The Presidents Foreign Trip

We don't know whether we should call it foreign
trip for wherever flag flies and boys are, the
President should feel at home.
Some weeks ago we said we thought the President
should stay in Washington and still think it might
have been better but willing to trust Mr. Wilson
personally, much further than willing to trust
of the in whom he has reposed his confidence
Since he has chosen to go in person to France, we
have nothing but support for him and government
We knew howl would go up from certain quarters if
he went and that howl might reach the waters
and lead fool there to believe the American people
were not in accord with the President.
Some of the Republicans leaders are now trying to
make it appear that the recent election discredited the
president, but take it to only that the Demo-
who did not support the and the presidents war
justly rebuked by the people, and If the
Republicans want like rebuke two years hence, just
let them keep up senseless opposition of the president
when they get charge of Congress in March.

FRENCH MOTHERS CHARGE
KAISER WITH ABDUCTION

Paris, Tuesday, Dec. 10.-Legal &C
ton against the former German en-
peror has been commenced by an or
ganization of Lille mothers" The
demand for prosecution states that
the commanders of the German army
in April, 1916, directed that minor
girls be carried away from their fami-
lies, that they were submitted to
odious treatment and forced into
close contact with notorious women.
The statement of complaint says
that whereas said commanders were
thus guilty of the crime of abduc-
ton and that they were under com
mand of their former emperor, prose
cution is demanded.

How About This, Governor?

legislature is said to be one of the irresponsible
things the face of the earth and the Georgia Legsa
ture is certainly exception to the rule.
When the members together they are first anC
almost wholly concerned in the passage of their little
pet private bills land the life of the session limited
they usually almost the entire session in trading
and pushing these bills leaving the tender merces of
the few dying hours of the session, the vastly i'm
portant legislation of general welfare nature.
They always assume that there will be plenty of time
and result of the general Legislation is "half
baked"
Now whether this be the not the law creating
present highway commission is half baked" and
the above causes have helped to keep it so.
If Georgia gets cent of her share of the high
way money appropriated by the government, it will be
after she has enacted adequate highway commission
law and put it into operation.
We believe every reasonably intelligent will agree
that there is hope under the commission at present

Now, when consider these facts, and look at the
money going to lose otherwise, think it would
be great economy well wise thing, If the Cover
nor would session of the Legislature to meet
the earliest practical date to deal solely with this
matter. We believe extra session for this purpose
would meet the approval of the entire state.
The war is over and attention than before
will be paid road building Our boys in France have
seen some good roads and know their value and we
do mot believe they will again be contented with
the unkept trails which accustomed to call roads.
How about it Governor Dorsey? We believe this
matter is entirely in your hands
Even if we could afford to wait for the next regular
session. it would be irresponsible, just others have
been but you call session charged specially with this
matter you get something done about it.
While duty still lies with the press of the state to
keep up the agitation for good roads, Governor have
the initiative call extra session and charge it with
the work of enacting real highway commission law, and
let get for suffering roads, the money long tied
up in Washington.

THE INDUSTRIAL SHUT DOWN
Editor S. r. Foster Thinks the
Executive Branch OF the Gov
eminent Has Lost its Head

With only twenty-four hours notice
from Mr.. Garfield, u. S. fuel dictator,
practically every industry east Of the
Mississippi was compelled to cease u.s.
ing fuel for power or for heating build
ipgs except TO an extent to prevent
pipes from freezing, at midnight {last
night Thursday. To reflect general
opinion and its own impression, the
Times must declare that Washington
appears to have lost its head and that
the tremendous responsibilities of wal
conditions has unsettled the proper
viewpoint of those who have been
given dictatorial powers.
Congress was not consulted and only
three members of the Cabinet including
President Wilson, appear to have been
brought into the plan. The Senate by
a vote of so to 10, sought to delay the
enforcement of the edict without avail.
1t is believed that the order will cost
the country a hundred times as much
as the benefit to accrue, and hat it will
be of untold comfort to the enemy and
publish to the world, conditions great
ly exaggerated.
This is the viewpoint of loyal, patri-
otto citizens, men who stand ready to
give their all to the country but who
deplore mistakes in administration
which injure instead of help.
There is q need to conserve fuel, but
10 go doing the least possible holdup of
industries must be sought. The drastic
order compelling a five day stoppage,
and Monday holidays thereafter until
March 25th, throws millions of men
and women out of employment who
need every dollar they can earn. Some
industries al pay wages just the same,
but the majority cannot. The country's
output of necessities is seriously ham,
pe red when there is the utmost need of
speeding up.
In rural communities where small
industries are operated, there will be
practically no saving 10 fuel and yet
business will be hampered and the nor
NAL trend needlessly dislocated. The
order is SO general in application that it
appears to defeat the end sought.-By
8. P. Foster, in the Elmer Times, Fri
day, January 81, 1918.
