The Legislative Session.

The session of the Georgia general assem-
bly, which will convene one week from today
will probably be an average one There are
two important matters to be considered and
concluded One of these is to rescue the state
from its present deplorable financial condition
and place its fiscal affairs upon sound basis.
The other is to devise a system that will
more evenly distribute and lessen the burden
of taxation.
State appropriations are important matters
for legislative consideration. Economy must
be observed in the expenditure of public funds
at this time for the more extravagant the
Appropriations the more burdensome the tax
es the people must pay. 1t is useless to
preach or practice economy in national ap-
preparations and reverse the process in state
appropriations The people carry both bur
dens. and taking off some of the national
burden while increasing the state burden does
not leave more money with the taxpayer
At the same time the institutions OF Geor-
gia are too important to be skimped in their
resources. They must not only be kept up to
their present standard, but must forge ahead.
Little general legislation is needed at this
time, Every menDeT OF the dSSCHiDly may
have one or more things he desires to write
into the state laws. The tendency OF new
members is to get some bill of which they
are the sponsor into law. That gives them
record. Scores of such laws contain no orig
inal ideas, and have no local application. The
legislator digs into the code OF some other
state until he finds chapter that is unusual
which he copies and introduces as his own
The law may be applicable 10 conditions in
the state where it is law but wholly inappli-
cable in the state in which it is introduced.
Generally, outside Of the appropriation meas
ures any state does not need half dozen
comprehensive or what might be termed con-
structive laws. Most of the other work OF
the general assembly should be corrective,
and applied only to changes in measures
where experience has disclosed defects. The
point is that every business crouch and con
troversy should not be worked into law, and
the time of the general assembly wasted.

In Good Hands.

Members of the council of the Ladies Mt.
Vernon Association, which owns the estate
of George Washington at Mt Vernon, state
that the council is giving no consideration
to the suggestion that the government ac-
quire ownership of the property. The asSocia-
ton charges fee of Is cents for admission
to the grounds, including the tomb of Wash
ington, from which it derives fund for the
maintenance of the estate. Objection has been
made recently to the payment of this fee, it
being contended that the grounds should be
open to the public.
The women appear to be doing a good job
as custodians of the Mt Vernon estate, and
it is not apparent that anything would be
gained by transferring the ownership to the
government. The property is being most
carefully conserved, and at a very slight cost.
Additions to the Washington relics housed in
the home constantly are beiEg made, an I'M
usual number of gifts having been received
during the last year. No one should object
to the small contributions toward the main
tenance of the property that is represented
by the admission fee.

Hotheads to Blame.

In the race riot it is nearly always the case
that impulsive persons are responsible for
its beginning Eliminating hotheads from
dangerous situations is a method that safely
may be depended upon to save them. Condl-
tons are such that little is needed to cause
trouble. They are like powder houses wait
ing for the spark that will blow them up.
Foolish acts Of foolish persons of either race
are sufficient to break all restraint and loose
the elements of murder and property de-
struction. Practically all race riots are alike,
having their primary causes as really little
things famed to white heat by accumulat-
ing bits of reckessness. Then when the riot
is started hatreds flame hot and actions get
beyond control
The riot at Tulsa, Okla, is a repetition
of the riots at Washington, Chicago and 9TH
err northern cities in the last two or three
wears. None of the riots was necessary.
Neither the whites nor the negroes produced
a better situation for themselves by indulging
in killing and arson. Even when an outrage
Gus crime is the basis for the riots it can
hardly be considered a good excuse for the
outbreaks Laws for punishment and cor
rection are in existence, and these should be
allowed to work 1t can be said with con-
yiction that any circumstance of crime ought
to be left untouched except by officers OF the
law and by those who honestly endeavor tc
aid in the enforcement of order.

WOULD SAVE CORNBREAD.
Col. Watterson and George Bailey Tell
Experts" Few Things.

Sugar in cornbread has aroused "Marse
Henry" Watterson, and from retirement on
his farm near Jefferstown, KY, he has sent
the following communication to his old news
paper The Courier Journal, that shows that
age has not lessened his appreciation of real
Cornbread:
addressing a certain Miss Michaes' who
seems to be one of those amateur cooks that
make livelihood telling genuine cooks how
to cook, George w. Bailey writes in the
Houston, Tex, Post.
"'About that cornbread recipe, which in
cludes three-fourths of cup of sugar. Tell
them not to do it. Sugar in cornbread is an
abomination; it ought to be made crime
1t violates every tradition of the south. 1t
insults the palate 1t mocks the culinary art
When the Lord made corn he put all the
sugar in it he intended it to have.
'Cornbread with sugar in it was an idea
born of the devil, planted in New England
and sent south by our enemies 1t is threat
ening the life of real cornbread right in the
land of its birth. 1t has done and is doing
worse. 1t makes men triAing and women
frivolous. 1t is responsible for most of the
murders, suicides and divorces. 1t is the
mother of bolshevism, and the daddy of an
archy. 1t weakens the brain, infuriates the
liver and grows people potgutted. 1t brings
corns and badness and saffronizes the COM
pleXion. 1t makes the nose shiny and the skin
pimply.
cit drives husbands downton Of nights 1t
causes the servants to be insolent and OBJ
streperous. 1t creates an appetite for moon
shine.
at is the underlying cause of pyorrhea. 1t
emboldens a man to refuse his wife's requests
for money. But for sugar in cornbread there
would be no war, no flies or mosquitoes, no
ants or reaches, no l. W. W., no republican
party.
LET the twentieth amendment to the con-
stitution forever prohibit sugar in cornbread,
and let's have the vote right dWaV
This would seem all embracing and is suf-
ficiently conclusive. New England may know
how to bake beans. They say the cider in
Maine is a good substitute for whisky. 1t
must be admitted that in Boston pumpkin
pie is no SLOUGH. But, cornbread? La That
requires all that George Bailey says, and a
pair of old black hands to boot-and old black
mamnly's voice. rich, mellow and devotional.
How firm a foundation We saints of the
Lordp

PRoFITEERING IN PEANUTS.

From the Indianapolis Star
Complaints heard in all parts of the
country that retail prohteers refuse to lower
the prices of peanuts, although they pay only
about one-third of what peanuts cost them
some time ago. A remedy for this indefensi-
public quitting the purchase of peanuts. This
can be done without organized effort though
society ought to be so organized as to take
concerted action whenever profteers in any
line Of business become too greedy to be pa
tiently endured. The thing to do is to quit
ed for any commodity. 1t is no hardship to go
without peanuts for a few weeks. Austen
ton from buying will soon bring peanut ven
ders to time.

Learning by Experience.

MANY young men who have taken up
their residence behind prison bars the past
year have found that crime doesn't pay.
Probably majority of these men thought
they could get away with it. Now they are
finding out differently. Why can't other
Young men take lesson from them" asks
a Georgia newspaper.
If morta1s would learn the lessons Of liv-
ing and morals from observation and precept
there would be no sin in the world. But they
will not The fallibility and ineffectiveness OF
precept was demonstrated in the garden OF
Eden, and it has not gained much strength
in the centuries that have come and gone
since that period.
Long ago some observing person wrote that
Experience is the best teacher" Untortu-
nately, for great percentage OF mankind, 1t
is the only teacher. The question asked
above can be adapted to almost all the
shortcomings of humankind. The desire for
experience asserts itself early in life, as man
ifested by the fact that the creeping baby
must put its hands on hot stove before 1t
can comprehend the penalty OF playing with
fire." The advice of its solictOuS mother is OF
no avail. This process continues almost
throughout life.
1t would seem that with newspapers and
various other agencies of publicity all men,
women and children would absorb by OBJ
servation enough of the lessons of life to
keep out of harms way, especially as regards
their morals, but the fact that they do not
accounts for prisons. The individual who
yields to the temptation to depart from the
path of recttude evidently feels that he is
shrewd enough to escape the penalty OF
wrong doing. The fate that has overtalen his
fellows of like mind is not a sufficient re-
straint.
The principle involved applies to all walks
of life One would think, when one sees the
degradation that overtakes an erring girl,
that one lesson should be sufficient Tor all
girls and women of a generation, but 1t lacks
the element of personal experience. So with
the man who buys a gold brick, or stock IN
an oil company, or invests in any other form
of sure-thing graft Deaths from burning as
result of trying to hasten fires with oil are
tragic and fearful enough to make everyone
shun that practice, but almost every day the
newspapers carry reports OF some one VINO
has lost life in that manner. Automobile drl-
vers continue to insist on trying to beat trains
to grade crossings until fatalities resulting
from that source have become so frequent
that legislatures are trying to devise means
to protect men from themselves.
Hence, it is no great wonder that boys and
young men continue to find their way to pen
itentiaries The faults, either moral or phys-
cal, of mankind cannot be eradicated The
best that can be done is to lessen them. The
only preventive of moral defects is for parents
to rear their children in a moral atmosphere,
exercising every means at their command to
instill into the minds OF their offspring the
knowledge that honesty, in all its aspects, not
only is thoroughly satisfying but compensa-
tory as well.

Impractical.

Mr.. Bryan is still fond of his idea of ma
tional bulletin, or daily newspaper issued by
the government, 80 that the public may
know what is going on at Washington"
We had a sample Of that kind of an I'M
dertaking during the war, under the direction
of Mr.. Creel and his committee on public in
formation 1t is hard to conceive of anything
duller than Mr. Creel's official Bulletin
and it is difficult to imagine anything more
misleading than some of the alleged ''infor-
nation" disseminated by his committee.
Moreover, daily newspaper published by
the government would cost about twice as
much as newspaper published otherwise.
Mr.. Bryan was in Georgia last week, and
delivered the address at the commencement
exercises OF Emory University.

BOOZE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

From the Tocoma Ledger
Bone dry people may be shocked to learn
that there was booze at the white house the
other day. However, this particular booze
was not a relative of John Barleycorn. His
first name is Eugene, and he claims to be
the original Harding man of Mississippi Be-
ing colored man his standing with the lily
whites is not of the best, and he finds that
his efforts to control the patronage of Mis-
sissippi are being frustrated by opposition
at home. 1t was to discuss this matter that
he called on the president

Never before since the state has been pay
ing pensions to Confederate veterans has it
been necessary to leave any of them unpaid
until the Legislature, meeting the last of June,
could provide the money Another thing never
before known in the administration of the
government of Georgia is the payment of $50
per cent interest by the state on borrowed
money with which to pay school teachers.
That is the condition which exists today.

LISTEN, GIRLS!

From the Griffin News and Sun
The editor of this paper has no objec-
tons to the girls wearing their dresses
short. They can wear 'em short at both
ends for all we care but we do think they
ought to wear them long enough for it not
to be necessary to hold their hands up to
their skirts down when sitting. Some
girls are developing double chins from
peeking down to see if there is too much
skin exposed to view."-Dawson News.
Editor Rainey is close observer and q
deep thinker, and in this instance he has told
the girls plainly about the matter.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1921-06-14

One of the encouraging signs of the times
everywhere in evidence as one travels about
the country is the unusually fine grain crop
now being harvested. The oats are partic-
ularly good. The young corn and cotton
have not been considered very promising, but
the past few days of hot sunshine have
brought them out wonderfully, and it is safe
to predict that Terrell county will come up,
as usual, with good crops.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1921-06-14

In noting that the country is going wild"
on paternalism, the Jackson Progress-Argus
says: "An idea has sprung up that there must
be special officers to enforce almost every
law. Officers have multiplied like locusts, and
this accounts in large measure for the high
tax rate. Old Thomas Jefferson wasn't far
wrong when he said that the less government
the better" Maybe the incoming governor,
who is an old-line democrat and believes the
citizen should not depend on the government
to do everything for him, will do something
to check the paternalistic trend in Georgia.

The plan of the navy department for a
$100,OO0000 naval base at San Francisco re-
veas that our navy officials are anticipating
and preparing for "the next war;" just as the
officials of every other navy and government
seem to be doing. If we will permit ourselves
to be frightened sufficiently we will be able
to spend a good deal more than $500,OOO,OOO
year preparing for "the next war; and more
than one $100,0O0,000 naval base will be
thought to be necessary. The senate did well
to veto the naval base proposal. If naval
expenditures are to be restricted beginning
must be made, and this was good place to
begin

PITY THE POOR CITY MAN.

From the Townsville Press
There is no end to bill paying with the
city man. He must pay his family expense
bill first of all, then comes the rent bill, light
and water bill, phone bill, his state and coun-
ty tax, street tax, to say nothing of his
church dues, lodge dues, life insurance, fire
insurance and few other incidentals he may
tack on if he keeps up with the procession.

THE PRIVILEGED SEX.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Though woman has the vote in Nebraska,
she is exempt from poll tax and jury duty,
can charge bills for necessities to her hus-
band and has other legal privileges denied to
men. Without quarreling with any of these
things it may not be amiss to point out that,
not to put too fine point on IT, equal rights
is somewhat of a misnomer.
