The presence of Mr, Brishane in Athens is an eventful oceasion in which all citizens Are interested. His writings are not only widely read throughout the United States, but here he is known and appreciated for his. writings, opinions and comments on subjects of national importance by hun dreds of citizens. < A welécome of gladness and appreciation of his visit is extended by the Banner- Herald on behalf of the people of Athens, with the assurance that the doors of every home in Athens stand ajar 'in honor -of this distinguished American. | GREED AND SELFISHNESS i * In a letter declining an invitation to d:- liver an address at the Emory Uhiversity, President Roosevelt expressed regrets, and then gave an outline of conditions, the! cause and cure for the malady. Greed and selfishness were stressed as the ' chief causes of present problems facing the people of this nation and if the American| people would make fair play their objec tive in their deali?gs with others most of our problems would disappear. There is muech in the President’s re marks deserving of thought and study, es pecially the fundamentals as outlined by him. In his letter, the following extracts will be of interest: bl “May I add that in considering our problems the purpose or goals of our democracy should be kept constantly in mind. These purposes are very clearly stated in the preamble of the Constitution of the United States, and they are just as good goals today as they were when “We, the people,” wrote them into the preamble of our constitution. i “All of the purposes enumerated may be attained by means of fair play or a square deal. If every American were to make fair play his objective in his deal ings with others most of our problems would disappear, many of which have arisen because of greed and selfishness. At times we may have lost sight of the fundamental purposes for which our con stitution was ordained and established, in which case we lose our way just as does the mariner who takes his eyes off his compass or off the beacon light.” ‘GOAL OF NAT:‘%PAIQL RECOVEVRY _ President Roosevelt believes - that the goal of national recovery is near at hand. The expression given out by the President was brought about from the announce ment of the western railroads that a cut of 5 percent in the pay of all employes would be made effective on June 1. “The order will embrace a million men and women, now employed by these railroads. The President has requested the railroads to postpone action for six months. The re quest of the President will, no doubt, be granted and by that time, the exacl con dition should be known. 1t is alleged that while passenger rates have been reduced, the inerease in receipts more than offsets the.reduction. However, it remains to be seen just what action will be taken by the railroads. Conditions have generally improved throughout the nation and it is believed that the increased busi ness will enable the railroads to continue the pay of their employes at the present rate. It would be, indeed, unfortunate to assess a cut in the wage scale of employes of any industry or business, at this time. However, we have faith in President Roosevelt and believe that he will receive the cooperation of the railroad officials just as he has received the cooperation of all other interests. ' FORD TAKES THE LEAD The announcement that Henry Ford has ordered a 10 per cent pay increase to his ‘;20,000 workers, and that he intends to re store the minimum pay scale of $6 a day [as rapidly as possible. should be a stimu lant for other employers of labor to emu late his action. The increase in pay of workers is bound to contribute substantially to the early re. turn of settled condiions. With increased pay, business in all lines is bound to profit. The more imoney earned by workers mean ;that more money will be spent in all chan nels of txfxde. - Unemployment and reduced seales of pay are the real cause of the period of de pression from which the nation has suf fered during the past five vears. With a return of steady employment and of for mer scales of pay, the country will benefit and the passing of adverse business condi tions will be given an impetus that will G epmandey 0 g YE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA A DAILY CARTOON Oy, |~ s | 2 .

G. Sutlive) managing editor of the Savannah Press and one of the most brilliant wri ters in Georgia. £ Editor Sutlive is here for the meeting of the Press Institute,i which opens this evening with a reception to he given by the Uni-; versity of Georgia in Memorial hall. We do not know how long" Mr. Sutlive has been engaged im newspaper work, but when we e tered the profession thirty-sevien’ years ago, he was looked upon; by other members of the Fourth ess tate, as one of the pioneers in journalism in Georgia. Of course,{ thirty-seven years is not such a long time and the fact that Mr. Butlive Was 8 pionees or considerl ed so, at that time, should not bo_} construed as a measure for his present age. To our own knowl edge and we are willing to vouch for it, he is the handsomest male ‘member of the Press association and one of the youngest in looks, if not in years. So there you are, ‘Bill. That is saying enough, “aint” it? i Another prominent Georgian ’ and successful editor and pub lisher, ‘Milt Fleetwood, of the | Cartersville Tribune-News, is with us this evening Editor Fleetwood is the presie dent of the Georgia Press assooia-:l tion and one of the best knownl newspapermen in the state. [Be sides, he takes an active part in not only home affairs, but in the affairg of the state. He is serving his first term as president of the Press association, having been vice-president for the past several vears. He is active in the work of the association and has given much of his time to its every interest. Popular with all the members, he is affectionately known to them as! “Fleet.” ! The idol of the members of ! the association is Miss “Emi- ! ly"—Known to the public as f Miss Woodward It was Miss Woodward, who organized the | Press Institute. Miss Woodward, a former presi-! dent for several terms, will preside | at a number of the round table discussighs here this week. Be- | sides she will preside at “An| Evening with Georgla Authors” at a dinner to be given by the Savan nah Morning News and Press on | Friday evening, at the Georgian hotel. Authors of note will be} present and take part in the pro- | sram Wwhich will be oné of much | interest and benefit to lhustl rresent, 1 There are so many nota- ll bies who will be here in add- | tion to those invited for spe- | - cial addresses, it is impossible | to mention them all in advan- | ced writing. We -may expect, howewer, Jack | Williams, of the Waycross Herald- | Journal, former president of the | Georgia Press Association; Editor Jim Williams, of the .Greensbore | Herald-Journal and dean of the| editors of the state; Ernest Camp | of the Walton Tribune, former president and now poet laurate pf ! the association will’ be here.

REED TALKS TO KIWANIS CLUB George Washington was the sub ject of T. W. Reed's address be fore the Kiwanig club Tuesday at the Georgian hotel at 2 o'clock. Mr Reed spoke of the character of the man, and of the lessons which men of today can draw from him: The lessons of sacrifice, prayer, duty, honor, and other no ble precepts, He compared the leadership of Washington to the leadership of President Roosevelt, who, he said, was very much like our first president, ~ Visitors at thig meeting of the elub included Kiwanian B. M. Drake of Jackson, and Jim Morton. The attendance prize was won by Judge T. F. Green, the oldtimers, nex¢ to “Shack”, ed ter of the Oglethorpe Echo. These and many more whom we wil have an opportunity to mention ‘Quring ithe week. Hal Stanley, recorderiniy secretary and the bulwark of the association will be here. A meeting without Hal Stanley ~ would be as dry as the Sahara desert. In using the word “dry” in con nection with Mr., Stanley’s pres ence at our meetings it is purely figurative and used advisedly, since no action has been taken on the repeal of the bone-dry law in Georgia. Of coure, it is.understood that newspaper folk never become “dry” they usually keep a supply on hand and never allow it to run low. They believe in the old adage that “a stitch in time saves nine,” consequently, they are us usally prepared for the worst. But whatever faults HMal Stanley may have, he is one of the most affa ble gentiemen we have ever mel and "one of the finest characters we hava’ ever known. i ! = VALUES - EXTRAORDINARY! \ : The Famous | \4‘ Products A SPECIAL DEAL STARTS MORNING ‘ A e R ie R 6 Cakes WOODBURY’S } Facal Soap— -1 Jar WOODBURY’S 5 - Cream (Cleansing, ; Facial or Cold) — 1 1 Box WOODBURY'’S 1 Facial Powder (Nat- | ural, Radiant or | Rachel) — atoe 14 1 Bottie WOODBURY'S %Tgm ; Shampoo— s FREEWith the Above Group: ONE BOT =R TLE JERGEN'’S LOTION! . J. Cc. PENNEY COMPANY. INC. WASHINGTON HEARS WDCTHENT UMD WASHINGTON — (AP}—Push ing quietly ahead without the fanfare that has marked the air mail contract hearings, grand jury is inquiring exhaustively into lobbying—if sueh there were --in connection with huge ‘army contracts. One report circulated Wednes day was that at least five persons may bé indicted before the grand jury ends its investigation. Representative Hamilton Fish (R.-NY), bitter critic ~of airmail contract ecancellation, asked pub licly Tuesday night if the air mail action was not “a smoke screen to cover up irregularities in the war department now under inves tigation by a grand jury.” Underway for more than two weeks, grand- jurers have taken testimony from more than a Score of prominent ment, including a majority of the army’s high com mand now on duty here. Officials have consistently re fused to discuss it. Apparently, however, the inquiry has dug deen est into matters surroundifig the army’s $10,000,000 motorization program. Reports have never been offi cially denied that a group of men, including. at least one man promi nent within the American Legion, approached certain ~ automobile manufacturers with a claim that war department specifications could be influenced, and that a sum once mentioned as $2,000,000 be split between them. The grand jury now has swung temporarily back. to the Hoover administration. I'rederick H. Payne, former assistant secretary of war, was asked to testify Tues day on incidents during his regime and later. _ The inquiry probably ,will con tinue into next week. Harry - H. Wooding, assistant secretary of of war, has been asked to testify again although he had appeared for more than three hours pre viously. Ralph T. O'Neil, former na tional commander of the American Legion, also wiil be heard at his pwn request, < The ‘Washington Post said Wednesday it expected indiet ments to be returned against at least five persons. No word has been given that any major war department offi cial would be included in this group, but virtually everyone tes tifying in the grand jury room has been askgd to waive immunity from prosecution. It was disclosed that Payne be questioned among other things ‘of his knowledge of a reported at tempt by Joseph Silverman, jr., New York, “trader,” to exchange a large supply of gnderwear for army supplies costing $8,000,000. §ilverman has been the only man officially mentioned by name during the protracted investiga tion.
