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 1 ST>LLt*«r * ] (NE nLENCEMBeg- l Oow<X/ m °is / ■ wHemea-we* ( ir&JWO u - | WK)W -y cm STfr.Rr// th/s »s ' £J£uoil La %*»*.*« !

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. INDOOR SPORTS ,* ,* .jt By Tad “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?

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."
