" Go and Sin No More. "
from the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The other day, after fining a young
woman brought before him from
disorderly resort, a Chicago judge
told her to go and jump into the
lake, and added that all the women
of her kind ought to follow her ex-
ample. Il think the judge is right,
said the woman, weeping. THE lake
is the only place for me. I and all
my kind would be better off dead.
And yet [ never stole or i'll treated
a young child or injured any one
very badly. I've been my own worst
enemy"
Was there no one in all Chicago,
not even a Salvation Army lass, to
tell this Wretched woman that Judge
Going was wrong, and to remind her
Of the words of hope addressed to
another scarlet woman by the Judge
of all the world nineteen hundred
years ago? When the scribes and
Pharisees brought her before him
and asked if she should be stoned,
according to the law, the answer
was: He that is without sin
among you let him first cast a stone
at her" And when the accusers,
struck dumb, stole away one after
the other He said to the woman:
Neither do / condemn thee; go and
sin no more"
Forgetful of the Divine mercy
which opens the door of hope even
to the worst, the judge at Chicago
shut that door in the face of the
human soul that might have listened
to and Obeyed the Injunction: GO
and sin no more" That injunction
may we'll be taken to heart by Judge
Going himself and by us all, for
there is no man or woman living
who has not sinned in one way or
another, who has not repeatedly
broken a VOW of amendment, and
who does not know the power of a
bad habit once formed

MIR. TAFT'S RELIGION.

The Boston TRANSCRIPT, which is
published at the center of Unitarian
ism, thus discusses what is becom-
ing an interesting feature Of the
present campaign for the presidency;
In the presidential campaign Mr..
Tafts Unitarianism is not proving
an asset, so far as numerical support
is concerned One Indiana man re-
Gently remarked: Out here we look
at Unitarianism as sort of infidel-
ity, and we are little suspicious of
Mr. Taft on that account The In
dex, published at Valley Center,
Kan, in a recent issue describes
a series of chautauqua lectures given
by DR.. George L. Robinson, includ-
ing such themes as Isaiah's Undis-
puted Prophecies and the like, in
which it says that the speaker Gre
ated no little surprise in one half Of
his morning discourse by declaring
that while he had always been a re-
publican he would prefer to place
at the head Of the country a chris
tian gentleman like Mr.. Bryan rath-
er than a man who had never ac-
cepted christianity and who, when
he attended services of any kind,
went where the divinity of Christ
was denied. The hearty applause
which followed this utterance, in the
reporters opinion, left no doubt that
the Chautauqua atmosphere presents
serious obstacle to Mr.. Taft's sue
cess"
1t is something unusual for ones
religion TO figure in a campaign for
president; but possibly this is due
to the fact that not in many years
has there been candidate of either
Of the big parties who was not suf7-
GENTLY orthodox as to recognize the
divinity of Christ-who believed in
the trinity.
AS a matter of fact, however, our
constitution guarantees to every
man the right to worship God &C
cording to the dictates of his own
conscience.
The Birmingham Age-Herald
thinks it Is pretty late in the develop
ment of the republic and in an age
Of great liberality to bring objec-
tons to candidate because of his
religious views, Beyond all doubt,
however, the republican party is
troubled by this feature of the cam

An Occasional Min.

The house of representatives has
gone on record as opposed to a man
getting drunk, but perfectly willing
for him to take drink every now
and then. This expression came out
in a discussion of one of the features
OF the Holder convict bill, the origi-
nal section proposing that no guards
Tor convicts be employed who did
not totally abstain from the use Of
intoxicating liquors as a beverage.
by amendment this section was made
TO read that no guard shall be en-
ployed who drinks intoxicating lio-
uors to excess. This amendment
was put to vote and passed II
to 81.

The Magic Kernel of Corn

(Charles H. Cochrane in The Circle
A grain of corn, found in tbo
wrappings OF an Egyptian mummy
which had lain in the tomb for fort,,
centuries, was planted and grew info
a great cornstalk with spreading
leaves and heavy golden ears. DIR
Ing that period of quiescence more
than one hundred generations Of
men had lived and toiled and gone
to their long rest, yet the life-spark
in that kernel of corn survived. as
by miracle, and burst forth anew
after four thousand years of slumber
Scarcely less wonderful does it an
pear that the very paper this article
10 printed on may be imbued with
cornstalk fibers, the new material
that is shortly to take the place Of
wood for paper making.
Are you going to the woods for
sport? Ten to one the smokeIess
powder for your shotgun contains a
cellulose nitrate made from corn.
Thus it may happen that the ducks
you blaze away at were fattened
from the same field of corn that
yields the power to drive the shot
into them. II you carr; camera
your films are probably coated with
collodion that was made from corn
plth. If you are touring in an auto
your lubricating oil is made from
corn, If you have the kind that does
not gum; and if you have the latest
machine that explodes denatured al
cohol instead of gasoline your alco-
hol is practically certain to be made
from corn.
Corn is the most omnipresent
thing in the universe. Go where you
will you can not get away from it.
AS the moving picture machine
flashes its hundreds of thousands OF
MINIS on the screen little do We
think that these miles Of picture
films would not operate without a
sensitiZing material based on cellu-
lose, obtained mainly from the hum
bic COrnstalk
The average man, if asked if he
could get along without corn, would
would bethink himself only of the
corn in some form as a breakfast
hot johnny-cake or the corn-mufin
food, or possibly OF popcorn. But
how his mouth would legthen at
the corners If told that he must pay
an extra cent or two for every
starched thing he wears If the laun-
dry may not use corn-starch; that
his soap will rise in price without
corn oil from the glucose factory;
that cheap silk ties must be no more
because the cellulose adulteration IS
based on corn pith! Tell him that
his mucilage bottle will cost him ten
cents instead Of five if gum arabic
is used instead of dextrin, made from
corn. Remind him that he must go
back to molasses for a table syrup,
and that candies will be both more
costly and less palatable if deprived
OF the grape-sugar or glucose con-

4 Funny Situation

From the Dublin Times
The whole state is laughing at
the funny situation that has devel-
Oped among some Of our politicians
and newspapers. Those who a few
months ago were as close as two
peas in a pod are now slashing at one
another, and others who no longer
than year ago were not on speak
ing terms politically are now as low
ing as cooling doves. The Atlanta
Journal and Tom Watson, who to-
gether made life miserable for Clark
Howell two years ago, are now trying
to pull each others hair out, and
Col. Pendleton, who not many moons
ago said some pretty hard things
about the Sage of McDuffie, speaks
OF him very gently and pleasantly
when he speaks at all The Atlanta
Journal now calls the Constitution
Tom Watson's press agent, and Tom
Watson says Hoke Smith is trying to
bury him. Altogether 1T is to
laugh"-to wonder what the next
change will be.

grind and no ambition to advance he
will give the state a quiet, dignifed
and business-like administration free
from buncombe and spectacular dis
play, and so much impressed will the
masses of the people be by his horse
sense, ability and independence that
they viii give him another term
