HORTON.

Mayor James G. Horton and
his friends may we'll feel pleased
over the result of the election
last Tuesday. There was moth
ing negative about the result, for
his opponent was a young man
well known and greatly liked
and admired, and every vote for
Horton was a Horton vote,
not an anti George vote. The
election meant that a majority
of the voters of Macon endorsed
the administrations of Mr.. Hor-
ton for the past eight years.
Mr.. Horton is serving now his
eighth year in the mayoralty,
having been first elected in 1910,
and entering office in January,
1911. When he began Office
Macon had no paved sidewalks or
streets; now we have fifteen
miles of cement walks and six
miles of rock and asphalt streets.
The water and electric power
plant has been under his admins
trations a paying proposition,
the assessed valuation of proper
ty in the city has about doubled,
and the City Of Macon has be-
come noted for progressiveness,
and moreover, distinguished for
law and order.
The progress and improvement
of Macon during the last eight
years, things palpable to all,
must in a large measure be
credited to the municipal admin
istrations of those years.

Judge Carroll

So far Judge Thomas B. Carroll
has no opposition for the office of
Judge of the Circuit Court. It
will be a compliment to the peo-
Pile of this judicial district, as
well as to the Judge himself, if
the fact is universally conceded
that no one stands a chance to
defeat Judge Carroll before the
people of the district.
To make an excellent record,
to stand for right and justice
and to enforce the law is one
thing. To win the cordial ap-
proval and support of the people
by so doing is another.
Judge CAROLS record and his
standing with his people are
things redounding to the honor
of both.
1t is a high and honorable pub.
lie function to p~erform-to ad,
minister the law of the state, t
hold even the scales of justice
between the public and the indi.
vidual, between citizen Nant
citizen. Judge Carroll has exc
cuted the duties of his office mo-
only with learning and ability
but with. a consciousness, al
impartiality and a clear concep.
ton of duty which will entitle
him always to rank with the
very best of the men who have
shed honor and distinction or
the Bench of Mississippi from its
earliest days.

Both Right and Beet

AS dark as the war cloud now
is we are more strongly con-
WINGED than ever, if possible,
that the entry of America into
the great struggle was the wisest
thing this nation could have
done. Viewed from a purely
material standpoint America has
gained immeasurably by refusing
70 remain hands off. AS it is we
have the esteem of every truly
civilized nation on earth. They
are looking to America to bring
ultimate victory out of defeat,
as we confidently believe she is
going to do. And when our
own great country has by the
might of unconquerable right
made liberty secure throughout
the world this nation will be
recognized as ~pre-eminently the
greatest of all the nations. What
this will mean in material pros
perity alone staggers the mag
ination; what it will mean from
a spiritual point of view is
enough to stir our hearts with
the finest emotions. But sup
pose we had remained out Of the
world conflict. We recently
asked an army officer, what would
have happened if America had
not entered the war and he in
SANITY replied: From present
conditions, with Russia out of
the game, should say that the
Allies would undoubtedly have
been defeated. Then America
would have been attacked
through Mexico by a triumphant
and thoroughly organized enemy
with what result | don't like to
contemplate"
And finding ourselves thus
fighting the Central Powers
alone we should have merited,
through our attitude of consist
ent pacifism when the liberty of
the world was at stake. the utter
and absolute contempt of all
mankind. We should thus have
been most likely defeated ma
terially and most certainly should
have lost immeasurably in the
esteem of other peoples.
We are in this war because it
was both right and best for us to
be in it and we are in it to win.
Three cheers for the Red,
White and Blue!"

The Aviation Scandal

Before the war ends we shall
have other exasperating wrangles
like the controversy over avia-
ton. There will always be mis-
takes in military and civil ad-
ministration; there will always be
men who will discover them;
those whom they hold up to
blame will always be bold in
their own defense and, whether
their cause is good or bad, will
seek to divert attention from
themselves and their shortcom-
ings by trying to discredit those
who accuse them.
The American people do not
yet begin to know the facts
about our failure to build air
craft. Perhaps they will never
know. That we have failed is
not to be denied. although we do
not yet known how completely.
But there seems to be no doubt
that we have spent hundreds of
millions of dollars and have little
to show for it. Our net product
of air machines is admittedly
small, and the official statements
regarding the progress that we
have made have been wildly mis-
leading.
Whether it is also true that
there have been bad judgment
and vacillation in planning the
work and in choosing mooels,
corruption and waste in expendi-
ture and a purpose to thwart in
quiry is yet to be discovered.
Aviation is not yet a perfected
science. 1t still needs research
and experiment, and that a GER
tain device has been tried and
abandoned is no proof that it was
unwise to try. Again, it is not
just to accuse officers of having
wasted money merely because
they have not yet attained the
purpose for which they spent it.
Moreover, in such an enterprise
the strictest secrecy is necessary.
Perhaps those who thwarted in
quiry went too far. perhaps not.
Refusing information was justi-
fed or not according to circum-
stances of which the public is
ignorant.
So the whole QUESTION is one on
which it is not only charitable to
suspend judgment, but just. We
ought even to give as little
weight as possible to the appar.
ent belief in official circles that
charges are sufficiently
answered if unworthy motives
be fastened on those who made
them. Such a course suggests
that the accused doubt the
strength Of their cause; but the
real question is not who makes
the charges, but whether they
are true.
