With the controversy between
the Morning News and hr. .). .1.
Taylor, pastor of the first baptist
church of Savannah, relative to
the Taylor episode in the Southern
Bapt isl < 'on vent ion at New <>r
leans, the Tribune has nothing to
do. There is a principle involved
in the incident on which tlieTri
bune will express it views. There
set'ms to be a misunderstanding
as to wlml really oecurre !. The
facts, as gathered from one who
was there, are that Dr. Taylor did
nothing that was t reasonable or
akin thereto, lie did protest that
the time and place was no 1 , suit
able fora pat riot ie demons) rat ion —
that it was a desecration of the
house dedicated to the worship of
the “ i’rinee of Peace.” With this
protest the Tribune is heartily in
accord w ith I >r. Taylor. I)r.
Cambell's patriotic address and
applause' that followed was untinie
ly and unbecoming. The conven
t ion gathered in the' house dedi
rated to divine worship to trail
suet business pertaining to the
Kingdom of Christ —a spiritual
kingdom—and temporal matters
should not have been injected into
it. The Tribune lias no doubt
that, at an another time and
place. Dr. Taylor would have en
ton'd heartily into a patriotic
demonstration. The Tribune ex
presses the' hope that this incident
will serve to deter other occurrcn
ees of a similar character and for
ever keep separate spiritual and
temporal matters. When we
entile together in the house of
Cod, may it be solely to hear t lie
old, old story, of Jesus and and his
('ross.
It is given out that Senator
Hardwick, as soon as congress ad
journs, w ill come home and go be
fore the people to justify his stand
against the selective draft bill.
The senator can do as seems best
to hint, but the Tribune sun
poets that his “explanation will
fail to explain” to average Geor
gians, notwithstanding lie was
well within his province. His
s |H‘('ch in the senate which, under
tiis franking privilege, he lias seat,
tcrod broadcast throughout tin*
State, breathes opposition and do
tianeo to President Wilson and his
IRilicios, and makes Ids motive
plainly apparent. It's dollars to
doughnuts he'll not attempt it.
The sugar supply should never
Ih' a disturbing element with
southern farmers. Every one of
them can grow sugarcane and
manufacture therefrom a splendid
grade of “C“ sugar, that can In*
kept palatable for a year or more.
It supplied southern tables during
the sixties, and can be made to do
so now.
Congressman Park lias intro
duccd a bill in congress to disfran
chise slackers during the war and
a year. The Tribune suggests
that questions involving suffrage
belongs exclusively to the States.
JUST SO!
TTio Savannah News, taking a
cue from the Tribune’s “Business
t Mitlook” editorial of last week, at
tempts to explain the situation.
It says:
“The cause of the weakness in
the turpentine market appears en
tirely due to the Jack of firmness
and assertiveness on the part of
the selling interests. The buyer,
of course, is necessarily constrained
to gel the article as cheaply as he
can. It is always so imichbefter
for him if he can a
fraction af a r*J|p«om the pre
vious price, Htffipnices his bids
a little every dnC’fcnd the seller,
limling n<> available,
simply accepts best he can
find’ instead of dKkinga stand for
what he thinks to get.
Under the <‘x9Kto- conditions,
tin* Savannah bqBP are power
less to sustain the* market. Sa
vannah factors find it impossible
to get the price above 39c, for in
stance, if the Florida sellers w ill
continue to sell for 38 l-2e. Flori
da has seen fit to enforce the
marketing of the naval stores of
that state at. Florida points, and
shippers will not buy the stuff in
Savannah as long as they can buy
it at a substantially lower figure
in tlie Florida markets.”
The explanation doesn’t explain
satisfactorily. The factors have
an eye to business on their own
account besides their storage, in
Hu ranee and commissions, and
many a cask oP turpentine lias
been reported sold that has never
been, in fact, sold; merely taken
over by the factor at the lower
prices. The manufacturing season
over, and the operators have been
forced to sell to meet their indeb
ted ness, prices immediately ad
vance and the factors reap the
harvest of the higher prices.
There is but one avenue of es
cape for the naval stores operator:
he must be able to carry his busi
ness through the season indspen
deni of the factors or practically
so. But as long as they have to
depend upon the factors to carry
them entirely, the condition
which confronts them now will
prevail.
GEORGIA’S STAR.
Do you know which star in the
United States Hag represents
Georgia! Or did you know that
Georgia had a particular star!
Well the Georgia star is the
fourth one in the top row going
from left to right, and has that
high and honorable place because
Georgia was the fourth state to
ratify the constitution of the
United States of America.
Beginning from left to right and
working across and gradually
down the stars represent each
state in the order in which they
ratified the constitution or wore
admitted into the union. Dela
ware is tile first star and Arizona
the last.
The thirteen stripes represent
the thirteen original colonies, but
no particular stripe represents any
particular colony, as all thirteen
had an equal part in the War of
the Revolution*
It is watermelon time in Georgia,
and at heart immigrant darkey
up north is lodging for Dixie and
his rod hearted friend.
The Thomasvme Times Enter
prise advises: "Eat all on your
plate and, if you don’t want to eat
it. don't put it there but leave it
for somebody that does." It is
good table etiquette even in times
of peace.
A few “slackers" are being pick
ed up here and there and landed
in jail, mostly ignorant negroes.
In this matter the Tribune thinks
they should be given a chance.
If the delinquency was through
ignorance and not a determined
policy to defy the government
they should now be allowed to
register and then given their liber
ty- Where the act is wilfull and
deliberate the penalty of the law
should be Administered.
