WASHINGTON, D. c., May s.
If you happen to see in Washington
man, probably hatless, ia the back
of big open auto, gesticulating and
hollering into a rubber disk, very
likely you will have seen Arthur Bris-
bane, Hearst's high-priced editorial
impressario, getting out copy for his
signed "Today" column. Brisbane
works in queer ways and places, and
one of his places is his auto, equipped
with a dictaphone. He loves to get
hold of some man like Congressman
Baer, take him in his machine and
pump the ideas from Baer into the
talking machine.
1t is reported also that Brisbane
has one of his offices fitted as a bed
room, and that he gets up at a. m.
and, after dose of strong hot cof
fee, gives the dictaphone vigorous
barrage.
A resolution has been prepared by
Senator France of Maryland, in
structing the Senate committee on
expenditures in the Department of
Justice to inquire into the use which
HAS Deen mdue VI CHe HdlL IHlIlloH
dollar appropriation made by Con-
gress for the apprehension of an
archists. Congress got very lib
eral after the porch was blown off
Mr. Palmer's house, but while no an
archist has been discovered, convict
ed, or punished, Mr.. Palmer has
spent money literally in campaign
of propaganda against so-called
"reds, Sending out photostat mate
rial and boiler plate to country news
papers by the ton.
1t is charged, also, by Judge An
partment of Justice has been taking
munist activities in order that there
Americus times-recorder., 1920-05-09

might be such activities as the OBJ
jects of raids. If this charge by
Judge Anderson is true, the Senate
wishes to know it.
Senators Borah, Gore and France
are members of this committee and
will see that the inquiry is genu-
inc one.
The taxation program of the Re-
publicans is not likely to add to the
popularity of that party. On April
2 the ways and means committee
made a report outlining certain pol
icies. The committee favors tax
on sales by which it is hoping to
raise three billion dollars year. It
has proposed at the same time to
reduce the excess profits tax by one
billion dollars.
A tax on sales is a frank attempt
to transfer the burden from the few
rich to the many poor. The peo-
pie who buy are the ultimate con-
sumers. A tax of three billions on
sales will be magnified many times
before the revenue reaches the treas
ury. There is no way honestly to
collect a sale tax. Every firm.
which sells to the retail trade is prac-
tically placed on honor to render an
accurate account of money collected
as tax. There is no government
machinery adequate to check up
such returns, and the result is that
the tax becomes only another excuse
for real profteering. All honest
system of taxation would take ac-
count of the enormous dividends
which are officially reported from
month to month and year to year
to the stockholders of great cOrpO-
rations producing the necessaries of
life.

THERE are all sorts of goals in
life.
One fellow wants to be president.
More than one in factD
Others would be the star pitcher OF
a world series team.
Still others would paint pictures.
A few want to be millionaires.
And a lot of 'em have other ambl-
tions.
As for Joe Mikulec (seee photo
above), his idea of good time IS TO
tote 80 pound book around all day,
and his goal is getting the signatures
of all the worlds leading men.
When Joe conceived this ambition,
which was in 1901 he entertained the
notion that there were 10000 men
in all the world whose signatures 1t
would be worth garnering.
And he set out to get them. Been
in 26 countries, starting from Gro
alta. Covered $4,000 miles. And
mas $4,000 signatures. Why tive
times what he set out to get?

Evangelize Georgia

Gated not in the capital of an earth
empire, but in the citadel of the uni
verse; it is there, not cold and life
less marble, but breathing, burning
praising spirit.
The bishop further said, "The
name of Thomas Crittenden, nv first
Sabbath school teacher, is ineffece-
ably engraven on my heart, and in
sist upon it, if / am immortal, his
fame is eternal"
Many reader will find that trib-
ute of Bishop James an expression of
his own heart: love for a certain de-
vout Sunday school teacher.
During these weeks of personal
evangelism, let each Sunday school
teacher seek to win every unconvert-
ed member of the class for Jesus.
A lady teacher in an obscure
Sunday school was marvelously sue
cessful.
Every member of three classes sue
cessively assigned to her was con-
verted.
AS her gifts were not remarkable.
her success was wondered at. By AID
by she ''was not" for God took her.
A little diary was then found which
explained it all. In one place they
found: Resolved, That l will pray
once each day for each member Of
my class by name.''
Further on they found: "Resolved,
That | will pray each day for ali
members of my class by name, and
agonize in prayer
Still further on they found: ere
solved, That I will pray once each
day for each member of my class by
name, and agonize in prayer, and
expect blessing" Was it not now
very plain to them all?
Will not my reader do likewise?

MOTHERS DAY.

From England the idea of setting apart certain day tor
outward the inward love of children mothers,
spread first celebrated in Philadelphia in 1908
Congress, 1914 recognizing the merit and beauty OF the
custom passed resolution designating the second Sunday
May as Mothers Day and for other purposes.
Under the president authorized and requested to issue
of the day. The United States flag
displayed all public buildings and public of
the people for the mothers of the country the people
also requested display the flag at their homes.
Perhaps the Jewish saying puts compacy what hundred
words could no better do:
God could OF be everywhere and therefore he made
mothers
Not only does she bear the child Her work then but begun
hers and guide truly for sickness and
health; bud and blossom into full growth while she slowly
but surely the vhered stem Home the
life Mother the of the home No wonder day has
been apart for her alone
The wonder that nobody thought of But is
pretty with charming that will make endure
surely through the centuries.

ARTICLE VI.
In Praise of Sunday School Teachers.
Prof. Miner Raymond records the
following: Bishop Joanes, in Sab
bath school address the speaker
chanced to hear, urged the young peo-
pie to qualify themselves for and to
engage in the work of Sabbath school
instruction, and among other mo-
tives, presented the Sabbath school
as a field for fame.
"He illustrated his thought by con-
trasting the work of the teacher with
that of countryman of ours who
was ambitious for fame as an artist,
who spent twenty years of study and
labor under the best instruction OBJ
tainable in this country and in Italy,
after which he spent ten years of
diligent toll and succeeded in chisel-
ing a statue of Washington. His
work was transported in a govern
ment ship and located in the campus
of our national capital, and the fame
of the artist was published by the
press of the civilized world"
"But what" said the bishop, sis
the fame of Horace Goodenough
compared with that of the Sabbath
school teacher. The latter goes not
to the marble quarry for the selec-
ton of his material, but to immor-
tai minds; he labors not to chisel a
statue of Washington, but to impress
the image of Jesus; his work is trans
ported not by the navy of a nation,
but by convoy of angels; it is To-
