JUST A LITTLE COMPARISON.

Fine business! All - a scalawag would need to do then . would be to run on" with his neighbor's wife or steal a horse or brain some one and then announce his candidacy for office.

GEORGIA PATRIARCH CELEBRATE S 93D BIRTHDAY; 200 RELATIVES INCLUDING FIFTEEN GREAT-GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN AT PARTY
FROM ANARCHY TO DESPOTISM.
Events in Mexico are showing how
true it isthat the same old laws govern human nature and the same rules which controlled the fate of nations long ago have as much force today
as they had in ancient times, or in
the days ol Napoleon. The man on
horseback succeeds . the chaos ot revolution. From anarchy the
pendulum swings .back to despotism.
Everything indicates that Mexico
is entering, upon a period of abso-I.
lutism at least as rigorous as the rule I
of Porfirio Diaz. The army is to be greatly enlarged. Rebels are to be
shot as bandits when captured. No
prisoners are to encumber the move
ments of government troops, t The
men in authority are apparently con
vinced that the only chance of peace
and order lies, in terrorism and mili
tary power.
That is the inevitable outcome of
the breaking down of law and order. It is the natural fruit of revolution
which substitutes a weak government!
for a strong one and leaves a country infected with the virus of plotting
and revolt, as a means of undoing the
result of elections and subordinating the civil authority of the state to
force. -
When compelled t& choose between tyranny and chaos any country will
take the despot. It must, in self-
preservation. Nothing is so hopelesc,
from every point of view, as anarchy; j
nothing so necessary as order.

He and the other members of his family spent the greater portions of their lives on a farm, leading active, normal lives. Nearly all of his children and other descendants are farmers, and the majority of them are successful. i Benjabin Ford ham, the father of Zenus, moved from South Carolina to Georgia in 1812.

THE EDITORIAL ACORN. THE TIMES blushes because of a new appreciation of its responsibilities In advancing ideas editorially. On Monday it printed an editorial in the subject, "Garys Market House Plans" which was copied Thursday by the Gary Evening Post and due credit given to THE TIMES. This editorial pointed out how the
Gary merchant may' expected to profit
fat Hammond's expense by their
greater progressiveness in urging the
construction of an adequate city
market.
On Wednesday THE TIMES carried another editorial in which it sug
gested the 'idea of a combined city market and interurbn terminal. This so appealed to the Post that on Thursday it published a story in
which it suggested THE TIMES idea of combining an interurban terminal
and a city market. The Idea took so well that on Fri day the Post pointed to ITS sugges
tions in the following paragraph,
'The details of the interurban loop
plan appeared exclusively in the
Evening Post yesterday and caused
much favorable comment, not only from those interested in the market
house "company, but also from citl zens generally."
