WANTS OUR GOLD.
man..

There is still sharp division in both OF the
major parties as to the part America should
take in European affairs, and it is not prob
able that either of them will make it prom
inent issue in the next campaign. A, con-
temporary says:
Senator Walsh. democrat, of Massa-
chusetts, thinks the party ought to con,
fine itself to domestic issues and avoid
mixing up with foreign countries IN at
tempting to solve their intricate prob
lens Senator Underwood, who may be
the democratic candidate for the presl-
dency, is more emphatic with regard to
foreign affairs than he is with reference
to domestic issues. So it seems that there
is division Of opinion in the democratic
ranks as well as in those of the repub-
licans.
Every one knows that from the first
Americas hope was that America should be
made safe for democracy. That was the
dream of Mr.. Wilson. 1t was the prayer OF
America then as it is the suppication now
that war would not recur. AS Mr.. Harding
said at the tomb of the unknown soldier at
Arlington-"It must not be again" Mr.. I'm
derwood believes that the way to approach
permanent peace is for America to help Eu-
rope bring order out of chaos but one might
wonder, until he explains further, whether
as president he would pour out treasure tc
purchase peace for Europe. 1t is generally
agreed that any step America takes in Eu-
ropean affairs is bound to be expensive. Most
observers hold that Europe desires American
gold above anything else and everything else
1t may strike great many Americans who
are devoted to the question of settling do
nestle issues-which Mr.. Underwood has not
mentioned-that too vigorous endorsement
of a new and strong foreign policy is dan
gerous to the cause of any party.

The commission appointed by Governor
Walker to study the tax problem and make
suggestions for consideration by the general
assembly at the extraordinary session OF that
body to be held in November has begun
work, and visits are being made to different
sections of the state that business men and
citizens generally may have opportunity to
give their views on the subject. Every one
comedies that something needs to be done
about taxes and the time has come when
criticism and pickering should cease and full
and earnest cooperation given the governor
in his efforts to bring about remedial legis-
lation. To say nothing of Mr.. Walker, that
much is due the state by every good citizen.

1t should be noted that Mrs. Coolidge, wife
Of the president, failed to win prize in the
national knitting contest, receiving only hon
cradle mention. Her contribution was a baby
carriage robe, which, she announces, will be
retained and used to tuck around her first
grandchild when that is born. Whether a
prize winner or not the presidents wife has
set good example of diligence and prof.
cheney in domestic handcraft Old fashioned
as knitting may be, it is an art that should
not be permitted to become obsolete.

Governor Walker is being lambasted in
some quarters for not driving the Legislature
to carry out some of his campaign promises,
says the Lexington Echo. Just what is to be
done about the legislature is problem. Hard
wick tried bulldozing and didn't get any
where, and Governor Walker is not having
any better success with mild and pleasant
methods. Seriously, however, it is well that
the legislators have minds and wills of their
own If the legislature were under the domi-
nation and control of the executive it would
be a worse than useless body.

In Terrell county the people are preparing

their jobs and fewer gasoline burners.

The Georgia legislature has been cuss-

become a scandal No wonder people

pronounce us heathens. The Tribune
feels sure, now that the new members
have become familiar with legislative pro-
cedure and the real needs of Georgia,
the session of 1924 will show much help

useless statutes repealed. Then, the vot-

Courtesy in Business

Shrewd business men have come to appreciate
COURTESY for its true value as a business asset
They know that smile, Thank you, sir" and
heartily expressed Come again" bring back more
customers than page advertisement Therefore,
many employees are courteous for the same reason
they wear clean linen and observe the fire ordi-
nances. It's Of the rules
True courtesy, however, cannot be nstied by hang
ing a neatly-framed sign in your place Of business.
True courtesy, the genuine desire TO be pleasant to
others, TO help smooth the pathway of those with
whom you come in contact cannot be applied like
poultice or injected like serum 1t can only come
from within-from taking thought Carelessness
and thoughtlessness the great foes Of courtesy
True courtesy cannot be confounded with obse-
quousness The sycophant with his polished Planners
Is often less courteous than the awkward pumpkin.
All lies In the motive
Don't worry about what the book says. Try to live
practical application Of the Golden Rule Grin and
don't shove. Put yourself in the other fellows place
And you'll find that courtesy, like another widely
known business aid, will absorb the shocks that tire
you out.
