It's Great to Be an Editor.
From the Swainsboro Forest-Blade.

An editor is just naturally up against it.
If he publishes cigarette advertisements
ne IS accused of debauching the youth of
the land
If he says he doesn't like coca-cola he is
liable to lose an advertising contract If he
says it is fine drink he is suspected of be-
ing subsidized.
If he denounces liquor and advocates pro-
hibition people say he is fanatic and a re-
former. If he keeps silent on the subject
they say he is afraid to talk out, and init
mate he is a lcker-head
If he contends for what he thinks is right,
and his ideas don't happen to coincide with
the opinions of those in high places, he is
denounced for showing disrespect to consti-
tuted authority
If he doesn't have anything to say at all
on his editorial page the other papers won't
exchange with him.
If he proposes public movements some
body on the outskirts casually suggests that
the editor is after some graft
If he endorses one man for public office
he makes all the other candidates mad.
If he doesn't endorse anybody he is told
he hasn't any backbone.
If he doesn't pay his bills when they are
presented his credit rating goes down to
zero in five minutes. If he tries to collect
the money owing him he is told to come
back next week.
IL nc SCOpS Tie paper Oh q subscriber VINO
owes him for five years back he makes an
enemy If he doesn't stop it he loses that
much every week.
If 81 Perkins comes to town to sell two and
a half dozen eggs and the paper doesn't say
that Mr.. Perkins made flying business trip
to the city last week the editor is charged
with being "stuck up"
If the town needs improvements and the
editor says so he makes big tax payers mad.
If he sleeps over the subject his other sub
scribers say he is afraid to tell the truth.
If he doesn't charge less for job print
ing than the out-of-town printer he loses the
order. If he does charge less and gets the
order he fails to make any profit.
If ne calls names he is liable to get all
beat up. If he doesn't they say he is a
coward.
If he lives at all he is lucky. If he dies
they say it served him right
Gee! It's great to be an editor!

Not q Time For PQrZev.

The blow has been passed. There is no
longer another "cheek to turn" and the
President will no doubt act without further
delay to protect American shipping interests
from the warfare that is in progress.
The sinking of several American ships by
German submarines can be no more than
declaration of war on the part of Ger
many and if ever a country was justified in
taking action in self-defense that point has
been reached in our relations with the leu
tonic power that has started out to sweep
the seas of every sail and every funnel Our
peaceful merchantmen, carrying no cargo
whatever, but merely in ballast on voyage
to the home port, have been sent to the bot
tom of the sea.
We have it from Washington that the
President proposes to take the necessary
action. 1t is all we can do. Send out Amer
lean vessels to search the waters for the
German sea sweepers, and exterminate them
as they are found 1t has been a direct at
tack upon the American flag upon the high
seas, and those who have felt differently
heretofore must now admit that since our
flag and our merchantmen have been sent
to the bottom the United States must act.

The Railroads Trouble.

With the politician, the shipper and the
employe all firing upon it the railroad is
never without its troubles
A few short years ago the politician was
having his inning, and the railroads had to
stand for lot of adverse legislation. The
shipper is after them all the time, having a
legitimate interest in keeping the freight
rates as low as possible. Then comes the en-
ploye interested in keeping wages as high as
possible.
With one attacking party striking at it's
revenues, the interests of another meaning
an increase in operating expenses, and the
demagogue making political capital by pref
udicing the people against it the railroad has
10 be facing both ways all the time.
1t calls at least for fair treatment and a
living chance along with the shipper and the
employee, and for the best interests of all
concerned the politician should be sup
pressed.

The Only Gre.

To our way of thinking the best and per-
haps the only way to solve the high cost of
living is to raise more stuff than we eat.
And the only way to raise more stuff than we
eat is to have more people engaged in farm
ing than consuming. James J. Hill, who
opened up and made possible the develop
ment of the great empire Of the Northwest,
long ago said the nation would go to bed
hungry in twenty years unless our popula-
ton quit increasing faster than our food
production, which was simply one way of
saying that we must have more producers
chan consumers. Back to the farm" should
be the American slogan from this day on.
Other remedies may relieve the situation for
the time being, but this is the only perma-
nent cure

WOMEN TO VOTE, SAYS WoRRILL.

From the Southwest Georgian
Superior Court Judge Worrill made the
significant statement in charging the grand
jury Monday morning that it is but a mat
ter of time until women will be allowed to
vote and hold office in this state. The eyes
of the judge are open and his look into the
future, insofar as the matter of woman's
suffrage is concerned, may be regarded as
anything but astigmatic We haven't the
slightest idea what the Pataula jurist's views
are-whether he favor's or opposes votes
for women-but we fancy that his political
fortunes will suffer not the least when the
dear ladies achieve the right to stroll nom
chalantly up to the ballot box and stick one
in for whomsoever they will. Some men
profess to believe that women of the South
will not avail themselves of the privilege of
voting, but that's poor guess. Wait and
see

1t is a wonder why preachers and moral
lists do not put more emphasis on debt pay
ing. 1t is seldom referred to as a Christian
obligation. We have even heard of churches
that did not pay their preachers. If a mem
Der of the church was VIGOROUSLY guilty of
transgressing the commandment "Thou shalt
not stear' he would, for the good name of
the church, be disciplined. The fellow who
deliberately and continuously takes anoth-
er's goods and does not pay practically VIC
lates that commandment.

GREAT is GEORGIA.

From the Butler Herald.
If all the cotton that Georgia produces
in one year were made into one sheet it
would cover the entire face of America and
lap over the toes of Europe. If all the cat
tie she raises in one year were one cow that
beast could browse on the vegetation along
the equator, while her tail would switch icic-
les off the North Pole. Her milk would
float cargo of her butter and cheese down
the Satilla and across the Atlantic to Liv-
erpool. If all the hogs she produces were
one hog he could root the Panama canal at
three roots, and his grunt would jar the CO.
coanuts off the trees in the canal zone.

Married to Trees.
From the World Outlook.

Under the very shadows of the telegraph
pole we find the tree worshipers of India.
Many kinds of trees are worshipped in India
for many kinds of reasons. Some are sup
posed to be the abode of demons who must
be propitiated. The sacred Bo tree, under
which Buddha received enlightenment, is
worshipped by pilgrims who come in thou
sands
In some small villages there are more
women than men and it often happens that
there are no men of equal caste to the girl
whose time has come to marry. Since the
tree represents a deity which can assume
any rank or caste, the parents of a mar
riageable daughter who has become bur-
den to the family take her to him. She is
bound to the tree and left either to the
mercy of prowling beasts or to be rescued
by the first male of lower caste who is in
search of helpmeet.

1t is not expected the submarine COM
mander will be taken wholly by surprise
when the armed merchantmen cuts loose on
sight. A submarine commander who wasn't
expecting shot from a ship armed ex-
pressly to shoot at him wouldn't be worth his
salt. On the other hand, the merchantmen
who is under instructions to shoot on sight
of the submarine will have no occasion for
shock when the submarine takes pot shot
at it without warning. It's poor rule that
will not work both ways.

Predicts Trouble.

Mr.. Hugh McElroy, prominent New
York business man, is impressed by the sta
tistics showing how the production of cot
ton in Alabama has decreased since The
appearance of the boil weevil in that state
and predicts that Georgia will have a sim
liar experience. He is quoted Hy the New
York Commercial as follows.
An analysis of the Gems Us on GIN
nings shows that the first visitation of
the weevil in Alabama has been quite
as disastrous as was the experience of
Louisiana, where the yield dropped
from 100000 to 246,000 bales. The
table presented by the census bureau
shows that the amount of cotton ginn-
ed in Alabama to January 16 (practi-
cally the end of the season. was in
1914, 100000 bales. The next year
it was 100000. Up to that time the
farmers did not realize the menace of
the weevil. This season the Alabama
crop to date has ginned only 900
bales or one-half of last year and one
third of two years ago. The weevil will
be in Georgia the coming season. Watch
what it will do
