That Bauer Letter

represented Gala way County in the
Missouri Legislature, and is the
recognized dry" leader ia this State
says the sentiment of Xenophon P.
Whitley and Joseph W. Folk on the
liquor question are practically the
same
Hay is nov practicing law in St.
Louis. 10 answering the letter Of
Ignatius Bauer, cretary of the Re-
tail Liquor Dealers Association in
which he said the saloonkeeDers
unitedly would oppose the candi.
dacy of Folk, Hay writes as follows:
You ask me what effect that
letter will have uDon the dry voters,
Of course. / cannot say what effect
1t will have, but do say most euI-
phatically that il should have no
effect whatsoever should dislike
TO think that single thinking man
would allow his attitude toward
either candidate to be determined
by the malevolent attacks upon the
other, or by the publicity given those
attacks.
Speaking for myself, l say most
unhesitatinely that thatletter would
not affect me for moment am
not accustomed to having my
attitude toward men or principles
determined by the political grudges
of somebody else.
1t is true | am for Whitley, al
though | have actively supported
Gov Folk in his previous campaigns.
AS far as the liquor question is con-
cerned, it is my understanding that
the attitude of the two candidates
is practically the same.
Il said at the time Senator Will
fey was appointed, and say now,
that inasmuch as he is a capable
man, as clean and high minded as
any man | ever met. thoroughly
loyal to the Government AM to the
President. he should be permitted
to fill out the unexpired term. By
November, he will be 10 thorough
touch with vital legislative matters,
and | think it would be a mistake
to remove him at this time. If
Gov. Folk had been appointed. l
would have heartily supported him
for the full enexpired term.
Whatever the result, | sincerely
hope that the campaigns will be
conducted without bitterness and
without allowing gentlemeu who
have axes to grind or old scores to
even up, to determine the support
either candidate shall receive. l
am chiefly concerned, and | think
the majority of the people are chief
ly concerned, in securing the high
est possible efficiency in Government
service during these trying times.
1T is because | believe, now that
Mr.. Wiley is there, already in the
confidence of the adminisiration.sas
l am informed, and doing faithful
work, that it is to the interest of the
State and country to keep him
there, that | am for him in preference
to man whom | have always
supported heretofore, and very much
admire.
The fact is these considerations
led me to refuse TO consider for a
moment making the race myself
although numerous friends in vari-
GUS parts of the State tried 10 pre-
vail upon me to run"

former mayor of the city, is anXiously
awaiting news of his son. CORTLAND S,

States transport Tuscania when that
vessel was sunk by a German subma-

Wednesday morning.
Mr. VIM was a MEMBER OF Company

France. He was a graduate of the
Boys High School of Atlanta, took the
forestry course at the University OF
Georgia, later took law at Emory Uni

appointed assistant forester of the Da-
kota National Forest in South Dakota,

not permitted to use their better
Judgement,-to operate as their train
ing dictates.
Sunday morning a sober minded
business man who lives in Cordele
commented upon statement he heard
member OF train crew make in
bCastful manner to the effect that the
roads had not been able to do so well
with their double headers. This man
was a member of the second crew
that had been overtaken with that
double header out of Savannah to
Americas because they had worked
their eight hours The man was APP
parently glad the double header had
net made better time, and was con
demning the effort to move more
freight by using two engines and a
longer train with the one crew. He
was a trainman not at all in sympa-
thy with the effort TO get better re-
suits at less cost, else he would not
have maintained the attitude which
he held towards the double header
freights.
Heads of tranmen's organizations
charge the road officials with an eff
fort to queer government operation.
Trainmen themselves are being ser
iously arraigned on all sides for their
present demands in wage increase
and fer their apparent lack of loyalty
to their lines and for their taking adj
vantage of the scarcity of labor to do
their worst in the matter OF hurry
ing business. And now who is really
al fault? The present movement OF
freight would seem to indicate that
both read officials and employees have
reached a stage of don't care 1t is
certain that officials and employees
do but little cooperating.

CATERS IN THIS HILL

Ordinary w. p. Fleming has made
the suggestion that there might be
a chance for this community 70 Sc
cure the $4,000 potato curing plant
which the United States department
of agriculture is ito be given some
where in south Georgia this year.
And why not? # we couldn't pull
thing like that, we might as well
admit that pulling days are over here.
-Cerdele and adjoining farming ipz
terests have better excuse for ask
ing for this plant than they ever had
for a similar enterprise 1t would
mean thousands for the people who
try each year to make sweet potatoes
and lose them. There never was
better farming section, lone more
adap; ed to the potato than ours
and if put to the test, we might be able
to show that we grow more sweet
potatoes than any other farming COM
munity
If we would have the government
come here with a great curing estab-
lishment. we ought to go for ii be-
fore it is too late, We recently found
that this community was being con
sidered for an aviation camp and only
started for it after Griffin had laid
hands on it. 1t might be the case
with the potato curing plant 1t is
well enough that something be done
quickly.
Our farmers want this thing. If
the government comes with it. there
will be more than hot air in the en-
terprise. Why not do a little early
pulling and put the fortunes that are
in sweet potatoes within reach OF
those who have the soil and the en-
ergies waiting?
If the potato curing plant is to be
in Georgia it will certain
Nv come to south Georgia, and if it
comes this way. no farming center
is better suited Would it not be well
to tell the department about it right
away?

DID THE SENATORS HELP?

In the very untlmely and unwise po-
litical wrangling in Washington over
/ war cabinet and munitions director
it was limited in some of the questions
answered by Secretary Baker that the
British were assisting in transporting
American troops to the battle front in
Europe Then followed the destruc-
tive work of the submarine which came
so near taking the lives of a great num-
/ Der Of our own men. 1t occurred on
the coasts which have heretofore not
been frequented by the undersea
craft
Did you follow the searching ques-
tions that were put by Senator Hitch
cock when Secretary Baker was up
TO rcrCss examination? True, it was
one American asking another about
accomplishments that vitality concen
the American public, but why such
questioning? The whole thing at the
time seemed as if Senator Hitchcock
was playing the role of Deceive in the
interest of Germany, trying third de-
IN ict inf
an American official which ought new
er to have passed from one mans lip
to another where a German spy could
Overhear and use.
1t was limited at the investigation
where Secretary Baker was cross eX-
amined that the British were helping.
Soon a submarine showed up where
lit has never been known to have opera
ted before midtown went one of the
largest transports in the service and
very large load of our troops had
the closest call of their lives.
Hitchcock and his friends ought to
be satisfied Would they believe it
if they were to be brought face to
face with the fact that they have fur
nished the enemy valuable informa-
ton?
If it were left to us, we would stop
that political side show in Washing
ton before we Unattached our shoes for
another nights rest This business Of
informing the president and the head
of the war department on matters
it may or may not be worth while for
them to know, just to crafty politl-
! cal grudge and even UP on Old scores
is something that ought not to be per
mitted to hinder our progress in the
war against Germany.
Let them continue the cross exam
nation. 1t may give the Hun some
more information of value.

SO pronounced was the effect of this
attitude on the part of the public that
iuysome Noi die communities, that the
rivilege Of exemption or discharge
Was, generally waived by the regis
Fants. e
1t is also gratifying to find that
pronounced majority OF the Boards re-
ported that but few unfounded claims
for exemption or discharge were filed,
and that-eXaggeration in the statement
Of claims was not serious.
tThe filing of an honest claim for eX-
eunpton or. discharge does not mean
of recourse, that the claimant is unwil-
ling to serve his country, In depend
hey cases, it means, ordinarily, that
ne claimant feels it to be his duty
&stay al home and support his family
i,itil the supply of men without de
oendents is exhausted. In necessary

mant or his employer feels that he is
