EDITORIALS S Wisconsin and Her Primary— Why is there no Democratic party in Wisconsin? A few years ago the Demo cratic party of the State became literally and legally extinct with out votes enough to qualify for a place on the primary ballot. It ij a little better now, but when a major national party is beaten 20 to 1, and falls behind even the Socialists, it is no longer a significant factor. Any primary law has some tendency to minimize the mi nority party. But the Wiscon sin primary law greatly magni fies the tendency. Because, under it, the voter of any party may vote secretly in the primary of the other party, there is a natural stampede into the primary where the chief contest is. The result is that the minority party ceases to exist, and the majority party ceases to be a party. ¥ ¥ ¥ Mussolini and Jefferson— The daring Mussolini has cast to the winds another cardinal principal of democratic govern ment. Local councils in all towns under 5000 will be replaced with a commissioner appointed by royal decree —which in Italy means Mussolini’s decree. Mussolini’s aim seems to be to build up a strong centralized government, which supervises the police powers in the smaller towns. Early in the history of this republic, Thomas Jefferson fought with all his power against such an idea- Later history has proved that in general he was right. It is doubtful if Mussolini can yet prove Jefferson was wrong. # x. * Sacrificing Weight For Speed— You can not have the utmost possible of one thing without sacrificing something else. That is the reason why the steamship Lexington, the new airplane carrier of the navy, is the swiftest big ship, armed or unarmed, afloat. The Lexing ton was started as a big cruiser, and then, under the Washington conference agreement, trans formed into a plane carrier. As such, it does not have to be heavily armored, nor to carry heavy guns and emplacements. The extra weight can go into engines and driving power. The Lexington does not light with guns, and car. run away from vessels that do fight with them, or can be defended by other such vessels. * * * A Disappointed Reporter— A Washington newspaper re lates how Dr. Jason Noble Pierce, pastor of President Cool idge’s church, told his congrega tion that building inspectors had declared parts of the church un safe. The reporter then goes on to say: “If the pastor’s remarks aroused any apprehension in the president's party it was not dis cernible, Neither the chief ex ecutive nor Mrs. Coclidge was outwardly moved." We suppose the reporter ex pected Mr. Coolidge to hop right up and say : “Come on, Grace, let’s get out of here before the church falls down.” We can’t imagine President Coolidge becoming excited over anything—not even if the roof did fall. • • W Balloon Trousers — Siegfried in a sack suit is the latest stunt in Europe’s modern ization of ancient operas and plays. er. The sack suited Siegfried will appear in a Moscow Art The ater. Hamlet appeared in knickers at a London theater ' A THOUGHT i - _• He disappointeth the device, of the ■ crafty so that their hands cannot ; preform their enterprise.— Job 5: 12, 13. To accuse the Wicked and defend the wretched is an honor.— Cicero. recently. Thank goodneds, America isn’t so modern. If it were, Wal ter Johnson might have pitched his world series games in balloon trousers. At one time we were inclined to say a thing or two about male knickers, but with the advent of those unsightly, ungainly, flip pety-floppety balloons has caus ed us to sigh for more knickers —for the males, of course. ¥ ¥ ¥ The Alien Was Right— An applicant for naturaliza tion at Grand Rapids, Mich-, was rejected because in answer to question as to the duties of the vice president, he replied: ’’The vice president? Why, he don’t do nothing.” Apparently the late Tom Mar shall couldn't have been vice president if he had had to pass a naturalization examination. * * * Gasoline Dividends — “Cash dividends paid by the Standard Oil group for the third quarter of this year established a new high record for third-quar ter disbursements.’’’ says the New York Times- The total for the third quar ter this year was $34,899,348. It’s not out of order to suggest that some government agency find out whether the Standard group wouldn’t be able to make several million dollars a month if the price of gasoline were cut five cents a gallon. ¥ ¥ ¥ The Thrill of the Crowd— The thrill of a huge crowd! It was thrill that caused ancient Romans to build their big colis eum and to jam it full of people for every public event. The world today is far less barbarous than the Romans, but there’s hardly an American who doesn’t get a thrill out of a big crowd assembled for some big sporting event. The real thrill one gets out of watching the world series base ball games is not in the play, which often is ordinary, but in the crowd itself. There’s nothing else in the world quite like the real howl of cheers, shouts and general joy that comes from the crowd when a hit scores the winning run for the home team in the last of the ninth. Few persons would walk a block to see a world series if he were the lone spectator. The poorest show you ever saw was when the house was almost emp ty. It's the crowd. WSjsims Make a wish when you see the first star and it will come true, if you wish it hard enough. All wishes do that. ■■ ■t They say it took millions of years to make us what we are, and still the job is only started. Somebody robbed a loan office in St. Louise instead of a loan office in St. Louise robbing somebody. Texas editor refused to pay a SSO fine. Migghty hard, but he could make it back in ten or twenty years. Even knock knees are better than none. Couldn’t get your shoes off if you didn’t have any at all. . Most foreign countrise are fa mous for various articles, most of which are mdae in America Follow somebody and you fall in to their ruts. Wouldn’t it be fun if we planned [ for the future just as seriously as we regret the past? It take- a beautiful moon just i about three seconds to prove there are no germs in kisses. The old saying may be true, but most birds in the bush appear to be worth more than two in the hand. SAY,CALEB, KIN Y’ fe/ LEND Me Two DOLLARS NOT T*DAY, POf> fer a Few days ?

Oct. 15, 1915) Judge John A. Cobb returned last night to Americus after an extend ed and successful trip into several counties beyond Flint river where, with the representatives of the state, departments of agriculture and en tomology, they made several ad dresses bearing upon the boll weevil invasion of south Georgia, and the means to be employed in fighting this destructive pest. Genial Frank Hooper , upon whoes board shoulders the weight of three score (more or less) fleet ing autumn has worn but few grooves and ridges, is absorbing joy today in his dear old baliwick here. Mrs. Charles L. Ansley entertain ed the womans Literary Club in a charming manner Thursday after noon. Mrs. J. E. Hays, of Montezu ma addressed he club on Federa tion. TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From the Times-Recorder, Oct. 15, 1905.) Miss Nettie Hays and Mary Mc- Neill left yesterday for Atlana, where they will spend some time. While there was a gain of four or five points in value yesterday, spot cotton sold around the same figures as the day before. The ruling price was 9 1-4 cents, although fancy bales brought a quarter beter Re ceipts at Americus warehouse were 533 bales, making yesterday the final big day of the cotton season. EDITORIALS! <ll “Thou shalt not” is the language of the Decalogue. Repress the impulses of the flesh, of greed and of sloth. “Thou shalt” is language of Christ. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as hyself. Whatsover ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so un to them. Devote the impulse of self to the equal good of others. “Thou mayest” is the language of i the Neo-Freudianism, which seems to be taking the place of Chrisian ethics. Express yourself, especially in the things that have always been repressed. Freedom consists not merely in exemption from the rule of others, but in exercising no ’control over yourself. Seek “experience,” espe -1 daily forbiden experience. I Repress nothing; express every thing. And flout as “old fogy” those who would revive the inhibi tions, the prohibitions, the tabus. .“Thou shalt not” is out of date. It will wear out, of course, as ieverything does that is false, but a whole generation will pay the price. And the wages of sin have I not changed. MOVIES MADE TO FIGHT NAVIES I Do not be fooled into believing 'lout the new arm of the air has rendered obsolete the old arms of ( the surface. That is the newest cry jof the air fanatics. The best evidence is that no inaval power is considering doing fl way with, or curtailing, its surface 'fleet. All these authorities, to be sure, might be mistaken | But, even if We were convinced that their policy was wrong, there ( would still be no other course open to us but to follow in their mistake so long as they do. * Navies are made to fight navies.

WORLD COURT RESOLUTION UP From now until at least the sev enteencn of December, wnen tne world court resolution come up tor action in tne Senate, meetings [will be held all over the country to (urge favorable action. It is known that there .arg more ’ than enough votes in the Senate to pass the resolution, and it is demon strated that the articulate voice of American is by enormous prepond erance for the court. But the majority still needs the support of the hitherto inarticulate mass of the people in order to str : engthen its hand aganist the pos j sible victorious obstruction of the i minority.

To sluff through the things that you tackle each day is wrong, though of course it’s the easiest way. The little word, careless, means more than you think. To hardfelt disaster it’s often the link. You pay pretty dearly to things that are wrong. And things go that way when you blunder along. Tehre ne’er was a man who could really find fund in call ing tasks finished when only half done- And e’en though your carelessness rides without blame, the fact that you sluff’s on your mind, just the same. You may get away with it day after day, but add it all up and you’ll find it won’t pay. A check on yourself, by yourself, should be kep’. Shun carelessness always! Keep watching your ought not to be the only ones. ilie people are entitled to hear . the otner side also. In fact tney , ought especially to hear that. vvnen mere is such an overwhelm I ing preponderance of organized I opinion on one side, the burden of proof is on those who propose to 1 obstruct the policy thus favored co show why they are right, as aganist the majority. The senators who propose to vote I against adherence to the court i ought to be out on the stump now, , conducting an active campaign of i education of their constituents, j I Otherwise they will be leaving the | field to their opponents. They can not win converts by silence. If’ on full discussion, they can not win them by facts and argu ments, either, perhaps they might conclude that they were mistaken, and change their votes, or at least their obstructive tactics. At any rate, if a campaign of education is, to go on, both sides should <k> it. i In Africa they rub noses instead of shaking hands.
