Our Other Selves.

The old Hebrew sage declared,
wisdom cometh from the opportunity
Of leisure" 1t does not mean that Il
wise man must belong to what we call
the leisure classes. 1t means that II
one has only little free time at his
disposal, he must use that time for the
refreshment of his hidden selves, says
S. NJ. Crothers in the Atlantic. If he
cannot have sabbath rest of twenty
four hours, he must learn to sanctify
little sabbaths, it may be of ten min
utes' length. In them he shall do no
manner of work. 1t is not enough that
the self that works and receives wages
shall be recognized and protected; the
world must be made safe for our other
selves. Does not the Declaration Of
Independence say that every man has
an inalienable right to the pursuit Of
happiness?

THE BETTER WAY

The exigencies Of the war period
have made it apparent that govern
ment regulation of industries and
public utilities is better than govern
ment ownership.
And when the war is over it is more
than likely that this system Of regu-
lation, modified to some extent, per-
haps, will continue to prevail.
A couple of hours of the time Of
Congress were consumed recently with
the discussion of fifty-dollar hunt
ing license. Even more time was en-
gagged with argument over the ques-
ton of whether the postmaster gen.
cral shall have the power to make
rules for the regulation of the postal
service. Certain minor features Of
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-11-01

the Parcel post system have been the
theme for many tedious minutes of
debate.
Just imagine what would happen if
the United States ever undertakes the
government ownership of railroads. A
representative from Wisconsin will
plead eloquently for the limited train
to make stops at each of the cross
ings in his district, just as represent
atiyes now plead for appropriations for
hundred thousand dollar postoffices in
mere villages and hamlets. If con
ductor is not over polite to one of his
passengers a complaint will be for
warded at once to the representative
from that district, who will, of course,
entertain Congress with an elaborate
discussion of the frailties and foibles
Of railroad conductors. If the station
agent is not sufficiently prompt in tell
Jig prospective patrons just what time
the $50 train will leave his mipeach-
ment will be threatened and possibly
effected, if the indignant and outraged
citizen has sufficient influence with the
Congressional delegation Of the state.
If trains do not arrive on time, villas-
ers will undoubtedly send their EN-
phatic protest and demand for better
treatment direct to the president,
probably dispatching committee of
three to present the communication TO
he chief executive in person If baby
gets a cinder in his eye, mother dear
will persuade poor husband to file a
complaint with Congress as to the alb
solute inefficiency of the entire rail-
road system.
We fairly shudder to think of the
eloquence that will be expended in
the event the daylight limited runs
over 81 Hopkins pet cow. If 81 is not
amply recompensed for his bereave-
ment, political upheayal may result
in his particular district
Then think of the additional oppor-
tunity for oratory and piffling politics
when the government also acquires
the telephone and telegraph lines. Gov
eminent ownership is grand and glo-
rious on paper, but we hardly think it
will be glittering success in prac-
tice.

THE PRODUCT-DAY DINNERS.

A Georgia Products Day Dollar
Dinner for Americas and Sumter
ccunty is a happy and timely idea.
The fact that Mr.. Crawford Wheat
ley has been appointed chairman by
the business council of the Chamber
Ct Commerce to put the idea into ex-
ecution means that the affair will be
q delightful and successful one.
Heretofore these Georsia Product
Day dinners have exploited the bounty
of the states soil The purpose was
10 show how much could be served,
and the tables have groaned under the
weight of Georgia meats, fruits, vege-
tables and delicacies.
This year, however, the prevailing
idea will be to demonstrate how
Georgia products during war times
can feed the people, even to the es-
sentials. Substitutes for those items
which the Allies need most will be
exemplifed, and the distinguishing
feature will be display of the fact
that Georgia, even if walled in, could
feed itself. There will also be lesson
in food economy-how to serve plen-
ty, and yet not. too much.
Georgia is more aroused over the
question of feeding than it has ever
been, and for that reason we predict
that the Georgia Products Day din
ners throughout the state will be I'M
precedented successes.

passes everything that Belgium
had ever suffered"
1t was the Hearst press which
insinuated, in January, tn at
France was preparing to violate
the neutrality of Switzerland
1t was the Hearst press which,
after the rupture of relations and
on the eve of the declaration of
war, directed violent appeals to
the Congress that it should not
put a single dollar of American
money or a single soldier of the
American army at the disposition
of the Allies"
Finally, it was the Hearst press
which recently treated Liebknecht
as a clown and said that the real
representative of German Social
ism is Scheidmann, the faithful
friend of the chancellor.
And now it is the impudent ny
pocrisy of Hearst-editor and pro-
brietor of the Atlanta Georgian-whict
the French resent. With tn legiti-
mate avenues of news closed to his
organizations, his agents are trying
to get back into the good graces Of
the French. Their game" says La
Liberte, is to multiply manifestations
OF sympathy (for the FrenchO and
offers of assistance, making us under
stand that the hostility of their news
papers is only directed against our
Allies, especially against ENGLAND, "
And it is this maneuver which Is
denounced as Childish"
The French have the measure OF

and loathe him from the depths of
their souls.-Macon News.

THE HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL.

1t is interesting and curious how
customs change.
Halloween is now a most popular
celebration in this country, especially
in the South--decidedly more so than
it has ever been.
Once upon a time Valentines Day
was far more popular. That was the
time when sweethearts spent three
and four dollars, sometimes more, on
huge paper designs and sent to the
young ladies of their hearts choice.
Cheaper valentines were exchanged
by the younger folk, and the comics
were an unfailing source of amuse-
ment. Valentine balls and parties
were the rage.
Fourth of July was also more wide
ly celebrated than it is now, There
were public exercises, at which the
Declaration of Independence was al
ways read The militia paraded, and
the younger people masqueraded, usu
ally in the day time, in fantastic cos
tunes, and paraded the street.
Christmas has been. in the South,
the occasion for fireworks displays,
until city ordinances prohibited the
discharge of explosives in certain
limits, and ultimately the sale of them
at all The appalling annual list Of
dead and injured from playing with
fireworks also contributed to the max
ing of popular sentiment against this
fern of amusement. Besides, the
churches discouraged the idea, on the
ground that such celebrations were
inconsistent with the spirit OF the
season
Now the young folks appear to be
drifting into a more general appre-
citation of Halloween Certain it is
that the children of Americas have
never observed it with such enthusiasm
as they did last night. There were
hundreds who participated in the
"spooky" pasttimes, suggestive of old
superstitions And this way of cele-
brating it, incidentally, was typical OF
the original English method, for it
was in England that the festival of
All Saints was first introduced as a
celebration apart from the religious
phase of it.
1t is a quaint idea, and an entertain
ing one. and as the children get worlds
Of wholesome fun out of it, they
should be encouraged.
