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 scerutiny,
and face the opposition of United States Senators whom the cor
porations own,
How MANY Senators 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 Qil letters were read,
inclosing cash to Senators and telling the Senators what to do.
The men that hate Brandeis and fear him, BECAUSE HE IS
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
d;z. by the corporations that make the life of a legislator profit
able.
Brandeis will be confirmed, of course. Fortunately Senators
are now elected BY THE PEOPLE.
And some corporation Senators that would gladly obey or
ders and vote against Brandeis if they dared, do not like the
thongul;t of explaining that vote later—when election day comes
around.
Old Virtues Have Not Changed
Much in Years
Religion Is Welcoming Back the Men and Women of the War
Harassed Lands
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 yearg
ago does not find himself the idol of the boulevards today.
The scoffing philosopher who was always surrounded by
an admiring circle of respectful friends walks by himself, Un.
der der Linden, nowadays.
And in England it is no longer the proper thing to be a
follower after strange gods, a seeker after mystic and secret
theories.
When the gods arrive, the half gods go.
Theories are all very well when they are merely—theories.
'humtrytomhthmomlntocr«dsudmn
fempt to live up to those creeds, they, somehow, seem to be
strangely lacking.
We're rather primitive creatures even yet—we, the sons
and the daughters of the race of man.
"oo::k ‘:mud th«;riu a.pod d:ul} but wh.yn.d itboo::hu
principles we're most of us swa e
.fl: primitive emotions today, as were the men who lou:ht at
- Flodden field, or the women who were taken captive by the
Love and hate—birth and death—mother and child—hus
band and wife—brother and sister—the flag and the love of it
~loyalty and the pride of u—-ooun?, endurance, patriotism—
the old virtues haven't changed much in the last few hundred
- years, have they, after all?
Oversight Seems Entirely Due
to Excess of Modesty

Some Neighborhood C omment
MEMORIAL DAY.
(Macon Telegraph.)
From a little book by Rev, W,
J. Scott is taken this literary walf
written by Mrs. D. D. Cox many
years ago. The writer wilnessed
the scene described. He was a
young student ~at Bronwood
school, taught by Billy Johns.
Mrs, Cox sald: “It was the
night before the LaGrange Light
Guards, Captain Smith command
er, left for the field of battle, and
for the last time on earth the
members of that company, many
of whom were also members of
the church and choir, teok the
holy sacrament with the friends
they were leaving behind, Eyes
unused to weep shed Dblinding
tears on that occasion, for well
did we know that many around
that sacred altar would never
again drink of the sacramental
wine until they took it anew In
their Father's kingdom.
“Mothers knelt at that altar by
the side of precious sons Just
about to be sacrificed on the altar
of thelr country, Pathers drank
of the cup which commemorated
the death of God's only Son, and
realised, as never before, how
great was His Father's conde
scension In giving up His be-
Toved Son,
“Sisters, with thelr arms
wreathed around darling brothers
clad for battle, felt how solemn
and awful was the night when the
disciples ate the last supper with
the Mhster, so soon to be taken
from them. That mournful sac
rament was a ftting reminder
of ihe night before the death of
the Son of God.
“When shali we mest againe
Meei ne'er to sever.
When shall Peace wreath her
hain .
Round us forever™ ™
Of the 110 young men, the very
sower of Latirange and Troup
County “who jeined in the service
on that eventfur occasion, only
4 few survived t(he war, and
The Silent Watcher
those few had wounds that pre-
Ventured a return to Georgia.
Here lt"n 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.
l It is In reality consecration day—
not for pomp or ceremony, or fes
tivity, blll‘: day sacred to Con
federate soldiers. It is the South's
&reatdst monument. It is & day
when we meet to pay tribute to
the memory of those who made
such heroic 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
bind those splendors wnich illum
ine and make beautiful the even
ing sky.
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
One chap was attired in the latest regalia,
Blossoming bright as a lily or dahlis-—
Wearing the dizzlest Kind of eravais,
Swell from his derby clear down to his spats,
Nothing was wrong In the way that he dressed;
« Alb of his gard was the newest and best. ~
He could win a girl's praise
And make her heart throb;
He could hold a girl's gare,
But not a man's job, s
The other was wot & remarkable dresser—
He looked at first glance 11ke a small town professor ;
His elbows were shiny, his collar old st;le,
And be wore a plain derby lnstead of a tile.

EX-CONVICTS AND THE NAVY.
(Savu\Jn News.)
Because he had served a prison
term, a man who applied for en
listment in the navy at the local 1
recruiting station is said to have |
been rejected, not only in Sa- |
vannal, but also later when he |
made a shinilar application in At
lanta. ° ‘
Whether there were other rea- |
sons for rejeécting him is not |
Known, but if the only reison was
the fact of his prison service
the incident is worth consider
ing. ‘
it tends to prove that the
United States, as represented by
the Navy Department, does not |
regard the account as squared
when a man who has done wrong
seérves u prigon sentence for his
wrongdoing, even if he was not
convicted of a felonly. And yet
how often has it been said that
“Ahe ex-convict should be given a
chance, that he has paid his debt

to the law and should not be
made to suffer further by being
discriminated against in favor of
the man who has not “done time,"”
A very moving niovie scenario
could be :;meu about this inci
dent of thé ex-conviet who was
iilled, perhaps, with patriotic im-
Puises -and desired to serve his
country in a post of ‘danger, Lut
Was twice told that, although he
may have paid his debt to the law
that he violuted, the navy wou.d
not admit #¥ech men as he.
The navy most certainly shouid
not be a reform school, in which
to make good men out of Feala
wags, but if the navy says to an
ex-convict, “You did wrong and
Wera puanished for it, ‘and that
makes you jneligible for enlist
ment ” is it not an example gt for
private empioyers throughout the
country ?

THE HOME PAPER
| * CHARACTER |
e e By J. P. Greene ———————
President William Jewell College.
S it grown, or engraved, or
I forged? Al these.
We are born without char
acter, but it soon sprouts, and
then grows rapidly. The soil is
the home, the school, the soeial
life, the business wfild—dlftsrent
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
ly determine the quality of the
product. But, after all, each one
grows his own character,
Th word ‘“character” is Greek,
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 groove, 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
probably it has been engraved
withoyt knowledge, and is inartis
tie, ugly. It must be worked over,
In order to make it right it must
go into the hot fire and under the
big hammer. If properly forged,
it will come out with a permanent
form of grace and beauty. False
lines and deformities—bad habits
of thought and action—must be
hammered out. They can not be
brushed off. «
WHAT IS CHARACTER? J
What is “character?” It is I,
what : am, not what I seem to be,
not what others think me to be
(this is “reputation”), nor what I
desire to be, nor hope ta be, but
just what I am—what I have
grown into, what has been en
graved on my soul, the form of my
soul-meta! as it came from the
forge.
Character is a stable thing, De
siring and doing form character.
But when it is once formed it de
termines thought and action. If
vou know the character of a man
pretty well, you can tell what he
will do in certain circumstances.
A man that loves maney inordi
nately is very apt to steal It
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,”
or the “kKind-hearted robber.” And
you have perhaps seen the gener
ous man give the needy the “cold
shoulder.” “Judge not the .Lord
Letters From the People
GEORGIA COURTS.
Editor The Georfian:
It is a well-known fact that the
Appellate Courts of Georgla are
worked to such an extent that the
decisions rendered by them can
not receive the attention that they
would llke 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 Georgla, in
volving amounts of S3OO and less,
but the chances are that if the
Appellate Courts could be relieved
of all cases involving S3OO and
less, their dockets would perhaps
not” contain more than half the
cases that they now carry.
It is unfair to our Appellate
Courts to overwork them, and it is
not pleasing to the litigants to
have 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 judicial otr
cuit in the State, to convene at
some central point in each circuit

MOOD AND CHARACTER.
In the great fire in Pera, =
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 a
Christian boy from a burning
building!
This was a mood. Nature,
buried and almost crushed be
neath a thousand strata of re
ligious and race animosities,
sprang to the surface for a mo
ment and epoke the natural lan
guage of the soul. " But pity for
Christians, or anybody else, was
not and is not a characteristic of
the Turks.
Here is an old proverb, nearly
as old as the race: “As he think
eth within himself (In his heart),
s 0 is he.” Will this man steal?
~ That depends upon how he has
been thinking in his heart, for a
long tlme..\
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 the
street and sald: “I want to tell
you something. I have in bank, in
my name, nearly 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 to
look after their affalrs, It is all
settled. I made the receiver de
posit all the money in my name.
He protested every time, but al
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 I 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 voice,
gentle and firm:
“I would not do such a thing
for the whole two million. I am
now going to call a meeting of
the stockholders, to see what they
want done with their money!”

If proper legislation could bLe
enacted to incorporate into law
the foregoing suggestions, the
Supreme Court and the Court of
Appeals of Georgila would be
greatly relieved from their over
work, and litigants would be much
better served. If this were done,
our Supreme Court and Court of
Appeals dos-ulom would be much
more thordugh, and business
would be expedited very much,
Then our Appellate Courts would
have ample' time to consider in

Something must be done to re
lieve the pressure and to prevent
stagnation of litigation before the
courts, 0. E. HORTON.
