Would you have thought it! There's
a bil in the house which provides
that the president shall not leave
home during his termm of office, nor
shall he attend__to (_)}'l'ivigxl hum.s'
outside of Whshington. Now that the
work has bhecn finished at the peace
conference, do you suppose this
could ever in the world cause Presi
dent Wilson any concern or un
oasiness
We are not specially please that
Colu:nbus loses (C‘famp Benning by
the wholesale disposition of military
camp projects but it is a wise thing
to apandon all that military prepara
tion which appeared on the program
witle the war department was trying
1o retain the camp sites. Preparing
«or war is a bad business. Prepara
tion for peace is a better pursuit.
In peace we need no encampments
We had none of this before the war
with Germany and with a littie time
we made a very satisfactory showing
Let the military camps go back into
farms and wait till freedom is again
threatened. ‘
THE SENATORIAL BATHS
The Macon Telegraph: When the
rirst Wilson Administration entered
business at Washington 2 public
discussion was precipitated over a bit
of congressional extravagance in the
fitting of the Senate office building
with a system of baths that atforded
reminder of the traditional splendor
of the Romans, says the Charlotte
Observer. Not only were the baths of
magnificent equipment, but along
with them went a small army of
Smeasures” ind other attendants. It
wae found that the operation of these
magnificent baths was costing the
country at the rate ‘of $20,000 a vear.
The Democrats promptly cut out the
appropriations that had been provided
for maintenance of this public ¢x
travagance and closed the baths,
They had remained closed until the
Republicans came bz2ck into control
of the Senate. One of the first things
e Rt'puh“(':msvllui was to cause the
reopening of the institution. The
country, therefore, is now payving for
senatorial baths at the rate indicated.
The Republicans are great shouters
ior “economy” when they are on the
outside, but they ave “plutocrats” o
'.:10 highest order when thev get in.
THE FIGHTING BRITISH.
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig,
speaking in London the other day
about the puart the British soldier
played in the war, claimed for his
own that they won the war. He was
generous and said it was all right to
‘speak of the part the Allies took, but
‘l'('mimlml his hearers that the Britishl
had the brunt of the war for the last}
two years, |
In this he was right with the ex
ception of the last three months. The
British hore o tremendous part in the
the struggle even then, but during
that period every Allied soldier had
his face toward the battle front. A
six-undred mile battle line through
FFrance Llazed with the fire of Alliud‘l
gung. In that time British, Americans,
I'rench, Belgians, all struck wit.h‘
great fury. While the British wm'(el
entting in around Lille and muking!
deep plunges at St Quentin, 'l‘lml
Americans were pushing through the
Argonne, striking with frightful r'f-l
feet at the great Lille-Metz supply
line for the Germans. General (:unr-l
ard with a French fighting force u:;'
hrave as any of them was at the Hunn-l
time in the rer of Soissions beating |
back the last of the German I'l-‘
serves. [Mar to the north, the Belgians
reinforeed hy aother allied arnieg,
were driving the last of the enemy
from their own country. In that lhr(-uJ
months the world saw its ;',ruznv:.l‘
battle line quaver and bend and Ihm.Jl
hreak. The British were there, hruw»i
and dogged as they had heen from llluj
outset, but their triends were on the
lines hurling tons of steel and iron
into the ranks of a*demoralized and
broken cnemy.
American fighting forees tore into
the German defenges thit had heen
up to the time of their appearance on
the battle front supposed to be im
pregnabie. “Old [fickory”, the Thir
tieth divigion, made up of mountainecr
traops from North Caroling and Ten
nessee, gmashed the Hindenburg
lines at the first point, The Eighty-
Second went through the Kimheld-
Stelliung defenses with the Fainhow
and some rogulars in other American
divisions ip the Argonne and halted
i Sedan after reaching the Metz-
Suille Lvansnostadion: haesebdblae cnemy.
Along the Champaigne front Prussia
fost. the flower of her remaining
fighting forees to thae advancing
Amerieans,
The British best claim to fame and
glory lies in the resistance of the
furious assauls of March 21, 1918
when the former kaiser summoned
the newspaper men of the world to
witness the battlo. All the German
sower was concentrated against the
gritish and on the onslought represent
ol the the best fighting effort of
Drussia. Inoall history ng greater
novshalling of man power had ever
ceured. [t fell to the British to with
tand it. One whole British ;ll‘lll,\'%
yus destroyed in the effort zmd;
id many a hrave Briton tlinrli
defending Flanders ields, but the
mewy never reached the sea. ;\l}
vioun! Kemmel and ip the valleys|
wound, the British 2dmimistered ll‘
tinging defeat which amounted to u?
tall of this super-German drive. 'l‘h:n‘
troke o weakened the (:t'l'lllil!li
amics that the great advances of the
\llles from August till .\'u\'.-mlu-lg
cllowing becime possible. “
The civilized world will not 500 N
orget how the British fought \\’illi!
their “hack to the wall.” That ~=lr:m|l
f two yvears which lingered in lh:'i
nind of ield Mirshall Haig \\a:-i
areat Britain's severest test. Was
.ovital periad, not only tor lhc"‘
gritish, but for all ninkind lx\mg‘]
mder a tlag ol treedom :
IFFrance had held the enemy at Vel .
dun after the first battle of the Murne
and was staggering to a lnw'(‘w:\:ll".g
rest. The British must hold out
wgainst concentrated fighting forces)
of German and Austria, iuvlmlim:;
hese brought from the Russian xrnm:
mtil the American forces could come
Haig may well and traly tell xhug
gritish that their forces won the \\‘ill“!
for had they failed under the strain
i March, 1918, all would hive been
tost, Well may their leader remember !
those anxicus days with great *pride;
ior today he lives in the unnu«-iuu\-;;
ness that German imperialism is :xl‘
thing of the past. The proud mil t_n.\u‘
hoast of the enemy in Flanders that!
Varch day has been humbled so lm\'l_\;
that a Prussian shall never rise to
repeat it, Haig and his veterans know
that,—and the brave Britons who re
main “in Flanders Fields,” went to
the death cheerfully and rightly in the
belief that it would finish the career
of a powerful enemy nation.
This is the First British claim that
has come to our attention. If it honors
the British who made that stand, let
it remain forever unchallenged!
A BAD BLUNDER l
Atlanta Constitution: i
In reporting favorably the ne,gativei
resolution intended to put the g('n-‘
aral assembly of Georgia on record
hefore the country as the first statc!
legislative body in the United Stutes!
to oppose ratification of the fm]eralg,
suffrage amendment, the house andj
senate congtitutional amendment
tommittees last Monday united in the
commission of a bad blunder. i
Kither house may yet rectify thel
mistake to a certain extent by t;..!
bling the resolution or by fm‘gettingg
it; but nevertheless Larm has he(eni
done, a 4 blunder committed, and, as zn%
great man once said, “a blunder i.‘:!
worge than a crime.” : i
Despite the fact that the house com-!
mittee had hefore it a telegram t‘mmi
Homer S. Cummings, chairman of
the national democratic r:mumit.tm-,}
urging the legiclature of Georgia l()i
refrain from precipitate adverse
action upon the ratification issue, on’
the ground that for the general as
sembly of the keystone democratic
state of the south in a spirit of vin-]
dictiveness to kill a proposal to mtif_v!
the federal amendment at this tim("
and under exisiting conditions wnuld%
Jeopardize democratic success in nif
least half o dozen doubtful states in
the presidential election next ‘vnur.i
the committee went ahliead blindly,
closed its eyes to reason and ex
pediency, and did the very thing it
should not have done, and the very
(hing the head of its party organi
zation in the nation cautioned it
against doing.
This was not a question that in
any meausure involved the issue of
woman suffrage; it was a question
lwlmlly of political expediency. And
;whull.‘" of politiean expediency. And
the resolution that brough it hefore
3lhe legislature was introduced in the
house by a man who proposed a
measure with the sole and express
;wl purpose of killing it a procedure
without parallel in the history of
democratic legislation.

knocking at our door, asking for ad

2 geod investment for Cordele busi
lllnfls men to go down in their pock

MAKING MORE FRIENDS

And now comes Biily Oshorne, of
Savannah, with a would-be contribu
tioii to the cause of the Republicans
and friends of Germany in the Son
ate in which he dencunces the League
cf Nations as “Ildealism run mad.”
Leorgians have not forgotten Mr. Os
herne and his part in state and muni
ciple polities. It is such men as thig
that make the public hungry for a
little more idealism and a little less
maievialism in our public men. More
viid more we love the idea of the
League of Nations for the enemies
who speak out against it.
DOING BABY ACT

Our friends in Atlanta can fight the

doing the baby act. The covert threat
te take Mercer University and Wes

state’s capital savors of silliness. It
is well enough to remember in this
connection that. an effort to yemove
Mercer to Atlanta was made: a . few
