Editor Marietta Journal

We all remember the old story of
the two men who were ordering their
breakfast of negro waiter. The
first gave his order and included
poached eggs, thhe second said bring
me the same order, but eliminate the
eggs" After some delay and confu-
sion in the kitchen, the waiter re-
turned and said, BOSS you will have
to take your eggs some other way, we
aint got no liminator."
Now but short time since, one of
the Georgia papers published lot Of
correspondence between Schley How
ard and the President, and then it
proceeds to eliminate" Howard from
the Seatorial race Then other Har-
ris organs throughout the state re-
hashed the story to suit their views
and also pronounced Howard as "e-
minated" Then along came Mr..
Dean. of somewhere, and with Ii
ouor dealers brief, he also proceeds
to eliminate" Howard. And besides
all this, the Hon. William +, Harris
has been reading pieces" almost dali
ly throughout section of the state,
and in each piece" he has an elimi-
mating clause which he applies to
Howard.
Now what | want to know is just
this: How many times will Howard
have to be eliminated" by whom,
and by how many kinds of ''elimina-
tors" before he is elected Senator
from Georgia?
Georgia Cracker from Missouri. "
We really cannot say, but to US it
looks like they will finally have to
come back like the negro waiter and
confess: "We aint got no "liminator. "
The votes of the people of Georgia
is the only real "eliminator" that
could stop Howard, and the present
bunch of would be "eliminators" do
not own those votes.
All this elimination business
seems to provide amusement for the
people and "nourishment" for How
ard, so why try to interfere with l.?

GETTING DESPERATE

Some of the Harris organs are get
ting desperate. Listen at this from
the Rome Tribune-Herald.
Judge Newton A. Morris of Ma
rietta fired a broadside Of abuse and
villification at w. J. Harris in Sun
days Atlanta Journal Judge Nor
ris appears by the way to be quite
an adept in the art of villification
learned no doubt in the cultured
school of Cobb county politics. Mr.
Harris should be highly compliment
ed at the opposition of politicians OF
the Newt Morris stripe, the more OF
that kind that attack him, the easier
will be his task before the people.
Incidentally, slap is also made at
"Cobb county politics." so we must
infer that they have much purer
article over in Floyd.
In order to let our readers all know
how bad man this Judge Morris is,
we print the offending article on our
front page.
We can assure our honored con-
temporary that the slur on Cobb will
not get them anywhere, or help Mr..
Harris either in Cobb or Floyd.

THE REST ROOM

For quite a while we agitated the
need of rest room in Marietta, so
that ladies who come in from the
country and have some hours to stay
in town, may spend the time. The
need is also urgent where a small
child or children are along.
Finally the matter took the definite
form of subscription for the support
of such a room and we were glad to
subscribe our part
1t was agreed that if a house close
in could be secured it would be bet
ter than a room, and some of it could
be made use of as a demonstrative
kitchen for Mrs. Sawyer, our Home
Economics Agent. A sort of womans
farm club house is what is needed.
All this has now been provided for
through the assistance of the Civic
League and some of the ladies. In
a short time the house will be opened
as rest room and farm demon
stration room. The house secured is
the one next door to the Baptist
Parsonage on Church Street and is
very close in, being second door from
Dr. Nolan's Sanatarium.
Mrs. Sawyer will have her office
and demonstration kitchen there and
She has promised to advise US the date
of the opening as a rest room.

SHAW WOULD MAKE
HARRIS A SHEPHERD

Emmett Shaw will never see Slick
Harris thrown away politically. He
could not make a living. He would
suffer. He can't run an insurance
company. They burst on him every
time and everybody loses. He can't
keep books, for he can't get balance.
He can't pick patriots, for ne picked
Hardwick. He can't figure out the
supply of coal for he drew 100000 a
month as chairman of the Federal
Trade Board and said he had the an
swer and tipped us off here in Geor-
gia saying, don't buy coal now, it
will be plentiful and cheaper" He
missed his tonnage nearly hundred
million tons. He said ''it will be
cheaper" and it went from 81 to $40
and everybody in Georgia like to have
froze. We have figured out job he
can hold though, we will ask the Pres
ident to make him shepherd of the
White House lawn. The President
has eighteen sheep that do not need,
but could use, shepherd. The grass
is long and good and the sheep won't
want to jump out. Then the big iron
fence is too high for them to go over.
William ]. Harris would be a model
shepherd for the White House sheep.

Saying NOTHING
AND SAVING WOOD

The expression, Saying nothing
and saving wood" is a good one.
Just at this time it is indeed appro-
pirate that our people should literally
adopt it as good advice to be follow
ed.
There is no question but there
will be shortage of fuel again next
winter. There is not enough coal go
ing to be mined and hauled to supply
all the people with the usual guam
tity. The government must have a
larger amount than usual to supply
ships, and the railroads will need a
larger amount, and as the mines have
no larger supply of labor, somewhere
there will have to be a shortage.
Of course it is the wise thing to do
to get your coal now. But everyone
can not do this. We therefore would
like to offer some good patriotic ad-
vice. Begin at once to buy wood and
keep buying wood until you have a
sufficient stock to be independent OF
coal. Still you can buy some coal If
not full supply, but the main idea
is to be fixed for the winter if you
should not be able to get pound OF
coal.
We can do this in this country and
in most parts of the state of Georgia,
there is plenty of wood which can be
had at about the same cost as coal.
If the town folks would arrange
with some farmer to take his wood,
that farmer could utilize his team on
every trip he makes to town.
And again Mr.. City Man, don't
worry if you have to buy the wood in
long lengths. Just get you a buck
saw and try taking little morning
exercise.
Personally speaking this is what we
have done, and what we are going
to do again, so we are going to take
our own advice, so far as the saving
wood is concerned, but about the
"saying nothing" well, talking is a
big part of our business.
But remember, cut wood! Burn
wood! Uncle Sam must have coal!
