POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE.

From down in Georgia somes q
song that has sentiment which
should appeal with equal force in the
0or,h and west. Now that the election
Is over it may be considered dispas-
sIonately, especially so since it is
from the other side of the political
fence.
In Tuesdays election" says the
Atlanta Constitution, the southern
states began the writing of their po-
litcal declaration Of independence.
The result means that the time has
passed when a resident Of one of these
states must buy his social security,
often. perhaps, at the price of his po-
litical convictions.
Many business men, the south
over, most of them adherents of the
democracy all their lives. dare to sup
port hopefully and openly the can
dldates of the republican party, be-
cause their conviction led them that
way,
The Constitution is indorsing their
action only to the extent of saying
they were right in giving material ex-
preston to their true convictions. We
may differ with them upon the wis
dom of their choice, without once
putting it upon sectional grounds.
Just here let us say to those who
may be disposed TO criticise this posi-
ton, that the pursuit OF political con-
viction and the freedom of political
action are bigger and broader ques-
tions than any fixed idea of party al
ignment based on tradition local or
general; and the Constitution will be
found fighting for sound and progress
sive democratic principles long after
those who may see fit to carp and
cavil at these views are gone and
forgotten.
What the south needs is few
doubtful states; then it will be in po-
sition to demand and get something.
1T need not traditionally to follow
the past, but progressively to support
men and measures that will build and
strengthen the nation and the south
along with it.
"The Constitution believes that
while the policies of the two great
parties remain as they are, the sue
cess of most of those represented by
the national democracy would best
subserve the general public good.
But we believe there is cause for
qualification in the advent of a senti-
ment which admits the right to exer,
else reasonable political conviction
and which will insure the south's po-
l!tical independence"
That the south has suffered because
Of its rock-ribbed democracy there is
no doubt. But the rabid republican
states Of the north have Jared no bet
ter. The doubtful states alone get
what they deserve. There is nothing
in the hide-bound loyalty to party
name. 1t has been the curse of the
country. 1t will be until the people
learn that politics is largely hoa,
and begin to vote without prejudice.

Why?

Why can an elephant push heav-
ier load with his head than If he
dragged it?
Why would a horse travel faster
and further with his forelegs on
wheels than in the natural way?
Why can one man standing on one
foot resist the combined thrusts OF
three men?
Why does a long motor car travel
faster than a short one?

The East Ofegonian has no time
for profitless quibbling about things
that are dead and buried. If its
morning contemporary wishes to en-
gage in a debate it will have to take
up some subject Of present import
ance. such as the senatorship. But
before the morning paper does any
thing else it should learn to spell its
own name and to keep pi lines out Of
its lead editorials.

editorials are written; now many
court decisions are quoted, the legis-
