was pointed out when Governor Hoke
Smith signed it-seems to forbid the
sale Of wine for the Eucharist. That
might not disturb religious bodies in
which unfermented grape Juice Is
thought to be as good-or better than
wine. But with Roman Catholics,
Episcopalians. Lutherans and other
Christians. who consider wine essential
to the sacrament, the matter stands
very differently. II the failure to make
a special provision in the law for
eucharist wine was an oversight on the
part Of the Georgia legislators, It was
a serious oversight. "AIl man." says
Georgia's constitution, have the nat
ural and inalienable right to worship
God according to the dictates Of their
own conscience, and no human author
ity shall in any wise control or inter-
fere with such right Of conscience"
What an unexpected and queer turn in
events 1t will be If, upon the petition
of the Cincinnati beer-makers,
Georgia's prohibitory law is adjudged
void as an infringement OF religious
rights.

THE oHAUFFEUR's COMPLAINT

drive large red touring car
That once was new ana smart,
But now with constant wear its looks
Would break a chauffeur's heart
Because they never grant me Tina
To clean the poor machine,
Except to spray 1t with q hose
And give It gasoline.
I early rise and take the boss
To business in the town,
Am back and waiting at the door
When Madame marches down:
Then comes a long and weary round
OF shopping, calls. and rides.
My appetite she chides.
I've only time to fiji tho tank
And take hasty bite,
Before the son and heir requires
The auto for the night
He loads 1t with all his college chums
And keeps it on the 90.
TIL I'm asleep behind the wheel
And dawn begins to glow.
It's thus they work me every day
For twenty hours or moro,
And run the suffering old mobile
For all the twenty-four.
Until the motor jingles like
A bunch of rusty wires
And mud Is caked upon the top,
The bonnet and the tires.
Some day the whole machinery
VIII go upon a strike,
And leave us for the cerener
In pieces on the pike;
And all because some people think,
Upon this crazy star.
They get perpetual motion when
They buy an auto-car.

Reforming the Head Hunters.

A curious development is in steady
progress in the Solomon Islands. the
group in the South Pacific which lies
to the west Of New Guinea, whose
people have earned such unenviable
notoriety as head hunters. The young
men of the tribes in these fertile and
beautiful islands are abandoning the
historic pursuit which has made them
dreaded for centuries in the South Seas
and are taking to the copra industry.
Copra, which is the dried interior Of
the cocoanut, is valued commercially
for the oil which can be pressed from
it, and some of the young Solomon
Islanders are accommodating consider

reported, the prisoners in a certain
Pennsylvania Jail have been complain

a committee of the prisoners met the
agent and told him they couldn't stand

They repeated to the agent a long list

Most people rather harbored the idea
that the limit had been reached in the
matter OF injecting doodads Of fanciful
varieties into the curriculum of the
common schools Of the country. Not so
1t seems. It's now being urged that
dancing be taught in the public schools
as a means of promoting fellowship
among the pupils and grace to their
bodies. As might be expected the sug-
gestion comes from a professor in the

Heretofore the matter Of funds has
not demanded much attention from the
Republican national campaign man
ayers. Gold used to flow from cor
porate and other sources into their
treasury without any urging and until
the Golfers were full to overfiowing.
Now the question of campaign funds
seems to be the most important one
that the Republicans are wrestling
with. At least that's the one which
they seem to be paying their entire at
tention to these days. All other ques-
lions appear to have been eliminated
for the time being.
