In Colorado women vote for
president. The states vote may
become indispensable. Many Par
ker managers think it easier to
carry Colorado, Idaho and Nevada
than Indiana. In some Western
states women cast from thirty to
forty per cent of the vote.
The farmers in different sections
of Kansas are organizing compan-
les and purchasing steam plows.
One reason for this, scarcity of
farm hands. The plows have %
horsepower engines and one ma
chine will pillow forty acres a day.

ber's whole field in week.
The promise of Judge Parker
not to be a candidate ought to
strengthen the public faith in his
determination to discharge the du-
ties of the office, with an eye single
to the public welfare, according to
his best Judgment. The example
of Roosevelt working for a second
term will give importance to Mr.,
Parker's declaration not to be q
candidate for a second term.

CHAMP CLARK.

From the Augusta, Ga, Chronl-
Gle of Aug. 18th, 1904.
Hon. Champ Clark has such a
wide reputation for wit aud humor
that some of our contemporaries
feared for the result of his address
to Judge Parker, prior to delivery.
One of these brethren, the Balti-

souri, orators speech as being force
full, dignified and in perfect good
taste, an altogether happy deliv-
ance.
Champ Clark knows how to be
wise as we'll as sarcastic and
mirth-provoking. He is an all
round speaker and a serious man,
when the occasion serves. He has
been more fortunate than the late

tendency to humorous illustration
had handicapped his natural tenn

eloquent when he chose. He de
clared that the biggest mOnu

not correct, but it was his way o
protesting against taking thing
too seriously, at all times.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD.

This issue of THE DAWSON NEWS
marks the end of the twenty.se1ond
wear of its existence.
Having successfully attained this
ace. the paper can but feel somewhat
proud of it's record of comparative
longevity, and is grateful to those who
have contributed TO it's support.
It's management has endeavored to
give to the people of Dawson and Ter
rell county a newspaper worthy OF
their patronage, and that it has sue
ceeaed. in some degree at least, is evil
denced by the fact that at no time
since the@publication of The NEWS
was begun has the business of the
paper been in more satisfactory con-
dition than it is now.
Important improvements viii soon
be made, and it is our purpose to make
the twenty-third volume OF The DAW-
SON NEWS the best in its history.
OF course we are counting on your
help TO do it.

DAwSoN'S HEALTH ENDANGERED.

Embodyipg strong appeal TO the
city officials, ex-Mayor j. W. F. Low
rev has communication elsewhere IN
The News calling attention to the exist
ence of ''dry wells" in Dawson and the
thereby positive menace to the health
of hundreds of citizens. Mr.. Lowrey
insists that these wells are breeders OF
disease, and cites the deplOrable ex'
perience of a number of cities that
have undergone a scourge OF typhoid
fever as a result of such eOntamina-
tiOn.,
In connection with Mr.. LoWrey's
communication appears statement
from leading physicians OF Dawson
certifying that in their opinion the
wells in question are unsanitary, and
NAV result in the disastrous conse-
nuence of an epidemic of fever.
In view of the facts furnished by
Mr., Lowrey and the opinion OF the
physicians named The News feels
called upon to insist that the matter
be looked into Immediately and steps
taken to prevent a possible Danger to
health and te.
The duty of the city officials in this
matter is plainly apparent. The News
is reliably informed that there is
already city ordinance making the
construction and use OF these systems
unlawful, passed during the admiuis-
tration of former Mayor Cheatham,
and that it was enforced for some time.
AS far as we can ascertain this ordl'
nance has never been repealed, and ii
these wells are now being used in the
city the act of so doing is in direct con-
hict with the municipal laws. What
ever may have been responsible for the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the ordinance
heretofore, it now seems that the stu
alton demands that the enactment
cease to be a nullity. Too much Is
stake for Indifference or inaction.
Will the city authorities fail to en-,
force an ordinance whose enforcement
means better health conditions and
the possible prevention OF disease and
death? We believe not. The question
has been presented to them reasona
bly,, and they must In justice to them
selves and in justice TO the people
ans wer it as they should.

THE CRUEL WAR is OVER.

The fierce Seven Days War is ended,
the clash, of resounding arms has ceas-
ed. the dead and wounded have been
gathered up from the twice-scarreo
battlefelds of Virginia and the serried
ranks OF brown and blue are once
again united in the bonds OF brother
hood and peace-the Manassas ma
neuvers are over.
II is a question, in the mind of the
civic lesser light at least, whether or
not the play at war has been worth the
cost. H. was accomplished at a tremen-
dous expenditure TO the government,
the total estimate of expense being
placed at the sum of 81 900, 600.
To the uninitiated the reports of
strategic movements, the deadly re-
suits of shrieking canister and shrap-
mel, the whole game of "war" as sent
out from the scene of the conflict, have
read like a comic opera. But even
admitting that the experience has
been a profitable one to the partici-
pants it would take a greater tnancier
than Morgan to convince the majority
of Deople that the investment was a
good one for Upcle Sam.

Unsatisfactory State of Affairs at DEM
cratic Headquarters.

According to the Herald and the
World of New York an unsatisfactory
condition of affairs exists at democratic
HEADQUARTERS. The Herald is engaged
! in belittling the WORK of Chairman
Tagpart, and the World claims that
the friction in the national committee
is due to the designs of August Bel
mont TO supplant Taggart and run
things himself. This situation Is most
I unfortunate for the democrats, and the
sooner it is removed the better 1t Will
be for the party. This Is wnat Ine
| World has to say:
"August Belmont's ambition to be
known as the dominant power in the
democratic national committee is at
the bottom OF the paralysis that seems
to have seized the democratic national
committee. Chairman Taggart, who
! would become mere subaltern ii Bel
mont's ambition were realized, is fight
ing for mis- political existence, and the
uational con mitIee is in deadlock.
"BelmOut's plan is the establishment
of a branch headquarters in the west
with Taggart in charge. The main
Headquarters here he would leave un.
der the Joint control of himself and W..
F. Sheehan. The western branch
would be dependent on the eastern
headquarters for funds and the name
of Belmont or Sheehan, and not Tag
CART, would head the political articles.
1t is fight for place in history.
"As a threat to compel compliance
with this scheme Belmont holds the
refusal of Wall streets support, and
no is reOarded as pOssesed of far-reach-
ing influence in that quarter. Bel
mont's demand is addressed to Shee-
han, and eventually Sheehan, who is
the personal representative of Parker,
must decide. Belmont is being aided
by the editorial attitude of the New
York democratic newspaper which has
belittled the work of Taggart.
"Taggart has appealed TO some OF
the chief democrats outside OF New
York to prevent his dethronement.
Meanwhile funds are being collect
ed slowly and the work of organization
in the doubtful states is tagging"

JUDGE PARkER'S WISE WORDS.

Two hundred democratic editors
called on Judge Parker at Esopus
Thursday, and the visit was made the
occasion of very timely and sensible
speech by the democratic candidate
In the course of his remarks he said:
"Our adversaries are entreuch-
ed in full possession of every de-
partment of the government, ana
it is a mistaken policy that would
drive away voters that would help
to ousU them. The cause cannot
be advanced by attacks on others
within the party with whom we
have had disagreements but who
are now working with US for
common result. All men who nave
attained any degree of prominence
have their friends, and the exer'
else of ordinary prudence torolds
the alienation of allies VINO are
willing and anxious to assist

no harm in giving voice TO the ad-
monition, thata harmonious co OPP
Grafton of all and the elimination
of personal, factional and unimpor-
tant differences involving no sur
render of principle are essential
to success"
Those are the words of a wise man
and a good democrat, and should be
needed even here in Georgia, where
we have two or three newspapers that
are too busy fighting loyal party lead
ers to turn their guns on the enemy.
AS this paper has before remarked,
if Judge Parker is defeated his 1901
friends will be largely the cause OF it,
They should profit by his advice, and
change their course toward other
members of the party.
