Lloyd George has also discovered
that silence is golden.
Savannah is throwing cakes of mud
in one of her usual municipal con
tests. At the moment, she does not
think of the efforts, it will take in
future to do the cleansing act.
It begins to look now as if Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, or Sen
ator Robinson, of Arkansas, wili suc
ceed to the leadership of the Demo
cratic party in the Senate. Both of
them are safe men and either wili
make an able leader.
Henry Ford is kind to many of us.
He says "a man’s career does not
begin until he is over forty.” When
a man reaches forty he has just
reached the age when he may begin
to think seriously about making mon
ey.” How very encouraging.
The pet ship subsidy measure of
President Harding’s is before the
House. On Thursday it was under
discussion for five hours and bouquets
and bridk-bats were hurled at it
from both sides of the isle. It is be
lieved that the measure is going to
have a stormy passage.
Butler, famous lawyer of |
the Northwest, who comes from St- j
Paul Minnesota, has been named to j
the vacancy on the United States j
Supreme Court bench. He is said to j
have tvon his designation by sheer j
ability as a lawyer and has never b— ;
fore held public office.
Camden county’ has filed two sets j
of Protests wjith the Secretary of
State. First, the election for the de- ;
termination of the county seat has
been challenged and a contest has
been filed in the recent senatorial
election. Camden is in the very cen
ter of the spot-light.
From all indications that PeaCb
county proposition is still dividing j
the good People of three very fine
Georgia counties. Thanksgiving day
is near at hand and all of them should
come together and give thanks that
they live in such a favored section
of such a favored state.
The fact that the Germain com
pany, large lumber and cross tie deal
ers, is to resume operations at the
port of Brunswick, is most pleasing
information to the people of Bruns
wick. 'Brunswick will never develop
until she finds out what has become
of her commerce and brings it back.
The shipping is the very heart’s blood
of every port.
It seems rather unseemly to say
the least of that, the great Senate
of the United States should debate
the question of the propriety of the
visit of the greatest Frenchmen of
the age and one of the greatest
statesmen of all times, who conies to
these shores without mission or with
out official standing. Clemenceau is
here as an individual, not as an en
voy!
The newspapers all over the coun
try are saying some very nice things
about that brief, yet timely address
delivered in the United States senate
by Senator Felton a few days ago.
Those People who thought that Mrs.
Felton was going to deliver a long
talk on woman’s rights, etc., were
mistaken. Her theme was timely,
sweet and womanly and it has made a
real hit.
David Lawrence things that the
visit of George- Clemenceau to
America has put the Harding admin
istratin in an embarrassing position.
It ias confessed on all sides that the
administration is in an awkward j o
isiiiofi, but Clemenceau did not pul
it then'. Hen-dor Long.-, will! f <
tif the purchased Newberry seat m
the Senate did the trick many
months ago.' The visit of the- great
Frenchman merely serves to empl-.a
jjzo the enormity of the crime. That’-

A CONSUMMATION DEVOUTLY
TO BE DESIRED.
A few weeks ago when The News
took over the afternoon newspaper
and in a brief announcement of that
fact, it said in these columns that it
proposed to literally eschew- local pol
litics, that is, local and factional Pol
itics. If the time ever comes when
there is a great moral issue involved
or when some man who is materially
unfit for office, aspires to it. then
in its opinion The News will speak
out and sptak in no uncertain terms
for the justice of the situation, as it
appears to it.
However, in contests as between
Bjood citizens within the ranks of
the Party and within the city and
the county, The News is going to
hold its peace; give each and every
candidate a fair, square deal on the
same basis and try and represent at
all times, the est thought and the
most wholesome side of every ma
terial question that touches this com
munity!
That’s the aim and the object cif
The News in its broadened field and
just yesterday two letters were re
ceived in Brunswick which' we feel
are evidences of the fact that in the
recent political contests in this com
munity, The Nes kept its faith, gave
tv all interested a fair, square deal
•tnd as a result, harmony and good I
feeling exists between all manner of!
Bi unswick people and a campaign for
city commissioner has just been con- j
eluded, which was pitched on a high
olane and v/hih has left no wounds
■for time to heal.
Here is* one of the letters:
Mr. C. D. Ogg, Mayor,
Brunswick, Ga.
My Dear Mr. Ogg: .
T. want to congratulate you j
over your success in yesterday’s |
election and to thank you most, j
heartily for the very courteous j
manner in which you received !
and treated me, also to assure
you that you have my heartiest
co-operation in all matters per- |
taining to the welfare of our
City and iff people.. I went to
your, room last. evening after
getting the returns for the pur
rose of exteding congratulations
in person—you being absent de
prived me of this pleasure—
hence this letter.
Again thanking you, 1 am,
Yours most r oPectifully,
B. J. FORD.
Here is a case where the defeated
candidate hastens to extend congrat
ulations to the successful one and to
assure him that the campaign v.as
pitched on a high plane—that cour
tesy and good feeling existed through
it all and that he is ready and willing
to co-operate with the adminietration
for the betterment of the city!
That's the Proper sort of spirit and
we cenv-ra+ulate Mr. B. J. Ford, who
deserves the commendation of th
community for having written it. It
stamps him as a man cf courage
through and through and it shows
a fine spirit of civic love for his city.
Here is the other letter:
Mr. C. H. Leavy. Editor,
The Brunswick News,
Brunswick. Ga.
My Dear Sir:
Perhaps it is most befitting
that I should at this time thank
you for the very courteous and
considerate manner iti which you
treated me during the contest in
the recent election. Your position
was a very enviable one—
straight and square, and I could
rfot resist the temptation to ex
press my gratitude—hence this
letter.
Again thanking you, I am,
Yours most respectfully,
3. J. FORD.
This communication is most pleas
ing to us and w-e take this oppor
tunity of expressing our thanks to
Mr. Ford for having sent it to us.
If we have succeeded in what we
started out to do—to give every can
didate for public office a fair and
equal representation in the paper on
fair and equal terms; to engender
good, feeling and fellowship and to
place cur campagins for office high
above the level of bitter Partisan
fights, then we have brought about
a consummation devoutly to be de
sired and we are happy.
That’s all!
THAT SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
In his address before congress in'
favor of the administration shipping;
bill President Harding objects to the!
use of the word subsidy and yet we j
cannot see what else he proposes ex j
cept a subsidy. The u-ord “subsidy”'
is defined pecuniary aid- directly j
granted by the government to an in
dividual or commercial enterprise
deemed Productive of public benefit.”
The President does not object to the
word “aid” in fact he uses it as a
preferable term. The aid that he
proposes to grant is to individuals
or commercial enterprises of a class
and he thinks it would be productive
of public good. The fact that it is
to bo granted to more than one in
dividual or commercial enterprise
does not prevent the aid granted to
each from being a -subsidy. The fact
the aid to one class of capitalists
shows it is class legislation.
But we will use the word “aid” if
it is -to be Preferred, apd we oppose
it ,jtol The same, ass the luxation of
the American People in the interests
of a class and the fact that the gov
ernment is already making good the
•losses or the professed losses off
some of this class does not remove
the objectio nofem barking on a poli
ty of constant support of one class f
business at the expense of the peo
ple.
The president is correct in saying
that congress has hampered the mer
chant marine by the enactment of
law's that marks the operation of
American merchant vessels more
costly than their operation under a
foreign flag, but the remedy for this
is to repeal the laws that increase
the burden on American shipping.
Even if the laws were intended for
the benefit af American labor Is it
right to tax American labor engaged
in other occupations to increase the
wages of American labor working on
board ships 7 And as a matter of
fact it has been stated that the ma
jority of the labor on American ships
is foreign. The labor that would be
taxed to make its employment more
lucrative is not foreign. x It is 100:
Per cent American. Is it right to tax i
labor that is entirely American to
increase the wages of labor that is j
only Partly American ?
And yet the plan is so entirely Re
i Publican that it is strange that the
party of protection has heretofore
! been afraid to enact such a law. The
I party that taxes the people six billion
dollars a year to swell the profits of
American manufacturers would be
doing nothing different in principle j
if it also taxed the People in the in- I
tcrest of American ship owners. But j
we are not confident that the bill will j
pass. Wc expect a solid Democratic j
oposition to which many Republicans j
who have learned their lesson will l
join.
I
NOT SUBSIDIES BUT CARGOES j
Nothing resembling a debate or;
the Lasker Ship-Subsidy Bill is to!
be permitted in the House of, Repre
sentatives. The Rules Comniitcee!
brought in a resolution yesterday!
providing for a final vote on Nov. 29.1
which means that so far as the House j
is concerned there is to be no ade- 1
(plate discussion of the measure and i
it is to be passed by a legislative body j
that has already been repudiated al;
the Polls.
Nothing throws a clearer light on .
the character of the Administration’s ;
support in this subsidy undertaking;
than the comments elf Senators and i
Representatives on the President’s j
message.
Senator Lodge indorsed everything j
Mr. Hardirtg said, and Senator Lodge '
who has- just barely escaped defeat, I
-will probably lose the leadership of I
the Senate unless the President can
interevene to save him, says the New!
York World. . !
Senator (Haider is for the subsidy,,
yet Senator Calder has been repud i
1 ated by the people o 4 New York. 1
Senator Poindexter is for it. and:
, Senator Poindexter lias been rePud- j
iated by the People of Washington, i
i Mr. Mondell, the Republican leader!
1 of the House ,is for it. and Mr. Mon-j
dell was defeated for the Senate in;
Wyoming on Nov. 7.
Miss Robertson approves “every- j
thing the President said,” and Miss I
Robertson was denied a re-election i
' by the voters of the Second District;
| of Oklahoma.
All the lame ducks and the near-,
lame ducks are waddling in behind'
the President to quack in support of;
bill which would cost the country So I
many millions that its
cannot agree among themselves- cn i
the ultimate amount.
It is undoubtedly true, as the Pres-;
ident says, that the Shipping Board
is in ah" ; -way financially. For that |
matter- Most shipping concerns, nr j
matter what flag they fly, are in a i
bad way. Hundreds of American I
ships are tied up not because, the J
Government has refused to subsidize
them but. because there are no bar- [
goes. 'British ship-owners are suffer- 1
ing from the effect of the same eco-'
nomic condition. ■ m
To make matters still wol'se for
an Amerncan merchant marine, Con
gress has enacted a tariff which was
admittedly designed to stifle the for
eign trade on -which a merchant mar
ritie lives. The Congress that passed
this tariff and was rebuked at the j
"oils is the Congress on which the
President relies to rus-h through his |
slovenly Ship-Subsidy Bill.
So far as American passenger I
ships are concerned, their business I
has been all but wrecked by the ap-1
Plication of the Volstead Prohibition
Enforcement Law. No fiat of Con
gress can make people travel orf dry
ships when wet ships are available,
and no subsidy can overcbme the
handicap of the Volstead law. Con
gress can Pour the taxpayers’ money
into the coffers of the ship owners
but it cannot fill a single stateroom.
What the American merchant mo
vine needs first of all is not a subsidy
but cargoes and passengers; and Con
gress has done its best to deprive
them of both. Yet Mr. Harding fond
ly believes that a Congress which h e
displayed so complete a lack of any
thing that resembles economic intel
ligence will be trusted by the coun
try- to dip its hands recklessly into
the Treasury to provide subsidies for
a merchant marine that is now rust
i g away at its a.i’.mtsgc.

Housewives make a great mistake in
allowing themselves tc become so weak
and nervous that it is well-nigh impos
sible for them to attend to their neces
sary household duties.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com

notice such symptoms as nervousness,
backache, weakness ar.d irregularity. It
will help you and prevent more serious
trouble. Give it a fair trial. It surely
