Now, in this free and untram-

man is nice young man, and a
good girl is chaperoned by her

scarecrow that will brighten any
youth away from a girl.

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 bhghting.
If she is of a gentle, mild nature,
the dominance of mother fades her
to pale shadow She has no con-
Versation, no opinion, no taste. be-
cause mother has never allowed
her to have any. If, 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 l have heard more than one
woman who made a bad match say
that she married the first man that
asked her so as to get out from
under her mothers thumb.
That too much mother is at the
bottom of the great majority of
divorces is a matter of statistics.

not .ong ago that in 10 per cent
OF the cases that came under his
knowledge he was satisfied that the

TIME Genevan Theocracy. insti-

gan its stormy existence three
hundred and seventy five years ago,
January II, 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 Is years
Calvin, the prime mover in the
Ecclesiastical Regime, was firm
believer in the absolute separation
Of church and state, but was fixed
in the conviction that i'm 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

The Genevan TheOCraCy
By REV. THOMAS B, GREGORY.

The Theocracy stopped all this
most effeotually and made Geneva
at least outwardly clean. But the
pent-up forces of evil after being
hard pressed for time by the blue
laws of the preachers broke loose,
overthrow the Theocracy and sent
Calvin and Farel into exile.
And then--the Deluge, Worse
than ever became the wickedness
With bold, unblushing front vice
held its high carnival everywhere.
1t was monstrous, uuprintable, al
most inconceivable. and after three
years of such business the Geneva
authorities were obliged to recall
the banished preachers.
Returning. Calvin established
his ecclesiastical government, and
for the following % years ruled &c
neva like Il king. No monarch ever
sat more solidly upon throne than
Calvin did during all those years at
Geneva.
Nor must II be forgotten that
Calvins 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. in 1864 at the
age Of 80, literally worn out by the
streuuosity 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.
And with reason. for while some Of
Calvin's ideas were wrong and most
of his methods impracticaole. his
purpose was as worthy as his intel
leCt was commanding.

OPPOSES DISCRIMINATION.

Editor The Georgian:
l 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, indeI-
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 TAX
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 on 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 he 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.

crime be avenged as the law pro-
Vides. and let the woman hang by
