IN DESPERATE STRAITS.

Most OF the newspapers VI
Georgia that are not corrupt are
worse. The time has come, the
hour struck, when the people of
the United States must know
the truth is, these arrogant peo-
pie are common grafters."
Can you imagine member of the
United States Senate making this
statement, that bald accusation
against nearly two hundred news
papers of Georgia? Isn't it even more
difficult to believe that a senator from
Georgia would thus malign the news
papers of his own state?
We print the following editoria
from the American Press-a weekly
newspaper published for circulation
among other newspapers;
Senator Thomas w. Hardwick
of Georgia, explaining to the Sen
ate his feeling of contempt and dis
dain for certain unnamed news
papers in his state, says
Most of them that are not cor
rupt are worse. The time has
come, the hour struck when the
people of the United States must
know the truth, is these arrogant
people are common graftersT
This is serious charge com
ing from the mouth of a Senator
of the United States. If it is true,
then there is need of a general
newspaper housekeeping in the
state of Georgia. If if be untrue,
such monstrous words are mex
cusable.
Frankly we are not inclined to
accept off-hand, as a fact, even
from so distinguished citizen
as Senator Hardwick the bald as
sertion that any Georgia news
paper publisher is a common
CRATER, and we would like the
Senator to name his men. No
doubt Georgia publishers feel
much the same way.
If there be newspaper pub
Usher in Georgia or elsewhere
who is worse than corrupt then
such a man should be driven from
his profession. The Fourth Els
tate needs none of him, and Sen
ator Hardwick will find the ma
| jority Of the newspaper publish
ers in Georgia and out of it only
too wiling to help him bring about
the quick extinction of such a
man. Senator Hardwick has
public duty of first Importance
to perform We hope he will per-
form it fearlessly. Let him prove
his case. If he cannot prove it,
then let him retract so scandal
GUS a charge on the floor of the
Senate where he made it. This
clearly is the part of man of
gentle breeding-a Senator.
Coming from anybody else, thu
statement by Senator Hardwick woul
! be an insult
] However, any public servant WIN
has betrayed the confidence of hi
constituents as Hardwick has done
and any senator who has been as dis
loyal to his government as Hardwici
has been, cannot insult any news
paper. We are unable to imagine an
paper, daily or weekly or yearly, tina
could feel Hardwick's scorn or con
tempt.
The junior senator from this stat,
God save the marks certainl,
in desperate straits if he must accuse
the newspapers of Georgia of being
corrupt and grafters and arrogant.

ARE YOU A STACKER?

AG NttAHNA nv e'ANAAA~S - ~-~Ns -" /
is not the only Stacker.
There are at least two other kinds
of slackers.
One is the man whose money isl
needed to assist the government inI
financing the war, and who keeps IT,
selfshly to himself.
The other is the person, man or VOL
man, who is extraTagant in the use OF
food, at time when every such
resource should be rigidly conserved
The special significance Of the word
Stacker" is of recent English origin.
Webster says it means one who is re-,
miss in the performance of service or
duty. But now it means more than
that-there is shade of contempt, OF
opprobium Of shame, attached to III
that makes it an epithet.
There are several words in the Eng
fish language that one ought to be
slow in applying, and Stacker is one
of them.
But the truth is, there are so many
slackers in this country that it is diff
cult to refrain from giving vent to
the expression.
The military Stacker is in the minor
ity. The appeal to the manhood Of
the country has not been in vain.
From the cities and from the farms the
young men have responded, and while
occasionally there is laggard in the
draft he is not so for long. For in ev-
! cry self-respecting community, the
clacker becomes as one tainted and
uiclean, pariah among patriots, a
thing to be despised.
Equally deserving of public con-
tume]y are those other types of slack
ers land that there are some nobody
can deny.
The government has employed the
bonding system as the best means Of
financing the war. United States treas
jury bonds are now probably the safest
investment in the world. Those that
do not bear taxes cannot be excelled.
So when one buys Liberty Bonds he
does not make draft on his charity
or philanthropy. He is not even par
ticularly patriotic. He is simply doing
his duty, and it is the duty of every
man with the money at his command
to help his nation in its hour of need
by assisting in taking up this bond
issue. The man who can and doesn't
is Stacker, just as certainly as the
man who seeks to evade the military
service for which he is liable
The other class of slackers is more
numerous-and the pity of it is that
they do not realize they are slackers
1t will take men, money and food t.
win this war-food alone will contr,
N the end, says Herbert Hoover In
consequence, there must be a strict
conservation of foodstuffs, of food for
man and food for beast. To feed the
armies who are battling to make the
world safe for Democracy is going to
!, require an enormous quantity of food
:, more than the world has been raisina
heretofore. To meet this demand there
must be saving. There must be an
end of extravaganza and a limitation
ON waste.
I Don't think that because you are not
!, subject to military service that you
cannot be slacker-that you won't be
known as a Stacker Take an inve1.
tory of yourself. Ask yourself if you
have done your duty Sift your soul
and search your heart If you don t
inquire of yourself, others will.
Are you a Stacker?
