Word was received Wednesday
that Judge Tripp had returned a
decision in favor of the plaintiff in
the case of the city vs.. Louis Horn
er. This action was brought
against Horner for furnishing
liquor to an alleged habitual drum
kard. Attorneys for Hornpr
maintained that the law relating
to such cases referred only to
saloonkeepers. Judge Tripp's de-
cision, however, does not con6ne
this statute to saloon men alone.
We understand that the case will
be appealed to the supreme court.

Postmaster General Burleson
recommends that the salaried rur.
al mail carriers be done away with
and that the rural mail routes be
handled under private contracts.
This would do away with the civil
service feature under which the
carriers are selected and hold their
jobs by test of efficiency, and
would put the work into the hands
of those who would do it the cheap.

ing, but it wouli be saving at the

Christmas Reflections.

Tomorrow is the one day in all
the year set apart by all Christian
nations for the celebration of uni.
versal brotherhood. It is a senti.
ment that represents the highest
civilization /, brings out the noblest
characteristics and promotes the
happiness of mankind. The sen.
timent finds a beautiful expression
in the presentation OF gifts, each
gift bearing with it a message oi
good fellowship. 1t is to be de-
plored that in so many Christian
countries today this noble senti-
ment seems to be completely over
shadowed by the baser passions OF
hatred and revenge. Under these
conditions the burden falls upon
this country to emphasize that no.
bier spirit more strongly than u.s.
ual, and we have risen to the oc-
casion by sending ship loads OF
gifts to the stricken families who
are victims of a crime dignified by
the title of war. The results of
this expression of good will can
not be measured by the value OF
the gifts nor by the temporary
qualification of the recipients, but
the spirit which prompted the Civ
ing will exert a lasting influence,
and will present to those people a
happy contrast to the misery and
degradation occasioned by the
passions which now dominate those
unfortunate countries. But the
opportunity for manifesting that
spirit of universal brotherhood
does not all lie across the big wa
ters. There is need of it at home
and in every community. Tomor-
row is a good time to begin that
practice, and we may add much
to the happiness both of ourselves
and of the whole world by contln-
uing it during the entire year.

EUROPEAN WAR SHAT.

Nation Rings With Cries of Stricken

BY Peter Radford

Lecturer National Farmers Union,
King Cotton has suffered more from
the European war than any other ag-
ricultural product on the American
continent The shells of the belliger-
ents have bursted over his throne,
frightening his subjects and shatter-
ing his markets, and panic-stricken,
the nation cries out God save the
king!"
People from every walk of life have
contributed their mite toward rescue
work. Society has danced before the
king; milady has decreed that the
family wardrobe shall contain only
cotton goods; the press has plead
with the public to buy a BALE;
bankers have been formulating hold
ing plans; congress and legislative
bodies have deliberated over relief
measures; statesmen and writers
have grown eloquent expounding the
inalienable rights of sHis Majesty"
and presenting schemes for preserv-
ing the financial integrity of the
stricken staple, but the sword of Eu-
rope has proved mightier than the pen
of America in fixing value upon this
product of the sunny south. Prices
have been bayoneted, values riddled
and markets decimated by the battling
hosts of the eastern hemisphere until
the American farmer has suffered a
war loss of S400,000,OO0, and a bale
of cotton brave enough to enter

The present emergency presents as

the American farmer and from the
viewpoint of the producer, would seem
to justify extraordinary relief meas
ures, even to the point of bending the
constitution and straining business
rules in order to lift a portion of the
burden off the backs of the farmer,
for unless something is done to check
the invasion of the war forces upon
the cotton fields, the pathway of the

1t seems to be quite generally
recognized that as secretary of
state, VIM. j. Bryan is practically y
a failure. He devotes very little
time TO his official duties, leaving
the work to be done by his subor-
diuates under the direction of the
president. The drudgery of de-
partmental work has no attractions
for him. He prefers to be talking
theories of government and receiv-
ing the applause of his admirers
rather than performing the drudg-
cry of putting his theories into
practice. Yet, on account of his
political influence by which he can
hold certain members of congress
in line for the presidents policies
he is said to be too valuable
MEMBER Of the cabinet to be drop
ped. Under present conditions we
need real secretary of state, so
why not create another depart
ment suited to Mr.. Bryan's tastes
to be known as the disciplinarian.

Judge Jones in case tried at
Sioux Falls holds that the license
fee required for hotel inspection is
double taxation and therefore the
law requiring it is unconstitutional
Under the old law the hotel inspec-
tor charged the hotel keeper fee
for inspection, but under the new
regulations the license is paid into
the general fund and the cost of
inspection is paid out of the same
fund, and this system the judge
holds is double taxation.

hen his term expires, we must all unite
our energies and secure him another Female
Seminary to preside over.
1t seems to me that the Professor took
office in March year ago. | think he made
a speech ON that occasion, endorsing the Ten
Commandments, the Golden Rule, the Lords
Prayer, and the Long-metre DoXoIo9y.
Like all of the Professors speeches, it read
we'll to those who had time and inclination
to read it.
Along with the Female Professor-or
rather the Professor of The Female Seminary
came into office the Peerless Bryan who
believes that Lot and Noah both got drunk
on grape-]ulce.
Also, came Josephine Daniels of North
Carolina, who took charge of our Water
Department., and sold two of our Naval
doves of peace to Greece in order that she
might renew her war on the Turkeys.
1t was Bishop Hoss of Nebraska who dedi-
Gated one of our battle-ships with prayer,
and sent it forth as a messenger Of brotherly
Christianity
BY the time the Bishop had ridden his free
pass back home our battlc-ships were missing
up the streets of Mexico with red stleamlets
of human gore.
A naval martinez, named Mayo had eaten
too much New England pie, and had brought
on temporary fit Of indigestion and insan-
ity.
He demanded salute to his flag, because
he had sent some of his marines where they
had no business.
The Mexican mind not being trained to the
niceties Of naval martinetsn, nor to the pos
sibilities Of New England pie, could not
understand why Mexico should salute our
flag to rectify mistake Of Mayo.
Boom The war was on. \ score Of brave
American boys fell dead, and score Of
American idiots have since been debating who
was the first victim of this foolish sacrifice
Protestant, or Roman Catholic.
Then our Professor Woodrow Wilson
declared pontfcally, that "we' were not
waging war upon Mexico, but upon Huerta.
ssWe" killed several hundred Mexicans, to
prove that our Female Professor was right
as to whom 'we'' were fighting.
During all this time, Uuerta continued to
drink Cognac in Mexico City, while our Pro-
fessor drank orangeade in Washington,
Then ''we' did our best to entice Carranza
and Villa into q truce 1cHh HUcrta. Had this
Roman Catholic plot succeeded, the armies Of

But Carranza and Villa smelt the mouse
from the very first, and refused to stop fight
ing Huerta.
From victory to victory, those patriots
marched until it WAS question to whether
the crime-soalcd Huerta could escape with
his life
At last, he ran away. under a heavy guard;
and it is reported that he has been given pro-
lection on a German vessel

tions. -...
In our big cities, those crooks control the

country people of the power given them in
the Constitution of Georgia, they could make
political slaves out of the country people,
just as Boykin Wright 0utlawed nine conn.,
try counties, during the Nineties, by stu1lng

IF Hole Smith can fool the country peo-
pie into electing him to the o. S. Senate,
along with Hardwick, or along with Fielder,
he could stuff enough ballots into the boxes
in Atlanta to rule this q0hOze State
In that event, all the one hundred and forty

that two-cent passenger fare would be a
bad thing, and that cheap money, on long
loans, would be a bad thing.
In this matter of the Parcels Post Smith
and Hardwiclz agree, and they are both voic-
ing the opinions of the Express Companies.
The only difference between these two serv-
ants of the corporations is, that Smith works
for them by indirection, in the way of a
deadly amendment to the law, while Hard
wick openly and shameessly attempts to keep
