"sTlckINe IN HIS CRAW."

Valdosta Times:
Senator Harding as innocently be-
trays his political state of mind as
If he wanted to lay it bare to public
gaze. 1t is not the League of Nations
that is sticking in his craw" 1t is
Woodrow Wilson. When the Ohio
senator submits the fact that the
President has had honors enough
to satisfy any man" as reasons why
he should not be supported in his eff
forts to bring the League of Nations
into being, he takes the strength out
OF everything else he says.
The League of Nations question is
not a party question. Senator Hard
ing ought to know it. The great ma
jority of the people do know it, and
it will presently appear, to- the con-
fusion of some gentlemen who think
more about political axes than they
do about what is good for the world,
that the people have been fooled by

or through the opinion of its candi-
date, to fight the league idea in the
1920 presidential campaign. This is
evident from the very fact that form
er President Taft favors the league,
that Col. Roosevelt was for it, and
some other leaders Of that party eth
er favor it or have wisdom enough
to keep quiet about it.
No better chance of election could
be afforded the Democratic candidate
than to be opposed by a Republican
who had gone on record as being
strongly opposed to the league. The
soldier and sailor vote would, so it
looks now, be very strongly in favor
of the league candidate.

PAVED ROADS AND. FARM LIFE

Says the Moultrie Observer:
We imagine that the young men of
the county will want to see the roads
paved. Young men are quick to see
the advantages of such improvements.
They look at the benefits and lose
sight of the minor objections that
some offer.
The young men want roads over
which they can travel rapidly. Young
men like to travel faster than the
older men are accustomed to travel
The young fellows want roads over
which they can haul big loads 1t is
characteristic of youth to want to
carry it all at one load. The young
men have their lives before them
A paved road today means to them.
paved road for life. AS they look
to the future they like to look down
a paved highway rather than down
a sandy or badly washed clay road.
And the fathers will not stand in
the way of the wishes of the young
men. The boys who are coming
home from service in the army have
seen many paved highways where
they have been. They know their
value and appreciate their full
worth.
A man who has seen traffic moving
over paved highways in other sec
tions will naturally want to see them
in his own county. To know the real
worth of paved highway is to favor
building them at any cost.

Police officials who called out
ten thousand reserves to aid in

had ever witnessed a parade in
this city, the nearest approach
being the Hudson-Fulton celebra-

Their activities are as much German

that they will show opposition to the

They are already the enemies Of

The Germans will drown civili-

There are enough of civilized peoples

yet to see the monster created in
Russia destroy the creator?
If that be the case, still we need
not look for any large organized re-

The day the armistice was signed

they are going to back up any sane

that Woodrow Wilson should come

has been to France and has seen what
modern war is and how it makes a pro
sperous country desert, is going to
favor the league of nations. Nobody
need have any doubt on that point.
SO, if the next nationwide election
is upon the league of nations issue,
the Republican party is going to find
lot of its opposition among men who
want war ended for all time because
they know what war is. Unless indi-

not so blinded by partisan spirit as
not to understand that the people

of course ambitious but they seem
to have jumped at the league of ma

publican leaders have been both
patriotically and politically wiser.
Among them is former President
Taft. 1t would not be surprising if
there should be big Republican de-

carry The Republican flag next year.
He is for the league of nations, and
it is almost safe prediction that any

OLD NEW YORK SHOUTED

OLD NEW YORK SHOU TED
Many of the brave men who went
TO war in Europe representing the
National Gueard of the United States
complained as they came back that
the regulars had grabbed all the
honors and promotions and turned
thc guardsmen out to Craze. This
l.CEcd unfair and doubtless caused
wide general sympathy for the
guardsmen who gave their lives as
Americans in the fight. But the
guardsmen felt there was a prefer
ence shown all along for the regulars
when it came to taking off honors
and sacking the promitions.
Tuesday Organs Twenty-Seventh
New York State Guardsmen came
home. They were the men who tore
up the Hindenburg line at their first
assault They were the men who
knew no obstacle when the opportun-
ity was given to strike ahead. 1t was
this body Of men who ran every jump
as if mad when their officers per-
mitted them to go over the top, till
they reached the emmy where hand to
hand encounters developed desperate
conflicts.
A former guardsman of Crisp fell
into this division in New York and
actually lost his shirt and jacket in
the assault on the Hindenburg lines,
but he won his way into the hottest
of it all and came out wounded,-
wounded six times, but still kicking
and smiling. He called it great.
Here is the way the Associated
Press gave an account of their re-
turn home Tuesday:
Maj. Gen. John F, O'Ryan's27th
Division, composed of former
New York state guardsmen, who
helped to break through the "im-
pregnable' Hindenburg line last

decked Fifth avenue today totu-
multuous acclaim of a million or
more spectators 1t was soul
stirring pageant and the like of
which the metropolis has perhaps
never before witnessed.

GREAT MONEY SAVER.

The bigness of our country is nowhere better
illustrated than in the immense saving made pos
sible by the introduction Of the farm tractor
There is, for example, the estimate that II costs
50 600 100000 10 feed the horses and mules of
the UnitedStates This is only $50 a head for the
% 100000 such animals reported by the census
bureau and $50 a head is too low an estimate If
the value of the food for humans which could
be raised on the land now devoted 10 horse feed
is taken into account II is figured that one
fourth Of the total cultivated acreage IS required
TO feed work animals This acreage would feed
40 100000 people, which is in round figures the
present population of France. The relief from
labor of doing the chores in off seasons, when
the horse must be curred and fed, but the tractor
could be stored in the barn, is also factor to
be considered.
Viewed from every angle the use of machinery
on the farm is desirable and should be encour-
aged in every possible way.-Oregonian.
