Idea Is Man Made.

The idea of capital punishment,
or solitary confinement for life, is
man-made and monstrous.
The idea Of flogging. or claiming
in dungeons, belongs to the Dark
Ages.
Gradually the world is coming
into a realization that breakers of
law and doors Of evil deeds are in
valids, needing treatment. Sin and
crime are the result of unbalanced
minds and wrong development of
brain cells.
Some day the great dream OF
DR.. Elmer Gates will come true.
and there will be extensive sciem-
tific institutions throughout the
land, with great and good men to
take charge Of them and to train
and guide the sin-sick souls, who
will be sent to these educational
resorts instead of to the death
chamber or the life imprisonment
cell And by every possible scien-
tific method of brain building Ga
science just in its infancy the i'm
morality will be atrophied, and the
moral, useful, constructive quail
ties Of the brain will be GeveI-
oped.
And punishment viii consist
simply in patient, systematic edu-
cation. Not the education Of our
present-day colleges, but the edu-
cation which comes from right
thinking, right use of every brain
cell
Women are supposed to be OPP
posed to the idea Of punishment.
but observation does not prove this
trait to be absolutely feminine
The women who believe they are
capable of loving in the fullest
sense of that word are many; the
women who really know what it is
to love are few.
Neglected wives who talk to their
friends and neighbors about the
coldness. Indifference and unkind-
ness of their husbands and who
seek for sympathy have never

"A HELPFUL PAPER"

Editor The Georgian.
After reading your editorial. If
Christ Were a Member Of Will
sons Cabinet" I could not feel
right until I had thanked you for
it, The idea you express, it seems
to me. should be the feeling of
every sincere Christian.
1t is certain that the happiness
the very life-of weary souls has
been neglected I do not mean
that all mankind should abound in
riches. but l do mean that the
many millions that are starving
and thos, that are dying for the
simplest needs could be helped.
The Georgian is a helpful paper.
Keep up your good work

The worst thing which can happen

But the wife who wants to plan a

The human being who violates

Bv Ella Wheeler Wilcox

However skilled and strong art
thou, my foe.
However fierce is thy relentless
hate,
Tho firm thy hand and strong
thy aim and straight
Thy poisoned arrow leaves the
Bonded bow
To pierce the target of my heart,
ali! know
am the master yet of my own
fate;
Thou canst not rob me of my best
estate.
Though fortune, fame and friends,
yea, love, should go,
Not to the dust shall my true self
be hurled,
Nor shall I meet thy worst as
saults dismayed;
When all things in the balance
are well weighed,
There is but one great danger in
the world
Thou canst not force my heart to
wish thee ill
That is the only evil that can kill.
PUNISHMENT is a word which
must eventually become OBJ
solete. 1t has no right to
exist.
There is no such thing az pun
ishment in the great Creative
Plan There is simply Law; and
there is Cause and the Effect of q
Cause. The law Of life is inevita-
bile suffering from broken law. The
doer of a cruel, selfish, evil deed is
always shut out from the enjoy
ment of real happiness; he is shut
in the dungeon of his own mind
And eventually his act becomes q
boomerang and brings evil upon
him.

Why not today? All your last winter clothes must be cleaned, pressed and
 made presentable for another year.
 Do not wait until the thermometer is below zero and you must have it done
 in half the time we should have to do it thoroughly good. Unpack today, ex- anime your clothes and we will make them as nearly new again as it possible to do. You have your shirt, your collars, your hose and everything about you, your coat nd trousers excepted perhaps, cleaned very often. Is that hardly fair? You owe it to your clothes to give them thorough cleaning once year at leastl-, cleaning of ladies suits a speciality. Puckett 6 Fritz Barber Shop.
