WHERE WE STAND.

The News has so co lirGll"u its
nerves that it has never allowed the
prohibition law to run away with its
common sense. II has never embrac-
ed the very foolish theory that the
prohibition law is different from hun
dreds of other laws which have been
written into the statutes of the state
for generations. In spite OF the ef-
forts OF the hypocrite, the long-hair-
ed man and the short-haired female,
we have managed to maintain our
equilibrium with respect to this polit-
ically ridden act which has half of the
officers of the state OF Georgia we'd
ded to the idea that it is a law like
the evening star that dWelt apart"
We have no political ambitions that
must come through graces of these
misguided people who would have us
think as they pretend to think about
this mooted statute. TO our mind, ii
is a simple lava rule of conduct
as Blackstone tells US all laws are,
and that it is no more OF an offense
against the peace and the dignity of
the state to violate this law than it
is to gamble hunt out OF season.
rough take oysters, etc. Yet, the pc
lice department i'll Brunswick and in
half of the cities in Georgia for that
matter have come to believe that
they have Stayed Il criminal Goliath
il they unearth 4 poor negro with a
half pint Of blind tiger liQgor in his
pocket! Why is it that our officers
are not equally as Jealous in appre-
hending violators Of city ordinances
for, after all, that is really the duty
of police otfiCer5-they are paid by
the city-not by the state, and their
first duty ought to be to see that city
laws are enforced IN our issue OF
Wednesday morning there was re.
ported, in a jocular vein, without in
tentiOn to reflect on any police Off
Ger, a little ludicrous news story Of
several officers "arresting7 barrel
of whiskey i'll a local freight depot
that had been there for two years.
There was not 4 serious line in The
whole story, and yet the local police
department puts on an injured limo
cense' aspect and the chairman of
the city council police committee
rushes into print with a belabored
card, impuSning our motive, wanting
to know where we stand on the pro
hibition act and why we throw mud
al the department. We stand for the
enforcement OF all laws; for the fair
and equal treatment of all men be
fore courts OF justice and we are OBJ
posed to making fish of one and fowl
OF the other. We do not see the whis-
key act through different glasses than
we view other criminal statutes
That's all, and we like that position
and propose to stand by it, the Bruins
wick police department and Com
mander-in-C Chief Jones" to the con
trary Notwithstanding!
The News is not looking for any
scrap with the Brunswick police de
partment but if the department wants
one, and feels that it must have one,
why, ION with the dance"
We might in the meantime urge
the police department to hold its
horses; to attend to its own business
and not the business OF the state; to
keep peace, order and law in Bruins
wick and to aid the state, not only
i'll cases where a fee is paid for az
rests, but where murder and high
crimes have been committed.

Dear Lord, I'm thru with plots

she sighed, as she climbed into
bed.
Bambi kept to her room next
day until it was time to meet the
train on which Ardelia and the
professor we're to arrive. 1t was
due at o'clock. She went to Jar

night before.
Her telephone bell startled her,
and she took up the receiver to
hear Jarvis voice.

"All right"

"All right"
She hung up the phone with q
dazed face. The idea OF Jarvis
taking care OF her, inquiring after
her health, and trying to spare
her!
Every blessed thing Is topsy-
turvy," she exclaimed aloud.
At four o'clock she walked up to
the booth, and there he stood
anxiously scanning the faces that
passed.

He looked grateful and smiled.

No sooner had the train come to

hand. After her came to the pro-

shrunken. Ardelia saw them afar

She kept them laughing all the

in getting off. Her EXPLANATIONS
on everything she saw were con-

club, and she discovered that she
was to have the little room next
to Bambi's her satisfaction was
complete.
Bambi ordered the entire family
to rspose on its respective backs
for an hour before they dressed
for dinner. So they parted to obey
orders. For that hour Bambi held
herself firmly upon her bed, COM
pleting her plans. They had
agreed, she and Jarvis, that II

ANARCHIST ARTISTS PAINT
GREEN MEN, PURPLE WOMEN

by FREDERICK NJ. KIRBY.
NEW YORK, May Hike a
galaxy of meteors a little group
of art radicals, driven from Eu-
rope by war, has descended on
New York, and New York, ever
ready for sensations, whether in
"new art" or "new cocktails" has
clasped these artist anarchists to
her bosom.
The most scintillating of the
group Is Horace Brodzky, a Lon
doner, born in Australia, OF Rus
sian-Polish parentage. whose work
has dazzled New York.
Brodzky's best work here has
been the decoration of the Sem
prints restaurant, the nearest
thing Brodzky could find to the
cafes of Soho in London or the
Latin quarter of Paris.
Color, color, color, and then
more color, i'm its crudest
form, Eliminates the walls.
There are bizarre figures
green men, purple women,
red mountains, pink trees
all mixed up with camels,
penguins, dinosaurs and bats.
"These decorations are my own
personal expressions, explained
Brodzky. 81 have made them sug-
gestive of the place and the peo-
pie who come here. People don't
come here to be serious. They
must have color and light.
"All the coloring, you see, Is
purely arbitrary. Nobody ever
saw blue elephant, but every.
body who looks at these figures
distinguishes the cloud from the
animal"
Why He Does 1t
why do you do it that way?'
I asked.
ITO stimulate the imagination
"These decorations are not true
to nature, but anybody can dis
tinguish what they represent. The
landscape is simple. When
painted tree l put stick with a
pyramid on top to suggest, not to
reproduce.
"But do people want this kind
of art?" I asked.
"What do I care what peo-
pie want? believe In giving
people what 1 want to give
them-in expressing myself,
not somebody else. II you
please yourself and yourself
only, and are true to yourself,
you will win i'm the long rum"

He laughed and went on. Bambi
returned to the box, where she sat
far back in the corner. The house
was filling fast now. More than q
little interest was evinced in the

Strong nodded and smiled from q

The curtain rose. For two full

laugh came to both of them like
