SETH" and, if this be true, it follows that
death CONSISTENT not in the want of things
The wealth of the soul is not affected by the
possession, or the lack, of mere material
things, unless one impoverishes his soul by
grasping after earthly goods. This, alas! is
what multitudes are doing. They are filled
with greed, and clarifying their covetousness
by misnaming it an assertion of their rights
This is the source Of a vast deal of the unrest
which disquiets society and threatens to de-
stroy civilization. 1t is the birthpoint OF
Bolsheyism.
1t is especially unfortunate when the asser-
ton of rights with reference to mere things is
coupled with an effort to use the state to
serve the ends of selfishness That always
breeds riots and revolutions. Amiel says
most truly THE revolutionary school always
forSets that right apart from duty is cCIa-
pass with one leg. The notion Of right in
fates the individual, fills him with thoughts
of self and OF what others owe him, while it
ignores the other side OF the question and
extinguishes his capacity for devoting himgelf
to common cause. The state becomes a
shop with self-interest for principle---or
rather an arena, in which every combatAnt
fights for his own hand only. In either case
self is the motive power. Extreme
individualism dissipates the moral substance
of the individual. 1t leads him to Gsubordi-
nate everything to himself and to think the
world, society, the state, made for him."
The evil is not the less, when classes. as
we'll individuals, begin to think the state
is to be used for their benefit and theirs
alone. Then we see class legislation and Ill
sorts of malignant passions and tcmpers of
class against class. Conditions of animosty
arise which demagOgues use to the damage Of
all classes while they fatten on public spoils
Lenines and Trotzkys always appear when the
people are fighting among themselves, even as
vultures gather where there is carcass
The opposite of all this over-assertion of
rights and under-regard fer duties is that
spirit of love, concerning which St. Paul
says Charity seeketh not her own Il Corin-
thians, xiii:5). That spirit begets peace,
der brotherly kindness and every good thing
1t builds up churches, promotes the prosperity
of nations and advances civilization.

Registering Georgza Land.

Charlton county has the distinction of be-
ing first ia avail itself to a marked degree
of the advantages Offered by Georgia's new
Land Registration law. In that county,
whose property owner are evidently alert to
The value of uncIOuded and incontestable
claims, some seventy~tive titles have recently
been determined, registered and accorded the
guarantee of the State, whilst many other
petitions for registration certificates are
pending.
By way of comment the Savannah Morn
ing News aptly remarks that the intent of
the law is ''to make apparent at a glance who
owns a given piece ii land, what encum-
ORANGES are upon it, in short the condition of
the title without the reed of spending time
and money in digging through years of old
records" Furthe,:
ga state certificate of title under the
law would make land far more readily,
quickly and easily available for sale or
for use as security than it is now. When
once a certificate of title is registered
there can be no doubt as to who owns
the lands; the state guarantees the title
as it appears on the records, provided in
this law, of the county in which the land
is included. and it would take but
brief time for a prospective purchaser to
find out the exact condition of the title,
and the cost would be hardly one twenty
fifth what it would cost him to find out
the same thing under present condi-
tons"
All this, of course, will enhance the value
of land as collateral, and should quicken the
real estate market, particularly as regards
farm lands. 1t was largely with view to
facilitating 'uraI credits that the Georgia
law was enacted. All interests, however
will be benefited by SO clarifying and con-
serving a measure Charlton county is to be
congratulated upon its progressive example
in putting this valuable statute to extensive
USE

BE FAIR TO THE INSANE
BY Il. AddingtOn Bruce

tn HE insane as a class are not yet getting
a square deal. They not getting
it for the reason that most people still
do not appreciate that insanity is disease
is as nue. a disease as is tuberculosis or
typhoid few or kidney trouble.
When a person falls i'll with any disease
such as these, everybody's sympathy goes
out to him. Doctors and nurses are called in.
Nothing is left undone that may contribute
to a quick recovery.
In too many instance 1T is different with in
sanity. To become insane is, in the opinion
of numerous people, something disgraceful.
Others look upon it as almost criminal. In
fact, the insane in &C. tain communities are
treated as though they actually were crimi-
nails.
They are dragged into law courts to be
formally sent away to institutions, They
are put on exhibition before the gaze of the
curious. They may even be locked up in
cells pending court ;ctiOn.
Or relatives obsessed by the notion that in
sanity is disgrace keep them secreted help
lessly at home This may or may not ag-
graVate their condition. Certainly it does
not assist them to get we'll.
The fact is that they invariably need medi-
cal treatmer. as truly as do the victims Of
tuberculosis, typhoid foyer, or kidney trouble.
The one great point Of difference is the To-
cation Of the region OF disease in the insane
The others are sick in their lungs, kidneys,
etc. The insane in their brains.
And as everybody knows, the sooner treat
ment is begun in tuberculosis, typhoid fever,
or kidney trouble, the greater the likelihood
of a cure. So with insanity.
To be sure, there are forms of insanity still
beyond the resources of the most expert ply
sicians But this does not affect the general
proposition that every insane person should
be given the benefit o. medical care as soon
as there is any reason. to suspect that his
mental health is impaired.
Neglect or unskilleu handling in the first
stages of mental disorder may have last
ingly disastrous consequences. Whereas
prompt summoning of medical aid may lead
to speedy rel alancing of the mind.
To "shield" the insane from expert medi
cal observation. is thus a mistaken kindness
1t does more Larm than good and may ulti-
mately prove as harmful he brutal legal
procedures sometimes taken against the
mentally sick.
Frank discussion with the family doctcr

BISH OP GAMBLERS MESSAGE

T~ HAT great and good man, the late Phil
lips Brooks, said, This earth will be
a q hell whom all men go about clamor-
ing for their rights
During the last four years we have seen
many most conspicuous CXempiifcations Of
the truth Of the statement. Russia in par
ticular, is now seething with political condi
tions that suggest perditiOn, and the horrible
situation has been brought to pass by the
over-assertiOn of rights and the under
recognition Of duties.
Bolshevism, and it's kindredsm, socialism,
clamOr for what they claim are the rights of
the masses, but they give scant attention to
the obligations of the masses.
A man who is constantly brooding over his
rights inevitably thinks little Of the rights
of others and still less Of his own duties 20
others In the conduct Of other men he is
apt to see only wrongs.
Cur distressed world Of today is full OF dis
quietude largely on account Of its morbid
magnifying OF rights.
The bitter conflicts Of capital and labor
arise from the fact that each party is bent
on asserting it's rights and neither concerned
for brothcrly consideration Of the rights of
the other.
The worst form clamoring for ones rights
is seen when the clamoring is about the pos
session of money and the getting of material
things. This is the madness Of mamm Onism.
It has been the curse of Russia. The Boil
sheviki were ready to make any sort of terms
with the militarism of Germany in order to
prosecute mammonisTn in their own country.
And now they commit the most horrible
crimes in order to perpetuate their reign Of
covetousness and cruelty.
The spirit INDUCED in America will bring
to pass the same results in our country. Too
much is being made Of the getting and hold
ing earthly goods. Men who have much want
more and men who have little want more
Hence the prevalence of strife and conten-
ton. Peace is sacrificed for pelf and the
struggle is claimed to be struggle for prin-
ciple.
The possession Of money is not the SUPP enc
good nor the want of it the supreme evil
Jesus taught us that life CONSISTENT not in
the abundance of the things man posses

France, speaking at a banquet given in honor
of Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, commander
of the British grand fleet, at Liverpool. ex-
pressed sympathy with France in her anxiety
for the future. He said it was up to Great
Britain to stand by France at any time an
ambitious foe crossed her frontier. While
preserving silence on the subject of the
League of Nations, the earl said he felt that
eff anything can save future generations from
the horrors of the past, let us, in heavens

bassador said, was strong alliance Of Great

Highways and Schools.
T@ HAT is a seasonable and highly i'm
portant appeal which Superintendent

T HAT is a seasonable and highly i'm
portant appeal which Superintendent
Britain, of the State Department of
Education, makes to the county school
authorities of Georgia, apropos of the funds
which divers communities now are raising for
highway improvements. Says the Superin-
tendent in recently issued letter on the sub
ject:
There is much interest in bond cleo
lions for good roads and for meeting
halfway the Federal appropriation for
this purpose. This is thoroughly wise
but l am writing to ask each of you not
to let your schools suffer through failure
to present the Importance of their inter
ests when these bonds are proposed.
Bib County was the first to vote bonds
for this purpose, and, as | hope you OBJ
served, large portion of the issue was
voted for new school buildings, both for
the City of Macon and the County of
Bibb Every county in the State should
see that the schools are given the same
help, and their inclusion will not only
show wide-aWake school officials, but
will help to popularize the bonds.'
4 1t is to be hoped that this idea, potentially
so fruitful in blessings to the Commonwealth,
will fall on fertile soir. Good roads and gooa
schools are so inter-related that far-visoned
county like Bibb naturally links the two in
planning for a constructive future. The ulti
mate reason that persuades a people to vote
bonds for building better roads is essentially
the same as that which kindles their wish for
better schools-the reason, namely, that it is
the human and social and moral values which,
after all, make a community worth living in
and make it truly prosperous. In the crea-
ton and development of those values, roads
and schools are Of prime Importance. Where
FORE it is eminently right, as superintendent
Britain suggests, that the counties of Geor-
gia plan for the two with equal earnestness
