Public sentiment is 4 strange and
elusive force. 1t sometimes fails
TO respond, in spite Of every effort to
arouse its interest in worthy cause.
Again, it suddenly asserts itself, with
out any known reason. one of the
stran"est of recent manifestations of
this force of public sentiment is the
present crusade against the CommoA

abolshn2 the common drinking cup
in all public places State after
state took it up. There was no
concerted movement; dhere was
scarcely any organization behind it;
there was little special effort need
Cd The people had evidently made
up their minds that common drinking
cups were bad and must go. So
they have abolished them in at least
twentyfour states in a little more

The author of the Phillips bill Is
something of a humorist He explains
that he desnres to abolish the Ed
mond normal because the young are
in sight of the road houses and other
evil influence of Oklahoma City.
That being the case, what could be
more natural than turning the inst
tuition into a school for the blind D.
That is one G~ss which cannot be
contaminated by the sight of wicked
ness.-Ada News

The matter of distribution of the
state institutions of learning is some
thing that should not be decided hast
lily and above everything else partf-
san or factional differences should
not control the action of the voters.
AS Mr.. Pearson pointed out long ago
the small colleges, scattered in va
rious sections, do more to dissent
nate knowledge and educate more
peopel than the great central uni
versites. The latter are better for
graduate work but the smaller institu-
tions reach more students in a per
sonal Way-NeWs Capital.
Statistics show that in the four
years 1868 the cost Of living in
creased 81 per cent, while the in
crease in wages was only II per cent
In other words the cost Of living
has increased , l-3 times as fast as
the ability to earn q living This
result is largely due to the nigh pro
tective tariff. which increases the
cost of necessities without a CORE

that we ought to have 1t. 1 can't think of one solitary reason why At lanta shouldn't have it; but I do see a number of reasons which to my mind make it necessity.
 Since 1877 I have been actively connected with the city government in one way or another-as member of council, as mayor of the city, for a long time on the police board, and en the board of education and public charities.
 After full deliberation I believe commission government to be the pest thing for all interests, from every viewpoint.
 Tt takes too long t) accomplish anything under the present syste n. It is too unwieldly and too cumAer- some. There is no responsible head the people can look to

OUR NATURAL SAVAGERY.
it Will at Times Break Through the
 Veneer of Civilization.


 It's a mighty short step from modern civilization to the natural impulses of ancient savagery. If you don't believe 1t just watch some time, and you'll see small boy-or grown man-dis- cover a rabbit
 The first thought that comes into his mind is to kill the rabbit Quickly he searches his mind to see where a weapon can be found.
 The second thought is to secure a rock to throw at it. just as some cave man might.
 A man finds snake coiled in the road It may. be a harmless snake, but it's a snake, and therefore his primitive instinct calls upon him to kill 1t.
 A weapon! He seeks about for club. just as his ancient, skin clothed ancestors would have done. and hay ing secured the club, he dispatches the snake, his soul singing with tri umph.
 Modern civilization probably would have urged the man to cut a forked stick and catch the snake by the neck with 1t, then to secure 10 cents worth of chloroform and kill it swiftly and painlessly. But he goes after the club just as naturally as if he had never seen steam heated flat or ridden on trolley car or seen an automobile.
 Children roam in the woods and eat every variety of berry they can find It nlatters not If they be poisonous. They taste them all from the looks. and the amount eaten depends on the taste. This is probably what the cave children did, and the modern infants show the same intelligent caution re garding what they put in their mouths
 It's that way all through. We may have acquired a more or less thick veneer of modern civilization but let emergencies arise and we're as prini- tive as the most primitive of our an. cestors.-Galveston News.

The Terrible Police,

When the scheme was first preached fierce opposition developed to the es- tablishment of London's metropolitan police in September 1929. Police to patrol the streets of London? Such a scheme was .'repugnant to the spirit of English law and to the theory of free government" according to an editorial in the Standard of the day. "As sys. tenn of clandestine intelligence the thing Is complete" 1t went on. ''The low constable is instructed to make himself acquainted with the inhabit- ants of every house within his beat And how Is this information to be ob. tained but by the pumping of the serv ants?''
