Why Not Economic Here?

TN THESE days, when the government is in need of
1 every dollar that it raise borrow, and after
it has gone the utmost in teaching the people thrift
and economy feel they will be glad to have any
great saving that may be accomplished pointed out.
We therefore feel that not be charged with
fault finding when point out great waste the
part of department. that is taking place right at
our doors. Still should not say word if we did not
hear that the thing is going on, and to an even
larger extent elsewhere
We refer to the parking out in the weather of thou
sands of army trucks and automobiles and leaving them
there to rust and At Fort Mcpherson, there is
field of acres and filled with motor trucks and
that have there for good while and nobody knows
how long they to stay there, in the open weather
Most of them, we understand, in good condition,
perfectly new, yet by understanding with the
manufacturers it is said they not to be put on the
market for two years. after which time the junk
man will able to find little of worth.
Certainly there is little show of efficiency, economy
thrift in this. If the manufacturer must be taken
of by the government why not for the
handling of all these trucks? Or why not give them to
the cities and counties for the prosecution of road work
so much needed? Why let them rot?
We suppose that the manufacturers must be taken
of in the matter just the wheat growers in
getting bonus from the government and just as all
others doing except the cotton farmersbut this
tanly looks like poor and expensive to do it,
If we had way about it, would put those cars
into service if had to hand them to the cotton
to repay them for the losses of 1914 and since
but as we neither have authority influence in the
matter we pass it up to genial congressman, who
claims to be a power around the departments in Wash
ington

The Lord Hates A Gutter?

A RE YOU cutter? Do you start thing and drop
n it when it is half finished? Do you let your mind
and attention wander off to something else and waste all
the effort YOU have put the job? If you do it is
weakness and if you do everything that you are
failure.
The Bible is full of exhortations to diligence and per-
severance and in not a single does it commend the
suggard or the gutter We therefore forced to the
conclusion that the Lord hates gutter, and we are
applying the above question to ourselves TO see Wher
stand.
Last YEAR in the dark days when it seemed that our
little army in France would be annhilated before we
could stop the German hordes a number of men IN
Marietta organized patriotic league, and pledged them
selves to do cheerfuly anything and everything in their
power to help our government win the war.
All over the country citizens did the same thing, and
the word was carried Washington and our government
acting upon these assurances threw every force INTO
immediate action to win the Great sums OF money
were expended, for what money compared TO the
lives of our boys who being offered freely, and
in few months the tide turned, the Huns were
rolled back, and humanity felt safe once more.
But now we come to another chapter. The bill has
come in 1t is big one-bigger than some OF US ex-
pected perhaps-but the victory was worth the price
Are going to repudate this debt! Are we going 10
violate the pledge we took in those dark days last
ner? How would we have felt to have had our govern
ent say to us them "The money is out; send no
more more and those already there must perish"
Would you been proud of any such government!
No! You would have hung your head in shame!
Now Just word more the who gave that pledge
last year. The president of the league has asked you TO
come to dinner at the Club house Friday evening and
talk over with each other what be able to DO
about the little balance Uncle Sam owes, 1t is your
duty to be there.

End the Controversy

We have been printing for several weeks salty cards
between Mayor Brumby and Mr. NJ L. Mcneil in regard
to the city finances and the water supply
When the differences in opinion first brought to
our attention. we might arrive at under
standing between them but far from doing this these
cards have apparently further estranged the gentlemen
and have reaching a solution of the mat
tiers at issue.
Instead, it would that the city would not be
helped any by further card writing and would respect
fully suggest that these gentlemen end the newspaper
controversy and if any further procedure to be had
it be by an impartial committee.

Friend Shope had on a regular

doesn't like the Veasey bill, he doesn't
like Atlanta's rate increase policy,
and last but not least, he doesn't like
Burleson! In some of this we can
agree, anyway.-Marietta Journal.

you stand for and which you stand

Commissioned officers of the United
States army who considered it very dis
tasteful to be compelled to return from
Europe on the same ship with privates
and non commissioned officers must have
imbibed something of the spirit of Eu-
ropean institutions and much to their
disadvantage, too Such class distinc-
ton, even though it be in military life,
does not comport well with the usual
democratic standards of the United
States and with the normal American
life. IL is to be hoped that the war did
not make any start toward building up
military class like that which dominat,
ed Germany and which made German
standards more or less of laughing
stock throughout the freer parts OF the
world In Germany an officer considered
himself several notches above the com
mon people, or the civilians, and he con
Quoted himself in manner highly dis
pleasing to those who love democratic
notions. The American people will not
tolerate similar display of snobbery
