BEGIN HERE TODAY

Helga Sorenson, who herein tells
her own story, has just broken her
engagement - confessing to her
fiance that she had deliberately
trapped him for his money and that
freeing him was the first honest
thing she had ever done. Today she
finds herself on the verge of a new
and greater adventure.

My brain seemed to be speeding
into a vaguely disturbing future, a
fantastic sort of thing Of distorted
values and of unrealities.
Suddenly my mind focused on
marriage. | wondered whether there
had been after all really big prin-

caprice which swung my frail craft

woman does, marriage never elimi-

of living.
1t may Turk in the background as
a comfortable alternative when some
burden becomes too heavy, it may
glow in the distance as the luminous
climax of a life of rigid virtue, but
it is there always.
Philip Ames' laugh broke through
my musing.

THE appointment of John N.

appears to have met with widespread
approval Mr.. Holder, who was for
merry speaker Of the Georgia house
and therefore has been a figure of
state Importance for some years, is a
man of high integrity, fine personal
ity and ability. The fact that his race
for the governorship did not land him
in the chair is no indication of his
real standing in Georgia, for he was
entered in an unusual campaign,
when passions and politics played a
greater part than calm judgments.
Perhaps, as has been limited, he may
try again at some mure suspicious
time and fare better at the hands of
the voters.
At any rate, i1e will probably fill
the position of highway commissioner
as we'll as could any other man who
Is not technically trained in that di-
rection. Personally, we believe the
state would not have been the loser
had the governor seen fit to reap
point DR.. Strahan, of the University,
whose term is expiring. But even
without him the board still will be
well supplied with technical men, and
Mr.. Holder will bring to the board
business brains and ability to get
things done, attributes frequently
lacking in purely technically trained
men. The governor might have done
much worse in filling the highway
board vacancy.

the following:
''The South is too much given to
hollering. We are forever crying
wolf, and when help comes we deny
that we need help. Southern polite
ians and office-holders have been cry
ing aloud about starvation prices of
farm products and declaring that con-
ditions existed next to a famine.
When the government starts an in
vestigation and finds that sure enough
there is danger of spread of pei
lagra, then we set right up another
holler and affirm that everything is
all right, We have everything we
want,
ut is possible that we are divided
into two camps. One camp is all the
time crying for help, and the other
crowd is too proud to accept help
when it comes. Anyhow, President
Harding, having set his hands to the
pillow is not disposed to turn back. He
seems to understand the Southern up
rising and insists that the report of
the medical experts warrants an at
tempt on the part of the government
to stamp out Pellagra."

THE use of anaesthetics was one of

Herodotus recorded that the Scyn-
thians produced painless state of

hemp seed.
Pliny, the naturalist, who died in
the year 10, wrote this about a plant
called nfandragora: ut has a sopor-

DEDISCOVERY of a lost art,
however, is as important as the
original discovery
Doctors Long and Morton saved
millions from pain. Statues will be
erected to them-but not many, for
they merely found a way to prevent
suffering.
Most of the statues are erected in
honor OF those who spread suffering
warriors.
We do a lot of things backward
in this contradictory thing called life.

ON THE PREVENTION OF WAR
(E. S. Martin in Life)


1t illustrates the incompleteness
of the qualification of the world at
this time that the builders have
just turned over to the United
States a d~readnaught, the Mary
land, which has cost, with her eQ-
uipment. $4,000 900. The Mary
land ome to our depleted arms
with the recommendation that she
carries the most powerful arm
ament of any ship afloat. Among
other things she has eight sixteen
inch guns, each Of which cost $780,
600 and can be fired about 100
times. Besides that she has a lot of
other gun and carries a crew Of
1900 and 100 officers, and it will
cost, including salaries, about $2.-
100000 a year to keep her going.
Forty years ago the best battle
ship cost about s2,5OO,OOO, so the
standard has risen considerably.
We are paying $42,OOO,O 600 for the
Maryland while our harbors are
crowded with government built
merchant ships for which at pres
ent there is no demand and of course
we have more warships coming, all
extremely expensive. The fact that
we have them helps to keep other
nations moving in the same direc-
ton at cost of expenditures which
none of them can afford even as
we'll as we can and that is not say
ing much, for $42,000,0O0 disburse-
ments are not even welcome here.
That amount Of money could endow
a pretty good university or eight or
ten hospitals, or feed a lot of starv-
ing people in Europe; and of course,
these expensive dreadnaughts are
| Of no use whatever except to dimin-
ferocious than we are, putting some
thing Over on us that Is not to our
advantage.
The conference in November for
the limitation of ornaments has
been called to diminish these un-
welcome expenditures. The hope of
its success is based on the facts of
current life. Here is civilization
trying to set on its legs after a
knockout. 1t needs all the money it
can scrape together for reconstruc-
ton, food, wages and general re-
Mobilization Of the apparatus of liv-
ing. These expenditures for war;
ships cannot help it in the slightest
degree. On the contrary they hold
it down in two ways-because they
waste money enormously and be-
cause they compel a like waste in
other nations. To take the $42,-
100000 Maryland out to sea and sink
her would be a signal and helpful
economy. Only one thing she is
good for-for use as an argument.
There she floats, an example Of hu-
mar waste and folly. She says to
the conferences: II represent what
the United States can do. She can
do it more than any other country
without collapse. If you all go IL
for competitive armament building
she will probably be the survivor
for she Is the worlds richest coun
try"

management Of a political division,
and the privilege of prosecuting a
suit for alleged damages in the
name Of that political division.
The broad field of comment on tho
official management of the affairs
is concisely stated by Judge Fisher
when he says:
I'm a free state every part Of
government, general or local, ex-
lists for the good of the governed
and not for the governors. The gov
erned, who constitute it, participate
through their representatives in the
whole machinery of government.
The public business is the business
of all the citizens and the officials
having direct charge from time to
time are but their servants manag-
ing their affairs for their good.
The worthy citizen takes an inter-
est in these affairs as he does in
his personal matters, and holds his
representatives strictly accountable
for their stewardship. He retains
the absolute right to comment with
other citizens, censures and praises
as he desires, to obtain service in
conformity with his conception of
public good, as well as to advise
with the other citizens on the ne
cessity or desirability OF a change.
So long as he does that without ad-
vocatng unlawful means or melting
a breach of the peace he is not only
within his absolute rights but he

"A municipality is never anything
but a public body. In the further
ance of the public good it can en-
gage in certain private enterprises
but that can eve be used as a
SHE'D to ward off adverse criticism,
no matter how injurious, of the act
of its officials, Of the management
of it's affairs, of its financial con-
dition, or OF anything which might
tend to keep its citizens sufficiently
informed to be able to guard ag-
ainst its abuses.
stripped of all elaborate argu-
ment in the confusion of which the
question for decision might look diff
ficult, the fact remains that, II this
action is maintainable, then public
officials have In their power one of
the most effective instruments with
which to intimidate the press and
silence their enemies. 1t Is a wea-
pom to be held over the head of
every one who dares print or speak
unfavorably of the men in power.
This action Is not in harmony with
the genius spirit and objects Of our
institutions. 1t does not belong in
our day. 1t fits rather with the gen
ius of the rules who conceived law
not in the purity of love for JUS
tice but in the lustful passion for
undisturbed power."-Exchange.
