The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-09-05

Atlanta will not be able to attend
the public schools there this year,
because of the poverty of their par
ents, which will prevent the children
from being supplied with books and
suitable clothing
If this is true of Atlanta-the
richest city in the South, what must
be the conditions in the country dis
tTicts?
Georgia's badge of shame is the
percentage Of l4iiterateacy, which
places her at the head of the South
ern States.
The Legislature which has just
closed, has done absolutely nothing
to better the conditions for the rank
and file which elected those members
OF that august body and in this
way it has kept up the average of
donothingness which has marked so
many previous sessions of the Legis-
lature.
If it would do any good, one would
feel inclined to class the great body
Of Georgia farmers as goats.
Ruminative, caring little for the
future, browsing contentedly in the
fields his father browsed before him,
by his lack Of interest and his refus-
ing to demand what he has long been
entitled to, he sees his children de-
prived of the one thing needed to
start them in life, able to compete
with the sons and the daughters of
the rich
Free school books should be the
slogan of every man who pays a dol

farmers have interested themselves
in the matter?
The higher cost of food and cloth
ing have been matters which the far
mer has left for the gracious con-
sideration of his Congressman and
Senator; and right we'll have those
worthless served THE Interests in
the matter.
Be the crop of cotton never so
large, it does the farmer little good.
The market is "glutted" and he
takes eight cents a pound for what
: it has cost him ten to raise.
If the crop is short, and the South
ern planter imagines he can secure a
good price by holding, he is again
"the victim of circumstances by
means of the elastic tariff which let's
in the things he doesn't need and
keeps out the things he does need,
badly.
The recent political campaign in
Georgia is a fair sample of others
which shows the too-trusting dispo-
sition Of the farmer-who really
holds ninety per cent of the balance
Of power, if he would only realize it.
He selects his candidate and he
votes for him; then he places his
veto power in the hands of a COM
mittee that does as it pleases which
is, oftenest, a total disregard for the
majority.
In the matter Of selecting legisla-
tors, the operation is about the same:
the rank and file "elect," but the
chosen few direct
If the coming session is to find
fewer pupils attending Georgia S
puDIic ScAOols, confessedly because
they are too poor to be provided
with the needed clo~Aing and books,
isn't 1t time for the people of this
State to rouse themselves?

Is "the Empire State of the
South" going to fall down on duty
as urgent as this?
Isn't it rather odd that preachers
do not interest themselves more in
this matter?
Surely they, next to doctors, must
know the horrible results of the
grinding poverty which puts a pre-

James Abram Garfield was young

James Abram Garfield was young
Ng-.n VINO had a magnificent start as
canal pilot and could have risen
to the top of the. profession, but who
| ruined his chance in this line by
quitting work and going to college,
Many of the oldest canal men on
the old Ohio canal back i'll the late
forties pied with young Garfield to
stick to his work and rise until he
had a canal boat of his own and
could smoke all day on the after
deck. but he was headstrong and
would not do SO. Instead he went to
college and Joined q Greek letter So
ciety, raised whiskers and helped
duck freshmen in the presidents
horse trough. This affected his
mind so that he became president of
a college himself for short time.
But his frivolous nature made him
resign once more, Just as things We're
coming his way, and become law
yer.
No sooner had young Garfield done
this than he got himself elected to
the Ohio senate, thus eluding client
who had almost decided to retain
aim, And he had no sooner become
a power in the Senate than he threw
way his chances once more and
vent south as lieutenant colonel Of
Ga Ohio regiment in the Civil war.
Young Garfield had now frittered
lway his life until he was 80 years

An Echo From the Crusades

The Balkan war il one more chap
ter In the war between Mohammedan
ism and Christianity. II is not only
an echo OF the crusades. but finishes
the work Of the crusaders.
In this connection it is gratifying
that there is at least some disposi
ton to do justice to the memory of
Richard Couer de Lion, leader oi
the third crusade Richards s reputa-
tion has suffered at the hands Of his
hiograpliers and all because of some
minor flaws In his character, for
which the age in which he Hyel
and his heredity were more respon
sible than was the man himself.
Most Of the biographers are Eng
lish, and they cannot forgive Richard
because as king of England he
taxed the relm and spent SO much
time abroad. This is typicallE
British view. Without these taxes
and absences it would have been inn
possible to carry on the crusade al
all. 1t is also charged that he was
violent of temper, but the times wert
fiolent, and only man Of fore
could hace carried through the enter
prises in which this lion hearted
king was engaged 1t il charged
likewise that he warred against his
father. True, but he had great pro-
vocation. The character of Henry
1T. was such that almost any self ro
specting son would have warred
against him Richard believed and
apparently with good cause that this
unnatural father had aIienated the
affections OF Richards wife.
Richard /, was one Of the bravest
and creates warriers Of the middle
ages, a great soul amid petty IN
trigues and an almost impossible elt-
vironu.e ent. ChateYer the small brood
Of biographers may say, he showed
deep religious feeling. 1t needs q
Carlyle to interpret the rough nobil-
ity and beauty OF his character
No small soul is equal to the task.
Richard was poet as we'll as war
rior. He was magnanimous and for
giving in the face Of great wrongs
He forgave his brother John for try
ing to steal his throne and with his
dying breath forgavc his assassin
