before the government officials
themselves had taken steps tc
investigate the legality OF it.

THE FITZGERALD HOSpT-

IAL-Among Fitzgerald's really
worthwhile attractions as a place
to live is its big, we'll equipped,
efficiently manned hospital. Ev-
erybody in Fitzgerald is proud
OF the hospital. 1t is one OF the
eity's "brag" points. How any
one could imagine that any other
one in Fitzgerald could be
against the Fitzgerald IIospi-
tai is difficult to conceive.
The progressive and public
spirited men who put their mon
ey into the hospital have earned
"a generous portion OF praise and
no one mouthpiece of public SEN
tment has been more liberal or
more sincere in its praise and
moral support than has been the
Fitzgerald Leader. And none
stands more ready to defend the
Fitzgerald Hospital against I'M
just criticism.
A statement from the manage
ment of the hospital this week
that the institution had made
money consistently from its foun-
dation was pleasant surprise to
most Fitzgerald people. The inn
preston had been that Fitzgerald
was not. quite large enough to
support so splendid an institution
at a profit at a time when most
business is taking temporary
period of loss, Even had the
Fitzgerald Hospital been losing
money it is difficult to see where
III its directors could be criticised
for that or how a statement to
that effect could be imputed
as criticism. To the Leader it
would seem rather admirable
than otherwise that a group OF
men should be willing to lose
money in order to heal the sick
and restore the injured.
The professional skill of the
physicians and surgeons con
nected with the hospital has won
i creditable prestige. That the
business ability of its directors
has enabled them to make it
show a profit when many other

TAKE TIME TO HEAL A
WOUND - Exchange lima

tience can almost become a sin.
1t IS anyway world vice today,
In every city newspaper and
from every other person you see
some grouches because this, that
or the other uncomfortable fact
caused by the war continues
with us.
The farmer is blamed because
he feels that he is still entitled
to war prices. The workingman
IS roasted because he sticks to
his high wage. Russia is put
under the ban because she is
still crazy as a loon from the
heat OF war. Newspaper editors
spend coolies Of money in cables
to show that peace IS not here
yet. The financier walls because
peace did not instantly bring
back the normal conditions Of
1914. Pretty nearly ali of us are
entirely out Of patience with the
antics, worldwide, of the ignor-
ant reds and extreme radicals
everywhere.
If the average intelligent man
would stop and think few mo-
ments he'd realize that the sup
posedly unnatural conditions
which are worldwide today are
only natural, after all When a
great storm has deluged a field
you don't go out and plough tie
next minute. You are lucky i.
you can take the old pillow thru
it two or three days later; it is
expected, and you take it as only
natural. If a fire destroys fac
tory, the hands do not go to
work at their machines the next
day as if nothing had happened !;
nobody expects them to. The
natural thing is to rebuild the
factory first. If a great flood
flood washes out a mile of rail
road track nobody expects the
trains to be running smoothly
over the spot in a few hours. 1t
takes time to make repairs.
There has been a great human
storm; a terrible human fire;
cataclysmic human washout.
The signing of peace paper did
not make actual peace. If full
peace comes in 10 years after
such a fearful conflict the world
will be lucky. If farmers and
Workingmen and industry and
commerce and finances settle
down measurably in 10 years at
ter the conclusion of such a great
war, we will all be very lucky
indeed
AND ONLY TWO AND A
HALF YEARS OF IT HAS
PASSED!
Be patient and do your part
towards peace and normalcy. It
will all corIe in good time, and
quicker if we be tolerant, good
natured and industrious our-
selves. ....r~ n. -

FACTS ABOUT RAILROAD

W LIMA lO1N - AllarlCa GeOr-
gian-Now that we face another
railroad crisis, certain facts need
to be kept in view.
The claim has been persistent
ly made in railway propaganda
that when the government took
over the railroads at the end Of
1917, it found them in good con
dltlon and turned them back

condition.
This, of course, is not true

I9I9 the government expended
%|2,5l3,676, an increase of 70 per
cent
The railroad transportation
system broke down under the
strain of war. 1t is conceded by
experts on all sides that the gov
eminent had to take them over
to get goods moved. They were
IN better condition, in many re-
spects, when they were returned
to private ownership, but were
not as good as they will have to
be.
In 1917 their gross income was
S4,OOO,O00,O0000, it is now $780,
OOOO,OOO.OO. Three years col
lections by the railroads would
buy their entire plant at the high
est possible valuation.
During the 20 months of gov
eminent operation, there was a
deficit of $715,000OOO, or less than
81 100000 a day. In the first
SIX months of restored private
ownership the deficit was S631,
9OO,OOO, or more than $3,O000OO
per day. This does not speak
well tor private ownership.
This great deficit occurred be-
fore the recent slump in traffic.

which the government generous

greater deficits and are again

get new subsidies. Some of them
are even willing to let the GOV

the deficit out of taxes.
Since the peole, in any event,
must pay the freight" why not
consider anew the short cut. to
the -inevitable--government own
ership, with the public getting
the benefits?
It's coming to that end any
way. Eventually? Why not
now?

less bed of cotton. The follow
ing edlotrial comment from west
and southwest Georgia newspap
ers fairly reflects the attitude OF
the section:
Albany Herald: Cotton is not
often referred to nowadays as
King" Cotton. 1t no longer oc-
cupies the position in the field
OF Southern agriculture which il
so long maintained, though its
importance to world industries is
as. great as ever. Nothing can
take its place in extensive use for
many purposes, but great many
things are taking its place as
money producers on the farms
OF this section.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun
even doubts whether cotton now
can properly be considered a
money crop. The Enquirer-Sun
has this to say:
1T seems certain that cotton.
with the price of it far below the
cost OF production. cannot be re-
garded in the light of a money
crop. Has cotton ever been, real
ly and truly, a money cropi Has
not cotton always been more of
a delusion and snare than it
has been a reality, when it comes
to supplying the grower with
money?
by this we do not mean to
say that many farmers have not
grown cotton prolitably; but how
did they do it? Did they grow
cotton to the exclusion of other
products of the farm, or did they
make their farm self-supporting,
by growing upon it such other
crops as were needed in the way
of food and feeds?
1t IS undoubtedly true that the
time has passed, probably never
to return, when a farmer can
plant cotton alone and come
out. The system was tried out
extensively during the years fol-
lowing the War Between the
States, and it helped keep the
South poor long after her prob
lens should have been satisfac-
torlly worked out.
The fact that no other section
OF the country can raise as great
a variety Of CROPS as the South
has in it the assurance of success
wherever diversified agriculture
is ntellgently pursued. South
Georgia is an ideal year round"
farming section, where something
can be growing in every one OF
the twelve months, and where
cattle can find something to eat
out Of doors through practically
the entire year.
The ability of the Southern
farmer to plan ris operations in
telligently is going to be given
what promises to he a supreme
test this year. and disastrous CON
sequences will result if the mis-
take OF making cotton paramount
shall be made. For it is true that
cotton is no longer "the" money
crop. even if it is still "a" money
crop.

In defiance of the Aliens act and all

practice is growing all the time, and
the port authorities seem unable to

been made, but the smugglers find the
gains so great that they willingly take
the small risks.
The swindle is really of the double

Here's today picture of French

will direct Frances part in the arma-
ment conference after Premier BRAND
turns leadership of his delegation over
to him two weeks after the conference
opens:
An old battered hulk of a flivver
winds along in zig-zag course down
Pennsylvania avenue en- route to the
Capitol.
Let us present no less a dignitary
than the distinguished plenipotentiary
from the Republic of France.
There seated in a rusty car of the
vintage of probably 1909, and of the
brand for which Detroit became more
or less notorious, is Jules Jusserand,
the French Ambassador. Usually
Nine. Jusserand is beside him.
The sublime in democratic SIM
plicity has been attained in that sort
of sight. But it causes no worry to the
dean of the diplomatic corps.
Ambassador Jusserand is quite con-
tent in his flivver. All of the $4,000
limousines can shoot past him and the
whiz disturbs him not one bit.
