The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1917-01-19

per asking what is Marietta Co
ing to do About Water Supply" is
along the right line, it is pertinent
and the Journal is to be commended
for the article and the spirit which
prompted it--an honest desire to
pull together and build up the
town rather than to set yourself
up as an infallible critic, ready to
criticise and pull down everything
and everybody whenever the least
thing displeases. Your article for
the upbuilding has borne good fruit
already.
The question you ask may be
answered in this way:
Quit pulling so hard on the
holding back strOps and apply more
pressure On the traces"
This advice is especially applica-
bic to a great many of our citizens,
especially some municipal pditf-
clans. Marietta can never go for
ward with other towns with a great
many of her citizens pulling on the
holding-back strops. They are pull
ling in the wrong direction.
Marietta mas stood still for al
most quarter of a century! Fact:
Think, see if you can recall any
manufacturing or commercial enter
prise of any consequence that has
been erected here in the past sew
eral years. On the other hand.

THE FORWARD LOOK. No

There are several of the leading
manufacturing plants in town now
absolutely compelled to nave water

the city's plant because it wont
supply a sufficient quantity; thew
ara compelled to get it from the old
plant. Suppose the old plant shuts
down; 1T can do it and there is no
power to force it's operation at =
loss; the result will be that prac-
tlcally every manufacturing plant
IN town will shut down-then
what? majority of the laboring
class without employment, no pay
rolls, yacan house, business fail
ures, all caused by pull on the
holding back straps instead of the
traces"
With the possibility of the result
above mentioned confronting AIS
and in addition thereto increased
Insurance rates, possibly a cancella-
ton of insurance policies by the
Wholesale, the question What is
Marietta going to do about Water
supply becomes all absorbing and
pertinent. 1t is no solution of the
situation to write a card and have

and integrity of faithful Officers is
either directly or by insinuations

She must be alone with Freneau

her life and recover from her loss. =.

floor unnoticed by Lois. The Judge
stooped to pick it up for her. He saw
Freneau's name and, trained as he was
in the wiles Of criminals, he suspected
Lois at once and fatty accused her of
an intrigue with Freneau. She mere
" founced away in temper, saying:
81 am old enough to take care of
myself. If you want to believe evil
of your own daughter-why, believe
it."
She left Judge Freeman dumbfounded
and distracted. In the afternoon, while
David was at his Office, the worried
father again visited Lois to try softer
words. In the hall he met her house

She put the envelope back in his
pocket, making little gesture Of dis
gust: ugh! I hate your old business!
How long must you be away?"
Zone whole week, dearest little
love-" he murmured brokenly. I'm
afraid it will never pass for me, but
take good care of your precious self,
your cheeks. I will write and tele-
graph you every day."
Then his face darkened and he hung
his head before her as he added: i
can't give you any address to write to
me, as shall be jumping about so, but
I'll telephone you.''
When the hour grew late and the
nurse began to frown he told her he
must leave. She stood up sadly and
they chung together for last embrace.
Freneau went to his rooms IN new
mood. Gloria's trust had touched him
more than Royce's threats. He was
furious at himself and at Lois. he
started to the telephone to call her up
and tell her to do her worst, he would
not go away with her. AS he was
about to take the receiver Off the nook
he looked at his watch. It was too
late: she would have started for their
trusting place by now. He caught a
glimpse of himself in mirror and
loathed the face he saw. He vowed
that he you'd redeem his soul. He
would begin at once. He would meet

the butler to shake his head over the
scandalous proceedings of his house
hold.
Gideon Trask, the bargeman, had
INFINITE patience in pursuit of his re-
venge, but so far he had been unre-
warded. Unable to run down Freneau
elsewhere, he picked on the Pierpont

also the most fitting place to accost

linen he crossed Riverside drive to the
Soldiers and Sailors monument and
resumed more distant watch over
the house.
Freneau was indeed there; he had
come to bid Gloria good-by. He told
her he was leaving on a midnight
train.
Gloria was reclining on the chaise
Tongue, exquisitely attired in an ivory
,colored lace peignoir, the bands of
WHITE swansdown which trimmed it
no winter than her own fair skin. Her
beautiful hair, drawn lightly into
knot at the top Of her little head, made
her look more like a child playing at
being grown-up than she had a right
to look with all her twenty-one years.
Freneau had paused a moment at
the door when he entered to enjoy the
charm of her, then he crossed to her
side with all lovers eagerness. Her
eyes beamed on him with tenderness
as she welcomed him and gave him
her lips.
'How much do you love me?" she
queried, measuring an infnitesima1
space with her tiny hands, that
much?' then, stretching her two arms
wide and purring forth her musical
laughter that much?"
Freneau came within the circle Of
her arms and, holding her to him, ex-
claimed: "The width of the whole
world is not big enough to measure
my love for you.'' And he meant it.
Releasing her tenderly to her pill
lows on the couch, he continued: Eve
had such wonderful day on the mar
ket, Gloria. I cleared up a pile. By
Jove, it was thrilling. If I can only
keep this up you won't have to be
ashamed of your poor husband And,
thank God, I shall have you to work
for. Just see what I've brought my
little mascot with the first spoils of
war;" He tossed a leather case into
her lap.
Opening two shrinelike doors, Gloria
gurg1ed in delight at the string OF
pearls within. She made him clasp
them about her throat. Then she
leaned forward to thank him with a
kiss; she saw the corner of a large
sealed envelope in his inner pocket
whats this? More business, OF
love letters?'
A dull notified red began to surge
up Freneau's face. She spoke so much
truer than she knew. It was the packe
of letters he was taking to Lois. HI
had pocketed them to make sure tha
he should not leave them behind.
"Just business documents connected
with my trip" he said, as naturally al
he could. Gloria accepted the explana
ton in perfect faith. It did not occu
to her to suspect him Of any deceit

express. Freneau had advised Lois to
send her baggage by train and motor
up with him to the Catskills.
Judge Freeman took the liberty of
reading the tag on that trunk. He
saw that it was checked to Blendike,
a village in the Catskills.
Going to Lois room, he questioned
her. She answered that as David was
going away that evening she thought
she would run out to Lenox to visit
Aunt Kate.
Aunt Kate has gone to Florida, as
you know" her father answered
sternly.
4 forgot, but anyway, have to get
off by myself for a few days; my
nerves are in ribbons. Please leave
me alone" Lois said, and burst into
tears.
Again her father left her, his
anxiety greater than before.
When Doctor Royce made his morn
ing call on his beloved patient, Gloria,
he found her still progressing toward
complete recovery from her illness.
But her spirits did not seem joyous as
they should be. He thought bitterly
that this might be due to his orders
that she should not be allowed to see
Freneau. He told her that he with
drew the embargo and her rapture
confirmed his fears.
That afternoon he CHANGED to be
passing David Stafford's home just as
David stepped from his car. David
greeted him warmly and insisted on
his coming into the house. Royce was
out OF his coat and hat before David
had finished glancing at some letters
the butler gave him. AS he felt thor
oughly at home here, Royce went
ahead to the living room. He thought
he heard murmur of voices. Parting
the curtains, he saw something that
made the blood pound in his temples.
Lois arms were about Freneau and
his around her. Royce heard her say
ing:
AT midnight by the pavilion, near
the soldiers monument I'll be there.

Royce dropped the curtains noise.
lessly and stepped back as David ap.
preached, talking briskly. Royce was
thankful for the sound; it would give
the guilty pair time to separate and
spare David a hideous knowledge, al
least for the time being.
Royce and David entered, and Lois
greeted her husband warmly. Royce

BECOMING CITIZENS

Aliens who intend remain in the United States are being urged take citizenship papers. By doing so they will themselves much trouble in the future and will benefit themselves to a great extent.
 N teh present time they are enjoying advantages which they have not earned. They are enjoying the privileges of living equal basis with the citizens of this country without sharing of the responsibilities They subject neither the duties America is calling upon her citizens to perform and they immune to the call of the lands from which they emigraed They are enjoying benefits of peace without paying for the privilege Many of them will prosper at the expense Of their native country and the expense of the land of their adoption.
 Seing where their duty lies, many of the foreign born residents the country applying for citizenship pa in order show their willingness to bear their share

HARD SHEDDING.

President Wilson is having spicy times with the strikers all over the states, and at a time when the government needs speed so mlch But really it is the governments own fault. It is the after effect of negligence. Had the govern ment taken the bull by the horns in time, all this hard sleddng would have been avoided. In other words. had the government at the outbreak of the war stopt all expectations and fixed the prices for all commodities, private profteers would not have had the chance to skin the peo ne alive. But as it was. the government al- lowed the few to take advantage of the many when the many could not help themselves. The latter paid the tolls and suffered in silence until their tusn came about. which was when their services were really needed.
 These strikes cannot be said to be aimed at private individuals. On the contrary they are aimed at the government to even up matters for its neglect in not preventing the few to rob the many. One thousand steel workers cannot con- pei the government to pass law to protect them from the food spectators: but they can pre- vent shipyard from carrying out contract with the government; a revenge for it's neglect TO protect them when 1t could. as it was its duty so to dc. T. is all very well to appeal to patriot ism, but patriotism should also be found in any government to the extent of prote ..,ag it's own citizens from the food speculato.5 and other thieves. Had the President and congress pro tected the peoples when they needed protection today appeal to patriotism would be justified At least that is the way it looks to us
The daily progressive-miner., 1917-09-26

Senator LaFollette is said to be preparing libel suits against large number of newspapers of the states. He may be doing that to scare the department of justice from instituting criminal action against him for his wild utterances and persistent activities against the government Tn the present crisis LaFollette and few others of his ilks have worked pretty faithfully for Ger many; and while he may not have been on Count Bernstorff's pay roll, he earned as much as some of those good Americans did, who were on the pav roll. Therefore he should be paid, even if only by sentence in prison for his reasonable acts in hindering the government.
