HUMORIST OR ASS?
It is hard to tel! whether George Harvey, our
“popular and affable” emissary to the Court of St.
James, is the world’s foremost humorist or prize ass.
If he isn’t the greatest humorist he ranks along with
the best fun-makers in making the world laugh.
It is a pity rome great men—and their is no doubt
about Harvey’s greatness in some respects—some
times make themselves foolish when they appear in
public. Harvey, it seems, possesses the unhappy fac
ulty of doing this on all occasions—of late at any
rate. ‘ ■ *
To begin with he put the administration in an em
barrassing position in his maiden speech in London.
Following that up his love for appearing in public
and "speaking a piece” he made the American peo
ple ashamed of their representative in London by his
assinine utterances. •
His most recent oratorical flight in which he does
not fail to again -make the world laugh and at the
same time pity an administration that could do no
better than Harvey, occurred at a meeting of the So
ciety of St. George, the English Patron Saint.
According to the New York World report his
speech follows:
“It is eminently fitting that old England should
be represented by a living Edward, lineal*descendant
ofthe Edward during whose reign St. George was
adopted,as your patron saint.
“My proud little native State of Vermont looks
forth from her treeclad mountains and sparkling
lakes upon her more populous sister commonwealths,
serene, in her consciousness of a virtually undiluted
ancestral stock. Not less than 90 per cent of her en
tire population are directly and exclusively descend
ed from the. adventurous sons and daughters of this
kingdom. Can any of your counties boast less alloy?
“If so I point to you my native township which con
tains no man, woman or child of other than English
blood, hot one.” N
Col. Harvey, after further identifying his birth
place of Peccham, went on:
“Do you, my kinsmen, agree with me that a true
though New English jewel such as this should find a
place in the crown of your patron saint? If you do,
immediately upon my next visit I shall ask the peo
ple to assemble and form.a Society of St. George, to
co-operate, though not sub-operate, for that is not our
way, with this parent association.”
(The Village of Peachman, Vt„ now boasts a pop
ulation of 667 men, women and children, and the
boast gets less at every census. In 1900 Peacham
had 794 inhabitants.)
MAKE ATHENS A CONVENTION CITY
One of-the most important movements to be under
taken by the Chamber of Commerce for this year Is
the securing of conventions. While the time has
passed to secure the various conventions meeting in
this state during 1923, it is a favorable time to pre
sent the claims of Athens for their meetings next
year. Athens has every advantage to offer for the
accommodation of the large number who attend
conventions. Ample hotel facilities, restaurants,
tea rooms, cafeterias and boarding houses, besides
the many points of interest to all visitors: the educa
tional institutions, University of Georgia, State Col
lege of Agriculture, State Normal School, Lucy
Cobb Institute and one of the best public,school sys
tems in, the country. Athens is ideally located and
accessible from all points in the state and South;
with five railroads entering or passing through the
tity to make it convenient from this point of view.
All in all, Athens enjoys an advantage over her sister
cities, and it is only a question of making an effort to
Secure many of the conventions, for next year. Con-
■ tions are great feeders to cities and no agency af-

It is to be hoped that the officers ot the Chamber

You've heard a 16t of contradictory stores about
Lenin. Hers’s one that ranks at the top for earmarks
of authenticity. Joseph Henschen, of Oakland, Flor
ida, gets a letter from his brother in Sweden. The
brother is one of Lenin’s personal physicians. He
writes that the Red Czar is paralyzed and helpless.
That’s about as near the truth as you’ll ever get, un
less you live to see Lenin’s body embalmed.
The endurance dancing craze fizzles. It taught
that real strength is in the will power, not in muscles.
Similar cbntests come in every generation, so we’re as
rational as our ancestors. In 1899 Miller and Walker
bicycled 2733 miles,' beginning Monday and ending
Saturday night Twenty-two years before that, Wil
liam Gale, a Welsh bookbinder, walked 1500 miles
in 1000 hours. A man in Utica, N. Y., lifted himself
on tiptoe 20,000 times without stopping. A girl in
Sandwich Islands swam 40 miles . against running
surf. Nothing is futile, as iong as it entertains bored
