Are the Farmers Good Friends and

Sometimes you see a boy or even
a man out with a gun killing birds
as tast as they appear. This should

to destroy insects.
The boys in the family NAV do q
great good by building bird houses
about the barn, house and shade
trees. The houses should be kept
out OF reach of cats and dogs. Give
each room 6 inches of floor space and
make it inches high. A single
opening near the top 2 inches in di-
ameter should be made for large
Dlrds, but for small birds. such as
the wren, a 1-inch door will do.

NATIONAL MENACE
INCREASING RAPIDLY IN VARI-
Gus SECTIONS OF COUNTRY,

American Medical Journal Declares
the Situation Must Be Viewed
With Serious Concern.
The pellagra problem in the South
is indeed a grave one, as is indicated
in the following editorial reference
to it which appeared in a recent issue
of the Journal of American Medical
Association:
Medical and press reports show
the increasing prevalence of pellagra
in different sections of the country.
From Kentucky, Tennessee, North
and South Carolina and Georgia
come reports Of increasing numbers
OF cases, some of them in localities
where the disease had not previously
been detected. These reports in all
probability mark the annual recru-
desCence of the disease and indicate
that it is increasing from year to
year, at least in some localities, and
at rate that demands serious con-
sideration
The evident increase in the num-
Der of cases, the high mortality at
tending the disease, and the lack of
knowledge regarding it's etiology and
prevention have created some feeling
of alarm among the people of the
infected localities lest the disease
might become widely epidemic.
Judging from the experience of tia
ly, since in that country the disease,
soon after its appearance, became
widespread and was attended by
high rate of mortality.
Accurate data regarding the
prevalence of the disease in this
country would at the present time
be of the greatest value, but unfort-
unately these are not available. since
in only four states is pellagra re-
quired to be reported, and in only
one OF these are these reports re-
quired by law. Were these data
available for the period since pei
lagra was first reported in the United
States it is probable that some idea
would be gained as to the extension
OF the disease, and some light might
also be shown on the etiology and
other phases of the problem.
No appreciate advances have
been made in our knowledge of Ell
ology and prevention in the recent
past. The maize theory of the origin
OF the disease appears to be attract
ing less attention on the part of
students Of the disease.
ANY true estimate of the signif-
canoe of pellagra in the United
States and its Importance in future
must be based largely on knowledge
-of its cause. The adoption of ade-
quate preventive measures also de-
ponds on this factor.
ION the whole, the peIlagra situ-
alton must be viewed with serious
concern. The disease has been re-
ported from more than 80 states it's
area is extending, and it's presence
Is a menace to the physical and men
tai integrity of large numbers of peo-
pie. 1t therefore becomes one Of tho
most, If not the most, important NH
lie health problems of the present
and as such adequate provision
should be made for its thorough in
yestigation by federal and state
health authorities.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE TT

this fall. The term of the present
legislature runs for another year. In
jecting the liquor question into the
campaign, therefore, would not nee
essarily have the effect of bringing
about any change. 1t will be the
privilege of the legislature to say
that the status should remain as it
is until the people have declared
themselves with respect to it.
He asserts that the liquor question
is going to be an issue campaign af-
ter campaign until the people decide
it themselves at the ballot box.
Governor Browns address, in part,
follows:
ITO the People of Georgia. 1t has
been my purpose to contribute my
mite toward avoiding the useless and
injurious agitation of a long cam
paign. Since l gave out my simple
statement that l would be candi-
date certain developments have
TRANSFERRED which not only reassure
me that l acted properly, but which
force me to forego my inclination to
keep silent until an actual vacancy
occurs. Before issuing my platform
| desire to call attention to certain
interests that, having fiagrantly VIC
lated the peoples confidence, are
now intent upon fastening their
clutch upon the political affairs of
Georgia, and endeaVoring to mislead
the voters into the belief that this
campaign must be decided upon a
single and false issue, injected by
outsiders, and fomented by those
who wish to distract public atten-
ton from their own misdOings. With
these interests and certain newspa-
pers attempting to blind the voters
to the real issues by agitating both
sides of an extraneOuS question |
cannot feel true to the state unless
| come out and speak clearly and
emphatically.
Liquor Not an Issue.
Shall the people weld about
themselves the iron bands of the
most selfish political ring ever form
ed i'll Georgia? At the prompting of
certain newspapers will they make
g useless fight over a false issue?
| do not believe it.
The liquor question has no place
in this campaign, just as it had none
in the campaign of 1908. The legisla-
ture has been chosen; it is commit
ted. Regardless of who is elected
governor it will not change the pres
ent status. 1t is known to every cit
izen that the legislature, not the gov
ernor, is the law-making power.
ence, no substitute for or any
change in any of the statutes of
Georgia can be enacted save by the
legislature Under these conditions,
therefore, it is manifest that local
| option will not be substituted for
statewide prohibitory regulations
| during the term of the incoming gov
ernor, unless the will of the people
can be directly ascertained, as here

matter set forth. From every quar-
ter of the state has come the inquiry:
Why has the sale of liquor been
thrust forward as a personal issue?
Under no condition should it be made
the vehicle upon which the candi-
dates would ride into office. A prin-
ciple is always higher than a means
I'm my platform wherewith l an
nounced my candidacy for the gov
ernorship March IS, 1908, I used the
following words:
Eighth. The strict enforcement
of the present prohibition law. If
the people in the coming election
choose members of the general as
sembly, who, in accordance with the
will of their constituents, make any
change in the present law, l will
sign the bill thus ordered by the
people

Let the People Decide 1t.


ct developed during that cam
paign that almost one-half of the
members of the legislature had been
nominated in the county primaries
wherein the liquor question had not
been made an issue. In cOnjunc-
ton with the other candidate it was
agreed to veto any changes in that
law if made by the legislature during
that term.
The experience of other states
has shown that agitation over the
eating liquors will continue with re-
curing intensity until the people
have expressed their will on this sub
ject at the ballot box directly and
without the confusion of other issues
and personal candidates.. Hence,
while the conditions already stated
will not admit of applying this year
the procedure named in my platform
in 1908, yet it is possible in the
coming primary to settle the princi-
pie in a manner even more direct.
In other words, if the state executive
committee of the democratic party
will permit the people to vote upon
the alternatives of prohibition or
local option in the pending primary
the present legislature would doubt
less accept the result as mandatory.
And the fact that it is voted upon in
that primary will insure the settle
ment of the question by the white
voters of the state, and by them
alone. Furthermore, if voted upon
in that primary it will be farther re-
moved from distracting complica-
tions than it could have been in any
gubernatOriaI primary during the
past thirty years, inasmuch as only
two offices are to be filed at this
time. Also each candidates friends
and voters of varying shades of
thought on other questions will be
free to vote untrammelled
For the foregoing reasons, there
fore, l respectfully request of the
state executive committee that it
submit this question to the people
on the ballots in the primary
with he utmost clearness I will
state that the ascertained will Of the
people is to me now, as enunciated
in 1908, the highest law. This gov
eminent of the people and for the
people is, through necessity, by the
people | know no chart, no creed,
which teaches me that there is any
earthly power in Georgia higher than
the people. Therefore, should the
democatic state executive committee
permit the white voters of the state
to register their will on the liquor
question in the coming primary their
mandate will be to me the measure
of duty"
