SENATOR UNDERWOOD WILLING.

Senator Underwoods hat is in the ring.
The Albanian has consented to try Tor the
democratic nomination for the presidency.
In a recent address before the Alabama leg
islature ne agreed that, if the people he long
has represented in congress wanted him to
make the race he would accept the respon-
sibility That is equivalent to accepting It,
for the Alabama democrats, along with many
in other states want him. So there is another
aspirant before the country, one who, tor the
moment, is impressive as the strongest dem
ocrat in the public eye. low well Mr.. I'm
derwood NAV fare at the national democratic
convention is not known. He might win the
nomination; he might not. 1t is to be re-
membered that there are other democrats
who would accept the honor OF leading the
party with as much sincerity and grace as
might be possible from the Alabama states
man.
It seems that Senator Underwood IS
strongly convinced that much more vlgor-
Gus foreign policy than now obtains should
be adopted by this country. He believes that
America has a grsat part to play in the at
fairs of the world, that she should undertake
the re1aDlIIdllOu VI 1~ul cPNoiA NSN'ANA4NS' ~
ing that the key to the situation in Europe
was, first, stabilized government and then
stabilized finance he declares the United
States should take its place in the worlds
affairs "as becomes the great American ma
ton" He wants the democratic party boldly
to announce a courageous foreign policy in
its platform next year.
Touching on the chances OF a southern
democrat to win the democratic nomination,
Senator Underwood refuses to admit that the
south ought to take second place, yielding
to another section of the country where
doubtful states are situated. Indeed, the solid
south on which the success of the democratic
party always depends has just plea for rec
ognition. Senator Underwood is big
enough man for president. He is far more
acceptable to some other sections OF the
country than any other prominent democrats
frequently mentioned as possibilities. They
feel that the Albanian is a safe man. He
is ouieter than some of the other leading
aspirants, but not less thoughtful; he is a
southerner, but he knows his country we'll

selecting its leader next year and do worse

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE.

In the midst of their mourning for their
beloved dead president the American people
turn hopefully to his successor in the white
house, Calvin Coolidge, who is now the
president of the United States. That they
can and do turn with hope to President Cool
idge is because, like Mr.. Harding, he is one
of them; plain simple, humble, unostenta-
tious, natural and free from affectation. Peo-
pie everywhere will be able to put their
faith in a man of that type.
President Coolidge is a man whose record
is good. AS governor of Massachusetts, he
performed the duties of the office in a way
that attracted the attention of the nation.
He is man of impeccable character one
high-minded and of the highest principles. He
has much of the New England sense of
thrift, industry and caution. These are quail
ties that president of the United States
should possess Nor is Mr.. Coolidge without
courage The manner in which he grappled
with the Boston police strike proved that he
could strike blow promptly and with Vigor.
He also was able to rise above partisanship
when the occasion demanded it.
Responsibilities frequently bring out latent
potentialities in men. President Coolidge
heretofore has not had opportunity to prove
his worth. The vice presidency, AN indispen-
sable position as anyone would agree, does
rot hold many opportunities for its occupant.
Specializing on the future with Mr. Coolidge
at the head of the government it seems reas-
enable to predict that he will measure up
to the requirements of the office. Much will
be demanded of him. He has succeeded to a
trying position, one that will demand all he
has to give That he will give without stint
and always with the feeling of service to his
country seems assured. The people should
and will turn their faces to the front and
support their new leader in his great hour
of responsibility and undertaking.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

The farmers who met at the court house
several days ago for the purpose of further
ing plans for the Investigation OF crops
in Terrell county struck cheerful note
that is, cheerful that it proves the mettle OF
agriculturists who would prefer to work out
their own salvation rather than demand all
sorts of legislative cure-alls from congress.
Diversified farming is a better remedy.
The farmers themselves know that. Wherev-
er that kind of farming has been practiced
the men who did it are not in the doldrums.
1t has been an old saying that one should
not carry all of ones eggs in single basket.
The same idea is contained in another old
saving that one should have more than one
iron in the fire. 1t is practiced today by
prudent persons who divide up their money
and deposit it in several banks. The farmer
who raises cotton and corn and peanuts and
hay and hogs and cattle and chickens and
berries and fruit has much better oppor-
tunity for profits, especially in lean years,
than one might have who sticks to one prod
uct as of cotton.
The News has favored the suggestion OF
reduced cotton acreage as a solution OF one
of the farm problems A more evenly balanc-
ed agriculture instead of speciality farming is
the fundamental need.

THE LAST SAD RITES.

Georgia on Friday joined fully and feel
ngly the other states of the nation in paying
fitting tribute TO the late President Harding
All official business was suspended, the banks
closed and practically all business of every
kind was temporarily halted as the people
with one accord bowed in sorrow as all that
was mortal of the late president was placed
by loving and tender hands into its last rest
ing place. The country has never before wit
messed such an exhibition of national mourn
ing.
President Harding came into Office when
an executive of his type was most needed
There was need of economic and social ad-
justment, of harmonizing of interests, quoting
Of unrest and creation of employment There
was need of removing differences between
nations of establishing international amity,
OF reducing taxation due to ornaments. To
all of these matters he vigorously addressed
himself, tactfully presenting to congress do
mestic questions and automatically to foreign
powers international problems. His admins
tration worked toward peace at home and
throughout the world. His last mission was
an errand of peace, his last public utterance
plea for peace. He was, moreover, a pa
tent capable careful leader, one who set
about the tasks of the day instead of at
tempting to change the orbits OF the uni
verse He did not think he was a super man,
he did not understand that being president
was super Job. The achievements of his
administration are we'll known to the Ameri-
can people. They have been recorded and
reviewed, and they now stand out in bas-re-
r1CS1
has advanced under the leadership OF Pres1-
dent Harding. He went into Office facing try
ing difficulties those of national and inter
national reconstruction. The fact that Amer
lea has gone further towards normally, the
shining goal Of the president from the be-
ginning than any other nation III the world
accentuates the ability of Warren G. Hard
ing the value of his work and the countrys
gain by his efforts. The index to his charac-
ter was marked by the manner with which
hes first approached the high Office to which
he had been elected He undertook his work
with prayer on his lips, humility in his
heart and yet with courage that was truly
American.
For reasons such as these and tor his hui
man qualities President Harding had endear-
ed himself to the people as had no other OF
the nations executives. He was trusted alike
by political friend and foe, for his sincerity
and honesty of purpose were never ques-
toned He was great in his simplicity OF
life and living, which multiplied friendship
and gained the confidence Of the people to
whom he gave constant proof that he was
first of all devoted to their interests and
welfare.
The American people may well mourn,
for in the death of President Harding they
have lost an executive whose administration
is made illustrious by genuine service to the
nation and to the world. A great and good
man has been called to his reward.

The Farm Loan System.
From the Savannah Press.

Georgia farmers have borrowed S17,711,o10
from the banks of the federal farm loan sys-
TEN, according to a tabuation of these loans
up to June 80, 1923, compiled from reports
made to the federal farm loan board
This is Georgia's participation in grand
total of $1160695,516 advanced to farmers
throughout the United States by the joint
stock land banks and federal land banks.
Farmers in neighboring states have bene-
fitted in about the same proportion. The Dor
rowings of the last year bring the state totals
up to 5,463,O70 for Florida, $23,438.07 for
Alabama and $23,892, 400 for South Carolina.
The $17711, 910 borrowed by Georgia farm
ers is in the shape of 7182 loans. OF these
1904 are loans made by the federal land
bank, totaling $17259710, and lightweight
are loans by joint stock land banks totaling
$45220O
During the year which closed on June 80,
1923, the total of loans made through all the
banks of the farm loan system throughout
the forty -eight states was 446,389,813. OF
this amount joint stock land banks supplied
1928 920, 598 and the federal land banks $212,-
469,215
This billion dollar mark for the federal
farm loan system, which includes both joint
stock land banks and federal land banks. was
passed on June 80, 1923, when the statement
of business done from organization up to that
date gave the grand total of all of the loans
made by all of the banks of the system as
81, 160,695,516. OF this amount the federal
land banks have loaned $787, 100000 and the

The Constitution and the Strap.
From the Triton Gazette.

Commenting on a recent article IN the Ga
zette on the statement of several county war
dens that they were finding great difficulty
in maintaining discipline since the fear of the
lash had been removed, The Dawson News
says:
THE idea that the prohibition of the
strap is a constitutional provision is
roneous. There is absolutely nothing in
the constitution on the subject. The at
torney general of the state, when asked
for an opinion by the then governor,
did not so hold. On the contrary, he
plainly said there was no law against the
use of the strap for enforcing discipline
but added that it was against the spirit
of the constitution. Many of the ablest
lawyers in the state have said that the
strap as used in Georgia, was nothing
more than measure to enforce d1sclp
line, and was in no wise part OF the
punishment for crime. So much just to
keep the record straight As to the strap
the use OF that instrument as means OF
enforcing discipline is gone, never to re-
turn. Those who believe to the contrary
have a vain hope Some other method
must be found for maintaining order in
convict camps and getting reasonable
amount of work"
If our recollection serves, the statement
that the use of the strap-better word than
lash--n convict camps was prohibited by the
constitution of Georgia came from the gov
ernor's Office about the time the order pro-
hbiting its use was issued. Also, later an
article written by Hon. Sam W. Small, who
was stenographer for the Georgia Constitu-
tional Convention of 1877, stated that the
use of the lash was prohibited in that docu-
ment The Cordele Dispatch says that the
use of the lash is prohibited as a means Of
punishment for crime but nothing is said
about its use as a method of discipline. That
The Dispatch is correct, we quote paragraph
I, section l. article l, of the constitution,
which says:
Punishment Whipping banisl1-
ment beyond the limits of the state, nor
whipping, as a punishment for crime shall
be allowed.

THE LEGISLATURE

Pity the legislature 1t is damned if it does
and it is damned if it doesn't.
In recent years it has been mathematical
fore and aft for passing too many laws, and
there has been general and insistent de-
mand for a change to biennial sessions to
curb the food of new enactments.
Today the 1928 session of the legislature
will adjourn with fewer laws enacted than
ever before known in the state, and already
if IS being criticised as a do-nothing body.
With the exception of the appropriation and
the WAYS and means bills not general law
of importance has gotten through the mop
per.
AS for The News; we are well pleased with
the record The Legislature has done splen-
didIy. for If there is anything the state and
the nation need it is rest from legislation.

THE WONDERFUL HORSE.

II. R. Elliott in American Forestry.
o horse, you are a wonderful thing no
buttons to push no horn to honk you start
yourself, no clutch to slip; no spark to miss,
year, with plates to screw on front and rear
no gas bills climbing up each day, stealing
the Joy of life away; no speed cops chugging
in your rear, yelling summons in your ear
Your inner tubes are all O. K. and thank the
Lord, they stay that way; your spark plugs
never miss and fuss; your motor never makes
us cuss. Your frame is good for many a
mile; your body never changes style. Your
wants are few and easy met; you've some
thing on the auto yet.

Two or three newspapers which opposed
Governor Walker in the primary have now
fallen into the detestable habit of nagging
him. In the opinion of The News the gov

expect him to do even better as his admin
istration grows older. At least, he is entitled
to fair treatment, and these newspapers will
find that the masses of the people take that

Horrors Alleged horrors in the chain
gangs of the state were used by "reformers"
to bring about the abolition of the strap as
measure to enforce discipline and work and
now those who want the strap restored as a
method of punishment alleging horrors
as a reason why it should be done. Just
what is to be done about it is problem. The
upshot of it IS that the morale in the pen
itentiary is being destroyed, and county COM
missoners everywhere are complaining that
they are getting very little work on the pub

IOtdI
The farmers are carrying the load of
county taxes, but from the above figures it
appears that he is not carrying the state tax
load. Since city and town property is paying
more taxes than country property, it would
seem to us that repeal of the tax equaliza-
ton law would benefit the cities more than
the country.
