AMONG THINKERS. .

William H. Taft-The press is es-
sential to our civilization and plays an
unofficial but vital role in the affairs
of government. The discipline or a
fear of publicity. the restraining ana
correcting influence of the prospect
of fearless criticism are of much value
in securing proper administration OF
public affairs. The exercise of power
without danger of criticism produces
an responsibility in public officer
which even if his motives are pure
tends to negligence in some cases and
arbitrary action in others.
f. S. Bayard.-Some of our grand
fathers voted to forbid railroad in
their county because they thought 1t
would spoil the market for horses. To-
\ day horses are worth twice as much
las they were then in that county.
When the first harvesting machines
came around the hired hands smash
ed a few because they thought their
occupation would be gone. Today men
are scarcer and wages higher on the
farms than ever before. Men have
worried themselves sick over business

ments. only to find that they ewre bet
ter off than ever before. We are short
I sighted critters at best. Very few of

WHY MOVING PICTURES HAVE
KILLED MELODRAMA

The July American Magazine con-
tains most interesting discussion Of
the moving picture business-a dis
cussion which contains many facts
and ideas not generally known. Fol
lowing is an extract:
I'm the motion picture the actor
are called upon TO face, not mere tech
ue-hairbreadth escapes and res
cues which the audience know are
feigned, but the actual crises of life
This is the one reason why the movies
have driven off the stage the oldfasn-
toned melodrama. In the outdoot
scenes they actually do the things
that are shown on the screen; they
ride the horse, run the automobile,
row the boat In bitter winter wealth
er the actor leaps into the ocean AMI
drags to shore the drowning heroine
or some young girl descends by rope
ladder from the fifth story of tene-
ment; or in the battle scene soldiers
fall from their charging horses and
lie on the ground, trusting the other
riders not to trample them. Surel }
this takes courage. This is not mel
odrama in the old sense, not merely
acting; it is life itself, one of those
rare crisis that call out the unusual
courage of a heroine
do not think for a moment, either,
that the inspiration of the audience IS
wholly lacking. Not only are there the
trade papers and theatrical journals
which regularly criticise the films, and
praise or damn the actors; but if You
were a moving picture fan (there ara
twenty million fans in this country
alone) you would know what fame
comes to the actors. Ask the first de-
partment store girl you meet just
who her idol is, and she will promptly
say: Costello VINO is Costello? He
is the handsome man of the Vitagraph
Company. And doubtless the poor
woman who comes in for day 3
scrubbing could tell off quickly such
names as May Fuller, Mark McDer-
mott, Florence Turner, Rose Tapley,
Ruth Stonehouse, and 'Broncho Billy

FIGHTING TAX EQUALIZATION

Recent developments in the general
assembly of Georgia, now in session in
Atlanta, have served to make it known
that there is vigorous opposition to
the bill to provide for tax equalization
in Georgia. 1t is very evident from
this alone that the law is a good one,
for the hit dog has habit of yelping.
To be more specific, in the present
instance it would seem that the hit dog
is no other than a number of taxpay-
ers in Georgia who have been in large
| degree lodging the payment of equita-
| BILE taxes. These men, whoever they
are, endeavor to confuse the issue en-
bodied in the present bill by arraying
sentiment for and against a unifor n
state equalization board
The equalization of taxes is the most
vital issue before the present legisla
ture. The general assembly should
not adjourn until it has passed some
measure to make possible a more equi-
table and rational system af taxation
in Georgia. Governor Slaton is to be
highly commended for the decisive
stand he has taken in advocating tax
equalization.
The legislature should do its duty in
the matter The members of the le,-
islature should get together on this
vital matter and pass the best bill
that is up for consideration. There
may be defects in any bill they pass,
nevertheless it is we'll worth while
that a law be enacted to govern tax
equalization. The defects in the law
can be remedied later. There are few
laws that stand the fire of public crit
icism and usage. What is needed is
ST me intelligent legislation at this
session of the legislature, and it will
be a grave mistake on the part of the
LEGISLATORS if they do not mass a law
dealing with this matter at the pres
ent session.

THE GEORGIA TRUCK FARMER
WINNER

1t should be not only gratifying to
every farmer and truck farmer ~
Georgia to note the success that Geor-
gia truck farmers are having, but t
should also stimulate them to renewed
efforts to uphold the splendid record
already made and to better it. To soutl
Georgia farmers the success of truck
farmers in this section should come as
tremendous incentive to make this
the leading truck section of the
South. OF the success of Georgia
truck growers the Atlanta Journal
says;
If recent developments continue, we
shall soon be talking of Georgia's
achievements rather than of her posi-
bilities in truck farming. A carload OF
tomatoes grown near Triton was sold
| in New York the other day at the hig..-
est prices the market offered and in
competition, too, with large shipments
from other states where the truck in
dustry has long been established. It
was the high quality of the Georgia
products, say the commission men
that disposed of them so easily and on
terms so profitable.
That is but one among scores of sim
liar instances showing the extraordin'
airy success of truck farming in this
state Planters who formerly devoted
all their land and labor to cotton have
INegun, somewhat fearsomely at frs.
to experiment with food crops. They
find in most instances that the soil s
ideally suited to such purposes ans
that the returns are not only surel
than those from single crop but TAX
en- the season through are also larger
financially. This movement has beef
going steadily forward for severa
years, so that today we find in every
part of the state, and particularly il
South Georgia, many thriving truci
farms whose owners are becoming in
dependent and are establishing nev
agricultural standards.
., Indeed, the truck farm is one o
the most potent influences for pro-
lgress in every field of agriculture. II
makes possible an easy and striking
: application of scientific and business
like methods of farming. 1t is vita
witness to the value of intensive cult

God sent us here to make mistakes,

To taste the tempting fruit of sin,
And find what bitter food it makes.
TIC miss the path, to go astray,
To wander blindly in the night;
But searching, praying for the light,
Until at last we find the way
And looking back along the past,
We know we needed all the strain
OF fear and doubt and strife AMI
To make us value peace at last.
Who fails, finds later triumph sweet;
Who stumbles once, walks then with
care,
And knows the place to cry beware
To other unaccustomed feet
Through strife the slumbering soul
awakes,
We yearn on errors troubled route
The truths we could not prize with
