"It matters not how deep entrenched
the wrong,
low hard the battle goes, the day
how long;
Faint not, fight on!
Tomorrow comes the song."
?Maltbie B. Babcock.
The legalized sale of whiskey "lo?.
Revenue" is a snare and delusion of
the devil. "The "revenue" does not
appear, never did appear, never will
appear.
The cry used to be: "Prohibition
won't prohibit." The fear now is
that it will?there's the rub. With
the new federal laws upon the subject,
it will be quite a different situation.
?_. J??
"But the masters, seeing that tla,
hope of their gain was gone, laid hold
of Paul and Silas, and dragged them
into the market-nlare he-Torn the nil.
ers. And having brought them to the
fnagistrates, they said, 'These men,
being .lews, are greatly disturbing
our city; and proclaiming customs,
which it is not lawful for us to receive,
or to observe, being Romans.'
And the crowd rose up together
against them." It is the hope of gain
destroyed that lends vigilance and
zeal to the whiskey dealer and the
whiskey manufacturer. Money has
power to work wonders, upon a man's
faith. And when a man's soul is sat
isfied by such a sop, he is to be pitied.
Thank God, our people are realizing
"the life is more than meat and the
body than raiment."
England is about to declare cotton,
a contraband of war. The wonder is
that she did not take that attitude before.
If coton is used in great quantities
in the manufacture of war explosives,
it would be as naturally
placed upon the contraband list as
' opper steel, or even rifles. For England
to seize cotton shipped to he;enemy
does not mean that she will
confiscate the cotton; she will have
to pay for it. True we may not get
as much as Germany would pay. Rut
were Germany the one seizing cu.
inn, not nnjriano, we would fare no
retter. And Uermanv's attitude is
one that would indicate little, if any |
consideration. We are willing that
Krijrland should place cotton on the i
(ontrahand list. That will, we firm
iy heliete, hasten the end of the war.
We may just as well tret ready to J
noid the hulk of the incoming crop
in this country for some months. If
that can be done, cotton will brincc
t
irood price.
lonesville citizens are a hit soi ^
over the fact that the highway vthich
we hope to have come to Union will
pass through Union to (Jlenn Springs, '
thus leaving Jonesville out. In jus- J
lice to Union it must he said that \
the pull for thi?s road this time came s
from (ilenn Springs?Union merely 1
fell in line, as we understand it. Biu
then, the matter may he remedied, j
If Jonesville will raise five hundred i
dollars, Supervisor Jeter says he will
use all diligence to do as much for
the Jonesville road as for the road to
i ilenn Springs. And that will he got- <
ting two roads instead of one. It is
safe to say that ten times as much l
traffic jroes ovci the Jonesville road ^
to one over the (ilenn Springs road.
VV< sincerely hope both roads may he I
improved. Personally we use the
.lonesvillc road perhaps fifty times to
where we use the Glenn Sprinffs road
one time.
I he mol) j>ot I.eo M. Frank, goinj; <
rijrht into (leoriria State penitentiary '
after him. It is a very tiffly thintr |
these citizens did -no douht of it. It ,
was an unlawful act and oes not re- <
fleet credit upon the citizenship of
our neighboring state. Hut there is '
more than the superficial fact of
Frank's death at th< hands of a mob.
It is going to happen again and yel
again, and in other states as well as
Georgia, unless there be found i
eure for the affliction that besets us
The wonder is that it did not happei
in this state more than once during
the past few years. The people an
losing faith in our courts. The aver
age man has come to feel that nione;
and not fact counts in the courts
The lengths to which attorneys an
too often allowed to go, the long ae
lays of the law, the almost impossi
ble conviction of the worst criminal?
these are things wel known by ever;
thoughtful man. To have gon
through that and come face to fa^
with one man who has power to und'
all that had been done?it was a bi
too much?certainly too much fo
certain of the Georgia people.
The contempt in which the law an
the courts are held is daily growinj
more pronounced. The juggling wit!
words, the multiplication of techni
calities, the power of money?thes<
and many othert things are conspir
ing to make the great mass of tlv
people regard the law as a thing t<
spit upon. The unpunished murderei
rapist, incendiary, will ultimately pro
duce the mob violence. The growinj
number of people who no longer be
lieve in capital punishment, who be
gin to heap upon the murdered o
other hideous violator of law grea
showers of sympathy and aid need t
get to a clearer view of the law'
sternness. You cannot shake dowi
the need for capital punishment unti
capital crimes cease. You cannot rel
>gate the so-called barbarism of ti.
death penalty until the barbarism o
murderer, rapist and treason ar
things of the past. To do so is to de
velop not mercy but a chicken-hearte<
weaKnes that spells the doom of ou
civilization.
