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 far them —in this peculiarlj’ favorable and I o ran fifth and last, re- THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. 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. (Copyright, 1920, by the Associated Newspapers.) 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. Seme towV 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 ment north of Fiume for the capture of the railroad leading to Trieste and Lubina. “No expedition has been planned by us since the expedition to Zara,” d’Annunzio said. “There have been no desertions from out ranks and no incidents havq occurred ” 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.

I 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 pliments, and she bridles and beams with delight, and goes on playing SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1920. 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.

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.
