A. great many of those who are
criticising Mr.. Wilson so severely now
are entirely ignorant of the motives
that are actuating him in assuming
the attitude that he has with regard
to some very vital questions. 1t is
easy to stand off and say what ought
to be done when you view thing
from one angle, particularly when sell
fishness beclouds the view. Mr.. Wilson
has proven himself remarkable
leader through a remarkable Crisis
and though we concede infallibility to
no man, he has shown himself as
nearly worthy of it as any man could
Vienna News.
We consider this short, plain and
accurate statement of fact We know
that Mr.. Wilson has been deceived as
to the character and real merits of
some of the men whom he has honor
ed, but on the whole his judgment
has been good-far better than any
of his critics, and the people still have
great confidence in him.

City Affairs and Water Supply

T. OR several weeks there has been considerable COM
ment upon the city finances and city water, and we
printed from Mayor Jim Brumby last week. defense of
his administration Having heard the adverse criticisms
doubted that his letter would silence them, and
took the liberty to suggest to the the propety of
having the citys financial status reviewed by committee
of capable citizens, and also having from them compare
tive statement of the ctys affairs and the work
plished under this administration.
The mayor expressed his willingness to such plan of
action and gave publicity through these columns
This week have letter from Mr. NJ L. McNeel,
who has appeared the leader of the opposition which
he his former charges concerning the city affairs
and water boards and further forth additional
charges but he acknowledges at least part the
ableness of the plan which suggested for settlement
Of disputed points
Mayor Brumby has said the books and records are
all open will bankers in the interest of TRUTH
harmony and the cits best interests organize themselves
into a reviewing board, and in few hours work de-
termine which of these gentlemen should do the
apology act?

Staple Goods at Half Price

| F THE GOVERNMENT should announce that it would
sell two hundred thousand barrels of flour to people in
Georgia at half price there would be clamorng all
the state to get part of that -four No would be too
broke to apply for his part.
But when the government offers to sell three million
dollars worth of good roads the people of Georgia
half price, find the people baking. The governments
only condition that the roads be good roads, and that
half the bill be paid by the state counties
Yet all the state the counties spending mil
lions of dollars every year for roads They spending
the money build roads that not roads to
build roads that will require rebuilding again next year.
and that much inferior to the permanent roads,
during the short time they last
Every county is keeping up road force at large
expense which barely able keep the roads passabe
during the year.
Now here is the national government saying to US,
"Quit building makeshft roads, make them permanent,
and send me the bill for half the cost" Shall be so
foolish let this pass Shall let petty jealouses,
whose road shall be built first deter from saving
half the of the road? Shall Georgia, shall Cobb
county suffer for decent raods while such offer is being
held out?
Cobb not among the counties whose projects were
approved in the last apportonment of the government
funds Was it because Cobb had called bond cleo
ton taken other steps provide her the funds
for the work? We do know but of this
would be sufficient when many other counties are ready
to give substantial that the work will go ahead
when the government approves the project.
If not going to have any system of state high
built by state and federal funds then Cobb County
will have to have big bond issue.
There is no putting it off Every day of delay is
just so much money thrown away and opportunity
No county is going to be first class place to live in until
gets good, permanent roads, and every county with
such roads will acquire all else needed to make its
people prosperous and happy.
If the county had today million dollars worth of
Liberty Bonds in its vaults, they would be worth
much to the people a complete system of permanent
roads would be worth.
