been introduced, From flve witnessos
besides three doctors the jury has been
told that Kelly Is mentally unbalanced.
From the doctors the jury has learned
that Kelly is a victim Of paranoia, and
upon this may hang his fate The de-
Tense contends that In this condition
Kelly is not responsible for his words
by which the state seeks to fasten the
guilt upon him. However the state
claims to have built a strong wall OF
evidence around the preacher which
they feel is convincing proof OF his
guilt.
The state commenced it's rebuttal
attacks this morning, and expects to
spend about two days at it, Miss Beu-
lah Galloway. the Carroll telephone
operator, who was not permitted to
testify last week, is in Red Oak to so
on the stand in rebuttal for the state.
Miss Galloway had a ''racy" story
which she might have told from the
witness chair IL the defense had not
succeeded in keeping out her testi-
mony.,
May End This Week.
Following the rebuttal come the ar
guments OF counsel. THESE are awaited
with keen interest by the curiosity
seeking throngs which have daily
packed the court room. Then come
the instructions Of the court and the
jury takes the case. It is believed that
Kelly's fate will be placed in the hands
Of the jury possibly by Thursday
Saturday afternoon Bailiff John Fri
dolph took the jurors out to the edge Of
town where they disported themselves
on vacant lot like youngsters. The
jurymen were taking a turn at base
ball. While Of course no one knows it
is reported unofficially that a bitter
contest was fought out on the diamond
between two opposing teams which had
been labeled facetiously the "Wilker-
sonites" and the "Havners." The score
was not learned.

An Excellent Highway Bill.

The good roads movement in Georgia will be
ouickened intellectually if the House follows the
example of the Senate and passes the Andrews
Heath hill authorizing counties to vote joint bond
issues for the construction, Improvement and main
tenance of highways. In opening way to CO.
ra-otiva effort and correlated results this meas
ura goes to the heart of a broad and basic prob
lem As matters now are counties conduct road
work with scant regard to their common needs
and interests. Occasionally, to be sure ADJOINING
counties both of which wealthy and progress
sive will unite on some well-considered plan OF
road Improvement. But for the most part there
are no inter-county highways and consequently no
state system of highways. To remedy this con-
dition is of the utmost importance to Georgia's
material interests, and the pending Dill is long
step to that end.
II Joint bond issues are authorized there
will be an ever-present opportunity and incentive
for counties TO work together for road improve
ments instead of working separately and some
times confiictingIy as now By this means, much
duplicated effort be saved and other suostan-
tial economies can be effected Further, by com
Inning their resources two more counties often
times can accomplish things which none of them
singly would attempt Moreover. the larger and
richer counties thus will be enabled to aid the
poorer counties in building continuous highways.
This feature alone would make the measure in
estimably valuable and enttle it to unanimous
passage.
It is conservatively reckoned that Georgia
counties spend upwards of eight thousand dollars
a day on road building and maintenance Much
of this money is spent efficiently and becomes
royal investment. But much of it is dissipated
simply through lack of broadly planned and we'll
co-ordinated efforts. In such instances it is not
individuals but the system that is to blame. If
the counties all to get due returns from their
road expenditures they must work steadily for
and utilize to the best advantage their COM
bined resources. AS a stride in that direction. the
bill authorizing inter-county bond issues and en-
couraging inter-county effort deserves from the
House the same prompt and favorable considera-
ton it received in the Senate.

Electric Light on the Farm.

Food crops have been especially profitable In
Florida as in the entire South, this year, and
Florida farmers evidently know how to use their
money. Witness this item and comment from
the Times-Union:
Potato growers in st. johns county have
made so much money this year that they are
httirg IN their farms with city convenences
Seventy farmers in that county have aban-
doned lamps and have put in small electric
light plants to light their homes and grounds
That displays the right spirit, and it means
that there will be no trouble in keeping the
boys and girls on the farm in st. Johns
county"
One Enforcement like this will do more to solve
the cityward drift which poets lament and NOR
alists condemn than all the homlies under the
sun Electric light and power on the farm Will
do relatively as much for rural life as Prone
tbeus heaven-ilched fire did to brighten the ways
of men when the world young. Many aspects
of rural life there are which ought not to be
cbanqed and which indeed could not be improved.
Rut there are others which charging contin-
uaIlv for the better The labor-saving devices and
household conveniences now available for the
average farmstead add great deal to the material
value of farm property as we'll as TO the ueslr-
ability of living in the country. AUTOMOBILES

Misguided Resistance
To Selectipe Service.

In his admirably tempered statement concern
ing those misinformed and misguided persons who
threaten resist the Seective Service law and who
in one or two isolated districts have caused some
trouble, General Enoch H. Crowder, Provost Mar
shall General of the United States army, makes the
very interesting and common-sense point that at
this stage the execution of the law there really
nothing to resist All men between the ages of
twenty-one and thirty inclusive have been enrolled
and "a preliminary call" has been made to certain
number of them. But the object of this call-its
Immediate and actual Objects simply ito pro-
vide an opportunity for such persons, or for some
one else in respect Them to present to the Gov
eminent reasons why they should not be finally
ordered to report for military duty Therefore,
"If such persons do not appear and present
these reasons, they have simply neglected to
take advantage of an opportunity that was Of
fered solely for their benefit. The failure of
persons to take advantage of this opportunity
does not interfere with the raising of the army
and interests the government only as punish
able crime of omission. If they do not desire
to make any such claims or II for any other
reason, they fail to appear their names are
automatically posted as having been called and
not exempted or discharged. Automatically,
also they are indicted into the military serv-
ice and made subject to military law. Failure
to appear merely hastens this automatic
process"
If there is any good reason, such as physical
disability or the responsibility of caring for de-
pendents why men who have received the prelim-
mary call should not serve, they will be excused
readily enough The law is as just in this as in
all other respects and as democratic. Evidently,
then, persons who attempt to evade the law no"
are failing to take advantage of an important right
and are laying up trouble for the future. That
they will be drafted into the service in due time II
they have no valid for not serving scarcely
need be said That is, they will be drafted unless
they refuse beyond certain period, to appear for
service in response to the call issued to them In
that event they will stand guilty or desertlon III
time of war which is capital ofense.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES
By DR.. Frank Crane
Circumstances alter cases.

Circumstances alter
No physical law works unchecked all the time;
it is met by other, conflicting laws and the result
is compound of the two. For instance / pitch a
baseball to you horizontally, you hit 1t with your
bat slightly it becomes foul that Is 1t nles up at
an angle; thus the direction it takes Is composed
of that gave it with my hand and that you gave 1t
with your bat.
It is precisely so in morals. What is good I'M
der one set of conditions may be Indifferent under
another set and positively bad under third.
This does not mean that moral laws can be
altered at our wish, nor that they are not stead
fast 1t simply means that life has more than one
moral obligation, that two or more sucn oonsa-
tions sometimes conflict, and that what good man
needs is moral principle rather than rules, togeth-
er with sound sense and co-ordinating judgment
For circumstances alter cases.
It is right to be gentle toward a dumb animal;
but it is wrong when it attacks your child, not to
kill it.
It Is right for wife to respect and please her
husband; but if he gets drunk and threatens ner
with bodily injury, 1t is wrong for her to submit
1t is right to turn the other cheek; but IL a
policeman sees thug assaulting citizen, 1t Is
wrong for him to do anything else than resist ar
rest, and if need be take the lie or the mug
Ifaman takes nv coat it is right for me to give
him nv cloak also;" but IL a l am congressman
and see stealing from the government 1t Is
wrong to help him steal more, and not expose ana
denOunce him.
The entrance of authority and responsibility
for others into any moral question changes it
This plain common-sense is what the extremists
and iteralists in nonresistance do not see.
Certain persons, including William E. Waliing.
! G. Phelps Stokes John Spargo, w. ]. Client, and
Upton Sinclair, resigned from the Socialist party
because of its opposition to the war. AS Socialists
they have met the kind of crisis in conscience
that has presented itself to the Christians.
Sinclair shows how circumstances alter cases In
his statement. Nine years ago. he says, he with
Charles Edward RUSSELL issued a manifesto call
ing upon the Socialists in all countries to oppose
war bv adopting a program of instruction and
general strike to prevent war
That was before 1914. Now his declaration ia
that IF the German government is wild beast
and if the forces of reason and decency within
GERMANY admit themselves helpless In the grip or
the beast then obviously it is up to the rest or
the world to bind and chain the beast setting free
German Socialists along with the rest of mankind.
And in his present attitude he is fully moral
as conscientious, and as consistent he nine
years ago.
For the compounded direction of two moral i'm
pulses is truer than moral impulses in direc-
ton which refuse to change.

The press dispatches carry a brief notice to the
effect that Senator Thomas w. Hardwick, of Geor-
gia has introduced bill in connection with the
new national army, providing that no person shall
be sent beyond the territorial limits of this country
without that persons consent.
The bill will not pass the senate, and Will
most likely not be considered by it.
We express the confident belief that the pur-
pose of the bill will be approved by few if any
citizens of this commonwealth, and by no other
Georgians than its author, in the councils of the
