SILENCE AND MYSTERY.
Life at North, Death at South Pole
Where Nothing ThriVes.
There is no living thing on

There is no living thing on the
Antarctic continent" declares Sir
Ray Lancaster, excepting the seals
AMI the penguins and few other
birds found on and near the coast
| line and a minute insect, like the So
called glacier flea, together with a
few animalcules living in pools form
ed by the melting of ice in the brief
summer, and species of algae, moss
es, lichens and fungi.
Flowers would grow at the South
Pole in summer if it were not for
the mountains there, which make the
South Pole so cold The south polar
area is an elevatedd mountainous
land reaching 10000 feet in parts
and covered with perpetual ice in
consequence of the elevation. More
over, the Antarctic continent is sur
rounded by the sea and is lifeless.
There is a vast area of land
around the north polar sea, which is
green with vegetation and dotted
with brilliantly colored flowers in
summer, and yet is only 500 miles
distant from the North Pole. In the
arctic region there are seals, white
bear, Walrus, fox, wolves, musk OK
and many small mammals and birds
which stray from the neighbOring
continental lands. There is abund-
ant vegetation, including towering
plants, which find a growing place
wherever land is exposed. So far as
temperature is concerned these flow
ers and plants would grow at the
North Pole itself were there any is
lands in that part of the frozen polar
sea. In contrast to the loW-lying
land around the North Pole the
mountainous interior of Greenland is
of high elevation and covered with
perpetual ice and devoid of life.
THE North Pole, is in fact, a fair
weather zone, while, on the other
hand, the antarctic land is swept at
all times of the year by billiards. of
exceptional force and duration.
From the very beginning of life
on the earth the South Pole has been
an uninhabited region. No animals
ever lived there; the deepest digging
will disclose no bones of extinct
creatures. The antarctic continent is
literally the only place on the whole
earth where silence and mystery
have existed from the first.

Is NEITHER A JAIL
NOR AN ALMSHOUSE

From the Savannah News.
1t is the opinion of DR.. E. NJ Green
of the state sanitarium that the Grim
fnal insane should be cared for apart
from the innocent insane. Evidently
he bases that opinion upon the fact,
according to his statement, that the
large majority of persons committed
to the asylum as criminal insane are
not insane at all, but merely have
pleaded insanity to dodge punishment
for their crimes.
DR.. Green is in position know just
what the facts are, and while his
statement is startling to some extent
it doubtless is true. 1t is apparent
that sane men of criminal tendencies
should not be permitted to mingle
with the insane but innocent persons.
DR.. Green makes a serious attack
upon the methods by which persons
are adjudged insane when he says
that there are many sane persons who
are inmates of the asylum and who
have been able to deceive the courts
| into believing them insane. For such
men there of course should be a sep
arate place of detention, one to which
| innocent insane persons should not
be admitted. There should be work
for them to do and they should be
made to do it. The sanitarium staff
should be able to find out readily
whether a patient was shamming or
not, and should be empowered to
care for him as they saw fit, even to
the extent of confining him and put
ting him at hard labor.
The statement that many sane per-
sons are inmates of the asylum calls
attention to the fact that harmless
epiIeptics and paralytics, who are
helpless but not insane, are frequent
Iy sent to the asylum to be cared for
by the state. Surely it is not wise
to put such persons among the in
sane. 1t is evident from DR.. Green's
statement that the courts and jurfes
have not been careful enough in the
past when called upon to decide the
question of the sanity or insanity of
persons accused of crime.

The 0uSted Weather Chief.

Although several days have elaps-
ed since it was done, it may be that
the administration will yet make
public the reason for the summary
dismissal of Professor Willis Moore,
for so long in charge of the weather
service bureau of the department of
agriculture Mr.. Moore, in the ca
pacity named, had become a familiar
figure. so to speak. We all felt af-
ter manner, that we knew him. He
came into office under Cleveland,
and has held on well He is so prom
inent and his relations with the pub
lie were so general and direct that
such happening as his sudden elm
nation under circumstances that
leave him at a painful disadvantage
cannot fail to arouse general inter
est. 1t may be that Secretary Hous-
ton does not have to render any ex-
PLANTATION to the PUBLIC Of his pro
cedure in such matters His authori
ty and discretion may be autocratic
But it is fairly certain that the PEG
pie would like to know the why's ant
wherefores of the dismissal. 1t il
not of mere curiosity, nor yet be
cause of sympathy with the ouste
chief, but it comes of the America
sentiment of fair play, the desire t
see a man get a square deal. Unde
our American system of jurispru
dence a man charged with wrong
doing is presumed to be innocen
until his guilt is proven.
Judged by the measure of punish
ment Professor Moore's offendin
must have been of exceptionally fla
grant nature.

The grave illness of the venerable
head of the Roman Catholic faith
arouses interest and sympathy
throughout the civilized world. 1t
does not need that one should hold
that faith to share in the sentiment
of interest and sympathy. Pope Plus
is the head of a great and worldwide
communion, held in affectionate rev.
erence by millions of people. His
personal virtues have won for him
general esteem, for his simple and
earnest life is well known to the
world.

WOMAN'S CLUB NOTES
Anxious for County and City to Be
Properly Represented in the WO-
MANS Edition. of Constitution.

mans Edition OF Constitution.
With sure and steady strides the
club movement in America is getting
away from the old form of self-cult-
ure, which the earlier clubs attempt
ed, and entering new fields of SER
vice, and there are few women S
clubs today which exist purely for
! literary culture.
The watchword of the peresnt-
/ day club is Service. " and the inter
est of the vast majority of clubs
which make up the membership of
our State Federation of Women's
Clubs is today conferred around the
one great movement of getting out
an edition of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton under the auspices of the FEEDER
alton OF Woman's Clubs Of Georgia.
The proceeds viii go to the Ella
F. White endowment fund. This
Woman's edition Of the Constitution
is to contain write-ups of the differ
ent cities, towns and counties in
Georgia, and also much valuable ad-
yertising matter.
The Dawson Woman's Club having
great pride in their beautiful little
city and Terrell county as we'll could
not sit still and let their sister towns
and counties be written up in this
edition and have nothing said or
done for Dawson, so We, too, decided
to be up and doing, and we take
great pride in saying that so far we
have met with the heartiest coop
Grafton and encouragement from the
majority of those approached on the
subject, for which we are most CRATE
full
Mrs. r. B. Parker, the business
manager of the womans edition of
the Constitution, spent Monday with
us, and we were much encouraged by
her hearty endorsement of the plans
we put before her as we'll as her
words of praise for our efforts. On
Monday night Mrs, Parker, accompa-
MED by our club president, Miss Min
ME Bridges, and some of the chair
men of different committees, appear
ed before a special meeting of the
city council and asked for an ap-
preparation for the advertising of
Dawson. So clearly did this body of
men see the many ways in which
this would be Of benefit to our town
that they voted 1925 to be used for
this purpose, and we are hoping for
similar amount from the county
commissioner for a write-up of Ter
rell county.
We wish to impress upon the pub
lie that this woman's edition of the
Constitution is not a South Georgia
paper any more than it is a Middle
Georgia or North Georgia paper, but
it is state wide edition, and we ex-
pect to circulate it thoroughly, not
only throughout the state of Georgia,
but throughout the various states
in fact, a number of subscriptions
have already been received for it to
be sent to different out of the state
addresses. We wish also to add that
there are 10000 club women behind
this movement pushing it with all
of the energy they possess.

AUTOMOBILE LICENSES.

II is not apparent that the District of Columbia
government could well do less than it mas in adopt
ing reciprocal and retaliatory tariff of automobile
license fees. The District license fee was So for
non-residents, and that is what Marylanders paid
But Maryland had sliding scale of charges begin
ming at SIS year, and running up according to the
increasing power of the car, to SIS for a big car,
and additional fees for operators and professional
chauffeurs licenses. The rigorous enforcement of
this schedule of fees together with speed regulations
that in many cases have been unreasonable, has
been source of fees for Marylands petty officers
and bad feeling the part of District automobiles
There is reason in charging the motorists rea-
sonable license fees, because automobiles do good
deal more damage to country roads than any other
class of vehicles. The automobile driver is presum-
ably peculiarly able to pay for the privileges he en-
joys; imposition of special tax on him is not unlike
the incidence of an income tax upon the man best
able TO contribute to maintenance of government.
But of late there has been tendency to i'm
position, TO Regarding to unreasonable conditions
and regulations, the part of the Maryland author
ties, that demanded retaliation. 1t is to be hoped
that the war may be short, and an adjustment on
reasonable, reciprocal basis, may be reached soon
the day of the to-gate has pretty nearly passed
in this country. Return to it is not desirable The
action of the District government in reminding the
Maryland authorities that two can play at almost any
game, ought to bring this automobile matter down
to basis of common-sense consideration.

EASY MONEY IN SIGHT.

The Times doesn't feel especially equipped to
advise the arrangements of our public service cor
porations how to increase their profits. 1t doesn't
know that they want advice. But a recent expert
ence in Baltimore seems to point the way so clearly
to the performance of profitable service to Wash
ngton corporations of this class, that it would be an
inexcusable omission not to call attention to it.
The price of gas has been reduced from 90 cents
to 80 cents, both net in Baltimore; electricity from
10 to SH cents.
A few hours before the reductions were an
nounced by the Public Service Commission stock in
the corporation that provides gas and electricity was
quoted at 1071z for common and 1854 for pre-
ferred. That was last Monday.
Yesterday preferred sold at 1914, common at
100!
Note, then, how easy to make cleanup for
Washington utility shareholders:
1. Let the utility corporations unite with The
Times in appeal that will get the Public Utility
Commission bill passed, signed and on the books.
z. Reduce the price of gas.
8. Reduce the price of electric current.
4. Provide universal transfers
Do it Immediately; set the new commission in
vestigafing; get its verdict as to reasonable prices
adopt its conclusions as they are announced
just as the Baltimore company did
And watch the stocks 60 up.
