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

VUYHEN Mr.. Bryan and the
w puffy little Mr.. Coin. Of
Chicago, were conducting
their Financial School, the pub
lie became familiar with the agi-
tation against monometalism in
protest of the single standard in
money.
When the woman movement
gets its second wind the public
is going to be made familiar with
monomoralism in protest of the
double standard in morals.
As'the fashion now stands. So
ciety is addicted to the crooked
est hypocrisy toward it's male Of
tenders.
Under the necessity OF main
tanning in some way a condem-
nation of personal vice and Of
keeping its function of moral in
dignation from falling into dis
use entirely, society out -Herods
Herod against weak and betrayed
womanhood and smokers in its
sleeve over the original sinner
who happens to belong to the SUI
perior sex.
1t is a simple matter of moral
mathematics that when women
reach the maturity OF their social
selfhood we will have a show
down on this question.
A Square Deal.
The connection Of monomor-
alism with the woman movement
is obvious. II is not merely a
pithy issue, of accidental injustice
to be snatched up for effect.
The double standard in morals
is a piece OF social legislation,
logical from the assumption Of
woman's inferior place in society.
That point established. masculine
superiority makes laws to suit
itself and men see to 1t that they
do not bear too heavily on them
selves.
On the other side, women &C
cepting the claims OF the highest
morality upon women, vigorously
execute the penalty against fe-
male unchastity and thus are
forced to play directly into the
hands Of a gross injustice.
But there is a growing sense in
women that the double standard
of morals is an outrage against
righteousness. They see that it
only encourages tho rapacity Of
men. and therefore diminishes
the moral security of women.
The consideration of eternal
rightness, the demand of truth,
the integrity Of moral law is also
boring its way to the quick of
woman's conscience.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-07-14

II It is a fundamental right
eousness that human beings
should submit to the regulation
of sex relations, then it is spirit
ual outlawry. a fiaunt at the face
of Heaven, for men to excuse
themselves and go excused in So
ciety.
1t should not be considered
strange If the protests for a
square deal goes further than it
ought to go.
The Peril of "Everywoman.
Already there are indications
that the female protest against
the freedom of men to fiout virtue
is manifesting perilous tenden-
cies.
One has but to mark the ven
turesome fashions in woman's
dress, the tendency of defiant i'm
modesty, the inclination to mas
culine vices. the neurotic dances,
in which women assert their
holiness to become painfully
aware that some new spirit OF
abandon is at work among
women.
1t is to be condemned and re-
sisted. Very well, but go a little
further and interpret it.
With the female consciousness
aroused to the point Of new and
Justifable self-assertion, the
double standard in morals is a
direct provocation Of immodesty
among women.
Men have been their leaders
and their masters in the era OF
their subsection, and now that is
ending, they are tempted to fol-
low men in the exploitation Of
their freedom and to defy con-
ventions and restraint of moral
prohibitions.
This Interpretation of the mani
ifestly immodest tendencies of the
day may shock some minds. but
IT will stand fair In others in
the absence of a better.
Calling Men to Task.
It should at least indicate that
men must know human nature
well enough to understand that
a double standard in morals is a
rotten basis for healthy society.
If women will have equality of
the sexes before moral and So
cial law it will come in one of two
ways-by the lowering of the fe-
male standard to the present level
Of the male standard, or by rails
ing the male standard TO the level
Of the present female standard
In one case or the other the
woman movement will inevitably
call men to task.

III ERE in the heart OF this world,
Here in the noise and din,
Here where our spirits were hurled
To battle with sorrow and sin;
THIS is the place and the spot
For knowledge OF infinite things
This is the kingdom where Thought
Can conquer the prowess of Kings
Wait for no heavenly ufe
Seek for no temple alone;
Here in the midst of strife
Know what the sages have known
Stand not aloof apart;
Plunge in the thick of the fight;
There is the street aud the mart
That is the place to do right
Not in some cloister or cave
Not in SOME KINGDOM ABOVE

Here should labor and love
So many Gods. so many creeds
So many paths that wind and wind
While Just the art OF being kind

Bair will occupy the rifle pit in

the coast town in a deal whereby
Nashville secures a former South
ern league star. Roy Castleton.
Roy has been a great gun in CAL
ifornia, but last year found him
slowing up and it was his belief
that a change of scenery would do
him lots of good, and while this
brilliant idea was finding lodg-
ment in his brain, his boss con-
ceived the clever stunt of dumping
friend Roy right down in the Vol
unteers' bail park.
But Esquire Hirsig is pretty
fair sort OF trader himself and the
wicked old man fixed it up so the
Union Pacific railroad will arrange
to haul Mr.. Bair all the way to
Vernon whenever he cares to go.
The only possible way that the
Vernon club can come out at the
long end of this deal is for Castle

1t is not thought that this clause

light of a hardship upon them. for
the club will take care of all the

" Pitcher Doc Moskiman. who
last season smashed all
long distance jumping records by
leaping back among the outlaws on
the coast, from whence he had early
in the season been secured by
Louisville, will be among the gun
ners employed by Manager
Schwartz this season. He has been
sold to Nashville by Louisville, to-
gether with Catcher Bill Ludwig.
MoslIiman is rated as high
class finger. although his record
with Louisville was not SO good.
He won five games and had the
short end of six. He has. it is
claimed a good change of pace and
sweeping curves, and President Hir-
sig believes that he has made a ten

The new owners of the Louis
vile club have decided that the
team needs new blood from start to
finish and are disposing of all the
payers on the clubs reserve list
and accepting most any old price
offered. Nashville was offered
Moskiman for $500 and choice of
