THE PULSE OF THE NATION.

As if there was any doubt about l the success of the Presidents trip through the Middle West in further l ance of his preparedness program, i the Southern leaders of Democracy | are now up in arms for fear Wilson
 will invade their territory. A South 1 ern trip has been planned for the 1 President. From that section of the
 country there hail many Congress- men who are bitterly opposed to pre- paredness In order to find out if these statesmen really represent the attitude of the Southern people, Will son would have a word with the con- stituents. Fearing the truth might be derogatory the Southern leaders in Congress are ready to do everything in their power to prevent this in vasion of the South
 At this particular time it is unfor- tunate that the President of the United States should have to leave his post to participate in a tour If the land. Unfortunate because there are those ever ready to impuSn political motives and also unfortunate because international troubles de- mand his closest attention, Yet con- ditions are such that the President is absolutely justified in getting in close touch with the people, in feeling the pulse of the nation, so to speak. Un- der the Constitution of the United States, vesting the executive power in a President it is stipulated that "He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.' That seems to cover the whole case. If there is a better way of finding out the exact state of the Union than gO- ing out and making a personal in vestigation, no one has yet come forth with the idea The President has been made aware of the weakness of our national defenses from reports of army and navy officials. which, under the constitution, he is also required to receive. It is his duty then to find out what the people of the nation think of any plan he might advocate to remedy conditions. Were we labor ing under the influence of a king, a lord, or duke, we should not have this opportunity. But we are a free people working and enjoying life un- der a man whom we put at the head of our nation and whom we can re- move from office at the next election. All the way through we have things in our own hands and it is up to Amer jeans to do or die. If Wilson goes into the South, as he went into the West, and finds out that the majority of the citizens there favor preparedness, then we must join together and pre- pare And under the oath of his sacred office the President must tell the truth.

CHILD LIVES AFTER
BEING BURIED ALIVE

Atlanta, April 8.-After being
buried alive for eleven hours in
the mound of grave beside
which she was born an i11egiti-
mate child and buried naked by
hermother to conceal the latter's
shame, a tiny infant girl has
found a home at the Methodist
Orphnage at Decatur, ner Allan
ia, and the nurses say she bids
fair to develop into one of the
healthiest and brightest children
the Orphange has ever reared.
Meanwhile her mother, Bessie
Compton, 2 3years of age, faces
charge Of assault with intent to
murder in Whitfield county. To
the sheriff who arrested her she
confessed that she got up in the
middle of the night and went to
the lonely cemetery to give birth
to the child. When the infant
came into the world, she said that
she dug out a place in the mound
of a grave with her bare hands,
and buried her baby.
With nothing over the baby ex-
cept a piece of cloth to protect
her face; the little mite of hui
mainly cuddled up in the soft
earth and fell aslepp. The baby
was buried about daylight. At
shutdown the same day, passers-
by were attracted by her cries
and took her in charge.

IMPORTANT boil WEEviL
CONF FERENCE Ar ALBANY


"ethar all possible farmers and bust

there is scarcely q one who is no.
from the entire. boil weevil territory
in Georgia, now covering an area of
approximately 1900 square miles, or
practically one-third of the cotton
growing territory Of the state.
The young cotton win soon be com
ing on and the weevils that passed
successfully through the winter sea
son, will, before long, be emerging
from winter quarters to attack the
young squares. There is every indi-
cation that the weevil is going to
prove a very serious pest this year
in at least 30 to IS Georgia counties
in the southwestern section of the
state, from HARRISON county all the
way down to the Florida line and as
far over as Lowndes in the extreme
southern portion.
A Serious Problem
Georgia farmers who have arranged
their planting this year upon the the
DRY that the boil weevil is going to
be very serious problem in these
counties this year, will come out best.
The preliminary preparations have, in
most instances, no doubt, been made.
but there is a great deal yet to be
done, and every farmer and business
man in the affected territory. should
be well prepared for what is to
come.
/ 1t is the purpose Of the Albany con
| ference to discuss and plan "PRE-
PAREDNESS" for boil weevil condi.
tons, and to this end there has been
no more important meeting held since
the boil weevil entered this state.
The Georgia State Board of Ento-
mology urges and advises every farmer
and business man in the infested ter
ritory who can possibly do so, to be
in Albany to attend this meeting and

DEALERS MUST GET
RID OF ALL LIQUOR
Savannah Mayor Says They
Won't be Allowed to Store It.

Savannah, April 8.-All liquor
must go before May /. Alter
that date it cannot even be stored
in Savannah, except in the limited
quantities allowed by law. This
IS Mayor Pierpont's order.
A representative Of 3 group of
Savannah liquor dealers called up
on the Mayor and asked if it
would be permissible to store liq-
uor in this city after the new pro-
hibition law went into effect. He
received an answer in the mega
tive. The liquor the dealers con-
templated storing, according to
their emissary, is that left on hand
after May /.
In support Of the Mayors an
nOuncement there came from At
lanta an opinion rendered by At
torney General Clifford Walker.
This decision points out that the
new laws allow a certain omount
OF liquor to each individual and
that any dealer having in his pos
session more than that amount af-
ter midnight of April 30, would be
technically guilty of violation of
the law.
The statement by Mayor Pier
pont came as another step toward
a strict enforcement Of the prohi-
bition law in Savannah.

on Mexico at Vera Cruz ask the fathers

Ask the relatives of the eighteen
American civilians who were butchered
at Santa Yeabel
Ask the wives, mothers, daughters

eredin the raid on Columbus, New

Ask the relatives of the United States
soldiers who were treacherously slain

Ask the hundreds of refugees who
are in the United States today, prac-
tically penniless and in want. who were
forced to leave their homes and
property in Mexico because of Wilson s
uncalled-for meddling followed by lack
of adm l,stration efficiency to render the
protection to which they were justly
entitled.
Ask the numberless peaceful Mex
leans who have suffered famine during
'watchful waiting.
Further, ask the wives and children,
the dependent mothers. the fathers and
sisters of the $50, 900 National Guards

kept US out of war.
Further, consider the positive fact

"THE NATURAL LAW"

Among the many efforts to uplift the
drama and use the stage as q conven-
fence TO bring before the skeptcal
theatregoer warning Of life's gfeater
evils. The Natural Law, play by
Charles Sumner stands pre-eminent.
Not many years ago Cosmo Hamil-
ton, the talented English author, star
tied the American stage with the pro-
duction of his play. THE Blindness of
Virtue" This play sounded a signal
TO parents and was written to prove
the fallacy Of "blissful ignorance" in
the growing woman.
In THE Natural Law" the author
uses for his moral Love can live with
out Respect and with deft pen tells
the story of a girl who didn't know, or
didn't realize what a serious mistake
she was making by following the nat
ural law of sex attraction for sex. She
was misled by the magnetism of youth
but saved by the honor of maturity.
During its New York run at the Re
public theatre, The Natural Law"
was witnessed by many noted public
personages. In letter to the produc-
ers. Grace c. Strachsn, president Of the
marlborough Association of woman
teachers, in New York enjoyed the
performance to such an extent that
she wrote: Il am deedly impressed
with the play believe that the
world would be better if every mother
would see The Natural Law which
