MR. RIVES TAKES A SHOT AT
SOUTHERN CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR'S

Editor Dawson News: The time has passed
when Southern members of both houses of con-
gress can go there because they popular judges
or successful farmers. Unless a member can de-
velop enough initiative to read the signs of the
times and place the material good of his section
above oratory he should be retired. Democrats
have emphasized economy; they should begin to
emphasize efficiency. We should stand for few
public servants possible, but should also
stand for share of the public tax money 1t is
well to cut down mail routes to make the carrier
more efficient but the money thus saved should
be trebled, and postroads over which these car
riers go made straight, smooth and hard. The
rivers of a size smaller than the Savannah at Sa-
vannah should be developed by private capital
into sources of electrical power to run machinery,
furnish light and homes, and mo-
tors to carry freight we'll made routes
to the nearest trunk line railroads to be by them
transmitted to the ports, and the imports brought
back for like distribution by these motor routes
through the country. The appropriations made
and pending for the Flint Altamaha, Ocmul-
gee and Chattahoochee rivers would make routes
through twice the territory helped and enable
four times the people to market their products and
carry the manufactures needed back to the farms
the development of these rivers will do. And
until Western congressman will consent for just
as many dollars to be spent in developing South
ern mail routes is given for artesian wells,
roads making and irrigation dams in the West and
railroads in Alaska they should be made to I'M
in their territory will stop. They these things,
but does the South need roads for developing
and making habitable her waste farms and inducing
white people to settle and develop her lands.
This light should shine in this darkness Very
respectfully, ANDREW P. RIVES.

Worthless Investigations.

It is generally agreed that the half million dol
lars spent by the Industrial Relations Commission
in its study Of the labor problem has been wasted,
with nearly every member of the board present.
ing his individual report; and the country will be
as wise as before, but wiser.
There is a great tendency in state legislatures
and congress to side-step questions by handing
them over to specially created commissions. When
ever members don't know how to vote or afraid
to vote their convictions it is great relief to refer
matters to a commission, committee The
confdng public is thus made to believe that there
is something doing, and the weakened and in
competent member has escaped responsibility.
The libraries are full of material for study of
any important problem. A legislator who does
not know his own mind find endless exposi-
ton of such subjects by the brightest people in
the country, who know more about them than any
politically appointed members would ever learn.
Many Legislators take little pains to make them
selves intelligent great public questions. They
vote the way fractional leaders or party whips tell
them, and spend their time trying to get some
thing for constituents, attending to their private
business, enjoying sports and social life.
The really conscientious legislator will find a
world of material awaiting his attention. 1t will
make his term of service working one, but his
life will be enriched and his sympathies enlarged.
Technical subjects occasionally need the service Of
special investigating committees, but proposals for
such Investigations usually t. be viewed with
suspicion. They are too often the means of ac-
complishing some private questionable end, or
of relieving legislators of tasks they should per-
form themselves.

Children and Money,
From the TROY (AIaD Herald

The first step man must take if he ever expects
to become rich man is to save money. The
best way to save money is to learn its true value
This is lesson that should be acquired in the early
days of youth.
The average child recognizes the value of money
only by it's purchasing value. He knows what can
be bought with penny what he can buy with
nickel dime. A dollar to the youngster does
not look nearly so important five nickels for
the simple reason he comes into possession of the
smaller coin more frequently than he does with the
larger and fails to be impressed with it's import
ance. Soon he finds out however, and when he
does it is time that he should be taught the art of
saving.
When a boy reaches the age of desiring things
that he knows his parents cannot well provide for
him his natural instinct is~to earn enough money
of his own to get them. He will set to work in
many ways to do this. The manual training schools
help him.
If in the early days of his life a boy is taught
the value of saving he will be secure in later years
Like other lessons of youth will not be forgotten
The boy should not be taught to be misery and
penurlous, but he should be made to feel the neces
sity of economy. He be more liberal and still
not be wasteful He may spend his money and not
be a spendthrift.
Money is not nearly so hard to get in the United
States as in the countries of Europe, nor is thrift
understood here as it is there. If the wage work
ers of the old world had the money earning
chances that are to be found this side of the
Atlantic their accumulations would total much
more than they are now ample as they seem to be
toward furnishing enormous capital for carrying
on the war in which their governments are engaged
When the boy learns to save his pennies he will
soon learn how to the dimes and dollars
When the age of manhood is reached he will be
we'll along the road to independence
The millionaires today, in a great majority Of
cases where their wealth has not been inherited,
began life poor boys sons of poor parents
The force Of necessity taught them the value OF
money. Want drove them into frugal ways OF llV-
ing. 1t is a hard lesson this lesson OF poverty
but it makes a man appreciate a dollar when ne
earns and also the advantage of saving and
adding to it.

Another Old Friend Under Ban.

Those scientific sharps keep on the job. and are
trying to make believe they earn their salaries
Now it is the old-tme family wash rag, which has
topped over many complexion with no thought
of the identity of the owner, that has come under
their displeasure and condemnation. The United
States public health service agents have decided
that it is accountable for about everything that has
been going wrong in some of the nations best
regulated home circles.
According to the health services report the ia
miliar square of towelling has been a more pro-
life distributor of germs than the common towel,
which, in it's way aided the spread of disease mate
rally Even the printing office towels, which have
been noted for their habit of falling off the roller
after few years and splintering into a thousand
pieces, are regarded as harmless compared with
the official wet and soggy scrubber.

Are We Monkeys !?

In opposing proposed laws to require medical
certificates of those desiring to marry Alabama
newspaper cites the failure of such statutes in 9th
states, and says
Wisconsin has a similar law, but efforts are
being made for its repeal Statistics indicate that
the Wisconsin law has been harmful in its effects
During the first year of its existence the num-
Der of marriage licenses issued 900 less than
during the previous year. Commenting upon the
law the Chicago Journal declares It's chief eff
fects thus far have been to promote wedding ex-
cursiOns outside of the state and to increae COM
mon law marriages and irregular unions
For Alabama the editor says, such a law
would increase the number of wedding ceremonies
performed in the middle of the Chattahoochee
river across the line in Georgia; it would send
young couples to Tennessee on the north Missis-
sipp on the west, and Florida on the south, where
they would be free to marry in the good oId-fash-
toned way"
In a burst of righteous indignation the Alabama
editor concludes his arragnment of the and
nonsensical marriage fad as follows:
Are a lot of monkeys that must have
official keeper no matter where go or what
do? Are to be herded, branded, counted and
numbered at the behest of a statute on the
sumption that individual responsibility and indi-
Vidual liberty but whimsical concessions made
by the state to its weak but promising, subjects?
Is there to be in future nothing the individual
may do without the sanction of the state? Is
there to be nothing the individual may call pri-
wate?'
