THE COUNTY UNIT PLAN.
Now that th«- county unit syotein Ih
up for dlicUMlon w« ask every non !
partisan, and Impartial one of our]
render* to look nt It nnd decide, for |
tlteriselvfs without reference to any
of the candidate., now Htrlvlng for of.
flee—if ll U n junt and equitable ays
teni.
• It la most unfortunate thnt the
county unit plan comes Into court
only at times when the average man
is warmed up to a political contest
and prejudiced tor or against the
plan as It affects his particular choice
among the candidates. We hope this
issue will not die down. livery man
In Georgia ought to nee nnd under
stand the county unit plan Those
who like It ought to know why they
like it. Those who nre opt osed to It
ought to give their reasous for option
ing It. To understand this Issue Is
more importan t than to know who to
choose for senator umi who to choose
ior governor,
Is It ,a Democratic ay-tem?
i*oes It give every man In Georgia
an equal right ir. the election of Geor
gia's officers?
Is It voting by men or voting by
territory- nnd why should we vote
by terrltor' In a republic?
Those ure questions to be houestlv
considered
We can afford now an 1 then to
make mistakes In those we send to
the state and national capitals to at
tend to our public affaire, because
such mlstakis can be somewhat
e -ally rectllh d, but we eHnuol afford
to carry on self government with a
machine which works unfairly and
upjus.iy. AY caiubl afford to fix up I
a system that gives a special advan
tage to the sparsely settled country
districts, because we cannot afford
to practice favoritism. It is the prac
tice of special advantage ant special
privilege that blinds men to all the
great principles of right and Justice.
We cannot build up an honest, de
cent minded clitienry in this slate
under a system which accustoms
them to Injustice atul unfairness and
that is what tue county unit stands
for.
GOSPEL OF DEMOCRACY.
Harper'* Weekly ask* why It 1*
that since the Civil War, the intellec
tual quality of American life has t>ecn
below the level of most of our cMl
ized coiutusiltornT —"Below Kugi-la,
lor example, in spite of her despot
ism; below Germany in science, his
tory. drama,, fiction, foreiau trade;
below tfwitierlgnd ami IVnmark in
liolltics and sqclal progress 7"
This is an inlereatlni Irohlem. It
should b* remembered Ural when the
civilization of the Old South was
wiped away by the victory oT the
Northern state*, there died out then
and there, in influence upon the coun
try, the culture, sentiment and Ideal
ism of a section which, thouich
wealthy, was in no wise commercial
nor materialistic.
The New South, reallainK the neces
ally for a truffle against poverty has
become imbued with the commercial
ides and has grown and developed
under commercial and industrial en
terprises All this Is creditable to
the South, but at the same time the
South has lost something in its in
dustrial and commercial success,
which It never lost In its failure lo
win tta fight against the North. This
loss is a loss no less to the entire
country than to the South itself
Harper'a answers It* own question
by saying that the failure of this
country to reach the Intellectual
level of other countries is "Probably
because we have been too much Inter
ested la weath too little in Ideas and
Ideals.” Bui Harter's thinks the tide
has turned and that the Influence of
greet nrmcple* and big deals Is now
upon the country . In other words we

7 HE WAYS OF THRIFT
N£W STANDARDS OF BUYING.
A tmißrt young woman In Philadelphia married a grocery clerk who
worked fourteen hour* a day for sls a week—but who kept both eyes wide
open. Prom him she soon learned that some fumilles were apparently
as well fed as others wlileh Spent three times hh much ut the grocers and
butchers.
Then she set about finding out from him nnd hy herself how this was
dime and she Is In the one-thtrd-ae-much class, $4 a week for groceries
and meals. Here Is her set of rules bused on both sides of the shop
keepers counter:
"The watch d"g for every kitchen Is a set of family scales; the best
protector against short weights. Don't run a grocery hill If you can pos
sibly pay cash you will he surprised to see the difference It makes In
the amount you buy. Don't let the grocery clerk call more than three
times a week twice Is better If your family is small and your memory
good. Keep a few chickens If possible, enough of- them to eat the garb
age. Don't let the merchant do your ordering for you —you know better
than he what your needs are and the size of your pocketbook. Meat but
once a day. buying only the cheaper cuts- -pots roasts, beef and lamb
slews, chopped meat, occasionally sausage and corn-beef; seldom ever
steak or legs of lamb. I .ant. hut not least, do not get on the grocer's
'easy' list. If he discovers IHat you are good natured and accept anything
he offers, your kitchen will soon he dumping ground for unsaleable
goods." .
Much of the need for charllyls found to he due to the extrava
gance of poverty. An officer of the Juvenile Court In Chicago related
to the directors of the American Society for Thrift how a widow spent
her first month's pension of SSO. They hud always been,poor. having
Purely tho necessities for life. Hut with the first SSO she bought white
dresses, white shoes and white stockings for her little girls Long be
fore tho month whs ended this family w-aa hungry, needing food and fuel.
Families living on small salaries are found to ho buying crackers and
cereals In fancy packages Instead of better In bulk. In New York City
housewives living In small apartments pay a quarter for a little basket of
potatoes which are only enough for two dinners.
are In revolt against the (treat bus!
iickr Hli is which have dominated the
‘country for two generations, we are
beginning to see something else thiui
business, shrewdness and keen calcu
lation "when” says Harper's, "a nation
Is aroused with s-me general apirlt.
It often shows It in the by-products
ot literature «r.d art. You can trace
this truth In Greece. Italy, Holland,
England. The United State* Is now
a roused along one line of professed
Importance. It Is trying to make Its
life more lust, more kind, we may
say mere Christian. It la embittered
against the la> mnd. which is In It*
orlßtn the mind of the person who
has a special advantage and fonrs to
lose it. We are ceasing to confine
our splrtual remarks to an hour on
Sunday morning. We are beginning
to see a little nctual aense In talk
about brotherhood We are begin
nlng to try to apply It a little. The
change shows In our politics. It I*
the basin of the most notable legisla
tion of today It stirs business men.
It Is leading the clergy to throw their
churches open to arguments of the
disßatl-fled. It Is trying to porsuale
even lawyers and Judges to recon
sider the | rocedure they have built
up and the phrases of which they
have been the slaves It Is leading
us to examine our schools and col
leges and try to tiring It about that
they do more to fit the average boy
and the average girl tor the duties
of the average life."
"And,” says Harper's, “as every
time must have a gospel, If It Is to be
a noble, productive time, we are
developing the Gospel of Democracy.
Democracy does not mean playing on
the weaker souls of the multitude. It
means getting at the underlying
needs and thoughts of the multitude.
It means constitutionally Interpret
ing the multitude. Our country Is
now watching a contest between the
iove of money, of luxury, of special
advantage on the one hand; and hu
manity, light, and truth, on the other
We will be a just country if this con
test reaches a white best of faith
This will be a great country if we live
up to the phrases which we all use;
of what we think we also dare."
These are hearty and Inspiring
words and we believe them to be a
true Interpretation of the signs of
times. The spirit of the day Is In
revolt against the theory that wealth
brings nobility and that might means
right
Those who are leaders and spokes
men of this goeiel of IVmocracy are
apt to Incur the sniffling contempt
of the "practical business man" and
the “practical politician." but they
are making their dream come true,
nevertheless. They are proving that
honeaty In politics and In busness la
practical aud that progress and en
lightenment can be brought about by
general prosperity and general edu
cation. better than by that "dlsbail
dlng" prooaas which rroduco* Us large
snd glided ros<a at the expense ot
the numerous street blossoms which
are called to life by the forces ot
nature.

“LOW-BACKED CAR”
AKi IRISH song;
Was Written by the Grand
father of Victor Herbert
of Comic Opera Fame.
You believe in heredity, don't you?
Heredity Is that mysterious something
which makes you do things because
your fnther or your grnndfather did.
Heredity Is great stuff when It takes,
but. like vaccination, It does not al
ways take.
You have heard of Victor Herbert,
the composer of “Madeleine." a new
one act grand opera which the Metro
politan Opera Company produced thla
season. He is the earns Victor Her
bert who wrote "The Wizard of the
Nile.” “The Idol's Eye.” "The For
tune Teller" and ever so many other
comic operas, but he rannot help writ
ing music. He Is a victim of heredity.
Herbert's father was musically In
clined, but his grnndfather was a reg
ular "Home-Run Huker" In the game
of writing words and music.
Victor Herbert's grandfather was
Samuel Dover, the great Irish poet and
composer. One of Samuel I .over's
deathless songs. "The Dow-Hacked
Car." has been eung round the world
Samuel‘Dover's grandson will have to
go some to put over a song which will
Rsln the worbl-wlde popularity of
"The Dow-Hacked Oar." This famous
and very delightful Irish song, with all
your other favorites, will be found In
The lterald'e new and artistically
