Thursday Morning, July 26, 1917. Scarcity of editorial comment! in this column is caused by the ab-j sence of the editor, who has been j off for two weeks. Is it Fair? Our state encourages education by appropriating thousands of; dollars annually to pay teachers, j Is if fair to discourage Christian education by taxing the endow ments of the colleges of the church, when they are doing as good grade of work as the state schools? So far as we know the state 1 has failed to provide for the higher education of her women. Normal and Industrial schools for’ women are amply provided, but not a single “A grade" college! has been established for women by the State of Georgia. Is it fair for the state to levy a burdensome tax upon the institu tions provided by the Baptists, Presbyterians and Methodists, for the purpose of doing a work not done by the state? A good majority in both Houses favor allowing the people of Georgia to vote on this question. Is it fair for a minority to pre vent the passage of a bill that proposes simply to allow the tax paying voters of the state to say whether or not the denomination al colleges shall be taxed? —Dub- lin Courier-Herald. Honor the Drafted Man. The highest honor that can be conferred upon a citizen is to be chosen to defend his country. This truth has been obscured by our use of the volunteer sys tem parallel with the compulsory system. A comparison is in evitable between the men who voluntarily have made the great sacrifice and those who have waited to be designated to serve under the new law'. This is one of the evil effects of the volun teer system as we employ it. When we have established the system of universal service we shall have no comparisons. All who are called to service will enter on the same terms. But now we have the volunteer and the drafted man. Let us not do injustice to the latter be cause of the former. We all honor the volunteer. He is of the flower of our nation. But it does not follow that the drafted man is not of the same breed. There are honorable considera tions which have held men back from volunteering. There are duties at home as well as abroad, and the conscientious citizen, knowing that the draft was com ing, could honorably wait for its operation. * We honor the volunteer. Let us honor the drafted man, and let the drafted man honor him self. When he receives the sum mons of the government he is called to the performance of the noblest of all citizen duties. His country has said to him: ‘T need you. 1 place my trust in you. 1 confide to you my honor, my wel fare and the success of a great cause.” The day in whitft a man is drafted, if it cannot be a day of ! rejoicing, at least should be a day! of pride. The new army raised by the) draft will Ih> a body of which any man may be proud to be a j member. It will be made up of picked men. The sentimental opponents of conscription have covered the idea with the dust of fallacies. They have tried to depict the conscript asa reluctant weakling or a pacifist saint drag ged brutally to war. The con script armies of France and Ger many give the lie to that. For throe years of the civil war the armies of the north were filled by the draft and the armies of the south for a longer period. The new national army is the creation of a free people giving effect to their free will through free institutions. It is the crea-1 tion of law, like the army, and to serve in it is citizenship at its highest level. The American conscript soldier is going to fight by the side of, the heroic conscript of France— j republican soldiers both, fighting for democracy. Together they j will write a shining page in the history of freedom.—Chicago j Tribune. i JTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTmfTTTT* Georgia State * ► ◄ t Press Expressions. ◄ • AAAAA AAA AAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA The trouble about the legisla ture is, there are too many men up there w ho have but one idea to make reputations for them selves.- Darien Gazette. Reports from farms in Candler county presage a splendid yield this fall. Indications are that business in all lines will be excel lent, with the farmer in the fore front of importance as a producer and money-maker. When a good crop is not forthcoming in this section it is generally useless to look for one anywhere.—Metter Advertiser. Hon. William.!. Harris is play ing a leading role in the nation’s affairs. He is rendering our country a great service as chair man of the federal trade commi sion. - Commerce Observer. The Sandersville Georgian is pre-eminently correct when it says: ‘‘While rounding up the slakers the man who dodges his honest debts should be corralled. There are many men who are able to meet their obligations but dodge them when they should be paid, and spend their money for gasoline and other things which they could do without.” —Haw- kinsville I )ispatch-News. Senator Tillman states that the north is beginning to understand the race problem. If so, they have not shown a tithe of the pati ence and wisdom w'hich the south has exhibited during the years it has understood it. —Dublin Couri er-Herald. The Dispatch wishes again to urge local farmers to save their oats for seed for the coming sea son. Tne prices will be extremely high and the seed will be scarce. The home raised seed is much bet ter in most cases and will pro duce better results. Wherever there is a satisfactory crop saved from the past season, all of it ought to be saved and prepared for seed. It will pay handsomely at the right time. Cordele Dis patch. Speaking of the discussion over George Creel, styled by the government as a ‘‘journalist,” who censors the war dope and other news for the papers in this country, one who has hadexperi says: ‘‘There is a difference be tween a journalist and a news paperman —the former borrows money. ”—Savannah Press. Although he has crossed the Great Divide, State Senator Mc- Curry, of Hartwell, saved his sec tion from an impending stigma just before he died by denouncing the efforts of Representative Winn, who sought to block a reso i lotion in the General Assembly, to | have that body indorse President Wilson in his war plans and policies. Monticcllo News. Now that national prohibition has been enacted, it is up to the officers of the law to see that it is enforced. If we are going to al low the indiscriminate manufac ture of moonshine liuuor the pro hibition law will be a complete farce. The local officers should co-operate with the Federal au thorities in enforcing the law. Cochran Journal. There are 480 irrigation cor porations operating in California. In Georgia the business of land watering is monopolized com pletely by J. Pluvis, with results very satisfactory. Yet rural home-seekers of the north and east give Georgia a wide berth and migrate to California to fight Nature and pay exorbitant water rentals. Why?—Atlanta Consti- I tution.
