THE ATLANTA SEMI WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1913. GIRLS! GIRLS! YOU MOST SURELY TRY THIS! IT DOUBLES THE BEftUTY OF All you need is a 25 cent b ottle of "Danderine” - gets lustrous, fluffy and abundant at once. Hair Immediate?—Yes! Certain?—that’s the jay of it. Your hair becomes light, •wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a ycung girl’s a*ter a Danderine hair cleanse. Just try this—moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or excessive oil and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. A delightful surprise awaits, partic ularly those who have been careless, whose hair has been neglected or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin. Be sides beautifying the hair, Danderine dissolves . every particle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and fall ing hair, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks’ us£ of Dan derine, - when you will actually see new hair—fine and downy at first—yes—but really new hair growing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty, soft hair, and lots of it; surely get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter and just try it.

SVe hear the dip of the golden oars ♦And catch a gleam of the snowy sail, And, lo, they have passed from our yearning hearts; They cross the stream and are gone for aye. We may not sunder the veil apart That hides from our vision the gates of day; We only know that their bark no more May sail with us o’er life’s stormy sea. These lines came with peculiar force to my mind in thinking of the “passing over” of two of my childhood friends, who were at the same time two of Georgia’s most distinguished women. I allude to Mrs. H. C. White, of Athens, and to Mrs. Livingston Mims, who was buried last Sunday in the 'city of At lanta. Both were so well known to the people of Georgia and in other states that I would be only repeating words of praise that have been sounded already, time and again. They were noble and true. We heard “the dip of the golden oars” In the case of Mrs. Mims, who had been an invalid for several months, but Mrs. White’s sudden death in Augusta was a shock to even those most familiar with her daily life. In the midst of zeal and activity, with no warning whatever, she passed so quickly from yearning hearts that her nearest and dearest were unaware of any danger before she “had crossed the ocean and w r as gone for aye.” I had a very close friend, who died over three years ago, who passed to the beyond while he was looking into my jyes and holding my hand. We had been voyaging together “o’er life’s stormy sea” for nearly sixty years, and he knew my thoughts, as I well knew his. His departure was beautiful in ifs peace and serenity, and he knew he was going and wanted me to “stay close” —Since that time Death has nev er seemed so appalling to me. While I could not “sunder the veil apart,” I was near enough to see the smile of peace and joy that irradiated the dying face, after I was left on the outside io far as he was concerned. Our Heav enly Father’s tender mercies wer,e free ly given in that parting hour of stress and strain, and the end was peace, beautiful peace. A PLAY IN POLITICS. The bill that passed the senate to make one-term presidents, has some comic features attached to it. Whenever the public becomes satisfied that some one individual is aimed at, a spirit of resistance is born instanter. There will be two ex-presidents after March 4th, and Mr. Wilson is likely willing to succeed himself, despite this one-term legislation. So there will be an issue joined at once, and the fun will begin. Mr. Taft cannot ever expect to run again, so the contention will lie be tween Woodrow and Teddy, for the c^pmaign of 1916, ana Woodrow’s friends are not going to shelve him, whatever happens. It will need some hair-splitting tactics to make Teddy take a back seat, under such circum stances, and there is nothing so potent In politics as a well-established griev ance, that can be elaborated on the stump, by skilful politicians and to arouse resentment. \ Nevertheless, one-term for presidents is manifestly right and proper. It would divest the office of ten thousand harassments in curbing partisan strife and the clamor of applicants. The bane Df a congressman’s life is the persistent clamor of office seekers. And it is his friends, not his enemies, which annoy nis peace of mind. Multiply his vex ations by ten thousand or maybe ten times that number and you will begin to understand the bane of a president’s life. Everybody flatters him, and his adherents buzz around hi to get pa tronage until the position is full of worry tb his ind and body. It has ahortfened - the days of the great ma jority of ex-presidents find since the war four of those elected to the office have been made the victims of an as sassin’s bullet. All were victims of anarchist hate and tnere has been no percentage of motrality so great among classes as this death rate among pres idents. If the single term o ce can lessen the danger and secure less ve hemence to political campaigns we may rest assured it will be a long step for ward .to better conditions in politics. JEWEL THIEVES. I read of a woman in yesterday’s newspaper who was traveling to London on a great ocean liner, and who de clared she had been robbed of $2,000, in jewels. The captain and all the people around went to searching for the woman’s jewels, and finally they were discovered in her muff where she had placed them herself. This was a rare case of good luck as well as a very common case of forgetfulness on the part of the owner. But jewel robbers are amazing plen tiful if the every day reports are to be fully credited. I always did wonder, why people who had costly jewels were apparently so careless with them, especially when traveling. When a fortune in gems is displayed, the opportunity Is great for burglars an-5 thieves, especially in chanc ing halls, where the owner may dis place them during violent exercise. I suppose those who have them feel con strained to show them—so we may ex pect to hear of diamond thefts—as long as diamonds are thus exhibited. Blessed therefore ‘‘am they that ’spects noth- ing, because dey hab nothin’.” Thou sands of people, like myself, can go on a trip—quite secure in the knowledge that they will not be suspicioned of owning costly jerms; and per contra, I can suppose that those who travel with costly jewels lose many moments in anxiety. I saw somewhere, an account of the value of jewels, that went down with the Titanic. It went up into millions, and so far as known they will only display their brilliancy to deep sea fishes and the, things which trail for dead bodies. All sorts of devices have been used to secrete jewels about the person, but the chances are nearly all against, safe ty; and the number of lives which have been sacrificed because jewel thieves were after booty, perhaps, eternity alone can tell. REACH JURY FOREMAN SAYS ‘TOO MUCH WATSO' Declares There Was “Not Enough Sherlocko” to Make Case Serious (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) AIKEN, S. C., Feb. 8.—F. O. Beach was acquitted Friday afternoon in tho Aiken county court of the charge of as saulting his wife. The jury was out ex actly one hour and forty-five minutes. Mr. Beach was not in the -court room when the verdict was read, having gone to lunch during the recess of court, but he arrived a few minutes later and'at once went to the jury box and shook hands with members of the jury. “There was absolutely nothing to the case,” the foreman told Mr. Beach. “There was too much ‘Watso’ and not enough ‘Sherlocko.’ ” Beach laughed gleefully and slapped the foreman on the back. Mrs. Beach did not return to the court room. The foreman explained that the delay in reaching a verdict was due to the fact that one or two jurors wanted to “discuss everything under the sun ex cept the case.” Mr. Beach shook hands with the judge, donned his great fur coat and went to join Mrs. Beach at the hotel. There was no’ demonstration of any kind whey the verdict was rendered. CONGRESS ASKED TO SAVE DECATUR’S FRIGATE (By Associated Press. 1 WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Representa tive J. Hampton Moore, of Pennsylva nia, in a sp'eech on Stephen Decatur and 'the gallant frigate Philadelphia, urged the house today to appropriate money to recover the Philadelphia’s hull and relics, now under water in the harbor of Tripoli. Mr. Moore said that if the recovery were attempted before the Italian government proceeds with con struction work which may obliterate the wreck forever, relics could be re covered at a cost not exceeding $12,000 or $15,000.

DEIFYING THE BALLOT I fiy (Bishop AND DETHRONING GOD I W. A. Canaler In a meeting of reformers recently held at Indianapolis, Ind., a man from California was reported as saying, “God will never settle the liquor question be cause he has no vote.” This blasphe mous utterance was made in support of a proposition to separate the national prohibition party from all church or ganizations. No one will object to the prohibition party removing itself from asosciation with any and all churches; for no church lias ever been connected with it. Individual members of all the churches h8ve affiliated with that party, just as ethers, have acted with the other po litical paries; but no church has ever endorsed the national prohibition party nor asked to be endorsed by that party. It seems a bft useless for these gentle men to be engaged in an effort to sepa rate their party from “all church or ganizations” when it has never had any connection with any church organiza tion whatsoever, unless they mean to expel from their party all church mem bers -who have acted with them, and this they can hardly intend. But this wo,rse than flippant utterance of one of them to the effect that “God has no vote” is an illustration of a prevalent fojly which deserves condem nation. Multitudes in our ebuntry are cverestimating the power of the ballot box and underestimating the power of Christ and His gospel. They are deify ing the ballot and dethroning God. It is not unnatural that people living under a republican form of government should attach importance to the fran chise, but it is also very easy for them to think it more potent and important as a moral force than it really is. What one relies on in every extremity Is by such trust constituted his god, and this over-trust of the ballot begins to approach idolatry upon the part of some people. Moreover, it is a most shalolw and ab surd idolatry, there being no facts of history to justify it. The miserable maxim of “vox populi est vox dei” is contradicted by every page of history. Majorities do not settle great moral is sues. Minorities, made potent by Gcrd, have overthrown all the wrongs which have yet been conquered among men and established all the right things which have been victorious in the earth. The cause of prohibition, for example, has been advanced, not by the poli ticians, but by the progress of moral sentiment which has resulted from an aggressive Christianity in our land. The liquor interest cares very little for what the leaders of the national prohibition party do or say; but it takes notice of the acts of the Christian churches and he Christian ministry. But for the churches there would be no prohibition statutes and no potent temperance senti ment in the United Sates. In coun- ries where there is no Christianity, or only a Christianity of a low type, there is no movement of any sort for tem perance reform. In all lands moral pro gress of every kind waits on the coming of the militant gospel of Christ. In the first century, when the unvoting Roman Empire stretched its authority over the known world, Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ^ for it is the power of God unto salvation”. Chris tianity was then in its infancy, and the power of the Roman Empire was at its full strength. But the infant faith soon triumphed over the dominant empire without casting a ballot or unsheathing a sword. So little does Christ rely on political forces to establish His kingdom among men it was the suggestion of the devil that he depend upon such forces which he put away with the most vehe'mence when he -was tempted in the wilderness. “The devil taketh up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them; and said unto Him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down artd worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.” Jesus refused the sug gestion that he “stoop to conquer”, knowing, as some seem not to know, that he who stoops to conquer is really conquered by stooping. He advanced to his enthronement by way of the cross, and not by way of a political messiah- ship. It is a thousand pities that so many who profess and call themselves Chris tian nowa-a-days do not follow the steps of the Master in this regard. But they act as if our ‘Lord were utterly power less without the help of a majority vote approving the laws of His kingdom and the aid of the constabulary of the civil government to execute his decrees. Hence they make much of votes, and lit tle of God’s power; and thereby they be come atheistic reformers. Yet atheistic reformers (and there have been many of them) never have accomplished any worthy and lasting good among men. The fact is that this excessive de pendence upon votes by the American people has beep the ruin of many prom ising reformations in politics even. Our people have felt too often that when the right has won at the ballot box, there was* nothing more to be done; and they have lost many a victory by falling asleep on their arms from the soporific en. Where these blind reformers most abound “blind-tigers” do most prevail. The best law in the world can not en force itself. And the purest and most effect of believing too much in the effect of a vote. Permanent good is not so easily won. Right is secured by eternal vigilance. Many in Georgia imagined that -when the prohibition law was passed by the Legislature and approved by the Gov ernor, all liquor selling and all drunken ness would instantly disappear from state; but they find themselves mistak- potent human authority can enforce only partially the most wisely con ceived statutes. With God only are found perfect laws and perfect Judge ment. Let us make the best govern ment we can; but let us know at the same time that all man-made systems, whether made by the decrees of kings or by the votes of popular majorities, are but poor clumsy things ineffctual for the accomplishment of the highest good. The final civilization of the world is not a government created and imposed upon men by the votes of the majority, but it is the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. So John saw it on Patmos, and his revelation from Jesus Christ can be trusted as we can not rrust the Visionary theories of secular reformers who leave God out of their plans “because He has no vote.” (Revelation xxi:2). This over-estimating the value of a vote will at last lead men to despair of good government and end in revolu tion. Aristotle said government went by cycles, and that in the end popular government yielded to absolutism. That may seem impossible to us, but it is not so. When men have been disappointed by universal suffrage and find irre sponsible majorities working the most republsive oppressions, they turn natu rally to some strong man who by force of arms proposes to put matters to right. The “man on horse-baek” ♦natu rally follows the frantic and conscience less mob at the polls. No majority can sanctify wrong; and a majority which does wrong soon wearied of its own wickedness. For a time majorities follow the lead of the demagogues who flatter them, and then they turn and rend these wretches who have deceived them. Final ly, utterly wearied with their vain ef forts to get good government by voting, they submit to the domination of some strong man whom they trust to achieve that which they have proved themselves unable to accomplish. That is what the trend towards commission govern ment? in American cities means. It is a symptom of distrust of popular gov ernment upon the part of urban commu nities. This distrust will deepen with the extension of tbe right of suffrage; for the more incompetent and untrust worthy voters, who put ballots in a box, the more doubtful are the chances of good government. The American people should abandon this superstition of the ballot box, and return to God. Their well-being is not to be wrought out by the extension of suffrage, but by the cultivation of that heaven-born righteousness which exalteth nations. They are not to be saved by referendum, but by regenera tions. A revival of religion is more needed in the United States than any and every political reformation that visionaries can conceive however benevolent. Ministers of the gospel would do well to give themselves to the work of bringing to pass such a revival, rather than to expending their energies on "so cial” programmes and reform “move ments.” The sinners in our midst make ’’the houses in our midst; and the saving of sinners is .the supreme business of Christ and His church. It is time to call men back to God when leaders in reform movements be gin to speak of the Supreme Ruler of the Universe contemptuously because “he has no vote.” He with whom is all power in heaven and in earth does not need to be enfranchised by the petty governments of men ^before He can work the mighty and blessed ends of his di vine kingdom. Wilson Is His Own Stenographer While Drafting His Speech (By Associated Press.) PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 8.—Presi dent-elect Wilson today completed the first draft of his inaugural address. He acted as his owrf stenographer in pro ducing the document. He began sketch ing it in shorthand % on Thursday and resumed the task today, copying the notes himself on a little typewriter in his studio. It is about 2,000 words long, he said, but he may add to or abbreviate it further. “I haven’t looked up any of the other inaugural addresses,” he said, “so I don’t know whether this one is longer or shorter.” He indicated he was not quite satis fied with the address and might change it somewhat before giving it to the newspapers for advance distribution. The governor’s attention was called to the report alleging that Senator Wil liam Alden Smith of Michigan, had charged democratic senators with having been inspired by the president-elect to block confirmation of Mr. Taft’s nomi nations. <‘Yes, I saw that report,” remarked the governor but made no further com ment. The governor was told of the predic tion in some quarters that the dispatch of four warships to Central American waters augured further disturbances in Latin-America which might come to a head in a few months. “I am as yet uninformed about these things;” he said. The president-elect will spend Sun day at home with his family. Boy Scouts to Care For Fainting Marchers In Inaugural Parade WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—The Boy Scouts will be given, an opportunity to demonstrate the value of their training on inauguration day.

In addition eight large Boy Scouts will act as litter carriers with each ambulance. Another aid to the hospital corps in summoning help will be twenty-five tel ephones along the parade route. These will be connected by private telephone wires with the police headquarters, where the main first aid station will be located. At several points there will be other emergency hospitals in charge of phy sicians and trained nurses. One of these will be near the large stand on Pennsylvania avenue in front of the White House and opposite the presi dent’s reviewing stand. Another will be near Union station and will care foi passengers ( who may become ill on trains. FOR SIXTEEN YEARS MAN SWALLOWS NO FOOD Food Reaches Stomach by a Glass Tube and Is Di gested Perfectly CHICAGO, Feb. 8.—Fred C. Vicok, who for sixteen years has smallowechno food, is giving aid to science through obser vation .of his digestion process, accord ing to Prof. W. J. Carlson, assistant in the department of physiology at the University of Chicago. By means of a glass tube through which an electric light is introduced into the man’s stomach, Dr. Carlson last night said he had been able to ob serve and, photograph the food at every stage during the process of digestion. Since he was eleven years old Vicok has taken food through a tube leading from the abdomen into the stomach, the oestophagus having been convpetely closed when he swallowed a strong solu tion. The man was found working at his trade here as a barber several months ago. Although it was intended that only liquids should be taken through the tube Vicok developed an ap petite for meats and vegetables and after masticating them, successfully in troduced them into the stomach through tbe tube. $160,000 for Chur&h (By Associated Press.)

Cure for Infantile Paralysis Is Found, So Doctors Claim (By Associated Press.^ BUFFALO, Feb. 7.—The study of in fant le paralysis during the epidemic here last July has resulted in discoveries which, it is claimed, will result in find ing a cure for the disease, according to health commissioner Fronczak. The dis ease is caused by a germ which is ultra-miscroscopic, a discov ery resulting from experiments by Dr. Simon Flexner and Dr. Hidego Noguchi, of the Rockefeller Institute of fMedical Research, made from cultures obtained during th e epidemic here. The virus re suiting from the germ has been discov ered, however* and from this a cure can be worked out, it is claimed. “These experiments,” said Dr. Fronc zak, “will greatly assist the medical scientists in battling with the malady. Washings from the mouths and noses of children afflicted with the disease here were taken to the Rockefeller institute, these affected monkeys inoculated to found that the filtrate always brought out the same characteristics of the dis ease. Filtrate of th e spinal cord of Monkeys were inoculated and it was other monkeys resulted in the same ef fect. “It was discovered that the virus will go through the nest filters and even porcelain. By the identification of the virus a tremendous advance in the ulti mate arrest of the disease has' been made. It is now a settled fact that the stable fly is responsible for the spreadi ng of the germs. We are now planning to eliminate every possible danger and the key to the elimination will be the wiping out of the stable fly.” In Girlhood Womanhood K OR CHILD SLAYER PAROLED FROM LIFE SENTENCE TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 8.—After serving twenty-five years of a life sentence for the murder of his eleven-months-old baby B.
