Ont¢ of the chief things the lnw-i'
mealkers should remember, is that pass- |
ing a law js not all there is in get
ting . people ‘o respect the principle.
Getting the people to obey a law is
much more difficult than passing it.
When 'the lawmakers get to where
khey .will not forget this thing, they
‘will .doubtless become more sorious'
when they congider mew measures. i
@ e e s e e
Now Georgians have gnother new
thing over which to dispute and
ial! out. There is a law proposed
whicl if passed will mean 'that wo
men will have to pay polll tax. If
they exercise the rights of citizens
in all® other* respects, and it be a
Georgta custom to levy a poll tax,
then let the women pay the poll tax
—aor, gpeaking more correctly, let t'n(-,l
men. pay for them. | l

HELPING THE SCHQOLS
The Georgia press is beginning to
find thdt this State is. spending far
too mitch money from thg publie
treasury on the public schools—Dbet
ter say far too mnuch of the state
funds unwiscly on thg public schools.
Some of the speakers in the state
press meetings in Washington were
very plain in their expresston of
dissatisfaction at results which have
been gotten since such great in
crease have been made in the com
mon school appropriations.
Governor Hardwick in a Kiwenis
luncheon in Atlanta the other day
referred \o the poor policy of spend-|
ing such large amounts on the
schools in the manner in which our
money ig spent today. He was right
in his call for a change and more wis
dem in making these appropriations.
He wag looking to the one matter
doubtless of protecting the state trea
sury againgt uch reckless outpour
ing of money when the state is al-!
ready far behind in its ability to
meet its just obligations.
We hold it as unwise form another
and an altogether different reason—
that of teaching the pcople of (‘-vm'-‘
gia that the state treasury is strong]
enough to take care of the entirg (n.»m-l
mon school buyrden. It isn't and it
will be 3 sorry day for local S(‘hofll|
interest if it ever does become able
te pay all the expenses of any
sehool system anywhere.
We hope the day is here now
when lcss of the state fundg and more
of the 'ocal community money will
£o into the making of better common
vehools. That change must come
beiore this ®sfate can have better
schools. Los~al community interest
must be substituted for that state
intercst which legislators have sought
t¢ instill with ¥arger state appro
priations. Wje believe they are‘bugin
ning to see their mistake gna a
change is due which will mark a
widg advancement because local vmn-!
munity interest must take the place |
of that finan'cial support which the
state can no longer afford.
: If this one thing happers, the
collapse of Georgia’s state treasury
. Wil become a God send, The reliof|
.We gre going o find, must come from |
a. decision in future not to nm)rupri-l
ate such large sums from thc state
htreasury for the common schools.
There are at preseat nearly thirty
‘rounties which draw out of the state
treasury in their apportionment of
the common school fund more
money than they pay into the trea
sury in state taxes. ; :
The state treasury cannot -keep
pp that pace. W appropriated four
and a half millions of the state's
funds this year to the common
schools. The treagury wasg empty be
fore that fund was paid, and even if
we give half that much the next
| year, it will take the most careful
| management for state officials to
meet such an obligation,
Georpia has made a bhare start in
the matter of requiring each country
to levy 4 local gchool tax. Many of
them already suppliment their state
appropriations with handsome local
funds, but as a general rule the rural’
gections where better schools are
.iost neeced do nothing but wait
4or the state funds to come in and
spend that even on a most haphazard
port of program.
(Wie are looking for a standard
I gtate treasury to begin teaching self
Irvcliunce in the matter of securing
i money 1o support good school gystems.
:,'We believe the people are not going
{ to permit the schools to go backward,
?W!e know present conditions of tho
!state treasury are not going to of
ter anything but a strong admonition
to rely upon local support. We have
strong hope of wide general improve
ment in the rural schools and hore
is where we need it most. Ag for us,
we are really glad the state cannot
Llonger contribute enlarged sums of
money to the common schopls. We
' are glad becauge we know local sup-4
port is going to take the place of
state agsistance. 'That will mean
longer terms, more interest and more
rea® schools for the children who
need thig improvement most, The
ural boy and girl have much to gain
+n the change which is now becoming
necessary.
WOMEN TAX PAYERS.
l ‘Serving on juries and holding of-
Ifice will require more fitness of wo
men for .citizenship than the mero
'msting of the ballot. They should not
| be led to belicve ail of it is the same
lhy suggestions ‘that our laws permit
them to exercise these additional
functions.
Wk want them to vote but we want
them to exercise caution in the matter
of grabbing the other privileges.
|Afaen they are carried into these
greater respongibilities it will be
well for them to know that it takes
more ‘than an act of the legislature
to qualify them.
Thoge who hold the public trust
should have in mind the rendcring
of full service, the best gervice, a
capable service, one for which
overy office holder is gpecially fit
ted. That would become one form of
honesty in politics, but we believe
women want to have part in nono
other than honest politics.
Shall we look to the women to
pay taxes and holl office?
THE FLAG OF THE SOUL.
Never was there a time in tha histo
ry of the world, perhaps, when so |
many flags were employed as today.
They represent all shades and colors
and may he seen streaming from con—l
spicuous places all along the route
of travel.
A flag is an emblem of something.
It is designeq to visualize an institu
, tion, a state, a history, a condition, a
reality, such as purity, truth, liberty, !
service and sacrifide so as to perpetu
ate the fact in memory ang life,
At the mention of a flag one almost
instantly thinks of ‘““Fhe Star Span
gled Banner” and its thrilling history.
It is indeeq a very significant flag. It
is the emblem of the greatest co
try, of the greatest people, and of
marked unselfish service.
But there is yet an older and more
telling’ flag. It is the “Smile”, so
designated by that puzzling writer,
Dan Crawford, as “the flag of the
50u1.,” It was designed by the great
I Creator, and it should always fly,
since the absence of it indicatos He's
absent from the palace soul,
l Sad indeeq that it does not always
flv. A physician, who recently re
| turned hom'e after several yvears travel
! in Siberia and Australia, was asked .if
|ho saw any changes in America. He
replied: “Yes, the smile has gone, the
life lacks joy, and you can see it in
the literature, pictures, poems, novels
ang in the faces of men and women on
the street. Many are anxious and
teager. They are hunting for some
thing.”
What are people hunting for?
Money, luxury, influence, power; in
the last resort, “happiness”, says an
American writer, Evidently the game
has ‘eluded them, and many say that
the game is not worth while, and give
up in despair. Some take their own
lite and some go through life as cy
niecs and pessimists, asking, “Who will
show us any good?” These embrace
those wha have a false idea of happi
ness and the so called practical people
who disparage sentiment, admira
iuou. hope and love—the soul of
soul, within the soul, that finds good
in every circumstance,
Once there was a man who grew so
critical of the world as to think that
he might have been of some service
to the Creator had he been present
| when things were planned. He
{ that he would have made health con
tageous instead of sickness had he
lbe en the Creator. In the innm-mn-v|
‘.of his logic he little realized what :l|
¢ blunder that would ' have been, ' be- |
cause it would have made sickness the
normal condition. Far wiser; thougn
without a sense of humor, was the
young woman who, some one told
Thomas Caryle had said, “I accept
the universe as it is,” which made the
old man smile grimly as he remarked,
“what trouble she’q make for herself
if she insisted upon some other kind
lof a universe.” When Josiah Strong
| says, “This is the best world and the
best time for us, else the Creator
would have made the necessary
changes,” his flag was flying over the
palace.
There is joy in everything; music
and laughter evaen in hard work; while
the greatest difficulties embody im
measurable good and the darkest
clouds are embroidered with gold. In
his monologue entitled “At the Mer
maid,” what Browning makes Shakes
peare say, contains a beautiful des
cription of the flag streaming from
| the palace:
“I find earth not gray but rosy,
Heaven not grim but fair of hue;
Do I stoop? 1 pluck a posy,
Do I stand ang stare? lAll's blue.”
,ISHB.EDS OF ANCIENT GOWN
STILL CLING TO 8,000 YEAR
OLD LADY.
London, July 14, —Eve’s ‘3i.~4tor
‘\‘nn.s arrived in London,
She lies in a square deal paeking
- ase in the Egyptology section of the
Unliversity College, Gower street, and
‘she doesn’t mind in the least being
ealled the oldest V young woman i
the world.
Prof. Flinders Petric who has heen
re-awakening the centuries in Egypt
Las just brought this mummy to Lon
don. She is at least 8,000 years old.
Begides her Moses is quite a modern
voung fellow, and to her the twelva
Caesars are but as yesterday.
She lived in predynastiec Egypt <long
Lboforo history had begun. She was
thousands of years before the Pyra
mids and before men chipped on
‘stone the record of their lives and
times. Although other predynastic
skelnrtons have heen digecovered in
Egypt this is the oldest preserved
body of a woman ever known,
Experts say sho was about 20 years
io]d when she died. She lies with her
knees «drawn up to her chin and one
lhand resting before her mouth. Her
preservation is due to exposure in
the sun. She has been sun dried and
then left in the sands of Egypt while
empires rose and fell and centuries
like tides washed over the world.
Most of her hones are “xposed, a
pale amber eolor, and hern and there
a few tinches of neatly woven ecloth
adheres to them—her 8,000 years old
gown! Her head is wonderfully pre
served. Her oves were large, her fore
head broad, and she was certainly a
tall, slim girl,
’ The museam ‘in which she lies econ
tains some beautiful soft Egyptian
‘fnhrim. Perhaps some night a poor
little ghost will he sent looking for
‘a new dress, beeause at the moment
Eve’s sister fis by far the worst dress
ed woman in London.
