A Mr.. Wisdom on the Job

rvARRIs COUNTY has Mr. WISDOM and he is on
the Job for the betterment of the schools OF the
county.
They have voted for the local school tax in Harris and
it has so operated to pay the teachers promptly IL
the teachers had been accustomed to being paid those
of most other counties the state prompt payment must
have been shock to them.
We quote from the Hamilton Journal:
That was fine stroke for the schools of old Harris
when local tax was voted in last year. 1t has accom-
plished an encouraging feature in the prompt pay
ment of our faithful teachers. Mr.. Wisdom is ever
on the alert for the betterment of our educational
work He is truly the right man in the right place
But an even greater fault is underpaying teachers
The teacher bears close and intimate relation to the
ueoule The character of the child is largely in the
teachers hands.
We have seen parents who would not think OF putting
an automobile much less valuable piece OF property
in the hands of incompetent servant but who cheer
fully trust their children the training of just sort
of teacher and some actually take the view that the
cheaper you can hire teacher the better.
Cobb County has forty-fve school districts and only
seven of them the local tax for support of schools
Surely poor that can not give our country
children the full year of schooling.
of Cobb prosperous, and the schools OF
Cobb should be no less So Can realize the great
importance of education for the coming generation? Be
cause many of US were denied school privileges and
have yet succeeded lfe does not that we sue
ceeded because of lack of education it only that
we succeeded in spite of the lack of education and the
day has when the lack of education will be an even
greater handicap in the race for success
1t is up you people of Cobb County; you can have
the tax and have the schools, you keep this little
tax money and let the children go without training SO
necessary to success.

Raising the Dust

1EHAvE often watched a struggle in the affairs of
wv business between parties whose interests "ouio
seem to be exactly IDENTICAL as viewed oy an
and wondered why the conflict
In the matters of public policy these con1lcts most
often occur though they frequently seen IN personal
or family quarrels Both parties may admit the WISDOM
of certain action but become violently esranged over
mode of procedure to render all action impossible
This is one of the troubles of roadbudng today every
power expanding itself along lines wholly different and
nothing is done
This is hardly the statement either; we should have
said that whatever is done is wasted and time and money
is lost thereby.
We would like very much to see more OF our streets
paved and believe this would be good time TO nave
get together meeting between those vitality interested
Int who have for any heretofore opposed paving
Although the winter has been exceedingly mild, many
times some of our best streets have been mred to such
an extent as to be almost impossible for cars
And now that the spring approaches and we think OF
the dry hot days with the clouds Of dust rising from
the street and covering and choking every living tnng
we wish all the more for paved streets
We have always had terror of dust and when 1T fills
the air and goes into the lungs with every breath the
mere thought of the germs it may is obhorrent
No one denies that there is real danger in this DUST
and every wishes to get away from IT, only pa'eu
streets will prevent it,
Then there is another of danger arising from
the dust We have the streets so filled with 1t as
to render traffic actually dangerous Cars pedestrians
and other objects obscured as to make accdenC
more probable
All the pleasure of ride walk through certain
streets is taken away by the dust About this we think
all will agree and we believe all will agree that paving
is the only escape.
We know nothing Of the former difficulties or conten
tions of citizens the paving subject We never
attended any of the meetings took sides with any
faction do expect to do now, but we do enter
tain fervent hope that by all these diner
ences may smoothed and agreement reached
for further paving of our Streets -
If money the only obstacle, we shall hope for some
plan of rasing the DUST to the streets to keep
down the dust e.

We have become educated to high

ers have not yet been permitted com
mensurate salaries. We have nc

not be tagged with "cut-price" salary

should certainly be removed from

When only bargain counter
prices are paid for teachers you will
not be able to keep anything but

although many good teachers, are
still hanging on to the profession in
hope of being eventually paid at least
as much as the common laborer de-

All of the Cur Species

\ NUMBER Of Lieutenants in the Naval Service have
been found guilty of taking brides for favoring
men in assignments for service.
1t is said that they received large of cash and
other valuable presents in consideration of which men
given "bomb proof jobs and various favored posi-
TONS Some for instance assigned to shore duty
in the great cities where they already had lucrative
business and only had to report for hour each day
in uniform
No law is too severe for the punishment of such
rupt creatures who bring dishonor upon the uniform
they wear; both the who sells and the man
who buys favored places in the service.
We feel that if they turned to the hon
orabe who served where duty called that the cuprts
would get stern, quick justice.
Both seller and buyer of the "yellow cur species
if may dishonor the dogs by of the term
and are beneath the contempt of all humanity.

The Clean Slate A Good Policy

I'VE SEE that the Tennessee General Assembly will
Wv mass legislation giving pardon to all soldiers
who were guilty of misdemeanors before the war
This is following the policy of the "clean slate OF
which we wrote some months ago, when Judge Morris,
of the Blue Ridge Circuit announced IN his charge to
the grand Jury that all such would be thrown out
of his court by nole prosequi
There can doubt that such action generally would
receive the commentator of all the people There would
he little heart in the prosecution of boy for mis-
demeanor after he had been in the service of his flag
and came home again
We feel sure this will encourage many to lead better
lives and to cleaner things No doubt many young men
would come back reluctance after an honorable serv
ice if they thought they might be faced with some old
boyish efense. -

Looks like this country is up against
a serious labor problem. One strike
follows another. The latest proposal
is, for all organized labor to walk out
the first of July under the banner,
mo beer, no work" That defies the
law. 1t is slap in the face of the
fundamentals of good government.
There is limit to all things. There
comes a time when forbearance
ceases to be a virtue.-Commerce
News.
If anything so foolish as such a
strike ever is called in this country,
it can only result in the complete
defeat of organized labor. We believe
and hope the threats are only made to
see how much the ordinary citizen
mot the union man or captalist) will
stand for. Such open defiance of law
will be the extreme limit.

We are not advising farmers to
plant less cotton. In most instances,
we might as well sing psalms to
a dead horse. There is only one
thing under the skies that will reduce
the acreage and that is for the price
to tumble to a point where cotton
means bankruptcy. And even then,
some farmers would plant cotton
from mere force of habit. Tear down
the fence and plant the garden in cot
ton.-Commerce News.
Don't worry Brother Shannon, wise
farmers are going to plant less cot
ton and more food stuff this year,
and the other kind will be wiser but
sadder" by the end of the year.
