counters one of the needy he DOESN'T
stutter with his pocketbook. The
plain plug of a man is happy because
he is satisfied and he dosen't spend
half of his time yearning for some
thing which his salary will not permit

Every great crisis in the history Of
the world has found its man to con-
troll and guide it. Call this Provi-
dence or accident, the American Revo-
luton was no exception to it. Before
the first murmurs of discomfort were
heard in that struggle, the man was
being prepared for the crisis. On the
banks of the Potomac and the Kappa
hammock, thirty years before Lexing-
ton and Bunker Hill, a truthful and
manly boy was growing up, ripening
into stalwart young manhood With
only the common school education of
that early day, the young man was
soon being educated in the broader
school of nature and experience, in
the great forest, under the open heav-
ems, with his surveyors chain and his
sword in Indian wars, defending the
frontier settlement from savage in
cursions. That boy was named
George Washington and we all cele-
brate his birthday on the 22nd Of
February.

One reason why some men do not
get along better in this world is be-
cause they have not the proper slim
ulant in their homes Their homes
lack these little touches of refine
ment which bring the best out Of
them. Neatness and taste are posi-
Bile in the poorest homes. Let a
woman make the atmosphere as dain-
ty as her means allow, and she will
raise her husband to the same stand
ard. And as she elevates him the eff
fort is felt upon herself, her children,
her home, and her future.

Undesirable Immigrants.

FL XCITEMENT over the recent bomb out
u RACES, which supposedly were the
So deeds of anarchistc aliens, has added
both fuel and flame to the demand for more
stringent immigration laws. The immediate
problem is how to deal most effectually with
the undesirables already within our gates;
and therein lie enough perpleXities to keep
wise heads wagging EOr many day. After
those responsible for these latest crimes are
brought to justice Ca task yet to be com
passed. there will remain the business or
finding out the potentially criminal and de-
porting them. But beyond all this lies the
question which ultimately is Of the highest
Importance: what shall be done to prevent
this sinister fotsam from drifting in upon
us hereafter?
Obviously there is need of new regulations
to govern the admission Of immigrants. The
present law, as the New Orleans Times-Plca-
yune points out was passed, some years ago
over the veto of President Wilson, having
been previously vetoed by Mr.. Taft, and has
been of no appreciate value in the larger
problems to be grappled. However, Now
that the war is over, can act and must
act and take all the points at issue into con-
sideration-the immigration of unGesirables,
the propagandists and conspirators, the need
of labor, and high wages as against unem-
ployment."
Though hasty legislation on weighty a
matter would be i'll advised and might prove
to be no unnecessary delays. At the out
break Of the war in Europe we we're admit
ting immigrants at the rate Of million
twelvemonth. That high tide has fallen to
a mere wavelet in the last few years, but
who knows when it may come booming in
again? We now have some eleven million
aliens in the United States, or more than
one-tenth of our total population. Authori-
ties declare moreover, that of millions who
have gone through the forms of naturaliza-
ton, large proportion have not been truly
Americanized, being aliens still in speech,
in habits Of thought and in their general at
titude to the nation. This by no means i'm
plies that there not thousands upon
thousands of excellent citizens amongst those
who have come to our shores and espouse our
flag in years comparatively recent, as we'll as
in the decades and generations gone by. But
there is manifest and imperative need of
keeping out further increments of the wholly
undesirable type that has flowed in so
menacingly heretofore. To this end, Con-
gress should act as soon rs the pending
diplomatic problems will allow.
In these days Of prosperity men are not
conspicuous by reason of paying income taxes
or owning automobiles.

There's More in the Road
Than in the Route.

I'VE have reached the conclusion says the
Moultrie Observer, in commenting on contests
to determine the routes of new highways,
"that the first thing to do is to build the
roads, and then let the traffic follow the lines
of least resistance"
Though the value OF generous rivalries in
stimulating road improvements is not to be
minimized, the Observers point of view is far
seeing and sound. AS matter of fact, traffic
will follow, in the long run, the route which
best serves it's need and convenience, regard
less of formal designations. And this means,
rule, that it will follow the route whose
roads are best constructed and best maintain
ed. The counties, therefore, that put maxi
mum of efficiency into highway building are
certain of their reward, whether they win or
lose in some particular contest. AS our coun-
temporary tersely phrases it, "There is more
in the road than in the route"
Friendly competition, nevertheless, has it's
distinct uses. In years past, many a COM
munity has been spurred to profitable effort
by an ambition to get on an interstate high
way such as the National or the Dixie; and the
same constructive leaven may be expected to
work in the establishment of the proposed
highway to join together the county sites of
Georgia. The advantages of being a link,
hOWsOever small, in that golden chain can
scarcely fail to stir every town and village
and countryside to fresh exertion in road bet
terment.
All these should seek first, however, to pro-
vide roads adequate to their own basic needs
roads that will quicken trade, facilitate
marketing, bring school and church within
easier reach Of home, and strengthen all those
forces by which a peoples prosperity, both
outward and inward, is fed. This done, there
need be no anxiety regarding the communty's
place and fortunes on highway routes, 70
where roads are good and opportunity
beckOnS traffic is bound to come

Adeouate Home Markers
For Georgia Products.
r-HE alert spirit of Columbus, Georgia,
never essayed a more useful work

s-HE alert spirit of Columbus, Georgia,
never essayed a more useful work
N than that of establishing an adequate
cash market for the diversified food and for
age crops grown in the surrounding country.
Through the Rural Department OF the city
Chamber of Commerce stock company is be-
ing organized for this purpose, the appeal TO
local capital being equally strong from the
standpoint both of civic loyalty and of invest
ment opportunity. Facilities will be provided
for handling, storing, and, in some instances,
perhaps, manufacturing raw food products,
including peanuts, velvet beans and otner
commodities which can be raised abundantly
and most proftably in that region as soon as
a dependable market is established.
Enterprises like this are highly important
to Georgia at the present stage of the States
agricultural development Lack OF just SUCH
markets as Columbus is now institutlng was
for a long time the stronghold Of the tyran-
nous all-cotton system. Farmers needed no
one to tell them that there were divers food
crops which in the main would yield larger
and surer rewards than cotton, but they did
need someone to take those crops OH their
hands after they had raised them. For cot
ton, a thoroughgoing and dependable sys-
tenn of marketing already existed, SO that
it was easy for the grower to convert his
staple into cash. But until years compare
lively recent, there was only here and there
any such facilities for disposing of home
grown food products. Thus there could be
no far-reaching and permanent progress in
diversified agriculture, with it's vital import
to the States upbulldlng, until the need1ul
markets were provided
Peanut and velvet bean mills, grain eleva-
tors, packing houses, canning factories,
potato-curing plants-these were to be the
breeders and conservers of farm diversified
ton. And as they have multiplied, Georgia
has prospered as never before. Millions or
dollars which formerly went to distant re-
gions for the purchase of food commodities
now remain in the State and in the service of
home enterprise, whilst thousands of farmers
who once were dependent on the uncertain
fortunes of a single crop now have numerous
and steady sources of income. The Rural
Department Of the Columbus Chamber of
Commerce is warmly to be congratulated
upon it, movement to make these advantages
still more abundant in Muscogee and neigh
boring counties. Better work for the COM
mon interests Of business and agriculture
could not be done.
