domestic science and manual
training is practical.
The ninth grade rejoiced Wednes-
day and Thursday as they got out
of taking this Algebra tests these
mornings on account of visitors at
chapel, but they got it and got it
good and proper Friday.
Wednesday morning we had the
privilege Of hearing two speakers
on account of the Baptist Conven-
ton. The first speaker brought
the message that teaching was not
training and education was COM
posed of both. tie said that if
our parents and teachers could not
train us that we should train our
selves. DR.. Foster of Bessie Tiff
school for girls was the principal
speaker. He arrived a trifle late
and excused his hardness with a
joke on the Ford, which took we'll
with the students. He got us all
in a good humor and then got
down to business. His talk was up-
on beauty He said that beauty
was essential in the makeup of a
woman and said that a woman
without beauty was not worth
much. Then he told us what he
meant by beauty. 1t was the beauty
OF the soul he emphasized. T he
beauty that makes people around
you happy. Whenever he saw
that anyone was getting tired of
his seriousness he would switch to
the humorous and then back again.
Mr.. Foster is certainly a wonderful
talker. He has visited us several
times before and we hope to see
him many times more.
If the pupils of the High school
want to become speakers like DR..
Foster they had better join the
Literary society. Of course it is a
gift to a certain extent but even
genius must be developed.

A few say that they cannot at
tend literary society meetings on
Friday. Some others don't want to
join our socity for other reasons.
Why not organize another IN e.
Does anyone remember the stir
ring days of the Stevensonian-La a.
nier days? 1t was during the life
OF those two rivals that old F. H. S.
was the premier high school of
Georgia. With the talent we have
two literary societies working to
beat each other would certainly
make FitZ-Hi come back"
AT the meeting of the literary
society last Friday a constitution
was adopted and the best program
OF its existence rendered. T h e
were no visitors this time. We will
have a even better program next
Friday, it is;
Ethel Mayo-Hidden biography.
Fay Buckner-SchooI news and
jokes.
Kosalie Observation-Disclosures.
Debate on the subject, Resolved
that the U. S. should prepare for
war;" Affirmative-Miss Sarah
Mcdonald a d Herbert Gaskin
Negative Miss Bernice Echols,
Ebert Murray and Will Pryor.
Everybody is invited to attend.
How about an inter-class field
meet? Each class has some fine
athletes who practice for the dis
trict meet in h e spring The
whole school needs some spirit
which may be developed by field
meet after football season Is over.
There is a great deal of contention
among pupils as to which of sever
al is the fastest sprinter. There
is no way to settle it like settling
it, Let some one take the initiative.
We suggest that each class have
an impromptu meeting of the boys
and appoint a committee from
each class to arrange for a preli-
minary contest and make the rules
for the meet. A thing of this kind
will help to show the people of our
city a n d of neighboring towns
that the present Fitzgerald High
school is just as smart as it was in
the past.

Our prosperity is here again under
the Democratic administration. All
the enterprisers and manufacturers
are on boom from, the North, South,
East and West. There never has been
time in the history Of the United
States that the American people have
been SO wonderfully blessed with
prosperity as they are to-day. The la
boring people all have employment
at fair wage with the manufactur-
ers running on full time. The whole
country is being blessed with all the
luxurles of life, with a bountiful sup
ply of eatables to live on, with the
greatest amount of agricultural prod
ucts that the United States has ever
known Why should the American
people worry while at peace with all
the world and it being under Demo-
cratic administration and not under
a Republican administration. The
only thing that worries the people is
the political environments that exist
IN the two great parties; one try

The eighth grade has had a
contest in Latin for some time
past and it is now over. No one

The sixth chapter of the Junior
Senior story has been turned in
and is best written so far. We
expect to have the story finished
and dressed up a little by Chris
mas. Miss Vaughn promises
us that after that is finished she
will give US something even more
interesting to do. She says it
will be more interesting than a
play and more fun than a party.
What is it?
The manual department boys
are putting the finishing touches
on their tea tiles. Mr.. Beau
champ says that we will take
up leather modelling and copper
work this week. The reason he
has taught us these three things
is so we can earn money for
Christmas or make presents
our selves. This work can all
be done with only hammer and
nails.

girls will be confronted with
that problem in after life, but it

FREEDOM OF THOUGHT

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-The religious vaudeville pantomime show
of BILLY" Sunday has been quite an attraction
from its sensational character and has drawn
many people into 1t, who, sad to say, became
no wiser Many of the remarks of the speaker
are really disgusting, frivolous and irreigious,
and strange to say, that so-caled intelligent
men give their approval, or really have not the
courage to speak their dsapprovRl of the So
called sermons and remarks of BILLY"
But he is a false prophet. Christ gives the
warning in about these words: Beware of
false prophets that come to you in sleeps cloth
ing, but inwardly raVenng wolves" Now,
BILLY" is OF them; for he has shown the
VOLTS pelt in his ferocous attack on others who
do not think as he does. Where is his Christiani-
ty in that? Have not others right to think for
themselves, as well as he thinks for himself?
He has given no fixed doctrine which he can
declare is the true one.
He spoke in a very superficial manner for all
conflicting sects and denominations in doctrine
and tenets. except few which he mentioned,
and has shown he has shallow and superficial
accept him as a teacher. l want him TO tell me
which church to go TO. II he can tell me which
OF the denominations he was speaking for and
which is the true and certain one, and he will
prove 1t, 1 will join 1t. That is a nut for him
to crack.
His egotlstical baseball harity and mob
yulgarty are certainly a vaudeville and
sational exhortation OF a change to a religious
life and his mob vulgarity will not inspire
with true reverence for religion, but the
opposite, and that is superfcality.

Pure Beer for PennsyIvanians

FT1HE Federal statute against adulteration
j of food and drink covers only such drink
and food as enter into interstate commerce
Beer brewed in Pennsylvania for the con-
sumption of Pennsylvanians and their guests
is not protected by any law against sophisti-
cation. Neither is the purity of whisky and
rum guarded against assault by the unprin-
cipled. If liquor and beer to be sold, it is
important that they should be pure and that
proper penalties should be provided for the
restraint of those who would mix up con-
coction of corrodlng chemicals and offer it to
the unsuspecting public
The anti-local optionists in the General
Assembly confident that they can defeat
the Governors local option plan. If they
have power to do that which is not ad-
mitted by the Governor, they certainly have
power to pass a law incorporating into the

of the national anti-aduteration laws. They
have been asked to do it. viii they show
their good faith by action?

NOTHING surprises visitors from other
In parts of the country so much the dis
covery that the primitive toll road still sur
wives in the vicinity of Philadelphia. The toll
road was abolished in New York years ago
and 1t is unknown in the other States where
a comprehensive system of highways has
been built for the free use of the people.
Pennsylvania has committed itself to a
road policy, though it has not done much
yet. in comparison with what has been done
in Massachusetts. The toll roads, which are
main highways, must be included in the new
system of State roads and they should be
bought without delay. Some road purchas-
ing measure like the bill calling for an
appropriation of 1000 OOO just introduced in
the General Assembly by Senator Croft, OF
Montgomery County. ought to be passed so
that the State can take title to the privately
owned roads at the earliest possible date The
only objection that can be raised to the ap-
preparation is that 1t may be spent unwisely;
but If the money is put in the hands of hon
est men the road owners will get a reason
able price for their property and no one will
get rake off,

CtENATOR THOMPSON, who must have

The Keynote" Speech for 1916

| L1BIHU ROOTS Union League speech was
| IL summary of what the nation is think
! ing at the present time. Dissatisfaction with
/ the Administration is widespread and deep
seated The party in power has devoted it
self for years to stirring up the hatred of
| the poor against the rich. No Jack Cade
ever made more unblushng efforts to hold
the mob by the offer OF the loot Of the rich.
Power and responsibility sober men, and
the Democracy has tried to forget its old
errors but it's thinking is so saturated with
hostility to all successful enterprise that
Congress has found itself unable to deal with
business questions in business way. 1t has
refused to accept assistance of business men
In framing business legislation, because IL
has been declaring for a generation that the
way to frame a business law is to find out
what the business men want and then give
them the opposite
Mr.. Roots emphasis upon the business in
capacity of the Administration none too
strenuous. And his declaration that tho
country was determined to have change
corresponds with the conclusions of all other
observers, The conditions that prevail now
are very much like those which preceded the
campaign of 1896. The Democracy, then, was
bowing down to the false gods Of free silver
and initiation, and the business men of the
nation decided that if national bankruptcy
was to be avoided the Democracy must be
kept out of power Party loyalty was
subordinated to business honor and in every
great commercial centre Democrats and Re-
publicans worked shoulder to shoulder for
sound money and Mckinley, in spite Of the
fact that Mckinley had once been tainted
with the free silver heresy
The Democracy today is not attacking the
gold standard but its policy is attacking the
very structure of business itself. Some anna
teurs who do not know the difference between
n sight draft and Texas zephyr have been
laying down rules intended to make big busi
ness little. because, forsooth, every man who
is richer than any other man is a liar and
horse thief and ought to be in prison. The
Republican party has been infected with the
same germ Mr.. Taft boasted that he had
proved that the antitrust law had teeth in
1t, but he also proved that the teeth did Moth
ing but tear and rend without effectlng any
cure of what he was pleased to call business
evils.
The country has had enough of this sort
of thing. and it is as certain as anything can
be that no candidate for the Presidency will
have any chance of election in 1916 unless
he runs a platform of fair play for every
citizen, rich and poor. and unless he makes
it clearly understood that he proposes to use
all his influence to build up American busi-
ness and extend American enterprise instead
of tearing it down and hampering 1t in !
every way possible for a narrow mind to
conceive.

Getting Results in Mexico

TT SEEMS to be comparatively easy to get
i results in Mexico when the man on the
spot really sets about it unhampered by in
structions from Washington. Within 12
hours after j. II. McManus was shot by the
zapatistas the Brazilian Minister in Mexico
City, who is acting for the United States de-
manded an apology from zapata or from
Villa, who is working with Hapata and he
insisted that the murderers should be
punished and that reparaton be made to the
family of the murdered man. Then he tele
graphed to Washington telling what he had
done OF course Washington had to indorse
his acts. Now he reports that the apology
has been formally made and that he has been
assured that the family will BE- indemnifed
and that the murderers will be brought to
justice.
This is the first apology that has come out
of Mexico since the policy of watchful wait
ing was begun. Not all the warships and
soldiers sent to Vera Cruz could wrest
apology of any sort from Huerta for his in
suit to the American flag. And Carranza
has not been saying that he was sorry for
the despoling of Americans by his followers
But the Brazilian Minister seems to get re-
suits
Instead of sending personal representatives
across the border to interview the revolu
tionary leaders the President ought to send a
private and confidential messenger to Mexico
City with instructions to ask the distn-
guished Brazilian diplomatst how he does
1t. Then, if he gets the secret 1t may be
possible to impart 1t to some one in the
State Department qualified to use the same
methods If such man can he found.

And why shouldn't they be barred? In
