The antitrust law just enacted in
Georgia Is very comprehensive and
thorough one. 1t is based upon the
theory that free competition in all
forms Of business is a personal right
and a public advantage, and that a
wrong Is done whenever it is suppressed
or INSTRUCTED. There seems to be no
room left for the escape of any COM
bina tion designed to control prices or to
interfere with the general laws Of
trade. 1t remains to be proved If
law so stringent and far-reaching can
be enforced, and its power and useful
ness will depend very largely upon the
ability and integrity of the officers and
the friendly disposition of the courts.

John Bright once said of Gladstone:
''He is an honest man; he believes what
he says. The worst of it Is that he too
readily believes what he wishes to be-
lleve." To "a question whether that was
not something like self-deceit, Mr.
Bright replied: "No; Mr.. Gladstone
sees an object which he thinks of vital
Importance, and he turns in all direc-
tons for arguments in support of it.
He find them, and he becomes uncon-
scious of anything outside of them
That is not self-deceit." To the objec-
ton that it was dangerous quality in
a statesman to be able to see only that
side of a question which he wished to
see, Mr.. Bright replied that every man
who had done anything great in the
world had been of that constitution.
"You cannot do great thing" he con-
cluded, 'if you have doubts of your pc.
sition and reasons"

The art Of listening is often spoiled
by the mental attitude Of prejudging.
When We begin to listen, we quickly
take sides for or against, as critic or ad-
vOcate, and from that moment We cease
to be good listeners-certainly we are
no longer impartial or fair ones. We
welcome that which agrees with our
notions and exaggerate Its relative
value, while that which is opposed to
them we ignore and forget. We are
not great enough to listen for the sake
of truth, and try to discover it what
ever it may be; we listen with avidity to
that which we like and turn a deaf ear
to the opposite. AS, when we look
through colored glass, the whole land
scape assumes that color, so, when we
listen through the medium of private
prejudice, we hear only it's echo.

One of the principal clauses of the d.
vorce law in France forbids marriage
between the respondent and co-respon-
dent of a case. This has been practic-
ally set at naught by the recent de-
cision of the supreme court of appeal at
Paris, according to which the tribunals
have no power to annual a union of this
kind in instances where the parties
thereto have been able to secure the
celebration Of their marriage by some
public officer ignorant of their ante
cedents.

The weather man stationed at Cleve-

grave injustice at the hands of local

he refused also to pay the fine imposed

True self-sacrifice, which is always
ready to subordinate the monetary and
partial self to the permanent and whole
self, can never come into conflict with
the real good of others. Both are nour
ished from the same source, both suf-
fer if either is injured. He who neg
lects or injuries others wounds himself
in vital part; he who neglects or in
jures himself as surely reduces the hap
