TO WINTER HERE.

1t seems to be almost assured that
the big John Robinson circus with it's
forty cars and large number of per-
formers and workers will winter in
Americas. Everything that the agents
of the show requested of the city was
granted. The Seaboard Air Line rail
way was quick to offer their co-opera-
ton when called upon by the mayor of
thecity and the prominent members Of
the Chamber of Commerce.
OF course, the idea of show win
tering here will not appeal to some
folks with special favor-but that is be
expected. The Times-Recorder is glad
to note that the show is almost assur-
ed of making Americas their head
quarters for five months. 1t means
something to the city and her people.
Show folks belong to their special
work, just as any other class of peo-
pie. They have place in this world,
and the great and good masses of the
people respect them and their work.
The show fills national desire and
want
We are glad that Robinson's circus
will winter here.

George Washington, United States

Attracted by the medal which closely

FRANK STANTON
DAY IN GEORGIA

(F'rom Columbus Industrial IndeX)
The schol children of Georgia paid
their respects and homage to Frank L.

airy. And while the occasion was OBJ

We came near referring to Stanton
as the Georgia poet, which he is, but
he is more. He is the poet of the
South, who is loved by people through
out the nation for the creations of his
genius. Mr., Stanton's poems are
Enthusiastically Southern, yet they
are as broad as humanity.
The following from a beautiful trib-
ute to Stanton by DR.. Elan F. Demp-
sey Of Emory University is one of the
many paid the poet on Stanton Day:

Stanton writes of life and love and
happiness, of things that touch man
kind most deeply; and unfailingly in
his beautiful verse he emphasizes the
fact that in this world there is more
of peaceful skies than of storm, more
of sunshine than of shadow
This world that we're alvin in
Is mighty hard to beat:
We find thorn with every rose,
But amt the roses sweet?"

WILSON'S COMMENT.

Straightforward and deserved re-
buke was administered to certain OPP
ponents of the Democratic party and
the present national administration by
President Wilson at Buffalo, when he
attacked those people who made tools
of international complications and
human life to further their own ends
and gain through political parties. In
the pith of his remarks come this
striking rebuff to the iconoclasts:
And want to register my solemn
protest here against the use of our
foreign relationships for political ad-
vantage I cannot, | will not, regard
any man as a patriot who does that
men who in the midst of the most
critical relationships the detail of
which they do not know make play
with the loss of the lives of American
citizens even in order that they may
create domestic political advantage.
That illustrates what | have come here
to preach. Use political parties, but do
not make partisan use of them. | am
not meaning for moment to imply
that there are not men on the other
side who feel exactly as | do. | am
merely pointing moral Just as soon
&c our political parties are used for
partisan objects they become menace
TO the public peace and an obstacle to
the wise selection of policy"
The American people are more in
terested in foreign affairs today than
at any other time in the history of the
republic. The great European war has
brought about this knowledge through |
newspaper discussions of the intricate |
problems and exceptional turns of for
eign affairs.
And with all this. some few malcon-
tents want to cruelty nation; a party |
land even a government, because of
their own ambition to obtain power and
wallow in the pork barrel"

VILLA OUT AGAIN.

The news dispatches of yesterday
brought the intelligence that Villas
bandits are again provoking national
and possibly international attention
through their marauding tactics on d
train proceeding towards Chihuahua
City. There was a tinge of humor in
the relation of the event when writer
said that German was struck on the
head, it being thought that he was an
American.
Whatever may be the guiding force
and the financial bulwark for Villa, he
always manages to let himself be
heard from just at some crucial mo-
ment. Right now it is the national
election in the United States, and he is

SUGGESTION TO WOMEN
who Are "Just Ready To Drop.


When you are Just ready to drop"
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-an be-
cause you have not slept well. you
get up as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, you need help.
You can get it just as Mrs Maxwell
did. She says:
Il keep house for my little family or
three, and became completely run
down. l was weak, nervous and could
not sleep; finally was unable to DIDO
my house-work. A friend asked me to
try Vinol. l did so and improved rap
idly. 1t toned up my system, l re-
gained my strength, am no longer
nervous, sleep well, and do all my
housework." Mrs. j. C. Maxwell,
Montgomery, Ala
There is no secret about Vinol. 1t
owes it's success to beef and cod liver
peptones, iron and Manganese pep
tonates and glycerophosphates, the
Oldest and most famous bodybuilding
and strengthening tonics.
So many letters like the above are
continually coming to our attention,
that we freely offer to return the
money paid for Vinol in every case
where it fails to give satisfaction.

THE SECOND TRIP.

The United States, and more gener-
ally the world, greeted with interest
the announcement that the German I'M
dersea merchantmen Deutschland, had
made her successful second voyage and
dropped her anchor in an American
port. Of course, there was not the
same keen interest as was displayed in
July when the first peered out of the
sea in American waters.
The successful trips of the great
submarine have had a stimulating eff
feet on the world, and although it is
not expected to prove formidable as a
carrier of supplies to the blockaded
Teutons its trips will cause a good
spirit to peryade the markets, and in
cidentally demonstrate to the allies
more particularly to Great Britain, that
she can be lord of the seas, and mighty
in the air, she cannot totally stop traf-
fic under the water.
No good American and lover of clean
acts can fail to applaud the work of
the Deutschland, and especially her
captain, Paul Koenig.
