GETTING READY TO RAISE H

A noisy, nasty nauseatng nneteen-twenty is
at hand
This remark is occasioned by the announce
ment from Washington that the Republican ma
tional committee has named the place and date Of
the Republican national convention-Nhich means
that the Democrats may be expected to do the
thing in a short while. The Republicans will meet
in Chicago on June to select their leader for the
presidency. There has been no indication as to the
city which will capture the Democratic meet.
Which doesn't matter much What matters
is that great campaign of vituperation mud sling
ing lying and passion which has been simmer
ing is about to break out in earnest. And unless
all signs fail the coming campaign will be the hot
test in two decades. What may develop between
now and the national election next November no
one can forsee. We may all hope however that
out of the heat of the struggle may come settle
ment of the uncertainties through which we are
feeling, both at home and throughout the world
And, by the way, doesn't it begin to look like
a certain man by the name of Leonard Wood was
about a lap in the lead of the bunch for the C. O.
P. nomination. People had already forgotten
about Hiram of California the rp-roaring foe oi
the League of Nations until he announced Saturday
that his hat was in the ring. If reports from Cali
fornia are not exaggerated Hiram will do well tc
go into the Chicago convention with his own home
state delegation and no other behind him.

THE TREATY SITUATION.

President Wilson still refuses to be made the
goat in the treaty situation by the majority leaders
of the senate who aided by handful of wiful
Democratic members defeated ratification of the
treaty at the last session Following the word from
Paris Saturday that the Allied powers were ready to
go as far as possible toward accepting the proposed
reservations to the treaty-certain of which, it was
indicated they could not accept-and following
the resultant talk of compromise in the senate
and the suggestion that the president take the ni-
tative the executive yesterday authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
1T was learned from the highest authority at
the executive Offices today that the hope of the
Republican leaders of the senate that the president
would presently make some move which will
Eeve the situation with regard to the treaty is
nrely without foundation; he has no compromise
or concession of any kind in mind, but intends so
far as he is concerned that the Republican leaders
of the senate shall continue to bear undivided re-
sponsibiIty for the fate of the treaty and the pres
ent condition of the world in consequence of that
fate
In which position it would appear, unless one
was Wilson hater, that the president is entirely
justified 1t is not for him to effect a compromise
but for the senate his duties are confined to sub
mitng the treaty to the senate and then either
cepting rejecting that bodys action of ratihca-
ton when it shall have been completed. But Lodge
and his crowd bent making politics of the whole
muddle. insist that it was the president who killed
the treaty and he must bear the responsibility un-
til he takes action to remedy the situation. The
president however is content to let the senate per-
spire under the constant pressure being exerted
from over the country by those citizens and bust
ness leaders who want the treaty ratified.
But compromise forces are moving, even if
reluctantly in the senate, and we may expect ac-
ton not long after the the first of the year that
should be stabilizer of sufficient power to largely
offset the effects of the presidential campaign

What Other Editors Saw
THE NEWSPAPER SITUATION.

The newspaper men of Georgia have decided
to raise rates of advertising and of subscription.
Many of them have already done so in order to
come out even, other waited until forced to do it
but they are up to it good and strong at the pres
ent time.
The newspaper men who met in Macon re-
Gently decided curtail advertising space as far
practicable and to make an advance in their
rates for all publications and advertising where it
was below certain specified and general normal.
The price of paper is anywhere above ten
cents 1t used to be delivered for three. Ink has
gone skying, machinery and type are above the
highest dreams of former days. It's a situation
that faces Georgia and newspaper men in various
other states. They have got to have for
their goods or go out of business.
Newsprnt in addition to being four times
what it used to be, is hard to get Newspapers
have got to curtail, which means the loss of ad-
vertisng, because they have not got the paper on
which to print their issues. We haven't supply
sufficient to warrant any chances. We may not
get any more before this is exhausted The sit
uation is bad and the chances are for it to be
worse. There has rarely ever been in all history
a gloomier outlook for newspapers at a time when
business would be good if they had the facilities
for handling it.-Thomasville Times-Enterprise.

the national defense were forecast has the follow
ing to say:
'All Georgia will be glad that Americus and
Columbus have such fine prospects for becoming
permanent sites of Souther Field and Camp Ben
ming. This gladness will not be, however due to
the fact that either Americus or Columbus was
selected, but because Nature has been 80 prodi-
gal in her gifts to these two cities of this great old
state. Either of these establishments are matters
of great pride to the entire state of Georgia, and
any city would be glad to be able to offer such
sites for such establishments as these but Georgans
recognize that some spots are more favored than
others for particular undertaking. and they would
have been just glad if other cities had been as
favored as these.
Naturally Americus people and Columbus
people whole feel great pride in the fact that
their cities have been thus blessed-that they have
been enabled to offer such sites to their govern
ment nevertheless there is that patriotism that
beats within their breasts that would have cast self
pride to the winds if other cities had been found
more fitted for Souther Field or Camp Benning. 1t
Is not an Americus project Columbus project
the selection of these two sites for these estab-
lishments-but it is national project-a project
for the good of the nation. This being true it is
matter of pride to all Ceorgians and should be to
the entire nation that places we'll adapted to the
uses to which they will be put have been found
in section that is highly favored with climatic
conditions these two are.
Neither Americus nor Columbus are to be
congratulated so much upon having been selected
for these military establishments as upon the great
Providential favor that has been shown them
In all of which there is more than need
of truth

BASE BALL CATECH|SM
Lesson babe Ruth

Oh, see the mani Isn't he a big
man. Yes.
What is the man doing! The man is
going to the plate.
Is he going to bats Yes, indeed; you
can tell that by the way the fielders arc
going to the fence.
Can this man hit this pitcher9 You
said it. This man can hit any pitcher.
His name is Babe Ruth.
What makes the fans in the pavilions
move away! They are moving away
because they know if Ruth fouls one
just right and they are there TO meet
it, they will see their next game in
heaven.
What does Ruth hit? Ruth hits home
runs.
But does Ruth always hit home runsl
No, Ruth does not always hit home runs
Some days he gets his base ON balls, and
other days the game is called on ac-
count of rain.
Why are the pitcher and catcher talk
ing to each otherl Is the game overt
No, indeed, with Ruth at the bat, the
game is just begun. The catcher
wants to feed him one ON the inside,
and the pitcher wants to pitch one out
side.
Will it make any difference which
way they pitchl Yes, it will make a
little difference. If they pitch outside,
Ruth will hit the ball over the left field
fence, and if they pitch inside, he will
slap it over the right field.
Oh, see the pitcher throw the ball.
Ism it coming in fast? 1t is, but not
so fast as it is going out.
Did the bali have anything on it?
Yes, indeed, the ball had Babe Ruth s
bat on it.
My goodness, what a loud crash. Was
that an explosion9 Yes, it was an ex-
ploson. Ruth s bat exploded and blew
in four runs.
Is the game over now! Wei say it
is-for the pitcher. y. V. d.

Grand Reunion in
Bleachers

Grand reunion of the center field
bleachers fans on the occasion of the
second invasion of the eastern teams
was held at White Sox Park, August IA,
1919. Wit, sarcasm and good natured
raillery flowed in an uninterrupted
stream for more than two hours and a
half. That's the place where the 33
degree fans of Chicago roost, ninety per
cent of them moved over from 39th
street with the team. You will find
them there the hottest day in July or
the coldest day of October. Say,
Brother, if you don't know the game,
keep your mouth shut. The average
fan in that section attends ninety per
cent of the big league games played in
Chicago and about ninety per cent of
the semi-pro games. They know every
ball player the minute he gets out ON
the field. About 1910 are actors and
railroad men, who attend games in other
big time towns during the season.

C|COTTE'S Off YEAR

So great is the number of baseball
writers who continually harp about 1918
being an off year for Cicotte, that |, as
student of the game, refer them 10 the
book. | well remember a stretch of five
successive games last year that he lost
by the score of 10. The sixth game he
won by the score of 10. In other words,
the White Sox scored just one solitary
run for him i'll six successive games,
one of them an extra inning affair. How
many games are you going to win on
that working marginl As matter of
fact, he won the only one of the six
that they gave him anything to win
with. Walter johnson. Dick Redding,
Withworth, Sothern, Jess Barnes and
Alexander combined can't win games
when no runs are scored. | suppose this
showing indicates a slump, but if he
never Slumps any worse | shall be salts
fed. In my opinion game lost by the
score Of 10 ought not TO count against
otherwise, because he had absolutely
no chance 10 win. The fact that he
held the opposing side 10 a single run
indicates that he pitched star game.
He pitched well enough to deserve TO
win. II is not his fault his own team
mates failed to score That is their
look out. The pitcher himself pitched
winning ball, and if he is cheated out
of victory he should have had, eer-
tainly that is pcHaify enough without
chalking mp an undeseryed defeat
against his account.
