EDITORIALS Joe Is The Main “Bureau Drawer” • Joe Jackson has his team ol ball players in Thomasville this week before large crowds. The Ihomasville Enterprise says that Joe may net be the greatest ball player on earth but he and his bunch of stick artists “shore draws a crowd and Joe is the main drawer of the bureau.” I rank Harrold says Joe and his aggregation will play here before many more days, con tracts already having been sign ed. Joe’s ability as a ball player, his even temper and sportsman like conduct while here earned for him hundreds of admirers who will, no doubt, flock to the Playground to see Shoeless Joe *in action again. Human Nature At Its Worse Some people are always “re porting” clerks, porters and de liverymen for such terrible of fenses as incivility, discourtesy or slow service. In its chronic form, this “re porting” is a symptom of diseas ed nerves—sometimes of mania. All of us have it, at times. Psychologists explain: The in dividual encounters many dis agreeable things in the course of his dally business—things which he must siwallow in silence, for fear that a retort would injure his own welfare- For instance, a bullying boss “rags” an em ploye who dare not talk back, else he lose his job. Resentment piles up inwardly and finally is vented on some un fortunate porter or clerk who forgets that we should be fawn ed over, no matter how nasty we become, and commits the unpar donable sin of neglecting to play up to their vanity. Most of us are Chinese em perors at heart particularly when we are buying goods or services. Complaints are necessary at times, it would be ridiculous to claim otherwise. Bui nearly al ways the complaint is exaggerat ed in the making. A railroad porter or conductor, as an illus tration, silently stands for a lot of gaff from the traveling pub lic. If, incensed, he explodes with even a single sharp retort, the kick that is made to head quarters magnifiers that retort even to the claim of attempted physical violence against the kicker. Why can’t people be fair and human in complaining? Why exaggerate? Why lie? I he kick may result in the firing of an employe driven to distrac tion and sharp retort by troubles at home—such as illness of a wife or financial desperation. Would you knowingly throw such a man into the breadline and deny his wife medical serv ices? Os course, not. Yet that is exactly what many of us have done when we have “reported” an employe unfairly. These clerks and conductors and ethers who serve us in our buying and traveling are human beings. We might treasure them as warm friends if we knew them ini imately. Sensible and Christian are members of the Appreciation League, who “report” only good service and courtesy—and over look incivility as something that eventually delivers its own punishment by keeping the doer from being successful or hap py- Join the Appreciation League. There are no dues or initiation fees, but the benefits are . large. There’s happiness for one’s self for having done a good turn; the satisfaction of making others happy and scattering a bit of sunshine along the way. “As Drunk As a Lord” L,ady Asfor recently deliver ed a speech from the quotation As a Lord, and the. Savannah Press (Jiserves that— Tin ingua i<<» woman nu m -1m i 1 ollament is a strung ad- ; A THOUGHT Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God.— Revelations 3:12. » * * Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever humble and commonplace ways; there God is hewing out the pillars for his temple.--Phil lips Brooks, she say- he i not ready to spon sor | rohibition. However, Lady Astor denies that Lords as a rule get drunk, but a great many of them become Lords because they sell drink. This evidently is an allusion to the number of distillers and brewers who have been knighted. In a copyright telegram to the New York Times, Lady Astor is quoted as adding: “Il is a very odd way of ennobling yourselves. No matter what good they may do with their vast fortunes, they can never undo the damage they have done in making them.” Os the many fortunes made from the manufacture and sale of liquors in this country, but few have brought to their pos sessors either happines or lasting prosperity. It seems to be a case of ill-gotten gain and Old Man Retribution eventually shows up for his toll, which is never light. Usually we pay as we go. Fact That Is Self- Evident Speaking of the levying o( in come taxes. Secretary of the I reasurv Mellon recently was quoted in the press as saying: “The levy of an income tax, at proper rates, is a fair and eco nomically sound means of raising the immense revenues required for operation of the government. But the tax must not be levied at rates so high as to hamper business, slacken initiative, dis tort investment and encourage avoidance of the tax. “If the position of the income tax is to be made secure, we must prove its essential integrity. We must give to the country a law which closes the most obvious doors of escape from taxation without at the same time expos ing the law to attempt by load ing it with complicated provis ions unsuccessful in stopping tax avoidance. Our present law has many of these defects. A taxable investment should yield a return of about 8 percent EDITORIALS ■; J ' ’ Y A--- - -IkKOWCIr 1 ' Gold-Standard money makes gov ernments sound. That is the rea son why government-minded Eng land has sacrificed so much to re store it. But sound money also restores the safeguard of free institutions— the “middle class.” It is having that effect in Ger many, where inflation worked a social revolution, and practically ex terminated this class. The new money will not save all the individuals whom the collapse of the mark impoverished, hives - nients in securities are gone. But it is restoring the class, whether in the same persons or oth ers. Professional men can now iivc as well as laborers. University professors no longer starve. Business men can buy new goods for the money they received for the old. Savings can be invested. Banks are safe, and can loan money on good security. These things are socially quite <’s important as government. Th-.-j are the reason why France and B uy must also face the problem of re valuing their currency, and placing it on a gold basis. Economically .that is possible now, in both countries. Politically, it is idfficult only be cause the politicians who would have to do it fear they would lose th votes of people who would thereby discover that they had not told them the truth before. ARE WE AS STUPID AS POLITICIANS THINK? Salesmanship and polities as sume that the people have feelings and moral impulses, but no interest in using their brains to think with.

INC. * / OTHER DAYS IN AMERICUS TEN YEARS AGGO TODAY (From 'l'he Tiraes-Decorder, July 10, 1915.) Americus warehousemen do not seem to know how much further ti e market will d- cline as it’is on to equal the net return of a 4 1-2 percent tax-exempt security. “On the other hand, under a total normal and surtax of 20 percent, a taxable security yield slightly more than 5 1-2 percent would be equivalent in net re turn to 4 1-2 percent municipal bond. “We can see, therefore, if the surtax rates are reduced to a reasonable figure, the lure of tax exempt securities become loss ap pealing and the man of large income will find it advantageous to invest in productive business.” The Federal secretary of the treasury told the whole story j when he said the tax must not be levied at rates so high as to hamper business, slacken initia tive, distort investment or en coui.ge avoidance of taxation. The present income tax rates are, accomplishing all of the evils that Mr. Mellon would eliminate, therefore it should be amended at the next session of congress. Nobody cares. He calls those who disagree with him jackasses, and a few more things. Magnificent! IL- shows that municipal distribu tion of this power is noiv impossi ble, and can only become possible under certain, by no means assured, conditions . Nobody notices it. He proclaims himself the friend cf tlie words “municipal ownership.’ Great applause! Everything in the statement that appeals to the intelligence is over looked. Everything that impugnes somebody’s moral motives, or that expresses hot emotion, is applauded. That is, by the assembled politi cians. They' probably know better themselves. ; Like salesmen, jury lawyers and their fellow-politicians, thejr assume that the people do’jiot. Do they underestimate the intelli gence of the people, or are the peo ple mistaken in their disgusted con clusion that their representatives are as foolish as they pretend? WHY NOT COURT WITNESSES? Because he woul I not be respon sible for him, the prqsecutor in the Shepherd case asked that ‘Dr.’ Fai man, diploma-mill head, be called as “witness for the court” rather than as “witness for the prosecution.” Why is not the same system com moner with more reputable wit nesses? In all criminal aid most civil cases, there is a brlader interest than the question whiyi side ‘wins.’ 'The judge represents that interest.

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY Monday, no paper published. THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times-Recorder, July 10, 1895.) For weeks the annual picnic a’ Huntington, ten miles ea: I of Ar ericus, has been pleasantly anticipal - . The date of th epicnic this yea v is the 12th inst. next Friday and a large crowd will go from Americus. A matrimonial wave seems to be sweeping over Americus. Another Gretna Green affair was “booked” for last Sunday, but unfortunately the plans miscarried. A “way up in G” wedding, it is rumored, may oc cur this week. The large storeroom i nthe Hamil Block No. 215 is being fitted up and will be occupied shortly by the hardware firm of H. J. Fite and Company. Mr. W. M. Tullis the grocer, will occupy the store to be vacated by Fite and Company. Mr. Shelby Myrick and guest, Mr. Albert Mathis of Thomaston, left yesterday for St. Simons, where they will spend several days enjoy ing the attractions of the very de lightful resort. The streets were crowded yester day with people and teams from the country, and business was far above the average. Hundreds of dollars worth of produce was hauled in and sold and nter -hunts and farmers were alike benefitted. SpylDM ‘to SIMS You can’t keep a good thermom eter down.
