She dives from the cliff into the

after her and overtakes her just as

ed at the lighthouse in small boats
and prepare to break down the door

falls over the lighthouse and Belle is
able to pull out the heavy cable
on which the breaches bouy runs, and
makes it fast. Then she gets into

LET REPRESENTATION CEASE

1t is absolutely impossible for an
automobile truck to run between and
Americas. 1t is reported that In one
place on the Dixie Highway there are
twelve passenger automobiles begged
up.
A number of business houses in
Americas will be forced to close up
if the railroad strike is continued
and EVERY ONE of these business
could continue IF OUR HIGHWAYS
WE'RE PASSABLE.
And this in the summer months.
Suppose this strike or a similar rail
road strike were to break out during
the winter 1t isn't probable.
Millions of dollars are invested in
automobile trucks, which would be
pressed into service if GEORGIA
HAD HARD-SURFACED ROADS.
The Georgia legislature has had
since the opening of the session bills
which would relieve the situation.
Yet it has neglected this-one of the
most important subjects to receive
its attention.
Weeks have been given to the fam
lily row between Macon and Atlanta.
Enough time and talk have been de-
voted to capitol removal to pass a
dozen highway bills.
The highway bills were sidetracked
our legislators spent their time in dis
cussing-and cussing-the Federal
suffrage amendment, a question that
could have been carried over to next
year without loss to either side.
The Senate's committee, as one
well-posted man expressed himself
took all the highway bills, selected
every BAD feature in each bill, and
incorporated them into what was call
ed the Senate Highway Bill, a bill
which contemplated an overhead ex-
pense of 100000 a year.
The session is almost at an end.
Some progress has been made, BUT
the 1919 Legislature has far failed
to pass comprehensive, adequate
highway bills that will care for the

'The people are not going to starve
they are going to die fighting" AL
ready there is to much unrest and
incipient revolt abroad in the land,
and intelligent leaders of the masses
should be extremely careful in their
utterances along such lines.
To be sure "The people are not
going to starve," least of all the al
ready well-paid railroad workers. The
wheels are in motion already to re
duce the high cost of living. Presi-
dent Wilson has announced he will
give his entire time to this subject
until some solution Of the pressing
pcoblem has been found. Even the
League of Nations has been temper
erIly set aside that this subject may
receive the undivided attention of
the whole nation. Congress has been
retained in session-after its mem
bers had decided upon a recess of
seven weeks-that every govern
mental agency might be used in the
effort to provide relief for the ma
ton.
Suits have been instituted against
profteers, and the agents of the de-
partment of justice in all parts of
the nation have been instructed to
arrest dealers guilty of extorting un-
warranted profits, and other steps
have been taken to relieve a situa-
ton which has already created much
discomfort and upset every line of
business.
The people are not "going to die
fighting" There will never arise
any need for them to "die fighting"
and Stone knows this. 1t is impos-
sible to conceive that he literally
meant the statement credited to him.
He is too we'll informed, too intelli-
gent to make such a momentous
statement without careful considera-
ton. The Times Recorder is of the
opinion that Stones statement should
be promptly repudiated.
The railroads have been operated
by the government at LOSS OF
ONE BILLION TWO HUNDRED
MILLIONS. In the face of this
fac; this is no time for a demand
for increased wages on the part Of
railroad employees.
Congress- first step should be to
LOWER the cost of living - not IN
CREASE it by adding more to the
railroad deficit, which of necessity
must be passed back to the people in
another and a VERY SUBSTAN-
TIAL RAISE IN FREIGHT AND
PASSENGER RATES.

HAVE A CARE, MR.. STONE.

Warren S. Stone, grand chief Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, and official representative
of more than a million laboring men
in this country, should be more care
full in mis- public utterances, if he has
been correctly reported in the news
papers recently. Testifying before a
House committee in Washington this
week, Stone is quoted as having said:
''THE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING
TO STARVE; THEY ARE GOING
TO DIE FIGHTING"
This is no time for such talk on the
part of the responsible men. of the
nation Stone holds too high posl
ton TO give utterance to such state
ments, susceptible as they are to
mis-interpretation and misunder-
standing. Millions of people, per-
haps not intelligent as Stone, may
see in his declaration a threat of
open revolt, though it is hardly con
ceivable that he so intended it, So
much better would it have been had
Stone couched his statement in more
conservative language, as did Franz
Morrison, secretary of the American
Federation. who, testifying before
the same committee, and probably
with the same idea in mind as Stone
entertained Labor" Morrison SAID
would not be disappointed if it fail
ed to have its railroad plan adopted
Immediately. 1t simply would grid
itself for the educating of it's work
ers, to the point where Congress
would be sufficiently impressed"
That Morrison has already learned
salutatory lesson through his OPP
position and contempt of the ma
tons high courts may have had
some influence over his utterances,
and Stone should be careful lest he,
too, gain valuable experience through
a failure to discriminate between le-
gitimate public protest and threats
of open revolt.
Stone, perhaps, would have been
more clearly within his rights had he
confined himself to the declaration
that Eat the request of these organi-
cations (the railroad brotherhoods)
the Sims bill is now before you,"
said Mr.. Stone. 81 speak as the
voice of these two million men, del
egated by them to announce to this
committee and to the people of this
country that they are supporting this
measure with all the strength and
all the unity of purpose that can
move SO large body of citizens.
Joined with US and represented
by Mr. Morrison is the American
Federation of Labor adding three mil
lion and a half more men to that
body of railway employees who in
stituted this movement"
TheBrotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers has done much to elevate the
standard of American labor, and The
Times-Recorder respects and honors
the leaders of American labor for
their RIGHTFUL efforts in behalf
of the laboring classes, but we can.
not agree with any man who says;
