Joseph M. Brown
The State Is At Peace And The
People At Work
Hon. Joseph M. Br,,wn is again
governor of Georgia. He was in¬
augurated at noon yesterday. The
whole ceremony, barring the in¬
augural address, took less than
ten minutes.
The brief but weighty oath was
administered by Chief Justice W.
II. Fish of the supreme court.
The great seal was brought in by
Secretary of State Phi! Cook, who
handed it to Governor Slaton, who
handed it to Governor Brown, who
received it and then turned it over
again to the secretary of state for
safe keeping.
“That people is best governed
which is least governed,” quoted
Governor Brown in his inaugural
ad lr* ss

ly that those charged with the ex¬
ecution of the laws in this state,
as in others, have too often per¬

the laws which the people
shall be enforced, hence the
need of the present day is a
of inflexible justice.
“Therefore I sound the note of
warning to you of the general as¬
sembly that you so legislate that
the laws of Georgia be not the
shield of fraud; to you of the judi¬
ciary, that the right be so clearly
defined that there be no excuse for
wrong.
“For myself I promise that the
pardoning power shall not be u-ed I
to defeat the laws, and that
ever functions of the executive of-
flee I perform it shall be with an
U y e single to the impartial and
complete protection of persons and
property which our constitution
says is the paramount duty of
government.

Community Organization Is
Invincible
Andrew Carnegie knows sonic-
thing about business and the.
ci pies upon which business
depends. The great cry about the
domination of corporations has
Minded some people to the fact
that some forms of organization
are more powerful and efficient
than the corporation. Mr. Carne-
gie organized his business as a
partnership and he has laughing-
lj said that he made all of his
partners millionaires.
In speaking of business compe¬
tition Mr. Carnegie said, “1 don't
b e 1 ' e v e any corporation can
manage a .business like a partner¬
ship. When we were partners I
felt that we could run around
corporations. You take thirty-five
young men interested in watching
a leak in a spigot and no corpora-
tion can compete with such an or
gauization in any business.”
Organization that develops in-
stead of stifling individual initia
tive is the kind that is
If all the people of this community
organize atld unite to build it up
no influence can withstand their
power. If all the merchants of

this town “watch the spigot” no
mail order corporation “can com-
pete with such an organization
as this in any business/’
liny ing by mail is an unnatural
and lu uuisittI:> facto ry method of
buying. It violates substantially
all i.he laws of commerce. Just
why so many people do it is the
one thing the merchants of this
town want to know. If the fault
Res in themselves or in their rneth-
otls they should be as quick to
the fault and reform
methods as if the blame were else-
where. A little, self examination
may throw some light on the sub¬
ject.
The mail order house’s chief
claim is low prices; the mail order
buyer makes t! e same claim. Are
they right? .Some, perhaps all, of
our merchants will say, quality
considered, they give better value
