There are many people who talk

who have never had any eapitol and
never done any labor.
The courts should treat the boys
who continue to mix their liquor

When Governor Talmadge this

City politics has yet created very

The Germans are agiin treating

The attitude of the Resident in

MOTHERHOOD A CAREER
A woman who foremrly lived in
Georgia has been chosen "the typi
cal American mother of 1935." She
was selected because her kindly
face typifies a mother's virtues. To
Mrs. Fletcher M. Johnson, now of
Irvington, N. Y.. has come this
honor, and although the cares of in
creasing years have whitened her
hair and the lines of her face show
that toll has been taken of her days
there is something in her photo
graph. which is being extensively
shown in the press, that makes one
know that to her motherhood is a
career, not a series of day by day
drudgeries.
And what is evidently true of this
white haired woman is typical of
many mothers. To those who consider
motherhood a career the experience
brings forth the finest and best with-
them. There is something so in
effably sweet about a real mother

SUNSTROKE VICTIM
Except for its disgraceful exposure
of bad sportamanship and bad taste,
the outburst of Governor Eugene
Talmadge of Georgia against Presi
dent luxKcvdt would be worthy of
only the most casual notice. Those
who have followed the career of
Talmadge in the State House at At
lanta have long since perceived that
lie is both narrow in his outlook and
bullheaded in his judgments. It is
r.o surprise to find a man of his
in>Uectual limitations crying down
the President as an "extreme radi
cal." That was to be expected.
When he carried his criticism of
the chief executive onto more
personal grounds, however, he step
ped beyond the bounds of what
country out of the depression. He has J might be interpreted as honest opin-
disagreed with the agricultural pro- K ~
gram, he has openly fought the relief
For months there has been an open
rift between the governor and Relief
Administrator Hopkins. Secretary
Ickes and other leaders of the New
Deal program. He has been bitter in
his denunciation of many of the
policies which the administration has
adopted in on efort to bring the
policies of the A.A.A
Roosevelt administration. They rea
lize they have been beneficiaries of
these policies.
Secretary Wallace says the dust
storms are natures revenge for neg
lected lands. The south has already
experienced this revenge in soil
erosion and gullies that have ruined
thousands jf acres.
The newspapers of Georgia are
almost unanimously condemning
Governor Talmadge and Commis
sioner of Agriculture Tom Linder for
their attack on President Roosevelt
and his administration.

The City Council should use every
means in its power to destroy mos
quito places in the city, and keep
the city clean. This is necessary* to
protect the health of the people and
prevent a repetition of an epidemic
of dengue fever.
One of the mis'akes being made
by tha highway board is to build
low cost roads. It seems that the
wise policy would be to build fewer
roads and make .hose that are built
of a more permanent and lasting

y. A person was recently heard
» say "some women regardless of
•hether they are married are bom
mothers, and some are bom old
maids.” And we believe this state
ment is true. Fortunate is the wo-
to whom mothering comes
naturally, but more fortunate than
the woman who takes the
occupation of being a mother joy
ously and with seriousness enough to
fulfill this greatest of all obligations.
PART OF CONSPIRACY?
- Fran the Svmnnah Pres*
The prospect is that the democrats
of the south will have Huey Long
presented them in order to defeat
Franklin D. Roosevelt next year.
There ought not to be much choice
between the two since the wild man
fr^m Louisiana is pretty well sized
up by all sensible people.
But the southern people especially
know that Huey Long may be ofibr
ed as the candidate of Wall street in
the hope of breaking the hold which
Roosevelt has upon the people. Huey
Long will probably be announced in
Georgia as a democratic candidate
and it is said he m ay have the sup
port of extremists in this state who
are opposed to President Roosevelt
and his policies. Huey Long will
not with remotest chance of being
elected.
The booze business has wrecked
more lives, destroyed more homes
and blasted more hopes than any
other activity. Intelligent control of
this menace is the /problem that
faces us today. It seems that few

The mill owners are responsible
for the propoganda that is being
circulated against the processing tax.
Last yerr Georgia received seven
teen million dollars from the pro
cessing .ax. while it cost Georgians
about three million. If the process
ing tax. which is paid by the con
sumer and not the mill owner, is
taken off, the farmers will receive
much less for their cotton.
CANT BUND CHILDREN
We sometimes overlook the Tact
that what the children learn in the
school room is only a part of their
education. Recently the board of edu
cation in a middle western industrial
city appointed a committee to mak<
a survey of the citizenship training
that was being given in the city's
schools. The committee presently re
ported that the courses were making
a fine showing, except for the fact
that the children were learning too
much about their city outside of
school hours.
In class the children wer
all about the principles of
ment. how it is supposed to operate, J ’
idea, he has said that there
good in the NRA.
To all of this the answer is that
he is entitled to his own opinion.
Of course, it may be contended, and
we think rightly, that some of the
governor’s opposition has placed
Georgia in the position of not re
ceiving as prompt and favorable con
sideration as other states where there
has been a more friendly feolinp be
tween the state officials and those
chosen to head the affairs of state in
Washington. It is but natural, that
when the governor is in open war
fare with those who have charge of
such vast programs as have been
handled through the Washington
officials, that these same officials
•ould be more sympathetic to states
•here no such warfare existed.
It will be remembered that last
ear. just before President Roosevelt
made a visit to Georgia—his second
home—Governor Talmadge released
blast against the administration and
its policies. A large number of Geor
gians resented his attack at that time.
- then the breach has widened,
is week Governor Talmadge
made his attack direct and personal
against Mr. Roosevelt and not against
the New Deal. He is quoted as calling
Mr. Roosevelt “a radical in extreme
form” and apparently making a bid
for leadership in a third party move-
But the fatal step which Mr. Tal
madge made was in his blast against
Mr. Roosevelt was when he spoke
sneeringly of his physical affliction.
Mr. Talmadge is quoted as having
said “The greatest calamity in this
country is that President Roosevelt
‘t walk around and hunt up peo
ple to talk to. He can only talk to
those hie secretaries and assistants
allow to come in and see him."
Continuing he added “The next
president who goes into the White
House will be a man who knows
what it is is to work
hours a day. That man will be able
to walk a two by four plank.
It may nc alright for Governor
Talmadge to jump on Mr. Hopkins,
on Secretary Ickes, on the New
Deal and its policiesT on the AAA
and other efforts which are honestly
being made to relieve a distressing
situation over the entire nation
although we do not agree that it
alright—but when he so far forgets
himself as to hold up to scdl-n the
President of the United States be
cause of an affliction, he has step
ped beyond the bounds of propriety
and his utterances cannot be pardon-

There have been precious few
references to the physical affliction
under which Mr. Roosevelt labors,
and it remained for Talmadge to
stoop to tjiis subject in his attack on
the President.
“The next President,” he pro
claimed, “will be a man who knows
what it is to work in the sun four
teen hours a day. That man will be
able to walk a two-by-four plank,
too."
It becomes apparent from Gov
ernor Tahnadge's actions that ha
himself has worked too long in the
of political ambition, and
that he ha* suffered that type of
unstroke from which few men ever
recover. Turning giddy eyes toward
1936. he sees himself in a kind of
mirage, floating on waves of bal-
the people’s choice for third
party leader and saviour of the
country.
While contemplating this idlri
dream. Talmadge has crushed aside
of the important problems of
his State. In the absence of any at
tempt by Georgia to provide State
relief funds to match Federal con
tributions, Harry Hopkins notified
the Governor and the Legislature
several weeks ago that some means
would have to be found for Georgia
to contribute $3,000,000 to relief in
1935. The Legislature adjourned
some time later without providing
a penny for this purpose, nor did
Governor Talmadge move his fing-
that any funds were raised.
He has sought to block every effort
of the Federal Government to work
out its programme in Georgia, yet
he blithely declared himself “confi
dent" that Georgia will get its share
of the Federal work-relief funds
hich Hopkins declares will cease
flowing into that State on June 1
Thus Talmadge dreams of tearing
jwn the National Administration
and mounting up himself on
wreckage. Did he but realize it. he
