In the last analysis, there is very lit

Th$y may at times be moved by sen
timent in their choice of candidates
—^for personality may attract or re-
pell them—but in every matter of
public policy they have uniformly
judged and acted solely upon what
they considered its merits. Hence
they have little patience with parti
san opponents of the League in the
United States Senate who are delay-
ing^atification of the treaty because
it was brought from the cortference
of nations by a democratic president!
The President made it abundantly
clear in his speeches over the Country
that no republican need desert his
party to favor the League; that every
one may act as an American in this
crisis without ceasing ro be a republi

Ralph R. Fisher is doing some very

new railroad which Transylvania
county is sure to have in the near
future. If everybody would get out
and talk railroad and its advantages
to this section, it wouldn’t be long
before the people would demand that
something be done. Let’s all pull

Will someone name a single impor
tant bill that the present republican
congress has passed during the five
months it has been in session? Is
it any wonder there is unrest in every
trade and profession from one end
of the Country to the other? Let the
United States Senate get down to

at least have some reason for enter
taining the hope, that capiti and la

REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY
AND KEEP IT HOLY
When asked by a news reporter,
why do you close your garage on
Sunday, we answered him saying,
because we were violating the laws
of the very highest court and from
which there is no appeal. And busi
ness places that still remain open on
Sunday might just as well close, for
if they refuse to obey God’s laws
his people will make a law that they
cannot refuse to obey, and the officer
will close it up for them. So they
might iust as well come with the ma
jority and not wait until they are
forced to close,

The question of ratifying the
covenant of the League is in no sense
partisan. The President made that
perfectly clear; so plain, in fact, that
no intelligent citizen could fail to un

naturally expected to eventuate in a
deeper understanding and a better

appears that their relations are less
cordial since the “get-to-gether meet
