WRITTEN FOR THE GEORGIAN
By REV. DR.. JOHN E. WHITE
Pastor Second Baptist Church

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 possi-
bilities is not a reductio ad alb =
surdum.
The irresistible movement to-
ward relentless publicity 1t 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-
fly the increasing passion Of hui
mainly to see. hear and know.
The 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 Life is Light! More
light! Light everywhere" The
protest of Death is the cry for
privacy and suppression.
The man who loves darkness
better than light is under cosmic
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-
lenge 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 appu-
cation Of that rule in this coun-
try should show better reasons
for secrecy and privacy in be-
half of domestic infidelities 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.

Ii the real problems, Of So
"A ciety have been antici-
pated. The progress Of
modern times is manifest in the
good answers we are making to
ancient questions.
The Dictograph, for instance,
is the New Invention Of which
Old Necessity is the Mother. The
Celestial Society of Olympus,
which the Romans created to
furnish ideals and to set up stan
dards of judgment on mundane
matters, considered It.
Momus reported to Jupiter that
the great evil among men was
secrecy and deceit. He COM
planned against Jupiter that he
ought to have provided a glass
window in every human breast,
just over the heart. so that the
inward truth of mems thoughts
would be accessible to everybody,
so that deceit would have been
impossible.
He made such a row about 1t
that he was kicked out of Heaven.
The Dictograph is a sop to
Momus, but the fate of Momus
is a warning to the photographer.
The application Of this little Edi
sonic device to human affairs will
arouse all the modern pagan Flu
ries.
Some Possibilities.
This interesting little instru-
ment is the sign of the New Age,
Of which publicity is the watch
word.
Another Edward Bellamy may
now tell US of it's development
and application to progress in the
year A. D. $500. The addition Of
a Photographic attachment was
the next step Of invention to in
crease it's effectiveness.
In the highly organized society
of the year $500 the government
had provided Dictographs in
every home, hotel room and pri-
vate office. A central receiving
station was arranged for the
record of disgraceful family dis
putes, star-chamber conferences
and political conspiracies.
The Photographic device was
employed for Pan Hellenic ball
rooms, with a special corps of
operators between 3 and o'clock
in the morning, to obtain truth

the turkey trot" After midnight
cabs and automobiles were equip

During sessions of the Georgia
Legislature, in the hotels and
boarding houses and private din
ner parties at the houses of poll
ticians, it was found particularly
useful.

YOUR THANKSGIVING BIRD
WILL PROBABLY COST A TWO
DOLLAR BILL THIS YEAR.
Turkeys Are Scarce and Certain to
Be High This Month, Is the
Present Outlook.

The toothsome, delicious Thanks
giving turkey may, perhaps, be on its
way to the marts of trade in Dawson,
but the aforesaid bird has not put III
its appearance as yet.
Reports are that the supply this
year will be very light according to
the present outlook, and it is quite
probable that turkeys will be higher
than in years.
In other words, it is the belief now
that the cost Of the Thanksgiving
dinner this year will be greater than
in past years, This is based upon
the fact that the supply Of turkeys
will be slim, and in the event that
the fowl is passed up because of its
high value even the native pork
ham will be found up, the quota
lions showing at 20 cents the pound.
What condition has caused the
scarcity of turkeys the dealers are
unable to say. From a canvass of
the situation, however, it appears
that the average countryman, who
in former years raised the fowl, has
discontinued his efforts in this direc-
ton, for at best the turkey is hard
bird to raise, and where in former
years great focks were reared for
the holiday season the chicken has,
in the main, replaced the turk.

SMITH RETURNS TO CAPITAL
Senator VIII Probably Not Return TO
Georgia Until Congress AdjOurns

ATLANTA.-Se Hoke Smith

rious illness a week ago brought him
hurriedly to Atlanta. Mrs. Smiths
condition has improved and it is ex-
pected will be further benefited by
the low altitude at Washington,
which usually relieves the asthma
from which she suffers.
Senator Smith will probably not
be in Georgia again, except possibly
for day or two, until after the
adjournment of congress next sum-
mer. He expects, however, that the
session will end by the first of June
and that he will be able to spend
the summer months with his friends
and constituents in Georgia. The
extra session has disposed of the tar
if bill and has made such progress
with the currency bill that it will
be passed early in the regular ses-
sion.
By next spring congress will have
been in almost continuous session fol
two and half years.

DOG HAS TO SEE PICTURES
His Owner Finds Him Sitting in IA
Chair in Front Row and Now
He Goes in Free.

RUSHVILLE, Ind.-Mr. and Mrs
Lee Thomas have a dog named Noisy
that displays as much interest in
moving pictures as most persons. lie
had the habit of following Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas down town each night
and into a moving picture show. he
became a nuisance, and they drove
him back several evenings only to
find him in the show later.
Finally they thwarted him by lock
ing him up. But this scheme was
soon fathomed by Noisy, and Mrs.
Thomas searched vainly for the dog.
When they arrived at the show they
were told that their pet had preceded
them and he was found sitting on
chair in the front row.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas have given
up the idea of keeping Noisy at home
and he is now to be found well down

Mr.. TAFT VISITS Mr.. WILSON
Former President Makes His Third
Call at the White House Since
Last March.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Presi-
dent Taft visited the white house Ct
fees today. He came to WashinG-
ton to lecture before the National
Geographic Society
Il just came to pay my respects,
he said to Assistant Secretary Fors-
ter. please take my card to the
president and tell him so. l know
he is a busy man and l don't want to
trouble him.
President Wilson, however, direct
ed that his predecessor be ushered in
immed ately. The two men chatted
for a few minutes greeting each 9th
er heartily.
AS Mr.. Taft walked out he was
surrounded by many old friends.
81 am becoming more pleased each
day." he remarked, with the dignity
of a college professors life"
Professor Taft has three times
paid his respects at the white house
since he left office. According to a
veteran employee who has kept a
memorandum of these things, Mr..
Taft therefore has been back more
times than any one else for 80 years.
Andrew Johnson, be said, never
called at the white house after his
term expired. Grant made only one
visit-to be a house guest of Presi-
dent Garfield. Harrison called only
once on President Cleveland, the lat
ter never went back to the white
house after his second term. Col
Roosevelt, on his return from Africa,
left his card, as Mr. Taft was out Of
the city, and has not been here since.

LUKE SPENT MORE THAN PARK
IN THE RACE FOR CONGRESS IN
THE SECOND DISTRICT.
Covington's Expense Statement Has
Not Been Received. Some OF
Those Who Contributed.

WASHINGTON who have
seen the present election statements
OF campaign expenses of candidates
for congress from the Second Geor-
gia district are awaiting the com
plete accounts with a good deal OF
interest. The statements filed to-
ward the latter part of October show
that Roscoe Luke spent 81, $50, while
his successful opponent, Judge Frank
Park, spent only $3.50. Mr.. Luke's
statement was made on October 20,
however. while Judge Parks state
ment detailed expenses up to october
90 only. Both candidates stated that
they had accounts outstanding. Judge
Covington's statement has not been
received by the clerk of the house.
Mr.. Luke stated that he alone con-
tributed to his campaign, while sew
eral subscribed to Judge Parks fund.
The latter's contributions amounted
to $3.50, apparently more than ne
spent for his election. The largest
contributor was his father, j. F..
Park. who gave $4O0. His brothers,
H. E. and w. G. Park, gave $3.50 and
500 respectively. w. w. Banks con-
tributed $3.50, according to the state
ment, and H. NJ. Mcintosh gave 500.
The expenditures show big differ
ence. Judge Park spent for clerk and
stenographic hire only SS6.56, while
Mr.. Lukes bill for these two items
was 1926. Mr.. Luke's stamp bill was
$685. and the expenses incident to the
hiring of an automobile amounted to
s245.5O. The hire was only 500,
but tires, gasoline, hire of driver and
other incidentals drove the cost up.
Most of Judge Parks expenditures
we're for newspaper advertising, but
Mr.. Luke spent 1920 the same way.
The candidates have until Decem-
her ), thirty days after election, to
file complete figures. The five days
difference in the previous expendl-
lures may then show up in more
evenly divided expenses.

ance of others in the room, Conas-
tilla's right eyelid futtered mo-
ment and then both eyes opened in a
wide stare Of terror. The undeEtaker

reported dead and the necessary bur
iaI blanks had been filed out. Fur
thermore, it was known that Conas-
tilla had been i'll for more than a
week and that in delirium attending
his illness he had walked out of the
house and had fallen twenty feet
Those who picked him up believed
his neck was broken.
Under all these circumstances Co
nastilla had every reason to be dead.
He Is still unable to discuss the mat

will recover. When he fell he land
ed on the back of his neck and it is
supposed the jolt to his brain and
spinal column put him in a state OF

and designs were discussed at an i'm
portant conference of representative
manufacturers, wholesalers and i'm
porters. which met at the Hotel Astor
today. The present method of regis
tering commercial designs was de-
clared to be cumbersome and expen-
sive. while at the same time affording
inadequate protection to the owners.
AS a remedy for the evil Congress will
be urged to pass a law providing for
the establishment of a registration
bureau in which the designs may be
filed by their originators at low ex-
pense. The idea on which the propos'
ed measure will be based will do away
with much of the time and expense
consumed now in protecting designs
There will be no research preliminary
to granting certificates of registration,
this work being done afterward In
case of suit for infringement. Regis
tration will not protect the design
beyond giving its owner definite proof
of priority, which will, of course, be
the deciding point in litigation arising
from alleged infringement.
