OPERA STAR CARES FOR HER BABIES
THE BLOOD ROYAL
After the “certificated marriages” of which we have been
reading, and in the new light of the Eugenic ideal which is now
penetrating into darkest social fastnesses, the wedding "of the
German princess with young Manuel, discarded king of Portugal
—heralded as the '‘moat important event” of its kind in Europe
since the kaiser's daughter took unto herself a mate—comes like
an echo from the dark ages.
At the marriage of these two scions of inbred and deter
i.rated stock, there were all the crowned heads of Europe. Flab
dab, glitter lace, velvet and jewels were spread heavily over the
occasion to lend it dignity and prestige, but the real meaning of
such marriages can scarcely be obscured- Science and common
sense has passed them up.
What the world wants today are “royal families” of a very
different sort that those which mediaeval superstition has pro
duced through consanguineous mating.
If there is divine right in blood it is the divinity of right
eousness and purity: In it legacy of good nerves and good tis
sue, of strong wills and brains which can deliberate, comprehend
and plan. In this and in this alone is the divine right to rule
vested.
Democracy, shaping itself through the guardianship of right
eous science is rearing’its royal families and building up human
power which is real and lasting.
The best that Vanity Fair can do is to cover the blight of its
Bourbon blood with the glamour of wealth and prestige, but this
is the sort of power which swaps hands.
A few chosen families may hold it today, but soon it is bound
to slip away and gather around a more geniune support.
The blood royal of the future will be the blood which pro-
luces the best brains and the most wholesome bodies. Society
will learn in a very few years that no “importance” adheres to the
muting of a dissipated little kingling, even though he is fortunate
enough to secure a decent little princess as his spouse.
JURY SERVICE AS A DUTY
The publication of the grand and traverse jury lists shows
a goodly number of names of Clarke county citizens. There is
no fault to be found with the personnel of the lists. The Herald
suggests, however, that they might contain more names. These
•two lists are probably as good as those of any county in the
state. They may be above the average. But we believe that
they should contain the names of a greater number of our citizens.
Every man in the county who is not disqualified for service should
have his name in the traverse jury box. Jury duty is to often
evaded.
Two many men shun jury service on some plea or other. It
is true that often it is found quite inconvenient to leave one’s
business and serve on a jury, but it is a duty that should appeal
t o every good citizen. There are men who have nothing but leis
ure who are always anxious to serve upon juries, and also often
these mtn are of an undesirable quality.
As a rule, too many of the best citizens of a community seek
to avoid this jury service. This is not the case in Clarke county,
but at the same time it might be a good idea to have a large num
ber of ngmes on the jury list.
VALUE OF NEWSPAPER SPACE
Every line in a newspaper costs its publisher something. If it is to
benefit some individual he may fairly expect to pay something, fays The
C-ainvtUe, (0.;j Times. You do not go into a grocery and ask the p, oprietor
to hand you ten pounds of sugar for nothing, oven though the gift might
net be a large cne.
If the beneficiary of advertising does not pay for it, the proprietor has
to settle the bill. Nevertheless some people cannot seem to learn that a
newspaper pays its expenses hy renting space and that it is just as much
entitled to collect rent for every week that apace is occupied as you are for
the house you reet to the tenant.
We treat religious and philathopic enterprises liberally, yet in spite of
this, many of these enterprises expect the newspaper to gfve them space,
rent free. We believe we are just as generous as the average merchant on
the street. We therefore cannot understand why we are repeatedly be
sought to give away our goods.
No nurse for Mme Gerville-Reache’s
babies. No hands but mother’s to care
for them from the day of their birth
till they can care for themselves. An
other little boy has come to the great
contralto, and the announcement was
made from her bedside that she would
muse this one as she had her first
child.
The singer, who is of the Metro
politan Opera House forces in New
York, has been engaged by Max Ra-
binoff, the impressario, as one of the
contralto’s for the forthcoming sea
son in the National Opera company
of Canada. She will sing in the prin
cipal cities of Canada and will then
go on a tour of Cleveland, Detroit,
Kansas City, Houston, Seattle, Spo
kane, Denver and other western cities.
But the boy who came the other day
will not be left behind.
In private life Mme Qerville-Reache
is Mme Rambaud wife. the well
known physician, who was so long in
charge of the Paateur Institute, They
have one son, Paul, who was nursed
hy his mother on all her operatic
travels.
CAMPUS CHAT
(By I. F.)
The University of Georgia will for
mally open its doors on Wednesday,
September 17th. Indications point to
the largest attendance in the history
of the institution and fully 800 stu
dents will be on hand at the open
ing.
The boys have already begun to
roll in and every train is bringing a
score of familiar faces to' the city.
Very few new boys have arrived'so
far, but by Sunday the majority of
the members of the new freshmati
class will be on hand. The class Wf
probably be about two hundred and
fifty strong and if the class scraps
-were in vogue at present, the sopho
mores would have a lively tussle at
the hands of their less experienced
brethren.
Monday is the first day of regis.
tration and from that time to
the end of the week, the officials will
be actively engaged in the tedious
work of enrolling the student body.
The first football practice of the
year was held yesterday on Sanford
field. Only twelve men were on hand
and the squad was given a very light
workout by Captain McWhorter and
Assistant Coach Peacock. There will
be several others out this afternoon,
and next week many new faces will
een on the field and the work of
building a championship eleven for
Georgia will begin in real earnest.
Reports from the Yellow jackets’
camp state that Heisman is expect
ing the best team Tech has ever had.
His hope may be true but he’s got to
go some to down the red and black.
Prospects are not exceedingly brilliant
at present hut the Georgia spirit is
right here and it is our firm belief
that Georgia will be one of the fore
most contenders for championship
honor*.
Most of the members of the faculty,
who have been away for the summer
have arrived, and are ready to begin
work once more. Prof. S. V. Sanford,

one of the most popular members of
the faculty, and who has spent the
last year in Europe, has been in town
for several days and his many friends
delighted to see the genial pro
fessor again.
Mr. Joe Marshburn, who was com
nected with the library staff last year
will take the place of Prof.- S. M.
Salyer, who will be away on a year’s
leave of absence. Mr. Chas. H. Stone
will have charge of Mr. Marshbuni’
work in the library.
The new school qf commerce that
was recently organized will have
good attendance this year and in
short while will undoubtedly be one
of the most popular departments of
the University. Prof. R. E. Curtis,
who is in charge of this course, has
just arrived in the city, after being
absent the "entire summer. Prof.
Curtis is an excellent instructor and
one of the best versed men in
nomics in the South.
The largdlft increase in attendance
is expected in the schools of Law and
Agriculture. The law school is
pared in a measure to handle its in
crease by the additional room it has
secured, but one of the members of
the faculty of the school of agricul
ture-recently stated that they would
scarcely have room in their depart
ment to seat the members of the new
freshman class.
Mr. D. W. Johnston, captain of last
year’s basket ball team is in the city
and is seriously considering making
Athens bis home. That Georgia boys
like the city is also demonstrated by
the fact that ten members of last
year’s law class began practice of
their professions here and two other
alumni have accepted positions with
the local high school.
This column will be published ev
ery day throughout the college year
and we will endeavor to givp complete
news of happenings on the campus,
that will not only be of interest to
college men but to the citizens of
\thens in general.
IDLE MOMENTS
TWO TEACHERS.
Elihu Root tells a story about him
self and his efforts to correct the
mannerr df his office boy. One morn
ing the young autocrat came into the
office and, tossing his cap at a hook,
exclaimed:
“Say, Mr. Root, there’s a ball game
down at the park today and I want to
go down.” #
Now, the great lawyer was willing
that the boy should go, but thought
he would teach him a little lesson
in good manners.
“James,” he said, “that isn’t the
way to ask a favor. Now, you sft
down in my chair and I’ll show you
how to do it properly.”
The boy took the offifcB chair and
his employer picked up his cap and
stepped outside. He then opened the
doer softly and, holding bis cap in
his hand, said quietly to the small
boy in the big chair: •
“Please^ sir, there is a ball game at
the park today; if yw'^an spare me
I would like to get away for the af-»
ternodn.’* ? K , ,

“Why, certainly, Jimmie; and here

HOME INFLUENCE ON BOYS.
Home influence is a strong factor
in 'bringing up a boy for good. This
is so not withstanding there is often
a lack of organisation in the heme,
and notwithstanding the father may
be so engrossed ip other affairs that
he is often * remiss in not taking- a
more active interest in the direct edu
cation of the boy. His strong in
fluence, nevertheless, is felt indirect
ly. The relation between parent and
child cannot be lightly transferred tb
another. The mother’s loving care
and father’s wise counsel and firm
guidance are vital to the proper
growth of the boy, espeically in his
formative years. Nothing else will
do quite as well. No school, no in
stitution, can quite take their place.

Futile Threat.
Pat and Mike were on a roof re
moving the old shingles. Pat ripping
them off with a pick and Mike toss- ^
ing them in great armfuls to the
street below.
As Mike was making his way along
with an extra heavy load he slipped
and slid down the roof, sweeping Pat
the edge, Pat’s pick caught in'
the drain trough and there he hung.
With one desperate grasp Mike
managed to cling to one of Pat’s legs,
and they dangled there some mo
ments, too frightened to peep. Finally
Pat yelled:
“Mike, let go me leg!”
“I will not,” cried Mike.
“Ye will that,” cried Pat.
“I will not,’ muttered Mike.
“Mike Tierney,” called Pat, madly,
“if you don’t let go me leg I’ll hit ye
wid this pick.”—Birmingham News.
In Boston Town.
Boston Five-Year-Old — Father,
what is the exact meaning of the
irse beginning, “Jack Sprat could
t no fat?”
Father—In simple terms it is as
follows: Jack Sprat could assimilate
no adipose tissie. His wife, on the
other hand, possessed an aversion for
the more muscular portions of epithe
lium. And so between them both,
you see, they removed all the foreign
substances from the surface of that
utilitation tensil commonly called a
platter. Does that make it clear,
son?
Boston Five-Year-Old — Perfectly,
