It lias been reeomntended for passage by the eoinniittee on eonstitut ioii al amendments. Ever sinee the office of Judge of the Superior Court was made elective ways and means have been sought to keep it aloof from partisanship. Whet her it be so or not the public can't get away from the idea that a judge, dependent upon his friends for his job, w ill be partial to them in any case in which they are in terested. The w ise men who drew the Federal constitution and pro vider! tin* machinery for the gov ernment, decided that a judge was one official who should not get of lice from the people. So they ere a ted an appointive office and pro vided that a judge should be muni naltsl by lht‘ President and eon firmed by the Federal senate. Not only that but made the tenure of such office for lile or during good behavior. The rule works well and should be adopted through out the country. I 'EARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, JULY 2<i, 1918 Weekly War News Review. The events of the past week have been one success after anoth er for the Entente Allies. The counteroffensive which Hen. Focli ins! it uf e l last week is growing in volume, is stilt in full swing, and, ill hough the advances are slow tnd made after fierce lighting, they in- pi: liiiig Ihe 1' 'us hack to the Oarti g point. In e Aisne-Marne i.'i'lo. th<- ;■drain h: s been from me to t -.Vi-! re miles. The morale of s ue French, Blit sh a .1 Amcricai troops are of the i.gin-st character, while that ol he (ioniums are decreasing. The 1. ri t.i. - are no : pressing their af acks wiii) their former vigor, 'io.-i observers are of the opinion t hat the tide of the war is turning rapidly to the Allies and, while 'Hitch hard lighting isslili in store for I hem, victory is assured for the Allies. The threatened Austro-Hungari an drive on the Italian front has not materialized and the outlook now is that it will not occur this year if ever. 'The Austrians and Hungarians have had enough of war; the morale of their troops is too low for them to do much effec tive fighting. The anticipation of the Austro- Hungarian drive on the Albania front by the French and Italians and the successful advance made, stopped the movement in its in ception. Now the Albania front is quiet and inactive. It is now an open secret that Herman high officials are more anxious for peace now than at any stage ( >f the war. It has become current that the Kaiser has asked Alphonso, of Spain, to endeavor to seelin' a round table conference, at which the warring nations could discuss peace terms, lu the face of America's ultimatum, “Uncon ditional surrender,” there is noth iug fora round (aide conference to discuss, and there is no hope for Alphonso accomplishing anything in any peace negotiations he may invite. While the Kaiser and his people want peace they hold oil, with bull-dog tenacity, to the idea of dictating the terms of peace that. ■ will be satisfactory to them. It is stated that (iermany is willing to forego indemnities and territorial accessions in the West, but insist on having a free hand in the East, and that the recent treaties she made with Bus a and Kouinania shall remain int i'late; and this, in the face of the act that she has violated every principle in them, in her recent conduct toward those unfortunate countries, (iermany’s conscience is not sufficiently im pressed v ith the solemn fact that peace terms satisfactory to the Al lied nations, dictated by President \\ ilsoii, is what w ill have to be submitted to before the dove be gins her flight. There must be an "urn ondil ional surrender." There is no way of eireumventing this condition, ;i certainty of a lasting peace. An apreement has been reached between Japan and America rela tive to joint intervention in Sibo ria, but all the details have not yet been worked out. One thing is certain. Herman aggression in Siberia w ill not be tolerated. After earnest solicitation Hov. Horsey consented to stand for election to a second term as gov ernor. He now asks the people to return the present legislature for another term because it is in ac cord with him and his administra tion. What do you think of the proposition? It is just what Pres ident Wilson is doing when he asks t he people of Georgia to elect W. J. Harris to the United States senate. The growers who had tobacco on s:de at Douglas and N'ieholls last week gave about S2OO to the American Red Cross work in Cof .fee county. This action is highly commendable. The Millwood Wait? County News has been resurrected. It shows signs of a long summer siesta. Mender how long that printer will stay with tiro. Jlerrin? Until he van get a “stake" with which to mote on? Executive Committee Meeting The State Executive Committee has fixed September 11th as the date for holding the Primary. It also fixed August 15th as the last day for candidates to qualify. I, as Chairman of the Democrat ic Executive Committee of Coflee county, call a meeting of said com mittee for the first Monday in August, it being the sth, at eleven o’clock, a. m., at the court house, for the purpose of formulating plans and regulations for holding the primary in Coffee county, for fixing assessment fees and attend ing to any other matters that may properly come before the commit tee. This ‘23d day of July, 1918. W. C. Bryan, Chairman. The Methodist Journal. Volume one, number three, of the above local church paper has reached our exchange table, and is welcome visitor. It is a real neat paper, in magazine form, of twelve pages. The corps of editors and man agers have been selected from among the young people of the several churches of the circuit, and should be a source of many ex cellent local stories of interest to the people of a wide section of country. The current number contains a couple of obituaries — one of Mr. J. A. Mouerief, by Miss Belle I’afford. and the other of Mr. Fred Ricketson, by bis niece. Miss Charlotte Ricketson. The Tribune editor commends the efforts of these Pearson young ladies at editorial composition, and suggests to them that “Practice makes perfect.” They have made a good beginning, at the foot of the ladder, and they need to veil lurk upward, onward and broaden until they (tan "Launch out iuto the deep.” They need to keep company with the best English philologists; they will find It a great source of inspiration and companionship; ennobling, uplift ing. Be self-reliant and don’t fear criticism, Don't fear labor, do your very best and not only to succeed but to excel. Pastor Tally, who is the editor in chief of the Journal, has started the young people of his churches in the right direction to make of them intelligent, excellent and useful citizens. The Dignity of Labor. It is very generally agreed that this war has developed au unnecessary quanity of red ta;ie and a policy of extravaganza that is not only bungling but extremly foolish. One big frog cries out "Loan the government your sav ing and help win the war." The little froggies take up the song and the refrain is repeated all down the line. A wrong impres sion is made; money alone cannot win the war; the war is won by what money can buy and used by able bodied soldiers. Un less the farmer tills the soil and produces sufficient food for the maintenance of the soldiers the war cannot be won. Labor also has its niche in the effort to win the war; it cannot be dispensed with any more than the money. No heed should be paid to this foolish chatter, but every man, woman and child, in what ever sphere they may occupy, do what their hands fiiid to do cheerfully and industriously. That is what it will take to win the war. 240 Pound Pigs. With corn above 50 ets. hogs eat their heads off very quickly. The hog that takes two or three months to get on full fet'd never brings you a profit. When you are ready to put your stoats on feed, begin witii the B. A. Thomas’ Rog Medicine. Vse regularly aud watch your ahoats round out iuto fat hogs in nine months —hogs going well over 200 pounds and as high its 240 pounds. Figure the average feeding and you will see why the B. A. Thomas medicine is a good investment. Try feeding out your hogs on this plan and if you are uot more than pleased, we w ill refund the cost of the medicine. Sold by Peabsox Hakdw Srojjjj, Pearson, Ga. A Misconception Corrected The enforcement of the food conservation law is fraught with many difficulties. Our people do not understand it, the interpret ations become varied.and erroneous conceptions result. This leads to severe criticisms of people who ap parently are violators of the law. Such criticisms have been directed at Pearson merchants — Henry Corbett and West & Son — the past week, because they had Consignment of flour which they declined to sell except upon the fifty-fifty plan; refusing to honor the fiour permits issued to farmers who produce substitute cereals. This was palpably a violation of the food administration’s plan of conservation and distribution, but investigation shows that the trou blc did not begin with them. The only way they could buy this cun signment of filour was to buy the substitutes with it, and they had to sell it the same way to protect themselves. West & Son realized that it was a violation of the law and they took the matter up w ith Dr. A. M. Soule, Federal food administrator, Atlanta, and they have the cor respondence to show they and Mr. Corbett have acted in good faith in the matter. Pearson merchants who are do ing what they can to supply the people with flour and sugar areen deavoriug in good faith to comply with the law and treat their cus tomers fairly under it. The embargo against the ship ment of flour into Georgia has been raised and our merchants will in future buy flour direct from the mills and will be in shape to abide the ltrw and serve their customers in accordance with it. The American Fighters. “The funniest thing of the comb at was the dash of the Americans,” writes Lieut. Entraygues, the so cial correspondent at the front for the Temps, in describing the open ing of the great counteroffensive. "It was a line thing to see those grand fellows, with their tunics thrown off and their shirt sleeves rolled up above their elbows, wad ing the rivers with the water to their shoulders and throwing themselves on the Boche like bull dogs." “Anyone who has seen such a sight," he goes on, “knows wliat the American Army is good for, henceforth and to the end of the war. At the sight of these men, magnificient in their youth, physi cal force, good temper and dash, the Germans tied 'with every leg’ or surrendered without waiting the order to throw away their arms and take off their suspender which is the first thing a prisoner is told to do in order that he may be compelled to keep his hands employed and out of raisclief. "The Germans hurried toward our lines gripping their trousers, haggard and mad with terror. "Would that every mother in France who has lost a son in the war could have seen that epic sight. They would have seen themselves revenged and it would have been some consolation to them in their sorrow."
