It has been difficult to un derstand the ignorant negro who refuses to kill boll weevils be- ; cause he thinks the Eord sent , them here and he fears to molest , them. But the negro's abysmal ig- ■ noranca and religious supersti- I tian is surpassed by that church which banned one of its mem bers for hybridizing gladioli. Here are the facts as told in a recent dispatch in the New York Evening Sun: “Rochester, N. Y.. August 13. (z'P) —A. E. Hundred, gladiolus growefr of Goshen. Ind., has been banned from the strict orthodox church he attended in his home city. The church east out Mr. Hundred, it was learned today, because authorities decided that in hybridizing his gladioli to pro duce. new varieties he was inter fering with the divine scheme of tilings. “Mr. Hundred and his sons are attending the sixteenth annual exhibition of the American Gladi oliu3 Society and the annual con vention of that organization. “A few years ago, when Mr. Hundred began to be recognized as a genius in the hybridizing of this species, the church leaders held a solemn council, voted tha.t ‘if th> Almighty had wanted gladioli to be hybridized he would have made them that way,’ and excommunicated Mr. Hundred.” . Religious and racial hatreds, most vicious and unworthy char acteristics of modem life, occas ionally have their amusing side. Long ago old Peter Sutyves ant, of old Manhattan, convinc ed that the Dutch were the only people worth while, said he hoped the United States would never become afflicted with ’’the pest of Jews.” Acording to the N:w York Mirror, the spot on which old Peter lived will soon be occupied by a Jew ish theater, now under construc tion. Here s another instance given by the: Mirror: At Elberon, New Jersey, now largely inhabited by Jews, the Episcopalians are few, and the Episcopalian Chapel, at which various times six presidents of the United States have sat and wor shipped their Creator was to be sold for taxes. The amount involved was S6OO, and no good Episcopalian ap peared to meet the emergency. Therefor’ Henry Levy, dealer in real estate, supplied the money and thus saved the Episcopalian char*],' saying. “We are rot of the sjyric rm e, but believe in the sanit- Ghd.” it would be well for every cne to spend a few nights read ing our early colonial history. 'iYcre are pages there wlfich we v. eh had never been written ’-—pages that read more like the anjjals of the Spanish Inquisi tion. In these pages religiously We see the oppressed of England crossing the seas in s< h of a place where religion is free and where nuyn may worship his God as he begeves and not as others de mand he shall A few years reij. by. the hum' ie Christian of yesterday is the wild, heart less’ religious fanatic who drives Roger Williams into t e wood in ihtv mitlst of winter: |ie burns End flays and imprisons those wlio refuse to believe as he be lieves. The pecker of freedom is new the pot, more terrible than i - vn oppressors. Such i the almost invariable results oi religious and racial bige. Aie we drifting today to.' days similar to those of a:i earlier page in our history? Y- •¥• The Lewises and Menckens-- Sinclair Lewis, succes ful au thor—that is he has made some m-'J.—v wriiing books—speaks of a Rotary club as "a bunch of <-r.ai i . bumptious irn .i town be driers,” and a New York Ro ta; iv l to take a fall out of Le A' I. - like a cert n revival- ist svho came to ' i cus once . the c< lumns df the Ti:d s-Rccorder v re refused hint proceeded, to 'take a fall ou® of its editor,” by saying a Jot xf hard and untruthful things, c.UIIVJ A THOUGHT I i - - - They which preach the gospel should live of !he gospel.—l Cor. 9:14. Humility is a virtue all preach, none practice; and yet everybody is content to hear. —John Selden. < would reply, thus advertising his meeting and increase has crowds and the COLLECTION BASKET. Lewis wants publicity, for publicity sells books and he re ceives a royalty. Lewis knows there are more than a hundred thousand Rotarians who may hear his book discussed and buy one. In attacking or misrepre senting Rotary, Lewis attacks ev othc.r civic club, for each is builded along the same princi ples and general lines as Rotary. Too often the public thinks of the modern civic club as a sort of chamber of commerce. It is nothing of the sort. Their mem bers should be—and ( ?5 percent are members of their respec- tive chambers of commerce, but Rotary and Kiwanis arid Civitan and Palladium clubs are fellowship clubs and not pri marily town boosters at all. At times these; clubs under take and foster certain civic af fairs, but that is a s-sdo u'-“i". Their function is to build friend ships among men, to break clown the barriers betwen competi tors; to spread a gospel of good fellowship and dealing; to cor rect, insofar as they may, sharp or dishonest commercial meth ods. A major portion of theii work is for boys. If Rotary had never done more than to send Dr. Charles Barker over the land with his lectures to men, women, boys and girls, it would have earned its place in the sun. It was Rotary which first ruled cut intoxicants and smutty stories around the male banquet table. Its motto is no empty phrase, for most Rotarians try to jvc and teach that ’he who serves best profits most.” It is Rotary and other clubs of like nature which have discovered that service in business should and must come before self. The Lewises and the Menck ens are simplv bidding for cheap notoriety. Their opinion? on most subjects are discounted by thinking mtn. They have budd ed their reputations for brillian cy by an ability to sling mud and tear down. Neither have added any worthwhile thing to the world they seek to exploit and not to seYve. Rotary and Kiwanis and Pal ladium and Civitan will continue to serve and to build manhood fellowship and a world-wide de sire for universal peace among men long after the Lewises and Menckens have passed and their graves and burial places forgot ten. -Y- -Y- Y Another Sign of Prosperity— Georgia’s greatest port city —Savannah —heralds the return of former days, when her wharfs for miles were white with cotton. The glory of former days is re turning, bringing prosperity to this splendid Southern city, which, of course, means added wealth to the State. The Savannah Press welcomes the return of King Cotton m the following editorial : As in former days of glory, king cotton again holds sway over Savannah’s business world. No more will he bow his head to the puny pest of the boll weevil nor curb his power to unfavor able insignificance. For it is now generally believed that the phenomenal receipts to date only mirror the great progress to fol low in the development of the cotton trade through thi port During the month cf Au;ud 100,000 bales and more have pass ed through the port. The world's seasonal record for cotton re ceipts has been broken and belief that more than approximately 1,000,000 bah-, will pa. ■. through the port this y;-:.r has b< < :1 free ly expressed. Persons who care to v isualizo the amount of this busines; will be astounded to think that one eighth of the houses and build ings of Savannah will he the total value of the cotton shipment through this port in actual mon ey.

P Stackhouse, operates very success fully several fine farms in Sumter county, has returned from Macon, where he went Monday ,to find a market for five thousan 1 bushels of surplus corn of last years crop, which they are desirous of selling.

I The Republican party, by its plat ; form, by the leadership of succes sive by the undoubted ! sentiment of the majority of its I members, by the vote of the major j ity of its Representatives in Con i gress, and by the known views o' I the majority of its Senators is com I milted to a definite foreign policy, of wTiich adherence to the World Court is the center. These two men are precisely the two chief opponents in America of this,policy. And yet by the op eration of our system, they become the official party leaders on this ouestion, in the body which has the deci- ion of it. Talk about “party responsibility!’ 'I his i not a mere exceptional ac cident. It is almost the rule.. When President Wilson, for in <! ace. was enunciating his war pol ici s, hi. party was undoubted!.', with him. It so declared in its of ficial platform, and nearly al! its members in Congress so voted. ; There were very few exceptions. , But these few included every of ficial leader of the party > in both houses of Congress—the of . ficial floor leaders of both houses - and all the chairmen of all the war . committees. 1 Such a thing would not bo pos- - siblo--h would not be even think . al’. —in any other free government -' on earth. I j Certainly, it would not bo think s able in any country pretending t > e pariy responsibility. It ought not S to be possible here. r I llov. does such an anomalous con dition come about? Simply enough, Y esterday’s gone when today comes around. Passed with the days that are through. Ncbcdy wonders or cares where it’s bound. We look to the day that is new. Looking ahead’s been a habit for aye. We plan on tomor rovv-—and shirk. Time slips along till tomorrow’s today, and we’re still facing yesterday’s work. Better ’twould be if we all only dwelt with time that is Tight here at hand. Better ’twculd be if we constantly felt that today should be thoroughly spanned. Putting things off till tomorrow is wrong, when they’re things that you should do right now. Finishing thsks, as you travel along, always pulls you through better somehow. Yesterday turns cut a day of regret when it’s filled up with things left undone. Doing tasks now is a much safer bel, and it makes life a whole lot more fun. 1 ho only Cdngressional leadership , we have is the chairmen of the com- ' mittees. These chairmanships go I by seniority. The chairman is the longest sur vivor on that parlictilar committee. Ilerefore, he always represents the past. Only when nothing has changed is he lii.ely to represent the present situation. The floor leaders and the war coinmittee chairmen of the Wilson adminisciation represented the paci fist past of their party. They were practically the only members of it who had not changed, or been re placed by those who did. The olddr members of the Foreign Relations committee are the sur vivors of the packing of that com mittee with Irreconcilables when Republican policy was “anything t-. beat Wilson.” / The rest of the Senate, as well as: practically all the House of Rep resentatives, the President and his cabinet, and the delegates to the party convention, consists of men who either never had this view or whom have changed it. They are the party, in its official representation. But as long as there is a survivor of the Irreconcilables, seniority makes'him the official leader, even though nobody follows him. Not by acident, but by rule, the last place where a public verdiet is registered' is the precisely the places where the power exists to comply with th-/ errdict. The whole system, at least from ; he standpoint of party response [ bility. is un-side-down. I ‘ I x ■ fe ■ . I '■ /■; - - ' B O E or Butchered I Bobbing ih< hair is a most I g deli', io operation.
