A Great Man Passes.

The fate that befalls all men sooner or later
has befallen another great American. Wood
row Wilson has passed on. And, as he told
those gathered about his bedside, he was
ready. His work had been done. He had
fought the fight, and had made his peace.
Now. for him, the unknown, the greatest OF
all adventures
It can be said of the former chief executive
that he was a man. He had his shortcomings,
as all men have theirs, but beside his contem-
poraries, he measured as giant. He was
an intellectual His was a power OF mind
that put him on a mountain top. He is gone;
his work remains He has left behind him
a structure of thought, understanding and
idealism that will profit his country and his
people more, perhaps in the future than it
profited them while he lived. For
Whilst an author is yet living we estl-
mate his powers by his worst performance,
and when he is dead we estimate them by
his best
It is not to say that history will be kind to
Woodrow Wilson; rather, let it be said that it
will be truthful. That guarantees his place
among great Americans While he lived
him, who followed him, said he would go
down in history as the greatest of presidents
Some who did not agree with him admitted
his greatness and acknowledged his power
Looking backward, one many see that he was
a man OF destiny. He lived at the right time,
although he had friends who believed he would
have been better appreciated by later genera
tons. Suffice it to say that he was here and
that, on the whole his career was as brilliant
a it was compelling Fearless and tenacious
in the extreme, he held to his cause unswerv-
ingiy. Right or wrong, he could always be
depended upon to do that which he felt should
be done
His conduct of the American effort on Eu-
ropes battle fields his conception of the peace
that should be made and his understanding of
the work of reconstruction after the struggle
was over-these have been and will be studied
and analysed at length by the American peo-
PIE in whose service he became martyr to
duty. History will proclaim for what he
was AT the moment the American people,
differences Of opinion forgotten and with the
memory of patriots service quickened by
death, bow their heads at his bier in tribute
to his thought and his work

Georgia and Cotton.
From the Savannah Press.

The boil Weevil in Georgia-that part of it
where the weevil at least came first into the
state-seems to be coming back as a cotton
producing center, OF course, not as much
of the staple is made as in the past, but there
is enough of it produced to show that the boil
weevl is not fatal to cotton when he is
handled intelligently and when a systematic
fight is made against him.
1t was in the southern section of the state
that the pest first made its appearance in
Georgia in such numbers as to cause alarm
and to produce the fear that cotton as a
money crop was entirely destroyed. But
the Georgia farmer does not give up quite so
easily as that He has been studying the
boil weevil problem with the help of the state
and nation and the figures of production for
this year show that the fight has been pretty
we'll whipped Here is the cotton produc-
ton for thirteen Georgia counties as shown in
the ginning reports up to December l. They
are the thirteen leading counties in cotton
production for the year: Carroll, 2167;
Burke, 21116; Bulloch, 1000; Franklin, r.,
106; Sumter, 1908; Laurens, HISS; Jeffer-
son, 1924; Emanuel, II ,597; Hart, 1086l
Terrell 1O623;; Jackson, 10,504; Screven, H.
go; Randolph, 10475 All other counties
in the state fall below 10000 bales in produc-
ton.
The significance of the reports from Wash
ngton is that the counties producing the
greatest number OF bales or cotton are not
confined to any special section of the state.
Carroll county, in northwest Georgia, leads the
state in cotton production, but Burke county,
in southeast Georgia, is a very close second.
Bulloch, neighborng county to Burke, IS
also well up in the list, as is Franklin county.
Hart county is also well up and so are Screven
and Randolph, one being in the southeast part
of the state and other in the southwestern
part OF the state.
So it would appear that all of Georgia can
still make cotton. And it can be made in
either wet weather or dry Portions OF the
state where the farmers said it was too dry
for good crops come forward with fine re-
suits for the year and other sections where the
cry was that it was too wet are just as pro-
ductive.
After all it would seem that the greatest
boil weevil preventive is combined in intelll-
gence hard work and fewer acres to the pillow.
The farmer who has learned that lesson and
who can hold his cotton for the proper mar
ket will get not only a crop but good prices,
too.

Ford Buys School House.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Henry Ford braves an assault by all his
hjgh-brow detractors as he buys the little
red school house" in which he studied during
his early years He has at various times
displayed an ignorance of historical and
other facts that compares favorably in size
to his fortune His purchase of the school
house is therefore equivalent to saying that he
is not dismayed by the criticisms that have
been 1eveled at him, but is, in fact, proud
of the source of his educational resources.
He may even imagine that he there learned
something more imortant than facts, and he
may attribute much of his success to the
habits of industry and perseverance there
formed But, at any rate, he is one grad
uate of a public school who retains per-
sonal interest in the particular structure
which he once fiequented Not all grad
yates of the public school system are anxious
or able to buy up institutions, but all of
them without exception have chance to
keep in personal touch with their old schools.
Henry Ford can spend money, but other
grown-ups can manifest their interest in less
spectacular but nevertheless effective fashion.

Mr.. Davis to The Fore.

John w. Davis, of West Virginia, is gener-
ally considered one of the biggest democrats
available for the presidential nomination. He
recently has appeared more in the foreground.
The latest boost for Mr.. Davis comes all the
way from Athens, Greece, where Henry Nor
genthau, former Ambassador to Turkey, an
nounced he would return to America and
take charge of his campaign as financial man
ager.
Just what Mr.. Morgenthau knows about
the situation at home would be necessary
information before putting the correct value
on what he has said. Naturally, since he
Is for Mr.. Davis he thinks he is the leading
candidate because he ought to be. That rule
does not always work out, however Mr..
Davis is powerful figure in the democratic
party He is a statesman whose qualities
are not doubted by his political opponents.
Ability, on the other hand, is not always the
thing on which politicians center their at
tention. Mr.. Davis might be superior to
other aspirants, and yet he hight not receive
the nomination at the convention. Others
might have an advantage as vote getters
Mr. Davis has been campaigning in an I'M
ObStruSIVe way Tor sometime WITHOUT uSelal
ing himself an out and out candidate he
* the kind of a man who would prefer that
the democrats offer the nomination to him
That cannot be said OF some others who are
after the nomination red hot. The one is
waiting and the others are seeking.
Five planks were suggested in Philadel-
phia address by Mr.. Davis, who spoke before
a regional conference of democratic women.
He put them as follows:
To cut the expenses Of the government
generally.
To avoid increase in taxation by avoid
ing new expenses of the government, no
matter under what pleasant form or
name"
To support the budgetmaking power OF
the government.
To revise the tariff on a competitive
basis.
To reduce the income tax rates for the
benefit of all classes.
This indicates that Mr. Davis, although he
may greatly desire the honor of leading the
democratic party in the next presidential cleo
ton. prefers to express himself quietly, which
is quite different from some others, who con-
stant1y seek popular approval by endorsing
policies calculated to stir the public pulse.

THE POOR
By Carl Sandburg.)

Among the mountains wandered
and saw the blue haze and red crag
and was amazed;
On the beach where the long push
under the endless tide maneuvers, l
stood siiept:
Under the stars on the prairie
watching the Dipper slant over the
horizons grass, I was full Of
thoughts.
Great men, pageants Of war and
labor, soldiers and workers, mothers
lifting their children-these all /
touched, and felt the solemn thrill
of them.
And then one day got a true
look at the Poor, millions Of the Poor,
patient and toiling; mare vat Eat
than crags, tides, and stars; innum-
cradle, patient as the darkness Of
night-all broken, humble ruins of
nations.
