DIAGNOSING THE RESULT

Politics is replete with paradoxes.
Therefore, it is not surprising to learn
that Republican votes elected Judge
Hylan, the Democratic-Tamma can
didate, mayor of New York.
Mayor Mitchell sought reelection
first with the Republican endorse
ment, but in the recount it was
shown that Bennett received more
votes, and the latter thereby became
a candidate. Had Bennett been elm
mated, thus giving Mitchell both the
Republican and Fusion nominations.
it is possible that the mayor could
have won. Yet SO overwhelmingly
did the rank of the Republican party
go for Hylan that it is hard to be-
lieve that any combination of forces
could have changed the result.
In keen diagnosis of the situation.
the New York World says:
Twice have the Republicans Of
New York come to the rescue OF
Murphy and given him victory
when he needed 1t sorely. Tens of
thousands of them voted for Nc
Clellan In 1905 to save the city
from Hearst This year Murphy
goes into partnership with
Hearst, and tens OF thousands Of
Republicans go into partnership
with Murphy to overthrow Fus-
ion and rescue New York from the
cleanest and best government that
it has had since consolidation.
While the so-called Hearst vote,
the wild-eyed Bolshevik elements
of New York, rushed to Hillquist,
ddivision after division of Repub-
lican voters marched into the
Tammany trenches behind Muir
ply.
There ought to be no misunder-
standing about this election. Tam
many won because two-thirds of
the Republican voters in New
York City preferred Tammany to
Fusion. They wanted Mitchell
baeten and they voted against
him Some of them could not quite
swallow Hylan, but they made
their votes count against Mitchell.
Mitchell is not politically a man Of
the people, fact which undoubtedly
hurt him, especially with the Social
ist class He lives on Riverside
Drive, and his intimate friends are mil
iicnaires. He could not obtain the
Democratic organizations support. II;
lest the Republicans and the Fusion
party represented party leaders, most
ly the discredited party leaders, too
and did not typify the people. Ma
tional issues did not control the New
York election 1t was a straight-cu
case of old-fashioned politics, and a
that game Tammany, the best player
naturally won.

NUMBERS POISON OWN
SYSTEMS.
uto-Intoxicatiou Is Foundation OF
Most Diseases And Ill Health, Says
Noted Authority.

Advanced medical authorities
assert that auto-intoxicatiou Is the
foundation of most of the ills and
diseases to which the human flesh is
heir. This condition says l., T. Coo
per who has made an exhaustive
study of the subject is nothing more
nor less than the slow self poisoning
of the vital organs produced by the
excessive mental and physical
strain we are forced to eudnre
which renders the organs lame and
inactive and permits toxins actual
poisons to be generated within ones
own body.
Sometimes the trouble starts In the
liver and kidneys and sometimes it
starts in the stomach or elsewhere,
put in any case the blame lies with
the faulty method Of living which
has become so prevalent of recent
y ears and it is the more important
organs that suffer the final damage
AS when they falter or fail In their
duties the body fills up with poisons
and the victim readily yields to their
baneful influences. Bright's disease
stomach and intestinal troubles ca
tarrhal affections of the mucous
membranes in fact, may be called
Naturalization or self-poisoning.
A tired dragging feeling of the body
continued Mr.. Cooper or sluggish
mind and dull memory intense ner-
vousuess, headaches, stomach and
bowel troubles,poor circulation i'm
perfect digestion constipation and
dependency are common symptoms
of auto-intoxication and nine out
of every ten people in the average
city like Atlanta are likely to be 80
affected.
Tanlac the powerful reconstructive
tonic was designed especially to over
come these troubles and it is Mr..
Coopers theory that the Tanlac treat
ment is the direct remedy therefor.
There is not a single portion of the
body that is not benefited by the
healthful work of this celebrated
preparation which begins its action
by stimulating the digestive and as
similative organs thereby enriching
the blood and invigorating the entire
system. Next it enables the stom-
ach to throughly digest the food,
thereby permitting the assimilable
products to be converted into blood,
bone and muscle, 1t overcomes that
great exciting cause of disease weak
ness. It renders the body vigorous
and elastic, keeps the mind clear and
energetic and throws off the sympt-
oms of nervousness and indigestion
1t builds up the constitution weak
ened by disease and mental and ply
sical overwork, quickens convale-
scence and is an unfailing source
OF comfort to those suffering from
these troubles.

of live stock, which is new
thing in Mississippi has proven
so uniformly successful where
ever it has been :ried that the
wonder Of it is that it has not
been in operation for many
years.
How successful is the plan was
demonstrated here recently when
some seventeen farmers all a.
greed upon certain time when
they would bring a certain num-
Z ber of hogs here and submit
them to classification and sale
in bulk. The result was highl y
gratifying to every part icipant.
Hogs of all ages aad sizes hogs
we'll feed and under. fed: hogs
which indicated careful atten-
tion by their appearance: hogs
which showed a woeful lack OF
attention, fine hogs and poor
\ hogs all went into the shipment
y. all were sold in bulk to one buy
er, the good hogs helping the
sale of the poor hogs, so that the
poorest brought six and half
cents pound while the best
topped the market at eight and
a half,
This incident is but the repli-
cation of incidents which are
daily occurring throughout Miss

Producers of livestock are
being taught by this plan of get

alton pays in the production and
sale of cattle and hogs
just as it has paid other bushes
ses to cooperate.
One of the peculiar character.
istics of human nature has been
the tendency to pull against
each other instead of with each
other manifested by those en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits.
IA Every organization of the farm
EIers in the history of the country
sfhas been a failure in the sense
4 that its organization fell to pieces.
z Yet not one of them failed while
they lasted to prove Of incalcu-
), liable benefit to the farmer.
Half century ago the old
Grange flourished for a while
but it has passed into history.
Then came the Farme RS Alliance
which for awhile maintained a
powerful organization and ex-
erted a potent influence upon
the politics Of the country. La
ter still was the Farmers Union
still in existence but bearing un-
/ mistakable signs of dis integra.
tion and decay.
All of these agricultu raj organ
7 izations were predicated upon
, the idea of co-operation which
is only another name f or union.
Sundry causes ,contri buted to
their organic failures, but insofar
as they taught the lesson of co
operation every one of them was
a pronounced success.
Uniting groups OF farmers in
the sale Of their products is bas-
ed upon the same idea, but with
out the countrywide or statewide
organization feature. This in
deed is not necessary. There is
no necessity for constitution
and bylaws for officers, commit
tees payment of dues or anyone
Of the appurtenaces Of the usual
organization. All that is need
ful is for enough farmers to
pool their products at a mar ket
where buyers may inspect them
and buy them in bulk.
