Thursday Morning, MAR. 21, 1912. Georgia can raise many other valuable products besides cotton, and the world will see how it done this very year. Whether Clark, Harmon, Wil son or Underwood becomes the candidate of the Democratic par ty. if the anarchistic ravings of Bryan and Roosevelt are to he incorporated in its pL.tf- rm the J name of the candidate later will, lie “mud.” Congressman I). M. Hughes is j busy looking out. for the interests of his constituents in this neck | of the woods. His latest is a system of weather signals to be carried by the rural route men. j Mr. Hughes is keeping right up with the times. If there is no other reason for, nominating Woodrow Wilson than j the absurd declaration that his: rivals in the race for the nomina tion are a set of thugs and con spirators it is just as well to turn the old machine over to Ted Roosevelt and Bill Bryan. It develops that there is lots of j good congressional timber over! in the old Twelfth district from] which we were digged. Several I of our warm personal friends are about to get in the running, and it is a real relief to not be called on to choose between them. When so-called Democratic newspapers get through proving that the distinguished men who aspire to the presidency, and seek it through Democrat ic chan nels, art* a lot of blackleg con spirators, they will he in fine shape to help elect one of them. The outlawry at Hillsville, Va., in which a court was blotted out by the bullets of bandits is a sample of wJiat we may expect when the recall mania has de stroyed our courts and robbed our government of the very char acteristics that securs peace and justice. Besides offering for the senate, it is said that Hon. J. Randolph j Anderson of Chatham will he a candidate for the presidency of I that body. Asa law-maker and a parliamentarian Mr. Anderson ranks among the highest of those who have rendered efficient ser vice to the state. Kvery editor on the weekly! press of Georgia, and friends all over tlu state, will regret to learn of Kditor 0. F. Mcßae’s retire ment from journalism, according to notice in last week’s issue of the Telfair Enterprise. Georgia needs the influence of the press! when voiced by men of sterling character like Mr. Mcßae. According to reinirts from ; Fatonton, the hens in that vicin ity are about as hard to please as Democrats who are wrangling over a choice for president. They disdain to sit quietly under the kind of secluded sjnits usually chosen by prospective hen moth-j ers, and ride around with their hatch of eggs in buggies and au tomobiles. Speaking of the importation of potatoes from Scotland. Ireland and England, the Savannah News thinks it a shame that we have bought 6,000.000 bushels of po tatoes since Nov. Ist last, when the things will almost gnnv wild in this country. The main reason is that our farmers are worried with polities from morning till night, and just haven’t got time to think. sor 6 doses ‘ ’666” will cure any case of Chills and Fever.

Committee come together and change the date of primary to May Ist, the time of the presi dential primary. This will work a hardship on no one, and will enable to poll a representative ' vote for the choice of presiden tial nominees. Gainesville News:—Perhaps the ground hog was wise when by his conduct five weeks ago he prognosticated six weeks more of winter weather. Five-sixths of the period has gone by and t here has been only a day or so ; sandwiched in here and there of fair weather. Macon Telegraph:- The Au gusta Herald thinks there are too many elections. What is it going to do when a few initiative elections, referendum elections and recall elections are added to those we now have? ! Clinch County News:—A few more fish-ponds in and on our main streets, and Homerville would present a picturesque scene indeed. A wise council looks to the interest of its town and peo ple. Too late to howl after we are all dead with the fever. Pembroke Enterprise:— Looks like crops of all kinds will be un usually late this season, especial ly candidates. We fear our little county will not get in the early primal y class on account of the scarcity of candidates. Come forward and ask for the office, gentlemen, if you want it! Douglas Enterprise:— Both Randall Walker and Oscar Smith of Valdosta, want to wear Brant ley’s shoes, but Judge Parker thinks that they are well enough broken for him to slip his’n in them. Savannah Press:—Paris Temps says Roosevelt is a wrecker and j ] declares the Democrats are going to win the coming national fight. I Those Frenchmen are very far i seeing at times. i Adel News: —The News is glad, to see so many of the boys of the county joining the corn clubs and | hopes that each will strive to win the prizes offered. Berrien coun ty land can l>e made to yield about as much as any, with intelligent cultivation. Hawkinsville Dispatch-News:-- It seems hardly necessary to urge the farmers to reduce the cotton acreage this year. They will be forced to do this on account of the continuous rains, which have put them so far behind with their work that they won’t have time to plant and cultivate a big crop. Darien Gazette:—The state ex ecutive committee made a mis take in abandoning the county unit plan. There is one way out of this mess and that is to go to 1 the polls on May Ist and vote sol , idly for Underwood for president. He is the man for president, and Georgia should give him her vote.; Valdosta Times: —An Under wood Club has been organized in ! Atlanta, one in Savannah and one in Macon. There are other evi dences that the Underwood tide is rolling high. Reports from the j North indicate that Underwood is regarded as the safest man who has been mentioned for pres- 1 I ident. Madison Madisonian:—lf, after fifty years, the time has not ar , rived for a Southern candidate for president, when, in the name of goodness, will it ever come? 1 THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1912. THE FERMENT. Both American and English democracy are in a state of fer ment, but this is a message of hope to the English-speaking peoples. Democracy to he healthy must ferment. Stagnation is death. It is a curious fact, however, that in both the United States and England this fermentation is taking pla< e at a time when gov ernment is more representative I than it ever was before. Never in their whole history have the j English people had all the ma chinery of government so com pletely in their own hands as j they have now. Never before has government in the United States been more directly respon sive to public sentiment. The power of privilege over ex ecutives, legislatures and courts was never less. For the most part the old bosses have been de stroyed, and those who still exist are tempering their despotism with a very large measure of dis cretion. Take the situation at Albany as an example. For a year Tammany was in absolute control of both branches of the legislature and is still in control of the senate. Yet there has been no scandal. No legislation has been bought or sold. There has been no intimation that any • member had acted from corrupt motives. Ten years ago this would have seemed unbelievable and doubtless it would have been unbelievable. New York’s experience is the experience of all the other states. There is not one of them but has a better government than it had a decade ago. This is equally I true of the big cities. As for the government of the United States, there has unques tionably been less corruption un der the Taft administration than \ under any previous administra tion since the constitution was adopted, not excepting Washing ton’s. This is not because Mr. Taft is more'able or more honest or more alert than his predeces sors, hut because the opportuni ties for corruption have steadily diminished, and public opinion has been increasingly jealous, watchful and militant. Taking the United States as a whole we probably have the best government, city, state and na tional, that we have had since the beginning of the republic. For this reason alone the wave iof so-called radicalism can be regarded calmly and philosophi jcally. It is; only when democra cy is really sick that its fermen- I tations are to be viewed with ap i prehension. What is going on now is mere ]iy a clarification of public opin ion; when it is finished we shall be a more united people than we have ever been. New York World. The Only Safeguard. I It is estimated that there will be fully three million hales of cotton on the market September Ist, which means that the farm ; ers have got to reduce their acre age to the extent that the crop] this fall will be three million bales less than the average yield in order for the price to be above ten cents per pound. The farm ers should not be fooled by the recent rise in the price into l>e lieving that this little fluctuation will have any favorable bearing upon the price this fall. The on ly safeguard in the world the ' farmer has is to materially cut j I his cotton acreage this year and i plant more cprn, peas, peanuts, ! watermelons, sugar cane and po- ( ; tatoes, and raise more cows, I ; hogs, etc. As soon as it is defi nitely known among the specu lators that the farmers of the I south have taken this step to protect themselves, the price of j cotton will continue to climb 1 higher and remain there.—Laur ens Co.
