THE MACON TELEGRAPH: SUN DAT MORNING, JULY 29, ISO! THE MACON TELEGRAPH Published Every Morning and Twlce-a-Week by lie Macon Telrsrnph Fntillshlnc Co. to Mulberry Street Macon. Oa. C. It. Pendleton. President and Manager. <ni* SWING OP TIIB PENDULUM. Thera was a time, and not no long ago, when the average Intelligent • American was convinced th.it the aboil tlon of the British hours of lords was only a matter of a few years. The British upper house wan looked upon on this sids of the water as fSe ef- fsteal of the effete, an institution that must eventually fall to pieces frbm sheer uselessness. Moreover. It was believed that a majority of intelligent Englishmen were of the same opinion. Thin impression was natural enough, and had no little foundation, Mr. Glad stone having put the abolition or "reform” of the lords on the pro gramme of the Liberal party. But to Judge from the Indications, rutdi a suggestion would now be laughed at from one end of the United Kingdom to the other. There has been n marked change. According to an article in the Manchester Guardian, the house of lords at present “next to the crown, Is the most popular insti tution In the country." Tbo statement Is the more forcible as coming from n Radical member of the Liberal par ty who confesses that It Is not worth while to cherish Illusions. He nays that much of the power of the house of lord* has been gained by usurpation In the course of centuries, yet the peo ple nr<- not alarmed, and the number- l« <•- mt*«l< c of the lords In withstand - Ing Liberal measures have not made them odious. "Today,” says the Gusrd- bn’* article, "they are our masters, on ! the English nation seems to love f hMr, mastery." The cause assigned Is that monarchy Jia« again become popular, owing to the failure of the British democracy *to real ltd the hopes of Its friends. The pendulum, In other words, has swung back. A similar process, though not In the direction of monarchy, has been witnessed In the United States. Cer tain Ideals and theories that were once most popular now excite little Interest and no enthusiasm. Nations as well as Individuals have fads that pass and may or may not return again. A fad so serious and tenacious ns democracy, however, will no doubt become popular again even In England, and tho year 1920 an earlier date will probably And everybody talking once more of the abolition of the house of lords. TIIB BAXPRR-LO« in SESSION, lost readers of Kipling’.- ’.luu — 'Book * tales must have* been struck by thf r<?«cmblancc between hts various as sortments of animals to the various as sortment* of men and races, and par ticularly by the suggestion of the child like races in his "bunderlog" or mon key tribe. All *u<h readers will ap preciate the cartoon representing the Hawaiian legislature as the bander-log, or monkey folk In council, and quoting Kipling beneath a* follows: All tbs talk we ever have beard Uttered by bat or beast or bird— Hide or fin or scalo or feather— .lubber It quickly and all together! Excellent! Wonderful! Once again! Now we are talking Just like Let'* pretend we an—never mind. Brother, thy tali hangs down behind* This Is the way of the Monkey Kind. This is a trifle rough on the Hawaiian legislature, the majority of which arc native Kanakas, but the amount of vain and foolish jabbering Indicated in the reports of the proceedings is unde niably very suggestive, The session was characterized by the Introduction of absurd bills and nonsensical chatter. One dusky solon, for example, "proved his erudition in matters constitutional by proposing that the legislature should repeal the organic act by which the territory was established, os if this were n Kanaka affair pure and elm- pie,” and another, who wanted to fore stall the practice of cremation "twi»t?tt himself -Into a knot" In .order to sug gest what the cremated would suffer. The Hawaiian Is not the first legis lative bander-log that has been In ses sion under the protecting folds of the American flag. The same vainglorious and foolish chatter was heard from six to tight years after the civil war in the legislative hslls of every Southern state. The only difference Is that in Haw’all the bander-log represent the majority as well as the original posses sors of the country and are therefore not unreasonable In their claims to tho right they now enjoy, while in the South the bander-log sessions were nb* soiutely without reason. Justice or ex cuse, and were purely and simply the culminating act of revenge wreaked upon a proud and broken people. The one la comedy, the other was tragedy. i»it. i<< INI*K< )W, For a long time tt wns believed that consumption was hereditary and the late* consensus of medical opinion *hat It was not brought ;i feeling of gi relief.

I have Just) finished that very entertaining book “Virginia and Her Neighbor*/' by John Firke, whp has ao recently died. It tells the truth, and as far as Mr. Fiske knew nothing but the truth, but one reading it will soon see that what others had not written the great history writer had failed to find. My friend. President Tyler of William and Mary College, and Mr. Stannard, secretary of the Virginia Historical Society, in unearth ing the old record* have too largely confined themselves to those promi nent and cultured people, who were In such force in Eastern Virginia, and yet who after ail were so small a part of the • people. 1 have made a some what careful study of a number of old records, among them an old book made in 1638 In Norfolk pariah 100 years before Norfolk, the city, was founded. The old book wap the only one kept by the county court, and it required a magnifying glass In order to enable me to make out the entry*. The flr»t entry I noticed shows the rigidity of the laws against misde meanors of a serious kind. Daniel and Eleanor had been guilty of crime. He was to stand In a white sheet in the church at Lynn Haven and make con fession of hla sin, and she was to have ten lashes »n her back. This was In 1642. One guilty of scandalizing another was to make humble confession on her bare knees In the church. There waa a suit in court for two barrel a of corn, due for two years, and one for making four shirts, and one for ten days’ work, and one for two kids. In 1643 the first parlrh priest was inducted. He was Tho*. Harrison, and waa a Puritan in his religious views. He preached in private houses, and the salary allowed him was 100 pounds sterling. He had Lynn Haven, Se- wall's Point and Elizabeth river as his churchep. In 1613 the first Jury waa called. It consisted of Barth Hoskins, Edward llall, Thoa. Chiceley, Thos. Keeling, Thos. Causen, Wm. Davis, Mathew Phillip*, James Smith, Francis Land, CMrlitopher Burroughs and Simon Hancock. The first court was Edw’d VVyndham, Jno. Slbsey, Henry Wood- rop, Wm. Julian, Buth Haynes, Henry Sewell, Francis Mam>n, Henry Catch ing. The court took cognlzdnce of all of fenses. One was convicted of scandal izing a neighbor, and she waa sen tenced to thirty lashes on her bare back. “George Rutland shall give security that he will be industrious and take care of his children or be sent from constable to constable/' The rating of prices was made in to bacco.

Still we have been blessed so much more than other sections we are putting up. no com plaint. Our town is still on the building boom. The contract for the new cdurl house and Jail was let a few days ago to the Manley Manufacturing Com pany of Atlanta; both buildings to cost about $25,000.

At a meeting of the board of trus tees and the board of education a few days ago the question of building qn annex and auditorium ;ln connection with Auburn Institute was discussed and n meeting of the citizens of tha town and community was called for Monday night next. Both are anxious that the patrons of the school and in fact every one feeling an interest in education be present, that the matter may be fully and freely discussed.
