■ How Hon. Mitchell Palmer
Came, Saw and Retired
:yf PECULIARLY significant turn of the
‘ present campaign in Georgia was the
; alacrity and, we imagine, great shrug
of relief with which Hon. A. Mitchell Pal
taer retired from the trenches when he real
ized the character and purpose of the war
fare he had been summoned to lead. In his
Swivel chair at Washington Mr. Palmer doubt
less interpreted the invitation and appeal of
ja certain political clique as a solemn call to
{service, a cry from Macedonia to come down
and save an erring people from perdition. In
Jiis mind’s eye he saw an epic battle, his
long-distance advisors a host of shining war
riors, himself their redoubtable leader.
Quixote never sallied forth from the horse lot
of La Mancha with hotter pulse or higher ex
pectation than Attorney General brought
burning to nis Georgia adventure.
•*> Alas, the disillusion! Scarcely had he ar
rived amongst his moody retainers when he
perceived that instead of their being aflame
'With zeal for an unmodified League of Na
tions, they were consumed with factional
:Bate for a distinguished Democrat by the
name of Hoke Smith. Instead of lofty dis*,
jcourses on “the parliament of man” and “the
federation of the world,” he heard a gnashing
trf teeth and a babble of abuse, in which the
distinctive note, as well as he could gather,
related to “forty dead bodies’’ being “drug
Ti*om the Senate Chamber.” Hailing from the
.jvoodland of Quaker Penn, if not straight
■from the City of Brotherly Love, Mr. Palmer
was amazed at so monstrous a stream of gall
and wormwood. He had not previously con
sidered it needful to charge a man with all
t|ie crimes of the calendar in order to oppose
him on political issues. He doubtless had
felt, indeed, that one might easily dissent
worn another’s politics without denying his
serviceableness, much less assailing his char
acter. Not so with these new associates;
with them it was to be all fire and brim
stone, thunder and gore. If he had come
expecting a council of benignant spirits hero
ically devoted to the cause of keeping the
League covenant’s p’s and q’s and commas
alt unaltered, what must have been his emo
tions as it dawned upon him that in reality
he was in the hands of political feudists whose
ffliief if not only interest lay in destroying the'
State’s senior Senator.
With this uninspiring commencement Mr.
Palmer proceeded upon his missionary tour.
The further he went the more plainly did he
fee that the Democrats of Georgia had been
floing some thinking of their own on the is
fbe of the League of .Nations. He saw, if
he made the best of his opportunities for
Observation, that while some were unquali
fiedly against the League and others unquali
fiedly against reservations, the majority were
pf the belief that in this controversy it’’is
better to take the course that will assure the
Treaty’s adoption and the return to normal
Conditions than to play the role of Bitter
enders and losd a great principle rather than
compromise a detail. Now, ostensibly Mr.
falmer was not antagonistic to this view; he
Conceded that some reservations might be
Allowable, provided they passed muster be
fore the President—though what they would
be has never yet been suggested nor, so far
as we know, even surmised. The crux of the
matter, however, is that the Treaty, with
the League covenant, cannot procure a rati
fying majority in the Senate without those
Reservations on which the Senate majority
insists. Nor is there the remotest likelihood
Os the Senate’s personnel being so altered
Within the next year or so as to change this
decisively important fact. Obviously, then,
if we are to have a League covenant, it must
be-such a covenant as the present Senate will
approve; that is to say, a covenant accom
panied by the reservations which the ma
jority of the Senate considers essential. The
■practical question, therefore, is simply this:
.Shall the Treaty be ratified and tranquillity
restored, upon these terms, or shall our in
ternational relations, involving our own and
-the world’s vital interests, be held indefinite
ly in suspense? Shall we have a League
of Nations which assuredly will be a great
•con'server of peace and probably a fore-run
ner of larger undertakings in the decades
•ahead, or shall we reject the present oppor
tunity altogether rather than accept the Sen
ate majority’s reservations? It was upon this
very question that Mr. Palme’s candidacy be
fore the people of Georgia went to pieces.
For while he disclaimed the attitude of
standing out against any reservations what
soever, he avowedly opposed the only reserva
tions with which it is possible to carry the
Treaty to adoption; and not once did he inti
mate just what reservations he would con
sider acceptable. Thus his position became
virtually the same as that of the Bitter-End-
No wonder he found the Georgia rank
and file unresponsive to such a plea, and un
willing to reject a good and faithful servant
of their own. to follow such a will-o’-the-wisp,
i ' While the Attorney General was absorbing
the truth of this situation and harking to the
ever wilder volleys of abuse which his feud
ist retinue turned upon the senior Senator,
there came the terrible, the tearful, the fate
ful news from Michigan. In the pivotal pri
mary to whose outcome he had expected to
point his Georgia audiences as evidence of his
real candidacy and his real propscet of figur
ing before the San Francisco convention; the
primary into which he had poured aggres
sive energy and eloquence, not to speak of
more material contributions; the primary
which he was supposed to have to himself,
the others being all involuntary candidates
and requesting their friends not to campaign

ceiving barely more than ten per cent of the
popular vote. Obviously it was time for Mr.
Palmer to return to Washington. Obviously
his plans for the Presidential nomination were
grievously punctured. Moreover, the cry from
Macondonia had turned out to be a call to
Donnybrook fair. The Quixotic adventure was
over. Nevertheless, we w-ere all delighted to
have Mr. Palmer in Georgia—none more so
than the supporters of the senior Senator.
The Three Essentials.
“There are just three things,” remarks the
Beaufort Gazette, “which are mandatory in
the development of a country or a section of
a country—good roads, good schools and
good markets.”
Experience abundantly bears out this
statement. Especially is it noticeable in the
South today that the most prosperous and
progressive regions are those which are do
ing most for the improvement of their high
ways, their schools and their markets. Nor
is the reason fa rto seek, for upon these
great arteries of service depend the v’gor
of all economic and social life. Without
good roads a people cannot buy and sell,
nor visit and co-operate as their best inter
ests require; they cannot be the producers
or the merchants or the neighbors they
should be; they cannot sustain their schools
or churches or any other constructive insti
tutions as they ought. Equally true it is
that without adequate markets the vital
needs and opportunities of agriculture will
suffer, along with those of commerce. As
for good schools, it is evident to any dis
cerning eye that where they are lacking, ma
terial prosperity cannot be gained in sub
stantial and permanent measure, and even
if it could, would not be worth having.
CULTIVATE SIMPLICITY
By H. Addington Bruce
IT is futile to wish, as many do, for a return
of the easy-going, leisurely life of half a
century ago. The pressure of an increas
ingly complex civilization has necessarily made
life more strenuous and must continue to do
so, especially for city dwellers.
But it is not futile to wish for and to urge
an abatement of the strain of living by cultiva
tion of simplicity in personal tastes, habits,
standards and ideals.
Conditions may compel people to stress
themselves severely in the struggle for a live
lihood. They certainly do not compel over
stress outside of business hours. They do not
compel extravagance of expenditures, social
rivalry, feverish chasing after entertainment.
Which is what we behold in every stratum
of society. Whirling dervishes waste energy
no more recklessly and absurdly than hundreds
of thousands of our people.
One and all, these misguided folk lash them
selves everlastingly in senseless competition for
material pleasures ai.. satisfactions.
One and all, they are miserable if they can
not ape their neighbors in show and osten
tation. The costly game holds them captive
with a strange fascination.
They must have automobiles because other
people have them. They must wear expensive
clothes, eat expensive foods, because other peo
ple do. Above. all things they abhor the in
expensive.
When other people flock to winter resort,
to summer resort, thither they must flock, too.
Or if they cannot get away from their work
they must at least rush nightly to theater,
cabaret and dance hall, to see others in all their
finery and themselves to be see .
The home becomes little more than a sleep
ing place. Books are left unread. Conversation
is an art unknown.
And because quietude, repose, real relaxa
tion must be had in some degree if health is
to be maintained, these devotees of the ab
normally intense suffer from varied ills.
They help to swell the ever-rfsing tide of
premature deaths from apoplexy, from heart
disease, from other dise .ses of organic degen
eration.
They help to crowd the hospitals for the
mentally sick. They keep the specialist in
nervous troubles busy.
At best they confess themselves tormented
by a puzzling uneasiness and discontent. Yet
the uneasiness and discontent—as the apoplex
ies, heart failures, mental and nervous break
downs —are entirely of their own making. They
are the penalty of needless overstress, of re
fusal to cultivate simplicity, of insistence on
spending one’s hours of leisure in a mad hub
bub outside the home.
“We need a “Back-to-the-Home” campaign
as much as we need anything else in these
troublous times. Home life, quiet, simple home
life, with neighborly visits back and forth, books
and music, self-refreshing meditation, is the
remedy of remedies for our reeling world.
And unless the joys of home life are once
more appreciated and abundantly known it is
safe to predict that the world will reel more
and more impotently to disaster.

GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD
By Dr. Frank Crane
The world moves so fast it is hard to keep
up with it.
And the United States moves faster than
the world.
As Andrew Carnegie put it, the nations
of the Old World creep forward at a snail’s
pace, the Western Republic rushes past with
the speed of an express train.
And the nose of progress is New York
City. It is the prow of the Ship of State,
which with a bone in its teeth, sails ahead
into the sea of the future.
We were brought up on the idea that Lon
don is the greatest city in the world. It’s so
no ’more. The Western metropopolis has
outdistanced it.
New York is the largest centre of popula
tion on the globe.
Even four years ago five boroughs of New
York City contained 5,518,752 inhabitants,
while the 28 boroughs of London under one
city government had a population of but
4,517,172.
It is not only larger but it is growing
faster. It is the healthiest of cities.
Although some one dies in New York City
every seven minutes, a baby is born every
three minutes.
Three hundred and ninety people are add
ed to the population every day by new ar
rivals.
Every three months there is added to the
city enough people to make another city
as large as New York was at the begin
ning of the nineteenth century.
While London doubles its population every
thirty years, New York doubles every
eighteen years.
New York is a concern that does a larger
business ’han any other corporation extant.
It requires a cash balance of thirty million
dollars.
New York is the wealthiest spot on earth,
its assessed value is greater than all of the
United States west of the Mississippi.
Its income exceeds that of twenty states
combined.
One American in every nineteen lives in
New York.
One-tenth of all the products manufactur
ed in the country is made in New York.
The assessed tax valuation of New York is
almost double that of London.
New York has three times as many hotels
as London.
And twice as many theaters.
The bank clearings of New York are near
ly fifteen billion dollars a year larger than
London’s.
These items I gather from a recent news
paper clipping.

CURRENT EVENTS OF
INTEREST
Should a stranger enter the little mining
camp at Johnsville, Pluumas county, Cal-, on
Monday of a summer season, that which first
attracts his attention is not the big stamp
mill, nor any of the scenery of the camp, but
the clotheslines. They are a unique feature
of the landscape, and indicate not only the
depth of the winter’s snowfall but the in
ventive turn of mind of the housewives in
the homes perched on the side of the moun
tain.
City dwellers are accustomed to the net
work of lines stretched on the flat roofs of
apartments and tenement houses; country
folk never cast a second glance at a backyard
wherein are ordinary clotheslines or those
affixed to revolving standards. But when one
first sees the line*, a-flutter with a week’s
wash, extending from a back porch of a
Johnsville house to the top of an extremely
tall pine tree anywhere from 50 to 100 feet
distance, one’s curiosity is quite naturally
piqued.
No one in the mining camp seems to know
exactly who was the originator of this clever
scheme, but all the housewives will tell
you what a splendid thing it is; for in the
winter the snow falls to a depth of twenty
feet, and in some rare years as deep as forty
feet, and the winds drift it ever higher. Con
sequently, an ordinary outside clothesline
would be buried out of sight and use be
neath the heavy fall of snow; but wash day
comes around just as regularly during the
winter season, and to meet the problem of
drying clothes some ingenious person devised
the scheme of attaching a pulley to a pine
tree which thrust its crown above the highest
recorded snowfall. This was easily accom
plished by skiing over the frozen crust of the
snow. The other end of the rope was at
tached to a second pulley fastened to the
back porch of the house. And when the
practical side of this scheme was observed,
all the housewives of Johnsville who had
a tall tree growing within reach of their
back porch followed suit, and Monday’s wash
quickly strung up and sent fluttering out over
the high-piled snow.
Men discharged from the army who re
enlist the next day for a period of three
years for assignment to an organization at
the station at which they are discharged
or for special service outside continental
United States may be granted three months’
furlough.
Men who re-enlist for a period of three
years for general assignment or for assign
ment to organizations other than at stations
at which discharged may be granted two
months’ furlough.
This announcement was made at Wash
ington by Secretary of War Baker. Sol
diers will become eligible for furlough im
mediately upon re-enlistment. In cases of
men re-enlisting for service at a station
other than the one at which discharged
furlough may be granted if desired by the
soldier when he joins his new station.
Signorina Italia Anita Garibaldi, grand
daughter of the Italian patriot, who is tour
ing this country in an endeavor to observe
American conditions and customs and to pro
mote understanding between this country
and Italy, is stopping at the Cosmopolitan
Club, 133 East Fortieth street, New York,
after more than a month in New England.
She has plans for lectures all over the United
States, it is stated. All the important cities
of the north and south and west.
Signora Garibaldi speaks enthusiastically
of her experiences and treatment so far, and
deplores only the fact that so many persons
she has met are depressed by the confusion
of our foreign relations.
Voodoo rites, with all the grewsome fea
tures that are part of the original African
ceremony, are being performed in Haiti.
The existence of voodoo worship there has
been established by the Haitian survey of the
Interchurch World Movement. Interchurch
investigators report that the attempt of
Americans and Europeans in Haiti to break
U P this practice has not yet been successful.
The rites are administered by a native
priest or what would be called in Africa a
“witch doctor.’ A child is sometimes sacri
ficed, its heart being taken out, and the par
ticipants drinking of its blood. The more
modern from of the ceremony substitutes a
goat for a child. Sometimes the child is used
until the moment of the supreme sacrifice ar
rives, when the goat is substituted.
Canada and Argentina may soon prove se
rious competitors of the United States in the
Dairy industry, Government officials believe.
The industry in both countries is in its in
fancy, yet Canada is producing 70 per cent
as much cheese and 12 per cent as much but
ter as the United States, while Argentina is
producing 18 per cent as much cheese and 7
per cent as much butter.
Foundation of national museum of music
in which could be places all the valuable
musical works of Spain, is demanded in an
editorial printed in El Dia These works, are
at present stored in various cathedrals and
churches, and some of them which date back
to the fifteenth century, are now in danger of
destruction from neglect or accident.
Mrs. Lillie E. Wilkinson, who had the dis
tinction of making famous the part of
“Topsy” in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” died in
Worcester, Mass.," recently, at the age of 79.
She was a native of England and up to the
time of her retirement from the stage
thirty-eight years ago, she played with sev
eral famous actors, including Edwin Booth
and she was at the head of her own com
pany in East Lynne. While she was not the
original “Topsy,” she developed the part
until it was one of the principal features
of the play.
All restrictions for bunkering qf for
eign ships at Atlantic- ports were lifted
recently by order of the Tidewater Coal
Exchange, which succeeded the Director
General of Railroads in administration of
fuel regulations, it was announced offi
cially in New York, a few days ago Ex
port of cargo coal to foreign and insular
ports must still be authorized by permits
from the Exchange, it was stated by J
W. Howe, commissioner. The order, ef
fective now, will continue in force until
April 30 unless rescended.
According to a dispatch from Copenhagen,
it is officially announced that the British
delegation has concluded its negotiations
with the Russian Soviet representatives re
specting trade relations between Great
Britaian and Russia. There is good pros
pect, it is added, of an early agreement be
ing leached for the establishment of trade
with Russia.
According to a dispatch from Madrid, Cap
tain Martorell and Lieutenant Cano, two of
the best known Spanish aviators, were killed
recently when their airplane fell from a
height of fifty yards to the roof of the air
drome.
According to information received from
Fiume, it is understood that Gabriele d’An
nunzio denied reports of a projected move

the railroad leading to Trieste and Lubina.
“No expedition has been planned by us since
the expedition to Zara,” d’Annunzio said.

DOROTHY DIX’S TALK ON
The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer
BY DOROTHY DIX
Sometimes i go down to the
poorest part of the city and
see the old women, the very
flotsam and jetsam of life,
that misfortune has flung upon Its
dirty pavements. Often these women
are staggering along under great
loads of sweat-shop work, too feeble
for their strength to bear, or else
their backs are bowed under loads
of wood that they have gathered
on the street, and that they are
carrying home with which to make
a fire to try to warm their cold
old blood.
Long years of toil, and hardship,
and privation have robbed these
women of almost every semblance
of femininity. Their shoulders are
stooped; their hands are knotted
and gnarled; their wrinkled faces
are parched by sun and wind until
they look like leather; their eyes
are faded; their hair, thin and
grizzled, blows like witch locks
around their faces; they mumble
with toothless gums and sunken
mouths; their clothes are ragged
and dirty. Sometimes they have even
tried to forget their misery in drink
and ribald songs and blasphemous
curses issue from their lips.
It is hard to realize that such an
old crone as one of these was ever
a woman, that she was ever young
and pretty, and soft and dimpled.
It is hard to realize that she ever
loved or was loved; that anybody
ever waited in the dusk to kiss
those faded lips, that any man’s
hand ever caressed that frowsy hair;
that a babe ever nestled on that
withered breast; that such a one
ever had part in the great lot of
womanhood.
Here is old age robbed of its re
ward, without the warm fireside and
the easy chair which the work of a
lifetime should have secured it;

without the protection and love of
children that was her due as the
price of her motherhood. It is old
age with no safe snug harbor in
which to drop anchor at the end
of the stormy voyage of life, and
as I look at it, I thank God that
such an old age never came to my
mother, and I pray Him that it may
never come to me.
Sometimes I go to the opera and
I see another old woman sitting in
her velvet lined box.
She is fat, and prosperous, and
over-fed to the point of repletion
and her superabundant flesh Is laced
into a straight front corset that Is
an instrument of torture that es
says in vain to give her portly,
middle age the slender figure of six
teen. On her red and pudgy neck and
arms is plastered a fortune in jew
els. Her hair is dyed a wonderful
warm young auburn. Her cheeks are
painted; her eyes brightened with
belladonna; her decollette dress is
a fairy robe made of shimmering
silk, and lace and embroidery.
From head to foot she is a work
of art on whom masseurs, mani
cures, complexion specialists, hair
dressers, corsetieres and costumers
have expended their choicest skill.
All that money and human in
genuity can do to ward off age and
conceal its ravages has been done
and as she sits in her box she
smirks, and smiles, and flirts and
ogles, and apes the manners and
graces of girls young enough to be
her granddaughters.
Parasitic young men who like to
ride in her automobiles and eat her
dinners, and put up at her country
places, lean over her bare shoulders
and whisper insulting love talk to
her, and befool her with lying com

with delight, and goes on playing

at a masquerade of being young
that deceives no one but herself.
For there is the gray pallor of
age that no paint can hide, the
sagging muscles and pendulous
cheeks that no masseur can rub
away, the tired old eyes that have
seen too much; the old weary face
that looks all the older under its
gayly dyed hair. And it is all so
piteous, the rich old woman trying
to be young, clinging to a shadow
of beauty after the substance is
gone.
Hers is an old age frivolous, sil
ly, vain and ridiculous. It is an
old age without dignity, without
honor, without sweetness, and as I
see it I thank God that my moth
er knew no such old age as that,
and I pray Him that I may never
know such an old age when my
time comes.
Sometimes I go to a quiet coun
try town and. there I see another
old woman. Her figure is still
straight with the look of a victo
rious soldier about it. Her hands
strong, firm and capable, for she
has done much work in her life,
lie folded at rest now in her lap.
Her face calm and serene is more
beautiful than any girl’s because
life has etched on it the story of
a noble experience. Her «yes are
lovely, full of drca,?r.« and memories,
and her mouffi is something to be
remembered because her smile is
like a benediction.
Her hair, snow white, is banded
away under a lace cap, and a lace
kerchief is folded primly across her
old woman’s dress of black silk
that she has worn so long, made
in that self-same fashion, that
has become a part of herself, and
it would seem a sacrilege to change
its form.
Little children play about this
old woman’s feet and creep instinct
ively to the arms that have nestled
so many babies that they curve'of
themselves into a cradle. Young
girls whisper to her their love se
crets because in her heart the foun
tain of romance has never run dry.
Her sons and daughters come to her
as to an oracle, and all who are
weary and heavy laden with sor
rows, lay their burdens down s’
her chair and go away sustained and
For More Than Forty Years
Cotton Growers have known that
POTASH PAYS
More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts
had been imported and used in the United
States in the 20 years previous to January,
1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,-
700 Tons consisted of
KAINIT
which the cotton grower knew was both a plant
food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with
it came also 1,312,400 Tons of
20 per cent
MANURE SALT
which has the same effects on Cotton, but which was
used mainly in mixed fertilizers.
Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have
been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and
high freight rates make it more desirable to ship
Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF
< ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con
tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash.
MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing
on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will
give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds
of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure
Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161
pounds of Kainit.
MANURE SALT has been coming forward in
considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can
not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get
Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big
Cotton Crop.
Muriate of Potash
50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward
a l so , —loo pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400
pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt.
These are the three
Standard GERMAN Potash Salts
that were always used in making cotton fertilizers
and have been used for all these years with great
profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE
CROP.
The supply is not at present as large as in former
years, but there is enough to greatly increase the
Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the
necessary effort to get it for you.

the wisdom of experience; her heart
that has suffered and rejoiced so
much, is so overflowing with com
prehending sympathy, her eyes that
are so near to the end of this .world
are so touched with the prophetic
vision of the world to be.
Hers is an old age more beauti

Him that I, too, may know such an

So Tho’ You’re Near to Wle
(A LOVE SONG)
BY EDMUND VANCE COOMS
Lost were the years, dear, before we
ever met,
Last years and past years I
shall regret,
For the night may be bright, while
the moon is ashine,
But I never knew the sunlight, till
your eyes met mine.
So tho’ you’re dear to me,
So tho’ you’re near to me,
Sometimes there comes a forebod
ing and fear to me,
Fear of the weariness,
Fear of the dreariness.
Drowning the light in the light of
its teariness.
Out of the shadow of the years be
fore we met
Creeps forth the shadow of the
darkness coming yet,.
When one shall be gone and the oth
er shall remain
And the love-light be blinded by the
tears of rain.
So tho’ you’re dear to me,
So tho’ you’re near to me,
Sometimes there cewwes a forebod\
ing and fear to me;
Tears get the start of me,
Sprung from the heart of me,
Lest you no longer be partner ana
part of me.
