It appt-iU'N almost evident that the American boys will have to go back to Europe and chastise the Jlosches some more. Their ano nance is w ithout a parallel in the world's history. A contemporary says: "We do not believe in trying to send folks to heaven through the columns of a newspaper, or through the legis lature, but it is a good idea for them to go to church.” An editor apologized to a lady subscriber for mentioning her "big Feet", lie was writing tip her celebration and should have used the tony French word, “Fete.” lie said “he had all the letters but put them together wrong.” Cotton farmers are fighting for the independence of their business. J. Brown, Georgia’s commission er of agriculture is right, the light should he to a finish. Sell no cot ton at present prices and curtail the crop of 1919, and let tne price of your staple be fixed at home and by the owners. Senator Joe Bailey, of Texas, seems to have forgotten that tie mocracy has advanced front “Free Trade and Sailor's Bights” and other similar and obsolete polili eal doctrines. Washington, indeed, warned against America becoming entangled with foreign alliances, but Washington was not a prophet and did not foresee Germany's thirst for becoming the “Boss of the world." Clinch superior court was a very busy tribunal and worked right up to taking out time. Forty or more cases were disposed of during the term. The verdict in the Grooms case was for the Plaintiff, a very righteous one. Young Callahan was acquitted of the murder of the old Negro at Fargo; the evidence was all circumstantial. The grand jury found thirty or more true bills mostly for the violation of some phase of the prohibition law. Senator Hoke Smith will speak at the Dublin spring festival, April 9th. lie proposes to discuss the “League of Nations.” If he knows as much about the subject as he does about others of recent discussion his hearers will be de ceptively enlightened. in the face of an Act of Congress, fixing the standard of time, he tells Thomasville folks they can regu late their time to suit themselves. But, the Tribune wonders if he will tell bis Dublin bearers that he stands w ith Senator Borah in op position to the League of Nations and all of President Wilson's peace policies! The Savannah News editorial paragrapher longs for the country side those pleasant spring days, where he can have his siesta. This is forbidden iu busy Savannah. Hear him: "Discontent isn’t corn ered by any class or elan. In the country the fellows are wishing just at time of the farm-year that they were in the city and the city folk are longing just now for resi dence in the rural sections. And they'll both compromise by remain ing where they are, on their re spective and respectable jobs.” Well, what can’t be cured must be endured; be content to forego the siesta. Subscribe for your county paper and keep posted w ith events. MAY BUILD GOOD ROADS Last year congress passed a law providing for Federal aid in the building of permanent highways throughout the country. The Bill carries an appropriation of $40,000,- 000 for (Georgia providing the State shall contribute a similar amount to the project. It further provides that in the employment of labor in the performance of the work preference shall be given, other conditions being equal, to honor ably discharged soldiers, and sailors and marines, but no other preference shall be lawful. Post roads are lo receive first considera- I ion. !l was this law that has caused such a furor in Atlanta and else where in the State on the subject of calling an extra session of the legislature to put Georgia in line to secure her part, of this appr >pri alion. it was thought the State would be shut out entirely unless prompt action was taken in the matter. Gov. Dorsey saw it rlif feiontly, the Tribune thinks right ly, and declined to accede to the wishes of ils advocates. The legislature meets in less than ninety days, the necessary legislation can be enacted; it must be a constitutional amendment, and by the time the law' can be made operative, 1920 will have llown on the cycles of time. The people will have to ratify the amendment at the general election after ils passage, which will be in November, 1920. The Federal constitution gives congress (lie right (o provide for the building of military and post roads throughout its dominion, so that the $40,000,000 to Georgia and the various other amounts to other states, for building permanent post roads will be perfectly legitimate. It is no en croachment upon the rights of the States, but under the provisions of the law the two powers co-ordinate in the consummation of the desired improvement. The people of the Stales have just had a rude awakening on the necessity of permanent roads, the conservation of the people's money in providing highways of durable character. Much money has been wasted during the past ten years in building roads; the funds were inadequate and no progress could be made. The Federal aid law is welcomed by the people. It. takes them out of a hopeless dilemna. SCHOOL PROGRESS Never before in the history of Georgia has so much interest been taken in (lie education of her youth. The present and the fu ture demand it. The youth of the State must be prepared for the re sponsibilities which they are soon to assume, and parents, guardians and others having the charge of children are realizing this stub born fact more and more as the years are passing. Wide awake Boards of Educa tion are seeking to improve their system of education; changes are being made looking to the better ment of the schools and school facilities. At Statesboro the change is made to have a Saturday instead of a Monday session. In Brunswick they change from a two to a one day session. In Black shear vocational training will be added to the high school curri eulum. The Tribune favors vocational training not only in the high schools but also in every rural school. The inclination and trend of the child's —boy or girl —mind should be given earnest study by the teacher and when their prefer ence and capacity is discovered, effort should be made to arouse in terest of the pupil along his or her special line, and develop it to a degree that they will have some definite aim in life and have some vocation of which they are masters, something he or she can do and do it well, and at which he or she can at once earn a livelihood. Speaker John X. Holder will be a candidate for governor next year. Well, John, the Tribune will cou consider you when the psyeholo- Igical moment arrives.
