The Third Party.
The fiasco that resulted from the
attempt of the "Committee of Forty
eight” to form a new party was to
be expected. The only thing held In
common by tho several elements It
was planned to weld Into a single
compound, was a hatred of
things as they are ana antagonism
for the two old-lino parties. No last
ing nor worthwhile union has ever
been effected on a destructive basis
of this kind. Groups of men cpmo
together and stick together through
thick and thin to “do." not to "don't.”
The several elements it was hoped
Ro combine wero themselves formed
for the projecting df a single Issue,
a single reform./ Although each as
serted, perhaps, that his particular
new law wquld prove a panacea for
all economic and governmental ills,
still the effect was absolute slnglo
ness of purpose. Thus tho parties
were fanatical. While many of their
members might have been broad
minded, the organization was nar
row.
When the advocates of the third
party eatno to effect their purpose
they found that Instead of a spirit to
co-operatn thoy wrero confronted with
a determination to prosolyto. Each
clement was steadfastly determined
Hint its particular hobby bo lncor
porated Into the soul of tho now
party, regardless of what else was
excluded. This was nstural, and nat
urally fatal. I
The main thing that Is demonstrat
ed by the failure of the new party
to become a fact, is the utter futility
of ever trying to amalgamate the
ffmall groups In the politics of the
United States Into a powerful unit
The time was tho best In the coun
try's history for the little groups to
get togethor. They failed. They will
never havo another opportunity

BY D. a BICKERS
What Shall We Do For The
Children.
The work now being done by the
home demonstration agent in Clarke
county to build up to normal health
nnd weight many under-nourished
children. Is one that should merit the
' cooperation of every organization In
the county Interested In Its future. It
• should be supported In a way that
will make possible its broader devol
opment.
It Is a • timing fact that a large
proportion of present dagr children
are underweight because of Insufficient
or improper nourishment. Malnutri
tlen oeema not to be confined to homes
of poverty, but invades tho homes of
the well to-do. The condition Is seri
ous as It Is wlBe-sprcad. Physically
weak children are unable to develop In
to physically strong men and women
Physical weakness, tlie kind that
corne-J from malnutrition, la reflected
strongly In tho mental eupacity of
child and man. Most of the children

and whi#are taking summer course!
to make up work, were found under
weight.
If tho children of today are going
to develop into men and women who
will he able to shoulder the burdens
of the world and earry on to a bettet
\ day. they must be healthy children
capable of areompllshing a full “child*)
work" now In order that they may ac
quire the poayer of doing a full •man's
w or woman's work in the future. '
U And the child has a work of Im
W portative to accomplish. It has a duty
to be alert, and happy. It’s work Is tt
play. Only through the right kind of
playing now, healthy hearty, happy
play, can It later do healthy, happy
worthwhile work.
Undernourished children, whosi
every energy Is consumed In almost

• They cannot develope their little

We owe something to tho childrei

future accomplishments.
