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. —The Athens Daily Herald. 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.
