EUGENIC LAWS AND IDEALS.
It in not a surprise that the eugen
ics bill was turned down. Neither do
we regret it because haste to legiH
iate on thin matter has not resulted
with any groat, satisfaction.
it is bettor not to pass laws on eu
genics without first bringing the peo
ple to a realization of the evils which
legislation on these lines seek to rem
edy . Hut we are glad to see thut the
legislators of this state are sufficient
ly in touch with modern ideals to
bring these questions forward for dis
cussion.
The eugenic ideal is a new vista It
Is a helpful and Intelligent ideal and
It should be encouraged, but we are
not at all sure that passing laws will
help the growth of this ideal.
Perhaps, In the distant times, of
which we may dream, some practical
way of regulating matters which af
fect ih< health happiness and well
I eing of future generations may be
found, but certain It is that legisla
tion should not far outstrip the con
science and comprehension of the peo
ple. because, If it does, n stubborn re

rights will he created and a fresh spur
toward lawlessness will be given.
No amount of legislation is going
t«* make men speak the truth' or act
with honesty toward one another,
though legislation iria»y protect one
nan from another’s dishonesty, and
thereby inculcate a greater respect for
honesty.
intelligent laws, for the protection
of future generations are bound, in
time, to find their way on the statutes,
but these laws will not he passed un
til the conscience of the public, which
is public opinion, calls for them. That
time has riot come yet, nor will it
come until these problems c ome up for

what General Toombs said about Col

did his everlasting best when lie made
Columbia county,” Now these two
counties are practically without rail
road facilities, consequently not doing
one fifth of what they could in the
agricultural world. Now what we want
to do is to build a branch railroad
either from the Georgia railroad be

the graded road bad starts, or tap the
electric line at Monte Ssno. I would

THE SMART MOUSE.
Once upon n time there were two
little mice. The big innu.sa lived In
the fields and hud to m*ke s strong
nest to keep out the cold end rain hut
the girl mouse lived In a big fine
house not fur from the field In which
the other mouse lived.
Her mother hail told her never to
have anything tn dp with tho field
mice ns they were not as good us she
The little house mouse didn't see why
hut a* her mother hnd told her to
keep away from them she did as she
wns told
One day ns she was walking she
met tlie boy mouse and he smiled and
nodded a pleasant good morning. Of
course alio could not lie Impolite and
so she smiled nnd said; “(iood Morn
ing.” too. After that whenever she
went out to walk she would meet the
mouse and he always stopped to talk.
She thought that he was very nice
and told her mother that she had met
him and didn't see why lie wasn't as
good as she was. ,
Her mother told her she must never
speak to him again and she promised,
she said; "But ts I meet httn tomorrow
I must tell him that you have Hsked
me not to have anything to do with
him.”
Her mother said she could do that,
a* long as she hud promised jjhe
wouldn't after that, The next morn
ing when she took her walk ahe went
the other way for she was sorry to
hurt Ids feelings and she knew it
would when she told him.
She was walking slowly along think
ing how she could tell him when right
beside her she hear; “flood Morning,
little house mouse,” She knew she
must tell him nil about what her
mother had said and did as gently as
she could He was very sorry and
told her he whs going to ask her that
very day If she would not come and
see the nest he had built and If she
liked It wouldn't she stay and live
with him,
iff course now she would not want
to and he was verv aorrv. After that
he never spoke to her hut he walked
near her out of sight so that no harm
would cotqe to the little mouse, for
you see he loved her very dearly.
One day he came out of the fields
j Just behind her and saw the little red
squirrel reach out hta paw. I'erhap*
| he didn't mean any harm but the big
•mouse ran to the other mouse and
I grab tied her and ran off to her home,
I "'hen her mother heard that the field
| mouse had been so brave and saved
her life she thanked him and said:
| "Now Isn't there something 1 van give
you to show you that 1 am very grate
ful to you "”
''Yea,” said the field mouse. “Give
me your little house mouse so that
I she can come and live tn the nice nest
I Um e made for her ”
Her mother laughed and aald: ”1
guess 1 was wrong. You are some

she may go if she wants to." of

day and so he dock himself off to the
woods.. .
Tommie Mouse ran along under the
leaven and dry twiggs when he sud

"What are you doing?”
Tommie Mouse Jumped and be
crawled close under the rock as far as
he could but he peeked out and saw
the tiniest man he had ever seen.
"He can’t hurt me," thought Tom
mie Mouse “He is not much longer
than I am."

place and the little man stood up and
looked at him.

"Who are you?” asked Toinmie

"I am a Brownie,” answered the lit

Tommie told him he had not. hut
that he had always wanted to see one,

"What is It you want?” asked the
Brownie.
"Well you see I am tired of being

And why? From the standpoint of
an Impartial observer, Mr. Brown ap
pears to he handicapped by several
(actors.
Th# Reasons.
First, his late entrance into the race
after fhctlonnl alignment had been
made; second, the fact that hla form
er campaign manager, ,1. R. Smith,
has had a falling out with the "veiled
prophet of Cobb;" third, becauae Gov

It requires a man of unusual calibre

without long service, Hoke Smith
has proved that he can lead there as
well a selsewhere. Mr. Brown has
yet to convince the people that he
would be a dominant figure, especial
ly under an administration with which
he la not In sympathy.
Two editorials in Georgia papers are
indicative of the general attitude of the
press.
General Attitude.
The Columbus Hedger, formerly a
warm admirer of Brown, says:
"The l.rdger cannot stand by Mr.
Brown In Ms race for the eenste.
(•Yansly. we are surprised at his en
| terlng the race agslnsl a man whb ha*
'1 will have to see the fairies about
that,” said the Brownie. “I advise
you, though not to lie changed into a
cat; you better keep your own shape.”
But Tommie Mou*e pleaded so hard
and aa« so determined upon being a
eat that the Brownie promised to see
a fairy friend of his and ask her to
change Tommie Mouse into a cat, and
a white one, too.
Of course, Tommie Mouse thought
he would have to go the woods again
to meet his friend, the Brownie, De
fore the fairy could change him into a
eat so he ran home and crawled into
his hole, which led into the cellar of a
house, and It is a good thing his home
was in a cellar, because (he next morn
ing when Tommie Mouse awoke he
wasn't a mouse at all, but a
big white cat. Tommie was a little
frightened when he thought of what
might have happeneed If his home had
been in a hole, instead of in the corner
of the cellar.
Tommie lookeed all about theM-ellar,
but not a mouse could he find, then he
went to the hole he usually crawled
through to get out, forgetting he was
far larger than he had been, and found
he must look another way to leave his
home now.
Tommie ran-up the stairs and mew
ed, which frightened him so he ran
down the stairs, falling in his haste,
and the cook opened the door at the
top of the stairs to see what had hap
pened
“How did that strange cat get in
here?” she said, getting the broom and
chasing poor Tommie all around the
cellar and tip the stairs, where lie ran
out into the yard.
The dog, seeing a strange cat. began
to hark atid chase Tommie, who ran
up a tree to escape, and there he stay
ed. with the dog barking at him un
der tlie tree until Tommie thought he
would have to let go of the limb.
Hi and by the dog went away and
Tommie began to wonder where he
could find some breakfast, hut cheese
did not seem to be the thing he want
ed. Tommie wanted milk and he won
dered where lie should get it.
“I have always eaten cheese and
things I hate fougd in the pantry and
that is where I will go now. I am
sure I will be hungry for them when
when I see them. I never cared for
milk and I do not see why I should
want it so much now,” thought Tom
mie. forgetting he was no longer a
mouse and that he would have to eat
things a cat liked having taken on the
shape of one.
(Copyrtgh 1914. by the McClure News
paper Syndicate* New Yorfr City.)
Tomorrow's story—“ Tommie Mouse
and the Brownie”—(Part II.)
until congress adjourns, notwithstand
ing he has opposition for re-election
in tho primary to be held August 19th.
We believe the people of Georgia will
reward him for his faithful and effi

largest majorities for him that he lias
