NO USE FOR WALKING STICK
>verage American, In Hustle Of Lie,
Has No Time for Unneces-
sary Cargo.

Now that we are reminded of It. we
realize that the great American peo-
pie are seldom seen to possess a
walking stick. Its a small thing"
writes an essayist in morning paper,
the absence Of the walking stick, but
1t belongs to the American motto,
never. in the hustle of life, carry un-
necessary cargo"
The idea is, OF course, fantastic
with the fantasy of transporting COM
mon sense. The hustle of life surely
extends to travel in the case of a ma
ton which would consider itself de-
graded If it spent longer than a week
In complete journey through Eur
ope; and when Americans travel they
are the last to deny themselves the
luxury of an extra bit of luggage be-
cause 1t happens to be unnecessary.
1t is common knowledge that they go
on loading the liner with trunks until
the company's officials say STOP" If
only to collect so many more steam
ship and hotel labels to add to their
already bloated store Of these
trophies.
No. The walking stick is a matter
purely Of personal choice Most
Americans chance to feel no need for
walking stick whereas we do. That
Is how the thing stands. When it
comes to walking stick the world
must be considered individually. The
physical weakling is quite likely to
have a taste for gigantic club; the
enormously powerful man who snaps
his Sandow developer before break
fast as though 1t were a piece of cot
ton may select for walking stick the
thinnest shred of malacca that money
can buy.-London Globe.

seems to be similar TO an argument
which a man shiveTing in the cold
night have with himself over the
question as TO whether he should buy
a shirt or a pair Of trousers. The fact
is both articles are needed in the
winter and likewise roads and bridges
are both necessary in Grady county at
the present time. The $4,000 which
j. is proposed to spend for bridges
Is a mere bagatelle. compared with
the sum needed for any road improve
ment worth while. and without suit

would be lost Come to think Of il,
a bridge is really a part Of road.

oNE rAsK FoR DEMOCRATS.

Observers on the political watch
towers cannot fail to discern the ris-
ing tide Of democracy.
It has been coming for several
years and it looms up larger every

that it vill submerge the entire coun-
try in November. 1912.

fostered BY the republican party. The
break OF the Insurgents with the
regulars was the first open marked
symptom Of the revolt against the
old regime. The people said it was
good and hence they went little
further than the insurgents, sending
10 congress majority pledged to gen
uine reforms. Those democrats in
congress have given US a sample Of
their work and the country wants more
Of it
The nation is ripe for a change in
1912 and the paramount duty Of every
democrat at this hour is to lend his in
fIuence toward that end. We have
many ambitious sons, men eager to
occupy this office and the other in
state and nation. but our opinion is
that the distribution Of party honors
is less important than party success.
The man who is a democrat from
principle is concerned chiefly with the
triumph Of the principles for which
re stands. The struggle for personal
honors and office necessarily breeds
strife and often factions and on this
rock the democratic ship has fire.

part we stand first for democratic

democrats to the one task before US

GRADY COUNTY NEEDS MORE

By Mr. Riddle in his communication
relative to the road law is pertinent
as far as the Immediate issue before
tie house is concerned. While by pc
tition, as Mr.. Riddle points out. the
entire county Fn be organized into
a road district, it is not within the pro
vince OF the commissioners to origi-
nate such a movement, but they are
empowered to take the initial steps to-
ward bridge construction.
As we understand the original sug-
gestion OF Dr. Hanna he meant that
thar commissioners should submit a
bond issue for roads instead of for
bridges, but Mr.. Herndon has shown
clearly that this is not possible under
Oul statutes.
