In her recent ad (t ress in Atlanta, she had likened jkhe state organization to a clock Rjthat was giving a marvelous ex- Hiihition of its running qualities.

NOTES FROM TIIE NATIONAL CONVENTION The Rights of a Child in a I)o moc racy The state superintendent of Ken tucky said. “This is the greatest convention we have had in Louis ville. The greatest because of what you stand for. The nation’s stabil ity depends upon the home. The force that rules the home is the child” Formerly we thought only of the duties of childhood. Today we un derstand the child has rights. First right, to he well born. Fun damental principles of eugenics should he taught in the home or school, but if neglected in the home then the school should teach them. Crime reproduces. Disease repro duces. Some restrictions must be imposed. Plea for Shephard-Town er bill.

A home in which the laws of health arc observed and the laws of man and God arc observed. Third: The right to a faith in a God. Religious instruction in the school; if nowhere else offers this service, then the school must teach this. Fourth: Right to live in a decent community. The community must be made to contribute more for the child. A community must he judged by its attitude toward childhood. Fifth: The right to a community for which to live and die. Can he no divided allegiances on American soil. There is room in America for one language, one flag, one soul and one loyalty. Then there are the individual rights of childhood. First: Play. Better to spend mon ey on playgrounds than court-: houses, innocent, decent, helpful play. The country church and the ' country store are passing and there must be some form of rural recrea tion to take their places. Second: Work. We must dignify labor. It has been reserved to our Southern mountains to resist the in vasion of our American ideals, in working our God's economy only the masses count. Parents must under stand that they hold their children in trust for their God and for their country. Dr. Tigert's Address—Burden of Woman I)r. Tigert said that all most fath ers know of the school is that Mary and John are in school. He cited the case of the Prodigal Father who, absorbed in business, lost the con fidence and companionship of his own sons. There must be a readjustment of the three most important factors in education, the home, the school and the church to meet modern con ditions. Today the family is “sel dom seated simultaneously 11 around the fireside. The church is also ef fected by the motion picture and automobile. The school does not suffer as much- There is a great educational renaissance hut the fu ture of our schools is threatened by a financial non-support. American women can help. The old-fashioned home will never come hack, hut wc must make the community safe through these associations of men, women and children. No organiza tion, not even the Teachers’ Asso ciations, accomplish som uch in this respect as the National Congress of Mothers and P. T. A. A prominent member of the president’s cabinet said he had rather have the support of this organization than any other in the country. One hundred thou sand schoolrooms were emptied during the war when S6OO was the average salary for teachers, There THE NEWS AND FARMER, LOUISVILLE. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1923. are now 186,000 one-room school houses. The average salary is less than S9OO a year, < less than the wages of a common laborer. We need more taxes for better schools in America, Where there were two hundred thousand in high school in 1890, there are now- two million. He described the greatest paint ing of the age as that of Whittier's Mather and placed another duty upon woman. That of preserving American ideals and institutions. He quoted a New York governor who recently said “Give me a hut that is small enough, a poverty that is deep enough, a love that is strong enough, a God that is real enough, and I will vouch for the character of this state ” How the Child Weaves the Web of Knowledge According to Prof. Reuben, Post Hallock, the child weaves the yeb of knowledge only from his own experience. We can never pass an idea ready made to a child. He never farms an idea of God outside his own experience. His idea of the Master comes from the sheep and the cold and the darkness. Sunday Schools were recently called the “obsolete,” they will never be ob solete as long as they throw the Good Samaritan on the screen. Gal leries never applaud the villain. Stable, moral, nation building homes are always founded on re ligion. Wc are so made that we must love the highest when we see it. A group of flappers were recently asked to name their favorite hero ine. Florence Nightengale received the most votes. She gave them some thing to weave their dreams around. We must weave the every-day re ligion of service into knowledge. The ideal of service as exemplified by the Master. The public schools must develop human beings, by giv ing them an opportunity to weave their web of knowledge from actual experience every day experience. “For Thou and 1 are next of kin.” The Baptist W.

HOLD FIRST CAUCUS IN CONNECTION WITH SENATE PRESIDENCY Carswell’s Forces Get Busy Almost Simultaneously with Arrival of Governor-elect Clifford Walker. PHILLIPS STRENGTH GOES TO CARSWELL Preliminary Arrangements For Organization of Both Branches Have Been Com pleted by Secretary. Atlanta, Ga., June 26.—The lines are all set for convening the 1923 general assembly at 10 o’clock to morrow morning. Practically all the house contests and they were merely minor, have been cleared out of the way. \V. Cecil Neill will lie elected speaker by acclamation and Richard B. Russell, Jr., speaker pro tern. George H. Carswell, of Wilkinson, will be elected president of the sen ate, and while it is not announced tonight that Senator Mundy will withdraw from the race, the fore cast was made in the Carswell cau cus at 11 o’clock, when 38 sena tors answered the Carswell roll call, that only one name would be of fered. Jim Gillis will be elected president pro tern, without oppo sition, in that branch, too. The mi nor faces arc about all set and out of the way. of Toombs, will,' it was definitely announced tonight, be made head of the senate commit tee, which this year looms into greatest prominence, that on appro priations, where the money sheet that is going to he the brunt of hard contest will get its final sift ing. The feature of the Carswell cau cus was the keynote sounded by Steph Pace, who, referring to the incidents in the past when legisla tion has been deadlocked, called on the majority of the senate, there assembled, to pledge themselves to harmony between the two houses, an effort at unprecedented co-opera tion and, in a sense the adoption of a general working program which will dovetail the work of the two branches. Atlanta, June 26. —Almost simul taneously with the arrival in At lanta of governor-elect flifford Wal ker and his family, who were met bv a large delegation of Mr. Walker s friends, the tensity in the situation around tlie election of president of the senate began to break. Mr. Wal ker s friends had takena very con siderable interest in that race, and some reports were circulated that ; the governor-elect himself hr.d taken ! a hand, but when the first caucus j in connection with the situation was held by tlie Carswell forces shortly before noon, it developed that, with |l2 senators not yet arrived, 24 sen ators attended the Carswell causus. made speeches in behalf of the Cars well candidacy and pledges their act ive support. In that caucus the list of absentees was cheeked and the, total accurately reported gave Sena-; tor Carswell a showing of more than j •35 out of the 50 senators who will be eligible to vote. Has Appreciable Effect. When the news of the caucus spread about the Kimball lobby there was an appreciable effect. Prior to the meeting the announce ment had been made that Senator John Phillips, of Louisville, had withdrawn from the race ajul would vote for Senator Mundy, but the Phillips strength went to Carswell. With the House main contests set tled. and the evidence that the sen ate situation would become clarified and likely settled before night, workers turned their attention to the minor races—for doorkeeper and messenger of the senate and the same positions for the House, and the afternoon was spent working on their campaigns. Preliminary arrangements for or ganization of both branches have been completed by Secretary Me* Clatchey and Clerk E. B. Moore, and it is anticipated now the organiza tion work will he over by 12 o’clock, immediately after which resolutions will be adopted in both branches providing for a joint committee to notify Governor Hardwick the as sembly is organized and ready for business. Arrangments will be made with that committee by the governor for a joint session Friday, when the final message of the retiring gover nor will be delivered. While it is not probably any further business will be transacted the first day, it is known efforts will he made to in troduce two or three resolutions; one of which will hear on the high way department, another seeking to fix July 4th as a special day for me morial exercises to the late Thomas E. Watson, both of which will come in the House. Must Declare Results. Thursday the law’ provides that the election returns of the last general election he canvassed by the legisla ture and the results declared, the probability being there will he no business thereafter. Prior to the meeting for that purpq.se, though, ef forts will be made to get in a num ber of early bills in both houses, and more than a dozen members have signified their intention of try. ing to get “No. 1“ on each calendar. One of the most important pieces of preliminary business will be the suggestion by Speaker Neill to the House that, in order to expedite busi ness from the beginning, the House provide that its rules committee he constituted an actual steering com mittee for the purpose of arranging daily the calendar of business and fj/r Suffer fW from sunburn? 1 iMENTHOLATUM kcools and heals.^ DEMONSTRATION OF FLORIDA PLAN OF BOLL WEEVIL CONTROL IN GRIFFIN, JULY 4TH Farmers and agricultural workers interested in learning all the de tails of the Florida Plan of 801 l Weevil Control, which has attract ed wide attention throughout the cotton belt will have an opportunity of hearing the originator of the plan, Dr. Geo. D. Smith, of Gaines ville, Fla., on July 4th. He will de liver a talk explaining the method and conduct an actual demonstra tion at the Georgia Experiment Sta tion, on that date. The Florida Sta tion with which he is officially con nected as Associate Entomologist has consented to lend him to Geor gia for this date with the warning that this is the last time this year he can be spared from his work. This arrangement affords a splen did opportunity for all interested in weevil control to thoroughly under stand this method which is being advancing the more important gene ral legislalion, these calendars to be upon approval of the house. Nomi nally the rules committee is always the steering committee, but in the early stages of the session there has not customarily been much attention paid to the order and arrangement of the daily calendar, except by num erical sequences of the hills. Under Speaker Neill’s plan, in which he has the full co-operation of Vice-chair man Millner, it will be possible for the house as a whole to work very closely behind the various commit tees on all the important general bills and prevent big legislation get ting pushed back and choked into the heel of the session, provided the committee advance them without un necessary delay. To Cooperate With Administration. Asa general proposition the plans for organization of both branches are more in line of facilitating move ment than has ever before been seen - or at least in very many years —and the outspoken intention of the leaders is to co-operate with the ad ministration in all its proposed con structive legislation. The plan* for Governor-elect Wal ker's inauguration were not known early this afternoon, the statement being made by some of his close friends that this work will likely be left until the legislature names a joint committee on inauguration, which probably will be done early after organization tomorrow. The purpose seems to be that the Gover nor's own committee and the legis lataive joint committee then will get together and work out the inaugu ration details. The exercises will be either in the House or on the Capitol grounds. Atlanta, Ga., June 26.—Something of a flareback to a part of Gov ernor Hardwick’s final message to the legislature has occurred even before the Governor has had op portunity to deliver the message, through the premature publication of part of its substance by a local afternoon newspaper. The thunderclap in the governor’s message was intended to be his at tack upon the state department of agriculture and his recommenda tions that the railroad commission be hewed down to three members and the prison commission lie abol ished entirely. The biggest support for his call on the legislature to get into the department of agriculture and trim that department down is in the form of an extensive letter from the Florida commissioner saying that three oil inspectors do the work in that state, and the claim that the Georgia department ought to he disrupted because the gover- FIRE!

Not Familiar With Laws Now comes the announcement that, when Commissioner Mcßae, of Florida, wrote Governor Hardwick the letter which he quotes, Mr. Mc- Rae was not familiar with the Geor gia laws and did not know the re quirements in this state, therefore, he has written a subsequent letter to Commissioner J. J. Brown which takes all the sap out of the letter to Governor Hardwick. In a similar effective way. Com missioner Brown makes public a letter from Commissioner Harris, of South Carolina—another of the states which Governor Hardwick used as a comparative illustration — in which the Carolina commissioner says the system worked in Georgia is better than that in South Caro lina and would be an improvement on the Carolina system. Governor Hardwick’s letter from the Florida commissioner takes up the matter of the distillation test of gasoline in lieu of the gravity test, and urges the former be adopted in this state. The letter which Mr. Brown has made public, from Mr. Mcßae, and of a subse quent date to the letter used by Governor Hardwick, follows: “Answering your inquiry, this is to advise that I estimated that we inspect one-tenth of the oil tank cars shipped into Florida. There is no move being made in this state to have local oil inspectors. If, how ever, each and every car of oil ship ped in was inspected, the number of oil inspectors would be greatly increased.” The following letter from the commissioner of South Carolina also was made public by Commissioner Brown: Greater Protection “Replying to your question will say that I know that a system of local oil inspectors, one in each town where an oil tank is located, would unquestionably give the peo ple greater protection and render f'HANBERLAINC L TABLETS J FOR CONSTIPATION BILIOUSNESS Headache INDIGESTION Stomach Trouble -SOLD EVERYWHERE the oil inspection service more ef ficient than a system which pro vides only a few traveling oil in spectors covering the state. Of course it is understood that all of the local inspectors be under the supervision of a chief inspector who would frequently visit all towns where tanks were located, and keep a close check on all work done by the inspectors. In addition to the test made by the local inspector, I believe that if a sample were drawn and forwarded to your laboratory to be analyzed according to a standard it would enable the laboratory and chief inspector to maintain a closer check upon the work done by the local inspector; that is in checking the specific gravity test.” In the same connection, and in reply to the position taken by Gov ernor Hardwick that the army and navy or distillation test of gasoline should be made, and in connection with the letters quoted, Commis sioner Brown has given out a state ment in which he says: “This department has favored a distillation test of gasoline for four years, and has recommended to the agricultural committees of the gen eral assembly that the djstillation test be added to tl\e present tests, in order to that much better protect the people of Georgia against low grade or dangerous oil and gas. With the distillation test added to our present inspection system wc would have the very best oil in spection in the United Stales, but it would defeat the very object of the inspection law if local inspec tors were done away with.” S.
