jOld Georgia is the toast of all Geor
gians at the moment.
We like some fellow who
knows to tell us the difference be
tween a dinner and a banquet.
The 'former emperor of Germany
shown that he is still thrifty. He is
dismissing the members of his retinue
to meet his diminished cash receipts.
The telegraph companies and ca
ble lines will reap some rich harvest
when the lArmament conference gath
ers, especially, if the diplomats agree
to disagree.
With park benches already at a
premium in all of fhe larger cities,
we are afraid those strikers will have
tsmno trouble in getting comfortable, If
they do put over that ratio rad strike.
Now then, Kormesaw told Babe not
to play that gkme of baseball in vio
lation of the rules. Babe has played,
now what’s to happen and who is who
in jtho manly sport?
Why all of thin advance dope about
the failure of the Armament confer
ence? Has the baby been strangled
to death in the very beginning of its
life. In fact, # ln advance of it?
Woodrow Wilaon la to it at tho
right hand of tho I’roUdcut on th;
cfcfudon of the Armistice day pro
gram In Washington. It would ho
well for th*> President If ho could
always have him thorn.
When you come to think about It.
It Is hard for a Republican congress
to pass u tax revision measure and a
tariff uct. It Is too much like a di
rect blow at the very cltidel of the
party.
I’hew, but what would Teddy Roose
velt do. 1 fhe were In the presidential
office at the moment that the great
proposed rail strike Is called? With
a solid congress behind him. we shud
der to think'of what would happen to
th strikers.
The one great.* big. absorbing thing
before the people of Brunswick and
Glynn county to<l a.' Is teat St. Simon
bridge. It is freighted with so mhch
for tho community and is so fu* r etch
ing by it* benefits, that we cannot af
ford to forget it for moment.
It Is inconceivable that at tills crit
ical stage of the commercial and in
dustrial situation In the United States
that such a tsrlke should be called,
as Is the one scheduled to occur on
October 80. We say it is tnooncetv*-
ble and It really look* Impossible and
yet in the language of one of the
beads of the union "the die is cast."
We bope—we cannot get away from
the hope— that something will happen
to prevent this tragedy, for tragedy it
is and wo believe shat this will occur

ONE WAY TO HELP BUSINESS.
Just at the moment when a vast
percentage of the business men of the
whole country are bent on fin-ling
some way to stimulate the situation,
any reference to aids are of necessity
very interesting.
Of late we have /heard many solu
tions for the present rather complex
state of affairs, but the esteemed Co
lumbus Enquirer-Sun of Sunday, car
ried the following rather brief editori
al on the subject, which to our way
fcf thinking a very large
quantity of common sense and the
remedy suggested is applicable to
every town and city in the country.
It is easily worth rending and her?
it is: <•
“The Boot and Shoe Reporters ten's
us of one way to help business. Ev
ery man, it says, who pays his debts
promptly helps business for himself
as well as for everybody else, and de
clares that this is a consideration
well worth keeping in mind in these
days when money as well as labor
has demanded higher wgges—that is
to say when interest rates have risen.
The Boot and Shoe Reporter contin
ues:
“It is the active dollar that
keeps business moving. The fact
that the great bulk of business is
done by check does not in tbo
slightest degree alter the truth cf
the foregoing statement. The
check must be backed by value
somewhere. There must always
be a tangible basis fOr the in
tangilbe commodity called credit.
‘lt does not require any deep
ly-learned dissertation on finance
to convince every practical per
son of this. Every business man
knows the truth of it. It ought
to be considered a duty, there
fore, to keep money circulating
as promptly as possible. If every
merchant in the United States
who does a business were
to ginger up the collection depart
ment to get “the active dollar
habit” started in town and then
pass on the activity in the way of
discounting his bills, or at least
meeting . them with absolute
promptness, It would make a big
difference in thfe general activity
of business. * ' . *
“The Inactive dollar is of no real
benefit to a community or a country;
that is to say, the dollar that is hoard
ed; the me that is put away beneath
the bricks in the fireplace or hidden
in a box somewhere about the house.
It, of course, gives the owner of it
a feeling of protection against adver
sity, but it does not real puhllc good.
The only dollar that helps business is
the dollar that circulates from one
person to another; the one that pays
debts and helps to buy food and cloth
ing.
“One dollar may be made to do
much work in a day. It can pay half
a dozen or more debtp, and buy food
for the family, and finally it can help
tho man who sold the food to pay his
debts and in turn help others pay
theirs, and so on.
"The check that is worth anything
is backed by money on deposit, and
money on deposit is active. It ntands
against the check that has been writ
ten. Money on deposit also is put in
to the channels of trade. The sav
ings bank takes the money for which
It pnys yon Interest and It lends It
at interest so as to be able to pay
vou interest when It is due and to
keep the wheels of business and in
dustry turning.
"Kvery person who owes debts and
can pay them should do It- It Is his
duty to the business conftnunlty to do
It. He owes it to the man who has ex
tended him credit to pay him so that
he may also meet his obligations and
keep his business going.
"It is true that sometimes a fellow
gets to the point where he cannot
meet his obligations of this kind a*
promptly as he would like to do. but
many who fall to do it, can do it, and
they should.
PREACHING IT STRAIGHT!
If there was evey a political party
that scattered poison gas from Cali
fornia to Florida during a presiden
tial campaign, la an effort to win back
popular approval * and regain power
it is the Republican party and th*
campaign of I*2o was the occasion.
Spell binder* preached the f >*pel
of hate from, every stump in the na
tion and v:tin|lorious and empty prom
ise* wen* held out to the electorate,
if it woudt only return the Republican
party to power and to the pie table.
Well, the American people are easy
to foot and this sort of a campaign
won. Out went the Democrat* and ?r
came the Republican* aud vet rot
one campaign pledge has been re
deemed. Instead of a decrease in tax
ea Republican majority in tht
t
that *hcm ,V<g one act of
this Republican lonjerc*# ha* been
passed for the r‘it*( of the common
people, whi'e the Ferdney tariff bit:
14 icerely In th- interest of Wal
#*r*-ef, '
Hm there is ReouMicae in the
house from St. Paul, Minn., who talks
plain and who has trimmed his col
leagues in congress to our entire fan-
His name is W. L. Kellar aqd
a few days ago he issued through the
Associated Press a strong diatribe
against the Republican party and its
present-status.
An Associated Press telegram incor
porating the statement of- Congress
man Kellar is as follows:.
“;An attack on the administration
generally and on the House ways and
means committee particularly for its
handling of the tariff and tax ques
tions is made in a statement issued
today by Representative Kellar, Re
publican of St. Paul, Minn., author of
four tax revision bills which have
been indorsed by organiations of
farmers aiftt others.
“Mr. Kellar charges that ‘the ma
chinery of government has been com
mandeered by a little clique, ignorant
of the A, B, Cs of economics whose
blind obedience to Wall street is re
sponsible for the stupid, selfish, short
sighted policy that is retarding our
prosperity and creating profound dis
trust and discontent among the peo
ple.’ , , *
“Declaring that most members of
the House want to carry out the peo
ple's wishes with regard to taxation
and other economic questions, Mr.
Kellar says d* ‘little dominant minor
ity has tied down the safety valve of
free discussion until an explosion im
pends, which will scatter the Republi
can party from Maine to California.'
‘ ‘The President has assumed more
power than any of his predecessors’
Mr. Kellar continues, ‘and tells Con
gress what, bills to pass and what not
to pass. Bills . concocted at secret
conferences are introduced without
being referred to responsible com
mittees. The. Presidents advisers
seem to think it possible* for this coun
try to lift,itself by its economic boot
straps and vaguely promise that a
ha if billion dollar gift to the railroads
is not to Increase taxes—-will restore
prosperity. They would do better to
busy themselves with lowerni grates,
taking off the transportation tax and
seeing to It that the railroads are run
lefficiently with a minimum of waste,
but that is not likely so long as rail
road executives can depend upon the
administration for lavish gifts.’ ”
China says she is going to fight her
fight at, the conference against Japan
with swords. Our sympathy goes out
to these reporters, who must be, pres
ent. •
