LET THE COURTS DECIDE.

In Atlanta this week a man and a
woman, the latter of whom has been
prominent in social, church, philan-
thropic and patriotic affairs, will be
placed on trial on the charge of hav-
ing attempted to blackmail a very
prominent and wealthy citizen.
For this citizen there has been a
great expression of sympathy The
public has been loath to believe him
guilty. They have preferred to think
that he is really victim of a black,
mail scheme.
Probably he is. The evidence per-
mitted the public really suggests that
frame-up was perpetrated upon him.
Still, the public does not know all
of the facts, and the newspapers are
not the place to try the case.
For that reason we contend that
the public should not arrive at any
verdict, but should await the court
proceedings, which will establish the
truth.
Mayor Gambler is a good man, who
has done much good in the world, and
who occupies high place in the es-
TEEN of the people of Atlanta and of
Georgia. 1t is difficult to conceive
that he should be the sort of man his
accusers try to make him out to be.
He has our genuine sympathy, and
we honestly hope that the trial this
week will vindicate him
However, The Times Recorder, un-
familiar as it necessarily is with the
real facts, cannot express a positive
opinion, and we think that those
newspapers that have done so have
gone far out of their way. When all
is said and done, the persons under
Indictment are entitled to fair treat
ment, and they naturally cannot have
that if the newspapers seek to form
prejudice against them.
We have never been in favor Of
trial by newspapers, preferring to
think that the courts should be trust
ed entirely with that detail.

GEORGIA'S GRAIN RECORD.

The farmers of Georgia must speed
up their grain production, not only for
the sake of feeding themselves, but
that there may be greater supply
for the nation.
Georgia planters have fallen behind
III their grain production. Last year
the corn crop was the largest on re-
cord, amounting to 100000 bushels,
eight million more than the big crop
OF 1915; But only two millions of
bushels of wheat were gathered, Just
little more than one-half of the
wheat production of the previous
year The oat crop was ten million
bushels, whereas in 1916 the crop was
nearly seventeen million and in 1915
almost eighteen million bushels. The
rice crop was smaller than that OF
1913 and the same size as that of 1912,
being $4,000 bushels. The rye pro,
duction was 128,OOO bushels, slightly
above the average for the preceding
five years.
Georgia farmers must raise more
feedstuffs, and particularly must they
produce more grain. They have the
soil and the climate, and they know
how. They really ought to be asham-
ed Of their record They have been
too willing to feed upon the labors of
others, instead of feeding themselves.

A COLUMN OF CLIPPINGS
GIVE THIS GEORGIAN
THE "STLENT TREATMENT

From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun
On the morning of February Is the
Enquirer-sun contained the follow
ing, more in the way of suggestion
than otherwise: why not give a
certain candidate for the United
States senate from Georgia the silent
treatment? Let him blow his own
horn while you pull for your man.
The Americas Recorder
makes the paragraph the subject of
an editorial Of some length in which
it endorses the suggestion so fully
that it declares that henceforth the
Georgian we had in mind when we
wrote the paragraph quoted above
shall be nameless evermore in the
editorial columns of that paper
It is true to say that we have not
read the remarkable" story by Irwin
Cobb, 70 which the Amerious Times
Recorder refers, 1t is true that we
he1 8 friend who had read it
.aIEing about it, ana it recalled a
suggestion made BY the writer in the
editorial columns OF the Enquirer,
Sun as early as the latter part Of
1905 or early in 1909.
It will be recalled that. in the pres
idengiaI election of 1908 a certain well
known democrat met his third defeat
for the presidency, following which
there was considerable discussion
among leading newspapers and men
OF the country Of means by which the
people might be rid of this three
times defeated candidate.
We recall that we suggested then
that if the newspapers of the country
really wished to get rid of him as
political factor the best way for them
to do it was to refuse to publish any
thing about; to refuse to mention his
name in their columns, and that soon
he would be forgotten.
OF course the suggestion was not
adopted, but it was discussed by sew
eral of the leading editorial writers
of that day, the consensus of opinion
expressed being that such silent
treatment" would certainly have it's
effect
We make this statement for no 9TH
er reason than tN make it clear that
We did not steal Irwin Cobb's thun-
der in making the suggestion in ref
erence to the Georgian we had in
mind, but were merely repeating a
suggestion we made in these col
umns nearly ten years ago.

LOOKS LIKE SPRING.

1t isn't Spring, of course, but il
is about the best imitation the heart
could desire
With plum hedges looking like
banks of snow. and the fragrant
peach in full bloom, and pear trees
teeming with great white petals, and
japonicas and yellow jasmine and
ionquils smiling on every side-what
with these, and blue skies, and balmy,
languorous days, and pleasant nights,
Spring itself can make no improve
ment
At times like these ones thoughts
just naturally turn to fishing! You
want to inhale the fragrance of the
woods, to stretch out on the fresh
green turf and listen to the chirping
and warbling of the birds as they in
dustriously, yet happily, fit about
their spring housekeeping.
The calendar says that Spring won't
be here for nearly a month, but we
know better-it's here already. March
may blow and buster, and even freeze
US, but We will have had touch of
springtime, as fine as any spring days

A BIT OF FINANCIAL HISTORY.


The credit of the United States was
50 high and unquestionable that in
1900, two years after the Spanish
war, 2 per cent. bonds were offered at
par and oversubscribed. This is a
financial performance no other ma
ton has ever equaled.
United states 4 per cent. bonds in
1888 sold as high as 1870 and in 1901
brought 139 rs on the stock mar
Eet.
The United States has never de
faulted on any Of its bonds. Not one
Of its bondholders has ever lost a
cent Of principal or interest, except
those who voluntarily have taken
losses by selling their bonds in a
period Of temporary depression. One
hundred cents on the dollar, princi-
pal and interest, has the United
States always paid

THE KAISER AS HE Is.

What manner of man is this Kai-
ser, this Emperor of Germany, this
William Hohenzollern?
Americans now picture him as a
blood-thirsty monster, war-crazed
fiend, man devoid of feeling or
principle.
Yet the Kaiser is really talented
man, perhaps, more gifted than most
monarchs ahve been.
From childhood" he once wrote,
Il have been influenced by five men:
Alexander the Great, julius Caesar,
Theodore IL, Frederick the Great,
and Napoleon"
They were all warriors, and two
OF them were German, one his imme-
date ancestor. So we understand
that from boyhood the Kaiser has had
the aspirations of a warrior, con-
queror, war-lord.
But the Emperor has not been
wholly devoted to the pursuit of war,
though such is now his entire prac-
tice. From the writings of former
ambassador Gerard, as they appear in
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, we get
this pen sketching of the German
ruler:
He is never satisfied to remain
more than a few days in any place
or in any occupation. He com
mands his armies in person. He
has won distinction as a writer
and as public speaker. He is
an excellent shot. He has com
posed music, written verses, sup
erintended the production of
ballet, painted a picture; the
o9eaI''-o - p ~ z,'n'.ne o"%pei - INC
for arcbitacture. and clothed IN
clergyman's surplice he has
preached sermon in Jerusalem!
None of the five men whom the
Kaiser comedies have influenced him
were as versatile as he, not even the
mighty Caesar nor the wonderful Ma
noleon Only few men in history
have had such a combination Of tai
ent.
In my conversations with the En-
peror Il have been struck with his
knowledge of other countries" says
3ir. Gerard. lie is familiar not only
