THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1913. s v ^ouAmrr Home ® ^ADOCTED BTJTRS. W. lUELTO/l. THE NEW POLITICAL FRACAS IN YORK STATE. At this writing - New York state has a dual government. Governor Sulzer holds or manages one set of officials and Lieu tenant Governor Glynn holds another set ander his direction. New York state is the largest state n the union, as to wealth and popula tion. It boasts of greater commercial facilities than other states. It has age, experience and is known better than ant other state over two hemispheres. In spite of its commercial progress And its magnificent opportunities and : world-wide reputation, the political con ditions prevailing in New York state are* simply’ preposterous. With men of intellect, probity and ex perience all over the state, the business of this great commonwealth is being pulled about by a man who has no fecommendation for public office what ever. His following are men of the same cflass, and the treasury is at the mercy of this unreliable set of politicians. New York state is made helpless by the gang that rules in New Y’ork City and the whole country is watching the contest between two factions of Tammany poli ticians and disgusted at the scuffle. And It is by no means certain that the worst gang will not rule and ruin in the end. Character has gone out of all such politics. No matter what happens, bad men are powerful because they are suf ficiently bad to be managed by graft money. Good people are not wanted. To be available the bad man giust be lettered or placarded, and none others need apply. When I think of Tammany and its bold front at the Baltimore convention, and its. indifference to the abuse that a patriot would scorn to endure, it does seem as if there must be a graft center, a bribe center and vice center in the metropolitan city of this union, that will corrupt, and. degrade the entire federal will question their responsibility as parents to their offspring. They will indulge in illicit intercourse with women, and if by accident a, baby is born, the unhappy mother is given all the blame and yet that father has been heartless enough to condemn his own offspring to a life of shame, degra dation and poverty. She, poor sinner, must go through life tagged with her disgrace and he can go abroad to hunt up some other silly, pretty creature to seduce and ruin. In slavery times white men would doom their own offspring to the slave market by illicit intercourse with their own slave. women. Unfit parents are the bane of the various races of human kind, but it Is a fact that if it was not for ^'the love of the-child the majority of children would get neither aid or sus tenance from the father in infancy. union of states ere long. * UNFIT FATHERS. With so much said and written about the unfit mothers of this country, the time would seem to be ripe for a few words as to unfit fathers. It is the general rule, with some ex ceptions. that young people mate for passion and not for love or desire for children. Children come into life as a sequence, not as a primal motive. Royalty seeks heirs to the crown, but the majority—the great majority of the children are not longed for and are en dured because it cannot be helped! Modern life is not exploited for the sake of the offspring. If it was otherwise fathers would be diligent as to caring for their own clean lives and the avoid ance of filthy personal habits that ev eryone knows are handed down to pos terity a? a lineal inheritance. While unfit mothers are continually lectured as to their home duties—these unfit fathers steep themselves in nico tine (and too often drink), and no one \ Maybe They Would Bred a Monument To a blit Skirt (By Associated Press.) | WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Intended as a harbinger of woman’s political emancipation, Senator Jones, of Wash- ! ington state, has offered a bill setting 1 aside a space in the proposed plaza be- ! tween the capitol and the Union station solely for the raising of statues and memorials to women. He would have it. known as the “partheno.” “I suppose they’ll be erecting statues to the inventor of the bloomers and lat ter day slitskirt,” sneered an anti-suf fragist house member “It will be a pretty sight—a lot of female statuary all in a clump. Those who don’t mis take it for a marble reproduction of a fashionable young ladies’ seminary out for a walk will think its a female burying ground.” Senator Jones is earnest in his pro posal. however, and he has the support of other members of congress who come from suffragist states. Any way the bill has been introduced. The Evening Story Their Daughters • ronyrleht 1913. bj W Werner. > MR. BRYAN’S BLUNDER. Mr. Bryan’s statement that he “found it necessary to supplement the salary which he receives from the gov ernment—that salary being insufficient to cover his expenses”—has greatly per plexed the minds of his friends and given a cudgel to the hands of his op ponents to belabor him in the future. He is paid $1,000 a month by the gov ernment to fill the office of secretary of stsltc, considerably more than twice as much as Daniel Webster received for the same service, and the people are wondering where and how he feels obliged to spend such a large sum as expenses. He accepted the office and the salary and it is his manifest duty to stay in daily service so long as he gets the enormous amount of $33 1-3 per diem, Sundays included, as a member of Pres ident Wilson’s cabinet. If his expenses (and it is understood to be living ex penses) cannot be held down to that figure, he should in justice to the presi dent’s administration, resign and follow chautuaqua work entirely. It is not fair to Mr. Wilson and very unfair to 'the people to accept a public office and then neglect its duties. If he was engaged to a Chautauqua bureau at so much a night or so much a lecture and failed to appear because he found the pay inadequate to his expenses his resignation would be quickly asked for. A doctor or a lawyer who took a retainer to serve a patient or a client by the month or year and failed to give requisite attention would be quick ly dismissed. It is rank injustice to the people of the United States who are paying Mr. Bryan’s salary of $12,000 per year to find him engaged in other work for which he is again recompensed in big fees, and which compels his absence from his desk in Washington. It has flung a cloud on Mr. Bryan’s patriotism and those who have fol lowed him during the last sixteen years and who have believed him to be a friend of the struggling classes of the country are disillusioned as to his real motives or intentions in his salary ideas. It is surely a blunder! I /) f / / o L/ Id S~SS A 1 By Bishop ljs i tay IV. A Candler Neither faith nor • faithlessness is a and that a land-slide arrested the flow modern thing.

PORTER CHARLTON ON WAY TO FACE TRIAL FOR LIFE (By Associated Press.) ROME, Aug. 25.—Porter Charlton, en route here from America to stand trial for the alleged murder of his wife at Hake Como three years ago, will have Onerwelo Camora, former minister of finance, as his chief counsel. the world. In one of the oldest books in the Bi ble, the patriarch Job tells us the pros perous wicked were saying in his day. into Canaan. Carried to their logical consequences th e theories of these men mean that God is so entangled in the n.eshes of natural forces he has lost years ago with a certain distinguished American minister of the Presbyterian Church, and the conversation between the two turned to these and kindred subjects. Finally the iron-monger, whose success in business has led him to indulge the conceit that he has all knowledge and can solve all mysteries, said abruptly, “Do you believe in a per sonal God, Doctor? If so, has he legs and hands and eyes”? The minister, passing over the flippant blasphemy of the egotistic money-king, replied, “Yes, Mr. Carnegie, I do believe in a personal God, and if you believe in an impersonal God, you believe in a mere thing, which is the faith of an idolater”. The scientific or theological theoriz, ing which excludes a personal God from the world Is no better than the hoary superstitions of Braliimism and Budd hism. In fact theosophy and kindred follies, which rest on the same basis as Budhism, are finding acceptance in our country and Europe among those minds which have accepted most fully the sys tem of modern materialism. We have the rankest idolaters among us, worship- The feud was Silly. Each woman in her heart was ashamed of it. Ten years before Anna Ream and Belle Wiskins had sat together in high school, got their lessons together, planned their graduation gowns from the same fash ion plate, and agreed solemnly that hen they were married they would live in houses side by side and raise their Agreed solemnly that when they were man-led they would live side by side. children with the benefit of the other’s counsel. » Three years later they were married. They each had a baby girl a year old, and when they passed on the streets of the small city where they had grown up together Anna Jerrod’s brilliant brown eyes snapped with something perilously like hate and Belle Tracy tilted her pretty white chin to an angle that ex pressed absolute scorn. And they did not speak. Each had a pretty cbttage—Anna in the north end of town, Belle in the south. Their husbands were casually civil, neither having any dislike for the other, but each debarred from mak ing a friendly advance by his wife’s attitude. Will Jerrod had been born in the town and grown up with the two girls. Everett Tracy had come in three years before to take charge of the new lumber yards. Will Jerrod was an architect. Each man made a comfortable but not luxurious living. Anna knew that her parlor was furnished about the same style as Belle’s. Belle knew that w-hile her piano cost a hundred dollars more than Anna’s, Anna had better rugs. They moved, in the same set. but hostesses learned not to put them at the same card table. “They don’t speafc. you know,” Mrs. Gillett, wife of the bank cashier, ex plained w-earily as for the seventh time she arranged the places at her dinner table so that neither Will nor Belle nor Anna nor Everett should be next*%r face the other. “Why?” asked the girl from another town who was visitingr her. “No one knows. And' they won’t tell.” Of course they wouldn’t tell. Each And after that neither would make an advance. Every week made the breach wider. The months hurried into years. And it remained. Each suffered, but neither would have admitted it for the world. Then the little girls were born. Each looked furtively at the other baby and was glad and proud that her own was the prettier. The babies grew, became three years old, five and six years old, and started to school. By that time the Tracys had moved north to be near the lumber yard, so the children attend ed the same school. Both were pretty little girls who resembled their mothers, and both kept the remainder of the school in a ferment of envy over their clothes. Dainty lace frilled dresses, white bucltsin shoes, hair ribbons—Anna was determined that her child should outshine Belle’s and Belle was equally : determined that she shouldn’t. The teachers frowned thoughtfully In private. The effect upon the other chil dren, whose mothers had not the same money or the same spirit, was not good. One, younger and more impulsive than the others, threatened at a teachers’ meeting to write plainly to Mrs. Jerrod and Mrs. Tracy just what she thought of them. But the others dissuaded her. The years went on. Small Anna strut ted to school a pretty picture. Small Belle was a little peacock, and preened herself with frank conceit. Both were pretty, and when they were playing fast and hard forgot vanity. Then they were simply two gay children, spoiled, but favorites in the playground, as their mothers had been in that same play ground twenty years before. And while each at times reflected the parental attitude, at times they forgot, and, by some inborn affinity, sought each other’s company and exhibited great sat isfaction in it. But neither mother knew that.

They met one afternoon on a de serted side street as they passed the high board fence of a vacant square of ground much in demand by the school children. It was time for the 3:30 dismissal, and each had come that way to meet her small daughter. Anna’s brown eyes, not so young as they had been ten years before, but still brilliant, flashed haughtily. Belle’s chin, fuller and having lost some of its young, soft curve, was lifted su perciliously. They swished past each other just as a shrill voice floated from the other side of the fence: "Say, Belle, all you have to do is to tell your mamma that I’ve got a brace let and she'll get you one right away.” The words were consolingly toned. Anna looked about quickly as she rec ognized her daughter’s voice. "I shouldn’t wonder,” small Belle re- pied in a calculating voice. "And you can work the same dodge for a new par asol. Get a pink one as long as I got a blue. Then we can trade part of the time, and It’ll be the same as having two.” It was Belle's turn to start and crane up to the top of the fence. Both women bad involuntarily paused. "The little wretch!” said Belle. “And using slang, too!” ”1 never knew that Anna guessed!” gasped Anna's mother. “Why, they’re growing up!” She eyed Belle in panic. "Into two vain little schemers!” gasp ed Belle’s mother in dismay. "Oh, An na, we have been two”— "Idiots,” said Anna. "Oh, Belle, I felt terribly.” “So did I,” said Belle sadly. “But I thought yoiUdidn't care.” “Ten years wasted!” said Anna. "But”—her eyes snapped—“tomorrow that child of mine puts on blue ging ham. Why. in another year she'd be spoiled!” "There’s a sale down at Sheiner’s,” said Belle eagerly. ‘Let's go down. And I’ve got a nice plain pattern. Let’s make their dresses just alike.” and 80 Bandit Who Roved With Jesse James Joins the Church LEES SUMMIT, Mo., Aug-. 26.—Cole Younger, the former bandit, became a member of the Chlristian church at a revival meeting here last night. When the evangelist after finishing his sermon Invited persons in the au dience to join the church, Younger was one'of the first to go forward to the altar rail. At the conclusion of the service the evangelist said that those in the au dience who cared to do so might remain and shake hands with Younger. There were a thousand persons present and all remained to congratulate the form er member of the James gang on his conversion.

That sounds modern enough for the use of those in our times who doubt the existence of a personal God a d question the efficacy of prayer. In another book found in the Old Testament, we read of the singular view of God held by the Syrians, who said of Jehovah, “The Lord is God of the hills, but he is not God of the val leys,” referring to the divine ability to deliver the Israelites when they occu pied high ground and the inability of the Almighty to do any thing for his people when they fought on low ground. This seems to be the theology of the » present Governor of the state of Kan sas. The press dispatches report that many people asked this Governor to pr-claim a day of prayer for rain in view of the blasting heat and blighting drought which has been prevailing in “The Sun-Flower State”; but he re fused to accede to their request, saying, “I believe in the efficacy of prayer, but not in the case of flood or drout Now, one con understand a man who doubts altogether the efficacy of pray er, however one may differ with such a doubter; but what sort cf belief in a prayer-hearing God is that which de nies that prayer to him is of any value in a time of flood or drought? A God of that kind is certainly not to be de sired in Kansas, where floods prevail in winter and droughts follow^ in sum mer. But the Governor of Kansas has plainly expressed a theory of prayer which many others hold without tell ing it. They believe in a sort of en- fee .ed God, who is equal to doing lit- • tie things, but who can not be depended upon in great emergencies. There are theologians, claiming to be men of “advanced thought,” who are eVer try ing to minimize the supernatural in the Scriptures; they wish to retain the miracles, provided they may reier them to somewhat natural causes. For ex ample, they can not believe that God «... lJed the Red Sea and the Jordan by miraculous intervention for the de liverance of Israel, but they would ex- pl'in that ordinary winds dried the Red Sea tolerably dry about the time the fleeing Hebrews reached the place, do little miracles, but not big ones; that he might dry up a spring-branch, but would find a sea or a swollen river too much for him. These same men talk much of what they are pleased to call “the subjective benefits of prayer”, by which they seem to mean that when one prays to God he gets nothing out of his prayer except a submissive spirit in his own bosom by which he is prepared to accept with out murmuring the inevitable. For any objective benefit, outside a man’s own breast, they deny the efficacy of prayer. Whatever may be true of all this the orizing, it is utterly at variance with everything we are taught in the Scrip tures concerning prayer; and it is such that no human soul can rest in it at all in moments of trial. When men pray at all, they pray expecting that their supplications will be heard and that blessings will be obtained beyond the mere composing of their own troubled hearts. They cry with the Psalmist, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” They do not believe that they are helpless victims of fate, but the children of a loving Father whose ears are open unto their cries. The wide-spread fatalism of our day accounts for the prayerlessness of many people; and it explains most of the com mon objections to prayer. It is sup posed by some that fatalism has been overthrown and expelled from philoso phy; but this is a great mistake. Mod ern materialism is fatalistic to the core; and some/preachers who denounce in the pulpit predestination, embrace more than even the hyper-Calvanists believe when fatalism comes to them clothed in scientific terms. They talk glibly of heredity and environment, and view even the history of mankind as a fated movement running down “the ringing grooves of time”. They really leave no place in thought for the fact of human freedom, let alone faith in a free God. There is not an objection to prayer, as the subject is taught in the Scrip tures, which can stapd for a moment if we believe in a personal God who is free, merciful, and powerful. But many men nave lost faith in a personal God, and have really deified natural pro cesses. For example, it is said that Mr. Andrew Carnegie was in Scotland a few was ashamed. The beginning had been daughter to quit speaking to small Belle. If Belle had known that when she gave her daughter a party on her ninth birthday—a glorious affair of pink ice cream, candies and four kinds of cake— small Belle said regretfully to small Anna, “I wish I could invite you, but my if TO KEEP YOUTH ‘S and beauty—to prevent wrinkles and “crow’s feet” and deep black circles unddr the eyes— . nothing is as good as FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION Give it a fair trial for banishing those distressing pains or drains on one's vitality.

Pierce, Buffalo* the existence of a free God, while posing as philosophers and scientists. But a free God still lives, and reigns, and hears the prayers of them who seek him aright. We may properly pray to him for ain and sunshine, health and happiness, or whatsoever is proper for good people to desire. Our God is not over-powered by floods or droughts, as the befuddled Governor of Kansas vainly imagines. He is not handicapped by the natural world which he created. Moreover, the privilege of prayer does not belong to men of extraordinary ability only; it isc the privilege of our common humanity. This is the thought of St. James when he says, “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly, that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit”. (James v:17 and 18). Wherefore, St. James concludes that “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”; and out side of the history of Elias there are abundant instances of effectual prayer to vindicate the correctness of the con clusion of the Apostle. Let men talk as they will, they are going to pray. There is not a man in all our land so sceptical and so wickr ed that he would be willing to sell his privilege of prayer or to pledge him self never to pray again. Therefore saith the Psalmist. “O thou that hearest prayer unto thee shall all flesh come”. (Pslams lxv:12). Walking and working in a world in which we are beset with trials and sorrows on every side, we cannot cease to pray, nor turn away from the mercy of our heavenly Fa ther. As long as men believe in God at all. they will continue to pray to the God in whom they believe. Says Guizott “The universal and invincible instinct which leads man to prayer is in har mony with this great fact: he who be lieves in God can not but have re course to him and pray to him”. A prayerless world would be a godless world, in which no man of sense would wish to live. The modern world, with all its progres. whether real or imag inary progress, can no more dispense with prayer than the ancient world in which saints were plentiful and money more scarce than in our day. Thomas Carlyle was a man the furth est possible removed from cant, and he said, “Prayer is rnd remains al ways a native and deepest impulse of the soul of man No prayer, no religion,—or at least only a dumb and lamed religion. Prayer is the turning of one’s soul, in heroic reverence, in infi nite desire and endeacour towards the Highest, the All-Excellent, Omnipotent. Supreme. The modern hero, therefore, ought not to give up praying, as he has latterly all but done”. Blessed is the man who amid all the burdens and cares and responsibilities of his mature life, retains the faith which he learned at his mother’s knee and continues to pray to the God of her so trivial. A rainy day when both felt dumpish and Anna was irritated because a dressmaker had spoiled a new dress, and Belle had been cross because her new shoes hurt her, and an ulcerated tooth shot pain, and the rain had drench ed a maline toque. They were in Anna’s bedroom. “I don’t think you look particularly well in that green hat.” Belle had ob served. Anna flushed. Usually she never minded Belle’s criticism. But her mother and brother and father had remaked the same thing. And Anna herself had hated the hat as soon as she found herself outside the shop. And also she had paid , twice as much for it as she could afford. So she was annoyed. “I don’t particularly admire yours,” snapped Anna. Ordinarily Belle wonldn’t have been offended. But she was cross. She retorted; Anna snapped again; and five minutes later Belle, her face flushed with anger, was tearing through the heav?^p.in to her own home. The next day when they met at church Anna, glancing up furtively .to see if Belle in tended to be friendly again, saw a flush ed, angry face. Belle glancing furtive ly around a moment later to see if Anna were remorseful. met two cold eyes.
