THE "NAMELESSn GEORGIAN.


The -Enquirer-Su falls
into line with the Gazette's policy of
applying the silent treatment to no
toriety seekers and next comes the
Americas Times-Recorder which as
serts that it will not, under any cur
cumstances, publish the name of GER
tain Georgian who for the sake of no
toriety has disgraced his state and
himself.
We are not prepared to go so far.
The name of no man is barred from
the columns Of the Gazette, should
circumstances warrant its publication
But We have found the policy of ignor-
ing those who seek to break their way
into our columns with bludgeon aim
ed at their country's head working
very satisfactory, and we propose to
follow it for awhile longer. If the
press as whole, would do likewise.
we would soon be rid of those who
make mischief for notorietys' sake

tween the attitude of the Gazette, the
Times Recorder did not "bar" the
name of this Georgian from it's col

should be necessary to use the name in
its news columns it will do so, but
it will not, if it can be avoided, refer
to him editorially, and no more fire.
quently in its news columns than is
absolutely necessary
The EnquireT-Sun sees no reason
why it should use his name in its edi-
torial columns, and will not do so un
less the occasion demands it in such
way as to make its use imperative. We
are not in sympathy with his views
and We are not going to give him the
benefit of the advertising that could
result from the use of his name in
these columns.-Columbus Enquirer

SPRING.

Because a few vagrant winds from
the north have swirled and gusted in
our midst, don't be deceived into be-
lieving there has been return of
grim winter.
For Spring, gladstone spring, is
abroad in the land. You can see her
tripping joyously through the woods
You will find her footprints on every
gren turf. You hear her voice in the
musical lit of the birds, who sing
more sweetly at this season than al
any other time Of the year-the sea-
son when they, just like humans, light
ly turn to thoughts of love.
Spring is visible in the deep blue Of
the skies, and in the far depths of the
star-studded heavens of night. YOU
feel her warm presence in the preco.
cious breezes waited from the softer
climes. You observe her handiworl
on every lawn and wherever there i:

WIN WE MUST.

Savagery, in comparison with which
the tomahawk and the poisoned arrow
of the savages of old were sanity, has
raised its head and strikes its awful
fangs deep into the heart of civiliza
ton.
Women, pure and holy, sweet as an
gels, are ravished by bestial brutes
whose teachings for years have been
to take whatever you want whenever
and wherever you have the power, of
lands, of money and of all other forms
of material things, and of all the
boiler and more priceless things of
life.
Innocent babies, whose lisping
tongues enchant and whose wonder
ing eyes light the pathway to Heaven,
are killed as though they were raven
Gus beasts, and their sufferings jibed
at by the inhuman mansters turned
loose, filled with all the vileness of
their hell-begoten lives.
Fields are made desolate, churches
and eathedrals are blotted out, wells
are poisoned, whole villages are swept
as by the bosom of destruction, and
awful devastation unequaled in all the
long years of mans existence on earth
rcigns wherever Germanys' accursed
army moves. Millions of men, the
Hover of the worlds civilization, have
with their bodies fortified a thous-
and battlefelds and millions of orphan
cd children and widows, fathers ana
mothers, and sweethearts, bereft of
loved ones dearer than life itself, cry
Ito Heaven from hearts crushed by
earth's most fearful anguish, and stiD
the awful reign of ruin and death goes
on.
/ And why all this suffering?
Why these murdered men, women
and children?
/ Why these broken hearts?
| Why the bones Of babies and their
mothers bleaching the pathways
through the forests and over the snow
and ice as they fed from burning
/ homes to escape the ravisher's on
coming?
i Why?
Because Germany through the
years had been planning its hell-de-
y;sed scheme of conquest its plan for
world domination, based on definite
predetermined campaign of worldwide
| intrigue and lying and thieving anc
murder and rape that Kaiser Wilhelm
| the syphilitic child of syphilitic paren-
, tage, and his rotten-hearted, rotten
! souled military clique might build {
world empire for their ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
and the Derpetuai power or themselves
and their descendants.
This is the mad-dog that is at large
This is the roaring lion seeking to de-
your your wife ard other loved ones
and your country, and you must either
fight or run, and if you run you are
sure to be destroyed.
Fight then we must, and as sure as
right is better than might, as sure as
good is superior to evil, we shall win
