WHAT’S A CONSTITUTION
FOR?
The peak of radicalism—or one
of the highest peaks, is to be
■ found in the following plank of
the progressive platform:
“We favor submitting to the
people a constitutional amend
ment providing that congress
may, by enacting a statute, make
it effective over a judicial vote.
In other words, congress may,
by mere statutory enactment,
make an unconstitutional meas
ure constitutional.
This is deliberate subversion of
the constitution to tho whim of
congress—nothing else.
It is a definite scheme to e»
courage congress to act in de
fiance of the constitution; and, if
there is an impartial judicial de
cision that the constitution has
been violated, to set aside the au
thority of the courts arid of the
constitution itaelf by mete repi
iition of the congressional fiat.
Is the constitution worth hav
ing, or preserving, or obeying?
The so-called progressive plat
form thinks not.
The American people have here
tofore thought otherwise.
Because they have thought oth
erwise for a century and a half,
we have a constitution and a
constitutional freedom.

Mr. Shouse sees other parallels
that make the lesson of the Hil

for study by Mr. Btotler.
He sees a remarkable similar
ity of the issues between the par
ties, a basic similarity in the po
sition of the divided republican
party, and a fundamental simi
larity in the economic situation
good crops affording republicans
phantom excuse to hope that the
people will not vote for a change.
Says Mr. Shouse: “In 1912 (as
now) the republican campaign
managers filled the press with
blatant claims.
"Taft had his Hillis as Cool

“Taft had his Ballinger as Cool

“To say that the results at the
polls November 4 will not be the
same is to say that American
people are not the same they were
in 1912.”
Finally, Mr. Shouse suggests
that the proper formula is this:
“Taft ’is to Coolidge as eight
is to- tt
That helps to clear the air.
The air is further cleared by
the fact that defections from re
publicanism in 1924 are not con
fined largely to a third candidate
as they were in 1912, but Are com
ing to the democratic ranks in
swelling volume.
One of the constitutional
amendments to be ratified in the
election of November 4 is to pro
vide a zoning system by which
counties may issue joint bond is
sues for building roads. In that
way the larger and wealthier
counties can help the weaker ones.
The measure will help the poorer
counties get good highways and it
will help the larger centers toward
which ail of the highways run.
The measure ought to pass," says
the Valdosta Times.
The world war veterans are
very slow about sending in their
applications for adjusted compen

from the number of fellows com

stamped on application blanks.
Nearly 1,600 new motor bus

bad roads.

The Irishman was away on his
holidays. One morhing he came
down to breakfast with a very
worried frown on his face and an
open letter in his hand. He look
ed so gloomy and ate so little that
presently one of his fellow holiday
makers asked him what was the
matter.
He replied that he had just had
a letter from his sister to say that
she had had an addition to her
family.
<< You don’t look very pleased
about it,” answered the other. “Is
it a boy or a girl?”
That’s just what is bothering
me,” was the reply. “They didn’t

her, gave her sixpence.

old woman, “and may every hair

“Prohibition is going to bring

The “Hope” of Today.
“It is this type of woman—the
woman who refuses to be lulled by
a slogan—who is the hope of any
party today. I believe that women
voters, with few exceptions, are
asking questions, investigating is
sues hitherto bunched under a
generality, studying underlying
causes for certain legislative meas
ures and personally finding out
why the individual should support
a given reform to a greater extent
than ever before.

And while it has been said
the majority of women are not in

JAMES WADSWORTH, JR.
Senator James Wadsworth, Jr.,
credited with swinging the nomina
tion of Col. Theodore Roosevelt,
Jr., as Republican candidate for
governor of New York state, is
now looked upon as G. O. P. boss
of the state by political students.
Wadsworth assured the nomina
tion of young Roosevelt, it is said,
when the former swung his sup
port from Speaker Machold of the
state assembly to Roosevelt
U. S. Senator.
Wadsworth has been a U. S.
senator since 1914. He first
tracted political attention while
in the lower house of the legisla
ture of the Empire state when he
fought bitterely the direct primary
law advocated by the then Gover
nor Hughes. It is interesting to
recall at this time that young
Roosevelt’s father endorsed the
proposed law.
Wadsworth supported the war
policies of President Wilson, but
opposed strongly the entry of the
United States into the League of
Nations.
He married a daughter of John
Hay, regarded as one of America's
greatest statesmen and diplomats.
FICTION'S FASCINATION

Felt Terribly
Cheated
By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD
Claris Pitman faced a difficult
problem. She had made up her
mind to a June wedding with six
bridesmaids and the “Voice That
Breathed O’er Eden” sung softly
during the ceremony—and she had
not yet selected the groom.
Sometimes Claris pictured Jack
Dudley in the role—sometimes
Barry Cowles. Her mother rather
favored Jack and because of youth’s
contrariness, that frequently threw
her daughter’s favors Barryward.
“Oh, mother, what a heavenly
way to drape your veil 1” Claris
was thumbing an advance fashion
hook and gloating over its bridal
finery. “Oh, whut a darling sleeve!”
“Jack would adore you In it!’’
declared her mother promptly. “He
has unusual perception for a man
about clothes.”
So unlike Barry,” murmured
Claris. Barry Is too essentially
masculine to notice the difference
between one style and another.”
That is how the land lay. Soine
tbing would have to happen to
throw Claris’ preference violently
one way or the other if there were
t« be *;ny June wedding at all.
Will Nicholas, casually dancing
upon Claris' closest
friend Angeline, here enters upon
the scene ns deus ex macblna ai
tUough at the tlme no oue recog
nized him as such. The date of his
entry was the day of the parish
house party, a lavish entertainment
celebrating the opening of East
lawn’s new parish house. And now
on the very afternoon of the oc
casion Will Nlchola's who had
asked Angeline w$ist had carelessly al
lowed his to be broken crank
ing a refractory automobile and
had to remain at home, his aching
band in a sling, wrath In his heart.
Consequently Angeline went to
the party alone. Claris, however,
upon whom Jack and Barry as
siduously waited, insisted that they
draw lots to see which should take
Angeline home and it was (luring
that homeward stroll which had
fallen to Barry that events took a
new course.
“We all love Claris,” began An
said Barry promptly, “and
I’m afraid another fellow does!”
^Meanln??asted Angeline.
“Jack Dudley, of course.”
“Jack Is a good boy,” patronized
Ange |ine, “but my sympathies are
with you. Now, €> listen. I’ve an

jealous by Barry’s flirting with An
geline. Old stuff—oh, yes—but
still frequently effective on eaeh
generation as it comes along. Barry
hesitated, then screed.
Meanwhile Claris, sauntering
along with Jack through the silver
moonlight found her thoughts wan
dering until brought up short by
her companion’s serious tone and
more serious words.
“Claris, you’ve got to judge be
tween Barry and me. I’m sick of
this suspense. Pin goheg tor
a week and when I return I must
have your answer. One week front
tonight!”
A strange day followed for the
girl. No telephone messages, notes
or flowers from either Jack or
Barry. Late that afternoon An
geline called up to say that Barry
had Invited her to dinner and the
play afterwards. *
Claris hung up the receiver with
SPnsBfioH about her
henrt. Basely deserted by one man
and left In the lurch by another for
a week at the end of which she
rnu8t accept him as a flanee or
him forever! Knowing* what
her mother would advise. Claris
kept her predicament to herself.
After all there hurl never been
anything definite between Barry
and herself as she had invariably
warded off any attempts on his
part that hinted at a proposal.
The day for Jack’s return she
had not made up her mind. In a
flutter of dread she awaited his
coming, resolved to trust to the in
spiration of the moment when first
she saw him. Surely a girl ought
to know whether she loved a man
when she saw him for the first time
after an absence how-ever brief
Sitting In the couch hammock on
the dark veranda she heard with
beating heart approaching steps
that turned In at the walk
“Jack ! Cliirls rose to meet Mm
“Not Jack this time. Claris,” and
It was Barry’s voice. Then, “I
never heard you "speak my name
that way. Claris! And now. I’m
glad. You see, Angeline and I
started n little game, innocently
enough, which has turned out to be
something more than a game. 1
came to tell you that we are en
gaged to be married in June. I
hope you will wish us happiness.”
An hour later Claris was sitting
In the couch hammock with Jack’s
arm tenderly about her slender
shoulders. "I feel terribly cheated,’’
she was telling him. “1 thought 1
had two men to choose between and
then, as it turned out. I had no sav

for himself thnt he cared for nn
other und the other—well, he de
cided thnt I must love or lose him.”
“Thank Heaven, you didn't de
cide the latter! retorted Jack fer
vently.
“Thank Heaven. I didn’t,” echoed
Claris. “I—I really do love you.
Jack and—let’s discuss the wed
ding. June, of course, and six
hrldesmnids and ’The Voice That

EGGHEAD’S EPICS
v
THEY WON
WE GUESS everybody knows
by now who won the football
game Thursday, but in case you’ve
forgotten, we’ll refresh your mem
ory and tell you Lanier won it
and the score was exactly 47 to 0.
In case you don’t know how it
happened, Lanier made seven
touchdowns and kkked five g0als>
and that's all there is to it.
LANIER just h^d the best team.
She was fortunate in returning a
number of men from last year’s
squad, while Griffin lost most of
her men.
BAD SPORTS
A THING TO be regretted is the
demonstration that was staged be
tween the halves. Lanier’s team
was ahead and the student body
started a snake dance on the field.
Now, the students of the school
that is leading have the privilege
of the field between halves for
that purpose, We don’t know
whether to attribute it to ignor
ance or not, but a number of Grif
fin students waded in and pro
ceeded to break it up, resulting in
a number of free-for-all fights.
RELATIONS between the two
schools were also strained when
Lanier kicked on a number of
penalties imposed by the referee,
but we have no sympathy for
them in this instance, for Rod
Smarr, referee, is both competent
and 'conscientious.
WHAT IS FOOTBALL?
BETWEEN the halves when two
or three free-for-alls were in prog
ress, Coach Taliaferro approached
a local policeman and wanted to
know why he didn’t go out there
and help stop them. The cop re
turned a glance of amazement and
said, “I never have been to a foot
ball game before today. I watch
ed ’em during the first half and
when this started, I just thought
it was part of the game. ••
REMINDS us of the two Irish
men who were fighting and Pat
(as usual) paused to caution Mike
about roughness, saying, “Begor
ra, we’re just ^fighting. we ain’t
playing football.
INSURANCE
WHEN EGGHEAD went to work
in Atlanta, ope of the greatest
joys of the change was the fact
that he had eluded the trail of
about a dozen insurance agents.
He had been enjoying Jt immense
ly. But, alas! the other day Joe
Kincaid called on him and started
a nice little friendly chat that was
very pleasant until Joe casually
remarked that he had an attrac
tive proposition. After being
October *
u )
lured, enticed, inveigeled, carried
and otherwise taken to his office,
Joe and his boss backed Egghead
in one ^corner and talked insur
ance until it is still ringing in his
ears. ' -
IT MATTERS NOT where you
go, there are insurance agents on
your trail. What’s that line we
were thinking of? Oh, yes, there
ain’t no balm in Gilead.
* SUBLIME
REVERTING from the ridicu
lous, you might say, to the

sublime, ’’Blossom Time” is about
the best piay we ever saw. It
was playing a return engagement
at the Atlanta Theatre this week,
and from now on we can name
