Senator Norris Takes Shot At Lame Ducks . Senator Norris of Nebraska, introduced a Bill, last year, to protect the public against so-called “lame ducks”—the Do-nothings whose petition for ‘‘another chaiice” is not always granted by Solomon Beeswax & Wife. Phil Campbell—a lame duck—stuck the hours Norris of Bill the in Sixty-seventh his pocket, during Congress. the eloping Camp belt may succeed Ambassador Harvey, when that worthy is brought home and canned. The Harding administration takes care of the ‘‘wounded in action” brethren—Republi¬ cans and Democrats. Harding himself was wounded, several years ago; and he will face a firing squad, when he offers for the custo¬ mary second-term. With the exception of Manuel Herrick of Oklahoma, this administration has adminis¬ tered first aid to crippled veterans of the stand-pat brigade. This ‘‘spirit of mercy” has not been confined to Republicans: Demo¬ crats who surrendered to Wall Street .and In¬ ternational Bankers during Harding’s first years, and who were repudiated by Old Man Peepu! last November, are provided for under this general amnesty clause. Even Hardwick of Georgia, has been rewarded: he is to occu¬ py a liortli in the Department of Justice. God help us! Hardwick to become a menibbr “Justice”/ of a department wearing tbe name of Peace to war-grafters and German war-claim¬ ants!! Here is the Norris program, and it is 100 per cent for the people: Norris Wants to break hold of WHITE HOUSE. Would- Stop Appointments ■ of Lome Ducks. (Congressmen are serfs of the W bite House, says Sen. George \V. Norris of Nebraska. He would remove Presidential dictation in this fashion: . 1. Advance inauguration date and date for convening of Congress from March to January. duck 2. Forbid the appointment of a lame to a government job for at least two years. The first, ho says would prevent the short session. The second would lessen the Presi¬ dential influence. Norris offered the first proposal in a bill last year. Phil Campbell, a lame duck, stuck it in lii.s pocket in the closing days. He will introduce them both when Con¬ gress convenes. dive The Children Free School Books and a Square Deal (Continued from Page One.) ml government furnishes a public Pbrary free of charge - to the Congressmen, and Sena¬ tors. and Supreme Court Judges. You pay for every one of these books. Not only that, they are building'right now in the city Washington a magnificent marble building to contain that free library. That building is to cost six million dollars of your money. Its dome has been eoveretl over with leaf gold, and there it stands—a marble palace with a golden crown. Free books for Congressmen, free books for Senators, froe books for poli¬ ticians, free books for Supreme Court Judges; and when we talk about giving free books 1,o the little school girls and school boys Georgia, the very men that appropriate your million dollars to furnish free hooks to Wash¬ ington. cry out that it is anarchy. What i.lse? In the city of Athens is a State University kept up by public ex¬ pense, and a magnificent library furnished tlie scholars' who go there. The richest man in Georgia can send his sons there and edu¬ cate them free; the poorest provided man in Georgia can do the same thing, he. can pay the board bill. But there are lots of folks who can’t pay board bills; (hey can’t their boys and girls off from home; they have got to keep them home to help \vork the crop; nr they want to keep them within reach of parental influence and home training. Now, what do we say? Briny the education closer to the doors of every cottage in the land. Let the golden ladder man’s of opportunity be before even) door, and if his children can climb it, IN GOD’S NAME, LET CLIMB. Give every man a fair chance in the race of life; give Ms boy a fair chance; give his girl a fair chance. Under the wool hat of some little mountain boy may he the brain of a Ben Hill or an Alec Stephens; may be the head of a Clay, or a George McDuffie. How can you tell, unless, you give the children a We propose to give equal chances to all the children of Georgia. We make no war upon the colleges. It is right, to have them. there was ever a point on which there should be no classism, no favoritism, no special priv¬ ileges, it is on this question of getting an education. But what else? In' the city of Atlanta they furnish a magnificent law library, tlie books costftig from three to nine dollars a piece, in order that your judges and your lawyers may have hooks to rend and study when they go there to plead their cases Cinit and have them decided ,i r''. A ,'?:.\ps r :'~ n . THE COLUMBIA SENTINEL, THOMSON, GEORGIA. It is all right to furnish free law boohs for the Supreme Court and for the lawyers, but it is all wrong to furnish .free school books to the little boys and girls. Dkl you know this: that in the city of Washington, free school hooks ore furnished to the children of the-richest man in the city as well as to the children of the poorest, at your expense? You are here following the dear old Democratic Party with eyes shut and ears filled with wool, and your backs just covered with moss, and you never stop to look into the way your money is being spent. In the city of Washington they take two and a half million dollars of your tax money every year and part of it is spent to furnish free school, books to all the children in tlie magnificent city of Washington, and yet the politicians are telling you that you must not have free books for your little boy or girl, but that you must continue to furnish them body for somebody else’s little boy, or some¬ else’s little girl. A man who won’t pro¬ vide for his own household’ is worse than an infidel. So says the Good Book. Boot old Sir Conan Doyle: to have been, at so recent a time, one of the best of authors, and now to depend on spook chasing under the name of “Spiritism” for his place among men. 'What, profit it a man to make money as lie is making it, when it almost destroys one’s faith in a God who could never he «o cruel as to permit such a brand of “Spirit¬ ism” to exist?
