took the same noble view of the matter, and
decided that it were better to violate the Con-
stltutlon, and deny free primary education to
the children of Georgia, than to ''embarrass
Mr. Brttain''
And yet ''Mr. Brittain'' wrote DR.. Turner
that he had a1a0ays favored Free books He
told the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce the
same thing, and his speech to that effect ap-
peared in The Consultations
McCrory's bill did not 90 as far as free
books, but only asked for books at cost, as
ascertalned by competitive bidding
Evidently, the Committee on Education
knows Brittain's real attitude, and they passed
ever has statements to the c07tr07au, as par
donable attempts at deception.
Senator McCrory says in his letter that
Mr.. Moon of Baxley ''labored faithfully to
defeat the bill, and he has been assisted by
most of the Professors at the State Uni
verslty, and even some employees in the
Capitol here have lobbied against it, They
succeeded"

Rather than ''embarrass Mr.. Brittain,' who
has Arrays favored free books, the Committee
on Education, Professors from the Univer-
sity, and employees in the Capitol, unite
forces, and successfully battle against the bill
which would have cut out the Book Trust,

Dorsey, as usual.

Neither did Cousin Joe allude to his pc
culiar conduct lii the Benton murder case,
where the deceased had the holes in his back
Benton was the brother of the notorious
L. O. Benton, who owns chain of State

Cousin Joes conduct in that case was con-

Some of the Columbusites are beginning to
think that the statue of Justice should be taken
from the dome of Muscogees capitol building;
when the use Of the building is desecrated by
men who have no love respect for the Consti-
tuition of the United States or the State of Geor-
gia; more puzzling to us is that the Court House
can be secured for anti-relig ous lecturers who
are sometimes non-residents and non-tax payers
or Georgia, Muscogee County. Would it not
be we'll to inquire just what kind Of a talk is to

is entirely too hard on the Sheriff He might
have to taste oratons that would make him
sick; and he himself might greatly enjoy
speeches which make other folks sick. You
never can tell, in matters of taste.
l have been told that some people really
love beets, cucumbers, and oat meal, but
never could bring myself to believe it,
So you see, if I were Sheriff, and were
stationed at the Court house, to taste mans
grafton, he sure would have to cut out the
beets, the cucumbers, and the oat meal.
I wouldn't stand for it, if he lugged them
In.
Carl Vinson has pulled off the slickest one,
yet. His Committee met on July 23rd, and
decided that August LIST should be the last
day for entries.
By the time the action of Wilson'S Commit
tee was known over the District, the t2l1e-
limit had already erpired
That sort of trickery may serve an i'm
mediate purpose, but the after effects will be
bad.
Carl Vinson has gone back on the men who
elected him; and he took snap Judgment on
the District, because he was afraid to face
an opponent before the people.
Just such political chicanery as that, pro-
duceS independent candidates.
A Congressman who resorts to sharp
practise to forestall, opposition, IS SIRE to haze
1t, in aggravated form, sometime and some
way.
For 25 years, the First Congressional Dis
trict has nominated under the County-unit
plan. Pete Meldrim of Chatham, and Bob
Neely of Burke have made the sudden dis
covery that this County-unit plan was
AuSt2pGl, not American.
Bob Nicely, it seems, has been reading up
on Austria, which of course he should have
done, some % years ago.
The County principle, was embodied
i'll our Constitution of 1917 by such statesmen
as Robert Toombs, A. r. Lawton, Chas. J.
Jenkins, w. NJ Reese Nelson Tiff, and Au-

Unfortunately, they had not studied

DENOUNCED BY LUTHER ROssER IN THE
FRANK CASE!
Henslee stood firm and true, for LAW, for
JUSTICE, for WOMANHOOD!
The funniest detail of the State campaign,
Is the naive contribution of that sterling pat
riot, j. A. Perry
He seriously states to the public that his
mind is now concentrated upon the study of
new and complicated questions Of transporta-
ton; and that, If the people, on September
18th, should be SO intrusive and interruptive
as to nominate Guyt McLendon, it would be
impossible for him-Perry-to properly pur-
sue his meditations on freight rates
Perry says that his defeat, ''at this hnae,'
would be calamity to the State, which all
rlght-thlnking Georgians would hereafter
remorsefully deplore.
Apparently, we can never defeat the ms
at a time when they think it can be done with
safety to the Ship of State; but Perry is the
only humorous incumbent who has ever told
us that defeat would disturb his studies
In his eagerness to make a joke, he forgot
that his term lasts until the close of next year,
and that he will therefore have all the time
necessary to learn as much as his head will
hold.
Perry is the patriot who beat Uncle ODE
Stevens; and Perrys record is not improve
ment on that of Uncle ODE. The Georgia
Electric & Power Company went before the
r. r. Commission, and asked leave to issue
stocks and bonds to the amount of S57 OOO,-
OOO
Perry voted with the majority of the Com
mission in deciding that $47 100000 was the
greatest plenty
Then, without any new evidence, or any
further argument, Perry changed his vote,
and the Corporation got permission to saddle
an additional ten millions, upon the patient,
pack horse public.
That sudden and spectacular change in
Perry's vote was worth ten million dollars to
the Power Co,
In exact proportion to its benefit to North
ern capitalists, was its injury to Georgians
who pay the charges which yield dividends
on the extra $10,000,000.
Chairman Murphey Gambler scathingly
arraigned Perry for his unaccountable flop;
but will not now quote from that published
excoriation, lest I disturb Perry in his pro-
found studies on freight rates.
Clark Howell seems to be sore, because Bob
Blackburn beat him and Bishop Gambler, in
their boisterous efforts to bust the Constltu-
ton.
Clark says, editorially, that he and the
Bishop will beat us, next time.
No. you won't, Clark. You'll get fewer
votes, each time, because the people are waking
up on church questions.
Robert Toombs, Charles j. jenkins, and
the Judges Reese knew what they. were about,
when they prohibited State aid to churches.
