The Prominent Chin


 The prominent chin of the kind that looks as though it's owner were thrust ing it forward, or which slopes slightly forward as it goes down from the lips. is anything but an indication of aggress- tyeness, in spite of an erroneous popular opinion.
 You can go pretty far in opposing or antagonizing a man with such 8 chin, much further than you can with . re- ceding chin man, without provoking him to retaliation. But if you go too far, look out for trouble His comeback Is sloW, but once evoked it makes up for this in strength and precision.
 Men and women with these chins are not scrappy. but they are exceedingly determined and often unususWg courage ous They're not good people to monkey with, even though they'll endure much in patience, for you can't tell at just what point that patience ends and then the ability to endure becomes just as strong in one directien as it was in the other. The point really to be emphasized about such chins is that they denote slowness and sureness of action, coupled with pa l tient endurance and deternination.

sad memorials were to be found in every country and every cline.
 On the Fourth of July the jewellers in each great town and city drank at least one toast to the memoryeof the man they affected to consider as the latter martyr to liberty. At. Charleston the ship cap tains passed resolutions of sympathy and denunciation. The denuncations of the government were richly deserved, but ought nj t to have been limited to the party then in control, for never since the country had presidents had the. sailor been protected in his rights. The fate of Pierce was not forgotten during the six years that intervened before the coun- try was so goaded by the insolence of the English to declare the war of 1912.

allows the states to authorize Their
electors to fill vacancies that may oc-
cur, by death or other reason, in THEN
respective electoral college. 1t is not
irconceivable, however, that all OF
the electors Of state might perish
in a common disaster, in which case
there would be no surviving electors
to choose the members to the vacant
seats, and the vote of the state would
be lost. Or it might happen that IN
state where the electoral vote is
split between two parties, an elector
of one party might die and the ma
jority being Of another party might
choose a successor of the opposite
political faith. Thus, in a close ele-
stion, the result might hinge upon the
contingency of one mans life!
If the people of the country are
welded to the electoral system, the
theory Of electoral representation
might be preserved in a dummy or
fictitious electoral college, and yet
the cumbersome electoral machinery
abolished. The office of elector, in
the constitutional sense, having dis
appeared, there would be no necessity
of the electors converting at the state
capital for the purpose Of casting the
vote of the State, and the State would
be saved the attendant expense and
the possible loss Of its vote. Nor
would there longer be any occasion
for the perpetuation of the quadren-
NAL farce of both Houses of Con-
gress meeting to canvass the vote
Of the states and to announce the re-
suit to the country.
Despite these considerations, word
comes from Marion that a meeting of
the entire electoral college at Wash
lngton at inauguration time has been
proposed to the President-elect by
the Ohio electors. When Mr.. Harding
heard the suggestion, he gave it his
approval, saying that if the electors
would hold such a gathering he would
be greatly pleased to do what he
could to make it an historic event, and
would be delighted to receive at the
White House the men who, so far as
legal form is concerned, had elected
him President. There is no provis-
ion of the Constitution or of law

stitutional. It would seem that the
actual constitutional machinery Of
the electoral college is cumbersome
and obstructive enough as it is-and
there could be no justification for adj
ding anything ON to a system that
is already obsolete. Senator Harding
was delighted with the proposal, how
ever, and according to the dispatch,
promised to do everything that he
could to make the occasion a success.
Incidentally, he suggested, it would
"be a useful object lesson in con-
stitutinal methods" And thus the
quadrennial farce promises to be per-
petuated-with additions.

BIG CORPORATIONS
HAVE GREAT POWER

When the Georgia Railroad
Commission opened up it's heart
and gave nearly every Public Ser
vice Corporation the right to in
crease rates, said commission
started something that will be
hard to stop. The people will
eventually see that when a cor
poration gets large enough, its
influence becomes too great to be
controlled. Our Commissions are
nothing less human than the rest
OF us, and are naturally influenced
by their friends. Corporations
soon learn the friends of the men
with whom they deal, and as
soon as possible get these men
into their service. For an exam
pie, one Of the Attorneys for the
North Georgia Octopus happens
to be very close relative to one
of our Railroad Commissioners.
| am not saying this had any
weight with the decision, but the
Atlanta Gas Co. received a sub
stantial increase which the people
of Atlanta do not believe is lust
and right.
Most assuredly, we are drifting
towards Public Ownership of all
Public Utilities.

this country, we could never see
such deplorable conditions as have

HOW THE WEST WAS
DEVELOPED


Perhaps the people of Fitzger-
aid do not know that THEY, as
citizens and tax payers of the
United States, helped to contri.
butte something like fifty billion
dollars ($50,O00,0OOOOO) in the
present valuation of government
land grants GIVEN, FREE,
without charge or strings attach
ed, to the seven great western
railroad systems that made it
possible to change the great west
from a desert prairie, peopled by
wolves and buffalo, to a region of
immense wealth and promise, a
section whose wealth is reflected
IN every nook and corner of the
grand old u. S. A.
The U. S. government has no
land in the South worth giving
to the railroads to help them to
develop the South. 1t has pitiful-
ly little land left in the West since
the railroads got through with it.
But it still has the power, and the
right, ii it will take advantage of
It, to make the wealth that was
created by YOUR gift and mine
to the West and to the North, to
IN turn to help pay the cost of de-
veloping South Georgia, and the
other undeveloped regions.
Government ownership of rail-
roads is today no far-fetched
dream in radical minds. In
Washington, d. c. last week, we
have it on good authority, was be-
gun a series of conferences be-
tween the money masters of tho
East, not interested in railroads
but deeply interested in national
prosperity, and a federal Judge.
These conferences look toward
government ownership of rail
roads, not as a means alone of
lnsuring high wages to workers,
but as means of insuring good
business and general prosperity
to America.
The man who has not awakened
to the realization that this Atlanta
Birmingham and Atlantic wage
controversy involves something
more than dispute between a
little group of fifteen hundred or
50 of men and the operators of a
single little railroad line, is GER
tainly sound sleeper. 1t invol-
yes all wage earners, in Fitzger-
aid and elsewhere. The world
has its eyes today on the Atlanta
Birmingham and Atlantic. and
a large part of America has its
eyes on Fitzgerald and a little
group of five hundred or so strik-
ing railroad men in Fitzgerald.
