organized labor, by employers and by

Surely the great United States has
the wealth, the intelligence and the
will to largely reduce accidents, if
not almost eliminate them, at least
in many industries. It is not enough
to pay insurance to injured workers
and to the wives and children of the
victims of fatal accidents. The thing
to do is to prevent accidents in the
first place. If this is done, industry
and the people as whole will derive
incaluculable benefits.

LOVE YOUR ENEMY
The American Friends, than whom
no relief workers in war-stricken
European countries are held in higher
respect, report that 100000 German
children are in danger of starvation
this winter. Most of these children
do not know what warm meal is.
Many of them are in danger of tuber-
culosis due to er-nourishment. In
Dresden alone, one-sixth of the school
children suffer from famine.
The efficiency of the Quakers in
administering relief is demons trated
by the fact that with one American
dollar they are able to feed a child
for a whole month. That this cause
is most worthy one is further at
tested by the fact that General Henry
7. Allen, formerly commander of the
American army of the Rhine, is COL
lecting funds in this country for dis
bursement in Germany by the Quak-
ers. The American committee for. the
relief of German children is sponsor
ed by some of the leading business
men of our nation. This committee is
sending 100 cents of every dollar given
to the relief. Administration is borne
by certain private givers.
Five million people are jobless in
Germany at the present writing.
Food is inordinately high. Milk is
scarce. There is a shortage of cloth
ing, even at present prices. Industry
is crippled. And the prospect for bet
terment is slight.
These are few of the factors that
prompt generous measure of help
from America. While diplomats are
trying to untangle the financial
affairs of Germany, the propaganda
of kindness may be spread among the
children. America is a magic word
in many suffering country of the
old world. The present generation OF
children grown to maturity will know
what goodwill between nations
means. What better prevention o1
future wars can there be than this.

Ri. Is PASSED

ATLANT August 6.--Ihe. House
Of Representatives late @Tuesday
passed, without a dissenting vote
the revised bill providing for chang
ing county officers in Chatham,
Richmond, Bib Muscogeei DeKalb
and Fulton counties from the fee
to salary system.
The measure, as passed, goes TO
the people of each of these counties
in the primary Sept. 10 and is to
stand only if ratified by their vote
In that event, the measure then be
comes effective Jan. 1, 1926, and
changes to a salary basis, the ordi-
nary, the clerk of the superior court
whether he is ex-officio clerk Of the
city court or not the sheriff, tax
collector and tax receiver.
The first of these salary bills was
offered by Major Fowler, of BIB,
and was followed by others from
several counties. Objections were
raised and conferences were arrang
ed between the representative Of
those counties affected, with the re-
suit that bill was prepared affect
ing all the counties named, save Ful
ton. Today before passage Of the
measure, the Fulton delegation
joined in on this bill, and an
amendment was put through MAX
ing it apply also to the county.
However, Messrs, Rowe, Of the Rich
mond delegation, and Eve Of the
Chatham delegation did not join as
authors of the bill. Mr.. Rowe some
time ago introduced a similar bill
providing for the change to be
made by constitutional amendments,
and that bill is still pending.
The plan under which the change
of system is to be worked out, as
provided in the bill, is that the sal
aries of the various officers are to
be fixed by the county commission
ers, or other county authority hav-
ing jurisdiction of the roads and
