Under the title, "You Can't Keep a Squirrel on the Ground," the At' k lanta Georgian has the following editorial : Are we downhearted? Ar^ we pessimistic? Are we quitters?we Georgians? Has the x time arrived when we incline to throw up the sponge and call it a - battle lost? TJhe governor of the commonwealth doesn't think so. Anckhe * has been visiting around and about among the people "rather extensively of late. For weeks, he has been looking in on the many county fairs throughout the State, meeting the pebple, face to face; talking to them, heart to heart?getting their views, the best and the worst of it. I (Sovernor Hardwick finds that the people of Georgia?the ru-% ral people, wjf.ch is four-fifths of Georgia?have been pretty hard hit of late months. They haven't much money on hand; and not all of their debts are paid. They ca^ tell long and moving tales of untoward fortune and even distress. But,.for the most part, they don't. They do not make light of their misfortunes and hardships; .. . they're there,'and they are takv en into consideration. But their * eyes are hopefully upon the glad tomorow, nevertheless. They are buckling down to hard work; and they are antici patmg better and happier days ahead. They are not grieving over spilt milk nearly so much* as they are contemplating a :l j paying supply before long. That's what the governor has found^to be the state of mind of the average Georgian. And may God bless-him and keep him. He may die, but he never surrenders?and he's feeling well enough nowadays to suspect he isn't going to die, either, not by a long shot! There is a whole lot in (his which we might learn with profit and practice with more profit. Especially might we put into practice that part of the editorial which says of the Georgians "They are buckling down to hard work." Good hard work is what it is going to take to cure the errors and misfortunes from which we are now suffering. Good hard work 'at the same t:me will keep our minds off the hardships attending our present condition. Then let everybody go to work. WOULD MAKE CHANGE IN LABOR BOARD Chicago, Nov. 10.?Recommendation that the United States railroad, labor board be changed from its present form of three representatives each from the carriers, employees, and oublie. to a board of five persons 'representing the public, was amons the changes in the administration of the railroads considered today by the national Industrial Traffic League, I representing many slvppac-s of the \ country. Other changes suggested wore that' \jn disputes where shippers were affected, the shippers should be heard that no decisions should bo given by j the board without consultation with the interstate Commerce commission, and that certificates of convenience and necessity be not required where a ra'lroad operates in one state only. Accord'ng to the official figures the strength of the French army in 1921 will be 38,473 officers and (>9G,000 men. i [CALIFORNIA EDUCATOR COMPLIMENTS JUDGE BENET Enthusiasm Aroused by Fundamental and Worth While Things in His Address. Judge W. C. Benet has received the following letter: A few days ago your son, Sam M. Benet, did me the honor to send me a pamphlet copy of your address before the graduating class of the Abbeville, S. C., High School and the reading of it afforded me so much pleasure and genuine satisfaction that I asked him for your post office address, that I might send you a nersonal assurance of mv hieh an preciation of the noble thoughts you brought to the attention of these young people as well as the most admirable style of this presentation. Having given my entire life to educational interests in ^California, since my graduation in 1867 from Furman vUniversity, in Greenville, S. C., I can ^ully appreciate the importance of the occasion on which your excellent message was delivered, and have been frequently called upon to perform a similar service. But my interest and. enthusiasm has been strongly aroused by the fervor and manifest sincerity in which you enforced the things that are fundamental and worth while to that group of youths at so critical a period of their educational development. Especially inspiring is it to read your commendation of the history of our noble old state, the virtues and high principles for which its people have ever stood; especially those men who have left their impress upon both the State and the nation and those women who have made the name of South Carolina a synonym of virtue, courtesy and hospitality. I have often had occasion in this splendid western country to speak of the social and political conditions of the South, previous to the Civil war, as a civilization sui generis; and it (Joes me good to follow in your address the footsteps of that manly dignity and sense of honor with which my recollections of Carolina citizenship are always associated. t . Though a loyal and devoted citizen of California for more than a half century, I can never forget the teachings and the example of those men of culture, refinement and scholarship who directed the institutions of learning in the old Palmetto State and who made and executed her, laws. I had friends and schoolmates from AVihpvillp in tVip St.atp Militarv ArsH emy at Charleston and in Furman University at Greenville, and I should like to send my greetings to the grand children of these friends now doubtless comprising a portion of the High School classes of that community. I trust they will prove true descendants of a noble ancestry and perpetuate the principles for which their fathers stood, j Very respectfully, Melville Dozier. Los Angeles, Calif. A YOUNG STUDENT.
