SPRINGTIME THOUGHT
. “Day unto day uttereth speech,” Read Psalm 19,
" Here at “Pine-Tops,” in the midst of more
srringtime beauty than I can easily absorb, I am
Jlttem%ting to put thoughts into words. On the
surface of my mind I find this uppermost thought:
fG'od ‘surely never meant this lovely world, upon
which! He has lavished so much beauty and peace
md order, to be torn and marred by war and human
strife =and - unbrotherliness, All nature calls to
peace and harmony and joy. Why shouid man,
God's_highest creation, be a jarring note in the
scene?’
. Perhars, if we kept closer to nature, and more
‘benst@tly contemplated the thoughts of God there
@n expressed, we, too, like Thoreau, would find a
mew unity and integrity and simplicity in life.

Thee in its beauty.

! CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY
The United Daughters of the Confeder
acy are making plans for the proper cel
ebration of Memorial Day to be held this
month. Throughout the southland the day
will be set aside and sacredly observed by
the sympathizers of the great struggle.
The descendants of the brave men who
fought for the cause they believed to be
right, and the good women who wjre left
at home to care for their possessions,
fought as hard for the success of the Con
federacy as did the men,
This year should be one of unusual ob
servance. There are few of these old sold,
iers left and another year, the roll will bd
reduced to a minimum. The significance
of the day should be brought to the atten
tion of the children of the present gener
ation and the deeds and valor of their
forefathers impressed upon them as a
token to be cherished and held in the
hearts and memory of every descendant
of a Confederate soldier.
However, the days of the War Between
the States have long since passed. The
sound of bugles and the roar of cannons
are no longer heard; bitterness and ha
tred that once wrangled in the breasts of
the Confederate soldiers have passed and
the nation has been reunited and a broth
erly love spreads over all sections of the
country. :
THE DAYS OF CARRIE NATION
A half century ago, Carrie Nation, of
Kansas, stirred the people from cen
ter to circumference of the nation by
slashing and destroying buildings in
which saloons were located, and destroy
ed the bars and the contents, whisky,
wines and beers. Mrs, Nation had no re
gard for person and was without fear. Her
life was threatened on many occasions,
but she kept up her work of smashing
saloons. No one seemed to check her—
not even the officers of the law and for
years, Carrie Nation was a holy terror to
operators of saloons,
In this generation, we have another
Carrie Nation in the person of Mrs. Irene
Kite, who has commenced a campaign
smashing slot machines without regard
for person or location, The new model of
Carrie Nation is a woman thirty-two years
of age, good looking and with an iron
nerve. The “one-armed’” bandit, as she
terms the slot machine, is smashed and
torn down irrespective of ownership, place
or condition. SR “
The ‘“Modern Carrie,” however, has
come to grief. Officers arrested her and
prosecuted her in the state courts on the
charge of ‘“malicious destruction of prop
erty’”. Just how she will cqme out in her
trial remains to be seen, but from reports,
the ministerial association of Alton, Il is
defending her in the charges of alleged
violation of the law. The ministers met in
session and enacted resolutoins endorsing
‘Mrs. Kite which may have deciding favor
in the trial of the case.
SALE OF NARCOTICS SHOWS
INCREASE
The increased sales of the various nar
cotics in this country have grown at an
alarming rate during the past few months.
In fact, it has become one of the greatest
perils to the American people. The ex
ports of ‘““dope” from Japan and China
show that the consumption of narcotics is
increasing and that our people are becom
ing more and more addicted to the drug
habit.
It is interesting to mnote the report 'of
Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau,
who claims that gangs who used to use
and deal in liquor are now using and sell
ing narcotics, the demand being greater
than ever before. Besides, the chief of
the United States Bureau of Narcotics
states that this country is second only to
China in the traffic of narcotics. There
has been an increase of over three-hun
dred per cent of seizures in the United
States since 1935,
With this alarming condition existing,
so recognized by the officials and law en
forcement officers, certainly it is time for
action to be taken in the suppression of
this deadly traffic. In a statement issued
by Harry J. Anslinger, chief of the Bu
reau of Narcotics, the following will be
of interest:
“In 1936, Narcotics Bureau agents
seized 386 tons of growing plants,and
dried bulk marihuana, and 15,715 cigar
ettes—an increase of 97 per cent over
1985.”
Commenting on the foregoing, the Al
bany Herald says:
“Tt causes emotional instability as was
revealed in the recent trial of two New
Jersey girls for the killing of a bus driver.
“For whom were these tons of madness
grown?”’ the writer asks.
“Many of them were grown for our
school children, our boys and girls; for
youngsters with a nickel to spend on a
‘reefer’, a quarter with which to ‘throw a
party,’ instead of buy hot lunch.”
A serious condition has been developed
in the production and sale of a home
grown narcotics, marihuana. This plant
is said to be very prolific in some sections
where it has become quite an industry.
This class of “dope” has not shown a de
crease, but on the other hand sales are
increasing daily and in larger quantities.
Only stricter law enforcement and heavier
fines may have the effect, but it is quite
apparent that the drug racket can only be
enforced through the cobperation of all
law abiding citizens.
The standard pursuit planes for the
United States are the Curtiss P-6, the
Boeing P-26 and the new Curtiss P-36. The
30 caliber and the .50 caliber guns are
standard equipment,

Recovery Program
Costing Seven Billion
(Continuea Trcm Page One)
the treasury has held inactive. lest
it lead to inflation, by borrowing to
meet the purchase cost. Putting
this gold into circulation by issuing
gold certificates to the banks will
increase bank resources. Member
banks of the federal reserve system
are required to keep a certain
amount of funds on deposit with
reserve banks as security against
deposits.)
Roosevely said the total ‘“out of
pocket cost to the federal govern
ment” under the new PWA pro
gram should be limited to $1,000,-
000,000 and that loans or grants
should not be made on projects
which cannog¢ be started within six
months after legislation is enacted
and completed within a year and
a half,
Optional PWA Loans
The president proposed that
PWA advances should be put into
optional form: either the existing
method of a 45 per cent grant and
55 per cent loan or a loan of the
whole sum with the federal gov
ernment assuming the interest pay
ment.
Mr. Roosevelt said there still
were improvements in government
and business practices which would
be “a definite aid to recovery.”
“While I do not wish in this
message to over-emphasize some
of the needs,” the president said,
“I do want to say that I believe’
that we must be definitely aware
of certain of them-—the elimination
of future tax exempt bonds of all
kinds of government agencies; the
subjecting of government salaries
and wages of all kinds to federal
and state income taxes; a serious
undertaking to solve the railroad
problem and the problems of mo
nopolistic practices and price fix
ing.
“The never-ceasing evolution of
human society will doubtless bring
forth new problems which will re
quire new adjustments. Our im
mediate task is to consolidate and
maintain the gains achieved.
“In this situation there is no
reason and no occasion for any
American to allow his fears to be
aroused or his energy and enter
prise to be paralyzed by doubt or
uncertainty.
“Our situation ig vastly different
from that which we faced five
years ago. ILet us use the tools
already forged and laid out on the
bench. The problem calls for im
mediate action both by tne gov
ernment and by the people,
“Let Us Work Together”
~ “Let every business man set out
to use hig strength of mind and
heart and his confidence in his fel
low man and his country. Ler
every labor leader finq not how
work can be stopped but how it
can be made to proceed smoothly,
continuously and fairly. Let every
public official consider 'that his
task is to use his authority so that
the service he renders is adapted
to wcurbing abuses and helping
honest effort. Let every one of us
work together to move the life of
the nation forward.”
«Saying that the United States,
a “successful democracy” faces a
troubled world, Mr. Roosevelt said:
“The United /States retaining
free speech and free exchange of
views can furnish a dynamic ex
ample of successful government,
provided the nation can unite in
nractical measures when the times
call for wunited action.
“In the western hemisphere the
good neighbor policy has strength
ened so the American republics
that a spiritual unity in our re
lations now prevails. Can that good
neighbor message be accepted and
practiced in our national life?”

sion, which many administration
critics have blamed upon the Whitg
House, Mr. Roosevelt saiq efforts
of the government to stimulate
business were ‘so well recognized”
at the end of 1936 that “both the
business community and the gov
ernment felt that a large measure
of the government's spending ac
tivities could be materially re
duced.”
“But the very vigor ¢f the re
covery,” the DpPresident continued,
“in both durable and consumers'
goods brought into the picture
early in 1937 certain highly wun
desirable practices which were in
large part responsible for the eco
nomic decline which began in the
late months of that year.
“There were man, reasons for
thig over-production. One was fear
—fear of war abroad, fear of in
flation, fear of nation-wide strikes.
None of these fears have been
borne out. There were other causes
of over-production and these causes
differed in each industry.
The result, Mr. Roosevelt said,
was that production outran the
ability to buy and some prices rose
faster than warranted. He em-
Pphasized thag “in fairness” it should
‘be noted that gince January 1, 1937
“the president has recommended to

Imp ea s “ -
EVERY straight-thinking Georgian wants Georgia to have better roads,
better educational facilities, better-equipped institutions, better pro
visions for social security for old and young.
Georgia, however, always has been and always will be primarily an
agricultural state—and AGRICULTURE CAN NOT PAY THE BILL!
Agriculture, today, is paying all it can afford to pay. It can’t stand
any heavier burdens. ®
If our state is to have what it needs — what it MUST HAVE —in
the way of governmental services, there is only one solution. Business
and industry in Georgia must be encouraged to grow. to prosper. That's
the only way the state’s material wealth, its purchasing power can be in
creased so that we can afford these desirable improvements in Georgia.
Any blow at industry or business in Georgia is a direct blow at
Georgia’s farmers—and a blow at every man, woman and child in
Georgia. Georgia’s ONLY hope for her rightful, brighter future is that.
indusiiy and business find the sort of treatment and consideration in_
Georgia that will enable them to expand in confidence, to grow with
assurance — and thereby create in Georgia the new and added wealth
which is absolutely essential to the forward march of the state. ,
