FANNING THOSE SPARKS OF
PATRIOTISM
By Mrs. A. R. Shiver*, Candidate
for Representative, Warren
County
It is not treason when I say,
“Taxation beyond our ability to
pay is tyranny!” We are patri
otic. We love our land bought
with the blood of patrots, who
fought and died that we might
live in freedom and safety.
We can not exist much longer,
to say nothing of living, unless
the load of taxation is lifted from
the class of people who are sup
porting this vast commonwealth.
Who are they?
“God is going to bless them of
noble brain and heart,
Who volunteer, in sincerity, to
take the farmer’s part.”
We’ve said before that a sub
sidized press and free govern
ment could not stay in the same
house. So give us a free press,
and the light that shines from
such march publicity, will guide “Promised us in
our to the
Land.”
Our government is builded
upon such principles, and we
must again incorporate them in
to our laws, or else go the way
of the Roman Empire!
The women have kept those
fires of patriotism burning, or
else we’d today be compelled to
start all over again!
We have today in our Empire
State of the South many Nancy
Harts. Then, too, we have the
model woman, as described by
King Solomon, in large numbers.
We have the dauntless kind like
Jockebed, who dared the King’s
command, And saved her son, by
sending him afloat in a basket
of rushes. We have Hannahs,
Esthers, Ruths, Miriams, Nao
mis. These are hut examples of
pioneers in woman’s rights.
Then we have prophetesses
like unto Huldah, Derohah, Mi
riam and Anna, and the four
daughters of Philip the evange
list.
We have countless Marthas
and Dorcases and innumerable
Marys of every type described in
the Bible.
But on that Resurrection
morn when the Risen Lord said
to the women, “Go tell the
brethren, and, Peter, too,” we’ve
been on the job ever since, and
expect to sitay till we get ’em
told, all of them!
One alarmed clergyman said,
"Stop (the women, they’ve read
and studied till they know more
than the men. They can talk
better than the prefcchers and
ask God for things we didn’t
know He had.”
We are profoundly glad that
there was one Jezebel, and no
other woman has ever inherited
her covetous disposition. So
Arthur Brisbane says if you
want a thing done safely, sanely,
in order, on time, without wav
ering and confusion, give that
job to a woman and she will not
disappoint you.
Our best government, how
ever, is going to be had when
our men and women work and
pull together.
All together now, for a strong
pull, and if * chariot
see our
doesn’t come out of the mire!
The writer is aspiring to a seat
in Georgia’s legislative halls,
and then she’s going to ask to
be made chaplain in the House
of Representatives, if she’s elec
ted.
We recall a letter from Abi
gail Adams to her husband,
John Adams, in the Continental
Congress in which she Slid,
“Remember the ladies. If you
do not, we’ll foment a rebellion,
and will not hold ourselves
bound to obey any law’s in
which we have no voice or rep
resentation.’’

MAJOR INDUSTRIES CONTINUE TO FAVOR
NEWSPAPER SPACE
The following Associated press dispatch sent out from New
York, July 21 st, show* that big business considers newspaper
advertising more effective than any other kind:
“Major industries continue to show’ a preference for news
paper advertising over that of other mediums, the American
Newspaper Publishers’ Association reportted Wednesday.
“The association’s bureau of advertising announced that a
survey showed 435 national advertisers spent $143,465,000 in
newspaper 190 of these advertising last year. Magazine space was used by
firms to the extent of $78,317,815 and 121 used
radio broadcasts entailing an expenditure of $21,223,862. The
bureau reported that newspapers were the favored medium in
25 of the 32 industrial groups represented.”
HAS THE LEOPARD CHANGED HIS SPOTS?
In ihe eighteen-eighties there was as much, if not more agi
tation about the liquor problem, than at the present time, when
the matter is being made a big political issue. To remind some
of us, and for the information of others the following is repro
duced and is part of a speech made at that time by the great
and lamented Henry W. Grady:
“My friends, hesitate before you vote liquor back into At
lanta, now that it is shut out. Don’t trust it. It is powerful,
aggressive, and universal in its attacks. Tonight it enters an
humble home to strike the roses from a woman’s cheek, and
tomorrow it challenges this Republic in the halls of Congress.
“Today it strikes the crust from the lips of a starving child,
and tomorrow levies tribute from the government itself. There
is no cottage in this city humble enough to escape it—no palace
strong enough to shut it out.
“It defies the law when it cannot coerce suffrage. It is flex
ible to cajole, but merciless in victory. It is the mortal enemy
of peace and order. The despoiler of men, the terror of wo
men, the cloud that shadow's the face of children, the demon
that has dug more graves and sent more souls unshriven to
judgment than all the pestilences that have wasted life since
God sent the plagues to Egypt, and all the wars since Joshua
stood before Jericho.
“O my countrymen! Loving God and humanity, do not
bring this grand old city again under the dominion of that
power. It can profit no man by its return. It can uplift no
industry, revive no interest, remedy no wrong. You know that
it cannot. It comes to destroy, and it shall profit mainly by the
ruin of your sons and mine. It comes to mislead human souls
and crush human hearts under its ruinbling wheels.
“It comes to bring gray-haired mothers down in sorrow to
their graves. It comes to turn the wife’s love into despair, and
her pride into shame. It comes to still the laughter on the
lips of little children and lo stifle all the music of the home and
fill it with silence and desolation.
“It comes to ruin your body and mind, to wreck your home,
and it measures the duration of its prosperity by the swiftness
and certainty with which it does its w'ork.”
THE PROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER
It would be comical, were it not tsomewhat pathetic, the way
newspaper officials are besieged every day by their friends,
urging them to “roast” this and that; to “see to it” that this
and that is, corrected; to have this and that done in the city or
county; or start this and that kind of movement to correct the
evils of the state government. These friends actually appear
to believe that it is the newspaper’s business to handle all (these
affairs.
Rut a self-respecting newspaper, though ready and wdlling to
carry all reasonable responsibility, must remind its readers
that they—the people are the authority upon whom rests the
responsibility for the present state of affairs- local, state and
national.
A self-respecting newspaper tries to report the news of what
actually happens, not what it might wish had happened. The
relation of a self-respectting newspaper to the general public
is not always understood. It is the duly of a newspaper to be
in position to support any good act and criticise any bad act
of public policy.
This relationship cannot exist where favors are asked and
granted. Honesty is the only policy for a newspaper.
If the objectors don’t like the way things are going, they
should qualify as voters, and then raise Cain about it.—Flor

TWO MONTHS’ WORK FOR NOTHING
How would the average citizen like to work 61 days without
any pay whatever?
The answer is that he wouldn’t like it at all. But that, in
fact, is what he is doing. Sixty-one days’ work out of each
year is required to pay the cost of government. In 1924 it was
46 days, and in 1913 about 25 days.
The ratio is constantly rising. Carried to the inevitable con
elusion, it means that in the not-too distant future, the tax
payers will be working for the taxeaters all the time, and for
themselves not at all. Every time a new bureau is created,
every time a new department comes into existence, a little
more of the money we earn finds its way into the Treasury.
As President Hoover has said, to continue on the tax road
we are traveling is to impovish the nation. In the last 16
years the cost of government has increased nearly 150 per
cent. The results are found in hoarding of capital, indus
trial retrenchment unemployment. The tax issue, in all its
phases, is one of the most important problems the American
people ever faced.
THINK THIS OVER
The public is now being regaled with the news that $10,000,
000 will have to be raised to conduct the Hoover-Roosevelt bat
tie for the presidency. In 1928 the two parties spent a total of
$16,500,000.
When the politicians of both parties are telling how much
money it will take to care for the needy people this winter, it
looks like an economic crime to raise $10,000,000 to be spent
by the two parties largely in blackguarding opposing candi
dates.
Let both parties if they are sincere in their advertised de
sires to help the need}', donate their millions of campaign
funds for relief work this winter. And let the people vote in a
normal manner for their political choice, free from the high
pressure influence of a $10,000,000 slush fund.
IMMEDIATE TAXATION RETRENCHMENT ESSENTIAL
In a recent address, a prominent citizen said: “By borrow
ing to cover our current governmental expenses . . . we drain
the capital of the country into public securities and draft it
away from industry and commerce.”
In 1913 cost of government was about $1 for every $15 of
national income. It is now $1 for every $5. For every federal
income taxpayer there are one and one-quarter persons whose
source of income is the government.
The regeneration of the economic life of this country large
ly depends on decisive, immediate governmental retrenchment.
