WATSON—SMITH-PALMER
Of all days this day stands pre-eminently in the
lead as fraught with greatest opportunity.
To do right now is to multiply righteousness a
thousandfold to do wrofig now means to multijly
unrighteousness ten thousandfold.
Men in the heat of elitical argument and under the
excitement of the passing moment are liable to say
rash and regretable things. It is possible to over
look such things, hut men should not sit down in
their private offices and quietly and thoughtlessly
say things that needlessly hurt.
Watson is in the race for president. Smith is
also a candidate as is Palmer. Watson is a man of
brains and conviction —a man known thoughout
the nation. Smith is our senior senator. Pulmer
is our attorney general.
Home of our newspapers have made some ugly
statements about, these men, and also about the
voters who support them.
This is a democratic country. Every man will
have tiie right to vote as he pleases in the race,
and here in Barrow there are goiifg to he numbers
of our best citizens who will vote for Watson.
Others will vote for the other candidates.
What is true of our county is true in most counties
in Georgia.
Candidates, editors and voters should be exceed
ingly careful to act. on such a high and exalted
plane that when the campaign is over no one will
nave am thing to regret.
For anyone to say that Watson is not loyal to
his country because lie opposes the present admin
istration. or to accuse Smith of deceit and not in
tending to run sure enough, or to say that Palmer
is simply a “me too" of Wilson is putting the matter
too strong when it is in print.
Words that cut and hum on the air are bad enough,
hut they are swept away by the wind. Words in
cold type remain.
Therefore, let’s practice in our re’ntlons to nl
these presidential nspirants the Golden Rule, and
after April 20th, we will have clear consciences and
i-o regrets to reflect upon.
o
A smile Is no more expensive than n farm.
O
Yes, this is a good town. But <li<l you ever tell
others so.
n
To escape from the piker class,votes should ad
vance in price- also.
O
Sunshine is an aid to the health —until it becomes
so hot it is an aid to the doctor.
O
Some jM'ople, we suspect, are keen on discovering
the fa lilts of others in order to cover up their own.
O
And still, we are firmly convinced that the dawn
of universal peace is still in the realm of the dawns.
O
Time waits for no man—but it just hangs on like
the devil for a woman before a mirror.
O
A wise man sees his own faults. The fool sees
only those of others.
O
When you get hold of a good thing, William, hang
onto both ends. The middle sometimes gives way.
O
Food is going up, smokos are going up. everything
is away up, and if something don’t come down soon
we ll all blow up.
o
We’re just pining to scratch off an editorial on
the low cost of something. But we can’t find tne
something.
O
Many n wary side stepper nimbly evades the bill
collector only to fall into more relentless clutches
when his wife grimly orders him to “dig down.”
o
Note, please, that the oratory of our presidential
spellbinders was completely eclipsed the other day.
But it took a hell rising tornado to do it.
O
Some good men and true become so thoroughly
wrapped up in the work of selecting good men for
public office that they even forget, to vote,
f O
Our office devil is the genuine article. He says
some people are so warped and perverted they can
not even feel the cracks in their own conscience.
o
The bright star of hope shim's steadily before us
all. but we never see It so long as we keep our eyes
glued to the ground.
o
“Xo rest, for the wicked in this town," truthfully
exclaimed a leading citizen as he tore off his coat,
rolled up his sleeves and feverishly plunged into
the work of the day. And yet if we were to call
him wicked old sinner in these colums he would he
right after us with a popgun.
O
WE NEVER CAN TELL
These days the country is indulging in tlie
pleasing pastime of turning out another grist of
public officials, from president down to the most,
humble of them all.
•Today we see great virtues in this man, and that
one, and the other, and we expect great things from
them.
.But we never can tell.
Sometimes they measure up to expectations, and
then again they do not measure at all. But making
them is great sport, even though at times they bite
the hand that made them.

Don’t Throw Your Vote Away!
Y'ote For
MITCHELL PALMER
Attorney General Palmer is the only
nation-wide candidate before the jHople
of Georgia in the primary of April 20;
the only candidate you can logically
support without throwing your .vote
away.
Always intensely loyal to the Demo
cratic party before the war, during the
war anil since, he lias ever supported
its great principles and stands faith
ful to them today. It was Mitchel
Palmer who, as alien property custo
dian during tin* war, seized seven hun
dred million dollars of German prop
erty In the United States, making pos
sible the early settlement of the Lusi
tania and other American war claims.
It was Mitchel Palmer who drove
the ‘Reds,” Radicals and Anarchists
from America.
It was Mitchel Palmer who tackeled
the High Cost of Living with the re
sult that it has already begun to'come
down and will, before long, he restored
to normal. • ■ * r
It was Mitchel Palmer who came
out boldly for the League of Nations
to prevent future wars, either without
reservations or with them, so long as
they do not destroy its efficiency.
Asa citizen, Mitchell Palmer’s life
is above reproach, and your vote for
him on April 20, means a VOTE FOR
THE HIGHEST TYPE, BOTH OF
AMERICANISM AND DEMOCRACY.
