Partisan Politics and Envy

There seems to be no doubt that the Republicans and
particularly some of their leaders, furious with
over the reception Mr. Wilson is getting in Europe
TO Mr. Roosevelt for instance, it is like dregs OF a
very bitter cup have to stay at home in private life
while great is fought, and to have that war sue
cessfuly conducted by his political enemies
1t probably the last great war; we certainly nope SO

had Democrat as president to have had him go to
Europe and such ovatons must be calling to our
strenuous president.
We did not look with favor upon Mr. Wilson'S trip to
Europe this time but may be for the best IN the
end If we are able to judge from this distance, ne
early he did in order to sodfy the democracy
of Europe in favor of plan of peace, which will pre-
cude the further possibility of and thus force this
plan through at the coming peace conference
We do not think Mr.. Wilson is infalibe-we know he

Others but willing to trust his honesty of pur-
pose and we believe he about apt to do the right
thing as any Of his critics would be.
Still do not deem every man dishonest who dis

decent way.
In some quarters there is disposition to persecrate
every who ventures to express an opinion OF MS
own if it does not coincide with Mr.. Wilson's views.
We know of instance of this which is not honest
at all, but is being carried on for political effect

Good Roads Again

Roads should be built the ground and not on paper
but mighty few roads built without discussion.
We have been "cussing" and discussing roads about
long enough begin to get down to the ground with
them in Georgia.
We know it takes money well plan to build
roads and in order get money there must be plan
and law.
At present to have neither in this state, and
we recently invoked the governor, through this column
call extra session of the Legislature to deal with
road laws and create highway commission law which
the general government would recognize sufficiently to
pay over to it the large of money tied up in
Washington.
The whole state pretty nearly in the boat
far as roads concerned and the papers doing
lot of agitating with little effect.
Note the following from The Dalton Citizen:
Since the government is becoming very active
in the matter of road construction there is little
doubt but what better progress will be made in the
future One of the hindrances of building good roads
in Georgia is the lack of functonng state highway
commission. The state of Georgia has built
roads on paper than any other state in the union,
and has fewer real roads show for her efforts 1t
is well enough to talk and agtate live question
but when it comes to doing thing it takes something
besides cards in newspapers and apologies from Off
Gals to make a road that the people get

separate road plan, and although general system

OPPOSES AX-GRINDING

Every publisher who has been in
vited to "roast" somebody or some
thing through his columns will read
with pleasure the following from the
Sentinel of Friend, Neb.:
"a newspaper must not be expect
ed to fight personal battles for sub
scribers. It's influence must be used
for the people as whole. Every week
some of cur good friends ask us to
make somebody do something Of
course we feel complimented when
we hear that a subscriber feels that
the paper is an important factor in
the community. But as to making
anybody do thing you have got the
wrong idea, brother. If we were to
take every complaint that comes to
our notice the Sentinel would be too
warm a job for us. Here are some
of the late questions: we wish you
would go after the stores because
they stay open so late Saturday
night we wish you would go after
the city council because the streets
are not sprinkled more frequently
why don't you say something about
the people who run their cars in the
city with the cut-out open?' Why
isn't the speed ordinance enforced?'
why don't you expose poker games?'
why do nearby towns pay more for
grain than Friend?' why don't So
and-so go to WARP Why we could
go on until this column is full. All
these are mentioned kindly in an eff
fort to side-track some of them. Of
course we know that many of them
are asked in joking manner, but
many people are in earnest and be-
come angy when the paper appears
without word said of their COM
plant. Every citizen is a part of the
city government. Every city is part
of the national government, but he
must not expect newspaper to fare
up and raise Cain with another
citizen and at the same time protect
the complainer from publicity"

Flirting Princess"
Is Hit at Newport

One of the finest shows Newport
has seen in many day. That was
the concensus of opinion of the au-
diencc that witnessed the perform
ance of "The Flirting Princess" a
sparkling musical comedy, at Lanes
Opera House last night. A splendid
cast and chorus of pretty girls was
presented by Harry Bulger and this
excellent company has found warm
spot in the heart of lovers of high
class musical comedy. There was a
large audience.
Without question Bulger himself
was the individual star of the show
and his funny songs and sayings
kept the crowd in q continuous up
roar of laughter. His song "The
Town Where / Was Born" was Il
particular hit and he sang it fast and
in almost one breath. Marjorie
Sweet as Princess Clio, "The Flilt-
ing Princess" did especially well and
expressed great charm of manner.
' Lillian Goldsmith, girl with beau
tiful auburn hair is very clever
little dancer and dainty and charm
ing in appearance. There was va
ried selection of catchy songs and
dances on the program which proved
very pleasing.

PEACE TREATY
KILLED IN SENATE

Continued from page one)
which got only So votes to SO oppos-
ing it. Only one republican, Senator
McCumber of North Dakota, voted
with the democrats in its support.
Republican Leader Lodge declared
the voting constituted final deci-
sion on the peace treaty unless Pres
ident Wilson circumvented the Sen
ate rules by withdrawing it and then
submitting it again to the Senate. In
other quarters there was some differ
cnce of opinion, but the general SEN
timent seemed to be that there was
only slender chance that the treaty
would come up at the beginning of
the next session of Congress, begin
ling next month.
One effect of the Senates failure to
ratify the treaty will be the continu-
alton of various wartime laws and
regulations at least until the new
sessions opens, Among these is the
wartime prohibition act
The resolution presented to declare
a state of peace will come up at the
beginning of the new session and is
expected to start another stubborn
fight. The administration is under
stood to be opposed to such meth
cd of legally ending the war and in
the background is y constitutional
question as to whether Congress can
do so by resolution not requiring
the Presidents signature.
1t was suggested among democratic
senators that President Wilson might
be asked during the recess to feel out
the other powers as to their attitude
on reservations with the idea of
bringing the treaty to some sort of q
ratification after Congress reassem-
bles.
Senator Hitchcock said the treaty
was not dead and that he presumed
the President would resubmit it on
December / although he had no de-
finite word from the President to that
effect. He said he thought the re-
publicans had worked themselves
"into very akward position" and
had split themselves in the Senate
and the country.
