Back to the Country" Why?

The cry is going up everywhere. Back to the
country. But why should the young man want
to 60 back to the fields when farm products are
grown below cost of production; when the hours of
hard toll from daylight till twilights evening
call when schools are only half way taught and
paid when church privileges are poor and social
conditions not up to the highest notch when roads
are poor and not improving; when he sees his city
cousin able to better clothes and have easier
hours; when no picture shows can be reached by
him nor within his privilege when the daily
papers reaches him twentyfour hours late and fail
to come in bad weather; when his chief occupation
is pulling the bellcord the back of jar head
and his chief amusement chopping stove wood while
he waits for dinner; when the crab grass worries
all spring and the boil weevil eats up his profits in
the fall when the other man" fixes the price on
his goods both in selling and buying; and when his
best girl prefers his city cousins Packard to his
Ford? Now, why back to the country?
We are not in sympathy with the idea of under
production. The farm products have been so large
in proportion to consumption that the farmer has
received only pittance for his hard labor We
rather rejoice in the fact that the city is outgrowing
the country in population, for when the consumer
exceeds the producer far enogh, then the long de-
MED rights of production will be granted and the
country child may have his nine months schoolin -
the farmers wife may wear as good clothes as the
merchants, manufacturers capitalists does, and
his children may have equal show in the world s
progress. You may cry Back to the country as
long and as loud you please, but conditions there
must change greatly before your call will be needed
by the rising generation.

WILL LOOK BACK.

+
( And it is a safe bet that a lot of
folk who are now cussing the Wilson
administration will some time look
back with longing eyes to .'the good
old days when Wpodwrow Wilson
was president" -Cedartown Stan
dard.
Then you spoke a mouthful, Broth
er Russell. Never in the history Of
the country have the people enjoyed
such prosperity as has come during
the presidency Of Woodrow Wilson,
and yet, some who have grown rich
during his administration, now sit
around and cuss him, not knowing
what they are talking about. Wal
ton Tribune.
The Bible warns people not to look
back and long for the better days of
the past. but, in this case, they will
do it. No one, be he Cox or Hard.
ing, can do as much for the South as
is already to the credit of Wilson
and the men who worked with him.
Everybody in the South that has been
willing to work and economic has
made and saved money. This condi-
ton will not last. Wilson has in the
main been wise and good president.
The mistakes that he made were the
result of his listening to foreign rep
resentatives who were pulling for
their own and worked on his sympa-
thies. If he succeeds in stopping
wars and fraternizing the enlighten-
ed nations, he will have more to his
credit than any other man that ever
lived.-Alpharetta Free Press.

The Journal is not disposed to view Mr.. Watson S
election to the United States Senate earnest
of Georgia's opposition to the League of Nations
There are several other elements that entered into
the race. 1t will be remembered that Mr.. Watson
has had for several years fixed following of some
10000 voters whom his personal popularity always
carried with him in state elections to any candidate
he saw fit to support. On occasion his help was
earnestly sought by Ex-Governor Brown, and he won
out with it on another occasion Senator Smith
wooed and Mr. Watsons aid and won out in
the election, and we will not find two Democrats
more directly opposite in their ideas than these two
eminent eX-governors. Mr.. Watson, no doubt, will
vote against the League of Nations, but that is not
proof that Georgia would oppose it if the personal
element of Mr.. WasonS strength were left out
And we are not saying that all his 10000 followers
would go with him to either side but large pori lou
