EDITO RIAL.
NO MlsTAKlNC THIS Law.


the prohibition act, has been so
loosely regarded in Georgia as the
autQnobile license law. There have
been evasions of the law, private in
terpretations of the law and varied
constructions placed upon it by of.
ficials charged with its enforcement.
And yet it is as plain and positive as
d laSnkean be--and means exactly
what it says. In short, regardless of
the circumstances or intent, it is a
violation of the law to drive an au-
tomobile in Georgia at any time with
out tag displayed as directed by
law The Court of Appeals has so
held in a recent case. If you haven't
tag, or have lost yours, leave your
car 5at home until you get a new one.
Fhe decision is the case of Dayis
VS. ,the State, carried to the Court of
Appeals from the City Court of Tiff
tone In the opinion the court says:
1.-The evidence, both for the state
and the defendant, was uncontradict-
ed, and was IN Substance as follows:
The defendanf had paid the, license
tax as required BY. law, to operate
the automobile over the highways of
the state. He had been furnished
with two tags, one small disk and
the other large tag to be displayed
on the rear of his car, each of the
tsgss carrying his license number and
Indicating his payment of the license
tax. On the night before his arrest
the tag displayed on the rear. of his
car was lost. He lived in the country,
and he drove his car from his home
in the country to tie city of Triton,
ard went at once to the sheriff and
told him that he had lost the tag from
his automobile, and inquired how he
could procure duplicate. The sher-
if gave him instructions about how
to get the duplicate tag for his car.
The defendant inquired of the sher-
iff it was all right to operate the car
until the duplicate tag could be sent
to him from the secretary of states
office. The sheriff told him that
it would be all right. He met
county policeman and stated to him
the situation, and stated that he was
Doing what the sheriff had advised
him to do. The county policeman
asked him.if he had driven the truck
from his farm to town on that morn
ing without the. tag displayed on the
rear of theStruck; he stated to the
policeman that he had. The police
man then statedto him that he would
have 70 swear out a warrant for him.
and lhave him tried for violating the
automobile law. He was arrested,
and supon this evidence wasoconvict-

!. Times have changed amaz-

we live is most wonderful in the way
it has conquered space.
Maybe you are one of. the lucky
who can recall a boyhood in a coun-
try town-and the thrill of going
down to the village depot to watch
"No. II" steam in with a shrill
screeching of brakes.
Out yonder, beyond the horizon,
lay the Great Unexplore6.
You recall your envy of the vii
lage banker when he returned from
a trip to New York or some other
metropolis.
To travel so miles by railroad,
back in President HariSon's day, was
a boyhood treat beyond the dreams
of avarice.
Today the boy yawns as he climbs
into the Pullman for trip of 500 or
1000 miles. It's interesting, but not
out of the ordinary. What he yearns
for is to fly in that steel airplane
overhead.
Travel, "far from home" once was
thrill even for the grown-ups. Now
it's rather dull necessity of blase
age.
In 1889, the thrill of railroad
I.travel was somewhat deadened by
subconscious fear of "gettin' killed
by the cars"
In that year 472,O00,O00 people
were carried by the railroads, and
the chance of being killed in a smash
up was. one in 1,523,000.
Now the railroads haul 100000
600 passengers a year, and the chance
of being killed has been cut to one
in 5,673,O0O. )
Airplane travel will be similarly
made safer and safer as the years
slip by.
The rising generation may be fated
for airplane travel. That's where it's
getting its thrill now-watch the fly
ing machine.
It's a real thrill--probably not as
much to the youngsters as to us
'grown-ups, for the youngsters have
so many tricks of magic, like the
wireless telephone, that they must be
getting beyond thrills.
But the thrill of watching NO.

statue was authorized BY Congress
twenty-one years ago, but various
causes contributed to the delay In the
completion of the memorial. Chiel
Of these was the strong opposition to
the erection in the Botanic Garden,
on the ground that the site was on
the axis between the Capitol, the
Washington monument and the Lin
coin cemorial.
In October. 1907. contractors began
making excavations for the founda-
lions of the memorial. but hardly had
they started when an order from the
Supreme Court OF the District of Co
lumbia stopped the work, requiring
the contractors to show cause why
they should not be enjoined from cut
ting down certain historic trees in
clearing for the site. 1t was not un-
til May, 1908. that the contractors
were able to resume work. The
original contract called for the COM
pletion of the memorial within q Pc
riod of five years. but II became
necessity to extend that limit sew
eral times.
Cost Of Memorial $:50.1spO.
The memorial. which was author
lied by Congress in 1901. involved
the largest expenditure for statuary
ever made by this government
$250.000. The legislation was enacted
at the instance of the Army of the
Tennessee. the organization COM
manded by Gen. Grant until he was
made general of the armies, late in

nation, and succeeding generations
are richer because of his example.
One may guarantee the security Of
this republic so long as leaders
among men put the country's good
above personal and political ad-
vantage
1T is not to be said Of Grant that
he sought to preserve a political or
social order, or even a government,
which had especially favored him.
He was too little favored by the ex-
listing order. Nor can it be said that
he sought personal or political popu-
larity. These things were apart from
his early life.
ut is conceivable that men are
prejudiced in their attitude toward
great problems by their own ex-
periences-more by> their disappoint-
ments than their successes. Grants
own experience in life might have
led a less deliberate character to
welcome an upheaval, or disunion, or
any reversal to the government. But
this silent man did not appraise his
country by the scale Of his own mis-
fortune. :. He had yearned for
no star, dreamed of no destiny. He
merely went the normal way, face
ever forward. ready to quicken his
step when opportunity called or re-
sponsibility summoned"

the sectionalism of Grants and Lees
time has been effaced. and the geo.

the formation of the Union. and later
threatened its disruption, have given

public.
Supreme American Example.
Grant was himself the supreme ex-
ample Of American opportunity.
Standing before his humble birth
place. amid the surroundings of his
obscure boyhood life, one doubts IL
three-quarters of century ago any
one should have sought here for the
military chieftain of a century. We
have not a few, even today. who think
cumscribed. And Yet this little Cler-
mont county furnished in Ulysses S.
Grant and Henry 6. Corbin two of the
thirteen lieutenant generals who have
been commissioned in all our history.
Grant had even less of Likelihood
to eminence than his unpromising and
unprophetic beginning. There was
the suggestion of mediocrity in his
development, and even the Steadfast-
ness of his early manhood was stamp
ed with failure. But there was the
inheritance of quality, and he dwelt
and grew rugged in the freedom of
democracy.
Even the reckoning opportunity of
war left him seemingly unfavored by
fate. Politically he was out of ac-
cord with the master martyr. who
became his commander-in chief. But
he believed in union and the nation
supreme He brought to the armed
service preparedness to command,
sturdiness of purpose, patience and
forbearance. great generosity Of soul,
and a confidence never to be shaken.
The seizure Of opportunity. more to
serve than to achieve. made him vic
tor. and the quiet man. CARRIED in
failure at Galena, marched to the
surprising heights of military glory.
All conquering in command and mag
unanimous in his triumph, the world
