The advocates Of third party are
more Convinced than ever since the
democratic convention closed that
third party is necessary for the pre-
ssrvscion of the union and for the pur-
pose Of trying 70 get some more snx-
ious Office holders into power. Accord
ing 10 a statement issued last night
by Howard Williams, vice chairman
Of the committee Of fory-eight,
which has called convention in Chi
cago to meet July 10 to Ia for the or
xanization of new party and the 80
lection of candidates for president and
vice-president of the United States.
Regarding the republican national
convention Mr.. Williams says: "The
republican convention adopted a re-
dictionary platform and selected a
typical old guard candidate The peo-
pie expected relief from the democra-
tic convention and again their hopes
are shattered. False issues were Gre
ated. Real issues, those of concern
to average people, were disregarded
Intentionally. A colorless candidate
of the conventional type was selected
finally by worn out delegates"
Then he turns his batteries on the
result Of the democratic convention
and says:
I'm the democratic convention, as
in the republican, everything that
savoured Of liberalism was stifled
There is nothing to choose between
either party. Both are bankrupt of
democratic purpose.
"The people of the United States
now demand genuine opposition
party. They demand a new party
which will regard sincerely the in
tentions of the voters, a party which
offers a constructive program and
which assures relief from the tyran.
ny of the two party system Such
a party will be organized; now is
the time"

The most righteous Fargo Courier
News facetiously editoralizes this
morning and says the result of the
late primary is rebuke to political
treachery, Shiny politics, ETC., etc.
And while this pure minded editor is
so scathingly roasting the other fellow
about thcs beam that is in his eye he
overlooks entirely the beam that ap-
pears to be obstructing the view Of his
own eye, so he very nicely overlooks
the fact that league politicians used
blanket stickers in the western coun-
ties Of the state and broke the laws Of
the state by peddling these blanket
stickers right near to the polling
booths. That bird who pushes the edi-
torial quill on the c. \. is noun
ment Of gall, egor;snl and political
blindness al combined and should be
awarded a leather medal for valiant
service rendered in behalf of question
able politics TO further the cause Of
red state socialism.

The Courier News yesterday said
the result of the second congressional
nomination was in doubt. Today it
says that Young is probably nomin-
ated. BY the end of the week it may
possibly admit that Mr.. Young has
been nominated. The real facts in
the case that Mr.. Young his car
ried twelve counties out of the nine
teen in his district and last night had
over 1900 majority. There are few
precincts yet unreported but when the
official count has been made Mr..
Young will have about $500 to his Gre
dit. Taking into consideration that
Gov. Frazier carried the second dis
trict by over 5000 Mr.. Young ran
away ahead Of his ticket which shows
that the people recognize good service
in a congressman who has been Civ
ing them good and efficient service in

There have been many inquiries as
to whether or not the democrats poll

have plenty and to spare. Tom Hall

Since last Wednesday there has
been a wonderful change Of sentiment
in the state politically. Thousands OF
republicans have been turned into
democrats and as result the fall cleo
ton looms up rather strong for the
democratic state ticket. There Will oe
some little fight for the governorshlp
this fall, take it from US.

The democrats at San Francisco
have nominated very excellent tick
ct. With Gov. J. NJ. Cox, of Ohio,
nominated as a presidential candidate
and Franklin D. Roosevelt as a candl-
date for the vice-presidency, the con.
vention showed remarkably good
Judgment. They are both able men
the only objection we have to them is
the fact that they are democrats and
we have had enough Of democracy for
the past few years and feel that
change would be beneficial to the gov
eminent. 1t is safe for anyone to bet,
however, that the next president will
come from Ohio, also that the next
president will be a newspaper man.
The newspaper mems stock is going
up and the Times-Record editor is
feeling much encouraged thereat.

A Unique Bond Issue.

ISSUE winch had not first been duly authorized bv a
majority of it's voters
Voters are sometimes obstinate creatures and ro

poses, but SO far the voters are concerned they
dld not get chance to turn down this issue and
II we have new mayor and council every two
years for the next ten years. each will have to take
It's turn IN 'producing' annually sum of money
ranging from $65OO00 to $4,000 to pay off the
above mentioned ''bond issue
Perhaps we had better be little more explicit
about this bond ISSUE for few of our readers NAV
know anything of its existence. We refer to the
consent verdict taken in court here last week bv
Boston, Mass, bank against the City of Marietta
for $42OOOOO
The $42OOOOO is the balance due of $48OOOOO
borrowed by the mayor and council nearly three
years ago. and does not the 48 900 90 of notes
given Scarboro year later and which are also being
sued by New York bank
If the city loses that suit it will certainly REQUIRE
another consent verdict bond issue which will
require ten or twenty years to pay off
Don t sound very encouraging, does it? But if
is plain statement of fact and we see no reason
why the people should not have the facts all the
time about their own business. Under the terms
OF the consent verdict to which we refer as a
bond ISSUE the order of the court is that the city
pay 100000 of the principal and all of the accrued
interest each year until the debt is liquidated
The present mayor, in behalf of the city. consents
to this, and thus binds future mayors and councils

attention to the fact that it is bond issue that cot

Making Early Plans.

Mr. Harding, recently elected president by very
large vote, and who will begin his term of office on
the fourth of next March, is reported to be already
making plans for great many things to come under
his administration next year
If we believe his prediction statements made in
public speech, he then comforting with
agents of France with reference to changes to be
made in the league of nations and certainly he did
give prominent business of his political party
letters of introduction which said business man
used to make it appear that he was the personal
representative OF the incoming administration in
order to put through deal with the Bolshevis gov
eminent for a syndicate of his associates
Now we have Mr.. Harding down in Panama and
If recent dispatches true he is going over the
zone on sort of official inspection and must be
alking pretty freely about his future plans No
doubt he contemplates some very great changes.
The reports have it that he will very heavily forfy
the canal with numerous heavy guns, and will in
crease our military force down there from five thou
sand to fifty thousand men,
The muniton makers who so unanimously and
generously supported his recent campaign must be
in hurry to get busy again at the making of pow
der and cannon, and Mr. Harding seems Just as
anxious to let them know that they will get the
business.
However, if there should be no league of nations
to guarantee the peace of the world the Panama
Canal increase in national military and naval
burden will be just drop in the bucket We,
have thousands of miles of unprotected coast and
numerous coast cities that must in time be pro-
tected from possible invasion of some ambitious
world power that may have thousands of L boats
and countless aircraft with which to attack us
We, of course must have the same or better to-
meet them. We must keep on building every sort
Of war craft for land and air, and sea- and we must
under all and every circumstance ''be prepared .
Iou remember that one of the great faults of the
democratic administration was that it was ''unpre-
pared at least that was the way the republicans
put 1t, and there We're numbers of democrats who
were ready to believe and repeat it.
Now don't think for an instant that the next adj
ministration is going to be ''unprepared' so long
as there are good republican families like the Du
Points in the munition business and so long as good
the faithful U. ). Senate can own and operate an
administration with the power to raise money or
issue bonds to pay for said munitions
| Far be it from us to complain of this however
for did not large majority of the voters of our
country choose to make the republican party the
guardian of our national welfare and honor for the
next four years? And are they not ready and will
ing to stand for all the bond issues and taxes which
the experience and ingenuity of said party can de-
wise? They have only to continue to discover and
point out the errors and extravagances of Mr. Will
son while they go down deep into the pocket of the
people.

YOUNG HIGHWAYMEN.

In recent months young men rang
ing in age from sixteen to thirty
years Of age have been in the lime
light as bold highwaymen, robbers
thieves and murderers.
Daily newspapers are filled with
stories concerning crime committed
in which young men were the princi-
pals; and the newspapers, though we'll
filled with such stories, do not publish
one-tenth of the crime news of the
state or country.
What are the causes for the ten
dency manifested by so many young
men who have been reared in an age
that teaches the very ontithesis of
the kind of life so many are leading?
1t is battling question. There are
divers agencies such, as the church,
the Y. NJ. c.. A., colleges, schools,
clubs and societies which throw safe
guards around young men in these
days and times, but in spite of such
bulwarks of protection, it seems that
the tendency to go wrong is very
strong.
At the present rate at which crime
is increasing among young men of
Georgia and of the nation what will
the future be?-Commerce Observer.

WE'RE ALL RIGHT.

There have been worse times than
these, and no one in these parts has
starved to death, or been manhandled
because of the depression. True,
cotton is too cheap, the price being
completely out of line with those OF
other important commodities. The
experts say the prices will go up.
We do not know.
There is, no market for hides, and
yet shoes remain at sky high prices.
1t is some consolation, however, to
note that $500 shoes are being mark
ed down from $4,000 to $500 per
pair. The tendency is in the right
direction.
Beef on foot is being sold for from
3 IL to A cents a pound. A steak
can be bought for probably 40 cents
a pound. Hogs are being-quoted at
the lowest prices since 1918, while
breakfast bacon is selling for as high
as 70 cents per pound
After awhile these matters will ad-
just themselves. The best way to
help is to work, and attend strictly to
business. And attending to ones
own business is not without merit.
Standing around and "cussing" out
Harding and wondering how and
where Tom Watson gets his liquor
and how much he pays for it, won't
increase the price of cotton, hogs and
cattle, or decrease the price of beef,
bacon or shoes.
Economy and thrift are good watch
words. Waste and extravaganza are
ruinous, even in prosperous times, and
in times of strigency are impossible
if the poorhouse is to be escaped.
Buying what one doesn't need on
credit is an American habit that
should be sloughed off. In fact, the
entire credit system is bad, and is the
mother of serious ills, but American
business is so enmeshed in it that it
is rot likely to be abandoned either
now or soon.
In the large centers thousands are
out of employment. In Patterson,
N. j., alone 10000 silk mill opera
tives are without jobs, and several of
the silk mills are in the hands Of
receivers.
We are not really bad off in this
section. Most of our farmers are of
the better kind and are far too wise
to put all their eggs in one basket.
They have something besides cotton
in their bins, cribs and pens. They
have wheat, corn, hogs and poultry.
They have cows, and plenty of milk
and butter.
The next few years are not going
to be fat, juicy ones like we are now
used to, so it is better to begin at
once the practice of economy and
thrift, so necessary to the we'll being
of a people, no matter what the eco
nomic conditions may be.-The Dali
ton Citizen.
