POLITICS
By DR.. Frank Crane

It was William c. Redfield, former lseCre-
tary of commerce, who coined the bright
phrase "Poltics must stop at the water S
edge"
Of course it does not. There is where it
really ought to begin For the most impor-
tant politics in the world consists in our
dealings with other nations,
The statement however, is true in the
sense Mr.. RedfeId meant it; that is, partisan
politics should stop at the waters edge.
That means that we should not let our
family quarrels interfere with our treatment
of the Joneses.
We may have our internal differences and
always will have. No mortal question could
be brought up in the senate of the United
States and proposition, not even reso-
luton that two and two make four, but some
f1ag-waving, vOte-hungry patriot would rise
upon his hind legs and denounce it as a
scheme of Wall street, or an effort to pro-
mote Bolshevism.
This we must expect.
CantankerOuSneSS springs eternal In the
politicians breast.
But when it comes to our dealings with
neghbor nations the handling of all affairs
should be put in charge of somebody who
is not partisan, but who represents the con-
trolling and majority sentiment in the United
States.
AS rule, it is much better to have foreign
affairs handled by the executive, and accord
ing to our form of government, this is DONE
But there are some questions that must
be submitted to the senate and there we
usually get into trouble, because partisanship
has its chance to sop over and mess up our
foreign relations in order to curry favor of
the people of Podunk County back home.
We have a duty to ourselves and, of course
that duty is tirst-of-au duty just as self-de-
Tense is the first law of nature. But the in
dividuaI who has no higher law than self
protection is a barbarian.
Civilized people recognize that they have
duties to other people, to their families and
to their neighbors, and even to strangers
So civilized nations ought to recognize the
fact that it is impossible to cOnfne nation
al conscience TO internal affairs exclusively.
We have relations with other nations, and
the intelligent mana ing of these relations
may mean our prosperity and peace or it may
mean our great injury.
In fact most of the dictates of conscience
have to do with the other fellow and not
with ones self.
Mr. Redfeld declares that he believes sit
is high time that a united America saw
at once the opportunity and duty to take a
definite stand and help solve the problemg
that agitate all mankind at the present
time"
America is strong, and strong mans re-
sponsibilities are vastly greater than a weak
mans.
The question of international relationship
is not a matter of currying favor with one
nation or taking pity upon another. 1t is
simply question of playing the man, doing
our duty, and bearing our share of the
worlds burden. -ai..

Just. Among Ourselves

rUST a few words more about the apple
sprouts and grape vines offered pre-
- miums. These are being shipped out just
as fast as possible by the nurseryman who
supplies us. Those who have recently ordered
should allow three weeks time before COM
planning. If they haven't shown up within
three weeks, or if they have come in bad or
der, as sometimes happens, please notify US.
A great many subscribers have complained
prematurely, and some of these have written
in very ugly manner. They should realize
that the nurseryman cannot ship in safety
when his orchards are frozen and under a
foot of snow, as was the case for several
weeks.
Here's a letter that came Monday:

don't think hard of me. I thought you had
just slipped me and had forgotten.
Thanking you for your kind favor and good
paper. W. A. MACK.
OF. course, there have been errors in a
number of orders. We have received requests
for nearly twenty thousand shipments, and
in such large number there are bound to be
slip-ups.
But let us know if you have not received
your order after a REASONABLE TINE.

WHAT FORESTRY MEANS TO GEORGIA FARMS Y

that a farm "has a good supply of running
water on it, and enough timber to run the
place" But today our farm timber is vanish
ing at an alarming rate, and even the Turner
County plan is not taking this important
fact into account.
We already have over 100000 acres of
devastated lands in Georgia which must be
reforested by artificial methods, and Georgia
has some 100000 acres of forest lands
that could be kept perpetually green in tim
Der if properly managed and protected from
fire so that natural reproduction would have
a fair chance. But on the other hand Geor-
gia has 81 900 farms which require 622,-
100000 board feet of lumber years for eff
ficient upkeep, and this amount of lumber
(622, 100000 feet, board measure) exceeds
our present yearly consumption OF lumber for
all purposes and is more than 80 per cent Of
our present production of lumber in this state.
= A good friend said to me the other day:
"The Lord knows that we farmers have had
to much free advice in the past that there is
no wonder that the boil weeVil got us all con-
fused and we are burning up our young tim
Der on the one hand, and gone to sawmilling
on the other hand in order to try to get QUE
of debt. But the trouble is getting worse,
while we are losing our cotton and losing our
'niggers,' for now we are losing our timber,
too, and soon we will have to be burning coal
instead of wood on the farm"
If Georgia wants to help her farmers, and
every other class of citizens, avoid the hrad-
ships of timber famine in the very near flu
ture, the legislature could take very definite
and essential steps in that direction next sum-
mer for the proper enforcement of our forest
fire laws and by providing state encourage
ment and aid to timber owners in the proper
management of forest lands. To this end,
