SIMPLE. TRAFFIC RULES.

While the war was still going on few hun
dred doughboys acted as traffic managers all
through the zone, in rest areas and on import
ant roads leading to the front trenches. They did
the job pretty well, too Now the state guardsmen
who took charge of Boston streets during the po-
lice strike have come forward with set of rules
to improve traffic conditions on crowded thorough
fares Among the dos are suggestions which
are just applicable to the country crossroads to
the small town on Saturday night and to much-used
public highways they are to the crowded streets
of big city. Here are few:
Do be alert; do be considerate to others US
ing the street, do be considerate of pedestrians es-
pecally about scattering mud do signal before you
leave the curb when pulling out of line to pass
other vehicles; do keep to the right as far as pos
sible; do be reasonable in speed when coming into
or going out of town; do be considerate of horses
drawing heavily loaded vehicles"
In other words, play fair with the rest of the
people using the street you are using.
Some of the "don'ts" are interesting too.
Don't fail to realize that driving downtown is a
man size job and requires youl f,1i' attention
don't talk to the motorman applies with equal
force to the automobile operator in heavy traffic
don't fail to look for the traffic officer and watch
tor his signals; don drive into an uncertainty
A generous use of such common sense as one
already possesses and earnest cultivation of more
OF the same would cover these don'ts pretty thor
oughly. 1t is odd how fair play and common
sense straighten out tangles in traffic as we'll as
most of lfe's problems.

LABOR LEADERSHIP.

The Saturday Evening Post calls attention to
salient fact about the steel strike that must have
been noted, in the early days of the strike by
anyone who followed it carefully 1t is the ignor-
ance shown by the strike leaders on matters that
they were expected to know as a matter of course
Did they know about the wages in the steel
industry? hey did not-and said so. Did they
know facts about the actual hours the men worked
in the steel industry? They did not Did they
know what percentage of empIoyees-if any
were being physically crushed by overwork as
they freely claimed? They did not
On the other hand they knew and talked
at length about variety of things which were dark
and sonorous in the telling but which proved on
investigation either to be not so or to have moth
ing whatever to do with their case.
These men did not know their own business
from their own standpoint, concludes The Post
heir testimony before Congress proved that
1t was the with the public statements is
sued by the strike leaders. They gave nothing but
vague generalities-no facts and figures whereby
the public could determine for itself the status of
the steel and the justice of their complaints.
Samuel Gompers eventually came to the rescue
with few figures that gave some light on the sub
JO~''
that of the actually in control of the strike was
and has remained pitifully inadequate
1t has been the same with the coal strike. Here
was case where it particularly desirable to
have the facts presented fully and clearly Yet
the strike leaders made no effort to enlighten the
public. Such data as were needed for any ordinary
citizen public official to form trustworthy opin-
ion about the merits of the strike had to be supplied
IRON government sources, or from the statistical
files of newspapers and of citizens particularly in
terested in such matters
In both strikes the case of the workmen has
been very poorly presented by the men they chose
to represent them. Inexcusable as both strikes
were there can be no doubt that the strikers
would have suffered less in public estimation if
their leaders had known their business and recog-
nized the need of making full, honest presenta-
ton of the facts to the general public.
Union labor is getting some hard knocks lust
now 1t is the leaders that responsible The
public sympathzes with union labor-when union
labor makes it possible. Why do great labor or
CARNATIONS entrust their fortunes to foolish and
incompetent leadership?

A CHANCE FOR SUMTER SLIPPING.

In another column Of this issue will be found
news story from Cordele announcing that that
city is undertaking seriously to the location
there of the Drs. Wise, of Plains, who for some
time have been looking for site for the removal OF
their hospital from Plains, where they say they have
outgrown the facilities offered.
The Drs Wise have wanted for some time to
come to Americus; they want to build great SAN
itarium; they have been more than favorabIy i'm
pressed with this city; in coming here they would
still be in Sumter county where they have resided
so long and which they love so we'll Although
their coming has been opposed by certain interests
which have represented a small minority the
Chamber of Commerce has openly invited them to
locate here and has even attempted to go farther,
the official board of the chamber having ordered
that every assistance be rendered the Drs. Wise to
locate here and every effort be put forth to bring
this institution here, slice it would otherwise be
lost to Sumter county.
The Chamber of Commerce of Americus and
Sumter county the Amercus Rotary Club and
other civic organizations. besides large number
of influential citizens, have extended invitation, di-
rectly or indirectly, to the Drs. Wise to come to
Americus
But there the matter rests. Our chamber rep
resents Americus and Sumter county. 1t must not
let another city step in and take what already is
ours. Active steps must be taken Immediately, or
this great Sumter county institution will be lost to
us forever.
The citizens of Americus and Sumter county
are looking to their commercial organization to
put this over" Are they to be disappointed?

PEACE BY RESOLUTION

Can the be brought to close, so far as
the United States is concerned, by concurrent
resolution of both houses of Congress-. annoupc-
ing state of peace9 Former President Taft who
is regarded as an authority on constitutional and
international law says no.
Such resolution, he declares, even if pass
Americus times-recorder., 1919-11-28

ed, will be only expression of opinion by the two
houses that the treaty to which thus far we have
declined to be party has created peace for us
without agreeing to it. 1t will have effect
neither a law a treaty, nor as an authori-
tative declaration by any branch of our govern
ment authorized to speak in a binding, effective
way foreign relations 1t can't even be
officially transmitted to Germany or our allies un-
less the President consents to forward it
1t hardly seems possible that Congress will
pretend to make peace by such an undignihed and
questionable process. The sensible thing, of course
for Senators of both parties get together early
in the regular session, which begins Dec and
adopt compromise set of interpretative reserva-
tons and ratify the peace treaty in the regular
way Any other procedure will end nothing and
settle nothing, but only leave mess of war prob
lens and International disputes for President and
Congress to squabble over nterminably, to t he
neglect of vital doemstic affairs

HERE'S A DROP
IN PRICES; BUICK
PARTS LOWERED

"The Buick Motor Company of
Flint, Michigan, have Just sprung a
big surprise upon the motor car in
dustry of this country in announc-
ing reduction in the price of Bu-
lex repair parts" w. G. Turpin of
w. G. Turpin & Co., local distribu-
tor, said today. "This is an un-
usual announcement at this time,
when nearly all manufacturers are
making price advances in nearly all
of their products.
'Due to the improved manufac-
turing facilities, the establishing of
repair parts stocks among their
dealers (this means hundreds of in
dividual stocks and the purchasing
of raw materials in the largest
quantities has made it possible to
reduce the prices upon a large por-
tion of Buick repair parts. The
price reduction upon some of the es-
sential parts ranges from Is to 35
per cent, thereby giving to each
owner an advantage that will be
extremely beneficial to all.
"The Buick Motor Company has
always maintained close co-opera-
ton with their owners through the
different factory departments and
likewise through dealers organiza-
tion Prompt service to owners has
been an important factor of their
business, in requiring that the needs
of each owner are skillfully taken
care of and that efficient service
as rendered.
"Instead of devoting all of their
time to the manufacture of Buick |
automobiles, the Buick Motor Com
pany, has been equipping themselves
to increase their parts service to their |
thousands Of daily users, thereby en-
aiding the owner to hold his up
keep cost to minimum.
Large repair parts distributing
departments are established in each |
state, through which the dealers
stocks are kept up to the maximum. |
Special travellers regularly go over
each district monthly, checking up
each an devery stock so that prompt /
service can be rendered upon
minutes notice.
Zone can readily see the important
advantages that such an organiza-
ton affords to the Buick tourist and
local owner. Over-crowding the /
factory with small orders is eliminat-
ed and replaced by shipments in car
load lots to dealers and distributing
points, thus causing a considerable |
saving in transportation and hand
ling
in nearly all manufacturing
plants, repair parts are made right |
along with their product, but such
Is not the case with Buick parts. /
These are manufactured in separate
plants built especially for this pur-
pose and reversed entirely from the
building of motor cars. This enables
the factory to devote their entire
time to repair parts construction
and are not compelled to curtail or
stop manufacture to give preference |
to the construction of new motor
cars
Improved and efficient equipment
together with the proper organiza-
ton has made it possible for the
Buick factor to render this valuable 4
service to their owners in the reduc- II
lion of part prices while some con-
Germs are being forced to make in
creases.

LOST BALL LETS
ALBANY DEFEAT
AMER ICUS 6-5

There was a fairly good game of
baseball played Tuesday afternoon
on the Agricultural College grounds
here that demonstrated two things.
One of these is that the Albany and
Americas teams are about evenly
matched, and the other is that Jack
Hoist is good umprie-he lasted
through the whole game, with but
one little row, and Americas and AL
bany fans generally conceded the
fairness of his decisions.
The game should have been Am
CIRCUS, and this is no attempt to
establish an alibi, either. Sam Ded-
man probably was charged with an
error that lost the game for the To-
Gals, but it could hardly be rightly
charged to his account that the grass
in right field was so high it com,
pletely hid the ball-while two AL
bany runners romped around the
whole circuit of bases, and then some.
Just as the search was about to be
given up the pellet was found by
a player who had been drafted from
Souther Field to wear an Americas
uniform, and the game proceeded.
The score was tied before this hap
pened, and the best Americas could
do afterward was to push one run
ner across the rubber.
1t wasn't fast game, but it was
interesting because of the old rival
ny between Americas and Albany. Il
was the first game played between
the two cities in several years on a
local diamond, and many of the
old fans were there. Jim Walker
organized rootin orally in the
lucky seventh" that enabled the
Americas lads to tie the score which
had stood a to 1 during several bad
innings, and after that the home
boys yelled themselves hoarse un-
til the last ball was tossed, and AL
bany came through a winner.
1t was interesting to see "Oh You
Tommy Hooks cavorting around in
baseball uniform again. Jeff Nc
Clesky was another old star who APP
peared on the diamond yesterday
and fans of the older set watched
their work with critical eyes. Both
showed up well, though Jeff let two
easy ones through his hands, and
Hooks arm appeared a lie "off" as
compared with it's former agility.
Cliff Myers pitched a good game, be-
ing stingy throughout with hits and
passes alike; Robert Lane, old Mer-
Ger star that he is, performed ex-
cellentlye~both at the initial sack
and at the bat; Dan Chappell was in
good form at second and Sam Ded.
manblayed a jam-up game in right
garden-until he lost the ball and let
those two Albany players romp
home, with the score tied, and Am
CIRCUS going strong. But as said in
the opening paragraph, it wasn't al
together SANS fault. The several
players who came from Souther Field
to display Americas uniforms all
played good ball.
ta-The< game was a slow one, anC
seemed to lack pep" until the sew
enth when Americas rooters got
busy, and that Albany twirler ran
out of saliva with which he contin-
Aually coated the ball. After the sew,
enth the game was all that could be
expected from two strong amateur
outfits, and the fans present enjoy
ed it greatly. The final score was
