SLATON IS GRATEFUL I AN!) WITHOUT REGRETS Leaves Final Result in the Hands of His Friends In Convention. Atlanta. Aug. 20.-Governor Slaton gave out the following statement today: “I am grateful for the earnest support of my friends, and. of course, appreciate the continued confidence shown by my home county. "Four candidates centered their fire on me and I replied in only one political speech, deliv ered the night before the elec tion in Columbus. The remain der of my speeches were in ad vocacy of a sound financial sys tem for the state. "Without shirking any respon sibility, I assumed the full bur don of the attack on a patriotic law that was essential to the welfare of Georgia. "1 have never said nor done anything during the campaign which I regret, and I have up held the dignity of the high office I occupy. I leave the final result in the hands of my friends in the con vention." Hope of the World. We are in position of advan tage because of the work that has been done in America during the past one hundred years. I'ut if the assailants of Mr. Wilson had had their way, we would have lost all of these natural ad vantages, and would ourselves have been at war with Mexico, demanding all of the powder and guns and ships and steel and clothing and food that we could produce, while our soldiers were marching in ever-lessening num bers from one battlefield to an ot her. We are in a condition to avail ourselves of this opportunity of a century because we have re formed our tariff and reconstruct ed our financial system. We are the hope of the world in a period of almost universal warfare. —Louisville Post. The American Method. Not long ago some Europeans were finding fault with the Uni ted States because it did not take more active steps in dealing with Mexico, active steps meaning es-j sentially sending troops across the border to preserve order. There are different kinds of international diplomacy. The American kind as carried out by President Wilson has saved this country from a long, costly and appalling war with a neighbor ing nation. European diplomacy has failed to prevent one war, which will be no slight one, and it may not be able to prevent a vastly greater one. Judging them by their results, we prefer the American method. Schenectady Gazette. Forcing Progress On Us. The Manufacturers’ Record in an optimistic editorial on the fu ture, among other things says: "The conditions which exist in Europe will literally compel a de velopment here whenever the war is ended far greater than we have seen in the past. This war will put the United States ahead fifty years in its domination of the finance and commerce of the : world and throw Europe back fif ty years. Within twelve months ' after the war has ended, the country will hold a more domi- ] noting position in the tinanceand i commerce of the world than it could have hold in fifty years of 1 peace. Sad as it may be that ' our progress will be built on the , wreck and ruin of material things and on the death of millions of < men and the wastage of billions I of wealth in Europe, nevevthe- j less, this is the opportunity which i the people of Europe are forcing j upon us." * I | Dental Notice.
