Are you fully recovered from the sus
pensc_,aud_lhe anxiety of waiting for
election xiéws?
by ————————
And now we want to know whether
the ‘democrats are still in control of
Alie ‘lower house in Congress. Last
reports have an even break.
Wednesday's Atlanta Constitution
had a warm congratulatory message
to Charles E. Hughes. Tall guessing
that, dnd the pity of it all was that it
Was a miss fire,—or better, a shot that
missed the mark. The Constitution
“HHEE been trying fo find ifself ever
gince that blunder.

This week's election news in the
weeklies told of Wilson's victory long
before it was an assured fact. Guess
ing is good when it hits the mark. And
why not allow the weeklies such li
cense when the bull dog editions of
the dailies are always at such stunts?
One of the candidates for mayor of
(‘ordele has promised to help those
who would celebrate the victory after
the vote is counted November 21,—
provided of course, that things go
right. We ought to have a word from
the othier two along this line. The
joy makers might want to know.
Now for the next political event,—
naming a mayor and three members
of the city council of Cordele. Is
there anything on the political calen
dar between now and then? Don'l
try to say any faction is trying to do
this or that, Think of the whole city.
We are not to admit that a city fac
iion could do anything.
wenleople of Cordele and Crisp coun
-ty will be able to appreciate the work
of the county commissioners on the
? Hoad to Abbeville and Fitzgerald. This
is now a splendid thoroughfare and i
is more valuable for the reason that
it is our link of a highway that ex
tends for many miles. Our lazy old
merchants and business men ought t«
extend a warm hand to the commis:
sioners for this good work. It makes
it easier for Cordele shopping from
the east.
Have you tried to find out who is
responsible for our failure to get all
those circuses that have gone by?
City officials have denied that it is
their fault. The good circus is a
mighty good thing in circus time. But
The l)ispul('l{ is not going to lay the
blame on local city officials any more.
To do that often \3()111(\ require a bat
tery of machine guns and a war zone.
We have no disposition to go to war
NEW HANDS WERE JOINED.
The unexpected occurred in the
election of Tuesday,—something that
has never come out of a national po
litical contest. The farmer of the
west joined hands with the farmers
of the south and the union of inter
esis sent President Wilson back for
another term. In the meantime Wal
street was eliminated. The money in
terests put up one of the hardest fights
in all the history of this country and
made a most desperate effort to again
dominate.
The producer this time out gen°r
aled the boss. It was a close enough
election to reveal that the manufac
turing and trading centers along
with the money centers of the coun
try have interests in common that de
not run with the interests of the ag
ricultural classes. It was the occupa
tion of a people—of a section—that
sep it over against another section.
The fact that the interests of the
west and the south could be brought
together in this national contest is a
hopeful thing for the farmers of the
country.
Our democratic administration has
deserved returning to another four
year term. It was not a matter of
giving Wilson a second term simply
because that is a custom. National
issues now at stake, and at stake for
the past two years require that the
man at the helm remain there until
the conflict is over. Wilson has prov
en conservative in tl;e matter of en
iering war if he has done anything to
deserve attention and he can be trust
ed,
Those who clamored for war for
political effect find the country did
not want it either in Mexico or in the
world conflict. Wilson had found out
ahead of the republicans that the coun
try did not want war. He had de
cided on a course that made him
stronger. His administration has
heen approved .
Wilson is putting his party ahead
of political adversaries for almost a
generation. His disposition of great
‘sgues has made it possible for demo
sratic power to he felt. Policies have
heen modernized and views have been
brought up to date until the demo
~rats find themselves dressed in new
;arty clothes that fit mighty well.
They have done so well the past four
vears that republican opposition has
lwindled and the effort has been
nade to go before the peeple in the
‘ampaign just closing with both par
jes supporting many principles al
most the same,
Wilson is sure to hold the strength
f the democrats to where it will be
;ossible to enter another campaign
m an equal fighting basis and in the
neantime the close results will in
aure good government.
OUR FINE ENTHUSIASM.
Friday night’s demonstration of loy-
Ity to the winner of the national con
est could not have been a more uni
ersal one. It was a demeocratic af
air,—a party event, anfi a southern
nanifestation of pride in the results
f fhe election far greater than this
‘ttle city has”ever known.
It was the first time most of us ever
00k occasion to celebrate. It was
he second time in a generation such
_..E‘_.EX"“‘ has been possible for ’gquk
M our political faith. It was one ol
he rarest of opportunities and we
nade the most of it. We were proud
{f the election results and we showea
hat in a proper spirit.
“Celebrate With Us,” on a little
odger distributed at noon gave the
vord and from all directions people
warmed down town. When the red
ights burned and the whistles sound
d it was a signal for the finest man
festation of happiness that could have
ceurred.
Young and old alike celebrated Wil
on's election and we veénture the as
ertion that no southern or- western
ity had better evidence of real en
husiasm. Everybody was glad and
.obody refrained from showing it.
CREDIT TO BRYAN.
In the far west the man who could
.ever carry the democrats to victory
hough he tried with all the powers
f a seeming great man, this time got
a his work for Wilson almost unher
lded. Although quitting Wilson in
e thick of a great fight, William J.
‘rvan worked in the west hard and
mg. He went himself and organized
nd talked, and talked and organized
sith faith, Last Tuesday the ;vest
esponded and Bryan gave to democra
y an abundant account of his loyalty
nd to Wilson he gave a service that
hould in a manner repay the national
sader for the desertion in the midst
f the conflict with Germany.
The eftort of Bryan will not be for
otten by any of the democratic lead
rs. He will have an expression of
ep appreciation from party leaders
v his work counted in a time when
was needed. Bryan did his cam
vigning in the west alone and almost
ngle handed. It will later be shown
hat where Bryan worked and or
iz d the democratic state bodies in
vilsen's interest, there the President
wade new conquests. We will re
iember Bryan. :
WHERE LABOR SUFFERS
Last week some assassin (if such
{fenders are properly to be termed
rssassins) placed dynamite under a
treet car in Atlanta and blew it into
:mithereens. When the wreckage
iropped and the noise and confusion
lied away the groans of a half-dying
oung woman, the daughter of a min
ister, came on, the night air to tell of
the terrors of such lawlessness, She
was maimed for life and the father
gitting at her side in the car had to
witness all of this and bear the suffer
ings of his wounded child as best he
could without ever knowing who com
mitted the crime.
This was an outcome of the street
car strike in Atlanta, It was the
work of some one pretending to be
fighting the fight of labor against cap
ital. It was a criminal, whatever his
motive, and his deed will be charged
against organized labor, not in At
lanta alone, but all around the world,
The most ignorant person might be
accredited with better common sense.
In Russia it would be called anarchy.
In this country no lawlessness can
be termed worse and thinking people
will not sympathize with organized
lahor. v
Organized labor will deny respon
sibility, but responsibility cannot be
shifted so lightly. If organized labor
takes the strike route to what is term
ed justice in the way of pay for hon
est toil, then organized labor should
rightly be blamed with the injury done
in maintaining a 'strike. The strike
route is the poorest way to a just re
muneration. It gets the strikers
nothing but such awful consequences
as thoge following in the wake in At
lanta. Labor cannot tolerate such
methods. If it has a member that ap
proves, then the world will turn its
back on that member of organized la
bor and class him with the anarchist,
Labor cannot afford to pay such a
price for its rights. It can get them
‘without the sacrifict of the lives of
i innocents.
i That is a sorry aspect for organized
labor in Atlanta and the laboring man
does not deserve to have such ter
rible murder laid at his door. He
loesn’t want it and must help to drive
‘he criminal of this character from
has ranks. As longas he keeps com
nany with the assassin his rights will
of necessity be in jeopardy.

SANS FELICE CIGARS ARE
s¢c STRAIGHT AND WORTH IT
Owing to the greatly increased cost,
of quality tobaccos, in fact everything
pertaining to high grade cigars, the
makers of the San Felice cigar, The
Deisel-Wemmen Company, have ad
vanced the selling price to the Job
bers and Dealers, and henceforth this
cigar will positively be sold to the
consumer at 5 cents straight instead
of six for a quarter as previously.
The San Felice is national in its
scope and character, having justly at
tained this eminence through its un
equaled standard of quality, the ad
vance in question is absolutely un
avoidable. The generous support of
all men using quality cigars is earn
estly desired.
