What Is Platform, Together
With Other Comments In What
Should Have Been a Real Story

ne is a man who should write this
story-which is about Hugh Dorsey.
Our first question was-how's the
reception he is getting? Britt referr-
ed me candidly to what he is saying
very day through the Constitution, and
he swears by that. So, Dorsey under
that testimony is being greeted by
large audiences.
Next we queried hin-what's NOV
ing the folks then? He answers that
the people of Georgia are tired of I'M
rest in politics. disguised with the oc-
cupation of politician; delighted with
chance to meet man who is coming
to see them for their support. Britt
says this is true of Dorsey.
Is Dorsey sincere in all that his
platform he is promulgating? was a
query we shot at Craig. Britt says he

(BY CRANSTON WILLIAMS.)

Britt Craig was to have written this
story,
He relishes those things which gel
close to nature; touches the heart
strings; tunes the discordant notes Of
unrest. He writes about those things
which you like to read about. He
catches the trend of an audience, and
moves his fingers glibly along to write
what they think-not what they say
He is making his first trip out with &
politician, but that doesn't deter him
from making a success with the as
signment. For Craig is the first white
man who saw the body of Mary Pha-
gan after the alarm was sounded; ne
is the man who went through Texas
and entered Mexico in search of the
helms sisters; he is the man that drew
readable news from the ill-equipped
soldiers at Camp Harris. So you see,

ture were experienced aviators, which
perhaps explains the collision, but now
they claim to be "vaccinated" and de.
mand the privilege of going to the
front.
''Vaccinated" in aviation parlance
means that the pilot has had his newt
able accident and has come out of it
all pockets filed with luck. Aviation
accidents are so seldom anything else
than aftal.
A man who has been "vaccinated" in
the aviation is called in French a
"yeinard"-a lucky dog" he may go
on with his dangerous career with a
tranquil mind; with ordinary precau-
ton he need fear no disaster.
For beginners, such as were Serg-
eants M-- and VI, the Vacin-
alton is the great event. Once inoculat-
ed with the virus of luck, they are rec
ognized as full fledged flyers.

say it shall not be. If there is no way
to save US from this, then let the think
ing parents of the city demand a cen
sorship Immediately which can prevent
the bringing of another such exhibit
ton as Damaged Goods" to our city.
But, says one, "the picture teaches a.
moral lesson for young people toI
learn" The writer heard an intelli-
gent young man say in regard to the
picture in question, there is no use
for any young person with ordinary
Intelligence to be forced to look on so
much pictorial filth in order to get a
lesson as to the effects of immortality
To this we heartily agree. If there
were no other way to teach this les
son, then we would feel obliged to
bring these questionable pictures here
to save our young people, but has God
given no other way? Has the privilege
of parenthood, to teach in the sacred
quiet of the home the sure results of
sin, been relegated to the writer of the
moving picture of today? Has the
fathers voice been stilled ere he could
teach his son the results of sin?
What about our ability to teach these
needed lessons to the young by means
of splendidly written books, which tell
in no uncertain way the truth without
carrying with it stuff absolutely naus-
eous to the sensibilities OF any young
man or young woman, and which stuff
is absolutely obliged to feed the alb
normal desire for the Questionable.
The fact that this abnormal taste may
be there, is no excuse for feeding the
appetite on moral poisin, but rather We
should seek by removing all food" Of
this kind to cultivate the taste for
something morally and mentally
healthful. Back of this whole cry OF
the moral lesson" of Damaged
Goods" and others of its kind, is the
cry of the box Office receipts. Will the
thinking people of our city put the
moral influences of the city in jeopardy
10y patronizing in crowds the unhealthy
picture show to the extent that mana
gers feel justified in bringing them
here, instead of high grade pictures
which entertain and have in them no
immoral suggestion to poison the
minds of those who see them. Again
We repeat: Americas faces a crisis;
We must meet it. Shall we not think
and then act, promptly and fearlessly |
having only the good of our homes at !
stake. Shall we not see the fallacy of
the theory that immoral pictures are
the best way to teach the lessons Of
life-and shall we not forbid their pro-
duction in our city? After we send
them from us, let fathers and mothers
join in the better effort to teach !
through legitimate channels of home
and private instruction and by the
truthful printed page, the lesson that
sin will always bring harvest of sor-
row and suffering.

oerely and without gusto.

If it hadn't been for the Frank case,
would there have ever been a Dorsey
running for governor now? was an
ether. Britt looked back over the
flight of time which has been so filled
with eyents-since the early morning
he saw the dead body of the little girl.
And Britt didn't answer, but he said;
Would there have been a Whitman If
it hadn't been for the murder of Ros-
enthal?"
And now we insist we are coming
close to the secret of the opposition
which is confronting Dorsey. The mar
himself is congenial; likeable; friend
i ly, pleasant and candid. But the things
which put him where he is-they are
the things which many Georgians are
studying.
Dorsey is making a campaign which
is undoubtedly counting votes for him.
And SO with the other three candidates.
The question is-all four men have
the same platform substantially, and
each wants the Office of governor.
We have read about the "calls of the
people" There is not many of such
things as those. Men hear call after
they first call themselves. The am
bition is laudable-for Georgia must
have a governor. But the average can
didate for governor is victim of cir
cumstances. He runs because he wants
to be elected, and somehow he THINKS
he can turn the trick. There are DIFF
ferent ways of running. Some candi-
dates can "cuss" corporations AMI
capital-and be elected. Some can
write cards for the newspapers and be
chosen. Some can receive 'the cost
lest kick which kicker ever kicked"
Some can make the race because there
is sentiment in his announcement and
the man himself-and be made gov
ernor of this commonwealth.
| After all, it's the man after the job,
With the people of the state figuring
cut which they would have rather place
their standards in for term as chief
executive of their state.
Platforms are made to go in on-ac
cording to the negro Pullman car por-
ter, which said statement was related
to us yesterday. Platforms are combi-.
nations of words, so arranged as to
form sentences, and thereby being ar
ranged make up an entire statement
which statement proving very attract
i've combines circumstances with Incl
dents to further the interests of some
candidate. That sounds bad-and SO
does platform.
Platforms are good things to have
and so are divided parties. With a
platform and Teddy boiling the G. o..
P, Wilson was elected. They furnish
material for editorials. They announce
purposes on which congressman and
senators can make another stand-be-
fore Armageddon. They are something
to hold down one end of the campaign
while the other end is hunting for fl
nance.
So, candidates are just like you
with an overlooking ambition, closely
akin to egotism, which runneth over.
Of all these evils you will choose
the one you like best-from what you
know, from what you hear, and from
what they say.
Now, Craig might not have said ali
this. But this effusion is gospel, ac-
cording to the Hoyle who wrote the
platform-why men run?

ONLY FINDING TO
 BE MADE PUBLIC
Testimony in the DeutschIand's Case Will Not Be Given Out by Depart

It was stated at the office of the United States steamboat inspectors in the Plant building at New London on Thursday that. in accordance with the ruling of the department in such cases the testimony given by Capt. Paul Koenig, Capt. Frederick Hinsch and other German officers in relation to the collision between the Deutschland and the tug T. I. Scott Jr., will not be made public. The only thing which will ultimately be given out will be the finding of the inspectors in refer ence to the responsibility of the dis aster.
 If the hearing had been a trial of navigator for alleged neglect or in- competence. it was said at the in- spectors' office. the testimony would be public. But in this case there was no one on trial. Captain Gurney of the ill-fated tug being beyond the reach of human examination and the inspectors having no jurisdiction over the license of Captain KoenIs.
 In other words, the hearing was in the nature of an investigation, having no bearing either on civil or criminal action in the future. The finding of the inspectors will not be reached for several days but when it is, newspa- pers will be at liberty to publish it.
