SOME FACTS AND OPINIONS.

The hearing of the senate interstate commerce
committee is eIiciting facts and opinions of In
terest relative to the final disposition of the
railroads The administration has apparently
engaged in propa ganda in behalf of the McAdoo
five-year extension program But this meets
little favor anywhere else. There is a very
strong feeling also that congress should now
revoke the presld ent's authority to hand the
roads hack to private ownership whenever he
sees fit and fix a definite date for the return
thus giving congress time to consider suitable
legislation regulating their future management

has no doubt that private operation of the roads
is more efficient and economical than state op-

THE NEGLECTED. AGE.

With our general enthusiasm for
education, it may DO. surprise To
rs to learn that during the most
important period OF their lives our
children are absolutely neglected. In
Good Housekeeping Olivia Howard
Dunbar speaks the need Of state SUI
pervision to supply what mothers
themselves have neglected
Small persons who are graduates
from their mothers laps yet below
school age have never-until now
been regarded as matter OF active
public concern. But neglect Of the
child OF from two TO six years old
Is coming to be perceived rs neglect
And that is the beginning Of . new
order.
No period can be more. important
than that during which the child's
character and mental habits, his
health status. his general adaptation
to life are daily being nodded in the
most formidably definite way; that
the age of six is not only too late to
begin q child's right education in the
larger sense, but also. unfortunately,
too late to begin Investigating ais
health defects and the home condi-
tons that may produce these; In
deed. that the future welfare and
productiveness OF the human being
depend upon the conditions prevail,
ing during these early years
1t may be depressing TO be told
that the average man or woman OF
US has developed only abont one
tenth Of his or her natural resources.
But 1t is CORRESPONDENCE inspiriting

A WRONG DETERMINATION.

Chicago Tribune: BY putting stump
tuary regulation in organic law we
foreclose the decisions OF the future.
We make decisions for people not as
yet born, for generations of Ameri-
cans who have yet to live. The NOR
alistic impulses of one generation of
Americans, impulses dealing with
custom, habit, and heretofore sane
toned and regulated appetite, have
no divine right in such a role.
Our impulses have no divine
sovereignty over the future Statu-
tory law is fluid. 1t follows the ideas
sof the existing generation. Organic
law is static. 1t domineers the sue
ceeding generations. 1t does assert
sovereignty and control For this
reason we believe that the method
by which prohibition is being estab-
lished in the United States is wrong
Prohibition OF the making and sale
and use OF alcoholic drinks does not
concern fundamental principle of
human rights. 1t Is social corTec-
tive. 1t is one to which one genera
ton OF people may adhere and with
which another may disagree. To the
enthusiast who believes that the
demon rum Is wholly evil and the
use OF 1t as a national calamity the
method OF suppressing the use will
seem good as 1t proves effective But
not SO to any person who has any
regard for the manner In which the
country is organized and ruled.
Prohibition by constitutional amend
ment is a regulation of personal habit
and social custom by the least fiex-
ible dictate the country can issue.
Such an inflexible dictate in the mat
ter of personal habit and social Gus
tom is essentially in error
1t Is useless to argue the matter.
1t is probably determined. But It. is
fair to state an opinion that the de-
termination is wrong and the method
of declaring the decision is wrong.
We have been driven to an i'll CON
sidered method, at variance with our
whole scheme of political and social
management. II has the name of vir-
tue, but not its fundamentals.

HIGH COST OF COURTING.

That reprobate, old Hi Cost, is not re-
specter of the little god Cupid more than
of any one else, and as consequence lovers
in Atlanta are complaining at the high cost
of becoming engaged.
Would-be benedicts who are confronted
these days with the necessity of choosing
wedding rings find that jewelers. are not
featuring the old-time golden bands which
used to grace the fourth fingers of their
grandnothers Plain gold rings, wide and
heavy, long ago gave way to slender and less
weighty evidence of the marriage tie, and
now the modern gold band ring has a rival
in the diamond circlet set in platinum and
other novel wedding rings. They are more
EXPENSIVE, alas, aud newer and more beau
tiful. and, therefore, craved by every BRIDE
elect So. in the future when man becomes
engaged he will have to figure in as much
for his wedding ring as for his priceless soil
taire. If he hesitates he should be given ms
walking papers, for he would not deserve
the Georgia treasure he would make his
housekeeper.
