ALAS!

Another illusion is destroyed.
We'd always envied prehistoric peo-
pie, believing they had an easy time
of it. But they had to work $4,000
years ago. This is disclosed by dis
covery of tools of labor near the
petrified human skeletons found in
California. The tools were a bone
awl and a rock ak.
The ak may have been used in
but the awl indicates sew
ing, one of the earliest forms of
work. Man has to toll for his bread,
no matter in what part of the world
he lives or in what period of history.
The few who escape work are sup
ported by the toll of others.

Misrepresentation

Not being satisfied with
great victory-and it was a
splendid one, regardless of how
it was attained, whether by trad
ing with the Ku Klux Klan, us
ing the labor vote and then for
getting labor; incorporating the
prohibition issue, when that
question was not at issue--not
being satisfied with all this,
MIR. McAdoo's friends have,
directly or indirectly, made
more than one misrepresenta-
tion since the presidential pri-
mary.
They have endeavored to
persuade the public that the
fight among McAdoo degelates
regarding the manner in which
these delegates were appointed,
was not a McAdoo fight. but
discomfort among the Under
wood forces.
Since the evening OF the pri-
mary, when the Underood
forces saw that they had lost
the state, the Alabama Sena-
tors friends have had little to
cay regarding the primary, 9TH
er than to concede a great VIC
tory to Mr.. McAdoo. The I'm
derwood forces recognized the
right of the McAdoo froces to
name all of the delegates to the
state convention.
And now another misrepre-
sentation is brought directly to
the attention of the editor of
the Times-Recorder in a letter
from Hon. r. c. Gordon, of
Savannah, state manager for
Senator Underwood in the presi-
Dental primary, as follows:
Savannah, April %, 1924.
Mr.. Loyelace Eve,

er" McAdoo Atlanta correspond
ent has been sending out por-
tions of an interview with me,

would kindly reproduce it in
your valuable paper, in justice
to my true position, / will APP
preciate it. With kindest re-
CARDS, I am
Sincerely your friend,
R. c. GORDON.
The letter referred to by Mr..
Gordon, as published by the
Atlanta Journal on the I'D is as
follows:
Editor The Journal: In your
Sundays issue on the editorial
page, am quoted correctly,
viz: That the Representatives of
Mr.. McAdoo Technically com
piled with the party rules, and
acted entirely within their rights
in selecting delegates to the
Democratic state convention"
but / still further stated most
confidently that if Senator I'm
derwood had carried Georgia, l,
as one of his managers, would
not have assumed to select dele
gates, regardless of my technical
right, without first consulting
with the recognized Underwood
leaders in every county in Geor-
gia.

of Mr.. McAdoo, nor am | but

deavor to do, if Mr.. Underwood

Roads can be made absolutely

If autos continue multiplying as

Savannah, April 20.
AS supporter of Senator
Underwood, the Times-Record-
er has not failed to recognize
the right of the McAdoo forces
to name every delegate to the
convention held yesterday, but
we did most emphatically con-
denim the METHOD pursued in
the selection of the delegates.
After securing the almost uni
versal support of organized la
Dor, McAdoo's managers refus-
ed Cor failed) to name single
outstanding labor man among
the delegates to the state con
vention. The Journal of La
Dor, the official spokesman for
labor in Georgia, criticized the
McAdoo forces for this slight
in no uncertain terms. If Mr..
McAdoo had the race to run
over in Georgia tomorrow, we
doubt if labor would flock" to
his standard as it did in March.
Another instance of the UNI
wise methods pursued in hand
picking the delegates was given
as Wednesday by a McAdoo
supporter from a South Georgia
county. This county was given
two delegates. The first dele
gate picked by the Atlanta man
ayers is a Republican, who did
not vote in the primary and is
the organizer in that county for
the Ku Klux Khan. He refused
to accept the appointment. The
second delegate named is sup
posed to be a member of the
khan; he did not vote in the pri-
mary and he refused the APP
pointment.
The first alternate did not
support McAdoo, is supposed to
be klansman and he refused
to accept the place of alternate.
This left one alternate, an ex-
cellent woman from that com
munity, and we were informed
that she attended the conven-
ton.
Another example of the un-
wise method of manipulating.
instead of allowing the county
committee to select, was seen in
Sumter county. Colonel r. L.
Maynard was chairman of the
McAdoo forces but was placed
on the delegates list as an al
ternate. Others, less active
were appointed as delegates. A
seeming lack of interest on the
part of the four delegates nam
ed was evidenced by the non
attendance of Sumter delegates,
for only one of the four, MIR.
John Wagnon, we were inform
ed attended the convention
Wednesday.
IF MIR. McAdoo' S managers in
other states-or his managers
in the national campaign (pro-
vided of course, that he secures
the nomination. blunder as bad
ly as his Georgia managers have
Numbered, then there's little
hope of seeing the erstwhile sec
rotary of the treasury in the
presidential chair.

TRAVEL

How much does it cost to travel?

OF course, on how much railroad

Travel has become an expensive
luxury. Corporations before the
war figured that high-grade sales
man, making long jumps and stop,
ping at good city hotels, couldn't
get by for less than $40 a day. Ii
takes twice as much now, on account
