Congressional Chivalry

We learn that when the Mount
Vernon sailed from Brest there
we're certain congressman on board
who insisted on taking the places Of
soldiers. The congressman had
done no military duty, but they
wanted to get home. So did the
soldiers. who had been through hell
and out again that congressman
might live to draw fat s1laries and
talk interminably in a comfortably
upholstered council chamber.
The soldiers we're left behind.
Some soldiers we're allowed to
come-after the congressman had
all been assured that room would
he made for them. But the soldiers
were not allowed to keep the quar-
ters that had been assigned to them.
Army officers who had been through
the fiercest of the fighting were
compelled to give up their state
rooms to professional politicians
who found Prince Alberts more COM
Portable than khaki. The officers
were not eager to make the change.
but the politicians insisted.
The matter is trivial, and yet it
has its bearing on philosophy. 1t
rarely pays to be a hero in some
one else's behalf. The world has
changed very little since the days
of Sennacherib We speak of the
recent war as holocaust, an
ArmageddoO, aud upheaval. cata-
clysm. We give it several of the
names that are the commonplaces
of bromidic journalism. We declare
that the world has been revolu-

now metamoTphosed, transformed.
Ii isn't much transformed. II
will take us about a year to reslize
what a singular durability the more
nauseous traits oil human character
have shown in surviving a pureing
process which should have eliminat-

able in those who did not really 60
through the pureine process at all.
Any congressman whose natural
vulgarity formed the keynote of
his character before the war will
continue to exhibit that vulgarity

cattle in Laurens, just forty miles
from Toombs, has voted for nofence

various counties prefer to handle
them selves, but one by one they are
falling in line for stock law as a

1t is general admitted by cattle men
over the country who have studied
the situation at all that livestock rails

of graded and pure bred cattle and
hogs and not the scrubby tick-infested
wild cattle and razor back hogs that
wander at will over the country, as is
done in some sections of the state.
1t has been found that an enormous

Y. M. G. A. TO SOLVE
VACATION PROBLEMS

London, July 1.-1(Correspondende
Of The Associated Press.-Ameri-
cans who find the cost of vacations so
high that they cannot afford this year
to go to the mountains or seashore
will be interested in the way which
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton is attempting to solve the pro-
blem in England.
Seaside profiteers have made the
vacations so expensive for the aver.
age English family that thousands
who before the war sought recreation
on the east coast of England were
unable to do so this year The hotels
have jumped their prices to unheard
of figures.
The Y. M. C. A. is offering these
families bed and breakfast in these
east coast resorts at $4.20 week for
each person and it proposes to fur
nish nurses and Accommodations for
children so that mothers can have a
real holiday.
To accomplish this the association
rented a hotel at Felixstowe and
another at Southend and established
a tent camp at Hersne Bay equipping
them with such furniture as it was
able TO quickly obtain. All valuables
must be left at home and only old
clothes can be worn.
No charge is being made for chill
dren less than one year old and re-
duced prices are quoted for those of
less than eight years. This permits
a family in ordinary circumstances to
enjoy the holiday season at much the
same price as prevailed before the
war
Y. M. C. A. leaders are planning to ex
tend their vacation Accommodations to
other shore resorts and to use for this
purpose two military camps.

 The Pilgrim Memorial Fund is to be the real. if belated. expression on the part of Americas Congrega ational- ists of social justice to their ministers of the Gospel. Simple mention of the S1 200 which is the average minister iaI salary is sufficient explanation of it's need. No man with a family can get more than the barest living on that sum in these days. and saving a against a helpless and unproductivc future is out Of the question. The church must provide iuster pay, or it's ministers will in very self defense be compelled to desert it's ranks. Other denominations have made such pro vision. The Methodists are establish ing a fund of s10, 900. 900. the Presby- terians Of s17.oeo. .oeo and the Fspisco- palians of 5000 900. as a basis for pensions.

Com necticut now comes forward to do it's share.
