The Men, the Issues, thehTinner,
THE Georgia voter will go to the polls
today with a wish first of all
to do -what is best for his party, his
State and his country. He is interested in can
didates primarily for the principles which
they represent and for the means which they
afford of advancing certain important inter
ests and ideas. He will ask himself according
ly who of the contestants in the primary is
best qualified, by virtue of ability and under
standing of the urgent issues of the day, to
serve those ends which loyal Democrats and
loyal Americans have so deeply at heart?
Which policies are the more conducive to
the early restoration of an honorable and
well-grounded peace, those advocated by
Senator Hoke Smith or those of Hon. A.
Mitchell Palmer? Which attitude toward
the League covenant is the more consistent
with American ideals, and which is the more
likely to bring actually to pass the estab
lishment of a peace-conserving company of
nations in which the United States will play
a free-hearted and effective part—that of
Senator Smith or of Mr. Palmer? As be
tween these two, moreover, who has a like
lier chance of being nominated at the San
Francisco convention, and, if nominated, the
better chance of being elected—the Georgian
or the Pennsylvanian? These are the press
ing questions which the voter is called upon
to adjudge and which he earnestly wishes to
decide for the good of Democracy and Amer
ica, and to the glory of Georgia and the
South.
As to the treaty and the League covenant,
Senator Smith’s attitude has an obvious ad
vantage over Mr. Palmer’s, at least in the
eyes of those who recognize the need, the
imperative need, of a speedy return to normal
conditions and who entertain practical hopes
of America’s entering a peace league. “Prac
tical” hopes, we say. There are those who
are committed unalterably to one particular
plan of a League of Nations; they will
have that or none. While condemning the
proposed modifications, they submit no com
promise of their own, and choose to leave
our international relations in indefinite and
e fH° US s " s P?. nse rather than come to terms
with those holding a different opinion Now
if one prefers shadow to substance, if one
considers a League of Nations on paper of
more worth to the cause of concord and hu
manity than a League of Nations in practice
then he can consistently support Mr. Palmer’s
policy and vote for him in the coming pri
mary. But no believer in the League purpose
and principle, who stands upon real rather
than Utopian ground, can do so. For it is
an utterly impracticable policy which Mr. Pal
mer i epresents and on which he is seeking
the Democratic nomination. No one asserts
no one imagines that the personnel of the
Senate, the majority of whose members insist
upon reservations, can be so changed within
the next eleven months or the next two years
as to make possible the ratification of the
present treaty without reservations. Sup
pose, then (if such a thing be supposable)
that we could elect a President upon a plat
form of “no reservations,” what would it ad
vantage us, with the Senate still adamant
against that view? Wherein would we be
nearer peace and normality and international
co-working in 1921 than in the confused and
troublous present, by merely swapping one
deadlock for another.
Grant for argument’s sake that the cove
nant which President Wilson brought back
from Paris and which Mr. > Palmer insists
should stand virtually unmodified, is perfect.
Should we, therefore, reject all other plans
simply because we cannot put this one into
effect? It was not in this spirit that the
American Federation was formed or the great
Constitution under which we have gone pros
perously forward was adopted. Not in this
spirit has any hope of man’s political better
ment been carried a jot toward fulfillment.
Call some of the reservations required by the
Senate “nullifying,” if you will. la it not better
to lose certain equipment and cabin furni
ture than to wreck the whole ship by insist
ing that they be kept aboard? The nations
with whom we won the war and who would
be our associates in the League evidently do
not consider the Senate reservations destruc
tive of the League’s vitality and serviceable
ness. They have indicated beyond doubt that
they stand ready to accede to the proposed
changes touching Article Ten and other im
portant sections. Is it reasonable, then, is
it right, is it fair to America and to humanity
to hold out unyieldingly for just the plan
which the President wants, when this serves
only to delay the healing processes of peace
and to thwart the workable hopes of an in
ternational league? The Journal can easily
see how “Bitter-Enders” like Reed and Borah
—those whose aim is to ditch the Treaty in
its entirety—derive satisfaction from that
uncompromising stand. But we cannot see
how one who recognizes any good in the
League idea and who has sensed even dimly
the peril of prolonging'our present unsettled
state, can feel otherwise than hostile toward
the irreconcilable and utterly fruitless policy
to which Mr. Palmer is committed.
Let that policy of proud willfulness be con
tinued, and we shall not only lose our hope
of a League of Nations, but in all likelihood
find ourselves in the extreme of national and
THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
international embarrassment. It is of the
utmost, importance, therefore, that every
Georgian who wishes the present cleared of
its dangerous confusion and the years ahead
safeguarded by a League for conserving peace,
should vote for Senator Hoke Smith on April
the twentieth. His candidacy represents the
reverse of Mr. Palmer’s immoderate and real
ly obstructive position. Senator Smith does
not stand for the covenant in precisely the
form in which it came from Europe; he be
lieves that certain reservations are essential
to American interests and rights. But he
does stand for a covenant that will go a long
way toward preventing wars and be, indeed,
a greater stride for world harmony than was
hitherto proposed or dreamed of. A vote
for him is a vote for speedy and well-but
tressed peace. A vote for Mr. Palmer is a
vote for prolonged uncertainty and barren
strife.
The fact is, of course, Mr. Palmer is not
seriously a candidate for the Presidential
nomination. If his part in the Georgia pri
mary is motived by anything beyond the de
signs of a factional clique, it is merely a
feeler of popular sentiment. Now, its im
portance in this connection should not be
overlooked; for by declaring emphatically at
this juncture against the wretchedly advised
policy -which Mr. Palmer represents, the
Democrats of Georgia will exert a salu
tary and perhaps determining influence on the
party’s and the nation’s affairs. Indeed, it
may be taken for granted that his decisive
defeat in Tuesday’s primary will mark the
beginning of the end of that unyielding stand
against unavoidable reservations, which
blocks the way to peace and readjustment.
But no one who has taken account of political
conditions and developments in the country
at large faintly imagines Mr. Palmer’s being
nominated for President, much less elected.
The outcome of the recent Michigan Demo
cratic primary was of itself enough to ex
tinguish any such chance as his promoters
were trying to fan into flame. With no one
aggressively opposing him and with the
State’s National Committeeman swinging the
party machine into his service, he ran fifth
and hindmost, receiving scarcely more than
one of every ten votes cast. Mr. Hoover, Mr.
McAdoo, Mr. Bryan and Governor Edwards
all far outdistanced him, although they had
asked their friends not to consider them
really in the contest and although Mr. Pal
mer had made the most vigorous campaign
of which he and the resourceful politicians
behind him were capable. It is commonly
known, moreover, that he is not supported
by the Democracy of his own State, let alone
that of other regions; and it is commonly
conceded that the Democratic party would no
more appropriately choose a standard beaiei
from such a Gibraltar of Republicanism as
Pennsylvania than the Republican party
would from Texas or Mississippi.
Georgia’s senior Senator, on the contrary,
hailing from the heart of the unswervingly
Democratic South and holding a far more dis
tinguished and substantial record than that
of any other proposed nominee on either side,
is a real candidate with a real cause. In his
own State he represents political progress
and fair play. On national issues he repre
sents the country’s best-balanced and surest
visioned‘thought. His services in behalf of
education have carried his name into every
schoolhouse on the continent. His services
in behalf of agriculture have made him known
in every countryside from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. His truly historic contribution to the
upbuilding of the Far West, when he was
Secretary of the Interior, left a lasting im
press upon the mind and heart of that region.
His effective fight to protect the joint inter
ests of the Middle West and the South against
grave injury by Northern shipping monopo
lists, in the matter of rates to our ports, has
won warmest esteem in that great industrial
;erritory between the Ohio and the Mississippi.
His dependable judgment on difficult eco
nomic questions, as evidenced in his distinc
tive part in the shaping of such legislation
as the Banking and Currency act, commends
him to the confidence of all legitimate busi
ness, big and little alike. His zealous and
efficient labors in the work of winning the
war, both as a member of the Military Af
fairs and other vitally important committees
and also as a floor champion of all the great
war measures, commend him—a thousand
times commend him —to every patriot’s grat
itude. Truly a national figure he is, a Dem
ocrat of Democrats, an American of Amer
icans. <
“I am supporting Senator Hoke Smith in
this campaign,” writes Vice President Weaver,
of the Georgia Farmers’ Union, “because I
regard him as the ablest representative the
agricultural interests ever had in Washing
ton; because I think the time has come when
the Democratic South, which furnishes the
votes to elect Democratic Presidents, should
begin to furnish the Presidential nominees;
and because he is qualified in every respect,
by ability and experience, to serve as Presi
dent of the United States. Assuredly the time
has come when this cradle land of Democracy,
whose never-failing loyalty is the party’s very
heart and sinew, deserves recognition in hon
ors as well. This is not only the just but
also the sensible view, particularly when the
South, and the Empire State of the South,
affords so highly available a candidate as Sen
ator Hoke Smith.
A petty group of political feudists have
been reviling him with viciousness and falsity
that knew no bounds. They have attributed to
him utterances which he never made and have
condemned him for sentiments which they
themselves are on record as having voiced.
They have tried to distort and belittle his
magnificent record of ,var service, when they
themselves, ir. instances well known, hung
cravenly back while all important issues were
in the balance. They have maligned him be
cause he has dared think for himself. They
have slandered him because he has pioved
courageous. But they can never take away
one iota of ail that he has done for his com
monwealth and his country. v
There his record stands,'written large in
years of splendid labor, in deeds of impel ish
able worth This Georgian who never failed
his people and never fumbled a trust, who is
recognized the nation over as one of the great
figures of the hour and whose views on urgent
issues commend him to the soundest thought
of the time —shall not his fellow citizens of
his own beloved State stand by him in Tues
day’s primary against an imported and impos
sible candidate from Pennsylvania? The
Journal knows that in this contest Senator
Smith deserves to win. We earnestly HOPE
that he will win. We confidently BELIEVE
that he will win.
True Samaritans.
Some two weeks hgo forty houses in Mel
rose Park, one of Chicago's suburbs, were
destroyed by a tornado. Forty families were
left homeless. Scores of men, women and
children were without shelter. The people of
Chicago had given generously of money and
clothing and food to alleviate the distress, but
still the families were homeless.
The organized carpenters of the Chicago dis
trict came to their rescue. They rose nobly
to the occasion. Fifteen hundred of them
volunteered their services last Sunday to re
build the homes that were destroyed by the
tornado. They gave up their day of rest,
and they did it cheerfully.
The carpenters were organized in squads
of 100 men each, and they performed a mar
vellous lot of work. Houses were recon
structed in a hurry. One house, whose
family was without shelter, was re
built, from the ground up, in seven hours
and fifteen minutes. Before the day was
over half the houses had been rebulit, and
the carpenters have announced that on the
succeeding Sundays they will complete the
work of reconstruction without cost to the
home-owners.
CURRENT EVENTS OF
INTEREST
According to Article 131 of the Peace
Treaty, Germany/is ordered to surrender
certain valuable observation astromical in
struments, which she removed from Peking
during the Boxer rebellion in 1900. Not
only is she to restore them to their right
ful owners, but she is to defray all expenses
incurred in removing the instruments from
Potsdam, transferring them to Peking and
setting them up in the observatory there.
This is an exceedingly interesting bit of his
tory, and from 1900 up to the present day
the fate of these instruments has been much
discussed in China, Germany, France, Amer
ica, and England, says the Christian Science
Monitor.
The Peking observatory is mentioned by
Marco Polo, and the date of its construction,
in the southeastern corner of the Tartar
city, is generally ascribed to the reign of
Kublai Khan, founder of the Mongol dynas
ty, in 1279 A. D.
The original instruments were: (1) An
armillary sphere; (2) a transit instru
ment: (3) a brass globe; (4) a sector,
which, according to some of the best-known
writers, was constructed under the Yuen, or
Mongol dynasty.
In 1673 six new instruments were made
by order of the then Emperor, Kang-he, un
der the superintendence of a missionary and
the official astronomer, to replace the old
instruments. These consisted of (1) a zo
diacal sphere; (2) equinoctial sphere; (3)
azimuthal horizon; (4) sextant; (5) alti
tude instruments; (6) celestial globe.
Some figures concerning the American
farmer are given by Senator Arthur Capper,
of Kansas, in an article headed “The Farm
er’s Place in American Business,” contrib
uted to the current issue of The Journal of
the American Bankers’ association.
“The average buying power of the Ameri
can farmer,” he writes, “has increased dur
ing the last four years from $1,600 to $3,-
400 a year, over 100 per cent, whereas the
average buying power of the city man still
remains, approximately, at S9OO a year.
“Two-thirds of all farmers in America own
their own homes. Contrast this with the
knowledge that two-thirds of all city dwell
ers rent and do not own their homes. Farm
ing is a profession, and despite many excep
tions to the rule, a profession which is
passed from father to son through many
generations; in other words, there is a per
manency both about the profession itself and
about the men who follow it.”
President Wilson’s health is showing ex
ceedingly slow but gradual improvement, it
was explained by persons close to the White
House who have been kept busy denying re
ports that he has suffered another break
down. There was slight danger, they said, of
any setback, provided the president continued
the course of rest and quiet that he had been
following-
Where the stories started that the presi
dent had suffered a setback nobody knows,
but apparently they vrere widespread. The
inquiries have reached the White House from
the correspondents of newspapers in a great
many cities, which would indicate that the
reports emanated from a central point, per
haps sent over some private telegraph wires.
To all these rumors the officials made em
phatic denial to check them if possible. Mr.
Wilson many papers each day, and, al
though he has not visited the executive offices
yet, be is able to accomplish a great deal in
his room.
According to a message received from San
Diego, Cal., the Prince of Wales arrived off
Point Loma aboard the cruiser Renown, which
is carrying him to the Antipodes.
The prince and members of his party are
to be guests of San Diego for two days. A
committee of citizens and prominent British
residents were taken to the Renown aboard
a submarine chaser to be received by the
prince. Luncheon was served aboard the New
Mexico, Pice Admiral Williams, of the Pacific
fleet, presiding, in the absence of Admiral
Hugh Rodman. After luncheon the prince
and his party came ashore for an extended
program.
IF YOU NEED REST
By H. Addington Bruce
(Copyright, 1920, by The Associated News
papers.)
YOU have gone to your doctor com
plaining of nervous symptoms. You
tell him a sad story of insomnia, in
digestion, strange aches and pains, inability
to concentrate on your work.
Examining you, he can find nothing organ
ically wrong. Questioning you, he* does find
that you have not merely been working hard
for months, perhaps years but also have
been worrying hard about your work.
Emphatically he tells you that what you
need above everything else is rest.
“Take a holiday,” he prescribes, “and a
change of scene. Forget all about your work
for a time. In a month, perhaps sooner,
you’ll feel a new man ”
This is excellent advice—provided you can
afford to take it. But suppose you cannot?
Suppose circumstances are such that you
cannot afford to leave your work for more
than a few days, if at all. Does this mean
that you are doomed to suffer an outright
nervous collapse? Does it mean that you
are quite without hope of relief?
Not necessarily.
Take stock of your living habits. Observe,
in especial, how you spend your time when
away from work. Ask yourself, in fact, if
you ever really are away from work, so far
as your mind is concerned.
The likelihood is you will have to answer
this question in the negative.
The further likelihood is you will have
to admit that the reason you never get away
from work is that you have no vital play in
terests.
When you are at leisure you actually are
at much of a loss how to employ your time.
Perhaps you go to the theater a good deal,
but you are not truly interested in the thea
ter. Perhaps you play cards or billiards or
bowl, but with no genuine enthuiasm for
any of these amusements.
It may even be that you consider yourself
“a great reader.” You take several news
papers and magazines; you make it a point
to buy and read the latest novels.
But all the while, honest self-analysis in
forms you, you are so little interested in
what you read that thoughts of your work
continually intrude.
In other words, because you are keenly
interested in nothing outside your work you
give no rest whatever to the brain cells that
have to busy themselves with your work.
Your essential need is not to rest your
whole organism by complete mental and
physical inactivity, but to rear the particular
brain cells by activeily turning your mind
to other employment outside business hours.
As my friend, Dr. J. Madison Taylor, has ad
mirably phrased it:
“A hundred means are available for any
one to secure rest by substitution of inter
ests before breaking into one’s progress. A
vacation can be had in a thousand excellent
ways while still on the job.
“Any one who gives his mind to it can al
ways do two things in one and the same
day. He can do all he is capable of doing in
his chosen occupation, and he can become
skilful in some substitute play or occupation
or hobby.
QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES
“Now, Alice,” said Mrs. Bounce to
her new maid of all work, “while
I’m out just pare the potatoes and
get them ready. I shall not be long.”
About an hour later Mrs. Bounce
came back from her shopping expe
dition, bringing the meat that was
destined to accompany the potatoes
to the dinner table. Alice was calm
ly seated on the floor, surrounded by
a goodly collection of the delectable
tubers.
“Good gracious!” exclaimed the
horrified mistress, “what are you
doing?"
“Doin’, ma’am?” replied the maid.
“Doin’ what ye told me, indeed. I’ve
done the best I could, too.”
“Then she pointed, to the potatoes.
“I’ve paired off all of ’em ma’am,”
she mumbled, but try as I will, I
can’t find a mate for this little fel
low.”
Chubson was very keen on his
newly purchased farm and wanted to
increase his stock. So he bought
some pigs before his new sty was
quite ready
He went to a neighbor and asked
him to allow the pigs to be put in
the latter’s sty.
“I’ve bought two thowth and
pigth,” he explained.
The neighbor wasn’t used to Chub
son’s lisp, and scratched his head.
“Two thousand pigs!” he mutter
ed. “Why, my sty will only hold
half a dozen!”
“You don’t understand!” said Club
son, shortly. “I didn’t thay two
thouthand pigth, but two thowth and
two pigth!”
“I understand all right,” replied
the other, “but you must be crazy.”
“I’ll thay it again!” yelled Chub
son, in a rage. “I didn’t thay two
thouthand pigs, but thowth an two
pigth!”
Little Julian has already decided
that he will be a doctor. In talking
over the matter one day his father
rather facetiously asked whether Ju
lian intended to adopt a special line,
inasmuch as that was the way to
make a lot of money in medicine.
“I think I shall,” replied Julian
quite gravely. “What do you think
of specializing In airplane accidents,
dad? There ought to be a great
future in that line.”

DOROTHY DIX’S TALK ON
Giving the Girl the Once Over as a Wife
BY DOROTHY DIX
The World's Highest Paid. Woman Writer
\ YOUNG man has written me a
/\ letter in which he says:
\ “The only thing that a man
knows about women is. that
he doesn’t know a single, solitary,
blooming thing about her. Now, I
wish to get married, and I will be
eternally grateful to you if you can
put me wise to any method by which
I can tell, on the safe side of the
altar, even approximately what sort
of a wife a girl is likely to make.”
Surely son, surely. The one really
clever thing that women have ever
done is to establish in the minds of
man the tradition that they are
creatures of mystery beyond his
fathoming. That has enabled the
fair sex to camouflage its arts and
its wiles, and to run in all sorts
of hocus-pocus stuff on poor unsus
pecting men.
For, you, see, man has been so
thoroughly convinced that woman is
a conundrum whose answer he can
never guess, anyway, that he never
tried to guess the riddle at all,
but goes it blindly and trusts to
luck, where she is concerned. Which
is all nonsense, for woman, in real
ity, is a simple creature that he
who runs may read, if he will.
To begin with, if the man who
is thinking of getting married would
pay more attention to what is in
the skull immediately under a. girl’s
hair than he does to the color of
it, and if he would take more no
tice of the size and shape of her
jaw bone than he does of her com
plexion, and if he would give more
time to observing whether her nos
trils are thin and quivering than he
does to whether her profile is class
ic or piquant, he would start off
with a very good tip as to the kind
of a wife he is likely to get if he
marries her.
For matrimony works no miracles.
It will not change a fool into a
wise woman, nor will it convert the
maiden with a square, bulldog chin
into a soft and yielding, clinging
vine who asks her husband what
he thinks she thinks, and whose
only desire in life is to flop on
some manly arm. Neither is the
maiden who is nervous and emo
tional by temperament apt to be

calmed and soothed by the stress
of matrimony, which is no rest
cure for any woman.
Aside, however, from the hints
conveyed by a careful study of the
lady’s physiognomy, there are va
rious points in the daily life and
conversation of a young woman that
a prospective benedict may consider
with profit to himself.
First, never marry a girl until
you have seen her in the bosom
of her family, and against her own
background. Any girl can look good
in a party dress, and be amiable
in company, especially in the com
pany of a young man whom she
is stalking in the husband hunt, But
when you see her at home you get
a real line on her.
It is desirable, of course, that
she know how to cook and run
a house, shall.escape much
trouble with your stomach, and large
bills to the butcher and baker, if
you pick out a girl for a wife who
is mother’s helper, and who has
learned how to broil a steak, and
make bread, and buy green gro
ceries at her family’s expense.
This is not absolutely necessary,
however, for any girl who can read
can take a cook book and learn how
to cook in six weeks, and she will
do it if she is sufficiently in love
with the man she marries. Some
times a girl who has never done
anything but manicure her finger
nails before marriage takes corns
on her hands working after mar
riage, and conversely, who has
spent her life in the kitchen comes
out of it on her wedding day per
manently, and can never be induced
to enter it again. You never can
tell, and domesticity is worth tak
ing a chance on, anyway.
The thing to observe is’ whether
the girl bosses her family or not,
for bossiness grows by what it
feeds on, and no tyrant was ever
cured of tyranny. Especially the
domestic tyrant, who is the meanest
and most grinding of all tyrants.
Notice well, then, if a girl’s
mother and father are afraid of
her, if they assume a deprecating
air in her presence, and if they say
that Sally won’t let us do this, and

Sally won’t let us do that, and Sally
wants us to move into another house,
and Sally has made us take all the
rocking chairs out of the parlor,
and Sally won’t let father smoke a
pipe any more. Also, do not let It
escape you hpw the little, brother
and sister act when Sally is around,
whether they scurry away at her
coming, or cling to her skirt.
You may be very sure that any
girl who has got her family ter
rorized will have a husband whose
hand shakes as he puts the key
in his door. You may be very cer
tain that any girl who can put it
over her parents, and her little
brothers and sisters, will have a hus
band so henpecked that he will say
“our pants.”
But if a girl doesn’t try to run
the house, and is just the light and
joy of it, if mother wants Sally al
ways at her right hand and father
hugs her up to him as he talks,
and the little brothers and sisters
adore her, grab her off, son, and
rush with her to the minister, for
she will make a wife who will be
pal, friend and companion, and not
one who must be obeyed.
Then observe how a girl dresses.
If she is arrayed like Solomon in
all his glory while the balance of
the family go shabby; if she is
dressed beyond her means, and her
father looks bent, and worn, and
anxious, pass her up son. She is
selfish and greedy, and she will
work you to death, even as she does
her father, for a wisp of chiffon.
Take note of how a girl acts
when you go to see her. If she
is never willing to stay at home
of an evening, if she always drags
you around to some place of amuse
ment, if she lays a heavy hand on
your pocketbook, beware. She is
pleasure mad. She has no resources
within herself. She considers nothing
but her own amusement, and she
will make the sort of a wife who
is never happy unless she is gadding
about somewhere, and who consid
ers that the chief good of a hus
band is to buy his wife fine clothes
and take her out to show them off.
But when you find a girl who
loves to camp under her own pink
shaded lamp, who dresses modestly
and likes modest pleasures, and who
can keep you entertained by talk
ing Intelligently and sympatheti
cally on any subject In which you
are interested, seek no farther. She
will make the kind of a wife with
whom you can spend the next forty
or fifty years in peace and comfort
by your own fineslde.
