Kntered at the PoHtofficc In Pearson, Georgia,
as mall matter of the second class.

All hall to the American eagle,
Proud bird of freedom, all hall!
Thy HpotlcKM name no man can I nvelgle,

Tin* government estimate of the
rollon rrop proves a fake, a reac
tion lias taken place and prices
arc going upward and the Tribune
expects il to be selling at 30 cents
for short staple before the new
year Let the farmers hold a stiff
upper lip and their cotton.
The peace test, as promulgated
by President Wilson, is ‘'based
upon the faith of all the people in
volved or merely upon the word of
an ambitious an int riguing govern
ment, on the one hand,and a group
of free peoples on the other? This
is the test which goes to the root
of the matter; and it is the test
which must be applied.”
The best way to accomplish any
thing is to take hold with a vim
and never to t urn loose until you fin
ish (he work in hand. There is no
bit of work but lias two ends,'alpha
and omega, and both can be found
by doing energetically and persist
ently what your hands find to do.
If anything is worth doing at all,
it is worth doing well; and the
greatest reward is the satisfaction
of doing something well and doing
something worth while.
There are some of our newspaper
brethren who are inclined to “cuss”
out what they are pleased to term
"free publicity rides” and, at the
same time, permit and actually en
courage the free riding to be done
in their columns. The Tribune’s
policy is not to allow “free riding"
in its columns and to let the “free
rider” seveiely alone; the public
would never know lie exists from
its columns. Church and school
notices, within reasonable bounds,
is permissible. The Tribune pro
poses to lx* loyal to the community
and people whom it serves; their
interest are its interests, and its
interests should lu> their interests.
Both newspaper and people should
work together harmoniously.
Attorney-General Walker lias
complimented the Tribune with a
copy, in pamphlet form, of his
opinion on the question of “Search
Warrants" in connection with the
enforcement of the bone-dry prohi
bition law. Ilis opinion coincides
with the judgment of Judge W. E.
Thomas, of the Southern circuit,
in the Passmore ease. But he eon
eludes that search warrants can is
sue and searches made for other
reasons than searching for stolen
goods, and that searching for ille
gal holdings of liquor is legitimate
it|»on a proper search warrant. The
language of the statute and careful
warning contained in his opinion
seem to admonish the officials that
unless care is observed much trou
ble may arise in the exercise of
the power even when clothed with
the authority of a search warrant.
The positive averments required in
the affidavit, upon which a search
warrant may issue, will make otfi
eials and people hesitate to stand
back of it. The affiant must swear
that he has probable cause to be
Hove that certain specified and do
scribed liquor is secreted at a cier
tain Ni>ooified and described place,
and name the owner of such place.
Herein is the deficiency of the
bone-dry law which the Tribune
has heretofore endeavored to point
out. In the enforcement of the
prohibition law. unless you are ex
eeedingly careful, you will trespass
uikhi some other equally as impor
tant statute. This should not be;
our system of laws, especially our
criminal laws, should not be sub
ject to entanglement the one with
the other.
PROGRESS OF WAR
The Argentine congress has
adopted a resolution favoring a
rupture with Germany, and now it
is up to the President of this
South American republic to fin
ally settle the question. At any
rate Luxburg, the German ambas
sador, has had to leave the Repub
lic, so exasperated were the people
because of bis diabolical effort to
misuse Argentine neutrality. The
President may await the German
reply to the Argentine demand be
fore acting. There can be no
doubt that there will be not only
a rupture but Argentine troops
will be sent to Europe if for no
other purpose than to secure for
that republic a seat in the peace
council when the war is ended.
The anomolous situation in Rus
sia is without parallel in the
world’s history. The spectacle
presented is a thoroughly disor
ganized populace throughout Rus
sia, yet her army is remaining loy
al to her allies and are keeping
hundreds of thousands of Austro-
German troops entertained and
preventing their use on the Austro
Italian or western fronts. Thenum
ber of Austro-German troops facing
the Russians are variously estimat
ed to be between three and four
million. This immense host not
withstanding strenuous efforts to
do so, are prevented from advanc
ing.
The British and French govern
ments, in answer to current reports
in liussia, have assured the provis
ional government that they have
no intention of concluding a sc pa
rate peace with Germany to the
detriment of the Russian republic.
German emissaries have scattered
this canard broadcast throughout
Russian territory.
During the past week compara
tive quiet has prevailed along the
Austro Italian front. The only
activity reported is the explosion
of a mine by tin* Austro-Hungar
ians in the Trentino sector, tint the
Italian barrage fire prevented their
making any gains. The Italians
have thoroughly established them
selves on tin' Bainsizzi plateau
about ten miles from Tries!.
German aircraft have made
nightly attacks on British terri
tory during the week, but no very
serious damage have resulted.
The last attack was very weak.
Fighting continues vigorous in
the Ypres and Verdun sectors of
the eastern front. Despite des
perate bombardments and assaults
the British and French have held
and established themselves in the
new positions gained.
Another German diabolism has
come to light from Bucharest.
Upon 11k* declaration of war by
Koumania against Germany the
American legation took over Gor
man interests in that country.
Soon after it was discovered that
quantities of powerful explosives
and boxes of deadly microbes had
been clandestinely secreted about
the German consulate. This de
viltry were to be used to destroy’
horses and cattle. Had the plot
not been discovered early suspicion
would have fallen upon the Amer
ican government.
News have been received that a
section of the American coni in
gent in France is near enough to
the firing line that two of their
number have been wounded by
pieces of German shell. It is said
the young Americans are eager to
take their places w here they can
get at the enemy, and it takes
persistent efforts upon the part, of
officers to restrain them.
Black Don’t Show to Advantage.
“Yaas'm!” said Miss Gladys Wash
ington, a Vine street belle, in reply to
the saleslady’s repetition of her re
quest “I wants a pa'r o’ silk stock
ings, and—loogv yuh! What's dem
things yo' showtn’ me? Say, ’ooman,
what Vlnduh display would black silk
stockin's make on a cullud lay'»
