WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

pean war has been a shock to Amer
lea, as to the rest of the world, post
poning the day of complete industrial
recovery. But the first shock is over.
We know the worst and are able to
discount it, to a degree. And, besides,
this war brings some minor cOmpen-
sations.
1t depends on the average man of
observation and sense, to a large eX-
tent, to determine how long ii will
take America to recover her full bust
ness stride. BY pessimistic forebod-
ings. he will delay the contamination;
~ crit and good cheer. he is no less
certain to hasten the coming OF the
better day.
The need of the day, therefore, is
for men and women of stout heart
and clear vision able TO pierce the
clouds which filter the suns brightest
rays and see the undimmed brilliance
beyond. And with this grit and Wis
ion may well go q deep thankfulness
that America has been saved the hOr-
rors which blight 50 large part of
the civilized world. It is a blessing
TO be an American in these days, and
no American of sound heart and clean
conscience should be other than an
optimist.
Talk hopefulness. Put money into
circulation. Hire labor. Work at
whatever comes to hand, till your own
special kind of job is open. Be
cheerful and cut the acquaintance of
every pessimist you know. Talk cheer;
radiate confidence.
To q far greater degree than some
realize. times are what people make
them. Millions have been lost
through unreaSOning Danic-because
people believed in the existence Of
conditions which did not exist. Let
every patriotic American enroll as an
evangelist of business OPTIMISM

FIREBRAND STILL FLAMES HIGH.


Turkey makes the 18th nation
which has taken cards in this war, if
Portugal can be counted as one of
the belligerents. The neutralS of
Europe now number but 10, and with
the exception Of Italy not one of them
can be rated as a power of the first
class.
1t seems highly probable that Tur-
keys entrance will quickly bring
Greece into the fight. Just where Bull
garia stands is not clear. 1t is said
TO have been Austrian influence which
urged her to fight Greece and Servia
over the division of the Balkan war
spOils. A Bulgarian representative
who made a prO-Austrian speech at
Budapest at the beginning of the big
war. was called home but that may
merely mean that Bulgaria was de-
termined To remain neutral. ROu-
mania, too, is an unknown quantity.
Her ruler is a HohenZOllern, but pub
lie sympathy is said to ,be with Rus
STA, encouraged by the hope that in
any slicing up Of the dual monarchy
Roumania will get the Roumanian-
speaking provinces. Italy's recent
seizure Of an Albanian port, coveted
by Austria, may be the first step in
lining up with England, France and
Russia. Switzerland will certainly
keep the peace, as will Norway and
Sweden. Spain is said TO give unohi-
cial sympathies to the allies. The al
lies would like to have Holland and
Denmark in the fight, either on their
side or with the Germans. For that
would close the gateways by which
Germany obtains supplies from over
seas. Blockading of ports would
serve as we'll in the instance as vol
untary action.
Turkey saw a way to profit when
she decided TO fight. How soon will
other nations see gain for themselves
by going to war Toledo Blade.

Bull Bat Praised
As Friend Of Farmer

Washington, June 6.-Strict game
laws in southern states for protec-
ton of the night hawk or dull bat"
whose presence in cotton sections is
declared to be of inestimable value
as check to the boil weevil, was
recommended in a special bulletin
issued today by the department of
agriculture. The night hawk, with
several sorts of swallows, says the
bulletin, feed on the weevil while
on the wing. while wrens and mar
tins render valuable service to the
farmer by picking the insects from
refuse in the cotton fields and from
growing plants.
The department declares the
night hawks value to sportsmen as
food is iDfnitesimal compared to
the benifit it renders cotton grow
ers.

Mill Operators March
Through Atlanta
Contrast With To The Gay
Capital.

Atlanta, June 6-Atlanta wit
messed yesterday the first pa
rade of marching strikers she
has seen in many Years. And it
was a pathetic sight.
Some days ago a strike begun
in one of Atlanta's big bag and
cotton mills. Something of it
got into the news columns of
the Atlanta papers. Then the
mill management bought space
in the advertising columns Of the
papers and in an impressive bull
letion addressed to the public
stated that ::the strikers were a
mislead few, only 20 in fact.
That was the end of it in the
papers.
Yesterday afternoon about FIVE
O'Clock, when Peachtree and
Whitehall pavements we're throng.
ed with fashionably gowned stroll
lers and shoppers, four mounted
policemen, riding solemnlY abreast
were observed coming from the
direction of Whitehall. Behind the
policemen, as they cleared the way
STROBE a gaunt, pale-faced man of
middle age, in the worn, rough
garments of a mill worker.
AwkwardlY he carried aloft a
great American flag. At a distance
behind him, coming two and two
there marched or rather struggled,
some three hundred men, women
and children. The stamp of the
factory was on their pale faces.
They had no drums or trumpets.
They had no banners save the
Stars and Stripes. They hadn's
had even the forethought to have
a streamer painted. They, moved
in silence, looking neither to right
nor left.
The gaily dressed throngs on the
pavements stopped to watch them
go by. Few people were interest
ed enough to ask who they were.

Limited Sport In Election
No Joint Debates

Atlanta, June 6. This is going
to be a bad year for joint debates.
The crop Of them, though not af-
fected by the dry spell, will be
mighty small. and the old timers
who dearly loved wrangles will
have to go unsatisfed. Govern
or John M. Slaton, candidate for
the United States Senate, has
reiterated his statement that he
simply would not be drawn into
any joint debating and has ex-
planned exactly why.
Il can see no good in joint de-
bates. They usually wind up in
a contest Of mudslinging and bill
ingsgate, and the man who is
most proficient in that art gets
the most applause, but not neces-
sarily the largest number of
votes. l do not believe in such
methods. The people of the state
know me and my record for the
past twenty years. l think the
average man can be of more SER
vice to his state and to himself
by blowing his fields than by lis
4ening to two men abuse each
other. / think the farmers feel
that way about it also.''
1t is very evident that the gov
ernor means to stick to what he
originally said.
