W TRUTH, JUSTICE
Having Safeguarded Others’
Rights, Let Us Defend Our Own
UTURE historians will designate this
F war the Great War. .
It has undoubtedly inflicted more
suffering upon more peoples, destroyed more
wealth, created more debt and maimed and
killed more human beings than any conflict
ever did before.
Politically it has destroyed the three old
est and strongest dynasties of Europe. The
Romanoffs, Hapsburgs and Hohenzollerns are
henceforth figures of a dead past.
Socially, it has strangely altered the com
parative status of peoples—those of Enrope
tending violently toward extreme democratic
individualism, and those of America tending
to move toward more state federal control
cerntralized government. The most radieal
peoples today are the Enropean peoples; the
most conservative are the peoples of the two
Ameryeas. That 18 something to think abont.
Tnternationally the relative status of the
Powers has been completely changed.
The balance of power, which 1t has always
been the aim of Buropean diplomacy and
wars to preserve, has disappeared.
There are but two first rank powers, in
the old sense, left in Europe—(Great Britain
and France. The rest of Europe is composed
now of one second rankK power, a dozen
fourth or fifth rank States and the wreckage
of shattered Russia, Austria-Hungary and
(Germany. As usual, England has emerged
from a general war with less comparative
loss and more gain in colonies, annexations
and sea power.
Eeonomically the war has enormously
stimulated invention and thought. Particu
larly have the mechanies and the economies
of transportation been greatly advanced, and
there is no reason to hope that out of this
progress will soon come a right understand
ing of the eeonomie laws of transportation.
When men learn to abolish the present
system of transportation rates based on
length of haul, zones and all sueh scientific
practice and run railroads, ships and air
craft on the sofhd basis of the postal trans
portation system, then will be a wonderful
advanee in human prosperity. The Great
War will doubtless bring this to pass as one
of its results in due time.
The human raee has had its travail and
has brought fath a new order of society.
The peoples have heen compelled to be the
architeets of ruin, and all of them stand con
fused and oppressed in the midst of the
gigantic wreckage they have created. The
task now laid upon mankind is the task of
rebuilding. This will take more wit than
did the work of destroying.
A fool and a mateh can destroy in a day
a greater building than hundreds of wise
men can erect in a year.
It is in this titanie task of reconstruetion
that American genmius and energy should
greatly shine—and we do not doubt that they
will.
If we do not permit ourselves to he mis
led in the beginning of the work by undue
sentimentality and the boastful incompeten.
cy of demagogues, we shall be able in a few
yvears to make our nation the greatest single
power the world has ever seen.
We ecan enforee the freedom of the seas
and see to it that no nation ever again lays
elaim to dominion over the highways of in
ternational commerce.
We ean extend our own commerece and
trade to the most remote corners of the earth
—and do so withont using any other force
than the foree of our skill, onur intelligence
and onr resoureces,
There are already all kinds of sentimental
proposals that we take upon us the burdens
of other nations; that we give millions to
this one and cancel the millions owed to us
by that one; that we waive our American
theory of free seas and nentral rvights: that
we do this and that idiotiec sentimental thing
to eripple our own power, jeopardize our
own rights and build up competitors and al
ways possible enemies.
We must exercise our native good sense
to resist and defeat such proposals.
The Governments with which we have
been associated in war are extremely prac
tical. We must be exactly JUST in our
dealings with them-—and only just. We
should neither give nor take favors, but do
business with them on sensible, honorable
and strietly businesslike lines.
There is great danger in these weak-eyed
sentimentalists. They must be shown
promptly that their propaganda is not re.
garded with any favor by level-headed
Americans.
The best watehword to which we can
cling is AMERICA FIRST.
That is where America belongs in the
real American heart.
And the chief result of this war ought to
be to make us all REAL: AMERICANS-—-not
(Gierman-Americans or Anglo-Americans or
Franco-Americans—but just plain American
Americans.
! This is no time to subordinate the wel
[ fare and material interest of this country
to those of any favorite foreign country.
There can not be too little of this sort of
sloppy sentimentality and misguided affec
tions hereafter,
The power, welfare, interest and predomi
nance of THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA must be the whole thought of any
man who wants the rest of us to helieve that
he is a good American.
The objeets for which we went to war in
Furope have been aecomplished.
The seas are freed from submarine war
fare, and THE POWER OF AUTOCRACY
IS FOREVER BROKEN.
Those two objects we have accomplished
in a marvelously short time with an enor
mons outlay of energy and resources.
| Incidentally we saved FEngland, France
| and Italy from defeat—than which gift of
deliveranee no nation can give to others a
greater.
We have splendidly done our duty to
Europe and to the world—splendidly and
generously done our duty.
NOW OUR DUTY LIES AT HOME.
Now our business is to recoup our own losses,
enlarge our own production, extend our own
commerce and emphasize our own power and
place in the sun.
These are mighty tasks that lie ahead
of us. But our people can accomplish them
and will accomplish them.
They ask nothing exeept that no blan
ders of diplomaey or of legislation tie their
hands, clog their feet or paralyze their ener
gies.
| A free field and no favors to and from
foreign nations, but just fair play and square
dealing—that is all that we Americans want
of anybody. .
With that we can hold our own in the
world, wronging nohody, fearing nobody and
well determined to maintain the rights upon
land and sea which we willingly accord to
every other people.
That is our conception of the attitude of
the American people today.
, We are sure that is a right conception.
JTHE WORK OF WOMEN
IN WAR AND PEACE
! During the war women have learned much
| about industry. Also industry has learned
‘ much about women. For women wage-earn
i ers conditions will always be hetter than they
were before the war.
In almost every instance where, women
have taken the places of men there has been
no loss of efficiency. In some instances there
has been an actunal gain.
A few years ago no railway superin
tendent would have credited the statement
that women would serve ably as street car
conduetors and subway guards. Today thou
’ sands of women are employed on transit
lines in New York and other cities, and are
doing excellent work.
Both the army and navy have found
women excellently adapted to office work
not as stenographers, but as bookkeepers,
expert accountants and office managers.
One Long Island farmer who conducts a
large truck and experimental farm reports
that he gets even better results from the
work of women than from that of men. The
greatly increased use of agrieultural machin
ery reduces the necessity of brute strength
and enables women to compete on even terms
with her more muscular brother,
In the readjustments and reconstructions
that are to follow the war there will be plen
ty of work for both men and women. Equal
pay will come speedily, now that women are
gaining the suffrage in so many States,
Gradually women who are compelled to
earn their own living will be enabled to do
so easily. We believe this will make not the
slightest difference with the American home,
for the natural desire of all good women is
to marry and rear children. But when it be.
comes necessary for them to go forth into
the world and win their own bread they will
be able to do so without loss of self-respect,
and without the hardships that have hitherto
l been imposed upon them.

YHE purpose of The Georgian's Empty
Stocking Fund is to make Christmas Day
as happy as possible for all little children ;
those little children who are so happily sit
uated as to be able to taste the sweets of giv
ing as well as those who may know-only the
lesser joys of receiving.
The little children of the poor are as much
entitled to the joys of Santa Claus as the little
children of the rich and well to do. They belong
to us all and it is our pleasant and heart-full
duty to care for them and see that they do not
want at this particular time.
You see, little boys and little girls are pretty
much the same the world over. The litle boy of
the poor is just a little boy, the same as the lit
tle boy of the rich, and enjoys the same things
and plays the same way.
The Georgian wants to call your particular
attention to the eartoon that is printed just
above. The artist depicts two kinds of Christ
mas. The lower picture is very distressing. No
one with a heart wants this kind of Christmas
to come to any little child. The Georgian is
doing what it ean to enable you to wipe out this
picture so far as Atlanta is concerned, and if
vou want more of what is shown in the upper
picture and none at all of such a Chrstmas as
is shown in the lower picture you may help by
sending in a contribution to the Empty Stoek
ing Fund, or by throwing as much as yon ean
into the hat one of the boys of the Liberty
Quartet which is adding to the joyous Christ
mas spirit in the downtown seetion of the city
every day and every evening,
Christmas is away and above all else the First
Festival in the lives of the Kiddies,
Happy indeed is he who makes some little
child happy on Christmas Day., Poor, indeed,
is he who, having no child of his own to make
glad-hearted on that day, passes it up without
effort to find either the child or the way to
bear it a gift.
Such, simple kindness requires no sacrifice.
Yet many a poor mother would ecoin the
blood-drops of her own heaxt to gratify the sim
ple, trusting wishes of her little tots at Christ
mas time.
All ehildren know of Santa Claus—to them he
is their patron saint-<a mysterious being but a
reality-—for do not err- fortunate childven
share in his benefits,
Age ean not wither nor skepticism smother
the juvenile faith in a Santa Claus who goes
abroad once a yvear and bestows prizes through
out the Kingdom of Babes.
From year to year the little folk look forward
to this advent. It is one of their chief concerns.
The toys of yesteryear are broken, mislaid and
gone, the goodies devoured, but their blessings
are cherished in memory and serve to feed the
quenchless faith that Christmas shall come
again-—what cheer will it bring this time?
How many of their wishes will be fulfilled—
or if but one, will it be that one dearest to the
heart?
What are the good people of Atlanta to do
this year? Are they to forget that the poor
children we have always with us, and that they
have a claim upon our attention most especial
ly at this season?
We do not believe it, The people of Atlanta
are not selfish, They would not disappoint the
little children who have come to look to them
with love and trust and a sure relief that some
how Santa ('laus will drive up to their doors
| again this year as in the past,
, The Shriners know something of the wants
| of the little children of thévery poor at Christ.
. mas time in Atlanta, for last year and the vear
before that they helped to boost The Georaian's
Empty Stocking Fund., They are going to do
it again this year, God bless them. On the night
of Friday, December 20, Yaarab Temple's splen.
did band and chanters will give a concert for
the Empty Stocking Fund at the Auditorium,
The Georgian will show upon the sereen at the
Auditorium the same night the ‘*‘Smiles Across
the Sea’ film which was taken in this city to
be shown to the boys at the war front.
There will be no admission ebarge to this con.
cert, but a free-will offering will be taken up,
If everyone who attends this concert eon
tributes no more than a dollar it will swell the
fund very materially.
There are as many poor in Atlanta this year
as therve ever were, Our list of needy children
this year actually EXCEEDS that of last year,
and it is not YET finished. A dollar does not
go anything like so far as it did, even last year,
Every contribution you make to this fund,
therefore, will be DOUBLY helpful in the great
work of filling the stockings of little children
in the eity on Christ’s birthday, that otherwise
will be empty.
Will you not send in your contribution NOWI
Do not delav another minute,

" Imagination and
Knowledge
By Garrett P, Serviss.
HOEVER thinks out the an-
W swer to the question print
ed below 18 on the true
highway that leads to knowledge.
A thoughtful boy, after learning
wlm.t his books tell him about geog
raphy, can make his knowledge
vivid, interesting and productive
by asking and answering such
questions for himself. School chil
dren never dream how the best
teachers get'their erudition and
are able to handle what they know
with 80 much ease.
It is because such teachers travel
the way that Willlam Thomson,
who afterward became the re
rowned Lord Kelvin, pursned when,
while preparing for the great Cam
bridge University mathematical ex
amination, spent his entire summer
vacation with a friend, afterward
Professor Blackburn, spinning oval
stones on a hard sea beach, striv
ing to make them rise up on end
like tops.
Thomson was trying to explain
why an ellipsoidal, or oval, body if
rapidly spun, gets up and stands
on its longest axis. “Common
sense” onlookers (as they thought
themselves) smiled disdainfully, but
Thomson kept on spinning stones
until he had solved his problem and
made himself famous.
SUPPOSING CASES.
Sometimes ‘“supposing a cuase,”
and driving one's imagination in
harness, is a very effective method
of clearing up knowledge, and it is
this plan that the writer of the
following letter has been trying:
“lT have read your article about
how you can feel the earth turn,
and an argument was brought up,
which we would like to have you
settle. The argument is as follows:
A man takes a certain circumfer
ence from the North Pole, which he
can cover in 24 hours, coming to the
same starting point if the earth |
were standing still. Now, as the |
earth travels from west to east and ,
the man travels from east to west. i
how soon will he reach the start
ing point? My friend claims 24 |
hours; 1 say 12 hours.—E. T.” |
The statement is not quite as ]
luminous as it should be. What ‘
“E. T.” evidently has in his mind's ‘;
eye is about his: A man walks in |
a circle around the North Pole, at |
such a distance from the pole that !
he gan cover the circumference of
the cirele in just 24 hours. It is as- ’
sumed that he keeps on going with- i
out any stop, and at a uniform |
speed, during the entire interval. ‘
The direction in which he walks is 4‘
opposite to that of the earth’s daily
rotation. E
Now, if we suppose that the man ‘
walks steadily three miles an hour |
he will go 72 miles in the 24 hours. |
This enables us to calculate easily |
how far his circle lies from the |
pole. The distance is 72 miles di- .
vided by twice the ratio of the cir- |
cumference of a circle to its diame- l
ter, i. e, by the approximate num
ber 6.28, which gives for the quo- |
tient 11.405, or say, in round num
bers, 111-2 miles. By keeping at l
that distance from the pole, and
going ahead at the rate of 3 miles
an hour, he will complete the circle
in 24 hours,
The earth is turning in the direc
tion opposite to that in which the
man is walking and turning at the |
same rate at which he is walking. |
A stone lying on the ground within {
about 11 1-2 miles of the pole would
be carried eastward in a circle
about the pole at the rate of 3
miies an hour, but it would go along
with the ground itself. Suppose our |
man starts from that stone, and [
walks westward away from it, in a |
cirele of the same size, |
ANSWER MADE CLEAR. ]
The stone has no independent |
motion, it simply lies in a fixed po- I
sition on the ground, and it is the |
general rotation of the whole earth
that carries the stone round along
with the ground it rests on.
The man also I 8 carried round to
gether with the ground, but he im
parts to his body an independent
motion, over the ground, in the op
posite direction, That independent
motion is at the rate of 3 miles an
hour, and since the distance round
the circle of ground he 1s walking
on is 72 miles, it is manifest that
he must gake 24 hours to complete
the circle and come back again to
the stone from which he started.
But with regard to outer space,
or to a distant, unconnected body
like the sun, or a star, the case is
different. If the man starts when
the sun Is in a certain position in
the sky, and walks round with the
sun at the same angular speed, the
sun will remain fixed as far as he
is concerned; but if he goes in the
direction opposite to the sun's ap
parent daily motion, he will meet
the sun again in its original place
in 12 hours. But always it will take
him 24 hours to complete his circu
of the earth itself.
KEEP IT DARK.
(Columbus Enquirer-Sun.)
Even If you were too stingy to
give anything to the fund for the
aid and comfort of the boys “over
there,” for goodness sake don't let
anybody know it, especially any of
their relatives and friends. Don't
let them ever hear of it.

A Stepmother’s
| Problem
By Winifred Black.
DEAR WINTFRED BLACK:
I am married to a widower
who has two children. 1 tried to
do all in my power to make those
children care for me and appreciate
me, as I was also an orphan and
knew how to sympathize with them,
and dearly love children, but it was
impossible. They always have had
a hatred toward me, and are always
making false reports to their father
about me and he upholds them in
it, and all his attention and love
are for them, and he is always look
ing out for their present and future
interest. And I don’t dare to men
tion one of their faults to him, as
he flies into an awful rage and
won't believe a word of it. But if
they make accusations against me
. he is all attention and makes an
‘ awful scene, although I protest they
| are false, and they are false.
| Now, lam faithful and true to
. him and help him in business, but
it is not appreciated, although he
needs my help. Money is no object
} to him for anything for his chil
dren, but for me he is as miserly as
| can be.
| When lam sick T get no sym
-1 paihy or care. lam considered lazy,
- not sick. 1 must die to prove it.
| Now, please tell me what to-do to
' better matters, and greatly oblige,
MISERABLE.
| OW, Miserable, I don’t blame

B
vso g 8 what are you
Agsan astem ’ going to do
SN ‘
BTN s s about it?
¢ \/ .
g I'lil tell you,
just stand it for a while, Just a lit
tle, little while.
If you manage right, it won't be
long.
TALK VERY FRANKLY,
Now, I'll tell you how I'd manage
it. I'd wait till some time when
everything had been going pretty
well, when you had made a spe
cially good dinner for the children
or had given them some little un
expected treat, and then I'd take
them into my room and have a talk,
just a plain, sensible, matter-of
fact talk, about the whole situa
tion.
I'd tell them just how I felt, how
eager | was to be a good mother to
them, and how determined I was to
do my duty by them in every way. *
I'd tell them ho wl wasan orphan
myself when 1 was little, and how
lonely I was, and how I longed for a
mother's love, I wouldn't be over
sentimental, and 1 wouldn't try to
make them pity me-—some persons
despise anyone they pity, and it is
dangerous business, this affair of
being pitied
But I would be perfectly frank
and open and honest with them, I'd
tell them exactly what was in my
heart, and ask them what was in
theirs; and I'd come to a plain,
simple, loving, sensible, practical
understanding with them,
I would arrange to have their
father in another room where he
could hear every word I said and
every word the children said.
You mustn’'t feel bitter toward
them because they hate you,
They hate you not on your own
account, but for the sake of the
dear mother who is gone, and the
very fact that they are so loyal to
“her proves that they can be loyal
to you, too, when they get around
to it, and they are worth fighting
and loving for and hoping for, and
yes, scheming a little for, too.
You are cleverer than they, older,
more experienced; you ought to be
able to manage them, and you are,
if you don't let your feelings run
away with you,
When you do that, you are just as
foolish, as they—and that is quite
unnecessary, \
You have more tact, and more
diplomacy, and more management
than your husband. Why don’t you
manage him?
IT'S YOUR JOB.
