Disgraceful Delay in the
-
Brandeis Case
]f Brandeis Were a Corporation Servant He Woilld Be f\‘;fling
on the Supreme Court l’.r'nvll 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 per}:, 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 scrutiny,
and‘f&* 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 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 I 8
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;ly.. by the corporations that make the life of a legislator profit.
al o .
Brandeis will be confirmed, of course. Fortunately Senators
are now elected BY THE PEOPLE.
And some corporation Senators that would gladly obey or
p ders and_vote against Brandeis if they dared, do not like the
| tbon‘l: of explaining that vote later—when olet;tlon day comes
aroun
Old Virtues Have Not Changed
Much in Years
Religion Is Welcoming Back the Mén and Women of the War
‘ : Harassed Lands
Religion is coming baek 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.
The scoffing philosopher who was always surrounded by
an admiring circle of respectful friends walks by himself, ¥n.
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.
When you lzto make them over into creeds and then at.
tempt to live up £o 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.
We talk a lot and theorize a good deal, but when it comes
right down to first principles we're most of us swayed by the
Same primitive emotions today, as were the men who fought at
Flodden field, or the women who were taken captive: by the
Love and hate—birth and death—mother and child—hus
balld and wife—brother and sister—the flag apd the love of it
-b_fi&y and the pride of it--com:-, endurance, patriotism—
the virtues haven't changed much in the last few hundred
yeirs, have they, after all? .

Some Neighborhood Comment
MEMORIAL DAY.
(Macon Telegraph.)
From a little bbok by Rev. W.
3 écou 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.
. Mra Cox said: "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 confpany, many
of whom were also members of
the church and choir, took the
holy saframent with the friends
they were leaving behind. Eyes
unused to weep shed Dblinding
fears on that occasion, for well
dld 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 their country, Fathers drank
of the cup which commemorated
the death of God's only Son, and
realized, as never before, how
great was His Father's conde
scension’ In giving up His be
loved Son.
“Sisters, with their 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 Master, 50 soon to be taken
from them, That mournful sac
rament was ' a ftting 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 TRroup
(‘ou:: who folned in the servics
on that eventful occasion, only
a sow survived she war, and 1
‘ b
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 18 In reality consecgaition day—
not for pomp or ceremony, or fes
tivity, but a day sacsed to Con
federate soldiers. It is the South's
greAtest monument. It is a day
when.wc 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 nlf-conrnm(nt.
It is well to keep afresh these
memories, for they cast a mellow
glory over the Sauth. just as the
sun after its departure leaves n:.

Two Chal—as—
By WILLIAM F. KIRK. -
One chap was attired in the latest regalia,
Blossoming bright as a llly or dahlia—
Wearing the dizziest kind of cravats,
Swell from his derby clear down to his spats.
Nowhing was wrong in the way that he dressed ;
All of his garb was the newest and best.
He could win a girl's praise
And make her heart throb; .
He eould hold a girl's gave,
But not a man's job.
The other was not n remarkable dresser-—
He looked at first glance like a small town professor ;
His elbows were shiny, his collar old style,
And he wore a plain derby fnstead of a tile.

THE HOME PAPER
CHARACTER
":_.——_.By J. P. Greene —————=
Pregident William Jewell College.
8 it grown, or engraved, or
I forged? All these.
We are born without char
acter, but it soon sprouts, and
then grows rapidly. The soil is
the home, the school, the soclal
- life, the business world—different
kinds of soil, each contributing
its element to the growth of char
acter. \
Parents, teachers, companions
and business sassociates 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 habhits. 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
without knowledge, and is inartis
tic, ugly. Tt 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?
What is “character?’ 1t 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 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 3 stable thing. De
siring and doing form character.
But when it is once formed it de
termines thought and action. llf
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,”
or the “kind-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 Georgian:
It is a well-known fact that the
Appellate Courts of Georgia are
worked to such an extent that the
decisions rendered by them ;.n
not peceive 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 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 unfalr 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 judiclal eir
cuit in the State, to convene at
some central point in each eircuit

MOOD AND CHARACTER.
In the great fire in Pera, =
Christian suburb of Constantine
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 ba
neath a thousand strata of re
liglous and race animosities,
sprang to the surface for a mo
ment and spoke the natural lan
guage of the soul. But pity for
Christians, or anybody else, waa
not and is not a characteristic of
the Turks,
Here is an old proverb, neariy
ag old as the race: “As he think
eth within himself (In his heart),
80 is he.” Wlill this man steal®
That depends upon how he has
