Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, Sept, 5, 1912.
We hope soon to be hearing
from the Boys’ Corn Clubs.
Georgia has a new State Dem- j
ocratic Executive Committee, J
wherof we are proud.
.—«.——» —— ...
So far as wo can remember,
there is but one more big political
thing to do now —elect Woodrow
Wilson.
Cole Blease says all South Car
olina newspapers are great, liars.
They have, at least, let the world
have a few facts about Blease.
When our farmers do more fall
and winter plowing we will hear
less of bugs and worms that de
vastate the crops. And there
will be more in the crops.
if Boh White must be killed it
will not inconvenience him much
to pass in his checks on Thanks- j
giving day, the game law having j;
beoii changed to allow the execu
tion to take place ten days earlier j
than before.
Don’t let politics interfere with
your determination to sow a big
oat crop this fall, for the salva
tion of the farming interests <le-j
ponds upon it. And don’t take
up with the idea that next Feb
ruary will be plenty time enough
to sow them.
Georgia needs a tax law far
more than a game law; but the
average legislator is afraid of
any movement for any real n -
form. There is but one thing
that interests him more than
breaking into the legislature
staying in.
There is wonderful power in
co-operation and just combina
tions for legitimate ends are all
right: but, after all, the safety
and good order of society depends
upon the individual citizen. His
individuality either raises or
lowers the scale of living.
The opening of the Brewton-
Barker Institute for the fall term
hereon Tuesday last was an event
of far more importance to this
section than the opening of the
Panama Canal will lie. The big
school will boost this section if
this section boosts the school.
Big increases in hank clearan
ces all over the country are not*
worth shucks to the fellow who!
is merely sitting on the fence to
see prosperity marching by. If
your farm and your town and
community do not share in the
upward push wherefore doth it
profit you?
Ah. boy and girl, on the Brew
t >n-I*arker Institute campus to
d i.y, if you could only see those
tilings that make for the success
of your future, life, how busy
you would be. Millions have
threaded the obstacles of life’s i
ha/y pathway with no such op-!
portunities as you have today.
The adverse seasons of the 1
early part of this year will only j
add a stimulus to the efforts of i
our farmers next year. As two
extremely good years scarcely
ever come in succession, it is
true that tWo had crop years
do not come together. These ad-;
verse years should only arouse
us to better methods in planting
and cultivation.
Pembroke Enterprise:—The
next Legislature will contain
several newspaper men. It is
said that they will make a deter
mined effort to got through tlut
bill* allowing them to swap adver
tising for frts. 1 passes. Most of
the newspaper men generally get
what they go after, and should
they make this attempt we feel j
sure they will"succeed, i

Americus Times-Reeorder:
Ben Tillman said and did some
pretty hard things when he went
on the stump in early political
life, but Blease was too much for
his stomach. And “Old Ben’’
could pretty near stomach any
thing.
Waynesboro Banner: —Receiv-
ing over 100,000 votesoutof 150,-
000 cast, over two distinguished
opponents, is a record that John
M. Slaton and his friends may
well be proud of and which will
go down in history as having
never before been attained and
not likely to be equaled again in
1 (Jeorgia.
Savannah Press: The United
Suites government has refused
to pay for a cow lost in the Miss
issippi flood. Every Mississippi
river bottom cow should he Uiught
to swim.
Vidalia Advance: We are glad
to see that the voters did the
( right thing over in Dodge county
and elected Hon. C. M. Methvin
to represent them in the next
legislature.
Macon Telegraph: Gradually
Japan is taking on American
ways. It will cost $1,000,000 to
bury the late Emperor, thus set
ting a mark which our Congress
men will have to reach before
they lay a deceased mem tier away
properly.
Valdosta Times:- From all over
the state come comments result
ing from the late primary that
the county unit system should be
abrogated and the popular ma
jority should be substituted there
for.
Laurens Co. Herald:—Mr. Sla
ton was the easiest winner ever
sent to the governor’s chair in
Georgia. Inasmuch as the Geor
gia brand of politics is famous
for its surprises this last comes
as the greatest surprise of all.
Darien Gazette:—The legisla
ture, when it convenes the com
ing summer, should provide for
four year terms for all officers,
state and county. There is no
good reason why this should not
be done.
. HawkinsvilleDispatch-News:—
I The Atlanta Journal is still try
ing with all it might and main to
convince the people of Georgia
that Gov. Brown is a poor execu
tive, but it has undertaken a job
that it will never accomplish.
Governor Brown may have made
some mistakes but his record
along this line will show up as!
well as any other governor the
state has ever had, and the peo
ple still have faith in his honesty,
integrity and ability.
Monroe Advertiser:—John M.
Slaton was elected governor, not
because he was a Joe Brown man. j
He was elected governor because
his public career had been clean,
intelligent, faithful: because he;
made a decent, quiet, sensible j
and yet energetic canvass for the
office.
Perry Home Journal:- The very I
best thing in the state-wide ap
plication of the Georgia primary!
last week was the splendid en- 1

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, SEPT. 5. 1012.
1 Another Arrival At
i
Judge Russell’s Home.
Atlanta, Aug. 29. Bulletins
I brought back from the town of
Russell by Col. Walter R. Brown
| today announce the arrival of a
ten-pound daughter at the home
of J idge and Mrs. R. B. Russell.
Col. Brown was a little mixed in
his figures and could not remem
: her whether the new arrival was
No. 1G or No. 17, but he was con
fident it was somewhere around
that number.
Judge Dick Russell has for
several years been famous for
his support of Col. Roosevelt’s
anti-race-suicide policies, demo
crat though he is. In fact, Sam
P. Blythe wrote a short time ago
that Judge Russell and his chil
dren paid a visit to the county
fair and stopped in front of a
booth where a two-headed calf
was on exhibition for the small
sum of one dime or ten cents.
‘ How much for the party.”
asked Judge Dick, according to
Blythe.
“Is them all your children.”
returned the show spieler.
Dick acknowledged the im
peachment.
“You jes' wait a minute,” said
the showman, “I’m goin’ to bring
out the calf and let him look at
you.”- Macon Telegraph.
Was Time to Quit.
Several years ago a Missourian
moved out to Eastern Colorado
and took a homestead, says the
Kansas City Journal. Things
looked pretty good out in that
country when he located, but the
next season turned off dry and
windy. He hung on, hoping for
a change, but the second year
was worse than the first. He
had a notion to leave, but finally
decided to stick one more year.
The third year, which was the
last season, was the worst of the
three. He hitched up a team of
poor mules he still had left, got
his family into an old wagon and
started treking eastward. Finally
he met a friend who had known
him before he left Missouri, who
asked him why he was coming
back.
“Well,” said the Missourian.
“1 stayed out in that blamed
country till my salivary glands
dried up, and I says to myself,
‘Durned if 1 propose to stay in a
country where I can’t spit.’
Collector Wanted.
Wanted young man to assist
on collections this fall, at $40.00
per month and expenses, to start
with. Splendid future. No bond,
but references required. Must
furnish team. Address
J. M. Bonner,
Glenwood, Ga.
Money to Loan.
I represent some of t he heat loan
companies doing business in
Montgomery county, and can se
cure loans for a term of five years
at a very small rate of interest.
| Commissions charged are small,
and parties desiring to negotiate
loans in Montgomery or Toombs
counties will save money by seeing
me before making application
elsewhere. M. B. Calhoun,

DEMOCRACY MUST BE
A WORTHY INSTRUMENT
People Trust It. Says Woodrow
Wilson, and It Must
Make Good.
Sea Girt, N. ,T. —Woodrow Wilson at
the “Little White House” at Sea Girt
la daily called upon to demonstrate hla
ability as a ready speaker.
There is not a day passes but what
he meets various delegations who call
j to assure him of their support.
In speaking of political machines to |
the Brooklyn Democratic club Cover- j
nor Wilson said: “Machines are bad, j
but an organization may be very es- j
sential. For instance, I have been j
surrounded by an organization here In |
i \ew Jersey while doing my best work. !
A machine uses its political opportu- j
nities for the selfish ends of its mem- I
i bers. No members of our organization :
I would ever think of doing that. Pub- j
lie opinion In New Jersey has drawn
the distinction. It has killed the ma- i
chines, and it Is going to keep the or- j
ganlzation going.
“It seems to me that we are stand- I
ing in the presence of something high- j
er than allegiance to The Democratic I
party. The country has been disap- j
pointed in the Republican party, and it j
is turning to the Democratic party. 1
That party is willing to show the way I
toward those things which must be j
realized.
“Some gentlemen seem to find It [
easy to make personalities out of poll- j
tics, but It seems to me that whenever
that Is done politics is debased.
"Men who are In search of reform
are now resorting to the Democratic
party, because, for my own part, I do
not know where else they will turn to
expect the results. There is no dis
counting the strength and serviceabil
ity of a united party, and the splendid i
part is that the Democratic party Is
united.
“Speaking seriously, nothing affords
me more genuine pleasure than to re
ceive such greetings from men in Jer
sey who have at least tested my quali
ties. Because you have known me
at close range and If you will be kind
enough to vouch for me perhaps the
rest of the country will be credulous
of your report.
“I have spent a great deal of time
since I became governor of New Jer
sey defending your character. It was
supposed in the old days, when the
board of guardians was in charge of
the state, that you were all of you
•disposed to give the most monopolis
tic trusts in the country a great ring
ing welcome in New Jersey.
“New Jersey was known as the
mother of trusts—a very troublesome
and questionable family—and I had to
spend my time outside New Jersey as
suring the people of the Union that It
had not been the fault or the disposi
tion of the people of New Jersey that
there were certain gentlemen who had
| undertaken to carry the Republican
| party in their pockets and to adminis
ter independently of the rank and file
of Republicans in the state.
“New' Jersey is progressive, but the j
United States is progressive, and we j
have here merely a delightful sample J
of the people of the United States.
“Now, these people are not bent on I
destroying anything, but they are bent |
on setting everything in order; they
j are bent upon justice; they are bent
J upon seeing to it that the people In
I general are partners of the govern
j ment, as I was trying to show the
other day. And the Democratic party
is now placed under a peculiar respon
sibility. It has to prove that it is
the worthy instrument of that zeal on
the part of the people of the United
States. If it does not prove it now it
will never be given another chance to
prove it. No party that proves un
faithful to that ideal will ever again
be trusted by the people of America,
i And therefore we are standing at a
turning point in our politics. We must
make good or go out of business. In
the vernacular, it is a case of ‘put up
. or shut up,' because words are going j
| to bo discounted. Nothing will be hon
ored except the actual carrying out of :
such programs as sensible men may
unite in for the common benefit.”
