’Twas Ever Thus.
A preacher came at a newspa¬
per man in this way; “You edi¬
tors do not tell the truth. If vou
did you could not live: your news
paper would be a failure.” Me
replied: “You are right, and the
minister who will at all times and
under all circums antes tell tti e
whole truth about lus members,
alive or dead, will not occupy his
pulpit more than one Sunday, and
then he will find it neccessaiv
to leave town m a hurry. Tne
Press and the Pulpit go hand m
hand with whitewash brushes and
pleasant words, magnifying Jittle
virtues into big ones. The pulpit,
to pen and the gmve stone are
tne great saint making
rate.” And the great minister
went a way and looking thought-
fu! while the editor turned to his
work, and told of the unsurpass-

fact she was as homely as a mud

A Sensible View of The Situation.
The Independent, a weekly paper published in Atlanta by
negroes in the interest of the negro race, discusses in a two
column editorial the recently passed Rutherford bill, which
guarantees to secret orders the exclusive right to the use of
name insingnia and rituals of the order.
A great many have set up the cry of race prejudice, that
the white man was simply running rough-shod over the negro
and taking away his rights. The Independent does net think
so. That paper very sensibly takes a common-sense view of
the situation arid agrees with the editorial published some
days since in the Banner,in which the position was taken that
the new law sought only to establish priority of rights and the
older organization under this law gets the right to exclusive
use of name, insignia, rituals, etc.
Among other things the Independent saj s; “It neither an¬
swers nor explains to raise the questions of race prejudice.
Woile this is a reasonableand popular sentiment, it does 'not
exclude the issue of priority of lights. The white man or
may not have his prejudices, but this fact dees not destroy th e
fact that white n«en organized and copyrighted the order of
the Knights of Pythias in W&shirgton in 1864, and that black
men, until this day, have not been able to show how they
came into possession of the name and insigna of the orde r -
Until we can show a legai title, the suspicion of infringement
hangs heavi[y about our heads.”—Athens Banner.

Mere Man Defeated Again.
Those who are interested in the progress which women
are making in their efforts to gain a foothold in various em¬
ployments formerly reserved for men will be glad to know
that a woman has recently been given the important position

The Orphan’s Appeal.
“It was in th e long ago that God, the Father, said; “The
poor shall never cease out of the land: thefore I command
thee, saying,Thou shalt open thine hard wide unto thv broth¬
er, to thv poor, and to thy needy, in thv land.” Annin he
said: “The fat herless which are within thy gate*, shall come
and shall eat an d shall be satisfied ” Later, bv the month of
his pron het he said: “Leave chy fatherless children, I will
preserve them alive.”
Jesus, the Lord, reiterated the statement made by the Father
in the beginning, when he said to his disciples: will “Ye have
the poor with you always, and whensoever ye ve may do
* the that have passed the
them good.” During all increased, ages the of the fatherless num¬
ber of dependent poor has cry
is heard more and more throughout the world, and the voice
of God the Father, and of Jesus Christ the Son sounds out
over and over again: “The poor shall never cease out of the
land—Whensoever ye will ye may do them good.”
The care which we bestow upon the fatherless is one of the
New Testament tests of tne purity of our religion.
God, in his wisdom and mercy, has so ordained that the
strong shall ever help the weak -that thos$ who have must
have share with those who have not.
As the needs have increased the love of God, and the love
of humanity, has constrained Christian people to provide
homes where dependent orphan children may be cared for and
trained for lives ot usefulness.
The work of carring for the orphans has grown until oar fair
land is dotted over here and there with homes that stann with
wide open doors to gather in the homeless ones, and save
them for time and for eternity. But, alas, the funds for car¬
rying on the work have not increased with the demand. While
hundreds are being rescued year by year, hundreds more are
crying for admittance into our Orphans’ Homes. This cry has
become so urgent that Orphanage workers all over our South¬
land have agree:! to appeal to the people to observe one day
daring the year as Work Day for the Orphans. The plan is
that every one who is able to work shall give the value Day of the
day’s work for the support of the orphan. Work the
year is Saturday, September the 25th.
We have at the Georgia Baptist Orphans’ Home at Hape-
ville 180 children to be fed,clothed,and trained. We are great¬
ly in need of funds with vhieh to meet our present expenses,
and to enable us to take in the many more needy ones Will that ar e
constantly knocking ot our doors for admission. not th e
1 friends of the orphans observe Work Day and send their casp
contributions to J. J. Bennett, Atlanta, Ga. Groceries and
other gifts should be sent bj freight which or God expsess be to “the Hap^ville. father
Ga. Remember, the only way by can
to the fatherless” is through yon, and you, who read this ap-
Peal, whom he has made stewards of his bounty.”
Don’t FORGET Work Day September the 25th.
Can’t you give one day’s labor out of THREE-HUNDRFiD-

The Country Editor His Ups
and Downs.
The hie of the country ulitcr
is portrayed in none of the dram¬
as which have come tlown from
the age of Elzabeth,
Nor have the plav wnghts of
later times turned to this copious
fount of inspiration.
And strange it is, that a figure
around whom has centered so
much ot the wit and humor—so
much of the pathos and tender
r.ess—so much of the wisdom
and understanding of modern
journalism—should have escaped
so long the pen ot the dramatist.
Metropolitan editors are tew »n
number, hut country editors art
legion.
r J hey ate feurd in tv t iage
and hamlet. Most ot the pun¬
gent paragraphs winch brighten
tha routine of daily life and most
of the editorial opininions which
voice the sentiments and feelings
of the great democratic masses
are uritten by the country rfjj
tors. They are ra-n who
‘
close to nature's heart-who at
least affected by the tads and isms
of modern life—who breathe the
air of the open fields -and whose
sincere and honest hearts are
clean because thev are one with
the birds and with the brooks,
But the omission ot the older
playwrights have, in part a least,
| p een supplied.
And the credit is Georgia’s.
Mr, S. A. Fackler, editor of the
Hazlehurst News, nas written a
play entitled “The Ups and
Downs of a Country Editor;” and
what js more, the play Has been
staged and from the most eritioal
▼ievvpoint has been pronounced a
success. It was twice presented
at Uuzlehurst to packed bouses,
Visitors In the audience declared
that they had witnessed nothing
better in the cities where the bert
plavs are seen; and preparations
are under way for reproducing
“The TTps and Downs of the
Country Editor” in other towns
of the state.
The Georgian congratulates Mr
Fackler. He :s a veteran in the
rank—a member of the Old
Guard. Unobstiusivelv and quE
etly he has toiled for 40 vears.
But at last all over 6’eorgia the
people are begining to sound his
name.
Like the author of “Childe liar
old,” he has suddenly awaked to
fird i/imself famous —The Atlanta
Georgian.
