What a Nation May Not Do?

TITLE Panama has much to learn about
the rights and wrongs of nations. She
continues to protest an arbitral award
because it involves certain territorial con-
cessions to Costa RIGA. Had tie decision
been in her favor, she would have been for
UNFOLDING it, even to the extent of invoking
international pressure; but since it is against
her she is for disregarding court and law,
even in defiance of international good opinion.
If that were the privilege of every liti-
CANT, human society, from the least to the
largest of it's units, would soon revert to saw
agery, or, worse still, sink to the anarchy of
slum. The jais of the world are filled with
persons who foolishly insisted upon liberty
without law, being so intent upon what they
themselves wished to do that they ignored
the rights of others This attitude the
part of nations produces treaty-breaking
Prussianism, with it's harvests of blood and
misery. No State ever was or will be SUI
perior to the moral law.
To enforce the terms of the White award,
Panama protests, would constitute an in
fringement of her Sovereignty to which
contention a thoughtful observer aptly re-
plies: perhaps so, if by sovereignty is
meant the right to repudiate he most solemn
obligation that State can take upon itself;
but of what worth is sovereignty without in
tegrity?" From the days of Machiavelli
down to the world catastrophe Of 1914 the
idea that nation has the right to do wrong
cast certain hue of responsibility over all
sorts of sceptered scoundrels and diplomatic
cheats. But happily the time is dawning
when a nation that robs murders re-
pudiates contract will be no more condoned
Panama, no doubt, will come gracefully up
than an individual who does so.
to her cation, especially since the advice
of her friend, the United States, is emphati-
cally to that effect. But howsoever mighty
nation may be or howsoever jealous of it's
sovereignty, it may rightly go no further be-
yond the law of fair dealing than the lowliest

INTERRUPTIONS
By H. Addington Bruce

r T is, of course, a great mistake to permit
excessive and unnecessary Interruptions
~ when one is working. 1t is as great
mistake to let ones self become annoyed and
disturbed at occasional and necessary inter-
ruptions.
For then ones current of thought is not
merely broken for the time being. Because Of
the inhibiting effect of emotional excitement
it may be completely blocked.
And even when blocking does not take
place. the flow of ideas slows down amazingly.
Still worse, emotional excitement being I'M
commonly productive Of fatigue, the effort to
force ones self to work as theoretically as
| before the interruption may quickly lead to
mental fcgging and exhaustion.
| So that if one does become vexed and irri-
| tated at interruption, the wisest procedure
| is to take few minutes to ''cool down. be-
fore resuming work. Though, obviously, it
| is far better to train ones self that inter-
| ruptions are endured calmly.
| Such training can be achieved the more
readily if one will only appreciate that, after
all, an occasional interruption should actually
have helpful rather than hurtful influence
on the working ability.
Attention, remember, cannot advantageous
ly be held concentrated on any one thing for
| any great length of time. 1t must be mo-
mentarily diverted at OCCASIONAL intervals,
else the power to think effectively will soon
flag and may decrease to vanishing point.
Many workers forget this, or are ignorant
of it. In their desire to get much work done
and to do it we'll they tend to keep their at
tention concentrated beyond the physiology
cal limit of efficiency.
Such workers should consequently well
come, not resent, an OCCASIONAL interruption,
as giving their hard-pressed minds brief in
terval of rest. Unfortunately, they are pre-
cisely the workers who so dread Interruptions
that in many cases they make it an inf1exible
| rule that they are on no account to be inter-
rupted while they are at work.
They may for time imagine that this
rule is of great benefit to them. But, unless
they couple with it rule of frequent volun-
| tary diversion from the task on which they
are engaged, they are certain soon to find
themselves working badly, and may ere long
become victims of a serious nervous break
down.
"Poor Smith," is what one often hears said,
che is so extremely nervous that he cannot
bear the slightest interruption when he is
working at anything, and locks himself in to
keep all Interruptions OUT
Perhaps this inability to endure Interrupt
lions is indeed product of nervousness Yet
it is just as likely that the nervousness has
been brought on by the inability to endure
Interruptions.
Keep thes efacts in mind if you are among
the many who either permit no Interruptions
whatever or fret when Interruptions come.
Learn to regard an occasional interruption as
a blessing in disguise, resting period for
the inauguration of your mental energy.

P;nchbeck Patriotism

IF more patriots were Of the mind Of Juan
De Aragon, there would be more peace
- in the world, and more progress He it
was who in the latter Eighteen Nineties incur
red much unpopularity amongst his country
men by warning them against quarrel with
the United States of America, and who now
writes with penetrating vigor against SPANS
becoming embroiled with France over the Mo-
roccan issues Unfortunately says he, 81
was right on the former occasian. Unfortu-
nately, am right today. Is it virtue to see
straight? Not at all. The simple fact is that
live in world of realities, while some others
live in world of fancies. Like Don Quixote
more courageous than the Cid they attack
windmills. l, who am more prosaic, more hui
man, contest to see the windmills, to per-
ceive that their wings will overturn horse and
horsemen, to anticipate catastrophe and ex-
press the hope that we will abstain from
such an adventure"
1t is no credit to the spirit of nationalism
that honest speaking oftimes provokes anger,
while that blind and staggering conceit
which DR.. Johnson had in mind when he de-
fined patriotism as "the last refuge of a
scoundrel," will kindle delirium of flag
waving and cheers. Love of a lass properly
. makes one foolish CHOW many actions
most ridiculous young signing Silvius asks,
"hast thou been drawn to by thy fantasy?'
To which, old Corin "Into thousand that
l have forgotten.'O But should not true
love of country make one wise? At least,
should it not lay greater store by the sub
stantial interests and duties Of nationhood
than by national vanities and greeds? The
kind of patriotism that inspired the Junkers
of Hohenzollern Germany to thrust out their
chest and raise their thick voices and go
stalking forth to subjugate the world, was,
after all, the Fatherlands worst foe; and to
every nation misled by such pride and
haughtiness will come at last the proverbial
destruction and fall.
More than ever in history does national
greatness now depend upon business of pur-
pose and breadth of vision, qualities beside
which braggart egotism is too dwarfish,
too silly, too mean for the mind of worth
while State or worthwhile people. Yet, is
not that very sort of egotism the keynote of
much that passes for patriotism? Have we
not been assured by corpulently solemn Sena-
tors, to say nothing of Ambassador Harvey,
that the more selfish, the more bumptious,
the more hucksterish America can be made,
the more powerful and prosperous she will
be? Well, that manner and method have
been tried over and over for some four thou
sand years, and never yet have they failed
to land in disgrace and ruin the nation en-
ploying them. If that be patriotism, it be-
hooves us to make the most of a national ca
reer that is likely to be short-lived and GER
tain to be inglorious.
True Amercanism, true patriotism is root
ed in no lesser soil than love for humankind
and the fruits thereof are not boastfulne ss
nor jingoism nor Indifference to the world
woe and veal, but servicefulness and peace
and the wisdom of sympathy.

ENDS
By DR.. Frank Crane

By DR.. Frank Crane
These men and women asked gifts of life.
And this is how life granted.
A young artist asked fame, not the senseles>
acclaim of the mob, but that real fame which
is the shadow cast across history by great
achievement.
He worked He struggled. He waded through
the swamp of neglect staggered across deserts
of contempt, fought his way through jungles
of criticism.
He arrived. He was famous. He was among
the great.
But fame when she came found him lone
ly, broken old man. She arrived in time to
speak eloquently at his funeral.
A young business man threw his whole soul
into his career. He did all the wiseacreS ad-
wise for those who want to succeed.
He succeeded.
But he was sixty. He had the rheumatism
He was bald. He had lost all his teeth but
three, just enough to anchor the gold plates
His wife had left him for a younger man. He
was On bad terms with his children.
The fifty million dollars he had asked OF
life she gave him on his Sixtieth birthday, but
her smile was crooked.
girl asked for love, for husband and chill
dren and full life. And life gave. But first
she broke the woman'S heart, and SoWed salt
upon her hopes.
A man and woman wanted each other, with
them, all. They brushed aside honor and al
laws At last they were locked in each Others
arms. Life gave them what they had asked.
But it was their bodies alone that met. Fo
at that moment their souls were far apart, az
far as the east is from the west The con
summation of their bliss was the hollow horro
of great tragedy. Then they knew that mucl
as they hated themselves they hated each othe
more.
So the wise ask of life no ending, but, i
may be, song as they walk along, and a cu]
of cheer at the waySide inn.
For they know the end is but an incident l
is no prize to win, no laurel to wear, no recon-
penSe. 1t is but one of life'S many days.
| For wisdom has seen Caesar stabbed in hi
| glory, Socrates poisoned to close his life, Lin
coin shot in the hour of his triumph, the ono
proud mother weeping at the galowS of he
! son, the wife with her heart full of ashes.
Wisdom has seen the ends, the achievements
proud and splendid, admired and desired of al
men, but the beauty of them has been as tn
| beauty of white tombS lit by the pale moon.
1t is today that is full of sunshine.

South Georgia Highways

w THAT 1sis s s ss' to sAsssn a a"s
Jacksonville and that soon will reach
to Jesup as well, the Brunswick Banner sees
special need of frst-class road to Waycross,
through Nahunta and Hoboken in the new
and thriving county of Brantley. 1.-THE north
and south route" says The Banner, ''is of
great importance from the standpoint of
transient tourist travel. The Jesup road is
important in that it links up the Atlantic
ocean highway from Macon and is the route
over which probably most of the island visit
ors will come but the Waycross road opens to
Brunswick a great trade territory and puts
us in direct touch, through the roads leading
out Of Waycross in every direction, with all
south Georgia, southwest Georgia and mid
die Georgia, which is the fastest growing
portion of the state and from which we have
been cut off since time began"
In looking alertly out for the highway in
terests Of it's community and district The
Banner is doing substantial service. No one
factor in commercial prosperity and produc-
tive development is more important than ade-
quate communication. Given good roads, any
region with natural resources will grow in
wealth and progress; but denied good roads,
the richest country will lag. Under the guild
ance of on efficient highway commission,
Georgia is moving vigorously forward in high
way extension and improvement, but the in
terest and cooperation of local forces are ever
essential

OUIPS AND OUIDDITIES

The aeroplane flew over an Irish asylum,
to the CONSERVATION of the inmates. Next
day two of the lunatics were discussing the
machine.
One said: do you know I dreamt last
night l made one of those contrivances and
flew to Australia in sixty minutes"
"Thats strange said the other. 81 had
a similar dream. l went to Melbourne in
sixty seconds
''How did you go?"
Fright through the earth"
Look here, my friend, you're not luna
tic-you're bithering IDIOT, that's what you
are"
Orville Wright was talking at a Dayton
dinner about the new Caproni biplane which
carries 100 passengers What will the sci
entists say now" he laughed. when my
brother and [ were trying to fly the scien-
lists proved time after time that flight was
impossible to man. Afterward when flying
was actually accomplished they proved that
airplanes would never be more than danger
Gus toys; big, stable ones couldn't be made;
they'd be too heavy to rise. Those scientists
were like the old lady who was taken to see
the first trolley car to start in the village.
She looked at the car and shifted: It'll never
go But the car did go. 1t went beauti-
fully. Then the old lady, staring after it,
shrieked: It'll never stop"
Little Willie had been told that he must
always walt patiently until he was served at
meals, and not to cry across the table or
grab for his food. One day while dining at
a neighbours with his mother the little fell
low was accidentally overlooked. He was
very patient for time, but at last he could
bear the strain no longer, seeing everybody
feeding but himself. So, leaning quietly
across to his mother, he said in loud whis-
per: Mother, do little boys who starve to
death go to heaven"
A certain town depended entirely on cleo
tricity for it's lighting, and large gen.
Grating station sufficed for the whole town,
an accident at the station suddenly plunged
the town into darkness one night.
The manager of the station was at his pri-
vate house at the time, but he at once set out
in his for the works. In his haste, how
ever, he forgot to switch the electric
lights on his car, which were, of course, gen.
| Grated off ury battery and the cars accumu-
lator.
On his way to the electric power station he
was stopped by policeman, who asked him
why he had no lights. The manager did
little quick thinking, then answered, half hui
morously:
"Of course my lights OUT Haven't they
failed all over the town?'
The policeman touched his hat and said:
BEG pardon, sir, 1 forgot! Go straight
ahead!'

Speaking Of Disarmament

CANADA has reduced her standing army
from four thousand men to thirty-si1
hundred. She has no navy, as navie<
reckoned, and along her thousands
Of miles of southern border she has no forti-
fcations. GA fearful predicament!" your
militarist would say.
Yet, far from worrying, the Canadians
take courage and go forward, thankful to be
free from the tax burdens which great arma-
ments impose. True, if they had less cous-
inly and cordial neighbors they might be
more minded to feed the dogs of war; but as
it is, they are feeding, instead, the forces of
peaceful prosperity.
The Unitei StSates never has been and is
not now a miitaristic nation. Singularly
enough, however, from every dollar of the
billions of taxes it's people pay, ninety cents
goes for war costs and preparations. Not a
penny that went to defeat world-menacing
Prussianism is begrudged. But the treasure
and heroism poured into that conflict will
turn barren, as far their great practical
purpose is concerned, unless the peace which
they were spent to win is won indeed and
held secure.
For the majority of those whose minds fol-
lowed the flag to France and who suffered in
spirit if they did not die in body for the
cause at stake, it was war to end war. A
thoughtless few may have imagined it a mere
adventure; a criminal few may have priced
it as a chance to prohteer; cynical few may
have looked upon i vast tide of blood and
sorrows as nothing NOR than what had been
and needs must ever be in humanity's fate.
But to those who watched and fought with
reason with heart that found it's SUI
preme warrant and meaning in the hope OF
world peace and justice.
Those ends are not yet secured, and will
not be as long as competitive armament
building continues. All that America fought
for bids her support reasonable efforts to
check that war-provoking practice. She can
not, as matters stand, disarm as Canada has;
but. sharing much Of Canada's natural Sc
curry and bein9 at the same time the most
powerful of nations today, she assuredly can
encourage the disarmament spirit in others
who seek her cooperation and stand ready
to follow her example.
