Thursday Morning, January 20, 1921. An exchange says a blockhead might easily be level headed. How do you make it square up the block or block up t the level? See where Harding is to give up active editorial work. Should not allow a little matter like the presidency to interfere with one’s profession. 0 News concerning Kaiser Bill, refugee on Dutch soil, attract little attention of late years. His days of causing world alarm are over. A little soil over his bones would not be harmful, as far as the sentiment of the world at large is concerned. “Buy Now” sounds very well to the guy with the wherewith. Many of us are like the old lady who was told by the minister of a time when weeping and gnash ing of teeth would prevail, and who replied: "Let them gnash as has ’em; I hasn’t any.” Well, the new year started off with the usual rush, at least as fast as time flies, so let us keep time to the music and march on to some kind of glorious success— whatever it is. Even if it is nothing but picking up chips, let us strive to get our basket full before the other and less indus trious laborer does. N uhing like coming out on tup, even in small matters. McAdoo says he is not to be associated with the Ford Motor Co., as was reported. Cannot crank up William G. until 1924. This flivver connection may not be oad, as Me. Mi \doo is recog nized as one of l In' most capable engineers in the United Slates. McAdoo ran a tunnel un r the Hudson river, but IK nry Ford has built millions of lit! 1 contrap tions that run all over the world. The Monitor thinks there may be oil in Montgomery county. Quite so, quite so, in the lamp of every farm house that hasn’t a system of electric lights. Savannah Press. Brother Bill, you should not Bits an embryonic industry. Give it time to assume a tangible status. We may yet have a gush er like unto that out from Savan nah a few miles. I One of the subjects to be treat ed by the next general assembly of Georgia is that of high-heeled shoes for women. The Georgia assembly did not ratify the sutf rage amendment when it was be fore the state assemblies, and it is possible that high pegs for feminine support will be given a little jolt this summer. But, after all, this proposition has a silly air to it. If the women want to walk on stilts, they will j naturally say that the state as sembly has no right to object to any form of locomotion; and on they’ll go. — The school authorities in Al bany, N. Y., did exactly right in dismissing a public school teach er who had been instructing her pupils in communism, Bolshevism | and what not. There is no place! in America, especially in the public schools, for this cancerous doctrine. This country will do well to observe its own laws and exalted precepts handed down by the fathers, without the adop tion of foreign isms and schisms. After America, through her army, saved the world from Ger- 1 man dominion, these wretches who are allowed to overrun our j fair land are seeking to convert] it to the devil. Citation.
