educational and social life of Mil-

THE PRIMARY NEXT TUESDAY.
Th presidential primary will be
held in Georgia next Tuesday, April
UOth.
There arc three candidates in thc-
field between whom the voters of
the state are to choose.
Attorney General Mitchell Palmer
of Pennsylvania, is the administra
tion candidate. He gives his unquali
fied endorsement to the Wilson ad
ministration, and favors the league
of nations us advocated by the pres
ident. He is an able and fearless
democrat, and made a most pleasing
impression upon those who hoard
him speak during his recent visit to
Georgia.
Senator Hoke Smith ask- the peo
ple of Georgia to endorse him
their choice for the democratic nomi
nation for president. He endorses the
Wilson administration in part, but is
opposed to the league of nations
without reservations. He thinks the
democrats would make a mistake if
they went before the country endors
ing the league of nations as it was
sent to the senate by the president.
He is making a tour of Georgia pre
.senting his position to the voters, and
the reports are that he is speaking to
large crowds.
Hon. Thosmas E. Watson is a can
didate as the opponent of the Wilson
administration in tolo, and is unal
terably opposed to the league of na
tions.
These are the three candidates be
tween whom the voters of Georgia
are to decide Tuesday.
The voters of Baldwin county have
shown very little interest in the elec
tion up to day. From what the Union
Recorder can learn all three of the
candidates have followers in this
county. Senator Smith has always
carried Baldwin county in his guber
natorial and senatorial races, but
many of those who have hitherto
been his suporters are not with him
in this race, a;; they think he has
made a mistake in the position he has
taken againat the administration.
But he has numbers of friends who
are true and loyal to him, and on the
other hand there are those who have
never voted for him before but Mill
do so this year.
The supporters of the administra
tion are strong in Baldwin county,
THE SLIPPERY BOCHF.S.
A ter the armistice many Ajjeri-i
:ans felt that justice had been de->
t\ ated by the failure to carry the i
war into Germany itself. They!
bought that in wholly escaping the
miseries brought upon innocent Bel •
gium and France the Germans had
got off too easily. This feeling has
since been modified by Germany’s in
ternal troubles—-riots, attempted
revolutions, scarcity of food, depre
ciation of currency, and fear of the
spreading leprosy of bolshevism. But
there is still the apprehension, well
grounded and growing, that Ger
many wilt take advantage of the lack
of unity and consequent let-bi* poli
cy of the allies to slip out of her
treaty obligations one after another,
a process already boldly begun with
every evidence of success.
The refusal to surrender the war
criminals; for trial is only one in-
stance. According to the watchful
French, •w'ho with good reason are
nervously apprehensive, Germany
has taken no steps toward the execu
tion of thirty-six clauses of the trea
ty on which the time limit has expir
'd. The surface fleet was surrender
'd as demanded, there being no way
‘o dodge that necessity at the time,
mt the delivery of submarines has
:dy been partly executed, while
nothing at all has been done in the
matter of delivery of arms and mu-
mtions. It seems that the Germans
voided the delivery of arms at the
et time by pleading that they pre-
"erred to destroy them.
Whether the allies blindly con-
onted or left the matter undeter
mined is not stated, but, instead of
lestroying, the Germans proceeded
-I hide their war material. And now
he news comes that •‘1,500 three-inch
h hi gun.-; have just been found by
he Interallied Commission, hidden in
'u vicinity of Berlin alone and that
o far 12,000. of these guns have
! covered throughout Germany
; well as 0,000 airplanes intact, al-
hough under the terms of the .treaty
he German army should now have
v 2o 1 three-inch guns and no air
planes !
The determination to slip out of
accepted treaty obligations is shown
n numerous other instances, inclini
ng failure to reduce the armed force
to 200,000 men. It begins to look as
•f the allies must either apply the
•trong hand or permit the treaty re
quirements to become a farce.—Val

“GREED AND POWER. - ’
The Campaign Executive Commit-
:co of the American Federation of
Labor announces in a circular that it
s the duty of the Federation’s mem
ber; Lip to nominate and elect trade
union candidates this year because
•‘the rights of labor have been seri
ously menaced by many present hold
ers of political place," and “greed
Hiil power have sought to distort ev
ery process to the end that human
ispirations may be suppressed and
human welfare made secondary to
profits and plunder."
No d6ubt organized labor will re-
;pond in the spirit that is urged, but
,t will hardly require any back break
ing in the process In fact, organized
labor has good reason to believe not
only that it is pretty comfortably
.veil off but that the country is at its
mercy.
From 1917 to 1920 the wages of
•abroad employes were increased a
billion dollars, and yet they have the
assurance to demand still another
billion of increase. This is but one
instance of “the suppression of hu
man aspiration” by the soulless
agents of “profits and plunder." The
shoe of “menace” is on the other
foot.
While so-called workingmen are
wearing silk undershirts at $17 each
paid for out of excessive wages and
the “new poor” (salaried middle
class workers) are hurrying to the
pawnshops to bridge over their
crowding difficulties, the latter may
well be pardoned if they entertain
some slight suspicion that “greed
and power" have passed from the
capitalists and taken up their abode
within the ranks of organized labor.
There is a noticeably hollow ring
to this announcement of the cam
paign committee of the American
Federation of Labor.—The Valdosta
WASHINGTON, April 1.7. An
nouncement of the government’s at
