From the Editors Desk

nCharles k. Hughes considered the republican nomination for President a call to duty. He cut the strings from the fsupreme court of the United States and responded. Now ips up to the republicans of the country to see that Charles E. Hughes Is mnde the next President of the United States. ]" Briefly, that is the way Governor Marcus H. Holcomb looks at the na- tional election.
 The governor feels deeply about the matter lie thinks It is more essential at this time to elect Hughes than 1t has has been to elect Hughes than it has been to elect republican President al any other time since the organization of the party and 1t is his opinion that the party could have no better candi- date than MT. Hughes. "I am 72 years old,p he says, "and l haven't any children, and guess 1 can keep out of the poorhouse, although 1 haven't even Ford automobile, but 1 am deeply interested in the success of the republican ticket and will do all l can to help elect It,"
 "Mr Hughes left law practice which was paying him probably S5o,' 0O0 year to accept place on the su- preme court bench" says the gover- nor, abecause he appreciated the high honor that had been conferred upon him. He expected to make that his fife work. But when the call came last June, he considered that Il wns his duty to accept, and he did so i'm mediately, cutting the strings from the supreme court and knowing thal he could never get back sagain. Now itsup 10 the republicans of the coun ,ry to make him the President of tn, United States.p
 The record of Goyernora Holcomi during the two years that he has beer the chief executive Of the state of Con necticut has met with general approv al and his term has brought out th' sterling traits of his character to suct nn extent that he is beloved by dem ocrats and republicans alike.

HOW SOME OF THEM ARE MADE

Something of The way in which
laws are sometimes forced on the
people is illustrated in the action of
a Georgia legislator.
This particular LEGISLATOR happen
cd to attend moving picture show
one evening. recently and there saw
a reproduction Of a play which de-
picts the effect OF certain diseases
He was so impressed with what he
saw en- the screen that he immed-
lately prepared bill for eugenic
marriage law which he wants to in
trodlne and have passed
So far as is know, the legislator
had no previous knowledge of the
subject, probably knows nothing of
the long discussion that eugenic
measures have ha2, but, with his
emotions fully aroused and with the
zeal OF a recent convert, sits down
and frames a bill that if il becomes
on the lives of many people.
He does not really know whether
that effect will be good or bad, he
probably presumes that it will work
revolution for good, but he has no
real knowledge on a subject about
which many people are studying and
about which there is a wide differ
ence OF opinion.
That the people of Georgia have
expressed no opinion on the subject,
of course makes no difference with
this kind of law maker. He feels
competent to provide for them and
he has obtained all the knowledge
he needs from the pictures on a
movie screen. And thus are many
of our laws made.
A Florida legislator once read a
story in newspaper which really
was al advertisement, which he did
not discover until he had come to
the exciting part of the tale. Then
his anger was aroused, and he wen,
into the legislature, the next day
with Il bill requiring every news.
paper in the state to place the WORD
advertisement" in large letters
over every story which contained an
advertisement and over every Other
other advertisement Fortunately
there were men in the legislature
who saw the imposition in the bill
and killed it. But again. of sucf
stuff are many of our laws made
