More New School Book.

At the last session of tn; State
Board Of Education held in Columbia
q. few weeks ago seventy-one new
books were adopted to be used in the
schools of the state. The way they
made changes would seem that they
forgot the fact that the war was on.
They displaced 29 old books and ad-
opted % new ones to take their place.
We think the time has come when
the people of the State should say
something about this wholesale adop-
ton of new books to take the place of
those already on hand. You take the
average family of five children and in
variably you have to buy new books
for every child as it reaches school
age, whereas if there was less chang
es at least two or three of the chill
dren could use the same books.
It would be a good idea to do away
with the adoption of new books only
every ten years, if then, or else put
people on the board that had fore
sight nough to select books that would
not have to be changed with every
'setting of the sum-"
The State board certainly must
think the people have nothing else te
do with their money but to pour 1t
into the Golfers of the book trust This
may not effect the well-to-do city
dweller, but it is becoming quite bur
densome upon the poor people who
can scarcely spare their children from
their work. We hope some wise Leg
islator will take the matter in hano
and see if the matter can't be rene
died.-Calhoun Advance.
The foregoing comes pretty nigh
hitting the bulls eye; and we believe
pretty well represents the sentimen
of the great masses of people.

CHANCELLOR STANDS FOR
THE SUBMARINE WAR

Copenhagen, July 19.-Dr. Michal'
is, the new German imperial chancel-
lor in an address to the Reichstag yes
teroay afternoon, declared his adhe-
sion to Germany's submarine cam
paign, asserting it to be lawful meas
ure, justifably adopted for shortening
the war;
DR.. Michaelis opened his speech be-
fore his audience with a hearty tri5-
ute to DR.. Won Bethmann-Holweg, the
retiring imperial chancellor, whose
work, he said, history would apreci-
ate.
The Chancellor declared thai the
war was forced on unwilling G rma-
ny by the Russian mobilization and
that the submarine war also wasforc-
ed upon Germany by Great BRAINS
illegal blockade starvation war
The faint hope that America, 4 the
head of the neutrals, would heck
Great Britain's illegality was vain.
Germany's final attempt to avoi the
extremity by a peace offer faile and
the submarine campaign was adpted,
said the Chancellor.
The submarine, declared the seak-.
er, had done all and more than had
been expected and the false prohets !
who had predicted the end of tn war
at definite time had done a eser-
vice to the fatherland.

It's Great TO Be An Editor.

An editor is just naturally up
against it.
If he publishes cigarette ADVERTISE
ments he is accused of debauching the
youth of the land.
If he says he doesn't like coca-cola
he is liable to lose. an advertising con-
tract. If he says it is fine drink he
is suspected of being subsidized.
If he denounces liquor and advo-
Gates prohibition people say he is a
fanatic and a reformer. If he keeps
silent on the subject they say he is
afraid to talk out and intimate he is
a licker-head.
If he contends for what he thinks
is right and his ideas don't happen to
coincide with the opinions of those in
high places, he is denounced for
showing disrespect to constituted au-
thority.
If he doesn't have anything at all
to say on his editorial page the other
papers won't exchange with him.
If he proposes public movements
somebody on the outskirts casually
suggests that the editor is after some
graft.
If he endorses one man for public
office he makes all the other candida
tes mad.
9If he doesn't endorse anybody he is
told he hasn't any backbone.
IF he doesn ray his bills when they
are presented his credit rating goes
gown to zero in five minutes. If he
tries to collect the money owing
HIN, he is told to come back next
week.
If he stops the paper of a subscriber
who owes him for 5 years back he
makes an enemy. If he doesn't stop
it he loses that much every week.
If-Si Perkins comes to town to sell
two and half dozen eggs and the pa
per doesn't say that Mr.. Perkins made
flying business trip to the city last
week the editor is charged with being
"stuck up"
If the town needs improvements
and the editor says so he makes big
tax payers mad If he sleeps over
the subject his subscribers say he is
afraid to tell the truth.
If he doesn't charge less for job
printing than the out-of-toWn printer
he loses the order If he does charge
less and gets the order he, fails to
make any profit.
If he calls names he is liable to get
all beat up If he doesn't they say he
is coward
If he lives at all he is lucky. If he
dies they say it served him right.
Gee it's great to be an editor.-The
Swainsboro Forest-Blade.

THE HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF THE
ROAD.

There are hermit souls that live with
drawn,
In the peace of their self content;
There are souls like staci that dwell
apart
In a fellowless armament,
There are pioneer souls that blaze
path
Where the highways never ran
Let me live in house by the side OF
the road,
And be friend to man.
Let me live in house by the side
of the road
Where the race of men go by
The men that are good, the men that
are bad
AS good and as bad as I,
Then why should I sit in the scorn-
er's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in a house by the side
of the road,
and be friend to man.
I see from my house by the side OF
the road
By the side of the highway of life,
The men that press on with the ardor
of hope,
And the men that are faint with the
strife;
And I do not turn away from their
smiles and their tears
Both parts of an infinite plan
Let me live in house by the side
of the road,
And be friend to man
know there brook-gladdened mea-
dows ahead,
And mountains of wearisome
height;
That the road stretches on through
the long afternoon
And passes away to the night.
Yet still / rejoice when the travellers
rejoice,
And weep when the strangers that
moan;
Nor live in my house by the side Of
of the road
Like a man that lives alone.
Let me live in house by the side of
of the road, .
Were the race of men gn hy:
They are good, they are bad, they
are weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish; so am /.
Then why should I sit in the scorn-

Or hurl cynic's ban?
Let me live in house by the side OF
