of the rumors that another prominent

that Lawrence McCord would get the

to the mayor in his fight for public

"Muddiness" OF Water Affects It None

Atlanta.-The discolored water now
running through the mains of Atlanta
is chargeable to the presence of vege-
table matter, and by no means affects
the purity of the fluid, says the water
works department The heavy rains
that fell caused the Chattahoochee riv-
er to become greatly swollen, and
brought down much vegetable matter
and silt This stained the water with
a muddy color which could not be
taken out of it by the coagulating ba-'
sins and Offering plant, but the water
is pronounced all right in every way.
The chlorine plant, which purifies the
water of typhoid germs and the filter
which takes from it other microbes
are working. There is no reason to
fear that the quality of the water that
is being pumped through the mains
is deleterious to health.

Tree For Every Fulton Marty

Tree For Every Fulton Martyr In War
Atlanta.-P Planted by the hand Of a
loving mother who has seen her own
son don the khaki or the blue, tree
will grow somewhere on Atlanta's soil
for every one of her heroes who fell
on the battlefelds of France. Instead
of monuments of stone and bronze,
carved perhaps by those who, not hav-
ing felt the steely grasp of war think
only of the material, these trees will
stand as living monuments of the
thoughts of the women who have suf-
fered and given. The suggestion that
a tree be planted in memory of every
soldier and sailor in the town where
he lived was made some time ago by
the American Forestry association, and
then adopted by the war mothers of
Atlanta and vicinity, of which Mrs.
Sam d. Jones is president. For" said
Mrs. Jones, "such task is surely one
for the mothers of the men who have
taken their chances in the life-or-
death of war They are the ones who
best appreciate what the sacrifice has
meant to some one woman"

Need OF Good Roads More Evident

Thomasville.-The necessity for
good roads and roads built by compe'
tent engineers has been more than
ever demonstrated here by the heavy
rains of the past few weeks which
lost to the holiday trade of south
Georgia many thousands OF dollars
from the inability of automobiles to
pass over the roads throughout this
section, In Thomas county the work
of County Engineer Randall on the
Dixie highway from Townsville to the
bridge over the Ochlochnee river
showed up well as the highway for
the distance was in fine condition in
spite of the heavy rainfall and cars
had no trouble in travelling it.

Harlan's five will play the Hog Island
team Thursday night at Peoples Settle

two teams have met a good crowd is
sure to witness the game. The one weak
spot in the Harlan lineup has been
the pivot man. Time and again games
have been lost through the lack of
being able TO get the jump on the op-
posing team. However. Manager Gal
lagher intends to spring a surprise on
local fandom when the Harlanltes line
up Thursday Lacey and Shields will
likely be the fo wards, while Charity
and Walsh will play guard
Just who will play center remains a
mystery, but there is rumor that
Sank McCaughan OF Delaware College,
may be the man. Should McCaughan
play he would greatly strengthen the
locals. The matter Of Sank's playing,
however, has not been confirmed
But whoever the individual is he will
have TO be able TO pass and move
quickly, because when Shields and
Lacey start passing there is no let-ups
McCaughan can pass and is clever at
shooting; that is why the dope favors
him for Thur sdays contest.

Partisan Propaganda
in School Text Books
lFrom Lhe Natlonal RepublIcan.l

| country will be between socialism and
capitalism. the purpose OF this claim
evidently being to establish the idea
that capitalism" is the only foe Of and
alternative to socialism. The suppress
sion OF the Philippine rebellion is in
ferrentially condemned.
The utilization Of the public schools
as instumentalktles OF partisan and
economic propaganda is offensive to
every genuine, llberty-loving American ;
II is not less reprehensible when the
propaganda undertaken has official or
semi-oillcial sanction. Germany is the
worlds horrible example OF how a
country can be destroyed by employing
every State institution for propaganda
purposes. The socialist and free trad
er, despite their ar ogan assumption to
the contrary, have no better right TO
prostitute the public school text book
and class room to their own particular
propaganda ends, than have The p:o-
tectionist and anti-socialist This paper,
protest against the Introduction into
the schools OF the country Of Republic
can propaganda. It protests against the
effort TO fashion the minds Of the
children OF the country IN behalf Of
any party or economic theory, for the
public schools are supported and pa
trOnized by all, and not merely by o
part Of the people.
Republicans are urged TO look over
the text books In history, civil govern
ment and even English used in public
graded schools, high schools and uni
versitles, for evidences OF this appar-
emily well organized and up TO this time
very successful effort 10 use the public
schools 10 educate the youth Of the
country away from a belief In American
fundamentals and the great national
policies which have made this country
the freest and richest and best in the
world. Teachers who cannot refrain
from abusing their trust by engaging In
partisan propaganda should be elimi-
mated from the public schools and text
books which undertake 10 put some
thing over In behalf of some particular
partisan or economic cult should be
taken of the list OF prescribed text
books. Unless a stand Is made In this
matter soon, the public school system
and the college and university system |
OF the country may yet become, like !
that OF Germany and other countries
governed. a gigantic In
Of social, economic and /

This paper has before called atten-
tion to the organized effort that ha:
been under way for number Of year:
to utilize the public school system OF
the country as avehicle for certain par
tisan and economic propaganda. To an
astonishing extent investigation would
show, not only the colleges and uni
versities. both state and private, are
employed as moons OF exploiting social
ism and free trade. but the high school
and grade schools are utilized for the
same purpose. II is not unusual for
children ten years old to have addressed
10 them by school teachers arguments
against a protective tariff, for instance.
The public schools Of the District OF
Columbia are using as a text book in
English a volume almost entirely de-
voted to speeches and papers Of Presl-
dent Wilson, still the responsible lead
er OF one OF the chief executive parties
OF the country as well as chief execu-
tive, and quite as active in one capacity
as the other a good deal OF the time, es-
pecially when he is talking or writing.
II has lately been announced that the
United States Bureau Of Education has
a plan for introducing sociological pro-
paganda into the schools and in the
commentator OF the plan issued by
President Wilson and Secretary Lane,
Il is made plain that the purpose Is TO
influence the conceptions Of the nature
and sphere OF government entertained
by the ontoming generation.

the work an anti-Republcan partisan,
but that he has not hesitated 10 use
the book as a means Of propaganda In
behalf Of free trade, socialism and other
cardinal principles Of the present day
Democratic party. FO: instance, the au-
thor says that a tariff hampers for

every necessity OF life and by It's pro-

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
TO BE PAID BY CHECK

The Pennsylvania Railroad and other
railroads that had not heretofore
adopted the scheme. will pay their en-
ployes by checks instead OF by cash,
beginning with February, except at
some points where difficulty would be
experienced by the employees in cash
ing checks. This method has been
adopted at the instance of the railroad
administration In the interest Of uni
formity, because most Of the railroads
have heretofore paid their employees by
checks and because the employees favor
the changes, as IL will enable them to
avoid the inconvenience Of waiting for
The pay car.
