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 vTTTTTTmfYmmmm? • |» A ► Gleanings From J ► Wisdom’s Field. 3 ► + •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 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 dorsement given Senator A. O. 1 Bacon. No man in public life to-; ! dav is more deserving of popular commendation. Dahlonega Nugget: We are glad to learn that we are not going to have any more Demo cratic-Republican primaries in Lumpkin county. So each party can begin to shinny on his own i side. I 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.

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.” 1 _ j 8 THE GREAT DUTY OF AD- 8 3 JUSTMENT.
