HE HASN'T THE COURAGE.

W. J. Harris has resigned the chair
manship of one of the most important
bodies of the country, namely, the,
Craftsmanship of the great federal
trade commission, because he believes
he can render his state a patriotic SER
vice in offering himself as the instru-,
ment with which to defeat and repud-,
late Senator Hardwick.
William S. Howard, of Atlanta, the
Atlanta candidate, whose candidacy is
supported chiefly by Atlanta profess
ional politicians and profteering con-
tractors, still holds on to his rere-
sentative's place He, apparently, has
neither the courage nor the sincerity
to publish his correspondence with
President Wilson, in which he is re-
buked for disappearing facts about
the presidents pocition in the Georgia
senatorial race.
Howard, so far as his limited ability
enables him, is grandstand performer.
four-fusher, a compound of conceit,
demagogue, and political blather-
skite. We admit it's somewhat early
in the campaign to indulge in adjec-
tives, but the spectacle of man like
Howard making the race for the Unit
ed States Senate is sufficient to pro-
woke few expressions of disgust.
There were comparatively few peo-
pie outside of his own district who
knew Howard at all Now they know
him entirely too well for his own good.
They know him as one who employed
downright deceit in his dealings with
the president of the United States
and no man who does that can expect
much consideration from the good citi-
zens of Georgia.
Howard betrayed his weakness when
he asked for leave of absence. in
stead of resigning, as Harris has done.
He showed his weakness then, and
every act of his since then has DEM
onstrated him to be weaker still.

The Issue Made Plain.

Several significant happenings have
marked the progress of the Georgia
senatorial campaign during the la t
few days. Among them is the expo
sure by the Macon Telegraph of du-
plicity and attempted deception of the
epople of Georgia by Congressman
Howard. The congressman attempted
to make the people believe that Pres
ident Wilson and the administration
looked with as much favor upon his
candidacy as it did upon the candidacy
of Hon. VIM. J. Harris, who had been
in the race several months. The Tele
graph proved this was false repre-
sentation and Congressman Howard has
admitted that the President preferre |
Mr.. Harris, and urged him not to ru,
1t should be remembered that
issue was brought into the campaign
by Mr.. Howard and his press agents
Both President Wilson and Mr.. Har-
ris observed the proprieties, indeed
the niceties of the occasion. 1t was
Mr.. Howard who brought up the ques-
ton, and tried to put over" some
thing, and who got caught.
But the issue having been raised and
the Presidents attitude having been
made lain there would appear to be but
one course for loyal Georgia demo-
Gratis to follow and that is to sustain
the administration and carry out its
wishes by voting for MIR. Harris.
There is no getting away from the
fact that vote for Howard or Dean
is vote against the administration,
just the same as vote for Hardwick
is vote against the president. In or
binary times this might nto be a mat
ter of much imortance, but just now
america is at war Georgia must
stand by the President and help win
the war.-Rome Tribune Tribune.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Secretary Bakers confidential Sec
rotary has resigned his job to join

ton. He expects to enter the enter

1t seems wasteful. on first thought.
A good secretary for a man in big,
responsible position is beyond price.
Good soldier stun is common And
vet. broadly speaking, such a man may
really serve his country better in the
army. Even though he should never
rise beyond She rank of private. even
though his life should be snuffed out
early in the game. he has set an ex-
ample that is worth the sacrifice.
There hasn't been a great deal of
Sinking in this country, but there has
been too much. Washington espe-
cially is full of able-bodied young
men who have sought safe govern
ment berths in order to dodge the
draft. Their particular services may
not be needed at the front, but they
represent spirit and viewpoint that
ought to be discouraged. There ought
to be no lodging anywhere in the
country And the war work at Wash
ington would be better done than it is
if every eligible man there were,
straining at the leash to get to the
front instead of so many congratu-
lating themselves on their, comfort

GEORGIA GOES DRY.

No surprise is occasioned by jack
sonvilIe voting a prohibition ticket
The vote was hardly close, the
"drys" winning by more than 1,100
votes and carrying every precinct in
the country. with nine Of the eleven
city precincts The election was the
climax of an intensely bitter cam
paign.
For more than a year Jacksonville
has been the whisky distribution CEN
ter for several Southern states, sen
ing in particular an enormous stream
of liquor into Georgia. The dealer
there very frankly stated that II
sales to Georgia were larger than dur
ing the period when there were no re-
strictions on the traffic.
The nearest "oases" to Georgia now
are New Orleans, Louisville. Cincin-
natl and Baltimore, but the difficulty
and expense of bringing contraband
liquor from those points will make the
handling of it quite limited, and the
prices prohibitive.
Prohibition is marching on to vic
tory the world, and the closing of Jack
sonville is merely an incident in the
progress of the movement. 1t is of
interest and Importance to Georgia,
however, for it means that for the
first nc since this state decla' ed foe
rohibiticn it will have an opnol tun-
oty to give prohibition an honest,
thorough tral Heretofore, ia kson-
vile las been the tole in the ,;yke,
and there was no chance for Georgia to
be a normal prohibition state so long
as thousands of gallons of intoxicants
crossed the Florida line every month.
Not even the cooperation of the fed
eral officials could altogether prevent
the traffic. But now Georgia will have
a fair opportunity to practice prohi-
bition as well as preach it. 1t is going
to be fact, rather than theory-and
glad will be the hearts of many women
and children, and richer will be the
pockets of many men.

FLAG AND ANTHEM
DEMAND RESPECT
State Council of Defence Takes
Notice Of Slovenlincss of Citi-
zcns Toward Emblem
and Hymn.

More sincere and more extensive dis
play by the general public of respect and
reverence for the national flag and anthem
is being urged by the State Council of
Defense through its chairman, David
Sncllenburg.
Attention is called TO the fact that on
many OCCASIONS, when mixed audiences
are assembled, il has often been noticed
that people will file out of building or
away from an out-of-doors celebration
while 'Thc Star Spanglod Banner" is being
played or sung IL is pointed out that
TO show proper respect an audience should
remain at attention until the rendition of
the anthem is finished, before moving
away from tho scene. This siovenlness
IN more widespread than is generally re-
allied.
Another instance when many persons
fail to show proper respect for the flag
has been noted when various parades
have been held in this city and other parts
of the State When the flag passes in
parade. the least those assembled to wit
ness it can do, II they are real American
men, is 10 uncover their beads, and If
women, to stand at attention.
In this connection, Elliott Dunlap
Smith, a member of the State Councils
Section of the Council of National De
fense, who addressed the recent win
the-war conference in this city, has writ
ten to Mr. Snellcnburg concerning n CON
versation thev had on the day of the con-
ference on the subject of the education Of

IN regard to the national anthem In thu
letter Mr.. Smith calls Mr.. Sncllenburg's
attention to n resolution adopted by the
Woman's Committee Of the Council ol
National Defense, ms follows:
Whereas, IL is fitting that civilians af
well as soldiers and sailors should adopt
some uniform and appropriate manner OF
expressing their allegiance 10 their flag
when it is displayed, and Their respect
for the national anthem il when il played in
their presence; therefore, bc il
Resolved, Tint the Woman Commit
tee of the Council OF National Defense

suggestion is that Sunday afternoon

place and at this mecring have
