Atlanta, Ga., April 1st. White
County received a total of $4 936.
97 for public welfare purposes dur
jog the month of February, a re¬
port of the State Department of
Public Welfare shows.
Of the sum received,$ 3 lo.OO was

the county for the aid of persons
not eligible for WPA work, CCC
enrollment, or any form of social
security.
The total expenditure for the
state es a whola during the month
were $1,922,789.70
The increase in the number ot
persons upon public payrolls is u
frequent topic of discussion. It is
uot effective to state that one out
of every seven voters in Georgia
bolds down a public job. More
concrete figures are desirable. Bu -
iness and labor both pay the tax
bill of the State and nation and
Cimditiods in Georgia are fast
reaching a point where capital and
kbor will demand a definite con¬
structive program That many ol
the objectives of the New Deal ar<
both feasible and expeditiously
sound is obvious, bnt the concen¬
tration of power in (he executive
entailed find the increase in publu
payrolls'can become serious, es
peciouslly wbenState governments,
for example Georgia, undertake to
ape the “Big New Deal” with a
“httie new deal.” In Fulton
county there are approximately
4o,ooo registered voters, 22 530
voted in the recent hectic election
for sheriff; 34,300 voted in the last
State election. In Fulton county

8,500 city employees, 3,250 teach¬
ers city and county, l,2oo state
employees, 5,700 Federal employ
eea and 12,300 on WPA rolls,mak
ing a total of 25,900.
Someone tells us about White

you check on it.

HOW DO YOU DO?
June 1 was selected as the dat
for closing of entries in the stat
primary, September I4, by the
rules committee ot the State Demo¬
cratic Executive Committee here
Suturday night.
The rules committee also decid¬
ed to recommend an assessment ot
$3;d for each candidate for gover¬
nor or the U. S. Senate, and $250
for all other state office candidate!,

Twenty years ago a great demo¬
cratic president grappled with
world problems no president had
ever faced. He blazed new paths
but not without opposition. Lead¬
ership has passed into the hands of
another great democratic, leader
and tho problems that confront
him, and the nation, are scarcely
less grave than those with which
Wilson contended in lyl? anctlplS
Mauy are of the opinion that
Wilson would h ive initiated some
of the very reforms being accom¬
plished by Franklin i). Roosevelt
hud uot the world war claimed his
attention. Roosevelt’s crisis is at
home. But for the world war it is
most probable that Wilson’s great
tight for forgotten peoples through¬
out the world would have been 11
fight for the forgotten man here at
home.
Opposition would have come to
Wilson here, as it has come to
Roosevelt. It would have come
from the very same sources. It is
probable that Wilson would not
have suffered defeat hud the zone
of his influence been confined to
our shores.
Roosevelt is better fit, tempera¬
mentally, for the problems now at
Hand than was Wilson. Roose
vei is glamorous and friendly and
tv < ; Wilson was was serious and
austere and fine. Providuuce. put
y.tch on the scene of aciioi at the
jtnper time and their reforms in
uman affairs parallel.
The Legion’s picture will enable

nod and lay it alongside, so to
j at, of this current peri d for
n arision, We have read much
■.•t dmioUtratiou die stirring events and”remember of the Wilson
much
3 ut to actually see it again and
watch a world hang 00 his pro¬
nouncements will enable us to see
the two great, humanitarians ' in a
common battle for the same ideals.
The preview of this picture was
in churches and on Sunday even¬
ings, Men and women, brought
closer to Wilson by revived memo
ries have wept to think of his noble
efforts being taken so lightly by u
war-stricken world now bathed in
hood. The picture shows enough
df the horrors of war to le.jui men
to want peace and euougii of the
blessings of wed ordered and just
government to cause men to de¬
mand peace, evex if they have to
fight for it.
The Legion is to be commended
for keeping the film twenty years.
We will appreciete it more now I
Many have never seen a quaint old
silent film and most of us have for¬
gotten the queer automobiles, the
funny styles of hats and dress arid
the way our peodie acted and look¬
ed twenty years ago. And many
people will appreciate seeing
“Teddy” Roosevelt again and feel
the abundant life and vigor of that
great personality.

oppressed meet the fate ofWilsoti’s
