The Presidents Plea for Defense

When President Wilson goes
before the country pleading for
national defense, he is entitled
to a hearing such as no other
man has a right to command or
to expect.
Nobody can accuse the presi.
dent of being swept off his feet
by passion or fury. Nobody can
charge him jijno or militaristic
motives. Opponents of pre-.
paredness may cry for peace, but
so far as the United States is
concerned Woodrow Wilson has
kept the peace. There has been
no day since he took office when
he could rot have plunged this
country into war, and he has
proved his dev tion to peace
against the heaviest kind of

The Booster And The Killer

Nearly every town has two
classes of citizens the boosters
and the killers All the world
loves the former but even the
devil shuns the latter.
Be a booster.
The town booster is known by
everyb body. for he is always 20
ing and saying something to
push lis town and his people
along. He is the man who makes
the town. The killer is the one
who destroys il
BE a booster,
The booster ever loses anv.
thing by his boosting. He boosts
other people and other people
boost him, and through this COM
bination of boosting great things
are accomplished 1t is only the
Killer who tails of his own
weight, OF his own words, of his
own deeds.
Be a booster.
The booster is like a ray of
sunshine on a cloudy day. He
orightens every thing and every
body around him. His geniality.
his cheerfulness, his energy and
his eood deeds breed hope in the
bosom of despair. His words
and his acts aid others and en-.
noble himself. But the killer
only kilIs-just Kills, kills, kills.
Be booster.
This town has many boosters,
and you all know them: YOU ad-
mlre them; you respect them.
And your respect is more pre-
clous to the genuine booster than
is your gold. 1t is only the killer
who stands alone, withou t
friends, without hope for the
future.
Be booster!
There may be a killer or two
in this town, but we hope not.
But if there are any, we hope
they will cease killing and go to
boosting There is no honor or
profit in killing. but there is
much to be gained through boost
ing.
Be a booster!
We need the booster need
more boosters. But we can ex.
ist handsomely without the
killer, for the killers principal
diversion in life to take a
knock at the town. at it's people,
at their ways, and at everything
and everybody connected there
except the killer.
Be a booster!
II there are any killers in this
town let's convert them, so wei
can all be boosters. The booster
IS ot value TO every legitimate |
hing with which he comes in
while the killer is not |
even of value to himself.
Heaven loves a booster-anll
lell is full Of killers.
Everybody boost!

Odds" for he has not hesitated
to risk his political life on the is
sue. The most exalted pacifst
sentiment is trivial when meas
ured against his actions.
That is why the presidents
speech. in favor OF preparedness
has a strength Of conviction that
is peculiarly his own. Nobody
who reads it with an open mind
can have the faintest fear that
Mr.. Wilson is trying to commit
the country to a Prussian military
policy, or that be is seeking fur
ther than to meet a situation that
cannot be ignored. He is asking
for only such a degree of pre-
paredness as will enable this
country to protect its institutions
and its liberties against foreign
aggression.
One paragraph in his prepared
speech We especially commend to
the attention of Mr.. Kitchen and
all the democrats in congress
who oppose the administrators
defense program:
I'VE stand in the midst of a
world which we did not ourselves
make and many of the forces
of which are only too jealous Of
those things which we cherish.
I'VE cannot hold it at arm S length
by holding up our hands in dis
approval and declaring our sep
aration in sympathy and purpose
from it. We Cannot make it re-
Ispect Us By ignoring it. The
hard ugly fact is, that it will
heed US only if it certainly knows
that our obligation to ourselves
and our ideas can and will be
met to the utmost and without
delay should anyone seek to en-
barasS their fulfillment or to
make it impossible"
Mr. Wilson has handled the
foreign affairs of this country
during the most trying period
since the Civil War. He alone
knows of all the difficulties and
endorsements that he has en-
countered, and he alone knows
the weight Of the responsibility
which he has had to bear alone,
for it is responsibility that can
not be shared or shifted. He
alone knows what obstacles our
unpreparedness has interposeG
to the successful assertion and
maintenance of our rights as
concesus of civilized peoples have
defined them No ether mans
opinion on the need of national
defense is of any value whatever
in comparison with his opinion,
for he has been thru the mill.
He can speak with an authority
that is denied to everybody else.
We can understand why men
of earnest and honest convic
tions might oppose the presi-
dents program on the ground
that it does not go so far as the
exigencies Of the situation de-
mand, but we are unable to un-
derstand why any intelligent cit.
izen should assert that it goes
too far. When we consider the
position in which the United
States is already placed thru no
fault of it's own. when, as the
president says, we do not know
what the circumstances of an
other month or another day may
bring FORTH" it is the sheerest
folly for any man to assume that
we ought to act as if we were
living an another planet, and
make no provision for eventual
tiles.
1t ought not to be necessary at |
a critical time like this for a ]
president of the United States
to expend his energies and his

A BLACK EYE FOR FOOTBALL.

Despite the announcement that six
teen football players were fatally in
jured on Southern gridirons during
the season just closed, it would be
unfair to argue from that fact alone
that the sport is too brutal and dang
erous to be tolerated. Such a toll of
human lives does show that there
should be a more rigid examination of
players in order that he participation
Of the physically unfit shall be pre-
vented. In connection with the an
nouncement of sixteen deaths among
Southern players, the observer should
bear in mind these facts: only one of
the victims was a college player; there
was no loss of life in any game where
Il physicians certificate was demanded
of players; the fatalities generally
were among high school and semi-pro-
fessional players.
1t is not possible wholly to free foot
ball of danger. 1t will continue to be
a rough sport if it survives. Within
the last five or six years the rules of
play have been altered so to minimize
the element of danger, but it will not
be possible to make the sport abso-
lutely safe without such fundamental
changes as would practically mean
the substitution of new game. If the
sport is to be saved from destructive
those in supervising capac-
tiles, especially in the high schools and
institutions, must give
more attention to the football regula-
tions that hold in the colleges, where
no student is permitted to play unless
a rigid physical examination shows
him to be equal to the demands of a
game SO vigorous and rough.-Savan-

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
tions and poisonous toxins before it is
absorbed into the blood Just as coal
when it burns, leaves behind GER
tain amount of incombustible material
in the form of ashes, so the food ana
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs certain amount OF
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment to
spstain the body
Ii you want to see the glow OF
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water With a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
ii, which is a harmless means OF
washing the waste material and tox-
irs from the stomach, liver. kidneys
and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetel-
ing and purifying the entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimpies or pallid COM
ieXiCn, also those who wake I'D with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
brt ath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious SPELLS, acid stom-
ach or constipation should begin this
khosphated hot wafer drinking and
are assured Of very pronouncei re-
suits in one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
tina jus as soap and hot water cleans
es, puriies and freshens the skin on
the outside, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the inside org
ans. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
Impurities into the blood, while the

FOR SECOND CLASS MAIL

According to the Chattanooga News,
Congressman Moon. of Tennessee,
chairman of the house committee on
postoffices and post roads, is of the
opinion that his committee is going to
recommend some radical changes in
the second class mail service. The
News says:
A zone system of rates for sec
ond class matter is urged instead
of the present fat rate, which was
adopted forty years ago. The pres
ent rate discriminates against
newspapers in farvor of great ma
tional magazines. The proposed
zone rate for newspapers would be
on the basis of the length of the
haul, just as in the parcel post"
Whether this change in the basis of
pay will bring about better condi-
tons, as The News editorial suggests,
will remain to be seen. On the face of
it, there would seem to be no reason,
for instance, why the government
should haul 100 pounds of newspapers
from New York City to Ell Paso for
the same price (s1) that it charges for
hauling 100 pounds of newspapers
from Augusta to Harlem. And vet
that is exactly what the government
does with letters; although, of course
the letter rate is many times higher
than the newspaper ar magazine rate
But whatever the basis of pay, the
government mikht well attempt some
improvement in its second class mail
service, which is. at present far from
satisfactory. The Chronicle, for in
Stance, like every other newspaper re-
ceives complaints almost daily about
the non-delivery of papers, and, upon
investigation, it is found, that, in a
majority of instances. the fault lies
with the postal service-which, ap-
parently, does not give the same con-
sideration to second-class mail matter
that 1t gives to other mail
If the zone system would result in
an Improvement in the service, there
could be no objection to it, on the
contrary, it might prove real benefit
to a vast majority of newspapers and
their subscribers, as we'll

HIS FRIEND HURT

But He Thanked His
Comrade Later.

Once upon a time word came to
Henry A. Voehl, of Plainf1eld, n. J.,
that a close friend had been injured.
and full of anxiety he visited the
afflicted man, who was suffering from
a sprained ankle.
ut was so bad that the leg had
turned black" said Mr.. Voehl in re-
lating the story. II told him would
have him out in week and he laughed
at me. But l took him bottle of
Sloan's Liniment, that night he put
some on and noticed the ankle felt bet
ter. told him to use it every day.
and in three days his ankle was practi-
cally well. In four days he was work
ing. He gladly admits that Sloan's
Llniment put him on his feet"

ltcrial reward, he yielded to an insist.
ent public demand for his services. AS
the Democratic nominee he is due the
ungrudging support of all who voted
in the primary, and no one with a
proper sense of honor and right will
be unmindful of that obligation.
The paramount reason, however, for
Mr.. Gamblers election is the commun-
ity's vital need of his leadership and
leadership at this crucial juncture OF
its affairs. The next two years will
be epochal in Atlanta's history, for
good or i'll. The city must go forward
or backward. 1t must set its munich
pal house in order or suffer deepening
confusion and danger. 1t must build
more schools, or confess to a break
down of its educational machinery. IT
must improve more streets, lay more
sewers, increase its health and hos
pital facilities and give the taxpayer
3 fairer return on his money. It must
meet these and other responsibilities,
OF find itself outstripped in the race of
Southern progress.
This is not matter of merely gem
eral Importance but of direct, per-
sonal Importance to every citizen. Self
interest, if not patriotism, should con-
vince every one who has any stake in
the community's affairs that Atlanta
needs as mayor a man of Mr.. Gamblers
strength and character, and ability
the ablest man available.
The fact that he has opposition
should arouse the rank and file of At
lanta voters to prove their fealty to
Democratic obligations and their de-
vction to the city's welfare. They
should take no chances whatsoever
where a matter of such great import
is concerned. They should make Mr..
Gamblers election not only certain but
overwhelming. -Atlanta Journal
