SWEET SIXTEEN.

And now comes the distinguished
scholar DR.. G. Stanley Hall with the
statement that girls turning sixteen
are absolutely irreligious.
What a long time it has taken this
learned pedagogue to discover what
every man knows! The average. man
could have given the learned doctor
two in the deal and have beaten him
to the correct conclusion every time
on this particular matter.
The eminent psychologist goes on to
say that for the foregoing reason
girls of this tender age are devoted TO
rats, puffs, psyche knots, fudge, gig
giles and other ephemeral things. Dr.
Hall showed his comparative inorance
of the situation in attempting to name
the many things to which the average
girl of sixteen is devoted, because
her interest may be turned to almost
anything under the sun which doesn't
require unnecessary cerebration and
WHICH Will dlIOfu uSf lduSu OF al
hours pastime.
Dr. Hall might have gone further
and said THAT for this very reason
the girl of sweet sixteen is the most
interesting creature under the sun.
One doesn't know where to place her,
for she defes definition or cata-
loguing. When one thinks he has
solved the problem, the girl gives him
a merry chase and breaks out some
where else. She has all that indefiN-
able charm that comes with youth and
the time when nothing serious enters
into her makeup, for she thinks not
of tomorrow.
Wonder if DR.. Hall really waited I'M
til he was gray-haired to study the
psychology of the girl of sixteen. Al
most every fellow takes turn at it
little earlier in life.

THE STRENUOUS ONE AGAIN.

He won't be satisfied until he gets
into the game again.
That is a brief summary of the situ-
alton presented by Colonel Roosevelt
in regard to the political situation.
Notwithstanding his announced inten-
ton to the effect that he would spend
at least two months in this country
before he would express any opinions
on political matters the strenuous ex-
president is practically in the game
now.
Such is the aggressive nature of this
paragon of American politics that ne
cannot refrain from entering again
into the field of endeavor which gives
so excellent and opportunity for the
exercise Of his native talents. AS TO
what position Colonel Roosevelt Will
occupy in his return to politics. there
seems but little doubt Already he
seems to have pretty clearly befriend-
ed the Insurgents, though he is hailed
by some as a party harmonizer. What
ever position he occupies will be one
of influence, for his personal popular
ity seems to be as wide as ever.
1t is even limited by some that he is
now paving the way to the presidency.
The truth of this remains to be seen,
as the interesting developments I'M

PROHIBITION is CONSTITUTIONAL

The friends of prohibition through
out the staff will be gratified at the
decision that has just been handed
down by the Supreme court of the
state relative to the constitutionality
Of the prohibition law.
The Supreme court has just decided
that the grounds upon which the pro-
hibition law has been attacked in the
case of Whitley against The State. are
not valid. The main basis upon which
the suit was instituted was that the
prohibition law as passed by the SEN
ate and the house. were different doc
uments, as the senate changed the
amended bill that was submitted to j.
by the house for ratification. This
was claimed to be violative of articlt
3, section Z, paragraph 4, of the Con
stitution.
The other ground upon which the
attack was based was that the prohi-
bition bill violated another section of
the Constitution relative to the main
tenance Of the public schools by a
Iportion of the tax derived from the sale
of malt and spirituous liquors. Both
grounds were declared by the supreme
tribunal of the state as lacking in
validity for the basis of a logical OBJ
lection to the enforcement of the pro-
hibition law There is no reason TO
believe that the members of the SUI
preme court have been actuated by
any other than the highest motives Of
Justice and legal fairness in arriving
at this conclusion with reference to
the mooted question as to the validity
of the prohibition law.
1t is believed by those who are in a
position to know that this practically
puts an end to all attacks upon the
validity of the prohibition law. The
Whitley case is one of several thai
have been instituted by those oppos ed
to the law in order that they might
break down the prohibition law, but
this recent decision of the Supreme
court will likely put an end to further
litigation of this kind.
The real danger to the prohibition
law does not lie in the fact that it is
likely to be proved unconstitutional,
The fact that public sentiment is so
lax in securing an enforcement of the
law has done more than anything else
to bring it into i'll repute. 1t is motor
ious that the law is being violated
more or less in every section Of the
state. There are some sections where
absolutely no attention is paid to the
law except to arrest occasionally a
violator of the Sunday ordinance that
has been passed by some cities. 1t has
been proved beyond doubt that the law
will prohibit only where public senti-
ment stands back Of it,

THE HARMFUL SPARRG w.

The attention of the public is being
called to the noXious qualities OF the
common English sparrow.
In this connection, the bill of Repre-
sentative Sheppard, of Sumter county,
is well worthy of consideration.
The question is one that is not only
local but national in its Importance
No less distinguished authority than
the United States Department of Agri-
culture Las recently issued a bulletin
telling of the harm done by these bird
pests and asking the citizens of the
nation to cooperate in the extinction
OF these feathered bandits
From the deductions of the govern
ment experts who have carefully in
yestigated every phase of the question,
thtre seems to be no doubt that the lit
tie good that is accomplished by the
sparrow is far unbalanced by the
harm that it does. The conclusion
therefore, is easily reached that the
sparrow should be exterminated.
The big question, however, that
faces the people of the nation is how
is this to be accomplished The fed
eral' Department. of Agriculture rec
ommends that the eggs and young Of
the sparrow be destroyed universally
and consistently by the people of the
country in order that the constantly
increasing supply of these birds may
thus be diminished and, if possible, ex-
tinguished
1t isn't matter Of aesthttics, for
the person who can see anything Of
the sublime or beautiful in the inces-
SAINT and noisy chatter of the sparrow
or the filthy and vermin-inhabited nest
which it insists on building right in
our very homes, is manifestly strain
ing a point in favor of a bird that is
practically worthless. The sparrow is
a perennial insult to the intelligence
and good judgment OF the American
people. Imported into this country
for the purpose of eXterminating in
sect pests, the sparrow has proved re-
creant to every trust by persistently
making a living on anything except an
insect diet. The law offers no protec-
ton to tht sparrow which may be
killed at any time of the year.
Is it worth the price for the people
of Georgia to rid themselves of this
bird pest by offering a bounty for each
bird killed? hat is the question to be
settled. One thing to be considered is
whether the offering of a bounty will
accomplish the desired result. 1t
seems that it would at least make the
sparrows more comfortably scarce, if
it would not lead to their extermina-
ton. 1t can hardly fail Of good results
at any rate. 1t is feared that the
members of the legislature will con-
slider the expense involved a prohib
tory feature and fail to pass what is a
commendable effort to rid our homes,
public buildings and thoroughfares Of
a worthless pest. ;,

There We're seven fishers, with nets in

And they walked and talked by the

Yet sweet as the sweet daW-fall
The words they spoke, though they

Across the long, dim centuries flow,
And we know them, one and all
Ay! know them and love them all.
'Tis long ago, yet faith in our souls
Is kindled just by that fire of Goals

Where Peter, girding his fishers coac,
Went over the net and out of the boat,
To answer Lowest thou me-?
