LACK OF INFORMATION.
Lack of information often causes
unjust judgments as well as unkind
criticisms. We are all prone to finu
fault and to pass unjust judgment
upon our fellows, and if we would only
get correct information it would frequentlp
prevent us from making mistakes
and passing unkind criticisms
"upon our neighbors.
Somehow the human being takes a
delight as a rule in thinking unkindly
of his fellowman and of according to
him improper motives and selfish purtn-ikps
Tt ,is the animal and the hu
man that /is in us. Lack of information
has caused many grievous mistakes
and made many people pass hasty
judgment which in their thoughtful
and deliberate !rame of mind they
would nossibiv resret. 'but may be the
injury has already been done, and you
know a false rumor once started can
never be overtaken, but it gains volume
and momentum as it rolls.
The fuelless Monday order does not
apply to the newspapers in the publication
of their regular editions, as we
understand the order, and as we have
had it interpreted to us by the officials.
At the same time The Herald and
News would -be glad to join with the
-other enterprises in observing the day,
and we stated in our last Tuesday
Taper that we would like to observe
the day, but conditions were such that
we were obliged to print on Monday in
order to get qut a paper/ but that ws
would -close our shop on Tuesday, and
this we did. Xow we do not see where
it makes any difference What day we
observe. As a matter of fact we lose
by printing on Monday because all the
business houses are closed and we
'aave no opportunity to solocit business.
We stated that we had a good
reason for taking Tuesday instead of
Monday without giving the season. We
d>id not feel that it made any difference
.but since we have heard that
there are those who are disposed to
say unkind things of us and to criticise
The Herald and News for keeping
open on Monday, we will say that
we have opportunity to have Mr. E.
P. Hammond to come down from Clinton
and set soma type for us on Mou
day, whereas he could not come on
g,?/ Tuesday. It is expensive, but we de
sire to give as good paper as we can,
and go to the expense. We hope goon
to' have an operator, but until we do
get one we are doing-the""best we can.
We have no doubt that we are doin^
/ just as much, and possibly a darn
sight more, to serve our country than
some of our critics. And making just
as many sacrifices. Some of them have
Tnor?o rinccifhlv from la^'r
of information and some from a purelymean
and selfish heart. For the latter
we have only pity and for the
former we give this information.
^ f
The Herald and News is printing
the speech of Senator Chamberlain in
answer to the charges of President
Wilson as it appeared in the Atlanta
Constitution. We supose it is the Associated
Press story and that the other
papers which we have had cut out a
;portion of it. We printed the charge
of President Wilson that Mr. Chamberlain
had distorted the facts, in
other words, had not told the truth.
It seems but right that Mr. Chamber
Iain's answer should be given. The
speech speaks for itself. It may be as
Mr. Chamberlain says that the president
made the charge against the
senator because of a lack of (Information.
It may be that it is the best
policy not to let the people have the
facts. But we do not think so. This
is not the president's war nor the war

of the departments, but it is our wa
and our boys are in the camps pr<
paring to go to the front, and som
of them are there already, and v>
have a right to know how they are an
how they are being treated, and
they need anything that we can do f<
thcmi so that we may do it. In oth<
words, we do not believe in so muc
secrecy and the holding from us tl
facts. So far as keeping the inform;
tion from the Germans is concern*
t we are not doir.g that even with a
I the eftores to keep us, the people, wi
1 have our boys on the firing line, fro
j pnowing about our boys.
It ds true that this is no time f<
j mouthing and talking and discussii
and playing politics, but if it is tri
also that our boys are dying for wa:
of proper raiment and overcrowdii
| in the tents, and that they are suffe
| ing across the seas for the same thii
i and for food ,we can sea no reason
i
, keepdng it from the people, and if tl
! cause is inefficient management th*
| v.ut the inefficients out of position,
j is too serious a matter for us to 1
j quarreling- about. It should cause us
. get together and co-operate to relie1
| the situation. If us, whose war the:
boys are fighting, know the facts ar
the needs it will arouse those wl
; need arousing to a more active pe
j fcrmance of their duties.

i
ftYe are frank to confess that we <
| not see anything in the two editoria

I and the State council for defense
' cause Representaeives Hughes ar

! sonal privileges and denouncing tl
[ newspaper. The State has saiid son
I much more caustic things than ai
j said in these two editorials. We he
i not read them until we noticed ti
! personal privilege remarks of tl
j members.
The truth of the matter is that pro]
| erty is all assessed remarkably lo
j and we knew and said at the tin
; when the -commission got to land th<
! there would be a howl, because it
all way below the price at which
sells. But in estimating its value f(

As to the council for defence, we c

i tried to co-operate with it as 'best v
could, with the state and county cou]
oils, and have given what aid was

I has been more or less politics, ai
generally more, in all the appoir
ments that have been made during tl
j war. We have no quarrel with ai
j of the appointments, but if you w
i look at them you will find that all
I them are supporters of the apopintii

j in the doctrine to the victors beloi
the spoils, but in these times when \

and when there was such a large m
