Can It Be True2

The seeming slight or snubbing
of United States Senator by Geor-
gia's chief executive is almost be-
yong the comprehension IF Geor-
gians.
Senator Underwood, OF Al}bama
had been invited to address a joint
session of the Legislature. He was
ttere as Georgia's guest. AS Gov
ernor of the State Cliff Walker
should have shown him. every cour-
tesy due a senator from our sis
ter state of Alabama.
1t is true that a few days be-
fore Senator Underwood had paid
his respects 10 the Ku Klux Khan IN
no uncertain terms. 1t is also true
that Walker has been charged with
being member of the khan; with
being the klans candidate.
Governor Walker, so far as we
have been able to learn, has never
denied his friendship for the khan,
nor that he is member of the
khan.
When the imperial officers OF
the khan held a closed door session
at an Atlanta hotel, Walker, along
with other politicians, was pres
ent.
Is Georgia drifting toward khan
control? Is Georgia already under
the political control of the khan?
To men who are watching events,
it seems that Georgia is no longer
free from this dominance that
wrecked Oklahoma.
The evidence seems plain that
Georgia is or very soot will be
under the dominance of the Invis-
ible Empire, its laws and statutes
subject to mask Interpretation and
mask enforcement
1t is high time Georgians were
waking to this condition and of ex-
pressing their opinions in no uncer-
tain terms.
1t is Governor Walkers duty.
and privilege TO deny having intea-
tionally sighted or snuhed Senator
Underwood 1t will never do for
this charge to be broadcast over
the nation, the accusation that
Georgia's chief executive inten-
tionally offered a discourtesy 10
Alabama's senator.

THE EXTRA SESSION

The extra session of the legls-
lature is a pluperfect farce. Gov
ernor Walker had to take sew
eral bits at the apple before he
got it started going and now it
looks like it is rotten, so far as
any good to the people is con-
cernedti Cliff has to issue sew
eral proclamaticns, on account
Of typographical" errors, as
we'll as other kinds, and it is
doubtful whether that body is
legally in session. If any tax
measure is enacted, it is proba-
Bile the courts win declare it il
legal because of the bungling Of
the executive department.
The extra session has cost the
tax payers a lot of money and it
will prove Of 10 avail.--Meri-
wether Vindicator.

TECH AND GEORGIA

1t makes no difference from
what source it comes the effort
to put Georgia Tech and the
University of Georgia back on
an even pulling basis in athletic
contests is a worthy one. There
is no more important lesson IN
all young manhood than to DE
made a good loser and a sensl-
Bile winner. If athletics can not
teach these principles, then we
do not understand all we know
about athletics. The keener tn"
rivalry, the greater the oppor-
tunity to teach these fine lessons

THE DIFFERENCE

Bill plays pool with skill uncanny
Learned by practicing year on year,
No break of the game can get his nanny,
His hand is steady, his brain iseclear
He plans and studies his rhode Of playing
With concentration on every shot,
He's always figuring, doping, weighing
Which chance is proper, and which is not.
Yet pool is merely Bills recreation,
A game he plays when the work hours end
And office job is his real vocation,
On that his room and his board depend
Since that is the task by which he's living
You'd think he's tend to it, as rule,
And give it at least the thought he's giving
TO educating himself in pool
But no-Bil dawdles and shirks and fuddles,
He views his job with listless eye.
He loafs and stalls and he fakes and muddles
And merely figures on getting by;
Yet still he growls at his poor position,
His rotten boss and his measey pay
Applied to work that he gives to play!

Treat your neighbors nice. If

Never get too mad at your neigh

Never tell the neighbors TOO

Some neighbors talk too much.
This is fine. You can cuss them in
stead Of cussing the weather.
Rich people are neighbors who
