“ Pinchot, on the other hand,
like Beveridge, of Indiana, is an
independent ropublican.
“Both Pinchot and Beveridge
were lieutenants of Roosevelt in
the progressive paity, and since
tlie disbanding of tho progressives
as a party, they have been cou-
spiconsly iclcnrified as republicans
of tho Roosevelt school, wholly
out; of sympathy with the reaction
ary policies,of the eoutrolling ele
ment within the republican organ

“Pinchot,’s victory in rock-rib

Pennsylvania, especially since it
came so closely ou the heels of the
down-fall of the administration
candidate iu Indiana, ‘is as, en
couraging and as gratifying to the

MADE-in-Georg'ia is the earnest
slogan of the Womans’ Clubs ol
Georgia this week. The clubs are
especially active in Atlanta and
Muoou. Nothing better for the
state can be promoted than the
continued use of Georgia products
by Georgia people. Of course t he
increased use will create au in
creased demand for Georgia pro
ducts. Logical results will cause
tho state to “blossotfi as a rose”
in all lines of business. Increased
production will be taken care of
by increased demand and increas
ed circulation of money. The
great volume of out-of-Georgia
products used.by Georgia people
would make millions of money ao
away that ought to be kept in .the'
state. The chickens our people
fail to raise and sell would enable
a majority of-our people to eat
chickens evei y day in the year.
The same could be said of many
other salable Georgia products.

I think it is indeed fortunate
that these things are being de
veloped by private capital and not
by tho stale and its political sub
divisions, because then its failure
would bo assured.
I have no sympathy with the
attempt now being made to create
a sentiment in this state in favor
of public ownership of such in
dustries.
in every oity that I know any
thing about they have made a;
signal failure with municipal,

A city will al ways have political

municipalities that have tried
owning their own plants have made
miserable failures with only a few
exceptions and the private corpora
tions generally succeed.
