Vickers Declines Place In Officers’ Reserve THEODORE TILLER IS IN UMEUGHT SELECTED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TO WRITE FULL FACTS ABOUT THE PRESENT W AR. BRYAN SETS TRUE LOYALTY EXAMPLE PEACE ADVOCATE WARNS AGAINST ABUSING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND RESISTING THE SELECTIVE DRAFT LAW. Mr. E. F. Vickers, of this city, has declined the place offered him in the officers’ reserve school at Fort Ogle thdrpe, Ga., near Chattanooga. It was Mr. Vicker’s intention at the time he made application and was ac cepted for a trial in this camp to real ly take the course, but circumstances have since arisen which tended to cause a change of mind. Mr. Vickers is assistant cashier of the Citizens Bank of this city, and his association with that institution since its organization has naturally made him a valuable man to the bank. The fall season is opening up and a new man, no matter how competent, would necessarily have much to learn Ralph Smith, Washington corres pondent of the Atlanta Journal, has the following to say in the Sunday edition of his paper about Theodore Tiller, former Bainbridge newspaper man, and son-in-law of Mr. L. F. Pat terson of this city: In Washington the latest topic of conversation at the National Press club is that of Theodore Tiller has gone over to the committe on public information. The National Press club is the home of the three hundred Washington correspondents and Theo dore Tiller is by all odds the greatest all-round Washington newspaper man that the present news-gathering sys tem at the capital has produced. It means much to the entire United States of America to have Theodore Tiller as an aid to George Creel, chairman of the government’s publi city campaign, inasmuch as no man who ever came here is so persistent a producer of live, real, active and inter esting information as is this same Til er. He is a Georgian. Eleven years of If there is any more consistent and insistent advocate of peace and al most peace at any price it is William J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan did many things which we did not agree with before the declaration of war, even rushing to Washington in an effort to have Congress insert a referendum in the war resolution. Many thought that Bryon would continue his nagging even after the declaration, but he as set an example of true patriotism which should shame the disloyal element all over the country. Mr. Bryan realizes that war times are not times for dissent- ions and strife, and that a house di vided against itself is likely to en counter a tumble. Read these two articles from the pen of the Nebraskan and published in a recent issue of his Commoner: Abusing Free Speech Before our nation enters a war it is perfectly proper to discuss the wis dom of going to war, but the discus sion is closed when congress acts. After that, no one should be permit- life in the midst of most strenous ted to cloak attacks upon his govern- cosmopolitian surroundings has not' nient or aid to the enemy under the effaced one whit of the fine Georgia claim that he is exercising freedom of characteristics which stamped him as ! speech.

He came from Bainbridge, Decatur county, Georgia, where for a term of years he ran the Bainbridge Argus.

Georflia. WMMMM/YWMMMM VMM VMVAVWMMMMVMVMMW of anything Mark Twain has ever written. In fact, ‘way down in his heart, like every other newspaper man Theodore Tiller has a firm reso lution to write the stories he en countered in endeavoring to make the Bainbridge Argus the equal of the London Times. Editing The Argus “It was called the Argus,” says Tiller, “which means it has a thou sand eyes—and I can truthfully say that most of them were shut most of the time.” They abuse free speech. And this applies to attacks on the Allies well as to attacks upon the United States. We can no more allow our allies to be crushed than we can afford to be crushed ourselves. The defeat of our allies would throw the whole burden of the war upon us. We must stand together and fight it through There are only two sides to a war— every American must be on the side of the United States. Resisting The Draft The number of those resisting the draft is, fortunately, very few: there should be none. Some are conscient iously oposed to war—any war—and may prefer to submit to any punish ment the government sees fit to inflict rather than to take up urms, but even such can not justify resistance or the He tells tales of having to shut giving of encouragement to those who down the paper because he oould net do resist. Still less can tolerance be be trusted for a quater to buy gaso line to run the engine which furnish ed motive p^wer to the press. He tells tales of hiring a former Geor gia legislator to collect the money due from advertisements, only to find at the end of the month that the former legislator had liquidated the debts by accepting large stocks of liquor for himself. Then one day he came to the part ing of the ways. He had the oppor tunity to become a railroad steno grapher at $75 a month or go to Washington, D. C. to be a cub on the Washington Times. The stenograph ic job was pointed out to him to be safe. Tiller threw down the safety first end of the proposition and came to Washington. Neither he nor Wash ington has ever regretted it. The seventy-five a month he has beaten many times a week, as he has prob ably writen niore than anyone who ever came to Washington to start as a cub. He stayed on the Times all these years, and has written the story of every big political event in all that time. He is the favorite of every congressman from Champ Clark down and with it all this Georgia boy has never taken on the slightest bit of conceit. He has received scores of congratulatory letters, voluntarily written by men high up in official life, for the splendid articles which have come from his pen—but with it all he is the same Georgia boy that drifted here as a cub eleven years ago. His New York His work on the committe on pub lic information will be principally with regard to the war department, from which the public has been get ting very little real information these days. The public wants real news from the war department, but it takes a genius to get it. The committe on public information, which includes several cabinet members, wanted to get the information to the public— and after looking over the list of marvels in Washington, decided that the Georgia boy, Theodore Tiller, was miles ahead of the rest in real ability.

War is a last resort— it is reflect ion upon civilization that it still red dens the earth—but so long as nations go to war the citizens can not escape a citizen’s duty. If his conscience for bids him to do what his government demands he must submit without com plaint, to any punishment inflicted, whether the punishment be imprison ment or death. This is the best government earth—the one most responsive to the will of the people, but it is a govern ment of the people —not of one or a few men. If a few are permitted to resist a law—any law—because they do not like it, government becomes a farce. The law must benforced—re sistance is anarchy.
