that neither of them were desirable
He is coming anyway, house or no

STRIKING POINTS IN
PRESIDENT WILSON S MESSAGE.
The department of war contem
plates an increase of the standing
force of the regular army from its
present strength of 5,023 officers and
102,985 enlisted men to 7,136 officers
and 134,707 enlisted men, and supple
menting the army by a force of 400,-
000 disciplined citizens.
It will be to the avantage of the
country for the congress to adopt a
comprehensive plan for putting the
navy upon a final footing of strength
and efficiency.
The gravest threats against our na
tional peace and safety have been ut
tered within our own borders.
It is necessary for many weighty
reasons of national efficiency and
development that we should have a
great merchant marine.
It seems to me a clear dictate of
prudent statesmanship, and frank fi
nance that in what we are now to
undertake we should pay as we go.
We should be following an almost
universal example of modern govern
ment if we were to draw the greater
part or even the whole of the rev
enues we need from the income taxes
We have teen put to the test in
the case of Mexico and we have
stood the test. Whether we have| ben
efited Mexico by the counse we have
pursued remains to be seen. Our con
cern for the independence and pros
perity of the states of Central and
South America is not altered.
Christian College to Give A Play.
On Monday evening, December 13,
the members of the Athletic Associ
ation of Christian College together
with other members of the college,
under the direction of the Expres
sion and Music departments, will giv
a helpful and very interesting pro
gram to the public.
There are two reasons for giving
this program at the time: first be
cause those who were present when
the program was given by the De
partment of Expression some weeks
ago, have repeatedly asked for an
other entertainment of similar na
ture; and second, because the treas
ury of the Athletic Association is
in need of money with which to buy
suits for the basket ball team.
Will Preach at Pentecost.
We have been requestd to an
nounce that Rev. John F. Yarbrough,
pastor of the Methodist church of

MOTOR WAY YEAR BOOK
SOON TO BE ISSUED.
Atlanta, Dec. B.—The cities and
smaller communities of Georgia will
soon be linked together in close
bands of communication through the
Georgia State Highways, the logging
of which will be cowered completely
in the Motor-Way Year Book for
1916, which will be issued January, 1,
by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce
With this complete route book as a
guide thousands of tourists will/ trav
el the roads of Georgia, stopping in
the cities and towns and leaving a
golden trail of dollars behind them.
Nearly all of the routes in Geor
gia proposed as automobile highways
are covered by logging and descript
ive matter of the towns thereon
which has been furnished by the
county authorities of the various
routes. The matter is being made
ready for the printer, and it is ex
pected that, the forms will be closed
within a week, after which it will
be impossible for any new routes to
be included, or any information given
concerning routes or the communi
ties interested.
Some few of the communities in

logging, or for information, and un

Information within the next few days

mation to appear in the Motor-Way
Year-Book for 1916, which, though
there may be one or two minor omis
sions, will be the mest complete and
accurate guide to the auto tourist ev
er gotten out covering Georgia.
WE APOLOGIZE.
Last week we published an article
about the capture of wild-cat distil
lery by revenue officers, and we
placed the location of the seizure
several miles too close to Statham.
In fact, the capture was made just
about two mills from the city limits
of Winder.
All of this happened because we
trusted the truthfulness of reporters
for The Athens Banner and Atlanta
Constitution. Our faith is shattered
in these papers, and in future news
items accredited to Statham territory
will be carefully ferreted out before
publication. We apologize to the
good people of Statham, for "manu
facturing’’ John Barleycorn too dose
to them, but blamed if Winder won’t
have to stand for it.
BEYOND THE LIMIT.
We commend the following poem
from the pen of Grantland Rice to
those evil-hearted men anxl women
who infest the best of cities. r lhey
never see any good) in anything. If
you succeed, you are a thief and a
robber. If you launch and finance
a business proposition of your own,
you will sell out or play favorites. In
fact, there is nothing good under the
sun. Hear this knocker’s wail at
the gates of hell:
The Knocker traveled to the gates
of hell
And hammered hard that he might
enter in;
“Who comes,” said Satan. “Speak uj
—quickly tell
The cause of all this wild, unearthly
din.”
' I > 1
“Tip there on earth they had no use
for me,” (
The Knocker said, “and heaven scorn
ed me, too —
And so, friend Sa/tan, I have come to
thee, | ’
So let me in—my tongue has work If
do.”
"What is a Knocker,” Satan bent to
hear —
“Ih every friend I trie-* to pick
some flaw*—”
“Go,” shrieked the devil, “beat it out
from here —
There are some limits even hell must
draw.” I

IF IT IS GOOD FOR ATLANTA
IT WILL BE GOOD FOR WINDER
A Lesson In Patronage to Home
Industries Cited In
This.
We note the president of the At
lanta Typographical Union and the
daily, papers of that boosting old burg
are urging Business Atlanta to pat
ronize Atlanta printeries, pointing
out the amount of good to be done
by "keeping the money at home.”
That is a good policy for Atlanta, and
it would be a good policy for Winder
business men to remember the home
printer when they need printing of
any kind. But speaking of Atlan
ta printeries:
We have never been able to under
stand why they charge their local
customers such high prices and get
away with it and then send out side
line drummers to demoralize prices
in small towns. Like the United.
States government printshop, they
will work for about cost in order to
take the work away from tile coun
try printshop. But what Atlanta
does is all right, even to the recall
ing of Jim Woodward, provided they
can get away with it.
