The wife of a minister in West Virginia has been married three times. Her maiden name was Partridge, her first husband was named Robins, her second Sparrow, the pres ent Quaile. There are now two young Robins, one Sparrow, and three little Quailes in the family. One grandfather was a Swan and an other a Jay, but he’s dead now and a bird of Paradise. They live on Hawk avenue, Eagles ville. Canary Island, and the fellow who wrote this is a Lyre and a relative of the family.— Greensboro Herald-Journal. All the World Loves a Lover. A certain celebrated divine has published this title in one of his books. He says: “There never was a park bench that was not set in its place to hold two lovers; never grew a green tree that was not destined to shade lov ers; never a restaurant table that was not for them to look and anguish over while they were pretending to eat; not a seat in a train that was not nice for them to snuggle in; nor a book that was not nice for two to read to gether, vvhil they forgot surroundings.” “The above is true now. has always been true and always will be true. ‘All the world loves a lover,’ ” adds Johnny Rudasil, in his always interesting Cherokee Advance, of Canton. Attention, Mr. Merchant. We have a bureau whose duty it is to read each week the country newspapers from all over the country. There is not a paper of any consequence in our trade territory that our bureau does not get. This bureau looks over these papers, and when we find a town where the merchants are not advertising in the local paper, we immediately flood that territory with our literature. It always brings results far in excess of the same effort in territory where the local merchants use their local pa pers.—Herman Rosenfield, Advertising Man ager for Sears, Robuck & Company. Wrigley Spends Money And Makes Money. In New York city up around Times Square one can see at night now a mammoth new electric sign recently installed by the Wrigley chewing gum people, which costa the sum of $l6O every night of the year to operate. Wrig ley spends the sum of SIO,OOO every day you live to advertise his gum that sells for 5c per package. When you think of that, his little $l6O-per-night electric sign doesn't look so large, yet there are many merchants who do not spend $l6O in a whole year and expect to finally become regular John Wanamakers. ■v ou ve got to spend money to make it, even if -vci produce only a 5c article.—liariweli Sun. The Hal>it of Tipping. Tipping is against the law. At least that is what they say, but it is about all it amounts to in Georgia, or anywhere else. Some folks have no more discretion about tips than they have about holding their tongues. Go into a hotel and you expect to pay a fair compen sation for lodging and eatables. You are like wise expected to tip the boy that carries up your luggage, the elevator man and the bell hop that brings up your ice water, nr what ever you want. If you want to got good serv ice in the dining room you are also expected to donate there. This is a very foolish and reckless waste of money. It it was included in the hotel bill, a dime or a quarter for every one, it would not be nearly so humiliating to the average man as to be forced to pay whenever a negro wait er or bell boy comes along, no matter how well he is paid for his services or what you have paid for securing what he is supposed to do. The habit is growing instead of reducing, and the size of the tips is growing. The men that don’t t ; p say they can’t get service, and they can’t hunt up a hotel where tipping is taboo, because there isn’t one. This is true, and yet. if the traveling public sawed off for a while the nuisance wov.ld be completely ob literated. It doesn't hurt a man to give some thing to somebody who needs it. or to whom he feels indebted. It is very exasperating to feel that you have got to pay for what you get and then add a little more to the clerk that delivers it.—Thomasville Times-Enterprise. It Costs Not To Take County Paper. Last week a Douglas County man rode fif teen miles and back to attend an impoitant meeting, and found after arriving here the meeting was not until the following day. Cost him, including loss of time, not less than five dollars. The date of said meeting was publish ed in the Sentinel but he was not a subscriber. Lost enough on that one occasion to pay for the Sentinel five years. It’s not so much a question of whether you can afford to take the paper as whether you can afford to do without it.—Douglas County Sentinel. Well, how much is the time of a man who does not read his county paper worth?—At lanta Journal. Man came into News-Reporter office to take paper for six months. Thought it would be 75 cents.'Did not want it when he was told six months would be a dollar. In the next issue was an announcement of a free movie show that man would give a quarter to see, but chances are he will never hear of it. Several weeks ago a subscriber read in the News-Reporter that the state would send calcium arsenate to Washington, which would be sold to farmers at cost. The sub scriber came in and saved SIB.OO on his sup ply. Told his neighbor of it a few days later. Neighbor needed a like amount that subscri ber purchased; but the chance to buy it at cost when he heard of it was gone. Cost neighbor in this one instance SIB.OO because he thinks his county paper is not worth $2.00 per year. It’s not what the county paper costs to get it; but what it costs not to get it that counts most,—Washington News-Reporter. What Is History? “WJiat Is History?” Of course, all of us are familiar with the melancholy fact that a choice bit of gossip told with humor or dra matic effect does not die. Nobody wants to be. bored and few people are willing to listen. If you hope that your countrymen may lend you their ears, you must reinforce the hope by keeping their ears tingling with in terest. Else you will find the loan subject to the recall. Is anybody worrying about what is the truth? Is anyone striving toward the goal of accuracy? Then, like the virtuous, they may be happy, but they are certainly lonely. It appears that H. G. Wei’s as an histo rian, dobs not measure up t 0 standards of the majority of American professors. Those who teach history do not find in Mr. Wells that ac curacy and careful balance which they would 1 ke and to which they are more or less accus trmed. so they have gathered together, an hundred strong, and pronounced “history as written by 11. G. Wells not history at all.” To this pronouncement the World’s Work responds with the question, “What Is His tory?” and proceeds to answer it by alleging that what is read is history. “If the proof of the pudding is in the eat ing—and it usually is,” says the World’s Work. “Herodotus and Gibbon and H. G. V.' 11s (three of a kind) have the better*of the argument. They are read. There’s the heart of the matter. To what good shall one write ioraries of exact and unimportant facts, and then have the public pass by on the other s de? If the gospel of eternal salvation were as dully told as most modern history is writ ten, few indeed, might hoped to be saved, for few would read it. Better half truth absorbed by the multitude than truth thrice refined and rejected of men. “Wells can write. There is h.s indisput able advantage over his critics. He may be less good an historian, but millions read his works. If the professors dislike his history, they achieve nothing by criticising him. They must beat him at his own game; they must learn to write as well as he, and their better history will then be more widely read.” Are we to conclude, then, that only what the great mass of people will accept and as similate is to be “the fact?” Is history “good reading” or is it a record of man’s efforts along the lines of self-government? If those things which readily find an audience are to be pre served as history, we shall be in a sorry plight. Popular and general interest is excited over very small matters. A dog fight will attract a crowd when a lecture on an astronomical dis covery will gather only two or three together. But. thank heaven, it is this little minority re port that counts! Making a good story is one of the greatest snares which the spiritual enemy of mankind sets for him. More reputations are damaged and more precious truth is lost through this engaging pastime than can be computed. His tory is something more thap the clever pen wielders would make it! If it is to be of any value at all to mankind, let us thank Almighty God for those little groups of men who are toiling over the gathering together of facts and giving the energies of their minds toward securing accurate accounts of what happened. Vet. to these college professors the World’s Work says: “Gentlemen, don’t criticise him - imitate him.” No. gentlemen, please don’t! The time you may give to learning to write will take away the time you are spending with your plumb line and your spirit-level. History may be dull work, but it is vital and necessary, While it must always be subject to the kite fl'ghts of the makers of fiction, it would perish entirely but for the conscientious efforts of historians who are not guilty of the art of writing. Talking Prosperity. Business health is a good deal like physical well-being. Physicians have long told their patients that their health was unfavorably af fected when they encouraged or tolerated de pressing thoughts. Similarly the people who talk in a discouraged way about business help to make-business worse. According to some folks the country is al_ most suffering from hard times. They will larely admit that conditions are good". Al ways there is considerable unemployment, inev emphasise the had eoncLtions and make them out much worse than they really are. Even at the peak of unemployment that existed last year, the great majority of people were at work, and business was going on a good deal as usual. There never was a time yet when there were not good opportunities for ambitious and enterprising and hard-working people. lhe condition of business depends largely upon the state of mind of the business men. Some are always hopeful, and they have faith to believe that by a little more persistence, by using their brains a little more, and spending less time in play, they can secure plenty of business. And it usually proves so. Such peo ple are an inspiration to all with whom they come in contact. After talking with them, people feel like branching out and doing things for themselves, and they constitute cen ters of activity from w r hich spread influences that promote prosperity. People read too much about depression and disorganization in Europe, and think that this necessarily means that there must be stagnation in this country. But all through this period, Europe has bought just about the same quantity of goods as before the war. If we have business troubles, they 'are largely the result of our own mistakes, and we can cure them by policies of dtermination and co operation.—Greenville (Tenn.) Democrat- Sun. Words of a Rich Man. My life was never destined to be quite happy. It was laid along lines which I could not foresee, almost from earliest childhood. It has left me with nothing to hope for, with nothing definite to seek qr strive for. Inherit ed wealth is a big handicap to happiness. It is as certiun death to ambition as cocairve is to morality. If a man makes money, no matter how much, he finds a certain happiness in its possession, for in the desire to increase his business he has a constant use for it. But the man who inherits it has none of this The first satisfaction, and the greatest that of building the foundation of a fortune, is denied him. He must labor, if he does labor, simply to add to an over-sufficiency.—William K. Vanderbilt. THE TRIBUNE-NEWS, CARTERSVILLE. GA.. JULY 27, 1922.

DEMAND THAT KU-KLUX KLAN BE CURBED BY LAW Editors Endorse Suggestion That It Be Compelled to Dis card Robes and Masks. (Kditoed by th e Consolidated Press Association.) The action of the governor of Georgia in demanding that the Ku-Klux Klan come into the open and discard the masks behind which the membership conceal identity, has awakened interest in the organization and es pecially in its political aspirations. The Klu- Klux is a distinct issue in the Senatorial fight in Texas, while it is taking more than a pass ing interest in local contests in widely scat tered parts of the United States. The editors generally condemn it and demand that it be stamped out, while some of those who are tol erant of its existence declare that its members must reveal their identity and cease working in secret. “The revived and modernized Ku-Klux Klan.” says the Boston Traveler, “of course, denies anv direct connection with lynching. So long as the Ku-Klux continues to preach the un-American theory that this country belongs to a single race and a single religion, it will be unable to shake olf the suspicion of a possible connection with every lynching.” The anti- K i-Klux activities in Georgia of Governor Hardwick, who demands that the Klan throw away its masks, and of Senator Culberson, who has denounced its existence in Texas, brings high praise from the Washington Star, which insists that “an organization which puts so much store by an outlandish and hair-rais ing regalia, which rides at night and executes its purposes in darkness, and which calls it self the ‘lnvisible Empire,’ has no proper place in a country where government is fully organized, and needs only to be openly sus tained to accomplish all necessary ends.' The Ku-Klux Klan, in its present form, should dis band.” In addition, the Wichita Beacon points out that “it is true that there are many evils that have not been properly taken care of by the regularly constituted authorities, but the people eventually get the kind of government they are willing to go after, and the scheme of American government is not adapted to any minority—however wise or powerful—taking over the enforcement of laws. The people themselves must rule or there is no such thing as an American republic.” Every outrage fathered by the Klan should be punished, the Duluth Herald says, because “there is n oother way to treat an organiza tion of this character, and this way should be followed ruthlessly wherever possible to the end that this and all similar organizations should be Slotted out of the life of America. There is punishment enough for those who practice mob law and commit mob law out rages; and that punishment should never fail of thorough and vigorous application.” When it interferes in politics, national or local, the Klan is a distinct menace, and the Nashville Banner characterizes it as “a treasonable or ganization. It is cowardly and dangerous. Any other organization with which it affiliates and which accepts its aid cannot be less harm ful. Neither will be tolerated for long. There is too much strength in the ideals of good cit izenship. The evil must be uprooted and de stroyed.” And “the people of the country will not submit to any mob proclaiming itself su perior to law,” insists the Memphis Commer cial-Appeal. “Governmnt in this republic of ours must be based upon law and order, and if they are surrendered or compromised, then government will fall.” Because the Klan is founded “upon big otry.” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch thinks that “religion itself is menaced by this poison, which tends to set neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, and in the end to bring about a religious war—the worst of all wars. Let the leaders in the churches, espe. “FIFTY YEARS AGO” FROM THE CARTERSVILLE STANDARD AND EXPRESS, JULY 25, 1872.

Mad dox, solicitor general. dally the Protestant denominations, disavow and rebuke these devil’s advocates.” And, in the opinion of the New York Evening World, “here is an element in many communities that is always ready to take the law into its own hands, always ready to indulge its prejudices and feed its hatreds under the sanction of any rigamar-!e of words that condones lawless ness and concealment of identity. In the last analysis the chief strength of the Ku-Klux Klan has been and l continues tp be its stealthy appeal to men who like to put on masks and pretend that irresponsible violence is ‘higher justice,’ ” while in addition, the Utica Obser ver-Dispatch points out, the Klan is “founded upon ignorance and intolerance, two condi tions of mind that have no place in the grand scheme of American progress.” If the claims of the organizers have any foundation in fact, the nation is in a bad way, the Chattanooga Times thinks, declaring that “a government—municipal, state or nation— that has become so imbecile it cannot enforce its own laws, but has to rely upon hooded bands of men whose identity is scrupulously concealed, is ripe for anarchy and ruin; and until our municipalities, our states and our nation are ready to admit their imbecility, there is no place in this country for an ‘lnvis ible Empire.’ ” Although endeavoring to par ticipate in politics, the Klan, the New York Post suggests, “has not yet risen to the rank of a third party. It differs from other move ments, also, in being sporadic, cropping up in this state or that, but nowhere covering a wide area. In this respect it suggests the Non-Par tisan League.” But the Rochester Times- Union demands “if this much-discussed so ciety is indeed the harmless patriotic organi zation its claims to be, why should members seek concealment? Members of worthy or ganizations of proved standing are usually proud to acknowledge their connection with such societies.” Somewhat similar is the view the Lexing ton Leader entertains, holding that the need of the day is for “the exercise of the higher quality of citizenship, not behind closed doors but in the broad highway of public duty ” while the IndianaDolis News argues that “as long as the Klan clings to its absurd masks and yields to the leadership of radical minds, it will have to endure the scorn of real Americans. So far, its political activity is not encouraging, but it still has time to prove that its motives are sound.” And the Peoria Trans cript thinks that “it is reasonable to believe that the Klan is more irritated by the flabbi ness and incapacity of local peace officers than by the propagandist activities of races and sects.” A “striking similarity” between the Klan and the Know Nothingism of 1852 is seen by the Birmingham News, which “cannot believe the order is inherently bad, except in that it is an appeal to prejudice, and that is always re grettable ; nor does the News charge that any of the beatings that have occurred in and about Birmingham were the work of the or der. The unfortunate feature is that its re galia and methods are so liable to misuse by vicious scoundrels, not members, in order to serve private grudges, vengeance and aims.” And the Knoxville Sentinel thinks “it must be admitted that the Klan is at least not an un natural institution if it prove to be the effect of provocation and the answer to the attempt of some of our new citizens to dispossess us of our properties and institutions and appropri ate the land and the fatness thereof for them selves.” The man who becomes discouraged by failure cannot succeed any more than a child can learn to walk without falling. It is by en during the hard bumps of falling that men ultimately learn to walk life’s pathway suc cessfully.—Exchange.
