Throughout thiz country thoro it a growing tendency to act first and then think. We have too much action and not enough thinking. We past a hun dred laws, for example, where five would suffice. No other nation scrib bles on its statute books such a con glomeration of nonsense as our legis lators indulge in every year. * • * We are too restless, to feverish, too prone to chase after will-o’-the-wisp panaceas. We are becoming enam ored of turmoil, or social strife, of baokbitlng. * * * There are manifold wrongs to be righted, it is true. We do well to rise up In wrath against certain practices in both high and low places. Yet, the symptoms of restlessness preva lent to-day suggest underlying god lessness, or, perhaps I should call it mental poise. • • • Our educational institutions teach how to do things rather than how to think. And when one considers that progress should, and no doubt will, mean less need for alt-day work and more time for thought and reflec tion, is it not infinitely important that THINKING be cultivated? Have not many of us lost the habit of com munion with ourselves? Some have even ceased to be able to converse. We must have constant distraction —business, it may be, or pleasure. We must have an eternal round of theaters, cabarets, moving pictures, vaudeville, automobiling, boating, tripe hither and thither, "thrillers” of the Coney Island pattern, eto., etc., etc. We have little opportunity to get acquainted with ourselves. * * • Family life, the quiet Some circle, tranquil pursuits are a-dyt 'g. • * * The storm and strife of business, of money-making appears to be grow ing more tense and desperate every day. We have all but killed senti ment in the hurly-burly of latter-day competition. * * • We have net masters and men, but corporations and “hands.” The head of a department told me on Saturday that an employe came to him and ex pressed regret at leaving after fifteen years’ service, but the executive was nonplussed, for he was not aware that he had ever set eyes on the employ® until that moment! “Efficiency” is supposed to be a foe to all sentiment in business. My humble opinion is that without a modicum of sentiment between the employee and the employer or supe rior you can not have the fullest mea sure of efficiency. There must be something mors than the mere per formance of a task under striot sur veillance. There must be some sense of loyalty, a spirit of camaraderie, the right esprit de corps. You can not geth the best results by a policy of heartlessness, by treating men as ma chines, by ignoring the human side of them. They are of the same flesh and blood as their overseers and em ployers. They have like hopes and ambitions. They have family ties, do mestic troubles and joys exactly as their “superiors” haver. * * ♦ On Saturday I was privileged to attend an annual outing of one of our great banks, an institution employ ing a force of between 450 and 500. Its president had them all, along with almost as many of their families and friends, at his beautiful Home as his guests for the afternoon and even ing. Such a gracious act makes more for loyalty and honesty and industry and service than ail the “efficiency” maxims propounded in the last half dozen years. * * * The personal element can not be crushed and killed with impunity. A little break in the year’s round, such as that I mention, serves as a re minder that life has its pleasant as well as its serious side; that there is a time to laugh as well as work; that the chief officer is not above asso ciating with the humblest clerk, :hat all are human, that there are other bonds than salary contracts. * * * There is need for taking the rough edge off life. There is need for sen timent and sympathy and fuller un derstanding, room for a helping hand, for a little encouragement. Things can not always go well. Life is not one grand, sweet song. * * • My bonny man, the world, it*8 true, Was made for neither me nor you; It*9 just a place to warstle through, A^ Job confessed o*t; And aye the best that voe*ll can do Is mak the best o*t. What yon tconld like's a palace ha* Or Sunday parlor dink an* braw Wi’ a* things ordered in a row By denty leddies. Weel, than, ye cannae Kae*t thaVs a* That to be said is. As Robert Louis Stevens says: Glossary—“Warstle,” wrestle. ‘‘Ha’,’’ hall. “Dink an’ braw,” neat and pret ty. “Denty leddlea," dainty ladies. CICERO OF THE HOUSE LOOKS MAD-BUT ISN’T Gentleman From Chatham Just Scowls to Make ’Em Sit Up and Take Notice. Whether Representative Herman Shuptrine, of Chatham, would have preferred to be Demonthenese or ens, waves vigorously the Star Span gled Banner o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave, leads his audience down by the banks of the Suwanee River, and always winds up in a regular Fourth of July blaze of glory—or words to that ef fect. When Shuptrine Is under full steam ahead oratorlcally, the speed lirn't He’s liked because, or in spite of, his penchant for Fourth of July speeches. Georgian Want Ad Reveals Disap pearance of Silver Belonging to Miss Barbara Lambdin. Loss of a package of old and ex tremely valuable silverware by Miss Barbara E. Lambdin, editor of The Missionary Survey, has resulted in a search for two young women who are believed to have picked up the valua bles. The package disappeared several days ago while Miss Lambdin was in the rest room of the Third National Bank Building, and It is believed that two young women who were in the room at the time and who are not employed in the building, walked away with it. The loss has been attracting at tention by the appearance of a unique advertisement in the loss column of The Georgian, reading, "The lady who removed silverware from rest room In the Third National Bank Building will avoid trouble by returning immediate ly to Room 1405, Third National Bank Building.” The silverware bears the monogram of “C,” engraved on it a century ago The package contained a number of spoons, sugar shells and other pieces. They were heirlooms and highly prized by Miss Lambdin, as they had been used by her great-great-grand parents. It Is probable that arrests will fol low unless the silverware is returned, as Miss Lambdin Is sure she can Iden tify the young women who were In the rest room. Congress Blamed for Printing Office Waste WASHINGTON, July 23.—The Joint Committee on Printing of the two branches of Congress took final steps to-day toward launching an in quiry Into the Govemtment Printing Office. It is charged that thousands of dollars are wasted annually in the printing of useless documents. The committee believes members of Congress rather than the Public Printer are to blame. Zion City Banishes Pool and ‘Movies’ ZION CITY. ILL., July 23.—The young sports and old ones of Zion City hereafter will go to bed without rolling their accustomed series of games of Kelly pool. The other resi dents of the city will retire without having made their nightly excursion to the moving picture theater The City Council, controled b.v the forces of Overseer Vollva, ordered the theater and the poolroom closed. HERMAN SHUPTRINE. Cicero, had he lived away back yon der before Georgia Legislatures were invented, is problematical, but cer tainly he would have elected to be the greatest orator in his vicinity. Just as he is to-day the greatest ora tor in his vicinity. When Chuptrine. who also is known in the House as “Souptureen,” “Sun shine,” and “Baby Mine,” is speak ing he isn’t really half sc mafl as he looks! “Shup” just scowls at ’em because he wants ’em to sit up and take no tice. As a matter of fact, he is as gentle by nature as a May zephyr, and wouldn’t do anything^ rash in any circum stan ces. When Shuptrine speaks, however, he snatches the stars from the heav- !s off, the town constable doesn’t matter, and small persons and pes tiferous things will do well to stand from under! Whether folks love Shuptrine be cause of his oratory or Jn spite of it, however, he Is popular in the House. Such things as he advo cates generally get through. His personal Influence is great, because he is recognized as able, clear-headed, well poised, and effective. In addition to these things no mem ber is more conscientious in his at tendance upon the sessions of the House and the committees. The gentleman from Chatham is on three of the most important committees of the House, which is, of course, a substantial evidence of his high standing. He is a druggist In Savannah, and ranks among the leaders of his pro fession in Georgia. Wills $400,000 for Home for Old Maids YORK. PA., July 23.—The will of Miss Anna L. Gardner, which was probated here, sets aside $400,000 for the erection and maintenance of a home in this city for aged unmarried women of Pennsylvania. OBITUARY The funeral of Alfred E.

Finds Cat, Whiskers And All, Petrified COTTONWOOD FALLS., KANS., July 23.—While repairing the floor ot his house John Mann, a farmer living southeast of nere, found a petrified kitten in perfect condition. The cat weighed five pounds and its body was smooth and hard as though the work of a sculptor. Its tail, feet and ears were intact and there were a few whiskers projecting from the jaws. SLIT SKIRT FAD “Let ’Em Wear Anything They Want,” He Says—“If They Can Stand It, I Can.” SLIT SKIRTS ALL DEPEND ON THE POINT OF VIEW In Boulder, Colo., th<\ diapha nous “silhouette” skirt may b$ worn in the shade only. AND Iu Lima. Ohio, this revealing garment of line wttnout substance is absolutely taboo. BUT In Atlanta to-day Mayor Wood ward averred that the new gown problem was one for women only to decide upon for themselves. Atlanta will not try to regulate skirts. A spirit of conservatism has marked the police department since the vindication of Miss September Morn, who was discovered in a moun tain pool in the show' window' of Code's book store. The skirt question has been before the people ever since Mrs. Adam, more generally known under her mai den name of Eve, first appeared garbed in the foliage of the ancient ficus caries. There are those who hold the mod ern tendency is back to the foHage skirt, not the fig leaf, but possibly the leaf of the asparagus fern or other chlffon-like vegetable. How Other Towns View It. Miss Mary Lindsay, of Lima, Ohio, the town named after the well known bean, has been arrested because her slit skirt left practically nothing to conjecture. The Mayor of Boulder, Colo., has Is sued an order in which he admits that a woman may wear as thin a skirt as her taste and the weaver’s art will allow. But he insists that It be worn on the shady side of the street only. The courts will probably have to decide the course to be taken by a fashionably gowned women when the sun at the zenith illuminates both sides of the street. “It’s Up to Them,” Says Mayor. Mayor James G. Woodward de clared that he certainly would not undertake to tell women how to dress. And the policy of all the members of his administration would be to leave these matters entirely with the women. “If they can stand it, I can,” he said. “It doesn't bother me and I don’t think it any business of the police to interfere. “Whether it’s a silhouette skirt or a sheath gown, it’s entirely up to. them.” Exhibit May Be in Commerce Chamber The location of the proposed per manent Atlanta manufacturers’ ex hibit probably will be definitely known within a week. The commit tee on arrangements has several propositions under consideration, and a report is expected soon. It is understood the majority of the committee favors leasing four upper floors of the Chamber of Com merce at Pryor street and Auburn avenue, the old Y. M. C. A. building. The Board of Directors of th e Cham ber, |L is unofficially stated, made a fair price to the manufacturers. Tokio Prepares New Land Bill Protest SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.—A To kio dispatch to a local Japenese pa per to-day said that the Japanese Government, dissatisfied with the re ply of Secretary of State Bryan to its protest against the California alien land bill, is preparing a th^rd note of protest to the United States.
