roads being so slow and Indifferent
to public requirements.
Senator Smith thinks and in my
opinion thinks rightfully and logi-
cally, that there is not any question
as to. the compatibility of appropriate
ing one hundred million dollars for
this urgent necessity The govern
ment has appropriated seven hundred
and fifty million dollars for ships.
The Senator does not see any reason
why it is not thoroughly business like
pertinent, Democratic and Constitu-
tional, to help the private ownership
of a privately owned public utility,
operated on land as we'll as pri-
vately owned utility upon the sea.
1t is alright to give these weighty
questions due consideration. If one
or the other must suffer it is better
that the private interest suffer rather
than the public interest.
1t is a great reflection upon the
management of both Public and pri-
vate institutions that commodities
should be piled up in one section of
the country and rot for lack of faci-
lities of transportation, while the car
service is congested in another sec
ton while the people are caught be-
tween these two unwarranted and
unnecessary evils. Such a state of
affairs is inclined sometimes to make
the general public discredit the sim
certify of the private ownership and
makes them think strange of states
manship that allows such uncalled for
and unjustifiable abnormality to ex-
list.
Perhaps Congress would be more
prompt in coming to the relief of such
bad situations if the people would
just manifest keener interest in
business affairs than they do. If the
amendment of Senator Smith does
not pass it will at least have accom-
plished great good, because it has
been instrumental in having the mat
ter thoroughly tFashed out, and the
grain and the chaff so winnowed as
to enable the people to locate clearly
the disease and fix the responsible
ty.
Senator Smith is one of the hard
est working men in either the house
or the senate. He works day and
night. He is an industrious, consci-
entious, painstaking student of pub
lie affairs, absolutely undemogoical.
He is not playing to the galleries or
making charlatanic bids for the lime
light. He is hewing steadily and
consistently to the line, perfectly in
different as to where the chips fall.
He is in favor of giving all privately
owned enterprises of wholly, and
quasi public institutions fair chance
and square deal with a distinct
understanding that the public inter
est must not suffer.

A Bold German Editor

The New York Evening Post,
which is anything but sensational, re-
Gently had an editorial on the plain
truths published about the German
government by a German "free
lance" editor who accuses the gov
eminent of not only deceiving Presi-
dent Wilson but its own people. A
summary of severe attack by this edi-
tor upon his own government ends in
these words:
"Official explanations are one
thing; the general sense of the fact
is quite another. The government
logic of Germany is, as we have of
ten had occasion to remark, a fear
full and wonderful thing, and it can
not fairly represent the way in which
the average German brain works
upon data and propositions honestly
given it. One part of the wonder
full devotion and submissiveness
which the German people have dis
played during this war has been their
apparent acquiesence in all govern
ment reasoning, however fantastic it
may have been, and the virtual abdi-
cation of their own intellects. But
! this cannot go on indefinitely. AL
ready there are plentiful signs that
the German mind is waking up and
asserting itself. 1t begins to show
that it knows an absurdity, or a con-
tradiction in terms, when it sees it,
even if gravely put forward by the
government. Plain folk in Germany
can perceive that the submarine
which was to bring England to her
knees in six weeks, has not done it
IN three months, and holds no prom
Use of doing it in year, or two years.
And to the dullest German eye it
must be visible that the government
is either under a strong delusion, or
is guilty of an attempt at deception,
when it declares that England after
being forced to sue for peace, will
find Germany's terms Surprisingly
moderate" If England is beaten,
the German government can and will
demand everything. On the other
hand, England could not think of
suing for peace unless she was ready
to admit that the whole British en-
pire had fallen in ruin. 1t will take
years of summarizing to bring that
possibility in sight! Sensible Ger
mans must know this as well as the
! next man, and must also know that
II submarine balance-sheet were to
be drawn up, it would show terrible
preponderance of losses for Ger
many. What shall it profit a nation
to sink a thousand ships in defiance
of law and elementary human kid
ness, only to bring the whole world
on its back? This is the question
which Macmillan Harden puts to
the German people. Their answer
to 1t may not mean revolution in
Germany, but can hardly fail to
mean growing and intense dissatis-
faction with the German govern
ment.

Wheat

Wheat is doing we'll in Southwest
Georgia this year. Years ago wheat
was very generally planted in this
section, but rust frequently at
tackled it, and our farmers gradual
ly abandoned it. During recent
years, however, rust-proof variety
of wheat has been introduced, and
good crops have been made. We
know one Daugherty county farmer
who has been successful with wheat
three years in succession now, and
this years crop is the best he has
yet grown. Wheat in this section
has done SO well this year that MANY
more of our farmers will probably
plant this grain next year.-Albany

BOND TOTAL NOT COMPLETE
Treasury Department Says, However,
That Indications Are That Maxi
mum Had Been Passed.

Washington, Oct. 29.---The total
amount subscribed to the Second LIB
erty Loan, the Treasury Department
announced tonight, is still "a matter
Of speculation" Several days prob
ably will elapse before the full extent
Of the Nations subscriptions is ascer-
tanned.
Returns received at the treasury
today gave little indication as to the
final result" the department an
nounced tonight. "On the face Of re.
turns 1t cannot be said whether the
sale exceeded 5 billion. Conviction Is
general, however, that It probably ap-
proximated the maximum total. Banks,
of course, have made no effort to tab
ulate all their returns, and may not do
SO until the final day for reporting,
November /. Obviously great changes
may be made in the total between
now and Thursday.
ut seems certain that every district
has gone we'll past its minimum and
that several will exceed their maxi
mum sufficiently to carry the weaker
districts to the high mark in the gen.
eral total,

Executive Says Nation Can Not Wlnl
In War Without Cooperation
of the People.

Washington, Oct. 29.-President VIII
son, in statement issued today, urged
every home and public eating place in
the United States to pledge its support
to the food administration and to com.

ton
The President said that In no other
way than through this cooperation OF
the people can the Nation accomplish
its object in the war. The statement
follows:
THE chief part of the burden OF
finding food supplies for the peoples
associated with US in war falls for the
present upon the American people, and
the drain upon supplies on such
scale necessarily affects the prices Of
our necessaries Of life,
"Our country, however, is blessed
with an abundance OF foodstuffs, and
if our people will economic In their
use Of food, proyidently confining
themselves to the quantities required
for the maintenance Of health and
strength; If they will eliminate waste;
and II they will make use Of those
commodities OF which we have sur.
plus and thus free for export larger
proportion of those required by theI
world now dependent upon us, wei
shall not only be able to accomplish
our obligations to them, but we shall
obtain and establish reasonable prices
ut nome. To provide an adequate sup.
ply OF food both for our own soldiers
on the other side of the seas and for
the civil populations and the armies
Of the Allies is one of our first and
foremost obligations; for II we are to
maintain their constancy in this strug-
gle for the independence Of all ma.
tions, we must first maintain their
health and strength. The solution OF
our food problems, therefore, Is de-
pendent upon the individual service OF
every man, woman and child in the
United States. The great voluntary eff
fort in this direction which has been
initiated and organized by the food ad'
ministration under my direction offers
an opportunity of service in the war
which is open to every individual and
by which every individual may serve
both his own people and peoples OF the
world.
I'VE cannot accomplish our objects
in this great war without sacrifice
and devotion, and in no direction can
that sacrifice and devotion be shown
more than by each home and public
eating place in the country pledging
its support to the food administration
and complying with its requests.
