FUTILE FIGHTING MAKES WASTE.
It Is to he regretted that the Im
portant work lying before the state
assembly is to be held up by a re
newed fight on the new tax law. The
tax law Is right. It is bound to a|>-
poal to the conscience of the Georgia
people, but It Is never fortunate when
a good law Is passed by sharp tactics
and a mere scraps. When a law Is
made over the head of violent oppo
sition and by the barest balance off
power on the victorious side a fight al
ways follow s. Sometimes a good law
Is held back for years, just because It
becomes the center of a tug of war
between factions.
Vanity, pride of opinion and Jealousy
of personal power among the poli
ticians have a lot to do with thwarting
efficiency nrtil bringing legislation
down to the plane of ■ wretched po
litical game.
We hope that the Georgians who ar«
now gathered together in Atlanta to
transact business and puss legislation
for the people may come to n sober
understanding of the far reaching de
struction of this futile warfare. Gar
ments cannot be made when seams
are sewed and forthwith ripped again,
but the cloth Is worn out and made
useless. This determined bickering
end contending iff the halls of legis
lature la getting on the nerves of the
people. Not only doe* It hold back
progress and strict development, but
even as a game It Is unsportsmanlike
and ugly
The public should demand that their
agents should attend to their business
with a more serious understanding of
what their responsibilities mean. (fc

WAS IT WORTH THE COST:
A good many years ago Georgia
paaaed an electric headlight law. This
of course the railroads fought In the
courts and after many years of litiga
tion. It has been held valid, as It was
all the time, and as every one knew all
the time It was valid, particularly the
bright and shining lights that repre
sent the legal departments of the rail
roads.
The railroads were fighting for de
lay—Just as they seem to fight every
Improvement that means greater care,
comfort, safety snd protection for the
public and their own employes At
least, this was the old Idea of the rail
roads just as It is today the idea of
the old time railroad men who remain
I at the helm.
lint is It worth the cost?
It costs less than $200.00 to equip an
engine w ith/an electric headlight. It
Is stated that the work can be done for
as low as $125,00. s Get these figure*
In mind as to the cost of the tihing.
And now consider what wrecks that,
might have been avoided have cost the
railroads who refused to put on these
electric headlights.
Do you know what wrecks cost a
railroad? They had one the other
night on the Georgia Railroad, just
around a curve, about the 71 mile
post. Two engines were scrapped,
some 20 odd freight cars were burned,
track was torn up for quite a distance,
traffic delayed, a house on the road
side was burned, an engineer was
killed and two train crews were more
or less seriously Injured. First and
last, this wreck on the Georgia rail
road will cost the road $200,000.00.
And yet any one who has visited the
scene of the wreck, occurlng as It did
Just around a sharp curve, will un
hesitatingly tell you that In his opin
ion such a wreck would never in the
world have occurred if these, tdro en
gines had been equipped with electric
headlights. Is it worth the cost?
For a good many year* past the
wrecks on the Georgia railroad have
been numerous and serious They
have cost this road a. good many mil
lions of dollars and all the time, lives
could have been saved, Injuries pre
vented, and a great property loss
averted, if the road had adopted the
electric headlights.
Fortunately the matter has been
ordered by the courts. It is now be
yond the say so of the railroad mana
gers any longer. But as long as they
could the old time way was good
wrecks, wrecks, wrecks, losing mil
lions of dollars hut saving the ex
pense of equipping the engitSes with
electric headlights, even though the
public urged It, even though the state
law required It.

THE SPARROWS’ SHOWER BATH
By Virginia Vale.
one upon a lime there was n very,
very hot day, just like we have bail
this summer. II was so very hot
that even the children couldn’t go out
to play much but bad to sit in the
shade nnd keep ipilet ho hh not to
overheat themselves and get sick.
There were a lot of sparrows in the
trees Just outside Utile Nellie’s home
and she felt very sorry for them all
dii\ l hey looked so hot and acted as
llvmg.lt they could hardly move.
Whep her father came home at
night Nellie told him how the spar
rows acted and he said he knew what
would make them feel better. Nellie
didn’t know what he was going to do
so she followed him out on the porch.
tier father went and got the hose
otg and fixed to the end of It a hol
low Iron ring with liny holes around
the top «,r It. Then he laid It on the
grass In the middle of the lawn and
turned on the water. The water went
up In a perfect shower just like a
fountain nnd then came down on the
grass iu beautiful glistening dTops
that formed pools in the grass and
u nde one feel cooler Just to look at it.
Wlun the sparrows saw the water
they began to twitter Joyously and
all flew toward it. Nellie crouched
down behino the rail of the porch to
watch them and lie sure not to scure
them away. What a great time they
had and how It refreshed them.
They would fly light through the
cooling spray and then settle down
under the fountain nnd let the drops
come down on them, and flutter their
feathers and laugh in sparrow langu
age. as though they were having the
greatest time of tlietr fives.
W asu t it nice of Nellie to take pity
on the poor birds and don’t you think
they v ere grateful to her for inuklng
It possible for them to get cool?

v THE CROSS GIRL.
Once upon a time there was a little
girl who was so cross that no one loved
her, and her father nnd mother were
very unhappy, for she was as unkind
to them as to other people.
One day an old beggar stopped at
the door and asked for food, and when
the cross girl—whose name, by the
way, was Freda—opened the door she
said; "We don't feed beggars; go
away from here.”
"You should be kind to the poor.”
replied the beggar man, "and because
I am old you should not turn me
away."
”1 don’t rare If you are old, you can
not come in here," said Freda, and
then she made a bad face at him and
the beggar said, "You must wear that
face until you do a kindness to some
one."
Freda ran and looked in the mirror
nnd sure enought there she won witli a
dreadful looking face, and try as she
would she could not look pleasant or
straighten her face.
She looked so dreadful that everyono
ran who saw her, and after awhile
Freda found herself alone with no one
to speak to.
Hut still she was not kind, and the
animals that ran around th door soon
learned to fear her so that she did not
even hnve their company, and she
gTew to bo orosser and more dreadful
to look at each day.
One day. while she was at the well
drawing water she looked into the well
and saw a frog. ‘‘You are an ugly-

Cj
Because you tried to kill one.
looking fellow," said Freda, "you get
out of my well you are an ugly
looking girl," said the frog, "and you
step looking Into my well." "I'll
throw a stone at you.” said Freda, "if
you don't get out of sight, and that
will hurt you."
"Throw It." said the frog, "and gee
what happens."
Freda found n big stone and drop
ped It Into the well; it struck the frog
and he fell to the bottom, but when
he struck the bottom Freda felt the
carl open tinder her nnd down she
went and all wus dark.
Then she heard voices, nnd some one
said, "Site must be here. This is whero
the well stood."
Just then Freda saw little lights, and
stand'ng all around she saw froggs
carrying tiny lanterns, and right be
side her was the frog at which she
threw the stone.
"First you got an ugly face for be
ing unkind to an old beggar," said
the frog, "now you will hnve to live
with frogs because you tried lo kill
one. If this does not make you a bel
ter girl von are past saving.”
That night a trog brought her sup
per to her and left her alone, and Fre
da began to think over all her disa
greeable way*, and the next morning
when her breakfast was brought she
asked to be allowed to move about.
The frog that she had tried to kill
came to talk to her. "My name is
Holly,” he fob! her, ’’and you can wayk
about as lonk as you do not speak
cross, but as soon as you deg back you
come to this dark place and alt alone.’’
Freda promised, and she followed
Roily, who took her Into a beautiful
park, where there "a* a pond and
hundreds of frog* were hopping about.
When it came dinner time the frogs
spread a cloth under one of the trees,
and Freda was given all the nice
things she had ever wished for, and

the frogs waited on her, and were so
Jolly that Freda began to feel happy
too.
Bho laughed at their queer antics
nnd told them she never knew before
how handsome their green coats were
or how white their vests, and she real
ly thought they were handsome.
“We are nut so handsome, but we
are good natured,” said Roily; "we
hop and have a good time, why don t
you ?’’
"I believe I will,” said Freda, and
before she knew it she was jumping
ajjout and laughing as happy as the
frogs.
One little fellow got too near to
Freda and she stepped on his leg. “Oh,
what have 1 done” she cried, picking
the little fellow up and beginning to
cry. "Oh, I am so sorry I have hurt
you! ”
Freda tore her handkerchief into
strips and bound the wounded leg, and
then she put the frog on a piece of
moss under a tree.
"You have done It,” said Roily.
“Done what.” asked Freda.
“A kindness." replied Roily; “look
at your face, It is all right now.”
Freda ran to the pond, and sure
enought, her face was as it had been
before she made a face at the beggar.
“Do you want to go home?" asked
AFTER THE WEDDING
AN ILLUSTRATED STORY OF THE WAY A HOME
WAS MADE.
Things were going along smoothly
for Jennie uml Tom these days. Tom,
hard at work at his new job. and Jen
nie butty preparing for the arrival
of "the little stranger.”
One day a large box was delivered
to Je.inle. nd on opening it she found
a note and a neat bundle of baby
clothes. They were from that weal
thy lady friend of Jennie's that she had
called on once and who liked Jennie
so much. The note asked her to call
and also said, "Please aeepet these lit
tle dresses and things for the sturdy
young man—or is It to be a girl?—
that is expected before long. How I
do envy you your happiness and the
greatest thing a woman can have—a
child. W hile 1 have everything money
can buy 1 would trade It all for your
"The Frist Child Must Always Be a Man Child.”
Roily.
“I don’t care,” replied Freda, "I am
having a good time here."
And then somjhing queer happened.
Freda felt something queer on her
cheek and she thought one of the frogs
was kissing her, but when she turned
there was her dog with his paws on
the arm of her chair where she had
been asleep and he touched her with
his nose to awaken her.
She had been asleep, and dreamed
all about the beggar and the frogs,
but she made up her mind to be a
better girl and not speak cross or
make faces at any one again.

EX-PRESIDENT ELLIOTT
ON EVILS OF DRINK
Ex-President Eliot of Harvard at
the General Unitarian Conference,
1913.
It is quite true that I have taken,
much more interest in the temper
ance question in the last ten years of
my lire than I did earlier, and this
increase oT interest has come from
certain studies and opportunities for
observation. These studies related
to the terrible effects of alcoholism
in increasing the number of the fee
ble-minded .irsane and criminal in
our American communities.
Later I had the opportunity of
studying the German investigations
on the mental effects of very limited
dose 3of alcohol, doses which most
people have always supposed to he
completely innocuous. The German
investigations seemed to me to prove
that even twenty-four hours after
happiness and expectations. Now do
come and see me. Jennie, and we can
tulk and plan about the young man's
—there I go again, but, of course, the
first child MUST always be a man
child—anyway, w<i can have a good
visit."
As Jennie folded up the note theje
was the suggestion of a tear in her
eye. as she thought of this wonderful
woman friend who had so much and
yet bad nothing. But Jennie whs be
ginning to realize that the real happi
ness of life isn't confined to having
many servants, heaps of money, ahd
often the massive stone walls and
bronze doors that bar from the inside
a little fellow Cupid.—H. C.
To Be Continued.
taking a small dose of alcohol the
time reaction in the human being is
unfavorably affected. Now that
quickness of the time reaction is im
portant to every mechanic; to every
artisan, and particularly to every
person who is engaged in a dangerous
occupation, like driving a motor car
Tor instance, or managing a circular
saw, or, indeed, in the tending of any
powerful machinery or hot furnace.
Lastly, somewhat more than a year
ago I had a long opportunity of ob
serving the difference between the
white race and the Japanese, the Chi
nese, the Indian, the Malay and some
of the Mahometan people in regard to
susceptibility to the alcoholic temp
tation. The white race is inferior to
all the other people I have named in
regard to this susceptibility to the
temptation of alcoholism. No obser
vant iperson can travel through the
East for a year without being shock
ed by the manifest tendency of the
white race temporarily resident ther e
to destroy itself through alcoholism.
Alcohol is destructive in the high
est degree to the white race in the
tropics, and all through the tropics
the white race exhibits a terrible
lack of self-control with regard to the
use of alcoholic drinks. It is mortify
ing to the last degree for an Ameri
can to see intoxicated American sol
diers staggering about the streets ol
the Chinese cities where we now
have troops and never to see a Jap
anese soldier in such condition; al
though the Japanese have five times
as many troops there as we have. I
mention but a single fact; but the
lesson of the East is that alcoholism
of the white race must be overcome
or that vice, with the licentiousness
it promotes, will evercome the race.
