Crime Uncovers Itself
One of the finest laws that permeates this
universe is thut which we find in the nature
of every criminal. He lacks the ability to
conceal himself for long. This would he a
wretched world if crime had the ability of
concealing itself. In every criminal Im
pulse there is imbedded a lack of power to
conceal itself from the public. Every criui-
inal is a foolish person and fools are not
wise enough to hide their deeds. Wisdom is
the companion of justice, righteousness, up
rightness, fair dealing. The Creator could
not afford to give wisdom to the unjust, the
unrighteous, the evil minded. Humanity
could not survive in such a state. When a
man begins to nurture a criminal impulse
in his mind, he lets in with it the spirit of
the simpleton. Crime and simple-mindedness
are interwoven. They cannot lie separated.
If you are looking for wisdom you must go
to strong, just, fair, upright men. They
know how to do things and they know how
to succeed in their undertakings.
The Jasper county affair is a case in point.
These foul crimes are the result of evil im
pulses nurtured in somebody's mind until
evil acts resulted* And interwoven with
with these evil impulses came the inability
to conceal the deed. Everything is being
uncovered and the price is being demanded.
Men are criminals because they are foolish
and ignorant of the laws of the universe.
O
Jasper County
i
One of the most gruesome and harrowing
state of affairs in the annals of Georgia is
being brought to light in Jasper county.
About a dozen negroes have been knocked
in the head and drowned in that county
within the last few months by a planter who
has bi>oii posing as one of that county s best
citizens, if one of his accomplices, a negro, is
to be believed. Surely there are enough God
fearing people in Jasper county, who have
enough of the love of humanity in their
hearts to see that the perpetrators of such
d| stanfljy crimes are promptly punished.
The whole country is watching this case and
Jasper county should show the public that
she thoroughly condemns such inhuman
deeds. A special session of the superior
court is now in order, with swift punishment
meted out to the guilty parties.
O
Atlanta’s Muddle
The more Atlanta's Floyd Woodward case
is stirred the worse does it show tip her de
lect ive and police forces. The impression is
being created in the public mind that these
forces are trying to besmirch Solicitor Ho.v
kin in order to draw attention from them
selves. It doesn’t make any difference wheth
er Boykin lias walked the straight path or
not, that fact does not clear the detective
and police forces of our capital city. It
seems to lie a fact that Woodward and his
gang operated a gambling house right in the
heart of the city, murdering one man, at
least and that the detective and police au
thorities made no effort to stop same until
Solicitor Boykin got busy himself with the
case. It looks now as if Atlanta will clean
house. She needs it.
O
“Our great assurance at home lies in a
virile, intelligent, resolute people, in a land
unravnged by war, at enmity with no peo
ple, envying none, coveting nothing, seeking
no territory, striving for no glories Which
do not become a righteous nation. This re
pabllc cannot, will not fail, if each of us
dot's his part."— President Ilardlng.
O
“We are the possessors of tremendous pow
er, both ns individuals and as states. The
great question of the preservation of our in
stitutions is a moral question. Shull wo use
our power for self-aggrandisement or for
service? It lias been the lack of moral tlhro
which lias been the downfall of the peoples
of the past."—Vice President Cooledge.

The Passing of John
Burroughs
When John Burroughs passed over the
river and laid him down to rest ’lieatb the
tries on the other side, the world lost one
of its noble sons. Not only did he love na
ture but he loved his fellowman. He breath
ed the spirit of goodwill wherever tie went
and his writings will ever prove an uplifting
power to thoSe who read them. Years ago
we read the little poem below entitled:
“Waiting,” and it lias since occupied a place
in our scrap hook.
Serene I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind nor tide nor sea;
I rave no more ’gainst time or fate,
For lo! my own shall come to’me.
I stay my haste, I make delays—
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways
And what is mine shall know my face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years.
My heart shall reap where it lias sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.
The waters know their own and ilraw T
The brook that springs in yonder height;
Ho flows tlie goisl with equal law
Unto tlie soul of pure delight.
Tlie stars come nightly to tlie sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea ;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,.
Can keep my own from me.
Railroads Losing Money
Over two hundred railroads in the United
States showed a deficit in their operations
during the month of January. Sixteen of
these roads are in the South. The increased
rates have not increased the revenues of the
roads us was estimated when the higher
rates were put into effect. The truth of the
matter is that freight and passenger rates
are so high now tiiut the business of the
country cannot pay them and prosper. There
lias been a tremendous falling off in business,
both in passenger and freight service, and
should the roads be allowed to still further
increase their rates it would not get them
out of tlie dilemma in which they are now
placed. The only solution to the problem is
for tlie roads to decrease their operating ex
penses so that they can lower their rates to
such an extent ns that, the public can pay
them and at the same time make a fair profit
on their operations. The wages of all rail
road employees must come down on a pari
ty with the wages received by workers in
other lines of business. The scales are ter
ribly out of balance now and there can bo
no abiding prosperity as long as this unbal
anced state of affairs exist.
O-
A City Beautiful.
There are many beautiful yards in Win
der. We are glad to note this and we hope
tbmt the spirit of beautifying their yards
will grow and spread in our city until it
takes in every home. There is nothing more
commendable than to see ladies out in their
aids working and planning to beautify
their premises. It shows that they are in
■ crested in their homes, and it is the home
loving spirit that enriches and ennobles our
nature. A nation of homes will lie a great
nation, and n city that loves its homes and
spends some of its time in making them beau
tiful is a great city. We believe in civic
pride, and there is nothing that adds more
to the prosperity of a city than for its home
owners to make their homes as attractive
and beautiful as possible.
Editor John W. McWhorter, who recently
purchased the Winder News and the Barrow
County Times and consolidated the excellent
weekly newspapers, is having trouble with
his business manager who seems inclined to
believe that the readers of tlie News prefer
the announcements of the business houses to
Editor McWhorter’s illuminating editorials.
Twelve pages being insufficient to accom
modate the volume of business and the afore
said editorials, the editorial page was left
out while Editor McWhorter was at home
feeding his chickens. The Winder News,
without an editorial page, however, is like
“home-brew" without a kick. —Jack Patter
son, in Atlanta Journal.
