Want HARDWICk
OUT OF OFFICE
PEOPLE WHO RESENT HIS oPPo-
SITIoN TO GOVERNMENT POLL
CIES WANT TO SIGN PAPER
ASKING HIM TO RESIGN.

A request for the resignation Of
United States Senator Hardwick,
somewhat similar to that now in cir
culation in other communities, is be-
ing proposed in Cordele and Crisp
county and it is very probable that
there will be a paper going the rounds
within very short time for the pur-
pose of getting the names of citizens
who would ask his resignation.
No little condemnation has been of
fered Senator Hardwick locally for
some time, but especially since his
Columbus speech in which he declar-
ed against volunteers for fighting on
foreign soil. People resent his oppo-
siticn to President Wilson and his
declaration of individual indepen-
dence.

HERE'S A STORY FOR CHILDREN
ABOUT THAT $500 IN SALARY

We do not know how to better the
schools by saying again that our
school boss has no right to that $500
and ought not to draw it. One thing
certain it is being drawn under an
amendment to the old charter of 1888.
Our city was given new charter in
1911. The old charter is a dead one.
Our present school boss was boss
of the city schools in 1902 and he drew
this salary the very first time it was
ever paid to anybody. 1t hasn't been
paid to all other officials put together
period of time equal to the time he
has drawn it.
We haven't asked Judge Stroller
whether the school boss is getting
this hand out on the square. We do
not intend to. We presume he doesn't
mind if we say we have equally as
good legal advice which declares I'M
euuivocally and without qualification
that this $500 hand out is being taken
from the school fund illegally. We
had that when we first spOke,-the
opinion has not been changed. And
besides, Judge Stroller doesn't kiss
the prayer book when he speaks any
more often than we do. We think
we'll of him, though, because he thinks
what he pleases and doesn't mind who
knows it. He tries to be honest. II
everybody else did that, the world
would be whole lot better.
Coming down to technicalities, that
old, old act under which our school
man. draws his $500, provided for a
clerk and treasurer. The new charter
under which we are living provides
for a secretary and treasurer. And
the new charter hasn't a word in it
about salary of $500 for anybody
net a single word. The old charter
gave the 5000 to a clerk and treas
urer. The new charter mentions
secretary and treasurer and says moth
ing about a clerk and treasurer and
is silent,-awfully, pitifully silent
about the $780, Now, if all this isn't
so we will eat-but what's the use?
Here's a little story about graft for
the children: Once upon time,-back
in 1902, was a man who ran our
schools. He fixed it so he could have
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-07-08

/ a little hand out of,-say $500 a year.
He drew that long, long time Final
i ly somebody came along and picked
him up and chucked him out and then
he waited While,-a very long time,
he thought. Finally one night he saw
his time and he swung hack and then
laughed and laughed and told every
body that little 5000 had hunted him
and bounded him and pestered him for
the longest time before he would con-
sent to make room for it in his peck
et Somebody said he had no right
to put it there and he read and ex-
pounded, and read and construed, and
read and interpreted all the law books
and mail order catalogs,-and then
siad he was legally entitled to it. He
sat back in his easy chair, drew big
Whit of smoke and pulled a big
laugh But he hasn't told anybody
about what the dictionary says about
graft?
That same night he climbed back
into his place in our city schools, an
other man, a good man, that minds
his own business was taken up by the
heels by Old Mr.. Accident and hurled
into this mans company on the
school board. This other good man
once upon time was a crosstie con-
tractor for big railway line. He went
wherever he pleased on a railroad
pass because he made cross-ties, but
one day he handed a conductor a paid
ticket The conductor asked why. This
other good man replied that he was
not riding that day on business for
the big railway that furnished him a
pass and he thought he ought to pay.
This other good man has been our
hero for many years because he did
that He doesn't even know we know
it, and he doesn't know, of course,
that we are telling it here He never
tells it himself. That is not his way.
Now we want you to tell us which
of the two is a really big, sure enough
man, the crossEie contractor who
would not ride on a pass while he was
attending his own business or the
school man who draws for himself out
of the school fund by law that has
been dead many years.

Louis and the consequent exodus of
negroes, leaving the packing plants
short handed, have been a decided
factor in the market this week. AS
result, the packer inquiry has not been
very extensive. While beef steers sell
ing above $11.50 are steady, those
selling between $40 and $11.50 show
a decline of 25 cents per cwt. whole
stockers and feeders slumped fully

has sustained the trade on butcher
cattle at a steady level.

Benny Leonard OutcIasses
Joe Welsh in Six Rounds

Philadelphia, Pa, June 5.-Benny
Leonard, the new lightweight cham
pion of the world, completely out
classed Joe Welsh in the windup at
the Olympia last night, the local box
er being on the defensive in every
round. There was ample evidence
in each session that the champion
did not want to inflict unnecessary
punishment on his opponent, as
there were many times when he re-
fused to take advantage of the tight
places he would have Welsh in.
Many times when Leonard brought
his right hand into play Welsh was
covered up and the blows landed on
his gloves, or he was too far away
for the punch to be effective. 1t was
announced from the ring that the
match had been made at 140 pounds,
and that neither man weighed that
much. Welsh had an advantage in
height and reach.
Joe seemed timid from the start
and did not box with his usual speed.
Leonard forced the fighting and had
Welsh on the defensive from the first
round till the end of the contest.

says both were released on optional
agreement and will be recalled this
fall. Early in the season there was
an announcement that a league rule
would prohibit players from signing
under an optional agreement. If the
Pittsburgh dispatch is correct. some
one ought to explain how Scranton
