Disgraceful Delay in the
Brandeis Case
If Brandeis Were a Corporation Servant He Would Be Sitting
on the Supreme Court Bench NOW
Senators that delay the confirmation of Brandeis as Supreme
Court judge advertise themselves as useful corporation servants.
If Brandeis were a corporation tool, promoted to the Bench from
a corporation law office, HE WOULD BE SITTING ON THE
SUPREME COURT BENCH OF THE UNITED STATES TO.
DAY. «
If he had-been such a man as Elihu Root, graduating from
the service of ‘‘Bill’’ Tweed to that of bigger thieves, he would
have been confirmed instantly.
But because Brandeis chooses to serve the people, instead of
the corporations, because he is a MAN, a dignified AMERICAN,
and not the miserable tool of corporations willing to share the
plunder of any big bandit, he must undergo the close gerutiny,
and face the opposition of United States SBenators whom the cor
porations own.
How MANY Benators of the United States are going to ad
vertise the fact that corporations own them? How many will
suggest that they are the holders of corporation letters, receivers
of corporation checks—not yet published?
And how long are they going to continue their opposition?
There was a day when the ownership of Senators by corpora
tions might be called a matter of speculation or opinion.
That day passed when the Standard Oil letters were read,
inclosing cash to Senators and telling the Senators what to do.
The men that hate Brandeis and fear him, BECAUSE HE 18
HONEST AND REPRESENTS THE PEOPLE, are the very men
that buy Senators and buy legislation.
There are interesting proofs that corporations control the
Government of the United States in this fight upon Brandeis.
The Brandeis opposition will supply an itemized list of Sena.
tors OWNED, or Senators that HOPE TO BE OWNED some
:m by the corporations that make the life of a legislator profit-
Brandeis will be confirmed, of course. Fortunately Senators
are now elected BY THE PEOPLE.
And some corporation Sengtors that would gladly obey or
ders and vote against Brandeis if they dared, do not like the
thought of explaining that vote later—when election day comes

Religion is coming back to France.
The churches that have been almost empty for a genera
tion are full now——crowded to the very doors with women who
weep and with men who pray. .
The church has come back to Germany—the people who
laughed at any religious form are filling the churches there, too,
these days. :
In Italy the lights burn late upon the ancient altar and the
old cathedrals are crowded to the doors with devout and earnest
people.
The free-thinker who was so popular three or four years
ago does not find himself the idol of the boulevards today.

{ MEMORIAL DAY.
* (Macon Telegraph) =~
From a little book by Rev. W.
J. Scott is taken this literary waif
written by Mrs. D. D. Cox many
Years ago, The writer witnessed
the scene described. He was a
Young student at Bronwood
school, taught by Billy Johns,
Mrs, Cox sal®. “It was the
night before the LaGrange Light
Guards, Captain Smith command
er, left for the fleld, of battle, and
for the last time on earth the
members of that company, many
of whom were also members of
the church and cholr, took the
holy sacrament with the friends
they were leaving behind. Eyes
unused to weep shed blinding
tears on that occasion, for well
did we know that many around
that sacred altar would never
again drink of the sacramestal
wine untll they took it anew in
their Futher's kingdom.
“Mothers knelt at that altar by
the side of precious sons just
about to be sacrificed on the altar
of their country, Fathers drank
of the cup which commemorated
the death of God's only Son, and
realizsed, as never before, how
great was His Father's. conde
scension in giving up His Dbe
loved Son. .
“SBisters, with their arms
wreathed around darling brothers
clad for battle, feit how xnm
and awful was the night w the
disciples ate the last supper with
the Master, 50 soon to be taken
frofh them. That mournful sac
rament was a fitting reminder
of the night before the death of
the Son of Ged,
““When shall we meet again-
Meet ne'er to sever;
When shall Peace Wreath her
chain
Round us forever?™ "
OF the 110 young men, the very
flower of LaGrange and Troup
County, who joined in the service
on that eventful occasion, only
& sow survived the war, and
The Silent Watcher
those few had wounds that pre
ventured a return to Georgia.
Here at a glance one recognizes
the significance of Memorial Day.
It is a remembrance of our de
parted soldiers—those who fought
and died and also of those who
fought and lived. .
And the women of the South
established this Memorial Day.
It Is in reality consecration day-—
not for pomp or ceremony, or fes
tivity, but a day sacred to Con
federate soldiers, It is the South's
Ereatest monument. It is a day
when we meet to pay tribute to
. the memory of those who made
such herolc efforts to save con
stitutional liberty to the South
ern States and the great princi
ples of local self-government.
It is well to keep afresh these
memories, for they cast a mellow
glory over the South. just as the
sun after its departure leaves be
hind those splendors which {llum-

S it grown, or engraved, or

We are born without char
acter, but it soon sprouts, and
then grows rapidly. The soil is
the home, the school, the social
life, the business world—different
kinds of soil, each contributing
its element to the growth of char
acter.
Parents, teachers, companions
and business associates are the
character cultivators, and large

product. But, after all, each one

and means “engraved”—an an
cient and beautiful conception.
We—it may be with the Help of
others—engrave our own charac
ters when we begin to act on our
own judgments, when we choose
and do, and thus form habits. A
habit is a grcove, or a line cut in
the soul, fixed, along which fu
ture action is almost sure to run.
Many habits make an engraving,
a permanent picture of the soul,
character.
It may be truly said also that
character is forged. The human
soul is a piece of metal, without
form and without beauty. Or
propably it has been engraved
without knowledge, and is inartis
tie, ugly. It must be worked over.
In order to make it right it must

form of grace and beauty. False
\lines and deformltles—l—ba.d habits
of thought and action—must be
hammered out. They can not be
brushed off.
WHAT IS CHARACTER?
. What is “character?” 1t is I,
what 1+ am, not what I seem to be,
riot what others think me to be
(this is “reputation”), nor what 1
desire to be, nor hope to be, but
Just what I am—what I have
grown into, what has been en
graved on my soul, the form of my
soul-metal as it came from the
forge.
Character is a stable thing. De
siring and doing form character.
But when it is once furmed it de
termines thought and action. If
you know the character of a man
pretty well, you can tell what he
will do in certain circumstances.
A man that loves money inordi
nately is very apt to steal if
strongly tempted.
A mood is not, character. A
transient virtue or vice is a mere
shadow—a chalk mark on the
~ soul, not an engraved line. Good
men have vicious moods, and bad
men have virtuous'moods. You
have read of the “polite bu:glar,”

GEORGIA COURTS. i
Editor The Georgian: L
It is a well-known fact bhat the
Appellate Courts of Georgia are
worked to such an extent tha@ithe
decisions rendered by them can
not receive the attention that they
would like to bestow upon them,
if they were not pressed by such
overwhelming numbers for con
sideration and decision.
The writer is not apprised of
the number of cases carried to the
Appellate Courts of Georgia, in
volving amounts of S3OO and less,
but the chdnces are that if the
Appellate Courts could be relleved
of all cases involving S3OO and
less, their dockets would perhaps
not contain more than half the
cases that they now carry.
It is unfalr to our Appeliate
Courts to overwork them, and it s
not pleasing to the litigants to
bave cases pending so long in
them before they are decided.
The plan proposed is for the
Governor to select three Superior
Court Judges for each judiclal cir

MOOD AND CHARACTER.
In the great fire in Pera, a
Christian suburb of Constantino
ple, June, 1870, Turks, vied with
the Christians in trying to save
Christian women and children.
One rich Turk offered a great sum
to anyone who would save g
Christian boy from a burning
building!
This was a mood. Naturs,
buried and almost crushed be
neath a thousand strata of re
ligious and race animosities,
sprang to the surface for a mo
ment and spoke the natural lan
guage of the soul. But pity sos *
Christians, or anybody else, was
not and is not a characteristic of
the Turks,
Here is an old proverb, nearly A
as old as the race: “As he think.
eth within himself (in his heart),
so is he.” Will this man steal”
That depends upon how he has
been thinking in his heart, for a
long time. ]
If he has long been willing to
do almost anything to gratify
some desire that calls for money,
he will probably venture into the
region of dishonesty.
A friend once stopped me on tha
street and said: “I want to tell
You something. T have in bank, in
my name, néarly two million dol
lars. A company was supposed to
be bankrupt, and went into the
hands of a receiver. The stock
holders met to plan for their pro
tection. They appointed me te
look after their affairs. It is all
settled. I made the receiver de
posit all the money in my nama,
He protested every time, but ale
ways yielded.
“A while'ago a friend suggested
that, I could lend this vast sum
and pocket the interest. It will be
eighteen months till the final set
tlement.”
My heart stood still as l. said:
“Will you do it?" He had carried
on a large and honest business
for 40 years. What an opportu
nity for making character! He
answered in his everyday volce,
gentle and firm:
“l 1 would not do such a thing
for the whole two million. * T am
now going to call a meéting of
the stockholders, to see what they :
want done with their money!”
THE ROQT OF THE SOUL.
A majestic oak is beautiful on
a calm day in June. But'as it
writhes and groans in the tempest
it is awe-inspiring. The unseen
roots hold. Character is rooted in
thought. As a man thinks, so is
he!
