Water rushed into the hugh space
and endangered the lives of two-score
workers. The explosion threw a Nj

These tunnel workers are called
"sandhogs." They work under high

"bends" besides the constant danger

In addition to the unusual number

The United States is represented by
Dorothy Mackaill, who, though Brit

ton. Conway Tearle, Lon CLANCY and
Louise Dresser are also Americans.
Ricardo Cortez, Spanish born, takes
the role matching his own nationality,
that of young Spanish nobleman.
All the aforementioned appear in fea-
tured roles in the production.
Australia is represented in the cast
by Dorothy Cumming. She is seen as
the erstwhile favorite of Spanish no
bleman, beau of Paris, who uses her
to hoodwink the fascinating American
with whom he is madly in love.
A typically continental type is in
troduced in the picture in the person of
Rema Radizna, who was born in Mos
dow, Russia. She is cast as a coun-
tess, whose chateau near the French
capital is the scene of ultra-fashion-

FORWARD

Machinery and science have
worked such magic on the farm that
866 bushels of wheat are now
grown on the same acreage that
grew only SAB bushels in 1850.
These are average figures for the
whole country.
Machinery has increased pgolal-
ton even more, in cities.
In the last analysis, is the farmer
much better off than his ancestor Of
the days before the Civil War? Or
the city man? The answer depends
on how you define happiness. If
money and material possessions are
the measures, machinery has
brought progress. The price in char
acter development and wholesome
enjoyment of life-that price is
fearfully high.

POLITICS NOT TO BLAME

Not the least deplorable re-
suit Of such scandals as that now
being spread before the country
is the disrepute into which every
thing we put under the head of
politics is brought. One reason
we fare so poorly in the caliber
of public servants is the wide
spread belief that there is some
thing inherently rotten in poll
ties. Many good men avoid poll
tice as though it were mahgant
malady that contaminated every
one touched by it.
Both parties suffer from seam
dals, not because parties are cor
rupt, but because there are
corrupt men in both parties This
has been proved over and over
again. Yet every sensational ex-
pose of corruption in public of
ficG is followed by a cry of Put
the rascals out" The only way
this can be done, when misguided
partisans defend those who fall
by the way, is for voters to turn
to the party in opposition. That
is why no lasting good comes
from the kind of housekeeping
in which we periodically engage.
The trouble is not with poll
tics. There is no business or
profession that is free from cor
rupt members. Yet the dishon-
esty of few men is not enough
to bring a whole profession or a
branch of business into disrepute.
And scandals in business and in
the professionals do not keep
good men from entering those
fields of endeavor. Scandals in
politics should not be permitted
to weaken faith, in popular gov
eminent and should not keep
good men out of politics. Sean
dals only demonstrate the need
for good men in the political
arena.-Brooklyn Eagle.

FEMININE

The four greatest American writ
ers of fiction are all women, claims
VILLAIN Allen White. He lists these
top-notchers. Villa Gather, Edna
Ferber, Zona Gale and Dorothy
Garfield.
Here's room for more argument
than Teapot Dome. But White IS
close to this broad truth. Fiction
writing is getting to be a woman's
game in America. This is due, not
to feminine literary supremacy, but
to women's willingness and ability
to write the wind of stuff editors
want. Naturally, the ablest male
writer's drift into advertising jobs
or become press agents. The best
written Part of the average maya
zine is the ad pages.

Tribute To Wilson

The Democratic National
committee has paid beautiful
and well deserved tribute to the
late Woodrow Wilson. 1t is a
tribute that his party can pay
him without bubble or apology,
and is as follows:
Woodrow Wilson'S democracy
was world wide. He had a pas
sion, like a divine fire, for Lib
erty, for Justice and for Peace.
In the war to end war, he saw, in
his own words the light of heav-
en- on his blade. Great in lead
ership, great in character, great
in intellect, his chief greatness
was his sublime idealism. as
manifested in his efforts to bring
lasting peace to the world. His
monument is in Geneva. His
earthly resting place is in a great
national cathedral in Washington.
His immortal fame is in human
hearts throughout the world to-
day as it will be in the hearts of
endless generations yet unborn"

Mr.. BRYAN WILL TELL

Now it seems Mr.. Bryan is
brazenly coming into Alabama to
spread poison against this States
outstanding son, and make
speeches against Senator Under
wood. q ass al l4
He will not convince many PER
sons. The people of Alabama do
not need an oft-defeated politici-
from Nebraska, although now

tell them how to vote Especial
ly when the people of Alabama
understand the background: that
Bryan is thereby gratifying his
spite and grudge against Senator
Underwood, and hoping that he
may muddy the waters and get 2

will be handed over to him to
vote for his own benefit at the
New York convention. There are
abundant evidences that if Mus
grove has any preference at all it
is Bryan, although some of
the Musgrovn loaders were con-
spicuous at the McAdoo meeting.
Mr. BRYAN is not bound by the
ordinary laws of fair campaign

The County Campaign

The clean, gentlemanly cam
paign being waged by those Of
fering for county office in Sum-
ter is a wholesome sign. 1t por-
tends no ugly wounds after cleo
ton day.
For practically every office
there are two or more men in the
race, and yet not one word of
ugly criticism has been heard
from one candidate against an
other.
This would seem to indicate
an advancement in the body po-
lite. Men and women no long
er desire to vote for the mud
singer, the character assassin,
the bully who seeks to ride into
office over the good name of
another.
Each candidate is waging an
earnest and sincere campaign,
setting forth his qualifications
and ambitions.
The very least that the men
and women of Sumter can do
is to register and vote on March
l9 as an appreciation for the
high standard of manhood re.
Elected by Sumter candidates.
This Same thing has been
marked in many other counties
in Southwest Georgia this year.
There has been an almost com
plete lack of "old-time'' poll
tics in the various county races.
The Dawson News says of Ter
rell county's campaign: z.
There is a larger number Of
candidates in Terrell county than
in many years before, and not
outstanding the earnestness with
which the numerous aspirants are
pressing their claims upon the
voters it is, perhaps the quietest
and best natured campaign ever
known in a contest for local Of
fees. The candidates are doing
the very commendable thing of
depending on their respective
merits to gain the votes of the
citizens of the county, and when
the election is over there will
be no animosities to bury or sores
to heal. False reports and late
hour schemes have gone out of
fashion in Terrell county politics,
and the candidate who resorted
to such methods would injure
his own cause.
No matter what the result may
be on March 10th the county will
be assured of splendid officials.
Sumter county is already as
sured of a clean and wholesome
government by reason of the
splendid character of its candi-
dates.
