To The People Of Georgia:

The strength Of the govern
melt Of q free people lies in the
deliberate making and the fear
less and impartial enforcement of
just laws. Preference for q class
and fear Of q class by those who
make and administer the avs are
alike odious to all who hold JUS
tee as a basic principle and not
the temporary expedient of the
opp0rtunist.
So believing, I pledge myself,
if elected to the United States
Senate, to introduce and press
bills for enactment into laws, for
forcing the labor unions, q large
majority Of whose members are
foreign born, to obey the laws in
the same manner as they are
obeyed by all other citizens of
this republic. Laboring people
have a perfect right to organize
these unions, but they should be
Incorporated and put under the
same penalties as are provided
for common carriers, since it is a
matter of common knowledge
that they obgtruct or prevent the
operation Of the common carriers.

be debarred.

Cash Investment of thte Railways
 During Six Years

During the fiscal years 1908 to 1913, inclusive, the steam railways of the United States of Class I in vested in the roads and equipment cash to the amount of$4, ,010, ,3S5,303. Railways of Class I, so designated by the Interstate Commerce Com mission, are those with annual revenues of over $1,000,000. They include about 90 per cent of the mileage, receive more than 96 per cent of the revenues and handle more than 9S per cent of the traffic
 This cash investment of the operat- ing railways of Class I of the East ern District during the six years was greater than the amount of capital securities issued by them during this period, and was 199 per cent of the aggregate of their capital securities outstanding June 30, 1913; of the rail ways of the same class of the South ern District it was 21.1 per cent, and Cl bilN iallIo ol tllC Sttlilt CldSS ol the Western District it was 23.1 per cent of the aggregate of their capi- tai securities outstanding June 30, 1913. That is, the cash actually ex- pended by these railroads during the last six years upon their properties used in transportation amounts to more than one-fifth of their total cap italization at the close of the last ifs cal year. This is at the rate of $66S- 397,5 ,551 per year.
 These figures are obtained through a compilation made by the Bureau of Railway Economies from the reports of the railroads to the Interstate Com merce Commission, and have not here tofore been collated.

time the insect is called "bud worm" Just before the corn begins to hard en off it should be cut and fed to stock. If this is not done the worms will have time to mature, go into the ground and come out as moths only to deposit eggs for larger genera tion.
 All wormy fruits should be picked removed from the field and disposed of in such way that the worms will be killed. Experiments in one of our southern experiment stations show that this practice alone may mean the difference of 5 per cent wormy fruit and so per cent wormy fruit at the end of the season.
 When the crop has been picked and the season is closed the vines should be plowed under deeply.

Probably the greatest menace to organized society yet is the society or orti-society known as the Industrial Workers of the World. They are not ;n eooperation with any other labor orcanization and in many respects are not organized. If they were tbere is no tell ing what they might be able to do. They are anarchists of a peculiar type. Theydivide men in- to two classes the laboring class or the employed and the capitalist class or the employers. They insist there is nothing in common between tbese two classes and there is nothing +o arbitrate or to consider between clear cut and positive and do not retreat from a position once taken, it seems. They have many < men of thought and influence among thier number. such as Upton Sinclair, They do not hesitate to use destructive methods to accomplish their designs against capital wherever they think necessary and employ much the same methods that a Russian Anarchist would use. Policemen have just dis covered, they think, a plot being matched in a dwelling place for mem- bers of the order in New York, where by it was intended to destroy the Po- cantico Hills estate of John D. Rock afeler. An explosion caused the plot to be discovered. Four members of the order were killed by their own bomb
 The enemies of organized society are many and there are men who say they do not care to take any part in politics or in the affairs of govern ment because there is so much corrup- ton to be dealt with. The way to rid ourselves of corrupt government and the enemies to good government is to join the forces for good govern ment and do the work of a good citi- zen.
