The Dispatch this day enjoys a
meal from a seven pound turnip
raised in the city garden of a local
banker. Indeed we have renewed
gtrength and courage to go out and
fight the day's business battles,
The republicans are very kindly
towards President Wilson now in
thier requestg that he call a world
dfiarmament conference. ‘When
.pushed with the intimation that
sich a request should not be made of
thé outgoing chief executive the
other day, they intimated that it was
not expected that the matter would
be ready till Harding came into of

. Now they are quoting Charles E
Hughes in his past public utterances
with regard to the peace treaty and
the league covenant, And Charlie
séems to have been so much of an
oracle that it is really hard to ascer
tain what he does believe, He has
been in politics before. One of the
first things a wise politician will do
ig to hide his own attitude and keep
it hidden till it is time to play it.
And the time to play it is when one
has all he expects out of politics.
Isi't that part of the game?
News from English sources says
‘% a million English women are

MdAhuse of the fact that there are
80 many more women than men in
fi'fliland From a French source we
'*r)ijd that the French women, who
H"*'gwlse largely outnumber the men

p&only rich Americans as husbands.
d it we could ascertain whether

. MAY LOSE SHOO-FLY.
_‘Phe Seaboard Railroad may not be
-‘Qing its trade territory in this sec
tioh with the proposed changes in
digredules which will give Cordele an
.é‘fly train from the west in the
m_?:,m}ng. but_lose the late evening
thoodf'ly which has been coming
ttlm the west at 7:30 at night. The
thdin is cut off only between Ameri
cus and Abbeville, that territory
clm to Cordele on both sides.
;it had become our eager hope that
flf‘ ‘could have both the morning and
événing train. We were sure that
would make it possible for all sorts
H’ &;S\isiness to be transacted here, and
‘wea were also”hopeful that it would
mie it possible for Cordele people
-to-g0 and come from both direction:
Wwith' a fairly full day out on the
lines.
Udere will be no opposition to
what is offered, it is genevally be
lieved, but the loss of the late even:
ing Shoo Fly from the west is to be
regretted if it is taken off. Mails
out of Cordele can go east under this
_arrangement only once every twenty
o
four hours. This would be unusual
in a community well situated and
serving as a distributing point for so
many othefr pointg all around. We
are wrong in the assumption that‘
mail could go only once in twenty
four hours to the west over the Sea
board, but the fact that the morning
the movement of that going in such
train east is:local badly handicaps
manner. Better to say we have only
one .regular mail train east in thatl
period of time,
But this community ought to hav2
a desire to cooperate strongly with
the officials of the Seaboard in any
effort to improve their service as well
as to make the road more nearly a
self sustaining enterprise. We bene
fit in many ways when the road
earns its way. We are glad we are
getting a new morning train east.
We hope this will prove heneficial,
and we hope the evening incoming
train from the west can be retained.
DEATH'S CALL.
We often forget that death comes
to all the living—that this is an old,
old way of the world, aud that all
will one day have fallen into the
embrace of the silent reaper. That
we do not know the day and the hour
is best, for we have to labor and love
and plan for the things that human
hands and hearts may do for the bei
terment of the world in which we
live.
As we hurried to business this
morning, the news of the death of
Mr. R. Boniske sent a shock of sor
row into the hearts of all the men of
the community. He had suffered ill
ness and close friends and neighbors
were aware of his condition, but the
people of the community as a whole
did not know of his serious condi
tion.
We have not sald it all when we
write here that he was a friend of
everybody and everybody was his
friend. The good business man, wé
imagine, loves to hear it said of him
that he is a good man., This was a
plain business man who gave him
self to his business and the good of
his community, He had a man's
heart, modest, sincere, unassuming,
not given to show and splendor. His
word was all one needed in a busi
ness deal. He knew how to keep
that word, and he kept it. He tried
to fulfill all obligations to other men
as one might expect a good man to
do.
And hig apparent reserved attitude
towards all business movements for
advancement of the community did
not mean that he had no interest.
He believed in doing and was always
large hearted and liberal in giving
to help needy causes. His judg
ment wag usually sound and revealed
him to all people as a well balanced
man., He had pride in the good name
of hig business, in the joys and hap
piness of his home, in the advance
ment of his children in the schools,
in all local civie improvements.
He had long learned to measure
his own successes by the success of
the whole business community and
¢hat made him a citizen whose for
tunes werg tied once and for all time
to Cordele. His going takes away a
citizen whose business career made
him known and appreciated. He will
be missed now and for long years to
come. \
“BACK TO NORMALCY.” p
In discussing an lmpormht
matter, says Bill Biffin, in the
Savannah Press: “There ig cer
tainly a return to normaley
among some of Mr, Harding's
supporters. A Savannah lady
who advertised for a washer-wo
man yesterday had fifty appli
cants. A year ago she didn’t get
reply to a similar notice.”
Evidently Georgia Republicans
are planing to support the ad
ministration —Atlanta Journal.
Right you are. If five hundred ne
gro washerwomen had to come for
one washing, still they would deem
it their religious duty to support the
republican administration.
The negroes enjoyed an era of
prosperity under the democrats dur
ing the past eight years unlike any
thing they have ever seen or heard.
But they play the part of sheep and
cattle in politics when they get that
far. They are herded and handdled
by the republicans for the number of
heads that can he counted in an elec:
tion
‘While the negroes are Jearaing,
‘ they might learn some of these things
‘about their political benefacfiora, the
republican party. They have some
hard times ahead of them, but this
they may be able to offset hy the fact
that the republicans are in office. It
hurts, but the negro republican poli
tician will likely be able to offer the
healing salve,
CREED OF THE MARION STAR.
(Owned by President-elect Warren
G. Harding.)
The following was the newspaper
creed given to every young reporter
on becoming a member of the Marion
Star:
Remember there are two sides to
every question—get them both,
Be truthful. Get the facts.
Mistakes are inevitable, but strive
for accuracy. I would rather have
one story exactly right than a hun
dred half wrong.
Be decent, be fair, be generous,
Boost—don’t knock.
There's good in everybody. Bring
out the good in everybody and never
needlessly hurt the feeling of any
body.
In reporting a political gathering
give the facts, tell the story ag it is,
not as you would like to have it.
Treat all parties alike.
If there's any politics to be played
we will play it in our editorial col
umns.
Treat all religious matter rever
ently.
If it can be possibly avoided never
bring ignomy to an innocent man or
child in telling of the misdeeds or
misfortune of a relative.
Don’t wait to be asked, but do it
without asking, and, above all, be
clean and never let a dirty word or
suggestive story get into type.
I want this paper S 0 conductel
that it can go into any home without
destroying the innocence of any child
WARREN G. HARDING.
THE MISFIT CITIZEN.
From North Georgia Citizen:
Walt Mason, a good optimist anl
pros-poet extra-ordinary, pays respect
to the town knocker and grouch in
the following well-chosen lines.
“Breatheg there a man with soul so
tame, that when the home team wins
a game, he doesn’t throw a fit? Who
doesn’t help to make a noise, or take
his place among the boys who on the
bleachers sit? If such there be, go,
set him down as an incumbrance to
the town, a brake upon its wheel;
for any fellow is a crime who doesn’t
at the baseball time a glow of rap
ture feel. If he can view unmoved
the score which shows us how the
home team bore the foemen off the
map, the soul within him is decayed,
our councilmen should take a spade
and plant that kind of chap. For
he’s the man who always grunts when
we'd put on improvements stunts,
and pave the village streets, who al
ways beefs about his tax, and sticks
to pennieg tight as wax, and prices
downward beats. He is the skate
who never gives much satisfaction
while he lives, whose worth we can't
discern; but when at last he cashes
in, the people raise a joyful din, and
costly fireworks burn.”

come in with a smooth proposition and get you, if you don’t
wateh out. Save the printing for the home plant. The money,
