Nor did he sit with his eye the clock and his

Market Outlets for Farm Products

IL is gratifying to note the success and progress
of the Georgia Fruit Exchange This organization
at its annual meeting last week declared a hand
some dividend and it's general financial showing
was disclosed to be the best in its history
But the feature of the organizations meeting
which bears the greatest public interest and which
portends much for the advancement of agriculture
in this state along diversified lines was its decision
not to confine its marketing activities to peaches
and some cantaloupes, but to make a distinct de-
parture by Offering its services and facilities the
general farmer to assist him in marketing all his
perishable fruit and vegetables.
The value of the service lies in the fact that
it helps the farmer who would quit the one-crop
system and raise more food products to solve the
great problem of finding market for such prod

Editorial Echoes.

There seems to be doubt of the triumph OF
the Liberal Party at the polls in Cuba and the
election of DIR. Alfredo Zayas to the presidency
The nossibility of the election of Conservative
president of the young republic never seriously
thought of until men of all parties, four years
ago Joined in the support of Mario Menocal. He
has served his country faithfully, has built up its
finances and instituted many reforms but he has
been at odds with the legislative majority and has
been unable to accomplish all that he set out to do
His own prediction utterances have fore-shadow-
ed his defeat, and he will take it philosophcslly
He has shown his countrymen that Cuban can be
president for four years without trucking to the
corrupt political elements or involving himself in
partisan squabbles. That he will be called upon
TO take the helm again in the future is altogether
likely.
The successful candidate is a man of good per-
sonaI repute, with ample public experience. Be-
hind him, however, looms the portentous person
ality of Jose Miguel Gomez. He led in person the
parade in honor of the victory of Zayas in Havana
Unless Zayas wills otherwise, he will be DOM
mating influence in the new administration. Cuba
will suffer if Gomez is restored to power. When
he was president he conducted public affairs for
private gain. Much will depend, therefore, on the
ability of Zayas to make himself president in fact
as we'll as in name. The votes of majority of the
Cuban people, not the craft of Gomez, have elected
him. He has the opportunity to carry the re-
forms MenocaI has initiated to administer the ma
tion's affairs with economy and wisdom. If Gomez
is to name his cabinet and to be the power behind
the throne Cuba will have troubles to con-
tend with in the next four years.-New York Times

Teddy's Left-Handed Brightness.

In the Democratic storm that held back long
but finally broke upon the country Thursday night
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt presents a weird and
uuIIifed sort of appearance. The breather-of-nre-
on others has been burnt with his own flames.
After charging through the country and with his
usual modesty claiming to be the only true de-
fender of national honor, and hurting thunder
bolts of abuse at Wilson, he brought up at Oyster
Bay to observe the result of his labors. Someone
told the Colonel prematurely-amid a world just
then running wild with prematureness-that Mr..
Hughes was elected Then the red-blooded fighter
turned loose. You know it's beneath the dignity
of your red-bIooded buster of and nations to
await developments. To be deliberate is to be
yellow. Up and at em is his motto So forth
with he went into action. He said:
81 am douby thankful an American for
the election of Mr.. Hughes. II is a vindcation
of our national honor. 1 wish to express my
profound gratitude American proud of
his country that the American people have re-
pudated the man who coined the phrase about
his country that it is too proud to fight and
whose administration has done so much to re-
lax the fiber of the American conscience and
TO dull the of honorable obligations in
American people.
Because of some charges that have been
made I wish to state now that I will not under
any circumstances make any recommendation
TO Mr.. Hughes with reference to appoint
ments or to his legislative policy"
Here find the Colonel exhibiting an uncanny
OF left-handed rightness. The country's honor
has indeed been vindcated-but not by the Col
oneI, nor have he and his Interpretation of honor
been called into council al ALL In fact he and his
brand of honor have been repudiated outright and
the American people ought 10 be doubIy thankful

old teacher.
You have promised. too, not to give Mr. Hughes
any advice about his appointments and his egisla-
tive measures. You broke the solemn covenant
you made with the Progressive party and you
might break this promise also but really il doesn't
