And now Uncle Jim Woodward is
trying to come back again as Mayor
of Atlanta. Who says he won’t do it?
Post Office regulations prohibit
the sendipg of coin or currency in
letters to foreign countries.
To Georgia’s shame, only forty
five other states are ahead of her in
the sale of War Saving Stamps.
England and France will be taught
to play baseball by the Sammies this
summer, and the Sammies will teach
the Germans something else.
Congressmen who do not keep in
touch with the home folks, come home
sometimes to find that things have
changed somewhat in two years.
Louisiana is the first state to vote
against National prohibition, and
there a legislature and not the people
did it. Eleven states have voted in
favor of it.
The fur business of the world,
which was almost exclusively in Ger
man hands at the beginning of the
war, is now being taken over by the
Americans.
One of the chief troubles about the
labor situation in the country is that
there are too many laborers who are
unwilling to labor.—Albany Herald.
This is the truth, the plain truth,
and nothing but the truth.
We note that the Harris organs
have learned something since last
winter, whether Harris has, or not.
They are all advising the people to
buy coal before winter, and that is
good advice too.
It has almost reached a point where
the allied commanders, in trying to
figure out where Germany is going
to launch her next thrust, play safe
by hurriedly ascertaining which town
has the most churches undestroyed.—
The Commoner.
The Marietta Journal referring to
William J. Harris, says that his mid
dle name is “Jonah.” Well if we
remember correctly, it was ‘“‘Jonah”
who swallowed the whale. — Rome
Tribune Herald.
A bright memory but it was the
whale swallowed Jonah this time.
W. J. Harris may be a Jonah, but
the Slyhoward crowd can never prove
their man a whale.—Rome Tribune
Herald.
The Press Association of Georgia
is the whale that swallowed Jonah
Harris, but they will get rid of him
all right.
Now that the whole thing up at
Washington is in a muddle, we be
lieve that the Senatorial candidates
ought to turn loose the coattail of
the President. The President has
got the biggest job that any Presi
dent ever had to handle, and dad
blame our buttons, if wé admire any
man for the Senate who wants the
President to handle his job and then
pull him through to the Senate. If
he hasn’t grit, brains, and backbone
enough to get to the Senate himself,
I'll declare to you he is not fit to
be there.—Milton County News.
That is exactly what we thmk a
bout this matter.

WELL JUST HOW LOYAL
: HAS MR. LEE BEEN?
As one of our exchanges in the dis
triet continues to praise Mr. Lee for
his great loyalty to the President and
to those measures advocated by him,
the Congressional recerd would at
this time make some interesting read
ing to those who have not kept tab
on Mr. Lee‘s patriotism as recorded
by his votes.
To begin with Mr. Lee fought and
voted against the selective draft bill
to the very last. On April 28 1917,
when the military bill was under con
sideration, (Record pages 1422 and
1434) was offered the following a
mendment;On page 5, linel9, strike
out “Volunteers or” so that the par
agraph will erad as follows; “Fifth.
Raise by draft, organize, equip and
officer, as provided in third paragraph
of this section, in addition to and for
each of the above forces, such recruit
training units as may be deemed nec
essary for the maintainance of such
forces at the maximum strength.”
Also, amand on page 6, line 16, af
ter the word “Draft” insert and all
other forces hereby authorized shall
be raised and maintained by selective
draft exclusively.” |
On the call for the yeas and nays
on these two amendments, and three
other amendments providing for the
selective draft instead of the volun
teer system, Hon. Gordon Lee cast
his vote against tehm, (Record page
1471) although these amendments
were Abministration measures and
were strongly advocated by Presi
dent Wilson.
The President also advocated and
recommended a bill prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors in the
city of Washington. Mr Lee voted
against this bill.
The President sent a message "ask
ing for Woman Suffrage and Mr. Lee
voted against this also.
It is evident therefore that Mr. Lee
has not been such a stong supporter
of the President and his policies, ex
cept in-so-far as he has had to do so.
The two letters of Congressman
Bell which we print below just about
shows the true “inside to the case,
and real motive” of the Congressmen
who voted against the Selective
Draft Bill.
Washington June 25 1917.
Mr. John G. Wood,
Auburn, Ga.
Dear Mr. Wood; :
Your letter under date of
June 21 addressed to Judge Brand,
has been handed me for reply, which
is the usual courtesy between mem
bers of Congress, and 1 daresay
Judge Brand will so write you.
Like 'a majority of the people in
your section I am also opposed to the
Conscription Act and voted against
it and did everything I could to de
feat it, but it carried by an over
whelming majority. lam glad to say
that a majority of the Georgia dele
gation voted against it. The vote
of the Georgia delegation is as fol
lows: For conscription; Adamson,
Howard, Overstreet, Vincent, and
Walker; Against conscription; Bell,
Brand, Crisp, Larson, Lee, Park and
Wise.
I think it unfortunate that the con
scription act passed as I believe that
a large majority of the people thru
out the country are opposed to it.
However, it is the law of the land and
we will have to make the best of it.
Since Russia is standing up and
getting more active, I am convinced
that the war will end within a year
and if not probably before we can get
actively into it.
I shall be glad to hear from you at
any time. With best wishes, I am,
Your friend,
(Signed) Thomas M. Bell.
Washington, D. C.,
August 13, 1917.
Mr. John G. Waeod, .
Auburn, Georgia.
Dear Mr. Wood;
Your letter received some time ago
was forwarded to me from Washing
ton to Gainsville, where I had gone
home.for a day or two, and upon my
return to Washington I was unable
to procure a copy of the Record of
April 28, and couldn’t get one until
I purchased three copies yesterday.
This shows the vote on conseription
but not the vote on the final passage
of the bill I voted and did all I could
against the passage of the conscrip
tion act but.did vote for the final
passage of the military bill which was
absolutely necessary in that war was
declared and something had to be
done to prosecute it. There was only
24 votes against the final passage of
the bill. The only opportunity for
the defeat of the conscript act was
when the vote was taken on April2B,
as will be seen by the reading of the
Record which I am sending you under
separate cover. If you desire a copy
of the vose upon the final passage of
the bill, I will do' my utmost to get
you a copy of it. With best wishes,
I am,
Your friend,
(Signed) Thomas M. Bell.

| ABSENT AND NOT VOTING.
“A movement is on foot to secure
the election of a loyalist Congress.”
-Excerpt from Washington Corres
pondence.
Yes, you can bet your bottom dollar
that there is such a movement on foot
And it is not confined to Washing
toneither. Not by a long shot. It's
right here at home. * And it’s on foot
in every state, county village and
hamlet in the United States.
The folks have watched the present
Congress as they have never watched
another since the civil war days. They
have drawn their own conclusions,
and they are in first class shape to
“)e inteligently carefull about the
%next Congress-the Congressthat will
be elected this fall.
! All of which means that mere
“self assessed” patriotism is not go
i ing to get by. Every man In the
' house and senate now who expects to
run again this fall, has got to do more
than just talk about his love for his
country. He has got to dig up his re
cent record and show what he has
done for his country.
The folks will be able to judge
what the record is worth. If it's a
clean one, then there is a good chance
for Mr. Candidate. If it isn‘t-if it is
tinged with cheap politics and petty
jealosies,even in lieu of out and out
pro-Germanism -then God help him.
Here is something to figure on in
this connection: A candidate cant sayi
simply “I didn‘t vote against the war
the draft, the shipping bill the appro
priation measures,or the Overman
bill.” He has got to make it more
than negative. He has got to show
what he worked and voted for.
He has got to prove that he has not
been an obstructionist in fact, even
if he has managed to dodge the roll-l
call in a number of cases. |
The practice of senators and con
gressmen in doing their dirty best to
the floor, and in secret “cloak room”
conferences for days on end, and then
ducking out at the last minute to a
void going on record when the vote
is taken, has become notorious.
The country knows all abou it. So
that “Absent and not voting is going
to be one of the worst possible alibis
this fall. -Macon News.
We are in receipt of a considera
ble communication from the Nation
al Model License League, which is a
sort of a branch of the liquor deal
ers association, and thé object of it
being the prolongation of the said
business liquor trade in this country.
Their arguments are so thread
bare and childish that we are tempt
ed to print them, in order to show
how little there is left of anything
to say in favor of the business.
We have come to the conclusion
that national woman suffrage is im
practicable on account of the situ
ation in the Southern states. No
other sectidbn posesses similar condi
tions. Consequently woman suff
rage should be handled locally. It
should be imposed in sections where
practicable, and not imposed on those
states that don’t want it. — Rome
Tribune Herald.
And just how do you know the
people of Georgia don’t want it? Did
Mr. Lee tell you?
When National prohibition is se
cured, there may not be so much
need for woman suffrage as there
is now, but there will be much less
opposition to it, for the whiskey in
terests have heretofore furnished the
“dough” to fight woman suffrage.
Rome and Acworth will probably
have “advertising parties” like the
one we had here for the Red Cross.

i THE DEAD LINE |
Recently quite a number of escapes
have been effected by dangerous men
who have been interned .as alien ene
mies. Some are recaptured and some
are not.
~ Evidently there has been a laxity
'in the guarding of prisoners, and on
'Saturday at Fort McPherson, one of
the interned German sailors was kill
ed by a shot from a guard who re
peatedly cautioned him back from
the “dead line.”
The chief trouble with these Ger
mans is that they don’t believe we
mean what we say. The Kaiser nev
er believed that’ Wilson would resort
to war against Germany.
The dead German from Fort Mc-
Pherson was buried in the National
Cemetery at Marietta on Monday.
We shall expect to hear some maw
kish sentiment expressed about this
shooting, but we have little sympathy
to waste on it when our boys are be
ing starved, insulted, tortured, and
murdered in the camps of the Ger
mans.
Nor can we ever forget that this
war, with all its suffering, and pain,
and hunger, and sorrow, was ‘“‘made
in Germany,” and ‘that we tried to
keep out of it, but the Kaiser would
not let us.
We muat teach the Germans that
there is a dead line which they shall
not cross. i
WE DO NOT SAY THAT
IT WAS IN MARIETTA
In a town not a thousand miles
away, where the Chief of Police and
his Deputy have been exceedingly ac
tive in spotting and capturing suit
ceses, boxes.and baskets containing
contraband liquors, this actually hap
pened to the aforesaid Hawkshaws.
It was too good to keep and one of
them told it, so we pass it on.
They had noticed the arrival of a
suspicious looking old darkey, with
what seemed to them a still more
suspicious looking covered basket,
which he handled very carefully. He
meandered up the street, into several
stores and a pool room, always keep
ing the basket on his arm, and seemed
to be casting furtive glances behind
him at the two shaddowing sleuths.
Finally the darkey seemed weary
of the burden, and he placed the bas
ket on the edge of the curb. As the
sleuths approached they discovered a
peculiar moisture about the basket
that instantly confirmed their sus
picions of contraband liquors, and
they seized the old darkey, and de
manded to know the contents of the
basket.
Trembling with fear the old dar
key replied, ‘“Fore de Lawd, Boss,
taint nothin in dis here basket, cept
two houn pups.” ;
