The President and Suspenders.

The failure of the student body at Prince
ton University to hitch their trousers to sus-
penders in accordance with the expressed
fusal prompted by the fact that this is a free
country, that "gauses" are not in favor, and
that men have other ways OF keeping their
neither garments in place. Tradition has a
powerful influence on university life. Had the
late Mr.. Wilson made a like appeal Prince
ton might have responded. Mr.. Coolidge
probably will have to depend on New Eng
landers for followers in this, but they may
wear EN- anyway, which, if true, would pre-
clude the possibility of converts from those
parts There is no mistake whatever as to
the importance of trouser suspension. In
fact, in the lives of men of all ages, classes
and conditions there is nothing as necessary
as retaining trousers in the proper ATTITUDES
as would be marked by parallels on mascu-
line anatomy By all means the trousers must
be kept where they belong So 1t must be
concluded that suspension is to be greatly
desired for such garments, but that does not
make it necessary to adopt the Coolidge plan

simply asked too much OF them

It's Chasing Dollars.
From the Lexington (Ga.) Echo.


Everybody is trying to find out or tell what
is the matter with the country.
Many and divers are the symptoms sug-
gested and the remedies, but there don't seem
to be any Improvement in the patient,
We don't claim to be much OF doctor
either medically or i'll the economic sense,
but we do believe we can give the main
symptom that is keeping us from being hap
ply and contented and possibly prosperous.
1t is nothing more nor less than chasing
dollars.
Way back in scriptural times we are told
that money is the root of all evil By that IS
meant a wild desire for money; making mon
ey-getting second to all other attributes TO
living-comfort Contentment and happiness
and due consideration for the welfare OF the
other fellow
Has there ever been time when the curse
OF this economic sin was more apparent, more
universal among men? Certainly not =
Is anybody stopping to consider whether
or not they are giving value received III the
articles they handle or service they render:
Are we not all blinded to that principle and
all others that go to make lie easier and
better for Others and even ourselves by the
wild chase we make for dollars:
The fact that everybody is wildly engaged
in the chase gets nobody anywhere. The
dollar we chase down is soon chased away
from us What can it profit us or what can
it add to the sweetness OF life merely to
handle the dollar?
By this wild chase, so wild that it causes
us to adopt means and methods that blast
our hopes for the hereafter, as well as our
present peace OF mind and conscience, we are
making life miserable to ourselves and all
about us. We are bringing disaster upon
ourselves and all around about us. We are
creating unhappness for ourselves and our
fellows We are selling our souls. We are
blasting our hopes OF ever getting through
Peters gate.

Jobs and Men.

Thomas f. Wilson, of Chicago, president
OF Wilson & Co. packers, believes there are
more big jobs in the business world than
there are men to fiji them He insists that
there are a great many positions that demand
salaries running from $4,000 to S5OOOO but
that men who measure up to the demands
OF the work are woefully scarce. "Opportuni-
tv never knocked louder" Mr.. Wilson is
quoted as saying with reference to the right
kind OF executives for big places in the bust
ness world.
Mr.. Wilson is not the first big man to de-
clare that there are more good jobs than
good men to fill them This has been said
in railroad business, in the steel industry IN
the manufacture Of motor cars, in the textile
field. in TACT in almost every line OF endeavor.
The responsible heads in the various big bus
nesses ought to know whether these state
ments are true, and yet ii it is true that there
are more good positions than there are ca
pable men to fill them there is something
wrong with the business world. The workers
alone are not to blame
1t would seem only sensible for big bust
ness men who have succeeded in their work
to train executives for the arduous tasks IN
the higher paid positions. 1t is not practicable
surely to sit and wait for big man to come
along and drop into big position. 1t is not
businesslike in this age OF intensive training
and application Tor industrial leaders to hold
that all the high salaried men who meet the
demands of their Jobs are born and not made.
1t is strange that they do not take promising
pupils and train them until they are capable
OF earning salaries OF $4,000 and upward
The suggestion might be made that the
$4,000 men become such because OF oppor-
tunity, experience contacts in the business
world and general knowledge gained in a
career that steadily approached brilliant sue
cess. Another suggestion is that every man
capable of holding high place and earning
an enormous salary does not find such a
position and its emoluments. The tavorite
theory that sooner or later the big job will
find the big man and that the big man will
find the big job is one that is not always
proved in practice
Business men make mistakes. They are hui
man Many a man has been promoted when
his fellow worker had more ability. Person
atv often counts in promotions. Flattery,
too. Big Jobs have been won and held by
sycophants, just as Others, too proud to fiat
ter In the hope Of pleasing, have stayed be-
hind. Mr.. Wilson may be right in what he
has said but the business world itself is to
blame if there is scarcity OF big men for
big jobs.

Newspaper and Public.

Roy W Howard head ofthe Scripps-How-
ard newspapers, dis Eussiug what newspapers
owe the public, says, first of all newspaper
must be a good citizen and decent neigh
Dor.
He says they should encourage tolerance
and never forget that smile has am asset
value even in the midst OF fight He would
not print a story that puts a criminal brand
on a young person.
He thinks no story should be printed that
raises a question on thu part of cleaiz-rnind-
ed boy or girl that cannot be answered or
explained By any parent familiar with normal
realities OF life.
This is a fine stand BY an executive OF a
group of papers that go to working people
in hundreds OF thousands of homes, register
ing a tendency toward cleaner journalism
This new order is bound to minimize
crimes, scandals, details of social and moral
delinquencies and substitute more space for
industries and enterprises by which nine
tenths Of the people make a living.

The Pullman Surcharge.

Following an announcement that the In
terstate Commerce Commission had refused
to abolish the surcharge added to pullman
fares as an emergency war measure Com
missioner James A. Perry, OF the Georgia
Public Service Commission, has lnaugurated
a movement to have congress to remove this
tax upon the travelling public A man who
buys a sleeping car ticket is obliged to pay
the railroads a surtax for hauling the car.
The Pullman car company doesn't get any OF
this charge but the railroads get it all. This
is a matter that should be between the rail-
roads and the Pullman company, but instead
the traveller has to pay.
Mr. Perry very properly brands the sur
charge as an ubiquitous and outrageous tax
on the public" and expresses the opinion
that the present session of congress will not
end before the tax is removed He suggests
that all persons interested write to their con-
qressmen and senators uring immediate &C
ton.
Six years after the close Of the war the
public is contributing to the Golfers OF the
railroads tax that was imposed as a war
measure, and it is nothing less than iniquitous
to continue it. If Mr.. Perry succeeds in his
purpose he will have rendered distinct ser
vice Let the public, in whose behalf he is
moving, render him very possible assistance.

Headed for South.

Evidence is increasing constantly that the
trend OF the textile industry is decidedly to-
ward the south.
This movement naturally would depress
stockholders in the New England plants most
of whom, reports state are now more or less

to industrial leaders in the south who can
see an old and long established New Eng

move. at tremendous cost, to this section,
where conditions are more favorable in ev-

Not alone is the fact that in the south the

to all their needs.
Again The News would remind the towns
Of southwest Georgia including our own
Dawson, that they cannot get any OF these
valuable industrial enterprises by sitting
around wishing the owners would pick the

A Pitiful Sight.
From the Jesup Sentinel.


1t is pitiful to observe the throngs OF rest
less humanity as they scramble through Geor-
gia in mad rush for land OF many prom
ses and few assurances They go IN pr1-
vate trains in expensive autos, in Fords,
walking, hoboing and just any old way. to
get there Little do they realize that they
are passing over land and country that
abound in untold opportunity. To the man
with only moderate means and an abundance
OF energy Georgia, and most especially this
southern portion of the state, offers oppor-
tunities that cannot be equaled in any section
OF the country. The tourists, "detourlsts" and
determinists speeding pell nell over and
across good old Georgia soil in their endeav-
or to reach a veritable Canaan land just
south OF us are stepping over diamonds daily
and passing up what, if they but knew it,
would yield more in response to their honest
efforts than any other section OF America.
But Just why do they do this? Simply be-
cause they have heard about the other place
and have not heard Of south Georgia Mil
lions OF dollars are spent annually in spread
ing the tidings OF Flordas wonderful sun
shine and golden opportunities.
South Georgia gets very little advertising
except what the newspapers do single-handed
and without the backing OF the people. II
our trade bodies could do some systematic
and aggressive advertising throughout other
states and get 'em told about this country

ufacturers, farmers and other to stop look
and listen" before crossing our border line

A Puzzle in Economy.

There is a little puzzle in economy that the
average person never can hope to understand
II has been wonderfully illustrated by the
three recent increases in the price OF gaso-
line due it is said, to the increased export
demand. That means that the more gasoline
the oil producers sell the more they want
for it. This is out of line with the l0-cent
store idea. which was that the more goods
concern sold the cheaper they could be Of
fered 1t happens, too, that the same idea
has brought down the price OF automobiles
Formerly the closed automobiles brought a
high price because the demand was not strong
enough to justify production on large scale
Today, with the demand for it increased, the
prices have dropped amazingly. 1t seems
that the same rule does not work in all di-
rections in the same way

Where People Pass.
From the Macon News.

Whenever one OF the big concerns that
are in the chain-store business, such as the
cigar dealers, for example, think OF estab-
fishing branch in a certain city they send
out men who stand on the various corners
or thoroughfares and count the number OF
persons who pass a given point in the course
of a day.
These concerns have carried efficiency to
the highest power. They know the proper
ton OF trade they should get out of given
number OF passers-by and from this they
figure how much rent they can pay for a
place OF business on this street or that cor
ner, and set up their establishments accord
ingly.

Pointed Paragraphs.

A man who profits by wrong doing always
has an excuse ready.
If some men were paid only for what they
knew they would never possess more than
80 cents.
Some women would be without an earthly
mission if there were no gossip to circulate
Some girls require a lot OF ready cash in
order to succeed in the business OF looking
for a husband
Don't attempt to belittle others because
YOU feel that they are superior to yourself.
