England's statesman, great Lloyd
George,
Shoots the shutes down the Royal
Gorge;
Bach things happen now and then,
But he's sure to como again.
Counties—new bounties—they seom
all the go,
Bat It’s certainly time to be going
alow.
From everything we can hear and
read,
Wo now have all tho counties we need.
Hallowe’en—the ghosts will dance
And spooks and goblins gaily prance.
And fays and fairies, elves and
gnomes
Will leave their dells and hidden
homes,
fhelr yearly festal then to hold-
Stay in that night, unless you're boldl
There is no need for us to say
This Is the gladsome Circus Day.
Folks have waited quito a while,
And now they greet it with a smile.
Boys skip out 'ere breakfast’s o’er
To hear tho lion’s morning roar.
Now Pa and Ma have got to go
And take the children to the show.
Poor Armenia.
No people in the world have suffer
ed more because of their religion than
the Armenians. They were the first
to adopt Christianity as a national
religion, and as a small and peaceful
nation surrounded by heathen foes
they have been the objects of cease
less persecution.
The worst stage in Armenian his
tory came at the outbreak of the
World War, when the Turks —em
boldened by their alliance with Germ
any—gave free vent to their cruelty
and conducted a wholesale massacre
of this helpless people. After the un
holy alliance of Turk and Hohenzol-
lern was beaten, the Turks resumed
their massacre of Armenians in order
to prevent them from reaping any
benefits from the Allied victory.
There are at least two reasons for
Turkish hatred of the Armenians.
The first, of course, is Mohammedan
fanaticism, which hates and would
destroy all other religions. The oth
er, while it has a religious foundation,
has a more material basis linked with
it. The Christian religion is elevat
ing and makes a people progressive;
the Mohammedan religion is the op
posite of this. The result is that the
Armenians are of a much higher class
than the Turks who surround them,
and this causes friction between the
races. The Turks having the advant
age in numbers, vent their hatred in
violence whenever the opportunity of
fers, and the present return of the
Turk to power places the Armenians
in a desperate plight.
In 1020 the Armenians called on
President Wilson to use his efforts in
their behalf; and he was willing to
undertake to help these persecuted
Christians, but the Republican major
ity in the Senate was determined to
hamstring him In every undertaking.
Turkey would have respected a prop
er intervention by the United States,
for sho would have known that
had no selfish purpose In It and want
ed none of her territory. Any Euro
pean nation would have been under
Turkish suspicion on this line, and we
were the only country In tho world
that would have been able to peace
fully interfere with Turkish persecu
tion of tho Armenians. We missed
our opportunity then, and It will be
strango indeod if we do not some time
have to pay heavily for our refusal
to play a Christian part by the
forlng Christians.
Tho many Polk county friends of
«k-Gov. Jos. M. Brown, of Marietta,
Rpmpathlze with him in tho death of
Mi wife, which occurred Sunday.
Adjt Gen. J. Van Holt Nash was
killed and Liout. H. M. Butler was
fatally injured Friday when their enr
Burned turtle near Griffin on their
way back to their home in Atlanta.
Son. Nash has rendorod valuable ser
vice for many years In Georgia’s mil
itary service.
Many preachers have tried to apo
Bam Jones, and have meroly made
monkeys of themselves in so doing.
And now wo’ro going to see somo pol
iticians try to ape the late Tom Wat-
•on with the same result. There nev
er has been but one Sam Jones, and
Stare will never be another Tom
Wataon.
Some people may condemn Senator
Harris for his stralght-from-tho
dhouldor thrusts at Governor Hard
wick, but we are impressed with tho
fact that he is the first public official
who had tha backbone to tell the Gov
ernor and the people just what others
have been whispering. They were
fearless statements from a dean man,
eondemning rottenness in both public
and private life. Our hat is off to
Senator Harris.—Douglas Sentinel.

While a woman gets the worst of
It in any lapse from virtue as com
pared with men, she has all the ad
vantage if she commits murder. How
ever heinous her crime, there is a
strong public sentiment against send
ing her to tlie gallows. Mrs. Cora
Vinson, an Atlanta woman who killed
her husbnnd, had been sentenced to
death for her crime,but was last week
granted a new trial, plead guilty, nnd
was sentenced to life imprisonment.
After spending a' short time at the
State Farm, she will doubtless be
Turned loose.

In Partial Eclipse.
who won the war for Great Britain
and who has since maintained
credit and kept her at pcaco with the
rest of tho world, mot n temporary
defeat last week. Ho has held the
position of Prime Minister by virtue
of a coalition of political parties, but
these psrtics have not boon ablo to
agree of late, and Mr. George has ac
cordingly resigned. Hon. A. Bonar
Law succeeds him, and a general elec
tion has been ordered for Nov. 18th,
at which time it is quito likely Lloyd
Goorgo will achieve another victory.
Tho career of Lloyd George from
his poverty-stricken boyhood in Wales
to his position of commanding im
portance not only in England but the
whole civilized world, is a wonderful
Btory. Ho is the last to go down In
defeat at tho hands of unappreciative
peoples of the great quartet that pre
vented German triumph in tho World
War — Premier Clemenceau of
Franco, Premier Orlando of Italy.
President Wilson of the United
States, and Premier Lloyd George of
Great Britain. His present tempora
ry eclipse is no surprise, for his poli
tical enemies have been hammering
at him for years—and he has never
been afraid of making enemies when
he thought he was right.
After President Wilson was strick
en by ill health as a result of his su
per exertions for humanity, Lloyd
Goorgo is easily tho groatest of mod-
orn statesmen. His success in hand
ling the difficult Irish question, bring
ing peace after centuries of blood
shed, entitles him to the thanks of the
world. Civilization owes him, too, a
debt of gratitude for stopping the re
cent Turkish advance without pre
cipitating another world war.
Republics are proverbially ungrate
ful, and England is almost a republic,
so it may be that Lloyd George will
not be restored to power; but the
people will finally realize in England
—as they will ultimately do in the
case of Mr. Wilson in this country—
that however much fault may be
found with Mr. George’s policies,
they finally have to be accepted as
the best that can be offered, nnd that
delay in acceptance proves hazardous
nnd expensive.
It is probably fortunnte for the
German republic that she will hold
no election in the near future. The
Reichstag has voted to prolong the
term of President Ebert to June 30th,
1925.

A Dignified Reply.
When a man gets bumped as hard
as Tom Hardwick did on Sept. 13th,
and then gets an even worse bumping
from the same people on Oct. 17th,he
naturally feels somewhat sore; but ho
doesn’t help himself by running a-
round calling people names and dar
ing them to fight, and thus disgracing
the high office of Governor of the Em
pire State of the South.
In his quiet, business-like way Sen
ator W. J. Harris last week called at
tention to some things of general
knowledge and report, and Hardwick
lost his head and denounced him
through the press in decidedly “un
parliamentary terms.”
And to his rabid mout.hings Senator
Harris makes the following sensible
reply: “Denunciation is no new
thing for Hardwick. He denounced
President Wilson in time of war, he
denounced Senator Watson in lan
guage unfit to print. His denuncia
tions have not had much weight in the
past, and have none at all now. The
best answer to Hardwick was furnish
ed by the people at tho ballot box
Tuesday.”
Use Polk county products.
Let’s Squelch It!
We note with surprise that a Capt.
Wm. H. H. Phelps, of Atlanta, is get
ting into the race as an independent
against Maj. Chas. E. McGregor, the
gallant old Confederate veteran who
won such an overwhelming victory
for Pension Commissioner in the re
cent primary. Phelps talked about
running in the primary, but decided
that he stood no chance. It is need
less to say that he should and will
stand no chance in the general elec
tion Nov. 7th.
j If Capt. Phelps could get support
! from those who did not vote in the
! recent primary, he could present an
honest front to the state, but it is an
insult to any honest man who voted in
the primary to ask him to vote against
the primary nominees,
j The white primary h»3 been for
years—and is today— the political
salvation of Georgia, and any man
who undertakes in any way to break
it down is worthy of the severest con
demnation.
The Phelps candidacy will not a-
mount to anything, of course, but
Maj. McGregor’s personal and poli
tical friends and every believer in the
white primary should get busy and see
that the Major has an overwhelming
vote.
Every farmer should add somo
milch cattle to his herd right now.
See County Agent W. H. Garner, and
he will show you how to get ready
cash from them the whole year.
At the meeting of the State Execu
tive Committee last Friday in Atlanta,
a resolution was introduced by Chair
man G. E. Maddox heartily endorsing
the worth and work of United States
Senator W. J. Harris, and it was en
thusiastically and unanimously adop
ted.
Congressman Gordon Lee, of the
Seventh district, has been nominated
! as his own successor for tho tenth
| consecutive term, which indicates the
value Northwest Georgia places up
on his services. It is a mistake to
change Congressmen at every elec
tion, and those who have been in the
service should be continued in office
just as has been done in this instance.
He is a man of ability and influence,
anil liis real worth is not only appre
ciated by the people of his district,but
those of the state also.—Sandersville
