shorter in the foot than a full ten
inches should be sent nor one
longer than 13inches. Moreover
the socks should be well proper.

A MORE PERFECT PEACE.

Sherman's oft quoted definition
is not the only thing this Civil
War general said about war. He
also said that 1.-THE legitimate pur-
pose of war is a more perfect
peace.
This is the sole purpose of
Americas present war against
the Hun. A more perfect peace
alone will justify the terrible suf-
fering and sacrifices war has
brought the Allies these four years
and which it is just now beginning
to bring to us.
There can be no compromise,
no premature peace. 1t must not
be a peace but the peace. There
IS sharp line dividing autocracy
and democracy. They cannot both
continue in this world.

THE ACTIVE MR.. HARRIS.

A headline in Tuesdays Consti-
tuition says "Wm. J. Harris on way
to Atlanta to open campaign He
was enroute from Washington, where
it has been repeatedly heralded that
his services were so much needed.
Only a few days since he was in At
lanta and as usual his press agents
announced his movements with so
much spread of printers ink as If
the people of Georgia cared where
he might be or what he was doing.
AS he has resigned effective May
81, his official activity wifi cease
at that time, but during the past
two years he has made many trips
to Georgia. in some capacity, and no
gathering of any sort, Press Asso-
citation, Farmers convention, or Reli-
gious convention could be pulled off
in Georgia, but what he would be
there.
He was probably afraid they would
not know how to run things without
him. His expense account must have
been healthy one, and no doubt the
Pullman car conductors and porters
on the Washington line feel like old
friends.
Sometimes we have felt that it
might have been just as well if some
train left Bin, and took on another
pouch of the delayed mails instead.

CARD FROM MR.. HANCOCK

MARIETTA ICE & COAL CO.
! Marietta, Ga, March 21, 1918
Editor, Marietta Journal,
City.
| Dear Sir:
notice in an edition of the Mari
eta Journal of last week refer
ence to me having been elected as
President of the Hon. W. j. Harris
Club in the Senatorial contest. If
understand it correctly, you evil
dently intended to convey the inn
preston that because | happen to be
in the coal business there is some col
lusion between Hon. W. j. Harris
and myself fer selfish motives.
For your information, Mr.. Harris
has absolutely nothing to do with
the regulations of the coal industry
and has not had since August, 1917,
at which time the Administration
turned over the coal situation to the
Fuel Administration, headed by DR..
Garfield, | might say further, when
the Government, through Mr. Harris,
last summer advised the people not
to buy coal because prices would be
lower, the coal dealer was hurt more
than any one else, but we realized
the Government was acting in the
interest of the people, and if it hurt
the coal dealers it was their misfor-
tune, and we were satisfied to bear
our part of the burden imposed upon
us on account of the war. wish
to state further, if the Administra-
tion had not regulated the coal busi-
ness the people undoubtedly would
have paid $12 10 SIS for the coal
bought by them this past winter.
l trust this explanation will con-
vince you, because my friends and
the friends of Mr. Harris honored me
by electing me as head of the Har-
ris Club in Cobb County, that did
not accept the place from any selfish
motives, and am sure you will grant
me the right to support a man that
l consider patriotic and loyal to the
Administration, and, in every way,
worthy and qualified to fill the i'm
portant office the he seeks.
Thanking you for this privilege of
making this explanation through your
paper, | am,
Yours very truly,
J. w. Hancock.
We are ,glad to publish the above
candid letter from Mr.. Hancock, but
we do not see how it clears w. J.
Harris of bunghng the coal matter.
Mr. Hancock admits that the gov
ernment last August, after Mr.. Har-
ris had been advising against buying
coal, took the matter out of his
hands, and turned it over to fuel
administrator.
This too was fortunate for the
people, as Mr.. Hancock admits he
would have charged US $12 to SIS
per ton for coal if the governments
had permitted it.

THE COUNTY AFFAIRS.

Some weeks ago we were advised
through the public prints that the
county accounts and affairs of the
county were in a deplorable condi-
most horrible condition, and if you
ton. Even the Grads were in the
believed all you read Cobb County
might as well suspend business and
quit, for the Treasurer in a card
spoke of it as financial catastro-
phe."
Well we did not get excited about
all this, for at the start we thought
it but an attempt to start poll
tical campaign against one of our
Board of County Commissioners.
Really, we thought Cobb County
would be here next year, and then
some more, and just as good as it
is today or was last year.
We went to the Court House and
talked to the various county Off
cials, and they let US look
at all the books we wanted to see,
and we took the figures and made up
statement of the condition of the
county which did not look bad at
all.
Then we learned that an auditor
was coming out from Atlanta, and
check up the books of the ceNnty,
so we have waited before giving out
our figures.
Well, at last the auditor has fin
ished and made his report to the
Board of Commissioners, who in
turn gave it to the Grand Jury and
now the public.
And as we said before we never
felt alarmed, but somebody must
have been disappointed, for the re-
port finds that we may yet hope.
To quote from the auditors report:
Comparing the net indebtedness
of the county at the two periods
March /, 1917 and March 1, 1919
shows that the county is $6,670.66
better off at the end of the period
than at the last"
Now that don't look so bad does
it unless you are just looking for
trouble.
Then further the report in COM
mert on the affairs of the Offices of
both the Board of Commissioners and
the Treasurer is most highly COM
meRdatory.
We would print the full report
if we thought you cared to read it
but we don't believe you would
After all is said and done it looks
to us like like the only unfavOrabIe
outlook for the county lies in the fact
that the interest rate has gone up,
and the price of supplies has advanc-
ed enormously, and is likely to cut
big figure in the expenses of this
year
For this no one in Cobb county is
responsible. Interest everywhere has
gone up, The Government itself is
paying double it's usual rate.
SO we are forced to the conclusion
that there is no trouble with Cobb
County, but just the Cobb County
Times taking a jaundiced view of
things And we believe that it is
feeling better ROW.

During the Spanish-American War
we remember a criticism of political
appointments to high office in the
army, which said that "many colonels
and Generals could not drill squad
without a prompter, or mount a
horse without a ladder" We are
proud to see that in this war no such
criticism could be made. All of
fcers are capable of strenuous ac'
tien.

"Colors" and Colonels and Captains,
but remember people, do not forget
