Howard Thompson, ol‘ Gainesville, is being mentioned from all parts of the 9th congressional district as a candidate to represent our people in the next year’s election. Col. Thompson as U. S. Marshal has done loyal service for the government and the voters all over the district appreciate his efforts, and if he should decide to enter the race he will be a formidable can .tidate and one that will he strong before the people. Congressman Hill has not yet signified his intention as standing for renomination, but will no doubt let it be known in a short while. DANGERS IN THE TREATY DELAY, AND HOPES FOR RATIFI CATION Senator Underwood, of Alabama, cogently warns his colleagues that present suspense over the Treaty of Peace is curtailing our export trade to such an extent that the losses soon will be felt by the cotton farmer of the South, the wheat farmer of the West and the manufac turers and laborers of the North.” There are higher reasons than thus e of mere business why the Treaty tangle should be disposed of, but there is none which for tiie time being come so forcefully home to so large a number of the Amer ican people. National honor and theplainest obligations of internation al friendship demand that the United States he spared the odium of abandoning her associates in the war for freedom, abandoning them St t a critical juncture of world affairs, and making a separate peace with the Sun. National interest and the plainest dictates of humane conscience urge that this Republic do its part in efforts to prevent fu ture wars and to foster good-will among nations. Rut aside from these considerations, which some gentlemen of the Senate dismiss as moonshine, stands a fact which the most material istic and most cynical of them all cannot deny or ignore Senator Un derwood has stated it well. Delay on the Peace Treaty is hurting business at a vital point, and if ratification is deferred much longer, producers and workers in every region of America will suffer in conse quence. Though the armistice came more than thirteen months ago wc are still in "a state of war.” still at sea as to our foreign policy. The world waits to sec what America will do, and America waits upon the Senate. It is a dubious and a hazardous state of affairs. It aggravates ev ery trouble attendnt upon a crucial transition—the restlessness, the anxiety, the instability of a time like this. There would be difficulties enough, even had the Treaty issue been settled months ago; hut there would he satisfaction in knowing that they were of the kind unavoid able and that everything possible to promote readjustment had been done. This is the least the country’s business intrests are due, and the least the Senate in good faith can render. There are cheering omens that the period of obstruction and delay is near an end. Not only from Washington, but from Paris and Lon don as well, come intimations that events are ijuiotly shaping for an agreement on the Treaty points in controversy. May these good hopes have early fruitage, for upon their fulfillment depend the material welfare no less than the natianal prestige of America, and the happi ness of all he world.—Atlanta Journnl. SMALLER FARMS MEAN PROGRESS (The Walker County Messenger.) Practically every newspaper today carries large advertising space m which are display notice of land sales. Large tracts are being di vided up and sold at auction. Real estate values have soared within the past six months to a point never dreamed of before. This* movement to divide large tracts of lands and sell on terms within the reach of the average man, is one of the host signs of the times. One of the curses of any section or county, is the tenant sys tem. When a man buys a piece of land he at once becomes a better citizen, lie is more interestd than heretofore, in good roads, good schools, good churches, better legislation; in fact, he is interested in every phase of progress. The large farms in this county should he divided into smaller farms, and efforts should be made to get the various sections more thickly settled. It will mean more wealth, more progress and happier people. Let the movement spread to every section of Walker county, and may the day soon come, when every man will feel the responsibility of citizenship. • GETS MONEY AND GETS CAUGHT.
