Tennessee is welcome back to the
fold. But she must promise to be
good.
Efforts are being made in court to
give minceptie its famous, oldtime
flavor. The piaintiffs sa/ they will
make a strong case.
The Chances are Senator Lodge
had the scare of his life anyway and
we are hoping that it will do him
some good.
There are 1,362 eouncilmen in the
twenty-eight borough boards forming
th-s local government in Loudon. The,
treasury of the metropolis offers the
world’s greatest pickings.
Oh, well, it will sound very natur
al for the people of New York to
say Governor Smith again. And a
little later on it may be President
Smith. One can never tell.
Keep the fact in mind that Sunday
is roll call day with the local Red
Cross. It is a call that should re
ceive the very heartiest response
from thousands of good people.
One reason why the Uunited States
has an observer at international con
ferences, such as the Near East par
ley, is that the safest way to look
out for trouble or trickery is to look
in.
Newberryi'sm, Goldsteinism, Daugli
erty! Surely is there any wonder that
the people of the United States have
repuidated the Harding adminis
tration after a brief tenure of only
eighteen months on the job?
Musoiino, the Fascists Prime Min
ister of Italy, has ordered all cabinet
officers to wear frock coats and top
hats. He can’t blame his colleagues
jf they concluded, that the state ought
to supply motorcars to suit this of
ficial apparel.
Our very hearty congratulations to
Chairman Hull. He has won two
signal victories. The one for the
party was fine and dandy, the one for
himself was fully deserved and must
make him very happy.
That Pennsylvania mine disaster,
the second horror of the kind in the
year, is most distressing( The heart
of the nation goes out in genuine
sympathy to the unfortunates who
have made the great sacrifice and
the grief stricken loved ones they
leave behind.
Senator Reed of Missouri, won out
all right and while there is much
in him to admire, there is much that
is Hot admirable. Yet he is one of
the greatest lighting machines in the
nation and one of the very brainiest
of public men. His victory was a
great personal triumph.
Asa Democratic newspaper, we
cannot sit idly by and see a regular
democratic nominee defeated by an
independent without raiding our voice
is protest. Th e precedent is danger
ous and it will .crop out to cause this
community trouble, when we least ex
pect it.
So Senator Calder went down with
jthe Republican wreck, in New York.
Htyseerns to us that'he has'proved to
}• about the '‘roost,’ eolorlfesi senator j
tliat New York has sent to Washing- j
ton in many a day. We are quite
persuaded that he wont be very ser
iously missed, except by the occu
pants of tlie pie counter.
DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHS!
To close observers who have watch
ed the trend of National politics since
the incumbency of the Harding ad
ministration the result of Tuesday’s
general election will not come in the
natur e of surprise. .
Indeed, it is not to be wondered at
that the American people have risen
in thjeir soveriign might electorate
the Republican party; it would rather
be a surprise if the great electorate
of th e nation had sat supinely down
and given its endorsement to the
most wobbling government that has
ever been inflicted upon the Ameri
can people.
Unfortunately for th e Republican
party .the American people have not
forgotten how to remember; in their
minds eye on Tuesday they saw Sena
tor Harding of two short years ago
promising prosperity, a quick read
justment from a condition brought
about by the world war and a foreign
policy of such stability that would
make America the most popular gov
ernment in all of the concord of na
tions of tl’e ‘earth!
We also saw dignified United
States Senators of the Republican
party preaching the falsest doctrine
that ever fell fromo human lips, a
doctrine of hatred, o e cruelty, of
baseness against the greatest presi
dent of the United States since Lin
coin, a campaign so bitter that it
even nauseated, made the decent ele
ment in the Republican party.
What has been the results of that
campaign?
Th£ American people are
easily impressionable, they were
suffering at tlfat time from
the ravages of wav, economics
were out of adjustment, hearts were
heavy, for be it remembered that
65,000 American boys sleep in the
poppied fields of Flanders, they were
heart sore and like the mariner in the
tempest they sought any port for
shelter and the ship of state sailed
into the cold and icy embraces of the
Harding administration.
What did it bring us?
It brought us Daugherty; it
brought us Goldstein and Newberry;
it brought us the most iniquitious
tariff e ver written in the laws of this
nation, a tariff so cruel, so intent on
filling the flesh pots of the moneyed
bartyis that ok! Payne-Ah’rh h tariff
was in the nature of a dispensation
from Providenco when compared to
this one. It brought us into disrepute
with every decent government on
God's Almighty's earth; it placed us
beside Turkey and Germany outside
of the League of Nations, the only
real movement for peace is this
world since the Garden of Gethse
mane!
It also brought us the greatest pan
ic since Roosevelt in 1907; it brought
us th e most distressing strikes ever
inflicted on the American people ir,
which the president displayed a poli
cy so weak that even his best ad
visers held up their hands in holy
horror; it brought us a congress
which has been sitting continually
and which failed to grasp the situ
ation and legislate for the best in
terest of the people. ,
80, is there any reason to wondei
why the American people have risen
and have spoken in thundering tones
against a condition which if continued
would mean disaster, wreck and ruin,
not only to the government, but to
the people of the republic.
It is a warning so emphatic that it
cannot be disregarded, and translat
ed into plain English it means that
two years hence the Democratic
party of Cleveland and Wilson and
Jefferson will once again take the
helm and pilot the nation out of the
storm and into the port of.transquii
ity and peace and prosperity!
ONE CLERGYMAN’S SUGGESTION.
A friendly clergyman favors us
with much appreciated commendation
of the opinions which express in
these columns. H e declares satisfac
tion: owr accentuation of cardinal
moral princibles in undenominational
style, gs he believes that this propo
ganda cannot fail to help this com
munity and the nation. And h e sug
gests that we should go a little farth
er and discuss prayer.
In North Dakota, says the clergy
man, the farmers held a public as
sembly of thanksgiving and manifest
ed their gratitude of their plentiful
harvest. A few weeks ago, people in
Denison, Texas, prayed for speedy
termination of th e railroad strike.
The clergyman says that incidents
such as these deserve special com
ment.
It is probably a fact that many per
sons do not pray at all, even in
church, and that may never pray or
think of prayer. There are many
who believe timt. prayer is a sign of
| weakness,;. indicatiifs - want 'of self
| reliance. There are many who pray
| only when, they are distraught from
i sorrow or misfortune, who 4ecognize
'prayer as the sole means to b*elp them
out of darkness.
The most devout men and women
are those who have grief, suffering,
adversity. They realize that rever
ses ar e not avoidable, and sslf help
alone is inadequate to the severity of
their circumstances. They realize
the necessity of depending on Provi
dence lor strength and relief.
Most successful and prosperous
persons give hut little thought of
prayer, as they seem not to need it.
They flatter themselves over their
wisdom, shrewdness and competency,
taking jeredit themselves for 'their
good fortune and happiness. They
preach the doctrine of selfdepend
ence, asserting that “God helps those
who help themselves.”
'One of the striking features of the
state papers and quasi-official letters
of the pioneers of our great republic
was the frequent, almost unfailing
reference to the mercy of Providence.
During and after th e civil war public
prayer was a custom, and it was a
custom alluded in public documents,
to the power in which our people
trusted.
No success, no prosperity, no hon
or, is tile sole result of man’s own
efforts. Each of these blessings is
contingent on good health and fav
orable circumstances. If a man has
nothing else, in his exalted opinion,
to give thanks for, he at least owes
thanks for the health and mental
state without which it would be im
possible to achieve anything.
Prayer is not a sign of weakness,
but of greatness. The weak man is
th e vain man who disdains to pray.
The strong, great man is the man
who is grateful to providence for
whatever is bis lot.
A PLEA FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY.
In these sordid political days when
the world is reeking with bitterness
and contention is th e order of the
day, it is most refreshing and delight
ful to find Georgian making a sincere
plea for Christian unity.
In the Atlanta Constitution of a
few days ago Hon W. R. Hammond,
leading and well known Georgian
had tii£ following contribution under
his signature. It is v eil worth read
ing and at this particular time, it
is worthy of deep consideration by
th e people of tlie state of Georgia.
Here it is:
Editor Constitution: The time
has come, in the history of Chris
tain civilization, when all Chris
tians should get closer together
on the basis of a united effort to
save the world. I wrote a letter
to this eflect some months ago
and you kindly printed it on your
editorial page, but if there has
been one sympathetic response
from any of the bretheru of any
of the Christian denominations I
have failed to hear it- 1 now re
peat what I said then, that there
should be a closer union of heart
between all who name tlie name
of Christ, and if the movement
cannot be taken up by the ec
clesiastics in ought to be done by
tile laymen.
But in order for such a thing
to be passiblity we will still
have to get above all demonia
tional and get upon
high We will have to
consider the immense good there
is iu all demoninations and rise
high enough, in our Christian
thought, to get entirely above the
field of minor differences.
We will have to quit fighting
one another, or doing anything
except to tell the world that we
are bretheren, united in onoe
great faith seeking to get the
world to come along with us. Let
us all seek with one united ef
fort to bring th e world to Christ.
Iu order to do this we will have
to put aside all differences and
absolutely forget all our prejudic
es. The watchwork for all will
have to be: Come to Christ.
In order to get ourselvef in the
spiritual frame of mint, where it
would be possible to put aside
all our prejudices and precon
cepts w e would have to think
earnestly and gaze steadily upon
the good that is in all Christian
denominations, ignoring the dif
ferences and accepting hearty the
great fundamental truth that all,
without exception, are seeking
to bring the world to Christ. And
we can bring ourselves to a see
ognition of that truth if we will
try.
I say such a tiling is a possi
bility. Let the Protestant Chris
tian look only on the great and
tremendous work that the' Cath
olic world is doing and refuse ab
solutely to criticise them for the
way in which they do it, and let
our Catholic brethern do the
-same thing in regard to th e Pro
testant world. I say the time
has come in the history, of Chris
ers Of Cii'ristian thoiikht can do ’
this.
It is about 460 years since Lu
ther ied a large part of the
world into,the paths of Protestant
Christianity, but he didn’t lead
them all, and a tremendous nmn-

Two Kansas farmers met at

State. Each clain.o his county
was the worst in the world for
wind storms. Then along came a
man from Ohio who settled the
argument by telling of 'a terrible
cyclone that had crossed his own
farm some years hack. He said:
‘-‘Gentlemen, one day ley come
a cyclone acrost my fa.m back in
Washington County that blowed

REVOLUTION AVERTED IN ITAL‘’.
The Italina situation is remarkable
in many imperial!! respects. The
Fascists' movement is a popular re
bellion against socialism and com
munism, and it may be said to repre
sent conservative public opinion. Y'et,
it is an mi conservative movement, as
in leadership threatened to take the
government by force. It is a demo
cratic movement, yet is loyal to the
king.
Th e growing strength and menace
of communism for many years was
i.he immediate cause of the Fascista
reaction, which Premier’ Musoiino
says h ( > is syndicalism, Musoiino ad
ministration is trusteeship.
The Fascist! absolutely control
Italy. Musoiino and his following ac
tually could remov 0 the king. But the
captain of the new democracy do
dares fealty to the sovereign and
proclaims a policy of intense nation
alism.
Though it is an extremist move
ment, it probably marks the first step
toward republican conservatism in a
