THE MAN FOR THE PLACE.
Tomorrow morning, in Atlanta, the
Georgia Board of Entomology will
elect a state entomologist.
The Times-Recorder hopes—and in
doing so we voice the sentiments of
thousands of Georgians, as well as of
the people of this immediate section—
that Mr. A. C. Lewis will be chosen
for the place.
In his twelve year's work in this
county, Mr. Lewis has demonstrated
hi 3 peculiar fitness for entomological
activities. He is a practical farmer,
besides being splendidly equipped for
pursuits in entomology. His connec
tion with the state board In former
years proved then that he was admir
ably fitted for the work.
His success in deevloping a special
ized cotton in this county has made !
Mr. Lewis a name all over the state.
A strong petition for the election of j
Mr. Lewis will be presented to the 1
state board, together with other influ
ential endorsements. These, together
with Mr. Lewis’ own record of
achievement, should be ample to con-|
vince the board that he is the veryj
man for the place.
The Tlmos-Rocorder, without being'
personally acquainted with Mr. Lewis, I
is thoroughly familiar with his work
and his capacity for work, and be
lieves that the interests of the state
will be well served In his selection for
state entomologist.
PROHIBITIONISTS.
The following 1* from the Washing
ton Times:
An employee of the House of
Representatives tells that from the
office of one of the Southern Demo
crats who voted "dry,” seven
Quarts of whisky were stolen a few
days ago, and that the member’s
entire office fores 1* out sleuthing
for It.
This is mx. surprising new# st all.
Ths only remarkable feature 1* that a
congressman In “dry” Washlagton was
Able to have aa muab on
lt~4a not unusual at all tor a legis
lator to vote one way and drink an
other.
- Nearly every state prohibition law
to the United States was passed by the
votes of men who personally look, with
satisfaction, on the wine when it Is
red.
It le doubtless because they them
eelvee, as the result of personal ex
perience, realise the vile of liquor
drinking that they vote, and have vot
ed, for prohibition.
However, there are all sorts of pro
hibitionists; mor© than can be enum
erated at random.
Chief among them is the political
prohibitionist, who favors the cause,
because his constituents favor it. He
absorbs various potions of alcoholic
stimulant, himself from time to time,
but he defers to the sentiments of
those who elect him, and easts his
ballot as they would have him vote.
Then there is that man whom Booth
Tarkington has branded as a ”nip
ekilMon"—a man who used to drink
but doesn’t any longer, for one reason
or other, and who doesn’t want any
body else to drink.
Related to him in degree la the fel
low who has never had a drink In
his life, who believes that intemper
ance is the world’s champion evil,
who cannot understand why anybody
else should ever want a drink, and
who feels that it is his consecrated
and anoointed duty to chase the Rum
Demon off the face of the earth. He
is also the fellow who thinks it is his
holy mission on earth to regulate the
morals of his fellow men.
There are, undoubtedly, sincere pro
hibitionists. They are opposed to traf
fic in whisky for moral and economic
.reasons. They believe the world will
be better without Intoxicants, as in
deed it will be. They hare no censure
for those who are addicted to partak
ing cf strong beverages, but think that
u.en with such proclivities should be
protected against themselves and
that the world ought to be protected
from them.
Still, we repeat, without the votes of
the men who, after voting, hollereu
for the boy to hasten with their toddy
or th : r julep or their martini, there
,'HK. AMERICUS GMEBRECOKDEH
would be no prohibition laws today,
liuch men ate not consistent at all, but
they have been helpful to the cause,
and for that much, at least they should
be thanked and appreciated.
NO WASTED SYMPATHY.
~— i
The following comment is taken
from the Dalton Citizen: |
The Times-Recorder has observed
i with regret, a disposition among some
' of the newspapers of Georgia to con
' tinue to expend editorial invective in
! the direction of Thomas E. Watson.
This reminds us that any jackass can
back up against a sick lion and kick.
—Americus Times-Recorder.
Which reminds us that during Mr..
Watson’s “haclyon days” there were
»
b few brave newspapers in the state
with enough courage to strike back
at the man, who has done the state
I
of Georgia as much harm—almost we
will say—as the invading army of
Sherman. He sought to array class
and individual against individual. He
encouraged sabotage and anarchy, and
today men are in stripes and in the.
chaingang for heeding his advice to
resist the dipping vat law, while thou-I
sands of good men, long ©ast th* ’
meridian of life, are fired with hate'
against their fellow men and their
government because of the vindica
tive and false teachings of a man who
has prostituted his Intellect to the
basest sort of uses. ,
If today this man Is sick and sore
distressed he has himself alone to
blame. He Is reaping a* he sowed.
If his mind has been overthrown,
it is hatred and malke and the nura- •
Ing of imaginary wrongs that hav* (
wrought the wreck.
If today he la pariah among hi* peo-I
pie, and despised by them, he ft ia
•who brought himself to such low*
estate . Ho is suffering from the,
same malady he sought to Inflict on*
those whom he despised all who would ‘
not bend to his Imperial will. I
For one we are not going to waste*
any sympathy over the sad plight of
Mr. Watson. He ha* -proved himself
■an enemy to Ma-cbostry and th* poo- '
pis he affected to lor* so much. Ha
has exploited them, and in return for’
th* spoils he ha* fed thantfiK mattes
qnd hatred na.|ll today they art tniswu.
ble in their belief that all people la
authority are bad and dlshoneet, and
that the government protects only th*!
strong and powerful, while making
the weak and miserable more so.
