AS he passed the table at the Georgia
corn show upon which lay the wreath
placed there by the Atlanta Chamber Of
Commerce as a tribute to Ralph What
ley, of Fayette county, whose exhibit
had been sent there in accordance with
his dying wish Isaac w. Hill, of the
bureau of plant industry, Washington,
pinned a dollar to a sheet of paper upon
which he started a subscription list for
tombstone to be placed over the
grave of the heroic corn club boy.
Other visitors passed, saw the list
and left their dollars, until fund OF
about $25 was left beside the wreath
Arrangements have been made to add
to it and to place suitable stone and
Inscription above his grave.
Wreath Sent to Grave.
The wreath. after the closing of the
corn show, was sent to Fayette county
and placed on young Whatley's grave.
j. Phil Campbell, state agent of the
boys corn clubs has written Secretary
Walter G. Cooper. of the Atlanta Cham

Atlanta filed with enthusiasm to
make a better success next year

the expectation of returning again
next season.
Judging from the expression Of a
number of the business men who
entertained these boys, I believe
Atlanta will make an annual affair
OF the corn show for the corn club
boys.
Certainly they can not spend a
little time and money to better adj

THE SINGLE TERM.

1t takes time to amend the con
stitution of the United States. The
amendment providing for a six
year presidential term with no re-
election must be pushed with vigor
if it is 70 be adopted before 1916.
Resolutions for such an amend
ment are pending in both houses OF
congress. 1t is doubtful, however
if either is in form for final passage
The prohibition must be made abso-
lutte. No man who has served six
years in the presidency before the
adoption of the amendment should
be eligible to election afterward.
This must be made SO clear that it
can not be misconstrued
7s Only in this way can the country
get chance to attend to its proper
business, unvexd by bull moose
bawling.
45 The amendment must be scrutin-
lied with care before 1t is sent out
Ito the states; but it must not be
delayed. The first state election
held after the coming session of con-
gross should have chance to pass
upon this matter. There must be
no. loss of time and no lack of clear
ness in translating the anti-third
term tradition into constitutional
law. Chicago Journal.

DEMOCRATIC FUNDS AND CON-
TRIBUTORS. .,s

The statement that $1,000 per-
sons contributed to the Wilson and
Marshall campaign fund of SLIGO,
900 is accompanied by the informa-
,tion that the number of contribuI-
ors is the largest on record, while
the fund itself is the smallest on
which a successful campaign has
been made in recent years. Here,
then, are three interesting facts
An appeal to the people for cam
paign contributions is answered b.
less than 100000 out of more than
100000 voters belonging to the
party; the amount is less than half
what the corporations have given to
the high-protection party in times
past; yet is was enough for victory.
Money is needed in large sums to
manage national campaigns. Soc
ialists can obtain what they need
by charging admission fees to their
mass-meetings. The party of high
protection can get money from pro-
tected interests. The progressiyes
can get it from monopolists that
wish national incorporation and an
nterstate-Business Commission
Democracy must look to the people
for funds, even as the people must
look to democracy for justice and
fair play. -,

SENATOR CORES PLAN.

Senator Gore has proposed ten
tative plan for financing national
and congressional election cam
paigns out of the public purse He
proposes to allow each party a fixed
amount for each vote polled at the
next proceeding election and he
computes the total cost at $2,500,O0.
Had this been the law governing
the last election the republican
party which ran third, would have
had the largest fund; the democrat
ic party, which won, would have
mad smaller sum, and the progress
sives, who were second, would have
had nothing. This result would
hardly be regarded as case of
ideal justice. True, this was an ex-
ceptional year. What about other
years?
Ordinarily there are but two
parties in the field which have a
chance to win. Under the Gore plan
the stronger party will always have
the larger fund and this is without
regard to it's merit. 1t may be the
party which the whole country has
decided to repudiate. Clearly there
is something faulty with this. The
fault is that the man regards only
numbers. The ideal plan would be
one in which the parties would be
financed in proportion as the voters
believe the parties have merit. An
approximation to this ideal can be
reached by the method of popular
subscriptions under proper legal
regulation.
An average of $4,000 from each
state will raise about the same sum
which Senator Gore calculates the
democratic party would be entitled
to under his plan in national cleo
ton. There is no reason to doubt
that this average could be obtained
with proper organization and with
out depending upon a few rich men
to give the bulk Of it. A system
which so far as possible popularizes
a campaign fund will tend to give
each party a fund in proportion to
the merits of that party as the
people see them and that, surely. is
Just.
Senator Cores plan has one merit
only. 1t would relieve political
leaders of all sense Of obligation to
the very rich and liberal giver. Its
irremediable fault is that in such
elections as the last it would give
the peoples money most literally to
party which the people themselves
have decided to repudiate. Breath
ing the breath of life into moribund
political organizations is not func-
undertake. st. Louis Republic.

A STATESMAN OF EFFICIENCY

The chief advantage of college
education is the mental discipline it
enforces. The things actually learn
ed in college-technical schools
aside-are often forgotten and sell
dom used in later life. The habit of
straight thinking and earnest study
which man may acquire at college
stays with him to the end
The Journal feels that President
elect Wilson shows in remarkable
degree the benefits of college train
ing.
Wilson sees straight. thinks
straight, talks stra ight. He cannot
be confused, he cannot be led off on
side issues, he cannot be tangled in
words. His mind is alert, keen, re-
ceptive. 1t is trained like an ath-
lete's muscles. 1t responds instantly
to any new strain thrown upon it.
1t is clear mind, capable mind;
therefore it is an honest mind.
Mental dishonesty is the vice Of
slovenliness and the refuge of inca
pacity.
The keynote of Woodrow Will
sons nature is mental efficiency;
efficiency conferred by nature, rein
forced by high moral principles,
and astoundingly developed by edu-
cation. That efficiency has been
put at the service of his college, of
his state, and now it will be at the
service of his country.
1t is safe to predict a notable ad-
ministration from such a man. 1t
is safe to say that he will enrich the
noble traditions of the white house.
1t is safe to say that his only trouble
will spring from the very qualities
that give him strength. His hon
esty tends to make him unsuspicious
and his efficiency tends to make him
overrate the efficiency of others.
III These things may cause unpleas-
antness for the president; they will
not be allowed to cause trouble for
the nation. The administration of
Woodrow Wilson will be as far re-
moved from the helplessness of Taft
as from the profitless riot of Roose-
elt.-Chicago Journal.

SPLIT THE PRECINCTS.

board in his Ward.

or several reasons a better sys
tenn should be devised
Under the present rate of Fay the
boards will be made up of elderly
and retired men to whom the long
sessions are dangerous. Aside from
this phase the delay in returns, the
WEAKNESS or incompeteEcy of one
kind and another are to be avoided.
There is no good reason why Iowa
should wait several days to learn the
results of an election.
Split the precincts. Finish the
count early. Take off the strain
from election boards and from the
voters who await the returns: The
machines do not seem to give COM
plete satisfaction and still lack CON
siderably of complete effectiveness.

WILSON WILL KEEP THE DOOR
OPEN.


A most notable observation of
President-elect Wilson is that he
proposes to keep the door of the of.
flee of the chief executive Of the
nation open, when he occupies it.
This will mean to the world that it
to know what transpires in his
Office involving the government of
the people and it's relations with
everyone concerned.
If that pledge is fulfilled it will
mean much of advantage to the COM
mon people. 1t will mean that there
will be no business which the presi-
dent will feel called upon to trans
act in secret conference in which
only one side of the question involv-
ed may be present and participating.
If that pledge is kept there will
be no startling disclosures hereafter
Of secret letters sent to such men
as the late e. H. Hartman, who al
ways have fish of their own to fry,
inviting them to take luncheon at
the White House with the president,
"to talk over the provisions of my
forthcoming message to Congress-
and on later communication sug-
costing that if it be deemed unsafe
at the time suggested, the luncheon
may be held at a later date.
Most of the woec of the Ameri-
can people that arise from misgov-
eminent are due to the transaction
of public business behind closed
doors. 1t was some years ago dis
covered that one of the methods
essential in dealing with the great
corporations was giving the utmost
publicity to their affairs.
Publicity in the affairs of the cor
porations is no greater protection to
the common people than would be
publicity in the affairs of the gov
eminent and the relations of our
public men to special privilege
Nothing has been SO aptly and vivid
ly demonstrated as this in the re-
cent disclosures concerning the re-
lations of certain statesmen, with
such concerns as the Standard Oil
trust, the steel trust and the coterie
of tinanciers in Wall street that has
its hands upon every money-getting
privilege in the country.
1t will be great day for the
common people if President-elect
Wilson insists upon transacting all
of the business of the president IN
office hours and with open doors
Then such an incident as that where
in agents Of the steel trust went to
the White House in the night time
and got permission Of the president
to violate the Sherman law and his
promise that they would not be pros
ecuted if they absorbed their chief
competitor cannot occur.
Many things have been coming to
light of late relating to the acts of
presidents that were committed in
the dark. There has been a sort OF
prevalent idea that one of the func-
tons of the presidents office has
been to turn trick now and then on
the people through secret conference
If governor Wilson as president
establishes different precedent
and insists upon conducting the
business of the chief executive Office
in the open, he will have done much
to guarantee the people better go"-
eminent than they have been get
ting.-St. Joe Observer.
