“Re-organization Bill”
Undesirable.
We believe the time has come for the Roosevelt
ministration to begin to help the business men of the coun
try and give them an opportunity to work out their own
salvation. As it stands today business men just do not
know which way to turn.
The administration has left them very little desire to
really operate their business to capacity and the “Re
organization Bill” now pending in Congress is very un
desirable at this time. We are against the Reorganization
Bill and all other reforms that tend to destroy confidence
in the American form of government.
Business is sick and tired of any further experiments
or interference at this time. Business needs assurance
from the a/1 ministration that will encourage capital spend
ing and tonsumer buying. As soon as this assurance is
given t/iem they will again place their factories and other
parts'of their business in full operation.
To encourage business to the point where it will once
m/n-e begin to produce is the only way to relieve the pres
ent situation. If business were given the assurance that
'it may proceed on its way without any more danger of ex
cess profit taxes and other hindrances it would be like
giving the green light to traffic.
Mills and factories would at once begin full opera
tion. This would place money in the hands of the workers
and the consumers would begin to buy. After all the pow
er of the consumer to buy is what makes business condi
tions. When the mills and factories are working business
is good and conditions likewise.
We trust our senators and congressmen will* vote
against thi.Mll. We regret that Senator Russell has
fit to state in the daily papers he has made up his mind
how he is going to vote on this question and he does not
need any more advice regarding how he is to vote. We
would think any public official would like to get the opin
ion of his constituents on anv question whch comes before
Congress. After all he is their representative there and
should be governed by their wishes. No office holder can
.
afford to disregard the wishes of those who elected WmTo
office, for any length ol time. The people gi\e and the
people reserve the right to take away.
Out of the entire Senate only eight senatoi's have not
signified how they will vote on this question and Senator
Russell is one of these. We trust he will vote against this
bill hnd thereby heed the wishes and promote the welfare
Of the majority J of his supporters.
Travis for Judge of
State Supreme Court.
General Robert J. Travis, of Savannah, the brother
Of Dr. aW. D. Travis of this city, is being prominently -
mentioned for the Georgia Supreme Court position which
Judge John B. Hutchison is now filling. Judge Hutchison
has announced he will not be a candidate for re-election
and General Travis is being urged to run for the position
vacated.
General Travis is a Past Master of the Grand Lodge
of Georgia, F. – A. M. and is a General in the National
Guards. He is a prominent attorney of Savannah, where
the firm of Travis – Travis is well known in the legal fra
ternitv. He and his brother compose the firm.
W. believe Geneval Travis would fill the position rf.
ficiently and creditably. He will be very much in the
running if he should announce for the position and we be
lieve he would stand a very good chance of being chosen.
Let’* Build Homes
In Covington.
In , the ,, Spiing _ , fancy . ,. lightli ... tuins to ,
a j-oung mans
love, but the fancy of those not SO young turn to home.
Evert’ person has a desire to own their own home. As th*
birds begin to build their nest in the Springtime so do hu- ! !
mans begin to build for their future homes.
Right at this time when it is so easy to borrow money !
to build is the time to make that dream a realization.
Every encouragement should be provided for those who
desire to build. New streets should be opened up to pave 1
the way for new subdivisions.
Covington needs homes and one or two new subdi
visions should be opened so these homes will be built
Money is more plentiful for building homes than for any
Other cause right at this time. The Building – Loan As
sociations and hanks have their loans underwritten bv the
National government and long-term loans are now avail
able.
So, let’s all get together and promote a building boom

of the dagger with which they
meant to pierce his heart.
In the ceremonial washing of the
hards. the hands had to be washed
by an elaborate process involving
many precise ways of holding them
and pouring water on them and
lettirLg drain and dn P off thp m
which had to be carefully and rigid
ly observed. There were twenty-six
rules for this rite in the morning
alone, and to violate or neglect any
one of them was declared to be a
sin as bad as adulterv or murder,
and worthy of death! To such ob-:
surb lengths had the Pharisees car-!
ried their theology, and other re
ligious men have followed in their
way and exalted their own teachings
and ceremonies into authority that
usurped the authority of God him
self.
It is easy to see what woud be
come of the spirit of rpiigion when
caught in such a system; it would
be cDistricted to death; the husk
would strangle the corn The outer
material form gradually buried and |
smothered the inner spiritual reaii

History has repeated itseif at this
point again and again. While Chns- ;

It raised the whole question of the
leiatro nof his spiritual teaching

yrannical teaching of the Pharisees
It was a critical moment with
him: he stood facing a temptation
as perilous as that which assailed
him in the wilderness. He must
either yield to these Pharisees ana
^reby surrender his own authority
and against them « and f and meet up all conse

His kingdom was at stake, but
no indecision sicklied his thought
