Old Georgia, is all right regard less of politics or Mexicans. Regardless of the “mentioned” army. Georgia will have a gov ernor and junior senator- It is well that in the confusion of the hour Memorial Day was not forgotten in the South- The fact that President Wilson wept over the spilling of the first blood in Mexico proves only the greatness of the man. Mediation by South American countries is all very well, but some quick meditation by Huerta is about all that will save his hide. We are a people upon which Dame Fortune continues to smile. We got in our spring supply of Mexican sombreros before Huerta grew so stubborn as to refuse to salute. If the United States is forced to continue the war in Mexico we need not expect any great battles by the opposing forces. The guerrilla greasers will not come out in the open to shoot. Montgomery county has no warriors to rush off to the Mex ican border. But our people are in hearty sympathy with Presi dent Wilson, and expect him to do the right thing at the right time. Perhaps Detective Burns did not care to discover that Frank did not murder Mary Phagan un til excitement began to run high er in Mexico. But it is quite probable that he got his money before lie discovered anything. That school contest and county fair ought to divide time with war talk among Montgomery county people. Fighting lethar gy and the dogged indifference that now lias a grip on this sec tion is a bigger thing than whip ping Huerta. In the mean time, let the corn club boys stick to their determin ation to carry on the revolution at home the complete routing of old methods in growing corn, and teaching their dads some much needed short cuts to inde pendent living. The State Democrate Execu tive Committee probably did the best they could for us, but there is going to he a very short time after the primary for the defeat ed candidates to go down to the coast and hear what the wild waves are saying. We have have got to have sun shine. and lots of it, to make our cotton to grow: but it’s going to be tough on some of the boys if they are rushed off to Mexico after spending the clays of their young manhood whittling white pine in front of the stores. It requires some little energy to keep up with changing condi tions in this country. You can’t catch birds any more by sprink ling fresh salt on their tails like you did when a boy. And neither can you catch the old farmer’s vote, as in the olden time, by falling suddenly in love with him at election time. Patriotic Georgians still have the right to say who shall repre sent them in the highest assem bly of the nation. In our humble opinion Hon. John M. Slaton is better fitted to don the toga of the lamented Bacon than any of the gentlemen aspiring to the place, and will be elected by a handsome majority. <r ▼▼▼▼ vtyt frrrrrrrrrrrrrrr • > a £ (jileanings From J t Wisdom’s Field. 5 •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Darien Gazette: The man who “stays on the job” now-a-days is the man who wins. The peo j pie have got sense. Monroe Advertiser:—Let us make this a political vear in which all the campaigns are placed on a high level. Let us forget all those little, mean, un derhanded things that we are in ♦ lie habit of bringing out against the candidates and let’s vote for : the best man. Perry Home Journal:- When a congressman or senator “makes good” in the performance of his official duty, the party to which that congressman or senator be longs suffers loss by the election of a new and untried man. Brunswick Banner: Mr. Bryan has always been an optimist, more or loss. It seems that there never was a time when the Mex ican situation was not “highly encouraged.” Athens Banner: —The perma nent registration law is a good one. There is no reason why the simple payment of taxes should not qualify a man after he was once qualified on all other grounds- Dublin Courier-Herald:—Only six-of the twelve cities given a regionat bank have attained to tlie dignity of a major league baseball team. Such is fame. Lyons Progress:—James Mer cer, former game warden, says the great need of Georgia is a system of rural credits. What we need worse, in our humble opinion, is a higher sense of ob ligation that will bring about more promptness in paying rath er than additional avenues of credit. Credit is already too cheap in Georgia. Atlanta Journal:—We hope Texas doesn’t turn against the rest of the United States because she isn't permitted sooner to in i vade Mexico. Savannah News:—The Darien Gazette is 40 years, having been born April 25, 1574. Editor i “Dick” Grubb looks back over the four decades and says: “While it all hasn’t been sun shine we are thankful for those blessings that have come to us.” Newspaper nr n of Georgia with out a doubt wish “Dick” Grubb many more years of blessings. Valdosta Times:—Huerta had another “periodical disappear ance” Monday night- We con fidently expect them to become permanent in a few more days. Pembroke Enterprise: If South i Georgia could decide on. some read man for the United States Senate and would run that man he would more than likely be elected, but as long as everybody j tries to elect a candidate of their own there is little hope. Ha w k insvil le Dispatch-News: Hawkinsville wants that new J postoffice building badly. Con ressman Hughes promises to get it for us. h’s a cinch that we will have it within the next year or two, We want our new passenger station to harmonize : • ; a $ postoffiee building. A: d it will, if Hawkinsville will! stand on its rights. County Citizen:—This g k about Gov. Slaton resigning) ’ o governorship to make the j raco for senator. Let’s see. Did ! A o Grow Wilson resign? Did i Hoke Smith resign? Did Os-j iear Underwood resign? THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY. APRIL 30. 1014 People of Georgia Want Price Again. No doubt but that the people of Georgia stand ready to endorse the administration of Hon. James D. Price, the able and genial Commissioner of Agriculture. His administration has resulted in the uplift of Georgia’s agricul tural interests, and the entire state has felt the effect of his progressive but conservative methods of conducting the affairs of this important office. Mr. Price has for many years been recognized as one of the 1 most successful farmers in the ! state, and his plantation in Oconee county is often held up as a model. He is a great believer in the plan of intensive farming, of raising home supplies, and build ing up the land and the home, and he never fails to interest the farmer in safe and sound ideas, looking to the betterment of con ditions on the farm—the great fountainhead of the nation’s success. It is a fact worthy of note that Mr Price, during his first term as Commissioner, has displeased only one class of people—certain western shippers, who sought to flood the state with spurfius feed stuff's. Under the law, Mr. Price promptly seized this chaff and rotten grain and turned it over to the sheriff of Fulton county. Since this occurrence the shippers of the adulterated foods have been a little sore on Mr. Price, but, in realizing that he is on the alert for such infractions of the law, do not undertake to palm off any more trainloads of chaff on the people of Georgia “ Uncle Jim” is always on the job; as far as the people of this section are concerned, they are willing for him to serve them further. In 1912 Montgomery county gave Mr Price a majority of nearly 500 votes over two op ponents, and his friends in this county today are ready to stand by him with the usual endorse ment of a sound administration — and Mr. Price will continue to appreciate the unstinted support of Montgomery county friends.
