MOTHER'S BOY.
Have you seen a gallant courtier
With a bright and pleasant face,
E\ r er ready, at his queens command,
To serve with loyal grace?
Have you marked him walk beside her
With a step of pride and joy?
You would know him in a moment—
Mother's boy!
Quick to note the passing trouble
In the face to him so dear;
Always eager to espouse her cause
With a heart unknown to fear.
Oh, the twining arms, the kisses,
Smoothing o’er her days’ annoy!
Where’s the mother who'd not miss him
Mother's boy!
What to her the years that, ebbing.
Leave her lonely on life’s shore?
What to him the youthful hours that
fly.
And light his path no more?
She is still the queen he worships
With a service crowned with joy.
He will be to her forever
Mother’s boy!
Feerless chivalry of childhood,
Tell us who has gained the prize
In the war and struggle of the world,
Among the great, and the wise?
’Tis the heart that never faltered
In life’s dearest, best employ—v
Faithful service to a mother—
Mother's bdy!
—GEO. COOPER.
There is not a mother, young or old,
who will not say amen to this little
poem. There are some of us who have
had such dear boys, who have gone
away into the Great Beyond, but whose
memory is kept green in our heart of
hearts.
I have noticed that boys who are
good to their mothers generally. make
good husbands and good fathers . to
their own children when these duties
are laid upon them in after years.
Nothing is more repulsive to stranger
visitors than to see a grown man rude
and neglectful of his mother. It is
considered an acid test of character.
Perhaps the old mother has grown
children and not so generally pleasant
as she was when life was fuller of
friends and prosperity, but the man
should never forget that she bore with
him when he wks an unlovely , peeling
infant, and nobody else cared to be
troubled with him. She, however, loved
her child and she gave him the best
that was in her, unpleasing to outsid
ers and yet she did stick to him and
would have spent her life’s blood to
make him great or famous. The com
mandment given from Mount Sinai to
Moses gives the Lord’s idea of what
a human being owes to its ’parents. The
promise of long life is given to the
dutiful ones, whi^e there is an awful
curse upon those who scoff and revile
father and mother. Mother’s boy is a
proud title for noble boys
THE LUCIFER MATCH.
AM going to write about one of the
humblest but one of our most use-
I ful servants. We call upon it fur fre-
| quent and contfnous service during
three hundred and sixty five days in
the year. I allude to the matches
that we strike to make a fire to ignite
the gas with to start the kindling in
the cook stave, and last but not least
fire up the cigars, cigarettes and pipes
WOMAN SUFFERED
TEN YEARS
From Nervousness Caused by
Female Ills—Restored to
Health by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound.
Auburn, N. Y. — “I suffered from
nervousness for ten years, and had such
organic pains that
sometimes I would
lie in bed four days
at a time, could not
eat or sleep and did
not want anyone to
talk to me or bother
me at all. Some
times I would suffer
for seven hours at a
time. Different doc
tors did the best
they could for me
until four months ago I began giving
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound a trial and now I am in good
health.” — Mrs. William H. Gill, 15
Pleasant Street, Auburn, New York.
“Doctor’s Daughter Took It.**
St Cloud,Minn.—“I was so run down
by overwork and worry that I could not
stand it to hdve my children talk aloud
or walk h*eavy on the floor. One of my
friends said, ‘ Try Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, for I know a doc
tor’s daughter here in town who takes
it and she would not take it if it were
cot good.’
“ I sent for the Compound at once and
kept on taking it until I was all right. ”
—Mrs Bertha M. Quickstadt, 727 5th
Avenue, S., St. Cloud, Minn.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound may be relied upon as the most
efficient remedy for female ills. Why
don’t you try it?
of the multitudes, and v.. use them
by the dozens every day.
Stop a minute and think if you can
go anywhere to get help quite as often
as you go to the box of matches in
your daily life, you use countless num
bers of them.
I concluded to trace their origin and
find that the making of matches was
the result of fln accident. A Mr. Isaac
Holclin. a chemist in England had to
rise before day to pursue his studies in
chemistry and was often hindered in
getting a light by flint and steel. He
was giving lectures to a very large
academy, and he understood the danger
of using high explosives for instantan
eous light. He experimented by plac
ing sulphur under the explosive ma
terial. He told his class of his success.
A youn; student who was present,
wrote to his father who was a chem
ist in London, and gave him the story
of the teacher of lecturer’s experi
ment with sulphur and explosives.
Shortly afterwards the Lucifer match
(as the first were called,) was pub
lished to the world; and we actually
dont know what we would do, if the
match industry was eliminated. 1
have vivid recollection of confederate
matches. A block of very dry wood
was sawed down about two inches in
to very small diversions. The top of
these, very small peices was thickly
plastered over with the paste of phos-
porous to. make them ignite, you set
the block of wood on your mantel
shelf and broke off a little strip when
ever you wanted to strike a light.”
They were clumsy enough but made
a good substitute for the approved ar
ticle. Matches are the usefullest cheap
articles that I know anything about
ahead of salt, as to cheapness.
SUFFRAGISTS AGAIN
STORM THE CAPITOL
Mrs, LaFollette and Mrs, Shaw
Address Members and Ask
for the Ballot
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 26—Suffra
gists, for the second time in a week,
again stormed the Capitol to argue why
women should have the ballot and be
admitted to suffrage on the same plane
as men .through the adoption of a con
stitutional amendment.
'Chief among those present to plead
for suffrage was Mrs. Shaw, president of
the National American Woman’s Suf
frage association. She was ably sec
onded by Miss Helen Varrick Boswell,
president of the Woman’s National Re
publican association, Mrs. Harvey W.
Wiley, wife of the former pure food
advocate; Mrs. William Kent, wife of
a representative from California, and
several others.
Two senators, Shaffroth, of Colorado,
and Brady, of Idaho, and the wives of
two members of the upper house of
Congress, also were ready to advance
arguments for the “cause.”
The women were Mrs. Robert M. La
Follette and Mrs. Sutherland, of Utah.
Representative Bryan, of Washington
state, also was among the pleaders.
Mrs. LaFollette argued that women
were as vitally interested in tariff leg
islation zts the men, and declared that
every Important piece of legislation be
fore congress in the last wenty years
had affected women equally.
"If the tariff in any way affects the
price we pay for what we eat and
wear, if the trusts and combinations
have anything to do with the high cost
of living, women should understand
about It,” said Mrs. LaFollette.
“If the prices of the great staples
like beef, sugar, oil, cotton, woolens,
are fixed by monopoly, if the tariff af
fects the cost of the children’s food
and clothes, the only radical way to
right the wrong is through national
legislation.
“Women do the buying. Ninety per
cent, of ten billion dollars paid out
annually in the United States for food,
clothing, shelter, is spent by women.”
Mrs. LaFollette said she was not one
of those who believed that equal suf
frage would bring about any immediate
radical changes and declared that the
real issue in the suffrage struggle was
whether it was in the interest of the
home and of society, which she main
tained it was.
Miss Helen Varrick Boswell argued
that a federal law would be the quick
est and surest way to procure equal
suffrage.
QUITMAN WOMEN
WILL ORGANIZE CLUB
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
QUITMAN, Ga., April 25—A move
ment has been launched here this week
to organize a woman’s club along the
lines of those composing the state fed
eration. The club is to be a depart
ment club and it is planned to make the
civic work the chief feature of the club.
The Woman’s Civic league, which has
done so much to make Quitman a
“spotless town.” operates under the
aspices of the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution, which restricts its scope
somewhat.
The women have several projects in
view, among them a Carnegie library,
and they feel they can accomplish more
organized as a club. Mrs. Z. I. Fitz
patrick, a former Quitman woman, is
now president of the State Federation of
Woman’s clubs and she lias been par
ticularly anxious to haye a club or
ganized here and will assist in the
project.

I F personal character is a mere mat
ter of outward circumstances,
rather than of inward nature, then
the hardiest form of fatalism is the true
philosophy of life and destiny.
Many imagine that the theory of fa
talism has been utterly and universally
renounced by all intelligent people, that,
it is an exploded superstition of an
cient paganism. But there are many
evidences around us to show that it
was never more prevalent and potent
In its hold upon men. It has been ex
orcised from theology, and it no longer
appears publicly in theologic terms.
But it lias entered into philosophy and
literature, penetrating to the very
depths; and It is affecting even relig
ious activities and social movements.
The materialistic philosophy explains
every man by his heredity and environ
ment; and these terms are accepted as
accurately accounting for everything
which appears in personal character and
conduct. This system of thought meas
ures the force of any life, both quali
tatively and quantitatively, by the sup
posed nervous energy that has been
transmitted to it by its ancestors or
developed by its circumstances. Pro
fessor Tyndall, who accepted it without
reservation or disguise, flatly affirmed
that all men live In a realm of “phys
ical and moral necessity.” Multitudes
agree with his dictum.
Biography is written from the stand
point of this philosophy of necessity,
and the lives of great men are analyzed
to show that they were “the product
of their times.”
Dr. Henry Van Dyke says most truly
that “there are many men )vho are,
consciously or unconsciously, preach
ing the same black creed of Necessity
i n the subtle forms of literary art, and
multitudes are silentl/ accepting it as
gospel truth. Fatalism broods over
modern fiction and the modern drama
like a huge, shapeless spectre; and its
Influence is felt in all the judgments
and conceptions and sentiments of a
society which finds its chief pabulum
in novels and plays.”
Many churches and preachers are pro
jecting their plans and shaping their
methods under the influence of the fatal
istic notion that character is the result
of heridity and environment; and so they
make much of sociological exegencies
and make little of scriptural regenera
tion. They proceed to the effort regen
erating the inhabitants in what are call
ed “the slums of the cities,” by cleaning
up the habitations found in these dis
tricts, using freely whitewash brushes
and paint, bath tubs and screens, sup
plying the slum dwellers with new
clothes and “properly cooked food.’ They
seem to forget that fashionable streets
are often as foul morally as the worst
of the “slums,” although these avenues
occupied by the affluent, are adorned
with the most comfortable and luxuri
ous dwellings in which rich people riot
and rot while clothed in costly apparel
and faring sumptuously every day.
This whole plan of redemption, which
BISHOP WARREN A. CANDLER.
has been aptly called “salvation by soap
and song,” reached a ridiculous climax
In California recently. The sociological
organization In that state called “The
League of Justice,” has framed a bill,
which Dr. Snow, of the California board
of health, is trying to push through the
legislature, to establish “a human stock
farm.”* The bill calls for an appropria
tion of $100,000 to purchase and equip a
1,900-acre farm on which to place twen
ty-five select couples with a view to
propagating ideal offsprings from choice
stocks under idlyyic conditions and un
der the supervision of experts. One edi
tor commenting on this coarse and bru
tal proposition says it is “engenico run
mad;” but he is mistaken. This vulgar
scheme is just the materialistic view of
human life carried relentlessly with log
ical end.
If humanity is to be redeemed by im
proving its heredity and environment,
that is the way to do it. If the scheme
is wise and proper, it needs to go one
step further, however: it ought to pro
vide for killing out all the blemished
and defective men and women in the
commonwealth, and for prohibiting any
others of their sort coming into the state,
just as infected cattle are excluded from
interstate commerce.
Now this whole false system of
“character by circumstances” Is work
ing vast harm. It is causing multi
tudes to look upon their sins as being
misfortune rather than misconduct. By
consequence, we find much self-pity
abroad in the land, but precious little
penitence for past wrong-doing and
less resolute purpose for future right
doing. All our sinners are sinning be
cause they just “can not help it.”
Drunkards debauch themselves, dis
honor their families, and shame their
children because they are “so weak”
they “can not resist temptation.'
To Silently Lend a Hand
And Aid Without Publicity
Is Object of Charity Clan
Savannah Organization Will
Not Go Through Details of
Investigation, But Will Give
Help to Individual Needs
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
S AVANNAH, Ga., April 26.—“Let
not thy right hand know what
thy left hand doeth,” is to be
the motto of the Silent Co-Operative
Brotherhood, a unique charitable or
ganization which has recently been or
ganized in Savannah.
The object of the silent brotherhood
is to aid without embarrassing; to give
without flaunting the gift, and to lend
a hand wherever and whenever it is
needed—not to encourage poverty, but
to stimulate the working impulses of
those whom they are called upon 10
help, but at all times to render aid at
once when it is needed.
It is recognized as a fact that it is
often true that in cases where aid it
needed and application is made to
some organized charity much delay is
experienced in “investigating.” The
silent brotherhood will eliminate inves
tigation prior to helping. They hold
that when a person needs assistance
there is not time for investigation of
his character, and that besides a per
son’s character has nothing to do with
the fact that he is needy.
NO PUBLICITY SOUGHT.
Worthy people who are temporarily
“on their uppers” will not be embar
rassed by investigations. The names
of those helped by the brotherhood
will never be mentioned before the so
ciety. Each member will be expected
to look after whatever comes to his
notice, and beyond this he will know
nothing of the other people who are
aided by the organization. This is one
of the most popular features in the
organization. The members realize that
too often charity is used as a means
of advertisement, and that such is not
true charity. Their object will be to
aid the worthy at all times in an unos
tentatious way, doing their work qui
etly and without the knowledge even
of each other. This, they believe, is
doing with the right hand without the
knowledge of the left.
Families needing aid, even if there is
a worthless man hanging around, will
receive it. However, the man will be
gotten a position, and either made to
go to work or support his family or
answer to a charge of vagrancy in
some form. The society is to act as
an employment agency for people out
of work. They believe the truest char
ity is in aiding others to help them
selves.
A list of firms needing help will be
kept by the Rev. John S. Wilder, pas
tor of the South Side Baptist church,
one of the moving spirits in the organ
ization and when a case where a man
is willing to work is brought before
the society ther* will be little time lost
in placing that man in a position if his
intentions are to do the right thing
by his family. Otherwise he will be re
ported to the police and given work
by the county.
TWENTY-FIVE MEMBERS.
The society is non-sectarian and in
ter-sectarian. There are twenty-five
initial ne-mbers of the organization,
representing practically every faith in
Savannah. The desire of the founders
is to en 1st the labors of. every man
in the community; to become a light
ly, silent working organization which
can reach into the homes of the un
fortunate rendering assistance in a
quiet, unassuming way, without pub
lishing their poverty to the world.
True crarity will be the keynote of
the organization, and therefore the to
will be no dues. The raembeis will not
be asked to give any statfed amount to
the furthering of the work. There Will
be no collections or exhortations lor
money at the meetings of the brother
hood. At the close of each meeting
there will be a voluntary offering. A
box will be. placed at the door into
which the members will drop their of
ferings sealed in envelopes and with
out the.r signatures.
The reason for this is that the or
ganizers desire to enlist the co-opera
tion of people in every walk of life,
and they realize that if there is a col
lection taken or a system of titbeing
there will be men who will stay out
of the society for the reason that
they cannot afford to give on the sea!**
of the moro fortunate members, and one
of th< j objects is to make the society a
cosmopolitan body. In this manner the
society will take another step toward
removing its workings from display in
any form.

Young women run to ruin, and then
excuse their lapses from virtue by
complaining of small wages, as if
chastity were a .thing of dollars and
cents.
Sociological quacks are pattering
around with soothing syrups and pain
killing prescriptions as the moral pan
aceas for all the disorders of man
kind. We are urged to Took for mil
lenniums of righteousness brought to
pass by rectifying social conditions
rather than regenrating human souls.
The whole programme is a delusion
and a snare.
Character is not a mere matter of
circumstances. All history contra
dicts this fatalistic dogma. Under the
most adverse conditions the highest
virtue has been exhibited; there have
been Daniels in Babylon, Josephs in
Egypt, and faithful souls in the worst
times and places, shining as heavenly
lights upon crooked and perverse gen
erations. Luther arose in Germany in
the age of Leo X, and Wesley wrought
righteousness in England when the
Georges were reigning and Walpole
was running his career of shameless
bribery.
Let theorizers argue as they may,
it remains true that man is a free
agent, and by that fact he is set apart
and above all the animal world. We
can not deal with human nature as we
do with pigs and cows and horses.
There is no place for “human stock
farms.” The race of man is to be
lifted up by heaven-sent prophets,
preaching redemption through Jesus
Christ, and not by clerical Burbanks
crossing types, and developing new va
rieties.
Men are not brutes; human conduct
is not a matter of external circum
stances; but it is the outcome of in
ward volitions; character is not the
fruit of heredity and environment. The
menagerie theory of morality is an in
sult to our humanity. Our destinies aro
determined in freedom, not by fate.

SUNDAY IS DAY OF
PRAYER FOR CHINA
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, April 26.—The Chinese
government, having asked Chinese
Christians to "set apart tomorrow as a
day of prayer for the welfare of China,
Christians of the United States have
decided also to set apart the day to
the same end. Almost all churches in
New York will in some manner make
mention of the unusual circumstances.
Secretary MacFarland, of the federaf
council of churches, which recommend
ed this simultaneous observance, said
today that most New York ministers
will have prayers for the new republic.
A few will preach sermons on China.
The federal council enumerates the
.things to be specifically prayed for.
They are the things designated by the
Chinese government and are: The new-
national assembly, for wise delibera
tions; the new president of the repub
lic, whoever he may prove to be; wisdom
in framing the new legislation, early
recognition of the new republic by the
world power, for peace in China and
in all the world; and for the election
of strong and virtuous men to China
legislative bodies.
RELATION OF REGULARS
TO STATE TROOPS DEFINED
WASHINGTON, April 25.—General
Albert L. Mills, in charge of the mili
tary division of the army, today is
sued an order defining the relationship
of the regular army officers to the mil
itia, while engaged in instructing the
state troops.
He made it clear that while the fed
eral government was disposed to allow
ocnsiderable latitude in the system of
military instruction in the various
states, yet in order to obtain the as
sistance of the government he insisted
the system must be such as to afford
proper instruction and to maintain the
militia as a sufficient war unit.
Therefore while the army officers’
services were at the disposal of the
militia the officers also were under the
orders of the war department, and had
certain definite instructions which they
must carry out
The circular continues that as it may
be taken for granted the army officers
are educated soldiers, their advice on
matters of instructions should be fol
lowed. If they are not working in har
mony wtlh the state authorities they
will be promptly relieved on request of
the governor. General Mills adds, but
if the system of instruction adopted by
the state is not regarded as proper to
fit the organized militia for the field
and the advice of the army officers is
disregarded they will be relieved from
duty by the department itself of its
own accord.

This Handsome Machine
For a Few Hours
of Your Time
We want you to have one of the “Jour
nal” sewing machines. It has been built
especially for The Semi-Weekly Journal,
and this means that it is of a very high
standard.
The sewing head of the “Journal”
machine, with full-size arm, has more im
provements, conveniences and time and
labor-saving devices than any other machine
on the market. It makes the double lock
stitch—a stitch that is always smooth, even
and perfect—and it runs easily and quietly.
A few of the features are: Spring tension
with convenient release, improved take-up,
positive double-width steel-forged four-
motion feed, automatic bobbin winder, self
threading shuttle, self-setting needle, gear-
releasing device, improved stitch regulator on face or arm, and nickeled steel removable face plate.
The jvorking parts are made of fine quality steel, which, with proper care, will last a lifetime.
