THE EDITOR’S RECORD. The editor died and wont to heaven, But Btood outside the arate Because he hadn’t the nerve to knock. And thought that he would wait Till some other mortals came along; He’d then Bee what they’d do. And if they entered the pearly gato He thought ho might slip through; He watched the vast procession pass Up to the portals wide. While Peter told them they were up too high, And others he took inside. The editor, weary of waiting so long, Finally got in line To see if Peter would accept him then Or would "with thanks” decline; He heard the sweet-voiced angels Bing, His eyes filled to the brim; He shivered and shook in agony. Knowing his chances slim. "Aha!” said Peter. "An editor hero?” * lHe laughed with pure delight.) "Why. certainly you may come right in. For all you did was write.” of YOURS TO PLEASE I. G.

C. GlooerCo. Communicated. Commissioner Jarrell Talks Great Emory Plans. In commmon with all the great churches of Christendom the Metho dist Episcopal Church, South, from the beginning of its history, has found ed and fostered institutions of learning. In so doing it has not departed from the course of the Church of Christ in all ages. This educational policy has not been' pursued for the achievement of secta rian ends, but for the accomplishment of pious and patriotic purposes. The object proposed is the promotion of such intellectual culture as will con serve the democratic institutions, so cial welfare and religious interests of our country. The church proposes institutions of learning in harmony with the repub lican spirit of the American common wealth, and permeated by the prin ciples and influence of the Christian re ligion. It does not believe that the high ends at which it aimB can be best secured and served by a bureaucratic type of secular education, imparted in institutions which, in separation from the ownership and crontrol of both church and State, boast of irresponsi bility to the people and seek support from sources of supply infected with the same evil spirit of spurious inde pendentism. Under the American system of gov ernment the teaching of religion must be left in a large degree in the hands of the home and the church. To dis charge her obligation in this respect the church must have schools of higher learning. In the nature of the caBe and under the American system these Christian schools cannot be owned and operated by the State, but must be left to the church. It is the narrowest bigotry and the most arrogant tyranny to try to rob the church of the right to teach her own ' youth. That these schools should promote the interests of their denomination while serving in a larger way the needs of society and the nation is most natural, and is in deed desirable if these great churches are themselves a blessing to, the coun try. That the Methodist church will build and adequately endow Emory Univer sity ought to be a foregone conclusion. If Georgia will add $500,000 to the Atlanta half-million its permanence will be assured. Eighteen other annual conferences will put their gifts into an institution which will yield its largest benefit to our own State. MoBt of us would sacrifice things dearer than money to prevent the loss of political independence. We do not stop to consider that there are other forms of dependence to which we tame ly submit, though a small part of our means would alter the situation. Who ever educates our youth will accent our speech and control the moral and economic forces of our society. The Hebrews at one time were forced to sharpen their plows on Philistine anvils, and we have been content to see our most aspiring youth sharpen their wits in foreign universities. In the times of our poverty God winked at this neglect, but now commands all Southerners everywhere to repent. There are seven universities in the United States whose endowments ex ceed $5,000,000 each. Not one of these is in the South. The endowment of Columbia University, New York, iB greater than all the endowments of all the colleges and universities in the whole South. The-endowment of Har vard University is nearly as great. In Emory Uuiversity the Southeast has its most promising opportunity to build a great university. Three strong A grade schools are in successful oper ation, and a fourth will open in the fall as the Lamar School of Law, the only three-year law Bchool in this part of the country. The school has nearly $3,000,(WO behind it now, and the cam paign will be pressed with increasing vigor until a $5,000,000 institution is as sured. The Ph. D. degree will then be offered, and the Greater Emory will get on the educational map of the na tion. Shall we not keep our achool-honses in our own hands, and hold them in trust for the good of the nation and for the glory of God? Let us plant our ban ners on our college walls, furnish from our own fortunes and self denials the fortunes of this war, and from < ur own firesides the captains of this fight. What Grover Cleveland Did. Nashville Banner Just about thirty years ago the first. Cleveland administration was con fronted by a situation resembling the one that now opposes the administra tion of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Cleveland was the least imaginative and excitable of men. He held in the greatest detes tation the kind of vainglorious bully ing, called militarism, which has brought tumult on the world. But, be sides being conservative, he was u man of watchful intelligence. He had no illusions about the kind of world he was living in. He did not pretend to believe things that he knew were not true. With all his inclination toward peace, he was the last man on earth who would think of going unarmed in an armed camp. In one of his mes sages he wrote: The nation that cannot resist ag gression is constantly exposed to it. Its foreign policy is of necessity weak, and its negotiations are conducted with disadvantage because it is not in con dition to enforce terms dictated by its sense of right and justice.” Observe the language. To enforce terms. Not to plead in vain for jus tice, but to compel it by force of arms. He did not want a navy (he said) which was no more than a “shabby ornament of government,” but one adequate to carry out, should necessity arise, the jurpose for which navieB are actually juilt.—Collier’s Weekly. The rehabilitation of the navy came during Mr. Cleveland’s administration and it was under the direction of a Southern man, a Confederate veteran, Hon. Hilary Herbert of Alabama, who held the position of Secretary of the Navy. The building of the new navy came none too soon. It enabled Mr. Cleveland to make some thing more than a farce of his demand on Great Britain that she desist from her seeming purpose to arbitrarily appropriate a part of Ven ezuela’s territory, and it was also in time for the war with Spain. Without the warships the United States pos sessed at that time the decisive battles of Manila and Santiago would have been impossible, and the war might have been protracted and expensive. In fact, our seacoast cities would have been subject to bombardment from Spanish ships. Mr. Cleveland’s prescience—his prac tice 1 -fcnse, it would be better to say — saved this country from humiliation, embarrassment and perhaps spoliation. The new navy built under the Cleve land administration gave this Govern ment its first standing as a world power and made it able to assume the place among other nations to which its size, wealth and population entitled it. The United States is still growing. Its commerce has increased, and there is a prospect that it will be greatly in creased in the near future. A larger navy is needed to maintain our rightful national importance, and measures of military defense to secure us from pos sibie invasion are also required. The war in Europe has brought revc lations which show us to be behind in matters of preparedness. It iB a mere matter of common Bense not to remain in that unsafe condition. Mr. Cleveland had little imagination, but he had a wonderfully good fund of common sense. What he said in his early eighties and what subsequent events fully justified is true of pesent conditions. “Just Right.” Milton County Nows. A few weeks before the prohibition law went into effect in Georgia a well- known planter in the southern part of the State received from his regular house in Kentucky a ten-gallon keg of “bourbon.” He had always received a good article from this house, hut this keg contained a mixture that the planter could not get down with a good face, lie immediately became philan- trophic, although he had previous to this occasion been very sparing with this very scarce article. Sending for “Uncle Joe,” who had been on the plantation for fifty years or more, he said to the old darkey: “Joe, this prohibition law will go into effect in a week or so, and I don’t want to be caught with more than is allowed by law. I have just received a keg of good whiskey, and as it will be hard for you and the hands to get any in the future, I want you to take this and treat them all, telling them that I appreciate the good work they have done and deBire them to have a drink on me.” He saw the old darkey the next day and asked him: “Joe, how was thatlicker?” “Bobs, hit was jes’ right.” “How do you mean by ’jes right?” “Why, boss, if hit had er been any better we wouldn’t er got it, un’ ef hit had er been any wore’ wo couldn’t er drunk it.” The Joy of the Cornfield. Tuscaloosa Nows. “I feel better from having seen that field of growing corn,” is a thought expressed, but far more often felt sub consciously by men and women after a journey out into the country in these days of June, when big white clouds sail through the sky, and the earth lies warm and dusty underfoot. A field of growing corn! There is something in it that appeals, whether we are con scious of it or not, to our deepest hu man instincts, for it arouses in us a sympathy with the great warm earth which bears us, which supports us through life, and in the end takes ua back unto her breast. But it is not of the beginning or the end that the corn, field reminds us; it is of the present and of the near future, when cold winds shall blow, that the corn is suggestive. We see it now in its growing beauty, and in vision we see well-stocked cribs bulging with plenty for man and beast. There is hardly a sense that it does not appeal to. In its green and leafy beauty it makeB a picture for the eye. When it is stirred by the wind its rustle is a symphony for the ear. There is a good earthy smell in the well-worked rows. And, contemplating the growing field, we get a foretaste of the well- filled ear roasted in the shuck or boiled on the cob. It is no wonder, then, that men feel better after having Been a field of grow ing corn, Out This Out—It is Worth Money. Don’t Miss This.

Jimmy owns a $1 watch which he bought six years ago. Recently it re fused to run, so Jimmy took it to a jeweler. He made a post-mortem ex amination and when Jimmy called for the verdict next day his watch was handed him with a piece of crepe tied to its Btem. “No hope!” was the mournful ver dict of the jeweler. “Might as well send it to Davy Jones’ locker.” “What's the matter?” asked Jimmy, alarmed. “Found a cockroach inBide.” “That’s what plugged up the works : eh?” “No,” replied the jeweler. “The cockroach had been keeping the thing going, but he died at his poet.” A lot of people seem to think it smart to beat a newspaper out of subscrip tion, and will frequently take a paper a whole year, read it and profit by it, and then refuse to pay for it. This is down right dishonesty. It is just as bad as beating a grocery bill.—Dalton Citizen. Bowel Complaints in India. In a lecture at one of the Des Moines, Iowa, churches a missionary from India told of going into the interior of India, where he was taken Bick; that he had a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with him him and believed that it saved his life. This remedy is used successfully in India both as a preventive and cure for cholera. You may know from this that it can be depended upon for the milder forms of oowel complaint that occur in this country. Obtainable everywhere. How to Feel Well To-morrow.
