Stamp Out the "ViperS. .

The passage of Senator Kings bill concerning
the German language press is a timely step toward
the control OF a particularly insidious evil The
measure makes 1t unlawful to print publish in
the German language ANY comments respecting
the Government OF the United States any nation
with which Germany is at war, its policies, inter-
national relations the state or conduct Of the war,
or of any matter relating thereto without printing
or publishing in a column parallel to such matter
a true and complete translation of the same in the
English language"
No publication that is loyal to America can rea-
is disloyal should be tolerated. Up until now how
ever Prussianized papers have been allowed 10 con-
duct campaigns OF downright sedition without let
or hindrance. They have assaulted the President
and Congress, have done their utmost to arouse
resistance the Seective Service law, have sought
to stir up discomfort with the system of war tax
alton have fagrantly misrepresented the drift and
developments OF the war. and by every means with
in their power have tried the United States
and help the Kaiser.
These 'vipers," as Senator King truly termed
them, should be stamped out. That German-lan-
guage publications are suffered to continue in any
circumstances at this time is evidence of the ex-
traordinary tolerance of the American spirit. But
to permit them to continue when they are organs
of treason and incendiarism would be grievous
wrong as we'll as folly on the part OF the Govern
ment.

HONEST PEOPLE ARE BEING MISLED BY
MR. WATSON
(Butler Herald.)

If Mr. Watson was sincere in desiring to see
this country at with Germany by joining the
French army to prevent German INVASION or the
United Staros which he almost predicted, if he did
not orrTgghtly do so, in his paper The Jeffer
sonan, on March Is, 1917. and at the same time
urged the administration to send money men and
munitions to France to crush Prussan1sm, what
can possibly be his motive now in his criticism or
the administration for doing just those things OF
which he advocated in March?
We want to be fair, but how in the name or
high heaven can we be fair to ourselves and recon-
cile the present attitude of Mr. Watson with his
former statements and give him credit for being
honest to his followers, who, if they are all like
those in Taylor county, among the best citizens
of the country, but who are being woefully mis-
lead We quote from the Jeffersonian Of March
18th last:
"The Germans may not burn Washington City,
as the British did; and Mr. Wilson may not have
to camp in the Virginia woods with his wife, as
Madison did; BUT WE CANNOT BE TOO SURE
OF 1T. Let the president map out his course and
follow it.
Call the German Papal bluff!
IF a single vessel of ours is sunk in violation
of the law of nations, join the entente send money
men and munitions to France; and bend every en-
ergy of this greatest of republics to aid those who
are trying to crush the Prussan idea, that the only
law is military necessity to be judged Of by Prus-
sian militarists."
We understand that Mr. Watson has denied
having made the above statement. If there is any
doubt resting in the minds of any individual as to
whether not he did make this statement we
have the issue of his paper of March 18th before
from which the paragraph is clipped which they
may see by calling at this office
We have but conclusion. Can there be any
other? This conclusion bears out our statement
last week, which repeat here:
watson has collected many thousands of dol
lars from the people whom he had agitated into
passion TO the selective conscrpt law tested
out in the courts The most important of all the
services he or any other lawyer could render in
the entire issue has already been attended to with
the suing for the writ of habeas corpus and the
argument before Judge Speer at Mt. Airy-two
court actions in all In the event of appeal
about much more work will be required-to-
falling enough to Justify fee to any notable law
yer of about $500 for the entire case. For this
Watson has already had sent in to him by admis-
sion in his paper well on toward $4,000
We all of at perfect liberty to make
deductions to why he has been active
in bringing this matter into the courts"
An additional amount Of S1,365 has been
contributed since that item published.

pealing to the Watson friends for donation to

GEORGIA'S PATRIOTIC PRESS
"THE REFUGE OF THE TREASONABLE.
ALBANY Herald

The cry of free speech" has to be the
refuge of every individual, clique and nationwide
combination engaged in either openly antagonizng
the government or seeking by the lnsldlous dis
semnation of reasonable propaganda to give aid
and comfort to the country's enemies.
The l. w. WIS leaders, against whom the de-
partment of justice has at last taken vigorous
tion have vociferously maintained, in the name of
free speech, the right to tie up the governments
preparations by fomenttng labor troubles
throughout the west.

Hale Thompson, of Chicago, a patriot and Won

and the means employed to suppress free speech
In the senate Senator Nelson, Republican and
a veteran of the Civil war, vigorously scored Sem
ator Hardwicl, whose attitude toward the military
draft law and other measures is well known,
for his un-American course in these days OF ma
tionaI stress. HAS it come to pass that free
speech is denied?" shouted Senator Hardwick,
when he arose to defend himself.
We hear it everywhere this cry Of free
speech" The German sympathiZer who does not
disguise his burning hope that Germany will
triumph over her enemies invokes it. The Stacker
who bitterly inveighs against the draft law and
the CONSUMPTION of wealth whines it the street

The opponent of governmental supervision OF Dig

the performance of herculean task shouts 1t
in the halls Of congress or fro ma dry-goods box

The right of free speech is the right Of every
American, but abuse of that right is a crime.
Nothing in the Constitution out of it gives

ments 1t is no mans right to attack his countrys

Fright or wrong-my Country" is not written
into the Constitution in those very words but 1t is

that loyalty be not married by half-heartedness or

The Bean and the Hun.

That sturdy muscle builder, the Bean. is going
to do yeoman service in helping America win the
war. Seven-and-twenty million bushels strong
with Georgia contributing goodly quota, it will
rally to the support of army and navy and the le-
gions of laborers whose broad shoulders sustain
the fighting lines. Beans. the scientists remind

bohydrates thus combining the basic values of ami
NAL and vegetable food. Well may the Hohenzol-
lerns look with fear and trembling upon twenty
million bushels of beans, for in that vast har
vest lie almost incalcuable stores of working en-
ergy and fighting vim. The hordes of Attila, they
say, ate beefsteaks steamed under their saddles
The present-day Huns need such violent victuals
to rouse their savagery. But they do need beans
and butter and the like and need them desperately
AS the stars in their fought against Sisera

distinct gain in euphony and also in good repute,
although Agamemnon had his bad moments and
Aeolus not without guile. Barbarossa is
changed to Mercury, Frederick de Crosse to Huron,

American and true to American associations is
the adoption Of Powhatan for Hamburg and Susque-

however, is that of Kronprinzessin Cecile to Mt

N R. TAXPAYER, you whose money noipS
MI to support the local public library, have
AV1 you ever made inquiry to ascertain how
we'll it Is equipped for the various functions u
brary should perform?
Have you indeed, ever given any thought to
just what those functions art? Just how the IL
brary ought to serve the community In which 1t Is
located?
You know, Of course that the library IL
place fro mwhich you borrow books but
this, after ALL is only one of the ends 1t is meant
to meet.
Consider, I beg you, the following admirable
statement Of library functions once MADE Dy IT.
Daniel C. Gilman:
1.-THE first function is circulation, the loaning
of books for private use This is popular an
indispensable, service to which alone tne eafV
1.-The second is storage, the accumulation OF
everything prnted-good, bad and 1ndltterent-
because some day it may be wanted.
Like the contents of farmers garrett. you
say. Yet be it remembered that to this conserVa-
tive function the great libraries Of the world are
consecrated.
"Without such storehouses the great histories
and biographies Of modern literature could not
have been written.
THE third function is reference This term
was the favorte expression of the last genera
ton, when Aston, Lennox, Peabody, and other
founders endeavored to lift the library above the
plane of circulation and entertainment, and sven
of storage
FINALLY libraries are now recognized as places
of research. higher function than that OF raj
Again I ask: Do 20 uknow how well or how
badly your library performs these various func-
tions?
You confess ignorance You plead that you
have been too busy to look into the matter. Pos
sbly, though, you would never regret 1t IL you
did look into it.
Tomorrow evening, instead of going to the the
alter, settling down for game fcards, or doing
before the open fire, put your hat and stroll
around to the library.
On your way thither, before you start, choose
some subject of study that is for any reason OF
special interest to you.
1t may be problem connected with your daily
your business. Some subject, let US say, such as
the history of the submarine the evolution of
the airplane
Go to the library and look up the card refer
ences to books bearing the chosen subject. Tell
the librarian what It is in which you interested
and ask his aid.
Follow this plan at intervals for few weeks.
Read at home in the library, the books and
pamphlets and magazine articles to which you are
guided.
The chances are that you will be agreeably sur
prised to find how helpful the library can really
be to you.
Better STILL the chances are that having dis
covered in the library unexpected sources Of in
formation subjects of interest 10 YOU, you will
get into the habit Of regularly applying TO your
library 70 Resistance in charging your knowl-
edge of other things.
And this is precisely it should be- Your
public library ought to be to YOU not merely an
item in your tax bill. but active and often used
asset in the successful management Of your life.
