Not Fool Proof.

The statements of survivors
show plainly enough that the
Titanic was simply not fool proof.
No ship that can ever be made
can be put through the darkness
at twenty knots or more an hour
in the region of floating icebergs
and not court death. The Titan
les loss, unequaled in dimen-
sions, as measured by the toll
of human lite and property in all
of the history of seafaring, was
the end, and not the illogical end
of the greatest joy ride the
world has ever seen. The spirit

A Pen Picture Of Christ.

The following epistle is said to
have been taken by Napoleon from
the records of Rome when he de-
prived that city of so many valu-
able manuscripts. 1t was writ
ten at the time and on the spot
where Jesus commenced his
ministry, by Publius LentuIus,
Governor of Judea, to the Senate
of Rome, Caesar, Emperor. 1t
was the custom in those days for
the Governor to write home any
event that transpired while he
held his office.
Conscript Fathers: In these
days appeared a man named
Jesus Christ who is yet living
among US, and of the Gentiles is
accepted as prophet of great
truth: but his own disciples call
him the Son of God. He hath
raised the dead and cured all
manner of diseases. He is a
man of stature somewhat tall
and comedy, with a ruddy coun-
tenance, such as the beholder
may both love and fear. His
hair is the color of a filbert when
fully ripe, plain to his ear,
whence down ward it is more of
Orient color, curling and waving
on his shoulders. In the middle
of his head is a seam of long
hair, after the manner of the
NazriteS. His forehead is plain
and delicate; the face without
spot or wrinkle, beautiful with a
comely red: his nose and mouth
are exactly formrd; his beard is
the color of his hair and thick,
not of any length, but forked.

TIE Power of Money.

A we'll known hotelkeeper of
New York gave, not long ago, a
banquet, at which was displayed
and used service of gold plate,
valued at $4,000. Someone
commented on the costliness of
the dinner, whereupon the pro-
prietor said:
1t is only typically American.
In elegance as in wealth we lead
the world to-day. We have
passed that stage in our develop
ment wherein the newly rich
studying the French menu in
despair used to tell the waiter to
bring him $50 worth of ham and
eggs. And we have passed that
stage where if a child should
whisper to its mother, Mamma,
Uncle Goldreef eats with his
knife, the mother would reply;
Hush darling? Your Uncle
Goldreef is so rich that he can
eat with a pick and shovel if he
so desires.

A Mexican Holy War.

Of course only the most ignor-
ant class of greasers" are appeal
ed to by the call for warriors for
a holy war" against the United
States. Holy wars have gone very
much out of style. In the good
old days of early Monhammed-
onism the gathering of converts"
with the battle axe and scimitar
was in fashion, and before that
it was fashionable in many coun-
tries. In recent centuries not
even the Turks have had the eff
frontery to call a war of invasion
or any other kind of war, holy.
Our contemporaries Ell. Dairie
and Del. Negar, who are calling
upon Mexicans to fight Ameri-
cans, are merely endeavoring to
incite a mob. 1t is strange that
anyone ignorant enough to ad-
yocate holy war in the twen-
tieth century, or ignorant enough
to advocate Mexican war aginst
the United States, should be at
the helm of a newspaper. The
damphool element on both sides
of the Rio Grande seems to desire
a war that nobody with brains
enough to grease the proverbial
gimlet. either Mexican or Amer
lean, desires.-Frankfort News.

a record" was just the spirit in
which an automobile is driven at
sixty miles an hour By a royster-
ing crowd home bound from an
all-night restaurant or a road
house. That no ship can with
stand such a blow as the Titanic
received is, and was, perfectly
well known to the officers of the
company. The explanation of
how she was struck, and why
the watertight bulkheads did not .
prevent her from sinking, makes
that plain enough. The price of .
1,6O0 lives and 100000 was
paid for trying to smash record
IN waters that are not at all safe
at this time of the year even for
crafts making slow time and ex-
ercising caution.
In all of the story of seafar-
ing, with its multifarious trag-
edies, there is nothing to COM
pare with the throwing away of
1000 lives and the greatest ship
in the world by a course just as
culpable as that of a man who
drives his motor recklessly and is
considered, when he hits the
ditch, to get what is coming to
him. But in that case the risk
was taken by hundreds of pas
sengers who did not realize it's
magnitude, and who had no con-
troll over the manner in which
the ship was driven. All that
they knew was that they were
aboard a ship believed to be I'M
sinkable. Their lives were in
the hands of others. To carry
the joy riding comparison fur
ther, the wreck of the Titanic
was somewhat like the wreck of
a big touring car full of orphans
on a Louisville boulevard a year
or so ago. The passengers, like
the orphans, had no part in the
management of the machinery
that was taking them to death at
a criminal rate of speed and
without regard to results.
/ Since the days when the Phoe-
nician mariners crept westward
along the coasts of the Mediter-
ranean to the Pillars of Hercu-
les" and looked upon what they
regarded as the end of the world,
caution and seafaring men have
been supposed to go hand in
hand. Sensible mariners have
always had a wholesome respect
for the power of the sea as de-
stroyer. Such advances in ship
building as have been made do
not warrant the throwing aside
OF all caution and "sp. hitting"
through fleets of icebergs at the
speed of railroad train. And
no advance that will ever be
made will warrant it.
The wreck does not prove yes
sells of the size of the Titanic
impracticable. 1t simply proves
that the twentieth century con-
fest for translantic records ON
on the northern route" in the
period when the water is made
perilous by icebergs is sheer
madness and murder. The ma
tions should protest against it

State of Georgia.
Executive Department,
Atlanta. October Is, 1912.

TIME strange figure of bird
4 wrought in steel, which was
recently presented to the Brit
ish museum, has been briefly de-
scribed as the sacred peacock of the
Yezidis. Its claim to the title is
disputed by Mr. Athelstan Riley. He
writes that as he visited the cele-
brated Temple of the Devil in 1886,
before its destruction in 1892, and,
indeed, is probably the only living
European who has been in the
building In its original condition, he
took the opportunity of visiting the.
British museum to see the peacock:
One glance confirmed my suspi-
cions-the bird had nothing what
ever to do with the Yezidis or their
temple. 1t is a Persian peacock of
the usual type, a very familiar or
nament to all who know Persia, and
the figures which decorate the tail
are not presentations of Sheikh
Adj or Malik Tawus, but the ordi-
nary illustrations of Firdusi's Shah
mama, the great epic of the Persian
kings, as a cursory examination of
any of the manuscipts-and there
must be hundreds in the possession
of the museum authorities-would
show.
IF anybody paid some thou
sands of pounds for this impudent
bird, he was grievously swindled.
1t is a good specimen of Persian
work, going back perhaps zoe years;
an expert could date it with fair
accuracy. I doubt whether a deal
err would give ten pounds $500 for
it, he would not if he were famil-
lar with the bazars of the East
