“LEAVE WILSON
TO HISTORY”
‘Woodrow Wilson is now a private
citizen. His place in History will be
determined by futuré events. No
president of this country ever had
such a stormy career, and the vast
majority of the people are fully con
vinced that he handled the most of
the issues with a maximum of mis
takes.
Ex-president Wilson was a victim
of too much power. The people of
the United States gave him more
'pbwer than any autocrat in all the
history of the modern world, and it
made him lose his head. He believed
he could tell one crowd the Prohibi
tion law was in force, another crowd
it wasn't. He could tell one delega
tion the war was over—another it
‘wasn't ‘over, and that the American
'fpeople Would stand for it. But they
Wwouldn't. :
‘ln many respects he is a great man
and futare historians will so record it.

ATLANTA, March 7 —Will the!

It appears so; in fact, it may be

The socialistically’ inclined element

Articles appearing in several North
Georgia newspapers set out that a
sentiment is being spread over the
section to move the capitol to prevent
the re-écct_l’rance of attacks on state
officers by an Atlanta element which
happens to be displeased over decis

A GENTLE HINT \
TO THE COPS |
In Georgia the cnforcement of the
law is left largely with the sheriffs of
the various counties, and they are a
kind of law unto themselves. In some
states the Governor can dismiss a
sheriff when he fails or refuses to
enforce the law but not so in Georgia.
Here he can do just about as he
pleases when it comes to enforcing
the laws of the state.
In a neighboring county a sheriff
was said to have remarked that he
had given the boys a few days in
whith to procure their tags. In other
words, this Sheriff was annulling a
plain law of the land, and allowing
automobiles to run after March Ist,
without a tag and license. The Sec
retary ‘of State has requested all sher
iffs to look after this one particular
matter for there can be no excuse for
violating this law,
In towns the size of Fitzgerald we
have learned to look to the police
force to do for us what the sheriffs do
for the state, and we find the same
rule applies in town as in the country.

Unions Look Askance
o
At Industrial Mee
Martin Says Labor Men Should Be
Asked to Macon Conferences
If the Industrial Conference sched-‘
‘uled at Macon March 15th has for its
real purpose the achieving of Indiis
trial Cooperation, representatives of
the laboring classes should be invited
to confer with the representatives of
capital, according to statement today
by W. M. Martin, chairmdn of the
joint federation committee of the
striking Atlanta Birmingham and At
lantic employes.
“No industry can be operated with
out labor and no industry can achieve
the fullest measure of success without
the cooperation of labor,” said Mr.
Martin. “Labor is at all times ready
to treat fairly with capital if capital
will listen with an open mind ‘and
organized labor_is free from thoughts
of violénce or desire to work injury
unless forced to it by our self-styled
masters.”
The industrial conference in Macon
is looked askance by local union men
generally. The invitation to Col. B.
L. Bugg, receiver for the A. B. & A.
to address the meeting has led to a
belief that the purpose of the confer
ence is something different than to
discuss “Industrial Cooperation” in
the accepted sense of the term. ‘
“It would be much to the best in
terests of the owners and operators
of Georgia industries if they would
try to reach a sympathetic under
standing with the men whom they
employ,” said Mr. Martin, “and the
final rise of Georgia to a place of
ndustrial equality with other sections
would be much more rapid and more
