The Democratic Party s Opportunity to Win THE Democratic convention at San Fran cisco this week faces an inspiriting opportunity both for national service and for party success. It faces an epoch bui dened with pressing problems and a country eager for leadership. If Democracy will but show itself wise enough to interpret the is sues of the time and courageous enough to meet them, the decisive forces of American citizenship will muster to its support. Leadership of this character is now the more needful and the more expedient .because the Republican powers that be have fallen so egregiously short of a great party’s obliga tions. The Chicago convention, ruled as it was by backward-looking elements, produced a platform quite appropriate to the political doldrums of some thirty years ago, but as ill suited to these changeful and momentous days as a barnacled oyster boat would be for mid-ocean surges or the duties of a man-of war. As for the candidate, agreeable gen tleman though Senator Harding is, his stanchest promoters do not pretend that he is other than one of their party’s lesser lights, in no wise comparable to Root or Taft or Hughes; honest, good-natured, handsome and conservative —yes, very, very conserva tive—but chiefly notable for his acceptability to .politicians who take their law and gospel from Wall Street. In such policies there is no light for these troubled times, and in such puppetries no leadership. In vain does any great group or liberal interest of the people look to the Republican organization for guid ance or sympathy or assurance. It is Democracy’s privilege to answer these disappointed hopes and provide bread of where the party of Harding and Pen rose and Lodge offers but a stone. The obvious and only cue to the San Francisco convention is for a platform that will hearten the Liberals and for a candidate who will rally them. It is to them alone that De "mocracy can look for support in those doubt l ful and pivotal States where Presidential elections are won and lost. Moreover, it is to the Liberals of both parties, as distin guished from Radicals and Standpatters, that the country can look for a happy solution of Its present problems and for prosperity with peace. The best prop of the Bolshevist and the most dangerous fuse to war is he who fails to see that the world of today is not the world of Mark Hanna’s time nor the world of 1914. We must think forward and go forward, or we shall go down. We must recognize the fresh obligations of American government and American citizenship, must realize the larger duties which this republic owes the cause of international justice and peace, or we shall fail as citizens and fail as a nation. The Democratic convention will do well and wisely to the extent that it trans lates this principle into definite policies and pledges, not evading practical issues as the Republicans did, but grasping them resolute ly and with genuinely Democratic purpose. A convention imbued with this spirit can hardly err in its choice of a •candidate. The list of availables includes such achieving and dependable men as William G. McAdoo (in case he is not indeed self-eliminated), Gover nor Cox, of Ohio; Ambassador Davis, Secre tary Meredith and Senator Glass. But whether the nominee be one of these or some one now unconsidered, the party, acting true to itself and to the country, can take courage and go forward with the confidence of one that truly serves. The Growth and the F uture of Georgia s Food Industries THERE is appetizing food for thought in the announcement that Georgia has nine packing plants, sixteen velvet bean mills, fifty-seven canneries, one hundred and seventy-three flour and grist mills and one hundred and seventy-seven vegetable oil mills. These figures from Commissioner Stanley’s latest annual report of the State Department of Commerce and Labor bear witness to the growth of a peculiarly im portant and still pioneer field of our indus try. The Commonwealth’s prosperity in its fresher aspects and larger reaches depends mainly upon the encouragement of food pro duction. To the extent that Georgia becomes self-sustaining in cereals, meats and the basic vegetables, her agricultural wealth, which is the foundation of other kinds, will be de veloped and conserved. But an all important prerequisite to steady progress in such pro duction is means for marketing the output conveniently and profitably. Without these facilities the farmer will have scant induce ment to raise crops other than cotton; with them, there will be liberal assurance of di versified agriculture and its enrichment of the State’s whole economic system. Hence the significance of the increasing number of industrial plants through which food harvests can be marketed to the ad vantage of the grower and all others con cerned. The value of the cotton crop itself has been immensely enhanced by the utiliza tion of its food elements in cottonseed oil mills. In his pregnant sketch of the State’s industrial development Professor Joseph T. Derry, assistant commissioner of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor, points out :hat for the twelvemonth ended July 31, 1918, these mills expended upwards of fifty-six mil lion dollars for cotton seed and wages, and turned forth oil and by-products to the value of nearly sixty-five million dollars. Potentially more important are the indus tries having to do with food crops. Among the more recent of these, and especially val- THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. liable, is the potato curing plant and cannery —thanks to which, millions of bushels of sweet potatoes that hitherto would have spoiled or gone to waste or have been sacri ficed in a glutted market can be preserved and made to yield full value. The conse quent gains will bulk large in the State’s agri culture and business; for with soil and cli mate singularly well suited to growing the delectable and increasingly popular tuber, and with facilities for holding and market ing the crop evenly throughout the year, Georgia can make her sweet potato patches veritable mines of prosperity. It should be remembered, however, that the wealth-conserving, wealth-creating indus tries of this nature are still at their infant stage. Gratifying as it is that Georgia has attained third place among the swine-produc ing states since her packing house service was begun, careful observers remind us that her resources in this and kindred fields have scarcely been touched. Encouraging as it is to see the number of flour and grist mills grow to an average of more than one for every county, those who know best tell us that the State’s production of wheat and corn and other grains is but a meager fraction of what ! it can be and should be. The canneries have multiplied remarkably in recent years, and have greatly stimulated the raising of vege tables and fruits. But fortunes upon for tunes are yet to be made and saved through this industry. Here is a Commonwealth, the largest east of the Mississippi, having an .area as great as England and Wales together, blest with unexcelled riches of soil and sun, capable of producing virtually every root and Iqaf and fruit that goes to feed mankind, virtually every animal and harvest that dines or clothes him. Yet this empire of natural treas ure and opportunity now numbers its grain mills and packing plants and canneries by only tens and fifties! Time will come when they will be numbered by hundreds and by thousands. One Hundred Millions of Georgia Wealth THE startling yet conservative estimate comes from the State College of Agriculture that Georgia lost last year, through crop and animal wastes, the sum of one hundred million dollars. A fire or flood that destroyed so vast an amount of wealth would be deplored as an unfor gettable calamity. The loss is none the less serious because it happens to be distributed over twelve months and hundreds of farms; it is less sensational, but at last it comes home to every citizen and leaves poorer every interest of the Commonwealth. Six million five hundred thousand bushels of sweet potatoes, approximately half of the State’s total yield, spoiled for lack of suit able storage. And with the decay of those tubers, nine million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars sank to dust. The actual and potential loss on the eorgia corn crop is estimated at upwards of forty-five million “This statement,” the au thorities add, “may seem anomalous to many, but the fact is that we do not need to in crease our acreage to raise one hundred million bushels of corn instead of 69,890,- 000 as we did last year. By careful seed selection, by thorough preparation, cultiva tion and fertilization, by eradicating smut and other diseases, we can raise a much larger crop and save many millions of dol lars that annually go out of the State for corn to feed live stock and for human food.” To these losses add that of some three and a quarter million dollars through hog chol era; five million through the cattle tick; upwards of twelve million through underfeed ing of milch cows and other cattle; six mil lion two hundred and ninety thousand dol lars through short lint cotton; more than eight and a half million through improper grading of cotton; and six million through failure to grow varieties of cotton whose seed will yield the highest percentage of oil. Then top on sundry millions for wastes and deteriorations in the peanut and tobacco crops, and we have the enormous total of $100,672,832 —more than eleven times the State’s gross revenue. Now, it is not to be argued that this wastage can be stopped altogether. But sup pose half of it were stopped, suppose a tithe of it were saved, suppose even one-hun dredth part of it were prevented. Is not a million dollars worth conserving? The Mule Refuses to Pass Notwithstanding numerous edito rials and special articles on “The Passing of the Mule,” and “Exit the Horse,” the mule has not “passed,” nor the horse made his exit. They still hold an honorable position in the scheme of things from which they oan never be entirely dis lodged. While they are not used as exten sively for some purposes as in past years, the latest estimate of the United States De partment of Agriculture shows that there are 21,109,000 horses and 4,995,000 mules on American farms, an increase in the last decade of 1,276,000 horses and 785,000 mules. This does not indicate the immediate repudiation of the “farmers’ best friend.” It should be noted, too, that during the nine pear period ended June 30, 1919, this coun try exported 1,149,763 horses and 376,836 mules, which are not included in the Agri cultural Department report. In Georgia, despite tractors and other im proved agricultural implements, tens of thou sands of mules and horses are performing the same effective services for which they have long been valued. The raw-boned hack horse of former years has been almost en tirely supplanted by taxis, it is pleasing to a , • ♦ Short Cotton Crop Predicted Reports from practically every county in Georgia indicate that the farmers are sev eral weeks behind with their work on ac count of the almost incessant rainfall of the past five months, and in several sections the boll weevil is making his presence ap parent. While Georgia cannot hope to produce a normal crop of cotton this year, a satisfac tory price is in prospect and even at this late date there are other crops that may be planted with profit.. This is not a one-crop State. In many counties south of Macon peanut and pecans are being given careful atten tion, and north of that city cattle and hog raising will yield a rich profit. In Southwest Georgia and many counties in South Geor gia the famous “razor back” variety of swine has been succeeded by pure-bred Duroc Jersey, Berkshire, Poland China, Hampshire and other breeds popular and beautiful at the Southeastern and other Georgia fairs. Some counties are beginning to manifest an active interest in stock raising, and if it should become apparent that cotton can no longer be produced, Georgia farmers will not be dependent upon other States for subsistence. That Savannah man who disappeared, tak ing with him nothing in the shape of wearing apparel but two collar buttons, should be moderately easy to locate. Why is it that the statisticians never have given us data on the effect of the prohibition wave on the lemon peel market? Poor old Burleson finds it difficult to woo public approval, even when he proposes a modification cA the prohibition laws. MURDERERS By H. Addington Bruce gjyEARY visaged, undersized, a typical [ V/y product of the slums, he slouched ’ ’ slowly through the drizzling rain. It was late at night and he had been drink ing hard —the drinking of one who would drown misery. Now he was making his way to the dismal quarters he called home. His thoughts were bitter. He had lost his job. He was always losing his job, as was, after all, the natural thing in the case of a man quite without education and born short in brain stuff. But if he was essentially an unemploy able, this did not make matters any better for him, his wife, and their little child. He shivered, though not with cold, as he slouched along. Then his eye caught sight of an open first floor window. Why will people leave first floor windows open late at night? He hesitated. Looking up and down the street, he could see no one. Cautiously he approached the house. A quick spi'ing, and tie <vas through the window. He found himself in a drawing room, faintly illuminated by a street light. Warily he went to work, questing for something he could turn into money. He had never robbed before. Desperation had impelled him now. And, being a nov ice, he bungled so that he was overheard. “Hands up!” came a sudden command from the owner of the house. Because he was desperate he did not put up his hands. A heavy poker from the hearth gave him a sufficient weapon. He struck only once. The householder fell without so much ,as a groan—to move no more. The drink driven, poverty-driven burglar leaped from the window—into the arms of a passing po liceman. A little later they hanged him for murder. Into this same street an automobile turned. At the wheel sat a highly educated gentleman. It was his own car, and he was taking three other highly educated gentle men for an evening drive. ‘ The party was going nowhere in particu lar, byt they were going there in a hurry. In so much of a hurry were they that the driver did not sound his horn as he turned into the street. Nor did he slow down. By a regrettable chance an old lady was stepping off the curb at that moment. Every body agreed that it was most regrettable. The gentleman motorist paid the funeral expenses—but did not spend a day in jail. Not long afterward a delivery truck in vaded the street, guided by a grimy but ex travagantly paid chauffeur. Like the gentlemari motorist, he knew the traffic regulations. He was equally aware of the danger to others if he did not drive carefully. But he, too, was in a hurry. The price this time was the life of a tiny girl. And the truck driver complained because he got six months. Yet were not these two more truly mur derers than the miserable, mentally defective amateur burglar? And does not justice de mand that they and their numerous ilk be treated as he was treated? Public safety demands it also. Hang, electrocute or imprison for life a few speed maniacs who kill, and sanity in automobiling would soon be infinitely more in evidence than it is today. Assuredly the need for it is urgent. (Copyright, 1920, by the Associated News papers.) THE MIRACLE WORKER By Dr. Frank Crane I have seen magicians on the stage make roses grow out of dead pots in a minute, and bring huge bowls of water and goldfish out of empty handkerchiefs; I have seen in the moving picture shows, beautiful women emerge from smoke, and cots leap from men’s mouths, and knives and forks dance without hands to move then I have read in story books of fairies making coaches and four out of pumpkins and genies building a palace ovir night; 1 have heard of saints’ bones curing fits, and the prayers of holy men restoring sight to the blind; but none of these, no witch nor wizard, prophet or prestidigitator, fairy god mother, djinn, spook or spr.te, Ithuriel nor Mephistopheles, can equal what love can do., Nothing comes upon my soul so like a tempest of sunshine as to see a boy and a girl with that light in their faces. Don’t smile superior! Don’t look wise and cynical and talk of the sex instinct, and thus reduce the whole affair to mud. Os course we are all made of the dust of the ground; the Bible and science both say so; but did you never hear of that other statement the Bible adds, and of which science knows noth ing, that “God breathed into the dust and it became a living soul?” 1 say to you that I know of nothing more marvelous, more to be gaped at, wondered and adored, in this area of human flesh, than to see a dark and -sodden man-soul arise from its sensual wallow, shake off its deepest-rooted cravings, burst through its despair of goodness, holiness, and all high aims, and suddenly stand up a man, and walk like a god and amaze the observant angel watchers from the skies, and all because a woman-thought has moved in upon his heart. Wliy, men and Women, we climb by each other up to God. Forget the mud, where the lily roots; think of its nodding message, its pale and melting whiteness, its fragrance as of Paradise.. Forget the flesh; remember the miracle. (Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane.) Dr. Butler Apologizes DR. NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER is sorry for what he said concerning the defeat of General Leonard Wood and the nomination of Senator Warren G. Hard ing at the Chicago convention. He has made public apology for his words, which he ad mits were unbecoming and unwarranted. He attributes his outburst to the “strain, tur moil and fatigue” of the convention, before which he himself was a candidate. Dr. Butler’s apology, in the form of a telegram to Colonel William Cooper Proc ter, angel of the Wood campaign, follows: “I am convinced that my words spoken under the strain, turmoil and fatigue of the Chicago convention, and in sharp revolt against the power of money in politics, were ah unbecoming and unwarranted, and that I should—arrd do—apologize to each and every one who felt hurt by what I said.” In addition to the telegram to Colonel Proqter, Dr. Butler also addressed apologies to a score or more other prominent Republi cans who publicly resented his attack upon General Wood’s candidacy and who were among the contributors to the Wood pre convention campaign fund. In publicly apologizing for his words. Dr. Butler does the manly thing, but in so doing has injured immeasurably his chances of winning the Republican nomination for Gov ernor of New York, for which he is now an aspirant. At least the New York Tribune, in its news columns, asserts that Dr. Butler’s “unbecom ing and unwarranted” attack on General Wood has punctured whatever was left of his boom for Governor, and that “those who used him at Chicago for a stalking hore will have to revise their plans.” The same article remarks that Butler’s friends are now striving to save him from political oblivion. z NEW LAWS ON INSANITY BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN NEW YORK, June 25.—The kill ing of Dr. James W. Markoe, a prominent New York physi cian, in St. George’s church here several Sundays ago, by an es caped lunatic, has created widespread agitation for the amendment of the state insanity laws with a view to preventing the occurrence of another such tragedy. A committee Os the New York Neurological society, headed by Dr. Charles L. Dana, is now at work on a program of defi nite reforms, covering the ’ whole system of procedure in insanity cases, and it is probable that the conclusions of this committee will be embodied in a bill to be introduc ed into the state legislature next fall. The inadequacy of the present laws is demonstrated by statistics recently gathered by the Brooklyn Neurological society, which show that from 75,000 to 125,000 insane persons are at large in the state of New York, while another possible 10,000 are free to come and go in the state of New Jersey. All of these, of course, are not to be regarded as dangerous or necessarily fit subjects fdr an institution. Probably the ma jority are harmless. But unques tionably a large number come under the category of “border line” cases— persons who may go for weeks at a stretch without evidencing the slightest sign of abnormality, but who are likely to lapse into insanity at any moment. Under these conditions, a blame less life is no longer any protection to a man. You may have an irre proachable past, a sunny disposition, a host of friends and not an enemy in the world, and yet here in New York you run about the same chance of violent death as a desperate crim inal. If a taxi doesn’t do the work, then a lunatic is apt to. You never can be certain from one day to the next that someone isn't likely to come along, take a dislike to the cut of your garments or the way you comb your hair, and suddenly be fill ed with an irresistible desire to shoot you. The lunatic who killed Dr. Markoe gave as his excuse the fact that he had a painful headache. A few months before that, another lunatic had suddenly become violent in the lobby of a New York theater and slashed three women with a knife be fore he was manacled. But the po lice court records are full of such cases, and have been for years. They will doubtless continue to be until society ceases to regard insanity in the light of a crime and recognizes it as a disease, the same as small pox or tuberculosis. Experts Should Decide This is the chief object of the campaign now being carried on by New York neurologists. They want the laws amended so that in the fu ture the final decision as to a per son’s insanity, and as to the course to be pursued in cases of insanity, shall be determined by a competent board of medical experts, and not, as under present conditions, by a judge, who is seldom an authority on insanity, and to a jury of laymen who usually know nothing whatso ever about it. They want the luna tic taken out of the hands of law yers, and turned over ,to competent doctors. For years, the medical profession has persistently advocated such a course, but always it has been op posed on the grounds that no man can be deprived of his liberty with out due process of law. Theoreti cally, even a raving maniac may be Entitled to his hearing in court be fore being sent to an institution. The popular superstition that, with out this provision, it would be easy to railroad an alleged insane per son to an institution, has always raised an obstacle to any reform. Yet, from, the medical viewpoint, it is quite as ridiculous for a person’s sanity to be passed upon by a judge and jury as it -would be to have a judge and jury determine whether or not a person should be operated upon for appendicitis. Delirium is easily recognized by laymen, but there are some types of insanity which are very apt to es cape the untrained eye of the jury. For Instance ,the basis of the lay man’s decision is usually whether or not the accused is capable of recog nizing the enormity of his offense, yet every neurologist knows that many patients who have the finest sense of right and wrong suffer most from morbid obsessions which run counter to their moral principles. “I know of two patients,” says one New York neurologist, “both accused of murder, who had pursued their vocations uninterruptedly up to the time of the deed and for some time afterwards —in fact, until the arrest occurred. They had -in no way aroused suspicion among their friends and business acquaintances. Each man had planned the crime in all its details, and each had taken elaborate measures to conceal his identity as the perpetrator. Each appeared mentally healthy, yet in vestigation proved that both were paranoiacs, each believed himself or dained to commit the murder, and each had a bad family history.” A man of this type might appear perfectly sane to a lay jury. Indeed, according to Dr. Dana, of the New York Neurological society, it has be come practically impossible to com mot a paranoiac. “By that, I mean that the commitment of a paranoiac has become little more than a farce,” he says. “For the past twenty years I have not committed one such patient. It is no use. The average American jury lets him right out.” This statement is corroborated by Dr. Walter Timme, also a member of the New York Neurological society, who says that for this reason, many of the best men in the profession will no longer take commitment cases. “It is like this,” he says. “We are credited and authorized by law to commit patients we think are insane. This is done both to protect the patient and to protect society. But the patient, after being commit ted, may obtain a writ of habeas cor pus, carry his case before a lay jury, and be released. He may then turn around and sue the doctors who pro nounced him insane. As we all know, this happens very often. Jury System Is Bad “It would be far better to do away with the jury system and have com mitment cases submitted to a com mission of experts—medical men of unquestioned standing in their pro fession; not a group of political ap pointees, but a commission appoint ed by scientific societies. Such a commission composed of men who know and • understand something about the disease would be far bet ter qualified to weed out those who properly need medical care than any court or lay jury could hope to be.’ Dr. John F. W. Meagher, president of the Brooklyn Neurological society, who is joining in the campaign for the amendment of the state laws, also has some disquieting remarks to contribute on the present situation. “We want the legislature to inves tigate the state insanity laws.’ he says. “We claim that these laws as they now stand are both unjust to the patient and constitute a menace to society. There is no limit upon the number of times a patient may be committed to an institution and set free. He may get out of a hos pital every time he is sent there, provided he has funds enough to pay the legal expenses. Is such a man fit to be at large? “Fortunately most judges are be coming very sensible in dealing with insanity cases. They frankly admit that they are not qualified to diag nose various types of insanity and prefer not to assume the responsibil ity for committing a patient. But they are not all like that. I know from personal experience of one judge, who, in the face of the testi mony of medical experts, asked a patient. ‘Are you insane?’ and when the patient answ’ered, ‘No.’ discharged him without going any further into the mfttter.” A carload of aliens listed as un desirables and anarchists recently received from Oregon, California Idaho and Illinois, were deported qp outgoing vessels from New York. About forty more from the same ter ritory are to go next week, it was stated at Ellis island. CURRENT EVENTS I According to a statement given out in Washington naval authorities are considering the advisability of mounting 18-inch guns on some of the newer capital craft. An experimental 18-inch gun, which would fire a projectile having a diameter of a foot and half, has been designed by the navy’s ordnance experts, and it is understood that the construction of an experimental weapon of this kind has been begun. Naval officials were very ’•etictnt when asked about the new gun. Ordance experts declined to au thorize any statement whatever, say ing that when a new weapon of larger calibre had been tested they would be ready to talk. When Sec retary Daniels was asked whether 18-inch guns were being constructed oy the navy, he said: “I can say nothing except that experiments are being made in the matter of a gun of larger than 16- inch calibre; but we have given no orders yet for the construction of such a gun.” The latest American dreadnougnts are armed with main batteries of 16-inch guns. It is understood to be the plan of the naval experts, if the 18-inch experimental gun stands the tests, to recommend that wea pons of this class be mounted on the projected battle cruisers. Is the bicycle industry, long de pressed by competition of the "fliv ver,” seeking an oportunity to stage a “come back?” This is the view of observers in the capital, who say that, with “gas” at 38 cents and likely to go to sl, the psychological moment has arrived for inaugurating a “ride-a-bike” movement somewhat similar to the recent overalls campaign. Clever effort has ben made to get President Wilson himself to lead the procession for economy in locomo tion. For several days rumors were afloat that the president was going to take up bicycling again for his health. In an effort to obtain better fitting uniforms for American soldiers, more than 100,000 men in the army have had their measure taken, the war department announced at Wash ington. The measurements were said to form the most comprehensive survey ever made for tailoring purposes and will be made available to the cloth ing trade. Measurements showed that the big-chested soldiers came from western states, while the smallest chested men were from the eastern department.

The bootleggers, said Quigley, were operating quite generally among crowds, if they thought it safe. A number of these bootleggers are from New Jersey, he declared.

The bas-relief intended to' ex press the veneration of the allied governments for Miss Caveli, was erected by public subscription organ ized by the Matin. It represents Miss Caveli lying on the ground after having been shot, with the suggestion of smouldering ruins in the background.

According to a report received at Washington by the National Catholic v\ elfare council, a skeleton washed Up at Meyers, 111., by a recent flood in the Mississippi river is thought to be that of a member of the band of missionaries who descended the river with La Salle in 1679. The skeleton, minus the head, was found lying on a rock slab, where i< had been buried long ago, and re mained undisturbed until the en croaching waters gradually wore further and further into the soil until it was uncovered.

TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1920 DOROTHY DIX TALKS TEAM WORK i BY DOROTHY DIX The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer (Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) DID you ever consider the val ue cf team work In the family? Os course we all know that no one man, no matter how marve lous a player he is can win a foot ball game by his own efforts alone. It takes the whole team, playing as a unit, pooling their united skill and strength, and with no thought but for the common success to put the ball over the goal. Precisely the same thing is true of families. The reason that so many households are bankrupt in purse and peace and happiness, is not because the individual members of it lack merit, but because they have not learned to do team work. So they fail. Not long ago a Hebrew friend of mine who has made a great for tune, said to me: “The reason we Jews succeed so often is because our families stick together and work together. When you see a father and mother and a house full of children all striving for the same object you may be very sure they will attain it. Per haps at first they don’t make such money individually, but the aggre gate earnings of the whole family amounts to a respectable sum, and using it as a whole it gives them a working capital that enables them to branch out into a bigger busi ness, that eventually makes them all rich, whereas no one member of the family could alone have ever saved up enough money to have started out in business for him self. “I owe my success entirely to family team work of this kind. My two brothers and myself had each only a few hundred dollars, but we pooled our capital and started a little cloak and suit factory. One brother stayed in the work room, and saw there was no loafing among the work people, and that the -work was properly done. The other brother did the buying and kept the books. I went on the road and sold the goods. In every de partment you see we had someone who was vitally interested in get ting the very best results for the least money. Also we had absolute honesty in every department, and such service as you give yourself you cannot hire anyone else to give you; so of course we made a success. We couldn’t miss it work ing together that way, but if each one of us had gone off by himself, as you gentile families do, we would all still be poor men.” A family doing team work—that is a commonplace secret of success, isn’t it? Yet it is one thalt almost invariably wins out. You rarely see a united family that isn’t a pros perous family. It is the house di vided against itself that falls. You can even narrow down this assertion to the individual family and say that when a poor young couple get married and start out In life together, whether they will become well off and happy, or be poor and miserable depends, nine times out of ten, on their ability to do team work, and especially on the wife’s ability to do team work. No man, who isn’t a financial ge nius. can make any headway against a wife who is wasteful and extra vagant and bitten by the mania to live beyond their means. Nor can any map succeed who has a peev ish, fretful, selfish wife who thinks of nothing but her own pleasure, and who stands in her husband’s way by refusing to go to live in some place where fortune calls him, or who kills his ambitions and par alyzes his energy by always oppos ing every new scheme, and throw ing a wet blanket over every fresh enterprise. But when the wife keeps up her end of the game by providing her husband with a comfortable, cheery home where is’ is fitted and cor setted and braced up for the next day’s fray; when the wife is will ing to economize and sacrifice so that the money may go back into the business instead of into fine clothes and automobiles; when she is just as interested in her hus band’s affairs as he is, and as keen for success, why that couple can’t fall—they are doing too good team work. And it takes team work to make a happy home as well as a pros perous one. This will be startling news to a lot of men who seem to think that making a happy home is exclusively a feminine occupation, like having babies. People are always telling women that they should try turning a smiling face upon their husbanus Governor Coolidge says the coun try is in greater need of perform ers than reformers, which, we take it, is a very strong argument in fa vor of the election of a Democratic house and senate as well as a Demo cratic president next November.— Columbus Enquirer-Sun.

Oh, well, don’t worry, we’ll spring NEW MAP OF AN AREA IN GEORGIA A topographic map of parts of Screven, Jenkins, and Burke counties, Ga., has just been published by the United States Geological survey, de partment of interior. This is one of the areas mapped by the geological survey in co-operation with the war department as part of the national defensive program set by the gen eral staff in 1917. Except in the swampy areas the country is rolling, and in some places it rises 200 feet or more above the “low grounds.” It is rather heavily timbered with gum pine and in the swamps with cypress. The soil, a light, sandy loam that rests on clay, raises fair crops of cotton and some corn. Most of this area is rather sparsely settled, the inhabitants num bering about 100 persons to the square mile. The roads are numerous and are fairly good in dry weather. The summers are long and hot, but the winters are short and mild, with very little snow and ice. The area is drained by Beaverdam Creek and Ogeechee River and their tributaries. In the summer and early i nthe fall, when the smaller streams have ceased to flow, the Ogeechee is narrow and sluggish, wandering back and forth across a swamp a mile or two wide, but when the water rains begin the river overflows its low banks and spreads over its valley floor. The quadrangle is named from Mil len, a town of 2,500 people, which is a place of cotton mills and cotton gins and the northern terminus of the Georgia & Florida railroad. From Millen the Central of Georgia rail way runs southeastward to Savannah, northward to Charleston, and west ward to Atlanta, Macon, and Colum bus. The Savananh & Atlanta rail road runs across the northwest corner of the area, through a small town called Sardis. Four or five miles north of Millen is the site of old Fort Law | ton. which was used as a prison camp j by the Confederates during the civil j war. The scale of the map is about an inch .to a mile, and the heights of all parts of the area above sea level are : shown by 10-foot contours.

C. i WITH THE GEORGIA PRESS and be entertaining and bright and chatty and wear pretty gowns and so on. As a matter of fact, no woman alone and unaided can make a happy home any more than she could move a glacier. She might grin like a Chesire cat and monologue along until her tongue wore out and be as beautiful as a houri and look like a fashion plate and she wouldn t raise the domestic temperature o the home one degree, or diffuse one ray of real sunshine or joy if the husband was sitting up glum and grouchy or if he was .stamping around the house finding fault with everything. It takes two people laughing to gether to register mirth. It takes two people to carry on an agree able conversation. It takes two peo ple giving the best that is in them of kindness, and tenderness and con sideration, and geniality to make a happy home. No woman living can puli off the stunt alone and no man need expect to marry such a miracle performer. One of the reasons that women lose ihterest in domestic life, and get slack about their cooking and the way they keep their houses, is because so few husbands do team work. They never notice what the wife does. They never praise her management. They gobble down a dinner she has spent hours in cooking without so much as saying that the sauce was worthy of a chef, or the salad such a work of art it should have been eaten on one’s knees. No wonder the woman gets discouraged. If the husband would only de : team work and show some interesi in his home; if he would discuss thf best way of meeting the H. C. ol L., with her instead of growling over the bills; if he would displaj some real interest in rugs and thril : over wall paper instead of saying i “Oh, get what you want —I dor? know or care,” it would put nev pep into his wife and he woul< reap rich results in better dinneri and a better managed house, so women dote on talking things ove and a husband whom she coul< make a real companion of woul< fill any wife’s cup with bliss. The place where team work 11 ; families is most needed, howeve and where the lack of it is mos i disastrous is in rearing children It takes both father and mother standing shoulder to shoulder t do that properly—and—alas, in nor : few households do you find thi desirable condition of affairs? Sometimes there Is practically n father, only a man who, pays th bills. Father is too muclj engrosse with business to get acquainted wit his children, or to try to guld them, or to decide anything abou their fates. He leaves that to thei mother, and no matter how fine woman she is, she is incapable o filling the bill and being both motl er and father to them. Childre need a man’s experience of th world, a man’s outlook, a man’ firmness, a man’s protection in th development of their characters, an in starting them in life, otherwis God wouldn’t have bothered to mai fathers, and if they miss this the start handicapped, as is proveri b the fact that so many widow’s chi dren go wrong and amount to notl ing.
