Observations From
Here and There—
’sometimes it seems that this
country is fairly loaded down with i
knotty problems—that it has so ?
many things to set straight that it
is making no progress at all.
But there is a ray of hope in
the situation that we often forget
about.
And that is the extreme youth '
of our nation.
One hundred years ago Chica
go was a trading post and every-;
thing west of the Mississippi was
a wilderness. Texas and Califor- ’
nia were under Mexican rule and
towns like Detroit and Pittsburgh
were little more than mliitary out-j
posts. San Francisco was only
a little Spanish misson, and sev-'
eral hundred people lived in Los
Angeles.
These things considered, is it'
any wonder that there are some’
things wrong with our national
So rapid a growth is bound
to bring the rise of unwanted fea
tures. But it also implies a ca
pacity, in the national character,
to meet any and all difficulties!
and, sooner or later, to find away
out of them.
Religion and politics and radio.
What will be the outcome?
A few years ago the national
politician was forced to rely on
the newspapers to carry his mes
sage. Today he may reach mil
lions over the radio.
Until the last two years a min
ister addressed only those whom
he could see in front of him. Now
his audience listens from every
State in the Union.
The mediocre preacher, whose
Sunday night audiences have
been composed of those who ral
lied about him, through a sense
of loyalty—or habit—must com
pete with the greatest pulpit ora
ars of the nation. Paul Raidor in
hicago, or a divine in Nashville
nay fie more interesting than the
lome product. Both may be
reard in one night.
What will the average man
do? Remain at home with his
radio or doze in his accustomed
place in his home town church?
If you know human nature, you
know the answer.
? Radio will make it "hard sled-1
ding" for the lazy, hte mediocre,
the fellow who has been just get-|
ting by," both in politics and re-!
ligion-
A Georgia farmer is quoted by
the Savannah Press as saying
that "there was never a better
time to hold cotton than the pres
ent.’’ Commenting on that state
ment, the Press savs:
"Federal crop reports are confus
ing. The truth is that the pres
ent crop is very early and it will
not do to estimate future receipts
by the amount which has been al- .
ready ginned.
This year’s crop is one of the
earliest on record, probably th*?
earliest ever known. Cultivation
has been very rapid, owing to the
dry weather. The cotton plants
matured sooner than usual. The
continued hot weather was pro
tracted into October, hence the
bolls opened sooner. The amount
that had been ginned up to the
middle of October represents a
great percent of the crop.
A correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution believes that the cot
ton crop wil Ibe but a ittle over
13,000,000 bales. Ke argues that
cotton should be bringing 30 cents
soon and that the farmers of the
eotton belt/”should inaugurate a
holding movement. Their finan
cial condition enables them to do
this.
As a rule it is bad advice to give
farmers. Experience of the past
has shown that it is better market
the crop right off and ease up the
financial situation all around.
Very few farmers can afford to
hold their crop. Such speculations
has resulted badly heretofore. It
may be as this correspondent says,
that the estimates of this crop are
ton. large, and that the affect of
this has beep to depress prices.
Generally it is safe to sell. It may
be that this season is phenomenal.
Government estimates may be far
nut of the way. But such specula
tions should induce caution.
Ihe farmers who sold early

Southwest Georgia s day is
here, says the editor of the Al
bany Herald, and every editor in
this section of the State has said
the same thing time and time
again during the past six months.
Never has a section faced a
brighter future than is open now
to Southwest Georgia.
The Albany Herald, in the fol
lowing interesting editorial, gives
its reasons for stating that this is
"Georgia’s day:”
Years of preparation ha v e j
brought this land of rich endow
ment —a land to which nature has '
been prodigal in the bestowal of i
natural gifts—to the threshold of ‘
realization.
I.
Through all these years of con
servative development we have
been laying a foundation. We
might have done better, but on
the whole we have done fairly
well.
We have built progressive and
self-reliant communities. We have
linked them up with better high
ways, and many of these have
been paved. We have steadily in
creased the number of cur indus
trial plants, improved our school
systems, increased efficiency in
municipal and county govern
ments and improved health, condi
tions.
Thousands of acres of land have
been brought to high valuation as
the cultivated pecan industry has
fulfilled the promise which pio
neers in that industry foresaw.
More recently, our agricultural
system has been practically revolu
tionized, with the result that we
are no longer dependent upon one
money crop for prosperity. Crop
diversification has opened new
vistas through which the farmers
of this section envisage a greater
independence, and the increasing
demand for farm lands is signifi
cant of a new agricultural era.
No less important than these
material developments is the crys
tallization of a sectional conscious
ness—a realization on the part of
Southwest Georgia communities
that their material wellbeing is in
dissolubly bound up in a communi
ty of interest which all must recog
nize. No one town or county in
this section can prosper alone, and
the recognition of that fact is
making possible a co-operation in
which is the promise of endurtug
mutual benefits.
All these developments ♦ aether
form the material foundation on
which the future of Southwest
Georgia is to be built.
And the reassuring feature of
our condition is the solidity of that
on which we build. As Roger W.
Babson so clearly pointed out in
his thoughtful survey of South
west Georgia for the special edition
of The Herald of Sunday morning,
this section’s economic position is
sound. The basis laid for its com
ing prosperity and greater devel
opment is solid, and those who
build may do so with full confi
dence in their foundation.
Today Southwest Georgia faces
the greatest development of its
history. Never before has the at
tention of Georgia and neighbor
ing states been focused on this sec
tion as it is today. Never before
have so many investors and home
seekers been prospecting in South
west Georgia communities, and
never have as great developments
as now are definitely planned been
in prospect.
Newcomers are arriving daily.
Vacant farms are filling up. Towns
and cities are acquiring that new
blood which means enlarged busi
ness and manufacturing activities.
Lank deposits are increasing and
building records are being broken.
Partly as the result of these
conditions, and at the same time
serving largely as their inspiration,
is a fine spirit of confidence. One
meets it wherever he turns. It is
definite, positive and omnipresent.
It overflows copnty' lines and ani
mates all classes of citizens.
Verily, Southwest Georgia’s hour
has struck. The faith of men who
have refused to be discouraged to
day is justified. The good ship
Realization has come up over the
horizon, and she’s headed for port.
The faith of men who refuse
to be discouraged usually re
warded. It is the weakling, the
quitter, the visionless who lag be
hind and in the end lose ot t in
life’s battles. The men of South
west Georgia, always encouraged
by their women, have carried on
through dark and gloomy years.
The sun is peeping over the ho
rizon and its rays of brilliance
will glorify and make glad a peo
ple who deserve all that lies in
fortune’s lap.

In another month President Cool
idge will “have Congress on his
hands,’’ and there are indications
that he plans to assume that aggres- (
sive personal leadership which his
temperament and traditions have
made him reluctant to undertake.
Let us hope so.
For better or worse,, the Roosevelt
precedent, that what Congress does
is chiefly the president’s business, |
is still our only refuge from inefi
ciency and inaction. We may some 1
day devise a better system, but until j
we get it, there is nothing to do but '
operate me present one.
President Coolidge is in an excep- (
tionally fortunate position to do so.
! Even his opponents concede his
1 popularity with the people. His poli-■
I cies, so far as the people, know and
I understand them, have their support. I
If there are any new and unfamiliar 1
ones, the confidence of the people
will tend to bring them to follow the
president’s lead. 1
What they want is for Congress to
1 do so, too. Only vigorous insistence
by Mr. Coolidge personally, using the
weapons which his office gives him,
can accomplish that.

HUMAN VOICE
AROUND WORLD
j Predictions are made that the
human voice will soon be heard a
round the world. Except as a feat, it
, is already heard practically without
. terrestrial limit. It is physically pos
sible lor anybody anywhere to speak
I so that anybody anywhere else, can
hear him.
I And that means that some new
' rules will have to be applied. Wl? -?i
many persons are assembled in one
room, to communicate with each
I other, they have to appoint a chair
man or moderator, and whoever
wishes to speak has to “get the
floor.” The chief function of the
presiding officer, and of the par
liamentary rules under which he
I operates, is to see to it that every-
I body does not speak at once, lest no-
I body be heard.
When the world becomes one room
the same condition exists Free speech
! has to be curtailed, Only one at a
■ time, or as many at a time as there
I are selective wavelengths, canspeak,
and there must be some one to super
1 vise the order of it.
Character is about like muscle. If
you are not called upon to use either

’Tis folly to flirt with a little white be, though maybe it’s told
without batting an eye The fib that is told, just to cover things up,
can only pour trouble, at best, in your cup.
It’s funny how things of that nature work out. It’s funny how
people can turn fibs about. A falsehood keeps growing, and grow
ing each day, until, later on, it will give you away.
We all find that, oflen, the simplest way out, is telling a story
that hinges on doubt. A little white lie maybe flows without pain,
and comes so a person won’t have to explain.
And yet, after all, if you’re doing things right, you never need
fear if the truth comes to IkhL The man who can look every soul
in the eye, need never t ..ic ng behind a white lie.
