CAMBRIDGE, Ga, Jan. 25.-The

HONOR GEORGIA'S POETS.

The Americas Public School will
honor the birthday of Sidney Lanier on
February Bird. Henry Lumpkin, the
president Of the Lanier Literary Soci-
ETY. Of the high school, has requested
the public to respond with donations
for a memorial to be built to the mem
CRY of the gifted Georgia poet who
sang Of the Marshes Of Glynn." and
rippIed with the Song of the Chatta-
hoochee,"
1t is well that the present day and
future generations pay all possible
honor to the memory of the departed
poets. Literary geniuses are not made
in day, and often, how often. they are
as the prophets who are not without
honor save in their own country.
But a living poet is recognized among
the. people of the entire nation as one
whom any state and people might be
justly proud. Frank L Stanton is to
Georgia what James Whitcomb Riley
Is to Indiana.
Dr.. Wightman F. Melton, professor
Of English at Emory college, Oxford,
Ga, has written a communication COM
pairing remarkably the love and esteem
in which Stanton and Riley are held.
Quoting a paragraph from his article,
Wasn't it a lucky day for Georgia
when a South Carolina printer boy
wandered over this way to spend his
natural life singing to us things that
will endure after our steel-and-sto
skyscrapers have crumbled into dust?
Ask an Albanian where Indiana is. He
will reply, That's where Riley lives.
Ask BostoBian where Georgia is. He
will say, That's where Stanton lives >"
Georgia should be proud of the pages
she occupies in the history of American
literature.
1t was almost within the shadows
Of Americas that Frank L. Stanton first
gave to the world writings which at
tr&cted nationwide attention. He was
q printer, and pursuing that trade in
the conduct of a newspaper at Smith
vile, he began to sing with those
words which have made him univers.

ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

Is there real academic freedom in
American colleges and universities
Are professors allowed to speak their
minds freely, or are they merely "hir-
ed men to be engaged and discharged
without assigned cause at the PLEASURE
Of the university trustees? These and
other questions affecting free speech
in American institutions of higher
learning are discussed by DR.. S. P.
Capen, specialist in higher education
of the Bureau of Education in his cur,
rent review of the year made to the
Secretary of the Interior.
That there is always some pressure
eXerted in academic communities, as
elsewhere, to keep radical propaganda
lists quiet and to discourage destruc-
tive criticism of the existing order
none will deny" declares DR.. Capen
"Its extent varies with the institution.
AS rule. it is eXerted subtly, often
unconsciously, in large universities
which are supposedly free. Generally
it vanishes as soon as the right of free
speech is publicly preached. Within
hte past two or three years, however,
there have been so many occurrences
Of disciplinary action directed by trus-
tees and presidents of prominent insti-
tutions against professors reputed to
hold unorthodox political, economic
or religious views that the question Of
academic freedom has become temper
arily one of the foremost issues in un-
iyersity administration. Upon its cor
rect settlement depends not only the
integrity of the universities, but, more
remotely, the whole welfare of Amer
lean education
The question is particularly acute
in private foundations. Are the trus-
tees the employers of all persons con-
nected with the university, the owners
of the business, as it were, whose will
is law and not subject to question
Has the faculty moral, if not a legal,
right to be heard in matters relating

OWN YOUR CROP
INSTEAD OF OWE IT
Food And Grain Crops Will Make
Agricultural South Independent,
SAYS n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)- 1.-The cred
it system under which the agricultu-
raj south works and stays poor is an
alyzed in a striking way by H. G.
Hastings of Atlanta, chairman of the
agricultural committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce, and member Of
the executive council of the South
eastern Fair. He does not mince
words in talking about the situation.
Every season during the last fifty
years." he says, there has been trou-
BILE in the cotton belt whenever the
crop was large and the price low, or
the crop short. Each time the cry of
hard times goes up, and the reason
back of it is that the farmers cannot
get enough money to pay their debts
out of their sO-called cash crop-cot-
ton. 1t is disheartening because it is
so absolutely unnecessary.
"a cotton farmers debts are large
ly for food and grain, charged up
against him on the merchants books
at two to three times the price that
those same items could be produced
on his own acres, and usually without
serious interference with a crop of cot
ton as large as he now makes.
THE trouble is that most cotton
farmers owe their crop instead Of
owning it when made.
The credit way looks the easy
way, but it strangles most farmers
before they get through life.
81 have said repeatedly in public
addresses that no state or section Of
any country can be prosperous that
is regularly dependent on another
section for it's food supplies. What
is true of a state or section is true
of the individual farmer.
THE great exhibits of grain, hay
and food products shown at the South
eastern Fair held in Atlanta in No
vember, give the lie to the statement
that these things cannot be grown
here at home successfully and prof
itably.
"A good big home garden kept
planted and rightly tended through
the season will produce half of the
living besides furnishing an abund-
ance for canning or drying from the
surplus.
when we make our food and grain
we will have few or no debts at the
store; we will own instead of owe
our crops when made, and farm
wealth will accumulate in the south
| instead of farm and crop mortgages"

Ko0CHICHING COUNTY "DRY"
County ptionSLaw-Mystic Num-
Der Thirteen Is Factor.

International Falls, Minn.-Every
saloon in Koochiching county has
closed it's doors under the county
option law. The mystic number 13
apparently had hand in the wiping
out of the liquor traffic. Thirteen bars
sold their last drinks at II o'clock.
Last August the option election was
carried by majority of 10. There
were IL saloons in International Falls
on that day. The number since, has
dwindled to six. Five of the 13 quit
when their licenses expired and the
courts refused to permit the council
to renew them. On the last day, there
were 13 saloons in the county. Four
of them were at Rainier and three at
Little Forks. There was little ex-
element over the closing of the bars,
but all of them did land office bust
ness up to the closing hour.
