After a rebuke like that adminis
fered by Georgia’s junior senator it
is not likely that the president will
‘ever .venture inte the scnate again
to deliver a special message. A sug
gegtion from g man of Watson's
wisdom and integrity ought to be
sufficient to acquaint the chief exc
cutive with just where his proper
place Is,
President Harding is as thoroughly
convinced now that the treasury of
the country will not stand for the
,additional burden of -compeasation
For World Wiar veterans as he was.
that it would Wcfore the mnational
election last fall. If the republicans
pad been half so anxious to fix the
actual cost of the war through their
investigations ag they were to un
cover democratic thieves the presi
dent might have learned a little
something about the condition of the
treasury before the election.
EVOLUTION AND EFFORT.
"Several years ago one of America's
greatest scientists said that if one
wanted to appear learned or desired to
make a hit with a popular audience,
all he had to do was to use the word
“Hvolution.” The word had a huge
facinating sound, and so anxious were
people to appear cultuied that the ef
fect was thrilling. And so ambitious
was popular lecturers and writers to
appear ‘up-to-date” that ‘“fancy ex
hausted its show box” in picturing the
evolution of the ocean-liner from the
savage's eanoe, the Brooklyn Bridge
from the foot bridge, the repeating ri
fle from the bow and arrow of the Abo
riginal, all of which would some day
be foungd to be far afield from the ex
planation of progress,
In a remarkable book by Mr. Ed
mund Kelly, he shows the fundamen
tal distinction between progress in
nature and progress in man. The
first proceeds, he says, by adaptation
to environment; the second by con
quest of environment. One accepts
conditions; the other creates condi
tions. Oue is the process of evolu
tion; the other is the process of ef
fort.
It is guite interesting to trace this
distinction. Evolution clothes an an
imol with skin adapted to his climate,
£0 tha! the tawny lion survives in th
desert and the shaggy bear in the fro
zon arcties. But man, instead of aday
ting himself to either heat or cold, pro
tects himsalf against both heat an?
cold. Instead of developing a skin
lil.e that of the lion or bear, he slays
the lion and the bear and wears their
skins while his own skin grows soft
and whitv.
Then again, the hungry animal
adapts himself to the tree, so that the
girafi's acquires his neck, the bear his
claws, and the monkey his tail; but
th's hungry man devises a ladder and
climbs the tree, or makes an ax and
fells the tree to the ground. Every
whera evolution operat2s toward con
formity and effort toward control.
Surely this is thrilling! The dis
tinction glory of man is his capacity
to shape hardness into advantage, to
trausform threatening forces into
tractable servants of thought and will,
and to form and fashion the materials
of nature into the handiwori of civ
ilization. So man is far more that a
product: he is a producer; and by his
personal effort, rather than by evolu
tioh, there com'2s to be domestic con
veniences and comforts, and such ap
pliances as the cotton gin, the loom,
the sewing machine, and such facili
ties as the telaphone, telegraph, steam
and electric power, and there comes
to be books and newspapers, paint
ings and musi¢, and all that méakes
a garden differ from a wilderness,
The law of evolution is the survival
of the fit. But happily there is an
other lJaw—the law of dynamic of
ance, Christianity is the dynamic of ef
the unfit. So instead of the passive
abandon which leaves man in the same
attitude of mind as the animal holds
‘to nature, of adaptation and accept
ance, Christianity is the dynamic ef
fort. It embodies the 'excellence of in
itiative, creation, power, and, as
Browning says, it is at once a gift of
strength and the instrument of con
quest. ]
Think how large is the field for per
sonal improvement. Tt embraces the
care of the body, whereby it is braced
for servicz or for suffering and
brought into subjection to the master
faculty; the cultivation of the mind,
its enrichment with all knowledge and
wisdgm; the training of the beauti
ful around the true, “ as the acan
thus-leaf around Corinthian pillow;”
the quelling of the sinward propensi:
ties of nature and the development of
the moral manhooa. It means to
have the passions in harness and firm
ly curbed; to ‘“bear imag: of the |
l.eavenly,” and to strive after the spir- ‘
it of service which lifts a man into the
noblest peerage. |
The field for pérsonal effort is a
large field and the lewards are com
mensurate. |

The riots which began in Ireland
Slagurday night after it was known
that g truce had becn declared ef
fective Monday morning do not in
dicate that the rowdies in that coun
try want peace. If this is kept up
long it will reveal that what some‘
of the British have been claiming
with regard to the kind of people en
gaged in the gtrife is quite true.
Anc even insthis country most peo
plc believe much of the trouble in
Ireland is due to thg persistence of the
lawless element rather than the im
pulseg of people who are thus making
sacrifices for a free Ireland. Thig
feature of the Irish war is going to
be developed pretty soon., Then the
world will know' that the fight is a
most unworthy one and should have
univerggl condemnation. Lawlessness
in Ireland ought to be crushcd, as it|
ought to be crushed everywhere,
Establishea institutions can mean
nothing for the safety of a people
where digregard of the law is glori
fied and ypheld by any element, no
matler how small.
COST OF POISING THE BOLL
WEEVIL.
The Georgia Experiment st:ltion{
has had s number of inquiries of
late as to the cost of dusting mt-‘
ton with caleuim arsenate. As with
other farm operations, howover this
is an individual problem and will dif
fer radically aceording to the skill
with which the work is carried |)ll{
and with the seasons. The bost that
the Eperiment Station can do for the
farmers interssted is to give them cer
tain facts and figures that will en
able them to form some idea of the
probable cost.
..To apply the caleuim aresnate to
the cotton some form of dusting ma--
chine is necessary. These vary from
hand guns, costing about $15.00 to
larger power machines, costing about
500.00 The size of machine which a
farmer should buv will depend large
ly upon the acreage h» has to dust.
As a general rule the large machine
will dust at a much lowoer cost per
acre provided it is used to its full ca
pacity,
The hand guns now on the market
will cover from 8 to 15 aeres a srpason
As these guns cost from $12.00 to
$20,00 each, and will last only about
one season the por acre cost of these
machines per season is about 150,
The labor cost of covering one acre
of course varies with the scale of
wages and the onergy of the labor
er. About one acre per hour is about
as fast as one of these guns can be’
operated. However, it is not p(-.s‘nil)h"
to maintain this rate in continuous
operation as the guns are so very
aboious to operate that from two te
Yvan hours is Aas long as one man
can operate ona, Another disnd
vantage of these guns is the diffi
culty of operating them at night,
when it is possible to do the most ef
ficient work. It is probable that tho
futur> use of these machines will be
for use on rough land wher» the
larger types of machine cannot op
erate. .
The cart type of duster costing
from $35 to $3OO will take care vf
!:m acreage of from 60 to 125 acds a
season, depending on the machine. A
’goml duster should last longer than
one season if given the proper care,
'so that the per acre cost of the ma
chine is less than half of that of tho
hand gun. The labor cost is also much
less as one man and a team can cover
15 to 30 acres a night.
A new type of machine which is
now on the market is built so as to
rest on a saddle, and is so built that
the operater can crank the machine
Jvith both hands while sitting in the
saddle. Such machines ~ost about
W 03.00. This type of machine appears
'to be especially valuable on rough
land, whiech is not suited to the cm';bt‘
:t_\']w, 1
" The large power machines, costing
$500.00 or more are suitable for large
plantations only as they will take
care of as much as 800 acres per ssa
son and should last several seasons
Their cost per acre, theorically, is
even lower than that of the cart type
of duster. The dfficulty to operate on
wet ground., Also, the machines are
more complicated that the other types
and loss of time due to mechanical
difficulties are apt to he large undor
the usual farm conditions. As these
machines are large they are suitable
only for smooth level ground. It is
usually . ncessarry thefore to suppe
ment them with hand guns or some
other smaller type of machine,
+ The caleuim arsenate costs abcut
15 ¢ents per pound. The amount uns:d
will depend nwpon the skill of the op
erator and the scason. When prope:-
iy applied five pounds per acre is
enough for one application, but in
unskilled hands it is best to allow
seven, The number of applieations
will depend on the . season, varying
from one to six. Sometimes it is nee s
kary to dust only part of a field. A
rough estimate of ecalenim arsend |\
necessary per acre would be about 20
pounds,
A FAR REACHING STEP TOWARD
WORLD PEACE AND HAPPINESS
Atlanta Journal: @ |
' ".ne most umportant act of the
Harding ‘Administration and by far
wec auost praigeworthy is the call
for an interaational conferencz on
armgment restriction. After a season
| of diffidence and delay, in which Con
gress, hearing from an insistent
country, urged the step. the Presi
dent has invited the principal “Al
lied and Associated” Powers—Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan——
tn take common cowasel with a view
to limiting the competition and the
burden of inccssaat preparation for
war. All have responded cordially
save Japan, and her hearty accep
tance in due timg is taken for grant
ed. The way thus opens toward he
lief from one of the palnfullest loads
and gravest perils the peoples of the
carth are bScaring.,
The course and outcome of the con
ference, which ig to be held at Wash
ington in the coming autumn, are as
vet conjectural. Nothing can be
done bhut by commen consent and a
common ginceritv of purpose, Amer
ica, ag befitted the mightiest and sgo
curest of nations, has taken the lead
to the extent of proposing the inter
change of views and suggestions.
But when the time comeg for action
the Powers will go forward together,
or they will all hang back. In the
nature of the case disarmament myst
be general or it will be ineffectual.
For this very reason, however, all
can eater the conference the more
readily, knowing that thgyy ‘hazard
no right or interest,
| Conjectural the outcome is, but gl
together hopefully so. Great Britain
most vitally concerned in the matter
of naval limitation, stands committ
ed to earnest co-working. “No effort,”
declares the Prime Minigter, “will
e lacking cn the part of the British
Empire to make the proposed con
ference a success.” The House of
Commong has manifested whole
souled approval, and—what is particu
larly significant—go have the Domin
ions. France and Italy naturally will
support 5 program which, withoyt
compromising any interest of theirs,
make world conditions easgier and
