The Woodpecker.
From the Valdosta Timas

Since couple of woodpeckers have made
a habit of rapplng on the roof of the editors
house every morning about $50 o'clock,
making it necessary for him to get up and
''shoo" them away before he could finish
his second nap, there has been murder in
his heart against the red-topped birds. but.
since finding out that the department of
agriculture estimates that every woodpecker
IS worth $1,000 apiece for the bugs and
worms 1t destroys, he is cultvating a much
more tender feeling towards them.
The scientists and "bugoogists'' are find
ing out that the slaughter of innocent birds
by boys and people who kill them lust for
fun has cost the farmers of the country not
only thousands, but millions of dollars. The
loss has grown from year to year in com
pounded ratio. 1t was so small for a while
that it was hardly noticed.
At the present time the boil weevil. the
pink worm and other pests that affect cotton,
corn and other products of the farmers are
scourging the country 1t is believed that
these pests would have been put out of bust
ness IN the beginning of their career if the
birds had been let alone Not only are in
sectivorous birds destroyed, but birds that
eat the seeds of weeds and which would save
the farmers many hard licks if thew were
not killed are being wiped out.
The ruthless destruction of birds runs
parallel with the destruction of other re-
sources of this country We must put stop
to it, or our people will suffer the conse-
quences Nature provides for birds to de-
stroy crops if allowed to have their own wav
One way of protecting the crops is to pro
tect the birds that stand between them and
the ravages of the insects.

Prayer In Time of War.

A prayer IN congress in TIT by Rev J.
Duche: o Lord, our heavenly father. high
and mighty king of kings, and Lord of lords.
who dost from thy throne behold all the
jewellers on earth and reignest with power
supreme and uncontrolled over all the king
doms, empires and governments, look down
IN mercy, we beseech thee, on these Ameri-
can states, who have fled to thee from the
rod of the oppressor, and thrown themselves
on thy gracious protection, desiring hence
forth to be dependent only on thee: to thee
they have appealed for the righteousness of
their cause; to thee do they now look for
that countenance and support which thou
alone canst give; take them, therefore, heav-
emily father, under thy nurturing care: give
them wisdom in council and valor in the
held; defeat the malicious designs of orr
cruel adVersarles; cOnvice them of the nm
righteousness of their cause, and if thew
persist in their sanguinary purpose. oh. let
the voice of thine own unerring Justice
sounding in their hearts, constrain them to
drop the weapons of war from their unnerv
ed hands in the day of battle! Be thou pres
ent y God of wisdom, and direct the coun-
CHS OF this honorable assembly; enable them
TO settle things on the best and surest foun-
datlon, that the scene of blood may be speed
lily closed; that order, harmony and peace
may be effectually restored and truth and
justice, religion and piety prevail and flour
lsh among thy people. Preserve the health
OF their bodies and vigor of their minds.
shower down on them and the millions thew
here represent such temporal blessings as
thou seest expedient for them in this world.
and crown them with the everlasting GLORY
IN the world to come. All this we ask in
the name and through the merits of Jesus
Chrlsc, thy son, our saviour. Amen

TRUST THE PRESIDENT.

The senate at Washington will no doubt
settle the food control question, and the pro-
hibition issue with it. That issue, purely a
moral issue, should never have been inject
ed into the proposed legislation, and now
it is to be hoped that EDITORIAL as the pre-
rogative may Beg the president will be given
power and discretion to deal with the mat
ter.
The objection to such Legislation is the
danger it holds If our people part with too
many liberties now, because of the exigen-
cies of war, will they be able to get those
liberties back when the war ends? That
danger looms up all the time now when we
are taking new and grave departures in leg
islation.
We had rather trust the issue and the fu-
ture in the hands of one strong, patriotic
man like the president than to follow some
of the other alternatives that exist

THE PROHIBITION Stalls

The action of the senate probably defines
the scope of liquor legislation at the present
session of congress. The distillation of spir-
ltuous liquors as beverage is to be discon-
tinued during the war. Stores of whisky
now in bond are not to be confscated or
Communicated. Manufacture of beer and
wine Is not to be interferred with for the
present. The net gain for the cause Of pro-
hlbition is found in the suspension of the
manufacture of whisky. This is not only in
the Interest of grain conservation. but NAV
serve as a measure of preparation for ma
tlonal prohibition which seems to be on the
way. Economic loss incident to change to
nationwide dry policy may be materially
reduced during an intermediary period of
hon-productlon and tapering consumption.
! 4Wenty-three states are now dry of their
own volition. Four more have decided to
join the dry column within year. Others
have taken preliminary steps toward prohi-
bltion. Federal law now co-operates with
state law to keep liquor from passing from
wet states to dry states. Plainly the country
is tapering off the liquor habit. National pro
hibition at least as applied to whisky, now
appears to be in reach. 1t is not inappropri-
ate that the prohibitionists should take a
breathing space and consolidate their
gains" States that still remain wet are the
ones in which the liquor traffic is most strong
ly entrenched industrially and in public sym
patty Prohibition in New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri or Cali
fornla means vastly more financial and So
cial disturbance than in Georgia, Alabama
or Mississippi The strongholds of liquor
may proftably use little time for readjust-
ment while the dry forces are renewing their
munitions and supplies for what may be the
final advance

PLAYING POLITICS.

We are not so sure but there is more poll
tics than patriotism in this fierce denuncia-
ton and the charge of disloyalty so freely
hurled against men who the people of Geor-
gia have so long trusted and hOnored. The
exercise of opinion as to measures and poll
cies, which is the right of every free Ameri-
can, does not warrant some things that are
being said and done. The News has never
been in political accord with the distinguish
ed gentlemen under fire, but we believe in
justice and fair play. We cannot conceive
of any real Georgian who is not in thorough
sympathy with the high purposes expressed
by President Wilson upon our entrance into
the war, or who wishes or intends to throw
obstacles in the way of speedily and effectu-
ally fiogging Germany to a FRAGILE We are
going too far towards throttling free speech
and the exercise of the rights of freemen.
and in this connection we invite thoughtful
consideration of timely article we print
elsewhere on this page from the Augusta
Chronicle. The American people. under the
constitution of the United States and our
form of government, are not yet subjects.

THE IUDCFSAIP

The Savannah Press, which has been and
IS one of Senator Hardwick's severest and
most uncoppromisinb critics, is inclined to
sympathize with the attitude of the senator
IN the matter of the southern district Judge
ship. The Press 'does not believe the attor-
ney general and the president of the United
States have met Senator Hardwick of Geor-
GA IN the proper spirit in his effort to Sc
cure new federal judge" and says "thev
have apparently made up their minds to
give affront to the Georgia senators" This
is patronage that has heretofore been rec
ognlzed as the senator's, and by custom and
right the senator's endorsement was expect-
ed to have due weight 1t is plainly evident
that the Georgia senators are not the onlv
ones who are playing politics in this matter,
and that the white house is inclined to "rnb
it in."

THE UPKEEP OF ROADS.

Many road officials seem to believe that
the building of good road completes their
job. This fault is especially true in the
management of sand-clay and earth roads.
II we are to have the most miles of the
best roads for the money we spend we must
learn, as the Farm and Fireside says in dis
cussing this important matter, that the prin-
clple expressed in the old adage, "a stitch
IN time saves nine, applies to roads as well
as to other human affairs. Even the most
superficial road observers will not deny this
truth.
However, when the public protests or
crluclses, or offers suggestions it too often
marks back to little piles of mending material
az intervals along the roadside instead of
using the drag to do the work The drag
makes unnecessary the handy piles of ma
terial, for it gathers as it goes along the
material needed for the patching The drag
y easily the more efficient in addition to be-
n ing the more economical procedure fol
maintenance.
