The question is bigger than Mr.;
Wilson, great man though ne u.s. ana
greater than any political party or ad-
ministration. The feeling is general
that there must be stop somewhere;
that things have gone as far as they
can. and that if struggle must come
II had Just as well come now. The
thing must be settled some time, ana
perhaps this is as good time as any.

Titled himself to join either. Water

If those butt-headed senators were
to succeed in amending the treaty
and the other countries were to re-
fuse to accept the amendment we
would like to know just what kind of

MANY a young man from IT to 81
years of age is trying to decide whe-
Their he will hold job at a salary
ranging from $500 to $4,000 or
complete his observation-disclosures
Observer.
And many of them who are not
obliged to do it, will take the money
and let the education Ego to pot. "
When too late in after years they
will find out the difference.
We see it stated in some sections
the jails are empty. That would be
mighty good place for that crowd
of folks who are offered work and
refuse to do it.-Commerce News.
An entirely reasonable suggestion
which we should like to see become
operative.
The candidate for Office, photo
graphed in the American army uni
form, and asking for election to the
office he aspires, because he served
in the army, is not fit for the Office.
Greensboro Herald-Journal.
That is certainly true, but Of course
the fact that a fellow served in the
army or navy will not hurt his can
didacy when he does not make it an
issue in the race.
About the best check we have seen
on speed fends is at the little town
of Arab, in Crisp county. At the
town limits is a sign: Danger
Speed Limit Ten Miles an Hour" If
driver doesn't heed that sign the
first time, he will the next. Across
the street there are three "Thank-you-
marms" each of which will throw
the passenger in a speeding auto into
the top of the car. One Of them is
enough. And the people of Arab go
about their business smilingly and
cars pass through town with an air
of subdued respect. Triton should
have about six Of these on each prin-
cipal street, and four at the junction

There is one serious objection to in

probably own the jails within twenty

Strange the changes time brings.
Once the South wanted negro seq
regation and the North would have
none of it; now Southern writer's and
speakers are pointing out the advan-
tage to the country of scattering the
negro throughout the North, East and
West thus giving the people chance
to know him better and the negro
opportunity for race expansion, and
our Northern friends will have none
of it. Like a good many other prob
lens, the negro question is easiest Of
solution at distance.-Cordele Sen

Clippings and Comments

Laziness and false pride tend t.
make living more expensive. The
man who abhors manuel toll ond the
female who feels that she would low
err her social standing should she dc
her household work are willing to pay
such high prices for servants when
labor is scarce that wages ADVANCE
Cuthbert Leader.
Not being a lazy man we will agree
to the first part Of the paragraph,
and being q married man we will say
that the last part don't fit US.
Those negroes of the DuBose type
who hate white man because he is
white and a black man because he is
not white and can't be, are doing their
race a great injustice.-Dalton Citi-
zen.
Vic Berger has retired as member
of the National Executive Committee
of the Socialist party. He says he
served as a member of the committee
ever since the party was organized,
and all he ever got out of it was a
twenty-year prison sentence. At
least we admire his candor and appre-
ciate his humor.-Dalton Citizen.
Longer terms and more of them,
handed out to a number of men Of the
Berger stripe would do a lot of good
in this country.
If senator Hoke Smith joins the re
publicans in their fight on the peace
treaty he will be doing exactly what
the great majority Of his constituency
do not want him to do. The people
of Georgia, with very few exceptions,
want the treaty ratified. They are
tired of politics.-Dalton Citizen.
Considering the source of the re-
ports to that effect we are wholly
unable to believe that Senator Smith
has done any such thing, nor do we
believe he will do it.
Old Doc Yak Carranza is also
against the League of Nations. Come
tot think of it, about the only differ
ence between him and Senator Lodge
is in the length of their whiskers.-
Dalton Citizen.
And given time Lodges whiskers
may grow.

1t doesn't look right that Polk coun

class, should be taxed for State

counties less progressive. Yet, in
order to make available Florida's
share Of Federal appropriation for
roads, which share amounts to $4,000,

equal sum, which can only be raised
by bonding. And Polk county folks
needs roads in other counties, so that

CAPE SABLE

Findings OF the jury of men to
whom the Chamber of Commerce del
egated the opportunity of finding the
truth about Cape Sable, begin their
report in this issue of the Journal.
The story is wonderful and justifies
the Journal in all that has been said.
When the Tampa Tribune took the
Journal to task in friendly way for
being as it expressed it, deluded to
give b land company free editorial
advertising, said that we thought we
knew our ground. The reports from
the Cape justify everything which
we have said about the Cape, every
thing which Frank j. Powers has
said about it, except for the fact that
it has never told the story large
enough. There has been too great
conservatism.

New gasoline motors for lighter
than air craft have been worked
out and received their firstItest on
the flight Of the dirigible C-5 from
Montauk Point, Long Istland. TO ST
Johns. Newfoundland. So well aid
they function that decision has been

70 Ireland with the C-5 before the
ship was blown TO sea and wrecked.
Another attempt to cross the Allan
tic will be made as soon as similar
engines can &c installed n ar other

Extensive tests with dirigibles
driven by the motors previously en-
ployed for this service are said TO
have demonstrated that the big gas
bags could not carry enough fuel
TO insure safe passage across the At
lantic. A Pacific coast concern then
turned out the engines which went
into the C-5 after they had been
tested at the navy yard gear in a
275-hour continuous run which gave
remarkable results in fuel economy.
Details OF engine construction and
performance have not been disclosed
but il is understood that on the 20
hour continuous flight of the CO
from Montauk Point 10 St. Johns
the motors did better than was ex-
pected.
