RECKLESS EXTRAVAGANCE.

The last legislature literally
swamped the state treasury, even go
ing to the extreme of appropriatiug
more money than the states total es-
timated revenue for the ensuing two
years. 1t is understood that Gov
ernor Browns valedictory message to
the next general assembly will urge
more conservative policy in appropri-
ations, and Governor Slaton, the in
coming executive, will endeavor to
bring the situation so strongly to the
attention of that body that they will
see the necessity of putting a check
on further extraVagant expenditures.
1t is for the purpose of calling a halt
to these extravaganza that the two
governors will endeavor to impress
upon our lawmaking body the neces-
sity of considering more siriously the
straitened condition of the treasury.

GEORGIA AND THE CABINET.

The dispatches state that Major
John S. Cohen, managing editor of
the Atlanta Journal, has returned
from visit to Trenton, where he
went to confer with Woodrow Wilson
as to the possibilities of James R.
Gray, editor of the Journal, for a
cabinet position. Major Cohen is
non-communcative as to his visit
What purports to be an authoritative
list of members of the new presi-
dents cabinet has been printed in
the newspapers, and The News con-
fesses that it is somewhat disappOint-
ed that the name of no Georgian ap-
pears on it. Editor Gray of the Jour
nal and Editor StovalI of the Savan-
nah Press have both been prominent
ly mentioned as cabinet possibilities,
and either of them would measure
fully up to the requirements of a
cabinet position and reflect credit up
on the incoming democratic admins
tration. We hope it is not yet too
late for one of them to be called to
a seat in President Wilson's official
family

The News learns from the Waco
Tribune that Governor Colquitt has
begun a movement whereby Texas
shall claim the honor of giving sep
ulture to Miss Joanna Troutman,
now resting in a neglected grave in
Georgia. The lady was the designer
of the Lone Star Flag of Texas. The
idea of Governor Colquitt is that
Texas people shall meet the expense
by individual contributions and rear
a suitable monument, and he has
called upon them to contribute a fund
of $4,000 for that purpose.

usDIRECTED SYMPATHY.

Mrs. Longstreet, the young wido y
of the Confederate general, has &C
quired the habit of getting into the
big headlines of the newspapers. Her
latest jump into the limelight is an
offer to raise $4,000 to keep that
unforgiving, South-hating old repro
bate, General Daniel Sickles, from be-
ing locked up in jail because of the
shortage in his accounts with the
New York Monument Commission, Of
which he was chairman. 1t is doubt
full if anybody thought that General
S'ckles would be imprisoned, but it
is clear that there isn't a great deal
of sympathy for him. 1t seems tc be
the understanding that he lost much
money specializing in Wall street and
that some he lost belonged to the
state He doesn't appear to have
treated his wife with the considera-
ton to which she is entitled. and that
fact undoubtedly operated against
him when his need of financial assist
ance became known. Mrs. LOngstreet
could place her sympathy and efforts
on objects that are a great deal
more worthy than this old yankee
who has gone wrong.

GROUND HOG OUT TOMORROW.

If He Sees Shadow He Will Go Back
for Six Weeks More of Winter.
Sunday is grounding day. Al
though no groundhogs are known
to have been seen in this section on
that day the old sign that the ground
hogs appearance has a great deal to
do with the weather for the ensuing
days is believed strongly by some
people.
The old saying goes that the ground
hog comes out of his winter home in
this day. If the sun is shining and
he sees his shadow he goe back,
which neans unsettled weather for
another six weeks. If, however, there
is no shadow it is sure sign that
spring is here.

The warden's report for the At
lanta federal prison shows that each
prisoner there cost the government
$2O5.54 for the last fiscal year. If
the average term is five years that
means that each vioIator of national
laws, who is punished, costs the
country $1,000. That is not taking
into account the salaries of officers
or the cost of the courts. The pris-
oners in that institution must be pref
ty well taken care of, better, in fact,
than many people fare on the outside,
but that is no reason why anybody
should want to live in a cell.

THE COMMON SCHOOLS FIRST.

THE COMMON SCHOOLS FIRST.
The Albany Herald says; I'VE see
from some of the state papers that
propaganda is being set on foot to
procure at the hands of the next leg
islature increased appropriations for
the State University. 1t is pointed
out that the university needs some i'm
provements and new equipment, such
as a new dormitory, a heating plant,
etc, and friends and alumni of the
institution are being urged to get
into line for a vigorous campaign
when the legislature meets, We have
no objection to any improvement that
the legislature may be induced to
make for the university, but before
a dollar increase is voted TO this in
stitution it is TO be hoped that those
members Of the legislature who stand |
for a square deal for the common |
schools of the state will insist upon |
first having some definite and direct |
provision made for financing the pub
lie school system. Our public schools |
closer to the people than any |
other part of the states educational
system, and it has been held back |
by poverty and slip-shod methods
long enough. The trouble has been
that the legislature has been failing
TO provide the necessary funds for
paying the appropriations for the
common schools. Only about 3 per
cent of the apportionment of the
funds for the common schools OF The
state for last year has yet been paid,
and the county boards of education
have had to borrow money with
which TO pay the teachers"
The News endorses every word the
Herald says in demanding that the
common schools be taken care of and
put on a sound financial basis before
the appropriations to the higher insti-
buttons of learning are increased a
single dollar. The common schools
are the only dependence of the mass
es for an education. They touch the
lives of more people and are a great
or influence for making character and
good citizens than all the coHeges
and universities combined.
The teachers should be paid with
more promptness, too, and it is graf
flying to note that Governor Brown
has this week drawn his warrant for
5000 900 to pay them in full for last
years services, which is earlier than
they have been paid in several years
before. They had previously receiv-
ed 50 per cent of their 1912 sala-
ries.
The various county school boards
are not entirely without blame for
the unfortunate situation that exists
as to the payment of teachers. They
have spent beyond their means by
increasing salaries and erecting fine
school houses, with the result that
after exhausting their apportiOnment
Of the school fund they have had to
borrow money with which to meet
heir obligations. Thus they have
gotten a year ahead of their in +
come, and instead of the taxes that |
are collected in the fall being used
10 pay the expenses of the ensuing
year, as was intended, the money has
already been spent and must be used
n paying debts that were made be-
lore it was even appropriated by the t
legislature.
