CITIZENS DISCUSS
VARIOUS BILLS

Discussions of proposed senate bill,
vesting with the Public Utilities Com
mission power to refuse licenses to
prospective power concerns that would
furnish service in duplication of exist
ing companies, formed chief topic at
last weeks legislative luncheon of the
Commercial Club. Following the
luncheon the bill was attacked at the
meeting of the joint legislative com.
mittee of the Pomona Grange and Com
mercial Club, the fear being expressed
that its provisions would make it nec-
essary for any orchardists planning a
light plant driven by water of stream
crossing his place, to renOrt the same
to the Commission. Just as a resOlu-
tion, condemning the bill, was being
drawn, a messenger boy appeared with
telegram from Senator Wilbur, who
informed the committeeman that an
amendment covering the points object
ed to had been introduced. The bill,
as amended, was endorsed.
Although protest will be
made by the officials affected. the joint
committee adopted a resolution asking
Senator Wilbur introduce a bill, con-
tirmlng an initiative bill, adopted by
local voters in 1914 and decreasing the
salaries of county officers. Supreme
court decision has declared the initia-
tive bill void.
The weekly legislative luncheon Of
today will be held at the Mt. Hood
Hotel

Anti-Alien Bit Withdrawn

Senator Wilbur last week withdrew
his bill, which would prohibit the own
ership of land in Oregon by any alien
who cannot become naturaliZed. Pro-
tests had been made against the bill
by the Japanese government.
In his speech withdrawing the bill,
Mr.. Wilbur stated that he was sorry
that any foreign nation could dictate
the policy of internal affairs of this
government. But he stated that he
withdrew the bill in order not to ham,
per the administration at time when
all attention should be focused on the
breach with Germany.

THE WOMEN HELPING.

In other wars it may have been that
the work of women was not great-al-
though Southern women who remem
Der the days of the War Between the
States know that in that conflict it
was great indeed-but in this world
var there seems no limit, in either
amount or variety, to the work direct
Ily connected with the war which wo-
men may do, and much of which they
must do 1t is not expected that any
American women will follow the ex
ample of their Russian sisters and
form a Command of Death" to charge
and die on the battlefield, but there is
$50 much more in the war than charg
ing and dying that the hands of
thousands of women, elsewhere than
ON the field of battle, may be busy for
the cause of democracy
This is by way of preface to COM
mending the formation of the Savan.
nah Unit of the Women's Committee OF
the Georgia Division of the Council OF
National Defense. There is a vast
amount of work for the nations de-
tense which may well fall to the lot OF
American women to do, and which can
be well done by them. It's range is
very wide, going all the way from ac-
tual nursing of wounded soldiers to
the rolling of bandages in the peace and
quiet of the American home, from the
planting of gardens to the collecting
of magazines and tobacco to make the
life Of the soldier in France more
pleasant Much work for the nation
mas been done by Savannah women
since the beginning of American par
ticiIation in the war, and the daily
amount of it may be expected to in
crease until the day Of victory dawns.
1t may be that some men have the
4 idea that American women who do any
sort of war work or defense work or
relief work do it as if nothing was re-
CURED of them but as if they were
working as a favor to Uncle Sam. No
Savannah man should have any such
opinion of the motive which is behind
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-08-14

the war work Savannah women are
doing or will do. These women do
not think they have the full right to
stand on the outside of things and pay
no attention to the war and do nothing
to help bring victory to their nation:
not at all. They know there is much
work which women can do and which
therefore they ought to do-which it is
their duty to do.
If an American woman can do work
which will release a man for more
strenuous war work, if she can do
something which otherwise would not
be done to soothe wounded soldier or
make the fighting mans trench life
pleasanter, it is not alone her privilege
but her absolute duty to do it, Now,
there is a great number of women, no
doubt, who are anxious to work for
the cause of the nation but who do not
know just how and when to take hold.
It is understood that one object of the
formation of the Savannah Unit is to
systematic the work women may do
Sc as to get the very best results in
both quantity and quality by bringing
together the women who are willing to
work and the work that should be
done. When the story of Americas
part in the great war is fully told the
women of America will not be asham-
ed of their share in it.-Savannah

ERMANY PLANNED TO ATTACK Us


James W. Gerard, during the four
years he spent in Germany as ambas-
sador of the United States. had vastly
better opportunities to inform himself
as to what was going on and what
would be the future attitude of Germ
any toward this country than the av.
erage man.
And he has written the story of
those four years in order, he says, to
arouse the American people to a
sense of the gravity of the situation.
He wisely warns us that the might
OF Germany is not yet broken, and that
there is much for this country to do
But perhaps the most impressive fea-
ture of the introduction to his book is
the statement that, in his opinion, I'VE
are not only justly in the war, but
prudently in the war;
1t is a point which cannot be empha-
sized too frequently. We are pledged
tC the high purpose Of Kidding the
world of nation of baby-killers and
pirates; we are committed to the pro-
position of making the world safe for
democracy. We owe it to England for
the protection her feet has given us
and to France for the aid she gave US
in winning our independence to sup
pert them in their hour of need.
utB we must not lose sight of the
fact that we are in this war to save
ourselves from the deadly, definite and
unwavering purpose of the Prussians
to fall upon us and destroy us.
So it is not without significance
when man of Mr.. Gerard's character
says:
IF we had stayed out and the
war had been drawn or won by
Germany, WE WOULD HAVE
BEEN ATTACKED-and while
Europe stood grinning by-not dir
ectly at first, but through an at
tack on some Central or South
American state to which it would
be at least as difficult for US to
send troops as for Germany. And
what if this powerful nation Ger
many, vowed to war, were once
firmly established in South or
Central America? What of our
boosted isolation then?
What indeed!
Every intelligent man knows more
or less clearly that Germany meditat
ed this attack upon us. The plans for
an invasion of this country were
drawn up by the German general staff.
Time after time Germany made at
tempts to secure a foothold in this
hemisphere, in defiance of the Monroe
Doctrine She tried it in Venezuela
when Roosevelt was President. She
was in the very act of attempting it at
Haiti when the present war broke out
in Europe, and had it not been for
the turn of affairs abroad we would to
day be at war with Germany, single
! handed and alone
These things are well known, but
naturally Germany's designs are much
better known to Mr.. Gerard than to
any other American citizen He tells
! us that he is compelled ito hold for
future disclosure many things which
now would perhaps increase bitter
ness"
Just how far Germany has gone in
her infamous designs upon US we will
not know until after the war, but we
have it upon the word of the American
ambassador to Berlin that we would
have been attacked"
( What more should we wish to know?
In the face OF which fact there mus
/ be no tolerance of the Stacker and the
pacifst-Macon News.

OUR PART IN THE FIGHT.

A few days ago special committed
from the Georgia legislature made :
trip to Thomasville and Valdosta fol
the purpose of making a personal in
lvestigation of the operations beins
carried on at the experiment station:
there by the experts who have charge
of the work of making cotton culture
more efficient.
The State Board of Entomology, un-
der authority Of which the experiment
stations are conducted, has for many
years continued its scientific investiga.
Itions along the lines indicated and
when the legislative committee had
thoroughly inspected the two stations
in South Georgia, there existed no
doubt in their minds of its members as
to the efficacy of the work accom-
plished. The report made by the
committee indicates its entire satisfac
ton and pays glowing tribute to the
practical methods that have been util-
lied in rendering such valuable SER
vice to cotton farmers in Georgia.
While the experiments at these sta
tons have resulted in enormous good
to the planters of this state, it is
nevertheless true that the results ac-
complished at Thomasville and Val.
dosta have been made possible by ex-
periments in cotton propagation and
development in Sumter county. Prob
ably on a comparative few persons
know that for the past s years expert
ments have been conducted by the
State Board of Entomology on the
farms of Senator M. B. Council in this
county. There has been no active pub,
licity campaign on the subject, but the
tests have steadily progressed and
many invaluable results have been
accomplished.
Lewis co. a variety of cotton that
is becoming popular throughout the
boil weeyil territory, was developed in
the experiment farms in Sumter coun.
ty, while other excellent varieties have
also been propagated until they have
reached their present stage of perfec-
ton.
Sumter county farmers may obtain
valuable assistance in cotton culture
by giving a little more attention to
the experimentation work going on al
our very door and with the weevil in
Ifestation threatening more serious
consequences each year, the benefits
.accruing from such development work
cannot be overestimated
