ATHENS, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH fi, 1914.
WEATHER FORECAST.
Washington, D. C., March 6.—Forecast for Georgia: Fair tonight and
Saturday.
AN “AMERICAN ATROCITY.”
When Bill Arp remarked that it was ‘‘better not to know so
many things than to know so many things that ain’t so,” he did not
make friends with those who like to keep themselves interested.
The New York American finds numerous readers, just because
of the fact that it publishes so many things that ‘‘ain’t so.” Here
is something that the New York World has to say regarding the
American’s Mexican policy, which should be of interest to those
who get their impressions from that source:
‘‘The American, in furtherance of its wise and disinterested
desire for war with Mexico, and in pursuance of its reluctant and
dispassionate opposition to the administration, printed yesterday
(Saturday) a list of Americans killed in Mexico. This list of
twenty names appeared under headlines such as: “Twenty Ameri
cans Murdered. Names Suppressed by U. S. Every Case Hidden
by State Department. No Protest Made. No Reparation De
manded.” It certainly looked as though the noble heel of Ilearst
had finally ground in the dust an unworthy president and his
recreant secretary of state.”
But wait a bit! Through an unfortunate oversight this list
was allowed to retain opposite the name of each man the date of
his death. And these dates showed that of the twenty men one
had died in January, 1913; seven had died in 1912; eleven had
died in 1911, and one had died in 1910.
President Wilson was inaugurated on March 4, 1913.
Some “Mexican atrocities” are hard to prove. Some “Amer
ican atrocities” are not.
The Hearst publications go considerably further than most
in their deliberate purpose.
The trouble about almost ail questions of an international
character is that the average American citizen does not know
what to think because he does not know where to begin as a basis
for his structure of opinions, yet every man feels the imperative
need of an opinion and is glad to snatch at any old ready-made one
he can get from the nearest newspaper.
The editors are seldom better prepared to give out opinions
than their readers, but the editor realizes one thing and that is
that he must make himself interesting.
It is always more interesting and a thousand times easier to
give out shallow criticism than to enter upon a careful and thought
ful contemplation of a question from different angles, and so the
shallow criticism goes and thoughtful consideration of the problem
is discouraged.
This is one way of shaping public opinion, but fortunately
these easily accepted impressions lose their grip upon the fancy
when such matters as war and intervention come with real serious
ness before us.
There is no flaring up of public opinion, notwithstanding the
great effort to fan it into flames and the general tendency of people
to indulge in sensations.
College Training Should Have Bearing on
Citizenship and Social Service
(By Associated Press.)
New Haven, Conn., March tk—"Not
more than half the men and practical
ly none of the women who graduate
from Oberlin know anything about
R ity government, and yet most of these
jen and women will sooner or later be
oters.” Prof. Albert B. Wolfe, of
Oberlin college, made this assertion
before the Religious Education A»-
aociation here today, as typical of
American colleges, and pleaded for a
more definite oocial focus in 'college
"It is probable,” he eaid, "that not
much more than a fifth of the total
work taken by college students has
any direct bearing on the preparation
for a broad citizenship and social serv
ice, although all the social sciences
show a remarkable gain in the past
fifteen yean, both in the number of
students electing these subjects and
in the amount of work taken. "When
you find numerous women spending
from 60 to 75 semester hours—from
over a third to nearly two-thirde of
all their work on language and litera
ture—you have evidence of a large
misplacement of attention, more of
- which should go to the social sciences,
unless we are going to be content
with the aristocratic and individualis
tic'view to find (till of culture and of
the function of the college, a view
we regret to find still somewhat com
mon among college teachers.
"The 'tendency to the development I
of a social focus in college education Germany, in 1913, harvested 4,112,-
V exists and is rapidly developing but it J984 metric tons of winter wheat.
is still lacking in intelligent direction
and in clearly defined purpose. Scores
of students wish to express their reli
gious and moral impulses through so
cial service as a vocation, but too
many people, both students and teach
ers, think of social service as synony
mous with settlement work and friend
ly visiting. Perhaps when the econ
omy of a really constructive moral
ity and the value of the vocational
motive in education are better under
stood we shall have a more definite
and conscious social focus than today.
That it is coming is proved by the
stubborn fight the classicists and in
dividual culturists are putting up
against it.”
BARGAINS IN SALOON FIXTURES
Memphis, Tenn., March 6.—One of
the surest signs that the local retail
liquor dealers are not expecting any
immediate relief from the new nuis
ance act which went into effect lest
Saturday at midnight, is to be found
in the strenuous efforts being made
by a great many of them to dispose
of their property.
Elaborate, hand carved mahogany
and oak bar-room fixtures are being
disposed of, it is said, for mere songs.
A number of^thc saloon men are util
izing their fixtures in the operation
of soft drink emporiums, but a great
many are arranging to ship theirs to
purchasers in wet territories.
Superficial Teaching of Political
Economy Does More Harm
Than Good
(By Associated Press.)
New Haven, Conn., March 5.—
“Nothing haa done more to undermine
the influence of the pulpit in recent
days that the attempt to deliver judg
ments on questions of business or pol
itics on the basis of a merely casual
study of the facts,” declared Presi
dent Arthur T. Hadley of Yale in an
address before the Religious Educa
tion Association here tonight. “A
preacher,” he said, “who founds his
precepts upon such casual study is
like & lawyer who knows no more of
his case than the jury, or a doctor
who understands his disease no better
than hi" patient. What is wanted is
the power to trace consequences that
are not readily seen; to go deeply into
the lessons of history and law and
ethics; to grapple with the problems
before us in virile fashion, as intellec
tual problems to be mastered, instead
of seeking short cuts to their solution
by appeals to sentiment.”
His address further was in appeal
for higher education. It was needed,
he said, in the solution of the moral
questions of the present day more than
it ever was before, for the day had
passed when the right or wrong might
be determined by reference to old
standards. Decision on morals today,
he said, rested largely upon their ef
fect on the happiness of our fellow-
men. “The exercise of the right of
private judgment in morals,” he con
tinued “is full of possibilities for the
man who uses it correctly. It is full
of perils visible and invisible to him
who applies it carelessly or without
consideration.
“The education that will help us to
deal with these problems needs to be
thorough. The superficial teaching of
political economy does more harm
than good. It makes men think they
know something about the consequen
ces of their conduct when they really
know nothing at all.”
Occupational Training to Receive
More Attention in
Colleges
(By Associated Press.)
New Haven, Conn., March 6.—Occu
pational training is to find still fur
ther place in the college curriculum,
according to Prof. Frank T. Carlton,
of Albion College, Michigan, who ad
dressed the Religious Education Asso
ciation here today. This development
alarming to backward lookers,”
he said, but “encouraging to others.”
While it is not evolving into a purely
professional school, the college,” he
continued, “with some reactionary ex
ceptions, is beginning to offer courses
which form a definite basis for fur
ther and more specific professional
studies. Vocational or occupational
training, especially the basis oh pre J
paratory courses which the college of
fers, will supply not only purely tech
nical training but will also aid in ad
justing the American'youth to a twen
tieth-century America in which things
are not as they were. Our college au
thorities are beginning to- recognize,
often hesitatingly and with many ob
vious misgivings, that the era of ram
pant and negative individualism is
passing. No business or profession
is longer to be called purely private.
Private and public are being linked
and welded together; and the empha
sis is being transferred from the for
mer to the latter.

DRUNKENNESS ARRESTS
FEWER IN CHATTANOOGA
Chattanooga, Tenn., March 6.—Of
the 187 arrests made by the policp for
the month of February, fifty-eight
were for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. Compared with last Febru
ary the showing is probably signifi
cant. The total for February, 1913,
w»s 647 and of this number 235 were
for drunkenness. For selling whiskey
three arrests were made in the month
just passed and twenty-three for Feb
ruary, 1913.
LADIES! SECRET TO
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring Back Its Color and Luster With
Grandma's Sage Tea
Recipe.
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant; remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is trouble
some. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50
cents a large bottle, at drug stores,
known as “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy,” thus avoiding a lot of
muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning all
gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger.
Prof. F. S. Chapin, of Smith Col
lege, says any man who traces his
family tree twenty generations will
find himself related to anybody he
may meet in the street, as a rule.
