A strong effort will be made to produce a paper that will be interesting and desirable to all. Let us have your subscript ion ! B. T. Ai.i.kn Editor. 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.
