BUS LINES AND
How long are the people of Geor
gia going to build and maintain
roads with their tax money to be
used by the operators of bus and
truck lines who wear out the roads
as fast as they can be built and pay
nothing to help keep them up?
Already heavy busses are being
operated in regular lines between
the principal cities of Georgia and
on the main roads leading into At
lanta and other large cties. Heavy
trucks with loads making a total
weight -entirely too heavy are fre
quently seen oft our highways and
there are suggestions that companies
-will be formed to operate regular
lines of freight trucks.
All this may appear to be an in
dication of progress but few people
seem to have taken into account the
question of who is to pay the cost of
this service which is only possible as
the result of the construction of our
improved system of highways.
Of course, the average citizen is
not greatly concerned over the fact
that these bus and truck lines are
taking business from the rail lines
while running over roads built and
maintaned with money paid in part
by the railroads. But when he sits
down and figures that with hi 3 taxes
he is providing a right of way for
the -owners of a commercal enter
prise who are subjecting his roads
to unusual wear and tear and are
paying notifing for the privilege, he
may feel a more lively interest in
'.the question.
If the bus lines furnish a service
•which is needed, they have tome to
stay but there is no question but
that they should be forced to pay
their just part of building and main
taining the highways. It may take
ih'i* idea a long time to sink into the
minds of tlm men who make our
laws bat eventually we shall see up
on our statute laws which will
.sdbject the bus lines to proper regu
lation and make them pay their
part of the road cost.

Our sale which began the 7th and
will end on Saturday, the 14th, at
9 p. m., is positively the greatest
sale’of Furniture and Rugs ever
put over in Lawrenceville.
If you need anything in the Fur
niture and Rug line, now is the
time, and Richardson’s store is
the place to buy it. We have al
most a complete stock of every
thing that a furniture store
should carry.
Our reduction during this week is
about an average of 20 per cent
on’every piece of furniture m the
house, and our special on Rugs is
about 33 1-3 per cent.-
Just think —a good seamless Ax
minster Rug 9x12 feet, value
$56.50, now $29.95; and all other
kinds and sizes about the same
reduction.
Come in and see for yourself; I
am not trying to fool you.
Absolutely no droods charged; it is for
the cash we make this great reduction.

WOMEN S VOTE.
John Temple Graves in an article
in the Washington Post has this to
say about the women’s vote:
The wide world of politics is
watching and waiting for the Amer
ican woman’s vote in November.
It is a thrilling and tremendous
event. For the first time the Ameri
can woman is full suffraged now and
if she wills, may vote her full mili
tant strength in the coming national
election. Never before has she been
able to poll more than a fragment of
strength. Sectional and sporadic en
franchisement has given expression
to her will in local elections. But at
last, the entire sex, from Maine to
California, holds in its hand the lit
tle white slip of paper that marks
its full equality and its glorious op
portunity.
Since the republic was born it has
known no more interesting, no more
fateful hour.
URGES LEADING CITIZENS TO
STAND FOR LEGISLATURE
Editor Atlanta Constitution: Je
hovah promised Abraham that He
would save Sodom and Gomorrah if
10 good men could be found within
them.
Ten good men could probably save
Georgia, but they would have a hard
job doing it. Forty or 50 men could
do it, though, with ease.
Surely the state has not fallen to
such depths of impotence that we
cannot find 50 big, capable, unsel
fish men who will consent to make
the personal sacrifice to go to the
next legislature and frame the con
structive legislation necessary to
lift Georgia out of the financial mire
into which she has sunk.
Every county should be urged to
select its ablest business arid profes
sional men to stand for the house
and senate this year.
One or two big ones cannot ac
complish the task by themselves, but
if we can get even 25 or 50 of our
ablest in the assembly, the Lillipu
tians will no longer dominate.
Let’s elect one more assembly
which will measure up with the best
of the old days.
Fulton will draft three of her
ablest, if Chatham, Bibb, Richmond,
Muscogee and a few others will send
the flower of their citizens.
We need men who have the talent
and the courage to draft and pass
constructive legislation—men in
whom the people have confidence.
Our institutions will never get the
aid which they so greatly need, so
long as our legislature is dominat
ed by political peddlers.
If this should be done we will wit
ness an awakening of interest,, and
the people will feel an inspiration
that they have not had in a genera
tion. *

SALVATION IN HONESTY.
United States Senator Samuel M.
Ralston, of Indiana, who is in the list
of those discussed for the democratic
presidential nomination, but who kept
the state convention of his party
from instructing delegates for him,
has emphasized some simple truths
that ought to guide the voters in their
placing of the power of government.
In an address to the convention he
stressed the fact that the salvation of
the people and the success of popular
government rest absolutely upon the
honesty and efficiency of public ser
yants. No matter how lofty the
principles of government proclaimed
by candidates and political parties,
without the honesty that holds faith
fully to them where power is delegat
ed to apply to them, or without the
knowledge and the skill to put them
into practice, the fine programs go
for naught. The people must consid
er not alone the dishonesty that steals
public funds or seeks to exploit na
tional resources for private benefit,
but also the intellectual dishonesty
that would deceive the public by mak
ing it appear that it is working for
some high purpose when in reality it
is obstructing it.
In this campaign there must be
thought not only of the individuals
who have sought to enrich themselves
at the public expense by trafficking in
national resources, but also of the
members of the senate who, for in
stance, while pretending to be for
membership of the United States in
the world court, are invariably found
putting obstacles in the way of prac
tical objects in that direction. The
parly in power has been pledged re
peatedly tp world co-operation in the

GETTING DOLLED UP
deemed the promises of this nature
given four years ago. There are two
alternatives for arriving at a judg
ment on it. Either it lacks the knowl
edge and the skill to do what it prom
ised, or it has been blocked by intel
lectual dishonesty on the part of some
of its members in the senate. It is
for the voters to decide which. Sen
ator Ralston well points out:
“Without honesty, without intelli
gence and economy in public expendi
tures, no political, party deserves the
public confidence. All other issues
are secondary to this consideration,
and it is up to the American people
themselves to say whether or not
they shall have the public service to
which they are entitled. One Miing
is certain: They cannot unless ttiey
take their stand as Thomas Jeffer
son did in opposition to our govern
ment’s showing favoritism to any
class. I submit to your judgma it mm|
to yppr own conscience that the de
plorable conditions in our gove nmen.
D‘e the direct results the doctrine
of special privilege.”
The American people have re
peatedly indorsed platforms contain
ing planks for world co-operation for
peace. Senator Ralston emphasizes
that it is time their will were heeded.
They should see that candidates hon
estly in aceord with their will are
elected. The democratic party the
senator continues should choose as its
candidate for the presidency a man
who is “human through and through;”
who knows America, and who wants
this country to do its part in estab
lishing peace—and continuous peace
—among the nations of the earth.
It is but common sense that the will
of the people will not be heeded if
ihev continue the power of govern-
ment in the hands of those who have
proved unable, for whatever reason,
to redeem the pledges upon which
they were elected.
LATTER DAY HERESY.
The conviction on a charge of here
sy of Bishop Brown, retired, by a
court of the Protestant Episcopal
church, has importance in that the in
stance is the first in which a bishop of
that church has been tried oil such
grounds. It also is an echo of "fcbe
past in which penalties for the of
fense were infinitely more severe than
any punishment which can be inflicted
on the offender in this case, if the
verdict stands.
For many centuries in the history
of the Christian church heresy was a
heinous crime and many a heretic has
gone to his death for his departure
from \vhat was considered orthodox
teaching. If the judgment is not over
turned on appeal the worst punish
ment that can he inflicted on Bishop
Brown lies in deposition which would
carry with it deprivation of ( the right
to exercise his priestly office, but it
would not exclude him from the com
munion, for “once a communicant, al
ways a communicant,” is said to be
he law. The latter appears to be a
denial that one may depart so far
from the doctrines of the church as to
be out of it entirely.
Evidently Bishop Brown does not
wish to be unfrocked, else he would
never have stood trial. He wishes to
keep his ministerial office and his
beliefs also, notwithstanding they ap
pear-to be in conflict. In this position
he is not different from other dis
senters from creeds to which they had
previously subscribed.
