Walker for Chancellor
Press reports, originating no
doubt in the Kimball House, At
lanta, stated a few days ago that
there were a rather definite de
mand that Clifford Walker was
wanted a-. Chancellor of the
University of Georgia. It. was
stated that the meeting of the
trustees -.1 the University would
be moved up to July 12 instead
of September to consider his
< lection.
Shades of Hirarn Evans’ The
state has disposed of one Kluxer
and now they would run in an
other. The Good Lord knows
Georgia already has had enough
unfavorable advertising. Aie
we now to tell the world that our
I <r.iv< rsity is to have for its head
■ member of the Ku Klux Klan?
It’s bad enough to have such a
one as Governor, but spare us
our children I
This may be a Ku Klux Klan
move or it may not. It may
come from the oily brain of one
|. J. Brown, who would like to
get Klanstnan Kliff out of the
Executive chair and place therein
I resident of the Senate Ennis.
It is a nice little dose the Atlan
ta ring would put over, but they
Idiven’t taken into account the
<temper of the state. Ihe skids
were all greased for one klans
man for chancellor but so much
“bell 'iTroke loose in Georgia”
he was sidetracked while efforts
were made to get John Davis
and some others who were
known to be impossible of se
curing.
The Macon Telegraph thinks
the whole thing originated in the
Brown machine. Recently that
paper observed:
Yes, it is a great little cheme.
An ideal little scheme, except
of that Mr. Brown .does not reck
on with the three factors: Gov
ernor Walker himself, the trus
tees of the University and the
people of the State of Georgia.
Machines takes themselv -s so seri
ously under the nose of the Capi
tol that they become nearsighted.
They do not see, apparently, that
although the Chancellorship of
the Unviersiiy is a desirable
plow for any man, and far above
the Ecads of our run-of-the-mine
poiiti< ian ; it is not likely that
Governor Walker will allow him
to be so easily intrigu d and
put upon th' shelf. It is not
likely, even if he consented to it,
that th trustees of the I niversi
ty would elect him. The meager
reports that have seeped out of
the recent meeting of the trus
tees show that the gentlemen who
compov the board displayed a re
markable independence of
thought, and almost, if not ae
t tally, snubbed Chief .lustice
Ri 4 11, the machine politician
of the group.
In the third place, Mr. Brown
lias not taken into consideration
the temper of the people of the
State toward the Chancellorship.
They are thoroughly convinced
that Chancellor Barrow’s admin
istration has been clogged up by
political intereference from the
outside. That no more has been
■•wcomplu h> d at the University of
Georgia is not attributed to the
deficiency of the splendid gentle
man who was at its head, but to
the little Clique that festooned
themselves around the body of
the University and stifled it.
The alm. ci of the University have
already spoken their impatience
with thus nr thod • and the peo
ple of the State have demonstrat
ed ch arty that they are tired of
political machinations in connec
tion with the University.
Yes, it s a great little scheme,
'the inly trouble with o is “hat
it won't work. No more chance
of electing Walker chancellor
than of electing him rabbi of a
Jewish synagog.
i ae choice is narrowing down
to Andrew J. Soule and in the
i ml we hope the Board of Trus
vid e that he’ of all avail
able m n will be able to do
most for Georgia and Georgia s
buys.
Watermelon Rinds
It’s watermelon time and that
means more flies and mosquitoes
unless we are careful. Here’s a
suggestion from the Schley

An Object Lessen
A telegraphic d. pub h from
Moscow dated June 12, says.
“Under the terms of a decree
now under discussion by the So
viet officials, common law mar
riage: hereafter will be re< ag
nized a legal and binding by So
viet courts. Men and women
will not need to go through cith
er a civil or religion.-' c rermm y
or even register themselves Io he
considered husband and wife find ‘
enjoy the protection of the So
viet law, but the period of th; r
living together, under the pro
posed decree ‘must be a reason
ably lone one’ if the couple de
sires that th,' union be legalized.’’
Think of the confusion ol
property right (if there is any
such thing under the Soviet rule)
which will result in a few sears
from this loose method of fam
ily relatons. And yet there are
thousands of persons in our
country who if they had the pow
er would launch our govern
ment on a program of socialism
which in the end would produce
conditions similar to the Rus
sian situation.

cialism is now, before it is strong
enough to strike effectively.

It is the vacat ion season.
Across the ocean or the conti- j
nent, if you can spare the time ami I
money; to near by shore or moun- |
tains or woods, or to fishing stream,
if you have only the regulation two
weeks and limited funds; but, any
how, somewhere out of doors and
close to nature —go if you can.
To sea of mountains? Either way,
you find what you take with you.
Either may be a plaything, or the
temple of the Infinite.
You may fish and hunt and golf;
you may 101 l in the sand and bathe
or watch the bathers.
Or you may wrestle with tlx
mountains, and conquer them, and
be lifted up by them.
Aged but not eternal; vast but
not infinite; each differing from
each, with its story written in its
ribs and veins—you may be a rav
age in the mountains, or, under
their brief inspiration, ami athletic,
an artists, a poet ami a worshipper.
Not so, the sea. The mountain is
Chri tian, but the sea is I’anljieist.
It knows neither time nor space,
it has no parts nor history; its
waves move from nowhere to now
here, without past or future; its
voice speaks no word and tell:; no
tale; its spirit i timeless, dream
less Nirvana.
The mountains to work and
thin'; and live; the sea to mure and
dwell in the inner vision—or eithar
to play and loaf and forget.
A brief season to be yourself—
whichever self it is. Then back for
another year as a bewildered cog in
this machine-made world.
WHY MEXICO IS STILL
I A POOR COUNTRY

enough gold—not ore in mines, but |

Uniform Divorce Laws
Uniform divorce laws, the
same in Ohio as in New Yoik,
in Maine as in I exas, are being
; i>- ~1 on us now by many very'
J well-meaning folk.
Let’s examine the proposition
a little before indorsing it too
wholeheartedly.
How would you standardize
these laws? Would the laws of
the state I h it allows no divorces
at all be the standard? Or those
that allow divorce for almost
anything? Or those that lie halt
way between?
And, on top of it all, do we
want any more standardization
than we have? Suppose people
in one state have one idea about;
divorce, and people in another
state have another idea. Should
each class be allowed to have
its own kind of law on the sub
ject?
The idea back of this move
s praiseworthy. But the ques
tion will bear a lot of studying.
! uucing wealth for centuries. And
J yet Mexico is poor, without free cap
I ilal to develop its resources.
I The trouble is that Mexico has
never reinvested its income in pro
ductive equipment.
Its vast product of mineral wealth
has gone, some of it to the loot of
conquerors; some of it back into the
ground, in hidden and lost hoards;
some of it into the ornaments of
churches; .and most of the rest into
the hands of a luxury-loving class,
who sent it out of the country for
imported wines, silks, jewels and
works of art, "or spent it abroad.
The result is that Mexico is a land
of wealth and poverty, of luxury
and squalor, of culture and ignor
anc, but not of productive capital.
What, it lacks is not resources, but
a system to put them to use.
SPELLING IS NO LONGER
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Frank Neuhauser, ll years old, of
Louisville, Ky.. is awarded a medal
as the best schoolboy speller in
America.
It is a fine achievement, to have
attained first place in anything,
and this boy will probably be heard
of again, for something more im
portant..
But the spelling itself can no
ionger be regarded as having the im
portance our fathers attributed to
it.
It. was once the hall-mark of edu
cation; the token of mastery of the
tools of thought and expression.
Now it is a specialized craft, and
I a subordinate one, at that. It might
help equip one for a job as printer,
proofreader or stenographer, to set
up, correct, or take down the words
of others.
It is a trade. If Abraham Lin
coln had not known how to spell, his
letters would have come down to
us as manuments of illiteracy.
Calvin Coolidge, of course, can
I spell also—but he doesn’t; and no
one would be the wiser if he could
not.
Spelling is still a desirable ac
complishment, but, for most people,
it is no longer a neces. ity.

Who do you turn to for good common sense, and who
does you thinking that’s dear or that’s dense? Who, after all,
rules the things that you do? The answer is no other person
than YOU!
Other folks, maybe, can give you advice, but YOU are the
one who must stop and think twice. Your is the credit, or yours
is the blame, when flopping to failure, or rising to fame.
Stored in your brain there is some sort of force that acts as
the rudder that’s steeringyour course. Keeping it busy is wise,
you will find; you simply can’t move till YOU make up your
mind.
Honestly, now, if the whole world stopped dead, could you
and would you keep going ahead? Worthy the man who can
stand all alone and always get by himself, on his own.
Turn to yourself on all things, when in doubt, for YOU
are the one who should figure them cut. After a while, you’ll
find out, like as not, that you, your own self, the best friend
you’ve got.
