THE TRIBUNE NEWS Bublishod Weekly at Cartersville. Oa , by THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY (Incorporated) MILTON L. FLEETWOOD -Bros dent and Editor Boost—Put up the hammer, get out your horn. You will feel better if you attend churc h next Sunday. Yes, fair Geraldine, the price of The Trib une-News is $2.00 a year. If you have a borrowed book in your pos session, wouldn’t it be a good plan to return that borrowed book? The Bartow County banks are in a very healthy condition. Read their statements, and see if this is not a patent fact. If nothing else, Atlanta is proving that she can have anew sensation every day, if mur ders and assassinations make for sensations. The Chamber of Commerce is ready to do some big things for this section. Get be hind it with your membership and your pres ence at the Tuesday luncheons. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun prints this one, which we have no hesitancy in endorsing: The Colurnbua (S. C.) Record rises to remark that “Tom Watson is putting himself to a deal of unnecessary trouble to prove what a dam phool he is." The Chamber of Commerce has laid out a. task worthy of that body, when it announces that the securing of the Baptist College, and the "official designation” of the Federal High way through this section as its two main ob jectives for the year’s w’ork. The Farm Bureau is coming right along. It is already strong, and getting stronger ev ery day. If you are a farmer in Bartow coun ty, take a tip: Join the Farm Bureau the first opportunity. It can really serve you as no other agency now in existence can. This grand jury is composed of an unusually high type of citizenry, and Judge Tarver’s charge to that body at the opening of court Monday morning was a gem. Pity* that every citizen in the county could not have been present and heard his lucid directions to this body. The ladies of the Cherokee Club have the coziest club-room of ayy similar organization in the State. Mrs. Bob Maxwell and mem bers of her committee are receiving congratu lations for the transformation they have wrought in the club room since they under took its renovation. A “I read the 50-year-ago column in The Tri bune-News last week, and it brought back memories as clearly as if the incidents had oc curred last year,” said Mr. Thomas Lumpkin. Baihlf Goodson said he never read anything he enjoyed so much as that column. There’s another one on this page. With the re-election of City Manager Abram Cook, City Clerk Thomas A. Upshaw', City Recorder Colquitt Finley and City Attor ney John Henry Wikie, the new city dads are carrying out the wishes of a majority of the citizens of Cartersville, if the result f the re cent city election is any criterion. The friends in Bartow of Hon. Mack L. Johnson are extending best wishes for suc cess in his campaign for a place on the Rail road Commission. He would make a state house officer we would be proud of. His abil ity, integrity and experience are unquestion ed. He will get a solid vote in this, his home county. The Cobb County Times goes back to a weekly, as did the Carrollton Free Press anil the Washington News-Reporter, during the past year. It is our conviction that a semi weekly is not feasible; there is no middle ground between a weekly and a daily; if a community is not large enough to support a daily, then a weekly is the most logical med ium. Better a GOOD weekly, than a make shift semi-weekly, or tri-weekly. Newspa per experts are now about agreed on this one point, Strange, but it Happens. It is a strange thing why a man who gets about eight months behind with his subscrip tion decides suddenly, when asked to “Please remit” that there is nothing in the damn paper i worth reading. This same species of fellow j is usually the fellows, too, who during those eight months for which he owed raised the most sand when his copy failed to get into his box. There should be prepared for editors a special paradise, where they can rest after these fleeting years have fluted.—Exchange. JAIL—NO FINES. HiTwetiT violator* of the Volstead act who may be haled before a federal )ude itv the New York district for t ial may just as well lea v. their money at home, says the At'arita Constitution. It will do them no good, for liberty there has been withdrawn from the market —it cannot be bought In other words, the judgs have quit imposing lines and will substitute jail sentences. < This policy was announced from the bench the other day by United tates District Ju ge Learned Hand, and concurred in unanimously by his fellow jydges of the New York district. According to Judge Hand, from now on all persons pleading guilty to a llrat offense agaist the prohibition law* will be sent to jail for fourteen days; and sentences of oio- month or more in jail will be given first offenders convicted after trial. He dal not stale explicitly, but left the Inference that off nders with previous convictions against their recor s w uld be dealt with more severely. This Is tl>e way and the only possible wav to discour age ihe bootlegger and break up the miserable traffic in , blind tiger whisky that Ih polluting the country and not only trailing a mock ry of a provision of the federal con. siiiulion but to a proportionate extent lowering the gen eral respect for all law. So long as whisky peddlers, if they happen to get caught, can buy their way to sunlight and liberty by the payment of a line that r presents hut a small part of a week's profits, it is as useless to try to stop the (low of liquor as to attempt to sweep back the tide with a kitchen broom. Hut bootleggers and blind tigers and whisky runners dread Jail. Uivt- th rn to understand that if they are caught, and whether tried and found guilty, or plead guiily, they will go to Jail, without the alternative of a fine in either case, they will think a long time before "tak ng a chance’ that under tii lining system, is merely charged on the debit side of their hooks Federal Judge Hand and his New York associates have established a precedent that should be followed by every judge, f derai, state or municipal, in the country. it is folly for peace officers to he expected to control the enme situation which aoefs to be growing worse throughout the country—so long ns tlie judges continue the policy of turning convicted criminals loose upon pay ment of fines. And it is safe to say that the present crime situation is due more to laxity In the enforcement of the pr hibltion laws than to anything else. “THIS, TOO, WILL PASS.” (Bduoe Rnrtin, in "The Red Look Magaz ne." I-list summer, when pessimism was everywhere a well Informed nan told me that the business depression would Hist for several years. Immediately I thanked God and took courage.

It Is a settled trait of human nature to assume that whatever sltuutii n exists at the moment, mus continue to exist for a long tin e. The fadts, of course, are entirely to the contrary.

The most of the Senate Repub licans evidently take the view that the seat belongs to New berry because he bought it and paid for it, for their can be no other reason for their attitude. The price was a bit high, for several hundred thousands have already been accounted for, but just at that time the Senate vas practically a tie, and control in the hands of the big interests was very impor tant. Anew party is being organ ized in Nebraska—or the re vival of an old one —called the Progressive party. The Wall Street Journal doubtless dis covers a danger that it may grow into something that will take from the Republicans a few seats in the Senate, for it has not forgotten the Populists, the Silver Republicans, the Bull Moosers and the Non-artisan League. It is curious what an attraction those parties have for the Northwestern farmers. Probably it is due to their hav ing repeatedly been stung by accepting Republican promises. Certainly the moral is plain— they might vote the Democratic ticket. The Journal devotes the best part of a column to crush ing the new party in its very in ception-—which would be some indication of its possessing both virtue and possibilities. Cordell Hull, the able chair man of the Democratic national committee, recently made a speech in which he devoted tw'o hours to some of the failings aftd shortcomings of the Re publican party. The Washing ton Post promptly took up the cudgels in defense of the ad ministration and took occasion to warn Mr. Hull of the rassing position he would be in “if somebody in the audience should ask for an accounting of the money spent during the war.” Has everyone forgotten that the last Congress consti tuted the Graham “smelling committee” to go into that very thing, for the purpose of dig ging up enough scandals to keep the Democratic party out of power forever? The com mittee spent nearly a year on the job and finally agreed that there was one corporation to ward which the finger of sus picion might well be pointed— the great Pittsburg steel corpo ration, of which Secretary Mel lon is a director! This doesn’t seem to have hurt the gentle secretary greatly with the Ad ministration, for he is still han dling the people’s money and has been of great aid to the big, rich fellows in getting them “unsoaked” in the matter of in come and excess profits taxes, but it suggests that Republican editors might find it less em barrassing at times to be better informed. Mr. Tincher, of Kansas, in the exuberance of his soul cried out in the House for a tariff tax erf 1,000 per cent on impor tations from Germany. Mr. Mann, of Illinois, who tries to keep his feet on the ground, said in reply: “Let there be a few’ more statements on this side of the House that the Re publicans are in favor of a tar iff duty of 1,000 per cent, and there will not be enough Re publicans here to gather to gether in one aisle. I have been here long enough to know.” DEMOCRATIC DOPE.

While we know that the reason that he does not take the Manson papers is that he has d:ad beated both of them out of several years’ subscriptions, we will admit tha the told the truth about all editors be ing liars Fact is we never told the truth about that man. .We always lied about him, but we will not lie about him this t me. When he got married over twenty-five years ago we published in this paper that he was an "hon-st indus trious young man." That was a lie and we knew it. He was a dead-beat before he ever got married and owed for board, room and washing that he did not pay then and has never paid since. He owed for chewing tobacco, c'oih ng and anything he could get trusted for, and has nevr paid the debt. He was not industrious, but was no toriously lazy, a hulking lout and loafer who would not work if he could possibly get out of it, and th.n when forced into work he was a shirk and a sneak, always try. lng to put the heaviest work on his companions. We said he would make a good home for his wife That was a lie. He never owned a home of his own, and dots not own one now, but he has to pay his rent in advance month. We said his wife was a "handsome and accomplished young lady.” This was several lies. She was homelirr than the back end of the buildings that front on Main street in Manson, Iowa; she had no accomplishments ex cept to chew gum and talk sang; she was young but she was not a lady, as sue had a pretty shady reputation- When her father died e told another lie, for we said the old man was a prominent and highly respeetd citizen, when he was a notorious chicken, coal an;i horse feed thief, and every one hated him and would have been glad when he died had it not been for the fact that the county had to bury him. When our hero's daughter got married we said the same nice things about her we said about her mother, and lied again, even worse Yes, it's all true, aii newspa per men. especially country newspaper nun, are liars. — Manson (Iowa) Democrat “FIFTY YEARS AGO” FROM THE CARTERSVILLE STANDARD AND EXPRESS, ISSUE CF JANUARY 11. 1872.

And further, that Maybe Cooper relieves himself clearly and conclusively from all imputation of having, as was supposed, been a party to a fraud upon the state in authorizing, improper ly. the indorsement of these bonds This he positively den es; so that, if any wrong has been attempted to be perpetrated, it was done, not by him. but by Bullock. Kimball and Clews.

All papers we’ccme items of information and articles relating to civil and social activitiEs, and while his paper is always willing to co-operate for a worthy object, it is not out of place, we believe, to ask the co-operation of those furnishing such articles. In this way greater accu racy may be obtained and the public will be better served. If an item is worthy of being reported it should he sent in at once, not two or three days after the event has taken place. If an article is written on a typewriter, always double space. It is easier to edit and much easier for ths lino type man. He has his eyes on manuscript steadily for eight hours a day and it is not brotherly, to say the least, to expect him to impair his eyesight even over a most meritorious story- If. written with a lead pencil use n soft one that will make a good clear mark, and don’t writ,, on both sides of the paper. This latter method generally insures a direct route to the wastepaper basket. These requests are reasonable, for it entails no additional work on the part of the writer. In telephoning an item it is always well to spell opt proper names. There are g.nerally several "ways of spell ing a name and the owner of the name has the r.giit to expect that his seleciion will be the one used in the paper. Pcoper names, by the way, are the hardest to understand over a phone Conversation proe:ds nicely untii the name of some person is used. Then, because of unfamil iarity with that particular name or perhaps the unex pected use of it, the sounds on the phone become decep tive. The receiver of the message is not applying any Edison test if he says. “Spell the name." These are little things, perhaps, but the observance of them helps toward a cheerful day and a better newspa per.—Exciiange.
