Wilson S True Democracy
Baltimore Sun.


The strength Of Democratic principle lies in tins
fact that they apply conditions today just fifty
they applied conditions when the party had its
birth than century ago. That is to say the
founder and father Of the party adopted its creed
and platform those principles of Justice and Of the
rights of which eternal. That is why
hear much about "Jeffersonian Democracy" JEFF
fersonian Democracy is old but set
to it the better for the country.
Former Governor Edwin Warfied. in a forceful in
teryiew published in the Sun yesterday declared
he had been brought to the OF
row Wilson for president because
ed that Governor Wilson has been, by his teaching,
leading the people back to George Mason Thomas
Jefferson to the Declaration of Independence
Virginia Bill of Rights"
Governor warfeld's conclusion is that Governor
Wilson is not radical teacher Of strange doc
trine but who is bent on restoring the ancient
landmarks and bringing the ship back tG its
mornings from which it has been steadily drifting
Governor Warfield in his public career always
addicted to the method which attracted so large
following to Governor Wilson. That method is to de
the peoples work where the people how 1t Is
done-and that is true Democracy. If special privi
leges are to be granted it be under cover
and whenever anything cover the people
have good for suspicion.
This is a genuinely Democratic position and sIl
the candidates and all their friends can meet on a
platform like this, because it is of planks from
the original Jeffersonian workshop.

"WHAT.S YOUR HURRYa"

In his trenchant sketches of life as he found it
in the United States Arnold Bennett fouts the idea
commonly entertained, that Americans over
wrought, pellmeI folk who are galoping themselves
to the grave. Nowhere in his recent tour of this
country, he declares, not even in New York, did he
discover, to any striking extent. that American
rush" Of which he had heard. The people move
briskly but not nervously; there is much ado
business but neglect of recreation; and about
many happy loiterers be found in this country
in any part of the civilized world Such are Mr..
BENEFITS impressions; and surely there is writer
of the time more keen of eye and skilled of pen in
observing and reporting social manners and humors.
But here authority equally eminent in
another field who declares that the tension of mod
life" particularly in America, is producing de-
fectives, mental and physical and moral, in all
grades of our society. Indeed, this rush." DR..
Max G. Schlapp, of the Cornell Medical School
it. has become grave menace to the advancement
Of nations and the wellbeing Of mankind. In a re-
cent issue of the Outlook this distinguished specialist
says: THAT the strain of modern Industrial life is
having effect upon men, and especially upon wom-

impair the vigor and the faculties of great proper

into the world, that the effect is in injury

crease in the proportion of the mentally defective
the mentally unbalanced and the delinquent; and
that the resultant conditions are such that only by
radical change in the present tendencies modern
civilized peoples be saved from going the way of the
Greeks and the Romans"
This view may appear a shade too heightened;
yet must be admitted to contain the color of truth
BY no means will it apply to all America nor per-
haps even to the majority of Americans. Yet, the
fevered tendencies to which the doctor refers are
manifest; we feel them as a contagion in the air
and often as a strange maady in our souls. 70
The irony of it all is that we should undoubtedly
accomplish as much or more, if we went serenely
and humanity instead of jerking ahead like madly
driven machines; for it often turns out in this

FLOWING WITH DYNAMITE.

AS an aid to agriculture dynamite seems to be
coming into wider and wider use. number of
years ago the West particularly California adopted
it as an easy and effective means of breaking up the
SOIL Gradually, it has found favor among the plant
ers of the East and today it is not nfrequenty en-
ployed for the same purpose in the South.
The methods by which the explosive is applied
are very simple small hole is made in the
ground and in this is placed stick of twenty pen
cent dynamite. This, says the Boston Transcript
causes a breaking up of the hardpan and puts it
in such condition that the rootlets of plants can
pierce to a greater depth. 1t also furnished reser-
voirs of moisture from which vegetation can draw
during especially dry periods
One authority declares that fruit tree will often
flourish with trebbled luxuriance and rapidty when
planted in "dynamite-dug hole" The food elements
of the soil are rendered more easily accessible to the
myraid little faments; the latent fertility of the land
is opened; and a finer crop is the result.
There appears to be little testimony to the
comparative cost of dynamting and blowing. 1t may
be inferred however, that the former, if integently
applied would be the cheaper and it would also
to be more expeditions.
1t is not expected that dynamite will ever sup
plant patient and orderly methods of cultivation.
Certainly it can take the place of careful study
and development of the soil For certain conditions
and problems, however, it has evidently justified it.

WORSE THAN OLD BAGDAD.

Il is doubtful If the house numbers in ancient
sgdad were much more bewildering than those of
modern Atlanta. Indeed, they less so, for Bag
dad had no house numbers all, whereas Atlanta's
are scattered such higgIedypiggledy fashion that
they become within themselves, a grievous puzzle.
In the city Of the Great Haroun when one wished to
be sure OF finding particular residence he simply
marked its door with a bit of crayon. But in this
community. such plan viii suffice. If happens
to be a stranger. pOstman parcels deliverer
not familiar with a special neighborhOod, he must
frequently pick his way from house to house and
street to street with assurance that the number
on his book will correspond to the he is seeking
The fact is Atlanta's system Of house numbering is
pitifully antiquated and unsatisfactory.
These conditions were brought to the attention
OF the street committee of the Council Friday after
noon By Mr. Kriegshaber, representing the Chamber
Of Commerce and by officials of the local postofice
Il is earnestly to be hoped that the problems they
clearly pointed out viii no longer be neglected by
Council.
In this connection three improvements are sorely
needed.
The numbering Of the houses should be rearranged
under the centenary system.
Where street names are duplicated-and this is
not infrequently the case-One or the other of the
names should be changed.
And all streets, particularly at intersections
should be adequately posted.
None Of these suggestions is new; each Of them
has occurred to hundreds Of citizens, hundreds of
lines a year. They have been vigorously urged in
the past They should now be adopted by Council
without further procrastination.

lives of modish vice to which they are addicted!
Are they not the living embodiment of rebellion
against the authority of God?
On the other hand, there not classes among

or robbing corporation is not sinful?
Is not the dedication of power of every sort the
besetting sin of our modern industrial world? Is
not the fundamental maxim of that world the God
defying principle that whatever one can do success
fully he may do unscrupulously"?
If these be the results that have come in christer
dom. where the Industrial arts have grown up side
by side with churches and where moral life has in
measure kept pace with material progress what
must be the effect in China when the productive in
ventions Of the world are suddenly seized by the
Chinese in advance of the restraining and elevating
forces Of christian morality? Can Confucian ethics
be relied upon to control the vast forces of modern
industrialism suddenly let loose among a people who
compose one-fourth of the race?
The petty objections which some men are making
to Christian missions than folly They are
hindering the only enterprises which safeguard
the interests of the at this critical period in
human history. The missionary enterprise in saving
the heather world will also maintain the security OF
the Christian nations nothing else can To oppose
it is nothing less than treason to mankind To be
Indifferent TO it is inhumanity towards men and
insurgency against the kingdom of heaven.
We should also bear in mind that the work of
missions must be FASTENED as never before The
forces Of material civilization running rapidly
the world, and they must not be permitted I'd
outrun the moral forces of Christianity. Cviliza,
ton without moral life will take fire by spontaneous
combustion
There is no religion capable of controlling the
material forces which have taken their rise in
chrstendom except the Christian religion under the
quickening light Of which they have to their
birth. The inventions Of christendom are going
round the world and the code Of Christ must go with
them to control them; for if they go without such
control they will rather than bless the nations
to which they go.

GEORGIA;S SECOND CHOICE
FOR DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

Georgia's presidential primary has shown that
the voters first choice for the Democratic nomina-
fion Is Congressman Underwood.
It has shown. with equal emphasis that their
second choice is Woodrow Wilson.
Georgia's delegates to the Baltimore convention
win. therefore. be bound. first Of ALL to vote
unit for the Albanian and to stand by his candi-
dacy so long he has chance. Should it develop
however that he is of the contest and the dele
gates from this state should be called upon to
express second choice. they would then, as a
matter Of justice to the people they represent, be
obligated to support Woodrow Wilson.
This is not a partisan or political claim but
simply clear statement of the rights and the
obvious wishes OF the Georgia electorate. There
were four candidates voted for in presidential
primary last Wednesday-Un Wilson, Har-
mon and Clark Mr.. Underwood received plurality
Of all the ballots cast Next to him, and indeed not
very far behind him, came Governor Wilson as the
popular preference. The vote for Harmon and for
Clark was almost negligible
This result can mean but one thing: That
people want Underwood nominated. If he can be; in
the event that is Impossible, they want Wilson
nominated. AS trustees Of the people at the
national convention. 1.-THE Georgia delegates will
therefore be bound to cast their support. first for
Underwood. and so long as he is in the contest;
but, should he be eliminated to go to wilson That
Is the virtual mandate of the people at the polls and
it is the business Of the delegates to carry out the
peoples will.
Had the results of the primary been reversed
this would be equally true. If Wilson had received

highest number it would be the duty OF t 1ele-
gates to support Wilson first; and in the event of
his withdrawal. to support Underwood. The prin-
cipIe remains the same regardless Of who the can
didates may be or their relative strength.
The primary determined two things That I'm

Wilson is their second choice. If. then. the dele
