Couples Were Close Friends.
The two young men have been
close pals and chums since early
boyhood and their sweethearts have
been intimate friends since high
school associations. The couples
spent much of their time together
during the last few months and 1t
was during this period that they hit
upon the scheme of fighting the H.
c. of L. by establishing themselves
in single cottage and dividing ex-
penses. II
A similar economy will result
from their sensible plan of spending
their honeymoon together. Their
destination was kept a secret from
their friends and relatives, but they
announced their intention of making
their honeymoon as simple and in
expensive as possible. Upon their
return they will make their home at

lighted a cigarette and watched the

sage, ability, efficiency, fidelity
and all other qualities determine the
rank OF man year after year at
West Point and his standing in the
army when he graduates from West
Point; but from that time on all ef-
forts to find which man is best or
worst and reward or punish him ac-
cordingly is abandoned; no bril-
liancy, no amount of hard work,
no eagerness in the performance of
duty can advance him and no Slack
ness or indifference that falls short
Of court martial offense can retard

Pershing Prospects Good.
Then he uses the Pershing case to
justify his recommendation for cor
receive legislation in the best Roose-
veltian style:
Moreover, when a man renders
such service as Captain Pershing
rendered last spring in the Moro
campaign. it ought to be possible
to reward him without at once jump
ing him to the grade of brigadier
general"
And speaking of General Pershing
and the campaign now in progress
to draft him as republican presi-
dental candidate, William r. War
ner of Colorado, speaking of politics
n the Centennial state, says in the
Washington Post this morning:
Colorado hasn't made up its
mind as to whom it will favor for
president, either republican or demo.
cratic. There has been lot of ac-
tivity on the part of 'adherents of
General Wood and of Governor
Lowden. They were early at work
in the state, and there Are Wood
clubs and Lowden clubs in different
parts of the state. But this does
not mean that the state is for either
Wood or Lowden. Indeed, if one
is to judge from the opinions ex-
pressed casually by republicans in
various parts of Colorado the voters
haven't any choice. They are wait
ing to be shown.
; general Wood is we'll known in
the state and so is Governor Low
den. For that matter, so are other
candidates. Senator Harding made
strong impression when he visited
Colorado and General Pershing is
probably better known than any
other man. The apparent impression
that Pershing is not popular with
the soldiers who served overseas, l
find, is entirely erroneous. The men
of the expeditionary forces who
fought in France and who had op-
portunity to meet Pershing as COM
mander or otherwise have nothing
but praise for him. / don't know
whether General Pershing has any
political aspiration, but if he has,
then, in my opinion, he has the edge
on lot of other fellows who are
looking toward the White House"

closing a clipping from the Wash

terror motives to the senator in

motion, wrote the senior senator
as follows:

Dear Senator Warren: 1t does

in question is capable of miseon-

its context or not. Your son-in-law

forgotten that he was your son-in-
law until l received your letter.

whether he was married to your
daughter or engaged to her at the
time he won the victory, because
of which, I promoted him. My I'M
preston is that he was not yet
married to her. In, any event the
promotion was made purely on the
merits, and unless I am mistaken,
you never spoke to me on the sub
ject until / had announced that he
was to be promoted. The article
that you enclosed from the Wash
ington Herald is a tissue of mali
cious falsehoods. 1t is not case of
a man writing under an erroneous
impression, it is a case of man
being guilty of malicious and will
full untruth. Faithfully yours,
In postscript to the letter the

LACK OF ORGANIZATION.

We contend that in order for
the citizens of our town to have
any success fighting fires which
occasionally visit our midsts. all
the paraphernalia belonging to

place.
There seems to be a sad need
of reorganization in the system
now in vogue with the Vjdalia

have been one of the most, dis
astrous fires of many years, was
finally conquered by tie valiant
work of many VidaAa citizens
Thursday night, when three
buildings opposite 6the Vidalia
Oil & Ice Co., Miltin the lower
part of town wereA Destroyed,
When the alarn was Sounded,
the people. like sheep, ran pell
nell over each other to get there,
when a little organization would
have put them there all the
sooner and the reels, nozzles,
wrenches, etc. necessary to get
ting the water turned on the fire
would have been properly locked
after. 8.
Why don't they throw away
some of the no account wrenches
that won't fit the fire plugs; buy
q few proper size nozzles to fiji
the hose, and have a wrence that
will fit, chaited t0each fire plug !
At every frB, the same conster-
nation" he wrench won't fit, y
or THE hose is the wrong
size, and the fire is raging ali
the while.
