r HREE gentlemen Of Jerusalem strayed
from jericho and Joppa, down to the
City of the Many Gates where they en-
tered into business; and, by a strict avoid
ance of hog-meat, and other Gentle abom-
nations, they waxed as fat as Jeshurun
just before he clicked"
Consult your Bibles, brethren, and find
the place for yourselves! | can't Arrays
be telling you where to find things in the
Book.)
"Jeshmme aoaued fat and hached''
That's where his troubles started. When
ever a Jew wakes fat, he struts before the
Lord, In such an arrogant manner, that the
Lord has to call him down.
Isn't it strange, that the Jews do not
peruse their own part of the Bible, and
learn how dangerous it is to kick, after they
wax fat?
Thus saith the Book: ''But Jeshurun
waxed fat, and kicked then he forsook
God"
The Book proceeds to tell how the Lord
cursed the insolent jew, who had become
rich and Goddess.
e believe [ will relent, and cite you to
the place: it is Deuteronomy chapter 80,
verse Is.
Yes, three men of Jerusalem came into
Georgia, to get rich on the heather who
waxed fat.
Did their riches Fill them with kindness
toward the Gentiles who had enriched
them?
By no means. Jeshurun. having waxed
fat kicked
He became so pulled up before the Lord,
that he made for himself golden calf; and
he not only worshipped this yellow animal,
himself, but he strangely deluded himself
with the idea that he could convert all the
hog eaters to the same worship.
And that's where Jeshurun came to grief.
He overestimated the hypnotic spell of his
golden idol.
He knew that his own soul was saturated
with the love of Money, and he fancied that
all other especially hog eaters-must
be as mercenary as himself.
So it came to pass, that one fine morning
we awoke, to discover new thing under the
sun.
A Committee Of rich Jews had estab-
lished itself in Atlanta, to erect Golden
Calf, in the market place; and they called

corner of Walton and Forsyth Streets, ex-
actly II o'clock, and came straight on down
there-where he saw Mary.
This is the most satisfactory evidence as
to the exact time Mary got to the factory.

According to Mccoy, who was not i'm
peached or contradicted, Mary Phagan
would most assuredly have been seen by Hat
tie Hall, or by Monteen Slower, had she not
gone between the times, when Hattie left
(12:O2) and Monteen arrived Q2;05).
With Mccoy seeing Mary so near the fac
tory, at not more than two or three min
utes after twelve, it is impossible to account
for her, between then and the time after
Monteen left the Office except upon the idea
that she went in, was taken by Frank to the
metal room, and killed there, as Conley
swore, and as the hair and blood proved.

JAPANESE PREPAREDNESS

Certain Americans pretend to be
very much afraid of an attack upon
us by Japan, and Co that end are urg-
ing the building Of a great navy to
resist the dreaded assault. But let us
look at the matter from the Japanese
point of view. America is larger,
weather. and a more powerful ma
ton in every way than Japan. IL be-
longs to the Occident, and the 0cci-
dental peoples have ever shown small
respects for the rights of Oriental
peoples. Europe has never hesitated
to encroach upon Asia; and America
is the child Of Europe. She already
has possession Of the Hawaiian Is
lands, she is in Samoa and she has
the Philippines. What reason is there
for supposing that Che great nation
that has grown out Of thirteen colo
MES on the Atlantic seaboard by alb
sorbiag territory from Spain. from
Mexico, and from Russia viii stop
with the present status? BY all the
logic Of history ahe viii not tolerate
Jopan's position in The Pacific, and
viii, at the FIRST opportunity, destroy
her power
With such a thought in mind and
there Is no reason TO doubt that some
Japanese may hafbot such thoughts
what win be tho effect upon them
when they see us doubling our navy?
Will they not be confirmed in their
conviction that we intend mischief?
VIII not those who are now suspicious
be quickly convinced, and set about
persuading these who have hitherto
thought well of US? And will they
not rally to the defense of their own
country by doubling their own navy Z
Is not this the teaching of modern
craftsmanship Is it not the very
essence of preparedness And if the
Japanese double their navy, what will
be the effect upon our timerous ones !?
viii not those who now seek to have
our navy doubled want it redoubled :?
And then what? 1t is possible that
Japan and China Esay come to terms,
and by combining their powers be
able to command the wealth equal TO,
our own. Is such wealth to be squan-
dered in mad armament rivalry? Yet
is not this the logic of the argument
for a large navy? Every additional
ship that we place in the Pacific is a
threat to JAPAN and every answering
ship that Japan launches is a chal-
lenge to America. Is this statesman

ilization? Is it plain common sense?

A TIME FOR IDEALS

S. P. B. Mais, a schoolmaster in one
of the public schools Of England, writ
ing not long ago in the Fortnightly
Review, drew attention to the fact
that schoolmastering today is easy
with English schoolboys. Discipline
is made virtually necessary because
Of seriousness Of students, many Of
whose companions and teachers are
fighting in the trenches only q few
hundred miles away. Even games
which are second nature to the public
school boy, are relegated to their
right place, and form now an incl
dent simply. A new sense Of proper
ton ha- been achieved as a result of
this terrific conflict which has stirred
the depth OF national character. Even
chapel exercises are pervaded with a
new and deep attentiveness; the
preacher and the audience are one in
new and common sympathy.
The only thing now, according to
this schoolmaster's account, that real
ly matters is the corps. He gives an
illustration of the way in which pun
ishment has become, if not entirely
obliterated, at least difficult. A boy
who was expected to be engaged up
on a mathematical test paper was dis
covered devouring book; the inevi-
table penalty of seventy-fve lines, in
this case of paradise Lost, was
learned, and after the student bad re-
cited his punishment lines he was ask
ed what novel or magazine had been
taking his attention. "Field Service
Regulations, sir" was the boys re-
ply.
In view of this breaking up Of old
ideas and traditions, and in recogni-
ton OF an extraordinary seriousness,
the writer goes on to say: "Now is the
time to throw our whole weight on the
side of ideals, to make them (the stu
dents) realize the myriad-hued beau
ty of life in which lies all truth, all
appreciation of nobility, all religion
and depth of character"
This is a timely word, and it APP
plies no less to the population of the
Western hemisphere whose political,
Industrial and mental life has been
stirred out Of the channels Of the u.s.
ua1 routine by the effects, direct or in
direct, of the world war. The liter
AZURE, the councils, the business and
the conversations reveal the fact that
people in the United States are fac
ing the heights and depths of the sin
cerities of existence as they have not
done before in a long time. The ma
ton is SOLDERING as it reads the daily
narration of world catastrophe. Men
are saying on all sides, "What does
it all mean? Is it merely a woeful
dance Of destruction? Or is it a

Governor Hadley and regard him as
the very best pciasical campaigner in
Missouri, the rank and file of the Re-
publicans are for Walter S. Dickey.
"They have not been able to forget
that Hadley didn't support Republi-
can national administration. He may
be able to overcome his handicap to
some extent by a speaking tour"
Senator Whitiedge's views bear out
the estimates of Jefferson City poll
ticians that Hadley will face a hard
task in making inroads upon the
strength of Dickey throughout the
State.

breaking through of some clear light
from the moribund static luxury-lov-
ing and MISUNDERSTANDING age,
grown incapable of longer existence
devoid of that higher idealism which
has made civilization permanent and
great?"
Beyond question no period in the
course of present generation has been
so pregnant with significant ques-
tions. In no moment of modern time
have men felt more keenly the need
of reappraisement of the values that
lie near the heart of things. These
are days for heights and depths, for
putting national and spiritual houses
in order, for clearing out old insin-
cerities and superfcialties. These are
days for ideals to emerge. in these
hours the central question of exist
ence presses irresistably for hear
ing. That question is, "What, after
all, is really worth while?"
Already on all sides the querry
comes, "What about after the war;"
Nations cannot go on interminably
at this tragic rate. Inevitably the
results of the conflict are to be more
far-reaching than any human under
standing can fathom at present. The
struggle is Just the prelude to ire
mendous world changes. David Liv-
ingstone, after his long conflict in
Africa, said that the end of the eXplo-
ration was only >the beginning Of the
enterprise. The feature of nations,
as Of individuals, will be nodded after
the war by attitudes, by tendencies
taking shape out Of the smoke Of hat
Ties and by the unparalleled iustaXpo-
sitions of races. Undoubtedly these
people who, in the coming testing
time, shall be capable Of wisest dccis-
ions, wrought in judgments which
have achieved now elevation Of Fer-
spective, win rule the earth.
The aforesaid English schoolmas-
ter has outlined for his school world
his hope:
81 look forward to a not far dis
tant future as the outcome Of all this
time Of distress and of hor-
ror, when the public school boy shall
be what we each Of US in our inmost
hearts, if we ever take the trouble to
think, always meant him to be: up
right, pure, honorable, truthful, full
of divine, restless power, which will
make for the amelioration of the lot
of mankind over whom he will have
sway. look forward to a time when
snobbery, the mad pursuit of wealth,
the incessant search for transient
pleasures, undue athletic prominence,
slackness of aim, brainlessness, blind
ness to beauty, tacit consent to pain,
bullying-all these and million other
present day vices shall be wholly Grad
icated from our system, and in their
place be substituted generosity, aes-
thetic appreciation for whatever
things are honorable, pure, and of
good report, indulgence and compass
sion towards the weak; the encourage
ment of the intellectual, real under
standing for the things that matter,
and a turning away from the things
that matter no."
| Is it not an hour for the intelligent
belligerent and neutral alike to con-
slider whether or not, as sequel of
these momentous days, such unfading
ideals shall become, as never before,
the fixed stars for himself and the ma
ton he holds most dear ?-Christian
