New Leaders Demanded.

Senator Ralston of Indiana, has fired a
broadside in friendly enough spirit at the
factions in the democratic party that have
been holding it back In speech in Chica-
90 he demanded that the old leaders of the
party should step down and out, permitting
new ones to come forward. He also demands
that the democrats pull themselves together,
marshal their forces" and carry on.
1t will be recalled that Senator Ralston
withdrew his name at the democratic con-
vention in New York last June at time
when he was leading in the balloting for the
presidential nomination. He had personal
reasons for withdrawing which were an
nounced at that time. He now calls upon
democrats everywhere to take inventory OF
their organization, ascertaining what the ills
of the party are in order to save it as ma
tona1 necessity in government.
Senator Ralston has no doubt as to the tu-
ture OF the democratic party, He believes it
will live, mot because OF many OF its social
ed leaders but in spite of them" He then
calls for new leaders, for he is convinced that
the party "can be crippled from within He
does not think however, that it can be killed
"even from within" and that belief is based
on his hope that new leaders may be found
who will put an end to the factions that have
sprung up and which have been recognized
as the malevoent factors Of the party's pres
ent weakened condition.
No one has to guess at Senator Ralston's
meaning. He mentioned no names in his
speech. 1t was unnecessary. Everyone is Ia
- 4La
in the democratic party and OF the leaders
thereof These factions, OF course, are the
two that split the party last June, and al
though each yielded in the end and agreed to
the nomination OF John w. Davis, demo-
crat neither against the one nor the other,
the damage to the party had been done and
it was impossible to repair It Beyond the
possibility of doubt the democratic nomi-
nee for the presidency would have made
better race if the New York quarrel never
had developed There is always vast num-
Der OF voters in every presidential election
in control of the balance between the two
major parties. These are independent cti-
zens who vote for that party which appeals
to them most in campaign. The New York
convention wrangle impressed them most I'M
favorably They went almost solid for the
republican candidate
Senator Ra1ston's warning to the demo
Gratis is timely. Since the election the Nc
Adoo and Smith factions have resumed their
quarrel. AS has been often declared neither
faction can reasonably hope for success. Each
will have to yield or the democratic party
will not regain its normal strength in many
generations.

We read in Tennysonian pages that man

from which we've risen. From such remarks
you'll likely see that | with Bryan don't
agree | state without circumlocution that |
believe in evolution, and add without prevari-
cation I'm also strong for transmigration. My
soul within, the central l, was never born,

Then, monkey-like, | swung from trees but

though we wear the human shape not yet

strong to Danish war and hate and wrong.
The ladder long to which we chung has led
us upward rung by rung. We're on the way
toward something finer, toward something
nobler and diviner. O let us climb with teeth

Consume Home Products.
From the Cobb County Times.

Home grown and home manufactured
products should be given preference by our
people if we ever expect to grow and pros
per and build up our own resources. 1t IS
true that cloth, hosiery and other materials
are manufactured in the SOUTH but they are
shipped north and in turn our merchants
buy the goods manufactured at their own
doors from these eastern brokers and dealers
and sell to our home folks at an advanced
price, the advance being due to the reship-
ment and 'rebuyng from the parties OF the
second part The same holds good with our
farmers Instead of buying the products OF
dealers and mills greater portion of cotton
seed products is sold north and resold to our
own people who produced them at a higher
price than at which the products could have
been purchased from local concerns.
The Montgomery Advertiser in comment
ing on this condition says: The manager OF
local cotton oil company, in note to the
Advertiser, says: Our farmers cry for higher
prices for cotton and cotton seed, yet it is a
fact that we of the south, especially the cot
ton growers, are not using cotton goods and
cotton seed products sufficiently to stimulate
the demand Today in Montgomery our
farmers and dairNmen are buying mixed
feeds manufactured by northern companies,
while right here in Montgomery four oil mills
are offering the best feed, cotton seed meal
and cotton seed hulls at great saving. Our
southern farmer should realize that unless
he uses cotton seed meal and cotton seed
hulls it will not be long before some OF the
mills will quit business, seed will be shipped
out of the state and consequently the farmer
will get less for his cotton seed and pay
more for cotton seed meal

generations.

Any attempt to make up for postal defc-
its by increasing the postage on second class
matter will be followed as quickly as It can
be arranged by shifting of large part OF
the burden upon the public in the form OF
increased subscription and advertising rates
In great majority OF cases, particularly in
the small cities and country towns, the in
crease cannot be taken out OF the profits OF
the publishers because they are not in ex-
istence.
The theory OF second class mail rates was
that information should be available to the
public at the lowest possible cost. The gov
eminent, in the low rates, was contributing
to the wider distribution of information and
to spreading intelligence everywhere. If le-
gitimate news is to be taxed to such an ex-
tent that newspaper rates must go up there
will be fewer readers of the daily and weekly
press and less information distributed.

On a Better Basis.
From the Cordele Dispatch.

There are fewer bankrupts this year
Records in the office of George F. White,
deputy clerk of the United States dis

Georgia. show that only three bankrupt
cy petitions were filed with him in
October of this year as compard with

Thrifty Married Men.

1t has been found in surveying the income
tax returns in Chicago that the married man
is more thrifty than is the bachelor. No
doubt the figures may be taken as indicating
the general average of the financial response
bility of these two individual elements OF
society. What is true in Chicago, when it is
advised that returns of 100000 cases were ex-
amined, probably obtains in every communi-
ty in the country.
1t is shown that early in their careers the
married man and the bachelor are separated
by about per cent with the advantage in
favor of the unmarried one. Somewhere be-
tween "a and % the married man passes the
bachelor, and thence onward he distances
him with steady progression until at 48
he is leading by about 40 per cent.
There are reasons for this difference One
is that the married man has the desire to
get ahead and that he also senses its neces-
sity. The bachelor is not impressed with
either thought. Another is the superior status
of the married man over the bachelor. He
has more opportunities ali things being
equal because he is regarded as more &C
ceptable as a factor in the economic situation
and as having higher rating as a member
of society The married man is steadier in
his duties because he both has the desire
for advancement and needs it because OF his
greater responsibility Not only that, but
the married man also is more capable because
he is better able to concentrate his powers
on his task The married man is more set
tied than the bachlor. In business he is able
to escape irreevancies OF thought. He be-
comes more efficient because of his home en-
vironment and the steadying influence OF a
settled condition.
If the bachelor could know in his youth
what the future would hold of responsible
ties he would not be so far behind the mar
red man in his upward climb. That is denied
him because experience teaches not in theory
but in practice. And experience in the case
of the average bachelor exacts heavy tut
ton

Happy New Year!

1t has been the habit since time out of
tation "a Happy New Year" Therefore,
adhering to a beautiful custom The News
in all sincerity expresses its wish that all of
its readers and friends may have a happy
new year
To be sure. Why should not hope of a
happy new year be cherished in every heart,
and what excuse is there for not anticipat-
ing happy new year? New Years day above
all else is day OF hope, the day for look
ing forward, the day for renewal of faith.
In our arbitrary division of time we stand
where the ways part. We look both back
and forward. If we cannot look forward with
hope and confidence what profit is there in
life2
New Years day is a day for turning our
backs on the past. 1t is a day for making
a new start 1t is day for thinking less
of the past and more of the future. What is
past cannot be removed What we need to
be concerned about now is the days that are
to come during the year about to open.
Much that was distressing has afflicted us
in the year now ending, but there is abundant
reason for beginning the new year cheerfully
and hopefully Even if reasons were not
abundant it still would be necessary to pre-
serve optimism as we face the future.
We are in the midst of trying times. 1t
is not new experience for humanity Men
have been so tested since time began. 1t is
but short time since we were being tested
by prosperity, and today we are being tested
to some extent by adversely. 1t is a question
which of the tests is the harder to endure
The year we are now on the eve OF enter
ing will reveal how we react to this test In
such test it is the strong who survive and
the weak who are swallowed up The prob
lens of the time are to be solved only in
strength. The need of the time is for strong
and resolute men and women-men and wo-
men rooted in hope.
How blessed it is that we are thus able
to face the future that confronts us with
steadfast hope and courage With what ca
gerness do we now scan the narrow horizon
that confines us, straining vision in effort to
penetrate the veil that guards so strictly the
future We are as men standing on some
high mountain peak, peering with shaded
eyes into the vast distance and seeking to
discern its unknown mysteries. 1t is most for
tunate however, that vision is shortened as
it is and that we can see but such little
way ahead? What does the coming year con-
tain for us? Blessed it is that cannot
guess what we do not know. If we could
know, if the future could be revealed it is
doubtful whether any of us could summon
the fortitude to go on.
A happy new year? Assuredly. What is
happiness but state of mind? Let the old
time sa1utation, then, ring out Thursday
morning with vibrant good cheer and SINGER
ity, surcharged with hope and gladness. To
begin the new year in such spirit is to have
the battle won before it has begun.
Happy New Year!

Who Are the Farmers Friends?
From the Dallas (Ga.) New Era.


There are lot of farmers-and by the
way, a good many others-who habitually
"order" from mail order" houses what they
need One man in this town who makes his
living exclusively off our people was actually
contemplating ordering the lumber for a
house from mail order concern thousand
miles away. The poor fish thought he could
save money after paying freight on stuff that
he could buy right here.
Now, we are going to put it squarely up
to these folks
We will admit that there are some things
not habituaW carried in stock in Dallas, and
which, if needed in hurry, must be bought
elsewhere But
When crops fail who gives credit for sup
buck or Montgomery Ward do it?
Do you have an idea these mail order con-
Germs would loan you money to carry you
over? You know they wouldn't
Who pays the taxes that furnish public
schools for your children, foreign mail order
concerns or the people who live in Paulding
county?
Who chips in with money to bury poor
person. or replace house burned in the
county?
Who buys your fruit eggs, butter, vege-
tables, crops and other stuff, the mail order
house or the local merchant?
What would your land be worth if there
was no Dallas, with its railroad and banks
and stores?
Come clean, now. Don't you feel sneaky
selling your stuff to local merchants and
then mailing money order to some Jew
concern in Chicago?
