VULETIDE SPIRIT
BUS SUNDAY
WMES
Special Sermons and Musical
Programs Feature the Ob
servance of Christmas.
If the Christmas spirit penetrates the
gloom of today, it Is due in large part
to the splendid observance of Yuletide
in the churches of Atlanta yesterday.
Nearly every church had a special pro
i gram.
Appropriate to the old story of
"Peace on earth, good will toward men.”
Dr. Dunbar Ogden, of the Central Pres
byterian chu“eh. took as his topic Sun
day evening "The Problem of Univer
sal Peace.”
In discussing this subject, Dr. Ogden
declared that the great problem could
never be solved through peace socie
ties and tribunal.-, but must come
through a. change in the hearts of men
—the deepening of character and the
elimination of personal strife.
Gideons Hear Bible Defended.
He said that the great dissensions be
i tween nations are due to lack of con
fidence In the authority of government,
and that this condition alone can be
changed through the elimination of per-
I zonal prejudice. When that is done, he
! said, the people of our country will rise
up and oppose the paying of 70 per
cent of our national income to the sup
port of war. -
At the regular meeting of the Gid
eons at the Piedmont hotel Sunday aft
ernoon, the Rev. H. M. Dußose, pastor
I of the First Methodist church, address
| "d the meeting in defense of the Bible
against the attacks of "schools of so
called liberal thought and partisan or
ganizations.”
Reciting recent charges of sectarian
ism by organizations and Individuals, he
pointed to the fact that the Bible has
outlived all the great world empires,
and declared that it is an indispensa
ble authority in public instruction
"Bible Pledge of Civilization.”
‘The Bible is not only the source,
but it also is the pledge of our civili
zation. and our enlightenment could not
be made possible without it,” he said.
The Rev. Mr. Dußose’s address was
the second of a series by prominent
Gideon members In defense of the Bi
ble. The organization hopes to elimi
nate all prejudice and to place the Bible
In schools and many other places where
it Is not exensively read now.
A Christmas service of more than
ordinary interest was held Sunday
morning at the Central Congregational
church, which was chiefly made up of
music and song. The choir was in
creased to thirty voices, including some
of the best In the city. Dr. G. L. Hans
com. the pastor, spoke upon "The Other
Wise Man," in which he told the old
and simple story, in modern language,
of the search of Artaban for the King
of all Kings.
Children Give for Poor.
Children of the Sunday school at the
North Avenue Presbyterian church
turned the tables on Santa Claus Sun
day. Instead of having their usual
Christmas tree, laden with gifts for
themselves, each child brought a pres
ent or money to be given to the poor
children of the city.
“The Most Valuable of All Discover
ies” was the subject of Dr. Hugh K.
Walker's Christmas sermon Sunday
morning at the First Presbyterian
church. His “most valuable discovery"
was the finding of the Christ-Vhlld in a
manger by the shepherds. His discus
sion was most interesting.
Subjects of equal interest were dis
cussed in dozens of other churches. The
Sunday school and church attendance
was far above the average.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
The Georgia weeklies, wishing their
constituencies a Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year, many of them be-
- r -
decked with gor
geous front pages
of holiday persua -
sion, announce al
most unanimously
this week that
there will be, in
honor of the Yule
tide, "no papei
next week.”
The Georgia
weekly press, for
years, has cut out
the Christ m a s
week edition.
The dailies.may
keep going, with
their records of
news and their
stories of men
and things, but
(he weeklies (ease firing,' and take a
true and genuine vacation, with the
accompanying opportunity to have a
good time really, and get a sure enough
holiday.
The Georgia weekly press has con
cerned itself of late far more than the
dally press with Georgia's chance of
getting a son in the cabinet.
And the weeklies, too, run very de
cidedly in favor of Representative
Pleasant A. Stovall, of Savannah, for
that honor.
If the weekly press were vouchsafed
the authority to name the man from
Georgia who should sit as Wilson's ad
viser and intimate in the white house,
Stovall would get the plum!
He is, and has been for many years,
very popular (with the weekly press.
And the press is divided on him only
with respect to which particular port
folio should be awarded him.
Suggestions run pbout evenly be
tween the secretaryship of the Interior
and the postmaster generalship.
Charles S. Barrett, of Georgia, presi
dent of the National Farmers union,
has been named by President Taft to
be a member of the highly important
commission on industrial relations,
authorized by congress.
It is said that the senate likely will
refuse to confirm the commission
named by the president, and in that
event, of course, Mr. Barrett would not
sit upon it as at present proposed.
President Woodrow Wilson, however,
will name a new commission soon after
inauguration, which will be confirmed,
and Mr. Barrett will be renamed. There
does not seem to be any doubt about
that.
Senator Hoke Smith’s proposed bill
extending the national banks the right
to lend money on real estate is general
ly approved in Georgia.
The fact that national banks are not
permitted to make loans upon real es
tate collateral makes it harder for the
farmer to get money, so various news
papers argue, than it would be if the
old prohibition were removed.
The purpose of the law originally was
to force national banks to lend money
only on collateral immediately con
vertible into cash in case of forfeiture,
but the necessity of holding real estate
collateral rigidly to a contrary classi
fication is urged to have passed, and.
therefore, the Georgia newspapers—
particularly of the rural persuasion—
believe that the financial situation
would be greatly and sensibly relieved
if national banks might make loans on
real estate as security.
Anyway, Senator Smith’s bill is be
ing applauded from one end of the state
to the other as a mighty desirable
thing.
The suggestion of The Darien Ga
zette that all county officers in Georgia
be elected for four years instead of
two, as Is now the custom, has met
with considerable approval throughout
the state.
If it carried with it the further sug-

gestion of no prescriptive title to a see* >
ond term, it likely would be generally I
approved.
It is customary in Georgia nowadays
to elect officers, and then to re-elect J
them, regardless, to a second term. '
Years ago the politicians began to set I
up a claim to a second term as an ;
"indorsement," and the officeholder who !
failed to get it has looked upon the
failure as a sort of repudiation pe- j
culiarly obnoxious.
This idea had more to do than any
thing else, perhaps, with bringing about ii
the constitutional inhibition against a I
third consecutive term in the governor- I
ship. Governors have come to be ac- vfi
corded a second term, almost without |
question; and pretty much the same 1
rule applies in ail other offices—as It I
does, indeed, so far as Georgia is con- I
cerneAl, to national representatives and S
senators.

suggestion is interesting and in many |
instances approved, it is not at all like- '

be enacted by the incoming legislature. _j
Jesse G. Perry, the governor s private 1

Congressman Charles G. Edwards, of
the I'iist district, lists I'.oitor Josephus
Daniels, of The Ralelg . News and <Jo- )
server, as the one sure cabinet possi
bility under President Wilson.
Air. Edwards, who is home for the
Christmas holidays, say.- there is ao- I
solutely no doubt in the mind of any- :
body in Washington that Daniels is to
land, ami in al! probability in th. post

Editor Daniels is \ i.i- |y Imowp jp |
Georgia, especially among those wiio I
have figured in national politics, and J
the opinion that lie richly de." rves re- 'I
ward and recognition at the hands of
’he incoming mlministration is praeti- 1
rally unanimous.
Th< announcement of (lie Georgia
prison commission that it will not stand,
for the removal of county wardens and £
physicians, when the cause for removal
Is merely political, has smashed many a
pretty slat*- framed up for January
throughout the state.
New county commissioners here and
there long ago have caucused and de
cided to oust wardens anti physicians
hither and yon—and generally for no
reason whatever other than that the
Incumbents aligned themselves with
losing political factions in the various
localities affected.
The prison commission never has del
egated to the county commissioners the
right to elect these officials, but it had
come to accept their recommendations
practically without question. When it
became apparent, however, that this
right of nomination was being abused,
the commission sharply withdrew it.
There will be some wailing and
gnashing of teeih, of course—but the
prison commission says it will stand
pat from now on, on its own right ti
name the county physicians and warA
dens.
