For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened —Matthew VII:8— —TEXT TODAY BY THE RIGHT REV. H. J. MIKELL, BISHOP OF ATLANTA.
Give Our Brave, Crippled Soldiers
What Ve Have Promised Them
Tll‘l GEORGIAN has been printing the
facts coneerning 50,000 soldiers who
have been unable to get from the
War Risk Bureau at Washington any official
rating of their disabilities, nor any action as
to compensation for injuries received while
serving their country.
There are thousands of these injured
men-—many of them here in Atlanta, Georgia,
and the South——who either volunteered or
werc drafted for service abroad. What they
did over there is a matter of national pride.
They were led to believe when they went
away that their dependents would not suffer
in their absence ; that the Government would
see that they were provided for.
They were also told that if they were in
jured in serviece by wounds or by acquiring
disease they would be properly and promptly
recompensed. \
They had faith in those promises, and this
faith added to their effectiveness as soldiers.
But they have come back to find that what
was promised them is very slow in forth
coming.
Men who have lost hands or arms or legs
or eyes are made to wait the unraveling of
red tape and the settlement of personal quar
rels in which they have neither part nor
interest.
According to the announced program, a
man who was wounded or incapacitated in
any way by service abroad was on his return
to make application to the War Risk Bureau,
and upon the determination of the character
and extent of his injuries he was to be award
ed a corresponding compensation.
This was a part of the insurance that he
paid for. '
The actual working out of the plan has
been that thousands of men have filed their
¢laims and heard nothing from them.
Delay has succeeded delay, the men mean
while suffering not only physically but men
tally as they awaited decision that never
came.
They could not even prepare themselves
to take up civilian life again because the
The Great and Important Work of
The Atlanta Convention Bureau
TLANTA is far and away the greatest
A convention eity in the South.
We have learned how to handle
these gatherings here, and more and more
the eity is coming into national favor as the
ideal point of assembly i the Southeast for
organizations, large and small, in their col
leetive capacities.
Atlanta is due primary thanks for this
splendid state of affairs to the Atlanta Con
vention Bureau, of which “‘Cousin Fred”’
Houser is the efficient and thoroughly cap
able head. The work of his bureau has been
untiring—sometimes thankless, in a measure.
But nothing has ever served to discourage
“Fred’’ Houser or to diminish his wonderful
enthusiasm and appetite for hard work. He
has brought seores of conventions to Atlanta
that undoubtedly would have gone elsewhere
but for his ceaseless—and always cheerful—
efforts.
The past few weeks serve splendidly to
illustrate Atlanta’s capacity for handling
conventions, large and small.
We have had recently the big Baptist con
vention, attended by perhaps an average of
seven thousand-—reaching some days as high
as ten thousand; we have had the Knights
Templar and the Knights of Pythias, rela
tively small affairs, so far as the sum total
of delegates were concerned, but of vast im
portance to thousands of fine citizens, never
theless.
Atlanta handled all of these three gather
ings with the same degree of efficiency and
cordiality.
It was quite an ambitious undertaking to
take care of the Baptists, as those things go,
but Atlanta was splendidly and heartily
equal to it. Only praise and kind words
were to be heard of Atlanta and the quality
of her welcome to the delegates, after the
great gathering had adjourned. Every one
was properly housed and made comfortable.
There was no confusion or uncertainty. At
lanta absorbed the delegates into temporary
.citizenship, easily and happily, and let it
go at that.
The same thing was true of the two small
er conventions noted.
The Convention Bureau is due much eredit
for the ease and dispateh with which these
thines were done.
The bureau does a great deal more than
merely bring the conventions here. That, in
deed, has come to be about the easiest part
of the matter. Onece here, the bureau, under
the splendid leadership of “‘Cousin Fred,”
sticks along with the job, until the last vis
itor is on his way home, pleased and inelined
to be most friendly in-his comments upon the
Gate City.
Now, vou can’t beat THAT for construc
tive work! ¢
Its value to Atlanta is inestimable; it is
TRUTEH, JUSTICIE
provisions for vocational education for those
men who could not resume former work is in
extricably tied up with the activities of the
War Risk Bureau,
The proposed plan of the Government was
that as soon as the War Risk Bureau had
passed on the compensation rights of tne sol
dier the Federal Board for Vocational Edu
cation should add %45 per month to the com
pensation granted, and continue this allow
ance while the soldier was being refitted for
some useful occupation.
The failure of the War Risk Bureau to
function prevents the Vocational Board from
taking any action.
Up to the present time the Vocational
Board has registered 81,740 crippled men.
It has had contact with 63,533 disabled sol
diers and listed the injuries of 52,367,
'Phis means that practically 82,000 men,
unfitted for former occupations, have applied
to be fitted for some new work. Out of that
pnmber only 6,614 have been able to get from
the War Risk Bureau the papers that are
necessary before the Federal Board can be
gin its service.
That means that 75,000 men who did their
duty, sacrificed their bodies and imperiled
their lives have been waiting for weeks or
months the pleasure or convenience of what
appears to be either grossly incompetent or
eriminally negligent officials.
The soldiers of the Allies are suffering no
such delays.
(‘anada, -Australia, New Zealand, to say
nothing of the great Governments of France,
England and Italy, are settling the problems
of returning soldiers with promptness and
generosity.
Some provision should be made now to
clear away whatever is delaying justice and
withholding the services which were prom
ised to the Americans who went abroad
whole and eame back shattered.
The eripples of the war should not be
made to await the results of investigations
or the settlement of personal disagreements.
Their interests should be served at onece
and their futures made as secure and as com
fortable as is possible.
abiding; it reaches far beyond the mere pres
ent.
The Convention Bureau has been of val
uable assistance to the hotel men, in 'making
their lot easier and happier. Thanks to the
bureau’s untiring and intelligent work, the
hotels are able to handle conventions, as they
come—wisely and nicely distributed—with a
maximum of convenience and a minimum of
added expense. This makes it possible to
handle visitors without advancing rates—a
thing the hotel men very greatly desire to
avoid. The bureau, by cutting out much ‘‘lost
motion’’ between visitor and hotel keeper,
has rendered magnificent and substantial
service to ALL parties concerned.
We have a number of big 1919 conventions
yet to come. Atlanta will be ‘“on the job,”
welcoming, entertaining and making happy
ALL of them. They will come, enjoy them
selves, and go away Atlanta’s friends and
hoosters.
That’s why The Georgian thinks Atlantans
should support the Convention Bureau, with
out stint or quibble.
It's one of the biggest factors in Atlanta’s
present-day progress and prosperity.
A Loaf of Bread, a Jug
of Grape Juice—
The question the President raises as to the
repeal of so-called war-time prohibition is
something interesting to (GGeorgia merely in
an academie sense—nothing to lose sleep
over, at that.
We have prohibition here, have had it for
“a good long time, have grown accustomed to
it, like it from fair to middling well.
Wherefore, we should worry!
Whether Cincinnati, say, shall have a con
solation prize by way of wine and beer for
a few short months before the real prohibi
tion act goes into effect is mildly exciting in
Georgia, but no more. Those Georgiuns—a
a portion of them, anyway—who flit between
this grand old Commonwealth and Cincinnati
(and such oases) may deem this a matter of
importance, but they compose a fragment
only of the entire population; they hardly
count as a factor in public opinion.
We have aceustomed ourselves to beerless
barbecues in Georgia, for instance—and,
while the result may have been the all but
total elimination of the barbecue as an insti
tution, we have ceased to weep over the situ
ation.
Grapejuice as a substitute for wine has few
rampant champions, but one still may use
it thus and not be arrested for lunacy—or
let it be.
Georgia is dry and satisfied.

The citizen who owns his home is a better and more independent citizen than he could have been before. He
takes a deeper and more discriminating interest in his city and its affairs. He gets more out of life; the word “home”
takes on a finer meaning. Now that Atlanta is experiencing something of a building “boom,” let citizens bear these
wholesome trufhs in mind. And now is the best time to buy—on a rising market, with wonderfully prosperous times
ahead. That's what the wise men of wealth are doing; and there's no use letting them corner the common sense
market. This is a good year to build your own home. i
The Mother Who Nags |
By Winifred Black.
BEAR me, how crushed he
D looked, the poor little boy.
I saw him a few minutes
ago when I went through the train
to dinner.. Such
a flne, fresh
faced, handsome
little fellow.
Manly and up
standing, he's a
boy any mother
could be proud
of —the very
core of the heart
of any decent
father.
Caratully
dressed he was
and well groom
ed. Every hair
in place, little
shoes blacked
till they shone again. He ought to
have been laughing or _singing or
playing, but he wasn't.
He was sitting by the window
with his head down, and I think he
was tryving very hard not to cry.
Poor little fellow! Thke minute I
looked at him I knew he was af
flicted with a terrible curse—a
mother who nags.
“Don’t do this! Stop doing that!
Sit still. What on earth are you
doing? 1 am ashamed of you.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?”
Yes, that was her querulous
voice. You could hear it way down
to the end of the car
JOYS OF LIFE.
Jt was all I could do to keep from
going back and asking the little
boy to go into the dining car and
Monday, May 26, 1919
have dinner with me and we would
talk about the puppy at home or the
little flying machine he tried to
make, only it would not quite bal
ance.
And I would let him put his el
bows on the table and drink all the
water he wanted to, and take hold
of his fork the wrong way and put
his feet on the rungs of the chair—
just to make him feel that he was
perfectiy safe and that no one was
watching him and criticizing him
and making fun of him. There are
other ways to teach good manners
than by nagging.
If I couldn’t manage a little bit
of a boy without making a pestif
erous nuisance of myself I would
give up the effort and confess my
self an abject failure.
Poor woman! What a lot she is
losing in life—the mother who
nags! Her children never trust
her. They never pay any attention
to her, really.
LONELY HOURS AHEAD.
Either that little boy will be a
poor, crushed, unhappy, nervous
fellow with no spirit of his own and
no courage and no manliness left,
or he will be a sneaky little hypo
crite who fools his mother when he
is with her and does as he pleases
when he's away from her.
They are so helpless in our hands,
the children—so utterly helpless,
We can make of them just what we
choose. How can we have the heart
to meet that look of surprise and
hurt'in a pair of clear, childish eves
that look to us for love and guid
ance and comfort?
I'qd hate to be the woman who
nags when that littie boy is grown
up and gone. I'm afraid she will
have a good many sad and lonely
hours.

Patter and Chatter
By William F. Kirk.
SWEET MEMORIES
WE’VE heard of many memories as down the trail we roam,
From “memories that bless and burn” to memories of
home,
Some little girl we used to love, some beautiful refrain—
Like subway guards they crowd and shove through many a
mortal’s brain.
But mostly now we recollect that long forgotten time
When father bought a pound of steak and bought it
FOR A DIME!
NOW, while the lights are soft and low in New York-by
the-Sea, .
Those memories of the long ago keep coming bhack to me.
One hard, thin dime procured that steak with extra weight
to spare.
The steak that father bought was round, although this yarn
is square.
No wonder recollections break the thread of this brief rhym e
When father bought a pound of steak and bought it
FOR A DIME!
WE’RE dwelling in Manhattan now. Our purse is never full,
For when we order sirloin cow, or maybe sirloin bull,
And when we ask the butcher, “How much dough, cash on
the spot?”
He strokes his chin and with a grin says, “All the dough
vou've got.”
Ah! yes, it ;nakes our heart strings ache to think of that far
X time
When father bought a pound of steak and bought it
FOR A DIME!

HE Manufacturers’ Association
T says the income tax is “not
only unfair, but unsound
puklic policy.” The gentlemen com
plain that many Americans not
earring a taxable income pay no
income tax. The reply would be,
“Give us a chance to earn a tax
able income and we’ll pay the tax
with pleasure,”
Manufacturers think that a “sales
tax” would be better, for then every
American would pay, and paving, in
some way, would make him love his
country.
With such a tax on all sales, the
man with a family of ten children
and an income of $5 a day might
pay a bigger tax than John D,
Rockefeller,
However, the matter isn't worth
discussing; the income tax is here,
and to stay. Those that dislike it
most are at present in control of
Congress; let them help their pros
perous friends by running the Gov
ernment economically, and curbing
the profiteers a little.
{ It seems actually possible that the
; United States will find itself “man
| datory” for Turkey. The Sultan, if
i you please, is to be kept as the
[ head of the Mohammedan religion,
} the Turks to remain in Europe. The
United States with men, ships and
money, is to supervise and perpet
uate the situation.
You might as well hand this
country a dog with one leg cut off,
blind in one eye, afflicted with the
mange, and say, “Take care of this
l dog, don't let it die, keep it alive
just as it is.” Common sense would
say, “I'll do nothing ot the kind. 1
skall shoot the dog and put it out
of its misery.” That's what ought
to be done with Turkey.
' It is not surprising to hear that
| Ergiand urges the United Statesto
i become mandatory for Turkey.
I There are two gates to the Medi
tertanean—one, Gibraltar, is in the
‘ hands of England.
I To have the other gate, Constan
tincple, in the hands of the feeble
‘ Turk, with this country responsible
! for maintaining order, keeping back
' Bolshevism on the north and Asia
l on the east, would be pleasant for
li the owners of Gibraltar.
. NOT so pleasant for mgthers of
: American men who wonuld have to
i fight abroad, to keep the Sultan in
| physical possession of his crowd of
harem ladies, and Mohammed in
! spiritual possession of the minds of
some millions of Turks.
! It isn't our country, it isn’t our
1 funeral. The American who sug
-1 gests undertaking such a responsi
l bility is something more dangerous
! than an idiot,
Fcur thousand Chinese students,
protesting against the giving of
Chinese territory to Japan, have
gigned a protest, each writing his
name with his blood. That is not
the modern way of doing it, as Ja
pan will tell those earnest but mis
guided Chinese.
If you really mean to PROTEST,
write your protest in the blood of
others, 2s Japan has done in Korea,
and elsewhere. Then it counts.
The Government asks for bids to
build two new battleships. It got
bids, prices doubled. One concern
offers to construct a superdread
naught “with a guarantee of a
fixec profit of $1,800,000 under cer
tain conditions.”
A well-known Englishman, justly
accused of robbing his Government,
said that on thinking things over he
was amazed at his own moderation.
The cheapest bid thatl the Gov
ernment can get for a big fighting
ship is something over $21,000,000,
How many such ships would the
people have to pay for to keep the
Su'tan of Turkey safe in his harem
at Constantinople?
President Wilson suggests that
Congress extend credit to FEuro
pean buyers to let them buy things
here. It is a good idea, probably.
It ought to please the Europeans.
Almost anybody would be glad to
buy, if you would 4end him the
money. “Let him lend me the
money, and have at him,” said Fal
stafl.
There are a lot of people in the
United States,who would like to
have “credit extended” to enable
them to buy.
Some Americans would like to
buy houses for their families, ma
chinery for their business, farms
for cultivation.
The country is setting aside one
theusand million dollars to help de
veiop business outside of the Unit
ed States, to promote manufactur
ing INSIDE. That is probably a
zood idea if mot too many of the
millions are stolen in the process.
If another thousand millions
could be appropriated, or a half a
dozen thousand to develop the
building of homes and the draining
of swamps and irrigation of deserts,
digging canals, constructing roads,
ete,, in THIS country, it wouldn't
be a bad idea. :
