FINE SPIRIT Grom Atlanta

JournaD 1.-The people OF Fitzgerald are to be com.
mended for the spcndi spirit they have shown in
determining to lay aside all partisan differences
arising out OF the strike the Atlanta Birming-
ham & Atlantic railroal and to dedicate them
selves unsefshly to the maintenance OF law and
order and the welfare OF their community
Fitzgerald by heritage and by deed. is too pro
gressive and prosperous city to permit any issue
TO cloud for long the happiness and contentment
of its citizenry. During the past three months it
has labored under difficulties which would have
tried the control OF Utopia that disorders should
have occurred brings no blame whatever to the
community as whole
But as Colonel Russell commander of the Ma
tional guard, so apty declared, the most important
problem and the issue deserving first considera-
ton IS the preservation OF the public peace Those
who are concerned in other problems and other
issues should subordinate them to this one Tha.
Fitzgerald realizes this and that her citizens are
united in their resolution to place the public well
fare first, is surprise to anyone who is familiar
with Ftzgerald's people, their record OF achieve
ment and their high civic ideals
The sending OF troops to Fitzgerald and the
declaration OF martial law attaches no stigma to
the city. Rather does happy outcome appear to
have been achieved by the introduction of a
settling element With proper harmony and CO.
operation Fitzgerald is thoroughly capable OF guild
ing lis own destinies. And in their firm decision
not to allow differences OF opinion to effect their
devotion to Fitzgerald, her reputation and her
future, they have the sympathy and congratula
lions OF the entire state

WHAT "a MEAN MoNoToNY2-Nell rnean-

WHAT VA MEAN MONOTONY?-Nell mean
ing, but densely ignorant, editorial writers ever
now and again, bemoan the routine, unexcitnn,
UNMARRIED lie the farmer leads and wisely opine
that what the rural world needs is more excirnent
more hazarl, nayha, more varied interest.
The wise writers should accomplish mess Of
farm chores before breakfast and after supper for
few weeks; they would discover that the rural
vocations contain all the hazard and risk and e2-
citement that is left in business today.
In town the days are about the same; you catch
the same car, crank the same ilivyer, morning,
and evening; you dodge just SO many taxis and
milk trucks or miss just so many hesitating ma
irons with baby buggies,
But in the country it's different. If you milk
string OF eight cows, the farm average it is
gold letter day in the year that at least one bovine
monster doesn't swat you in the eyes with her
tall joggle the pail between your legs, or bowl
you over without warning.
When you feed the fool calves it is another rare
day when one calf doesn't buck up and butt you
half across the shed, while its brother hunts the
pail from your hands, and its half sister steps on

TOO MUCH POLITICS-From Macon Tele-
graph-lhe expense the State Of Georgia in
Cured IN sending three companies OF troops to
Fitzgerald could have been dispensed with if the
Mayor Of Fitzgerald and the Sheriff OF Ben Hill
county had admitted they were disqualified to
during the crisis Of the railroad strike and
abdicaed temporarily in favor OF men who could
serve in nnn-partisan way. Both Mayor and
Sheriff have admitted their disqualification by
the manner in which they held Joint conference
and appointed deputies that were satisfactory to
each other-deputy sheriffs approved by the
Mayor, and special policemen approved by the
Sheriff.
When the statement was first given out that
the Sheriff was said to favor the non-unon men
and the Mayor the union men, the people OF
Georgia may have been wont 10 ask: Well what
OF it? man has right to his own personal
opinions hasn't hei But the allegation came
forward that the Mayor and Sheriff were favor
ing them officials, thus passing officially on
the merits Of the strikers case Since the merits
OF the case was a matter for the Railway Labor
Board and other agencies than the officials OF
the law in Fitzgerald and Ben Hill county to de
eide, it does appear that the Mayor and Sheriff
II what is SAID he truc-attemptcd to decide the
matter for the Labor Board and these other agen-
cies For what did any local official have to do
with the merits Of the case outside of harboring
a personal opinion, which opinion, since their du-
ties lay in the direction of aw enforcement they
were not at liberty TO express or let become
known?
If city and county politics entered, as appears.
into the matter, then ii is truly necessary that
politics stand adjourned" in Fitzgerald and Ben
Hill until all semblance and threat OF disorder
has quit the neghborhood. Neither side must be
favored by any official
But the citizens OF Georgia are gratified that
the local authorities at Fitzgerald have gotten
together at last and renstated civil law on a
sound basis Under the existing situation the
Mayor and Sheriff did the best possible thing. it
seems, in coming together and arranging for a
squad of deputies and instructing them to carry
out their duty without regard TO partisan feeling
the deputies might personally entertain II it is
true that the two officials manifested partisan
ship 1t now appears that they have risen above
1t and resolved upon the execution OF duty with
an eye only to duty,
There is no other way. Politics, like whiskey,
does not mix well with law and order The ap-
pearance is that Fitzgerald has been very sick
with politics-even to the extent that it was nee
essary to call in the States doctor"

HUMAN NATURE AND NUMBERs-We re-

gret to observe that the underlying sentiment at
the noteworthy national convention OF colored
people at Detroit recently was threat
AT best it is hard for two totally opposite races
to live on the same soil in harmony When sucr
condition exists bitterness and hate, finding
outlet in threats is direct incentive to trouble.
During the Detroit convention a threatening feel
ing was manifest among the delegates and one
or two speakersNwcre even foolish enough to say
openly that unless the coored race were granted
its full rights" in America il might follow that
force would be necessary.
Lynchng by criminal whites is not to be pa
hated. But although it is not called lynching,
more white people are murdered by white people
in America than colored people murdered by
whites. The accumulation of the criminal
ords OF our cities and states will show that the
foregoing is true. Consequently, in the matter of
taking human life, the negro is no more dscrim-
mated against than the white man. Both
victims OF the assassin to a degree unheard of in
any other nation
But, understand, ynching is not the chief
grievance Of the colored brother Talk TO him
slngly or en- masse and you will soon find that
his greatest grievance is, simply. that he is not
treated socially BY the whites as they treat each
other, socially. TO threaten force-actually civil
war-against condition that is so human and
natural as that is foolish bravado, when you are
outnumbered by more than 10 to J. 1t is worse
than that-it is tactless
We wonder what would happen if this were a
country in which the population were one hun
bred million negroes and ten million whites
reversal Of present figures.
We don't thin'; the whites would receive much
consideration. It isn't in human nature that they
should.
