Atlanta. > EDiIO R 1 A L S Observations Here and There— A number of Georgia towns were "scrambling" for the "great Chicago protorcade of more than 100 cars", scheduled to pass through Georgia in their triumphal drive from the Lakes to the Gulf. The word "motorcade" caught the public fancy. It sounded like a "host,’’ a multitude." But the "motorcade" petered out as will be seen from the fol lowing news dispatch from Gulf port, Miss.: “The motorcade from Chicago to the Mississippi coast and Flor ida arrived at Gulfport early to night. The eight cars met with a welcome from parked automobiles as they passed through the busi ness district. , “The motorcade numbered twenty cars at the start from Chicago, but twelve went to New Orleans before coming to the coast.” A lot of money and more hu man energy is sometimes wasted on these so-called “motorcades" which sweep through at 20 miles and hour and forget both State and county by the next day. There are better channels for in vesting the community’s advertis ing appropriation. Those towns which have receiv ed the greatest returns from the advertising appropriations are the towns where advertising men have been placed in charge of the appropriation. Often the shrewd-! est business man knows the least about the science of advertising.) He is not familiar with mass ap-' peal; he knows nothing of media, rates or display. Ihe business world, however, is fast coming to the point where it realizes that advertising is a di-! rect and definite science, the! lame as medicine, engineering or aw. If properly expended, the idvertsiing dollar is an invested lollar, otherwise it is wasted. One of the wisest things our national government ever did was to establish the big national parks in the west. I For years these great areas of land have been held as play grounds for all America, barred from exploitation by private in-| dividuals, kept free for any citi zen who cares to visit them. You hear much criticism of Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of the in-, terior, in the west. But before you accept it, look well to the motives of the people who are voicing it. | Isn’t it just possible that Dr.' Works insistence on safeguard- 1 ing our national parks against! encroachments by private inter-1 ests has stirred up some of this! antagonism? Dr. Work has defended thej parks. And that is no small serv-l ice to the country. With the tide of sweeping South, it won’t be long' before the South will have its na-i tional parks, as the West now, has. In the Mountains of North! Georgia, in the Sapphire country | of North Carolina, in Tennessee' and fartrher West, there are spots' as beautiful as those in the West.| These should be purchased preserved for the generations the future. Being on a direct line between ; the East and the Central West and Florida, Georgia’s mountain country would be visited in time by as many people as the parks in the West. We have made a beginning in Georgia in opening, this wonderfully beautiful section by building the highway from Atlanta to Neel’s Gap- The South must have her na tional parks, the same as the West. Gerald Chapman, notorious bandit and killer, loses another step in his effort to save his neck. Chapman will lofee his life for the murder of a New Briton po liceman. He may or he may not have fired the shot which laid low the officers of the law. Chapman’s conviction was made certain be cause of his reputation. A bad name seems to have convinced those jurors that if Chapman did rot kill, it was because someone else faed fast, that he would A THOUGH! | 1 had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.— Psalms 84: 10. Had I but served my God with half the zeal 1 served my king, he would not in mine old age have left me naked to mine enemies.—Shakes pear. have killed if it had been neces sary. Probably Chapman now re calls that Scriptural text which says, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.” If Governor Walket calls an extra session of the Legislature —which he will—he MIGHT in clude the question of Brother Brown’s fertilizer and oil inspect ors in the list of important things to be considered. Sure, he MIGHT, but WON’T. 1 hose useless gentlemen who are supposed to inspect oil, gas and guano are rather necessary adjuncts to a political campaign. They are costing the State a mint of money, but what of that? Having certain politicians serve the dear people" costs those self-same dear folks a lot of coin, but that’s what the "dear people" want. If they didn’t, the Browns and Ennises find Walkers would never hold office. The test of the sincerity of an office-holder is not necessarily what he does for his constituents, but what he FAILS to do for HIMSELF. There isn’t a half wit in the State who can’t see the uselessness of 186 oil inspectors or realizes why they are kept on the State’s pay roll. Yes, Governor Walker MIGHT include the abolishment of the oil inspector graft, but he won’t. The federal government is making a strenuous and conscien tious effort to keep on reducing taxes, and it having its effect; but in many instances city and coun ty taxes keep rising by leaps and bounds. We suggest that this is so, part-j ly at least, because of the great! lessness of the American voter re- ■ garding whom he elects to city and county offices.. When all is said and done, the caliber of our senators and con gressmen is fairly high. But, in many, many parts of the country, city and county officials don't measure up. Economy is a word that is ut terly foreign to the nature of the small-time politician- He doesn’t want to practice it, and he hasn’t the capacity to do it intelligent ly if he would. And that s one reason why city and county taxes keep on ris ing. A capitalist is one who has saved or accumulated something —either money, stocks, bonds or property. "When people invest their savings in banks, they ac quire the banker’s poin* of view," remarks the Detroit Saturday Night. "If they do not, their banks will not last long. When people invest in stocks they ac quire the stockholders point of view. They want their stocks to be worth something. They are working to accumulate private property." Spending 100 cents of every dollar earned isn’t good business, j Every man who has accumulated i something advises others to save* —-to start a savings account in j his nearest bank. It is from the, small beginning that happiness' and comfort come. Saving be-1 comes a habit, just as pending is a habit. Open an account to-| day, even if it be but a few dol- i lars. Becoming interested in sav-' ing, you soon take it as a game, 1 and the dollars pile up. The Insurance Age-Jouranl, of Marblehead, Mass., is opposed to the publication of income taxes. It is securing informa tion, which while legal according to our courts, savors of the sur reptitious." The Boston Herald considers such publication an ‘exploitation of the intimate details of our fel low citizen’s business, merely for the gratification of idle or malig nant curiosity. Such publication breeds suspicion and distrust, jealousy and animosity. It ex poses business men to sinister or demagogic attacks. It yields huge amounts of ipismformation, for in numerous cases the bare figures revealed are not anywhere near an exact revelation of the taxpayer s income. The average American does not like to have folks snooping around to find out what they can about h s private afairs. His resentment is just." Nothing will do more to drive large incomes and capital out of -VILDD CENTER FOLKS _.. fe" WHAT You’ve GOTTA V WFAvews!

(From The Times Recorder, Nov. 9, 1905) EDITORIALS HR ■ 1 I Silas H. Strawn, special American commissioner to China, has evident ly learned something of oriental skill in softening the bluntness of diplomacy. He announces that America is will productive industry into hiding, or tax-exempt bonds, so long as they are permitted by law, than the publication of income tax re turns- Millions of Americans feel that the amount they make, so long as it is acquired honestly, is no one’s business but their own and they will not submit to hav ing their affairs talked over by the town gossips. With the death of Mrs. Sidney Drew in Los Angeles the other day passed the lone remaining member of a pair of light come dians who gave our moving pic tures some of the shrewdest, cleanest comedies the films have known. With her husband, who died in 1919, she made many comedies of married life. They weren’t slapstick stuff, but they were hu man and they were funny. It was good, wholesome humor, and it came at a time when good, wholesome humor was a scarce article on the screen. The movies owe quite a debt j to Mr. and Mrs. Drew. And so do all the rest of us who like a healty laugh. One of the accusation most often leveled against us by crit ics from abroad is our tendency to standardize everything to one dead level. As far as material things go, this is a good tendency. But in other matters it is different. . Don’t insist that your neighbor hold the same moral and mental standards that you hold. Don't demand that there be one stand ard and one only for all the coun try. Let’s have as much variety as we can. For standardization, in such matters, is the enemy of free thought. And, great as our country is, it could stand, a few more thinkers. AMERICUS j iMES-RECORDER It is just six days and fifteen minutes now until the real circus comes and the roar of the elephants I awakens the echoes here.

If jazz music isn’t dying it ought I to hush. ing- to go beyond the terms of the ashington treaty in granting tariff relief to China, but adds that the United States must be advised of the plan for the abolition of the ‘‘likin’’ system, and for putting it in to effect coincidentally with tariff autonomy. I hat effectively “passes the bu ” to the Chinese. For, in the past, <. >- ing away with “likin” was just w ,t no Chinese fiovernment was able > These “liken” taxes are tariff imposts collected by the separate provinces or local governments at their own frontiers, on goods in transit, in addition to whatever na tional duties may have been col lected at the port of entry. It is easy to abolish thes duties on paper. But what Commissioner Strawn asks for is a plan for abolish ing them in fact. So long as the Ideal authorities are stronger than the central gov ernment, and will not obey its or ders, something more than a paper prohibition is needed. China will get tariff autonomy as soon as it is autonomous in its own affairs. But until the Chinese government can govern China, foreign powers must continue methods of protecting themselves, which would be prepos terous in a reall self-governing na tion. The League of Nations dedicated the session in which the stoppage of the war between Greece, and Bul garia was announced, to the memory of Woodrow Wilson. It was the voice of history, speaking on a his toric occasion. How long it will be before Ameri ca doe? full justice to the memory of Woodrow Wilson, only time can tell. And, when the verdict is made up, it will include the judgment that the pathological obstinacy of the stricken president was a large ele ment in defeating American partici pation in the unification of the world, of which he was the founder. But there can be no question that the worlds of Briand; in his tribute to Wilson, were the voices of perma nent history, in America as well as in Europe, giving to Woodrow Wil warson his just place as the author of the only constructive result of the war, and the founder of a new world order. LABOR FEREDATION WARNS NEGRO The American Federation of La bor warns th e negroes against affilia tion with a Communist labor or ganization. The advice is, of course, good. But the best way to vaccinate We thrive on the fact that our country’s at peace and we boast that our friendship is real. Our harmony manner is ever increased, and the right sort of spirit we feel. 'ihe worry of war isn’t ours any more, and a much lighter feel ing’s at play. What mors can we ask, than to turn to our task, in the quiet that’s ruling today’ And yet, uieaPi an a>i & ie Lhal has a big pari in the making of peace that is strong. Real harmony’s played on the strings of your heart, and it helps peace to travel along. it pays us to give of our best, and let live, for nc matter where ver you roam, you :ays will find that the very best kind of peace has its start in the home. THOMPSON HAS BIG P.-T.A. MEET Teachers and Pupils of Thomp son School Go Into the Movies _______ • Characterized by unusual enthus iasm and voicing determination to i do even more for the school in the luture, the regulor monthly meet- j ing of the Parent-Teachers Asso- ; negro laborers against revoultionary influences is to assure them their de- j mocratic rights. The best way to keep them out of I Communist unions is to admit them Ito the regular unions, or to form regluar unions of them. In fact, the safest policy toward the ’ negroes generally, as they become mor e edu cated and therefore better able to make trouble if they are so disposed, is to see to It that they get all their rights under existing laws and in stitutions. I What are the rights of a negro? I Exactly all the rights of a white I man of the same character and other ; qualities with only ohe exception, i That is the right of intermarriage I with the white race, and to inter- I mingling in those social relations I which naturally lead to marriage.

MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 9, 1925 ciation Friday goes on record as one of the best in the history of the or ganization. Thirty eight members were present out of a total enroll ment of fifty. Os especial interest was the report made by the delegates to the District Meeting held in Shell man Thursday of this week. It is worthy of note that the i Thompson P.-T.-A. is the only rural j organization in the district that is ' affiliated with the state P.-T.-A. At ■ the Friday afternoon meeting a spe- ■ cial program was rendered by the school, consisting of songs, readings 1 and several laughable stunts. De-I licious refreshments were served in the Domestic Science Room. At the next monthly meeting the pupils of the school will be the guests of the P.-T.-A. For at least once in their lives our teachers and pupils have realized the sensation that comes from going into the movies. Thursday morning there came representatives from the devel opment department of the Seaboard Railroad making pictures advertising I the communities through which the railroad goes. In and out the pupils marched before the camera, while the operator “shot” them going and coming. It was at least a novel ex perience, and perhaps ere long we’ll see ourselves on the silver screen. Mohammedans believe there are ten animals in heaven and some peo ple will think all ten are hound dogs. AMERICUS FISH FISH & OYSTER CO Always Fresh Fish Phone 778 WANTED !
