WILSON OR GERMANY t This is the way the New York World lines up the political situation: "Every vote cast against Wood vow Wilson in the Novem ber election will be a vote for Germany, no mntter who cast that vote or for what candidate it is cast. 1 * W \~l f f lin ( 2.r\r* tvv O ?-* ?trtttnr?nM/1n r ?? litw uuv \jiti mini |iu(/a^aiiuu is seeking is not so much an im mediate victory for itself as a de feat for the Presideut. If it can beat Wood row Wilson by supporting Theodore Roosevelt - or Charles E. Hughes or Elihu Root or anybody else, it will be satistied, for it will have served its warning on every President to come that a similar fate awaits him if he defies German authority." This is putting it pretty strong but "The World" is a strong and ? a great newspaper and ought to know* But why the Germans should support Roosevelt is inconceivable, as he has been breathing slaughter against Germany and abusing Wilsou be- : cause he has not fought the Kaiser. However it is very much like Teddy to wheel around and try to catch the German vote, . for votes he must have to win the race, and German votes I count up as fast auy other. ? Sometimes they go to the polls in droves, especially if by their vote they can aid the Fatherland. < TWO OLD CRONIES Joseph (i. Cannon, who has ' served in Congress for forty years celebrated his 80th birth- 1 1 day recently. Mr. Cannon and General Sherwood entered Con 1 gress the same year, Cannon, a ( Republican, Sherwood, a Demo- 1 crat. Cannon said to Sherwood: ' "We are political opponents, but really I think 1 respect and love ' you as much as it is lawful for one man to love another." It is ' a fine thing when men who have 1 belonged to opposit political par- < ties and fought so many political battles can indulge in such kind- * ly sentiments Uncle Joe is a 1 good old soul, if he is a stand-pat:: . Republican. j' ?????? ( LINCOLN AND SOUTH CAROLINA j In a recent speech in Congress 1 lion. Joe Cannon referring to Lincoln and the. effect of his assassination on the South and reconstruction said: "T here would ' have been no mistake made if ' Lincoln had not been assassinn. 1 ted. When the propostion was ' made to put South Carolina and ' Virginia in one military district, ' Lincoln said: 'No, I want to keep the states separate so far as 1 ' can to preserve their autonomy and to strengthen the Union.' " ) PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA Ceorgia officials are proving by their actions that prohibition ' does prohibit. The new law : went into effect May 1st and it ' is being vigorously enforced. In } Atlanta five huddred gallons of * liquor was poured into the sew[ crs.

The S yard at police station is filled i with crates and barrels and | casks of intoxicants, all contra > band.

Hut he made a line speech all the same, advocating the farmers' rights and complimented Congressman LevTer, of fc-'outh Carolina very highly for his zeal and energy in working for the success of the measure, lie said Congressman Lever in this measure ''had done more for the hope and happness )f our country through a program for the relief of agriculture than has been done before in all he history of our Agriculture Depart ment. This is high praise for the South Carolina Congressman but praise that is merited and well deserved. The bill as passed in the Senlte provides capital for agricultural development, creates a standard form of investment based upon farm mortgage, equalizes rates of interest upon farm loans, and other like purposes. CAN'T FOOL PAT Knowing of the trouble in Ireand the German soldiers in the trenches tried to get the Trishnen who were lighting for the Allies to desert and come to hem.

Louisiana is the latest state in which the movement is becoming powerful, and it is encouraging to see the support the newspapers are giving the plan. Says the New Orleans Times-Picayune: "Louisiana is being continually presented before the rest of | the country and the world as the most illiterate state of the Union. This is bad enough, but it is still worse to know that there is little prospect of improving the situation unless we find some way to get the children to attend our schools. Louisiana is not only the most illiterate, but it has the smallest percentage of its children in the schools, so that it is not likely I to lose its unenviable leadership without, a compulsory attendance law." The South is today about the only considerable portion of the civilized earth in Jwhich it| is thought tit and proper for a care less and ignorance parent to bind his children for life in the bonds of ignorance, blind them for life to the light of knowledge, and ciipple them for life in the stuggle for existence; and this fact, is a blot upon our boasted j civilization, a blot we should like to enlist every man, woman and child in our Progressive Farmer family in helping wipe out. The argument of "personal liberty," "the rights of the parent," etc., which have been 60 long invoked in this matter cannot stand the light of reason. What about the "rights of the child" and his own God-given right to "liberty" of mind through the emancipating power of knowledge? And as for the parent, we may well say in the language of the grpat philosopher Huxley: "I have liberty to do right; I will thank any man to take away my right to do wrong." The right to keep a child in ignorance is "a right to do wrong," and it should be taken away from every careless parent in the South, as it has already been taken away from such parents nearly everywhere else outside of heathendom.?
