A THOUGHT FOR TODAY P s———— L “But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?——St, Mat thew 22:18. No degree of temptation justifies any degree of sin—N. P, Willis, e CATTON’S COMMENT : BY BRUCE CATTON B e ——— e It is a little bit refreshing to find a great state university in the middlewest rowing about the firing of its president rather than its football coach. Ugually, there are only two sure ways for a uni versity to make the front page. One is for it to have an unusually successful football season. The other is for it to have an unusually unsuccessful one: ' _ THere is a third, subsidiary way, of course, which comes into play when -some friend of the peepul aru‘}bs in the state legislature to announce that the campus is a haven of free love and that red radical jsm is being taught in the classrooms. But this is getting to be old stuff, by now, and the readers are apt te be bored by it, Football is much surer. 80, as we say, it is refreshing—because it is sO different—to see that the present storm at the Uni versity of Wisconsin centers about the conduct and ‘personaldy of its president, Glenn Frank. Wiscon ‘sin had its football coach row a year ago . : However unpleasant this row may be for the uni versity, for Mr. Frank, or for the student body, there is no doubt that it does serve a useful pur pose—and in a way that the people who gtarted it hardly intended, It serves, that is, to center our attention on the whole question of higher education in America, What is a university for, and what part does it play in our lives? What is it supposed to do? Who §s supposed to run it—the chosen president, the regents who stand behind the president, or the pub lic at large which stands behind the president, or the public at large which stands behind the regents? . Just how far may those who pay the piper exer ‘eige the old privilege of calling the tune? These questions are fundamental—and yet we rarely consider them. The result is a good deal of fozgy thinking about the function and the place of a state university, and about the ins and outs of public education in general ‘ The foggy thinking is the bane of all our educa tors, from the principal of the neighborhood gram ‘mar school to the president of the state university, Because of it, we are slow to realize that the ‘educator has the most abstruse and complex of jobs and that we, as laymen, are hardly competent to eriticize his performance except in a very broad ud general way. @;80. from time to time, we send delegations to the local school board to object to the kind of history gtbook used in the high school or to request the board to keep the feminine teachers from going to dances; or we shoot a legislative committee down to the university to put some instructor on the grill :W his remarks before the sophomore sociology class; or we pass a law stipulating that the univer sity may not teach this, that, or the other specified doctrine; or we crack down on the university presi ;&mt for antagonizing the chief campaign contribu tor to the dominant political party. ZWhat we need, pérhaps, is a three-evenings-a week course on the care and feeding of a public Sﬁducatlonal institution. ~_As more authentic news filters out of Spain, it begins to look very much as if it were wrong to eall the fighting in that unhappy land a civil war. Rather, it is a world war in miniature, - Latest figures compiled by a French parliamentary jission show that nearly 60,000 foreigners are tak: ing an active part as combatants in he war. . Loyalist troops include some 12,000 Frenchmen. 2000 Germans, 2000 Belgians, 2000 Poles, and 10,- gnussians. Rebel forces include §O.OOO (fermans ind nearly a thousand Irish—in addition, of course, to the 24,000 Moors of the old Spanish regular army. . When a civil war gets as much outside support as that, it is obvious that infinitely more than a fight between local factions is going on, The fact nous to the continued peace of Europe as a ~ Although American Industrial production indices ‘@Fe rising at a gratifying rate, it is well to note that they will have quite a way to go if the country " sto get back to the 1929 level. . Figures released by the National Industrial Con ~ ference Board reveal that while actual output in " many industries is up to or over the 1929 level, per ~ eapita production is still about 18 per cent below ~ the 1929 figures. . The catch in it, of course, lies in the fact that B population has increased considerably since Y. We just naturally have more workers now n we had then. s = If we get things moving on a 1929 basis, with per capita production equal to the 1929 scale, we shall *1« ly be producing a total output considerably _in excess of that of the last boom year. .

There are now 47,000 inmates in 'the federal prisons of the country, the igreatest drawback to prison life being the crowded conditions of the various prisons. From this report it is shown that there iwere 1,000 more prisoners on June 30, 1936 than at the same date in 1935, with no provision made for additional room. While the jails in which federal prisonersl are confined, awaiting trial, show a less number than previous years, yet the de-j crease is of little consequence and only a slight margin. The Attorney General makes a strong plea in his report for increased prisons, stating that the present crowded condi tions force the confining of prisoners in a most undesirable manner for their safety and health. [t is true that Congress has authorized three new prisons; one for California; one for Florida and one for Minnesota. When these prisons have been completed, the crowded condition will bhe greatly relieved, but until that time, the system will continue to be unsatisfactory. The Atlanta and Leavenworth prisona are used largely for close study prisons with industrial and school activities, while the annex at Leavenworth is used for nar cotic addicts, The prison at Alcatrez is used for the dangerous type of criminals. Special attention and training in religious and educational work is given to the youthful prisoners in order that whenl they leave the prison, they will be edu cated and trained in some avocation that will enable them to become self-support ing, The Attorney General’s plan and the policy of the federal government is to im prove those who become inmates of the prisons and help to make better citizens of them when they are released. WOMEN LEGISLATORS INCREASE The number of women legislators who will serve in the various legislatures throughout the United States this year has been estimated at 135, a decided increase over the number serving last year. Thirty four states of the forty-eight states will be represented by women members; a “light sprinkling,” to be sure, but enough to in dicate that women are not immune to holding such offices when their election is left to the voters. In Georgia, two women will have geats in the lower House, an increase of one or 100 per cent over the number of last ses goin. The members in the House when the legislature convenes next Monday will be Mrs. Helen Coxon, of Long county, and Mrs. Helen Douglas Mankin, of Fulton county. The incoming session will be the third term that Mrs. Coxon has served, but the first term for the lady from Ful ton, ~ The Savannah Press has compiled in teresting data on the number of women representatives in the various legislature in the states of the nation, In giving out the information, the Press, says: “The peak in women’s representation was reached in 1929, when 149 women served as legislators. Since then there has been an annual decline until now. The coming year will see an incraese of five over 1936. N “Politically, the women will line up as follows: Democrats, 75; Republicans, 54; non-partisans, 2; Republicans and Demo eratic indorsement, 3, and Independent Republican, 1. “New Hampshire will lead in the num ber of women lawmakers with 19. Con necticut follows with 18, and Vermont with 14. “Of the 1937 women legislators, 44 per cent will have been re-elected. Veteran in the point of service is Miss Eleanor Miller, a Republican, who has been a member of the California House since 1922. Minnesota’s two ‘non-partisans,” Mrs. Mabeth H.Paige and Mrs. Hannah Kempper, have responded to legislative roll calls since 1923. Mrs. Rhoda Fox Graves, Republican member of the New York Senate, has served ten years in the assembly and Senate. Mrs, Kate E. Tay lor, Republican, of Vermont, and Mrs. Margaret H. Barden, Democrat, of New Hampshixe, will begin their seventh terms next month. “Women increased their representation in Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Michi gan and Tennessee. Losses in strength are noted in Arkansas, Massachusetts, Washington, Mississippi, New Jersey, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Nevada, Texas and Utah.” INFLUENZA ON THE INCREASE The Public Health Service, in Washing ton, is alarmed over the steady increase of influenza in all sections of the country. For the past several weeks, the number of cases, in the various states has increased each week. Last week, in Missouri, the number increased from 50 to 189; South Carolina showed an increase from 206 to 400; Tennessee from 45 to 108 and Ala bama from 53 to 121. I Georgia’s statistics were not given by the Health Service, but it is believed that the number of cases in this state measure up, in proportion, to that of other states. One encouraging feature of the epi demic announced by the Health Service was the fact that nmone of the states had requested assistance from the federal health department. 7 | THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA g % [he Trailer Era | A —————— — - e T s - - el — v esbae \ PNy 2\/-’ — @ r , el e\ Yo Vs \ // /7 v (7 oy \ 8 t : Nig N 5, ’ ARG 7~ FA) > ¢ ‘ 2\ N S 3 ) g ‘ \" s@@o \ B (g/ (¢, "waa PSB — 3, "":,f""i‘ 3 e N g Q = ‘,) \A \\ \x"}' 78 S : o o BN ] .

R HERBLETK DID IT EVER OCCUR TO U’ We are indebted to J. B. Farr, a member of the Athens: fire department, for a couy of the Chronicle and Sentinel, issue of October 2, 1870, pub lished in Augusta. The article we are producing today is an extract from the offi cial report of the: speech of Hon. Willard Saulsbury, senator from Delaware, in the Unitel States senate, in the defense of Senator Hill, of Georgia, whom the Repub licans were trying to unseat on account of his election as a Demo crat. 'he most interesting part of Senator Saulsbury s Speech, how ever, was dis defense of the South and supporting the right of the Southern states to secede. While the bitterness of hostilities were fresh in the memory and minds of the people both North and South, it required courage for the senator from Delaware to speak his convictions, but he did, and in no unmistaken terms, In part, Senator Saulsbury said: ‘lt may be that some newspaper scribbler may say that I am a se cessionist hecause 1 am suggesting a legal question to legal minds. I do not know, slr, whether your habits or life of thought have led vou to deeply study the principles of law, but I know that Mr, Jef ferson offered the Attorney Gener alship of the United States to a man who distinctly and broadly laid down the doctrine in the first treatise that was ever written up on the Constitution of the United States, that a state has t.he right to secede, and that there was no power in the general government to coerce it. That was the recog nized doctrine of this country for the first twenty years of its exist ence, But the same commentator, when he announced the principle warned his countrymen against ever attempting the exercise of such a power, as I, in my humble sphere, warned my fellow citizens. By no act or word did I ever en courage the exercise of such a power, real or presumptive. “But, sir, it shows how nice are the lines dividing federal and state authority, and it is for that reason that I cite it, As for those South ern men who, after their state had seceded, followed the banner of their states in war, 1 give it as my deliberate judgment, hoping noth ing, expecting nothing, that it would require twelve butchers for a jury and a Jeffreys for a judge to try them for so doing. Sir, pro tection and duty are reciprocal; and when you did not afford protection to those Southern peo ple, when they were living under a government having the power to compel their obediance and to punish their disobedience, and you had not power to relieve them from the consequences of disobe dience, they were no traitors. The_vi are not traitors in God Almighty s/ chancery. They are not traitors ao-l cording to English law. They are{ not traitors according to Ameri- can law. They are not traitors ac cording to the instincts ¢f human nature. It was so decided by the English courts, and before you were the United States of Ameri ca; and within less than a year after Pennsylvania had dissoived her allegiance to the British Crown it was decided by the American courts that the man who adhered‘ to Fennsylvania against the King was not a traitor. What, hang ai man if he does, and hang him if heg does not! There is no such princi-| ple of law; there is no such prin-| ciple in moral ethics. | And now, in this the last time, although it be an impromptu ad-! dress that I -make to my brother| senators, that I expect to address them, I beg them, I beg the Amer ican people, I beg that great en élne of public opinion which con-| trols and governs to a great extent | liublic sentiment, banish from your minds the idea that the men of the South are traitors. They are| traltors no more than you are, sir, Their states went out. T'heir states had * the power to compeli obedience and to punish disobe- | dience. You did not protect them! when they were defenseless. Il stand here now, in last moments of my senatorial life, to procla.ixq] throughout the length and breadth| of this whole country, North and South, so far as my feeble utter ances can reach, that those gal-! lant, noble people were not trai-l tors. l Such graves as theirs are pil- grim shrines, Shrines to no code or creed con fined, The Delphian vales, the Palestines, The Meccag of the mind.’ ‘And when your rude soldiery drive away the humble votary who brings flowers to deck the graves of the Confederate soldier, who sleeps side by side with your own honor ed dead, the man by whose order that was done was a traitor against | the instincts of nature, a traitor ’ against the promptings which the Almighty himself has put into his |hcart; and when he stands before that great and eternal tribunal be 'fore which we must all stand, will lbe adjudged by the eternal God to {be a heartless wretch. If he is | living now, when he dies let him Ibe buried in a dung-hole, and over it let there bpe inscribed these ’words, ‘Here iies infamy!’ ' Sir, I do not say this because I was in favor of secession. There was no man here more pained and |mom grieved, and who disapproved j it more than I did. I saw then the wretchedness and ruin that seces- | sion was going to bring, not only {upon their country, but particularly upon the border states. But, sir, i when you tell me that the descend ants of the noble old Virginians, who did more to lay the founda | tions of this government deep in | the principles of constitutional lib ’erty, regulated by law, than all lothez’s, are traitors, I protest !against it in behalf of the honored dead, their patriotic sires. In be half of their living relatives I pro test against it. In the name of God Almighty’s eternal mercy, which is f vouchsafed in exuberant abund ia‘nce to mankind, I protest against {it. i SHES Bl Rase fncnce Shta nlam T W i ‘ Sir, not far from this place is a ! cemetery where lie bones of many lot your soldiers; and did any one who ever visited that place read the inscription over' the gate Ithrough which he passed?

SEASONING CANNED GOODS ] Ag the winter advances, Georgial homemalkers will depend more on' the cans and jars on the pantry’ shelf to complete menus. Every| family has certain preferences in seasoning which the @ homemaker| keeps in mind when canning. Com-' mercial canned foods are seasoned' for what is considered the average. taste, to which the also cook can| add touches of her own. i Some families likke a little ex tra mustered and molasses added( when canned baked beang arel warmed for serving., Many put a! ham bone or a piece of bacon in| with string beans when heatingl them. Other suggestions are a trace of curry flavor with canned limas,i a mint leaf with peas. Some people; put a teaspoonful of additiona:l sugar with any can of vegetahlesl that are supposea o he a little! sweet-corn, succotash, or peas.! Horseradish, onion, and celery arei flavors that transform plain cannedi tomato juice into tomato cocktail. | The flavor that is so distinctive| in French creamed spinach is a bit| of nutmeg, and it may be used! equally well with canned spinach.! Lemon juice 1s one of the house-! keepers’ friends when it comes tol toning up canned vegetables, in-i cluding spinach. Onion is perhaps| the very first flavoring accessory | on the list. A good way to add it is to mince the onion and cook it‘ until soft but not brown in a little} ‘butter or other fat, then add it to’ ‘the heated canned vegetable, or }Ause it as the basis of a sauce for! lthe vegetable, l Sauces of different kinds play | ‘their part in preparing canned fcodg| 'in appetizing ways. For canned as-[ paragus, lollan®aise sauce; forl Iwhole hominy, cheese sauce, or to-| Imato, or Spanish sauce. The last! two are also good sauces for| |canned meats, ! With canned frulis, many add a| few drops of lemon juice to bring | out an otherwise mild flavor like| Ithat of pears, figs, or berries.! Crystallized ginger or ginger rootl goes well with canned pears, just! as cinnamon does wtih prunes or! apple sauce, or mint with cherries.! Broiling canned peaches and apri-] cots bring out mnre‘ﬂavor. Fried ! pine a pelpsi pov oiak 0 F-p,cm% pineapple is another example of a; lcanned product enhanced by cook- | ling. Combining canned fruits with' 'cheese make good salads with lit tle trouble, l I Canned meats and poultry need! the same seasonings every good! cook uses with the fresh products. There are the peppery seasonings black pepper, cayenne, tahasco, Worcestershire, and chili sauce; herbs like bay, thyme, sage, basil,; celery leaves, arsley; curry pow-I der; garlic; mushrooms; paprika and soy; salt-meat flavors - salt pork, ham, bacon. Any of these can be used in gravy or stuffing. 1 it. You use the words of a South ern man to put an inscription over the gate of the cemetery through which you marched to decorate the dead, and denied the poor South ern soldier the humble privilege of having his grave decked with a simple flower. I make this remark not to reflect upon the galiant sol dier of the ..orth or the gallant Union men of the North, those who fought, but because these questions are pertinent, and are at issue in this contest; they go to the foundation of your right to exclude Mr., Hill.’ e A JANUARY JUBILEE H-1-T at the PALACE WATCIH FOR DATE i : @ & &, BEATRICE FABER. * APRMEI\ o(% Meglidduyn Moyl Resume: Lovely Marguerite Gautier is the toast of Paris in 1846. When her ‘“‘patron,” the rich Baron de Varville, leaves for a trip to Russia, she wnvites young Armand Duval to her house, Armand has loved her secretly for many months and Marguerite’s heart soon goes out to him. But at midnight, just when she is awaiting his arrival, the Baron returns unexpectedly. Chapter Five Marguerite looked at de Varville dully, ware that his return had been an amorphous fear through out the evening. Now it was re alized. “So you didn’t go to Russia, after all,” she said flatly. “Y had an idea you wouldn’t.” He buried his hands in his pock ets, walked to her side and kissed her coolly on the forehead. “No. You may flatter yourself 1 can’t do without you. After driving most of the day I turned around and drove back through the night.” She heard the unearthly cackle of ghostly laughter. Flatter her self? No, no, not that. Rather, there were times when she loathed her very soul for this passion she engendered. “He hates me and hungers for me at once,” she thought. “Sometimes I think he ,would kill me if he dared.” ' He said, sharply, “Were you ex 'pecting me, then?” , | She paled, then shrugged. *“Of icourse. I've learned never to be lieve any man when he says he's : L e ‘_ e C N b ol i “Soyouarereally § . e r going away, &1 ¢ SRR RABT .

" “Then drink something.” As he filled his wineglass she sank down ‘on the piano bench and began to weave out the melody of a.Chopin 'Minute Valse. Her trembling fingers refused to obey her will “It's this part that's so difficult. I hate all these phrases,” she com plained, stumbling over the melody again. “I'm afraid your mind's not on lit.” He poured more wine. ; She rose and said petulantly, “You know quite well I've never been able to play it. But you play it .beautifully.” “My one merit.” He came close bto her. His face was flushed and there was a glitter in his eyes. “There's something strange about you tonight my dear. Perhaps 'you're wishing I'd go home now.” “No of course not.” The room seemed suffocating, His gaze held and mesmerized her. A deep, un bounded contempt came over her for herself, for him, At this very instant he was aware that she had been expecting another, yet dared not risk the direct question for fear of learning the truth. As his arms came around her she longed to fling him off yet was still. His voice murmured in her ear and she wanted to scream it down yet she was silent. Then, like the rolling of the tum brils, she heard carriage wheels. That would be Armand. He could not fail to see the Baron's broug ham. Woodenly, she accepted de Varville’s kiss. The sound of th gergiage ~wheels retreated and And as she had guessed, Armand had seen, all too well. His dripping evening clothes were no more sod den than his tear-drenched heart as he re-entered his rooms a short space later and sat down to com pose a letter, “I am not rich enough nor poor enough to accept such treatment,” he wrote. “You have honored me with discourtesies from the moment we met. A man is a fool who is willing to sacrifice all dignity. I prefer to go away and forget you. Armand Duval.” s Next day, foilowing out his sorry purpose he journeyed to the little suburb of Marignon where lived his parents. There, under the grape arbor, with the scent of vine leaves in his nostrils, he conversed gravely with his father, explained his ur gent need to travel, to get away. Marguerite, however, was not men tioned by word or implicaticn. “T've passed my examinations for the Foreign office.” he had explained tonelessly, “and I'm tired of waiting about for an a{)pointment. Besides, when my diplomatic career com mences, the more I know about the world, the better.” Papa Duval had looked at him sharply, though without comment. Finally, however, though he had re fused Armand control of his grand father’s legacy, he had himself of fered to advance the money for the coming journey. Back. in Paris a few evenings fater, with his luggage scattered MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1837 about his rooms, Armand was siart. led by a light tap on the door. “Come in,” he called indifferenty then stcod, frozen. o In the agueous twilight, Marguer. ite faced him from the door, like some enchanted vision come ¢y haunt him. She looked at him, at the littereq evidences of his departure. Thye nights of restless despair, of spect ral loneliness and finally, today, when the lashing torment would not cease, she had determined to see him. “So you arc really going away, Armand Duval?”’ she asked in her lovely, fluid voice. “Yes. It's true. I leave tomorrow morning.” She floated forward. “You wrote me an unkind letter.” His mouth was a white line of bitterness. ‘‘What did you expect. I saw the Baron's carriage.” “You were ;ealousl' “Of course.’ She replied, after an instant, “Then you're quite right to go away, T'll help you pack your things.” He ran his fingers savagely through the black stubborn locls of his hair. “After all, what does it matter if I go or stay? I played the fool again and you've probably been laughing at me ever since” - “No, my dear,” she replied gently, “1 haven't laughed at all. I've been angry because you wrote such things to me but I haven't laughed.” She felt the wetness in her eyes and saw that in his own, two tear drops stood. Once, she had had a lit tle dog who looked sad when she was sad who wagged his tail happily when she was happy. And she had been fond of him. Now here was Armand whom she loved with o atrance nNnew strange, NeEw strength that shook her But there were too many things that could never be un derstood. The little dog had needed no ex planations had taken her on faith alone. - She turned ® away abrupt tly. “Come, I ¢ will help you i pack. Give me orders, i please: Tell me what goes in this valise, Monsieur.” There was a catch in his voice. - “Don't bother. Just throw in any thing you see She picked "up a minia | ture and said, i with an un a c ¢ ountable twinge, “Who is this pretly gin?” “My sister, Louise.” LOUISC. A sigh. “And this? Your mother?” *Yes.” She studied the worn, serene face, surmounted by a crown of white hair. “She looks happy. Does your father love her very much?” He answered simply, “Of course.” “They must have been married a long time.” “Nearly thirty years.”. She clasped her hands over her breasts. Thirty years.
