Keeping Business at Home.
From the Fitzgerald Leader.

No town can be permanently prosperous
in which the citizens and tradesmen depend
ent on each other do not patronize each 9TH
err The fact is, but little is ever made by go
ing away to trade, if it can be secured at
home, and oftener there is loss Show us
a town in which the people make it a rule
not to send away for anything they can get
at home and we will show you town in
which business is lively, and everybody buys,
and trade is centered from abroad Prices
are low and the tradesmen patronize each
other having no SUSPICION that confidence
will be abused. Let it be understood that
when business men of any town get in the
habit Of sending abroad for purchases their
business will 1anguish Having no confidence
in each other how can they expect others to
have confidence in them? No, that's not the
way to build town Patronize each other,
and keep your business at home.

Religion and Business.

Defenders of religion and praise OF the
Bible are found. in unexpected quarters.
There's Judge Gary, for example, who de-
clares that religion is just plain business
sense" and that the moral and religious prin-
ciples OF the Bible are unassailable. A good
many people who look upon the steel cor
poration which Judge Gary heads as mon
ster will think that is strange talk to be
coming from him. There was another man.
long ago. it will be recalled, Of whom it was
once said, Can there any good thing come
out Of NAZARETH" At least, if Judge Gary
feels that way about religion and the Bible
there is hope that some good thing will come
ont of the steel corporation. Perhaps the
Judge Is not as bad as he has been painted.

CHEERING DERS.

Lincoln Star: Fifteen thousand people

Eugene Y Debs took his place. on New
York platform the other day before gath
ering he was scheduled to address. As a peo-
pie we are inclined to make light Of the pos
sible dangers that may Turk around the next
corner. Our prosperity is so comfortable, our
bread and butter so certain, our government
so well established that we have no time to
worry over distant possibilities: We put our
snare funds into per cent tax free bonds, we
establish for ourselves certain fixed income

Too Much Sentiment for Criminals.
From the Columbus Enauirer-Sun.

The state prison commission has made
a recommendation that ought to be
adopted as quickly as possible. 1t is the
proposal that change be made IN the
present parole law which allows prison
ers serving life sentences for murder to
be paroled after three years minimum
service. The commission would have the
minimum extended to ten years, because
the present three-year minimum is less
than that for other offenses even less
grave. AS we see it, there should be no
minimum period of service for a life SEN
tenCe. When a person is convicted OF
murder it is considered an act of mercy
to grant a life sentence rather than that
OF death Why, then, should the period
of service be reduced? Compel more
murderers to serve life terms in prison
and there will not be so many of them, To
say the least of it they should not be
entitled to parole in less than ten years.
Rome News.
The News we'll says that convicte
has already had his share of mere
death. The jury and the court have alread
justice with mercy.
Executive clemency for murders after
short term of service makes life too CHEAP
1t all but places a premium on crime.
man who has grudge against another con
cludes that he won't be restrained of hi
liberty very long if he Stays the other, ant
having no conscience, he proceeds to kill him
The law has no terror for this type of man
ii does not deter him, for he feels REASONABLE
certain that he will not have to do time YER
long.
And it is true in the matter of other vic
lations OF the law. There is too much elem
ency for criminals; too much maud1in sent
ment, and as a result men are constantly kill
ing each other and committing crimes of al
most equal gravity.
The recommendation of the prison com
mission should be adopted with an amend
ment that the ten years" provision b

Georgia Press Talk,

The Jackson Progress-Argus calls atten
ton to a situation that does mot reflect credi
on Georgia. Says Editor Jones'
Georgia's record OF money spent for
crops grown outside the state IS not one
to be proud OF. Records show we are
spending about one hundred and fifty
million dollars Tor things that we can
grow at home Even if that amount of
money were saved it would be OF ire
meudous help. It would certainly require
less cotton What is the use OF growing
cotton to pay for food and feed when
we can grow these things at home and
save the high freight?

saying 1--WE don't want him and we won't
have him Let him run on third ticket if
he wants to. l guess that's where he be-
longs" Mr. Ford, with his notions about
money and prohibition, to mention nothing
else, would be bitter pill for the demo-

marching around the world Expectations to
Europe, to the South American countries to
China and elsewhere are steadily increasing,
resulting in increased manufacture. During
the first three months OF the present year
15000000000 cigarettes in round numbers,
were manufactured, as compared with 10000
100000 during the same period in 1922. The
