A REEIRTH OF NEIGHEORLINESS.
In the crowded cilv. with its ntsii, its teeming activity, there comes
to the plain man a I'eeling of loneliness and ui.resl, and a conscious,
ness of the fad lie is only ;t machine in the iM'ent drama ol liie.
Thf spiril of neighbor lines?', of friendliness and real sympathy lor
others is cjruvi in” less as the years g< by. And especially is this true \
the crowded cities where most men arc forced to lead strenuous lives,
where distinctions are more closely drawn and where men forget they
are their brother’s keeper. A speaker at the Social I ml < inference,
recently closed at Cincinnati, truthfully states what makes holshe*
vists as follows: ~ . ,
“(Inr life has become so complex. said tins speaker, and the
units through v\ hieli we work are so huge, that each individual is
i, thing as over against a great impersonal organization. When I. the
plain citizen, am nothing, I develop either pessimism. syniHsm or
hatred. When there are enough of me we have Bolshevism.”
Asa remedy, the speaker said we must have “a rebirth id neighbor
liness-organized. made efficient. Community organization under a de
finite plan, which will give every man and woman a elumee to work
closely with his fellows for some common end; to ad.jnsl his point "t
view to theirs; to feel himself an important member of the whole.
Then is no denying the ruth that we have not lived close enough j
i,i due anotl or ami felt one another s burdens and disappointments.
W’e have become too selfish to feel for humanity at large, as a nation,
and we are m.w beginning to reap results that threaten our civiliza
tion and the stability of our government.
It is a serious condition which should arouse Churches, statesmen
and all good men and women to a realization ot their duty to them
selves. to I Hr fellow men, to their country and to their God.
A religion that cannot make one live closci to those around him
and have them feel you care for them and love them is not the religion
that 11 e Saviotis lives and for which lie sacrificed his lite on tho cross.
Bolshevism, with all of his deadly venom, will continue to grow and
beeoi . ore dangerous ami threatenij ato our go l l nl if the
spirit of neignborliiiess is not revived.
OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS.
Out of tl ir own mouths the New N ork Evening Post answers these
Senators who oppose the United States’ entering a League in which
international disputes will he suluuitte<l to peaceful arbitration. I hese
Senators are vehement enough in condemning the coal miners. \\ hat,
refuse to arbitrate ’ Insist upon being the sole .judge in their own
eause' How monstrous and intolerable! Net, as the Post points out,
they urge that the United States take “the same tyrannical attitude.’’
“The Reed reservation of the treaty, which Lodge says he does
not see how any Senator can vote against (he did not see how
there could he votes against the amendments which have been
beaten decisively) would assert for this country the right and in
tention never to arbitrate an international dispute, of which it
wished to retain in its own hands, and never to listen to the ad
vice of tin League of Nations in such a matter. This is an attitude
exactly similar to that assumed hy tin* coal miners.
The'League covenant as it stands excludes from arbitration ques
tions of purely domestic or distinctly national nature, anil so leaves
the sovereignty of its members unimpaired. This, at least, is the inter
pretation on which the ablest students ot the covenant are agreed
statesmen like Mr. Taft and educators like President Lowell, of Har
vard, as well as President Wilson himself and the Premiers of the Al
lied governments.
Hut what does collective wisdom mean to the collective prejudice
of those who are bent upon disrupting the League of Nations and the
Treaty of Peace itself .’ What does consistency mean I<> those who,
while condemning the miners retusal to listen to reasoned justice,
would place their country in the attitude of defying international ar
bitration? —Atlanta Journal.
AMERICANISM WINS.
Louis' itle < \>uriei-Journal.)
Woodrow Wilson has set another new precedent, lie has done the
hitherto undone thing -a Democratic President sending from the
White House eongratulatio) s to a Republican Governor on his re-elee
ion over a. Democratic opponent. And in this he lias done a thing
which Democrats everywhere, who are Americans before they are
partisans, heartily applaud, together with the great body til the,
American people,
“I Congratulate von.” telegraphs ihe President to the (iovernor of
Massachusetts, “upon your election as a victory for law and order.
When that is the issue all Americans stand together.
There spoke the tirst of Americans for all Americans who under
stand and value the nature and privileges of American citizenship.
Then spoke the head of the American government for all who com
preheat and cherish the priceless heritage of government which is
1 heirs and who mean to protect and preserve it against all assailanls.
In the ease of such a contest .is that which lias just been settled
by the re-election of <lo\ < oolidge in Massachusetts the conventional
personal and party issues which ordinarily animate and decide State
political campaigns are obliterated and the issue ot Americanism
atone survives. That issue was clearly defined and strongly projected
by the course of <!ov. (’oolidge in the Poston poliee strike and hy the
course of is Democratic opponents in trying to make of his action
in that en < ;gency capital against him. Uonfronted hy the astounding
proceedings of the police, peace officers ot ihi* government, deserting
their posts, striking against their government and turning their
charge, the city of lloston, over to anarci y. the (lovernor of the com
monwealth, with an instant realization ol the gravity id the offense
and a stalwart determination to meet it to the full of i is responsibi
lity. took prompt ami adequate measures to assert the supremacy of
the law which he represented.

A DEPLORABLE STATE OF AF

GIA.
Because he could not find a I
room in the city of Athens at a j
reasonable price a young man
withdrew from the Georgia State
College of Agriculture a few days
ago and returned to his home in
Atlanta. In the following letter to
President Andrew M. Soule he
tells of conditions:
“ Dear Sir:
Due to the fact that I could
find no accommodations in Ath
ciim* I have been compelled to re
linquish my intention of the (hie
Yeac Agricultural Course for this
year at least. I trust I may take
ut) this course at some future dare,
hut present conditions in your
city are such that I had no other
alternative but to leave the town
and postpone my plans.
1 niorlunatelv I paid my matri
culation fee before I discovered
the conditions that compelled me
to leave town in search of a roof,
so it the circumstances permits a
refund to this fee 1 would appre
ciate it.
Chunking you for your court
esy when I called at the school. I
hog to remain.
Yours very truly,
E. R.“
Dr. Soule states that if lie can
not secure suitable accommoda
tions for the young man, the col
lege will gladly refund the matri
culation fee. At the present time
there are young men rooming on
every street in Athens and all the
dormitories of the University are
not sufficient to care for the stu
dents oi the College of Agricul
ture alone, much less the other de
partments.
Several vouug men. like tie one
from Atlanta, have withdrawn
’rem the ('oilego and have either
returned home or have entered
other colleges where they could
get into a dormitory and live at a
reasonable cost, says Dr. Soule. It
is too bad. he further states, that
our returning soldiers themselves
are denied an education because
the state lias not provided the nec
essary living quarters, and class
rooms. for that matter, to adequa
tely take care of them.
This matter is coming to a head
in the near future and the state
must make necessary appropria
tion to cope with the demands of
the educational age in which we
are living.
