Thursday Morning, July 19, 1917. CONGRESSMAN HOWARD CRITICISES PETITIONERS Makes Eloquent Appeal To Constituents To Stand By Wilson. Having been appealed to by a few of his constituents to work for the repeal of the army draft law, Congressman Wm. Schley Howard comes out strongly for the people to stand by Woodrow Wilson in this great crisis, and makes a most eloquent appeal to the people to stand by the law and Woodrow Wilson. Among many other good and patriotic things, Mr. Howard said: “While we are on the subject of constitutional rights, freedom of thought and expression, and personal liberty, may I at this most critical period in our history inquire if the enjoyment of all the blessings so generously af forded by this nation does not im pose some constitutional obliga tion to support the country m time of war? Is it possible that we have reached the point in our national life that what a man does or does not do must he wholly voluntary or that nothing must be done by the federal gov ernment to compel any of its citizens to discharge a solemn ob ligation to the nation? If that be the trend of mind governing the action of any considerable number of the people of this na tion then we might as well get our necks in position for the Prussian yoke. “My fellow Georgians, for the sake of the blessed liberty that we have so long enjoyed, let us get together! For heaven’s sake think for yourself and your pos terity. This is no time to play politics. This is no time to ap plaud the enemies of your great President! This is no time to at tempt to sustain this or that po sition taken by your political favorite in public life! “This time is upon us for whole-hearted action. We will have sacrifices—great sacrifices, precious sacrifices, to make. We must travel the road to Calvary together. We are at war with a powerful autocracy. Their sub marine warfare is at the very zenith of its destructiveness. We sire not lighting for England, France, Belgium or Italy. We are lighting for the vindication of outrages deliberately perpe trated upon American rights. * * * “If there be any among the people of Georgia who do not be lieve there is an equal responsi bility resting upon all institutions and defend the liberties of our people, then these words are fu tile so far as they are concerned, and the free air liberty they breathe as American citizens ought to stifle them. “There always have been, and 1 always will be, a lot of feather-! legged, cowadly, unpatriotic ami 1 selfish men in this world who' hope to distract attention from their own contemptable conduct toward their country by subject ing to vile criticism those in au- i thority and who are responsble j for the legislation necessary to meet a great emergency. “There is another group of men that shout and yell when the flag is unfurled in the neighbor hood. They are loud in their de nunciation of those in authority for ignoring insults to the flag, but when the real test comes, and we declare war against an arro gant and autocratic nation in the name of American rights and liberties, they bellow like “llas han’s Bull” when the nation seeks to tax their wealth or se cure their services to avenge the wrongs perpetrated. They im mediately crawl into their cow ardly hides and advise that it is best to “hang our clothes on a hickory limb, but don’t go near the water.” »YY??YYmmmTYmfm» ► K (Georgia State ► < t Press Expressions. J llliilAiiUliiAtlliliilii It is openly charged in congress that the Council of National De fense is letting contracts for sup plies to its own members at ex orbitant prices.

We suppose that suggestions are not in order as to the manner of conducting this great war, but it seems that we might fight the devil with fire, and make a few air raids on our own hook. Lee County Journal. Boys and girls of Jasper coun ty, if you have a few dollars to spare you could not invest them better than to go to Athens and attend the short course now in progress at the State College of Agriculture. To be a good can ner, housewife, farmer or hog and cattle raiser these days is a distinction worthy of possession. Monticello News. Once in a while the autoist whose car bowls over a pedestrian stops to ascertain the damage done and render first aid; but it so rarely is the case that when it does happen the astonished po lice hardly know how to act. — Atlanta Constitution. The man who is not hacking President Wilson and America in this perilous hour, must endorse the murderous policy of Germany as relates to American women and babies. That’s all. —Adel News. No farmer can afford to raise cotton at even 25 cents a pound with which to buy meat at 30 cents a pound; flour at $15.00 a barrel and corn at $2.25 a bushel. At the present price of commodities, cotton is the cheapest thing on the market. LaGrange Grapic. One of the best measures to come before the legislature at this time is a state wide county local tax for schools: for one of the paramount needs of Georgia is schools of high merit, properly financed for all people. —Walker Co. Messenger. Its interesting to know just how willing the average poli tician is to do something for his friends. He will make you be lieve he is staying awake day and night to get you appointed. Their line of “bull” is amusing to a fel low who is on. —Millen News. Yea, verily, we are heartily and enthusiastically in favor of food and coal control, shoe con- I trol and suit control, hat control and shirt control—in short, we want to see speculators in neces sities placed in the chaingang and the booster of pai>er prices hang ed.—Walton Tribune. A Georgia paper says this State stands seventh in hog production. Surely must not have counted those on the trains returning from Tybee.—Metter Advertiser. We may go wrong in our pa triotism and admiration the coun try's greatest president, Wood row Wilson, but there are two things we realize fully, that we are keeping mighty good com pany and casting our lot with the majority.
