Thursday Morning, January 5, 1§22. Wonder if the little rucus be-! tween Peru and Chile has attract ed the notice of the disarmament conference? First time the edi tor has thought very seriously of Peru since the days when, as a kid, he wrote compositions on the discovery of silver in Peru.' A holiday card'from Savannah represents Editor Bill Sutlive behind the bars. Been expect- j ing this thing for some time, in | view of the strange inquiries about certain delicacies that do j not grow in Savannah. But such specimens do not remain long in 1 captivity, and no doubt Bill’s • holiday greeting to the editors of; Georgia was duly appreciated. Too many self-appointed prog nosticators, and most of the sub jects already worn threadbare— the present financial condition of the country and everybody in it, for instance. It is not a question of what the new year may bring forth, but rather, what will you do to better conditions? Constant labor and less growling will help matters in 1922. Kill the profit eers. muzzle the prophets and settle down to work, and condi tions will settle themselves. I The new Federal income tax blank is said to be simple, and in no manner as cumbersome and complicated as the old form. A country editor has no need of either, but naturally commends Uncle Sam for putting ouf an agreeable form. But speaking of taxation, the Georgia system is a marvel. Under it the poorer classes pay the taxes and the wealthier chip is what they feel like donating to the cause. Right here in Montgomery county, where numbers of men pay on less than twenty »per cent, of what they own, may lip found some of the most glaring exam ples in existence. Last year the General Assembly of Georgia passed a general tax act, in the nature of special taxation, and it is hoped that this year it will be able to revise the ad valorem system, or rather, devise a sys tem to take the place of the pres ent slipshed plan, w hich grows more lax every year. The need for conservatism in thought, word and action, was never more apparent than at present. The entire world is as a seething caldron of unrest, neg lect, shortcomings and over doings. It is out of balance, like gome giant machine in motion with a number of vital parts missing or not functioning. Men, as free moral agencies in general have been perturbed for several years, and this condition is based on the effects of the recent world ; war, destructive and demoraliz- j ing from every standpoint. We believe the church and other agencies for the call of man are standing steadfast, active, con cerned; and yet. with this, the devil and his imps, doubly nnilti plien, are also at work. We be lieve, further, and above all, that God lives and reigns supreme over everything within his crea tion, and yet this lack of some thing better, something material and satisfying to the hearts and consciences of men, a permanent form of peace w hat is it? Noth ing but national, and in fact in ternational, righteousness, will bring peace to the world and a return to normal and progressive conditions. In the days of old. God allowed nations to suffer. ; and today the nations of the world, as a result of indifference to God, are passing through the same scourges as a result of sin, of guilt, of wanton neglect of the better and higher things of life. i Commutation of the sentence of Eugene V. Debs, the socialist leader, serving in the Atlanta Federal Prison, by President Harding is said to have been an act of grace. To a man in prison his release would seem very graceful, by whomsoever givdn.

If any business needs organiza tion to market its goods it is that of the farmer. Conditions at this very time must impress that fact most forcibly.—Southeast Georgian. That robbery of the state school funds a short while ago looks mighty bad to us for somebody ci nnected with our state govern ment. What business has/ an outsider handling state funds? Surely we have sufficient number of statehouse officers to perform all duties of that Ogle thorpe Echo.

Strip the man of his hip-pocket arsenal and give him a chance to cool off. and there won’t be many murders; strip the nations of their navies and armies and have a cooling off period, and there won’t beany wars.—Lyons Prog ress. | s The greatest act one can do during the Christmas season is to make the way a little pleasan ter for those who do not happen to be favored with this world’s goods. If we look about us a little we will find some little children who for one reason and another are not enjoying the glad time. A little thoughtful assistance from us will help some boy or girl to enter into the joys of the holidays.— Adel News.
