AN OFFICER FOR
EVERY 10 PEOPLE
IN UNITED STATES
Some may think that Senator
Borah is a radical, an alarmist, an
extremist, and he may be, but rec
ently in a speech in Congress com
paring the past thirty years with
his views on the next thirty years,
he said some things that are strik
ing at least and are worthy of
some serious consideration.
“I would like, in all candor, to
ask you to look back over the last
30 years—brief, fleeting years—a
fugitive shadow upon the dial when
considered as a mere matter of
time, but a century when measur
ed by their effect upon our govern
ment. The bureaus built up, the
offices created, the constant mount
ing of lax burden, the spread and
waste of prodigality; let us review
this record with ca; nd reflec
tion. Then, assuming that this
fateful tendency is to continue, and
there is every evidence that it >s
to continue, protrude yourselves
into the future for thirty years.
“There will bo an officer for ev
ery ten people in the Republic.
Every conceivable activii if mind
and body will be under the direc
tion and surveitlanc ■ bureau.
Spies and inspectors, guides and
counsellors will leer upon the citi
xen from every street and corner
and will accompany him hourly in
his daily avocation. 'Faxes will be
a hundred dollars per capita. For
ty percent of the national income
will be demanded for public ex
panses. We will still have a Re
public in name but a bureaucracy
in fact—the most, wasteful, the
most extravagant, the most demor
alizing and deadly form of (fcivern
ment Which God in his- inscrutable
wisdom has over permitted to bbr
ture the human family. This is no;
the picture of a disturbed imagi
nation; it is the remorseless logic
of the present drift of things.”
This sort of government is show
ing its head in all our life—the
church, school, society and state.
What is the. solution, and how
change it, we would ask Satiate*
derail ?
THE COUNTY
AFFAIRS
The actions of a grand jury are
always of interest to the people of
the county. This body’s duty is to
go into the affairs of the county
and report in the presentments
what they can find and just what
condition the county is in.
This investigating body of rep
resentative citizens of the county
in their recommendations have
great power and influence in the
opei iit.on of a county’s business.
The grand jury serves as a cor
rective of evil tendencies.
The August grand jury did splen
did work and with a singular rap
idity.
* In the presentments published in
last week’s issue is shown the
state of affairs of the county, and
in thei* investigation of'tho work
3TitCe*3herifT« against crime, and
particularly that phase Os crime '
difocfly'traedfl to the vriusky tra’f-
T* ' *
sic, they passed a worthy compli
mjk«st‘.iuuHKfged -as representative
tltizens interested in their county’s
moral welfare, the full and active
co-operation of all-the people of
the county.
Warning the parents against
letting their 'children under 16
drive autos, and other .infractions
of the automobile laws, together
with their distinct disapproval of
Sabbath breaking, arc high spots
that should elicit the hearty ap
proval and support of the people
in all sections.
If you have not read the present
ments in last week’s issue, get up
your copy and read them; they
will give you a brief view of your
county’s condition which will be of
help to you.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT
“Our community used to bo al
ways disturbed with the liquor
drinking crowd, but now I know
of only one old man who takes his
toddy, and he is ashamed for it to
be smelled on his breath,” said a
citizen in Walker county the other
day. “What’s the reason for the
change?” we ventured. “The sen
timent of the good people are out
spoken against it,” said he.
Public opinion is the greatest
solver of wrongs. When sentiment
gets against the liquor traffic in
earnest, whisky is a dead issue.
And that sentiment is growing
in Walker county every day.
That kind of sentiment will soon
restore the dignity and majesty of
the law and Court and is the
greatest force in eliminating crime.
Put sentiment on crime’s trail
ami crime will flee away.
The constitutional amendment
to crente Teach county is with us
ugain for ratification or rejection
Nov. 4th. She was rejected two
years ago, and here’s hoping she
meets the same fate Nov. 4th. Too
many counties in Georgia now.
Texas has only a little over 200,
while Georgia has 160. Compare
the two states in size.
The truck farmer, the dairy
farmer, the fruit farmer is the
farmer who is making money. Tho
other kind of farmers can make
money too if they will work like
these first named arc requirod to
work.
Tho three-day chautauqua com
ing, next week should be largely
attended. Bill Bryan thinks it is
one of the beet programs of a So
cial and educational way that com
munities can book.
