OFFICIAL ORGAN csaae COUNTY
A 1919 COUNTY FAIR

There were many draw backs that
would have made it hard going for
a county fair the present fall, but
some of the counties are Drawing it
and Moultrie and Colquit county seem
to have greatly surprised themselves
with theirs. Lowndes and Telfair are
among others who put the fairs
through i'll apparent good style.
There never was a reason for hold
ing up our own. No one man seemed
willing to assume responsibility and
push ahead. There money enought al
ready earned and in the treasury to
run a fair. 1t is still there and could
have been put to good use. But it will
keep for the coming year and unless
there is worse condition of affairs
than the war has brought us thus far
Crisp is going have fair in 1919.
All the boys clubs and the girls of
Crisp county have this season been
forced to make 1t "home made"
show They have finished their work
and gone to Valdosta with their eX-
hibits. They wanted a fair and this
was the only solution. Crisp owes 1t
to these boys and girls to provide a
permanent fair in order that their
good work may be shown to the peo-
pie at home. Crisp shows ought to he
made for people of Crisp first and all
the time That will make Crisp a pro-
gressive farming and live stock coun-
ty more than any other agency.
The Dispatch proposes to have this
thing ont in time for fair in 1919 The
leading farmers of the county should
take hold of it. 1t is their affair and
can he made greater and more re-
preventative home demonstration of
progressiveness by them than by any
other group OF men But think of it!
Nearly everybody is farmer. It
would be easy to hold a good fair in

REPUBLICAN JEALouslEs

The New York Tribune may have a
good war news gatherenin France, but
since hostilities have ceased, its
agents in Europe have professed to
find constant complaints against Pre-
sident Wilson and the Tribune now is
quite sure that France our chief exc
cutiye is less popular than overland
fer what?
AZ every turn republican jealousies
crop out. President Wilson'S trip to
France should have nothing TO do
with reducing his popularity lie
was invited to say the least OF it. and
caused TO believe he was really want
ed at the peace conference. Why
should he not attend?
The Truth OF the matter is that jeal-
ousies are so strong here at home.
party lines are SO tensely drawn. that
those who are out Of power are not
willing for the party leader N the
other side 10 enjoy any of the popul-
arity which he might justly claim as
fthe central figure in the victorious
elimination Of the war for the allies

YET WE ARE SAFE.

Another day has passed and the
! Hun has not rekinded the fires of
war. Another will pass and he will
lot rise again to strike, for he has
not the power. Aside from internal
roubles, Germany is not to enter any
conflict for half century There
may come internal strife, but for many
years,-till all the present generation
is gone-there can be no more wars
like that just closed, with Germany in
leading combatant role.
With us it is purely a matter of
inflicting punishment such as will de-
ter militarism and hold the German
nation within bounds The punish
mcnt is very near to full and com
p,ote accomplishment. 1t will ltake
time for Germany to realize the full
consequences of her military defeat
1t will likewise take time for the
victors to realize how fully they are
IT lsters. The burdens of this war are
to be hanging about the necks of the
German citizen and tax payer for more
than generation and Germans yet
unborn will help to pay. These bur-
dens should be heaped upon the
beaten enemy without the shedding
of an official tear They are deserved.
Speaking edtorially of the change
which is promising an easy raOd CT
sympathy for the German. The Mac

Overnight a change has come

fist suddenly comes to full bloom
with the cessation of war and his
voice is heard in the land in full
cry after the spoils of the victory
that they may be dissipated in
our impracticable idealism that
would chase forever the end of the
rainbow while overlooking the
heavy gold quartz everywhere. An
inspired Associated Press story

President. Wilson has been one of the
great men of the greatest conflict OF
all time He has proven his fitness as
great leader and in spite of the re-
publican party back at home, the
world is going to do him honor at the
peace conferences If he lives to get
there
We have seen the republican New
York Tribune make some very hard
strokes at the greatness of Wilson's
war administration. We care little
about what the Tribune thinks of it,
but ii is rather unfair for republican
propaganda of that character to be
paraded day in and day out by an i'm
ported, labeled democrat, and put to
the mill only to turn out grist bear
ing the republican kick and color.
No republican rumpus would be
raised If Wilson went to Europe as
representative and spokesman for re-
publicanism America. He would
be urged constantly and faithfully and
every effort made to have him head
the league Of nations when that world
organization is created AS a democrat
as a great chief executive, why is
Wilson not just as well fitted for the
place just where he stands? If he
should go personally aspiring to that
high honor, is there anything wrong
about it?
When the league of nations is
formed, some leader must take the
place and for this country it would be
Of tremendous consequence that the
the honor be given President Wilson

parties have given loyal support to
tie nations effort to win, and both
parties are entitled to enjoy the fruits |
Of victory. 1t still is the duty of both
parties to support any move that |
might be intended to place Wilson at
Tie head of the league OF nations.
There will be other jealous eyes
cast upon this place of honor when |
the day comes to pick the man and |
Americans must have one aim if they |
PIT their leader at the head. Repub- |
liz ans will have to regret if they do |

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.
National Security League Put Under
Fire To-day.

Washington, d. c., Dec. l9.-Investi-
CATION OF the National Security league
of New York, with respect to its alleged
reflection during the last campaign upon
the loyalty Of members Of Congress, was
begun to-day by a special House com
mittee, headed by Representative John
son of Kentucky. Officers of the league
appeared for examination, bringing with
them many of the leagues papers and
records.
Colonel Charles f. Lydecker, president
of the league, was questioned by Chair
man johnson as to whether the league
had taken partisan or political stand
or interefered with the election of any
officials.
"The aim of the league since its organ
ization and its only aim," Colonel Ly-
decker said "has been to win the war |
can say with all sincerity that there has
never been any depression from this aim.
The league has made every effort to keep
entirely out of politics. It's hands are
clean"
Asked by the chairman if any mem
bers of the league had entered the politi-
cal field, Colonel Iydecker said that as
the membership extended over the en-.
tire country, it would be impossible to
keep in close contact with all, but that
as far as he knew every member had
followed the desire of the league in that
respect.
