ATHENS DAILY HBBALD, TUESDAY, JULY 1, 191*.
You Don’t Belong to the Twentieth Century.
By HERBERT KAUFMAN.
What are you doing in the twentieth century? You went out
of style when electricity came into use.
Once we gave heed to you, but that was when we believed
only in things which we could see and handle.
Then superstition guided imagination and intolerance Short
ened our perspectiv
In an age of bigots you would have found willing ears and an
approbating audience. But now we have no time to waste upon
you. We cannot hear your pessimism. Our ears are filled with
the chirping of pneumatic crickets riveting steel beams, fifty stories
overhead—with the chugging of rock drills—with the whir of
dynamos, the buzz of the trolley—the crackle of wireless telega
raphy—the tingling of phone bells.
The earth is eager with new impulses. Man has entered a
higher estate, but you refuse to behold it.
While we scan the heavens for further planets you search for
fallen stars.
Nothing is perfect. Even the sun has its spots, but they are
outbalanced by its light.
The world is still filled with wrong and injustice and cruelty;
the strong continue to capitalize their opportunities. The hard
taskmaster still wrenches the last possible drop of sweat and
surge of strength from his people.
There’s many a stain and smirch on the robe of morality.
But you misinterpret the widespread awakening \o social
truths.
You translate the sweep of reform into a wave of destruction.
When a nation acknowledges it3 economic inequalities, frankly
discusses its political corruption and demands higher standards for ;
business and industry and living, t is an earnest of better ideals, f
not an indication of retrogression.
Air ■‘rica is on the upgrade—the signs of the times are hope
ful. When a commonwealth begins to diagnose its weaknesses,
when communities awake to the realization of their shortcomings,
better tomorrows are on the way. The beast in the open has
little chance to prey.
Intelligence is rapidly destroying the hiding places guarded
by puritanism.
We have grown wise enough to perceive that prudery is the
ally and abettor of wantonness and disease, but you would
have us think that we are losing our battles in the very hour of
victory.
The world is constantly growing cleaner and better. The
breed is improving. We are gaining strength physically, mentally
and ethically.
The field opportunity broadens day by day.
The might in right constantly become more evident, but the
law of competition continues to operate—the best will always
prove their superiority over the inferior. .
No man-made legislation Will upset the rule of survival
of fitne»s. The half-hearted, the sullen, the shiftless, and the
witless can never share equally with the earnest and the de
termined and the alert and the courageous.
Stop tugging at the coattails of progress; you can't delay our
advancement.
We know that all things are possible to full-hearted ambition,
and your pessimism has no weight against the evidence of an
ascendant destiny.
Catch the spirit of the hour or prepare for failure.
If you don t believe in your generation we won’t believe in you.
We can’t get new ideas of a fossil.

of a swiftly moving train, with the
audience as passengers.
As the train whirled through pic
turesque valleys and along steep
mountain sides a young woman in
one of the front rows observed to
her escort;
“I’d rather like traveling like this,
because there is little danger of train
sickness.”

Atlanta, Ga., July 1.—Of all the
stupid attempts to make sensational
news in connection with the opening
of the legislature, 'the most glaring
one was pulled off in an Atlanta
newspaper yesterday afternoon,
which put out a regular edition in
the street carrying the streamer
headline spread across the top, “Sla
ton Wields Big Stick.” The story
beneath went on to explain that the
new governor bad laid down the law
to the legislature and had demanded
that the appropriation bill be pre
sented to him at least ten days be
fore adjournment.
The thing that made the story ri-
•dicu’ous was the fact that Governor
Slaton, President Anderson of the
te, Speaker Burwell of the house,
and a known majority of both
branches of the assembly, are in per
fect harmonious accord on the sub
ject, and that the legislature is just
anxious as the governor i
have the general appropriations
measure ready -ten days before ad
journment. There has been no “big
stick” or no occasion for the use of
one, except in the over lurid imagi
nation of one of Mr. Hearst’s head
line writers.

GIRLS’ SUMMER
CAMP AT BRENAU
(Special to The Herald.)
Atlanta, July 1—The summer camp
for girls, in connection with the open
ing yesterday of the regular summer
school and the Chautauqua at Brenau
College, Gainesville, is an innovotion
which is being watched with keen
interest.
This camp is located in Brenau
Park, near Lanier in a beautiful
forest, but within a few hundred
yards of the college. Canvas tents
are erected on wooden platforms, with
cots. The club house near the camp
will furnish a dressing room, while
meals are served on the veranda of
the club.
The Chautauqua will bring to Geor
gia some of the most noted lecturers
in platform entertainers in the coun
try. Campers are not required to
take the courses in the summer
schools, but those who wish to do so
find very unusual opportunities.’
“Pop, did you look like me when
you was a boy?”
“Yes, Willie, why do you ask?”
“Oh, nothing.”Puck.
STEELWORKER KILLED
B! FALL FROM TOP OF
ATLANTA SKYSCRAPER
(Special to The Hera'd.)
Atlanta, Ga. July 1—Horrorstrick-
en pedestrians on Walton street yes
terday afternoon watched a steel
worker named Billy Newburn hurtle
like a gigantic skyrocket from the
(top of the New Healy skyscraper
and crash to the ground hundreds of
feet below. Almost every bone in
his body was broken and he died al
most immediately.
Newburn was pushing a steel gir
der into place when he fell. His
companions do not know how he
lost his balance but think it may
have been -temporary dizziness due to
the extreme heat.
Phone 1216 and say: “Send
me The Herald.” The Herald
leads. [
Marked improvements, like marked
bills, ar eeasily traced.

As Luck Would Have It.
“Sure, it’s Mike, the boy, that’s
the lucky man.”
“How was he lucky?”
“Why, ^num, he got insured for
$5,000 arid the very nixt day he fell
off the ladder, paintin’ and broke
,his ne;k.'’—Philadelphia Ls^er.
