And ono might ask how many tub marine
outrages it takes to eoustittite an overt art!
With that extra session, the chances of war
and the high prices of fjood Mr. 801 l Weevil can
rejoice over his immunity from current attention.
There is much talk: ol war but lots of people
wonder what we could, do but stand and shake
our fist across the broad waters at ’em, unless In
deed they would wap,t to try us on our own ground.
And that would be ‘mother story.
THE JpfANDWUmXG A>D THE HAND.
It is said change is written on all things. We
set* the handwriting and the hand in our affairs as
we trudge along life’s pathway.
The little sjv foot mound that we see in man*
kind’s last resting ground reminds ns that life
has its limit ;ind there is a sure end to the earthly
existence. j_,et one run over in one’s mind the
people they knew a quarter of a century ago, if
they have lived that long, arid count how many
• are goue and how many are here and what a start
Ung realization of the harvest under Time’s uner>
ring sc,ythe. Such reflection, though dismal, can
be turned to account by causing a serious view of
life's limit and a striving to make the best of our
tiuie. Mankind is inclined to look away from the
and /smal side of things, and this is well enough, for
Aorrors arise sufficient without being voluntarily
generated.
Change is a thing that should he observed and
be made a means of benefit. We mean that the
evolution of things having worked out the survival
of the fittest, as is supposed, we ought to turn
from antiquated to modern methods and only ap
proved ways should guide our energies. To be
counted a fossil is about as undesirable a classifi>
cation as one could be subjected to. Who would go
go back to days of crude methods were employed
in everything because the arts of man had not
gained that fruition which was to come through
great thought and great effort. Had you ever
thougt how the accomplishments of genius could
multiply; how one man’s ideas and achievements
could be built to by another though this other
might not have originated the initiatory principle?
I might invent a small improvement to an en
gine, but I could not invent an engine. Upon this
idea you so often notice how oue invention in a
certain line takes precedence and the old one is al
together discarded. It is combined thought tha
drives forward toward perfection.
Let our thoughts run bae?; for a quarter of a
* century, if we have lived that long and, grasp the
many changes in the material aspect of the world.
Change is written on almost everything, even to
the things of nature as well as the things wrought
or existing under the hand of man.
We should not let our thoughts or energies
lag in pushiug our own and our country’s interest
forward for any dislike of present methods or an
unwillingness to yield some set notion that some
way is better than one that is popus
lar by either its novelty or its newness.
Guess the Kaiser might, like Mark gsy
the report of his death was greatly exaggerated.
- Wonder if Germany considers 'the fish in the
sea neutral.
FREEDOM EMBLEM.
1 here is much iu*.erest shown now in the raat
t?r oi displaying tl\e national colors and Ameriqau
ilags ol all sizes seen to adorn business houses
and other bladings an d placed in other places ap
propriate \ 0 illustrate the national spirit among
the popple. And this is well. America first is
the great slogan and he whose heart does not throb
’frith patriotism at this juncture of our affairs is a
diiveiing derelict and deserves to be marked and
ignored. In a few months from now will be enae>
ted a scene that is unparalleled in the history of
the world. The remnant of the men who figured
in a giant struggle for on independent government
and turned their backs upon and their arms agaiDSt
the stars and stripes will march to these samp stars
stripes and alorg the grand thoroughfares of the
capital of the government they opposed, and that
amid the common plaa lits and cheers of men and
women ot all shades of feeling formerly. We are all
one now; ail loyal Americans ready to stand by and
defend the flag of our country. Wave on, thou
beautiful aid glorious emblem and proclaim the
cementing of the people of a nation where heart
beats are warm with patriotism, enthusiasm, pride
and devotion.
Legislators having, through disposing of the
prohibition question exhausted issues for a time,
might take anew flip at the dog law.
WHY ONE MAN WENT WRONG.
1 saw an old man the other day whose career
set me thinking, writes Clarence Roe in The
Progressive Farmer. He is a naturally a naan of
kindly impulses, a good hearted man. He is a
good neighbor He has never been a sot, and has
never figured in any court as a law breaker or din
tnrber of the public peace. Still, this man has
niiued his life by acts of dissipation and immorali
ty.
What I wonder is whether this man is to
blame for his broken life, or whether thecoinmnrii
ty or the 3tate is to blame. I doubt whether that
man is naturally at heart any worse than you or I.
possibly better than you or I. But he grew up
unlettered and in an an individualistic neighbor
hood, a neighborhood without community spirit,
and without well developed social institutions.
Vnd the craving of every human heart is for vari
ety, color, something to break the monotony of the
common round oi life and work.
“If that man had had an education, if some
worthy and ennobling interest had come into his
life to engage his thoughts, I doubt whether he
would ever have goue off into those practices
whose consequences now shame him and his kin,’’
said cue of his friends. And I am inclined to be
lieve that this friend was right. Or if there had
been a wholesome social lit" in the community, if
he had gotten interested with a group of others in
singing, or baseball, or social parties, or anything
that offered a change from the regular routine of
life, I doubt if this man would ever have gone off
alter the baser things of existence.
And all this suggests the moral duty 'resting
upon each of us to help develop neighborhood or
ganizations and wholesome agencies of recreation.
Your child is going to got interested in something
besides eating aud drinking and working. And
the way to keep him from getting interested iu
something bad is to see that he gets interested in
something that is not bad. The best way to keep
down useless or obnoxious plants on any piece o
land is to set it to growing useful plants. The
land is going to grow something, aud your child
is going to grow something. Get your child
to take up some hobby; get him or her genuinely
interested in something—in school studies; in read
ing good books and papers; in playing the v iolin,
the piano or in singing; in baseball, basketball or
tennis; the corn club, canning club, pig club or de
bating club—and you dou’t have to worry ranch
about that child getting into bad habits.
If a fellow has ice put in his beer in Georgia,
he will have to spell it “bier.”
THE GERMANS ARE FIGHTERS.
Whatever may be the linul termination of the
European war oue fact will stand out welt proven,
as it was believed by many before, and that it is,
you may put the Germans down as good fighters.
The German is of sturdy blood, rugged as U'j
physical attributes and mentally strong and 'the
German ppople have shown that in the attaining
of me great}**'-1 in learning, art, science hd scien*
tific mechanism they equal if they d'o not distance
any people in the world. They cue at tin* front in
enlightenment and progressive achievements. And
yet back of this all is a ferocity'and courage that
brooks no obstacle. Their conduct in the present
great struggle will Cnai a magnificent page in
world history.
It looks l-tea pity that the lives of so many
men who were doers in the world’s affairs should
be cut d.own under w hat seems to be a mad dream
of military prowess and expanded power.
Write it down though as you go along. The
Germans are fighters.
And, likewise, you may say there are others,
as the clash of forces has well proven.
In the great Franco-Prussian war in the sev
enties the Germans under such leaders as Prince
Frederick William, father ot the Kaiser showed
their tichting spirit and military skill and in every
place when called mi they have evinced the same.
Recent demonstrations in Europe might be
said to be somewhat tinged w ith Czarcasm.
PRO R A ELY OVERDOXE.
The fake prohibitionists, who were guilty of
the demand for an extra session of the legislature
to shove up prohibition a week or two for the pur
pose of serving their own political ends have pros
bably overdone the thing. I'hey may have formu
lated a law so unprecedentedly drastic the peo
pie won t stand for it, and it may bring about a re
action in Georgia 011 this all important question.
The real prohibitionists were chiefest among
those who opposed the extra session as an ill ad
vised thing, and these opponents expected to see
just what they are seeing; a few figures posing
as apostles of temperance each a Moses leading the
children of lareal out 01 bondage And who are
these? Mostly lecent converts to the causa and
for preferment and the flesh pots.
Geoigia needs a stout law but not an insane'
one that would require a compensated state stnelK
icg sentinel. Governor Harris asks for what he
asked for at the first and iudites anew message.
We hope the cause will not suffer.
Since the above was put in type the Governor
has signed the bill and it has bwome a law, and it
leaves out their oooftmssion proposition
