Entcrred as second-class Mail matter at the post-office at Winder, Ga., under Act of Congress March 3. 1879. The man who continually kicks at his government not only docs himself harm hut harms others and accomplishes little good. 0 United States soldiers have crossed tin 1 border and shown the Mexi can rebels they must not endanger the lives of United States citizens in their efforts to tear down their own government. 0 Three more states, New York, Ohio and Kansas have through their legislatures this week, ratified the amendment allowing sufferage to women. The doctors are now claiming that good beer is essential in the treatment of certain cases. They fail to state that it is very detrimen tal in thousands of eases and excedingly injurious to millions of per sons it allowed to form the habits. If prohibition is to prove successful, it must prohibit all alcoholic drinks. 0 BONDS DEFEATED. The Times regrets beyond expression the defeat of our bond election fast Saturday. This failure to carry bonds for the purpose of building a court house for Barrow County and to make permanent highways is to be deeply regretted by every progressive citizen, and by every man who possesses county pride andwishes his comity to rank with the leading counties of the State. The Times cannot believe our people fully understood the issue and realized its importance to the future growth and development of our aection, or they would not have been so indifferent as to fail to turn out and vote. There are some strange things happen in this worldl and this is one of them. But here’s hoping we may live long, proper roads or no roads, and it we are so iortutiate. after having neglected our duty, as to rearii that city when itissaid the si reels and highways are paved with gold, we will suffer some compunction of conscience for not having better ones down here when the < pporfunity was offered and rejected 0 HAVE ANOTHER ELECTION. If Ordinary Hill will call another election we feel there will lie no doubt as to tiie result. Our people were busy and had not thought over the matter, many thought there would he enough votes polled to carry bonds without going out themselves and remained at home to work. If another election is called they will realize the necessity and im portance of going out to vote and will feel enough interest in the re sult to turn out. This is too important a matter to give up, hut an other election should be ordered and every voter become interested and go to.work. ; —* —0 The ultimatum sent to the Hermans on last Monday with the new treaty demands a “yes” or “no” by .Tune 2drd, and if the answer is “no,” the armistice will he declared off and the allied armies will pro ceed to invade Germany. The terms are so much more in accord with justice and wright than would have been the ease had (Jermany been victorious, there is little doubt as to that nation siguing the treaty. The Republican Senators are fighting the league of nations purely from political reasons and to try and elect a republican president next year. The way a few professed democrats are fighting the league of nations it seems that they are anxious to have the republicans win. What about such democracy? 0 Those who profess to know predict that prices on all products will continue high for several years. 0 FRIENDS. Robert Louis Stevenson says “friends are the end and reward of life.” and he asks this question: “Of what shall a man he proud if he is not proud of his friends?” One of the sadest and most pathetic trials in the life of a man is when sorrow, misfortune or calamity comes to him and there is no friendly hand, no word <>f cheer, no line of sympathy, and he can only feel theerushing weight of the bitterest of all thoughts to the human heart, “friendless and forgotten.” Having been confined in a hospital for the past three weeks, the ap preciation of friends and their many acts of kindness have caused me more than ever in my life to realize the real meaning of friendship and what it is worth to one during hours of loneliness and suffering. The flowers, the kindly visits and the letters of cheer and sympathy during those long and tiresome days, made the editor of The Times feel that lie was not forgotten and that he had friends who still re membered. The following lines picked up somewhere, so beautifully express how my heart feels to those many friends, 1 cannot restrain the de aire to quote them : I’d like to be tbe sort of friend that you have been to me, I’d like to be tbe help that you've been always glad to be, I’d like to mean as much to you each minute of tbe day As you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along tbe way. I’d like to do the big things and tbe splendid things for you, To brush the gray from om your skies and leave them only blue; I’d like to say the kind things that 1 so oft have heard, And feel that 1 could rouse yours oul tbe way that mine you’ve stirred. I’d like to give you back tbe joy that you have given me, Vet that were wishing you a need I hope will never be; I’d like to make you feel as rich as 1. who travel on Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to lean upon. I’m wishing at this very time that I could but repay A portion of the gladness that you’ve strewn along my way. And could I have one wish this day, this only would it be; I’d like to be tbe sort of friend that vou have been to me. 0 President Wilson will begin a tour of the United States immediate ly on his return from Europe in defense of tbe work of the peace con ference to place the league of nations issue before the people. It is unfortunate for America and the world at large that the president is forced to pursue this policy. There ought not to have been any nec essity for doing this as every man, woman and child should have gladly stood by him and endorsed his course. The great consolation, however, is that an overwhelming majority of the American people will stand by the president. The crop reports from over Georgia are not very encouraging and the same is true from over the entire South. 0 DISGUSTING AND DISGRACEFUL. From Atlanta Journal. If there was ever a doubt of the President’s sagacity in keeping his own counsel, instead of advising with Republican Senators, on pro blems of grave international concern, it has vanished in the glare of what the last few days at Washington have disclosed. The Borahs and Lodges themselves have given proof irrefutable that the President was well warranted, and that in justice to the nation’s vital stake in the cause of peace lie dared not take them into his confidence. These Senators have shown a garrulity which would besort well enough with a crowd of scolding - fish-wives, but which ill becomes “the greatest deliberative assembly in the world.” Bad temper and execrable taste, however, are the least of their offenses. They have carried their pygmy poli ics and their spleen against the President so far as to compromise the honor of the United States Government and to bring about a situation w hich conceivably might disrupt or break down the long-labored efforts of the world’s highest statesmanship to effect a just and durable peaee. They have forced into publication a provisional draft of the peace treaty, which America’s spokesman at Versailles promised, in agree ment with the Allied governments, should not he given out. The Re publicans sought to create the impression, moreover, that the Presi dent was conniving at some secret scheme. The fact is, as the publish ed document plainly sli ws, there was no faintest lingo of anything of the sort. The terms set forth in that tentative paper are substantially the same as those indicated inpreviouusly published abstracts of the proposed treaty. But for the very reason that they were tentative ra ther than final in all details, the Allied statesmen deemed it wise to de fer full publication ; indeed, they insisted upon the point, and the Pre sident naturally acquiesced. In thus tearing tlie unfinished treaty from diplomatic channels where it belongs and where our responsible representatives had pro mised il should remain, the Republican Senators have embarrassed the Government at a critical jumicture, without serving any useful or de fensible purpose whatsoever. They have done the very thing which our friends, Fiance and Great Britain, asked not be done, and which (lermany, witli her sinister propaganda still active, lias been doing her utmost to accomplish. They have opened a way to popular misap prehension of the peace terms and to popular dissatisfaction with them. They have committed a breach of international courtesy which, at least is calculated to chill the cordial relations which have obtained between us and our associates in the great task of defending freedom add establishing a secure world order. All this they have done in play ing a game of partisanship too trilling for the smallest puddle of politics in which a ward-boss ever dabbled. The Cost.
