Eleven more shopping days until
Christmas. Time to get busy.
The extraordinary session of the
Georgia general assembly is a most
extraordinary one.
Governor Walker is sorely in need
of a “whip” on the floor of the legis¬
lature.
Co-operation is a great asset to any
town or city, in fact an essential cle¬
ment for growth and prosperity—but
there are many who do not possess
that coveted asset.
The admonition to do your Christ-!
mas shopping early is taken with too j
much levity by many people. Those
who disregard* it are invariably the
losm's.
Brunswick will reach those propor¬
tions of greatness to which she as¬
pires when those who arc financially
able divorce themselves from the idea
that they must have two dollars for
every fifty cents invested.
In planning your Christmas, much
of happiness will be found wanting
should you not remember there are
many little tots for whom there will
be no Santa Claus. It is a very hap¬
py role to play if you love the laugh¬
ter and jubilation of a child.
Georgia farmers are “going in”
pretty heavily for live stock produc
tion and dairying. And they are not
overlooking the importance of rais
ing the feeds and forage required and
to assure profit from their
ments and work.
Charlotte Observer asks: “Where
are the snuff-dippers?” Do not know,
but it looks as if their places were
being taken by some young women
who might pass as “ladies,” if they
did not sit in public restaurants and ! j
smoke cigarettes.
Colleges and universities, that
imaintain football teams soon will
need to establish banks in their insti
tutional equipment. This, in view of
the report that over $10,000,000 was
paid for admissions to inter-collegiate
football games, played between Sep¬
tember 25 and December 1 of this
year.
Tiie fact that the White House has
been declared unsafe from a structur¬
al standpoint and that it presents a
great fire .hazard woudl be no barrier
to the ambition of those whose hats
arc in the ring whether congress vot¬
ed a half million for improvements
or not.
The Mexican revolution is not the
kind of thing we think about iti this
country when we use the word. Rev¬
olution in Mexico means a fierce polit¬
ical campaign, the “outs” against the
“ins”, with enough gun-play and
sniping to keep the officeholders on
the jump.
The people of the United States, in
1914 owed those of other nations of
,
the world the net sum of about four
billion dollars. Now- other nations owe
the United States and its citizens
about seventeen or eighteen billion
dollars. The exact amount does not
matter much, since there is reason to
believe that some of the millions nev¬
er will be paid.
The new senate has fifty-one regu¬
lar Republicans, forty-three Demo¬
crats and two Farmer-Labor mem¬
bers. This includes the eighteen new
members, of whom there are eleven
Democrats, five Republicans and two
Farmer,Laborites. There is a good
deal of guessing as to how some of
these new senators will line up to
vote, and it is suspected that there
■will be times when they will stray
from the reservation.
TO SAVE LIVES
The railroads build their tracks,
they ojwn the ground on which the
tracks are laid. Trains run on these
tracks on regular schedules and yet
when a speed fiend races with a train
and undertakes to cross the tracks
when a train is due and is hurt he
sues the railroad. The train does not
jump off the track and chase him
through the woods. The train is
where it should be and where the mo¬
torist ought to know that it would be.
The motorist is a trespasser and yet
if anything happens he tries to place
the blame on the railroad and some¬
times succeeds, says the Florida
Times-Union.
At the round table discussion of the
National Association of Railways and
Utilities Commissioners at Miami last
week the suggestion was made that
the railroads sue careless automobile
drivers who cause grade crossing acci
dents, instead of waiting to be sued
by them. It would be perfectly proper
for t!lem to do so. The railroad is
gsneraly not at all at fault for the
accident. The drivers of automobiles
are always to blame. Even in cases
where the railroads are not free front
censure the driver of the automobile
is principally to blante, for he knows
what a railroad track is made for and
he knciws he should look both ways
before crossing it. In ninety-nine
times out of a hundred he can hear
the train. In every case he can see it
if he looks and every man should be
required to use enough caution to
keep from colliding with a train.
At important grade crossings the
railroads use safety devices but they
cannot always prevent speed fiends or
foolhardy drivers from rushing ahead
despite the efforts that arc made to
prevent them. Even when the guards
are down (men sometimes try to break
through. The number of deaths ;u
grade crossings is increasing with the
number of automobiles.
The railroads owe it to the public
to transport passengers and freight
as rapidly as safety will permit. An
engineer would slow down a train if
possible to keep from killing a man
refused to take precautions ioi
own s2 ^ e *T ^ut heavy trains can¬
not be stopped quickly and justice to
the passengers or the shippers of
freight demands that they should not
slow down unnecessarily. The toll of
death can be lowered or gotten rid of
only by the drivers of ears using such
.precautions as common sense would
dictate.
SQUARE DEAL ASKED
*
Senator William J. Harris, of Gcor- ,
gia, -has announced that he will vig
orously fight any proposal to cut tie
tariff rates on peanuts and \t b ctiU e
°‘1 s -
Congressman Charles E. Crisp, of
Georgia, a member of the ways and
means committee, has announced he
will seek to put calcium arsenate on
the free list.
Congressman Carl Vinson, of Geor
g-io, has asked the president to de
clare calcium arsenate duty free,
which the president has a right to do
under the Fordney-McCumber bill.
The southern tariff congress, a non
partisan organization of business
men, manufacturers, bankers, farm
ers and professional men, and headed
by John H. Kirby, a Democrat, or
Texas, is preparing to hold in Chat¬
tanooga perhaps the most important
convention in its history looking to
carrying out its slogan, “Protect the
South, it matters not who writes the
tariff law,” the purpose of this con¬
gress being the protection of those
Southern commodities, vegetable oils,
peanuts, citrus fruits, etc., that Will
suffer, it is claimed, under import; 1
competition.
These activities make to the lay¬
man an interesting study. The South
is the heart of the Democratic policy
of tariff for revenue only, and yet
there are manvlmen in the South who
believe that a high duty is necessary
on many articles in order to properly
safeguard Southern production.
There is nothing is paradoxical
about the situation, as the Democratic
policy of tariff for revenue and the
Republican policy of protection only
represents in general the outstanding
principles as they affect the wide
range of tariff schedules. And it is
entirely consistent with these princi¬
ples for the Republican tariff to carry
r ---------- for
a “free list”, as it does, and a
Democratic tariff to carry a “protect¬
ed list,” as it always has. The fact
is there is not and cannot be any fine
uniformity or consistency in tariff
schedules. Different commodities,
and articles of trade, carry different
rates, and the Southern view, irre¬
spective of party faiths, is that those
products of the South that would be
destroyed through free duty importa¬
tions should be protected, and that
certain products of northern and
western mills and fields should also be
protected, but that the general propo
ration of a high tariff on, necessities in
food and clothing,- which must be
borne by the masses, is economically

wrong. And the position is consis
tent and tenable. j
The framing of a tariff is the fram- :
ing is a guide for business, as well as j
a legal passport to do business, and a j j
proper safeguard for the consumers, 1
There are different conditions, at
home and abroad, that demand differ¬
ent rates, just as there are differen¬
tials in freight rates due to distinc¬
tive conditions.
In the matter of vegetable oils, the] ]

peanuts and other oil producing vege
tables cheaper, by reason of the abun¬
dance and cheapness of labor, than
they can be raised in the South.
import these raw peanuts, or the oils.]
duty free, or even on a negligible du
ty, simply means the destruction of ,
some of the leading money crops in ]
the South. Peanuts, for instance, J
have been the salvation of the Geor- j j
gia farmer since the invasion of the
boll (weevil, and if Manchurian pea-1
nuts should be imported free, prices i !
of the Georgia grown peanut would
drop to less than the cost of produc- j
tion under Georgia's labor conditions,
Thc cotton seed, from oils are
used in the manufacture of lards,
would experience the same precipitate
loss in prices.
And yet a duty on these articles
does not mean higher prices for con¬
sumptive necessities, nor does it ab
rugate or abridge the Democratic pol

v.-ant a square deal for the
South regardless of whether the tar
iff law is written by Republicans or
Democrats, and the tariff law, writ
ten and in practice, is so wide that
this can he secured, but only through
a broad and liberal policy. Narrow
and bigoted political misconceptions
of party tenets cannot get it.
ONE'S HOME TOWN BEST
-
It is a commendable
of the contented and happy
ual that lie likes best the things that
are his • own. From the small boy
with % : dog, to - tne the grown grown man man with
his horse or his automibiie, there arc
no more .desirable possesions in all
the-world-than those which he evens
and of which he takes pndeful care.
And so it is with the country, state or
city which we, wherever we may
c-dl home. Some other land or local
ity may possess beauties of climate or
scenery which our own lacks, but for
all this’there exists that loyal admir
ation and, affection which cannot ^
resisted-until” new attachments;have
.been formed and new ties cemented.
The wise observation has been
made that it is well that all
like'the, same things. Otherwise all
would w’ish to live in thc same gaun¬
try, in the same state, in the same
city or town, and possibly in the same
j house. All would (want to engage in
the same occupation^ and indulge
1
Ikc same pleasures at the same time,
An d perhaps all would dress alike j
and drive, or refuse to drive, the same
Lind cl automebdes. Cut the differ- i
Gnce likes ana dislikes makes the
selective processes comparatively j
simple. The recruited denizon soon
becomes the ardent champion and de¬
fender of ilia place of hie voluntary
or enforced choice. lie soon is ready
to' agree with the solicitous inquirer
who, on being- told the name oi ids
1 t place of residence, observes that
“it is a good city to be u-om,” in the
conviction that his adopted home is a
good city “to be at,” In the eondi
now prevailing all over the
world, which the colleges and news
have had a large part in bring
ing about, men and women have found
it necessary to adapt and readapt
themselves to new conditions and new
environments. It is interesting to ob
serve how readily and how willingly
1 hey bid themselves to this process,
: >nd how quickly they learn to enjoy
and appreciate their changed comli
Hons. Purposeful activity quickly
bridges the dreaded period of loneli
ness-, and then are found new associa
lions and new ties as pleasant as the
old.
It’s no news that comes from the
other side that “Gee winy is propur
ing for war,” for she's been fightis*’
