DEFINING THE HYPHEN

FRANCIs HUGO. Secretary of New
i York State, thus aptly defines the
much-abused hyphen as applied
to AM erican citizenship:
If the hyphen means ancestry,
I'm for it, If It means allegiance,
I'm against 1t.
There we have it in a nutshell. No
body objects to a man being proud of
his German, or his Irish, or his Scotch
ancestry. even to the point of boasting
about it, But every good citizen does
object to the German, or the Irish, or
the Scotch, or any other nationality
being placed before the word Ameri-
can in a sense that indicates divided
allegiance.

they have been merely overshadowed
temporarily by a condition of abnor-
NAL demand, caused by the war.

LIGHT AND DARKNESS

TIE that saith he is in the light, and

ness even until now.
He that loveth his brother abideth
in the light, and there is none occasion

But he that hateth his brother is
in darkness, and knoweth not whittier
he goeth. because that darkness hath
blinded his eyes.-John 2:9-11.

Doing the right thing at the
right time - is always nine
tenths of the battle
Doing it in the right place is
equally important.
Concentration means putting on
the pressure where 1t counts for
the most.
The two things that dlstin-

No other medium offers such

ANOTHER FRIEND GONE

TIME Washington Times, of Pro-
gressive proclivities and often
manifesting signs of friendli-
ness to President Wilson, is very
much disgusted by the delayed pub
lication of the Presidents letter writ
ten three years ago to A. Mitchell
Palmer, indicating Mr.. Wilson'S
willingness to be a candidate for a
second term. The Times thinks the
American people would not greatly
resent the violation of the single
term pledge, but will resent his keep
ing his intentions secret for three
years after writing them to Mr.. Pal
mer. But what else could the Times
expect from a man who has been the
embodiment of secrecy and the su-
preme master hand at official va
ciliation and political summersaults?

Production Problem.

II is obvious that one of the main
reason for the rising cost of food
products is the fact that our agri.
cultural production has not kept pace
with the Increase in population. This
in turn, is due to the fact that a
larger and larger proportion OF our
people are becoming consumers,
white constantly smaller proper
ton are becoming producers.
Joseph Chapman. Jr. chairman of
the committee of northwestern state
agricultural colleges. said not long
ago before the Senate committee on
agriculture that one-third OF the pop
ulation of Minnesota lives in three
cities: that the boys and girls flock
from the farms to the cities; that in
the cheap and unhealthy lodging
houses OF Chicago there were found
20 900 young men under % from the
farms who wee lcsking out fol jobs
in that city; that the conclusion was
reached that the problem of this
rural drift to the urban centres was
an educational one: that in Minneso-
ia il was learned that there were
4s5,000 children in the schools al
an expense OF $4,000 900 to the
state. yet but 1882 OF these pupils
we're In agricultural schools and col
leges. or that the state was educating
99.6 per cent. OF them to be consum
ers and but four tenths Of per cent
| to Be producers; chat this condition
in greater or less degree, exists il
every state. To remedy this problem

making it clear that we do not gel
anywhere as much production from
our farms as We should. For a thirty
year period, Germany increased hei
production Of wheat IS per cent, the
United States only IL per cent; Ger
many increased her production OF
barley 60 per cent, the United States
only per cent; Germany increased
her production Of oats IS per cent,
the United States only per cent;
Germany increased her production OF
potatoes so per cent, the United
States only per cent.
In 1913, Germany, with an area
equal to Minnesota, Iowa and Mis-
souri,. produced more barley, almost
II times as much rye, three-f ouths
as much oats, and more than six
times as many potatoes, as We do in
the whole United States.
In 1913 Germany had 44.2:3.O60
acres sowed to wheat, barley. rye,
oats and potatoes and harvested
therefrom 3,49S, 775, 600 bushels, while
from 1902 100000 acres sowed to the
same crops in the United States. our
farmer harvested only 2,346 $4,000
bushels. From considerably less
than one-half of our. area, German
farmers harvested more than LOCO
000,0 more bushels.

he"ds to meet the problem of the
high cost of living is more aud more

Is the solution that the Federal gov.

apply, and, because it has produced

we can reasonably expect similar

ny as belligerent the fact remains
that there are many things that we
could learn from Germany with
tremendous profit to this nation.

Now For Business.

The Christmas holidays of 1916
are about over says the Valdosta
times. and It is time for the business
world to get itself together and get
down 20 business again. In a few
lines the markets will not open until
early in January, but there will be a
steady revival in business despite
that fact. The cotton market has
been closed practically for the past
two or three weeks. and it will re-
main closed for week or two longer,
but the cotton mills will begin to
turn their wheels and tie demand
for cotton will take on new life be-
tween now and the 10th Of January,
With this revival in trade, there
ought to be a revival in prices.
With the New Year the farmers
will begin to get down to business,
clearing up their lands and making
ready to plant their crops. There
are indications that the crops will be
fixed along different lines during the
coming year, and that South Georgia
will have the largest acreage of pro
vision crops to be put on the market
next fall than has ever been known,
The cold storage people will prepare
to handle larger supplies than ever
before next year
The real estate agents are enthusi-
astic over the outlook for the coming
year. One prominent agent stated
that he had more inquiries for land
and buildings now than he has eve
had before. The local eral estate
men say that reptals are picking up
daily, and that houses which hay
| been vacant for year or more are
now occupied. One real estate deal
or stated yesterday that ten days age
he had eight or ten houses vacant,
and that every one of them has beer
occupied. and the outlook is that
there will be no more vacancies fol
a long time. Nearly all of the negro

Presidential Pensions.

1t has been well said that "the
accepted tendency OF modern charity
is against padperization. We try
to put men ana families on their
economie feet. The fewer dependents
there are in the world, the setter for
the wofid."
That principle should be applied to
the perennial proposal to pauperize
our ex-Presidents by pensioning
them. At almost every session Of the
Congress is introduced a measure
which would bestow some gratuity
upon the living ex-presidents. Rep
resentative J. Hampton Moor, OF
Pennsylvania, has lately offered a
bill which proposes to give each En-
President salary OF $4,000 a year
as long as he lives and permit him to
sit in the House o. Representatives
without the privilege OF voting.
The proposal Is, as the Cleveland
Plain Dealer points out "un-Ameri.
can, I'M Democratic, and It's discus
sion is waste of time" No ex-
President worthy OF respect would
accept such gratituity. No ex-
President is entitled to a pension.
Any man who has held the office has
gained SO much In prestige that his
earning power is far greater than It
was before he went to the White
House. He. can save the greater
part Of the 100000 he receives for
term Of office, since most Of his ex-
penses are paid out Of the public
treasury.
Several years ago Andrew Carne-
gle offered to provide a fund for lib-
orally pensionins the ex.Presidents,
but public opinion Immediately
knocked his prospective philanthropy
in the head, ana IL hasn't been heard
of since.
Cleveland needed no pension; as
an ex-President he not only earned
his living by writing and lecturing,
but was q conspicuously useful citi
zen. Taft is amply able to take care
of himself with the returns he re-
ceNes for his services, as Yale
lecturer and az writer. Roosevelt
10 millionaire You can bet your
boots that Woodrow Wilson's Scotch
thrift. will have put by at least
third Of million by the time he
goes out of office.
When they have elected him to the
highest office in the republic. the
people of the United States have
given a man all that he deserves. ii
ex- Presidents we're pensioned, they
might engage in a lot of pernicious
activity. Think of Roosevelt having
nothing else to do but criticize the
administration and lambast every
body and everything!

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The re. publican eleventhe hour rally is the surprise of the campaign here and the leaders are working overtime in their endeavor to overcome the Wilsonward drag. It is realized at last that Hughes to win must carry the Empire state.
 An extraordinary feature of the situation is the fact that the Wilson triumph failed to affect the big ten to six odds now running in favor of Hughes and the New York Herald, supporting Governor Hughes, says that Wilson money is getting as scarce as hens teeth.
 Democrats claim that they will sweep the city of New York by eighty thousand plurality and they profess confidence that this dead weight can never be overcome by Hughes.
