While our opponents are endeavoring to isolate us among, the nations of the world, we are following the vision of the founders of the republic who promised the world the counsel and leadership of the free people of the United States on al] matters that affected human libertj and the justice of law. That promise we deliberately renewed when we entered the great war for human freely 0T?r1 wo r?nw faith with those | UVU1 uuu tt V who-died in Flanders fields to redeem it.

TO PROTECT PAPERS FROM FAKE NEWS Atlanta, Ga., July 3.?With the idea of affording protection to the newspapers and to the general public of Georgia, Representative John Y Smith of Fulton, will introduce next week in the legislature a bill making it a misdemeanor for any person to furnish false information to a newspaper. ' 1 1 XI- .J. XL J it is understood mat me necu iw such legislation has been emphasized recently by the fact that various newspapers throughout the state have been imposed upon by unscrupulous persons prompted by motives of revenge. Instances have occurred within the last two weeks where false announcements of marriages and engagements have been furnished to newspapers and in one case notably, that of a young lady in Dublin, Ga., the publication of such an announcement is alleged to have caused hex to commit suicide. Mr. Smith's bill is expected to receive the solid support %of both branches of the legislature, as favorable expressions were heard today by all members to whom the subject was mentioned.

Viewed in connection with the recent conviction of a Republican senator from the state of Michigan for the crimij nal transgression of the law limit ing expenditures on behalf ol a candidate for the United States senate, it indicates the reentry under Republican auspices, of money as an influential factor in elections, thus nullifying the letter and f.aunting the spirit of numerous laws, enacted by the people to protect the ballot from the contamination of corrupt practices. We deplore these delinquen-j cies and invoke their stern popular! rebuke, pledging our earnest efforts; to a strengthening: of the present i statutes against corrupt practices and j their rigorous enforcement. "We remind the people that it was; only by the return of a Republican ; senator in Michigan, who is now un-j der conviction and sentence for the j criminal misuse of money in his elec-; tion, that the present organization of j the senate, with a Republican major- \ ity was made possible.
