The Genevan TheOCraCy

The Theocracy stopped all this

pent-up forces of evil. after being
hard pressed Tor time by the blue
laws of the preachers, broke loose.

Calvin and Farel into exile.
And then--the Dcluge. Worse
than ever became the wicledness.
With bold, unblushing front vice
held its high carnival everywhere.
1t was monstrous, unpriutable, Al
most iHconceivable, ana after three
years of such business the Geneva
authorities were obliged to recall
the hanished preachers.
Returning, Calvin established
his ecclesiastical government, and
for the following % years ruled Ge-
neva like a king. No monarch ever
sat more solidly upon a throne than
Calvin did during all those years at
Geneva
Nor must it be forgotten that
Calvin's throne was no big box COW
cred with velvet and hung about
with brocade. He ruled not by
force of arms, but by the greatness
of his intellect and the purity of his
soul
When Calvin died. i'm 1864. at the
age of SIS, literally worn out by the
strenuosity of his labors in behalf
OF the cause that was far dearer to
him than life itself. his govern
ment persisted with him, but to this
day the mans mighty personality is
felt not only in Geneva. but
throughout Europe and the world.

OPPOSES DISCRIMINATION.

Editor The Georgian:
| note in Tuesdays issue Of The
Georgian an editorial, shall Sex
Save Woman From Execution"
In answer to that question. l an
swer NO! The constitution of this
great state and the laws of the
same do not make any distinction
in criminals, whether they be black,
white, male or female. What right
has an individual judge or eXecu-
tive to make any distinction? Be
cause the confessed director of this
horrible and infamous conspiracy
is a woman is no excuse under the
law nor under the face of heaven
for clemency She stands the con-
fessed and willful murderer of her
devoted companion; she will be the
murderer of her accomplice; she
has forever written a black, indel-
ible stain upon the lives of the Off
spring of a good citizen.
In our own city not long since
two bankers, the president and
cashier of a local bank, men of
trust and of prominence, were SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for talk
ing that which was not theirs.
Great was the surprise at the sen
fences and greater was the COM
mendatiOn from all over the United
States because no discrimination
was made Oh account of position
or wealth. WHY Have those
with whom we have intrusted with
enforcing our laws become such
jellyfish that we are surprised when
we hear Of justice being given to
all classes?
Will the jurors be MEN who can
do their dtuies and uphold our
laws?
Has the judge the BACKBONE
to enforce the law as he has sworn
to do, or is he afraid he will lose
his JOB?
Has the executive the BACK
BONE to do his duty fearlessly,
whether ne hereafter be governor
or county bailiff?
We will continue to have more
crime in Georgia than the whole of
the British Isles so long as we fail
to give justice to whom justice is
due
Let this villainous, heartless
crime be avenged as the law pro-
VideS. and let the woman hang by
the neck until dead by the side Of
her accOmphCe.

TINE Genevan Theocracy, inst'-
tuted by Farel and Calvin, be
gan its stormy existence three
hundred and seventy five years ago,
January Il, 1887.
Some six months prior to this
date Calvin reached Geneva, in
tending to remain over only one
night. but, meeting with Farel. he
was induced by him to abide with
him for season. The result Of
the conference which followed be-
tween the two was the institution
OF the Theocracy, which with a
brief interregnum, ruled the pretty
Swiss town for 26 years.
Calvin, the prime mover IN the
Ecclesiastical Regime. was a firm
believer in the absolute separation
of church and state, but was fixed
in the conviction that in working
together the state should be guided
by the church.
Accordingly, Calvin, Farel and
the other preachers resolved them
selves into a committee To run Ge
neva upon a gospel platform. As
Stunning (and very rightly, too that
il was every ones duty TO be NOR
ally clean. the Theocracy undertook
TO make them such by threats Of
death in this world and everlasting
damnation in the next.
Those who know what Geneva
was in 1887 are quite prepared to
admit that 1t was high time that
something was done TO mend mat
iers. The place was literally sink

OPPOSES CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

Editor The Georgian:
| see you invite discussion of the
justice or injustice of the impair
TALLY as regards sex of meeting
the penalty for murder in the first
degree. This is, of course, a sor-
roWful subject, since it is well
known some of the most fiendish
murders ever committed were by
women. An instance: About 30
years ago Mrs. Druse, of Herld
mer, n. Y. shot her husband in
the back of the head at the dinner
table, made her fourteen year-old
daughter help her chop him up and
they boiled his flesh away in three
or four days on their cook stove,
Mrs. Druse was hanged: the girl
served several years in the pani-
tantiary-long enough, perhaps to
repent. Shakespeare makes Shy
lock say to the suppIiant of whom
he had the advantage, The villainy
you teach me I'll execute" I make
so bold as to assert that when
mans heaven erected face was not
turned gOdWard and he gave vent
to his passions and appetites, ne
taught woman every mean thing
She ever learned
There was a woman's freedom in
Jeopardy in the court in this com
munity not so long ago and before
l should have acquiesced in the
verdict rendered there surely would
have been mistrial-but to hang a
woman never. The sex which goes
down into the valley of the shad-
ow' to replenish the race, nurses
its young day and night and
watches over it till it can manage
for itself never deserves to be put
to death. Seclusion is the worst
punishment on Gods earth for a
woman, but alas there are many
who need this discipline, as well as
men. for their publication. When
the world gets better, executions
of men, even, will cease.

Mothers Don't Realize 1t.

III YOU go to see her. mother does
all the talking. and tells you what

thinks daughter should think. The
result is that the girl is left abso-
lutely colorless. with every emotion
and impulse subdued and suppress

also-rans of the profession. And
she will have been slain, artisucally
speaking, by mother.
Even so. And this young actress
who is suffering from too much
mother is not the only victim of
the complaint. We see it all about
us every day. until there are times
when we are tempted to think that
perhaps orphans are not so badly

a DRAMATIC critic and a Wom-
~ an were discussing a certain
young actress who is so good
that you can not understand why
she is not better.
She is successful enough to be in
the public eye. yet she does not
quite get over that intangible line
that lies between talent and great
ness.
She is beautiful" said the dra-
matte critic, "and clever. and has
charm, and yet somehow she doesn't
quite get there What's the matter
with herr"
Too much mother replied the
woman: shes got a mother who is
one of those grenadier ladies who
believe it's their sacred duty to boss
their daughters to death. This girl
doesn't dare to let herself go be-
cause she is SO afraid of mother.
Mother has told her what she could
eat. and drink. and wear, and what
opinions She could hold all of her
life, and it's mothers Interpretation

the theater they tag. along. They
never give Cupid a chance.
Now in this free and untram-
meled country, where a nice young
man is a nice young man, and a
good girl is chaperoned by her
goodness, too much mother is, a
scarecroW that will brighten any
youth away from a girl.
He doesn't dress himself up in his
best to go and talk to any middle
aged, stout lady. Nor does he pro-
pose to spend his money buying
food and drink and theater tickets
for any girls relatives. Therefore,
he passes up the girl with too much
mother for the one who has per-
haps too little mother. Many Wom-
en- wonder why their daughters
have no attentions from men. Most
OF them can find the answer by
looking in the mirror.
A Finger in Their Affairs.
The effect of too much mother on
the girl herself is also blighting.
If she is of a gentle. mild nature.
the dominance of mother fades her
to a pale shadow. She has no con-
versation. no opinion. no taste. be-
cause mother has never allowed
her TO have any. II, on the other
hand, she is of a strong and vigor-
Gus nature. she chafes under
mothers autOcratic rule. She wants
some Individual life Of her own.
which she can never have at home.
and~I have heard more than one
woman who made u bad match say
that she married the first man that
asked her SO as to get out from
under her mothers thumb.
That too puch mother is at the
bottom OF the great majority of
divorces is a matter of statistics.
A celebrated divorce lawyer said
not .Opg ago that in rs per cent
of the cases that came under his
knowledge he was satisfied that the
couple would nave gotten along
well enough together if it had not
been for the mother-in-la law. When
a woman'S son or daughter marries
she cant realize that her right to
boss him or her or his or her af-
fairs. has ceased
she's got to have finger in her
children's domestic affairs, and
when she puts it in she stirs up
trouble.
Conscientious women think that
being a good mother is one If the
virtues that can not be rvrrdone.
This is a mistake. The art Of Pc
ing a good mother consists in
knowing when to get off the lob
and give the child a caaa, -.
No motherlng can IJona to any
