OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY.
i s et sl
The sénate fight stopped the defeat
of theé suffrage amendment. Senator
Elders stuck them out for two days.
The general assembly had a request
from national democratic headquar
ters not to permit opposition to wo
man suffrage to imperil the whole
'existence of the party. |
People who have an interest in the
success or failure of the covenant ul‘%
the league of nations should read |
what President Wilson said to the|
senate Thursday in presenting the‘
peace treaty. If for nothing else,‘
patriotism might be strengthened.
The secret ballot as a general thing
is an agency for independent vot
ing unlike anything else. The Neill
bill for a seqret ballot in Georgia
promaries was lost in the house
Thursday. The principle is right. We
do not know about the bill which
was under discussion,
One of the most regrettable things
in the stock rasing history of south
Georgia is the suspenion of the tick
eradication in Lowndes county on the
very eve of the Ilifting of the
quarantine, A long period of self
denial and effort goes to naught by
the vote of the county commissioners
and a decision to abandon all tick
work. J
It looks more and more like we
are going to be permitted to vote on
that capitol removal question. At
lanta appears to be much afraid to
submit the question. The recent an
tics of the people of that berg who
are in charge of the fight before the
legislature have made no more
friends for Atlanta than Atlanta wiil
‘need when the issue is placed before
the people.
A day of disappointment *is coming
to the farmer who has taught himself
to believe that the weevil is not go
ing to give him any more trouble this
season. Pessimism is poor encourage
ment, but it is time the erroneous
impression is lifted. The weevil will
change the impression in the month
of August, but it will be too late
then. Cotton is late this season and
the man who thinks the weevil is for
getting his job is all wrong. Better
sit up with them, watch them and
pick them with all courage and
swiftness.
STILL ON THE JOB J
The report that Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson had cabled his re
signation to President Whlson was |
published under a Washington !
date line by a number of papers ‘\
on Tuesday, only to bring a flat
denial from Mr. Burleson on
Wiednesday. We had our doubts
about the story when we first
saw it, and for two reasons—
Burleson is not a resigner, and
the Associated Press didn’t handle
the story.——Albany Herald.
And so the impression grows. Bur
leson will yet out live those who
tried with all their might to distroy
him. Here’s hoping that he wins!
HALT THE BREAD ROBBERS
There is a war going on that is yet
to be stopped. No man would dare
offer a prediction as to results, and
vet every day's developments are
enough to make the sober minded peri
son fear the outcome. If there is one‘
little corner of the world in which
men work at reasonable salary,—if
‘there is one where provisions and
food necessities are not sold at al
most prohibitive prices, that little
corner is mighty obscure.
And as the days go by these two
elements, those who labor, and those
who sell food supplies, clash again
and again. Tomorrow morning’s sun
brings us new prices for our food
that are higher,—ever higher. The
day never passes that the worker fulls’
to meet it with a fresh demand for
wages,—large wages. And on goes the
strife, the strain ever increasing. This
thing bring us rapidly to a day of ac
counting. ‘
The interests that control our prlcesl
of food are wrecking every hope of
normal conditions. The prices soar
ever upward while the paying, faith
ful paying public meets the bills and
wonders where it will end. The labor
ing man has but the one way to meet
it,—demand a higher wage through
organized labor, and he proceeds to
demand with unrenting, consciénce
less, remorseless soul, evéry pe'lmyj
of a wage with which he. can meet the
price of his food supply. i
But outside of this fight millions
of people wait for their food prices
to come back to normal. Outside of
the ranks where this struggle is be
ing waged millions of people lahor
rwho a 0 not get this increase in pay
i service. |
{ From one end of the earth to the
'other people still wonder what will
come next. Extremes over double in
’the night and tomorrow's living costs
‘are gone far beyond the reach of the
‘poor head of the large family. He has
no recourse, but to curse conditions
that brought him to this end of all
humap reason.
- There is a war raging around the
)wm'ld for a reasonable cost of food
stuffs. And while that rages still food
iprices go up. That program will spell}
}revolutlon if it keeps going. A war-i
torn world will bleed again, for the
struggle of the hungry is more
frightful.
Italy - struck half the cost of food
stuffs from the profiteers’ hands only
this week to stop the hungry from
taking what they had to have. At one
stroke the cost of groceries was cut
one-third. This relief had to come
only after the food supplies were
taken from hundreds of hoarding
profiteers by the mobs.
The American wheat grower is re
ported now to be clamoring to get our
from the government guarantee of
$2.26 per bushel for his crop on the
claim that he can get much more if
he is permitted to sell in the open
market., That means bread robbers are
toying with the food needs of the
millions. Where is the checking
force? Shall we find a way to avoid
this contemplated hold wup,—not a
farmer's holdup, but that boldly
planned by the giants of finance who
openly lay their plans to make food
cost more and more? -
This is war,—a most terrible war.
Italy openly bolted and took the law
in the hands of mobs till the govern
ment promised relief. Some day re
volt will check the strides of food
prices in other corners of the world.
| WHAT SAVING CAN DO l
S The men who practics thrift
' "thruugh the scientific lnnnagement%
of his time, money, and affairs, is
a valuable asset to his community
| and the country.
| This point was emphasized by John
Poole, president of the International
Association of Rotary Clubs, at the
annual convention of Rotary Clubs
held recently ip Salt Lake City. In
his address to the assembled Rotar
ians, Mr. Poole heartly endorsed the
National Thrift Campaign which is
ilwing conducted by the ‘Savings
Division of the Treasury Department,
in conneciion with the sole of War
lgza\-ixxgs and Thrift Stamps.
“We must think of thrift as being
close or stingy.” said Mr. Poole. “It
means nothing of the kind. It means
the scientific management of one's
Itime, money and affairs, which im
' prove the quality of the individual be
cause they develope system, order
[an'd give force, energy and industry
as well, The virtue of saving lies in
the fact that thrifty men think, plan
and look forward. They are progres
sive and become a valuable esset to
the country. ' |
“Tell your boys a few plain tales
about how money works. Tell your
son that a dollar deposited every
month in a saving bank at an ordi
nary rate of interest will grow so
large through the process of com
pounding interest that at the end of
twenty-one years he could draw out
all the money he saved and put it into
the bank and without making any
further deposit he could continue toj
draw out a dollar a month as long as
he lives. 1
“As another illustration of the pow
er of money tell him that $lOO de
posited at six per cent compound in
interest would in 200 yeéars amount
to more than $100,000,000. He won’t
have any ambition to create a fund
of this sort, but it will show him
what money can do and how it can
accumulate.
“When a person spends money for
something he really dosn’t need the
money is gone forever, but when one
invests money he still retains all that
he has saved, and furthermore, an
earning power is added, so that he
then has two forces at work from both
of which an income is, derived. One
is man-power, his own personal ef
fort—the other is money-power, the
return from invested savings.”
AN EXCELLENT ANSWER TO.,
| PACIFISTS.
‘ New York Times: Possibly there
is somebody, somewhere in the
‘country—-of the world—who could
have written a better letter than did !
Secretary Baker in response to thel
plea that he use his influence with |
the President to secure the release
of the conscientious objectors now
serving prison sentenqes. The pos
sibility, however, is one too small
to delay recognition of the fact that
the Secretary’s letter is admirable
alike in form and substance—a fine
specimen of sound doctrine express
ed in simple and vigorous English,‘
with nothing left unsaid that needed
saying and nothing said that as well 1
or better could have been omitted.
The petitioners made the]
usual pacifist argument—the on]y‘
argument they could make. The pri-?
soners were idealists who had follow
ed the distates of conscience in tak
ing the course they did; they were
doing what they thought right, in
the expectation or hope that thus
they would bring nearer, or usher in,
the era of universal peace.
These statements -the Secertary
did not deny or question. Instead, in
effect, he admitted them. and then
called the attention of the petitioners
to certain facts which they had en
tirely ignored. Conscience has its
=ights, but there are also the obli
gations of citizenship and because of
those obligations the case of the con
scientious objectors was by no mean
as simple as it seemed to their friends

and defenders. Then he reminded his
anxious correspondents that by re
fusing to do military service and by
‘going to prison rather than enter
‘the army or aid it in any capacity,
these men did what they could to
make easy the extinction of their
own ideals and the substitution for
them, throughout the world, of the
directly opposite ideals upheld by
Germany. ‘
That, of course is true, for the‘

their ability, everywhere except at
