PRICES AND THEIR REMEDIES.

The price problem is put with admir-
able simplicity and clearness in an
editorial in the Saturday Evening Post.
There isn't any economic mystery
about high prices. AS The Post writer
sees it. here's the situation in a nut
shell: Prices have been rising be-
cause war tends to lessen the supply
of goods and services, and at the same
time increases the demand for goods
and services" When the commodities
and labor are scarcer than usual. and
both are wanted in greater quantities
than usual, of course, prices jump.
But how about the remedy? Tie
current idea is that the prices can be
kept down by government regulation.
The Post has little faith in any such
process. It suggests a clear and sim

HON CLIFFORD WALKER.

Americas is fortunate in having Hon.
Clifford Walker for its Memorial Day
orator. There are few more charming
public speakers in the state, and nore
more popular. The demand upon the
time of Mr.. Walker is so great that he
is giving every possible day to these
patriotic addresses that he can spare
from his Office of attorney general
This city feels a special interest in
Nj. Walker, because of the prominence
in the community of his close kin, and
for the reason that he is a frequent
visitor here.
As one of the states leading men, II
is an honor to us for him to be the
guest Of the city, and a pleasure and a
privilege for Americas to have him.

POTATRIOTS.

Some Jealous war worker has COIN
ed the word 'potatriot' To any one
familiar with current food conserve
ton propaganda it's hardly necessary
to explain that the term means "po-
tato patriot" And if there is any
reader who doesn't know what that
particular sort of patriot is, he is going
to find out in about two seconds.
A potato patriot is man or woman
who eats all the potatoes that he Or
she can comfortably hold, and makes
steady practice of it. There may
have been times when such conduct
would imply gluttony. But now it
means loyal service to ones country.
There are two reasons. One is that
by eating potatoes, which are plenti-
full, we can save wheat and sugar,
which are scarce. Thus we can help
our allies to avoid starvation till the
next harvest. We can't send our al
lies the potatoes, because they're too
bulky, and they won't stand shipping
at this season. The other reason is
that by eating more potatoes we en-
courage the farmers to raise big
crop again this year. The surplus LETT
over from last years crop has made
potatoes absurdly cheap, considering
their high food value. Old potatoes
will get cheaper right along now I'M
less the demand increases. Any any
further slump in prices will deter far
mers from planting potatoes.
Either reason alone is sufficient. Be
a potatriot.

A SWARM OF CHATS.

This senatorial race would oe
amusing, if it were not so serious.
1t does appear, though, that num-
Der of Georgia office-seekers are trying
their best to burlesque the affair and
make it ridiculous before the peo-
pie
With Schley Howard and Emmett
Shaw, and Bunk Cooper, and Hub
Dean, and Bill Burwell all running,
and Willie Upshaw out of the running,
there is really a comical aspect to the
situation.
Everybody realizes, especially since
he made a fiasco in his speech at Car
rollton last Saturday, that the pro-
German junior senator cannot posi-
bly, be reelected, and that has had the
effect of bringing out a swarm If
gnats.
It's little too early for gnats to
swarm, but it must be remembered
that this is an unusual year, and, be-
sides, we have precocious political
campaign.
The people will, to be sure, brush
aside these little fellows, who fit
before the eyes for a moment and
then disappear forever, but that is not
going to keep them from buzzing rs
long and as loud as their feeble wings
will permit
In the meantime, when the people
have had their laugh, they will go
about their business quite seriously
said business being that of consigning
the present junior senator to political
oblivion-and in doing so they will also
elect William J. Harris to take his
place and represent the state of Geor-
gia, like it ought to be represented,
in the United States senate.

lie corrective" as follows:

pie corrective" as follows:
Increase the supply of goods and
services by greater exertion, and de
crease the demand by ceasing to buy
end consume things you can get along
very well without" In other words,
it proposes the simple old virtues OF
diligence and economy"
And isn't that the true solution
Price-fixing by public authority can
help a little. 1t is useful in certain
cases. But in general, whatever con-
troll of prices is possible rests with
the public itself.
Work more and consume less. IT
isn't so easy as asking the govern
ment to perform miracles, but it's
more effective. And it's in harmony
with the spirit of the war. It's the
way the civilian can do his fighting.

Heal Skin Diseases

It is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
S1.O0 for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching. torture. 1t cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating, dis.
appearing liquid and is soothing TO the
most delicate skin. It is not greasy is
easily applied and costs little. Get it
today and save all further distress.

THE WAR NEWS.

Can the war news be trusted?' is
question often asked nowadays by
newspaper readers. And the answer
is, ut can" Now and then an over
Jealous or over-worked editor may
write a headline that doesn't convey
the precise truth regarding a victory
or defeat. But even in such cases, the
reader may expect to find the real sit
uation presented candidly and accu-
rately if he reads through the war dis
patches under the headline.
1t was not always so. Correspond
ents invariably seek to learn and write
the truth But in the early days of
the war it was very hard for them 70
get at the facts, because the military
authorities put obstacles in their way
The authorities learned better, how
ever, and that difficulty has vanished.
Before battle begins, writes one
of the war reporters in France, 'the
correspondents are taken into the con-
fidence of the army. They are called
into conference with high officers, who
tell them exactly what is going to be
attempted, what troops will be engaged
and what detectives Will be sought. 1t
is probable that on the night before a
big offensive the correspondents know
more about the operation planned as
a whole, than do many of the brigade
commanders And as the battle pro-
ceeds, the correspondents are likewise
! kept informed They are seldom per-
mitted to send home all they know, or
quarter of what they know, about
the situation But what they do send
I is trustworthy
This confidential procedure is posi-
| BILE as the writer explains, because
none of the correspondents violate the
faith placed in them. No group of men
in the world is more fully trusted, or
has proven more worthy of the trust

SCARED AND RATIFIED.

to be absolutely no limit to the con-
summate gall, the overwhelming ego
ism, and the downright incidence Of
the junior senator from Georgia.
Challenged to joint debate by sew
eral gentlemen who aspire to the Of
flee Of senator, the Junior senator alb
solutely, fatty and coldly lays down
on the proposition.
He declines to meet them in open,
public discussion.
He turn tail and runs, like the ar
rant coward he really is.
In his letter of reply to the chal-
lcnge, he says:
Il am a great believer in joint
discussion of public issues before
the people, and nothing will afford
me greater pleasure in this cam
paign than to meet my opponents,
one and all, in debate if the
terms of that debate can be fair
ly arranged and the debate itself
upon a high and honorable plane,
which is due to the great Office |
hold, and to which you aspire, and
which a proper respect for the
peace and good order of our state
would require.
Of course it is not possible for
me to engage in a debate with any
man who challenges my motives or
questions my integrity or patriot
ism.
There is only one leading issue in
this campaign, and the junior sena-
tor knows it better than anybody else.
The issue is Patriotism versus Dis
loyalty, and the junior senator IS
charged with being disloyal, the accu-
sation being brought by more than a
hundred thousand Georgians, and by
more than one hundred and seventy
five newspapers
Therefore, to declare that he will not
debate with any one who Challenges
bis motive or questions his integrity
and patriotism" were cowardice of the
odor.
Such impulence has never been wit
messed in Georgia. politics before!
The idea of the junior senator from
this state, whose every official act for
months has smacked strongly of the
pro-German faint and whose every at
titude on every public question has
been wide-open to suspicion, the idea
of this little tom-tit trying to array
himself in the plumage of an eagle,
proclaiming in a high and lordly man
ner that he will not meet any one in
debate who impunges his patriotism.
AS a matter of fact the gentleman
is scared, and badly scared. He knows
he is trapped. He knows he is under
stood by the people He knows he is
cornered. He knows that his doom is
sealed, so far as ever holding another
political office in this state
We even daresay that after the elc-
ton, so bitter and intense will be the
feeling of resentment against this man
for having betrayed his state that he
will be forced to go elsewhere to make
living. We would suggest New YORK,
where live those great corporate in
terests to which he has always meen
so friendly, and which, in all fairness
AID appreciation, ought to contribute
to his campaign
He refers to "the great office he now
holds" and insists upon proper re-
spect' beilng shown Pity tbs that he
has realized so late that it really is a
great office, and more's the pity still
that he has failed ito show any respect
for it whatsoever.
The truth is, the junior senator is
not only badly scared, but he is also
badly ratified.
