WHY DOESN'T HE MOVE TO
GEORGIA.?

We are Of the opinion that the publ
in no better way can ascertain the ma
hci0Ms and disgruntled mind Of the &c
tor and publisher of the KirOn New
than to quote from an editorial whic
appeared in that sheet on last week
The following 10 what he said:
They Wanted a Change.
1.-THE deliberately planned and
layishly financed conspiracy to
elect a president by appeal to every
Il racial prejudice, every real or mag,
mary personal grievance, every un.s
worthy motive existent in the land
has succeeded. The hyphenated
vote, the negro vote, the Stacker
vote, the profiteer vote, ignorant
vote, the selfish vote, and the party
before-country vote has won a
i great triumph.
ri Is safe to say that no intelli-
gent, patriotic republican is proud
Of the accomplishment, though he
Il may have helped it along. We
doubt II there is one who honestly
believes that the president elect
measures up to the responsibilities
], of the presidency or is qualified to
discharge the grave duties of the
who honestly approves the poll
cies which the president-elect
h stands for, if indeed there is one
who knows.
But that is all a minor matter
y to the senatorial ogilarchy which
plans to run this government after |
u March 4th next. What Mr.. Hard
II ing lacks in brains and will are to
i be supplied by Senator Penrose,
4 Senator Lodge and others of their
type. We are to have a rubber.
stamp president. The people voted
for change, and a mere figure.
head in the presidential chair is
b the fulfillment of their wishes as
expressed at the polls.
ION their merits as men and on
the issues of the campaign unaf-
fected by extraneous and diScred-
table factors capitalized by the re-
publican managers, Cox and Roose-
welt would have been victors. Their
defeat carries with it no sting of
disgrace. They fought nobly for
a great principle against tremend-
GUS odds. There is no dishonor in
their defeat and no cause for pride
ion the part Of the victors."
No self respecting citizen, regardless
OF party, can read the Foregoing deli,
erance without feeling a Ncontempt fo
the writer, because of the base an
false iutterances it contains. A goo
man can suffer defeat but can still n
main gentleman, but it is difficult fo
one who lacks character to conduc
himself as gentleman when his an
billions are thwarted.
We are surprised that in a commul
sity like Kiron that anyone should b
found, in a rage because the republica
party won the election. If -the write
OF the editorial has sufficient compr'
hension to grasp the situation he wi
discover that no better thing ever hal
Spened to the country than the electio
Of Mr.. Harding. The writer may M
appreciate 1t because he is so steepe
In prejudice and bigotry that he is III
able to see what is the best thing fc
the country.
We imagine the readers of his pape
are disgusted with this silly, vicious e,
hibition of temper which the article r.
fleets. The fact that Senator Harding
majority was so exceedingly lars
proves that the people We're almo.
Unanimous in his favor. Then to sa
the victory was due to racial prejudice
imaginary personal grievances and III
worthy motives and backed up by tn
shyphenated vote, the negro vote, tn
Stacker vote, the profiteer vote, the il
.norant vote, the selfish vote, the part,
before country vote, is certainly dom
an injustice to the millions upon mil
ions Of Intelligent voters who supper
ed the candidacy of Senator Harding
The attempted attack of ability an
character Of the president elect is al
swered by the hearty unanimous er
dorsement of the united republican pal
ty and the very large per cent of tn
brains and character of the democrat
OF the country.
We do not know what to suggest a
