DEMOCRATIC LOWLINESS. It muni bo admitted, wo think, that Auttuxt i "domnoratlo government" ban novor experimented with piihtic sen tlmont In the direction of enforcing the prohibition law to the limit of the pub lic's tolerance. l-'or ourselves, we cherish the firm conviction that a more truly democratic government in Aliquot a would give us a very near approach to law enforce ment Isn't It at le at encouraging to find tint pultle senUment la re volted at the open deflanVe and aban donment of the state law under which Augusta government has been pro ceeding ? l’ublir sentiment, hat ing been tested out on the line of I'iwlessness why should it not he tested on the line of law-enforcement? The little Hotter of last Friday night can not he rcas nnahly accepted as an indication that public sentiment in Augusta will only permit a half step In the direction of -temperance, for even among those invited to attend, there was a strong expression made in favor of protesting against the defiance of the state law The point was clearly set forth that no man would he foolish enough to spend hundreds of dollars for the priv ilege of dispensing a beverage that nobody drinks and that a movement which had law' enforcement for its pur pose should necessarily begin by a low-priced lleenso for those who un dertake to noil a cheap and unpopulur beverage. We helleve this community would gladly "permit'’ the enforcement of the prohibition law. hut we do not be lieve that a movement which contents itself merely in asking for about half as much lawlessness at half the price, ts in reality a movement for law-en forcement. In fact, while it may re sult in the benefit of a less number of open ssloons - which Is without doubt a very great benefit —we cannot see that respect for law has gained a sin gle point. BUSINESS NEEDS A BREATHING BPELL. It lx nitid that the democratic lead er* of the senate and house will do all In their power to complete all neces sary business by March 4 so as to avert. If possible, the necessity of a special session of the new congress. In the absence of unforeseen exi gencies. there will be no special ses sion of the new congress, unless It oo that we are Indifferent to the Indus trial depression that la affecting bust ness throughout the entire country. While It Is true that rreaident Wilson stressed Important subjects in hts an nual address to congress. It is plain enough that the pending supply bills. If adequately scrutinised by bom branches bf congress, will consume all the time of the concluding session .if the present congress When we reflect that the present congress has lw*en in almost contlnu ous session from the beginning of its life. It Is not difficult to understand that business needs a breathing spell. Many Important enactments have be ii placed 01* the statute books and these tor the most part atfect business vital ly. So In view of the additional strain that the country must now endure as a result of war It will be better to perpdt business to adjust Itself to the new legislation than to continue tho development of polities that may re sult in prolonging uncertainty. The presence of an almost unprece dented number of Idle men through out the country create* a condition that Is peculiarly distressing and pet plexlng That the war, for which tins Country 1s 1n no way to blame. Is re sponsible for the greater part of this unemployment. Is true, but to proceed It) the direction of economic experi mentation now would necessarily ac centuate our Industrial difficulties A little legislative rest at Washington trill help much and It will lie time euough a year hence to resume the program of constructive effort that has marked the course of the admin istration thua far. =s§? y | / nMiWW •*££*>( h*T ojAITE’P- Tr -JCM6 ' «* « TIH / \ amP "THATJ V (iKeroJ m e - y £* ™ & WK —; ' i i THE FAULT-FINDING BOY.

It had only one room, the top of which seemed to run to a point, and Frank could not see the end of It. Christmas Problems A 1 I I ‘'lf I only knew what to give him” is a continual daily lamentation. Surely no harder problem of gift-giv ing confronts tho average woman than that of choosing a suitable gift for a man. Canes, stick-pins, and neckties; hand kerchiefs, cuff-buttons and gloves; socks, pocketbooks and fountain pens, are good, but they have been given with such fre quency that one sometimes longs for some thing new. The merchants who are using the ad vertising columns of The Herald are bend ing their energies toward the display of new wares for their Christmas trade. A careful study of our advertising col umns and a visit to the shops will convince the hurried and worried that "something different” and “something new” is to be found. INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad Tie was wondering why he had been brought to this place when the door opened and In came the goblins. “What has he done?" they asked the brownies. The brownies did not speak hut made signH which the goblins seemed to un derstand. "O! he finds fault, does he?*’ said one goblin. "Well, as lie Is a nice boy In every other way we can draw that fault out by putting on our famous poultice." one brownie ran to the fireplace and lighted a fire, another put a kettle over It, and the third took from a closet a number of. Jars. When the steam came from the kettle they poured the water over the contents of the jars and stirred it very fast. The goblins put Frank on the bed and one of them said "When you go home your mother will thank us fee* taking iway your fault-finding habit, for this is a sure cure." One of the brownies brought a steam ing poultice which a goblin put on one of Frank’s feet. Another was brought and put on the other foot, another was put on his head and another on his chest. "Take them away," said FVank. "They are burning me and I do not like them." "You did not like the soup tonight," said a goblin, "but it was good for you and so are these poultices. You must keep them on until all the fault-finding in you is removed," and the goblins went out followed by the brownies and closed the door. "O, dear," said Frank. "T wish I never had found fault. Help! Help!" he called, and away up In the peak of the room Frank saw a light. It came nearer and nearer. and Frank saw a fairy with a star on the end of her wand. *T>ld you call?" she asked, os she reached the floor. "Yes." answered Frank; "1 want to get away from here.” "1 will help you," snid the fairy, and she waved her wand over him, and off fell the dreadful poultices, and tho fairy took him by the hand. Up and up they went through the peaked Yoof and out Into the woods. When the fairy had taken Frank where the power of the goblins could not reach him, she said: "I have helped you because 1 do not think you intended to be a disagreeable boy, and l want to give you another chance. You must not find fault any more, and when you go to the table cat what is served and re member that there are many little boys and glr s In the wc**ld who are hungry and would be glad to have a small part of the nice dinner you have every day. If the goblins get you again. 1 may not be able to rescue you and they will put on the poultices again." Frank promised that he would not THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. How to Use Red Cross Xmas Seals Red Cross Seals should, in accordance with Order No. 6.020 of the Postoffice Department, "he affixed to the reverse side of domestic mail matter," and not on the address side of any letters or packages that are going through the mail. They may be placed anywhere on matter going by express. As many seals may he used on the back of a let ter or package as may he desired. Care should he exercised in sending merchan dise through the mails not to place seals over the strings with which the pack age is tied, since this seals the package against inspection and subjects it to first-class postage rates. Users of Red Cross Seals are cautioned against their indlscriminating use on foreign mail. Red Cross Seals in normal times may find fault any more and the fairy waved her wand and the star grew brighter and brighter. FVank opened his eyes and there was his mother beside the bed tucking the clothes ground him. • "What is the matter?" asked his mother. "I guess it whs a dream," said Frank nnd then he told her about the goblins and the fairy and how the brownies had carried him off in his dream.
