PROVE OUR PATRIOTISM!

The coming of Rev Ashby Jones, OF
Atlanta. to Americas next Tuesday
under the auspices of the Council OF
Defense. is an event of importance
TO the people of the county
No matter what the occasion, it is
worth while to hear DR.. Jones, who
is one of the most eloquent speakers
the South has produced in many years.
At this time, it is doubly important to
hear him. He is going to tell the
people OF the county some facts about
the critical state of the times that they
ought to know He is going to coop
crate to his utmost with the local
Council of Defense in its effort to
arouse the people to greater patriotic
depths. The imperative necessity for
buying Liberty bonds ad war savings
stamps and for observing food conser-
walton and the various other patriotic
movements will be demonstrated as
forcefully as words will permit
Every public official, every teacher,
every mother every club woman, ev
cry man who wants to do his share in
this tremendous crisis, every person
who is loyal, whether old or young,
should be at this meeting, and should
testify to their earnestness by their
presence. 1t is tribute of respect to
which DR.. Jones is entitled, and it is
in keeping with the purpose of the
meeting.
To be perfectly candid, the word
has been disseminated about the state
that Americas has not shown its 10y
atty, and if this meeting not a sue
cess in point of attendance there will
be even further basis for the stigma.
Americas is patriotic, Americas is de-
termined to stand shoulder to shout
der with the other loyal people of the
state, and the fact should be i'm
pressively demonstrated Tuesday af-
ternoon.

FLYING FISHES.

Everybody has seen a flying fish.
Sometimes when it can catch its prey
by swiftly and momentarily Ieaping
cut of the water, it does so. Again
it will emerge and be visible for a sec
ond, leaving its native element for no
apparent reason whatever.
the political sea there are also.
and always. flying fish. Whenever a
bait may be seen above the surface,
flock of flying fish will frequent the
vicinity, One by one, sometimes two
or three at a time, they will flash
in the open, and then disappear as
swiftly into the obscurity and into the
murky depths from which they came.
They are attracted by the bait, which
IS ever too far beyond their reach, too
big for them to seize; but they make
one feeble, Pickering nibble.
These flying fish are among the
smaller denizens of the deep and in
the political sea they are in the min
now class. They are harmless, they
are numerous, and they are interesting
only as curious phenomena. 1t fur
rishes a little amusing sport to see
them fit in the open for a second
but when the big fish, the sure enough
big-finned boys, ppear on the scene,
these little fellows are lost to sight
They dive still deeper, for safety
So in this senatorial race, as in
nearly all campaigns for all public of
fees, there are-or have been-a few
flying fish. Short-lived in their ca
reer, and now that the whale of the
candidate, in the person of w. J. Har-
ris, is swimming serenely on a placid
surface, with the current running
strong in his direction, the breezes fav-
orable. and the skies blue, these flying
fish pale into insignifcance and are
forgotten. They have had their brief
second, and must make room for those
who by reason of size and strength
naturally command space and atten-
ton

TRUE CITIZENSHIP.

Much as we dislike to admit it, there
still exists a distinct apathy toward
the war on the part of a great many
people in various parts of the country
The reason for this is even deeper than
constitutional pacifsm or pro-Ger-
manism based upon explainable blood
or mental association The fact is.
although we did not realize it until
recently, the average citizen of this
country has not had instilled in him
real responsibility in and to his gov
eminent. The extreme development of
the democratic idea in America and
the ultra-political nature of our form
of government has resulted in the al
most total disappearance of the appre-
citation by the individual of what the
government means to him.
The changing of this condition is
possibly the most serious problem fac
ing the United States today, outside
of winning the war. 1t involves a com
piete readjustment and revitalizing of
our methods of civic instruction This
work must start in the schools of the
lowest grade Many men who have
had the advantage of collegiate in
struction in political economy, and
even the influence of the discussion of
these matters in high school debating
societies, appreciate the problem. It
must be remembered, however, that
by far the greater majority of boys
who later make up the citizenry of the
Eation leave school after passing
through only the most elementary
grades
The National Security League, or
gani2ed at the start of the war as a
preparedness propaganda and now de-
voting its entire efforts to the awaken
ing of the people to a realization of
TIE meanings of war and the menace
of defeat, has undertaken a nation
wide campaign on this question of
true citizenship which is worthy OF
attention and support 1t has enlist
ed the cooperation of state, county
and city superintendent of school in
all parts of the country to make daily
instruction on the war part of actual
school tuition. The league has also
obtained the release to it on full pay
by the boards of trustees of a num-
Der of the largest colleges and uni
versities in the country of a corps of
professors who are to constitute a
National Patriotic Education FacuI-
ty" to carry on this work in the broad
er field. These men will create a sort
of peripatetic university, journeying
personally into all parts of the coun-

NEED FOR FIRING SQUAD.

1t must have occurred to a great
many people, in reading the newspaper
accounts of the lenient method adopt
ed by the government authorities in
dealing with the spy question, that the
plying of this trade by a German or
German sympathizer is far safer than
service in the army of the Kaiser.
The most serious penalty imposed
so far has been against an officer OF
the United States army who volun-
tarily announced that he could not do
Justice to himself or his men in lead
ing them against his relatives and
friends fighting on the German side
A man who is convicted of being a
leader in the spy plots against Ameri-
can lives and property is given a
prison sentence less than that usual,
" meted out to an embezzling clerk.
Other men, engaged in subterranean
efforts which might result in the kills
ing of more American boys than could
be accomplished by an entire German
regiment are pleasantly interned in
quarters where they are provided with
creature comforts unknown to the
young men who are UNFOLDING the
Stars and Stripes in No Mans Land.
The reason for this state of affairs
is hard to appreciate The country is
at war and war is not civil" matter.
A man who conspires to place bomb
in an American troop-ship or a vessel
carrying much needed supplies to our
Allies is warning against this country
as much (eVen more, we believe) as
the private or officer in the German
ranks who is exposed to American
bullets Why, then, should We treat
these vipers as offenders against the
civil law? Let's order out the firing
