Peoples Gsa Bldg.. Chicago. Walton Building Atlanta EDITORIALS A Blot That Should Be Erased— Before the world, Georgia— this State with a glorious past and a brilliant future —stands today with bowed head and cheeks blushing red. Three millions of honorable men and women have been dishonored by a small band of lawless rascals whose venomous cry for venge ance was appeased when they beat to death a crazy negro. The liquor-crazed Indians of Colonial days who dash out the brains of infants against a rock were far less criminal than those men who removed the insane Willie Dixon from the asylum at Milledgeville, and beat his head into a pulp with a pick handle. True, this negro has killed a white nurse —one of those earth ly angels who minister to the mentally unbalanced in Geor gia’s home for the insane, but the negro was not responsible. He was a lunatic- He knew not what he was doing. There is a law in the State to handle Dixon s case and the law would have dealt quickly and fairly with him. Justice would have been done. What a contrast there is be tween this gang and the splen did men ,of Cordele. Not so many weeks ago a white man committed a greater crime in Cordele than did this crazy ne gro. The men of Cordele honorable, law-abiding citizens of South Georgia——demanded justice—quick and severe. The criminal was tried, found guilty and sentenced. Soon he will pay for his crime with his life. But he will pay UNDER the law and not OUTSIDE the law. So far as the crazy negro is concerned, it matters little, for he probably knew nothing of what was happening. What does matter is that a few men are allowed to damn the repu tation of an entire State and GET AWAY WITH IT. Press dispatches stated that the mob cam e unmasked; that those who composed the gang were generally known. Be that as it may, one thing is certain: If those who are supposed to represent law in Georgia had the backbone to act, the guilty men would now be behind the bars, awaitign indictment for premed itated murder. That gang whcih lynched Dix on is far less guilty than the con stituted authorities of the State —from the lowest constable to the Governor—if they fail to apprehend and convict the guilty. The mob has cast a blot on their State which must be wiped out by administering adequate punishment, severe enough to cause others to hesitate to follow in the footsteps of Dixon's lynch ers. * * * Hardwick’s Free Lance— We have just had the pleas ure of reading the first issue of Tom Hardwick’s new weekly paper. The Georgia Free Lance, and have sent him a couple of “bucks” for the next 52 issues, figuring that 52 nights pleasure for the gross sum of two dollars is a good bargain. From the very first issue we see there’s bound to be some fun in Georgia, and while we do not always agree with the fearless ex-Senator, some times we do. That the Free Lance will be readable and provocative of ma ture reflection on many subjects —and men— is evidenced by the following paragraphs, clip ped at random— This paper will not seek to re form the whole world, all at once. On the contrary it firmly believes that the people are already sick of the fake “reforms” that have been foisted upon them. This pa per will propose no new and ad ditional regulation of the already over-regulated and over-bossed citizen. This paper has no hob by-horse to ride. On the con trary it believes and asserts that far too many hobby-hroses are being ridden already, to the dis comfort and danger not only of their fool riders, but also of the innocent by-stander, the average citizen. The Democratic party will soon UIAIUSUH A THOUGHT | A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.—Prov. 15:20. ■ « • We think our fathers fools, 30 wise we grow; our wiser sons will think us so.—Pope. face a real crisis. Unless it can throw off false leadership and rid itself of “in visible” government—of every kind and from every quarter—it is domed. If “Al” Smith and McAdoo are allowed to stage ‘just one more battle for the Presidential nomi nation like the last one they pull ed off the Democratic party had just as well make no nomination for the election will be lost, any how and by default. Page Kliff Walker. Who is he? Don’t you recall the man who once manifested every known symptom of hydrophobia at the every mention of “invisible gov ernment” at the Kimball house, but who now hardly exh : bits even the slightest symptoms of ma laria when others mention the “invisible government” which has its headquarters at the "Imperial Palace” of the Klan! Kliff, the hero of the battle of Kansas City—who started to the East, incognito, and wound up in the West to shame his State by being the only Governor present at the National Klonvocation of the Klan:> Kliff—who in order to be elected Governor, and before he was elected said: “I am opposed to any additional taxes. I am op posted to the income tax or any other additional tax burden.” Kliff: Who ever since the elec tion has favored the income tax and every other additional tax burden. Florida is the great “play ground” State. Georgia is the great work State. The two States must, necessarily, develop along totally different lines, and are in sense rivals of each other. Thoughtful Georgians every where unite in the hope that Flor ida’s present prosperity may not only continue unabated but may also increase by leaps and bounds.

The Commissioner —of Agriculture? No! Os poli tics? Yes! The boss of “the machine” with his army of “in spectors,” heelers—and hench men, almost as numerous, and fully as dangerous to person and property as the motly array of carpet-baggers and scallawags that followed Sherman’s army in its march through Georgia to the Sea J. J. Brown, the puffed-up demagogue who is foolish enough to believe and arrogant enough to boast that he makes and un makes Senators, Governors, and Speakers, that he dominates Con ventions, and controls Legisla tures! J. J. Brown, “The far mers friend,” who has farmed the farmers of Georgia so long but who has made his last crop! Yes. Georgia is all right—it must be all right—so long as it can pro duce a great man like Brown and call him Boss.” S'am Slate, our State Auditor, seems to be a good man in the right place. He ought to have more assis tance and more power. The extravagences and waste, to use no harsher terms, ought to be stopped before they occur, rathere than exposed after they occur. It is far better to lock the stable door before the horse is stolen. There’a sure to be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among certain of the State’s professional politicians, few of whom have anything in common with Editor Hardwick Many there are who voted against him in his last race for Governor that have seen the er ror of their ways and so express ed themselves- Hardwick is stronger political ly todav than he was then. With a weekly paper to herald his views, there’s a splendid pros pect of the State witnessing an other Hardwick political come back. ,7 Mow DY, MR.

EDITORIAL There is only one debt settle-1 ment that the French sentiment] will tolerate. That is that the French taxpayers shall pay nothing, and that nothing shall be paid except what is re ceived from the Germans. I There is also one settlement thati American sentiment will consider. ! That is, that the French shall pay all they owe, regardless of what the Germans pay. , Both of these bases of settlement are impossible. But those who negotiate the terms are responsible to people that will tolerate no others, and will re pudiate any government that does not perform those impossibilities. So the problem is to do the possi ble and make it seem the impossi ble. It is a hard enough job to dis cover what really ought to be done, and to secure intelligent agreement on it. When this is complicated witn | the political task of making this look like something else, it becomes 1 about the most delicate task in the I world The most sensible thing to do will be to leave it to the very able | negotiators., and accept what they' succeed in doing . It is sure to be wrong—anything would be. Sb, let us make the best of what ever it is. IS FOSDICK ALSO A POLITICAL HERETIC? I>r. Henry Emerson Fosdick is in j danger of being accused of political as fell as religious heresy. I It was bad enough for him to have a concepton of God broader than that of his critics. Th; t was “atheism.” Now he expresses a conception of public duty also broader thar that of the vociferous localists. That can be nothing less than treason.
