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.

A DEPLORABLE STATE OF AF FAIRS FOR STATE OF GEOR 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.
