The most dis tinguished among American citizens has passed away, and the govern ment continues to function. The American people mourn the death of Harding while they acclaim Mr. Coolidge as his successor in office. No tremor of uncertainty shakes the political fabrir of the country as a change m executive govern ment is accomplished. In the tw’inkling of an eye one president is dead and another takes up the reins of government, yet the peo ple are undisturbed. The founda tions upon which our fathers budd ed this republic are secure, and the passing of a president is but an in cident in the history of the nation. The bed-rock upon which the fed eral union is founded is confidence in its high officials and this confi dence, in its essenta] elements, has yet to be violated. Few Georgians voted for Mr. Harding and Mr. Coolidge. These distinguished Americans were ele vated to their high stations by the votes of other sections. The poli tical policies of these gent’emen are not supported by Georgians in gen eral. Mr. Harding is dead and Mr. Coolidge is president of the United Stater. As such his duty is toward the whole people. The na tion in its indissoluble unity looks to Calvin Coolidge to discharge the duties of the office to which he has been called by the death of his distinguished predecessor with fair ness and impartiality. The presi dent of the United States is, aft er all, but a servant of the people, and as such should carry into exe cution their will. Mr. Coolidge is, ter judge by his past record, a strong man. He will select hi course deliberately and one? having chosen this will not deviate there from. Let us hope that he will be guided by the best minds in find ing his course, and that hi- exe cutive actions will be for the L"d of the nation as a whole. THE WRONG ATTITUDE OF THE NEW GENERATION. Roger W. Babson was recently asked why it is that he is not so optimistic on the general busines situation when so many of the barometers of business indicate great prosperity. The optimistic forecasts of prominent bankers, manufacturers and financial aa visitors were called to Mr. Babson’- attention and he was frankly asked why a warning was needed under present stable condition.-. His reply was as follows: ‘‘My reason for 'sounding a warning is two-fold. First, the Babsonchart of business condi tions shows clearly that the per iod of readjustment is only about 60 per cent completed; and that further readjutsment is inevitable. Second, that the at titude of the younger ‘genera tion is distinctly harmful to the present situation. That is to say my warning is based both on sta tistics and on a study of the spiritual forces underlying bu-i --ness. Os course, in reality, the spiritual or moral forces are bv far the more important a? they really determine what Tati ti and the chart will later -how. “I am not fearful for Ameri ca in the long run; but rather I am a grea* optimist on this country and the people of this country. My love of America causes me to issue this warning that the attitude of the av< rage young- person today is not right toward his or her work. A doctor is not friendly to his patient if he blindly shuts his eyes to his patient’s disease. One cannot be a true friend of the United State? by blindly shutting his eyes to the wrong attitude of the new generation toward industry, service and thrift. It is th this wrong attitude which ha- al ready caused business —as indi- by tHe Bajisonchart—to decline. The chart today stands at 3 per cent below normal com pared with 1 per cent below nor mal at the beginning of the year.” The fault with the new (young er) generation lies in the parents more Ihrgely than in the child. The erstwhile rugged path of life has ben made soft and easy, •» -SW- *» • - .» Obedience is a matter of choice more often than of necessity; hard work is something of which the new generation knows little; “early to bed and early to rise,” today means to bed early in the morning and up early in the afternoon. THE GREAT CHICKLEBONE. John Chicklebone died the other day, and one hundred and fifty autos followed him to the ceme tery. We first knew John Chicklebone ■ twenty-five years ago. He was | then in his thirties and making six dollars a week. No one would have picked him for a thorough bred. He was tall, awkward, ang ular and raw-boneed. His hair was stiff and naturally pompadour. Once in a while he cut it. He had a stiff, bushy mustache that stood out at right angles. This appen dage partly obscured the fact that he had lost all his teeth. He had away of rubbing his gums togeth er when in thought. He was faithful and took the keenest delight and interest in his work. This work consisted of packing stick candy in barrels. Ke made a constant study of each op eration—the proper placing of each package, —the amount of excelsior that went between the package and the side of the barrel—the putting down on the outside of the barrel the number of pounds in each layer as he progressed. His highest am bition was to be the best stick candy packer in the factory. On his six dollars a week he married a tall, awkward, angular, raw-boned spinster. She had hair the color of wheat straw and pulled straight from her face into a hard knot at the back. She had a face like a man’s and was built like a man. She would have received no votes in a beauty contest. Everybody laughed at John and his funny old-maid wife. When John Chicklebone died he left his wife seven thousand dol lars life insurance. He left her a neat little home all paid for. He left her four devoted children— orphans whom they had adopted and educated. At no time in his life did he make more than eighteen dollars a week.. So earnestly had he integrated himself with the business and re ligious life of his little world that when he passed away his fellow workers in the factory and fellow members in his church realized that his going meant a loss that they all would feel. That is why one hundred and fifty autos held up traffic while they followed him to the ceme terv. That is why simple John Chicklebone was great. But then, great people are alwayfc simple. hanging ON. M e once hoard of a man whose excessive poverty led him to take his own life. Hi.- body was found by a messenger bringing news of a fifty thousand dollar legacy. There is a kingdom around the corner for everyone. All we have -O do is to hang on. The hanging on is made the more difficult be cause of human imagination. The lower animals do not suffer as do humans because they lack imagina tion. The reason the human is tor mented by his imagination is be cause he uses it the wrong way. Most of us will agree that we could stand the ordeal of the day. What knocks us out are our imaginative troubles of tomorrow, next week next month, next year. We can stand the weight of today’s bur den, but when we pile on the bur dens that w e conjure up for years to come, then we may flattten out as though a steam roller had gone over us. The rm-ta' ? ... that .J use OUf imagina’; to drow pictures of gloom instead of pictures of joy.

OLD DAYSJISf A MERIC VS TEN YEARS AGO TODAY Monday morning, no paper pub lished. TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From the Times-Recorder. Au gust 4, 1903.) There are many changes of resi dence taking place in the, owing to sales of real estate and other causes. Judge T. A. Graham has moved from the residence of Mr. R. S. Broadhurst, corner College and Barlow streets to the residence on Taylor street, formerly oc cupied by Mr. George Williams ano family of Montezuma. Mr. J. M. McGeehee who has leased the old wheeler residence from Mr. Nicholson, has already moved in. Mr. George Walters has moved from Barlow to Furlow street, where he has lately purchased a residence. Americus friends will welcome the return home today of the de lightful and congenial party of young ladies who have been spend ing six weeks in Boston and New York, studying and sightseeing. Among the fair homecomers are Misses Yonah Buchanan and Miss Maggie Buchanan, Annie May Bell, Lena Parramore, Kate Thornton, and Miss Saxon, of Shellman, the guest of Miss Bell. Miss Irma Martin, the young daughter of Mr. Marshall Martin, narrowly escaped asphyxiation Sun day night from having left the gas jet of her room open after the light was extinguished. A real estate deal of interest consummated yesterday was the sale of the J. T. Stallings residence Copyright, 1923, PnPTTI By N. E. A. Service. ITUcEII Berton Braley PRIDE You’re proud of your city, its commerce and trade, Its palaces splendid, its avenues wide, The traffic that moves in an endless parade, The skyscrapers rising in arrogant pride; The shops and the theaters brilliant and gay— But have you a place for the children to play? v , , f loure proud of your city, you justly acclaim Its wealth and its beauty, its power and might You boast of its progress, yon speak of its fame You view it with wonder and spellbound delight; Its magic enfolds you wherever you stray But—is there a place for the children to play? The children—tomorrow YOUR city is THEIRS, And how shall it be in the days still to come. If these, who must manage a city's affairs Grow up in the mean slimy streets of a slum? Oh, put all your pride in your city away, Unless you have place for the children to play. TOM SIMS SA YS: The shortage of farm labor is due, perhaps, to the shortage in the farm laborer’s pocket. Balance of power in Europee depends upon their balance of mind. Here's good news. Young men will control the next Congress. Nobody controlled the last. A real mad college graduate informs us plasterers in St. Louis are getting sl4 a day. Washington will have new one way streets; none, however, lead ing to the treasury building. An almost six-foot New York er has married a midget of 4 0 inches, and we ll bet she’s boss. Political news belongs on the sport page. When it isn’t a fight somebody’s being scored. Among the a ball game in Atlanta, Ga., were two fingers and one jaw. Many statesmen are returning from Europe. It can’t be- helped. This has been a bad year on sport champions. 11l rest the heads that wear the crowns. Upshaw of Georgia says the U.-S. has been on a drunk. Said it in New York, which may te why. When it comes to getting elec ted president these candidates seem to think they can’t miss. Swimming in strange places is as dangerous as riding a freight with a green flagman. Many resorts advertise as the playground of the nation; when really the front porch is it. The brightest boy in any neighborhood is the one who knows the make of every auto he sees. The young couple who invent ed kissing had just been eating crabapples or green persimmons. Women knowing how to raise children are kept too busy to tell. A summer resort is a place where everybody is from some- I where. THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER on Lee street to Mr. A. C. Bivins, who will occupy it as a home about September 15th. The price paid was very near $4,500. THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From the Times-Recorder. Au gust 4, 1893.) Do you know how many men there are in Americus between the ages of 70 and 80 years? There are fifteen. Four of them average 80, and the fifteen 76. Is there another town with as large a population that can show the same number? Americus is the healthiest place in Georgia. Mr. T. B. Glover, the old re liable, has moved into the store in the Artesian block formerly oc cupied as a drug store. He is with in thirty feet of the stand he oc cupied twenty seven years ago, when the Artesian block reveled under the name of Rotten Row. He says that if he does only half the business there now that he did l<W>g ago, he will retire from busi ness well fixed in a few years. Mr. Charles Ansley, the auto crat of the dry goods trade, has gone to Chicago, from thence he will go to the Eastern market to stay until September. Mr. Will - Tim Allen, of Atlanta, is in the city mingling with his numerous friends. Mr. Will Staley returned yester day from a ten days trip to the World’s Fair. Mr. Staley enjoyed himself, and is doubtless very grateful to his friend and employer, Dr. E. J. Eldridge, for his kindness. Dr. Eldridge gave Mr. Staley the trip, paying all expenses, in recog nition for faithful services. Pussyfoot Johnson has gone to Arabia, perhaps, to stop those wild Arabian nights. M hat the United States needs is an enght-hour Say for the sun. Here s summer half gone, and many of us more than tthat. Ford plans to distill coal, which ought to make a hot drink. Chinese are fighting at soms town but we can’t spell it. Pussyfoot Johnson has gone to Arabia perhaps to stop those wild Arabian nights. What the United States needs is an eight-hour day for the sun. The world gets better. Chicago bandit shot at a man and missed. Three Smiles —— Not Hi» Fault. Misto Johnsing was before the court for the third time charged with crap shooting. “Sam,” .-aid the judge kindly, but with a touch of exasperation. “I don’t know what you’ll ever amount to. Don’t you know that every man holds his, destiny right in his own hand?” “Ah knows it, jedge,” replied ; Sam mournfully, absent-mindedly j fingering the speckled cubes, “but' As’ jes’ had rotten luck.” | Silver Lining. There had been a blowout, and the father of the family was pres piringly and profanely changing tires. “I don’t see why you have to talk that way,” said his wife re proachfully. “You act as if it were a total loss. You never see the good in things.” “Well, what good is there in this?” “Why, it tickled the baby so. He laughed right out loud when it wont bang!” Evidence. Cole Black hf.d fallen afoul of the law and was having a prelim inary conference with his attorney. “Can you prove an abili?” asked latter.” i “Al —say which boss?” “Abili.
