The Hardwick Administration.
When tho Oenoral Assembly convened
-on Wednesday of lOBt week It bogan whet
rany prove to bo a memorable session;—
it oortninly will bo if Gov. Hardwick
fulfills tho plodgCB looking to retrench
ment mid reform in the administration
of tho State's affaire which ho made dur
ing his campaign and sinco his election.
Of course, this will bo possible only if
the law-making body is found to bo in
harmony with ids frequently expressed
views regarding tho character of login
lotion which lie will demand at tho hands
of tho nnehmblcd salons. Confronted
with the problem of providing funds
•with which to cover n big deficit in the
Pluto's finances, duo to appropriations
made by tho l.egislaluro in 1DJS) and
1920 in excess of the Slate’s revenues for
those yonrs, tho undertaking which ho
Iihh assumed will not. bo ousy of accom
plishment. Tho deficiency, which must bo
tnkou earn of somehow, nmounts to two
and n half or throe million dollnrn, and
Includes ponBion money duo ono-half of
tho old clnss of pensioners for 1921, be-
sldeB ponsloiiB to tho now elnBS of pen
sionors for 1920 and 1921, nono of whom
linvo boon paid anything. Other of tho
‘Stnto’s obligations nro past, duo and un
pnld, making a total deficit of approx!
niatoly throe million dollars. On top of
this, domptrollor-Gonornl Wright OBti-
inntos that tho Stato's rovonuo for tho
• ourront your will bo n million and a half
dollars loss than Inht yonr, owing to a
big slump in tho tax returns for 1921,
amounting to throo hundred million dol
lars or more. All in all, it dees not
Hoom a vory auspicious boginning for tho
Hnrdwiek administration, and if tho now
■Govornor should auecood in working out
of tho difficulties which nro now harass
ing tho "grand old commonwealth" ho
Svill bo entitled to tnko rank with the
wixnrds of finance who made Wall stroot
famous in days gone by. Wo shall watch
'tho process of liquidation (or will it. bo
repudiation!) with an interest not un-
inlxed with anxiety.
Tho oloetion of Hon, Cecil Nolll, of
Museogoo, to the Speakership. of tho
House was highly gratifying to his
frionds throughout tho State—and they
nro logion. No candidate for tills office
wns over fought more dotormluedly, or in
more sneaking, underhanded ways, and
considering tho olmrnotor and formidable-
ness of the opposition nr rayed against
him, Ids election was more thou a' victo
ry—It wns a triumph. Even Gov. Hard
wick was actively uguinst liipv—tho first,
time within tho memory of tho present
generation that a Govornor of Goorgin
had lowered tho dignity of IiIb offico by
taking a partisan stand in a contest for
this photo, Mr. Nolll'b election was in
offoot a refutation of tho methods em
ployed to defeat him, and it is to tho
everlasting credit of tho majority mem
bership of tho House that they showed
their preference for him ns presiding
■officer of that body.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE STRONGER
RACE.
■Judge Andrew J. Cobb in Christian In
dex.
Wo of tho white rnoo claim superiority
over other races. This claim placos us
whore wo must establish it. If wo are
superior, then there is an obligation to
be fair and just to the inferior. If wo
tire uufair and Unjust to tho inferior,
then we fail to establish our claim of
superiority, not only in the mind of the
inforior, but in tho mind of others who
tiro of our rnoo. Tho wholo machinery of
the government of tho State is in' the
bands of the white man and will so con
tinue. The white man makes the laws—
tho white man exocutos tho laws—the
, members of tho inforior race among 11s
are.at the mercy of tho white man, who
occupies all official stations, law makers,
governor, judges, jurors, sheriffs and
other offices.
Does not this place upon us a serious
responsibility! Is it not sufficient to
awaken a serious sonso of obligation!
Wien unfairness or injustice to the in
ferior rueo occurs, is it not a gravo re
flection upon us!
Wo can bo fair and just in matters re
lating to life, liberty and property with
out recognizing social equality. We nro
fair and just to mombors of our own
race whom we do not recognize as our
social equals. The more intelligent ne
gro in our midst does not desire social
equality. He cannot bo sworved from
Ids viow by propaganda from the out
side. Tho loss intelligent negro is not
thinking about it—cares nothing about
tho matter and has no reflections on the
subject. H1b sole desire iB to live ami
move and have his being.
Tho social intercourse botweon men is
not, nnd cannot be regulated by law. It
is tho roBUlt of tho alioice of the individ
ual. Wo chooso our associates in ac
cordance with our own ideas. Congenial
ity of thought, mutuality of inspiration,
propinquity of resldoneo and the like
solvo tho question of our Boclal relations.
The Constitution of our State declares:
"Tlie social statUB of the citizen shall
novor bo the subjoct of legislation. ’ ’
Tlds provision in our Constitution
made its first appearance in our law in
tho Constitution of 1808—the Constitu
tion of Reconstruction Days. It must
be recalled that it was in this convention
that tho negro in Georgia first appeared
in governmental affairs ns a result of
hia then recently acquired freedom nnd
citizenship. There were a largo number
of negroes in the covention that framed
tho Constitution. The provision took its
place in the fundamental law of the
Stale without objection and without de
bate. Tho nogro of that day recognized
that whatovor might bo his aspirations
in other lines, that ho would have no
aspirations for socinl equality merely
beeaUBO he wns a citizen.
Tho Constitution further declares:
1 ‘ Protection to person and property is
the paramount duty of government, nnd
shall bo impartial and comploto,’’ "No
person shall bo deprived of life, liberty
or property, except by tho process of
law. ’ ’
These declarations are tho expression
of civilization in its aspirations for ideal
government. Government is at its best
when the humblest citizen has a con
sciousness of its protecting power. Gov
ernment is at its worst when the hum
blest citizen has a due apprehension as
to his life, his'liberty or his property.
It is well for tho white man to assert
his superiority. It is far bettor for him
to vindicate Ills right to make the as
sertion. Tho right to make the assertion
can only be vindicated when conditions
are such that the humble, tho woak and
the despised are guaranteed tho right to
livo, to move und own, so long as tlioir
conduct is in accord with tho law of tho
land,'and that tliolr rights Blind never
bo forfeited except by tho duo’ process
of tho laws.
Why should not tho Christian thought
of the State respond'to a sontimont that
tho law-abiding nogro shall bo protected
us to his llfo and llborty nnd uyoportyj
and that the law-violating nogro sh id
bo punished in the manner/proscribed
by law through tho ngoncy of the con
stituted authorities of tho,,State! Can
a superior race, in complete possession
of power, grant anything loss, with rea
son and justice, to tho inferior race that
it has completely under dominion! The
appeal, of tlioso who are Interested in the
welfare of tho negro, is simply an nppeal
for justice, If wo grant this appeal wo
oxalt oursolvoB and all Hint wo represent.
If wo deny this nppeal wo debnso our
selves nnd affix a blot upon our hoisted
institution^ and, ^itnblishod standards
tliut cannot exist undor a Cliristinn civ
ilization.

ODE TO THE BOYS. 1
(By One of the Girls).
A few weeks ago The Trihnne-News
published a bit of verse about girls'
present-day wear. A number of replies
have come in, ampng them tho following.
—-Cartersville Tribune-NeWB.
I read the "ode" the other night,
And thought it wns a sight;
Now this is my reply to you,
And I'll try to make it true:
Wo wear clothes that suit the year—
Wouldn't we look nice to wear
A coat, vest, collar and tie
In the hot month of July!
Girls are more advanced than men—
We change our styles now and then;
But men are content to wear
Just tho Bamo from year to.year;
I think, if the truth were known,
1 believe you men would own
That you like to see ub dressed
In our very latest "best;"
We may not like tho way yon go,
But we’re too polite to tell you so;
Now let me say a word to you,
Then I’ll quit, fot I’ll be through:
Little boy, you look so slight—
Why woar your pants so tight!
And that horrid piaoh-back coat—
That’s the tiling that gets my goat;
In tho summer, when it’s warm,
Wo vory thinly clad our form;
But in the winter, when it snows,
Why, Bure, we wear somo underclothes.
Another Reply.
Married man, you are a fake;
Cut out your chaff, for mercy’s sake;—
Why should you lay so much stresB
On how we poor girlies dress!
If you don’t like what we wear,
Then, old grouch, why do you stare!
If we don’t pleaso you, pray,
Turn your faco the other way;
Wo’ll not molt for one or two
Blear-eyed, rubber-neck things like you;
If, like Mother Evo, wo chanced to roam,
Poor wifey couldn’t keop you at homo.

WHY THEY FAILED.
Telfair Enterprise.
McRno business men should be inter
ested in a report sent out by the Govern
ment showing the per centage of failures
and their causes during 1920. ,Of course,
it forms rather disheartening reading,
thiB story of tho other fellow’s misfor
tune, but it carries, a lesson of value, and
one that deserves careful study.
The high spot in tho report is that of
tho entire number of concerns which fail-
od in the United States in a Bingle year
more than 90 per cent, of them—think
of that—more than 90 per cent, of them
wore establishments that did not adver
tise. If there was ever an argument in
favor of using printers’ ink in a judi
cious way, your Uncle Sam has presented
it through this report.
Wo presume that iti most instances
those unsuccessful concerns did not ad
vertise because they wore content to drag
nlong. Then enme the readjustment pe
riod, and they found tho very tiling
which was putting their competitors over
tho bumps—advertising—had been tho
one thing they had ignored. The mer
chant who UBod printers’ ink got rid of
war-priced stocks at oven money or bet
tor, nnd wore able to stay on their feet:
Tho fellow who had goods that were de
clining in value daily and didn’t have
brains enough to use tho papers to tell
the people that I10 wanted to get from
under, took his place with the 90 per
cent., who aro now sadder but wiser in
tho ways of the business world.
If you want tho best reason in tho
world why you should advertise judi
ciously and sonsibly, Mr. Home Mer
chant, just sit down and think over Un
cle Sam’s figures—that 90 per cent, of
all business failures in 1920 were of con
cerns that didn’t advertise.

If a man comes to you for advice tell
him what lie wants to hear, and lie will
like you; if you tell him what you really
think, he will hate you, and do as he
pleases anyhow.
