M,ADoo,s CANDIDACY.

Not a little uncertainty has existed among the democrats as to whether William G. McAdoo was a candidate for the democratic nomination, and it still exists. There are those who maintain that he doesn't want the uncertain honor this year, that he knows there is no possible chance for democrat but that he is laying his wires for four years hence. Likewise there is feeling also that he wants to skip the effects of an endorsement by the president at this time.
 But in spite of all these views it is impossible to overlook the statement that he makes in a communication to The secretary of the Georgia state Semocratic committee in declining to permit his name to be used in the primary of that state. AfcAdoo in contrast to MT. Hoover does not say that he is not a candidate. He doesn't approve cf the primary idea, however but apparently believes in taking his chances with the convention than tc striving for delegations from the va ssous states.
 Though he does say he isn't a candidate MT. -McAdoo does say to the Georgia Committeeman that he will not seek the, homination because be believes that the next nationa convention should be a free conyen. ton where patriotic men and womer should be permitted to record theiI Rnfettered judgment as to the plat.

This is the time when the repubI- cans of the variOu towns of the state are selecting delegates to the state convention which will select those who are to represent the state in the national convention at Chicago for the purpose of adopting the platform and selecting the party nominees tor president and vice president. These caucuses are of course minor matters in comparison with the duties before the state and national delegates, but there is nevertheless a responsibility involvess therein winch is bound to have it's influence in the discharge of the much larger duties if proper at tention is given to these small affairs The caucus is the beginnings Effort should be made to lay the proper foundation right at the start and for that reason there should he 3 large and represcaj jative gathering at these party meetings. As the twlg is bent so is the tree inclined is a saying that may well be remembered in connec- with the party caucus. Start it right and keep 1t going in that direction is an aim that can be accOmpl plshed through large caucus attandances.
 The republicans of Norwich have been summoned for Thursday even ing to choose those who will repre- sent them at the state and congress sional district conventions. l. is not a matter that should be left to a few It is time for the rank and file tC manifest their interest and to show the proper enthusiasm as the open- ing gun Of the presidential campa .gr is fired.

ETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Emmet and Barnes.

MT. Editor: Perhaps I should put the last name first, in honor of our cosmopolitan citizen who can so readily adapt himself to any national occasion.
 There was an old song, which l partly remember, in which the author styles himself An English Irish Scotchman,Y r and it is only needed now that the Knights of St. George and the Dragon, invite our citizen to ad- dress their body, in order to com plete his claim to the foregoing title.
 There are some advantages how ever, in selecting a speaker who is not tor the manner born, for if he does wabDle a little he is excusable, and this affords an opportunity for others-better informed-to set him r-ght. In his parallel between Elm met and our Washington, the speak CT said, If Washington had failed, he would have been hung by the En- glisl. the same as Emmet."
 Now, Mir. Editor, was Emmet hung by the English? From what little we know about the trial we understand that Emmet was tried in an Irish court before an Irish judge, prose cuted by an Irish barrister. Emmet defended himself-but the prosecutor was a pfoleSe or EInmeI'S father, Plunkett by name, I believe, and Elm met is reported to have made this re- tort, that his father had nurtured ] @ V-per to sting his son.
 1 Emmet, 'tis true, was a Protestant i and it is to the credit of the few 1 Protestants who embraced the Irisf i cause, that they stood out and took ! their medicine.
 Francis Mckinley, ancestor of th' : president, was also hung on the pub. i lie square of Colevaine, June 25, 179S and was buried in the streets of tha town in County Derry, Ireland. In he r0ic manhood Emmet did paralle
 Washington, where the Irish presi- dent CD De Valera of today fall! short.

coERclNG TIE TURKS.

Drastic action for the purpose of coercing- Turkey is going to be taken immediately according to Premier Lloyd George. The idea seems to be to send large squadron of warships to show Turkey that the allied na- tions have the means of blowing it press upon them the important fact that hereafter serious consideration, must be given to the demands for re- formation in that quarter.
 And probably as the result of the Adriatic affair there is @ disposition to sound the United States on the course to be pursued As matters stand this country is not a member of the league, it is not and never has been at war with Turkey. It has been clearly demonstrated that it will not accept a mandate in that region and though it wants to see fair Urea tment for the oppressed in Asia Minor it is really not a party to the peace ar ra~& aments.
 It is time, however, to reach a de- cis.on as to what is going to be done in that country. but how lasting can the naval demonstration be expected to be following GaHipoi. Perhaps money and time would be saved if they sent the sultan a picture book containing the warships. past. pres i ent and projected, of the allied na tions.
 Memory serves the Turks as well as the others. They know how many ! times demonstrations have beer
 made and how frequent and seriou. have been the threats if Turkey
 didn't reform and become civilized And Turkey appreciates that they
 have been disregarded and forgottel
 quite as often as they have beer i made. That is what makes the pro i posed demonstration seem like trylnl
 to tame 2 wild beast by parading
 lot of policemen in front of it. Wha Turkey needs $ as demonstration o the fact th9t the allies means busi
 ness and until it is thus convincet | it can be expected to be trouble
 maker.

FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES.

The consumers council has passed a resolution urging that the minis try Of food should be constituted as a permanent state department. We are not in favor of an undue muitiplica- tion of state departments, but in this case we think that there is much to be said for the proposal. It is un- doubtedly a fact that the ministry was a potent factor during the war not only in securing supplies and their fair distribution, but also in keeping down the cost of living. If the cost of food in this country still remains far below the cost in conti- mental countries, that is partly due to the activities of the ministry. And it will certainly be years before the eff fleets of the war will disappear. Late Bishop of Lewes.-Dr. Herbert Jones, the late bishop of Lewes, was
 a man of many accomplishments. He was a brilliant organizer, and pos l sessed an almost ideal personality for l a high dignitary of the church.
 l While rector of Petworth, from 1897 1 to 1906. he exercised a fine influence | upon the social life of this town that

SELLING OUR SHIPS.

The question of, determining what is going to be done with the vessels built by thes government and now in control of the shipping board should and doubtless will get a thorough airing before the senate commerce committee.
 Under existing conditions. accord ing to the former chairman of the shipping board, this government will own 1900 steel vessels representing approximately 100000 tons by Sep tember oe this year. This is of course barring sales and losses. That the country should not attempt to oper- ate these vessels in competition with private concerns is believed to be in accord with general sentiment, but the method by which the ships shall be disposed of and still be kept as a part of the merchant marine re- mains to be determined.
 Already the lower house of con gress has gone on record as favoring legislation that directs the shipping board to dispose of the vessels under it's control to private persons and firms at the worlds market value anC to stop the government construction work. By such a method the winding up of the governments ship building and operating activities could be ac' complished the quickest. Whether i would result in a greater loss thar would result from the retention o1 the vessels until proper prices art obtainable will doubtless get due consideration at the senate hearing at which time the -Natter of Emitin: i the time in which the board should comply with the directions will als 1 have to be given proper attention.
 The production of ships has beel ] accomplished. We have today such i merchant marine as we have longe ! for these many years and it is of tn ' utmost importance that whatever leg

Our Liaht Plant Finances.

MT. Editor: From the call that has been issued for a specitl city meeting the impression is gained that the people have got to go down in their pockets again for the benefit of the gas and electrical department. It wants to borrow s23,0eO and to be relieved from paying back $27,O00 previously borrowed or total of S5000O.
 It seems to me it was only about three years ago that the city was in- vited to and agreed to let the de- partment have an additional s50,0o0 to carry it through the year. After that about a quarter of a million was authorized to be spent on the plant. Still if I am properly inform ed the plant is not able to meet the demands, hasn't enough money to meet requirements now and cannot see it's way to paying s27.Oo0 of a loan of 1 $45 900 made to it by the city in 191S

Young Mrs. Harpenter ran to the door and gave her returning husband a kiss of greeting. She displayed more than the usual attitude of sat isfaction and just a hint of propitia- ton.

Knows From Experience.

MT. Editor: Having read in your paper recently letters for and against SplntualiSm 1 would like to give my ideas in regard to it. I am the daughter of a minister who is preach ing in this state at the present time. l was always brought up in the Or thodox faith and never went to any other church until last November when I had the privilege to attend a Splrltualist meeting and got a mess age from my sister regarding the children which I knew nothing of un- til writing and asking them about 1t: and it was true what she told me. l then was convinced of her life over there and know she knows what is going on here. Since then I have taken special interest in read ing and studying the Bible and found that it does teach Spiritual sm. If others will look up in the Bible the following verses, I am sure they will see with careful thought that there is something to it: John 16-13. 1st Epistle of John Al, and also Romans Sth chapter, 26 and 27 verses. There are great many other verses in the Bible but too many to quote here
