Letters From the Readers of The Georgian
PLEASED WITH EDITORIAL

Editor The Georgian:
Here's my hand, and let Us
shake on your editorial in Nom
days issue, expounding the new
money law that Congress is
about to set in operation. You
have made it all very clear to the
laymen and you have shown up.
in great shape, the opposition of
the money power to this law, and
their motives for their opposition.
If you will keep hammering at it
I think you viii get this matter
through the heads of some of our
Representatives, and you will get
the people so educated on such
matters that they will see to 1t
that they do not vote any more
for men wh1 oppose the best in
terests of the masses. Your blow
in behalf Of the farmers is great.

Regards Himself as TIT
Superior of His Com
panions.

He is continually thinking how
refined and good he is, and how
much better he is than his asso-
ciates.
This state of mind naturally at
tracts criticism.
When any one assumes an
"I-am-holierthan-thou" attitude to-
ward his fellow men, he is certain
to be a target for lies.
People resent that attitude more
than any other.
Real goodness, real worth, real
morality, is always accompanied
by a sort of gentle humility;
manner which invites confidence;
a department which carries with it
sympathy and understanding
Unless you feel near to your
fellow men; unless you are con
scious Of their kinship. no matter
how erring they may be; unless
your thought is one of pity rather
than condemnation for their fail

Written for The Atlanta Georgian
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Copyright, 1879

a YOUNG MAN who prides
n himself upon his good hab-
its, and who tries to live
up to the ideals implanted in his
mind by a good mother, is made
very unhappy by the malice of his
enemies. He says:
The reason l write is, l suf-
fer-not from weapons, but from
tongues of my adversaries, who
seek only to draw me down to
degradation with lies which | can
not understand. My nature is
more like a woman's; by that |
mean, more refined than a mans
nature usually is"
No lies of our enemies can harm
us if we pass on in the path of
truth and pay no attention, further
than a calm denial of misstate-
ments.
We are judged by our lives and
actions in the long run, not by
the gossip of our detractors.
The only human being ! recol-
lect who attained maturity with
out being lied about and having
enemies was a blind idiot.

OUR VOLUNTEER ARMY.

Editor The Georgian:
There is no reason why every
young man should not have linn

nothing better for any young man.
Besides the training there are
many social affairs going on that
will help pass away the time.
Many people make the mistake
of thinking that by belonging to
a company you are obliged to de-
vote too much of your time to it.

With reference to your editorials

FASHION CHANGES
NOW OBVIOUS,
The Picturesque MediCi. Collar
Featured Style FaVOrite.

Indications of changes in fashion are
beginning to be apparent, many new
ideas having lately been put forward
by the great oracles. Whether or not
these new notions will "catch on it is
impossible to say, but in the meantime
it is as well to make a note of them,
since there are some, at all events,
which cannot fail to prove of lasting
interest.
Among these must certainly be reck-
oned the return of the medicl collar,
carried out in various fabrics, but un-
der all conditions making a very fas-
cinating frame for the face. In fact,
the medici collar seems to have the
happy knack of suiting everybody.
while in the case of those who are no
longer young it has a wonderfully be-
coming effect since it helps to conceal
the lines, which are unkindly traced by
times finger, just below the chin
In various kinds of fine lace these
medici collars have already had great
success in Paris, where they bid fair
before long to supersede the Robes
pierre neckwear altogether. Some
times they fit quite closely around the
throat, but in other instances they are
slightly rolled over at the top away
from the throat and stiffened invisibly
with fine wire, which serves to hold
them in position and keep the lace in
good condition.
Another kind of medici collar which
is also very smart is made in very fine
Irish crochet and bordered along the
extreme edge with narrow line of
fur, skunk or mink being used for
preference. With an afternoon gown
in chiffon velvet fur edged collar OF
this kind looks exceedingly well, es-
pecially when 1t is finished in front
with plated jabot of Irish lace TO
match.

THE BLUE SKY LAW.

The Joint committee of the Senate
and House appointed to consider and
report upon revision of the corpora
ton and revenue laws, presented it's
report to the Legislature last week
together with about twenty bills
which the committee recommends be
enacted into law. The most import
ant of the scores of measures pre-
sented is a voluminous bill providing
for the Incorporation, regulation and
dissolution of business corporations,
to take the place of the present law
founded upon the act of 1874 and
it's innumerable amendments and
supplements.
The committee states in its report
that some of the most important
changes in the law are the right to
incorporate for more than one busi-
ness, the requirement that so per
cent. of the capital stock shall be
paid before the commencement of the
business, the restriction of the right
of a corporation to own its own
shares, the prohibition upon one cor
poration owning more than 20 per
cent. of the capital stock of another
corporation, a more complete en-
forcement of the constitutional pro-
vision that stock shall not be issued
except for money, property or ser
vices, SO as to prevent the issue of
watered stock, liability of directors
for false statements, and a more con-
venient method for enforcing liabil-
ity for unpaid subscriptions for the
benefit of creditors"
The report states: "The commit
tee has also attacked the problem
of protecting the man of small saw
ings against investment companies
and 'Get-rich-quick' schemes. After
careful consideration of many RENE
dies proposed, the committee has
found that the so-called Blue sky
law adapted in Kansas in 1911 is
the most .thorough-going attempt at
regulation yet made, and the COM
mittee adapted it to the needs and
system of Pennsylvania, and its en-
actment is urged. 1t puts under the
supervision of the banking commits
sioner all corporations which offer
their securities to investors, and re-
uuire that he approve the financial
standing of the corporation and its
method of doing business"
The committee also recommended
a 1urtner law Teq ulllHS lHNeoIhelt
brokers to be licensed by the bank
ing commissioner as to approval of
their method of doing business.
Return County Tax.
To meet the needs of the locali-
ties, it is proposed that the whole
of the personal property tax instead
of three-fourths, as at present, be re-
turned to the counties.
Urge Bond Issue.
The adoption of the resolution
passed by the Legislature of 1911
for a constitutional amendment au-
thorizing the issuance of State bonds
for highway improvements is advo-
Gated by the committee.

NEWEST HEALTH CURE rs
TO WALK ON ALL FOURS.
DR.. klotz Evolves Theory Urging Re-
version to Animal Habits.

The very newest fad is to walk for a
time each day on all fours like the
beasts of the field. Such exercises are
said to be cure for many ills. So if
you should happen to see apparently
sane men and women ambling over
their lawns on all fours or doing the
same stunt in drawing rooms don't
think they have gone mad. They are
only practicing the Klotz cure, which is
being taken up by young and old, fat
and lean.
1t started in Germany. They have
been doing this sort of thing over there
for over a year, and there is one regu-
lar sanitarium where the exercises are
given under medical supervision.
And this is the theory:
DR.. Ernst Klotz, a German biologist,
maintains that the upright carriage of
man is unnatural and results in many
ills. Nature, he says, did not intend it,
and since man took to carrying himself
erect he has vainly tried to adapt him
self to the new conditions.
AS a result of his holding himself in
a way opposed to nature he suffers
from various pathological determinations,
from the hypertrophy of various or
gans, from the displacement of others
and from LESSONS in the blood vessels.
The architecture of man, according to
Professor Klotz, was meant to be the
same as that of the other vertebrates
The spinal column was meant to be
horizontal and to protect from injury
the internal organs and the soft parts
of the body, which ought to hang from
it. The spinal column is, in fact, prop
erly the rooftree of a man and fulfills
this use in the case of the other man.
mails.
Mans upright position, concludes the
professor, hampers particularly the di-
gestive process. This is owing to the
organic displacement which it entails;
hence men suffers from many sto-
machic maladies from which the less
aspiring quadrupeds are free
DR.. KlotZ has found that very few
human beings who are past twenty
years of age have all their organs in
the right place. They have sagged or
dropped or wandered to a more or less
degree. Especially is this the case
with the stomach.
1t is declared that it is amazing what
the Klotz cure will do. One only has
to try 1t to discover how eficacious II
is. say its advocates.

HORSE STILL HOLDS HIS
OWN ON THE FARM

Washington, Feb. 1.-The intro
duction of the automobile on farms
of the United States, has not displac-
ed the horse or mule, for the latest
estimate of the number of these
animals on farms January 1, this
year, announced last week by the De-
partment of Agriculture, shows more
horses than ever before, except in
1903 and 1910, and more mules than
in any other year on record. Horses
and mules were of greater value
than ever before, except in 1911.
The number of horses increased S.
600 over last year, and mules in
creased 24,000.
While the number of beasts of
burden on the farm increased, the
number of food animals decreased.
Mich COWS decreased 100000 since
January l, 1912; other cattle de-
creased 1890, 900; sheep decreased
$4,000, and swine decreased A.
$4,000.
In average value per head, COM
pared with 1912, horses increased
$4.S9; mules, $3.50; milch COWS,
$5.63; other cattle, $5,16; sheep, 4S
cents; swine, $1.S6. In total value,
the increases were: Horses, $105,-
52S,0OO; mules, $19,58S, 1000; milch
cows, $1o7,369,0OO; other cattle,
$159,5S1,000; sheep, $21,6O9, 900;
swine, $79,7S1 900. The total value
of all farm animals increased $493,-
5000, or 80 per cent. over 1912.

FIREMEN TO ARBITRATE.

1t has been stated in the press that
the firemen, who are now voting on
proposition to strike simultane-
ously on the fifty-four principal East
ern railroads, are prepared to arbi-
trate under the Erdman Act, which
the railroads decline to do.
The strike ballot Is worded so as
to demand an increase in the fire.
mems payroll of $9,600,000, or 35
per cent. annually. Assuming, how
ever, that the real object of the bal
lot is to force upon the railroads ar
bitration under the Erdman Act, the
railroad companies wish their posi-
tion made clear to the public.
The railroads are prepared to arbi-
trate before a commission of five or
seven or nine men, appointed by
some disinterested committee as
Chief Justice White, of the United
States Supreme Court, Martin A..
Knapp, Presiding Judge of the Unit
ed States Commerce Court, and c..
P. Neill, United States Commissioner
of Labor.
This was done in the engineers
controversy. 1t was fair. 1t salts
fed the people of the country.
The objection to the Erdman Act
is apparent from a statement of what
the act plans, namely, that arbitra-
ton shall be by a commission of
three, one appointed by each side,
and the third by the other two, or
else by Judge Knapp and Commits
sioner Neill. The whole decision is
in the hands of one man. 1t is too
much power for one man to have.
The Erdman act was drafted to
settle labor disputes on single rail-
roads, not on all the railroads of a
large territory.
P. H. Morrisey, former head of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
and the Engineers representative on
the recent Arbitration Commission,
recognizes this defeat of the Erdman
Act. He says:
"The Act might also be amended
so that the arbitration board might
have three, five, seven or nine mem
bers, depending upon the magnitude
of the issue, with the neutral repre-
sentatives holding the balance of
power"
The neutral members of a wage
arbitration affecting railroads rep
resent the public. 1t is the interests
of the public, along with their en-
ployes' and their own, that the rail-
roads are endeavoring to protect
They maintain that the Engineers
Arbitration Board was right in say
ing:
The most fundamental defect of
the Erdman act is that the interests
of the public are not guarded by it. !"
