To the Credit of the Democrats

w HENEVER the fight is on and the Republicans
Wv charge the Democratic trenches this year. have
in mind piece of Democratic legislation which not
even the most foolhardy will dare attack

which Mr. Wilson and the Democratic party wholly

it with all the at their command and that after
it certain that would have bank system
they fought bitterly for just banka central bank
which would of be located in New ork City, and
therefore easier of control by the old Wall Street in
terests.
But Mr. Wilson firm, and Carter Glass, and other

firm, and got the twelve regional banks and
the people have been safeguarded against panic and OPP
pressons of Wall Street any other interests combi-

The Federal Reserve Banking System the Declar-

tons and has forever freed the people of the
sions of the money barons
When you go to weigh Wilson and the Democratic
party in the balance this great will have to
be taken into consideration.

The Aim of Education

T OWHERE have we seen so strong an argument for
y education as contained in part of an address by
Dr. NJ NJ. Parks of the Georgia Normal and Industrial
College for girls at Milledgevle
In answer to the question what is the aid of educa
ton he makes this answer
The Student says Books
The Scholar says knowledge
The Preacher says Character.
The Minister says Service.
The Philosopher says Truth.
The Artist SAYS Beauty
The Epicurean says Happiness
The Stole says Self-control.
The Christian says Self-denial
The Democrat says Self-goverment
The Statesman says Cooperation.
The Ruler says Loyalty.
The Patriot says Patriotism.
The Judge says Justice.
The Aged Man says Wisdom.
The Youth says Achievement.
The Soldier says Courage
The Editor says Success.
The Manufacturer says Efficiency.
The Banker says Wealth.
The Dreamer says Vision.
The Child says Play
The Maiden says Love-
The Man says Work. .
The Friend says Friendship
The Pedagogue says Personality
The Physician says Health.
The Biologist says Growth.
The Psychologist says Embodiment.
The Sociologist says Adjustment.
But the true Educator says all of these, and more
must be the aim of Education To realize many of these
ideals of Education the true Educator feels that the
school needs greater cooperation greater support great
democracy, and greater efcencsy Our schools are
doing wonderful work, but not half as wonderful as
they should do.
The aim of Education is broader than mere scholar
ship The schools, endeavoring to promote scholarship
are doing good but scholarship alone is only part of
the great work of Education Education broader
than the schools.

The Poison Label

VIZ have no fear of any harm coming to the proh-
Wv bition laws from the epidemic of wood alcohol
occurring all the country. If anything, the
effect will be to strengthen the laws.
The only difference in results between the of wood
alcohol and the other kind is that violent
death in hour two while the other gives ndeter
inmate death sentence like ncurable
other such disease
'The wages of sin is death" and the proper insignia
with which to label alcohol of any character is the skull
and bonesthe poison labelso far human is
concerned.
The clipping below from The Elberton Star shows
how the whiskey people in their bowls about the wood
alcohol deaths really sticking harder than the
poison label on the whole alcohol business:
"The rum Dealers without job, raising great
hue and cry about wood alcohol killing many people,
evidently trying to make the prohibitionss sorry they
made the country bone dry They do not know for
person killed directly with wood alcohol there ten
to hundred persons killed indirectly by the other kind
of alcohol in the days that to return And
the effect of their campaign in this just like
their every effort in the pasthepfu rather than hurtfu
to the of truth and soberness-because they are
making blind tiger patrons afraid drink what they
buy"

Almost a Sacrilege

4 MONG the dozens of sheets Of publicity matter
"A from committees coming to our desk as usual this
week. our attention attracted by the following little
human interest story which designed to nculcate
sympathy for the starving Armenans We repeat it as
we remember it.
couple of gentlemen who had had very active day
without lunch, restaurant in the evening await
ing dinner The walters had passel all around them and
served many yet these two waited One remarked 81 was
so hungry in my life" And the other replied, 81
knew before what it to be hungry. Tomorrow
! am going to send check to the Armenians"
Let us hope anyway that this gentleman remembered
his good resolution the morrow but somehow sadly
fear that with the generous and satisfying NEAL and the
night of pleasant sleep the thought of those starving
Armenians fled like unpleasant dream.
But to it almost sacrilege to compare the
feelings of who have simply missed meal two
meals with the gaunt despair of the suffering and
perishing Armenians
That evening in that restaurant very likely
wasted enough food to keep Armenian child from
suffering for whole year. And perhaps not of the
gay diners but might have missed the meal entirely with
out pang of hunger, have given enough to keep
orphan year without missing it, if they had only
membered!
