THE GOSPEL OF BEAUTY NEEDED

had some of the elements of a blessing

yielding much greater profits and ad
vancing more rapidly in value than
before the boll weevil first Invaded the
fields.
It Is frejuently the case In life that
what seemed a disaster beyond calcu
lation, with nothing liut evil In its as
pect, turns out in the end to have more
of the elements of a blessing in it than
tions, and that the pope was antl-
Chrst. It was an exhibition of nar-
nowness on the part of some of the
Atian'a clergymen arising out of sn
angry state of mind. The common
sense cf humanity does not endorse
such a view any more than It en
dorses idle statement of the gentleman
who drafted the resolution that the
Catholic church is not a Christian
There are not missing signs that a
hot campaign isto he waged for control
of the State Railroad Commission. Witb
its usual push Atlanta Is in the field
with the port rate Issue, determined to
win enough seats in the commission to
put into practice the views that are In
tended to build up the business Inter'
ests of that city at the expense of oth
er cities. Atlanta cannot be blamed for
this. It is Its business to seek to ad
vance Its own interests. If it sue
ceeds in doing this the blame will rest
upon the other communities that al
lowed Atlanta to triumph in this par
ticular instance. Selfishness Is the
basis of all progress In business, self
ishness ou the part of Atlanta is at the
root of the port rate agitation, and sel
fishness will guide it throughout the
-campaign.
The port rate fight was begun by
certain jobbing interests of Atlanta
and it is conducted almost entirely in
their Interest. They have financed it
and they will be the beneficiaries of
-the proposed change. Its purpose and
its effect will be to extend the control
■of the Atlanta Jobber^ over the trade
cf the slate, enabling them to compete,
under conditions more favorable to
Ahem, with the jobbers of other points
invade the territory of other towns and
cities and take from them trade what
naturally belongs to them. That Is what’
-Atlanta is after. Wo don’t blame At
lanta in the slightest. We admire its
nerve and get-up policies. But we do
blame the other communities if they
do not resist the proposition with all
their might and protect their own In
terests.
Of course there will be the usual
■specious plea that this is not Atlanta's
fight, that the philanthropists in busi
ness up there are spending money
fighting for the good of the state at
large. But did you really ever know
Atlanta business men to be fighting to
advance the interests of anybody save
themselves in a business way? Do
the people of Macon. Amerlcus, Cordele,
Albany, Brunswick Waycross, Valdosta
and other towns and cities of South
’ Georgia, imagine for an instant that
when Atlanta's Chamber of Commerce
starts another agitation for port rales
its mission In doing so Is to build up
the business interests of those cities?
■Can the Ethiopian change his color?
Can the leopard change his spots? Can
the Atlanta manufacturers and Jobbers
■change the innate selfishness that gov
erns buisness men in their desire to se
cure advantages that wil broaden
their territory and bring new trade
-under their control?

lesson of Texas we can await its ap
proach with far more equanimity than
would have been the case a few years
ago. Here Is what Governor Sanders,
of Texas, has to say of the result of
Its work in that state
Before the irruption of the Mex
ican pest the Texas farmer raised cot
ton almost exclusively, and had to look
to other sections of the country for
his food supply. Brought by the wee
vil to -the necessity of growing hog and
hominy at home. Gov, Sanders says the
result has been that with a season or
two of diversified farming the bank
returns show larger deposits than when
cotton was grown to the exclus’on oi
food products. Truck farmers, who
formerly were cotton planters, then
thought times were prosperous if an
acre of land yielded $75, whereas now
$100 to $500 an acre is realized.
Gov. Sanders, the Washington Post
says, might add that Texas is rapidly
attitude in many respects, to claim
that it is not a Christian body is an
exaggeration that will not be re-echoed
by the mass of enlightened protestant
sentiment, in the differences between
the two great bodies into which Chris
tendom is divided we are too apt to
overlook the essential poinls on which
they agree, the worship of the same
God, the Universal Father and Crea
tor of all things, the virgin birtln of
Christ, his sacrifice on Calvary, his
resurrection, his atoning jtower. AH
the great primal truths that are ac
cepted by the protestant churches of
the world are to be found stressed by
the Catholic church. Perhaps if we
looked more for the points pn which
there is an agreement it would be bet
ter for both branches of the universal
church, and the breach would be nar
rowed instead of widened.
The Fairbanks and the Roosevelt in

would adorn and give comfort.
There is really no excuse for this
absence of natural adorpment to the
home surroundings. It indicates a
lack of desire for the beautiful, a lack
of appreciation f’ the beautiful, the
need of a stimulus in that direction
that should be given by those whose
business in life it is to‘lead and to ed

HE
COMES, HE COMES!—BWANA
TUMBO COMES!
He has arrived!
Arms and the Man they sing In
Africa. Out of the desert comes an
aparation, out of the jungle a terrible
noise. The elephant killer, the lion
queller, the rhinoceros hunter leaves
his congenial task and comes to sat
th* paths of civilization straight.
Father Nile has borne many impet
uous and chafing souls upqa his mys
terious bosom, but he-.wa* electrified
as by a live wire when Bwana Tumbo
came. The water boiled and roared,
and the banks reechoed hoarse cries
the long-absent one.
He came, and was delighted. Ho
stepped to the bat, in the pink of con
dition. Not a tsetse fly had reached
him! The stored-up batteries of plvll-
zatlon felt the touch of tye living mag
net, and forthwith there were thund-
erings and lightnings, and the crash of
and confusion. At Nllua' mouth the
world waited for the burning words of 'ideals, and It will Inevitably accentu-
consclence prevails. But It is alone
In this country that there Is an entire
severance of the relations of church
and state, a complete divorce between
them, and eachi and every denomina
tion Is permitted to work out its own
salvation without assistance or hin
drance of any characte^from the gov
ernment. Incidents like the two re
cent occurrences at Rome will more
than ever strengthen the conviction
In this country that this condition of
affairs must be maintained. It Is an
evidence, or as such tt will assuredly
be accepted”by the mass of protestantB,
that those at the head of the other
great division of Christendom are op
posed to the American standards or
ate the determination In this country
to allow no encroachments on the es
tablished order of things here. It is
well that this should *e so. Nothing
could work greater harm to the nation
than any interference with the condi
tions that have prevailed since the
establishment of the government. This
qu'ckly take root and flourish like the
bay, the only explanation that can he
gi^en for the absence of these things
its that the people are indifferent, that
they do not appreciate their value, that
they have not been brought to realize
that life will he* ennobled by such an
improvement in the home environment.
A gospel of beauty is needed through
out South Georgia. The preachers
should preach it. Nothing will do
more for the people than to awaken In
them aTlove of fragrance, a love of
color, a love of the exquisite plant life
that God has so bountifully endowed
old mother earth with for the delight
of His children. The newspapers
should agitate it, the public schools
should seek to arouse It. There should
be a campaign, not for a day or. a
week, but continuously, for -the beauti
fication of the home surroundings
throughout this section.
The love of the beautiful Is part of
true Christian culture. It is part of
genuine civilization, it Is as much a
part of education as tho prosaic rules
of grammar or the established princi
ples of mathematics. It broadens and
sweetens and elevates life, it adds to
the pleasure of existence. It Is worthy
of cultivation, It is worthy of "special
education, it should ‘be part and parcel
of all the uplifting influences that are
at work In this section.

Are working together in one,
Till one dream shall become their
present,
And their work in the world be done.
They had no vision amusing
Of the goodly house they are raising
They hail no divine foreshowing
Of the land to which they are going;
But on one man’s soul it hath broken
A iigbt that -doth not depart;
And his look, or a word he 6nth
- spoken.
Wrought flame in auothcr man's heart.
And iherefore today, is thrilling
With a past day’s late fulfilling;
And the multitudes are enlisted
In the faith that the'r fathers resisted
And, scorning the dream of tomorrow
Arc bringing to pass, as they may,
In the world, for its joy or its sorrow
The dream that was scorned yesterday.
And out of the infinite morning
Intrepid you hear us cry—
How spite of your human scorning,
Once more God's future draws nigh.
And already goes forth the warning
Th'at ye of the paBt must die.
Great hall! we cry to the comers
From the dazzling unknown shore;
Bring us hither you can sun your

And renew our world as of yore;
You shall teach us your song's new
