DAUGHERTY HAS NO
KNOWLEDGE OF LAW
Caraway Says ~Whitewash" Applied
by ~Lames Ducks Is Running on

According to Senator Caraway Of
Arkansas, Attorney General Daugh-
erty not only has no knowledge Of
the law, but has no curiosity about
it" The Senator was discussing the
act tion of President Harding in. dis
missing % of the chief supervisory
officials of the Bureau of Engraving
and printing.
President Harding admits that the
charges were without foundation,
but refuses to give the victims their
old jobs.
at is serious thing for the Pres
ident of the United States to have to
be investigated said Caraway, "but
you can not surround yourself with
certain influences and escape. You
can not incur obligations and pay
them at the public expense and es-
cape
"Why, who would have suspected
that the attorney general was ap-
pointed because he was a lawyer?
You could not prove by the court
records of Ohio that he tried law
suit there in Is years. He not only
has no knowledge of the law, but has
no curiosity about it.
WhftewasIIed by Lame Ducks
"He is going to quit, Mr.. President.
He got whitewashed by some lame
ducks in the House who hoped to be
appointed to some place where they
can get living without working for
it. And now while he has got white
wash on him thick as negro puts
on a cabin down in Arkansas, he is
going back home, and if anybody
says anything about it will say:
Why, just look at this whitewash
all over me. 1t is just dripping off
Of me-
"And it is going to drip off of him,
Mr.. President. 1t is running now
He is going to quit before the Sixty
eighth Congress can have anything
to say about his whitewash, and we
know it.
There is another member of the
cabinet fixing to quit also. Mr.. Pres
ident. Whenever the lid on the Tea
pot Dome blows off-and it has al
ready been stewing-another, who
was party to giving away all the
naval reserve fuel this country had
and one man for nothing got $780,
100000 worth of it's going to quit.

ry the entire responsibility for CIV

A few years ago an automobile could be

every city home is new thing. 1t is only
in these modern days that we have learned
that the luxuries of yesterday must be the
necessities of today.
Communications have undergone the same
change. The letter, the telegram and the per-
sonal visit used to be the only means by
which business and social affairs were
handled. Today the modern means 10 the

just your words are not enough. You want
to project your own voice with all its inti-

factory than any other method and that 10

DISCUSS SOLVING
IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.

A phase Of our immigration
problem which merits more at
tention than it gets is the hard
ship worked upon hopeful men
and women who leave their
foreign homes and come to
America, hoping for the bless
ings of freedom and franchise,
only to be turned back at the
port of entry because of quota
restrictions or inability to pass
the mental, moral and physical
tests which our wise laws impose.
Various plans have been pro-
posed to mitigate the troubles of
such unfortunates. One such
plan proposes American inspec-
tors at ports of embarkation, who
would examine all would-be inn
migrants and admit or reject
abroad rather than here. The
plan is open to several objec-
tons, such as the animosity of
foreign governments to a selec-
tive process on their own shores
which would keep at home I'M
desirables and send US only de-
sirable citizens; also the difficult
ty Of maintaining an intelligent
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-06-07

and high morale force of inspec-
tors abroad at any rates of pay
which the immigration service
could expect to obtain from Con-
gress.
Another plan is the proposal
to make the steamship companies
responsible and fine every ship q
thousand dollars for every JIM
migrant brought over who has
to be turned back. The plan looks
attractive, but seems somewhat
on a par with filming a railroad
company if it transports a Grim
inal from one town to another,
and has so many legal diffucul-
ties that it hardly seems possible
it will be attempted.
Whatever the answer, it OBJ
viously can not be that of the
sentimentalist who Graves the
admission of any given "pitiful
case" in spite of the law. Our
first duty is to our own coun-
try, not the tunfdtunate vic
tim of a dreaded disease who
has a human desire to Join his
family regardless Of the health
of others.
But it would seem that with
all the ingenuity for which
Americans are famous, some plan
might be devised which would
greatly reduce, if it did not com
pletely eliminate the number of
aliens who make the passage
over here only to be told for one
or another perfectly valid reason
that they must go back again.

FROM THE FOUR
CORNERS OF EARTH

North, South East and West
all have something to tell you
in the newspapers.
News columns give you items
of interest in the political finan-
cial and social worlds. Advertis-
ing columns give you information
just as interesting, and even
more valuable to you-news of
the things that have to do with
your personal, everyday life.
The advertisements spread out
for your inspection the prod
ucts of progressive manufacture
ers the country over-the com
forts and conveniences that play
so large part in modern life.
The wares of every progressive
merchant in town are laid at
traetiyely before you.A
From your easy chair you read
the offerings, compare values,
check the statements against pre-
gious experience and then make
your selections.
Thus you save time, money
and effort spent in useless
shopping around" And you
gain in the satisfaction that
comes from a purchase we'll
made. Keep up on the shopping
news.
Read the advertisements be-
fore you buy. It pays.

WHY OTHERS SUCCEED
IN TRUCK FARMING

The Times-Recorder has been
endeavoring to find for the pros
pective truck growers of Amer
icus and Sumter county some
first hand information that
would help the small truckers of
this section to market their pro-
duce. To that end we enlisted
the aid of the New York Pack
er one of the best known of
journals devoted to the CONNER
cial production, packing, ship
ping and marketing of all kinds
of fruits, vegetables and PROB
duce generally, and we are con-
WINGED that the farmers of this
section must get together, pool
their interests as to growing for
the next season, and through this
same paper, or some other, make
known just how much acreage
and what kind of each product
is to be grown, so that bidders
may come into this territory at
fixed times and bid on carload
lots, which may be assembled
here in Americas from all over
this section.
Recently the Times-Recorder
commented on the feet that Mr..
