The last Grand Jury Of Berrien

of money pent In trying to build
roads to meet increasing requirements
OF traffic, and recommends that the
County Commissioners call an cleo
tion to authorize the issue of 100000

ton be able to do anything else but
drop?
The government went to the rescue
of the wheat farmer and sent him to
grow a great record crop. The west
ern. farmer permitted his prices to be
fixed and now he is going to pull
down millions for it. The west is
wheat crazy now. This is SO because
the price of wheat was fixed. The
| cotton farmer has different story
to tell, and Hoke helped make that
different story as hard as he could. A
man in his place ought to hays&better
sense than to come back here and try
to make Georgians believe he was
working in their interests. He was
busy trying to embarrass President
Wilson as he has always been and he
jumped on the anti-price fixing wagon
to do his work The real interests of
the people did not weigh half so heavy
with him as the desire to strike at
the President.
In his Dublin address Senator
Smith wanted his hearers to know he
/ did not have anything to do with
world democracy. We might say that
If he should have something to do
with world democracy, his effort
might prove more lasting. 1t might
finally bring more good to the great
er number and it might not leave his
friends at home wondering whether
they should still believe in him.
President Wilson is somebody. He
Is not q dreamer and q crazy man, at
all. He is thinking and moving in
these days as great statesman. He
is hiding his efforts from crowd of
frenzied republican newspaper pro-
nagandists in Paris and plugging
ahead, twqpercent genius and IS
percent peIspiration.s He is not con-
sulting Hoke today any more than
he was consulting Hoke when he was
prosecuting the war to successful
conclusion. He found Senator Smith
the enemy OF constructive administra,
ton then and he would find him the
enemy of constructive peace delibera-
tions now
When Senator Smith tells a Geor.
gia audience he is not studying
world democracy, we prefer to think
he has not taken the trouble to find
out what it is. His sighting insinua.
ton very strongly indicates that this
is the case. He may get crowd of
hoodlums and rough necks to shout
applause when he reflects on Presi-
dent Wilson in this manner but he is
not going to find intelligent Georgians
any more ready to do that now than
did Tom Hardwick in the years of
his baleful career.

aspIclAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY
AokE.s CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Hoks Smith, who holds the distinc'
ton Of being the senior United States
senator from Georgia, ought to be
able to tell his constituency some
thing more elevating, more construc-
tive In craftsmanship than what he
said to the people in Dublin Thursday.
He is quoted as saying he had been
in Washington fighting for the inter
est OF his people and not for world
democracy" Wouldn't that pass if it
were labelled first class statesman
ship?f And what brings US to sIch
awful regrets about this speech is the
facttithat it is not true. Intelligent
people In Georgia know it is not true.
II he means the people of Georgia.
when he says my people" he's
wrong.
He has been fighting against con-
structive legislation in Washington
avery moment the good Lord gave
him. He has been trying as bitterly
as ever did Tom Hardwics to wreck
his own party ever since President
Wilson went into office. He has been
the father of every bone-headed play
the hayward Tom Hardwick made
while in the and he is now try
ing to tell the people OF Dublin that
he has been working for my people,
May be we do not understand well
enough who are my people"
He can stand up and tell Georgians
that he has been trying to lift ethe
embargo on cotton. He can plead as
eloquently as he pleases regarding his
own acts OF heroism with regard to
defeating the price-fixing, and while
at all this he may fool some OF the
wool hat boys, but he can not fool
the intelligent citizens.
Georgians know the embargo on C 1t.
ton cannot be lifted so long as we are
at war with the enemy,-and we are
Just at that critical stage at this good
moment. Does he think the allied
world is going to permit cotton to 60
to the enemy before there is peace?
II he has no better sense, it is a
pity that he does not credit Georgians
with having some intelligence. They
know it will. not do, price or no price.
II we have TO lose the last pound,
better not let the German enemy get
hold Of it.
Ano now 10 that great dramatic mo,
ment, the time when it was intimated
that President Wilson was about to
fix a price on cotton. Hoke was shin,
ing as the great leader of the object
ing southern element on cotton price
fixing He helped his crowd fight thu
President as long as he thought fight
ing might attract people back her,
in Georgia. He helped them rails,
such a rumpus that the Presiden
dropped the whole thing,-and cottol
dropped, has kept on dropping almos
ever since. The mills have no OF

GIRL KILLS SELF
BY POISON ROUTE

Courtenay, N. D.. April 24.-Ex-
planning In note tnat she had
penned just few minutes before
taking poison, that she was tired Of
living, Frances Walker, 15-year-old
school girl, killed herself at the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Walker, of Courtenay, yester-
day afternoon
In the note the girl asked that
her parents do not grieve too great
ly at her death; she listed a few
neighbors whom she desired to have
attend the funeral: she asked that
the service be simple, and she ask
ed that: her hair be done up in the
manner in which she had been ac-
customed to wearing it.
Trouble at school, which had re-
suited In her quitting, classes two
or three weeks ago, and the insist
ent desire Of her parents that she
return to school, which she did yes
terday morning, are believed re-
,sponsible for the girls death. The
girl threatened to kill herself when
forced to return to school, but her
parents thought nothing Of it.
In another portion of her death
note the girl said she didn't care
about having the school children at
tend the funeral, as abe didn't think
they cared for her. .t,. Is 8

MEANS
COMMUNITY PROGRESS

Golden Valley Progress: Loyalty
United We Stand, Divided We
FALL" is axiom of truth that ap-
plies to an individual community as
we'll as to q great commonwealth.
The people of the Golden Valley
unitedly can do a great deal. That
was demonstrated in maintaining
the great war activities. That spir-
1t of loyalty should ever be main
tained-in war and In peace.
The community can only profit by
it. The Golden Valley Progress
will ever stand upon the policy that
the trading public Of the Golden
Valley should be loyal to the home
town. The growth of q town
means the increase In the value of
real estate-both farm and town
In the community. The growth OF
town depends upon the loyalty
of the people Of the community.
If everybody in the Golden VAL
ley sent to Sears Roebuck for gro
ceries there would be no grocery
stores in Beach and the same ls
true OF clothing, shoes, and other
necessary supplies. rg r.
II there were no stores in Beach
there would be no fine big brick
depot, no electric lights, no churches
no theatre-in fact there would be
nothing here. The trains would
only stop in the fall when the farm
ers had grain to ship or live STOCK
for the market. But fortunately
Sears Roebuck does not supply
this whole commpnity.>.,.s=,..,.. ,.szSx,..,:,s,
II nobody In the Golden Valley
sent to Sears Roebuck for supplies,
but was absolutely loyal to his
home town, then we would have
larger and better grocery stores IN
Beach, and the merchants could
sell at smaller margin-and they
would have to for competition
would force them to it.; bigger and
finer lines of clothing; shoes, and
other necessities would be carried.
Instead of just plain electric lights
we would have great white way.
finer, bigger and better filled
churches and schools, finer thea
tre. The Golden Valley, Progreas
is not dedicating this editorial en-
tirely to the farming populace.
Indeed not! There are town folks
who preach Trade at Home" who
can be catalogued as the worst Of
tenders For instance the house
wife who can find nothing good
enough in the local stores and
who sends to Bellas Hess or to- Pal
.mers for her wearing apparel; or
who sends to Larkin for her toilet
articles-or the business man who
sends away for his printing when
there are printing Offices at home
that can do the work as well and
at about as good q price. Yes. al
most anything can be printed in
Beach and the idea that 1t cannot
be printed as we'll in Beach az
somewhere else Is pure bunk.
