LODGING HOUSES IN DEMAND
While we were never proud of our hotel accom
odations, we should now be actually ashamed of
the situation.
Since the old Rock excuse for a hotel closed its
doors for repairs, travelers have had to scour the
residence sections of the city to find a place to stop
for the night..
Houses and boarding places cannot be found to
meet the demand. We heard a young man remark
the other night that he was going to leave town,
and that he was not, going to stop until he found
a town that had room enough to take on a few more
citizens.
Many peple here would like to run boarding and
rooming houses, but no suit aide* places can be
found.
RLXMEK WILSON FOR LABOR UNREST
Senator Poindexter, republican of Washington, in
the senate Monday, charged the president with be-
responsible for labor unrest, and said that in
many ways lie violated t.he Constitution of the
United States in negotiation the Peace Treaty with
Germany. In winding up along, prepared arraing
nient of the President, tin* Washington Senator said:,
“He lias used the influence of federal chief execu
tive to trespass upon the independent jurisdiction
of California and 1 tah by a tempting to interfere
with the course of justice in these states.
“He has, as president, attempted to control the
decision of bitter foreign controversies in which
the United States has but, a remote concern. He lias
officially undertaken the settlement of local terri
torial and racial quarrels as in the case of Finnic.
Thrace and Shantung, and in so doing has unneces
sarily antagonized and affronted our allies in the
wa r.
“Ity general phrase of vague meaning, such as
‘the democratization of industry’ without definition
or application, he has a roused aspirations through-
out the world which he is incapable of satisfying,
t,ending to set the world in chaos.
“Quoting from his propaganda, the communists
demand, under threat of revolution, that the rail
roads be given, at public expense, into the posses
sion and management of the operatives and em
ployees.
“It is as though the president has received the
world as a toy and proceeded to take it apart in
order to reconstruct, it on anew plan. Now with
its pieces scattered around him, he finds that he
has no new way, and that he cannot put it to
gether again in tiic old way. He has declared the
end of the old order, and substitutes for it the new
disorder.”
In this issue will be found a communication from
Chief Hill disclaiming for himself and council any
responsibility for warning returned soldiers “to go
to work or get out.” We are glad that the chief and
council are blameless. We never expected council
to nuH*t in “solemn form, summons the chief to con
fcnence and give orders that So and So must “move
on.” Anyway, Ganum Fuller, received such a mes
sage from a policeman, and it is said that Ganum
has enough money to cash all the effects of said
policeman.

After a lapse of a few weeks, and in view of the
discussions in the United States senate, we rise to
enquire if ex-Preident Paul Harbor of the Georgia
Press is still of the opinion that the League of
Nations “is not a political question?" It is already
the biggest political question facing America and
it is going to loom larger and larger as tile days
roll on.
NOT CONFINED TO AGRICULTURE
An agricultural exchange says that the farmer
who is attending to his work finds plenty to do at
this season of the year. The same might well be
said of every man who attends to his own business,
and at any time of the year.—Crawfordville Advo

WHY BOYS LEAVE HOME
Why did you leave the farm my lad? .
Why did you bolt and leave your dad?
Why did you beat it off to town?
And turn your p<*>r old father down?
Thinkers of platform, pulpit and press
Are wallowing in deep distress,
They seek to know the hidden cause
Why farmer boys desert their “paws.”
“Well, stranger, since you’ve been so frank,
I'll roll aside the hazy bank,
I left my dad, his farm, his plow
Because my calf became his cow.
• I left my dad, ’twas wrong, of course,
Because my colt l>ecaine his horse.
. I left my dad to sow and reap,
Because my lamb became his sheep.
1 dropped my hoe and struck the fork,
Because my pig became ids pork.
The garden truck that I made grow
Was his to sell and mine to hoe.
It’s not the smoke in the atmosphere.
Nor the taste for life that brought me here.
Please tell the platform, pulpit, press
No fear of the toil nor love of the dress
Is driving off the Farmer Lads,
It’s just the method of their Dads.”

It is our notion that law enforcement will do as
touch as anything else toward reducing the high
cost of living. Fill the jails and penitentiaries with
'profiteers and you will see prices strike the tobog
gan slide.
PLAYING THE HYPOCRITE
The devil usually pays the hypocrite back in his
own coin. A rare instance of this great truth is
found in the way the Chicago Tribune and others
of that ilk are having to wallow in their own slime
these days.—Valdosta Times.

CORRECT—GO AHEAD.
Of course we may be wrong, but our observation
is that the audience isn't so much interested in the
class of performance the interpretive dancer puts
on ns it is in the amount of dry goods and notions
she leaves off—Macon Telegraph.

HARD ON THE DAILIES
Ten years ago every daily newspaper in Georgia
was carrying pages of liquor advertising. Today
every daily in the state is carrying coca cola ad
vertising. Daily newspapers, as a rule, stand for
nothing that is worth while. The moral forces of
the state must overcome the influence of the daily
press in going forward to higher and better things.
We wish it might be otherwise, for, goodness knows,
we need the help of the press, and especially tin*
daily press.—Alpharetta Free Press.

GROWING SOME
According to a dispatch to the Atlanta Journal
the city clerk of Decatur last Monday issued .S!7
permits for gasoline for “Winder” citizens. Nothing
like being a hustling town and getting on the map.
We know Winder folks are great travelers, but we
are sorry we are unable to tell our readers just,
who were the 897 proud Winder citizens visiting
Decatur last Monday. However, it pays to adver
tise, and you know we are “Building a City Here.”

Just at the end of the session the Georgia house
and senate are in emphatic disagreement over the
highway bills, salary-raising bill and appropriation
bills, and unless one or the other branches of the
legislature reaches from its position before the clock
turns them loose this morning, an extra session is
a possibility. i.

When Senator Lodge tinihed his address Tuesday
in the United States senate in opposition to the
league covenant, the throngs in the galleries arose
as one mail and cheered for five minutes. In a pre
pared address he made a stirring, appeal for Amer
icanism as opposed to internationalism. Dispatches
from Washington tell us "that nothing like it has
ever before been seen in the senate. Among the
cheering throng was a group of marines who fought
at Chauteau Thierry and who had been reviewed
by President Wilson early in the day, waved their
steel helmets and shouted their approval of Senator
Lodge's attack on the league covenant. When Sen
ator Williams, rose to reply he was met with
hisses.
In writing of the judges now holding seats in the
house of representatives. John T. Boiffeuillet, in The
Macon News, says of our representative:
“Another former city court judge who is serving
in the legislature with distinction is Representative
George Alexander Johns, of Barrow county. He
was an honor to the bench of Jefferson, Jackson
county, and was the faithful and efficient attorney
for his city. Col. Johns had an active and influential
part in the creation of the county which he now so
ably represents, lie has had considerable military
experience, having been captain of the Winder
Guards for seven years, and a member of the military
stuff of Governor Brown and Governor Slaton, lie
is a graduate of Mercer University and belonged to
the S. A. E. fraternity. lie is also an Odd Fellow,
Mason, Shriner and Knight of Pythias.”
O
Rumors are persistent that Ex-Senator Thomas
W. Hardwick will again enter politics next your.
Around the capitol it is believed by many that he
will be a candidate for governor, although this te
discounted generally. One of the political writers'
of an Atlanta paper recently made the prediction
that he would oppose Senator Smith for the Senate
next time, if the Senator voted for the peace treaty
as it came back from Paris. Friends of Mr. Hard
wick here declare that he is “through with politics"
although others are equally emphatic in the declar
ation that a man identified with politics or more
thau a decade can never quit.
THE WINDER NEWS, WINDER, GA.THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1919.
It is figured that, more unmarried people commit
suicide than married people. Sure. Married people
lose their nerve.
O
Senator Harris is in Georgia, and the papers quote
the senator as predicting a fall in prices. Of course,
they are already failing.
O
TOO BIG A PRICE TO PAY
In his address to Congress last week President
Wilson said :
“Every true heart in the world and every enlight
ened judgment demanded that, at whatever cost of
independent action, every Government that took
thought for its people or for justict or for ordered
freedom should lend itself to anew purpose and ut
terly destroy the old order of international polities.”
It is entirely possible to pay too big a price if
that price means the loss of the sovereignty and the
right of independent action by the American Govern
ment. Tills nation is not called upon to give up its
independence and its sovereignty, for it was formed
for the distinct purpose of creating an independent
government, which should not sacrifice its right of
independence or sovereignty for the political turmoils
of Europe.
In stating “at whatever cost of independent ac
tion” this Government and every other Government
should join in the League of Nations, we think Pres
ident Wilson lias given full proof of his position
which the Manufacturers Record has taken from
the beginning, that in entering the League of Na
tions we should have to sacrifice our independence
and sovereinty. Mr. Wilson believes that this is de
manded of us. We do not.—Manufacturers Record.
