the: presidential campai<:n.
The platforms of the two «reat par
ties have been framed anti announced.
The issues, so far as there are any is
sues, have been clearly defined. Four
months of campaigning will follow, and
then the people will jjo the polls and
.chooBo the President they prefer.
There is no wide difference in the
platforms. About the only variance
between them is that the Republicans
try to say in stronger terms (and be
fore the Democrats had the opportunity
to say it) just what they knew the
Democrats would say. The Republican
contention will bo in the nature of a
fijjht on President Wilson and his admin
istration. As he has been the admitted
head of Ids party during his incumbency,
he will now be the focus of attack.
What will be the outcome of the
campaign? Leaders on both sides will
assert with confidence that the party of
their preference will, of course, elect
its candidate; but open-minded men
recognize that there is some doubt as
to the result. It is well enough to
balance the probabilities before making
up one’s mind.
The Republican party is united once
more. The wanderers of four years
ago!have come back to the fold.
Roosevelt indorses Hughes, and that
will have weight with many. There iB
always a large contingent ready to
listen to complaints against the party
in power. This group will gladly hear
any criticisms of Mr. Wilson and the
Democrats. And the old feeling against
the South is not dead; it has been dor
mant only. The South has hud too
much to do in Govorment affairs these
last four years to suit the views of
many people at the North. An edi
torial in a recent issue of Collier’s
Weekly brought out this fact unmis
takably. Mr. Hughes is a good man,
undoubtedly— the best ami most avail
able in his party. Upon these fuets
rest the Republican hopes of success.
Per contra, the Democrats can [mint
with consistency to what their party
has dono since it came into power.
President Wilson has made a great
President, whatever may be said by his
political enemies. Hack of him is a
strong and united party. It would be
unfortunate, if not unsafe, to change
administrations at this time. These
are the bases upon which the Demo
crats nmy lind ground for their hopes.
Hon. Garland Jones never did a bet
ter piece of legislative work than when
he proposed and pushed to a puHsuge
three years ago the bill to establish a
training school for wayward girls. This
institution, located several miles out
from Atlantu, bus been in operation
about two years, and the good it has
done and is doing is well described in
an article reproduced in The Herald
this week from the Rome Tribune-
Herald, being the statement of a good
woman engaged in settlement work in
that city who had occasion a few days
ago to visit the home. Other meritori
ous measures stand to the credit of
Coweta’s able Representative since he
joined our lawmaking body; but in
after life, when reviewing his public
service, we feel sure that no single
enactment which has distinguished his
career as a maker of laws will afford
him more satisfaction than the bill to
provide a refuge for wayward and un
protected girls.
If Uncle Jim Williams, of the Greens
boro Herald-Journal, will uuit worrying
so much about the Hugh Dorsey wave
that is sweeping over the Stale and
give more attention to his Sunday-
school class, he will sleep better at
night. Don’t try to twist the tail of
n whirlwind, Jeema; -you’ll get Hung
every time.

Be Your Own Fire Inspector.
To the Citizens of Newnan:
Since taking charge of the city fire
department I have sought to inaugurate
a system to prevent fires, and in this
effort I earnestly ask your co-operation.
During the first four months of the
present year lire losses in the United
States amounted to $W),000,000, and a
large part of these losses was in South
ern cities. Two-thirds of these fires
were preventable—due to carelessness,
in fact. Now, the city fire department
has only a small force, and it is not
practicable to visit every residence and
business house for the purpose of in
specting the premises; therefore, I am
appealing to all citizens and household
ers to assist in the cause of fire pre-
vention by becoming inspectors in their
own homes and places of business. By
so doing you will not only be of material
assistance to the department, but min
imize fire loss, reduce insurance rates
and make Newnan one of the cleanest
and best protected cities of its size in
the country. It is easier and less ex
pensive to prevent fires than to extin
guish them, once they get started.
Adopt the following suggestions and
you will be astonished to know how
many fires can be prevented;
1. Don’t allow your children to play
with fire or with matches.
2. Be careful where you drop
matches, cigar stubs or cigarettes. See
that they are extinguished before throw
ing them down.
II. See that your stove or range does
not sit on the floor. Fix it so as to be
well protected underneath.
<1. Examine all flues and chimneys
and see that there are no holes in them;
also that there is sufficient open space
to allow air to circulate between the
brick and woodwork. Do not allow
flues to rest on wooden supports.
fi. Do not allow trash, paper and
rubbish of one sort and another to ac
cumulate in cellars, alleys or backyards.
(i. Do not put ashes in wooden boxes
or throw them where they will come in
contact with the lower woodwork of
the house or fence. Use metal recep
tacles for ashes.
7. Do not attempt to fill lamps or
oil stoves when they are lighted.
K. See thut the current is cut off
from your electric iron before leaving
it, and that the ironing board does not
contnin a spark before you fold and
put it away in the closet.
By observing the foregoing rules I
am sure that many fires could be pre
vented, and the community would enjoy
a sense of security that cannot be
measured in dollars and cents.

Chief Fire Department.
