BUSINESS
BRINGING
PRINTING !
You can make money without Printing, but it is
hard. You can do business with badly set Billheads
and old-fashioned,-rubber-stamp-looking letterheads
and business cards—but you won’t—you can’t af¬
ford it—good work is cheap enough. We will set
your commercial work for you in the highest style of
the art of simplicity—something to give distinctive-
ness to your letterheads, billheads, cards, etc., and
we’ll do the press work equally as well.
We have ail the new faces of type and employ
only expert workmen in our job department.
No matter where you are we can give you a
neat notehead or envelope at $2 per 1,000. We
have higher priced goods.
Our prices are right on everything in our line—-
and we do a general printing business.
Nobody does Finer Commercial Printing than We.

Shall it Be Brains or Bombs?
Text : “Our globe is ours to reach the
summit, and to commence the downward
route unless arrested by the intelligence
and power of man.”—Huxley
Modern civilization is an experi¬
ment. Egypt, Persia, Greece and
Rome never trod this path. And
! so far as our knowledge is concern-
ed, the human race is also an
periment.
Whenever I look at the cold,
i dead, uninhabited moon, contain-
iag perhaps the mouldered remains
of a million nations, and now with-
out a green graee-b , . ude , or a ,
water, I have my doubts about the
everlastingness of the human race.
During the last fifty years we
havo been dazzled by the light
which science has created, and
blinded by the speed of our indus¬
trial progress. We have been build¬
ing, inventing, creating; and the
struggle is now going on between
the creative and destructive in¬
stincts of man.
When children build a house of
blocks or sand, they always end by
knocking it down. Perhaps the
human race has not passed the pup¬
py period of evolution, when de¬
struction gives delight.
J. B. O’Reiley said : “Modern
civilization is a march to a preci¬
pice,” and when we consider the
terrible explosives and war weap¬
ons stored up in our cities, it seems
as if his prophecy would come
true.
G. Ferrero says : “Human feroc¬
ity is an unfathomable abyss. One
of our ancestors’ chief
consisted in tbe destruction of
men. Homicide has been at
times a fierce passion of the human
race. Even among the
war, which is systematic homicide,
or ferocity reduced to a science,
was regarded as a financial
lation. What is called history
little more than an
series of murders.
Besides the loss of life, and
loss of human brotherhood,
by the present war, it will cost ir,
money enough to send a million
families into co-operation and make
them happy and self-supporting.
The old savage instincts of the
tiger survive in us still. We
not fit for our own inventions.
We’re like horses in a marble
ble.
The Age of Thought has arrived,
and none but thinking nations
fit to survive. Thought has
conquered force. A 6-year old
with a Maxim gun can defeat an
ot . . with , ,
army giants clubs.
1 he Goliath age , has passed r ,

iNo nation with savave hearts and

T Long ago soldiers had

had a shield and a sword. Men

. M like L battle

tween two manufacturers. Ihe
one who has the most capital, and
the latest improved machinery will
drive out the other.
Soldiers are only nine-pins
this age of machinery. They are
only the counters in the gamef
If war is to continue to be the

A soldier of wood could be knock-
ed over or blown up without leav-
ing a mother or wdfe or children
behind, to face th^ horrors of pov- ^
erty.
If we prefer cannon to
tion, and dynamite to reason, and
bombs to brains, then we should j
close up the public schools and free
libraries. The rich can hire teach-.
ers and buy books, and the poor
don’t need education if they are
to become serfs and soldiers,
A Frenchman once challenged an
American to fight a duel, and gave
him the choice of place and
ons. The American . agreed, , and
to fight.
War has become almost equally
destructive. It renders civilization
e Every great city is at
the mercy of the enemy. Never
1 ; r b r
portunities of destruction.
One human fiend can poison the
citv reservoirs, or blow up ^ the gas h
mains, or send , a crowded ,
express
train to destruction. One single
850-pound shot would demoralize
an entire city.
As Huxley points out: “Up to
the line of civilization it was man’s
savage and cunning qualities that
enabled bim to survive; but after
the civilized state begins, these
sava S e c l ualit!es become destruct
ive.”
In other words, it is not safe to
trust wolves with revolvers.
Man’s physical qualities decrease
jin civilized athlete; society. today Once athletes every
man was an
are exhibited as curiosities in mu-
seums.
The civilized man has tender
skin, weak muscles, poor sight, dull
hearing and decayed teeth. He can’t
run or swim or climb trees or sit in
a draught.
His brain is the only thing that
prevents him from being lower than
the animals of the forest.
By means of our reason we have
obtained substitutes for strength
and skill. The machine replaces
the eye; and the telephone and tel¬
egraph replaces the ear.
Man is not an animal any long-
er. He has become a spirit,—a
creature of thought.
Man is omnipresent by telephones
and newspapers ; he is omniscient
by books; he is omnipotent by
steam and electricity. We have
trains and steamboats for wings.
We have scores of buildings
grander than Solomon’s Temple,
which was said to have God for its
architect.
There are no bicycles in Heaven,
nor no theaters, nor bath-rooms,
nor electric lights, nor daily papers,
nor photographs galleries, yet we
have all these in every American
city.

That 9 o-Per-cent Lie.
Gainesville Eagle
T1,at P ile ‘ ess and un! " Tectc ‘ d liar
who writes for the Blairsville Her-
aid and signs himself “Democrat”
is out again this week and is kind
en0 ugh to note that Mr. ‘ Thomp-
sorPs salary as Solicito of H all
City Court is $300 a year, instead
of $3,000, as he published three
weeks ago.
“Democrat” does not now' ques¬
tion that Thompson’s salary is only
$300. The fact is he knew this
when ht; wrote it $3,000. He knew
the statement was 90 per cent lie.
Mr. Tate knew it, too, and yet
Mr. Tate had the Lawrenceville
News to circulate 750 copies of its
paper containing this falsehood,and
had the Harmony Grove Echo to
send out 3,500 copies containing
what he knew to be an arrant false¬
hood.
We repeat it—Mr. Tate knew
the statememt of * * Democrat' ’ about
Thompson’s- salary as City Court
Solicitor was totally untrue, and
yet he wrote from Washington
asking the publisher of the Law¬
renceville News to publish it and
send him bill. This the News did.
Mr. Tate has not yet settled, but
will do so, we presume, as he is
considere d good pay.
