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 the Georgia legislature ts going to pursue the course of knitting In and then ravelling out every It will soon be up to the people of Georgia to find a way to govern themselves with out this yearly excuse and amuse ment 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. SiEEPYTIME Stalm 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? EDITOR GETS HIS.

Then Mr Ade smiled a wee anille and withdrew.

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- <7 'vk V ™ i \f 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 fHE AUGUSTA HE2ALD. AUGUSTA, GA. INDOOR SPORTS s By Tad 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. (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.) Monday’s story—“ The Fairies and tha Dandelion.’ 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. —Exchange.
