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
& 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’’ Tweéd to that of bigger thieves, he would
have been confirmed instantly.
But because Brandeis chooses to serve the people, instead of
ihe 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 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 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 nOIPE TO BE OWNED some
3&. 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 Senators that would gladly obey or
ders and vote against Brandeis if they dared, do not like the
thou:? of explaining that vote later—when election day comes
aroun

§ Religion 1s 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 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, 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. .
'hntho(odaufin,thohalfgods(o.
Theories are all very well when they are merely—theories.
When you try to make them over into creeds and then at
tempt 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.
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.
band and wisp—brother and sister—the flag and the love of it
—loyalty and the pride of it—courage, 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
A hasty review of the special London cable dispatches
printed by some of our esteemed contemporaries shows that the
Orown Prince attacked the Verdun salient with 250,000 men in
February and since lost an average of 25,000 men a day for a
period of 42 days.
During the same period the Verdun drive has been ‘‘perma

What Is That Thing Following
Some Neighborhood Comment 5 e bisic s
; 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 Br‘onwood
school, taught by Billy Johns.
Mrs, Cox sald: “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 occasiqn, for well
did we know that many around
that sacred altar would mnever
again drink of the sacramental
wine unti] they took it anew in
their Father's kingdom.
“Mothers knelt at that altar by
the side of precious sons Jjust
fabout 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 Dbe
loved Bon. |
“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, so soon to be taken
from them. That mournful sac
rament was a fitting reminder
of the night before the death of
the Son of God.
““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 O&Mm and Troup
County, who joined in the service
on that eventful occasion, only
A few 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 soldlers—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, 1t is the South's
greatest monument. It is a 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 thess
memories, for they cast a mellow
glory over the South, just as the
Sun after its departure leaves be
hind those splendors which illum
ine and make beautiful the even
ing sky, .
Iwo Chaps
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
One chap was attired in the latest regalia,
Blossoming bright as a 11y or dahlia—
Wearing the dizzlest kinhd of cravats,
Swell from his derby clear down to his spats. \
Nothing 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 could hold a girl's gaze,
But not a man's job.
The other was not a remarkable dresser—
Holoohd-tllnmnmlmumllmm:
His elbows were shiny, his collar old style,
And he wore a plain derby instead of a tile.
In the same gray sack sult he appeared every day,
With any old necktie, tied any old way.
Though lightly he spurned
All fancy veneer,
"Tis sald that he earned
t Twenty thousand a year. e
EX-CONVICTS AND THE NAVY.
(Savannah News.)
Because he had served a prison
term, a man who applied for en
listment in the navy at the local
recruiting station is sald to have
been rejected, not only in Sa
~ vannah, but also later when he
~ made a similar application In At
~ lanta.
1 Whether there were other rea
~ sons for rejecting him is not
‘, known, but if the only reason was
~ the fact of his prison service
~ the incident is worth consider
- S
| It tende 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
serves a prison sentence for his
wrongdoing, even if he was not
convicted of a felonly. And yet
how often has it been sald that
the ex-convict should be given a
chance, that he has pald his debt
S ———
M
to the law and should not be
made to suffer further Yy being
discriminated against in favor of
the man who has not “done time.”
A very moving movie scenario
could be written about this inci
dent of the ex-convict who was
filled, perhaps, with patriotic im-
Pulses and desired to serve his
country in a post of danger, but
was twice told that, althaugh he
may have paid his debt to the law
that he violated, the navy would .
not admit such men as he.
The navy most certainly should
not be a reform school, in which
to make good men out of scala
wags, but if the navy says to an
ex-conviet, “You did wrong and
were punished for it, and that ‘
makes you ineligible for enlist
menL"” is it not an example set for
private employers throughout the
country? .

THE HOME PAPER
CHARACTER
=By J. P. Greene ————=
President William Jewell College.
8 it grown, or engraved, or
I forged? Al these,
We are born without char
acter, but it soon sprouts, and
then grows rapidiy. 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
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 i{s a groove, or a line cut in
the soul, fixed, along which fu
ture action ie almost sure to run.
Many habits make an engraving,
a permanent picture of the soul,
character. g
It may be truly sald 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. 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?
‘ What is “character?’ It is I,
what i 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 a stable thing. De
siring and doing form character.
But when it is once formed 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.
g‘mm that loves money inordi
tely is very apt to steal I{f
* 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 can
not receive the attention that they
would like to bestow upon them,
ilf 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 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 tney are decided,
The plan proposed is for the
Governor to select three Superior
Court judges for each judicia] eir

some central point in each cireuit

MOOD AND CHARACTER.
In the great fire in Pera, a
Christian suburb of Constantino
ple, June, 1870, 'l:urkl. 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! g
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 spoke 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 time, i
If he has long been willing te 3
do almost anything to gratity |
some desire that calls for money, |
he will probably venture into the.:|
region of dishonesty. |
A friend once stopped me on the
street and saild: “I want to tell
you something. Ihave 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 affairs. It is an
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 “yvears. What an opportu
nity for making character! Hae
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!”
THE ROOT OF THE SOUL.
A majestic oak is beautifu] 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
