The recommending Of men for i'm

so1ernment's plan to use thousands
who ale moi FULLY qualified for mil

they viii be given employment in the
lines in which they are best qualified

be carrying out its plan to release
many physically qualified men for
army service, while at the same time

NO TIME FOR Y.FIFTY.

So seldom do We agree with Mr..
Roosevelt that it is a genuine pleas
ure to occasionally applaud some OF
his sentiments. The ex-president says
many patriotic things, but he also
emits great deal of spiteful criticism,
calculated to do more harm than good.
However, here is one of his utter
ances, which is impressive, because OF
its impelling truth:
IF we do not win now, fighting
abroad beside our allies, then sooner
or later our sons and grandsons
will have to fight here at home.
without allies, for their homes,
their wives, and their little ones.
mo man can serve two masters
in this country at this time. There
can be no such thing as fifty-fifty
allegiance here. If the man is not
should be sent out of this coun-
try If he plays the part of sedi-
ton in this country, he should be
shot. But if he is just neutral,
then let him get out to some neu-
trail country"
Mr. Roosevelt is certainly on the
correct course now. He is absolutely
right when he says there can be no
halfway measures A man is either
for his country now, heart and soul, for
all he is worth, or he is against it. Ii
lie is for it, there is no sacrifice too
great for him to make If his oppo-
sition tends to have a seditious effect.
then he is a malcontent whose conduct
is akin to treason, and traitors fate
should be his, bright and early.
There is no longer any argument
about sending our soldiers abroad.
Any man with common sense must
realize that if the Germans cannot be
beaten by the combined armies of the
world, on ground specially prepared
for battle, then they could not be de-
feated here by simply one nation with
its resources depleted It is in
France that the fate of the world will
be decided, and is even now in the
balance, and it is there that we must
fight.

JUDGE COBB's SPEECH.

Men like Judge Andrew ]. Cobb do
not lose themselves in heat of pol
itical passion There is no man in
Georgia who is more deliberate, more
calm and conservative, in his judg-
ment than Judge Cobb An ex-justice
OF the supreme court, trained
thinker, a close follower and student
of public affairs. he is peculiarly and
exceptionally fitted to pass upon men
and matters; and what he says, there
fore, about the junior senator from this
state, whom he has denounced in I'M
bridled terms, must carry great weight
with the people of Georgia.
No more trenchant idea could have
been suggested than his reference to
the old English custom of marching es-
pecially notorious culprits through the
countryside, fogging them at every
step. OF course, it is not feasible to
apply that drastic process in this day
and time, but it may be done in kind
red measure, nevertheless. If the
Junior senator is overwhelmingly re-
pudiated at the polls on the second
Wednesday in September, every citizen
using his ballot as fogging instru-
ment, he will be as severely castigated
as was ever a criminal in old Eng
land. 1t will be political flogging
more violent than that ever admins
tered to any public officer in this state.
The espousal CT the candidacy of
William j. Harris by Judge Cobb is a
fine compliment to Mr.. Harris, and is
a powerful indication of the way
popular sentiment and the better
thought in Georgia are inclined.

A FIGHT TO THE FINISH.

Germany can no longer mistake the
meaning of the United States.
That nation, and all the world be-
sides, has been put on definite notice
that this country is in the war to the
bitter end, and is going to fight like all
fury itself until the Prussian menace
is wiped from the face of the earth.
Force" was the theme of president
Wilson's magnificent address in Balti-
more, and in taking this unequiyocal
position he echoed the sentiments of
the American people. who more and
more are lining UP squarely behind
their great leader Germany now
kBows that the United States will no
longer entertain any peace proposition,
but is determined to fight out the is
sue, settling the score for all time
with blood and iron.
Until now Germany has pretended
to pooh-pooh the Importance of the
United States as an enemy, but new
ertheIess the time is rapidly coming
when even the people of that detesta-
ble nation will awake to the fact that
their government and their scheme Of
conquest and their autocratic war lords
can never triumph until America has
been humbled in the dust. And that
day will never be!
The president having declared the
purpose of the United States so force
fully and absolutely, it is now the
solemn duty Of all of the people OF
this country to exert their every en-
ergy in the direction of producing just
as much force as it is possible to
create with which to combat the Ger
man plan of aggression

SEVEN LONG, LONG YEARS!

| According to a news story in the
New York World, the town of Mill
wood. N. J., has been childless for
seven years In that time not single
baby has been born in the community.
Can you imagine city, village. or
community, that has not known the
cooling, and the crying, of wee baby
in seven years?
Can you imagine any place where
Rock-a-Bye Baby, has not been sung
in seven long years?
In all that time, there has been no
whispered condolences between wife
and husband, no secret working on
dainty lingerie, no fond anticipations,
no anxious apprehension of a fateful
day There has been no cuddling of a
tiny, little helpless mass of humanity.
Not a lullaby has been sung over 3
cradle, gently rocking. Not prayer
has been breathed while a little one
slept No fond parents have stood be-
side and admired the angelic counte
nance of one in whom all their tender
est hopes were conferred. Not single
babe has been taught to say the sweet
est word in any language 'Mother!"
Not a child has awakened at the first
light of dawn and clambered over into
the big bed to put its little arms
around mother. Not child has heard
the wonderful story of Santa Claus
and arisen early on Christmas morn
| t. hasten into the sitting room and
eagerly take down the stockings over
flowing with good things. Not a boy
nor a girl has accepted the legend OF
Bunny and Easter and sought in the
hooks and corners for the vari-colered
eggs, neatly tucked in carefully ar
ranged nests-nests arranged the night
before by doting parents, while the lit
tie ones dreamed of the day to come.
Not a boy has come running to
mother, crying because his big toe
was stumped and bleeding Not a girl
has come crying because she had
dropped her dolly and broken it. In
all that time, not a parent has stood
il the doorway at dinner time and
looked longingly down the street for
the appearance OF the family pride,
lhurrying from school In seven years,
lot lad has thrown his arms around
daddy's neck and begged for the rod
10 be spared, not a girl has sobbed on
her mothers bosom and promised not
tc disobey again. In that long, long
time not baby's shoe. nor a hair rib
bon, nor a small jacket has been gent
ly laid away at the bttom of a trunk,
while soft tears dropped and heart
pGlsated in silent anguish.
That there is such place in all
these United States, we can hardly
believe. We are sorry. deeply sorry.

Dual Character In Men.

Most men are two characters under

man is crusty, exacting and may even
be repellent. His other self Is the
warm, true soul that longs for love and
shows up best with a few chosen

"Watch the Weather Forecast

Shippers of food and other products
liable to injury from freezing are urged
to watch the daily forecasts. issued by
Weather Bureau station during the
winter in cities and towns of consider
able size, of minimum temperatures ex-
pected TO occur within shipping radius
of one day or two days of the station.
These forecasts may be had by tele-
phoning or telegraphing the Weather
Bureau office, or arrangements may be
made in advance to have them sent as
desired. When freezing temperatures
are forecast, shipments may be given
adequate protection or delayed until
conditions change, or if they are en-
route orders may be telegraphed to
have them placed in shelter. Expert
ence of large produce-shipping firms,
as given in their voluntary testimony,
is that as a result of careful attention
to these forecasts their losses from
freezing of goods in transit have been
negligible. The Importance of this SER
vice is thought to be especially great
during the war, with its food necessity.
