AGAINST the Administration.

Georgia Democrats, IN state conven-
ton assembled, have seen fit to array
themselves and their party against the
administration Of President Wilson. The
primaries, while they resulted in the cleo
ton Of plurality Of delegates to the con-
vention favorable 70 President Wilson
and 10 the nomination of Attorney-Gen-
eraI Palmer for President, left the control
Of the convention to delegates elected IN
the interest Of Senator Hoke Smith and
Ex-Governor Thomas r. Watson, much
more Of Populist than Democrat. a
combination Of the Smith and Watson
forces comprised a majority Of the CON
vention. and hence the unpopular attitude
il assumed.
The convention was pronounced IN ITS
opposition to the League Of Nations, and
even went to the extent Of refusing TO m
dorse the administration Of President
Wilson. Smith. who has been an opponent
Of the administration in the Senate, and
Watson, the radical Populist, had their
way

Trouble in the Republican Camp.

The Republican County Committee.
at its recent meeting in this city, made
change in the apportiOnment OF the forty
delegates of Wilmington to Republican
State Conventions. As result Of its
manipulations. additional delegates We're
given to the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth
wards. at the expense of the Second. Sixth
and Eleventh. The losing wards are max
ing big fuss over this impairment, espe-
cially the Second and Sixth, where the
Negro vote is unusually large.
The action Of the committee, however,
is based on the principle Of representation
according 10 population, which was IN
dorsed BY the Republican party more than
half century ago. when representation
in State conventions was apporuoned 10

of population. But since that time the
party has been decidedly lukewarm in
respect Of this policy. and the county

there is no doubt that was the main pur-
pose of the Organization leaders, who

THE JEWEL CASE.


Thieves broke into house one day
And took some silver plate away,
A few loose coins, ring or two,
Then promptly disappeared from view.
Next day the paper bore this line:
Thieves miss II verltable minel
They take the trinkcts from q place
But overlook the jewel case,
A friend called on friend one day,
He needed money right away
He must have twenty" there and then,
Which he would promptly pay again
In such an hour the friend was glad
To share the silver tht he had,
But when the little debt was due,
The friend had disappeared from view.
OF him since then he's had no trace,
Nor even seen him face to face,
For twenty dollars he had sold
The friend whose love was good to hold.
Now from his side he stays away,
Keeping the coins he took away,
Not knowing in his petty mind,
He left the Jewel case" behind
He overlooked the kindly heart
Which down through life would take his
part,
He overlooked the friend in need
Who'd give whene 'er he came to plead.
The trifling sum which he obtained
Was small TO what he could have gained
Cheats take the trinkets that they find,
But leave the Jewel case behind.

Real Work for the Legislature.

1t is hoped the Legislature will now
be permitted to give undivided and con-
tinuous attention to the real work that
confronts it-revision of the School Code.
The cause of Equal Suffrage seems to be
doomed, and it is not possible to see any
good that could arise from continued
agitation. The revision of the School
Code is practical proposition, of enor-
nous importance to the State, and 1t
should be given exclusive attention until
final action isreached.
The commission appointed to consider
the code and suggest amendments per-
formed its work with uncommon ability.
The result is the inclusion in its report oil
printed copies of the law as 1T now is,
with the changes suggested by the COM
mittee plainly set forth so that the mem
bers, by careful perusual, can note what
the changes are and what they propose to
bring about. This will be great help to
intelligent consideration, and intelligent
consideration means practical action.
There is every reason why the recon-
mendations of the commission should be
approved in the main. with only such
changes as may, after consideration, ne
deemed more effective or beneficial. It's
fact that we have the code. 1t is fact
that it will remain, with changes II or
dered by the Legislature now in session.
or as it now stands, if otherwise. 1t is
conceded that repeal is out of the question
1t is apparent, therefore, that the best
course for the Legislature is to adopt the
proffered amendments, with such altera-
tions, possibly, as conferences and con-
sultations may suggest. All are directed
towards the improvement of the measure
and surely it will be better to have IL
improved to this extent, rather than nave
it continued without any alterations. Inc
proposed changes aim to modify, II not
entirely remove, the most serious OF the
objections that have been raised against
the provisions of the code as originally
enacted
Now. let the Legislature attend TO TINS
important work and then adjourn.
