These are the penalties and pests of progress. To the morMihoughtful among us,* those who keep their fingers on the njse of movements that, motivate for steady and continued ad vancement, there is neither .question or doubt as to Savannah’s steady stride forward during the past six years.,j Look where we may, potfent signs are plenty of the spirit of ' confidence in the fhtrire and the grit to back that confidence in the face of what, to the more timid, seems almost Insurmountable . difficulties and certain disaster. Fear is the Joe of progress. •Fortunately there are outstanding citizens here who do not per imit.this factor to qnter into their calculatoins. *' ff swing of the hammar and saw is singing sweet refrains of activifity in ?very direction. Along the Ogeechee road, reflect ing the city’s examplje, is taking place developments that call for brains, nerve, and ; money. That so astute and successful an operator as L. H. Smith should blaze the way to the South as he has already coniumated to the north of his home town is an example worthy of simulation by all these desirous of investing, , safely; and soundly.’ Ma!y we not be permitted to call attention to a bit of history in connection with the successful activities of Mr. Smith? Need thererbe a finer example of what a combined community could accomplish when we visualize the result of-this one man’s con fidence and zeal in arid for his city? Aside from his own initiative, absolute confidence, and nerve, there were few but tKatJeven dreamed Industrial City Gardens vpould be the beauty «pot and success it is. There are many who derided the project and predicted miserable failure.

HARRISON HAS STIFF OPPdSITION IN MISSISSIPPI By WILLIAM SPECHT Central Press Correspondent JACKSON, Miss., April 6—One of those fiery campaigns, 'for which l Mississippi . was known long before i the late Senator Haey P. Long stole 1 the show in Louisiana with his stump / technique, ■!> foreseen for this sum mer*. Former Gov. Martin Sennett • Conner (kpowp widely as “Mike”) and Senator Pai Harrison wUI battle for, the Democratic nomination for United States senator, tantamount to election. Conner came into prominence when he advocated and had enacted the - Mississippi sales tax. Jigsaw Pnnle •" Conner’s announcement of his can didacy, long predicted, split the Miss issippi political picture into a jig saw puzzle. The question is: “Which way will Junior Senator Theodore Bilbo go?” Bilbo who, during his own sena torial campaign promised to “out- Huey—Huey Long” has been opposed ,to both Conner and Harrison for years. Os the two, however, he is more bitter against his colleague, Har rison, and has sworn to bring about his, defeat. , ' His political fight with Harrison, Which dates back many years, was even further accentuated in the United States senate recently when Harrison supported the • nomination of Judge Edwin ft. Holmes to the fed eral circuit bench. Bilbo, still vividly remembering the time when Judge Holmes put him Into jail for contempt, began a bit ter fight against the senate confirm ation of the jurist. More Punles Harrison, chairman of the power ful senate finance committee, has continued to put up a stiff fight for Holmes. There Is also the question of what part the late Senator Long’s “share the-wealth” movement will take in the campaign. The Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, who no fallen into the role of guiding director Os the movement, has de clared that his societies would op pose Harrison. And again Senator Bilbo creates wonderment, for Bilbo in his own rhe-wealth" movement. There is, further, a possibility that election campaign assailed the “share the New Deal may find its way into the campaign as one of the chief Issues. Harrison's Plea Senator Harrison, in addressing a joint session of the state legislature, urged that Mississippi send a delega tion to the Philadelphia convention instructed to vote for Roosevelt. The puzzle also enmeshes Gov. /Hugh White. White, who was so vig orously supported by Bilbo in the •campaign last year, has been regard ed as a friend of Harrison’s. AH in all the picture is one of many /complexities with only the future Hable to truly predict the ultimate po sition all the various and conflicting parts of the puzzle will take. Senator Harrison, who has been >an outstlndlng figure in the nation’s capita /or many years, was first elect ed to the United States senate in 1918. The present campaign will be his fourth.

The time has now arrived when a spade should be called a i)spade, and the office holders be made aware that they are the ’servants, not the masters of the people. That public office does jnot convey title of private ownership of the office held nor the ; passing in perpetuity to a chosen few,the right, apparently the ijsole right, to hold office. Events of (the past few days have 'not appealed to the sense of propriety'or justice to the average Savannah voter. ; Rumor of a few men meeting in the private room of a hotel ,and secretly selecting condidates does not meet with the ap proval of a vast majority of the people. The spirit of youth is abroad in the land, the young men and women of Savannah and Chatham County desire, AND SHOULD HAVE , represen tation. THERE MUST BE A RADICAL CHANGE IN THE METHOD OF ; MANIPULATING THE POLITICAL FOR- 1 UNES OF THE PEOPLE. The events of the past few days, if ariy evidence at all is required, shows the importance of every citizen putting himself in position to vote. THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY IMMEDIATELY REGISTERING. - Savannah people are dissatisfied and thoroughly disgusted with the disgraceful and disgusting political reputation which their community has been compelled to bear. Under the sting ing lash of criticism they have borne patiently until patience has ceased to be a virtue, they are now resentful of this repu tation and propose its speedy correction. THIS THEY WILL ACCOMPLISH BY REGISTERING AND VOTING. BAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1936 v The Rev. Gerald L.

It is called “minor” merely because it does not enforce labor regulations on cor porations. In other respects, it is more rigid than was the NRA. The bill in is th? Robin son-Patman measure /to regulate price discounts. Although this bill has no labor regulations in conjunction with it, congress has anotheir bill before it —being fought by the United States Chamber of Commerce and the Na tional Manufacturers’ association— which would- set up standards of hours and wages on all goods and materials entering into purchases with government money. The Robinson-Patman bill is sponsored by small merchants and middlemen It would regulate, and in many) instances prohibit, special terms for mass buyers, such as chain organiz-' ations. “Special terms” include I quantity discounts, rebates, allow- stomach you make me sick—l know Frank.

And if you were a man you’d make me twice as sick—l suppose I ought to be sorry for you, pity you because your life is so mean and empty, so dull, so boresome that you have to get your fun out of scandalizing my friend Frank.

The bill also would try to prevent sales by chain organizations in cer tain communities at a lost, in order xto drive out competitors, while maintaining higher prices in other llcommunities.

SOCIAL SERVICES’ COST The United States has made a modest beginning on social security if one compares it with Great Brik ian. Read this from London in the Wall Street Journal: “No countrf in the world has such an elaborate system of govern ment social serviced as Britain. “Under -his head are included poor relief, national health ant un employment insurance, widows’, or phans’ and old age pensions, educa tion, housind and public health ser vices. “Their magnitude is best realized by the fact that in 1933, the latest year for which complete statistics are available, ther total cost was two billion, four hundred million dollars. That is a sum equal to one seventh of the total national income to Britain.” THE WAY TO PEACE Readers may forgive us if we quote once more from the Wall Stret Journal, for it contains this illuminating observation (which has escaepd most of the world com mentators) “Wha nGqrmany handed the world her Rhineland jolt, it is to be doubted that either the Reich gov. ernment or its opponents envision- (Continued on Page Six) Contract Bridge , TWO UNUSUAL HANDS Today we have two unusual hands.
