BLESSED ARE THEY THAT KNIT.

Some people have been taking the
paragraph column of The Times-Re-
, corder entirely too seriously.
Those paragraphs represent an eff
fort to keep in a good humor and to
induce other folks to same state Of
mind. They are necessarily in an ex-
aggerated STYLE more satirical than
otherwise-jests, feeble perhaps, but
jests just the same, at the fads and
: foibles and men and women and in,
cfdents and affairs of the present day:
What has been said along the line
of poking fun at knitting and knitting
bags was never more than jocularly
intended. There was never any pur-
pose to deliberately ridicule this latest
work In which the ladies are engaged,
and to which they are devoting so
much time.
The Times-Recorder comedies the
fact that even if knitting is now mat
ter of habit and fashion, great good
is being done by it, and it is become
a worthy cause which it were useless,
even senseless and ungracious to
deny. :.
There is simply no telling the vast
! amount of physical discomfort that
has been prevented and alleviated by
the products of the ladies knitting
needles. Thousands and thousands Of
knitted garments, some from the busy
hands of debutantes, some from the
nimble fingers of women who really
consecrated themselves to the task,
have been sent to the soldiers in both
the home and foreign camps. Many
a man has been warmed by a garment
without which he would have expert
enced all the pangs of penetrating
cold.
As an instance of the genuinely
splendid achievements in the knitting
line it is only necessary to point to
the accomplishments of the. ladies
needing under the auspices of the
Red Cross chapter of Americas. Since
last August they have actually sent
away 25O sweaters, 145 muffIers. 1O4
wristlets, 333 socks. and Is helmets
nearly nine hundred articles This is
a magnificent showing, of which the
ladies should be proud and for which
! the Americas Red Cross deserves to
be complimented.
The Times-Recorder, as much as
anybody, recognizes the nobility of
the work done by the knitting classes,
and has always felt keen sense of
appreciation of the tremendous
earnestness that characterizes the
ladies in this their newest incidental
pursuit Far be it from us to make
fun" Of them or of their accomplish
ments; on the contrary, we wish
there were more ladies of the really
idle class engaged in making knitted
garments for the boys in the trenches.
Still, We all must have our little
nonsense now and then, and the para
graph column is where The Times
Recorder engages in its share of it.

further discussion as to the most
logical man to oppose-and defeat
Senator Hardwick in the primary this
coming summer.
After what President Wilson has
written concerning Hon. w. j. Harris,
in reply to an inquiry from the editor
of The Times-Recorder all argument
should cease, and the loyal citizens of
Georgia should firmly resolve to unite
on Mr. Harris as the one candidate
most fitted to make the race.
There are few men really in the in
innate confidence of President Wilson,
both officially and personally. We
daresay that those with whom he has
enjoyed delightful condolences" which
is the tribute he pays to Mr.. Harris,
Inlay NC COuHleu oh OuS MANU- III
thermore, the president places it be-
yond dispute that no one has accorded
himself and his administration more
loyal and answering support than
Mr. Harris.
The Presidents letter is really an
admirable statement without refer
ence at all to Mr.. HardWick, or to the
pending senatorial race, without sug-
gestion to the people of Georgia as,
to what they should do, he makes it
plain, nevertheless, that Mr.. Harris is
the man of his choice for the senate,
and that he would like to see the
present federal trade commission
chairman elected to the office.
Taken in connection with The
Times-Recorder' letter, to which it is
a prompt and satisfactory and conclus-
i've reply, the Presidents letter is
Enthusiastically an endorsement of Mr..
Harris 1t cannot be construed in any
other sense. Yet, at the same time,
he makes this endorsement which can
not give any offense or suggest that
he is trying to NEEDLE in the political
affairs of one of the states.
The Times-Recorder was confident
all along that Mr.. Harris would re-
ceive the unqualified APPRECIATION of
the national administration and of the
President himself, so far as was con-
sistent and compatible. That having
been pronounced, and in further view
Of the overwhelming endorsement given
Mr. Harris by the newspapers of the !
state, as proven by The Times-Re
corder's recent poll, it seems to us
that Mr. Harris is clearly identified |
now as the one man who should be
matched against Senator Hardwick.
That Mr.. Harris is going to make
the race, there is absolutely no ques
tion-and The Times Recorder knows
whereof it speaks Indeed, after the
endorsement from both the newspa.
pers and the national administration,
and in consideration of the thousands
o. letters from citizens asking him to
run, Mr. Harris would not be per-
forming his duty to his state and to
himself to remain out of the race.
The Times-Recorder regards the
question of opposition to Mr.. Hard
wick has been definitely settled and
established, and we are sure we voice
the sentiments of the majority of the
people in saying that, in the light of
these new developments, it would be
unwise and disloyal for any other can
didate to enter the race and thereby
complicate it so as to give Senator
Hardwick an advantage.
