YOIIR NEIGHBOR'S GARDEN,

An item in the last issue of The News
s+o+od that a lady of Dawson had appealed
10 the city council to pass an ordinance
,-.o,,;rino owners of chickens to keep them
at home.
There is too great an inclination to pass
laws for the correction of all ills, small or
.g,raat and the multiplicity of statutes COW
ering every imaginable wrong or grievance
i LARGELY responsible for the lack of re-
znect for constituted authority that is ap-
narent everywhere The lady is clearly
within her rights in making the complaint,
and she should have relief speedily; but
the question of remedying the condition OF
which she complains belongs primarily to
the neighbors who own the chickens. City
ordinances cannot take the place of neigh
borly responsibility.
The citizen who owns chickens should see
TO it that they do not destroy his neighbours
garden. That is a personal obligation. No
ordinance should be necessary for its full
illment Regard for the rights of others
is one of the first principles of community
living. If it did not innately exist it is
doubtful if community life could be main
tanned.
We should all be on the alert that our
neighbor's garden suffers nothing from our
negligence The golden rule antedates
city ordinances.

There was an old-fashioned idea that the
Judiciary should be kept clear of politics,
and to those who are yet of that belief the
wrangle which has existed for some months
over the assistant judgeship in the federal
Southern district an Office which was con-
ceived and brought in politics, must be quite
dosconcerting. 1t is judicial position which
has, from its inception and now, fairly
reeked in politics.

Whipple is a jurist of experience and recog-

If an American army is sent to France
the sight of the French English and Ameri-

For once our president and both of our

THE SIGN OF THE. CROSS.

Enthusiastic meetings of women are
being held in nearly every city of five
thousand or more throughout the nation
they are not gossip societies." either, but
instead are really patriotic gatherings, with
the motto "Our God, our country and
humanity"
Mrs. Agnes Hartridge, superintendent
of the University hospital in Augusta, and
head of the Red Cross in Georgia, wishes
that more towns would respond to the
cause, and Immediately begin the training of
classes.
1t would be difficult to conceive of more
useful or valuable asset to any city, an or
ganization better fitted or more devoted to
the service of suffering mankind, in either
peace or war, than a Red Cross society. Is
it that Dawson and community are without
Red Cross chapter because of lack of pa
triotism? Emphatically, no! What is needed
is some one to volunteer and lead the cause.
and once the women of Dawson are reused
to full realization of impending war and
all that it means there will be this nantes
tation of love of country No enterprise
serving.
Let Dawson rally to the call, and our peo-
pie identify themselves with an organization
worldwide in scope, infinite in helpfulness
in time of war, and no less servicea6le to
humanity when war clouds have rolled away
