Men in all countries still look for
support of the peace which was
sought in the league of nations at the
time it was made part of the treaty
signed at Paris at the eng of the
world war. Now and then a great
personage with power to speak indi
cates that the support of this coun
try ie expected in the effort to put
down war.
I‘ That there would be no real socur-f
lil_v for the peace of Europe or the\
=wm'hl until the “full strength of flm‘;
‘miphty American arm” was thrown
’i:.lu the bhalance in favor of peace,
'\\uq contended by T. P. ()'(f(mnm'.l
“father of the House of ('mumum«x."l
in an address on “Future relations nl"
ikngland and America.” ‘
The first thing, he said, if two na
tions were to work tog=ther, was to
understand pach other. To the ques
tion whether Great Britain understood
America or whether America under
stood Great Britain, he answered
| with an emphatic negative.
‘ So far as Kurope was concerned, he
je;:xid. he looked with apprehension on
the future of peace, but he looked
across the Atlantic for a ‘“‘great big
brother swho will help us in the work‘
for peaca.”
Britong must get out of their minds,
liowever, he said, the idea that Amer
icang ar, children of England, Scot
land, Whales or Ireland, and added
that an appeal to the spirit of the
Pilgrim Tathers was not an appeal
to the majority of the Amearican peo
ple.
GLAD THEY DID IT.
'We are not ashamed to write it
down here for all time—we are glad
‘the general assembly of Georgia has
refused to pass an arvdi-evolution law.
We ‘might include in it—if we ever
decide Ln such a measure—that biolo
-Iy, seology, astronomy, anthropology,
and even physiology should also bo

Evolution lany throbgl all thése asid
‘throngh all of natire. Devolution is
a law which likewise runs through
all nature and is a great tixed prine
¢iple about which scholars have but
just begun tn‘ learn, despite the fact
that both this and evelution “invalve
all plant and animal life.
We do not kuow it all, but what
has been disclosed to us thus far does
potdn-any form run at cross purpose
with Divine Creation. [lor us this
study eloquently speaks of the hand
of the Great Creator—the God we
worship, Evolution never fails. It
is so exacting, so perfect in the
course it runs, so unvarying in fin
al development under conditions im
posed in nature, that it is inseparable
with nature and all creation.
We have seen where those who are
clamoring for avti-evolution legisla
tion assert that mankind is by nature
inclined to ¢tand on his own construe
tion of things—prone to leave God
out of it all. That isn't so—not one
word of it. The general rule is the
reverse. Most people see so .much}
of Divine Creation in their study uf‘i
nature that they are ordinarily found
doing allegiance to the Divine Crea
tor because they find this appalling
truth as they advance.
| A WOMAN’'S CONCERN
z A frank criticism of the ex-Kaiser
!hy his mother, the late dowager Em
’pross Frederie, is revealed by the
memoirs of Baron von Reischach, the
lact Lord Marshal and Royal Equerry
‘of tha ‘Hohenzollerns.
| In his book of memoirg, “Under
f.'l'ln'ou Emperors,” the auvthor quotes
Ctha dowager Empress [Frederie in a
[letter she wrote to him from Englani
?in 1807 in response to his appeal to
her to try and modify the provalent
fm:wk to carry the principles of Tiu
innh-r to those who listened. He was
(not o miasked American—he might
have been many other things short
;ul' the ideal. Proud, open-faced, elo
}qm-ul in what he lived and believed,
e was such a man as men of every
[color and belief might honor in a
memorial service without having to
'l\:ul; upon the memberzhip rolls to
tind where he belonged,
iseverity of opinion about Germany
in certain leading circles of England
!at the time.
She wrote:
“It is, naturally, my heartfelt desira
to do everything within my power to
assuage any existing feeling of ir
ritation or hitterness of opinion. But
it is utterly impogsible for me to ex
i‘«ert any influence on the press of
either country. 1 have seen nothing in
‘,Uu- deceznt papers which come to my
LEand here, as, the Times, Globe, Stan
dard, Daily Telpgraph and others, that}
might be considered offensive. 'J‘hez
indecent ones I never see, heaven he
praised, and we may safely ignora
them. It would be deplorable indeed
if the Kaiser were to consider pre
cminently such papers, from which
he could nevar glean anything but a‘
very distorted picture of public sen
timent in England. I
“Bat quite apart from all odious ex- |
aggergal ions, a feu‘?ng of slistrust‘
still prevails for which, however, the
Kaiser only has himself to blamb. Fm'l
the exceptional sympathy and popu
larity which he enjoyed represented“
a carq in his hand with which h“’l
nmight have attained inestimable ad- |
vantages for Germany. Now our only!
liope must he that in time grass may
zrow over past errors and u!timat(.ly‘
2 more comfortable relationship ‘he
established.
If, however, the Gorman press con
tinues to copy the hostile attitude of
the Kaiser, Germany will in(,vitably:
be driven into the arms of Russia and‘
France and thus bring to grief the
consummation of that policy whi(:hl
all my life T have most ardently de
gired— an alliance hetween the two
Germanic nations and great prmnst-‘
ant countrizs,” |
CANADIAN POLITICS
While prorogation of the Canadian
Parlfament has been' followed by the
usual political lall, the possibility of
";:i“é{%mm) clection 111‘is fall arouses a
::ironf'g undercarrent, of interest.: For
e:(}VQ‘itul months after there has beern
(-,(.njfi:mru as to whether the Mac
kuuz‘fo King government, now in its
rnurfin year of office, will follow the
u.nuzfil course of appealing to lh(.- coun
try gut'oro the expiration of the fiva
)‘(9:ll'T;jl;(*|'lll. and whether arother ses
.v.inu‘}"'(;l‘ Parliament will be held be
l'uru% dissolution. A question from
the ?ifll;m- party of the House of Com
lmux_ld on those points shortly hefore
Parliamient was prorogued was an
swered by Premier King in a non-com
mital manner,
Expectation of a general election
this fall was high until the Labor
government! of Nova Scotia, in power
for 40 years, was defeated in thp
electior, in June when the Conserva
tives were successful in 40 out of 43
'('m)slituvu(-in.-;. On August 10 another
ll,ihvr;‘;l provincial government, that
of New Brunswick, will appeal to the
people. The result here, it is said,
will hav: a strong influence cn Pre
mier King and his advisers as to
whether or not Parliament shall be
dissolved.
3 In thac meantime Premier King has
;rvt.ir(wl {0 his country home north of
the Domir’on capitol where he can
rest and reviow the situation. llisi
decision with regard to an election |
this yecar cannot be very long delay
ed, as at lcast 45 days must elaps2
betwoon the issuance of election
writs and polling day.
In scave constituencies members of
"‘.4‘..' meoat already have engaged in
catsaian - work., . Arthur Meighen,
irad.r ef the Opposition in the Do
wminicn Parliament, and head of the
Conservative party, is planning to
’m:a!u- a number of ¢peeches in the
Lrovince of Manitoba. llf an ¢lpetion
is to be held the middle of October
is mention~d as the most probable
time for it.
Oscar Underwood did not stir up a
}\\orhl ot regrets when he announced
that he did not intend again to offer
for his place in the Urited States
senate from Alabama. On the other
hand his purpose as expressed in the
news lines was permitted to pass
without that general expression of re
gret which might be exppcted, ll('l
has been in publie office a long timel
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
anl has been in places of great re
'sponsibility in kis days of public serv
ice. It is to be regretted that he goes
cat at a time when his connection
with a great rift in the national de
mocracy will be counteq as something
Iwhich marked a really great loss of
power for his rzarty in the TUnited
Statef. If he had to confess, we feel
sure that he would admit that the
part hit friends played in the New
York national democratic convention
']as.t summer was an appalling politie
‘cal error. He was used in the fur
‘mrvranca of an effort to inject a damn
ing religious clash .into the fort»unes‘
of the government of this country.‘
That this effort was lost can never?
be credited to the will or the wishi
of the political friends of Oscar Un-‘
derwocd, for they. sought to aid thei
Al Smith forces in everything that
was undertaken to destroy the party.
Leaders of the Klan intimate ‘that
some fifteen thousan] of the lawless
clement first getting into the ranks
of this organization have been re
moved because of their inclination not
to live the tenets of the laws of the
land. Leaders of the Klan are fast
removing themselves from the reach
of those who condemn the lawless.
The day is here when this organiza
tion, insteaq of having to cope with
night riders within the ranks, is hav
ing more and more the assurance of
its members that the peace and dig
rity of the state is safeguarded and
protected by those who are members.
This tendency is having much to do
with closing the mouths of the ene
mies of the Klan. gg

Winder News:
This installment plan is calenkated
to lead in extravagance. Here is a
story we read the other day. Have
vou known such men?

hundred and fifty dollars a month,
married and bought a house with a
trifling amount down and the bal
ance in monthly payments, A baby
came. He then argucd himself into
pelieving tht the wife and bhaby
‘needed the ajr’’ although they lived
in the suburbs of a small {own, Ho
he found a sed ond-hand ear for $125.
It ecst only $25 dollars down and
he gave notes for the balance, It
goon dawned upon him that he had
made a mistake in buying a second:
hand car, So he sold it and bought
a new one. He paid all he received
| for the old car. down op the .new
Icar and gave notes for the balance
due on it. He still owned the notes
on the old car as well as the notes
on the new rme and -the notes on
the home. Thus he had three debts
to meet. ;
Practically every cent of this man's
income was pledged before he re
cied it. Whereas he was fairly com.
fortable befsre he bought the cars
now he is getting behind. His
anxieties increase he hegins to give
checks that are turned down at the
!bank, he gets mad with the bank of

Swapping doctors is an old trick. It has been resorted to byA?
scrupolous persons for vears. Doctors regogunize such tacties al
most instantly.
To “dismiss” one doctor and “engage’’ another is vour inalien
able right. You may have good reasons for so doing. But don’t
camouflage. Don’t try to hide your “hill heating” intentions.
Pay when vou fire!
Your old doctor took care of you when you needed him. You
