Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY, MAY 30, 1919 Clippings and Comments McAdoo is being put forward as the Democratic candidate for presi dent. They say he cusses, and it is believed this will be necessary to win next time.—Alpharetta Free Press. We don’t konw how much good the cussing *will do to get a man there, but if he has half the troubles to face after getting there that Mr. Wil ‘son has had, he will need the answer to many prayers to pull him through even a four year term. Being a democrat we care very lit tle about the kind of person the re publicans nominate for president, ex cept that he be a real American, but candor compels us to say that we con sider Leonard Wood about the poorest bet yet proposed, if he is to run as a sort of martyr candidate. And that seems to be the game.—Dalton Citizen, The truth of the business;is the republicans are about as hard up for a man and an issue as they were the last time, and at that the democrats appear to be in nearly as bad a fix. Our attention was recently directed to the fact that certain verses in the Proverbs of Solomon seemed to be against prohibition by legal enact ment. With due respect to the wise man of Israel, it should be remember ed that he was accustomed to look upon the wine when it was red. Our friend, who is a bachelor of some vears standing, would probably not lay equal stree upon Solomon’s matri monial stress.—Monroe Advertiser. It certainly is strange that some people who give no evidence of be lief in any other part of the Bible, find so much consolation in those verses which seem to have warranted the use of strong drink. The world may turn over the wrong way now and then, but there is a lot of satisfaction in knowing that it generally turns back.—DeKalb New Era. There is satisfaction in the know ledge that there is a supreme law governing everything, even to the turning over of the earth, which brings thinks all right in the end. Some one has said that Vienna is too small to support a business mens’ organization. And that is the reason she’s so small, and will never be any bigger as long as we are content to sit still and wait for growth, with out effort.—Vienna News. If Vienna business men fail to properly support the town’s best in terest it will not be because Miss Woodward has not frequently and faithfully pointed the way. The DeKalk county grand jury last week recommended that the law be carried out and that chaingang sen tences be given every violator of the prohibtion laws.—Conyers Times. This will “get the goat” of the whiskey seller quicker than anything else in the world. If you really want to stop the sale, keep this up. We are giving labored breaths of expectancy looking for the familiar friend, the Congressional Record.— Hamilton Journal. Still it enables us to keep an eye on some of the doings of congress, which otherwise never would get back home to the folks, so we are therefore in favor of it coming on. Germany is not a good loser; neith er would she have been a magnani mous winner.—Vidalia Advance. Her manners under any circum stances are absolutely insufferable. Appropriate, Anyhow “I understand that the organist went crazy during old Phatpurrs’ funeral and made a dreadful break?” remarked Lerret. “Yes,” answered Yadiloh. “In stead of playing Chopin’s Funeral March as the casket was carried out, he struck up, ‘Where Do We Go from Here?’ ”’—Cartoons Magazine.

MARIETTA, GEORGIA A careful survey of farming activi ties in Monroe county will bring an unbiased observer to the conclusion that the reduction of cotton acreage has been chiefly confined to no man’s land.—Monroe Advertiser. You forget that it has been offici ally reduced at several hundred con ventions, in every county and state of the south during the last five months. Editor Jack Patterson, of the Cov ington News, is showing violent symp toms of drifting into the John Holder camp in the coming race for governor. —DeKalk New Era. If Jack ain’t already anchored hard and fast in the Holder camp, he has got us badly fooled. It is claimed that there are five thousand crippled children in Geor gia, some of whom are being aided in order to correct the deformity, but the vast majority have to shift for themselves.—Sandersville Progress. No matter in what direction we look we see a worthy cause like this which calls for attention. Better tax collection laws which will produce the money to take care of these causes is the greatest need of the state today. Let us watch the enactment of the next tax law. Greensboro has some auto speed ers. And, they do not fail to speed. —Greensboro Herald Journal. If they are required to make prompt and proper contributions to the city finances, they may be worth a lot to your town. X The city is awful hard up for a few dollars, when it permits a car nival to set up here for a week. There isn’t anything elevating or amusing in the one here now.—Greensboro Herald Journal. : Well we hope it is headed the other way although we don’t believe out town would let them in. President Wilson has broken so many precedents his enemies are let ting him alone. He cabled a message to congress for the opening session Monday which was going one further than apearing in person to deliver it. —Commerce Observer. Our school teacher president cer tainly has been able to teach our “wild and wooly” congress a few tricks since le left off ‘“professor ing.” ' The New York Herald says two )gentlemen got up in a New ';'ork sub ‘way and offered their seats to ladies. ~ The Macon News thinks they were ‘Georgians. Probably so, but it is said that an Ohio man by the name of Mr. William Howard Taft got up in ‘a Boston street car and gave his seat ‘to three ladies.—Commerce Observer. We guess Mr. Taft acquired the ha bit by loafing around Augusta so much, and he has also reduced his waist line a bit. Passengers who stop at Lula get the same waiting room accomodations they did twenty-five years ago.—Com merce Observer. And at that they are more than thirty years ahead of Marietta. In glancing over the Atlanta Jour nal Tuesday, we noticed an editorial caption, “A Long Way On A Little Gas.” We had no time to read the article, but will submit to any nifty politician that it can’t be did.”—Lyon Progress. ,Still every election time brings out a good crop of politicians who are willing to try it. Several of the State papers are outspoken against the four year term for county officers and it is not unlike ly that an effort will be made in the next general assembly to reinstate the two-year tenure. The old plan has much to commend it—especially the frequency with which it permits THE MARIETTA JOURNAL favors to go around.—Metter Adver tiser. ~ The old plan has more to condemn it, and we trust the next general as sembly will find some thing better to ‘do. l Have you seen any girls lately who }had “whitewashed chins, marshmallow noses, needle-pointed eyebrows, and ‘brilliant coloring that suggests . too ‘high blood pressure?” We}(have, and ‘we often wondered what they would think of the combination, once they saw it in print.—Columbia Sentinel. ~ Well the combination does not.look any better to us than it will sound to ‘them. We might go further and say ‘more, but what's the use? \ It is said that strike orders have ‘been received in Americus to be used ‘as a protest against the imprisonment of Mooney. Since when did we get to ‘trying folks in organizations and not courts? — Bainbridge Post-Search 'light. ; If you want the exact truth about lthis we will say that for more than a hyear there has been a disposition on the part of certain labor leaders to ;try out the temper of the American people by interference with the ’courts. We’ll further say that there is a limit to this patience. Vandals in Cedartown Vandals broke into the College street school building the other night, and either stole or wantonly destroy ed every movable thing of value. Following the burning of the high school building, which was undoubt edly the result of criminal careless ness on the part of gamblers hidden there, this certainly calls for some good detective work to put a stop to such burglarious work. — Cedartown Standard.

GILBERT & COMPANY HABERDASHERY AND SHOES No newspapers in the state are more liberal in giving space to public entertainments of every sort than those in Monroe. It is always a pleas ure for them to assist in every under taking of this nature, but after having donated the space it is no more than natural for them to expect some measure of thanks or appreciation, Frequently ‘they get neither. And our little Angora has been gotten through some recent experiences of this kind. Too many folks regard the newspaper as a mere vehicle of con veyance. They use it as a ferryboat across the deep water but doh’t care a tinker's tink what becomes of it afterwards.—Walton Tribune. TRCLLEY CAR DRVES TO CURB FCR PASSENGERS The trackless trolley car is now being adopted in- a number of small New England fowns, says the June Popular Mechanics Magazine. It re sembles a long auto bus, travels on wide, solid rubber tires, and is heat ed lighted, and propelled by electri city supplied through an ordinary street-car motor. In cost of installa tion and operation, the trackless trol ley is said to be much cheaper than its predecessor, as expensive rails, switch es and signals are unnecessary. It is claimed to be more satisfactory in performance, also, as the swinging trolleys permit divergence to any part of a 25-ft. roadway, thus allow ing the car to pass slower vehicles, avoid ruts, and even drive to the sidewalk to take on and discharge ‘passengers. ‘ li——————————————— l “Aristo” Silk Hose for Men, newest ‘and best 85c to $1.25.
