THE COLUMBIA SENTINEL, HARLEM, GA. Managing Editor’s Column Each week I think I will have to invent - ISEdf '£ Stt* to realize the growth, and the unselfishness of those who are making it possible for Mr. Wat sou to reach the people as he is doing, And each week I give it up: it seems to me like the little boy who said “dam” out loud for the first time, 1 have sc id all I could say. and will have to let the lists speak for them solves. Like the preachers, we can all say we are now on the brink of some remarkable things. Not being a politician, of course, f axn not able to grasp all theso in their tre mendousness, but it is the one time in the whole year that the women can make them selves a power to be felt, and not go to the polls, either. The old lines of demarkation are con spicuously absent, in both, the Old Parties. In days gone by, one never dreamed would be a negro democrat in political office, Washington, IX 0. is Ailed with them, put hhere by the present Democratic Administva ( . on There is so little difference now, it woul l seem each party will have a hard time getting a man elected who is not exactly like the man the othr party nominated. Big Business holds (ho ro5ns> nnd Bi{? Business ifi goillg after ^ . fc Wflntg jn no uncertain way . The faot that several eligibles of the Re Party were eliminated when it was shown how they had gotten their campaign funds, and the enormous amounts they had secured, was undoubtedly understood by who read to mean t' at the Big Business ex peeled a good look in for the sums contributed, and there was registered the first of what we hope will he many objections to this sort of thing.

Suffrage got another wop, this time from the conservative State of Louisiana, and the ‘polite picketing” of the laaies in Chicago, went for naught. ♦ The report of a Northern paper, in its cotton quotations says: “The market has a session of dullness. ” But at that time, the Southern holds were quite livelv, while planters ' chased the boll weevil from his lair. * * * * General Wood’s defeat mav be laid to two things: the first of course being the question able method.; bv which bis campaign fund ^Jich^h'isCandidacy had.’ 1 Which Lt.ople A- are about fed up on military ad • "'.•** King Victor Emanuel, of Italy—next to King Get.rgo the only reigning monarch who seems able to keep in good standing with his people ( has renounced his right to begin val% ilT|( | ],j s rating will accordingly lie r-von with the * Italians.

Is McAdoo a Roman Catholic? This question aurives from a friend who up a lot of subscribers for The Sentinel; hence, he is entitled to a replv. *° ** “** ^ ‘ If I could only unload McAdoo’s record on the Jesuits, I would have them in full flight toward the tail timber in no time. McAdoo’s record outsmells spoilt cab bage. Really, there’s nothing good in McAdoo except his good looks. There is nothing sound in Mac, except the teeth the dentist made for him. McAdoo is the man who, as Secretary of the Treasury, bankrupted Southern farmers and enriched the Cotton Gamblers, in the Fall of 1914. , The simple mechanism of that colossal swindle was this: McAdoo ran the printing presses night and day. printing new paper money for the gamblers. He ran off more than $300,000,000 of this new currency, which the speculators bor rowed from Mac’s pet banks; and these cotton thieves used Mac’s new money to buy our cotton at $25 to $30 a bale Mac established an insurance bureau for 'he gamblers and insured this very cotton at $65. to $70. a bale. The direct loss to the farmers was $400, 000,000. ' The indirect losses cannot be estimated. At that rime the cotton producers were asking the Government to loan them money, in order that they might hold their product for a price that would pay the cost of pro This Democratic Administration coldly re fused the farmers, AND DELIBERATELY AIDED the ga melees. When the Evclinp and the Carib were sunk at sea, Son-in-Lav McAdoo paid the specula tor? from $ 65 - to $70. a bale for the cotton wllich this Administration had virtually forced M •* #85. and $30.

A friend of The Sentinel understood me to say that the Papal flag was displayed above our ? ati «nal colors on the Capitol Building, * n Washington: but lie is mistaken. What 1 have often said is, that'the (Ro man ' “Church flag” was run up over the Star 7 and Sti ;ipes, on our battleships, during services. Tlie pictorial .beet of The Washington Rost —March 14, 1920—shows the “Church distinct from, and above the national colors. L,:derneath the picture we read the words ‘The Church Tennant, hoisted during di \i ctviee, is the only flag that ever flies above (lie Stars and Stripes.” (Emphasis mine.) This Church Pennant is marked by a large Cross, the syunbol wnich the Popes ap¬ propriated age s ago. Every Catholic banner used in the Middle Ages and in the Crusades, bore this kind of a *■ rass *. But Rear-Admiral Baird informs me, that. th<? ( .’ hurt>h Flag is the same that it was in the time of John Paul Jones. It seems strange that any Revolutionary P at riot s1lould have inaugurated a custom 'Hiieli . conforms to the ( atliolic doetrine ot Church above State. As a matter of principle, no religious symbol should for a moment bo elevated above the State’symbol. the*Church If is above the State, any where, at any time, then it might, be above die State, everywhere, at all times, r ! hat is distinctly the Papal doctrine. No wonder Admiral Benson’s daughter, christening one of our naval vessels, named “Ihe Pope. The Admiral himself is a sworn subject of His Holiness, and a nobleman of the Papal Empire. His foreign title was taken without con ' sent of Congress; and the Admiral may have to face a < 'ongressional investigation. Take advantage of the “Club Card’’, at $1.50 each.

I will endeavor to get up a list of the Republican officers and office-holders who owe tHeir loftiness to President XVilson. Such a list was published in The Jeffer¬ sonian, in October 1916, but it had no effect. The brethren at. that time couldn’t see any yellow streaks in the wonderful Wilson. SUCCESS IN LIFE Comes from Snatching the opportunity at the right time. “Abundant Success” comes only to the Col¬ lege trained. A summer’s study in MERGER SUMMER SCHOOL may mean the difference between success and failure in life. XVhat a summer course will do— A summer saved may mean a session saved. A college course saved will mean a career saved. i 1. Put the the three year high school graduate in college—saving a whole year of time. * 2. XYii,! save the college student one-third of a year. 3. Will start the teacher on the road to higher things in the profession. Write for folder to MERCER SUMMER SCHOOL Macon, Ga.
