The Night Beautiful.
q w Bivins in Butler Herald.

Much has been said and written about the
beauties of the day. From time mmemoflal
they have been immortaLed in song ana
story. From lofty mountain peaks gifted poets
and brilliant writer's, divincly inspired, with
flaming pen have portrayed the subilfr1ty OF
the dawn, and the regal sp1endor of the rising
SUM- With matchless eloquenCe they have pct
ured the enhancing sunset, in all ITS radiance
Yet, in comparison, few lines have been deGi-
Gated to the majestic Night, serene and beau
tiful
Soon after the day-god has vanished be-
You'd the western slope IN blaze OF glory
the evening shades appear, and busy world
sinks down on its couch with a sigh Tor the
blessing of rest.
Verify the guardian angels seem to turn
low the lights of heaven, close the blinds, and
gently draw over weary world the soft COW
ering of Night for the respite Of soul and
body; and sleep, gentle sleep, kisses down our
eyelids in peaceful slumber
Oh, Night, thou beautiful and enchanting
queen with starry crown the mellow moon
beams lighting thy way! How welcome thou
art to a tired world! Though arrayed IN
sombre robes thy sparkling jewels are mar
vel of beauty that surpasseth all understand
ing; and still, thou art a tranquil messen-
ger, symbolizng love and peace and rest. In
the golden silence OF thy gracious presence
we pay homage to thee.
Thou contest when the whippOOrWlll and
the nightingale are singing; when the dew
drops of heaven are kissing the lily and the
rose. Thy voice is the sweet cadence of sooth-
ing winds, charming the lovers mid palms
and ferns. Thy breath is the gentle zephyr,
fresh with health and the fragrance OF flow
ers; and thy soft touch quets and soothes
many an aching heart. The fairies and dream
land all are thine, and the queen earth IS the
carpet over which thou dost noiselessly glide,
lulling the world to rest

CITY VS.. Country.

Irving T. Bush builder of the Bush terml-
nal in New York city, declares that If he
were a young man today he would engage in
farming or in some business closely related
to agriculture 1t is the conclusion OF his ma
ture life that while the attractions OF the city
are great those of the country, on the whole,
are greater considering health, comfort and
freedom from social disaster. Good times
on the farm" says Mr.. Bush, "are as good
as anywhere else, and bad times are less bur
densome" This is the conviction of man
who has made a great success in the city.
Mr.. Bush is not the first to discover that lite
in the country has compensations that the
civ cannot afford. The trouble is, however,
that they generally are discovered when it IS
too late. City life is not without its compen-
sations, but there is something very appeal
ing in the serenity and tranquility OF country
life Mr. Bush's remark that bad times on
the farm are less burdensome than bad times
in the city is something worth remembering.
The farmer has resources that no sort OF
times can deprive him of. However, we are
such a queer lot that the country folks will
very likely continue to long for the city, and
the city folks for the country. The other TEL
lows Job always looks better.

Grade Crossings.

The man who tries to beat fast train to
crossing is a nut-Commerce Observer.
It is impossible to devise fool-proof grade
crossing. If grade crossings are to continue
it will be necessary if automobile fatalities
are to be ended, either to legislate discretion
and good sense into automobile drivers or to
install gates or a hagman at every crossing
Neither one of these alternatives is possible
The only absolutely safe crossing is an over
head or an underway crossing. Doubtless the
condition of many grade crossings could be
improved and that ought to be done But 1t
is question whether all responsibility Tor
safety should be taken away from the auto
mobile driver. The elimination of automobile
accidents is something that the automobile
driver should be able to take care OF himself
It is almost impossible to believe that there
is any good excuse for the larger number OF
the collisions at the average crossing The
number of accidents could be reduced to the
vanishing point if the automobile driver would
exercise ordinary discretion and care. stop,
look and listen" would do the business, but
whoever heard of an automobile driver even
hestating as he approached a grade crossing?
Many times it is a race with the locomotive,
and usually the locomotive wins. 1t is strange
how we expect a paternal government to pro-
tect US from consequences of our own TOOL
ishness and stupidity.

The Senate's Rebuke.

The expected thing occurred when Presi-
dent Harding boldly went to the senate lead
ers and reminded them why he had called
special session of congress. He was nice about
il, of course, but his rebuke of the upper
house was none the less a rebuke. Indeed
chastisement may be accompanied by smile
1t has been apparent for some time that
the legislators had not moved rapidly enough
in the direction of the detectives named by
the administration Extraneous subjects had
been discussed. Time had been killed, with
meandering program followed. The leaders
of the senate either were listless or indiffer-
ent At any rate they had failed to accom-
plish what was asked by the administration,
what was generally understood throughout
the country as the most pressing need. Now,
a rebuke.
Mr. Harding is believed to be a firm,
steady executive. 1t is not to be suspected
that he is less insistent because he is affable
and agreeable. Iron may be found under
MANY pleasing exterior. The senate leaders
may have counted too much on acquaintance.
Mr.. Harding had been a senator. They knew
him well. He was a familiar character with
years of service behind him in the upper
house. He had hobnobbed with the leaders
in the cloakrooms, and they must have thought
that they knew him so we'll they could trust
him to let them alone He had promised not
to interfere with congress- but he had not
said he would let congress do as it pleased to
the extent of wasting the nations precious
time on unimportant matters. 1t is recalled
that in drawing the line between the legisla-
-, braDcbac Of the H.
ment Mr. Harding had let it be quite fully
understood that he was to be president. That,
it appears, was not enough for the senators
who at last tested him too far.
Now, if congress fails to respond to the
presidents frank reminder he will have per-
feet legal and moral right to go farther.

We Ought to Be Thankful.
From the Worth County Local.

The trend of the times is for the better.
Farmers are beginning to take heart and
accept the inevitable. They are not the
only ones hit, and they begin to see this
The real hard times are in the east around
the factory centers where the factories are
all shut down.-Dawson News.
The folks down here in Gods country
ought to be thankful that they have plenty to
eat and something to wear. The business de-
preston has somewhat Inconvenience them
and upset their plans for expansion, but they
know nothing about suffering and want In
the east, where the factories are closed, thous-
ands and thousands are actually hungry and
in rags. We ought to be ashamed to grumb1e
when we consider the pitiful condition of
these people.

The Dawson News as a Model
]. B. Nevil in Atlanta Georgian.

The best and surest way I know to feel
the pulse of the people of Georgia is to at
tend these press meetings.
These newspaper editors are very close to
their constituents, and no state in the union
has a better weekly press than Georgia. l re-
peat now what l have said time and again
before No state in the south touching the
state of Georgia has weekly press remotely
comparable with it.
The Dawson News-to pick one paper
from a number OF high class weeklies-is a
newspaper that we'll might serve as a model
for towns twenty times the size of Dawson,
and there are dozens of newspapers in Geor-
gia of the weekly persuasion of which the
same may be said.
Really, the excellence and high standard
Of the weekly press of Georgia is amazing.
How i'll the world these editors in these small
country towns, where their circulation must
be measured by hundreds rather than thous-
ands, can hold their newspapers to the stand
ard OF excellence maintained is amazing to
me, for as complex. veXing and as fretting
as certain phases OF conducting a newspaper
in a large city are concerned they are no
more so in proportion than are the problems
besetting the country editor-perhaps not SO
much.

Waste of Life in Streets.
From the New York World.

A startling realization of the perils. of the
streets is afforded by the statistics of traffic
casualties presented by William Phelphs Emo
at the conference on highway traffic regula-
tons held at Yale University. While during
the nineteen months the United States was
in the war $4,000 men were killed in battle
or died of wounds in the same period, &C
cording to Mr.. Emo, $1,000 persons were kill
ed on the highways of the United States and
of these $4,000 were children.
If these figures are authentic they reveal
a waste of life in the public streets wholly
criminal in its wantonness This is human
sacrifice of the costliest kind, precious lives
devoted not to a cause or an ideal, but ruth
lessly crushed out in a manner that makes
their loss a lasting reproach to their country.
Life has become cheap enough in America,
but is it anywhere so cheap as in the streets?
The time has come when it would seem to
demand some of the public protection there
that it receives in the factory and in the home.
What is the net gain from saving life in other
quarters and wasting it in the thoroughfares?
The lesson of the wanton sacrifice to traffic,
which grows annually worse, is that every
possible safeguard should be applied which
human ingenuity can devise and at any con-
ceivable cost to municipal administration

Savings Are Increased.

The captains of industry ought to be pleas
ed by the announcement that, in spite of the
reduction in their own bank accounts, the
savings of the masses have been increased
more than $20O,00O0OO in a year. The exact
figures as supplied by the federal reserve
shows this increase to be $238,000000, with
the total amount of savings in 817 banks in
more than 100 cities put at $2942 ,9Ol 900. The
increase in savings has been possible regard
less of unemployment, decreased wages and
the failure of some prices to decline to the
level justified by conditions. Indeed, the
family stocking has bulged more and more
with its filling of dollars and dimes and nick
els. This, of course, was accomplished by
the practice of thrift The public, which had
recovered from its frantic buying of luxuries,
cut its needs to the bone, and put money in
the bank. That hurt trade somewhat, but it
is not difficult now to see wherein this very
process of retrenchment on the part OF the
masses is destined to help business when the
proper time comes.

Georgia Bill Of Fare.
From the Atlanta Journal.

Equally as vigorous and infinitely more
serviceabe than Jacks giant-burdened bean
stalk is Toombs county Himalaya that has
yielded forty delicious quarts thus far and
bids fair to total sixty or more ere the sea-
son ends. Add this to the list, we'll says

use, for canning and preserving in a score
of palatable ways, or grown proftably Tor

berries, gooseberries and dewberries."
The treasure roll might be multiplied and
then extended to plums, damsons, currants
cherries peaches, pears and watermelons, of
which Mark Twain observed that this as
suredly was not the forbidden" fruit, else
Eve would never have repented Of eating it.
An Empire state in truth it is that pro-
duces both mountain laurel and semi-tropic

wool and cotton calabashes and Hiwalaya
berries that bear sixty quarts a vine.

DEPENDING ON THE GOVERNMENT.

From the Jackson Progress-Argus
Too many people are depending on the
state and government to help them. Such
a theory is rot pure and simple, All any man
needs and should expect is fair, square op-
portunity to work out his own destiny. The
government should cut out the helping bust
let every man hoe his own row. We are op-
posed to the government running our schools
and working our roads. There is no such
thing as government aid being free. Every
dollar the government has it collects from the
taxpayers and every free" thing you get
from the government you pay dearly for.

From the Los Angeles Times.
According to the chemical experts the
grasshopper should be one of the best foods
extant. Wherever man or beast have eaten
of them in large numbers they have thrived
The scientist says that the grasshopper is
more than 40 per cent fat and that it is stuff
ed with proteins. Maybe the restaurants have
been serving us grasshoppers for lamb chops
when we were not looking. We always knew
that grasshopper had a kick in it.

A Mans World.

An Iowa girl, Miss Bernice Kern, of Des
Moines, wrote Representative Johnson, OF
Mississippi anent his bill to prohibit women
from smoking in public places, suggesting
that. instead of legislation being employed to
improve the standard OF women, something
should be done to produce better men, Her
argument is very much to the point as can
be seen in the following:
If you start in on your own sex and reg
ulate their lives to such an extent that the
women have better example to follow
you will be doing yourself, your old state
of Mississippi and the nation IN general a
great service. This has been mans world
long enough, and we women are ready and
willing to regulate our own affairs as soon
as you leave it to us and spend your time
raising the standard of the man element OF
this country, and the women will prove
themselves worthy of the best you can pro-
duCe.
Il mans world Miss Kern's indictment is
very honest and straight forward and she or
any other woman could find enough evidence
in the observation of almost any man to gain
conviction. 1t has been a mans world, this
old globe 1t is yet, except in spots where
pioneer women are doing good work in Off
cia1 or business positions. Men, as Miss Kern
no doubt will agree, take the supremacy OF
their level for granted. They also assume priv
ieges that make for their own comfort which
they would deny to women without a mo-
ment's hesitation The man does about as he
pleases in this world that has been his own so
long and he has been largely selfish in the bar
gain. The average man will evade and avoid re-
sponsibi1ities in the home that might as well
be partly his own. Usually he is too busy"
What he means is that he does not wish to
be annoyed, and that he wants to do some
thing else.
Men are clever individuals. They usually
are able to find conditions most convenient
as contributing to their own desires and COM
forts. The man who is too busy to do some
thing that his wife has requested of him may
be SO clever that he can find the time to play
checkers or go to a baseball game while she
stays at home with the children. Some times
he graces the front porch with his paper or
magazine or pipe while she washes the dish
es. What dodgers men are, to be sure They
can get out from under more blame in a min
ute than their wives can carry in week.
Miss Kern is quite right; it has been a
mans world long enough. The News would
not suggest that women smoke or praise
them for it, no matter how gracefully they
handle their cirgarettes. Some things, such as
smoking, swearing firing the furnace and
looking to see what made the noise in the
house at midnight, belong more or less to
man. He could, however, with camaradere
that would endear him to the woman unfort-
innate enough to get him, share more OF her
tasks and responsibilities and divide with her
a larger amount of his comforts.

Will Irwin, in his book, THE Next War,
