What has become of the cry that
American diplomacy is the laughing
stock of the world?
Just q few months ago we were
told In the columns of scores OF
papers that the grape juice methods
of he present administration we're
SO absurd that this country was a
joke.
Several nations of the old world
we're pointed out, particularly Ger
many, as examples OF what a real
world power should be. The for
eign policy of President Wilson was
called weak, childish, and he was
accused of trucking" whatever
that may be.
We were told in sonorous SEN
fences that the nation needed a
strong hand to deal with the Mexi-
can situation. Tn T. licy of
watchful waiting was the of
much amusement. Where are our
critical friends who longed for a
strong policy built on an European
model?
They are too Lusy just at present
denounciDg militarism which has
plunged a world into war and the
pernicious alliances which convert
ed a bonfire into a giant confagra-
tion to find time to continue their
condemnation of the grape juice
diplomacy which has kept this coun-
try at peace amid wars flame.
No more. are we told of the
beauties and civilizing influence of
the sword and the ennobling effects
Of rapid fire guns. Under the
policy of watchful waiting a civil
ICED government is being erected
in Mexico.
The credit for this result belongs
to President Wilson. At one time
after the departure of Huerta,
when Carranza refused to make
terms with his successor, practically
all the members of the presidents
cabinet strongly favored forcible
Intervention. But the president
stood firm.
Europe's strong foreign policies
and u taDgle of alliances have bred
a war which stands alone in his
tory in magnitude and in the num-
Der of men involved.
Watchful waiting bids fair to
bring peace 10 a troubled nation
and lay the foundations for a gov
eminent which will stand as q
monument to the wisdom and pat
fence of the mar who once was

Saturday evening of Last week by
whipping the one hundred and

taking place near the North

cording to Sem s version Of the

grabbed him, struck him, then
threw him to the ground, face
down, and sat on his back, de-
livering several blows on the
back of Sem s head and the
officer was finally prevailed up

the assault. Sem claims he never
struck blow at the officer, nor
did he have am opportunity to

To THE VOTERS OF ELBERT COUNTY:
In becoming candidate for re- election
to the office OF County Superintendent
of Schools, 1 was actnated by several
motives; First, my liking for the work.
Second, my wish to standardize the
rural schools according to the plans
made by the State Department OF Pub
lie Instruction. Third, my entire life
has been spent in school work, and this
has given an experience which can be
made useful to the schools of this county.
Fourth, the fact that have not served
the entire term for which the voters
elected me. My term began August /,
1918, instead of January, 1913 Nor did
|, as is often said, receive any pay from
the county for the seven months which
elapsed before the contest was settled.
For any or all Of these reasons, your
support in the November election will be
gratefully received and heartily appre-
ciated. Respectfully yours,
