Of peculiar interest to the teachers and

BURWELL'S DECISION.

The definite announcement from
William H. Burwell, speaker of
Georgia House of Representatives that
he would not be a candidate for gov
ernor, did not come as a surprise to
many people who have watched the
trend of affairs and attempted to grasp
an insight into Georgias political year
for 1916.
UNDOUBTEDLY, Mr.. Burwell is a strong
member of the general assembly and a
valuable asset in Georgia's political
life. Many people do not believe he is
as deep in the mire as some critics
would have the public think. But, it
would be unwise for Mr.. BurwelI to
attempt to seize possible opportun-
ity of victory because of the status Of
affairs.
In the statement which MIR. Burwell
made, carried in the Sunday morning
papers Of the state, he talked very in
terestingly of several questions before
the people of Georgia. His attitude on
compulsory education is becoming pop
ular in the state, but above all his ar.
gument in favor of the sale of the
state road is most conclusive.
Public men in Georgia arc realizing
the merits of the disposition of the
W. & A by selling it. Governor Har-
ris has stated that he believed in the
preservation of the w. & A" To many
this is not clear. The preservation OF
the w. & A" can mean it's sale; its
lease; its operation by the state it
self.
If a public man is to have his candi-
ddCy LOT any once receive careful ana
thoughtful attention in the minds of
the people in this day, he ought to
speak plainly and unequivocally. We
trust the study which Governor Harris
is giving to the w. & A. road will reach
such stage that he will be able before
the primary to make known his final
decision. We have the utmost conf
dence in the governors decision being
a plain proposition looking towards the
sale of the state road so the common
wealth of Georgia can get out of the
railroad business.
