TRUTH, JUSTICE
Let Us Show the Whole World
What America Can Do When
Fully and Earnestly Aroused
The present peace move of Germany and
Anstria should have the undoubted effect of
SPEEDING UP the Fourth Liberty Loan.
If the movement is insincere, the lean be
comes MORE NECESSARY THAN. EVER;
if it IS sincere, this likely will be the last of
the big Liberty Loans and, therefore, YOUR
FINAL CHANCE to “‘kick in’” on the Roll of
Honor.
The war is NOT yet nearly over; there is
a great deal to do, even thongh pedce should
be found to be unquestionably on the way.
The wise and PATRIOTIC thing to do, in
the present circumstances, is to go in for the
Fourth Loan even HEAVIER than you in
tended to or thought vou counld.
YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WAS NEVER SO
NECESSARY AS TODAY.
The American people have been doing one
big thing after another ever sinee the United
States entered the war. We have done big
ger things in less time than any nation ever
did.
Now let’s do THE VERY *BIGGEST
THING that ever was done in the history of
the world.
Let us not only break every record that
any people ever made, but let us make a
record that,no people will ever approach.
The Government asks us to loan it six
thousand millions of dollars.
Let’s double it. '
Let’s show the world what the people of
the United States can do when they are thor
oughly aroused.
Six billions is the greatest single loan that
has ever been asked for by any Government
in the histcry of the world. Tt is more Ythan
the total stock of money in actual cireulation
in the United’ States, but no American, nor
anyone else familiar with the country and the
patriotism of our people doubts that this
huge sum can be raised in a single loan to
the Government, since loans are always a
matter of eredit, and the wealth of the coun
try is at least EIGHTY TIMKS SIX BIL
LIONS.
We have the greatest country in the world;
we have the most patriotic people in the
world :we have the greatgst and richest re
sources in the world, an(’wwe are the most
willing of any people in the world to expend
our resources to the utmost for an ideal
- Our Government expects us to subseribe
to six billions of Liberty Bonds. Let us sur.
prise our Government and surprise our Allies,
and, above all, SURPRISE OUR ENEMIES
Give the President of the United States
the Support of a Democratic Congress
In most States the primaries are over, The
candidates of the rival parties for both local
and national offces are duly hominated. Both
the Republican and the Democratic Congres
sional committees are in the field each with
an appgal to voters to support the candi
dates of its particular complexion.
It is & most significant sign of the times
that both of these committees base their
appeal mainly on the ground of the loyalty of
members of their party now in the House of
Representatives to the President in his war
time policies. :
The Republicans are inclined to arrogate
to themselves a degree of loyalty which they
deny to the Democrats. They declare that
whatever opposition the President has en
countered has been in his own party and
that in all matters pertaining to the conduct
of the war the Republicans have given him
a cordial and hearty support.
The Democrats natarally take sharp issoe
with this assertion and urge the voters to
return a majority of Representatives and
Senators of the President’s own party.
Mr. Ferris, of Oklahoma, tonching upon
this question in a speech in the House, urged
that the voters give to the President so large
a majority of Democrats behind him that it
will be unneeessary for him ‘‘to conduct a
debating society’’ in the House overy time
he has a war measure for enactment,
It is evident enough that the Congressional
campaign will find the champions of each
arty lou® in their assertion of peculiar
foyalty to the « Iministration so far as war
legislation is concerned. .
How the voters may regard a eampaign
of this character is vet to be determined.
Common sense, however, clearly. indicates
that if the administration is to be supported
it can best be done by members of its own
party in both houses of Congress.
We do not seek to deery or to under
estimate in any way the spirit of loyalty
whieh has led the Republicans to give in their
votes a very general support to Mr. Wilson's
administration on distinetly war issues. But
we do not think the country has been deaf to
the speeches of attack upon and eriticism of
the administration that within the last two
months have been delivered by the Repub-
Yicans for the express purpose of furnishing
~munitions for the coming campaign.
A Nor do we think that any one possessing
Fheretore all things whatsoever ye woutd that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.

by making the shseription twelve billions in
l stead of six billions.
| Our brave boys abroad did much more than
| our enemies expected them to do, much more
| than our Allies expected them to do, and
much more than even we at home, who know
best their courage and devotion, expected
them to do.
Shall we at home do less (han our boys
abroad? Shall we not do our easy part as
| well as they have done their desperately dif
l ficult part?
|, Let us surprise the world as they surprised
| it. Let us surpass all previous efforts of civil
ians in onr war as our boys abroad have sur
passed all previous records in their heroie
duty of making war.
I.et us do this mueh partly for séntiment
apd partly for the very practical advantage
that will come to our country and our cause
, as a result of it.
Vietory is now in the air. The enemy is
‘ everywhere on the run. Not only disaster
but discouragement is overpowering him.
Let us add to the disaster and increase the
discouragement of the foe in every possible
way.
Caesar said Pompey knew not how to con
quer because Pompey had failed to f llow up
and make overwhelming a vietory which he
had begun te achieve. Our boys ahroad
know how to conquer. They have started the
enemy retreating and they are keeping him
retreating. Let us do our share to keep him
on the run. Let us show that we will not only
speedily and cheerfully raise the six billions
required by our Government but that we
will gladly offer twice that stupendous
amount to the service of our country if it
needs it,
Let us carry this heartening news to our
Allies and this discouraging and damning
fact to our foes,
Let us make an end of the war quickly by
the united exertion of our utmost endeavors,
for the sooner the war is over the less it will
cost in precious lives and the less even in the
minor matter of money.
Complete demoralization on the part of the
‘ Teutonic allies may end'the whr in a month.
| A thorough realization of the hopelessness of
| their eause may result in revolution in Ger
i many and the cessation of a useless and pur
i poscless resistance,
! How glad we .wil.l be if we have done our
| share toward bringine about this speedy ter
i mination of the war through a glorions and
I overwhelming vietory,
even rudimentary political sense can be ig
norant of the fact that there are many legis
tative questions vital to the administration’s
program which are not absolutely gnd un
qualifiedly matters of war legislation,
Upon such the Republieans have not in
frequently set themselves in antagonism to
the administration’s desires in the past, and
if in the majority, would do so more effect
ively in the futirpe.
We think that common sense and a true
regard for the vigorous prosecution of the
war will lead the country to elect a Demo
eratic Congress, because that is the natural if
not the only way in which Americans can
this year express the confidence they feel in
President Wilson's brilliant and highly sue
cessful conduet of t.tu- war so far,
WHY NOT BETTER SPEED IN
REPAVING PEACHTREE?
. Isn’t it possible for the powers-that-be to
speed up the repaving of Peachtree street a
bit?
Winter is coming on, and the pressure of
time is urgent. Ivy street, from where ‘it
enters Peachtree south to Edgewood and De
catur, is congested daily to a point where it
is all but unendurable. When the winter
weather sets in, it will be WORSE,
The traffic on Atlanta’s streets is heavy,
and because of their general narrowness is in
‘ convénient and slow in the best of cireum.
- stances, Therefore, rational speed in street
~ construction here is more necessary than may
be the case usually in cities of relative size,
The Georgian believes this construetion
can be hurried along, and we hope it WILL
be.
Why not “*get a move on’’ from today on,
and get the matter over with, BEFORE the
cold weather is upon us? :
e ———————— .
““General Closing to Check Flu,’’ says a
Constitution headline. Since it tsn't a Gen
eral Von Closing, maybe he really has a
chance to put it across.
““Great activity in the nut industry’’ is
noted in Georgia. This doesn’t seem to be
exactly the silly season politically, at that.
Looks as if the German All Highest also
is the World's Champion All-Innest.

‘NOVHERE TO GO BUT OUT’
am reminded of a boy. He says
proudly that he is 15 years and
7 months of age. He also lives in
the great city, and he, too, has a
deep, consuming ambition,
No cattle ranch for him—nothing
As strenuous as that—for he told
me himself that, although he is
fairly well grown, he 18 “as weak
as a new-born babe” and “a big
coward.”
He iikes to read romunces and
tales of adventure, but—though he
does not say it to me—l strongly
suspect that 'he hates work as
much aa\he says he hates fighting.
And he writes verses, too!
He is kind hearted, for he loves
animals and bates those who are
cruel to themi, but hiz heart does
not lead him to anything very ac
tive, No cattle ranch for him. He
is employed in a banker's office,
where he has u chance to get on in
the world, but that doesn't suit him.
The one thing that this boy longs
for is to become an actor., He can
not tell how he yearns for a chance
upon the stage. It is not money he
wants, he says, nor fame; it is just
the love of acting, from his very
soul, .
FIRST BE A MAN,
Now there are two young things
of 15 vears, I see a good chance
for the girl of a hapyy, useful life.
She need ot go to a cattle ranch
to find a place where she will do
well, But as to the boy--shall we
call him Leo?—l feel rather down
hearted. For he tells me himself
that he i 1& 4 coward,
Now that settles it, Leo will have
to correct his whole being and be
cured of cowardice, No good things
can be expected of a coward. But
the case {s not hopeless, for many a
youth has set himself to learn brav
ery and self-control, and so downed
the sneaking spirit of cowardice,
The annals of war are full of
storles of men who, cursed with
cownrd'ce. have braced themselves
to be men, met all shapes of horror
and fear, but who. by mastering
themselves, came out with all the
honors of brave men,
I do not despair of Leo in the
long run, Cowardice in a boy of 15
is curable. If he takes himsalf in
hond, he may be on the fighting
line a few {ean from now. In the
meantime, I shall teil him to learn
to box, awim and he a star on the
running track. Develop his bhody
by outdoor exercises and his mind
by reading real books about real
people in the real world, and get as
quickly as possible to the point
where he realizes that cowardice s
a mortal reproach to any man, For,
first, he must be a man. Then it
dcesn’t matter what occupation he
follows, so long as it is honest.
More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
The War Lord '
IT Tooks as if we had "em licked from Belgium to the sea,
Each passing day our troops advance a mile or two or three.
old Foch keeps hammering away, and when he’s worn "em thin
He picks another place to slam and keeps on smashing in.
And while we read good cheerful news from all along the line
There falls like music on our ears, the German Kaiser’s whine.
HE isn’t spouting hoasts about the mighty German sword;
He isn’t pausing in his tracks to thank the German Lord;
He isn't hymning forth his hate and talking of the way
When his victorious armies win, he’ll make the Allies pay.
He's running round the Fatherland (behind the danger zone),
And bhegging people not to quit and leave him all alone.
TWO million of his subjects dead, and marl_v millions more
. Put where they never can take part in this or any war,
His people rioting for bread, he still runs up and down
And hegs them to keep in the fight to save his blood-stained
crown.
No Royal Personage is this who rules by right divine,
But just a badly scared old man—a coward with a whine.
Il‘ may take longer than we think to land the final blow;
He may have still a little while his whimpering way to go,
But whether it be weeks or years, those lips will boast no more
Of German Lords or German swords, or German Might in war,
His days of brag and blustering are vanished with the past;
He'll slink to what his fate may be—and whining to the last!

O not imagine, when vou have
D a slight cold, that the Span
ish influenza hes got you. It
is easy to frighten yourself into
real iliness.
As a practical joke a man was
once strapped into a chair and told
that he was to be bled to death.
His feet were put in a pail of red
dened warm water, the b:ick of a
razor was drawn across the soles
of his feet without cutting them.
The man saw the red water,
thought he was bleeding to death
and died of fear, although he had
not lost a drop of blood.

There will be millions- of ordi
nary colds as usual this autumn,
and comparatively few cases of real
Spanish influenza.
Take unusual care of every cold,
but let no cold frighten you. All
