The question is often asked why people buy and read The
Capital Journal than before?
Because the people discovering that it has interests
serve, but the common good of all.
It seeks give the without coorng and to discuss ed

An absolutely independent newspaper edited by the man

This does not that such newspaper is nfab does

But does that any reader has right call the ed

EPIDEMIC OF CRIME AND
ITS PORTENTOUS MEANING
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
The epidemic Of crime today the
world over seems to be more intense
than ever before. Newspapers and
magazines not only contain the daily
record of the terrible disorders now
extant, but editors who have to
chronicle the facts of crime are
forced to ask the question, What is
the matter?" In the language of one
editor of a prominent weekly of re-
cent date:
THE world seems to be upset. Agi-
tation, unrest, and distrust prevail.
Kingdoms are being uprooted, mon
arches undermined, while rankest
socialism seeks its day. Great labor
disturbances with loss of life are
chronicled on both sides of the
ocean. Bombs and dynamite do their
fearful work. Lynchings, north and
south, of innocent and guilty, are re-
ported. Mobs gather at slightest
provocation and defy the authorities.
The divorce courts are working over
time. Legislative bodies are de-
bauched by demagogues, and rankest
municipal corruption is widespread.
The blazing sun consumes the crops,
and the water supplies of cities,
great and small, are threatened. The
theaters are crowded, while the pews
of the churches are empty, and re-
ligion is at it's lowest ebb. Under
what sign of the zodiac are we liv-
ing?"
Yet, in the face of this condition
Of affairs, we are told by some that
the world is growing better. Even
the distinguished speaker of the
house of representative maintains
that the world is getting better and
that there is little need of dwelling
upon the facts of crime.
1t is not our purpose to dwell
upon the facts of crime, but we do
believe that this great disorder and
unrest is sign which the bible re-
fers to as marking the closing days
Of this worlds history. Not only
does the Old Testament speak of the
end of the world and the signs which
will show the nearness of that event,
but the New Testament abounds in
many references thereto.
The great Apostle to the gentiles,
being shown the perilous times be-
fore the end, writes:
This know also, that in the last
days perilous times shall come. For
men shall be lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy, without natural
affection, truce breakers, false ac-
cusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers
of those that are good, traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more
than lovers of God" II Timothy 3:1-4.
The Savior said.
There shall be signs in the sun,
and in the moon, and in the stars;
and upon earth distress of nations,
with perpleXity; mems hearts
failing them for fear, and for looking
after those things which are coming
on the earth. -. So likewise ye, when
ye see these things come to pass,
know ye that the kingdom of God is
nigh at hand" Luke 21:25-31.
These are statements from the in
fallible Word written eighteen centu-
ries ago, which speak OF the record
of this time and show that these facts
are to serve as a warning that we
are living in the last days.

To adapt the building to the joint Of the club and Board

The Eks would take in all members of the Ihee club not

Either proposition has advantages and would strengthen the

Baptist Ministers Condemn the of Geor
progress

of Georgia We believe that the
progress of Georgia in the last three
years stands unequaled in the his
tory of the nation. This wonderful
advancement might be attributed in
a general way to two important fac
tors. The first of these is the inter-
est that has been manifested by men
of influence and power throughout
the state. The second is the safety
that has been guaranteed to the
farmers by the prohibition law,
thereby making farm life more at
tractive
I'm the first place, one of the can
didates for governor stands out as a
prominent figure in the development
that has taken place in agriculture.
This man has farmed not only by
theory, but by practice as well.
Georgia has never more needed a
man at the head of it's government
who is in sympathy with the agri-
cultural interests, and who is quail
fed to bring about greater achieve
ments in the future, than we have
enjoyed in the past.
The other great factor, prohibi-
ton, in progressive farming has not
mad a more earnest advocate and a
better friend than this same man.
The present prohibition law has been
a great blessing to the people of the
state, but if it has helped one class
more than another this class is the
farmer. For many years farm labor
has been in a demOralized condition.
due largely to the intemperance of
the negro. More fields have gone
uncultivated and more cotton crops
unpicked on account of the intern
perance of the negro than all other
causes combined. The present pro-
hibitiOn law has helped materially in
remedying this evil, and if the law
had been enforced more rigidly the
benefit would have been much great
er. We are thoroughly convinced
that there is being made desperate
effort to destroy the prohibition law,
and thereby give Georgia open sa-
looms to tempt crimes. Since the
enactment of the prohibition law
school children and women can tray
ell the roads with much greater safe
ty than in former years.
This question is decidedly the
most important issue in the cam
paign, and the farmers should every
one turn out on December Z and see
to 1t that no backward step is taken. -

Reformers of Kansas City, Mo-, Take
an Advanced Step.
A divorce proctor, whose salary is
to be paid from a fund raised by the
reform organization of this city to
cope with the divorce evil, assumed
office here this week, says a Kansas
City, Mo, dispatch. The Office was
established as the result of criticism
of the too easy divorce machinery of
the county. AS a result of lax laws
mismated couples have come to this
city from various places and been
granted separations on slight pre-
texts and after short residences. To
prevent the continuance the proctor
has been appointed.
He will have power to summon
witnesses, to go into other states and
take dispositions and to cross-exam-
inc witnesses at the trial here of per-
sons who seek legal separations.
Judges, attorneys and the reform
leaders interested predict the office
will become general in the country
The Kansas Bar Association has I'M
der consideration a plan to appoint
proctors in the large cities of the
state.

in this city was one to four last year
AS many as so divorces have beer
granted in one day and recently Is
suits were filed in a day.

BAPTIST
Liquor Men.


Georgia's prohibition situation
was Endorsed by the Baptist Minis
ters' Conference in session Monday
by the adoption of the following res
olutiOns:
1T having come to the attention
of this body that there is now in our
state much agitation concerning the
prohibition law, which has been upon
our statutes for several years, and
working as successfully as any law
might we'll be expected, we, there
fore, go on record as heartily in ia
vor of retaining that which we have
already gained and further adding to
this law such other laws as will
strengthen the same.
I'VE, therefore, deplore the pres
ent agitation, which originated not
from the best sentiment of this state,
but from the liquor interests, who
are Outlawed from this state.
In consequence of this we should
deplore the election of any man to
the Office of governor who stands as
a friend to the liquor and brewery
interests, believing that it would be
a step backward that would require
years Of hard work to overcome"

Tho seoldina Love Bird.

Those love BIRDS" said keeper in
the aviary at the Bronx zoo, "are more
like human beings in their actions and
characters than any birds we have in
the place. The male, which, you see,
has little blue spot on it's beak, is as
gentle and affectionate as pet dog,
but the female is a regular shrew, and
that's the only word by which to de-
scribe her. She pecks and scolds at
her mate, and often I have seen her
lower her head and shove him off the
perch. Sometimes she will chase him
about the cage, jabbering at him like
an old hag. The male seems to put up
with it as patiently as q henpecked
husband. He never tries to retaliate,
and it isn't on account Of fear either.
The old lady acts the same way with
me. When I speak to her she scolds
at me. The mate seems to appreciate
