The Brunswick news., 1921-05-14


kept away from us all right
We congratulate Chatham county
that she has the manhood to prohibit
punishment in her convict
gangs in the future. 1t is a stey in the
interest of humanity ana it ought to
be emulated everywhere.
We are just a bit concerned that
Senator Hiram Johnson is firing at
David H. Blair. recently nominated
to be internal revenue commissioner,
with only blank cartridges. Blair will
be confirmed in the end. He voted
for Harding at the convention!
The activity being displayed on the
question of good roads by the COM
mercial organizations of Brunswick is
most gratifying. The people of this
city. Individually and collectively, are
deeply interested in this great subject
and any movement in that direction
will win their hearty support.
The Republican party is again being
sereoreanized' in the South. Have
you ever observed that whenever this
grand old party gets into control it
is ALWAYS "reorganized' in the South?
The trouble has always been that the
"reorga nization" ended in a row and
a scandal over the distribution of the
pie.
The announcement that the citizens
of Camden county are devoting them
selves to the task of producing reye-
nues to build a bridge across the st.
Mary's river at Wilds Landing, few
miles beyond Kingsland will he good
news to the people of Brunswick. This
is located on the Dixie Highway dl-
rectly on the route from Brunswick
to Jacksonville.
Really and truly we would like to
know If bone dry prohibition is worth
the good American lives it is causing
every day in the week and in every
state in the union. We wonder if it
is worth the expense, the law viola
tions. the flow of blood, etc. Is it?
Calmly, seriously, is it worth all OF
this?
If we are to believe SORE OF the
remarks recently attributed to Sam
uel Gompers. then We are forced to
to the opinion that this usually dlplo
matte, silent, sound thinker, is about
to lose his head. Gompers has made
a splendid reputation, is wise and
sagacious leader in his old age, he
should not let it suffer.
The Literary Digest for this weeB
makes great use of Governor Dorsey
letter in handing Georgia solar pick
us. It seems to feel thta according
to Dorsey we are wearing horns here
in Georgia and need to be civilized
incidentally, the Literary Digest Is
one of the m9st widely circulated
magazines in the world. Ii Dorsey
was looking for notoriety, he has am
ple cause for qualification
We wonder If some plan could no
be worked out whereby the city 0
Brunswick might be enabled TO tax
over the street car line in conjuactloi
with the light and power plant? Tn
citv might purchase the Mutual plan
or it might see fit to erect new one
firm believer in municipal owner
ship of the public utilities, it merel
occurred to us that this suggestio'
might be of service in the presen
situation.
