John Wesley's 'Christian Psychology
New York Times.)

In reading John Wesley's journal I
came upon the following passage,
which puts the case of Christian
psychology clearly and Well:
Rejecting to-day on the case of q
poor woman who had a continual pain
in her stomach, | could not but remark
the ineXcusabIe negligence of most
physicians in cases of this nature
They prescribe drug upon drugs with
out knowing a jOt of the matter con-
corning the disorder. And without
knowing this they cannot cure, though
they can murder the patient. Whence
came this WOman's pain? (Which she
would never have told had she never
been questioned about it, From fret
ting for the death of her son. And
what awaited medicines while that
fretting continued? Why then do not
all physicians consider how far bodily
disorders are caused or Influenced by
the mind? And in those cases, which
are utterly out Of their sphere, call in
the assistance of a minister as min
listers, when they find the mind dis
ordered by the body, call in the as
sistance of a physician? But why are
these cases out of their sphere? Be
cause they know not God. 1t follows,
no man can be a thorough physician
without being an experienced Chris
tian"
The same line of argument might be
used to prove that no man can be a
thorough minister without being, or
having as his assistant, an experienced
physician, and this is what the Church
is just beginning to find out.

A New Issue in the State Campaign
Savannah Morning News.)

= Savannah Morning NeWS.)
The gubernatOriaI campaign is get
ting decidedly interesting. Gov. Smith
didn't expect to have opposition and
hence didn't intend to make more
than one or two speeches. Even after
Mr. Brown announced his purpose
to be a candidate he wasn't at all
alarmed. He seemed to view Mr..
Browns candidacy just about as
the candidacy of the Governor was
viewed two years ago by one of his
opponents. Wouldn't it be strange
if the Governor should experience
just such an awakening as his oppo-
nent had in that campaign? He I'M
doubtedly realizes that the tide is
running against him. Instead OF
making only one or two speeches as
he had planned he will devote his
whole time to his campaign. Not
only that, but he has drafted into his
service others who are to appear on
the stump and speak for him.
Now that the prohibition issue has
been eliminated a new issue has been
brought forward 1t is that Little
joe Brown isn't a handsome man
and hence doesn't appear before the
people, and that his campaign deliv-
erances are written for him. Mr..
Brown isn't unknown to the people
of the state. AS railroad commission
er and an emplOye Of two important
railroads he has come into contact
with more Georgians than the aver
age citizen of the state has. It is a
pretty safe proposition that he knew
personally more people of this state
that the Governor did when he an
nounced his candidacy two years ago
Georgians therefore ought TO be pref
ty we'll acquainted with his personal
appearance.
1t may be that he doesn't write the
articles that appear over his sigma
ture, but the chances are that he
does. 1t is fact that he has been
writing articles for the public prints
for a number of years and until he
began his gubernatorial campaign
his authorship of them wasn't ques-
toned. Many of them showed wide
acquaintance with the subjects Of
which they treated and all of them
were clearly and fOrcibly expressed.
1t isn't our purpose, however, to
lend a helping hand to Mr.. Brown in
his contest, but simply to say that the
Governor and his organ will not
greatly nelp tne Governor S cause by
trying to beHttle his opponent. Geor-
gians know what a square deal is
and they will not be influenced by
anthing that doesn't have the flavor
of frankness. For instance the At
| lanta Journal, in an article in its
Tuesdays issue entitled For Beer
Saloons the Fight is On" undertakes
to give the impression that the Morn
ing News approved the fight. The
| Journal knew that it quoted wholly
| from a local article and that the
article together with its headlines
was simply a report Of a meeting of
| the directors of the Chamber of
| Commerce and very correct re-
port. The headlines and the part of
| the article that preceded the reso-
buttons were explanatory of the
meeting and its action.
We. call attention to this matter
simply to show the disposition to
mislead the public and to emphasize
the fact that the public will get the
facts sooner or later. When it gets
them it will feel less like trusting
| those who mislead it.

Georgia Drink AlIuring

w. J. Dolan, secretary of the Savan-
nah Chamber of Commerce, who re-
Gently was in New York to urge
the selection of Savannah as the place
for holding the next Vanderbilt Cup
race, met the objection so unanimous
ly advanced, that Savannah is a pro-
hibitiOn town, by a eulogy on the
quality of the new prohibition beer"
now sold there, and a practical dem
OnstratiOn of it's merits.
Mr.. DOnIan told of his temperance
drink, and inviting several drivers to
a secluded spot, produced a proper
looking bottle bearing a label to
signify that it was the drink TO rthe
white ribbon brigade. They drank and
a look of satisfaction spread over
their countenances.
They drank, again, and still the
wonder grew. Indeed, good feeling
spread, and all voted prohibition
beer" as good as the real article. 1t
was not until two days after that a
select few became aware that Mr.
DOMAINS substitute was good Mil
waukee beer relabeled as the tenn
perance kind.

Gov. Smith and Hard Times


In his speech in Columbus Monday
night Governor Smith denied and
quite emphatically too, of course, that
he had brought on the present bust
ness panic. This is quite a neat pol
itical trick on the part of the COVER
nor, to dramatically deny a charge
which his opponents have not made
against him and then to go into de-
tails to prove that he is not guilty OF
an accusation which has not been
brought against him.
The charge has not been made that
Governor Smith caused the panic
even he is not quite big enough to
have done all that, but we do not be-
lieve there are many obserVant,
thinking business men who do not
credit him with having helped some
what in bringing it about. The prime
mover in starting the panic" was the
man up at the White House, with the
big stick" and his cranky ideas
about the big corporations, the rail
roads, "malefactors of great wealth, -
ETC., etc., His attacks upon capital
and upon the mOneyed interests of
the country at large are what start
ed the panic.
Governor Smith, Governor Conner,
of Alabama Governor Glenn, of
North Carolina and numerous other
politicians of the smaller fry only
trailed along after President Roose-
welt and helped push things along
as they best know how Capital, as
the old saying goes, is timid and
when the lusty reform politicians
opened up on it and began to legis-
late and make threats against it it
went into hiding and much of it is
there yet.
When the governors of Georgia,
Alabama and North Carolina were
campaigning two years ago much of
their speechmaking was against the
railroads in particular and large COR
porations in general The people were
told how they were being robbed of
millions by the railroads and how
those apostles of reform were going
to raise rates, increase taxes and
make these robbers disgorge. Such
talk and such threats and later the
enactment of some of it into law
could have but one effect and that
was not long in being felt. New en-
terprises were stopped, investments
were withdrawn, capital was hoard
ed, the wheels of commerce and in
dustry began to turn but slowly and
the panic" was on. Governor Smith,
nor any other one governor, caused
the panic; Mr. Roosevelt with his
big stick already had capital on
the run and Governors Smith, Conner,
Glenn and the others but joined in
the chase and helped only to the ex-
tent of their ability to drive money
out of its natural channels.

"sOCIETY'Sn LATEST vULGARITY

The divorce courts have thrown
considerable light on the inner life
of American "swelldom" in the past
year or two. The society columns of
the metropolitan newspapers reflect
the inane lives that some of the vot-
aries of fashion live. Some of the
manifestations are ridiculous, some
are indecent, and some indicate a
degree of mentality that would make
an ape blush to think that his tribe
is charged with being the progeni-
tors of such foolish creatures.
With nothing serious to occupy
their time, with no thought of the
great work of the world, with no
care for the suffering, the ignorant,
the overworked, around them by the
untold thousands, the men and wo-
men who denominate themselves
Americas best society seem hard
put to it at times to relieve their
ennui, to devise something new to
drive away dull fostering care. And
in their efforts in that direction they
give exhibitions that for vulgarity
could hardly be surpassed by the
women of the underworld.
The climax in this line seems to
have been reached at an entertain
ment given by the elite of Baltimore.
At the Green Spring Valley Club
near that city, attended by all of
the bon ton of the Maryland metropo-
lis, the guests personified diseases,
more or less horrid, in theri nature.
.Consumptives, dyspeptics, those suf-
.fering from Iocomoter axtaxia, and
other diseases to which human flesh
is heir, were all depicted by men
and women who are presumed to
have sense, and to have been created
in the image of their God. But the
great success of the evening, it ap-
pears, the prize winner, the piece de
resistance, was a beautiful belle, who
personified that loathsome disease,
small pox. On her bare shoulders
and face were the poX, represented
by gum drops made as artistically
realistic as possible. And at the
close of the entertainment, the brave
and chivalrous gentlemen" present,
the swelIs of Baltimore, gathered
about and "nibbled off of her fair
shoulders" the gum that represented
the pOX.
One can hardly refrain from say
ing Great God, what next!" If such
things as this are to mark the high
society" of this country then the
sooner high society" is abolished by
statute, or legal checks put upon its
folIies, the better for American civil
ization and the good name of the
| country.

One at a time they go to a blackboard

Browns Recent Gains.
A National Disgrace.
philadelphia Ledger)

The "neatness and dispatch with
which Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Wander
bilt obtained a divorce from her
multi-milliOnaire husband natural
ly eyokes the query whether the
wheels of justice grind differently
for the very rich in New York than
for the multitude. Even in South
Dakota it requires six months time
Although the period is necessary
merely to establish a residence, yet
the liberal laws of the plains be
come DracOnian when compared to
the Vanderbilt divorce methods in
New York. The application of Mrs.
Alfred Gwnne Vanderbilt is scarcely
two weeks old; a master is appointed;
Alfred conveniently HES himself to
England, and presto! the bonds are
severed and the liberated spouse is
given $5,000,000 and freedom to as
sumo at her will the golden bonds
once more. At least, all this is on the
cards to be announced by the master
today or tomorrow
This episode illustrates the worst
phases of the laxity of our divorce
laws. The marriage VOWS are far
too lightly regarded all over the
country, but the choking atmosphere
of scandal which is rising from the
divorce courts in New York has be-
come a national disgrace, and this
last manifestation is a development
in it's most acute form.

The Georgia State University
(Wm. E. Curtis in Chicago Record
Herald)

The University of Georgia, char
tered by the legislature in 1885, is
the oldest state educational institu-
ton in the United States and was es-
tablished in Athens in 1901. Geor-
gia's common schools, high schools
and this university were formed into
one system more than thirty years
before the establishment of the Uni
versity of Virginia by Thomas Jeffer-
SON. The first commencement exer-
cises occurred here on the campus in
May, 1904, under an arbOr formed OF
the branches of trees.
The original site embraced some
$50 acres of land, upon which a large
number of the fine old mansions of
Athens. with their stately pillars and
their massive oaks, have since been
located Residence sites were sold
off from time to time for the benefit
of the university. This magnificent
tract of land was the gift of John
Milledge, once Governor of Georgia,
from whom the town of Milledgeville
is named.
