JACKSON, GA., FEB. 14, 1913.
The man who hasn’t accommo
dation enough to boost a good
thing, seldom has an audience
when he boosts himself.
It is not a reflection upon free
dom to say that the “Land of the
Free” is the most lawless, It is a
reflection upon the self-control of
American citizens.
The Athens Herald Commends
Judge Daniel’s Stand.
Judge Robert T. Daniel, in de
livering his charge to the Monroe
county Grand Jury the other day,
asserted that the people of this
country have little regard for law
or respect for authority, and gave
as his reason for this statement that
our children are not properly train
ed in the homes and schools. The
observation of years, in many cities,
compels us to agree with Judge
Daniel. It is lamentably apparent
that nowadays parents leave their
children too much in the care of
irresponsible and disinterested per
sons. Particularly are boys when
at a dangerous point in their devel
opment permitted to run the streets.
Mothers, occupied with the over
seeing of household duties, or act
ually engaged in the work them
selves, are too prone to free them
selves of the responsibility of con
stant watchfulness by allowing their
children to seek companionship in
the streets. Outdoor exercise and
fresh air are much to be desired,
but the morals of the child are just
as important.
In this .and of liberty too much
freed.. ;n of the wrong sort is in evi
dence. If the child is allowed a
wide latitude in this respect it is
but natural when maturity a. rives
he will have imbedded in his mind
these ideas of individual liberty
which is essentially the seed for
disrespect for law and authority.
Time was when we looked with
deep respect upon our leading pub
lic men, but we seem nowadays to
.have drifted far away from this sort
of thiug. Bend the young shoot
as far as it should grow and the
matured article will usually be
found of high staudard.
A good deal of our good priu
cip' is are inborn, but training is a
necessary adjunct. The Herald
feels constrained to congratulate
Judge Daniel upon calling atten
tion to this most important matter.

Memorable St. Valentine Days
Arizona may well be known as
“the Valentine State," for she was
admitted to the Union on the 14th
of February last >ear. President
Taft sigued the proclamation iu the
A MESSAGE TO MOT,HERS.
Judge Daniel,' whose recent charge to the Monroe county Grand
Jury is exciting most favorable comment all over the State, will deliver
a similar charge to the Grand Jury of this county on next Monday.
This charge is a wonderful exhortation to the people to uphold law
and order, and should be impressed upon the mind of every future
citizen of the country, especially as it was shown that America is be
hind every country in the world, civilized and uncivilized, in the en
forcement of the law.
Every mother and father in the county should hear this charge
next Monday, as it is not only a charge to the Grand Jury, but a
charge to the citizens of this country—a challenge to their conscience.
It is a revelation of the divine responsibility for upright conduct of the
future citizens of this country which is put in the hands of each Amer
ican parent as a sacred trust. Our children must not be outlaws. If
they are, we, the parents, are responsible. Judge Daniel’s charge will
help any one in the shouldering of this responsibility.
The law is ioly, and if ye break so much as one jot or one tittle
thereof, ye break the whole. It is the public sentiment behind this
law which is responsible for its maintenance or its downfall, and you
and your children are responsible for the public sentiment. Judge
Daniel’s charge will help you do your duty. *
BOOSTING.
The fact that LaGrange, Decatur, Dublin and many other small
towns of Georgia are heard of more than their size would’seem to in
dicate is due to their Chamber of Commerce, or Board of Trade. We
need some such organization for our town, systematized boosting”
for the Power City of the State. , ,
For a growing town there is nothing which pays so much as sys
tematized advertising. The papers cannot do it by themselves, nor
can each individual merchant have the time to devote to it. But if
each one adds his mite to a systemized campaign such as is carried on
by a Chamber of Commerce, then wonderful results are obtained.
Modern business system, which saves all waste effort, has worked out
the Chamber of Commerce as the cheapest and the best way in which
to stimulate the growth of a town, and the towns, that is the up-to
date towns all over the country, are taking advantage of it.
A town does not, like the little girl, “jes’ grow up.” It is a day
of sharp competition between towns, and each one has to use mddern
business methods to gain a healthy civic life. We do not wish to be
left behind, with our wonderful resources, and we must get the share
of the general prosperity which is rolling Southward.
