FAMILY


Chinese and Jews are the only
people who did not perish ultimate
ly on account of rapid decline Of
birth rate. This is the comment of
Professor Thomson, German, after
studying all known history.
He says nations can expand 81 w
ly only if the average family has
four children. If this drops to three
children, the nation is doomed sl'w
ly to die out. A few generations
will extinguish our cold American
stock" Europe inherits America.
GAS"
The American public saves $50 to
500 million dollars this year, cor,
pared with 1928, by reason of lower
gasoline prices. According to claims
by leading oil refners.
1t is rather surprising to learn
that the cost of national govern
ment, including interest on war
debt, is several times as big as the
total amount spent by all American
auto owners for gasoline.

PRICES
Wholesale prices continue rising,
though very slowly. As yet they
are not as high, on the average, as
when they began to slip last March.
From England comes word that
prices are rising over there being

1921. Seems to be a world ten

Klansman Kliff

The cat is out of the bag at
last. When lodging and de
mails no longer could be in
dulged in, Clifford Walker, the
governor of a great state, comes
through like a little man and
says, Yes, I'm it. "
There may have been doubt
in the minds of some as to the
political leanings of Walker,
but now those doubts are com
pletely dispelled.
Walker is klansman; his
name may or may not be on its
roll of celebrities, but he belongs
politically to the khan. When
the khan pops its whip in the fu-
ture. Georgia's governor will
jump.
The exposures of the last few
days have cleared the atmos-
phere. Lifelong friends, men
who have supported him in his
various campaigns, are now
through with Clifford Walker.
One of these, an Americas
gentleman, who has voted for
and contributed to his cam
paigns for years, remarked in
this office this week
=. 81 am Disguised. It's disgrace
on the State of Georgia. The de-
cent thing for Walker to do

/ div ~
And that is our opinion. AS
a private citizen it is his right,
II we suppose, to be a member of
- s, any order, khan or otherwise,
eeabut as Governor of the State of
s Georgia he has no such right.
To say that he addressed the
national klonvocation Of the Ku

a private citizen he would not
i have been asked to address the
.klansI1sen. 1t was because he
bWas governor that he was want
ed and given place on the pro-
gram.
But to discuss the affair fur
ther is neither profitable nor nee
essary, 1t is a sorry spectacle,
disgrace and reflection on
every man and woman in Geor-
q. gia who is and has been oppos-
ing the tenets, teachings and acts
+ of the khan.
IN While the national standard
bearer of the Democratic party,
$40 John w. Davis, is scoring the
khan and declaring that he will
have nothing to do with it, Geor-
gas Governor acknowledges
aQo that he was a member (and
doesn't know whether he still is
@ or, -no) Georgia Governor
defends the khan. he apologies
y.zfor the khan. he declares that
since he has been Governor it
