The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1916-03-01
VIEWS

We have 10 idea what the w.
& A. road commission will DO
with the state road, but we have
reached the conclusion that the
wisest and best thi ng that can be
done with it would be to sell 1t.
We thought for a long time
that it would be a great thing Tor
the state to issue bonds and eX-
tend this road from Atlanta to
the sea (St. Mary's being the
best point because the state owns
valuable wharfage at that place.,
using the convicts of the state
for the work, but it takes
MIGHTY BIG MEN to pull off a
thing like this, and since the
state is 80 sadly lacking in this
respect there is no use thinking
about the extension plan longer.
The best thing now to do is to
sell the road to the hiGhest and
best bidder for CASH take the
money and pay all the debts of
the state. so we will not have
TO RUN to New York every year
to borrow money to pay school
teachers. After all the debts are
paiC then take the residue, which
should be around eight million
dollars, and loan it at the best
rate of interest, ard let the in-
terest go toward the public
schools and FREE school books.
or let the full amount of eight
million be expended for free
school books just as long as it
will last.
There is no use for any more
quibbling about compulsory edu-
cation, bat the Legislature should
pass the law at ONCE, Tie
state needs and demands COM
pulsory education. So use the
money from the sale of the state
road to build the necessary school
houses and purchase books; for
larger dividends will come back
to the people through this plan
than any other. and the children
OF the people of Georgia to-day
would receive a rich inheritance
which nothing could take away.
The greatest asset Of a state is
it's MANHOOD and WOMAN
HOOD, and there is nothing
which is so fundamentally neces-
sary as EDUCATION in the per-
lection of manhood and Wo-
manhood-it is even laying ny
riches in the world to come,
where rust and moth doth not
corrupt. There is nothing which
will give the proper balances to
mankind like education, and
there is no inheritance so bene-
fetal provided there is any
thing in him. and nothing which
contributes 50 largely to the
making of a state or nation. If
the money from the sale Of the
road could be 50 expended edu-
cation would lie enhanced posi-
bly, so per cent, and in this way
every man. woman and child in
the state would receive their pro
lata in the great benefits to be
derived. 1T Is THE RIGHT
THING TO DO.
Another thing, there is no use
for the state to be in the railroad
business. for all the other roads
have the advantage, and the
property will become less valua-

That Ever Growing Body
Editorial in The Asheville On. c.

Citizen.)
Nothing can be more repugnant to
the American sense of justice than the
persistence with which the courts of
various sections of the country, doubt
less aggravated by special interests Of
selfish nature, hound that ever
growing body of religionists known
as Christian Scientists. For the third
or fourth time this year the great
state of New York has lent itself to
a form of persecution which seeks to
convict a man who practices the art
of healing with prayer. The strang-
est part of each proceeding is found
in the language of the warrant which
charges the accused of practising
medicine without a license" If
prayer is to be Incorporated into ma
terra medica, then every mother who
has knelt beside the cradle of her
sick child, and every minister of the
gospel who has asked the prayer of
his congregation for some afflicted
member, has been equally guilty and
has practised medicine without a Ii
cense.
II seems that Christian Scientists
so accused are held guilty of the
death of a patient when death en-
sues; yet when we enter the recog-
nized circles of medical practice.
where the death totals run ND into
the thousands every year in given
