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.

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.

To Detect Coloring Matter.
To ascertain whether artificial color
ing matter has been added to tea,
place a small quantity of tea on a
piece of white paper, and rub with an
ordinary table knife until the loaves
become a fine pow der. Now brush the
paper with a bristle brush, and if any
j Prussian blue has been used for color
; lng purposes there will be little streaks
gf this all over the paper.
