INDIANAPOLIS, April 3O.-Charles
Warren Fairbanks, vice president Of
the United States under President
Roosevelt, is today recognized as In
dlana'> greatest cOnServatiOnist. par
ticularly Of forests and reforestiZation
In fact, the people of Indiana believe
Fairbanks has uSurped the place of
Clifford Pinchot in the matter Of con-
servatiOn. Politics, Fairbanks laughing
ly admits, has been put behind him
lcng ago and fur away" Democrats
catishly say they can understand this
i'll view of the "small pickin's" for IA
Republican in Indiana for the last five
years-but they concede him his lead
ership in conservation reforms.
The former vice president was chief
ly instrumental in having the Demo
cratic legislature pass two pet laws
declaring the third Friday Of every April
Arbor day and encouraging the acGuisi-
ton OF municipal parks and state forest
reservations. His whole time. aside
from his vast business interests. is
given up to spreading this kind Of
propaganda. He is ready to drop busi-
ness and talk it any time and any
where, and though he still keeps will
informed on political doings, he will
drop politics like hot iron to discuss
his favorite hobby, conservation.
No spendthrift ever dissipated his
patrimony more recklessly than we
have been scattering and wasting our
natural bounNes," declared the ex-
vice president today. I'VE are moi
morally free to do with them as we

Armed Peace,

Where is this armed peace OF the
great nations of the world TO END?
Never before has the world seen any
thing like the situation which now
exists, and which is loading civiliza-
ton with a burden almost too heavy
to be borne. And Notwithstanding
this the tendency is toward greater
expenditures for battleships, armies
and munitions of war.
Germany is piling on more taxa
ton upon an already overtaXed peo-
pie: France is increasing her reserves
and has announced a program for
expanding $1,000, 100000 on her
navy: Great Britain is adding to her
battleships to maintain her suprem-
acv on the seas; Italy, Austria and
Russia are struggling under enor-
nous financial burdens to be ready
for the day which all expect and all
fear-the day Of a general European
confagrauon,
AT present ten of the great powers
of the world, including Japan in the
east and the United States in the
west, are expanding nearly $1,000
600, 600 a year on war preparations.
And the fact that new power has
arisen in the Balkans adds to the
gravity of the situation and contrib
utes another disturbing factor to in
ternational politics.
If war is burdensome, what can be
said of armed peace? Almost $1,000
100000 a year is being spent to be
ready to burn, devastate and Stay!

KICK.
by George Matthew Adams


Kick to grow.
But kick ahead and not behind.
Kick to get something and to get
somewhere. Kick to a good purpose
For to rightly kick is to be some
body.
Kick to grow.
France kicked itself into the
French revolution and cleared the
political map OF Europe for centuries
to come; Wendell Phillips kicked
against human slavery and helped
free a race; Disraeli kicked against
great horde OF kickers, and it land
ed him prime minister Of England
History favors kickers.
Kick to grow.
Kick with a smile on your face and
determination in your heart. For the
kicking business fares badly with bit
terness and revenge taking tickets
at the gate. Kick the hardest against
your own faults and defects Also
kick against everything useless
time wasting, cheap gossip, aimless
people-habits that sap away your
power.
Kick to grow.
Kick for recognition when you
have real worth to show. Kick for
knowledge. Kick for principle. Kick
for place on which to stand square
ly and honestly. But in all your
kicking remember that the kicking
is the means and not the end. And
after you have kicked your kick pass
on and achieve your task.
Kick to grow.

A Special Senatorial Election

AS a result Of the adoption by a
sufficient number of states of the
amendment to the constitution of the
United States providing for the cleo
ton of United States senator's by
direct vote of the people the Georgia
legislature, as soon as it meets in
June, must call a special election for
United States senator in order that
Senator A. o. Bacon may qualify as
a member of that body.
In the last primary Senator Bacon
was nominated to succeed himself,
but his term expired during the pc
riod between the last session Of the
legislature and the next session. He
vas appointed 10 succeed # self ET
Governor Brown last February, but
the appointment was only to hold
until the legislature meets again.
That recent nomination is not an
election, and the United States con
stitutional amendment having been
ratified prior to the time for the
Georgia legislature to meet an cleo
tion must now be had by the people.
1t is the opinion of eminent lawyers
that only by an election held before
the adjournment of the legislature
can the senator from this state hold
his seat without question of chal-
ienge as to the validity of his posi-
ton, and without a break in the rep
resentation of this state in the United
States senate.
The only effect the muddle which
has arisen will have on the situation
will be the expense to the people OF
Georgia of a special election, and
some little trouble and annoyance to
Senator Bacon. The democrats of
Georgia have regularly nominated,
in primary election, Senator Bacon
to succeed himself, and the people
will cheerfully and enthusiastically
ratify that action when the time
comes.

An Interesting Question,

Americas and Sumter county are
going to law to settle the question
of whether county commissioners
should. or must, work streets within
city limits, the controversy be-
ing the result of the county commits
sioners refusing to improve certain
roads leading to the court house and
inside the corporate limits of Amer
icus.
The matter has attracted the at
tention of the newspapers OF the
state. and they are commenting on it
generally. For instance, the Sayan-
nah News says why should not
those persons who live in the city,
vet pay taxes towards the support OF
the county, be entitled TO receive as
much in return for what they pay as
do those who. live outside the city
limits? Americas is a part of Sum-
ter county and Savannah is a part of
Chatham county. Whatever affects
the interests of the people OF Savan-
nah affects the interests of Chatham
county. Does it not seem that there
should be the closest cooperation be-
tween city authorities and county
commissioners?
Interest in the outcome of the
question, if it is taken into the courts,
will not be confined to Sumter coun-
ty, as other counties and cities have
faced the same condition of affairs.
If was brought up in Terrell county
in the past. but was allowed to drop
upon the refusal of the county au-
thorities to comply with the resolu-
ton of the city council requesting
that the streets of Dawson be work
ed by the convicts, their refusal be-
ing based on the ground that it was
not the county's duty to do any pub
lie work inside of city limits.
In numbers of instances in the
state the county authorities work the !
streets of incorporated towns, while
in others they work the streets that
lead to the court house in four direc-
ton. on the idea that it is their
duty to provide for the people of
the county good highways to the |
building in which their public bust
ness is transacted. In the latter in
stance the road work done in the
towns is for the benefit of the peo-
pie of the entire county, and it would
seem. therefore, that there could be
no well-founded objection to it.

STaTESWOMEN TRIUMPHANT.

rom the Macon Telegraph
The female members of the Colo
RADIO Legislature are relatively few,
but they took possession and carried
all before them when the Biles segre-
cation bill came up for consideration.
The panic among the male members
began when Mrs. Representative
Marshall attacked the bill on the
ground that fallen men should be
segregated the same as fallen wo-
men" The panic grew apace when
the author of the bill. as if fearing
that the ground was caving beneath
his measure, hastily agreed to insert
the provision demanded by Mrs. Rem
reseutative Marshall 1t was all over
when Mrs. Representative Riddle OBJ
jected to the proposed amendment
on the ground that there would
be no men left, " insisted that the bill
be submitted to vote as it stood, and
shouted: Let him who is without
sin cast the first ballot
The accounts convey the impression
/ that the numerous male friends of
/ the measure were not only rendered
/ speeohless but incapable of standing
up TO vote their convictions, and the
! Biles bill was ANONYMOUSLY rejected
without a single ballot in its favor
/ The triumph of Mrs. Representative
/ Marshall and Mrs. Representative
/ Riddle was as complete as if the
/ scalps OF all the male members hung
/ dripping at their belts.
/ This grimly humorous episode OF
/ the Colorado legislature is a promise

To Restrict immigration.

Before he reIinQuished the retns
of government President TAFT vetoed
the immigration bill passd by the last
congress because of the illiteracy test
sought to be imposed on the immi-
grant. 1t has been reintroduced in
the present congress, and Representa-
tive Roddenbery Of the Second Geor-
gia district is the author Of a meas
ure on the same subject.
The advocates of restricting admis-
sion TO this country tc those aliens
who can read or write take their
stand on the remarkable changes in
the sources of our immigration 50
noticeable in the last decade or so
They declare that the substitution
of the people from southeastern EQ
rope has saddled the country witt
an undesirable element which thu
nation cannot assimilaJe and which
in the end will become a seriou
source of disorder. Their point o
view is borne out apparently by tn
widespread unrest among the lowe
paid laborers, like many Of thos
who follow the teachings and leader
ship Of socialistic agitators. The rea
reason, however, of a large majOrit
of those who favor the restriction c
immigration is that they fear the dis
placement of the American work
men by the Italian, the Slav, the Pc
lack and the Hungarian.
The News has long commended tina
this country was getting more tina
Its share of undesirable foreigner
and is glad to see the movement I
check immigration.
