Don’t Hafta.
Is LAW VIOLATION a passing fad? Lot us hope.
Extremely dangerous in the passing.
Neither the war no prohibition, nor radical legisla
tion, nor lax morals, nor automobiles are chargeable
with responsibility for the unprecedented rebellion
of human nature against all restraint.
To illustrate. A bunch of seven year old boys,
■children of tlrst school grade, rushing to the street at
Hie dose of the day's session, voiced what is in the
public mind, in the very atmosphere —I hope not In
the soil. One boy yelled, “1 don’t hafta,” and the
echo came from the others of Die same age, “I don’t
luifta," with the final exclamation from one of them
evidently expressing the mind of them all, ' I don t
hafta do anything—but die.
The infant, the school kid, the flapper and her
brother the Hopper, and the rest of us feel it in the
blood even if we do not say “I don’t hafta do anything
but die.”
The moonshiner retreating at the approach of the
revenuer or sheriff moves on because he doesn't ‘hafta’
stop.
The rum runner, hastily deserting his car, being
chased by the officer, doesn't “hafta” wait for the of
ficer.
The hgihwayman slays and rolls his victim because
he feels that, he doesn’t “hafta" earn a living in an
honest way, prefers to take it from his brother more
industrious and more frugal.
The lounge lizzard and the parlor bolshevik doesn't
“hafta” engage In useful employment, prefers to be
a dead-beat, and finally a thug.
The sorry lawyer defending these outlaws doesn’t
“liafta” conform to any honorable rules of practice
but secure* release of his criminal client by decep
tion, sharp practice, iierjury procured and dishonesty.
The whole system has degenerated and before we
see the light of a better day it must be regenerated.
, Every honest man who earns his living through
honest labor and effort must learn that every one of
these drones, vagabonds and thugs add to Ills bur
den. Every good citizen who respects the law and
supports the courts must understand that every out
law adds to the menace, the insecurity of his home,
his loved ones, his property and his life.
Until then we may not reasonably expect a return
or orderly conditions.
The press and pulpit must not let up on the job.
Organised Christian citizenship shall finally stand
ss our best protection against organized outlawry
and crime. JESSE E. MERCER.
Secretary, Georgia League for Law Enforcement
Through Constituted Authorities.

The Living Wage.
We hear much about the “Living Wage” in the dis
cussions between labor and capital. No one can state
definitely what a living wage is, but of one thing we
are sure, that before a living wage cam be paid it
must be earned. And this is one fact that seems to
lx* lost sight of in the disputes. Some people seem
to think that there is plenty of money to pay the
workers any amount of wage that they can wrest from
their employers. The money is in the treasury of
the concern for which they work, so they think, and
that it is meanness on the part of their employers
not to give them whatever they ask for.
Before men can he induced to put. their money into
enterprises they must he assured of a fair income
from their investment. Just now there is no assur
ance of this income and hence money is going into
other channels rather than into enterprises that will
give work to laborers. Business conditions will im
prove wonderfully in the world when laborers see
to it that they earn every dollar that is paid them
and also enough to keep the business im good shape
and return a fair dividend to the investors.
It is possible to kill the hen Hint lays the golden
egg.

Judge Russell’s Candidacy
As you rtad down the long list of candidates for the
various state house offices you will find the honored
mid distinguished name of Hon. Richard It. Russell
for the office of chief justice of the Supreme Court.
His opponent is Win. H. Fi-h who has had several
articles of paid uds and free write-ups in the Head
light lately but no indorsement from the paper other
than the deserving compliments paid Mr. Fish and
which now stand.
We rather look with considerable more favor upon
the candidacy of our life-long friend, Judge Russell,
for this place. Judge Russell stands without a peer
on (he long list of prominent and able jurists of this
state. He lias a record that stands unchallenged for
bare honesty, upright living and square dealing and
his public career is therefore unblemished. He is well
and most favorably known all over Georgia and is
deeply regarded as a most formidable adversary in
any race in Georgia.
Judge Russell’s decisions while he was on the
Court of Appeals are a matter of record in the reports
of tat court and speak for themselves in wisdom, merit
and purity of diction, many of them having been
approvingly quoted by the courts of last resort of oth
er states as well as by the U. S. Supreme Court, it is
claimed.
Judge Russell’s friends are presenting these facts
as sufficient evidence for his electoin to the place he
is now seeking and giving the voters of the state ev
ery reason to believe in his fitness for it.—Wrights
ville Headlight.

The Judiciary of Georgia
There is a growing spirit in Georgia that would
change the manner of electing our judiciary so as to
get the judges out of politics. While many are in
favor of a change we have not yet seen any sugges
tion that seems to meet the approval of the general
public. We agree with the Albany Herald when it
says:
‘The judiciary ought to be out of politics. A judge
should not have to go out into the field of practical
politics, hob-nob with ward-heelers and local bosses,
put himself under obligations to people who may not
be above turning or attempting to turn such obliga
tions to selfish advantage, and scrap for his office.”
The Savannah News, in discussing the question
says.
“It may not have been an “out of the frying pan
into the fire” case exactly in Georgia, but matters were
not menKled. Georgia has as good a set of men in the
places of the judiciary, ircuit and appellate and su
preme courts, as any state, it may be safely) and con
servatively assumed. But it is all wrong for the man
who is to be judge to be forced to go down into poli
tics to get his position."
We are Inclined to think that a rotation of the
superior court judges would be a great improvement
over tlie present plan.

We passed an automobile in the road the other day

There are a lot of people in the world who are nat
ural grouches. They want winter to come in sum
mer and summer to come in winter. If they are poor
they want money. If they have money it is a sight
of trouble. And so it goes.
