THE ELECTION

We wish to congratulate the
Democratic candidates in this

campaign they have conducted,
we have only heard of two of the
Republican candidates who did

REPRESENTATIVE MORRIS

With the Primary only a few days
distant, precluding the active can
vass of any candidate, the Journal
wishes to say a few words in behalf
of our fellow townsman, Col Fred
Morris, who is a candidate to sue
coed himself in the Legislature.
Col. Morris has acquitted himself
with credit and honor both to him
self and his constituency for the past
two years as Representative from
Cobb in the General Assembly, and
the Journal feels that an indorse-
ment of his record is in order; that
the people of Cobb County should not
do less than return him to the Leg
islature where he stood high with
the leading law makers of the State,
as was evidenced by his many i'm
portant committee assignments upon
which he did valuable service for
the Folks back home"
Mr.. Morris stands, and has always
stood. for any Legislative measure of
a constructive nature; and if he is
returned, of which the Journal feels
no doubt, the people of Cobb Coun-
ty can rest assured that their inter
ests will be in good and safe hands.
Col, Morris enjoys the distinction
of being one of the very few mem
bers of the recent Legislature who
was never absent at roll-call and
could always be found at the Capt.
toll in the active discharge of his du-
ties.
The Journal feels that the people
of Cobb County will make no mis-
take by giving him an Endorsement
term.

CONGRESSIONAL REFORM

A valued exchange suggests that
there should be reform in congress
chiefly in its membership. Maya
zine writers over the country have
for some time been exploiting the
doings of certain members of the
House, whose chief activities s.eln
to have been exerted in the discre-
ton of securing appropriations Tor
pet schemes of their own.
When great public measures. that
are Of vital interest to the entire
nation come before them. they are
negligent, careless and Indifferent.
They evidently fear that some of the
public moneys will be diverted from
the usual purpose of furthering their
individual interests. 1t is high
time a stop was being put to this
business. The newspapers and mag
azines should continue the fight for
reform until something is accom-
plfshed. The pork barrel congress-
man should be relegated to the rear.
He has had his day in court. Let
Us have higher class of men, those
with higher ideals and greater pa
CriOtism. The average congressman
OF today seems to think that he
has done his entire duty if he Sc
cures a public building for his dis
trict and pensions for all of his
constituents, that he can succeed in
pushing through congress. You vote
for my bill ana I will vote for yours
is the usual exchange of courtesias.
All of them play the public treas
ury. They are after what they can
get, and up to this date what they
have gotten has been the greatest
plenty.
The Herald is of the
opinion that the people should
awaken to the true situation. They
should take the bit in their teeth
and run away with it. Quite a
number of con gressmen have been
there too long. They have gotten
into the pork barrel habit and are
unable to get cut. Look how they

VETERANS THANK JOHN DORSEY
FOR EFFORTS IN THEIR BEHALF.

Representative John Dorsey, OF
Cobb County, is in daily receipt OF
numerous letters from confederate
veterans in various sections OF Geor-
gia expressing their appreciation Of
his effective labors in their behalf.
1.-The first bill introduced at the
recent session of the legislature was
the bill of Mr.. Dorsey providing for
substantial increase in the pensions
paid to disabled veterans who had
served in the confederate army.
THE general bill enacted at the
summc.' session of 1915 providing for
an increase in pensions failed by in
advertence to include disabled veter-
ans of the civil war and the main
objects of relief intended by the
measure derived no benefit from the
bill
1.-The bill of Mr.. Dorsey was intro
duced to remedy this manifest injus-
tice, and although it's popular author
met determined opposition in some
quarters, he continued his efforts I'M
til his bill passed both branches OF
the legislature and was enacted into
law
1.-The disabled confederate veterans
on the pension rolls of Georgia, while
annually decreasing in number, still
exceed one thousand veterans, to
whom the enactment of the Dorsey
bill will bring great rejoicing =

The maj who ridicu1es the married TAI for refusing to go ut with

His help will never be worth a picayune ito you.
In days gone by there "a in a while a foreman who expected

Such men ar rapidly disappearng-if they're not already extinct.
Greater demands are being made o n foremen; they are expected to

to employ mn who a and will keep up a certain production each day.
But they are not seeking good fellows" The good fellows don't

Their demand is for mn who will help to keep them at the head OF
