our trade and our interests by force
If we abandon the league for peace
that course alone remains for us
Respect by force alone remains for
the other nations OF the world. When
they do not join us and we fail to
join them in disarmaments and demo
bilization, then they must array them
selves against us and we against
them in preparation for war!
In the league they pledge not to pre-
pare for war, not to permit a national
boundary to be broken, not to permit
a superior to impose on an inferior
power. The league assumes supreme
right to determine international dis
putes. One nation cannot have cut a
grievance with another. 1t must be
taken toAcourt and settled without
blows-settled in a tribunal the world
has set up for that purpose. With
the league in force, is there any good
cause for war? Is it practical or
sensible to join?

great nation whose underlying
principles of government are the
rights of the individual, free and un
trammeled. Both have their rights
to he protected.
Many vital changes are occurring
in these days of reconstruction
Prices for the necessities of life are
mounting higher and higher all the
time. No government power has sue
ceeding in alIaying this evil, but il
will be checked soon. No one need
assume that the laboring man will
long be hampered by this evil. The
day is neah when a remedy will be
found. Nature, if no other force, is
providing it in an oversupply as fast
as time can fly.
The labor leaders have rightly as
sumed that the days wage has gone
high enough Their complaint is
against the enormous prices which
make it impossible to supply the food
needs and family necessities with the
high wage. Their argument Is
against rise, not for it. And they
deserve to be credited with the right
thinging when they try to herge
against it.
Their trial of the new railroad law
will give more opportunity to fight liv-
ing costs. If relief comes in that di-
rection, they have won victory for
themselves not in larger dema is, but
it patient, wise, and helpful c0opera-
tion while the changes are taking
place and reconstruction brings us
nearer normal.

LAeoR's SENSIBLE STAND.

Union labor has done the wise
thing in pledging fair trial for the
new, railroad law. Good or bad, it has
| the sanction of the government. 1t
bears the signature of the nations
chief executive 1t was made a law
in the regular course, after long hours
of study and delving into the many
problems with which the country and
all the millions of people representing
the public were concerned. 1t was
shaped, too, in it's present form with
its authors fully aware of the condi-
.tion OF labor everywhere. The rail
road law was not an accident 1t was
not a mushroom product. 1t came the
way of all reforms-through the hard
knocks of criticism and fight at every
stage. 1t is worth trying out
Union labor is an element whose
rights cannot be overridden and ig
nored. Those who stand for those
rights as the spoksmen of the working
man may have that thing in mind
when they accept program which
admits trial of the new rail law.
We believe the rail labor leaders are
as sure as we are that they will al
ways be able to make a showing when
they come with a strong fight in a
Just cause. Their decision to try the
new law-give it fair opportunity
will make the railroad unions many
times stronger in the eyes of the pub
lie. That decision will place labor
on a much higher ground for making
claims in the future, if those claims
have to be made in the name of the
working man.
The public is not opposed to hear
ing claims of the working man. He
is an element as surely entitled to
his rights as any other element. Cap
ital has no rights superior to the
rights of the laboring man. This is

TAKE HOOVER AND WIN

Still they fight for Hoover i
Georgia! At this stage the contest j
highly, intensely, dramatically intel
esting. The name of Herbert Hoove
is pretty well on everybody's lip from
the little boy who engages in reading
his comic and his story book, on VI
to those who go into the profount
columns of the stuff that makes ant
unmakes statesmen and great leaders
Herewith is presented view whicl
has been taken by the splendid think
er, Dr.. Ashby Jones of Atlanta OF
the matter of his right to vote fol
Herbert. Hoover:
The name of Mr.. Hoover in
the present controversy over the
presidential primary is a mere in
cident, 1t might be the name of
Mr.. Anybody-else and the priciple
involved would be the same, The
state Democratic committee has
attempted no cloud the issue by
raising the question whether Mr..
Hoover has a right to be cand-
date at Democratic primary.
The right of Mn Hoover to be a
candidate is not and never has
been the issue Neither Mr.. Hoov-
er nor the people of Georgia
have ever raised that question
The issue is not the right of any
candidate; but far more :acred
and fundamental right is in con-
troversy, and that is the right of
the individual Democrat to vote
for whom he pleases. If we con-
cede the authority to the state
committee to say that no one but
Democrat can be voted for at
the coming primary. then we give
the power to this same group of
men to define who are Democrats.
Who cannot see that such power
would be limitless in Georgia,
for they would be enabled TO alb
solutely limit and control the
Georgia electorate.
The principle is so much bigger
The Cordele dispatch., 1920-03-04

The enemies of the president who
charged him with forsaking party in
the appointment of a secretary of
state ought to remember Walter @
Gresham in the Cleveland cabinet.
They ought to refresh their minds
regarding the Roosevelt and the Taft
appointments which included some of
the ablest democrats in the country.

THE PRACTICAL SIDE

When the many-sided idealism il
j the peace treaty and the league o.
nations is thoroughly sifted and those
who say there is nothing but a hazy
| Iidealism to be found have thought
again about it, they will have to ad
nit that some of the principles are
practical-bald, open-faced, mistaken
The billions in money which will nave
to come from the pockets of the tax
payers of this nation to maintain a
great navy great army, such as
will be required to make the unre
strained nations OF the world respect
us and our trade rights in every sea
and every center,-the money needed
will be appalling.
That respect in spite of money
must be maintained. You cannot deny
that. The dignity of he American
flag cannot go trampled and besmir.
ched. You are red-blooded and you
will not permit it. That's your nature
your disposition, characteristic
liorn in you and inherited by you
from those who laid the foundations
Of this government. You have no ar
gument against that disposition to
fight for national rights in the world.
There is none. The pride of your
young manhood in that right made
them the best fighters on the great
war front. 1t made them the best sol
diers the world has ever known!
The peace treaty is written to pre-.
clude war and permit these men to
live a citizens life-the life they lived

c!ude the possibility of turning this
country into military camps and the
nations great revenues into steel
armor plate and heavy cannon to
patrol the seas where we carry our
trade to other men and nations.
The league marshals our forces,
when they are marshaled, to prvent
wars, not to promote wars. 1t like
wise marshals the forces of other ma
tions to prevent wars. 1t does not
permit a nation to marshal its forces
to promote war 1t does not tolerate
undue preparation for war. 1t guards
every boundary in peace-spends its
energy and its money for peace.
When you have studied that sched
ule, you will find it cheaper than any
other kind, Any other agreement, or
the lack of it, will require great ar
mics standing ready. great navies
standing ready for any emergency
These will mean the expenditure of
billions in money. The cost of the
world war has seemed to us enormous
hat it fades in comparison with what
we must spend to keep pace with the
nations when we start out to maintain
world respect for our flag, our ships,

ROAD BUILDING EQUIPMENT FROM
 { WAR DEPARTMENT SURPLUS

Albuquerque, N. M, May 12.-Road building programs in the Southwest, state and federal, have been given an- other impetus through the passage of the Kahn Bill and it's approval by the president. Provision is made for the transfer to the Department of Agri- culture and the various states of all surplus road building equipment now held by the War Department which can be put to practical use by the various road buildinH agencies. A vast array of equipment of every inn aginab1e use for this purpose. is spe- officially mentioned in the bill running the gamut from wheelbarrows to in- dustrial railway equipment. Included is also a provision for transfer of ex- cess motor equipment which in turn can be assigned by the state highway departments to any state agency or municipal corporation for constructing and maintaining public highways. The
 forest service comes in for clause in the bill in which provision is made
 for the transfer of surplus telephone
 supplies to that Service. District Forester Pooler of Albuquerque, points out tue lU6IelIS IIldI w III accrue III LII respect to the 263O miles of telephone lines owned and maintained on the national forests of Arizona and New Mexico by the government. Funds have always been limited for this work, even though many isolated re
 gions of the mountains of this section i depend solely upon forest service lines
 for communication with the outside i world.
 | Granting recognition and assistance to this activity of the Service in the | bill is particularly gratifying as the ! lines, though primarily for fire protec i tion and forest administration, are al
