Satan's Practical Joke.
(New York Sum-

The progressive party was founded as protest against the steam roller. During the last presidential campaign Bull Moose orators could not find words sufficiently strong to express fully their detestation of political bosses. Party machines were attrib- uted to the creative ingenuity of Satan and their eternal abolition was an end to which the progressives pledged themselves.

critics observes that 'for MT. Wilson as a prophet we have nothing but ad- miration.''
 Of course that is meant "sarcas- tical," but it is very right, neverthe- less. MT. Wilson knows that he will not have more than four years more of the presidency. There will be no "third cup of coffee'' business to apologize for in his case. What Wash ington would not take and Grant could not get, Wilson will not try to obtain

The insistence of the Allies that Prussian militarism must be crushed before peace can be made rather puts the cart before the horse. Prussian militarism cannot be crushed from the outside; it's destruction must come from within. When peace comes the German people will probably crush it in the interests of Germany; there are indications of that already. Prus- sian militarism has destroyed Ger many and in doing so will have de- strOyed itself.-Watertown Times.

Hudson Maxim states what is clear to every observer when he says the British have consistently underesti- mated the strength of the enemy's fleet while overrating their own, and no one will be surprised if it ap- pears that he is right in his belief that the German ships carried heavier guns than any on the English ves- sels. The most striking example to date of the value of preparedness and the ever-present danger in overconfi- dence was furnished in the North Sea fght.-Rochester Post Express.

INTERESTING SPORT LETTER
GATHERED FROM ALL SPHERES

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-The sale of
the Boston American League Club,
within a month after the team had
won the Worlds Championship, is
thought by many of the followers of
baseball politics to mark the first of
a number Of changes and readjust-
ments in major league circles. Former
President J. ]. Lannin made no secret
of the fact that the Red Sox were for
sale and If rumors and inner circle
gossip can be accepted at face value,
seeyral other club owners are just as
willing to dispose of their holdings
but lack the frankness of Lannin.
The president of the Boston Amer

ed 100000. Under the circumstances
the sale of the Red Sox, while the
glamor of the Worlds Series victory
was still fresh, at S675.000 appears in
the light of a compromise. Judging
from past results and attendance fig
ures at Boston the new owners made
an excellent deal when the value Of
the club, franchise and park property
is taken into consideration.
The Boston Club entered the Amer
lean League in 1901 and since that
season has won the junior league
pennant five times and the Worlds
Championship three times. In his
sixteen years the Red Sox have in
ished fourth or better every season

period works out as 3 Ia Further

as a good baseball town. supporting

ON THE LEVEL
By C. w.

AS long as the people and the papers
of the country are singing the praises
OF the Associated Press, it might be
well to say that this great organiza-
ton is composed of memberships
through newspapers of all creeds, re-
ligions, languages, politics and col
ors. 1t is non-political and must
know whereof it speaks. 1t is fore
most in the United States and it's
words are facts, as the people know.
TIT has heart, a soul and a great
mind-just human, but so much so
that it's failures are very dim lights
in the constellation of its glory.
The Times-Recorder is a small unit
in that great fabric, and to show that
in the stress of all the election excite
ment, the A. p was not unmindful of
the men who were giving their hard
services for the information of the
country, General Manager Melville E.
Stone sent this message to every
member and employee of the service:
To the Associated Press men:
1t is just that acknowledgement be
made of the splendid work of the
Associated Press working corps in
the present emergency. A situation
unexampled in any former presiden-
tial contest has been presented. 1t is
a situation full of menace to the peace
Of the country. The fact that the
work of collecting and compiling the
votes has been carried on exclusively
by our non-partisan organization and
that the public has not been dependent
upon the excited claims of the party
managers, has been of incalculable
value. The service we are rendering
is very trying, but worth all it costs.
To the men who have kept unbrok-
en- vigil, night and day, since the polls
closed and who are still patiently but
with unfagging energy keeping watch
in the interest of no party or candi-
date, but of the truth alone, a great
opportunity for public service faith
fully met.

posed almost entirely of Sumter
county products, is enough to gain the

securing a full-fedged right to parti-
cipate in this grand celebration.

him across just before midnight on
Thursday The News deserves all
credit for their claims of splendid ser
vice for Brunswick during the cleo
ton, but we are of the opinion that
they took a decided long chance on
the morning after the election in tell
ing the people that Wilson had won.

time. But, it's all right, Brother
Leavey, we've won in the long run.

but it looked like Wilson. Then a
little after II o'clock Thursday night,
the reliable A. p flashed California;
