Thursday Morning, July 24, 1919. The Ellis health law would seem to be a good thing, and a j number of counties are adopting it. In connection with the health j law, vital statistics should be kept in every county in the state. Emanuel county has already put a number of candidates in the field. Evidently they believe in the policy of the early bird. This is a good idea a bird cannot tell what time a worm will be found in the open. Hon. Dudley M. Hughes, for mer congressman of the Twelfth district, is prominently spoken of as a candidate for the governor ship from South Georgia. He would make the state a most creditable executive, ripe in ex perience and of unquestioned abil ity. Mr. Wilson pronounces the treaty a world settlement. As such, it should be immediately ratified. The world never stood more in need of permanent settle ment of its affairs than at pres ent. The world clamors for rest and mankind longs for perma nent peace. It may be unfortunate that the capital removal question arose, but it will still be more unfortu nate if it is not settled. It is quite probable that the fight will cost the state as much as a new building. Better let the people settle it right now, for only the voice of the people can adjust the controversy. These guardians of human lib erty who bewail the fate of the liquor maker and the rum sucker may also extend their sympathies to Kaiser Bill and his gang of murderers and plunderers. This class of wretches has ever been enemies of the human race some in one form and some in another, but about on a par, as far as results are concerned. May be impossible to convince Borne men that the world is round, but all of the skeptics are now aware of the presence of the boll weevil. The result of his activities will be more evident when weighing time comes. Gentlemen of the plow, you car live on food not suited to the appetite of the weevil—home-f made biscuits and home-raised bacon, for instance. Georgia is destined to become a great stock-raising state, and the authorities of most counties are co-operating with the Federal department in the enforcement of the anti-tick laws. The most flagrant cases of opposition have been arising in Lowndes county for several years. One of the leaders in the opposition has re cently been placed behind the bars, as an example for the evil doer. One of the foremost coun ties in the state, Lowndes cannot atford to be held up as an exam ple of rebellion to law and meas ures enacted for the good of the farmer and stock raiser. The people of Tattnall countv have recently found it necessary to assemble in massmeeting to convince the county commission- j ers of that county of their ap-j proval of the farm bureau and demonstration work, which, ac cording to the expression of the people, was ordered continued. Just because Tattnall county’s territory has been reduced to a mere nothing is no reason why the remaining progressive people in that section should be deprived of such advantages as they and all other wide-awake counties are entitled to. Every county capable of maintaining county gavernment should have an es- i ficient county demonstrator, with out which that county’s agrieul-l; tural interests are sure to lag. ■; < TVVVTTVTYYVfffVfVTTVTm? • ► Georgia State t Press Expressions. It is certainly pitiful to read the very weak arguments that are being put up by the Atlanta committee against the submission of the capital removal question to a vote of the people. We say let the people vote on the matter so that it can be settled. If it is not settled it is going to be an issue for years and it will certain ly cause more dissension like it is than it will cause if it is allowed to be voted on. —Springfield Herald. Sentiment in favor of investing money in good roads is growing stronger in Monroe county. The people are paying taxes in the form of lost time and wear and tear of vehicles of travel and they will soon demand that this money be spent for permanent improvement of the roads. When the country people get behind such a movement the politicians will follow suit. Forsyth Adver tiser. The federal trade commission expresses the opinion that if nothing is done about it the five meat-packing concerns will soon control the world’s food supply. The federal trade commission has been in existence now for several years. Why nothing else but talk lias been done to curb the monopoly is something that the 1 mg-sufFering public cannot un derstand. - Lyons Progress. The Weather Bureau ought to he abolished if it can't furnish any better weather than it has thus far in 1919. And they keep sending the Georgian bulletins that don’t get published telling what weather we had the past week, when everybody knows it rained pitchforks. And when it isn’t raining it’s making up for one. Southeast Georgian. The Advertiser donates qo pub licity to private enterprise —if it knows it. Several lettersenclos ing propaganda from a Michigan firm have been received during ho past week, the very evident object of which is to advertise .in Eastern firm which happens to he in the public view. Infor (mation of this character, while perhaps interesting to our read ers. possesses too much the color of self-interest for production in our columns. —Metter Advertiser. There seems to be a sweeping sentiment for Charlie Edwards to represent the First District in Congress again. Evidently, there is a material deterioration in the representation of our District since Mr. Edwards retired as one voter expressed it, “Charlie is alive and on the job.’’ The First Congressional District of Georgia is one of the most important Districts in the state and should have in Congress at all times, a I man who is alive, capable and willing.— Claxton Enterprise. The Carroll Free Press takes a most reasonable view of the capi- i tol removal question, and ex-1 presses it most clearly. We agree that very few people out side of Macon and Atlanta are worrying about it at all, and At lanta seems to be more excited over it than Macon. The capitol certainly does lielong to the peo | pie of Georgia and they should be able to move it or leave it as they . like, and at this time we think they prefer leaving it in Atlanta. , Marietta Journal. We do not believe in denomina tional prejudice, never did. but we certainly see and hear lots of it every day. A good many members of one denomination do not believe that other people are quite as good as they are. if they happen to belong to a different church. A person who takes . this view is just as void of reli- Igion as a billy goat is of brain.— 1 is wains boro Forest-Blade. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR —THPRSPAY, JULY 24, 1919. Cit ation.
