Every child of liberty‘rfubmiUi to the yoke of the law. The boot-legger and the bolshevik are in the same Liberty exists in proportion of wholesome restraint. The only sound view of government is that of law enforcement. If there were fewer bad lawyers there would not bn so uny lynchtngs Ho who would undermine respect for a law Is an en emy of law and of orderly government It Is the duty of faithful officiate to enforce, and the *.*rt of good citizens to obey the law. Those charged with law enforcement must enforce all 00 laws They cannot exercise any right of choice The argument of undue abridgement of personal lib-* erty advanced today has in the past been advanced by weVy champion of lawlessness. To ask or expect laxity of law enforcement is to con tribute to lawlessness and destroy the basis upon which #our security rests. If our civilization ever yields to the false doctrine of personal liberty. It will go the way of the nations long since passed into history.

The Immortality of Labor. An Editorial by Hiram Smith. There can be no recovery from the pres ent financial depression in this country until we change our way of living and our ideas about labor. We have slumped into ways of wasteful indolence until it is hard for us to get back to the old habit of hard work and saving. We are soft, flabby, curve-spined, overfed babies, ready to cry because our sugar plum has been taken away. No power in the world can defeat this nation but sloth, mental and physical. But inaction, plain laziness, and the despair and loss of courage that grow out of having nothing to do, will destroy where all other sinister influences have failed. We must make up our minds to go to work now. Get the best price you can, but go to work somewhere, for some price. If you are a farmer consider the things that need doing on your farm. Get at them. Terrace, clean up, drain. Soil erosion and festering swamps are ruining the farms. And inaction with its consequent loss of courage is poisoning the hearts of our people. Hard work is the solution of our troubles. When we work our health is better, our minds clearer, we are happier in every way. Aim less worry does no good. Only one man is happy, and he i the man who works hard and believes in the nobility of labor. Blunted fin gers, the bent frame, the sun-burned face, should not be regarded as evidences of misfor tune. Better a thousand times a plain, rough countryman, heart-free and content, than a sleek, well-groomed never-do-well of the city in sleepless worry trying to live by his wits. Up and at your job. Fight it out. Nature rewards the fighters, the men of faith. Get the right idea of hard work, it is the one sure remedy for your ills and mine.

The quoted exhibit below, in the form of a half-page advertisement, signed by a great many of the leading Arms of Coiumbus, Ga., is clipped from the columns of the Columbus ICnquirer-Sun. It is an unusual sort of ad vertisement— somewhat startling, indeed. It has very greatly interested the Georgian, and we th.nk it will in terest citizens generally. It reads: “To Our Patrons: We tle undersigned merchants and professional men of Columbus, Ga. realize that our system of credit has not kept pace with the progress in other Helds of en deavor, and that our system Is altogether out of date. Whereas our terms of purchase were formerly four and six months, they are now mostly thirty days. The large volume carried on our books and the cost of collections add mater .ally to the cost of doing business Therefore, we, tho following merchants, do hereby no tify the trading publ.c and respectfully ask tlieir co-oper ation to the fo.lowing ends: First: That on and after Feb 1. 1922 all monthly ac counts will be due on the first of the month following pur chase. Second: That we will expect payment of all accounts Nor can he accept the advice of any man—other than Third: That we will insist on payment of all accounts by the twentieth of eachm onth. Fourth: That we will discourage the use of collectors (which is a use ess expense), but will respectful y ask our customers either to mail check or call In person and pay, according to our terms. We realize that the above is a drastic step but our banks are amply able to tak e care of those who may de sire accommodation longer than thirty days. The Georg.an believes that citizens directly concerned with the foregoing promp gation will appreciate the sound sense of it and co-operate to put it into effect. At first blush, it may sound somewhat harsh; but it really is nothing of the k.nd It is common sense and reason. It is fundamentally right, as a business proposition submitted to meet conditions as they exist and not as some of us might like to have them exist It will operate not only the good of the merchants and business men in. volved but surely and certainly to all the citizens in volved. Merchants must pay promptly nowd&ys for their stocks; they can poy only as they collect for what they sell To pay promptly, they must collect promptly And every lagging insolvent account is a drag upon every customer patronizing any business house—and he need never doubt it. Such a plan of prompt settlement as that proposed here will tend, if nslsled upon, greatly to discourage the making of doubtful accounts. There Is no earthly reason why the prompt payers should "carry ’ the laggers —and the bus n ass house that gets overloaded with luggers and insolvent accouirs either goes bankrupt itself In time or does not give to its patro s that h gh quality of aervce and fair dealing they are ent tied to. Therefore, as we say In the beginning, this thing not only Is "go and business ’ for the business houses concerned, but excellent business for the pub ic.

LOOKING AHEAD WITH FORD Henry Ford Is trying to make three dreams come true- Those dreams have been behind ev ery massive business move Ford has made or planned In the last year—even his bid to buy the undeveloped power plant at Muscle Shoals, Ala. And if you watch closely you’ll see these three drearrs behind every Ford enterprise in years to come: ONE—Doing away with the necessity for great cities and getting the people —even Industrial workers—back to the soil. TWO—Hastening the arrival of an era when heat, light and power will be so abundant that “it will be wasteful not to use them ’ —this by Intensive de velopment of water power THREE—RevIs ng our financial sys tem so "money won’t have the power to stop things." Ford told all about his three dreams and how he hopes to make them come true in a recent Interview. "The great cities are doomed.” the auto magnate said He made a gesture as if he were actually sweeping the cities away. ”1 don’t mean they’ll fall Into ruins Immediately. But they’ll go sooner than you think. A few will stay. They’ll be big distributing and assembling points —not congested centers. "The people will go back to the farm and small town. They’re headed that way now. "The city's served a useful purpose. It's taught people how to live in groups and close communities. When they go back to the country they won’t tolerate unpaved streets, badly equipped schools or defective sanitation "The coming small town will have all the advantages of the big and none of its drawbacks. "Then will factory workers commute to nnd from their work?” "Not at all! ' Ford answered "Their work will commute to and from them! They'll complete the work in their vil lage workshop—then it will be sent to one of the big assembling and distrib uting points. "Now f want to hear some one say it can’t bo done— " Because I’ve already done it! “I’m experimenting in several small Michigan towns. Not thirty miles from Detroit I’ve established a small shop run by water power in an old mill. Work Is sent down th(jre, finished and brought back. "The workmen live under semi-rural conditions. They have gardens. They may keep chickens and cows, if they wish "Entertainmnt? The social life of the small town will adjust itself all r ght. People will get up their own shows and develop their own entertain ment. There'll be fewer spectators and more actors.” Water the Golden Fluid. Ford paused. He’d been talking rapid ly Then— "l spoke of using water power to op. erate the little experimental plants in Michigan,” he went on. "Let me tell you water Is the golden fluid of the future. It will give us our light, our heat, our power. "And we can't exhaust it. As long as, it rains rivers will flow and they’ll supply' power ceaselessly. “When water power possibilities really are developed, the supply of heat, light and power will be so great It wl’.l be wasteful not to use all you can. "And It will cost little. A river charg es noth ng for flowing And it costs but little to make the power and de liver it to be used " Reform of Money System. Then Ford turned to currency reform, the one of his three projects that s had wide publicity. "Money's valueless except to move thinigs,” he said "You can't eat money It’s useful only as a medium—just like this wire ” And Ford seized the wire that dangled from his telephone. "But money doesn’t fulfill its function. When you want to use it, you have to go to a money lender to buy it. "What does ’deflation’ mean? That bankers ar e trying to make the supply of money approximate the supply of gold "Why, to make business run on gold Is like making passenger traffic on a main line depend on facilities of a local branch line with one train a day! "That’s why I believe in issuing cur rency backed by public wealth." Opportunity at Muscle Shoals. Ford paused again. "Now, at Muscle Shoals." he said, "there s a chance to work out all these things “That whole country could be laid out In semi-rura! communities. "And water power possibilities are just waiting to be developed. The Ten. nessee river is second in possibilities only to Niagara. "That power should be used to man ufacture Southern raw products rigot there, instead of shipp ng them half way across the continent and back again "And Muscle Shoals could furnish the opportunity to show the government how to develop public works witnout paying three times their cost in interest charges But our public officials will have to see the idea c’early first. R ght now every farmer shou and be ei rout-aged to harness whatever water power he may have. If it isn t any mote than a rill Even that will heat ; he fnrn house and run the farm machinery D.agrams and plans for small da vices of that kind are being made now" “HiOKI GOTO IN h ULlliit Mi b” “TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO” FROM COURANT-AMERICAN, ISSUE OF FEBRUARY 11, 1897.
