A RAY OF HOPE YET.

1t has been inconceivable that two
such men as Lenine and Trotsky could
absolutely deliver a nation so big as
Russia and domain so vast unquali-
fiedly into the hands of Germany.
Yet that is what these men have
sought to do. OF course, the treaty
with Germany was not entirely framed
nor sponsored by only two men, but
their control of the Russian COVER
ment is such that they could have pre-
vented it. The servile, supine policy
promulgated by Trotsky, an idea rep
resenting the extreme of socialism to
the degree that it is ultra-Utopian, was
calculated to make Russia the abject
slave of the Kaiser.
Small wonder that the bulk of the
Russian peoples, as densely ignorant
as they are, have refused to approve
this monstrous outrage. A holy war,
sc-called, which would be nothing more
nor less than an uprising of and re-
sistance by the people, would hardly
stop the tide of the German advance,
but it would at least present consider
able difficulties to the invaders and de-
monstrate that Russia has no intention
of becoming a Prussian adjunct.
1t is possible that out of the chaos
existing in Russia there may yet
evolve some rehabilitating force, the
development of which will restore Rus
STA to its once proud position of a
stalwart among the mighty nations of
the world The bear that walks like
a man. has been led around by it's
German master, ring-in-nose, and made
to perform at the crack of the lash.
Yet this same Bear has such latent
strength that it can not always be
passive, nor forever submit to German
domination. In the natural course of
events, the people of Russia are
bound to arise, assert themselves and
throw off the German yoke.
1t is not going too far to say thar
Germany may some day be sorry that
it ever undermined the Russian gov
eminent and undertook to control that
coutry. There is such thing as COW
eling too much territory.

A UNIQUE ARGUMENT.

One of the best arguments for pro.
addition is letter written by Vir
ginia lawyer to the New York World
telling how prohibition affects tht
practice of lawyers.
The letter reads:
I am an attorney at law, twenty
six years in practice at this place.
l write to ask you if you would be
kind enough to convey a message
to lawyers of other states in which
the amendment tot the constitu-
ton of the United States in regard
to prohibition is being considered.
What want them to know is that
if the amendment prevails the vol
ume of law business will be great
ly decreased.
l do not have in mind the bust
ness of defending criminals, for
that does not amount to much I'M
der any circumstances. What
have observed and experienced is
that when state goes dry, civil
cases growing out of such things
as defective judgment or prema-
ture and impulsive acts grow
scarcer. Lawyers are not required
in such great numbers to help
people in troubles arising from
failures, foreclosures, deceit,
fraud, mistake, marital relations,
mutual misunderstanding of con-
tracts and undertakings, defalca-
tions, defaulting trustees, neglect
and the like. Of course cannot
give the exact amount of depre-
citation, but it is safe to say that
it is close to so per cent.
1t does seem that the lawyer
ought to be Unidentified when
state goes dry.
Following this line of argument tn
state that goes dry should also re
iInburse the breweries and the dis
tilleries, pay the saloon keepers 70
their fixtures and stock, pension tn

do you feel that his burdens, already

Hearst effort to conjure up a class
war in the United States?
Do you live under "rapacious i'm
perialism, or under a sane democracy
which thus far has tolerated even the
! reasonable propaganda of Hearst?
The Bolshevih idea of democracy
has found expression by destroying all
discipline in the army, and thus per-
/ hitting the Germans to annex Russian
territory greater in extent than the
whole of Prussia.
In the light of Hearst's instructions
to his editors, printed in his newspa-
pers of March /, and elaborated to
the extent of page editorial, can
there be any doubt that the "conspir-
acy" has arrived?
What will the patriotic men of Geor-
gia do about it? Will they wait I'M
til Hearst has famed the legions of
unrest to the point of armed resist
ance" to this "rapacious imperialism"
which our forefathers christened the
United States? Will they wait until
the sinister forces against which the
president has issued a warning have
still further paralyzed his war-making
power and Bolshevikized the American
republic?

Of glasses and bottles.

The very fact that the practice OF
lawyers decrease fifty per cent. by
reason of there ensuing less criminal

material wherever there is fight in

ification of the national constitutional
amendment, which the legislature of
Georgia will soon be called upon to

HEARSTS GROWING INFAMY

The follow ing editorial from the Ma
con News covers the subject matter SO
thoroughly and so splendidly that The
Times Recorder feels that it is doing
it's readers a service to re-publish it:
# there were any abyss of infamy
and treason into which the unspeaka-
BILE Hearst had not already fallen, it
might be a matter of surprise that he
has esroused the cause of the Bolshe-
Wiki and mas committed his string OF
gutter sheets to the reign of chaos and
murder
Every intelligent man who has fol-
lowed his rancid trail for yeast must
have known that, in fact, it led to
some such elimination as he has now
revealed but human nature was al
most incal able of believing that he
would have the impulence to avow the
full measure of his own depravity.
Never before in the history of this
government has there been a more
deadly and damnable thrust at the very
vitals of American institutions than
this spiritual heir of Anarcharsis
Cloots wrote thus over his own sig
nature in his newspapers of March
1st:
81 think our whole cause is likely to
be injured by any delay in recogniz-
ing and supporting Bolsheviki gov
eminent in Russia.
What are the Bolsheviki?
"They are the representatives of the
most democratic government in Eu-
rope.
"Why are we in this war?
eve are in it for democracy.
Then, for heavens sake, why not
recognize a democratic government?
Does this not seem to discredit oul
professions of war for democracy?
LET us recognize the truest democ-
racy in Europe, the truest democracy
In the world today Then we can fight
an inspiring fight for democracy witt
some truth, some sincerity, and some
conviction.
Could you believe, without the evi
dence of your own eyes, that any mar
out of Bedlam-or Prussia-could hav,
written this miserable, lying screed?
At the very moment that America
soldiers are laying down their live
in France shot to death by German
troops whom Bolsheviki treason ha'
released from the eastern front, thi
strident dachshund of American poll
tics banks his approval of the defeat
ist policy which has brought about the
most stupendous calamity of modern
times.

charlatan appeals to the lowest pas
