been made by the citizens because
the trash containers have been
overturned and scattered by dogs
and cats. The new ordinance requires
that each property owner secure
fly proof container and cither bury
this in the ground or stake it to pre
vent them from being overturned
It also requires that all containers
be placed in the back yards. The
pe:plo should co-operate fully with
this new law and the results will
be most pleasing in every respect.
The city however must do its part.
The collection of the garbage in
every section of the city, whether on
the outskirts, or the center of town,
must be more regular and at least
twice a week. If the property owners
nlace their garbage in the contain
ers required in the ordinance and
nlace them in the rear of their home,
they can and must expect it to be
taken up regularly. We believe the
new ordinance will be beneficial in
every respect if carried out by city
and property owner.

TALMADGE IN SPRINGFIELD
There are many incongruous
things to be witnessed in this good
cld world. There are the ludicrous
and the ridiculous. 'Gene Talmadge
speaking in Springfield,
home of Abraham Lincoln, belongs
to the latter designations. To Tal
madge in his mad spite work against
the president of the United States,
eulogizing Lincoln as the one chief
constitution preserver, while
demning Roosevelt for having sug
gested that it might sometimes be
necessary to again amend it—it has
been amended some twenty or more
times—was the height of silliness.
If the constitution had never been
amended we would have no bill of
rights today, this same bill of rights
being called by many the real heart
of the constitution. In deed it would
be rather an empty document with-
it it.
Lincoln had his serious difficul
ties with the supreme court, far
difficult than anything Presi
dent Roosevelt has had or will have,
and yet the Pecksniffian governor
of Georgia will laud Lincoln for the
thing for which he condemns
Roosevelt.
We know of no one in particular
j_lwho objects to any tribute that is
j () J paid Abraham Lincoln, by any
lak. Ti.
