"Too Proud 20 Flght"-Presiden
Wilson has changed his mind again,
He has just assured an Omaha audi
ence that THE European i, nations
should realize that America is as ready
to fight as any nation in the world,
but that its cause must be just" Just
how the European nations could be
expected to understand this when, inn
mediately following the killing of sew
eral hundred Americans, including
women and little children, Mr.. Wilson
proclaimed to the world that the Unit
ed States was too proud to fight" Mr..
Wilson did not explain to his auG;ence.
Neither did he give any indication of
what in his estimation would consti-
tute lust cause" I'VE have seized
and destroyed your property. we have
murdered your men and your children
and we have ravaged your women. Is
there anything that will make a white
livered Gringo fight?" is the pleasing
salutation with which American army
and navy officers are greeted on every
side in Mexico. This gentle reminder
of too proud to fight" is generally fol-
lowed by the Mexicans with splitting
on the uniforms, and some times in the
faces, of American soldiers and sail
themselves because they have been re-
peatedly warned that any American in
tn service who gets into a fight with a
Mexican will be summarily court-mar-
how can the European nations be
blamed for failing to realize that
America is as ready to fight as any
nation in the world" however just the
cause must be?

IT ALL DEPENDS

IF Hughes wins an Oregon town will
get new shingle mill employing fifty
men," says the Olympia Recorder, "ac-
cording to an announcement of the
individual who took an option on tim
bered land. If Wilson wins the option
will be allowed to lapse. That's the
way with thousand and one enter
prises, all waiting to see which way
the wind blows. The moment It is
assured that Charles f. Hughes is
elected, just watch the wheels of in
dustry spin and listen to the hum Of
business"

Democratic Desperation MANY of
the wildly eXtravagant charges which
the Democratic managers-notably
Vance Mccormick are making
against Gov Hughes are doing their
cause more harm than good because
they are interpreted by people gener-
ally as indicating that the Democrats
are growing increasingly desperate.
One such charge is that Gov. Hughes
is the Wall Street candidate. Mr..

There is a Real Difference

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.

GOmper's MisrepresentatiOn-Ther'
is developing serious question amOns
abor leaders as to whether Samuel
Gompers has not betrayed labor ant
the Federation of which he is the head
by advocating the Adamson bill anC
supporting President Wilson because
of it. In November, 1914, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor adopted the
following resolution:
"RESOLVED, That the American
Federation of Labor, as in the past
declares that the regulation of wages
and hours of labor should be under
taken through trades union activity
and not by legislation, except insofar
as the employment of women and chill
dren, health and morals, and the en-
ployes of the National, State and NUM-
cipal governments are affected"
This same resolution was approved
again in November, 1915. How Mr.
Gompers can reconcile his present at
titude with that resolution stands UNI
explained. The result which the Fed
GRAFTON wisely is rapidly approaching.
Railway managers are already assert
ing that by the Hepburn bill Congress
has fixed the rates which the rail
ways may charge; that by the La Fol-
lette bill providing maximum of l6
hours) Congress has fixed hours of la
Dor; that by the Adamson bill Con-
gress has fixed the wages of 20 per
cent. of the railway employees; and
that it remains only for Congress to. *
the compensation of the remailtng
so per cent and then by law to pro-
hibit strikes, and all labor controyer-
sizes on common carriers will be fore
stalled for all time. AS one labor lead
or warns his fellow unionists, "Do yon
want your organization 20 become GIN
ply an insurance association, and have
your hours, wages aud grievances dis
posed of by legislature? That is Just
what the AdamsOn law means.

GLYNN COUNTY is ON
THE DELINQUENT LIST
Had Not Cent Figures to the
Secretary of State.

Although the state road fund, ac-
cruing from the sales of automo-
bile license tags, has been ready for
distribution among the counties of
the state to be used in road construc-
ton, it is still lying idle in the state
treasury because of the tardiness of a
dozen or more counties in sending in
their mileage reports, upon which
the law requires the apportionment
of the fund shall be based.
Secretary of State Phil Cook who
has the administration of the auto
mobile license tax law and the dis
tribution Of the fund, has repeatedly
written to the delinquent counties,
urging them to send in their reports
so as not longer to deprive the more
prompt counties of their share in the
fund, but has not yet been able to
get the necessary figures from the
following counties:
Appling, Barlow, Baldwin Fannin,
Glynn, Laurens, Screven, Taliaferro,
Tiff, Coombs, Turner, Wilcox and
Wilkinson.

Der of minor injuries as the result of
an automobile accident which occur
red on the Jacksonville road Thurs

Neither man is seriously hurt, Mr..

close, when cries went up from diff
ferent parts of the hall: Name your
man" When he did name his man
there was tremendous cheering and
the hall instantly became one huge
kaleidoscope. Pictures of Woodrow
. Wilson burst forth in all parts of the
vast auditorium. One large portrait
of the president on a canvass. which
measured twenty by tfl-1cy feet, was
unrolled and hung from the upper
gallery behind the speakers stand.
State standards were uprooted and
an endless parade of delegates
marched around the aisle encircling
\ the seats OF. the delegates. Soon state
flags made their appearance. Georgia
came forth with big banner which
bore the legend: Georgia Woodrow
Wilson-Dixie's gift to the nation"
After the state flags had been carried
around the hall number of times
they were massed on the speakers
stand while the crowd renewed it's
cheering.
Arizona yielded to Ohio and Judson
Harmon seconded the nomination
Then Arkansas yielded to Virginia
and Governor Stuart also seconded
the nomination of Wilson.
AS 1:ie Virginian finished his
speech a number of delegates clam
ored for the floor, but the chair rec
ognized Senator Hughes of New Jer-
sey, who moved that the rules be
suspended and that Woodrow Wilson
be nominated by acclamation. Be-
fore Chairman James could put the
motion Robert Emmett Burke, dele
gate from Illinois, who was elected
on an independent ticket, opposed the
motion and asked for a roll call. The
delegates, however, were impatient
and Burke's motion was lost. A
mighty shout shook the building
when Chairman James put the mo-
ton to name Mr.. Wilson by acclama-
ton. One solitary voice, that of
Burke's was heard when the chair
asked if there were any negative
votes, and the crowd laughed.
Vote of 1901 to 1.
81 hereby declare Woodrow Wilson
the nominee Of the Democratic party
for president of the United States by
a vote of 1,091 to l." said the chair
man as he brought the gavel down
with a hard whack. There was more
cheering. but it quickly subsidized
when Senator James raised his hands
for silence.
Senator Kern, of Indiana, was rec
ognized and presented the name of
Vice President Marshall and before
the degelates had lealized what had
occurred the rules were again sus-
pended and Mr.. Marshall was ac-
claimed the vice presidential nomi-
nee without the formality of a bal
lot.
The usual resolutions of thanks to
the convention city and to the Off
GERS of the convention were adopted.
Senator James as permanent chair
man OF the convention was selected
