IF YOU DESPAIR
By H. Addington Bruce

u UDDENLY, out OF clear sky, bad news
has come to you.
~ You have perhaps received notice OF
dismissal from a position you have been
holding for years. Perhaps financial panic
has swept away your savings of lifetime.
Or perhaps the doctor has warned you that
you are afflicted with serious disease.
In any of these events the tendency is
strong to yield to despair. Resist this ten
dency with all the will-power at your COM
mand
For deplorable as your condition may
seem, it is certain to become infinitely worse
if you despair Then, indeed, all possibility
of working a way out Of the disaster that
has befallen will be swept away from you.
Whereas, by courageously clinging to hope
you may Unexpectedly find yourself drawing
on reserves of energy sufficient to retrieve
your fallen fortunes, it may be sufficient even
to conquer disease itself and win for you
many more years of life.
Despair, understand this we'll, is some
thing more than state of mental misery
1t is an active agent of evil, whose mischiev-
GUS effects extend to every part of the hu-
man organism.
Like fear and worry-of which it is an
exaggerated compound-it generates poi
sons which, sweeping through the blood,
reach the brain to cloud the judgment, par
alyze initiative, numb every mental faculty.
The heart, the arteries, the stomach, ev-
cry organ is harmfully affected by the toxin
of despair. So potent is it that, as expe-
rience numerously testifes, it may turn the
hair gray in a single night.
Consider, therefore, what this must mean
to one whose financial rebuilding, whose
very life itself, may be dependent on a
| heightening of personal energy. Instead Of a
| frightening there is bound to be, under the
| influence of despair, a steady and profound
| decline.
But hope energies as surely as despair
| n ifo1i ic nf rift
a mere nyodyne in time Of trouble. 1t is a
| positive, dynamic generator of new strength.
With reason the poet Young affirmed:
| Hope of all passions most befriends us
here"
With equal reason, and more specifically,
the modern psychologists explain:
| Experience shows that all the bodily
processes are quickened by pleasant emotion
al attitudes. These influence favorably ev-
| cry organ and function, from the beating of
the heart to the working of the brain.
| Hope is distinctly a pleasant emotional
attitude. 1t is one Of the pleasantest In pro-
portion, then, it is spontaneously develop
| ed or sedulously cultivated 1t exercises on
! the organism a beneficial influence reflect
ed in increased bodily vigor and increased
power to achieve"
| Often it is hard indeed to hope. Often
| despair seems the inevitable thing. But since
| despair and perish may almost be written
INTERCHANGEABLE, he is indeed foolish who
lets despair possess his soul.
| l am reminded and would remind YOU
of the old Chinese query:
"To what purpose would person throw
himself into the water before the bark is 60
ing to be cast away?"

South Atlantic region are some OF the most
important ports of the entire country ana
that their foreign commerce is now being de-
veloped to an unprecedented extent F'urther:
Scores of shipping board ships Will be oper-
ated out of them, and it seems on the surface
that there is no logical reason why the snip

after news of the dread crime and disaster
reached our shores: after all is said, we
! must still go slow, except as to making clear
our protest and the fact that reparation will
be demanded" And two days later: ''In a
month or two will be able to view in the
same (sane?) light the present German Incl
dent. We will be able to see clearly that
the most unfortunate step that could have
been taken would be a declaration of war"
Yet the very pen from which these cool coun-
sells fell when sentiment against the Hunnish
deed was hottest, now pours denunciation
upon Georgia's senior Senator because for
sooth he gave expression Gas they allege,
but as he denies) to that same opinion.
In Kidding this flimsy canard the Senator
remarked that Germany did not notify
Americans to stay off the high seas until
February /, 1917" That, as anyone who
chances at the official record Of events can
verify, was the date upon which the cam
paign of indiscriminate U-boat warfare
announced to begin-the date, 1t may truly
be said, which predestined Americas en-
trance into the world conflict. So well anthem
ticated fact, one might assume, would go
unchallenged by intelligent observers. But
not so with Senator Smiths defamers. They
will not accept history because history is on
his side Instead, they go back to German
advertisement which Won Bernstorff caused
to be inserted in few newspapers in this
country in the spring of 1913 some two
weeks before the sinking of the Lusitania,
in which travellers were vaguely warned
against taking passage on Allied vessels.
Now, it is we'll remembered that the Ger
man Government commended that this obscure
and casual advertisement constituted due
notice against Americans travelling the h1gh
SEAS and upon that ground sought to ex-
tenuate the Lusitania crime. But no one In
this country, outside of a few hpyhenates,
ever c0ncurred in that claim except Senator
Smiths precipitate foes of today. They sWal-
low the German contention whole, and de-
nounce him as a falsifier because he sticks to
the American record.
But surely the public is prepared for any
emanations from those quarters since IL was
solemnly informed few days ago that the
Iusitania was sunk on her homeWard voy-
age, laden with wounded American soldiers!
If something is not done to relieve the BRAIN
tempests of the Senator's enemies, they Will
soon be telling us that Christopher columbus
sank the Lusitania and that Hoke Smith is
being aided and abetted by the man In the
moon. 1t is sad fate, we grant, to fare
doughtily forth with the League of Nations
for an issue, only to be driven back in pell-
nell confusion. But that misfortune does not
Justify political clique in flinglng all
scruples to the wind and dashing headlong
into preposterous libels against as able ana
as devoted public servant as Georgia or the
South ever knew.

the committees decision to Secretary Hous-
ton.
Arrangements for funding the loans in
longtime notes were made by the treasury
with the governments concerned some months
ago, but at the request of the committee the
operation of the plan was deferred pending
an inquiry as to the need for specific legisla-
tive authority.
The mysterious disappearance of nine
carat egg-shaped brilliant diamond set as a
one-stone marquse ring, valued at $4,000
from a gold mesh bag in the home of Mrs.
Harry Turek, at $50 West End avenue, New
York city, early last Thursday morning, is
engaging the attention of detectives from
the West Sixty-eighth street station, as we'll
as private detectives employed by MRS.
Tureks husband, a prosperous real estate
operator on the upper west side. The mar
uuise ring was stolen from among several
articles of jewelry in Mrs. Turek's meshbag,
valued at more than $4,000, and the theft
was effected while Mrs. Turek was in bed
less than five feet from the meshbag.
Sir George Foster, acting premier, in
formed a delegation of officials Of the Great
War Veterans association at Ottawa, Can
ada that the government would announce
in few days it's decision on requests for a
bonus for former service men. 1t is esti-
mated that if a bonus is granted as requested
by the recent convention of the association
it will cost the Dominion $352,000,000.
Various theories have been given regarding
the use of orange blossoms as bridal orna-
ments. The custom is supposed to have been
brought to Europe by the Crusaders from the
East, the Saracen brides being accustomed

to wear orange wreaths at their marriage. To
this objection raised that although the
orange tree was brought to England as early
as 1890, it was long before there was any
real cultivation of it even in greenhouses.
second theory is that orange blossoms came
to be worn by brides on their marriage be-
cause they were not only scented but also
were rare and costly, and so within the reach
of only the noble and rich, that indicating the
bride had to be of high rank third is that
orange bridal wreaths had their origin in
Spain, where oranges have been cultivated for
centuries. Thence the fashion passed to
France, and by means of French millinery
was spread to other lands.
The campaign to raise $250,OO0 for the
restoration of President Roosevelt's birth
place, at 20 East Twentieth street, begins
shortly and will last ten days. This home is
in New York. When restored Roosevelt
House will be the third shrine for the attrac-
ton of patriotic pilgrims. Wasnington's
home and Lincoln's log cabin being the 9TH
ers. 1t will contain much of the original
furniture, and the room will be restored to
an appearance as nearly like the original as
possible. A large room will be devoted to
the preservation of letters, manuscripts and
other personal mementos of Colonel Roose-
welt, together with library of all the books
he wrote.
The possibility of a cabinet crisis in Italy
is suggested by the Giorna1e d'Italia newspa-
per of Rome. 1t says Premier Mite himself
admits that he may be unable to obtain a
vote of confidence in the chamber.
In this case, says the newspaper, either
Professor Luigi Luzzati, the minister of the
treasury, or Signor Benomi, the minister of
war, would succeed Signor Nitti as premier,
or Premier Nitti would be intrusted with the
task of forming another ministry.

RED TAPE
By DR.. Frank Crane

Our vices, said a witty Frenchman, are our
virtues carried to excess.
System is virtue; when it is carried to
excess it becomes red tape which is vice.
What YOU want is efficiency. 1t is for that
you adopt system. But when you think more
of your system than of the thing for which
system is the means, you are lassong yourself
instead of the steer
Everybody loves neat room, but there is
such thing as having it so orderly that no.
body wants to live in it.
The most important thing to know about
rules is when to break them.
Ali discipline ought to bend little anc
it will be broken less
Even in the army, where discipline is Of
prime importance, that soldier is rareSt ant
most valuable who knows how and when tt
diSobey in order to bring victory. And every
commanders word ought to be sharp enough
to cut Gordian knots.
The very thing that makes government 'ef
ficent renders it inefficient Employees are giver
their orders and must observe them; they mus
do exactly as they are told; they are not t.
think but to obey. The result is a very
smoothly running machine.
And the further result is that most of tht
effort expended is toward making the machine
operate nicely, with little thought as to Wha
is to be produced
1t is necessary over every perfect organza
ton to have some man who can and may Sc
the whole system aside, upon occasion, in order
to get things done promptly.
Over every democracy there must be ar
autocratic head, who may, with certain limita
tons, do as he pleaSes.
Behind the school teacher must be the nu
man being, ready when necessary to brush aside
all rules and regulations and grasp soul.
There must be certain customs and de-
cencieS in every household, but there should
be some lawless love in every father and mother
that can Swoop down when hearts cry.
For after all system and obedience and rec
tape are only substitutes for devotion and in,
tellgence. If we all loved perfectly and knew
perfectly we should need no rules.
And red tape is human device. Sometimes
1t is wrong.
Nature is exact, and all her whirlng worlds
her cells and microbes go along marked paths
and she suffers no exceptions; but then behinc
nature is an all-wise mind, and an al-lovine
heart, that makes no mistakes.
Even above the Ten Commandments is Al
mighty God.

way-may even pause for lunch where
Adams and Monroe, Hamilton and Aaron
Burr were wont to stay overnight on their
journeys between their homes in New York
and the capital at Philadelphia and later at
Washington.
A hundred years ago this halfway house
was at the zenith of it's activities. There
each night were put up the passengers and
the horses from thirty coaches--fifteen
bound in each direction A hundred horses
were stabbed to relay this fastest of the trans
portation of the day. Clamorous was the
scene early in the morning, when swarms
OF hostlers were preparing the teams, when

MONCI the steady streams OF 1ndoTse-

and business leaders none is more cordial or
more significant than that Of Mr.. James ID.
Weaver vice president Of the Georgia FARM
ers' Union. Speaking as watchtul advocate
Of the interests of the man behind the ploW,
Mr. Weaver Declares
am supporting Senator Hoke Smltn
in this campaign because l regard him
as the ablest representative the agricul-
tural interests have ever had In W ASH
ington, either from Georgia or any other
state: because think the time has come
when the Democratic South, which tur-
nishes the votes to elect Democratic
presidents, should begin to furnish the
presidential nominees because Senator
Smith is qualified in every respect, ny
ability and experience, to serve as Dresl-
dent, and in that office, as in the senate,
would be conspicuous champion OF the
interests of the farmers, upon whose
prosperity the nation depends.
This be it Observed is not the tribute OF
politician; it is the tribute of keen and
seasoned student of agricultural Legislation.
1t is the tribute of one who lnvarlabiy ap-
plies to public men and measures what IS
aptly called "the orchard Testify their
fruits We shall know them" Year after year
he has watched the record of Georgia s
senior Senator in it's making; has seen him
go into battle after battle where the rights
and interests of agriculture were at stake;
has seen him come forth again and again
with victory for that cause; has found him

what Georgia farmer" Mr.. Weaver con-
cludes, knowing Senator Smiths record can
be against him? What Georgia farmer, in
dorsing that record, can fail to go to the
polls and vote for him on the 10th of April?"
That question is Of utmost Importance to the
cause of agriculture and to the cause of De-
mocracy. 1t will be answered, we doubt not,
with an intelligent, patriotic and an over
whelmingly decisive vote for Senator Smith in
the approaching primary.
