The Presidents Plea.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

President COolidges memorial address Sat
urday an innovation. 1t took a whole
some departure from the usual compilation of
platitudes and gestures INDUCED in even by
chief executives on such occasions.
To be sure a deep reverence for the va1or
and heroism for those glorihed in the memo
res OF the day was there, but the speech it
self was based upon the practical issues of
the hour. And whether practical" or not
there is certainly no more pressing issue than
that of complete law enforcement. 4
His reference to the failure of states =
reaching almost a criticism-to properly en-
force law and to Fundamentally cooperate
with the nation in law enforcement was also
a departure for a chief executive Usually
they discuss matters revolving around federal
functions only and let direct references to
and certainly should be a most helpful in
niably true. The tendency to take advantage
of technicalities, and to delay beyond all
excuse or reason the execution of law is a
very serious one. Its seriousness has been
felt in Georgia. And in other states perhaps to
no less degree. There is disposition in ev-
cry state possibly to condone the violation of
some laws. That tendency even too often ex-
tends to the court room. 1t should not be. If
a law is too extreme, or works unreason-
able hardship, or penalties without reason or
justice, it should be modified or repealed. So
long as it remains law the duty as to en-
forCement is unmistakable.
What we need is not more federal govern
ment but better local government said the
president. And he spoke truth.

Where the Trouble Is.

agriculture is decaying in America Farm
bankruptcies in recent years have increased
more than 900 per cent. The figures of the
Department OF Agriculture show that the
average farmer could have obtained a larger
income any year since 1920 by hiring him
self out as farm hand
These are the words OF Frank O. Lowden,
former governor of Illinois and a recognized
authority on farm problems The picture he
draws is not pleasant one. Many were dis
posed to believe that last year was a good
one for the farmers, and that this year prom
ised even better Now we told that con-
ditons are deplorabe and that the outlook
is very dscouragng
In the same speech, however, Mr.. Low
den tells us that the way out for the agrcul
tura interests is in cooperative marketing.
If the remedy proposed is indicative of the
disease we should say that Mr.. Lowden has
made the common error OF overstating his
case in order to lay greater accent on his
relief measures If the troubles which beset
agriculture can be cured by cooperative
marketing, or the elimination of some of the
middlemen's profits between producer and
consumer, we may rest assured there's moth
ing wrong organically with agriculture. 1t
is in the system of distribution, which has
been pushing prices skyward for the con-
sumner and downward for the grower, which
is the cause of the trouble. With this condi-
ton remeded the farmer may expect re-
turn OF prosperity.
We must grow food and we must eat food
And if the operations between the grower and
the eater are controlled by these two, instead
of by profit taking middlemen as at present
there is every probability that the farmer will
be content with what he receives and the
consumer happy in what he pays.

Getting on the Road Map.
From the Triton Gazette.

The National Motorists Association, with
headquarters in Chicago, is planning gigan-
tic motorcade to the south in October, and
has included Triton in its route The party
will enter Georgia at Columbus and pass
through Richland, Dawson, Albany, Sylves-
ter, Triton, Abel and Valdosta into Florida.
The association promoting the tour desires
passes show the tourists some kind of well
come. We would like for the board of trade
and other organizations get in touch with the
directors of the tour and show the visitors
from the north the real meaning of southern
hospitality" By giving these people the right
kind of welcome we can get some boosting
that will be worth while

Less LawIessness in This Section.
From the Cuthbert Leader.

Solicitor General Castellow, of the Pataula
circuit is an observant man and does not
form conclusions hastily. For that reason his
opinions have weight with those who know
him.
Speaking of criminal conditions in counties
of the circuit the other day, he remarked
that there had been a decided improvement
during the past few years.
Il remember" he said, being prosecutor
in eighteen murder cases in the circuit during
one fall term or one spring term, of court
This year there have been only four murder
cases, and one of these was without evidence
to convict In some counties the criminal
docket was not cleared in years Now both
civil and criminal dockets are often disposed
OF in less than a week.
Il think prohibition is largely responsible
for this change for the better. Though the
prohibition law may not be 100 per cent eff
fective it has gradually brought about no
ticeable improvement in morals, and this i'm
provement is likely to become more marked
Another factor in the suppression of
crime is vigilant and fearless sheritfs and
deputies. Several counties in the district are
fortunate in having as arresting officers men
who are unusually conscientious and efficient
in discharging their duties Such men are
worth a great deal to their counties by put
ting check on evil doing Their good ser
vice is seldom appreciated at its true value.
There is not likely to be an epidemic of
crime in a county that has a courageous
sheriff
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1925-06-09

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Frghtful and appalling are the only words
that can be used in commenting upon the
latest crime figures. Frederick l.. Hoffman,
statistican and insurance expert, declares that
the annual homicides in this country now
reach 1000 and that the toll for 1924 was
double that of 1900. The situation is worse
than ever, and the tendency seems to be
growing instead of decreasing.
But what can we expect when one lawyer
who specializes in the defense OF murderers
boasts that he has saved one hundred culprits
from the gallowS and the electric chair?
What can we expect when boards of par
dons do land-office business in freeing Grim
inals2 What can we expect when maudlin
sentimentality takes the place of stern JUS
tiCe? What can we expect when respect for
the law grows less year by year? What can
we expect when human life is held in lower
regard than at any time since the foundation
of the republic? What can we expect when
experts puzzle juries and when hair-splitting
nterpre tations of the law take the place of
sound common sense? What can we expect
when mere boys are running wild without
the slightest parental supervision? What can
we expect when nearly half the criminals in
the penitentiary are under p years of age2
We are sorely in need of parents who will
make their children toe the mark We are
equally i'll need OF police who will do their
work without fear or favor We need iuries
that will convict when the evidence is con-
elusive and need more Judges bravely
to face the crisis which confronts us
Every case must stand on its own merits
of course but surely some drastic means must
be taken to remove this murder reproach
from nation that purports to be civilized

Why Not?

The Triton Gazette says the Clay county
tax equazers have pulled new one in levy
ing tax on the money loaned the county"
In the opinion of The News it would be
''new one" if tax were not paid on money
loaned county. Just why money loaned to
county should not be taxed the same as that
loaned to an individual or a corporation would
be hard to explain. The person who loans
money to any branch OF government receives
interest the same as the one who loans it to
individuals, and is not entitled to special priv
ileges Under the law all property is expect
ed, and should, bear its share OF the tax bur-
den.

Dedicated to Miss Minnie Bridges

Quiet in stately beauty-stirred by a ripple Of

Silent as silver moonbeams upon the brow

Looking up to the Father, lifting their hearts
Of gold
Rejecting the merces OF heaven, which have

Surface OF still still waters covered with

Smooth as the hall OF a palace with its Sc

How is the state income tax working in
Wisconsin? Why did Oregon people in the

vote? Are we concerned about the future Of
Georgia as a manufacturing state? Do we
want to drive out our successful creators and
directors of business from the state? Do we
want to encourage the migration of people
who have resources to Florida and other
states which have the gumption to permit
people who have money to use it to promote
improvements rather than taking it away
from them by confscatory socalstic taxing
system?

New York City, Nov 27.-Accord-

firm of jacobson and Jacobs, counsel
for the Universal Negro Improve
ment Association, Incorporated, all Of
the liabilities of the association have
been wiped out by paying forty-eight
Of its members about $60,000 for
which judgments had been obtained.
This was learned last Thursday. These
liabilities, it is said, had been incurred
BY Marcus Carney, the founder and
leader, who is now serving a term i'll
the Atlanta penitentiary for mail fraud.
Much of Garvey's popularity, it was
said, was due to his wilyness and gen
crosby in giving jobs to all whom he
thought could be of service to him in
spreading propaganda for the upbuild-
ing Of his movement and charging
their salaries to the association. II Il
said that these salaries ranged all the
way from 81, 500 to $4,000. When the
association failed to redeem the prom
ises Of payment made BY Mr.. Garvey,
suits were brought and judgments
were obtained.
