BACON AND FREDERICK.


The decision of Congress to disman-
tie the statue of Frederick the Great
and pack it away, probably for all
time, recalls the part Georgian play
ed at the time this present from Ger
many was accepted by the United
Estates
There is no doubt of the fact that
the presentation of the statue was all
a part of the subtle German scheme OF
propaganda, which was conducted
most insidiously for so many years
with the view of promoting spec
ious Prussian prestige in this country.
1t was in 1912 that the Emperor Of
fered to erect the monument to his
forefather, whose warlike proclivities
he has sought to emulate and whose
doctrine of might is right" he has
carried to an orgy of excess. There
was some discussion then of the pro-
priety of accepting the git, and one
Of the chief and most stalwart object
ors was Senator A. o. Bacon, OF Geor-
gia, who later became chairman of
the foreign relations committee.
1t may have been intuition, it may
have been political foresight, but at
any rate Senator Bacon voiced Wig
orous protest against this country Off
cially accepting the statue from Ger
many. However, he was in the mi
nority, and in due time the chiseled
stone was shipped over, later being
unveiled with much pomp and cere-
money. Bacon's idea was that the
character of Frederick the Great was
utterly repugnant to American ideals,
and that it was therefore inconsistent
for this nation of free liberty-loving
democrats to participate in doing
honor, as it were, to man who in his
own day was described as "a despot
who has extensively pillaged all o.
his nefghbors."
Frederick the Great was great only
in that the abuse of right through the
force of might makes man great.
He had no greatness OF character; but
he did SOW those seeds of Prussianism
which are today in full bloom and
whose deadly poison has created this
His worst traits are
pefsonified in his descendant who now
occupies the throne of Germany, only
many times magnifed.
The United States may have made a
in accepting the statue of
Frederick, but no error was commit
ed in removing it from public vew.

THE SCARLET LETTER.

Cp0n the brow of the junior sena-
trr' from this state, there has been
stamped the scarlet letter Of infamy.
He is toGay a marked man, branded
for all the world to see. The hideous
stigma of downright disloyalty has
been, placed on him, and is spuru-
ed by ali citizens who know that their
own patriotism is above repFoaclr.
When his name Is. mentioned in loyal
circles, ''Uncleans uncleanI" is. the
cry. Good citizens are being called
upon everywhere to avoid him as they
would leper-aRd a political leper is
what he is.
Such, in effect, is the sense of the
singing resolutions adopted lastnigfa
by the meeting held under the aus
p;ces of the local chapters of a pa
triotic organization. We serousi'
doubt if any Georgian, in all the an
nails of the state, has been so de-
nounced as the junior senator is in
these resolutions. Were not the man
so stepped in his own shame, did he
but have any conscience or pride al
all, he could not calmly endure the
contumely and the contempt which the
| people of his own state are every day
| evincing for him. He would resign
the office lie has abused and fsrevl
hide himself irons public view.

MANY WAYS TO HELP.

There is something for each of Us
to do
At time like the present, there is
plenty of work to go groundwork for
each man, woman and child-work
that will aid the government and has
ten peace.
A war garden, even one attended by
a child, is a patriotic labor. Every
extra ounce of foodstuffs is just so
much ammunition.
The saving for thrift stamps is a
splendid purpose in which to enga &c.
But saving doesn't mean that you
should take your extra money-it
means a sacrifice! only in that way
will you save.
The Investment in Liberty Bonds,
the making of both ends meet in the
matter of food and clothes, the elm
nation Of petty extravagances, all
of these will contribute very mate
rally.
No matter how old the man or wo.
man or woman, nor how young, there
is something each of them may do to
help the country in it's fight against
Prussian despotism. Look about you
if you are not already engaged, and
ind you task for the conservation
of your labor and your loyalty.

THE PEOPLE ARE NOE FOOLED

lugubrious over the senatorial out
look.
In the first place, we have confidence
in the people of Georgia, confidence
enough in their intelligence, as we'll
as their patriotism, to feel assured
that they will not return the disloyal
junior senator back to the Senate.
Naturally, there is a general desire
to elect the man most fitted for the
office, the man whose official stay in
Washington will rebound most adj
vantageously to the state of Georgia.
In time-there are yet five months
before the election-we believe that
the intelligent opinion of the people
will crystalline and concentrate in ia
vor of one man, predominant above all
others.
For that matter, the sentiment is
now very nearly that way. With Har-
ris clubs organized in ninety-three
counties, it would appear that the
people are already in one frame Of
mind, about electing the junior sena
tors successor.
OF course, there is general deter
mination to politically exterminate the
political excresence who now fills the
place, and the people have sense
enough to centra1ize on one particular
candidate as the best means Of most
certainly concentrating that achieve
ment.
William J. Harris has proven his in
f1uence in Washington and has dem
onstrated his ability to hold down bg
Offices. AS chairman of the federal
trade commission, he is really one of
the biggest figures in the country and
daily attends to tremendous amount
of work of the most important and
most delicate character. Previously,
as director OF the census, his work
was so conspicuous by reason of it's
efficiency that he earned the larger
promotion from the president, Mr.
Harris is the presidents close friend
and is in a position in Washington to
aove things in Georga's behalf.
These facts have commended him tol
he people of Georgia with such force
hat it was logical for him to be select
d as the man most peculiarly equipped
o make the race at this time.
The entry of ha1f-dozen other can
idates of the 1ninnow size also serves
Q cause some slight confusion for 81
REF time. Each candidate, az hei
ives into the pond, hollers so Justify
n hfs own behalf that he attracts
empofary attention. but public gaze
fixed nevertheless on the one man
no has the edge on all of the other
either present or prospect
re, by having a campaign already or
anfzed and in progress.
Tia Times Recorder, along with the
reat majority of the other newspapers
{ Georgia, is convinced that w !.
arris is the one man TO be pdted
gainst the Junior senator. and the |

w. B. HOFFA MADE CHAIR
MAN THIS DISTRICT
WHICH is COMPOSED OF
GRENADA, YALOBUSHA
AND MON COM cry
COUNTIES.

Last Saturday afternoon at 200
o'clock, at the opera house in Grena
da, there was an assembling of &
majority of the forces for the 18th
district Y. M. c. A. and Y. w. c. A
war drive. The district is composed
of the counties of Grenada, Yalo-
busha, and Montgomery. Mr.. W.
B.. Moffa was some days ago made
chairman for the district.
Rev. Geo. D. Boothe, chaplain at
Camp Shelby, and Prof. Mcmillan
and wife of Hattiesburg, wrere pres
ent as state representative to out
line what it was proposed to do and
to run over briefly some of the
hundreds of good things that were
being done with Y. M. C. A. money.
Mr.. Hoffa called the meeting to
order and introduced Mr.. Boothe.
Mr.. Boothe is a Presbyterian minis
ter and was pastor of church in
Laurel when he undertook his pres
ent work. He gave a very clear and
succinct outline of what is expected
to be done in the comir G drive. He
stated that there would be seven
different activities in the big drive.
They are: Y. M. C. A., the Y. w. C.
A., War Community Service,
Knights of Columbus, American Lii
brary Association, Jewish Relief
Fund and the Salvation Army. Mr..
Mcmillan also made a very excellent
talk that was full of fire and the
spirit of accomplishment. Mrs.
Mcmillan discussed most satisfactory
ly the Y. w. c. A. work and left no
doubt in the minds of her hearers
about what this particular work
to the soldiers. -.-..
The assessment for Grenada cOun-
ty has not yet been made. But The
Sentinel feels sure that there will be
that same spirit of patriotism shown
in this as in all ther demands made
by the Government.
A representative audience of the
colored citizenship was present at
the meeting. The speakers expressed
pleasure at seeing them there and
special comment was made on the CO.
operation and patriotism of the col
ored people.

the notice which appears elsewhere
in The Sentinel over the signatures
of the Grenada Automobile concerns
wherein they state that on and after
October /, they will sell no automo-
bile fixtures, ETC., or do any work
without the MONEY ON THE SPOT.
The difficulty of getting materials
and the scarcity of labor as well as
high prices make this necessary. The
public, of course, realizes the situa-
ton and automobile owners are ex-
pected to readily cooperate.
No automobile concerns in Grena-
da will sell anything in the way of
automobile fixtures, ETC., after Oct.
