A COLUMN OF CLIPPINGS
What OF Tom Watson

The following paragraph appeared
in the Savannah Press yesterday:
What has become of Themes E. !
Watson? We have heard froa
some source that he has gone to
New York to enter a sanitarium.
1t may be true that he is in sam
itarium in New York, and it may not
be so. He has had enough trouble
Of late to put him there. The death
CT his only daughter, Mrs. Oscar Lee,
a most excellent woman, occurred
about the time his papers were barred
from the mails The bereavement. is
said to have crushed his spirit and
broken his heart We have heard
that, in his sorrow, he asked the au
thorities to let him alone-that he
would go to the deserts if they wanted
him to, but he wants to be let alone.
The late Thomas NJ Norwood, on
one occasion, many years ago, said
The pale face Of death should be =
flag of truce" IL is a trite saying
and it is apropose in the case of Mr..
Watson, who is an object Of deepest
sympathy. We are quite sure that,
despite fractional differences, the
warm hearts of Georgians everywhere
will go out to him in his bereavement.

CONGRESS- IN SESSION.

Congress- is again in session, for
the second time since the declaration
OF war.
Legislation before this congress,
insofar as it relates to the war, VIII
hardly be of as exciting a character as
that which was passed early in the
year
However, there are many emergen-
cy matters requiring early considera-
ton. The most urgent problem of any
IS that of the railroads, which promises
70 be taken up promptly. Many war
difficulties have already been solved.
Many questions as to revenue and tax
alton are settled, Regulation of in
ddstry and commerce is almost com,
rlcted, and the country is now on
tn rough going war basis, from the
business standpoint, as well asthat Of
the military Business men conse-
Guently know better what to expect.
l'rofiteering is classed as unpatriotls
and inimical to the country's safety
ana success. Fixed prices and trade
| regulations are being periodically ac-
cepted in nearly all parts cf the coun-
try as absolutely necessary to win the
war. Trade can consequently go on
18th less arrangement. Some indus
tIiCs, especially those confined to the
unnecessaries, will suffer from war
economy, but the great steel industry
and its subsidiaries will continue in,
tensely active as long as war contin-
ues, so well many branches of the tex
tile industries and the leather indus
try Price fixing by the government,
il should be noted, is made on the
LASTS of fair profits in order not 70
discourage output Thus far, Mr.
Hoover has not succeeded much IN
covering prices, because he cannot
control the chief cost of production,
which is high wages He has, how
ever, lessened profiteering among dis
tributors
National prohibition and equal suc-
frage, issues at one time that were of
commanding Importance, have now
been relegated to second rank, but
will take up much of the time of con-
eress. 1t would occasion no surprise
if both were eventually submitted 10
the country in the form of proposed
amendments to the constitution.
This promises to be an exceptionally
long session, keeping the members in
Washington for nearly year and de-
handing of them more attention to
their duties than to politics.

Developing SOldierIy Qualities.
The question as 10 whether IL is
better TO join the colors now or with
a later contingent is not worth ar
guing. since the decision has been
made for each man by lot. An am
bilious man, however, will be glad to
Join now. IL gives him a better

OF opportunity here for every man
TO use his brains and his energy and
TO earn promotion according TO his
worth. This does not mean easy or

that you will have your fair chance

Three Basic Qualities.
There are three basic qualities.
without which no man can be a real
soldier even though he may tempo

Loyalty.
Obedience.
Physical Fitness.
a man without these qualities ia
in the way and is a source OF weak
ness 10 an army, both in the camp
and on the field of battle.
The articles Of war Of the United
States set forth the military crimes
which are punishable by heavy pen

aid or comfort 10 the enemy. Run
over this list and YOU viii see that
every one Of these military crimes
can result only from the absence of
one or more OF the three basic quail
tiles Of a soldier.
Loyalty.
a soldiers loyalty governs. first #
all. his feelings and actions toward
his country, his government and his
flag. There can be no such thing as
halfway loyalty. The slightest com
promise opens the door 10 treason.
But soldiers loyalty does not

in the service which should mean
so much in your army life.
Obedience.
The second of the soldiers basic
qualities is obedience. based on dis
