A number of papers throughout
the country are making a fight on
Hearst and his publications. In our
opinion, next to fighting the Huns,
this is a most patriotic business.
Sorry we could not get down to
the Press Convention. Bill Harris
was not there, and they say he did
not even send werd to the boys what
to do. Politics was taboo this time—
a pity it had not been the last time.
We congratulate our neighbor, The
Cobb County Times, on winning the
Mergenthaler Linotype prize.
Bryan says we can afford to make
a present of all the whiskey in this
country to Germany; that it was the
looting of French wine cellars and
drunken German soldiers that saved
Paris in the first great drive of 1914.
In these days of heat and perspi
ration remember the “heatless days”
and get thyself some coal and wood.
Folks who come very near getting
our goat are those who want some
thing and won't ask for it, but by
grumling and complaining and look
ing mad want you to guess what it
is and pass it to them.—Dalton Citi
zen. |
Yes, and compared to the above
class we arc sincere admirers of the
fellows who disagree with you and
fight you openly.
The German government had bet
ter hurry up and tell the people that
there are a million Americans in Eu
rope, before they jump to the con
clusion, based on recent experiences,
that there are two or three million.
—Macon News.
. The latest liquor argument says,
“No beer, no milk,” and contends
that the by-products of the brewery
are necessary to feed cows, which is
as reasonable an argument as any
others the liquor people ever put up.
We hear that we are being criti
cizéd in certain quarwers for carrying
advertisements” of Hardwick’s speak
ing dates, They are paid ads, just
as were those of Shaw, Dean and
Harris, and in the same way we
would carry cne of Howard, if offer
ed us. As a publicity organ, we can
only bar the profane or abscene.
Every real newspaper has this rule,
and it is right.

InUse For Over 30 Years
l : OUR NAVY
The U. S. Navy has now above a
half million men, and they are equal
in efficiency to any other men who
have ever been in our navy, which
means that they are superior to the
personel of any other navy in. the
world.
And remember the much abused
and maligned Josephus Daniels is the
man who made it so. When he took
office he began at the bottom to in
vestigate the needs of the navy, and
one by one he has put into effect
reforms, that have gone to make it
an honor, instead of a reproach, to
belong to the navy.
Enlisted men are given a chance
to study and fit themselves for ad
vancement in the navy, or for the vo
cations of civil life.
Prohibition in the navy applies to
officers as well as men, and this per
haps had much to do with increasing
its efficiency. ‘
And it is not a “milk and water”
navy either for even the most ram
pant whiskey papers have ceased to
point the finger of scorn or to argue
the wisdom of a ‘‘dry” navy.
All honor to Secretary Daniels and'
the Unites States Navy. |
OUR OLDEST ADVERTISER
While looking ever some very old
local newspapers the other day, we
were struck with the fact that only
one of the advertisers of forty years
ago, is today represented in our col
umns.
This one is Phillips and Crew Piano
Company of Atlanta.
Many other firms have come and
gone in that time. Even the patent
medicines, like Brown’s Iron Bitters,
for example, are no more, but the
above firm is a living example of
what judicious advertising and square
dealing will do, and we would com
mend them to our present day read
ers.
A STATESMAN AND A
PATRIOT BY PROXY
Says the Marietta Journal: “Bill
Schley Howard was a volunteer in
the Spanish-American war. Where
was the great patriot William Jonah
Harris at that time.” Well, he was
not at Tampa, Florida, fighting sand
flies and eating ice cream. Further
more William J. Harris has three
brothers now in the United States
army and this is a real sure enough
war, too.—Rome Tribune-Herald.
PLATINUM NEEDED
They say that platinum is very nec
essary to the manufacture of instru
ments for airplanes, for big guns, for
explosives, and many other things
needful in war.
1t is further stated that the supply
of the world’s platinum is chiefly in
Russia; that the Government may be;
short of actual needs if not supplied
soon. .
Platinum _has been an expensive,
but a favorite metal, in the manufac
ture of jewelry in recent years, and
much of it is now in this shape in
this country in the hands of wealthy
people.
It is possible that they may be able
to show their patriotism by selling
or giving this metal to the Govern
ment for the manufacture of war
materials. It certainly should be a
vailable in case of necessity.
Judge Andrew J. Cobb, of Athens,
and Gov. Hugh Dorsey are staunch
supperters of Hon. William J. Har
ris. They are both towers of strené‘th
in his candidacy.—Madisonian.
Even so, but strong supporters
can’t make a weak man strong.—Cov
ington News.
And at that we have never noticed
anything Dorsey has said in suppert
of Harris.
Secretary Daniels had all the bet
ter of the argument with Edwin Hur
ley and Bainbridge Colby. The lat
ter gentleman told the semate com
mittee that enforcing prohibition a
round the shipyards would result in
a greatly lessened efficiency because
of the ill feeling it would rouse in the
breasts of the men. They admitted
that this was merely an opinion. Mr.
Dasniels said that he had enforced
prohibition in the navy and at some
of the shipyards in dry states, and it
had increased the efficiency of the
men. Mr. Hurley and Mr. Colby un
doubtedly meant well, but they had
been confining their reading to ma
terial printed by the brewers.—The
Cemmoner.
After claiming the distit‘c.tion of
being the candidate who ‘‘whipped
Senator Thomas W. Hardwick to a
frazzle,” Hon. Cinder-Bill Harris now
alleges that the race is between Har
ris and Harndwick. We don’t under
stand all we know about this.—Cov
ingon News.
When Harmis was saying hat the
“wish was father to the thought.”
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
SOME RULES FOR SUCCESS
George Reynolds, a well-known
Chicago banker, says in the August
American Magazine:
“To sum up, therefore, these are
the essential rules, as I see them:
“Choose your life work early.
“Make your own rules of conduct
early.
“Choose your friends carefully.
“Do more than the routine work of
your job.
“Decide quickly in all matters, and
act promptly.
“If right, ignore criticism; if
wrong, change without delay.
“Practice economy. Be neither ex
)travagant nor niggardly.
~ “Avoid depending upon your
friends. - Give as much as you re
ceive from them.
“Practice diplomacy—it smooths
the rough spots and gives you the
advantage on the next move.
“Cultivate cheerfulness, to enable
you to carry the necessary and throw
off the unnecessary burdens.
“Indulge in sufficient play and re
creation to keep the body strong and
the mind vigorous.
“Be square with yourself as with
those with whom you are associated.”
ARE YOU A TREE—OR A BUSH?
In an article in the August Ameri
can Magazine, a writer says:
“The ‘all-around’ man is, I suppose,
the highest type of human product,
because he is able to meet all kinds
of people on terms of mutual inter
ests and understanding. But—well,
guess it is the difference between a
tree and a bush. A bush starts to
put out branches from the ground up.
But it never gets very far
It is a pleasant object, a nice bush is.
But it never gets very far. A tree
has one central trunk, which stands
like a pillar of steel against all the
buffets of storm and stress. And it
goes on, up and up; climbing, ever
climbing higher. The branches are
fine enough. But they are not the
tree! The thing that stands and gets
somewhere, and holds together the
whole growth, is the cc.tral trunk.
That, to my mind, is Purpose.”
WHAT DANGER CAN DO
There is an article in the August
American Magazine in which a writer
says:
“DangBr is the best teacher in the
world. It can teach a boy to swim.
It can make a man out of a careless
youth in 'a day. It can transform a
timid woman into a raging lion. It
is the test of human mettle. It is
the developer of human souls.
“Danger has made the American
people thrifty overnight. We have
subscribed for Liberty Loans of stag
gering size. Yet the amount of de
posits in the sayings banks has not
decreased. What all our preaching
and warning could not do, Danger has
done.”
EVERY WORD IS TRUE
AND WE ENDORSE IT
The Tribune-Herald is informed
that there is a moevement on foet in
the Georgia legislature to cut off the
$20,000 appropriation heretofore
given to the “Woman’s Economical”
department of the Georgia Normal
and Industrial College located at
Milledgeville. In fact such a recom
mendation appears to have already
bden made by the House committee
on appropriations.
While we are not informed as to
the reason for this action, we do
most earnestly and since;ely urge
that this money which has been used
for the purpose of instructing the
young women of Georgia in the sci
ence of economics be wot taken away.
~ If there is anything that the wo
men of the state should be taught
11'ight now above everything else it
is “Economics,” and that is a mat
itex' that a large proportion of them
know very little about.
' The trustees of this school are
\pret&ting against the recommended
action and we think rightfully so.
[ As a matter of fact we don’t think
"that any of the usual appropriations
\for the Georgia Normal and Indus
trial College should be cut off. This
is one of the most valuable educa
tional institutiens in the state, and
jevery department should be operated
to the fulles advantage.
‘ Cutting off this $20,000 would be
poor economy in our opinion, and
ithe Tribune-Herald gladly joins in a
loud protest against such action.

| MOTHERS IN WAR TIME
A beautiful preface by Maurice
Maeterlinck to a series of powerful
French war ‘pictures by, S. Levy
Dhurmer, contains the following:
~ Their sons are taken from them at
life’s fairest moment, when their own
lives are on the decline. And yet,
our mothers do not weep as have the
‘mothers of other wars. We know
not what sustains them and gives
‘them the strength to bear the remain
der of their life. Some among them
have other children, and we can un
derstand how they lavish upon them
the love and the future which death
has cut short. Many have never lost,
or else they try to recover their faith
in the eternal promises. But so many
others, whose dwelling is forever des
olate, seem to entertain the same hope
as those in whom hope has always
been alive.—Red Cross Magazine.
STOP, LOOK, AND LISTEN
Stop! Recall how the brave Rus
sian armies were defeated for lack
of guns, munitions, and supplies. The
Germans laughed at the Russian Gov
ernment’s failure to stand by its
fighting men. Let them have no
such mirth at our expense! Give our
Government the support of our peo
ple, our resources, and our money, S 0
that it can arm, equip, supply, and
maintain our fighting men at the
very highest point of efficiency!
Look at the war map and see what
absolute devotion of a nation’s re
sources to military purposes has ac
complished for the enemy! Increase
production and lend money to the
United States, so that our support of
our fighting forces willequal if not
surpass that of Germany! It is bet
ter to spend our money that way
than in paying Germany’s war bills.
Listen to the call of duty and pa
triotism, and economize! Do your ut
most in every way to win the war by
increased production, by decreased
consumption, and by lending to the
‘Government. Let nonessentials go;
make sacrifices! How little and in
consequent they are compared with
the great purpose they help to attain!
How well worth making they will
appear when our troops come home
victorious—victorious by their own
courage and ability, backed by the
unselfish whole-hearted support of
their Nation. '
An exchange asks, “Does advertis
ing pay?”’ Yoy might as well ask,
#“Does success succeed?”
