You are not doing any publisher a

LARGELY TRUE
We haven’t as much sympathy for
the Irish as some profess. When they
are in power they are tyrranous, and
when otherwise they are sullen and
unwilling to play their part like men.
They are not always good sports.
And yet we laugh with them, and
love them, and wish them well. As
a rule however when hey are given
what they ask for they don’t want it.
—Dalton Citizen.
NEW FARM TRACTOR
A new farm tractor with striking
characteristics is described and illus
trated in the August Popular Mechan
ics Magazine. It is a two-wheeled
contrivance with the connectng rod
and steering column extending far
rearward so that when a riding plow
or cultivator is attached, the farmer
occupies the seat on the implement
as if he were using horses. This ar
rangement makes it possible for one
man to drive the tractor and coatrol
the implement regardless of the kind
of work that happens to be in hand.
Ninety-eight per cent of the tractor’s
weight is balanced on the driving
wheels. This obviously aids traction
and also makes it easy to change from
one implement to another.

the
Signasre of A
KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER
Two years ago when Mr. Wilson
said there was such a thing as being
“too proud to fight,” of course he
meant that a strong and powerful
naion should be “too proud to fight”
a weak and helpless one.
But his enemies in the Republican
party and elsewhere, misconstrued
the meaning of the words and used
them for selfish purposes against Mr.
Wilson.
It is very probable that the Kaiser
construed them to mean that wé were
too cowardly to fight Germany. If
any such idea was ever entertained
seriously, it has been corrected long
ago, and the Germans may even now
have decided that they knew as little
about us as we confess we knew of
them.
It is hardly possible however, that
we could have risen as much in their
estimaton as tney have fallen in ours.
THE NEW MAILING LAW
| The new mailing law is a most won
derful thing to contemplate.
As we understand it, the prime pur
pose was to reach the Saturday Even
ing Post, and one or two other pa
triotic papers that have been doing
so much for the Government, and so
much for the people, in an education
al way, for a number of years.
The new rates make the mailing of
second class matter for long distan
ces prohibitive. ~While the average
country paper will have only about
20% raise in rates, a number of extra
duties are placed upon the publisher,
which involve his time and make only
for delay in mailing.
The Post Office force also has ad
ditional duties imposed, and taken al
together, we consider the law about
as senseless a piece of business as any
in which Congress could spend it’s
time enacting.
But because the big publishers op
posed it some Congressmen thought
it should be passed and finally it was
done.
We think it was Patterson of Cov
ington who said that it was “about as
complicated as the road to Heaven,”
and Shope of Dalton heads an inter
esting editorial on the subject, “Ter
rorizing the Press,” and winds up
with, “Any piece of legislation nur
tured in hate and passed as a result
of spite can never be expected to
serve any worthy purpose.”
We can see no need of such law
at this time and really it appears to
be worse than useless.
MILTON CO. NEWS SUSPENDS
The Alpharetta Free Press, which
for more than a quarter of a century
has been the publicity agent in Mil
ton county, is now in sole possession
of the field over there.
The Milton County News, which
was started a few years ago, has sus
pended and the probability is that it
will never resume while so good a
paper as the Free Press covers the
field.
George Rucker has labored long
and faithfully for the people of Mil
ton, and he is too good a newspaper
man to have to divide the patronage
to which his service entitles him.
May health, happiness, and pros
perity attend him.
23 YEARS AGO
In looking over an old paper we
notice. that the Southern Railway
schedule from Atlanta to Washington
was faster in 1895 than it is today,
and the excursion round trip fare
from Atlanta to Boston, Mass., was
$25.00.
That same year the electric stove
had just been invented, middling cot
ton was worth 6% cents per pound,
and eggs were.B to 9 cents per dozen.
In Marietta melons were plentiful,
cantaloupes sold at the rate of five
for a nickel, and P. O. McLain was
City Marshall.
In Atlanta the Cotton States and
International Exposition was opening,
and the escape of Will Myers, who
murdered Forest Crowley, was the
sensation of the day.
Many are the changes in even that
short time! What will the next twen
ty years bring to the world?
ALIENS
There are enemy aliens and there
are native aliens. The American who
does not do his part toward winning
the war, who neither fights nor works
nor lends for victory is as much an
alien to America’s purposes and A
merica’s cause as the rankest Prus
sian interned in this country.
This is a war of peoples as well as
of nations, and each individual has
a place and a duty.
We had hoped to be able to attend
the Press Convention at WrightsvHle
this week, but we suppose that Bill
Harris will be there or send them
word what to do.

ESTABLISHED 13 YEARS

' ROPE TOQ GOOD FOR THEM
We note that Clark Grier, a Re
publican, long of unsavory political
fame iin this state, is involved in the
Camp Hancock contract scandal in
Augusta. We can not see how such
a character could have been supposed
to have any influence with any hon
orable Democratic official at Wash
ington. &
The source of his influence there,
if ne has any, is with some hold-over
bureau chief, with whom the depart
ments are still filled, and who are
using the present opportunity for
grafting, with the knowledge that no
outery will be made against the ad
ministration at this time.
They remind us of the man of
whom Brann said, “We have one tree
in Texas on which we have hanged
thirty-seven better men, and they are
all in hell.”
ADVERTISE ONLY WHEN
YOU HAVE THE GOODS.
When that ‘“platé” advertisement
with Bill Harris’ picture looking like
he had the small pox, came out in our
paper last week, we feared he would
accuse us of slandering him, but when
we saw how it looked in his own pa
per, the Cedartown Standard, and in
a good many others, we felt safe from
his criticism. '
Then we fell to wondering just
what a campaign of advertising, such
as Harris is carrying on in Georgia,
must cost.
To have the dailies and the week
lies all over the state running his ads
day after day. The cost of the plate
matter itself must be quite a bit.
Ther the advertising agency through
wh ~h it is all placed, must be paid.
Ana che postage bill alone mygst be
enormous.
Really if Mr. Harris’ actual ex
penses in this campaign were all foot
ed up to this time, we should guess
they would exceed the sum $20,000,
or two years of his recent salary.
But of course Mr. Harris is not
paying this expense personally, and
he evidently has learned the truth of
the saying that “Advertising pays,”
and at the same time is ignoring the
fact that it only “pays” when you
have “something to advertise.” He
reminds us of the man- who adver
tised flour at half price, but never
had any flour in stock.

THE GERMAN DOCKS .
The taking over by the United
States of the title and possession of
the docks, piers, wharves, and other
shipping property on the Hudson Riv
er, owned by the German steamship
companies, the North German Lloyd
and Hamburg corporations, is greet
ed with universal approval by the A
merican people. The property is to
be retianed by the Government and
not turned back to its former owners
at the close of the war.
Purchasers of Liberty Loan Bonds
and War Savings Stamps, who sup
ply the money used for this purpose,
may feel especial gfatification. The
docks and piers and wharves are
strategic points of great importance
and value, and it is intolerable that
they should remain in enemy hands,
or that they should ever revert to
German ownership. German com
merce has been shown to have been
so indissolubly bound up with, and
so much a part of German militar
ism, that it is just and right that it
should suffer all the penalties of the
war.

The statement is a. gratifying one,
showing resources of more than a
million dollars, which will be pleasing
news to Mr. Nolan’s Marietta friends.

TIME TO THINK
The extract from the Annual Re
port of the State Sugerintendent of
Schools, which was printed in the Ma
rietta Journal recently, should arrest
the serious attention of every'citizen;
for the greatest problem confronting
any people is the education of its peo
ple. The weakness in our school sys
tem emphasized in the above mention
ed extract is one of weighty conse
quence to the entire body politic.
The teacher should be well paid.
His calling should be one of great
dignity and should be held in high
esteem. If it were so, 75% of Geor
gia’s rural teachérs would be highly
trained and efficient men. As it is
under the existing state of things, not
18% of those teaching are men, and
of this small percentage most of them
are using teaching to fill in vacation
or as temporary employment. The
average tenure for teachers is very
short. The reason lies in the fact
that a large majority of the rural
teachers have neither the training, ex
perience nor tact required for suec
cessful management of -the country
schools.
The future of our state demands
that our school system be placed on
a more efficient basis, and since so
much depends upon the teacher, re
form in the system must begin with
him.
A study of the rural educational
system in the European countries sug
gests that the teacher’s salary be such
that will make teaching a permanent
profession. As a permanent profes
sion it would require that the teach
er complete a thorough course in a
regular teacher’s training school and
possibly before assuming charge of a
school be required to teach a stated
period as a substitute and assistant.
Of course the betterment of our
rural school system depends on many
factors other than the teachers; but
the class of teachers which could be
secured by adequate pay and proper
recognition would in themselves solve
many of the perplexing problems.
Would it not be well for us to
think more about the education of
our children? In the event of its
dangerous illness we would not think
of trusting the physical life of one
of our children to the uncertain care
of an unknown of untried physician
because his services were cheaper;
vet all to often we entrust the men-.
tal, moral, and spiritual life of our
boys and girls to the inefficient care
of untried and inexperienced teach
ers. Is it through carelessness, or is
it because it is cheaper?
Let us apply the same judgement
to our schools that we employ in our
business. Have you not found that
the best is the cheapest in the long
run?
Would it not be best for us to in
vest more time and money in our
schools, and then demand more from
those same schools? .
Nothing in this article is meant to
reflect on the ability of Cobb’s corps
of teachers—they are doing the best
work in the world, and takimg half
pay in the satisfaction derived from
the knowledge of duty well done.

‘STOP EATING FREIGHT
A writer in Farm and Fireside says
in the July issue:
“To sum it all up, stop eating
freight. Transportation is the great
est problem of the war, and shipping
space the most precious thing in the
world. Above all—don’t eat from
the pantry of the Allies! With a
little planning ‘and much hard work
you can fill your pantry with home
grown foods.
“Last fall one woman who made
a survey of a five-mile circuit found
that she could get cornmeal, buck
wheat, and whole wheat flour from
a neighboring mill. She canvassed
the farmers and contracted for a win
ter supply of chickens, ducks, tur
keys, guineas, and rabbits, a small
quantity of bacon and sausage, and
even fresh fish and ells.
“When neighboring farmers killed
a beef she bought a quarter, treated
the family to fresh beef, and canred
and corned the rest. The sugar sup
ply of her family of six she cut down
to 10 pounds a month, and pieced
out this allowance with neighborhood
sorghum and honey.
“During the long hard winter her
only call on the overburdened rail
road was for a little sugar, coffee,
vegetable fats, and seasonings. This
was practical conservation. She re
lieved the railroads of useless trans
portation, saved the labor of many
hands, and developed the resources of
her own community.”
FOOD NOTES
Merchants who receive sugar cer
tificates for larger amounts than
they want to buy at one time may
split the certificatesphaving the deal
er from whom they bought to endore
the amount sold at once, the final
purchase taking up the certificate.
' People are requested to be as eco”
’nomical as possible in the use of
‘sugar, as the country must neces
sarily get along on far less than ¥
‘usually used.
There is no reason why farmers
who raised wheat may not sell it,
but the purchaser does not have the
privilege of using more than his slx
pounds per month.
