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.

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. * FRANK WELDON. Atlanta, Ga., June 3, 1924. SEND US YOUR JOB WORK. r-e-—I —» - \ -.V *'■//, > W >- ! I 1 gSk> • i i 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 '■ause of ncaee. vet it has not re The Teii'Millionth dfoject; The 10,000,000 th Ford car left the Highland Park factories of the Ford Motor Company • June 4.

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.
