OFFICIAL ORGAN FOR:
City of Americus.
Sumter County.
Webster County.
Railroad Commission of Georgia For
Third Congressional Dustrict
U. S. Court, Southern District of
Georgia.
Americus, Ga., June 21, 1917
Doesn't it make you just a trifle
ashamed to look at the total of tin
Red Cross subscriptions and compare
it with the amount of money tied ' p
in automobiles that traverse the .
streets of Americus every day?
“A fetching bathing suit will draw
more men than: flies,” says the Thom
asville Times Enterprise. Most of
these fetching bathing suits will al
so draw up to almost nothing if the
wearer gets more than her feet wet.
The espionage act among other c
things absolutely controls the ship C
went of arms and munitions of war 1
across the Mexican border, thereby (
affording the necessary check on any *
embarassing situation that might arise ’
in the land of periodical revolutions
With that new fire alarm system
about to be put into commission,
Americus will be about the best equip
ped city of its size in the matter of '
fire protection, now that we also hav?
two of the latest model automobile
fire trucks and an augumented force
of firemen.
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland has
clapped her royal spouse into the
"hoos gow,” and is taikin? about
throwing him out of the back door in
to his own native land, Germany
whence she brought him a few years
ago. The husband of the mistress o’
the bursters aided three German of
ficers to escape from their detention
camp and return to their commands
in the field.
Our old side kicker George F. Woot
en, (he of the six quart hat and "jim
swinger”), comes to bat with a con
coction of alleged poetry which by
some hook or crook has gotten past
the mail censor. We pass it on to a j
long suffering public:
“In Eden we are told, in days of old,
Eve wore no skirt until an apple she
ate;
Then said she to Adam, "Now listen
to your Madame.
I tell you Kid, it was great.”
Until then she’d not known how much
was shown
Os her graceful form and feature;
So with shame and distress she fash
ioned a dress
And set the style for each female
creature.
Now, little Sis, this moral don’t miss,
E’en though it may give yon j»ain;
I* skirts get shorter as you say they
“orter,”
We’ll soon have to pass the apple
again.”
OUR FEEBLE RESPONSE.
The general failure of the people of
this section, (as well as others) to re
alize the fact that the United States is
at war with Germany and that within
a few months American soldiers will,
be lying torn and bleeding in No
Man’s I .and, may be the basic reason
for the comparatively faint and feeble
response made to the appeal of the
Red Cross for funds with which to
carry on its work of relieving human
suffering.
The people of the nation are being
I called upon to contribute $100,000,000 ,
1 for the establishment of Red Cross
hospitals and ambulance units and
the accumulation of vast quantities (
of medical supplies for use on the (
battlefields on which the Stars anl
Stripes are soon to be carried. .
Sumter county’s share of this fund
has bfeen placed at SIO,OOO in the ap- (
portionment which includes t
pity and community in the United s
States. Every individual citizen is re- .
ceiving a personal, urgent appeal to t
assist in this merciful task. Other f
sections of the country are carrying
their proportionate share of the burd- r
en, if burden it be, and that Sumter
county should fall short of fulfilling v
its obligation would be truly regret- L
table.
The noble women who are taking
the responsibility of canvassing the
county for Red Cross contributions,
deserve not only the courteous treat
ment that every true Southerner ac
cords womanhood, but the heartiest
co-operation as regards financial sup
port. It is unbelievable that some of
our citizens have so far forgotten
their manly qualities as to ridicule or
belittle thei efforts of these unselfish
tender hearted women whose only de
sire is to minister to the needs of
those who will go forth to do battle
for the principles of justice and lib
erty.
We citizens of Sumter county are
of a stock that reckoned not financial
gain above the alleviation of human
suffering in the dark days of the ’6o’s
Our fathers fought for the cause they
held to bo right, while our mothers
gave their gold, their goods and even
deprived themselves of necessities in
order that the wounded soldiers of the a
Confederacy might receive the best 5
medical attention possible under the j
circumstances. Shall we do nothing ,
for the lads who go to fight the battles ;
of a united country? ,
RUSSIA’S FALSE LEADERS.
No longer is it possible to take the
kindly view that the Petrograd coun
cil of workmen’s and soldiers’ dele
gates is working with the single aim
< f doing what is best for Russia.
If at first the caporings of the
pacificist of this council recalled the
musing reflections of Hermione, the
latter splenetic attacks upon the
American. French and British allies
ol Russia have recently revealed the
ugly head of German intrigue.
Sheer incompetency might have ex
plained the frequent statemenits made
by the council with respect to “peac;
without annexation or indemnities.”
Stupidity might have explained the at
titude of the council in stating peace
turns more favorable to Germany thar
any that Germany had ever suggested
it her own interest.
But the council of workmen’s and
soldiers' delegates has now come into
the open with virulent attacks upon
the entry of the United States into - the
i war, upon the statement of war aims
by America, France and Great Britain
and upon the suggestion that there
must be victory over autocracy before
there can be any satisfactory basis of
peace.
The council has not added an iota tJ
tbe efficiency of Russia in the war. It
has not brought peace nearer, but has
put it further off by its pleas for peace
at any price.
Fortunately the outside world is not
deceived by the attitude of the coun
cil, nor is there any disposition to ac
. cept its attitude as representative nt
the sentiment of the Russian people
The sentiment of the people is oppos
ed to German intrigue, whivh is weak
ening Russia in the w»r. The Russia.”,
people rid themselves of the Roman
ofis not to put other weaklings in their
. place, but to end vacillation and be
come effective against German autoc-
racy.
I The council is trifling with destiny,
f The Russian people, liberated and
-'clear-visioned, will find true leaders
> 'The faith of the friends of civilization
■ is reposed in the Russian people,
j Washington Post.
ENOUGH OF THE GOLDMAN KIND.
Emma Goldman and her ‘‘man’’
Berkman, who have finally been ar
rested on a charge of conspiring to
prevent registration, have flouted and
defied the government until something
more impressive should be done to
them than merely imposing a short
prison term or a fine.
It is high time that these most not
orious of all the anarchists in this
country should be interned for the
period of the war, if not for the per
iod of their natural lives.
Berkman has been in the limelight
ever since his cold-blooded attempt
to assassinate Henry C. Frick in 1894,
and from the day he came under the
influence of the Russian Delilah has
been a disturbing influence in this ,
country.
The Goldman woman has been ar
rested ten times, as she herself was
proud to boast in New York Thursday
when she was taken in charge, and
has long been recognized as one of the
most dangerous characters in this
country.
She is a typical example of the mar
plots and incendiaries nursed into
prominence and prosperity under the
free institutions of America which, in
| despicable ingratitude, they seek to
.destroy. She was born in Russia, un
der the most despotic government the
world then knew, and spent her girl
hood until the age of seventeen as a
drudge in Prussia.
Escaping from this servitude she
came to this country, but instead of
rejoicing in a new-found liberty and
making the most of her opportunities
like the snake in the fable she bit the
benefactor w'hich had warmed her to
life.
She has no morals and no convic
tions of a constructive character. She
is against all forms of government,
and while to the man of intelligencj
her absurd doctrines are worth noth
ing more than a smile, she has been
able to exert a sinister influence on
weak tiinds, as when she succeeded
in pe: lading a few unfortunates to
refrain from registering, and hence
got them sent to jail for theit
recalcritrancy.
Perhaps there is some excuse for
looking with contemptuous indulg
ence on her and her kind in time of .
peace, but in a crisis like this there is
no excuse for dallying with treason. '
She should be not only kept in close
custody, but should be sent to some
quiet place where she could no longer
court the publicity which has always
been the very breath of her nostrils.
And, to tell the truth. Emma Gold
man is not the only defiant traitor
who should be locked up. We migh:
as well make up nnr minds that this
is a time of war and make a clear
sweep of the cowardly agents of sedi
tion. —Macon News.
Kaiser William has put a price on
the head of the captain of the Amer
k
ican ship Mongolia, which sunk a
German submarine a few weeks ago
1 It is barely possible that the Mon
golia’s captain will retain his top
piece long enough to witness the fin
ish of the Teutonic war lord.
