Georgia and Nebraska.

The claim that the issue in both
Georgia and Nebraska was the admin
istration, with special reference to the
peace treaty, and that the admins.
tration won, is not supported by the
returns.
Take Georgia. The state convention
which will be held next month, will
contain 1856 members. OF this number
Attorney General Palmer, who stood
in the primary for the administration
will control 142, while Senator Smith
and "Tom" Watson, both classed as
anti-administration, will, between
them, control 242.
But. as We all know, local issues and
controversies entered strongly into the
equation.
Take Nebraska. Practically. Mr.
Hitchcock had no opposition in his
campaign for presidential instructions
The fight was on Mr.. Bryan; and il
was based, not on the peace treaty
but on the enforcement and preserva.
tion Of the eighteenth amendment
If Mr.. Bryan has wen, prohibition, and
not his advocacy of the ratification Of
the peace treaty with reservations, ex
plains his triumph. Dry Influences
outside the state "pullsd" for, and out
side wet influences pulled" against
him. At San Francisco he will be thu
recognized leader of the dry forces
and may not have time to participate
in any contest over the terms in whicl
the peace treaty should appear in th'
platform.
These two primaries throw little, i
any, light on San Francisco. Wha
will take place at the national eonven
ton is still on the knees Of the gods.

The Sullivan Organization.

1t will not be an easy matter to hold
the Sullivan organization in Chicago
together for as effective work as it
performed under its late chief He
understood it thoroughly-wasb both in
aud of it-knew how to get the utm ost
out Of it in campaign. Such IN or
ganization possible only in large
city-is composed OF elements not fus-
ible by the ordinary political leader,
or even by a leader of supeIior gifts
more familiar with handling men of a
different sort.
The Tammany organization fur
nishes an illustration. 1t has always
been most successful when led by .
man who best understood and stood
closest to the rank and file. At an
earlier time Fernando Wood and John
men of grade-man
aged the affairs of Tammany with a
fair degree of success; but under the
leadership of neither did the organi-
cation score as it has since done, first
under Richard Croker, and then under
Charles F. Murphy. OF late years it
has become state quantity-in dec
ade furnishing three governors, Dix,
Sulzer and the present governor. Mr..
Croker was, and Mr.. Murphy is, more
at home in the wigwam than Mr.. Wood
and Mr.. Kelly were.
Now and then there is talk about
Mr.. Murphy If that talk
ever natures, the new leader, to make
good. will have to be familiar, as Mr..
Murphy is, with what may be called
Tammany nature. To lead successful
ly, he must stand very near to his
followers.
This will be the case in Chicago. If
the Sullivan organization is to sur
vive and do the work expected of it..
the new leader must resemble the old
in all that goes to give understanding
of the rank and file and impart the
feeling of fellowship. In q word, he
must know his men and stand close to
them, as Mr.. Sullivan did.

Rejects the Overall Plan.

Gov. Beckett OF North Carolina re-
fuses to join an overall club. saying
that there is positive harm in such a
movement designed to bring down the
price of clothing. 1t will, he urges, run
the price Of overalls up to figure that
cannot be paid by those who of neees
sity must wear them. His own plan to
reduce the cost of clothing is as fol
lows:
II would agree not to pay more than
IS for hat. You can get decent hat
for that sum. l would agree not to pay
more than $3.50 for pair Of shoes, nor
more than 50 for shirt. $40 for suit
of clothes. so cents for a pair of socks
and 20 cents for collar. So long as
people are willing to pay any price for
the things they want and are not will
ing to practice self-denial all talk
about cutting down the high cost of
living is sabble."
This is sound doctrine. What is
mainly needed today to bring down the
prices is community agreement upon a
maximum rate that the consumers will
pay and adherence to that scale. It is
net necessary to wear overa,ls or any
other spectacular costume in order to
accomplish this result. Already in
those places where the overall idea has
been adopted those garments have, as
Gov. Beckett says, been advanced in
price. If the purveyors of clothing are
charging extortionate rates concen-
trated self-denial will pull the prices
down faster than any shift to a par
|tieular line of wear.

The Big Story.

The Big Story.
We have heard some dire prediction.
That never quite came true;
We have listened to the fictions
That the gloomy prophets brew;
We have seen the quest Of glory
Through the terrors Of the past;
But we always found the story
Had happy end at last.
We have felt our nerves a-quiver
In some sympathetic strain;
We have been compelled to shiver
In our intellectual pain.
But this life 10 worth enduring
Though the stress is oft intense,
And the story's more alluring
For its moments Of suspense.

been the home of the Rev. Lee Mas

and soon a little road turned to the
right and wandered off into the for

way. Coming down the main road
was a horse pulling a buggy and be-

young lady at his side.

And SO the Rambler logged along
behind the horse and buggy, the
young man and the girl.
There was a group around the

ed refreshing. For these are other
