THE OUTLOOK FOR 1917.


There is obliged to be unrest in the
business world of these United States
How great this unrest will become
twelve months from now no living mind
can foretell Already we discover that
men have Stacked up on railroad con-
struction- Also on great skyscraper
structures and immense manufacturing
plants. The tension between employers
and employees has placed a check on
things of this sort. The vast fortunes
that have been accumulated since Au-
gust, 1914, have grown out of the activl-
ties of war necessaries. Steel has soar
ed out of sight almost for cannon MAX
ing and war vessels. All munitions of
war are exploited in large figures. Should
the war suddenly cease these costly man.
ufacturfes would close down and prices
would slump, and the cry would be,
Give me something to do"
How the average day laborer will man
age when he gets back to old wages is
a serious question to him. also to the
people who live in his neighborhood.
1t will look like starvation to him, and
it may look like a state of anarchy to
his neighbor when the cry of GIVE me
something to do" is swelled by thou
sands and tens of thousands of dissatis-
fed day laborers who will be marching
tie streets of our large cities.
AS 1 see it, the farmer is in the safest
position, If he can work his 1917 crop
to advantage. Something to eat and
something to feed stock upon are two
of the necessities that must, be sup
piled. Otherwise the bottom will fall

what they must have to survive. 1 am
here to implore my good farmer friends
to plant anything that man or beast can
eat. You can find a market for ali you

ems. eggs and butter will give the farm

splendid prices and even grass will
sell in the spring If cut green and

The general public had some valuable
information given i'm last Sundays At
lanta Journal concerning the prevailing
conditions i'm the insane asylum at Mil
ledgeville. These conditions have been
going on from bad to worse for long
term of years. This insane asylum has
been used to shelter a great many Grim
inals, whose legal counsel pleaded in
sanity and the jury affirmed the plea,
and to make the verdict appear reason
able the criminal had to be adjudged
insane. And again, great many have
been sent to the same place who should
have been sent to an inebriate asylum,
rather than to a place where mad folks
must be imprisoned. 1t is a crying ne
cessity that really insane persons should
be kept apart from their own families,
for safety's sake if for nothing else. If
there is any chance for recovery the
best efforts of the state of Georgia
should be thus directed and employed,
but the state asylum for the insane
should not be pre-empted by criminals
or drunkards, and the next legislature
should take this matter in hand and
effect clearance at whatever cost that
may be necessary. .r-
As long as there is q revenue to the
state or nation accommodating from the
manufacture or sale of intoxicants, that
revenue, no matter how large, should be
applied to the building and maintenance
of an inebriate asylum. On no account
should these inebriates be crowded in
upon those whose minds have been de-
stroyed by disease or accident, or may
be by heredity. -.~
1t is well known that rich criminals
of extreme type have been able to buy
counsel and pack Juries to save their
necks from the halter and electric chair,
who are also crowded into these So
called insane asylums. If they must be
imprisoned or punished by life SEN
fences, why not use the states prisons,
and save the really hopelessly insane
from contact with them?
