which, on a narrow view. would
tempt one to despair of civiliza-
ton.
The way to preserve peace is to
prepare for peace. Absolutely the
worst way to preserve peace is
to prepare for war. Every dis
turbance of the political equilib-
rum involves a corresponding
disturbance else where. A boy
with 4 new knife wants to whit
tie something. Nations possessed
of enormous armaments are in
danger of using them. Andrew
Carnegie did not eXaggerate when
he said that a spark might set
Europe ablaze. Sir Edward Grey,
Secretary of State in King Ed
wards Cabinet and now in King
Georges. spoke a momentous
warning when he said that the
present race of ornaments, If
continued in, would sooner or
later submerge civilization itself.
John HAY, our own famous Sec
rotary of state, described war as
the most ferocious and futile of
human follies.
Futile! Economic changes are
making for the worlds peace.
Norman Angel. in his Great
Illusion" has brought wildly be-
fore us the implications of these
changes. War does not pay, A
war of conquest does not pay the
conquerer A nation which de-
stroyed another would ruin itself
There is one trouble with the
man who goes on protesting that
war has always existed and will
always exist. The world has gone
past him while he stood still, and
he does not know it. When land
was the typical form Of wealth,
and a conqueror could appropriate
the land and parcel it out among
his followers. he had something to
gain by a war of ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Land is no longer the sole nor the

English-speaking peoples of the

The plans agreed upon in Eng

acting with generosity. From the

now trying to remedy the mistake
OF the British Government in de-
clining to participate officially in
the Panama Pacific Exposition.
From the London exposition a
representative exhibit will be sent
to San Francisco.
The American celebration will
be nation wide There is no
State which has not its committee

weary of butchery which leads
only to bankruptcy and of tragedy

1t is just within the bounds of
possibility that when our sense

it will reinforce our common
sense and refuse to perpetuate
this sordid and bloody farce.

us:

Editor The Georgian;
I notice from various sources
and especially through the press
of the State, that there are quite
mittees of the various counties
of the State calling their primary
elections at very early date
some of them as early as March
of this year, to nominate the vari-
Gus officers for the county offices.
1 memely wish to inquire If this
can be A LEGAL ELECTION?
In answer to the question | will
refer the executive committees
of the various counties who have
or have not acted on the ques-
ton to the act of the General AS
sembly for 1908.
I hold that under this act an
election held before after the 9Th
day of June would not only be
contrary to law, but absolutely
void. This law says that the reg
istrars in each county shall meet
on the goth day of April in the
year when the general election is
to be held, land begin the work
of perfecting a true and correct
list If the qualified voters of their
oo,t,+v The r,egiStra re
shall proceed with their work and
complete the same not LATER
THAN JUNE THE FIRST" and
not later than five days after
completing the list of voters, THE
registrars shall file with the clerk
of the Superior Court Of their
county a complete list of the
registered voters of the county
as prepared and determined by
them"
Section So, of the 1910 code, of
the State of Georgia, which cod
ifies the act of the General AS
sembly of 1908 on the subject of
elections is as follows:
mo. IS. REGISTERED voT-
ERS' LIST TO BE FILED. With
in five days after completion the
list of voters, as provided in this
article, the registrars shall file
with the clerk of the Superior
Court of their county a com
plete list of the registered voters
of the county as prepared and de-
termined by them. Said list shall
be alphabetically arranged by
militia districts and in case a city
is located within the county, by
wards of the city, and said list
shall be the list of registered vot-
ers for the GENERAL ELEC-
