THE NEW FOURTH
Year by year the old fashioned
Fourth of July with spitting can
non and sizzling rocket against a
blue sky is becoming more and
more of a memory.
It is difficult for those who
passed childhood in the old sash
ioned noisy Fourth of July de
cade to remember that Roman
candles and other means of sport
meant anything lofty and inspir
ing to us —anything but a rolldck
ing holiday.
Safe and sane Fourths are
pretty well established but the
argument that some way should
be found to make green the mean
ing of what those periwigged
builders of our nation did back
on July 4, 1776, as a worthy one.
The great purpose of a Fourth
of July observance is not only to
pay respect to the early framers
of this government, but to meas
ure the patriotism of this with
that day, to determine whether
this nation has been true to the
faith, whether it has kept aloft
the torch, whether its willing
ness to sacrifice for the common
good deserves a place with the
sacrifices of the fathers of the
nation. Such speculation is in
order in these times and a quiet,
dignified observance, such as we
have in mind will be helpful.
OLD-TIME FIGHTERS
Discussions of the latest prize
fight fiasco, in which the German
Schmelllng won the technical
world’s championship over
Sharkey on a f ml, have renewed
speculation as to how John L.
Sullivan and other battlers of old
would have stacked up against
our modern pugs.
No one can tell, of course, but
when it is remembered, for in
stance, that Sullivan and Kilrain
fought 75 rounds with baie
knuckles in the last champion
ship bout under {London prize
ring rules, the stamina of those
old times can not be discounted.
That was in 1889, since which
time gloves have been used, and
no championship bout has gone
1 mger than 26 rounds under the
new rules.
Under the old London baie
knuckle rules a round did not
end until one of the fighters was
on the ground. Then after only
80 seconds rest they went at it
again.
As Jack Dempsey recently
pointed out, while Sullivan was
defeated by Corbett, using larg*
gloves, sullivan went to his grave
as the undefeated bare knuckle
champion.
Considering the unsatisfactory
termination of many recent
championship bouts, it is strange
that the boxing game has held
its customers as well as it has.
But if promoters and fighters do
not soon begin to stage better
exhibitions than have been wit
nessed during the past few years,
it will not be surprising if the
fans get tired of being humbug
ged. There is no doubt that the
old-timers put on much better
shows for a fraction of the pres
ent-day prices.

SLATON
i The long defensive letter of Sena -
[tor Harris shows he recognizes im
pending defeat! News must have
icome from home that the myth of
!hls being invincible —just like
flrundy, of Pennsylvania-—is in
danger of being exploded.
The Senator writes a lengthy
statement full of retractions,
changes of position and amusing
lexplanatlons. He even admits some
Georgia Congressmen were in the
Capitol during his service as Sena
tor, although he fails to give Sena
tor George credit for any accom
plishment.
Regarding the League of Nations,
Senator Harris writes:
"Mr. Slaton seems to be unduly
exercised by the League of Nations
[when he tries to resurrect it."
Does not Senator Harris know
that Mrs. Iluth Hanna McCormick
defeated Senator Dineen in Illinois
Ifor nomination for U. S. Senator
Ifrom Illinois on the sole issue of
the Court of the League of Nations
by over 200,000 majority.
Mrs. McCormick said that that
Iwas the sole issue between them
land she opposed it.
[ There is no liver issue before
[the American people today.
Parker Defeat
| I smoked out Senator Harris on
his vote against Judge Parker, of
North Carolina, for a seat on the
Supreme Court Bench. He said
Judge Parker was not sufficiently
able for the position..
The trouble was that Senator
Harris was ignorant of what was
going on. Auy intelligent man
who was in tho Senate and heard
the debate ought to have known the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People de
feated him because Judge Parker
declared negroes ought not to par
ticipate in politics.
Senator Harris, who usually ex
ploits himself through the press as
the only representative from Geor
gia, using “I" 79 times in one letter
and using "1” “ME” and “MINE"
214 times in a 30 minute talk, en
deavors to take shelter behind Sen
ator George and others whom here
tofore he has ignored, in his press
communications.
The result of the Parker rejection
is that tho negro newspapers of the
North gleefully proclaimed their
Victory over Parker and declared
that henceforth the 14th and 15th
amendments shall be enforced.
What one vote on the Supiemo
Court may mean in-the future to
the South I Jo not know. Senator
Harris refused to vote to place a
Southern man there and who was
defeated because he (Parker) be
lieved in WHITE SUPREMACY.
Destruction of Family Life
Senator Harris invited me to dis
cuss other issues. 1 now charge
him with connivance at the most
destructive blow that was ever
aimed at family life in the history
of an English country.

ored People, urged successfully,
through Congress, the 20th Amend
ment; that Amendment provided
that the control of children up to
the age of 18 could be taken from
Mother and Father and put under a
Federal Bureau.
No mother could then have her
daughter to cook a meal; no father
could have his son to chop wood;
no farmer could have the servant
plow a field, if under 18 years of
age unless in accordance with laws
which Congress might pass.
Prohibition
Senator. Harris invites my views
on prohibition without stating His
own.
If he defeated Judge Parker for
the Supreme Court because, ac
cording to his (Harris’) revised
statement, of certain leanings, he
voted for Mr. Owen Roberts, from
the home state of Florence Kelly,
Pennsylvania.
Mr. Roberts has openly in debate
declared the 18th Amendment ought
not to have been adopted. How
poor Judge Parker, the prohibition
ist, would have been crucified had
he made such a statement as has
Mr. Roberts. Yet Judge Roberts is
now on the Supreme Court Bench
where by construction he can nul
lify the prohibition amendment if
his "leanings'' arid personal opin
ions accompany him on the Bench.
Since Senator Harris provoked a
reply from me, lei me say that I
think prohibition is no issue and
cannot be made one in Georgia ex
cept as a football of designing poli
ticians. The 18th Amendment is in
the Coustitotion to stay and I will
vote against its repeal.
Only sinee my announcement has
Senator Harris mentioned anybody
but himself as doing anything tor
the 161 Georgia counties.
He refers to various bills as tho
“Hnrrls-Brand” bill; the "Hariis-
Edwards” bill; and the "Harris-
Vinson" bill. Why doesn't he put
the name of the man who orginated
it In the House, first?
Senate Investigating Committee
Now let mo notice one other at
tack characteristic of a politician.
No man threatens aa investiga
tion of his opponent unless he ex
pects to get beat.
The Government gives to every
Senator SIO,OOO a year for a Sec
retary to be paid $3 900 and three
clerks. This amount ought to be all
•paid to Georgia men and women
tor services rendered, and when I
am elected, a Georgia secretary and
Geovgia olejks shall receive it—
lEvcay dollar!
This. Senator Harris has not doi>4
and I challenge him to produce his
payroll and let the Investigating
Committee examine that for the
last seven years.
When the voters come to decide
the question of the. next Senator
from Georgia consider into whose
hands you prefer to put the future
of your children —Senator Harris,
or myself.
Shall the compliment of a gov
ernment franked, rubber stamped
letter control your vote on this,
momentous question?

After the Tirst
Twenty-five Thousand
HHfles
THE VALUE of sound design, good materials and careful
craftsmanship is especially apparent in the new Ford after
the first twenty-five thousand miles. Long, continuous
service emphasizes its mechanical reliability and economy of
operation and up-keep.
As you drive the Ford through many months and years you
will develop an increasing pride in its appearance and a
growing respect for the substantial worth that has been built
into it. From every standpoint—in everything that goes to
make a good automobile—-you will know that you have made
a far-seeing, satisfactory purchase.
Wherever you go, you hear enthusiastic praise of the car
and this significant, oft-repeated phrase-— “I’m glad I
bought a Ford.”

A FORD owner in New York tells of a
]3,000-mile trip across the United States
and back in sixty days and says “tbc car
was extremely economical to operate, com
fortable and speedy.” A grateful father
tells how the Triplex shatter-proof glass
windshield saved his wife and children
from serious injury.
To test tires, a large company drove a
new Ford day and night, for an average of
500 miles every twenty-four hours. It wa»
still giving satisfactory service after
105,000 miles.
A Ford car that had fallen into Fernan
Lake was submerged for twelve days be
fore being raised. After a new battery ami
carburetor bowl were installed, it w as driven
back to Spokane under its own power.
Many police departments have written
of the special advantages of the Ford in
crowded traffic because of its alert speed,
acceleration, and ease of control. An in
creasing number of fleet owners are also
purchasing the Ford because their cost
figures have given conclusive proof of its
economy of operation and upkeep.
In addition to important triumphs in
Germany, France and Italy, the Ford wua
six out of seven leading places in a contest
in Finland, first and second in the Rafaela
races in Argentina, first and second in the
