Editorial ANNOUNCEMENT

Beginning on the first day of Sep
TENDER the subscription rate Of the
Marietta Journal will be Two Dollars
per year, and it will be well worth the
price.
On the same date our advertising
rates will also be advanced to more
reasonable level, circulation being
considered.
Subscriptions that are paid in ad-
vance before September first for not
more than one year, will be received
at the present rate.
Those already paid in advance will
of course stand as they are. Also all
present advertising contracts will be
carried out as per contract.
We expect some reduction in ad-
vertising perhaps, but it will give a
cleaner better newspaper and more
room for news and other matters Of
interest to our readers.
We expect to be able to devote
more time to the proper editing and
selecting the matter that goes into
our columns.
For several months we have la
bored under a physical or mechanical
handicap in getting out such a paper
as we believe our people want, but
we now feel safe in saying that we are
going to give you paper well worth
the price of two dollars per year.
1t is needless to recite at length all
the reasons for making the change,
but we might mention few.
Since the beginning of the war,
all the following items which go to
make up your newspaper, have ad-
vanced in cost anywhere between
ten and three hundred per cent.
Paper, Ink, Oil, Gasoline, Rollers,
Metal, Machinery, Phone, kilograms,
Postage and Labor.
Not one single thing about the ma
king of your paper, but what IL mas
advanced in price.
And some of the things will further
advance and even now the supply of
is getting lower each week.
In addition to all this the condition
of the markets has been such as to
reduce the amount of advertising
very greatly.
The government and all war COM
mittees are cheerfully given all the
available space in our columns, and
to the extent of our finances we have
contributed to all causes.
The Journal has always been a
good newspaper and it is now our
purpose to make it much better one,
one that you can not afford to do
without.
During August we can take your
subscription at the old rate, but for
not more than one year in advance.

Harris is not fit to be in the United

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

We have some announcements for
Commissioner and for the Legisla-
ture this week and it is our purpose
to comment on candidates or on their
platforms, from time to time, as we
may view them, but we do not suppose
the entries are yet complete and we
have not space or time this week to
give any attention to the matter.
We publish the announcements on
the last page of this issue, so far as
they have been received.
Those so far announced are fairly
we'll known to the public, but we ask
you to read their cards.

A TRUTHFUL ANSWER AND
NOR AN EVASION, PLEASE

Recently we said: "Bill Schley
Howard was a volunteer in the Span
ish-American war, where was that
great patriot William Jonah Harris
them"
The Rome Tribune-Herald answers
our question with that direct frank
ness so characteristic of some of the
Harris supporters, by saying: "Well,
he was not at Tampa, Florida, fight
ing sand flies and eating ice cream.
Furthermore, William j. Harris has
three brothers now in the United
States army, and this is real sure
enough war;" which of course tells us
just where the great patriot was, but
we do not locate him.
Our neighbor, the Cobb County
Times, answers our question by ask
ing: "Where was The Journal Edi-
tori"
While we are not running for the
senate on the alleged favoritism of
the President, or posing as the great
and only patriot on the array record
of brothers, we do not mind saying
that on account of slight physical
disability, we were declined for SER
vice in the same regiment in which
Bill Schley Howard served.
Now come across with the answer,
where was your great and only real
patriot?

HOWARD SPEAKS TO CROWD

Hon. William Schley Howard, can
dfdate For the senate, had one of the
largest and most enthusiastic crowds
to hear him at his speaking in the
Auditorium in Atlanta on Monday
night that ever gathered at polite
al meeting in Georgia.
He went after both Hardwick and
Harris with gloves off and the crowd
cheered him from start to finish
1t was the unanimous opinion that
it was one of the greatest speeches
ever delivered in this state. More
people heard it than have heard Bill
Harris read his little piece since he
started his whining tour of the state.

AN UNUSUAL RECORD OF
EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY

We do not believe there is parallel
anywhere of the record that is being
mabe by the Georgia Normal and In
dustrial College for women at Mil
ledgeville.
In these times of high prices and
advanced costs, this institution is hol-
ding down the expense to the state
to the same figure it was in 1904.
During that time the cost of living
has almost doubled everywhere else.
The per capita cost per scholar in
1904 was $67.75 and in 1918, in
these war times, the cost was $3.50
And all this time the number of
pupils has been growing, and the
scope and influence of the college
broadened. More than a thousand
girls now attend, and in addition to
the regular terms, free Summer In
stitute was held in 1917 and 1918.
This college has become the largest
single factor in turning out teachers
for the schools of Georia, and we
have no fear in making the assertion
that every city and county school
superintendent in the state will at
test the high class of these teachers.
We note with alarm the dispositi
on of some members Of the present
Legislature to reduce the support of
this college, for the sake of economy.
1t would be the poorest sort of econo-
my, to Withhold support from the insti
tuition above all others in the state,
that is practcing as we'll as teaching
economy.
We do not believe the people of
Georgia will let this worthy school
lack for support,
Peronally, we have wished to see
it entirely free from the domination
of the Board of the State University
at Athens. We do not believe it has
had any support, or even square
deal at the hands of this board, and
we see no reason why it should con-
tinue under it.
Personally we also know that the
management locally at Milledgeville
has been most efficient, and especially
to President M. M. Parks would we
give much credit for this most excel
lent condition.
Thousands of young women have
gone out from it's halls, equipped in
the vocations of life to be self sup
porting, independent and helpful in
the affairs of the home, state and ma
ton.
The common people of the state
know its great advantages, and each
year very many girls have to be turn
ed away from its doors.
In our county ne announcement
has been made for the next 'legisla-
ture, and we do not know who will
run, but we suggest to the people
that only those who are known to be
favorable to the just and liberal treat
ment of this great college of the COM
mon people, should have their sup
port
The cost of firing three rounds
from one of our battleships will ex-
coed the total annual support given
by the state to this college.

Since the above was put into type
a controversy has arisen before the
legislative committees, between the
trustees and Prof. Parks of the above
college on one side and the State I'm
iversity trustees and Judge George
Gober on the other, which promises
to be unusually bitter.
The University Trustees named
Judge Gober as one of the trustees
on the G.. N. l. C. board, notwithstand-
ing the known differences and Prof.
Parks promptly offered his resigna-
ton which at this hour had not been
accepted, and which we hope will net
be accepted, for we consider him the
best fitted for the place of any man
in the country. We speak from per-
sonal knowledge of the man and the
job he has so conscientiouSly held
for the last fourteen years.
We wish we had time ard space to
reproduce an editorial from the At
lanta, Journal of Wednesday on this
subject.
