gELlTTLINe OUR EFFORTS.

What shame There was an eff
fort, a mean little attempt to belittle
our preparedness parade on the
Fourth, our very first show of loyalty
to the Stars and Stripes and our hap
py, simple and innocent, but real man
Hesitation of national pride.
All of us WHO had part in that eff
fort were proud as we could be OF the
showing we made. Members Of the
D. A. r., Of the U. d. c. and of the
various other organizations at inter
est had made careful plans and worked
hard for good parade. And all that
has been said to the contrary notwith
standing, 1t was fine showing.
Many of our people who could get
away, went to Macon Some few 9TH
9rs went elsewhere, but that was no
reflections on the parade or our cele
bration OF the Fourth. Those who
went 20 Macon did not see such great
things. Most of them said so, but
they din no harm in going. 1t was a
form Of diversion of their own choos
ing.
What Cordele did right here at home
was Il credit to the community. Don't
let anybody forget that. 1t was fine.
No "hot air" about that. This was
The first electric flag ever presented
by the ID. A. R. anywhere on any oc-
casion. Wasn't that something new.
And is it not pretty flag worthy OF
I place on the very top Of the Temple
of Justice?
One travelling man said he could cas-
lily discern its beauty three miles away.
IN top OF the court house it can be
seen live miles away Mrs. Howard
Mccall, state regent, D. A r. said, 81
am very proud Of Fort Early chapter"
She was here on that occasion. Mrs
James e. Hayes, state editor for the
D. A. r., said "You ladies in Cordelt
are most progressive and wide awake"
She WAS here and saw the parade ant
witnessed the exercises . And Presi
lent Wilson sent congratulations tC
the ladies in charge OF the occasion
They proudly hold his letter as proof
Of the TACT that the chief executive OF
the nation knew about these exercises
Pretty soon We'll have that flag float
ing from the top of the court house
and next year we will do that parade
over again just little better, and the
next year again little better, till this
community. young and old alike, will
be so nearly all in it, heart and soul
hat there will be nobody left to say
mean things. And so may it be.

1t is to be regretted that the legis-

plain, good argument with truth in it,
Friends of the electric light and power

There Is no section which should join

the south furnished the principal lead

II was Virginia which contributed most

it will help us to continue it in the

continued We do no. support our of

Just criticism is good and proper; for

tends 20 ruin our country and lower

which is so essential to the public
good have no idea that one official
in five thousand ever sold out In Geor-

and it is often the kind who would sell
out who are the most insistent upon
making such ACQUISITIONS.
Public officials and individuals, who
have any gratitude will always favor
their friends, and it IS very natural for
people TO favor those who show them
favor and kindnesses.
The Georgia legisla ture is again be-

question of interference with some one
else operating the train. But as be-
tween the employer and the employe
the employee has a right either singly
or collectively to quit work, in my
Judgment, and under the constitution
of the United States he can not be de-
prived of that right simply because he
acts collectively. Whatever one party
may do alone he may do in combina-
ton with others, provided they have no
unlawful object in view, but the right
to quit on account of unsatisfactory
wages can never be made unlawful.
IF you can prevent men from acting
collectively and as union in regard
to their wages, to their sanitary condi-
lions and to questions of health, sur
rounding and such things, then you
have, of course, destroyed collective
bargaining absolutely, and have found
a way by which to inhibit collective
action upon the part of labor, and it
would be the beginning of the end of
union labor. Collective bargaining
and collective action, both upon the
part of capital and labor, are in ac-
cordance with the spirit and principle
of the age, and some other way will be
found to adjust these matters than
that of taking a backward step and
destroying collective bargaining and
collective action so long as the action
is for lawful purposes.
Il have never believed that compul
sorry arbitration was either practicable
or legal under present provisions of oul
constitutions, both state and national
