Biennial Legislative Sessions.
Prom the Savannah Press.

Biennial sessions of the Georgia legislature
are very much closer at hand than many
people suppose. 1t is somewhat surprising to
find the sentiment in the general assembly
for a four-year term for governor and bien-
NAL sessions of the legislature If the change
should come about it would mean probably
that the time of the meetings of the legisla-
ture would be changed from summer to win
ter. The argument for winter aSsemb1ages
is that the necessity for the farmer staying
on his farm in the fall or in the early winter
is not as pressing now as it was when Geor-
gia was an all cotton state. Crops like to-
bacco, peaches and watermelons are grown
and out of the way-sold in the open markets
at just about the time the legislature con-
venes now. For this reason the opposition
of the farming class to winter sessions has
just about vanished
The Dawson News presents the matter of
biennial sessions in very interesting way
when it says:
1T is much easier to find fault than it
is to make constructive criticism Ac-
cordngly in taking the easiest course.
one invariably takes the easiest subject
to attack. This, at the present IS politics.
There is too much politics in Georgia.
Politics is in representative government
what fumes in a brass foundry. The
brass and the representative government
are good durable metals but the fumes
are nauseous and even destructive if ia
ken in habit-forming quantities.
"There is a platitude directing crusad-
ers, both amateur and professional to
strike at the root of the evil, and, ac-
cordingly, our crushing blow falls upon
the head of the grand old legislature
There are too many sessions of the
legislature. One faction appears, at these
sessions, to be trying to do something,
while another, it would seem, it bent
upon preventing any such rash action.
After considering what the first is try
ing to do, one is inclined to believe the
second is fairly near to being right.
Moral; Swat the too frequent sessions
of the legislature and curtail politics.
Biennial sessions and a four-year term
for the governor would help wonderfully"
Commissioner Rainey of the State Pris-
on Commission, who is very largely inter
ested in The Dawson News, and who spends
a great deal of his time in Atlanta, where
he hears the remarks and notes the views of
the people, probably had something to do
with framing the editorial given above. 1t
comes pretty nearly sizing up the way the
people feel about these two matters

The Georgia Press Association was royalty
entertained in Waycross the past week The
people of that thriving South Georgia me-
tropolis opened their hearts and homes to the
scribes and the convention was one of the
very best in the history of the association. 1t
was the good fortune of the editor of The
News to be entertained in the lovely home
of former Dawsonian who was reared here
Mr.. Ben S. Gibson. Mr.. Gibson has a
charming wife and three interesting chill
dren, and his many friends here will be glad
to know that he is prospecting and has ex-
tensive business interests in his adopted
home.

Editor Shackelford, of the Lexington Echo
is perplexed as to the proper etiquette in
barber shops under the new order of things
He says: eve want to keep right up on good
manners. When we go to the barber shop
these days do we take our turn next as in
days of yore, or do we spend the day sur
rendering our turn to the ladies'? We are
anxious to get straight on this" The mod
ern woman is modern in every sense, and
it has been our observation that in the bar
Der shop she expects to wait until her time

hands of the tonsorial artist Outside The
social life she readily and willingly adapt:
herself to prevailing customs.

A prominent citizen OF Townsville, ac-
cordng to the Times-Enterprise, is OF the
opinion that it would be mistake to abolish
capital punishment in Georgia. He cites the
fact that there are certain crimes which
every white man in the state knows requires
the death penalty, and, further, that it is LA
bic to be inflicted one way or another" The
Thomasville citizen is right An increase in
the number OF lynchings would surely result
from such legislation Several states that abo-
ished capital punishment have, because OF a
great increase in the crime of murder found
it necessary to re-enact the death penalty.

The Fort Valley Leader says zone of the
chief factors in the physical decline of the
human race, no doubt, is that the parlor has
eclipsed the kitchen in Importance. We loll
around on soft cushions and easy chairs
while the kitchen-the nutrition factory OF
the family-is left to darkness filth and ig-
norance" That's alarming, If true. While
there may be some foundation for what the
Fort Valley paper says, let us hope it is not as
bad as our contemporary represents it to be.

From the Jackson Progressing

According to report a candidate for
congress in Georgia promises to wipe
out the boil weevil in two years if he is
elected. Such rot is a reflection on the
intelligence of the electorate; neverthe-
less, it impresses some and at times re-
suits in adding the name of one more
demagogue to the roll of lawmakers

the lines seem kind of pretty, but | don't

The rustic of the leafy trees,
1t makes a pleasant sound
From little hill to little hill
The whole world around.
The valleys and the seas are wide;
We might not hear, perhaps,
But for the little hayward winds
That leap across the gaps.
Prmeval wireless of the air,
They bring the cadence beats
OF cool green forest symphonies
To dusty city streets
Blow winds from off the wooded hills
Till hates and hurts are whole,
And every leafy tree can speak
To every human soul.
