Kin* ’Tino surely pulled a bone When he thought that he’d enlarge his throne; The Greeks now find that they’d been wiser ■ad they sent their King to join the Kaiser. Last week’s primary broke many a slate Here In good old Georgia State. Whilo the 13th was nice and balmy, *Twaa a most unlucky day Tor Tom mie. Jim Nevln said he’d sweep the deck— Wouldn’t give CHIT a smell, by heck I But he found out, when the nows camo later, ■e wasn’t so much a prognosticator. Bedinger Baylor, of Sans Souci Caa- tlo, Didn't put up very much of a wrastle, But the chances are he feels just as well As some who have bigger stories to tell. RIevons take the place of nines— The diamond now no longer shines; "Como ’leven!’’ is today tho call, And "foot” goes to tho hoad as ball. Straw lids are now clear out of style, But we’ll wear ours for yet a while; As long as Sol shines down so hot, We’ll stick to straw—stylish or not. Instead of staging a come-back, as he expected, King Constantine can ■ow go away back. Well, just as wo told you, the 13th was a mighty unlucky day for the ■ardwlck-Blalock combination. If tho Mohammedans should start a "holy war," it would bo tho most wholly unholy war tho world hns ever aeen. U the election had been a week mrtnor off, tne ianaslido for Walker and Brown would have been nearly twice as large. "CliiT, the Giant-Killer,’’ as Tom Hardwick called him two years ago, seems to bo able to knock out some thing besides giants. Greece trlod to play a slippery game, and has fallen into the pit her self. Tho trouble is that all the rest of the world must suffer for her folly. Vardamnn, Blouse and Hardwick— tho toboggan was well greased for them,but they didn’t find any feather beds to break tho force of their fall when they hit the bottom. It is estimated that the new tariff an sugar imposed by the Republican administration will cost the people of the United States an increase of over $150,000,000 a year. Of this the Government will got about one-third, and the rest will go into tho pockets of tile Sugar Barons. Polk gave good majorities to her next-door neighbors—Hon. M. L. Johnson, of Bartow, for Railroad Commissioner,and llon.Harper Ham ilton, of Floyd, for Judge of Court of Appeals. Their many friends re gret that they missed election. With the good poople of the 38th senatorial district we rejoice that Col. W. W. Mundy, of Cedartown,has been unanimously elected Senator from that district. He has twice serv ed Polk county as Representative in tho House, and his election Wednes day will give him a second term in the Senate. Each time he has had no opposition. His splendid legislative record qualifies him as an aspirant to the position of President of the Sen ate.—Rome News. Georgia Needs Him. Georgia needs men—able, far-see ing, red-blooded men—men of educa tion, character and energy. Georgia needs men who can and will do things for her advancement and upbuilding—men of progressive ideas—men who are workers as well as planners. The value of such men to any states is beyond estimate, and they arc the men whom Georgia should de light to honor and upon whom she should put the responsibility of con ducting her affairs. Georgia needs men at the helm of state who are big enough not to play politics with every question that comes before them, but who want to do what is right because it is right. Polk presents such a man to the slate of Georgia in the person of Hon. W. W. Mundy,of Cedartown, who has just been unanimously elected as Senator from the 38th District and who will be a candidate for the pres idency of the Senate. . He has the strength of character,the wide knowl edge of men and affairs, the energy and determination to make him suc cessful In everything he undertakes and he has most ably filled every po sition of trust and responsibility that has come to him. A self-made man, he worked his way through college, where he took high standing in his studies and as an athlete; studied law under the late Col. Ivy F. Thompson, of Cedartown, and quickly rose to a place of emin ence at the bar, being recognized to day as one of Georgia's ablest law yers ;was elected to the Senate to fill the unexpired term of his lamented brother, Hon. I. F. Mundy; has serv ed two terms in the House, whe-e he was a member of the most important committees and where ho was recog nized as a real statesman and as one of the safest leaders; and now he goes to the Senate by the unanimous vote of his home county,whose people arc anxious that higher honors shall come to him. As President of tho Senate, Mr. Mundy would be in a position to give tho state better service than other wise, and to give the service that Georgia so greatly needs. Capnhlc and fearless, fair-minded and cour teous, a close student of the affairs of state, he would make an ideal pre siding officer for Georgia's highest legislative body. We fool that tho man and tho hour have met, and it is with the most perfect confidence in both his worthiness and his success that we nominate Hon. W. W. Mundy, of the county of Polk, for the Presi dency of the Senate. She is Indeed A troubled girl; Her bobbed hair doesn't Stay In curl. —Detroit Free Press.

Russell, one of Georgia’s most deservedly popular jurists, defeated Judge W. II. Fish, a very able man,for re-election ns Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. "■ he quicker the Republicans pass their gouging tariff bill and got it in running order tho worse it will be for the country—but ihe better for the Democratic party, which cannot fail to profit largely by Republican blun ders. The Standnrd enjoyed a pleasant call Tuesday from Mr. J. D. McCart ney, a “reformed nowspnper man” who Is now Vice President of the Central Railway, and Judge W. S. Rowell, the able editor of the Rome Tribune. President Hording hns vetoed the bonus bill, which would have put money into the hand) of thousands of men who need it, but no is anxious f. r the passage of the Republican tariff bill that will take money out of the pockets of the poor and give it to the rich. Hon. Walter McDonald, the blind lawyer from Augusta, was elected to succeed Hon. C. M. Candler, who was not a candidate for re-election, as Railroad Commissioner, and Hon. J. A. Perry succeeds himself on that Board—just as Polk emphatically said he should do. NEAR-EAST WAR England Rushing Ships to Constantinople. The World War has had a sobering effect on our Jingoes, and men who a few years ago would have wanted to rush into war (most of them by proxy, of course,) because American citizens are killed in Mexico or the Near East, are now keeping discreet ly silent. It is indeed a grave situation that exists in the troublous regions known as the Near East. King Constantine, of Greece, thought to re-establish himself in favor by regaining some of his country’s former Asiatic possess ions, believing the Turks were too much weakened by the World War to withstand him. He reckoned wrong, however, for the Turkish Nationalists have rallied in great force and re captured Smyrna with horrible butch ery. Emboldened by their success, they arc demanding the return of other former Turkish territory. Many Americans have lost their lives or have been mistreated by the Turks. England and Italy are rushing ships and troops to Constantinople to protect Christian lives and property, and have warned the Turkish laaders not to invade the neutral zone fixed by the Allies after the World War. Unlesa the world wanta to Bee a ‘holy war" started by Mohammedan against all Christian nations. It is necessary that the Turkish advance be promptly stopped. Germany tried to instigate such a war,but fail ed. Tho seed Bown then, However, has done some sprouting since. A more immediate danger is that the Russian hordes unite with the Turks, in which event Europe will a- gain seethe with war. Opportunity knocks at your door thru the medium of ROGERS ad vertising.

Following his victory for re-elec tion as Commissioner of Agriculture, Hon. J. J. Brown issued a statement Friday oxpressing his appreciation of the support and loyalty of his friends throughout the state. His victory was as sweeping as It was well deserved. Commissioner Brown's statement is as follows; Mr. Brown's Card. I take this opportunity of thanking my friends throughout the state for the loyal support they gavo me in the primary of Sept. 13. Words fail me when it comes to expressing my pro found gratitude to those loyal friends (many of whom made personal sacri fices) to the end that the great cause for which I stand-fair play, truth and justice—might prevnil. The issuos botween myself and my opponent in the recent campnign wore of more vital importance to the farmers of Georgia than any previous campnign, to my knowledge. For many months scheming, dcslgning.po liticnl assassins have made false char ges against my administration; I had been assaulted In both branches of the General Assebly by disgruntled politicians, only to be vindicated un animously by the House and the Sen ate, and finally these false charges and accusations were carried into tho campaign, and today I stand vin dicated before the people of this great state by an overwheming ma jority. As the smoke of battle clears away, I will continue the duties of the of fice of Commissioner of Agriculture with envy In my heart to none, and with the distinct knowledge that for another term I will be Commissioner of Agriculture of all the peoplte; and whatever bitter things may havr been said in the heat of passion will be forgotten. The height of my am bition will be to give the people of Georgia tho very best service there is in me—to the end that we may go on to a completion of the rebuilding of agricultural Georgia in the critical days of reconstruction after the world's greatest war, ao as to fix the distribution of the farm products of our state on a basis that will give to the farmers of Georgia their cost of production, plus a reasonable profit— thereby enabling them to pay their honest debts and have a surplus with which to build their rural homes.coun- try schools and churches, as well as better roads; and, at the same time, make our towns and cities more pros perous. As a closing word,permit me to take this method of expressing my sincere appreciation, and thanking each and everyone of my thousands of friends who have offered their congrntula tions over our wonderful victory. With hatred toward none, and an ever-abiding love for those friends who so nobly stood by me. J. J. BROWN. In Haralson county S. M. Goldin defeated Taylor Smith for re-election as Representative.
