The latest fad in Atlanta is ladies’
walking canes. Next!
It’s just about the time of year
that we-newspaper people favor the
socialistic theory of “divvy-up.”
In Philadelphia a judge sen
tenced a man thirty days for saying
‘‘Hello, Cutie!” Pretty expensive
greeting, wasn’t it?
Honesty in business is the best
policy; and “one price to all, rich
and poor alike,” is the maxim to
which the most successful business
men adhere.
We wish some of the scientists
who claim they can produce rain
and cold would come to Georgia,
for we certainly do need a few de
grees reduction in the temperature.
Atlanta is to be center of the
Southern banking division, accord
ing to the new bill before Congress.
Atlanta is a great city and the log
ical center for all industries in the
South.
The Balkan States particularly
relish the dove of peace. They
periodically serve the distinguished
bird on toast. America hopes that
the Japs are not fond of Mr. Bry
au’s favorite bird.
Postmaster General Burleson will
replace McKinley’s picture on the
postal card with Thomas Jeffer
son’s, the father of Democracy. A
vigorous fight for retaining the mar
tyr President’s picture has begun.

The Pike County Journal heads
au editorial, "Hell Breaks Loose
m Pike,” and in it is told of eleven
homicides iu the county iu the last
eight months. Must be that au
gust old geutlemnu’s own terriiory.
"Calamity Howler” Willie has
at last praised Wilson for the cur
rency reform. Guess the Bryau-
Wilson split not coming to pass as
per his predictions has so jarred
him that he has regained himself.
The United States has a wiser
and more level-headed President
than ever before. Wilson’s calm
deliberation and reticence are iu
contrast to the talkative Teddy.
Most every day we read of his
commendable, statesman-like atti
tude on questions and business of
the day.
NECESSITY FOR TAX REFORMS.
Georgia is one of the richest States in the union owning
more interest-bearing property than indebtedness and notwith
standing this fact the State’s finances are far from being what
they ought. The total revenue does not defray the expenses and
leaves the State with a deficit that not only embarrasses the State
and her loyal citizens, but lends a false impression as to its wealth
and resources. Georgia is rich enough to be honest, and the Leg
islature ought to respond to the call of the people for a readjust
ment of the finances and taxes of the State.
Georgia showed heroism and courage when she threw off
liquor control and the abominable convict lease system, but her
legislators failed to provide for the large loss of revenue from
these ill gotten gains. The country school teachers ha\e not been
paid a penny for 1913, and many of them have suffered from Geor
gia’s own neglect. Other necessary appropriations have not been
made, just because the Legislature fails to respond with wise and
constructive legislation to one of the worst crises in her history
some tax reform to supply the long-needed increase of revenue
and save the State the ignominy and disgrace of pauperism brought
on by neglect of this all-important question.
There is absolutely no need of Georgia remaining poor and
financially embarrassed with the wealth of property within her
confines, nor as long as there are reforms in taxes which can be
wisely chosen.
Some of our loyal citizens and press, especially I he Atlanta
Constitution, have awakened and are favoring other forms of tax
ation, such as the income and inheritance taxes, to supply the de
ficit caused by abandoning two evils which Georgia had suffered
from long enough. We face this new problem and it must be
acted on at once with wise and constructive legislation.
The Argns cannot specify what particular tax reforms, but
we as a unit do earnestly plead for an early settlement of this
question. Pay the school teachers and leave enough balance for
necessary appropriations. Georgia expects every legislator to do
his duty toward settling right the financial system of the State.
Augusta is ahead of Atlanta on
the question of city government.
The commission form of controll
ing the city’s affairs won out over
whelmingly.
Macon still wants the capital,
but we believe that she will never
get it. The Legislators of Georgia
want to go to a city when they at
tend the Legislature.
There is no doubt but that Jack
son has grown within the past few
years, and has steadily made pro
gress. This is easily noticed, es
pecially by those who have been
absent from the town for several
years.
Rumors are that Little Joe will
ruu against Hoke Smith foi the
Senate. If this is true it is cer
tainly hoped here that loyal Geor
gians will not consider repudiating
the greatest statesman that we have
ever sent to the Federal halls of
Congress.
A bill to abolish all county cou
vict gangs has been introduced.
Wonder what system for criminal
punishment vve will have if this
and other reforms are passed? It’s
a queer idea some people have that
the social offender should not have
severe punishment.
Griffin’s Senator, Col. W. E. H.
Searcy, is seeking to prohibit by
legislation all alcoholic advertising
by newspapers. A pretty good idea.
No doubt there ought to be some
restrictions on the press, as the
quality of reading matter printed
vitally affects American life.
America ought to be as willing
to save the lives of thousands who
die because of lax homicide laws
as were those geuerous, gallant
people of Buffalo to give their skin
to save hundreds of lives iu the
recent horrible holocaust in the
explosion iu the grain elevators.
Who is it interested in the W. &
A. Railroad, the people or the rail
roads? Who would be represented
most in the State Couveutiou likely
to be called this summer? The
Oglethorpe Echo asks these timely
questions and leaves the reader to
conclude that if the people are in
terested they should seud the right
men to it.
According to the Macon News,
the Northern reformers were not
weeping so much over the condi
tion of Sing Sing as they were over
the Southern convict lease system
and the night burial at the Cov
ington Mills that Heart’s New
York papers wept so over.
The issuance of bonds for sew
erage is one of the most needed
steps that Jacksou can make at
present. Proper sanitation and
sewerage diminishes disease and
sickness, and will make the
city more attractive because of
better health conditions. Let’s
vote for it!
The “all-headline” and sensa
tional daily is. one of the worst
forms of yellow journalism in our
country. Some of the Atlanta pa
pers are just as bad in this respect.
If the good people of our State
would stamp their disapproval on
such display of crime and vice, a
great step would be taken in the
proper direction of the young.
Some newspapers are not fit for
the home. A newspaper’s purpose
ought to be to help educate and
elevate popular customs and morals.
Chief Reavers is quoted as say
ing that he will crowd the jails to
overflowing, if necessary, to stop
the epidemic of crime which has
been sweeping over the city of At
lanta. The chief is right in en
forcing the law, but the Atlanta
papers are wrong in advertiing
their city as a city of crime. In
fact, it is not, and the crime is less
than in most other cities of At
lanta’s size. Atlanta is a cosmo
politan city, and crime cannot be
stopped there, although it can be
checked to a minimum by efficient
police service.

And while they are doing it the
citizenry of the State will become
perfectly disgusted.
Many of the larger counties of

To do this it would be necessary to
create new counties. South Geor

Rheumatic Blood
is Whole Story
Wonderful Specific for Sci
atica, Lumbago, and a
Cure for Dreaded
Articular Rheu
matism.
There is a host of pills, powders,
tablets and what-not for rheumatism,
but they all lack the first essential to
being a natural medicine. To begin
with, rheumatism is simply a name
given to designate a variety of pains,
and can only be reached by irri
gating the entire blood supply with a
naturally assimilative antidote. True,
the pains may be eased with nar
ootics or the acids may be neutralized
for the time being with other acids.
But these merely temporize and do
not even lead to a cure. There is but
one standard rheumatism remedy, and
It reflects the best thought of the
day. It is prepared in the great Swift
Laboratory in Atlanta, Ga, and sold in
all drug stores under the name or
S. S. S. at JI.OO a bottle.
Starvation has been advocated by
many as a cure for rheumatism, and
yet S. S. S. accomplishes in fact what
faddists proclaim in theory and with
out the punishment of starvation. Hot
Springs and sweating are often recom
mended, but S. S. S. does all that is
expected of these expensive and weak
ening methods.
It is conceded by the closest stu
dents of the subject that rheumatism
Is caused in most cases by an acid
conditon of the blood and aggravated
by the remedies commonly used for re
lief. In other cases rheumatism is the
result of nerve depression; in still
others it is the effect of some vitiated
blood condition, having been treated
with mercury, iodides, arsenic, and
other poisonous mineral drugs.
The recoveries of all these types of
rheumatism by the use of S. S. S. is
a wonderful tribute to the natural
efficacy of this remarkable medicine,
for it is assimilated just as naturally,
just as specifically, and just as well
ordained as the most acceptable, most
palatable and most readily digested
food. Do not fail to get a bottle of
S. S. S. to-day. You will be astonished
at the results. If your rheumatism is
of such a nature that you would like
to consult a great specialist confiden
tially. write to the Medical Dept.,
The Swift Specific Cos., 127 Swift Bldg.,
