year. There' are two sides to every question, It is a good thing that we are able, at this stage of the game, to get a good look at Japan's side. It is easy enough to say that we have come to “the end of an era” in_our national history; and it has been saMoften enough, heaven knows, during the last few months. But for all its triteness, the saying is perfectly true, and the whole business is worth a good deal of examination. One aspect of the change is to be seen in the proposal whereby all security issues would come under the strict regulation of the federal govern ment. This, in all probability, means the passing of the old-time financial and industrial promoter—the man who built nothing and originated nothing but who had a genius for tying together into one big, and useful, concern a whole series of smaller firms that other men had built up. Sometimes this promoter was an out-and-out pirate, all fixed up with a plank which all suckers he cavtured had to walk; sometimes he performed a tremendously useful service for the nation as a whole; and, in the main, it is probably quite true that the great development in our industry in the iast three or four decades could never have taken place without him. - But it is hard to see how he could operate un der this new scheme for regulating security issues and security markets. The very essence of the old-time promoter’s game was that the process of organizing his companies and flotaing his stock issues he performed in the darkness—because it was in that process that his Vast profits originated, Hecause the country was expanding so fast, this often enough worked out very well, in the long run. Many a giant corporation contained vast quantities of water when it was first put together, but found before many yea:;‘é had passed that the natural growth of business had drained its water all out. But those eypansive days are over; and the im aginative and ingenious promoter who took advan tage of them can no longer be regarded as a use ful person. The proposed security marketing biil #imply recognizes that fact. It has beon said often, but is is very true—we have come to the end of an era, : : D e * A strip of “cotton road” laid in South Carolina six years ago, and eXposed to ugual traffic condi tions, has required no repair attention and is still in excellent condition. s The avefage person makes useof 8,000 to 16,000 words, Doctors krow 25,000 and lawyers 23,000. i nark has the most highly organized agricul ~ tural industry in the world, | - - I ! EXTRAORDINARY SESSION | LEGISLATURE | The demand for an extraordinary ses sion of the General Assembly of Georgia, Ifor the purpose of legalizing the sale of |beer in this state, has grown to be urgent land a necessity in order to increase the Irevenue of Georgia sufficiently to warrant ‘lexpenditures that are absolutely necessary |for the support of the state and its insti jtutions, eleemosynary, higher education iand the common schools, | This is not a time for criticism of the omissions of duty by the members of the legislature in the recent session, but it is a time for immediate and decisive action on their part in order that they may re deem themeselves from eriticism which, in the eyes of the people, is just. As a party principle and pledged to the people through the national Democratic party, it is the duty of Democratic legislators to enact legislation that will authorize the sale of 3.2 per cent beer in Georgia in conformity with the recent action of con gitss, . - 4 ~ Seventy days were spent in wrangling over minor matters by the legislators; the last session was a fiasco unworthy of rec ord, but now that it is over, and the water has passed over the dam, these repre sdntatives now have an opportunity to redeem themselves and make amends to‘ the people by agreing to serve in a payless session of the legislature to enact legisla tion authorizing and legalizing the sale of 3.2 per cent beer in this state. While thel legislators are in session, they should- go further and authorize action on the part of the people to vote on the question of repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Quite a number of states have acted on this matter already, and unless the rep resentatives act at the payless session, it will be two years before the people of! Georgia can have an opportunity of ex-| pressing themselves at the ballot box. The prohibition plank incorporated in the National Democratic platform, adopt ed in Chicago, reads: “We favor the re peal of the Eighteenth Amendment.” “To effect such repeal, we demand that congress immediaely propdse a constitu tional amendment to purely representative conventions in the states called to act solely on that proposal. “We urge the enactment of such meas ures by the several states as will actually promote temperance, effectively, prevent the return of the saloon and bring the liquor traffic into the open under complete supervision and control by the states. “Pending repeal, we favor imm;ediate} modification of the Volstead act to lega lize' the manufacture and sale of beer and other beverages of such alcoholic content as is permissable under the constitution and to provide therefrom a proper and needed revenue.” | The duty of all Democrats is plain; the party has spoken and directed the sale of 3.2 per. cent beer and pledged itself to the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. The responsibility for action rests wupon our representatives in the legislature. Legis lators can not afford to bicker and cam ouflage with these important issues by keeping Georgia in the doubtful column. These are unusual times; times that re quire men of strong character to stand up and fight for the principles of the Demo cratic party which is accomplishing so much for the relief of conditions and for the building of a greater and better nation. INCENTIVE FOR INCREASING BUSINESS Newspaper advertising is indispensable in business. In fact it has grown to be a necessity in order to conduct a successful business. All large successful firms, cor porations and manufacturers owe tiheir success to advertising. The Tribune, pub lished in Greer, S. C., takes occasion to comment on the value of newspaper adver tising in the following: - “Advertising pays!” ~ “That epigrammatic declarationisques tioned by no one informed in the history of \business and commercial development. It is a statement of fact, obvious and indis putable. “Quality and service have built vast rcommercial and industrial institutions, but with their handmade, advertising, greater ;institutions have been built in far less time and at far less cost. Advertising brings ’buyers and quality; service and advant ageous price keeps them. ~ “Tt is significant that the makers of those products whose copyrighted names are synonymous with the product itself have all been large-scale advertisers. Mak ing a “better mousetrap” wasn’t enough. ~ “In every business and community there is some far-seeing and enterprising manu facturer or merchant who raises his prod uct and business name above the common ‘]lqe.vel by making advertising work for lm.” ~ Advertising, like many inventions, of re cent years, has grown to be a necessity and not a ‘luxury. The purchasing public look to the 'newspapers for their storé news as much so as they do for the news of the day in the news columns. ' All successful national products are ad vertised goods or preparations. Millions iof dollars are invested annually in adver tising space in the newspapers. If the re turns in business did not warrant the out lay, these concerns, officered by the best business men in the country certainly would not continue appropriations from vear to year and many of them increasing their newspaper advertising each year. A six-inch ledge affords ample room for a mountain goat to turn around. They can climb along mountain walls inaccesible to others. ~ Thermos bottles are not all packed in the 'same way, and milk will not keep in all bottles the same length of time for that reason, St | The wise little animals of the woods{ take their sun-baths regularly wheneverj opportunity permits, ; OCCUR TO YOU - - A Little of Everything, ~ Not Much of Anything BY HUGH ROWE !____________“_—““”‘”""’“'_”—-""‘"_. | If leadership .is what the ' country needs now, and the . example of President Roose | velt in putting congress to . work solving’” our economic | problems so indicates, the ex ! ample of Representative Eu ~ gene A. Epting in taking the leadership for a special pay ~ less session of the legislature to legalize beer in Georgia warrants; and is being given the praise of his constituents, As Representative Epting said in a statement in the newspapers last Sunday, the question of a special session to settle the heer question demands decisive action. No responsible person, as he says, should dodge or treat lightly this important issue, One great criti tism of public men' in recent vears has been their tendency to dodge issues. President Roosevelt as he has demonstrated, is no ‘art ful dodger.” Neither is lugene Epting, and the people are sure tc reward him for his courage ana stamina and his common sense, The utter disregard of mo torists for stop signs, when approaching the intersection of streets, has grown to be common occurrences in all sections of the city, Especially is this true as relates to the Boulevard entering Barber street. At this point, it is alleged that motorists seldom hesitate be fore entering Barber street, but at a high rate of speed, they turn into this thoroughfare with out regard for the rights of mo torists and pedestrians traversing Barber street. Another point that J:as grown to be dangerous is at the intersection of Hancock aven ue and Jackson street. Autoists traveling Kast Hancock ave. sel dom stop for the sign stationed at this place. Unless the stop signs ordinances are enforced, serious accidents, if not fatalities are bound to occur. s The death of Asbury H, Cook, in Atlanta last week, has brought to mind a former citi zen of Athens, who held the friendship of many of the citi zens of Athens. For a number of years, Mr. Cook resided here. He was en gaged in the taxi business and was one of the most reliable and ener getic operators in that line of business. In those days, many of the trains were scheduled to leavae Athens at early hours and the people were almost entirely de pendent upon the hacks to get them to the train, For a decade or more, “Cook, the hackman” never missed a train nor did he ever al low a passenger to get left, irres pective of the weather or other 'wise. His slogan was—"“l7 never lslm-p,“ The people had confidence iin him and patronized him olmost | exclusively, | Treaffic conditions, at the in ~ tersection of College avenue ~ and Clayton street, have grown ~ dangerously serious sinse traf ~ sic restrictions was removed a } year or more ago. ‘ Autoists have no regard for ‘making turns, right, left and U turns are made without regard for ‘the safety of pedestrians. One of the most dangerous turns is cut: ting corners, If autoists are per mitted to make any kind of turne desired, they should be restricted ;lo enter the middle of the street Fl\efnre turning, either up Clayton, down Clayton, but the common practice is to cut across the street at any angle. The authori-: ties may have a good reason for making this an open point as re lates to traffic, but they have se lected the most congested section in the city. If some one does no: get injured or Kkilled, it wili be due entirely to a kind Providence. SEVEN YEARS AGO # April 4, 1926 Cotton: No market—Holiday, . Weather: Fair.

C.— For the first time since the Volstead Act was placed on the statute books. there appeated Saturday night a possibility that the house might be given an opportunity to express itself directly on the sale of beer and light wines. Washington, D. C. __ The pro rosed railroad consolidation aect, under which the railroads of this country would be merged into a few great systems within the next few years was ordered favorably reported Saturday by the senate interstate commerce committee, LIGUOR SQUARES ITSELF COLUMBUS, O.— Senator W. P. Haynes of Coshocton has an idea to promote temperance, in case state prohibition laws are discarded. Haynes believes that if liguor is dispensed in square bot tles and thus made hard to carry that temperance will be promoted. BANDITS BEWARE! CINCINNATI, O, — A good man for bandits to avoid is Lieut, Alfred Schild.

C. MeCord. In addition to Admiral Moffett, Commander McCord and Lieuten ant Commander Wiley, there were aboard the Akron when she took off from her Lakehurst hanger at 7:30 o'clock Monday night, Cown manders H., B. Cecil” and F. T. Berry and Col. A. F. Masbury, United States army. The Akron was on a test flight which was to have taken her along the New England coast. She was to have returned Wednesday. Such test flights are frequent. The Akron returned two weeks ago from an extended cruise to Fa nama. There was no definite informa tion as to what happened aboard the ship. The intensity of the storm was noted in wireless reports from craft that fought to reach the scene of the Akron’s fall. Light ning whipped across the black skies and rain poured down, while strong winds tore at the huge ship Wwhose powerful motors challenged them. A bolt of lightning was believed to have sundered the ship, though details were lacking to confirm it. The Akron has ridden out many a worse storm and it was doubted that it would have bowed to the gale alone. Reported “All Well” | The last word from the Akron to reach the station at Lakehurst was at 8 p.m. Monday night at which time the airship reported “all well” aboard. An S O S picked up at 1:30 o’clock Tuesday morning, and the craft must already have been dis abled. No further word was_re ceived until the Phoebus wireless ed at 1:50 a.m.: “Airship Akron with 77 men aboard went down near Barnegat lightship., Keep sharp lookout We are twenty miles from Barne [gat Light now. Chief officer and three men saved.” ' Copelnad, the radio man, who was one of the three members of the Akron’' screw picked up by the Phoebus, died from his injuries shortly afterward.
