ic agitation of public opinion tends to undermine and oyerreach the system of government which the makers of the declaration of inde pendence and the constitution so carefully devised.
 What Fourth Means
 Independence Day, sanctioned by statute in every State in the Union as the birthday of the nation, is an expression of the solidity and unity that this country has achieved. It is day for rejoicing and also for viewing at public meetings the his. torical and contemporary signifi- canoe of the day, for re-establisfling the ancient landmarks of American constitutional government which our foregathers erected, and for repledg- and aspirations of those courageous souls who dared to declare their independence of the Mother Country and to VOW anew in the words of him upon whom the mantle of our revolutionary forefathers visibly des' cended, that Government of the peo pie, and by the people, shall not perish from the earth
 Expression of Liberty "The Declaration of Independence is the expression of that passion for individual and political liberty which fo ty,,f, Ia od IT, tho httn, hpoa of v the message continued. Asserting fl first declared the doctrine of equal ity, the message set forth that equal ityq of wealth or equality of inherent ability The declaration referred tc political equality, which means equal opportunity under the law, and equal ity in this sense is an essential oi American ideal of government" Next speaking of the right ol life" the message said:
 "If the greed of profiteers and the ignorance of parents place undevel oped children in factories and mines the American idea of the right ol all to alife is gene. Against this greed the public schools stand as the best proponent of the nationa purpose to give to all the people z chance to live a rounded intelligent complete, American life.'
 American Principle After discussing the meaning o Liberty" as used in the Declara tion of Independence, the message said:
 "The American principle is that all power rests in the people as z whole. The government of the United States is Republic and no, a Democracy. A tendency to depart from this system in various .wayt in recent years has been the cause of much discussion. By many think ing men it is strongly urged that only as we hold steadfastly to the representative form of government as established by our forefathers can our Republic endure. This is a question that demands serious thought upon the part of each and every citizen today"

LOWER PRICES

II am a Republican," said
well known bank man the other
day. but President Harding
hasn't any more chance of being
elected next year than ] have. "
He went on to say that what the
country needed was to get the high
tariff act repealed, and he felt this
surely would be done if Demo.
crat administration comes in 1925.
Then, he said, the American manu-.
fscturer would get the competition
that they need, aud the initiation in
prices that has occurred during re
cent months would disappear. The
freer use Of imported articles would
keep the general price level reason
able.
The scale of prices has taken a
sharp advance during the past year.
While agricultural products needed
to sell for more TO give the farmer a
fair return, yet as 4 whole the adj
vance has been a big damage to the
country. The public will not be
able to use a normal quantity Of
goods with the prices again going up,
which must have tendency to
create lot Of unemployment again.
A reasonable freedom of trade
with foreign countries act as ire
mendous stabilizer of business. 1t
becomes impossible to jack up the
prices of goods, when the public
and the merchants know that they
can buy foreign stuff if the Ameri-
can article is held at unreasonable
figures. 1t does not do American
producers as a whole any harm, as
an increase of imports must be ball
anced by an increase of exports.
The more goods we buy from abroad,
the more foreigners will be able to
buy of us.
1t may be claimed that prices are
still considerably under the 1920
level Yet the wages of most peo-
pie have been reduced, so that the
consumer as whole is not much
better off. The present tariff pro-

COUNTRY ROADS

Many newspaper correspondents
in the farm districts during recent
weeks have spoken about the condi-
ton of the roads. Roads very
bad" Roads in awful condition, "
have been common notes. The
problem of country roads IS at It's
worst in spring, and the hard travel
ling is one Of the biggest problems
of rural life in America.
Not all the bad roads Of Georgia
can be rebuilt by public taxation.
The burden would be too great.
There will be many Of these sol,
places every spring. Individual
country people VIII have to take
hold more and help out themselves.
If every man with a horse and cart
would fill up II few Of the worst
spots along his land, the aggregate
improvement would be tremendous.

GonoIrhoea is responsible for a large

At the entrance OF the United States
into the world war, we realized for the
first time the menace to our national
life due TO the prevalence of the so

arms. Our government at once saw the
necessity OF stamping out these dis

fundamental to all success. The pub

without it as an asset we could not
efficiently meet the severe physical and

Approximately 5000 patients die OF
Tuberculosis in Georgia annually. Tor

are 10 other persons i'll with Tubereu'

sociologists value human life. at So
900. IL this figure is correct, Georgia
has d loss Of $9,o0o,Co0 a year by reason
Of deaths by tuberculosis alone! Inc
loss from sickness from tuberculosis
amounts to such a figure as to almost
stagger comprehension.
Georgia is furnishing not single bed
for the care Of Tubercular Negroes, and
vet $50 Of our population are Ne

times more frequent among the Ne
groeg, who arc brought in close contact
with the White race as cooks, and SER

modern sanatorium to accomplish TINS
The number of patients rejected in
1921 was Sc, some because they we're
too far advanced to be benefited by

There are no accommodations for
the care Of children they cannot be
properly treated under the present
conditions. The new SanatoIium would
be built with this problem in mind, for

can be done for Tuberculosis, both a3
disease and as a problem in Public

WISE WORDS or WISE MEN

Hatred is a madness Of the mind.
Cowards fight when they can fly no
farther.
1t is the idle man who is the miser-
able man.
lie is most safe from danger who,
even when safe, is upon his guard.
Man was made to be active and he
Is never so happy as when he is so.
Shun delays, they breed remorse.
Take thy time when time is lent thee
He that is ashamed to be seen in a
mean condition would be proud in a
splendid one.
All other knowledge is hurtfuI to
him who has not the science OF
honesty and good nature.
He who reforms himself has done
more toward reforming the public
than a crowd Of noisy takers.
The greatest pleasure of life is love,
the greatest treasure is cOntentment,
the greatest possession is health.
A wise precept for all who build is
that the owner should be an orna-
ment to the house, and not the house
to the owner.
True happiness neer entered at an
eve.
True happiness resides in things I'M
seen.
You think it lack of judgment that
a man changes his opinion. Do you
think it a proof that your scales &re
bad because they vibrate with every
additional weight that is added to
either side?
