The Augusta Bugle's idea of a mod

ion to himself.
There is more than one wrong way
of doing the right thing, observes the
Lebanon Times, but there is no right
way of doing the wrong thing.
The Arkansas City Traveller has al
most decided not to use the word ulti-
matum in connection with anything
the present administration does.
Not few folk are undoubtedly of
the same mind with Alb Adkins one
of the acquaintance of the Atchison
Globe, who says he wouldn't mind be-
ing farmer if he could be a retired
farmer.

The little chap was playing store"
along with other boys, and as thew
romped around the floor they made a
lot of noise. keep that store quiet -
mother said. The little chap was wise.

that rice is still about as cheap as II

News that the railways of the coun-
try have gone into the market for
thousands and thousands of freight
cars in an effort to prepare against
car shortages in the future also sug-
gests that if the railroads had beer

years they would have been in a finan-
cial position to provide for Their

that the present car shortage would
not have been nearly so pronounced

the situation between Mexico and the

A PROPOSED ISSUE.

| These suggestions from the Board
of Temperance of the Methodist
Church are presented merely for what
they may be deemed to be worth:
For the first time in history IL
president has been elected by coali-
ton of the South and the West. If
the Republicans allow that coalition
to be cemented, the G. o. P. may as
we'll reconcile itself to a warm, moist
home with turf for roof am worms
for company. The Republican party
needs an issue which will appeal to
the West and which will offer the pos
of the solid South.
Prohibition is that issue. The
West and the South are as one in the
belief that it is the paramount ques-
ton of the day. If the Republican
party succeeds in forcing the Demo-
cratic party into a position of opposi-
ton to national prohibition 1t would
win the West again, and as the in
creasing preponderance of white pop
ulation in the southern states. makes
the negro vote a matter of less con-
Germ, the South would become very
intolerant of alliance with party
which violated all the prohibition sem
timent of that section.

South, these states did not vote for
Mr.. Wilson as Democrats, but as In

as they are reported, ninety two are
Democrat and sixty-nine Republican.
I'm addition, the state of Titan,
which went Democratic, elected a leg
islature which will enact a prohibition
law as soon as it meets, and probably
a dry governor. In Missouri, Demo-

And since there was no other way to look,
Looked up toward heaven, and there,

A tree that had been down and raised
A barkless spectre. He had halted too,

first ranted against meaning well as
an excuse for everything was trying
to make people see that just having
good intentions wasn't enough, that
you'd got to make good instead of
lying back on your good intentions.

to try at all than to try and blunder.
