The Untortunate Georgia-
Tech Row Should Be Ended
Tis a matter of gemuine and smeere re-
I gret to The Georgian that differences of
opinion between the parent branch of
the University of Georgia and the Georgia
School of Technology should have been per
mitted to proceed to the point of formal sev
erance of athletie relations.
The Georgian thinks, moreower, that the
present deplorable and nunfartunate status of
affairs is entirely unnecessary and might
have been prevented by the exercise of com
mon sense, forbearance and tolerance upon
the part of older heads in antherity.
That the senmior class of the University
“pufled a stunt™ distasteful in the extreme
to the Tech stadent body is quite possible.
The “stunt”” may have been ill advised, fool
jsh, silly. We have known eollege boys to
“pull. stunts™ of that persuasion many
times—and Georgia has no monopoly on
ability to do such things.
But to ask or expect The Georgian to
believe that there was actual malice and de
liberate purposé or intent to insult in the
hearts of the senior class of the University is
to ask The Georgian to believe something
that is impossible in The Georgian's mental
meake-up.
- We glory in righteous pride and healthy
rivalry among student bodies. It is the thing
in college athletics that commends itself
wholly to our way of thinking—far more
than the contests themselves. The student
bodies could get alomg without athleties—
and probably would be REQUIRED to do
so—were it not for the fine and manly spirit
they usually engender.
That this rivalry sometimes becomes
superheated is true—usually, however, with
little permanent damage to any person con
eerned. But when it occasionally does reach
the point where damage is likely to be done,
why, there is the point where older heads
should intervene and stop the unpleasant
ness.
We should remember that the boys com
posing the student bodies of both Georgia
and Tech are the same stock ; they eome from
the same Georgia towns, have been reared
in the same wholesome environments, and
the one is no better nor worse than the other.
Georgia could not reflect upon Tech with
Our Private Soldiers Need Organization
Lest Their Great Service Be Forgotten
ORE than 1,000 delegates, represent
ing 300,000 railroad trainmen, have
adopted a resolution endorsing the
campaign of the Hearst newspapers for six
months’ pay for discharged soldiers, sailors
and marines.
The resolution was introdueed by Dele
gate Walter L. McMenimen, of Boston, one
of the ablest and most loyal of the leaders
of the working men in New England. The
resolution is as follows:
*"Whereas thousands of soldiers, sailors and
marines in the service of their country are be-
Ing discharged daily from the army and navy
of the United States; and
“Whereas such discharged soldiers, sailors
and marines will encounter serious difficulty in
adjusting their personal affairs during the un
settled conditions of the reconstruction period;
and
“Whereas by reason of their patriotism and
love of country, which have caused them to en
dure hardships and suffering and to expose
themselves to the perils of war that democracy
might live, they are entitled to the gratitude of
their country; therefore be it
“Resoived, That the second triennial con
wention of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men hereby urges Congress to pass suitable
legislation for the purpose of providing six
months' additional pay for soldiers, sailors and
marines upon their discharge from the service;
and be it further
“Resoived, That the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen heartily indorses the campaign
for this purpose conducted by the Hearst news
papers, and that it pledges its support tothe
end that the movement shall be successful.”
At the same time comes the announce
ment of Marvin Gates Speery, president of
the national organization of the private
soldiers and sailors of America, that the pri
vates intend to spread their organization
until it includes every private in the service
during the war.
President Speery says:
“In time we'll have every private that
served in the war enlisted In our legion. In no
shape or form is it affiliated with an officers’
organization, nor can an officer join.
“The privates won the war. We are only
fighting for justice for the privates after the
war.” 3
The Georgian believes that the officers have
‘unquestionably contributed their full quota
in both courage and ability toward the win
ping of the war, but that, nevertheless, the
~privates are wise to organize separately from
~ We have waged a war to make the world
gafe for democracy. Both American officers
and privates did their best to this great end,
TRUTH, JUSTICE ¥
out refleeting upon herself. They are part
and parcel of the same institution.
Student bodies—and faculties, for that
matter—too frequently make the mistake of
supposing that these institutions ‘are their
personal property, to do with as they wish,
whereas such is not the case.
The University of Georgia and the Geor
gia School of Technology belong to the peo
ple of Georgia—to the taxpayers, who sup
port them, and not to any class of either in
stitution, nor to any professor or partisan
WAarriors.
The parents of the students in these in
stitutions do not send their boys to either to
learn to hate one another; they do not sup
port these institutions as hotbeds of bitter
ness and distrust. They have quite an oppo
gite idea in mind. And when either the one
or the other—or both—get to riding too high
horses it is proper to call them off and down.
It will not be many days before both
Georgia and Tech will be importuning the
Legislature for help—deserved help, too, in
nine cases out of ten. It isn’t going to help
matters—The Georgian warns both institu
tions—to have a nasty row like the present
aired on the floor of the General Assem ly
and made a point of contention by those who
eatertain none too great friendliness for
these institutions, in any event.
It will be very well for all parties to keep
these rather important facts in mind.
If Georgia has done something to wound
Teeh, her sister institution, even uninten
tionally, then let Georgia disclaim any sinis
ter purpose in the matter. Let Georgia do this
frankly and unreservedly.
That will be the manly thing to do.
And it will not be a difficult thing to do,
moreover—if (Georgia’s heart and conseience
are clear, which, we feel sure, is the case.
And it makes no difference whether Tech
“‘invites’’ this or no. The only question is,
What is right and honorable?
If Tech honestly feels that she has been
“‘insulted,”’ a candid disclaimer from Geor
gia should soothe her feelings and square the
account. The Georgian feels very sure it
will. If not, Tech will then be left in a most
uncomfortable and untenable position.
Between gentlemen—young or old—the
s;lr:aight, open way always leads to the sun
shine.
but our army discipline was NOT demoecratie.
The old Regular Army traditions gov
erned the organization of our National Army
in this war, and the old Regular Army tra
ditions have no place for comradery and de
mocracy between privates and officers.
It is to. be hoped that the privates will
continue their separate organization. We
always look out for our own interests best.
We always' speak for oursdlves best.
It is a fundamental law of democracy that
men are best eapable of taking care of them
selves.
The officers’ class will take care of them
selves in their own organization. They de
serve well of the country and are worthy of
all the recognition they can receive, but the
great mass of the soldiers need organization
still more, for they are liable to be forgotten
in their very numbers if they do not look out
for themselves.
PRESIDENT FOR ONE
LITTLE DAY ONLY
Up in the Blue Grass country there is a
very likable fellow—John Tate by name——
who delights to propound difficult questions.
Incidentally John Tate is counsel to the
Mayor of Louisville.
In an examination recently John Tate
asked the class: ‘“Name the two Presidents
of the United States who were born in Ken
tucky.”” %
There was no trouble about the one— for
every child in Kentucky knows that Abra
ham Lincoln was born in La Rue County.
The other stumped them. Finally the inquisi
tor said:
“‘Think hard. A town in Kansas was
named in his honor. A thoroughbred that
followed Sir Barton in the Derby was named
after his native town, and he had the honor
of being the chief executive of this nation for
one day.”’
‘“Oh, yes, it was Atchison——David R.
Atchison,”’ replied one. e
David R. Atehison, who was born in Frox
town, Ky., was President of the United States
Sunday, March 4, 1849. Zachary Taylor,
President-elect, refused to be inaugurated
on the Sabbath. Atchison, Senator from Mis
souri, was presiding officer of the Senate,
and President for twenty-four hours, from
noon of Mareth 4, 1849,
N How many wagers could be won‘on the
proposition that a man named Atchison once
had been President of the United States—or
near-President, anyway?

ARMY TRUCKS AND ROADS.
o §
(Waycross Herald-Journal.)
We have seen the modern version
of ‘‘beating swords into plow
shares” in the turning inte fertilizer
o' nitrates meant for explosives.
Now comes another adaption no
less impressive. Agriculture re
quires roads. It is of no avail to
put fertilizer into the soil unless
there are good highways to get the
products to market. Wherefore,
Uncle Sam, in pursuance of his
transformation from war to peace,
is turning over to the Department
of Agriculture 20,000 army trucks,
worth $45.000,000, to use in road
construction. No better use can be
imagined for those surplus trucks
nowes in the hands of the War De
partgnent. They will be distributed
among the States under a provision
of the postoflice appropriation bill,
and will no doubt prove to be a big
stimulus in road building.

GEORGIA CHEESE.
Ilditor The Georgian:
One of the new industries of the
State that is forging ahead |is
cheese making in the mountain
counties of North Georgia. The
first factory was started near
Young Harris and in a short time
two others will be in operation.
Behind it is an interesting story of
Lhow the State College of Agricul
ture, co-operating with the United
States Department of Agriculture,
is building permanent industries of
one kind and another over the State
that provlde/,markets and assist the
farmer in making more money on
the same land.
Although Georgia consumes
cheese in such quantities that car
load shipments are made from Wis
consin, none has been made in the
State until recently. The first fac
tory was built in the spring of 1918,
near Young Harris, and the busi
ness started in a small way. 1.. H,
Marlatt, Athens, Ga., is in charge
of the cheese factory work in the
State. Cheese making soon became
a popular industry and the little
factory made good from the first
day.
The two new factories that are
becing built are nearly completed
and part of the machinery installed.
One is located six miles from Young
JHarris and will be known as the
“State Line Cheese Factory.” The
other is at Cleveland and will be
called the “Cleveland Co-operative
Cheese Factory.” These two new
buildings will be improvements over
the first one put up at Young Har
ris.
The detailed report for April is
most gratifying. The net price per
pound of butterfat received by the
farmers was 84 1-4 cents. Butter is
selling in that territory at from 20
cents to 25 cents per pound. From
present indications the value of milk
received this season will be treble
what it was last year.

Campaign
—
By Garrett P. Serviss,
i ET ready to fight flies. Be
i G gin the fight now. This mild
‘f #pring, which is likely to’
| bs foilowed by an early summer, has
| heen very favorable for the musca
! domestica, and many of the breed
| have hjbernated with comfort in
houses, barns and garages. They
are already coming forth to renew
their unceasing efforts at world
domination, Stray ones are hum
ming impudently about living rooms
and restaurants. ;
‘ While other insect enemies of
mankind usuaily afford some re
| spite, coming in hordes that are
g not equally numerous and malig
| nant every year, there i 8 no such
| relaxation in the activity of flies.
| They never intermit their efforts,
{ and if they are more abundant
| some years than others, the differ
' ence is not due to any natural pa
! riodicity like that affecting locust
‘ swarms, but simply to accidental
4 or temporary circumstances, of
' which the varying intensity of the
‘! human war of defense waged
| against them is one of the most im
| portant,
3 One of the greatest mistakes to
| make about flies is that of treat
| ing them as practically harml;ss
| until they appear in swarms. A
| single fly in the house in the
: spring time, a fly that has come
| out of its hiding place. ravenous
| for the foul nourriture that its
i race prefers, but also eager to get
| its unclean feet on every fresh-cut
{ loaf or slice of bread, and into every
| sugar bowl and dish of meat, is
i potentially capable of starting a
| death-march in that house.
! SWAT THE FJIRST ONE. '
! This past winter we had one of
| the severest epidemics of influenza
. and pneumonia ever recorded. Such
diseases may leave their effluvia
in a clogged house in spite of efforts
at purification, and the saprogenic
fly will find the contagion in its
hiding place, drag it forth, and re
awaken its virulence by spreading
it again through the human sys
tem. <XKill the first fly you see!
| From a single batch of its eggs
120 other little winged demons may
' be fully developed within from
i eight to ten days.
I If only half of those 120 are fe
| males, in another fortnight they
; may have produced a multiplied
. host of 7,200. And the next gen
i eration less than two weeks later
- may be buzzing about your eam,
] and befouling and poisoning your
i food, to the number of 432,000! Al
that from one original dissembler,
whom you allowed to go undis
turbed because she reminded you of
spring, amd You would not be un
hospitable to a creature who,
| though uninvited, had passed the
winter beneath your roof. The de
scendants of only 100 such originals
might, in a month or six weeks,
number 43,200,000!
WINTER FAVORED PESTS.
Of course, the figures just given
are probably excessive (although
that is not so certain, for every fly
lays several batches of eggs, each
average 120 individuals), but, how
ever reduced, the figures are sure
to remain startlingly large,
It should also he said that the
great majority of flies which ap
pear in the spring are not the
progeny .of the adults which have
had the luck to find safe refuge in
warm houses, but they come from
the eggs or pupae deposited in ref
use heaps the preceding fall, where
they lie protected from the frost.
A winter as warm as last must be
favorable te a successful winter
ing of the eggs, although in ordi
nary circumstances, no doubt, long
enduring snow may serve as a blan
ket against the cold. But this time
the temperature has been so uni
formly high that the snow blanket
could hardly have been missed.
Suppose the summer season should
- open two or three weeks eartier
than it ordinarily does; then the
flies, whether those hibernating in
~ building or those left undeveloped
in the breeding piaces, would have
' the advantage of at least two suc
~ cessive generations to start with,
added go the dozen or more gen
\ erations which measure the ordi
nary period of annual sty domina
tion.
