The action of the City Fathers in ordering an election for sewer bonds is a move in the right direc tion, and we congratulate them upon this forward step. If you don't believe it, come and ascertain for yourself. No place in the universe can offer greater inducements to the homeseeker, the capitalist, the manufacturer, the business and professional man than Jackson. We invite inspec tion. President Wilson and the Lobbyists. Some otherwise well-meaning citizens are inclined to "pooh pooh” President Wilson’s sensa tional utterances in regard to "in sidious lobbying” at Washington, but the revelations of the last ten or fifteen days, and particularly last week, have about established the truth and sincerity of the Pres ident’s charges. It took a great deal of courage for the chief ex ecutive to come out openly with an assertion which, along certain lines,, must be regarded as a reflection on the "dignity” of the Senate. To charge in substance that the floor of the Senate was a profitable field fr lobbyists was indeed walking on very thin ice, but the Senators themselves, or at least a certain portion of them, saved the situa tion by entering warmly into the investigation. It has been said that the lobby investigation has delayed the passage of the tariff bill, but if there has been any de lay, the gain will be greater in the end. "The real objection to the lob by investigation,” says Harper’s Weekly, "remaius precisely what it was; it may cause unnecessary and unessential delay. On the other hand, few of us are in a po sition to say positively that the de lay is unnecessary or unessential On the contrary, the final show down on expected amendments on the passage of the tariff bill may prove that the President was right and that his move was the only The Crop Outlook in Butts While the cotton crop in Butts county is at this time distressingly feeble in its appearance, the corn crop is unusually vigorous, and throughout the county gives prom ise of being the best in years. Small grain has been good, and the peas sown recently are coming up well. Experienced farmers say there is no reason to be discour aged over the cotton crop, “it will certainly make with its pres ent start," say they, “but will be somewhat late. ’ ’ Those, who are inclined to take an optimistic view of the cotton situation point to the experience of 1911, when at this time of the year there was less reason to expect a crop than there is now. Out of the poorest chance in years in 1911, the greatest yield in the country’s history came. Parcel Post Progress. A growth of 10,000,000 parcels a month affords evidence of the increasing popularity of the parcel post. The C. O. I). privilege, effective July 1, will further stimu late the service. Abolition of the parcel post stamps and privi lege of depositing parcels wherever mail matter may be deposited are lurther concessions that are bound to come. The enlargement of postal savings banks into postal checking banks is another entirely practical reform which would benefit the patrons of the parcel post and all classes of the people. The adop tion of checking in connection with postal banks would be a great blessing aside from the facilities it would give for adjusting parcel post accounts. It would promote economy by taking cash from the pockets of the people, where it is too easily expended. The jxostoffice in the village is the one place where everybody is known and where identification is not needed. By all means let the postal sav ings banks and the parcel post serve the people in every possible way. That is what they are for. The Wigwam Hotel serves Cornfield Hants. way to hold in line enough votes to reject dangerous amendments and to get the bill into conference substantially unaltered and in shape to fulfill Democratic pledges and test the low-tariff theory. Senator Townsend, of Michigan, Republican, has given interesting support to this view of the matter. He has declared that the President, by his statement in reference to the lobby, has held in line Democrats who might otherwise have voted against certain main provisions of the bill, if not against the measure as a who’e. In other words, he has indicated his belief that the President's action may have saved the bill from mutilation or defeat.” So that it would seem that the end justified the means when the President invited the fire of his most bitter opponents. He himself was called a lobbyist, but if Presi dent Wilson’s warfare against questionable interests can be called lobbying, it is an example to be emulated. A Good Resolution. The Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Lexing ton, Ky., diocese several weeks ago adopted a resolution which, if lived up to by the clergymen of all denominations, and no other per sons were permitted to perform the marriage ceremony, would benefit mankind and save the human race untold suffering. The resolution is to the effect that the clergy of that diocese will be justified, before performing the marriage rite, to require of the man desiring to be married a cer tificate from a reputable physician that he has had no communicable disease of immoral origin. The result of such a proposition, if generally adopted, would be to make men more correct in their habits aud prevent the contami nated from transmitting diseases to his unfortunate offspring to suffer through life with those ailments which are inherited from immoral fathers. Immoral and licentious men, who have ruined themselves by indul gence, should not be permitted to * % further contaminate the human race. We pay great attention to the breeding of horses and other favored animals, but little if any to the human race. It ought not to be so, and when the change comes as suggested by the Episco pal Council, a more vivid and per fect race of men and women will inhabit the earth. Men made in the image of their Maker should not be consumptives, paralytics, deformed or otherwise diseased, and they would not be so if they and their parents led proper lives. TOWALIGA TOPICS.
