WAR MEASURES
HEAD ALL WORK
LEGISLATURE GOES INTO SEES
SION TO-DAY.

ATLANTA Ca, June 26.-With tn,
opening today of the annual fifty-da!
session of the Georgia legislature
war measures and the general appro
priation bill will take first place OF
the calendar of the house and senate
as there is a strong sentiment among
members of both bodies to dispose OF
these matters ahead of everything
else, and possibly abbreviate the SEES
sion and adjourn to a time certain"
in the fall for another abbreviated
session to take up any ether war mat
ters that may develop in the mean,
time.
Important among the war measures
to be handled at this session are the
compulsory work bill, requiring every
able bodied man between the ages of
Is and so years to work at least five
days in the week; the bill charging
the powers and increasing the appro
priation Of the State Council of De
tense; and the bill allowing soldiers
to vote in the state elections. All OF
these measures will probably be given
the right-of-way, Another proposed
piece of war Legislation is the abolish
ment of pool rooms during the war

Council of Defense as loafing places

which is made necessary at this ses-
sion by reason of the fact that last
years general appropriation bill was
only Il one-year bill, instead of the

bly,, will occupy a great deal of time
Practically all of the big departments
are asking for increased appropria
tons to meet the increased demands
made upon them in connection with

MAJOR QUINN C0NAINUES
MAKING SCHOOL TROUBLES

ATLANTA, ga, June 24.-Quite
sengation has been caused in Atlanta
bv the disclosures of Miss Laura
Smith primary supervisor of the city
schools, ecently acting superintend-
ent OF schools while the superinten-
dent and his assistant were under in
yes tigation, and supposed TO be sup
porter CT the revolutionary policies Of
Mayor R. j. Quinn, which brought on
the storm of public protest.
But instead of indorsing Mayor
Quinn in a public statement dealing
with the school system, she declares
that many OF the revolutionary pro
jectg accomplished by him under the
color Of progressiveness are total fail
ure. and further declares that they
were put into operation without con
sulting the teaching force.
Miss Smith has resigned her posi-
ton in the city schools, where she ha
been tremendously popular, both with
teachers, the children and parents,
and accepted very important position
with the Red Cross for rehabilitation
work in France.
When William M. Slaton who was
superintendent of schools at the time
Ma jor Quinn came on the board of edu-
cation, opposed the revolutionary pro-
jects now condemned by Miss Laura
Smith, he was removed from the posi-
ton of superintendent. A petition was
signed by 1000 citizens requesting
the board to retain William M. Slaton,
but the board removed him. Now the
progressive" policies and projects of
Major Quinn have caused such a
storm of public Indignation that he re-
signed from the board before the
counciImanic investigation was well
underway K{Y{E

KEEP COOL.

During these days when the German
horde is making its supreme attack on the
western front of the battle lines in Europe
the American people have need for all their
fortitude and courage. It is no time to sub
NIT to misgivings and undue excitement;
that would serve very well the purpose Of
the Hun.
The thoughts of everyone must be cen
tered on the work to be done here at home
The war gardens must be cared for and ar
must be made now To produce
the greatest crop of foodstuffs the nation
has ever grown.
Tho strength of the German army indi-
Gates clearly that the task which the allies
face is gigantic one. All illusions as to
when the war will end must be dispelled be-
fore the task of preparing to feed millions of
Americans in France and their allies "over
there"
AT the same time, too, every loyal citi-
zen must increase his vigilance in watching
for the enemy at home. No |. w. W., no
pro-German, must be permitted to SOW
treason here at home. The temper of the
people is fast reaching point where drastic
methods alone will satisfy and silly senti-
ment must go by the board to make way for
adequate method of treating traitors.

make an offer of the plant to the city. Its
proposal for arbitration was not exactly in
point for the city council would not have
been sustained by public opinion if it agreed
to pay any price that three outside parties
would have placed upon the company s
property.
property. The company did make offers to
sell at various times but so indefinitely, in
the council s opinion that no serious consid-
Grafton was given them.
Had the company placed valuation
on its plant, and a selling price there might
have been point from which negotiations
could have worked. The fact that an effort
was made to influence the officials of the
federal reserve district to use their infltr
ence with the war securities committee, with
out letting the city officials know of the eff
fort could not fail to result other than it has,
in creating feeling on the part OF many
that the company has not dealt above the
boards with the city.
No city can afford to be unfair to its
constituents, and the Water company is
such in as much as it is one of the taxpayers,
But it is likewise true that no public service
corporation can afford TO be unfair to the
municipalities it serves. The public, the
Argus believes, would be willing to see the
city buy the present distributing system for
what it is worth to the city as a part of the
new system planned, and that in view OF the
health question involved is all that the com
pany can expect, tho everyone is willing to
admit that the officials of the company are
serving the interest of their employers IN
trying to get all they can secure. However,
it paws, always, to play with all the cards OF
top the table. This applies to all who parti-
cipate in any game.
