But from the moment of his advent

that he was indeed the man for the

'militarism," by announcing at once
that there would be no more militar-

in the past, that he was no longer

duty would have no cause to complain
of militarism. He has kept that prom

From the first moment to the present

TRUST THE SOUTH
(Leslie's Magazine. }

The South can be trusted Because
the Southern States gave President
Wilson real popular majority, some
are complaining that the South may
have too much say about his admins
tration, and will encourage radical
legislation. We do not see it in this
light No part of the country is more
prosperous than the South. No states
are richer than the Southern States.
None have larger conservative ele-
ment We say all this while conced
ing that there is a good deal of radi-
calism in some parts of the South
But the heavy investment of Northern
capital in the Southern States and
wonderful opportunities for additional
Investments in railroads and industri-
al enterprises are making the South
more conservative than ever. A strong
protection sentiment exists in the
South because, since the close of the
war, it has changed from a purely ag-
ricultural section, and has become the
seat of some of our most prosperous
industrial enterprises. 1t would not
be surprising if the time should come
when the South will be the center of
strong protective sentiment and
New England the advocate of freer
trade.

these words viii not fail to have ef-
feet upon these moneyed men, though
the Macon Telegraph doubts it, as is
shown in the following excerpt from
that paper:
We have received from Mr.. John H.
Wallace, Jr., commissioner of Ala
bama's Department of Game and Fish
a pamphlet entitled Save the Little
Americans" an eloquent appeal in be-
half of the poor mountain boys and
girls of the South who ''can not go 10
school because they have to work the
little crop growing on the rocky hill
side farm to help support the family.
Mr. Wallace contrasts the slender
chances for an education within reach
of these little Americans" of ancient
stock with the advantages enjoyed by
the young negroes educated at Tus
kegee, "a plant valued at many mil
lions Of dollars"
The pamphlet is the text of an ad-

party of wealthy Northern philan

WHY THROTTLE THIS CHILD!

In the case of Ollie James, a thir
teen-year-old boy who has been SEN
fenced to serve eleven years for the
theft of a five-cent bottle of soda
water, much interest is being shown
by the press of Georgia. The Atlanta
Constitution has been especially ag-
gressive in it's demands for more in
formation relative to what may justly
be termed the blind cruelty of the
courts in this matter.
1t is a matter which the other Al
lanta papers should take up and in
vestigate more fully, as those papers
are closest to the sources of informa-
ton. Such a merciless and reprehens
ible miscarriage of justice should have
the white light of publicity turned up
on it until the people of Georgia know
the truth and the whole truth.
In its most recen' editorial on the
matter the Constitution says:
Ollie Taylor, now just 10 years old
has earned a distinction. He ha;
proved that the laws of Georgia can
be enforced swiftly, that technicalitiee
are unavailing, that even the supreme

The Constitution is heartily in favor

But should not enforcement also a
