in his home, was secret message that he was
loyal to the exiled cheftain's cause.
Ion was the name bestowed upon the violet by
the imaginative Greek who loved to people the
petals of every blossom and the rpples of every
rl with fair creations of their fancy. According
to mythology the name was derived from Ia, the
daughter of Midas and the betrothed of Atys. The
story that Diana, desiring to conceal the
maid from Apollo transformed her into a violet.
Another myth about the birth of the flower says
that Jupiter caused the first violetS to spring
from the earth food for the prosecuted Ia

heifer from the fury Of Juno

to be message bearers of joy and hope, lifting
their faces to the blue skies in happy worship
rather than in sadness. 1t seems to be natural
for poets to give names and human attributes
to plants, but the beauty loving Greeks went
farther along the path OF fancy They invented
human originals for their favorite flowers and
made beautiful legends to account for the trans
formation. The lovely narcissus. according TO
their lore was once a handsome young god who
became SO lost in admiration of his own shadow
that he cruelty sighted the affections of the fair
Echo. As a punishment for this crime he was
changed into narcssus, the flower of self love.
Shakespeare alludes TO another romantic
legend In his winter Tale" The narcissus was
said to have been the flower that the daughter
of Ceres was gathering when she was carried
off by Pluto # internal region fame. The nigh
goddesses also chose it for their ancient coronet,
and Il was a highly important factor in the cUs-

great fancy for this flower They use 1t in many

TT was Samuel Adams, one of
the greatest founders of the
United States, who said that
truth loves an appeal to the
common sense of mankind"
1t was this thought which made
him powerful
1t made him the greatest Dem
ocratic leader of New England in
the eighteenth century.
He was born in Boston in 1922,
when all New Englanders were
royalists. He was born rich. His
family made money out of brew
cry. He lost money in politics,
so that when he died in 1903 he
had barely enough to pay for his
funeral.
He had helped to found the
United States. He held office
many years, but he was afraid
to make money.
This was the only thing he was
afraid of. He was afraid that
if he did not keep himself as poor
as most other people he would
lose his common sense.
He meant by common sense the
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-06-23

sense people have when they are
trying to be fair TO each other in
stead of over reaching and cheat
ing.
If he found a man who could
not read, trying not to cheat and
over reach others, he thought
him a better Judge of truth than
a prime minister. He believed
that God made all men with sense
enough to be honest.
At a time when he would have
been hanged by a Tory prime
minister, if caught, he said that
truth loves an appeal to the COM
mon sense Of mankind, and that
He who made all men, made the
truths necessary for human hap
piness obvious to all"
This was his answer after he
had been declared a traitor.
He spent his life trying to prove
that politics may be improved by
less cheating and shooting. He
thought that finally nearly every
one would agree with him that
common honesty and common
sense are enough TO make the best
government on earth.

No man can be happy without those
three blessings. Any man can be
happy with them.
Even though he is saddened by the
sorrow he sees about him; the sor-
row which results from striving after
the needless things of earth; after
more than We need; after what does
not belong to US; after the possessions
of others
There would be no war; no indus
trial problems; no prisons; no poor
houses; no white slaves; no sex sins:
if men and women all set forth early
in life on that threefold quest-for
peace of mind, for self-respect, for
the love of their fellow men.
That is all any soul is seeking; that
is all any soul desires; because that
is all there is in life worth living for.
Yet is there war. and strife; and ha-
tired; and sin; and sorrow and an
guish; and misery and poverty.
Because men have not yet learned
that there is only one need in the
world.
Ana the need ut the world is
LOVE.

Bellamy, Jr, records was that
civilization had responded to the
restraint of the Dictograph and
that its abuse was inconsiderable
beside the manifest improvement
in the tone and quality Of human
conduct
Perils of Privacy.
The Dictograph is not all a
joke.
The exaggeration of its posi-
bilities is not a reductio ad alb
surdum.
The irresistible movement to-
ward relentless publicity it sym
bolizes is profoundly supported
in social intelligence.
The perils of privacy, secrecy
and the suppression of facts are
realized.
The basic religious conviction
that Deity sees, hears and knows
is at work day and night to justi-
fy the increasing passion of hui
mainly to see, hear and know.
Tho Christian assurance that
nothing is secret that shall not
be made manifest; neither any
thing hid that shall not be known
and publish itself abroad is the
moral sanction of publicity as the
contamination of the highest
civilization.
The cry Of IAfe is light! More
light! Light everywhere!" The
protest of Death lis the cry for
privacy and suppression.
The man who loves darkness
better than light is under cosmio
condemnation. The guardians of
. public health ruthlessly placard
the places of disease.
The opponents of moral health
also are every day holder and
holder in disregard of any chal-
Ienge of personal secrecy which
conceals sources of moral con-
tagion.
The old sanctity Of wrong I'M
der the cover of private rights is
an exploded theory of social re-
lations.
In whatever concerns the pub
lie safety the public has a right
to the facts.
The outcry against the publ
cation of the Standard Oil letters
made no appeal to the American
conscience.
The Good of Publicity.
In England the divorce evil is
treated as a public matter, and
not even the nauseous details are
withheld from the public eye.
Those who object TO the appli-
cation of that rule in this coun-
try should show better reasons
for secrecy and privacy in be-
half of domestic intidelities than
the Fulton County divorce courts
afford.
The world adjusted to the law
of publicity is the good promise
of the times, and the Searchlight,
the Newspaper and the Dicto-
graph are its prophetic tokens.

THE OLD ROMANS
BY WILLIAM F. KIRK

STTHEY strutted into the bar ROOM
Three boys-they nothing more;
They ordered their drinks with grins and winks
While their heels hit hard the floor.
When Of them grew less frisky
And seemed half ready sink
Cried the others "Aw, one more whisky,
That's a good old Roman drink"
Then I thought of the real odd Romans"
That | knew long years ago
When stuck to the corn from night till
As fast the stuff could flow.
There Billy O'Keefe of Denver
Too bad poor Billy is dead
He could pack away three quarts a day
And rattle his head
There Jack MCGEE Of the Morning Bee,
And Flynn of the Fourth Estate
Larry McCae Of the Portland Mail
All dead before thirtyeight
There Blake Of the Brooklyn Bugle
And Grant Of the Memphis sun,
And a dozen more maybe a score,
Whisky got them by one.
I felt the that unbidden starts
When I thought it hurt like knife
OF the nimbe brains and the golden heart~
All stilled in the prime of life
Then I walked from the noisy bar
And muttered a prayer to God
For the souls Of the real old Romans"
