Last Friday Uncle Sain knocked ai the doors of more than a million homes in America and announced that within the next few days or weeks he wculd take from each, except for cer tain good reasons prevailing, one or more young men for service "some where in France." It was a shock —a somewhat sudden awakening, with a s.ckening sense of an awful war pre vailing. Ere long he will go along that same wy again, touch on the shoulder of 687,000 or some similar number of men. and direct them to "follow me." We have no fear that there will be faltering spirits among these young Americans. They have contemplated it for months, have gone about their business and in the meantime deter mined that should they be called to the colors they would answer that call in the same manner that their forefathers did in the revolutionary period, in the war of 1812, in the Mex ican war, the Civil war and as did their older brothers in the Spanish American war.

We are accustomed to look for sorrow In the homes of the | l poor and for Joy and gladness in the houses of the rich. But America has called men to this war from every walk of life from every section, from every state and from every precinct, i Look over the list of the brave men , of Bartow and witness what equal dis tribution there has been in the recog nition of the principle of universal service. All mothers stand on an equal footing today because the boys are i: 11 brothers. r There is much that can he biid in comfort for these mothers. Much will cotne to them without suggestion. The outstanding fact is that these men have gone forth in response to duty to live or die fighting for their coun try's rights, the rights of man and for a happier existence for those who are to follow us in life. Should these men I come back to their homes, a grateful people will render unto them all praise i and glory and will gladly reward and honor them throughout their lives. Should they die it will be through the performance of duty, at their posts, in defense of their country and how much more can any man do, even though he live a thousand years. There is much for the rest of us to do. Chief among these things is an unbegrudging sacrifice of whatever in money the government calls for an un stinted support of the Red Cross so ciety. Let it not be said of America that it proved to be willing to ha\e the blood of its young men shed upon the battlefield but miserly and selfish in furnishing comfort and medical ser vice for those toward whom we pro fess great love.

We promise a whole sotiled performance of our part in support of the government and in the aid we will give the ministering angels of mercy who will labor to re lieve the suffering wounded, to fur nish food and comfort to our brave young men on the battle lines and to find a way to get messages passed be tween the loved ones who will be sep arated during the period of this con flict, under the banner of the Red Cross—beautiful emblem of sacrifice, of mercy, of love. The Health of the County. Among the recommendations made by the present grand jury, as appears in the presentments filed, was one of at exceedingly important nature wherein it was recommended that a health commissioner for the county be api>ointed to put in full force the pres ent health laws of the state, part of which is that known as the Ellis Health Law. This is a recommendation which Dr. Hcvyard E. Felton has been seeking to get from the grand jury for some time. Dr. Felton Is the chairman of {he Board of Health of Bartow county and has seen the importance of an organized work in the county. This can only be secured through the ap pointment of a health commissioner who would work under the direction and supervision of the county Board of Health. No work is more important nor no governmental function more to he seously considered than that of conserving the health of county, mu nicipality, state or nation, and the health laws of Georgia, if enforced under proper direction, would without doubt save many lives and save the tax payers a large amount of money in the eradication of preventablh dis ease and epidemics. Under the direction of the county commissioner there would he main tained a crusade against all preveut- Commencing Sunday, July 29th, at 3 p. m.

It: would also establish a system of vital j j statistics, a registration of births and j deaths, a thorough and complete re-1 port of all communicable diseases. A j part of the duties or the health com- j missioner and of the boat'd is educa- , tional in its nature and in many coun ties lectures ate given in schools and j in each community and health litera ture is freely distributed. It would undertake supervision of 1 all sanitary improvements in towns i and rural districts and supervise the i conduct of dairies and home premises, 1 buildings, etc. It would mean a scien * title and organized eradication of ty phoid fever, malaria, tuberculosis., small pox, diptheria and similar dis eases, and the people would he taught themselves how to eradicate and thor oughly destroy all Hies and mosqui toes and similar germ-carrying pests. A perfect system of medical inspec tion of schools, such as is conducted in all progressive cities and counties, would tie devised and maintained, and every child in the public schools would i be caused to be separately and care ' fully examined, at least once a year in every school, to ascertain if he is suffering from defective sight and hearing or from any other disability or defect tending to prevent his re ceiving the full benefit of his school work or that which cause an under minin'.’- of his future health. * ; In short, the creation and establish ment of this office would go far to ward conserving many lives, toward ! reducing to a minimum the existence !of all forms of disease and toward ; building up young manhood and young womanhood to the full vigor of health, which is the basis of all happiness. If the succeeding grand jury should make a similar recommendation, then 1 a health commissioner would bb plac ed in this county and all the vast ben efits of the healtti laws of the state, * * o % ikm *k*.m .-ik_ . -~; CHAS. 1).

Exempt Endowment Funds. There is pending before the legisla ture at this session a bill to submit a constitutional amendment exempting college endowments from taxation. This subject lias been up through the past two or three legislatures and we have been at a loss to understand why this question has not been allow ed to go to the people for settlement. Georgia is the only state in the south, outside of Florida, which does not ex empt such property. Thb result is that our educational advantages are ser iously crippled in their progress, and. if we understand the temper of the people, it is that all forms of education be given every encouragement, and especially do we look for that from the governmental authorities them selves. It seems poor policy to us to under take to collect a reveune from a species of property which is employed in the making and equipping of men and women. Sufficiently equipped, our men and women will yield to the state, j through the benefits of education re ! celved, more in return than all the revenue that could be collected from such funds. It seems contrary to good policy to tax educational institutions. The purpose of the pending act is to have the people themselves decide it, and certainly it would be wrong for ! the legislature to withhold from the people the right to decide that ques tion which the people themselves have already decided in nearly all the states of the union favorable to the exemp tion. It is only sought to exept from taxa tion the endowment funds themselves; in other words, the contributions giv ■■■HP’ >S%A ; BS- . - x. ■ - . ' . • ■'• .
