SPIRIT OF THE LAW

A closed up town last Monday in
Cordele for the purpose Of saving
fuel, to us, seemed one of the most
foolish Of moves, but we waited to say
it because at the time we might have
been termed unpatriOtic. There wasn't
the slightest bit of excuse for a closed
business community ON an order
which was issued for the purpose Of
conserving fuel
Many a place and even many resi-
dence went without a bit of fire for
heating the houses because there was
no need of heat. 1t could not have
been beaten for a mild January day
To hold places of business closed was
out Of the bounds of reason. Nothing
was saved and the ;own lost a good
day for business. the like of which
has not been offered by the weather
man in many day.
The Dispatch is committed to an
open town next Monday and the next
+ there is no need of fuel A warm
Monday can be devoted readily to
'egular business withou; violating the
spirit or the letter of the law. The
point was to conserve fuel and many
community in the south before the
order has elapsed will be going with
out fire, for they will not need it. Il
will net be necessary to continue
closed, and it will not even be OK
pected
Our merchants and business houses
and even our places of amusement
should be prepared to continue with
business as usual, unless the govern
ment has further direction TO give.
The fuel administration has no juris-
dictiOl, and wants none, over any
thing but the fuel supply and where
there is no fuel coming into the days

n manifestation of patriotism and
'ull compliance with the law, but both
can be had and still a day for business

fall in line and help say the thing has
been well done 1t is also time to
say, lest we forget, the president was
right once more.
We are going to bump into reyerses
in some cases. 1t is very certain that
that we will be the most fortunate
people in all history If we do not gee
into trouble in such a conflict as that
we are entering with Germany, but
we are not going to stay in trouble
and the American army and its pre-
paration will amply justify the state
ment as it is being made.
This country is moving things with
tremendous pressure in preparation
for war and Secretary Baker is right
there on the job. Some of the others
are there, too. No need of complain
ing yet. Wat till some serious break
comes to show we are weak Then
we will believe it,
