ed for his vigorous policy on the en-
forcement Of that States cattle dipping laws
In some parishes, it seems, officials charged
with the administration of these statutes, on
which the conquest of the wasteful and de-
structive cattle tick depends, have been
shamefully remiss, winking at transgressors
and failing to lend the campaign any sup
port whatsoever. 1t seems, also, that through
petty politics some of the inspectorships have
fallen into the hands Of men utterly incom-
petentn, in consequence OF which the dipping
process has occasionally proved injurious or
even fatal to the cattle treated. The Gov
ernor intends to see to it, in the first place.
that the incompetents are replaced, as far as
possible, by well-Qualified men, and in the
next place that delinquent officials who per-
sist in conniving at violators of the law are
impeached. With these evils out of the way,
it may be taken for granted that in Louis
lana, as In other States where local preju-
dices once grew rank, the truly beneficent
nature Of the dipping system will come
rightly to be appreciated and the work OF
Graduating the tick move forward apace.

the South can easily become Americas chief
source of beef and diary supplies, when the

to the aggregate more costly. It's extirpa-

Governor Dorsey's entrance into the race

The World asked it's readers to send IN

NOT SO LONG AGO
By DR.. Frank Crane

Don't forget
That once it was thought as outrageous,
dangerous and revolutionary to give all male
citizens the ballot as 1t is now deemed by
many to give the vote to women.
That once trial by fire. and torturing wit
nesses in court by the most inhuman de-
| vices, was as generally believed in and ac-
cepted as absolutely necessary, as gloomy
penitentiaries, filthy county jails, hanging
and electrocution are now.
| That once it was universally agreed to by
public opinion that 1t was requisite of pub
lie morals and the safety of the State to
torture those who did not acknowledge the
/ State religion, and to burn them alive. There
may be some religious fanaticism today, but
look back!
| That once half-witted old women and
| queer men were imprisoned, burned or
pressed to death under a heavy stone for
witchcraft.
That while we now criticize our rulers
freely the time is not so far passed thar
men were severely punished for lese majestic,
and 1t was worth ones life to attack the
reputation of king.
/ That while some Of our p1utocrats are ar
bitrary and intolerant, 1t was not so many
generations ago that mobiles in Europe were
riding down peasants, debauching the
daughters of the poor, and were gay and
festive about it.
That while laborers today have their hard
ships and often feel wronged, the laborer or
yesterday was a slave WIN no rights at all.
That while the Interchurch movement and
the League Of Nations seem to be travelling
rough road, never before in history have
the sects even tried to get together, or the
nations made any practical attempt to stop
war.
That while the high cost of living is an
affliction, it was not so long ago that the
great masses in every nation were under
fed. underpaid and entirely dependent upon
| what the privileged classes chose to give
| them.
| That while any good man who acquires
prominence is fiercely attacked, our fathers
poisoned Socrates, burnt Joan of Arc ano
4 crucified Jesus Christ.
| That while we have our lynchings, drunk
en- brawls, riots and other forms Of violence,
| the civilized worlds favorite amusement
once was gladiatorial games and throwing
captives to the wild beasts.
That while our system Of public schools
/ is far from perfect, there were no public
schools at all in your great-great-great-grand
1 fathers day, and it was considered a menace
! to the state to educate the poor.

bad, they have been deal worse they arr
better than they were, and they will certain.

as a slogan that can play an inn
portant part in building up the states agri-
culture and industry, developing the states
prosperity.
While we are proelaiming Georgia to the
nation as land of opportunity and inviting
the people of other states to come to Geor-
gia, it is fitting that we should busy our
selves at home in efforts that will prepare
for the new arrival the homestead for him

for him to make good.
In discussing the Advertise Georgia" cam.
paign, the Abel News, published In the heart
OF South Georgia, aptly says:
Georgia, with its nearly three million
people, is truly the Empire State of the
South. 1t is rich in agricultural re-
sources sand yet it's possibilities have

have as great manufacturing possibili-
ties, either. We need to let the world
know just what great state we have
There is room here for thousands of

Georgia so that the waste places may be
built up by progressive people from
other states. There are thousands OF
acres of as good land as can be found
anywhere that ought to be in cultivation.
And there is room in Georgia for double
it's population without croWding any

The News is voicing the sentiments Of
