Observations Gathered
Here and There—
A woman in New York, so we
are told, won a SIOOO verdict
against her landlord after the
ceiling of her kitchen gave way
and showered debris on her.
This was not so much because
her injuries were serious. But
never since the accident has she
been able to bake pie as she used
to. |
The price is small indeed. A !
womanjvho can really bake pie 1
as it ought to be baked is worth j
her weight in gold. Hardly any j
sum, it seems, is enough to com-1
pensate for the loss of the art.
The boys in the High school;
and out at the A. and M. school >
are playing mighty good football'
this year and should be receiv-l
ing the moral backing of the
community. I
What wouldn t these husky
youngsters do if a hundred or
more Americus business men
watched from the side lines?
Youth longs for the applause
of those of more mature years.
That boy at school often gets
down to .business, studying hard
er and longer, when he knows
that dad is watching and betting
on him.
Captain Warrington Pritchard,
one of the oldest vesselmen on the
Great Lakes, is dead at Fort Wil
liam, Ont., at the age of 100
years.
What a pity that this man's
wealth of reminiscence could not
have been put down in print for:
us before he died. It would have
made absorbing reading—vol- 1
umes of it.
Our inland seas have their own
romance, though we often fail to
realize it. There is material for!
endless thrillers in their lost his
tory. Some day, let us hope,
some one will arise able to write
them. Governor Walker is
sure to call an extra session of
the Legislature, one of its mem
bers tells us this week. He says
that while the Governor has not
definitely decided just what
questions will be included in the'
call, the call is a certainty.
From receqt letters and state-'
ments, the Governor seems to be'
inclined to include the question of
a bond issue for roads and educa
tional purposes.
So far as outward indications
point, there is no public de-,
mand for the extra session.!
Practically all of the papers in;
the State believe an extra session 1
unnecessary, but the Governor is
now trying to change public
opinion, in so far as the session is
concerned. The session is rather
much of >:a certafnty now and
bonds will be included in the
call, we believe, along with pen
sions and probably other matters
which the Governor believes to
be of importance.
A famous old Chicago saloon,
padlocked at last after 40 years
of existence, is to be reopened—
but as a gospel mission
Really, no more fitting thing!
could happen to it. Despite all
talk of the cheer and good fel
lowship and companionship that
the saloon furnished it is a fact
that every good old-time saloon
needed some sort of gospel mis
cion to come along and qlean up
after it.
! If people could learn, once and
for all, that you never can get
something for nothing in this life, j
the army of swindlers and con
fidence men would vanish over
night.
For the desire to do just that
is the reason for the loss millions !
of dollars in "sucker’’ in
vestments.
A man wants to put a few hun
dred dollars into a project that
will make him wealthy Not to
work for his wealth, not to spend
years of toil and energy in laying
by a competence; but to get it
for nothing, without earning it.
And presently some smooth oil
• stock salesmgg comes along and
there is another sadder and wiser
man.
Ypu don't get things for noth
ing in this life. Things simply
don't work out that way.

neither have entered into the heart
of man, thing* which God hath pre

DOLLAR WISE.
There is a man in our town
And he is wondrous wise.
He doesn't fall for every scheme
That hot-air crooks devise.
When he invests his money.
He shuns all tips and guesses.
And looks for constant earning
power
And records for successes.
—EXCHANGE.
The Cincinnati Auto Club, aft
er wrestling for months with the
problem of the careless driver, is
now devising a set of rules for
pedestrians. But they have called
in a group of men who neither
own nor drive automobiles to
help them.
I That s new and refreshing.
. Too often the luckless man who
! has to cross a city street on foot
is at the mercy of the autoists
and guided by rules laid down
with the welfare of autoists solely
in mind.
Now he may get a chance, in
Cincinnati, at least, to have some
sort of a voice in the restrictions
that are put on his downtown;
perigrinations.
Route Three the shortest
route to Florida from the State’s
capital city—should be paved at
the earliest possible moment.
Between Americus and Griffin!
on that route are no large cities
to enter an emphatic demand for
State and Federal funds, and un-|
less the citizens of the counties!
through which Route 3 passes
form an active, cohesive organiza-|
tion, that road may be forgotten
and neglected.
Road funds are more easily se
cured when fought for than when
left to the discretion of others to
appropriate. As a rule each of us
follow the lines of least resistance. I
Therefore, if this route is to bej
paved in the near future the citi-l;
zens of those counties on this ■
route between Griffin and Albany j ■
should form an organization and
begin work at onQ£.
Route 1 hree is one of the most
beautiful roads in the State. It is
now graded and there is some
permanent paving of the greatest
importance to Americus and Sum-''
ter county.
A wise beginning might for the
Sumter county commissioners to
invite the commissioners of the
interested counties on the route
to meet here and form a prelimi-'
nary organization- W'hy not start
now?
An Opportunity for
the Church—
Suppose that scientists would
announce tomorrow that they had
found the secret of harnessing the'
power of the atom?
This isn't a foolish supposition.
As eminent a scientists as Dr. R.
A. Millikan who probably
knows more about the subject
than any other man alive—inti
mates in a mazagine article that
this development may come while '
some of us are still alive.
It would mean, of course, that
our civilization would be remade i
Possibly no more than eight-hour j
days; probably an hour’s work a'
day would be all we would need
with such a tremendous source of
power-
If we are ready, spiritually and
mentally, for a change like this, it
will be the greatest blessing
imaginable. Toil, poverty, crowd
; ed tenements, back-breaking la
' bor—all of these would vanish
forever.
If we are not ready, it would
be the greatest curse in the
world’s history. Science can im
prove the material conditions of
life; but if we are not fit to ac
cept them we will be shipwreck
ed. Life is more than material
things; there is some higher end
to it than simply the attainment
of a good amount of leisure.
And here is the church’s op
portunity. Our spiritual leaders
I must make us ready. Tolerance,
I broadmindedness, fairness, a love
■ of justice, a desire to develop
mentally and spiritually these
are the traits they must foster in
us, if science's promised prize is
to be the blessing it should be

Senate leaders are reported as
disposed to “extend the olive branch"
to “Young Bob” La Follette. That is,
they are willing to admit him on ;
• I
probation as a Republican, provided
he will assure them that, he will be
“good.”
Why not admit him uncondition- |
ally, and let him decid ? for himself !
whether, by his own course, he will
I eject him self from the party? I
I Whether he is a Republican is rather
(tor the Republican of his state than
than for his colleagues in the Senate
to decide. Legally and officially he
is. If he does not wish to be pratical
ly, that is for him to show.
Certainly, a Senate that has chosen
as the chairman and vice chairman
of its principal committee the two
most outright insurgents in the Sen
ate against the party policy cannot
raise very much the question of “re
gularity” against La Follette.
WOMEN FAVOR
LOCAL OPTION
The women doctors, lawyers and
economists of Germany, in conven

in favor of local option on liquor
question, which is as near to pro
; hibition as anyone in Germany can
now go. Doubtless, they will not get
far at this time.
But the old attitude toward the
I use of alcohol cannot permanently
survive anywhere in this scientific

people thought that, the only pro
blem was the acknowledged evil of
drunkenness.
- But now it is known that alcohol
j is not a stimulant. It is a depressant.
; It decreases strength, mentalactigue,
' and resistance to cold and fatigue.
What honest diference of opinion
there may ue as to the porpriety of
! interfering with the evil of alcohol
b; law, there is no longer any ques
tion that it is an evil, in moderation
■us well as in excess. Alcohol ceases
to be a “right” and the only remain
ing question is how far society ought
go in dealing with it as a wrong.

We all have our faults and our draw-backs, no doubt. The
world was created that way. The man who is perfect has yet to
come out. There is no such person, they say.
I mention the fact as a friendly-like tip, for it’s one that we
likely all need. Watch out for yowself, lest you’re due for a rip up
the back, if you’re planting the seed.
It’s always tc.i easy to talk about folk, and find lots of fault with
their being. And though it is oftentimes done in a joke, you’ll al
ways find list’ners agreeing.
Most knocking that’s done is a senseless affair, and it just makes
the knocker look small. Whenever you have such opinion to air, it
is best you don’t air them at al.l
To criticise people is all to the bad, so the next time expres
sions are loosed, forget all the knocks that you ever have had.
Speak only in terms of a boost.
It is foolish to go around knock
ing people with the hope that you
will be mistaken ror opportunity.
