, THE PAN-AMERICAN AGREEMENT
The United States took 'a long step forward towards the preservation of
peace in tbe Western hemisphere when Secretary Lansing suggested to all
the nations of the two Americas to agree to settle, all boundary disputes by
arbitration and to refuse to ship munitions of war except to recognized gov
ernments. ^ \
It A recognized that the sole cause of wars among the nations of tbe
Western hemisphere Is either on account of boundary disputes or internal
revolutions. If the boundary disputes are settled by arbitration and muni
tions are not shipped to revolutionary parties, then peace will be practically
secured In this part of the world.
The Monroe Doctrine is apt to hold good for many years to come. The
United States will not abandon it, and thus far no nation has seriously chal
lenged it. The preservation of this doctrfefe will keep down European ag
gression on the territory of the smaller nations of the two Americas and the
only real danger to be avoided Is from within.
It Is no easy task to stop the revolutionary spirit among the nations of
Central and South America, but the step that has been taken looking to a
Pan-American federation of peace is one that will settle this difficulty very
effectively.
The United States will present to the twenty-one American nations an
agreement to tbe effect above outlined and it is said that each nation is
ready and anxious to enter into the agreement and make it very binding.
This is no offensive and defensive alliance, and yet in effect it is something
of that kind.
The United States stands ready to preserve the Monroe Doctrine. That
amounts to an offensive and defensive alliance touching anything like an
attempt to take away American territory by a foreign nation. The agree
ment now to be entered into will preserve internal peace.
THE STATE AND ITS RAILROAD
The state of Georgia is taking the proper steps to prevent the paralelling
of tbe Western and Atlantic Railroad. These steps may be criticised by
some, but there is nothing left for this state to do. It must protect its pro
perty.
Georgia has in the state railroad a piece of property that she cannot
allow to be injured. In spite of the cry that a monopoly Is being created by
the state, the state should proceed to the limit to protect its property. The
owning of the road at all would be objected to by the same people on the
same grounds.
As long as Georgia owns this railroad no stone should be left unturned'
to protect it in every way and to make it most profitable. It is only three
years until the road is to he re-leased. To allow It to he paralleled now by
another road would be to destroy in large measure its rental value.
It Is necessary for the state to assert its sovereignty to properly protect
its property. It may turn some money away from Georgia in the way of
railroad investment, hut the state has invested in this property a consider
able sum It is worth millions to the state and the income from it under a!
new lease will amount to nearly three-quarters of a million dollars per an
num. It will be money in the pockets of the people to see that this property
is kept from injury by competing roads as far as possible.
If the legislature has not already provided the necessary laws to thor
oughly protect tills property at the session of the legislature next June these
laws should be enacted. The law-makers should make certain that they have
sewed up all the loopholes in the law.

THE BANNER, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY
There will be the “steady grind” to
confrout—and we shall greet our old
friend, “Steady Grind” (whom we
have known for years) with a "got-
you-first-bo” expression in the wel
coming liancl-shake grasp.
There will he weather coming along
during the year. In every year we
can remember there has been weath
er of some sort or another—some
times it has been only just another.
There will be opportunities to
“match” the weather—to see who
wins. And the test of the “realest”
philosophy sometimes is found when
you find from the weather map which
way the wind is from on a given date.
4'
Had you ever stopped to think of
the condition in which we would be
placed if the weather-man struck or
resigned or just “quit”—if we had no
weather of any sort, good or bad, or
—different—or even simply and solely
indifferent.
41
It will do you good to masticate
that a little. It will make you more
appreciative of the New Year, per se,
emeritus, on its own account, so to
speak, for its very self alone; thank
ful for having a new year to meet you
on the way.

SIGHS AND—HOPE.
I
There was a lover once who paid in sighs
His tribute to the Lady Fair—
Sighs only, gazing on her lips, her eyes,
Her brow, her throat, her wondrous hair.
Sighs only, they were all he had to give;
And in return his only pay.
Was hope, indefinite on which to live
Precariously for a day.

Last night 1 couldn’t resist the
signs— * * ’ *<
At-the Elite. And I dropped in and
stood up—had to! For there was
some crowd, believe editorial us.
It was Triangle day—and night
The tall young felihw holds the chains
and lets ’em in, one by one and two
by two—as- Gus Bell used to sing
about the animals going into the ark—
snkpped his finger at me and said—
“One seat, single, tenth row down;
nobody wants iL”
I didn’t eithdr—and I maintained
my standing—
A “standing engagement”
I stood for the last two reels of
“Matrimony.”
(And by the way, I may mention,
that I had a paragraph or two—quite
unsuggested—on ‘matrimony and mar
riage” yesterday morning in my little
special corner of the page of the Ban
ner.)
I couldn’t help giving the “hand”
to the little girl when she was playing
lady like her mother—for, since this
is purely personal, there is a “little
lady” of the same age and the same
curls and the same airs in my home.
And because my hands went off,
in the rear of the house, there were a
whole lot of rubber necks. The fact
is, that everybody who has a little
lady of six or seven years in his home
ought to have applauded spontane
ously.
And then came the “comedy”—
To relieve “Matrimony."
It was a Com-e-dee! “In His Fa
ther’s Footsteps,” it was called.
And when the hotel manager drop
ped in with his bill—
I woke up right!
I knew that expression, the sling
of the foot, the great-big-bossy air. I
had recognized an old friend on the
screen. I remembered that on the
title cast was some name sounding
mighty familiar—some guy or other
with an Atlanta flavor to his cog
nomen, like Woodward.
I called up Storm of the house after
ward and asked him to look up the
cast and confirm my suspicion that
the hotel manager was an old Atlanta
friend of mine.
He did.
And it was.
Guy Woodward—whom everybody
in Georgia fifteen years ago laughed
at and laughed with and enjoyed.
In my own personal enjoyment of
his work he was a Christmas-week
person. At the old Bijou theater in
Atlanta those-many years ago my
friend, Mr. Stanton, of the Constitu
tion ,and I went one Christmas eve to
see Woodward—he was playing in the
Woodward-Something-or-Other Stock
Company.
And he played! All over the parts.
He amplified his lines and his work
took him, impromptu, clean away
from the "programme.” The compa
ny got the giggles and had a riotuos
time—enjoying^ the performance as
much as the audience. And Wood
ward overstepped himself—tripping
off the stage into one of the boxes!
Actually!
And fluttering up a box party of
girls by his monkey-shines.
The next Christmas after that—or,
maybe, the next after the next—Guy
Woodward and his company ran out
of Atlanta to a small Georgia city
In which I was at that time located—•
and he caught the Christmas spirit
again—the frolicksome boyish, freaky
phase. He did stunts to the audienco
that afternoon at the matinee and
that even at the regular performance
that were too rich to be told of with
out rubbing it in a little aaltily on
some he picked up.
And now again—in the Christmas
week, fifteen years since I had the
last one with him in “The Office”
across the street from the old Bijou-
He turns up to make me laugh
again.
I knew him—as every Georgian al
most will know him—he cant gel
away from that face of his.
I hope he lives a thousand years
more!
And I am going to send hip a

SCREEN CONCEALS A COUCH
Admirable Scheme Evolved From the
Brain of a Woman Who Has
Practical Ideas.
A hospitable little woman who loves
dearly to entertain, but whose domi
cile is too small to accommodate many
guests, has contrived a very sensible
way to put up the occasional man who
can “bunk, anywhere”—the anywhere
usually being the living-room couch.
Out of an ordinary wooden clothes .
horse, the largest size obtainable, this
hostess has evo ved a sightly and prac
tical screen which turns that corner
of the living rooom in which the couch
is located into a very comfortable and
perfectly private bedroom. Opened
out, the clothes horse, which has three
sections, completely hides the impro
vised bed from view, and the screen,
moreover, is almost six feet high, so
that the ordinary individual, dressing
behind it, is quite hidden.
The three panels of the clothes horse
screen have been covered with shirred
cretonne, the material overlapping at
the points of the screen, so that there
shall be no crannies to afford un
sought and unwelcome glimpses into
the screened-off space. The cretonne
matches the curtains and cushions of
the living room, and when the screen
is set up at bedtime the rest of tho
room still presents a cozy and tidy ap
pearance.
On the inner side of tho screen are
several hooks and many largo and
small shirred pockets, made of the cre
tonne. On the hooks garments may be
hung and into the pockets will be
slipped toilet articles, shoes and small
belongings. An oval mirror hangs
from a stout hook in the center of the
panel of the screen.

<< Overpillowslips”Are a Great Improve
ment Over the Old-Fashioned and
Unsatisfactory Articles.
The old-fashioned “sham” is fast dis
appearing, and in its place we have the
envelope sham, or the “overpillow-
slip.” Shams were always unsatisfac
tory things to Keep in place, all sorts
of laborious devices being needed to
keep them up. Besides, they were
exactly what their name implied,
“sham,” imitation, and any imitation
is always bad (remembering, of
course, that the exception only serves
to prove the rule).
The new shams, if you insist upon
calling them so, are really pillowslips
made a size or two too large, so that
they will fit easily and quickly over
the ordinary, everyday slips. These
large slips are sometimes quite elab
orate, although they may be left quite
plain. The object is to preserve for
the pillows an immaculate appearance
during the day. The large slips are
put on the pillows when the bod is
made, and are remoyed at night, the
ordinary undercases still remaining
upon the pillows to receive the
wrinkles and the actual wear. Have
a care, too, that the new “shams” do
not conceal unfresh utility cases, or
the sham will have become a despic
able thing.
