THE CONSTITUTION

THIS is Constitution week. This
= fact, however, elicits but scant in
terest from the average citizen.
For one hundred thirty seven years
the Constitution has endured as the
great bulwark of American liberties.
Upon it as a foundation, the great
est nation of earth has been builded.
Yet among us little heed is given to
the method or manner of its making.
The heroic tales of the Revolution
airy period, the great and enduring
announcements of the Declaration of
Independence are common knowledge
of our people. They are known to
the man on the street and to the boy
and the girl in the school room. They
are emphasized and amplified in our
school histories and recounted and
retold at our firesides. But there is
one period in our nations history,
in fact it's most critical period, to
which too little emphasis, too little
thought, and too little attention is
given. That is the period immediate
ly following the victories of our arm

his candidacy marks new epoch in
the political life of the state. The
situation would have been no dir
ferent had the candidate been Tom
Smith, Walla Walla farmer, or Bill
Jones, Okanogan grocer. The signifi-
cant thing is that an ideal has pre-
vailed. Il.
Eight years ago Col. Hartley set
out to gain the governorship. He
consulted none as to the manner or
method of his going but went single
handed and alone. He did not take
counsel of the political bosses nor
follow the ways of political expe-
diency. He trampled upon political
traditions and ran counter to politi-
cal precedent. He refused to keep
silent when to speak meant the loss
of votes or to promise when to do Sd
meant the assurance of support. He
not only did not seek, but refused to
accept the endorsement of any class,
group, or organization. He avoided
all commitments as to whom, as gov
ernor, he would hire or fire. He
sought the ear of the man on the
farm, the worker in the shop, and
the banker at the desk with equal
earnestness and told them the same
story. He declared his loyalty to his
party and his belief in safe, sound,
conservative government. His only
promise to the people-and to all the
people alike-was that of simple SER
vice and record of honesty, honor
and achievement in his own business
as guarantee of that service. He
was defeated and championed the
candidacy of his successful opponent
with the same zeal he had shown in
his own.
Col. Hartley's campaign of four
years ago was a repetition of his
first one and that of this year
duplication of the other two save
that he finished first instead of Sec
ond.
There is no need to conjecture what
kind of governor. Hartley will be.
Hartley the candidate has proclaimed
Hartley the governor. Three sue
Gessive campaigns, each stronger
than the one before, most certainly
has revealed the man. He has en-
dured the calumnies of his enemies
without yielding. He has dealt with
the public, whether hostile or friend
ly, in a spirit of absolute fairness
and candor. In his repeated cam
paigns he has reversed himself IN
neither thought nor action nor had
to make apology for past perform
In each effort he has grown
in the confidence of the people. AS
he has proved his mettle
and his worth. AS governor he can
not fail.

Peach Exchange Plans
Nationwide Campaign
To Advertise Product

MACON, Ca, May 13.-Directors
of the Georgia Peach Growers eX-
change in session here practically ali
Of Yesterday voted almost unani-
mously to inaugurate a national adj
vertising campaign in behalf OF the
Georgia peach. Several advertising
firms in Florida and one Atlanta
firm was represented at the meet
ing. The Johnson-Dallis company,
of Atlanta, will handle the campaign,
it was stated by j. Il. BentonA presl'
dent of the exchange.
Other sections of the country are
producing peaches on larger scale
every year, and the Georgia sroW-
ers have been made to realize that
they must produce better fruit ana
give it more advertising than they
have in the past, if the ready sale of
the crop is to continue and top
prices are to be received.
h. E Conklin, Of the u. S. depart
ment of agriculture, also addressed
the growers on the necessity of thin
ming out the present crop. Most or
the trees are too full of peaches to
produce the quality of fruit desired,
he said. Many Bibb county grow
ers have already thinned our their
fruit and a number of the big or
chardists in the peach belt have
done the same thing.
While the May drop is not yet
over, it is believed that over 10000
cars of peaches will be produced in
Georgia this year. The latest re-
ports from the u. S. department Of
agriculture place the estimate at
over H. 900 cars.
