LYING TO YOURSELF
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

nIe. and nv appetite may second your efforts. /
NAV crave the glass, my nerves may clamor for it
and my imagination may lure me to it; but do
not have to drink.
Whatever excuses may give, there is one thing
1 do not have to do, and do only because Will
to do it, and that is to swallow the stun.
And that is true of every injurious deed IL l
do an act of fraud uncleanness or cruelty, there
is lust one person guilty-it is myself.
The world is full of bubbering winners, whim-
perers and weakngs. OverfuN.
That we do wrong is not so disgusting. we are
all human and perhaps all little perveted. But
having erred let us be downright and manly and
honest about it. Let acknowledge our guilt, ad-
nit that our lusts and greeds and selhshness,
which other people or crcupstances may have
deftly played upon no valid excuse, and tnat
ourselves We may be sinners but at least we can
play the man.
Don't lie to yourself. Don't wallow in self-pity.
Don't hunt extenuating circumstances Don't JUS
tify yourself by comparing your own Win otners

The wickedness of others may bring pain or
loss to YOU through no fault of yours. Each OF us

The private diary of Leo Tolstoi recently
published in Paris by his daughter, the Countess
Alexandria Ivovna. One of his views therein ex-
pressed is:
Lying to others is much less serious than
lying to yourself
To know this is the beginning of wisdom.
Self-deception is the starting point of moral
decay.
Lying to others may be but a harmless amuse-
ment but lying to yourself is sure to mean inward
deformity the germ-laden feck that spreads dis
ease throughout your whole character
Yet it is the commonest easiest, most subtle
of sins.
If you talk of the inmates of the penn1tentlary'
with the crime-wrecksd and drug-soaked or the
sums you will find that every one of them is living
like spiderin a web of delusons he has woven out
of his own substance. .
The prohigate has told himself that the world
owes him a living" until he believes it.
The criminal lays his downfall at the door Oh
society.
The prostitute can glibly prove that she is not
TO blame she is the victim of injustice.
Every doWn-and-outer labors to JUSTIFY nlIhSeH
and trace his misfortune to the evil of others
AS matter of fact person since the world
began was ever compelled to do wrong.
No rotten stone or cracked beam was ever lald
in the edifce of any mans character that he ala
not put there with his own hands. ,
When l say that another made me 90 an e'H
thing lie to myself.
Others may have cajoed, tempted, pushed
threatened or bribed me, but the fatal final step
was never taken except by the consent OF my own
will.
You may offer me a habit-forming drug you
NAV argue with me that it will do me good, you
may urge me by ridicule. and lead me on by exam

Mr.. Hughes MiSStatementS.

When Mr.. Hughes venturing. as he rarely does,
from geneTaties TO particulars tries 10 support his
blanket Indictment of the Wilson administration
he becomes ludicrOUsly entsngled. In his Detroit
speeches the other day he charged the administra-
ton with having displaced Mr. E. Dana Durand,
for long years director of the census bureau, with
"a Southern politician and with having ousted
eminent scientist who was at the head of the coast
and geodetic survey for Democratic stock breeder
and veterinary surgeon" This was his evidence
in a sweeping declaration that since Mr.. Wilson be-
came President civil service principles had been
fouted and overturned.
The facts are, as Secretary Redheld has shown
conclusiveIy that Mr--Durand not removed
from Office but resigned of his accord and that
the head of the coast survey far from being ousted
retired voluntarily much to the regret of the ad-
ministration and despite its effort to retain his
services. The Southern politician" to whom Mr..
Hughes alluded is Hon. William J. Harris, of Geor
gia who as director of the census bureau earned 4he
praise OF Republicans and Democrats alike and was
promoted to membership on the federal trade COM
mission because of his demonstrated ability. The
stock breeder and veterinary surgeon" to whom
Mr. Hughes referred is Mr.. Lester Jones. who
advanced from another branch of the department
Of commerce to the head of the coast survey and
whose management in that capacity has been I'M
commonly efficient and productive. MIR. Hughes
stated that ffty-two appointments in this bureau
were made in opposition to the advice of the civil
service commission The records show that not
single appointment made against the advice Of
that commission
These misstatements are typical of Mr.. Hughes
campaign utterances. Whenever he drops from
vague generaiies he lands in ridiculous confusion
Utterly at a loss for a valid issue. he deals in
charges which are either pointless unfounded;
and the further he gees. the irresponsible his
methods become. For his hopeless lack of issue.
the Republican candidate is to be pitied than
censured but that does not excuse him for boldly
misrepresenting facts. Such methods would not be
surprising in a commonplace political huckster, but
they are amazing in former justice of the Supreme
Court and a woaId-be President of the United
States.

Ge0rgia'S Land LaWS
and Rural Credits.

The extent TO which Georgia will benefit from
the federal farm loan system depends largely on
the character Of the States land laws. One of the
primary duties of the farm loan board will be to
ascertain whether the State laws Oh the conveying
and recording of land titles and on the foreclosure
OF mortgages or other instruments securing loans
afford adequate protection to all the interests con-
cerned. Pending such an examination in the case
OF any State, says the loan act:
The federal farm loan board may declare
first mortgages on farm lands situated within
such State ineligible basis for issue of
farm loan bonds; and if said examination
shall show that the laws of any such State
afford insufficient protection to the holders of
first mortgages of the kinds provided in this
act, said federal loan board may declare said
first mortgages on land situated in such
States ineligible during the continuance of
the laws in question"
Ii is thus evident that Georgia should lose no
time in seeing TO it that its own land laws are
adequate 10 the requirements of the new rural
credits system. For this purpose it has been pro-
posed that the Legislature. at its present session.
order digest of the States land laws together
with the court decisions pertaining to them. Such
digest would expedite the work of determining
Georgia's present status under the farm loan act,
and point the way promptly to any needed re-
visions.
There is now pending in the Legislature bill
introduced by Mr.. Barfed of Bibb, and Mr.. Turner
of Brooks PROVIDING for thoroughly safe and
simple system of land titles. The adoption of this
measure which is modelled after the famous Tor
rens plan, would much time and cost in the ex-
animation of titles, would establish new and invul
nerabIe safeguards to the rightful ownership of
land. and would make Georgia real estate
sounder and reader basis of credit. The need of
some such legislation has long been manifest; and
now in view of the federal farm loan system, it is
imperative The General Assembly render no
service more practical than prompt and thorough
going action on this important issue.
The rural credits system soon to become opera
tive offers invaluable opportunities for aid ald
development in the States agricultural interests
But in order that Georgia farmers may "rioy a
full measure OF those opportunities, it is essential
that the States land laws meet the requirements
of the federal act. In a matter of such great
moment and consequence, the Legislature should
lose no time in taking due action.

VICTIMS OF DRINK
III II. ADDINGTON BRUCE.

ing to psychic explosions which might easily take
the form of an impulse to go on sprees.
These findings assuredly bear out the views OF
those scientific students of alcoholism who have
long contended that drunkard is essentially
candidate for hospital rather than penal treatment
Also to be sure, DR.. Anderson's findings indi-
cate that custodial care is indispensable in most
cases But it is hospital not Jail, care that is
required.
In hospitals the unfortunate alcoholics can re-
ceive the physical and educational treatment they
need. Their cases can be studied individually to
ascertain the presence of any special factors IN
creasing the tendency to drink.
In some cases, though DR.. Andersons report
does not recall the fact, dental irritation has been
found to be an important complicating factor.
Extracting of decayed and Assessed teeth has
rendered drunkards of long standing amenable to
moral suasion In one case, reported by the late
DR. Upson of Cleveland, man who had been
arrested many times for drunkenness completely
stoned drinking after treatment for dental abscess
In other cases, according to Drs. Crothers,
Coriat and other specialists, anti-epieptic treat
ment has been of decided helpfulness, particularly
among periodic drinkers.
Many drunkard it is true, has been cured
solely by moral means. The influence OF rehglous
conversion is especially noteworthy in this respect
But court records and family tragedies reveal,
alas that moral do not constitute an unfa1l-
ing cure
Dr. Anderson's investigation shows unmistak-
abv why medical as well as moral treatment usual
ly is necessary.

Permanent Prosperity.

Noting that war orders a minor
solicitation, the New York Commercial thinks that
permanent prosperity is assured by the buoyant
trade in peace products and the steady increase in
domestic demand for merchandise.
Bankers and business men are conserva-
tive and trying to lay solid foundations for
the expansion of trade when peace is restored
and new openings are offered
This is the consensus of reliable opinion Fears
that American business would receive
shock when the war ended are longer voiced
except for political effect. Traffic in munitions has
constituted only small part of our towering ex-
port trade and months ago wise manufacturers
who had converted their plants into gun and shell
industries began making readjustments for the
future. Indications that the transition from
a war to a peace basis will be accomplished in this
country without serious disturbance.
II should be remembered. moreover that dur
ing the past two years commerce with the
Central Empires has been virtually abolished and
has been seriously handicapped with number of
European neutrals. When peace returns this trade
will revive. Meanwhile, American exporters
developing and permanent markets in Latin
America and the Orient. The outlook, far from
being gloomy, is radiant with cheer.

TT judges Jail officials, social reformers and
the public in general l recommend careful
consideration of the results of a recent inves-
tigation into the problem of chronic alcoholism.
These results controvert strikingly the preva-
lent belief that persistent repeated drunkenness
is usually nothing than a bad habit.
They go to show that it is question not so
much of habit as of disease.
The investigation made by a Massachu-
sets physician DR.. V. V. Anderson, and reported
by him in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.
The subjects of the investigation were one hundred
alcohol "repeaters,' who had frequently been in
the grasp of the law.
On an average each of these repeaters had been
arrested about eighteen times Arrest and pun
ishment had all too clearly failed to them or
the habit of drinking to excess. Dr. Anderson
undertook to find out why this was the case.
By psychological tests he ascertaned, for one
thing that more than half of the repeaters had an
intellectual development below that of the average
child of twelve.
MY twenty-six of them had mentality up to
normal All had some impairment of the nervous
system.
Thirty-seven were feebleminded seven were
epileptic seven were absolutely insane, thirty-twO
manifested some degree of psychophatic talnt
Half of those INVESTIGATED were haDltual
drunkards half were periodic drinkers. OF the
former only seven had mental level above twelve
years.
