-?V)- KX ‘■>T: v;--' 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. HELP WANTED JELLY TUMBLERS 20 cents per dozen. Max Flatau Crockery, next door to Herald office.

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.” “Yes,” replied the escort;\“and be sides, one does not have to tip the train porter.” — Youngstown Tele gram. (Special to The Herald.) 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.

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.
