THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE
wants to see more cattle sold on the
block and less on the rails. It puts
it this way.
The A. B. & A. pays annually to
owners of stock along its line killed
on the track an average of $36,000.
If the owner would take care of his
stock, bring it to maturity, sell it
to a favorable market,, it would
bring a total of between $70,000 and
$75,000. The same apples to other
railroads in Georgia and Alabama.
THE JACK3QN PROGRESS-AR
GUS continues optimistic. Hear Ed
itor J. Doyle Jones:
Georgia’s crop values this year ex
ceed by a substantial sum the total
of last year. While a fewer number
of bales of cotton wll be produced,
the higher prices will more than
make up the difference.. Corn, to
bacco, peaches, wheat, oats, hay, po
tatoes, these afid other crops are
helping to put Georgia on top. Cot
ton is no Longer the only money
crop.
THE BRUNSWICK NEWS thinks
it is best to put local money in local
enterprises. It says:
There is a gjowing realization in
Brunswick and ether Georgia towns
that although the coming of outside
capita! to develop industries on a
large scale is a most desirable thing,
the surest and quickest way to devel
op the ndustries of a city is to do it
with local capital. A half dozen small
locally owned factories would be
worth more to Brunswick than one
big established here by
Eastern or Northern capitalists.
TOO THIN.
American girls have pretty faces
but they are too frail. They eat too
much candy. They slink along in
sleazy gowns. They would be heal
thier and happier if they had more
muscle and there would be fewer di
•> otces. .
That is the criticism of the Danish
physical culture expert, Sir Nels
Bukh, now in this country with a
group of perfect specimens from
Denmark. He and his gymnasium
class were received by President
Coolidge in Washington.
The twenty-eight specimens—four
teen young men and fourteen young
women—who are traveling about
this country in exhibition prove his
theories. Sir Nels is head df a col
lege at Ollerup, a few miles from Co
penhagen, Denmark.
“American girls don’t develon their
bodies, their legs, their arms,” the
massive Dane said. “Your women
seek litheness from the present style
trend I see hers, but it isn’t lithe
ness I s,ee at all. It’s simple frailty;
litheness means sinew, and sinew is
what is lacking in American wom-
Sir Neils said he could take the
slouching girls he has seen in the
streets of the American cities and
make them into perfect physical
specimens in three months by vigo
rous gymnastic exercises.
GOOD ROADS.
Every man, woman, and child in
the Uinted States has personal in
terest in good roads.
The farmer and the motorist have
the most immediate and practical in
terest, but the interest of others is
no less vital that it expresses an in
drect relaton.
The farmer wants good roads be
cause he can make more money with
good roads than wiht poor roads. If
the farmer can make more money, he
spends more, which means greater
prosperity for the whole nation. And
if he can do with less money, good
roads enable him to sell, his products
for less and still make as much ;.s at
present; that means lower prices for
food.
Everyone who Ives m a rural or
suburban location is interested in
good roads, because they decease the
rural or suburban home from the
city. Every rural or suburban
dweller needs to get to the city some
time; the less the time distanc • the
less it costs.
Every one who lives in a city
wants at times to get into the coun
try. The good road is the means.
If these are no good roads, there is
a sharp line drawn between city and
country, which makes for the good
of neither.
The mere good roads the more
travel. The more travel, the more
understanding of people by their
neighbors, and the less possible is
misunderstanding, strife, rivalry, or
political discord.
Roads are a part of the foundation
of Americanism. Let us all work to
make that foundaton broad :id long
and lasting.
WHY HE SUPPORTS McADOO.
Mr. George F. Milton, editor of
the Chattanooga News, calls atten
tion to the fact that the Hon. Wil
liam G. McAdoo is going to make an
address in Chicago on November 15
and will then outline his views. Mr.
Milton says “it is practcally certain
that Hon. William G. McAdoo will
be a candidate for the nomination
for President in the next Democrat
ic National Convention.”
Mr. McAdoo was born in Georgia
and reared and educated in Tenne
see, practiced hj3 profession as a
lawyer and engaged in banking in
Tennessee before gong to New 7ork.
Later ho returned and built a street
railway in Knoxville. He ha 3 many
friends over the state who have fol
lowed his career with enthusiasm. It
is pretty generally conceded that he
contributed as much to the success
ful prosecuton of the war as any
other member of the American gov
ernment. He has the jderlism of
Woodrow Wilson and at the same
time ha.s had practical experience
that is very valuable.
He dug .the Hudson tunnels in
New York when others failed. He
went directly to the American people
to sell bonds during the war and was
successful beyond what had been
dreamed possible. As railway direct
or he put 4,000,000 boys in camps
and supplied 2,000,000 overseas.
McAdoo is a Tennesean, has dohe
things, stands for the ilson polcies,
is fair to labor, business and. the
farmers, anr can put things over. If
the wet and dry isue enters nto it, as
is likely, his views arc in line with
what Tcr.nescans believe in. He sup
ported both the Eighteenth and
Nineteenth amendments.
McAdco is the favorite candidate
in the Far West and Middle West. He
has mujeh strength in other sections.
The South united successfully with
the West in 1912 —why not now? —

IS GERMANY BANKRUPT?
From reports of conditions exist
ing in Germany it is unbeieveable
that that country is in sue’.} a de
plorable financial condition as the
Germans would have the rest of the
world believe, bile the price • of
marks have gone down to a pittance,
yet that country is makng largo pur
chases of cotton and copper from
America besides food stuff and oth
er raw materials. In August over
a half million bales of cotton was
shipped from this country and 108,-
000,000 pounds of copper. The in
dustries in that country are all tbriv
r.g and turning out unusualy large
imounts of products which are being
sold to other nations, principally
America, and with all that, the C( un
try is crynig poverty and unable to
pay France that whch she owes. The
German people are the most re
sourceful of all nations; they have
the most fertile agricultural coun
try in the world and their recovery
from the losses brought on by the
world war should not be of long du
ration.
There is something wrong some
where in the poverty cry and we do
lot believe that there is much ex
cuse for the claims which are being
broadcasted by the German govern
ment. It is true that Germany has
assessed a heavy tax on its citizen
ship, but it is also a question as to
whether this increased taxation on
it citizens is being collected.
Before we go too far n our sympa
thies, brought on by hte appeal of
these people of being poverty strick
en, let us investigate and analyze
the true condition which they are
facing and weigh every angle of the
claim before we open our hearts
and pocketbooks and aid an unde
serving cause.
THE ROME TRIBUNE-HERALD
has very high regard' for women’s
ability to do things at a convention.
It says:
Those of us who attended the Fed
eration of Women’s Clubs’ conven
tion last week feel lost now that the
dear ladies have -departed. They
crammed more proceedings into
three days than ever any bunch of
men could have done. If Lloyd
George thinks he has been given a
dose of the American “pace that
kills” on his tour of this country, it
is well that he did not attend the
\ Georgia women’s convention in
' -mo. It would have sent home
a broken human machine. Nobody
but women could have stood the pace
that was set by the convention.

JUDGE HOWARD ISSUES
STATEMENT TQ PRESS
Judge G. H. Howard authorizes
the publication of the following
statement:
The news story carried in the At
lanta Constitution and the Atlanta
Journal in recent issues to the ef
fect that it was “generally under
stood” I would be a candidate to
succeed Chief Justide Russell of the
Supreme Court who was expected to
retire to make the race for congress
was misleading as far as I am con
cerned.
I have* heard Judge Russell’s
name mentioned as a probable can
didate for United States senator,
but I have never thought of becom
ing a candidate for supremo Court
Justice whether he reires or not.
I have stated to some of my
friends the members of the
bbar and others that, at the proper
time, I would make formal an
nouncement of my candidacy in the
primary next summer to succeed
myself as Judge of the Atlanta
Circuit, and I am sure my friends
expect that.

Annye Lively, daughter of Sirs. Ltt

I Nearing the Presidential Starting Post
With twenty states operating Presidential primaries it will
not be long—as a fact not more than rix months —before the
national candidates will become known and the dark horses
smoked into the paddock. The first primary is that of New
Hampshire which will be held March 11. North Dakota follows
a week later and then the whole system gets into rapid operatio-.i.
Here is a list of the states having presidential primary laws
with the dates for the primary elections of all parties.
California, Tuesday, May 6.
Florida, Tuesday, June 3.
Georgia, to be fixed by state
committees.
Illinois, Tuesday, April 8.
Indiana, Tuesday, May 6.
Maryland, Monday, May 5.
Massachusetts, April 29.
Michigan, Monday, April 7.
Montana, Tuesday, May 27.
Nebraska, Tuesday, April 15.
In Florida the Republican party is eliminated, the law of the
state not applying to a party not polling 35 per cent of th« total
vote in the preceding general election. Republicans of Florida,
therefore, will hold a convention to pick candidates.
The spread of the primary system gives cause for much un
easiness among a number of state bosses who for years have dom
inated the political situation. By combinations, dickers, con
vention unit rules and other specious practices they have turned
the wish of the* people into a voice so still and small that it is
not heard even in a whisper. The - threatened ending of such
power naturally is not too pleasing. In brief the presidential
primary takes the crooked boss out of authority and restores
the right of franchise to the people. If the primary system
expands to any appreciable extent the country newspapers alone,
voicing the wish of more than 60,000,000 of the American peo
ple will render it impossible to crush popular,demand in the
machinery of party chicanery when it happens to exist.

j During the fairly recent revolu
tionary disturbances in Mexico, ma
rauding bands of Carranzistas and ;
Huertistas wandered around the vil-;
lages of the Mexican mining: country
south of the Arizona border. When
ever one of these bands entered a
vilage they immediately entered the j
first store they came to and. asked j
the proprietor, “\yho are you f° r — i
Carranza or Huerta?”
It was their up to him to db some j
quick guessngg If he shouted “Viva
Huerta!” and: tfe e band happened to
be Carranzistas, they cleaned out the
store and beat up the prrprietor.
One Chinaman who kept a Score in
a little village’ nr the State of Sonora
was raided by a band of HueTt’.stas.
He was a poor guesser, for when
they asked him who he was for he
shouted “Vivrt Carranza!” and im
mediately suffered the penalty.
Leaving him half dead, they next en
tered the only other store in the vil
lage, kept by a man called Finkel
stein. Mr. Finkelstein had heard his
neighbor shout “Viva Carranza,
and had witnessed the consequence.
When the leader of the band, there
fore, asked him who he was for, he
at once shouted “Viva Huerta!” and
escaped scot free.
The following week another band
of marauders entered the village and
once more the Chinaman’s store was
visited. This time the raiders were
Cafranzistas and after the Chinaman
had shouted “Viva Huerta!” there
was absolutely nothing left of his
store and very little of the China
