Dorothy Dlx, in Atlanta Georgian. ,Wc are all agreed that the divorce evil ia an evil, indeed, and that it is a terrible thing for a home to be broken up anil the little children in it to bo cast out upon the world half-orphaned, de prived of either a mother’s tender watchfulness or a father's wise guid ance. Hut while we condemn divorce, we must not Iobo sight of tho fact that it is the lesHer of two evils, and that if there were no divorce there would be wholesale murder. Hind a man and a woman indissolubly together in fetters that they can break by no proeoss of law and they will cut them if they have to use the knife of the assassin with which to do it. Make it so a woman cannot free her self from the brute who mistreats her, and some day she will turn Lucretia Horgia and poison him. Tie the wo man he has come to hate like the fester ing corpse of a dead love about a man’s neck, and there will surely come a time when in some access of fury and re volt he will slay. As long ns humanity is built as t is divorce is the greatest preventive of murder among the mismated. As proof of this we have the two trugodies, both double murders, that are now engaging tho putilic attention, and both of which were innocently caused by wives who refused to di vorce their husbamlB. The first case is that of Ida SnifTen Walters, with whom Lorlys Elton Rogers, n married man, fell in love. This couple established a home together. They had children. They lived on the hope that Rogers’ wife, knowing of her husband's infidelity and this seeond establishment, would divorce him and permit him to marry the woman he loved and legitimatize their children. Mrs. Rogers refused to divorce her husband, nnd when Ida SnilTen Walters understood that the man sho had sneri- liced so much fur never would be free to marry her and to give their children a name, in a moment of mad despair she killed the children and attempted to take her own life. The other case is that of liiram Crsig, who a few days ago murdered a young girl. Miss Reeves, with w hom he was infatuated, and killed another wo man who tried to protect her. It seems that seven years ago Craig fell in love with this girl, and had iilmn- doned his family for her. He wanted to marry the young woman, but his wife would not hear of u divorce. Sho knew of his relationship with the other woman, hut she forgave and en dured meekly, as the anti-divorce theorists tell us that the woman should do under such circumstances. Finally the girl's conscience awoke, or some glimmering of common sense made her perceive how idiotic is the woman who wastes all of her youth and beauty on a married man, or else some other man caught her wandering fancy, and she wrote to Craig that she would have nothing more to do with him. Mad with jealousy, the middle-aged Lothario rushed to her hoarding place, and, after a scene full of hilt, r recrimination, he killed the girl and a woman who sought to interfere between them, and then sho'. himself. Neither of these murders would have been committed if the men who hud tired of their wives and had fallen in love with other women could have got ten divorces. Weak and unmoral as Craig and Ida Smlfen Walters are, they are not murderers at heart. They were driven to frenzy by the situation in which they found themselves, and out of which there was no gate except that of divorce—and that gate was barred to them. These I wo cases—and there are many others similiar to them- raise a very interesting ethical question, and that is whether u wife does right or wrong to hold her husband when he has ceased to love her and does love another wo man and wants to be sot free. Of course, a woman may be con scientiously opposed to divorce. She may believe that the marriage tie is unbreakable, no matter how much it gets frayed and worn or how weak it is and powerless to hold the man. She may think it a wife's duty to forgive a husband's side-stepping, even when he doesn’t want to be forgiven, and, believing this, she may hold it a noble thing to refuse to give him a divorce, even though she is forcing him down deeper into the mire of a despicable life and pressing the crown of shame on another woman’s brow and making helpless little children outcasts in so ciety. That is one side of the story. The other side is that nobody can say that a woman should deliverover her husband to any other woman who happens to want him. The neglected wife is not blamed if she takes her revenge iiy refusing to give her husband a divorce and permit him to put her rival in her place. It is a curious phase of the divorce problem, and one worth considering, because it shows one thing clearly, and that is that if we make divorce im possible we shall make murder com mon.

The Judge of the Superior Court of Chatham county has joined the King of England, the Czar of Russia, the Em peror of Germany and the King of France in making war upon the use of liquor. It was clearly shown in the trial of a murder case before Judge Charlton yesterday that the defendant had committed the crime for which he was convicted because he was drunk. Tho court seemed impressed with the fact that the court docket is made as long as it is at each criminal session because of the use of liquor, or vile concoctions that are sold in this com munity under the guise of liquor. In his assertion that the liquid often poured down a man's throat is not even liquor, hut something even worse than that, the Judge was unquestionably right. It is the horrible, hrain-ste ding and soul-destroying concoctions that cash-greedy men manutaeture in a day and sell to retailers, who" deal it out over their counters, that For Better Movies. The Woman’s Home Companion has | started a movement for better motion pictures. Several hundred films will be submitted to the editors of that maga zine each month in advance of their release to the motion picture houses. From these the editors will select from forty to seventy-five which, in their estimation, are especially commend able, both from an artistic and ethical standpoint. The names of these films are recommended to women’s clubs, to librarians, to teachers, and to parents, as clean, wholesome, educational and entertaining exhibits worthy of patron age. Of the importance of elevating motion pictures in the United States the Woman’s Home Companion says: "Within the last few years there have sprung up in your community brunches of a new institution which draws to itself every week more young people than are in the churches on Sunday, more young people than are in the schools on week-days—an institu tion whose influence on our young peo ple, in the judgment of educators, is second only to the influence of the family, the church and the schools. Yet of this institution, and the men behind it, and its possibilities for good, the average parent has not yet taken the trouble to make himself or herself informed. "The church has its pastors and governing committees; the school is watched over jealously by associations of parents and teachers. The motion picture theatre, which draws as many children as either, and for almost as many hours in the week as either, is not yet taken seriously by thousands of us. And yet the motion picture thea tre has unquestionably come to re main—a permanent, potent factor in our lives." White Teachers in Georgia. Covington News. According to the report of the State School Superintendent there are over 5,000 white teachers in Georgia hold ing first-grade license; 2,000 holding second-grade license, and nearly 1,000 with third-grade license. A teacher with a third-grade license is authorized to teach only one year. How many years will the superintendents allow these teachers to continue teaching with a third grade license? In behalf of the 40,000 little children under these poorly equipped teachers, we urge the superintendents and editors of the State to insist upon these teachers preparing themselves for better work by attending the State Normal School. A teacher who can make only 50 per cent, on an examination on elementary subjects should not continue year after year on the pay-roll. How about the 80,000 children under the 2,000 elementary school teachers with only Becond-grade license? Ought not the editors and superintendents in sist upon these continuing their stud ies, so that they will be better equip ped for the great responsibility placed upon them, especially as the State pro vides facilities for their training at a nominal cost? Should not those in authority insist upon the children hav ing first-grade teachers? The State Board of Education through its regulations governing the certificates of teachers, states that every teacher should spend at least one summer at the summer school in study, during the life of the certificate. Of the 8,000 white teachers in Georgia last year only about 800 were enrolled in summer schools. In Virginia 3,000 were enrolled, and in Kansas 60 per cent, of the teachers attended the summer schools. At the lowest estimate there should he 2,000 Georgia teachers in the sum mer school in July. Your children are entitled to be taught by teachers who are keeping up in their profession. Stomacli Trouble Cured. Mrs. H G.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILWAY, "The Right Way.” Will He Smooth It Over ? Milton Pounly Nows. Thos. W. Hardwick, the junior Sena-1 tor from Georgia, in a speech delivered recently at Thomasvilie, denounced the Democratic Administration for not t helping the farmers of the South when they gent up a distr.FS cry last fall, when the cotton market was demoral ized. We expected the Senator to make a defense of this kind, and are not sui prised that he has denounced the action of his party. How can Senator Hardwick con scientiously denounce the action of the Democratic party in turning a deaf ear to the farmers in their distress, when he said at a time the farmers were calling on the Administration for help: “1 am opposed to the Henry bill, and cannot support it. It is not a proper function of the Government to engage in the business of buying or loaning money on any product.” Of course, Senator Hardwick sees that he must do something, and has perhaps figured it out that the best thing for him to do is to jump on the Administration with both feet; but pray tell us what Senator Hardwick has done to get the Government to loan this money to the fa. mers? We do not believe the junior Senator can smooth it over with his constituents in this manner. Rheumatic Pains Rxlieved. Why suffer from rheumatism when relief may be had at so small a cost?

We like to work and we like to see others work, but we just rise to re mark that when we get to be worth as much money as some we know, work with us will cease. We could never discover why men sixty and seventy years of age and worth from forty to one hundred thousand dollars should continue to toil from early until late in all kinds of weather. We like to see a man provide something for his family after they are gone, but the average boy is better off if not left too much property. You who have labored your threescore years should stop work, and enjoy life the few short years you have left to remain with us. A few days ago one of our good farmers, Mr. Jasper N. Kilgore, who lives out in the neighborhood of Shi loh, lost his wife. On Monday last seventy men, his neighbors and friends, with sixty-five plows and mules, met at his house and prepared for planting the two crops of Mr. Kilgore and his son- in-law, Mr. Palmer. It was a beauti ful sight, these men, leaving their own work and turning aside to help a neigh bor, who had suffered a great loss. Such acts make life worth the living, and teach us that the great heart of the masses still throbs with noble im pulses and loving kindness.—Carrollton Times.
