Once upon a time, in a time when fairy tales were true, there lived in the country a family of grasshop pers and a family of ants. Some authorities incline to the belief that the grasshoppers were addicted to thu jazz dunce and the fiddle, hut one is at liberty to doubt this. The grasshoppers were Industrious. They worked in the fields side by side with the ants, they wore good clothes and chewed tobacco. In those days, as now, the first impulse or instinct of mortal or insect was to fill his stomach. If men could eat without working few would work. The grasshoppers worked diligently at the task of gut lier ing herbs and grains, but as fast us they gathered they also consumed, so ttiat the setting sun found them none the richer save a comfortable fullness about the middle. The ants did not neglect the business of eating. They fared well but they had the saving habit, and they did not wear silk shirts while performing tasks that suggested overalls. The grasshoppers called the ants tightwads. They did not use this expression in the presence of the nuts. It is as well to keep on good terms with a tightwad. Perchance one may need to borrow from him before the next pay day arrives. Through the long summer tlie grasshoppers toiled and fed their faces, dressed to impress the neighbors, and petted their appetites; and when the first frost of an enrly winter killed the green things in the field not one of them had a square meal in reserve. When the grasshoppers found the rations short they cast about to find someone on whom to fix the blame. As they stood about the field making talk con cerning the Injustice of the general scheme of things, one of their number who enjoyed making phrases hopped onto a withered flower stem and unburdened his mind: ••We would not be hungry if we had the courage to demand our rights,” he declared. “There is enough wealth in the world for everybody. All that we ask is a fair division. We are dead broke, while the ants have their barns filled to overflowing. Is this right? Is this justice? Is tliis democracy? I tell you, my down-trodden brethren, that we are the victims of a greedy and hateful system and shall all miserably perish unless we establish universal brotherhood and divide this supply of food accumulated by the ants.” I realize that all this seems incredible hut I hasten to assure you that it happened once upon a time when fairy tales were true and grasshoppers knew nothing of saving banks and had no brains worth mentioning. —Exchange. O Deliver us from the mun that has no sense of hu mor. .... O One of the things Uiut enters largely into success in life is a smile. Pretty cheap, too. O There is no doubt that high railroad rates are hold ing hack the resumption of business activities in this -country. We hope every editor in the Ninth Congressional district will be present at Gainesville, on Friday, June 17, at 11 o'clock. Chamber of Commerce. O War prices are still ruling in Atlanta. The barber shops know how to shave your pocket hook to perfec tion, and you can get a light lunch for about 75 cents if you wait on yourself. William J. Bryan has given up his citizenship in Nebraska and lias become a citizen of Florida. It is rumored that he is thinking of running for the United States Senate from that state. O Of all the silly and nonsensical propositions ever daddied by the craziest lunatic that ever butted into the state insane asylum, the one put forward by some simp that Geo. M. Napier was not entitled to an office to which he was duly elected by the people on account of a suit he brought to determine the beginning of the term of this offloe-ot all the idiotic hull and down right asinine, blubbering foolishness, say we, this one takes the rag off the bush and rushes the blue ribbon. If the present attorney general of this state is respon- I Bible for such a contention or even gave it serious ' countenance he should be brought before the Fulton county Ordinary and a competent jury without delay. --Walton Tribune. The Boys Organize Up at Gainesville last Friday. May 20, the press boys of the Ninth district organized what is to be known as the Ninth District Press Association. Ed itor J. W. McWhorter, of the Winder News, was made president, and Editor Jim P. Davidson, of the Cleve land Courier, was made secretary and treasurer. Ed itor John F. Shannon, of the Commerce News, was made vice president. The next meeting place is in Gainesville, June 17, when organization will be per fected. The pre-s hoys of the Ninth district are expected to join this association. It will do them good. The newspaper men/>f this district are a hardworking and hard-worked set of fellows, und. if they don't take a rest occasionally, they will soon—very soon—be dead Here's hoping that we may see Johnny Rudasil, Joe Patterson, Ed Kirby, Morcock and Byrd, John Hol der, and all the rerst of the bunch, at 11 o'clock on the morning of Friday, June 17._ Chamber of Com merce. Gainesville, Georgia. Come on, boys and make the occasion a glad one.—Alpharetta Free Press. O Unemployment in Atlanta. The Journal of Labor, In a very readable editorial, published a week ago says that regardless of what may be said to the contrary, there are too many, al together too many, men and women out of employ ment in Atlunta, and some movement shouold be in augurated to provide employment for those who de sire to earn an honest living. We agree with our Atlanta contemporary as to there being too many people in Atlanta, aud else where, as for that, out of employment. We also agree with it when it says that there is no more pitaful sight on this earth than a jobless man. The Journal of Labor suggests that the various civic bodies of the city come together and consider the question and see if employment cannot be pro vided for the unemployed. We suggest to our Atlanta contemporary that pos sibly one reason why jobs are scarce is that those who would undertake enterprises and thus give peo ple employment, cannot do so on account of the high wage demanded by those who are idle. When wages come down to where employers can pay them and make a reasonable profit on the in vestment, the unemployed will find jobs. There is too great a difference between the raw material aiul the manufactured article. And this great difference must be caused by the wages paid to those who make the manufactured products. Mar kets are glutted because the producer of raw mate rial cannot buy the manufactured articles with the money he receives for his products. High railroad rates add to the cost of the manu factured products, and the railroads attribute their high rates to high wages. We are rather inclined to believe that the along is the real reason for many being out of em ployment. The man who has money has been be rated unmercifully of late years, but when you tie his hands und fix things so that he cannot operate at a profit, his money goeos down in his pockets and lie folds his hands and waits. Do you blame him? We have said before, and we repeat it, that the spirit shown by organized labor during the past few years is going to react own discomfiture. Al ready the leading labor journal of the South is ask ing the civic bodies of the country to help. O — The Commerce Observer says that forty-four hours a week is not enough time for a man to devote to work. Paul Harder has been running a weekly news paper long enough to know what he Is talking about. O- What a fix Germany would be in if the printers who are making her money should strike. O- We have received a pamphlet entitled, “The Negro In Georgia,” written by one, Rev. Caleb A. Ridley, of Atlanta, which we promptly consigned to the waste basket. O It is said that four-fifths of the diamond cutters of the world are out of work. It distresses us to know that this industry is so demoralized. o Up in Dawson and Lumpkin liquor has reached the shamefully low price of $1.40 a gallon.—Alpharetta Free Press. If Bro. Rucker will make the motion, we ll second it, thut the next meeting of the Ninth District Press Association meet in Dahlonega. O The editor of the Savannah Hawkeye has been found guilty of sending unmailable matter through the mails. We have never believed that it is the pro vince of any paper to hold up to the public eye the bad and disreputable things that afflict the human race. The scandal-mongers delight to read such pa pers, but in the end such a periodical is bound to fail. O Senator Watson has introduced a bill in the United States Senate to make federal bonds legal tender. If Senator Watson is trying to help the common people he is too late. Most of these bonds have passed out of the hands of those whom Mr. Watson would help. Should bonds reach a par value of 100 through Mr Watsou’s efforts, he would be playing into the hands of the very crowd he has fought all his life.
