Those who are now laying the cause
of the war to Germany's desire to con-
troll Europe might be referred to the
pages of history where little more
than one hundred years ago, Napo-
leon Bonaparte, ruler of France de-
clared war on Prussia and the French
troops poured into that German state
to satisfy the ambitions of their en-
peror.
The King of Saxony made haste to
come to the aid of King William and
Queen Louise of Prussia, and the al
lied Prussian and Saxon armies met
the French at Jena, where they were
completely routed. The King of Sax
ony at once forsook the Prussian all
lance and arraigned himself on the
side of Napoleon where he remained
until Prussia received the final blow
at Friedland.
The Prussians, finding that the
Saxons had deserted them sought the
aid of Russia and in response, Alex
ander, Gar and autocrat of all the
Russians, marched to their relief at
the head of mighty Muscovite army.
The King, the Queen and the Czar
now agreed to stand or to fall together
and never to make peace with Napo-
leon until he had been driven beyond
the Rhine.
The armies of the Allies and Of
France clashed at Friedland. and the
Muscovites and Teutons were COM
PEELED to withdraw and leave the field
to the victorious French. At once,
the defeated rulers hoisted the white
flag, in spite of the entreaties of the
Queen. "For Gods Sake, no shame
full peace. and Alexander became the
staunch friend and ally of Napoleon.
The terms of peace were arranged be-
tween the emperor and the czar with
leon and Alexander met on raft at
Tilsit in the middle of the River Me
men. so to be sure to be on neutral
territory. and there in the sight of
two armies, the emperor of the west
and the emperor of the east divided
up the earth between them at the ex-
pense of fallen Prussia and few
other weakened countries Of the con-
tinent.

of land from her former ally, and q

sides. To do this takes time but it
is time that must be spent if the
judge is to be fair, equitable and just
in his DEGREES and orders and certain
ly that is what that portion of the
yublic who have business in the Pro-
bate Court want. Next consider the
work of the juvenile court and Moth
er's Pensions; it will be manifest that
this last matter will take time for
careful investigation and consider
alton in order that the Mothers PEN
sion Fund shall be wisely handled
and the money so distributed that it
shall do the maximum amount of good
and that none who are in need, whom
this fund might help. shall be neglect
ed; while in the Juvenile Court, the
Judge has no precedents to follow,
there are no definite rules of action
laid down for the guidance of the
Judge in dealing with dependent or
delinquent children; each case pre-
sents a different question or combina-
tion of questions to be dealt with,
much, in fact all in regard to the child
is left to the discretion of the court,
which most instances must take the
place of the parents and become re-
-sponsible for the mental and moral
development of the children who come
into the Jurisdiction of this court.
Here again it will be readily seen
the best service to the public cannot
be given unless the Judge of this
court has ample time for careful in
vestigation and consideration.
In the court of Common Pleas un-
der the new arrangement which gives
Fulton county a resident Judge there
has been a marked improvement in
the promptness with which cases in
this court have been disposed of and
the present Judge has been busy all
the time. There are many cases that
are coming up continually. which for
one cause or another the resident
judge may not legally act upon; this
makes necessary the calling in of a
judge from another county to sit in
the case. But the resident Judge in
such cases must give his services
in exchange and consequently must be
free to go when he is called to go and
sit in the place of some other Judge.
There might be added to the fore
going further details of the work Of
these courts, but enough to show how
the element of time enters in to the
question and to show that it would be a
physical impossibility for one judge to
give the best service or even to give
fairly adequate attention to each of
the several departments which would
be included in the combined courts.
The question then arises:/ Is it
good economy to save $500 per year
at the cost of the necessarily limited
and lessened efficiency in service to
the public, which the courts are es-
tablished to serve?
We are raising this question not be-
cause we have any personal motive
in the matter; we are not nor do we
ever expect to be a candidate for pub
lie office in Fulton county, nor do we
hold brief for any one who is.
This seems to US a question which
touches the common good and from
our point of view it would be mistake
to merge the two courts andpoor po-
glicy even to agitate the matter OF
bringing the question before the elec-
tors in November.

PROBATE STVHi Si1'1iii County
Shall IL Be Merged With The Court of
common Pleas? = Some Questions
Of Economy That Should Be Con-
sidercd- Juvenile Court and Moth
ers Pensions.

The question of the combination of
the Probate Court and the Court of
Common Pleas in Fulton County has
been raised by some Of the citizens
and II there are enough of them in
terested in the matter to carry a pc
tition 10 the Judge of the Common
Pleas Court. that official may order
the question before the electors of the
county at the next general election,
November 7th; in that case the an
swer to the question viii rest with the
voters Of the county.
This is a question which directly
or Indirectly interests every citizen in
the county and one which should lo-
ceire the careful attention and con-
Pideration Of every public spirited per-
bon; for this reason we are placing
before our readers some points which
are not generally taken into consider
ations
The principal reason for making
this consolidation Of the two courts is
that Of economy; the idea Is that If
the work Of the probate Judge is trans
ferrsd 10 the Common Pleas Court
the salary Of the probate Judge will
Be saved 10 the county and the Judge
Of the Common Pleas court can at
tend 10 the duties of both courts.
Aside. from the regular duties of
the probate court, the probating, re-
cording and other work incidental TO
Wills, the supervision Of estates, hear
mg Of accounts relative to same. the
appointment Of administrators, guar
oians and etc; the issuing of mar
riaes certificates and keeping records
thereof. all duties, which are quite apt
TO be very arduous and not very pleas
ant, and many other duties not here
enumerated, there have been added
10 the work Of this court. from time
TO time during recent years, the
Juvenile court and the supervision OF
+. Mothers Pensions. With these ad-
ditions the Probate Court became
loaded beyond the capacity of the
Judge and deputy, but they kept up
the work until within the last year
the Juvenile Court work and the
Mothers Pensions were transferred To
the Court Of Common Pleas, and still
the Probate Court has all that it car
attend TO and both the Judge and de.
putty are kept constantly busy. While
the Court Of Common Pleas Is over.
loaded at the present time.

"A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE
MAKEUP OF PALACE PROGRAM

You will notice slight change in
| the makeup of the Palace program
for this week. This change is one
that we think will be for the better.
1t will permit the introduction of the
famous Triangle Plays in Dawson, as
well as give the Keystone Comedy
day. 1t is impossible for US to show
| all the good pictures, so in one adj
dition we must give up something.
You will notice that the Paramounts
have been cut down to only one a
week in the future.
This arrangement will permit the
introduction of the Triangles and the
Keystones. The Keystones are got
ten especially to entertain the chill
dren, and they are comedies that will
please the grown-ups just as well as
Charlie Chaplin. There never was
la Keystone that would not make any
body laugh. So come prepared to
shake yourself good next Friday.
