S.. 500 Reward For
Train Wreckers
Dynamiting Of Georgia Train
Arouses People of State

Atlanta, Sept. Stewards to-
taling $500 were offered today
for apprehension with proof to
convict the persons responsible for
dynamiting an Atlanta, Blrmlng-
ham & Atlantic railroad freight
train near here last night, killing
John Morris of Fitzgerald, engl-
neer, and injuring three other
trainmen.
Col. 3. L. Bugg, receiver for the
road, in offering $4,000 reward,
said several clues were being fol-
lowed and predicted early arrests,
and Governor Hardwick, in an
nouncing a $500 reward, declared
he was prepared to use the power
and authority of the state to its
last ounce to prevent outrages OF
this kind and to punish to the linn
it of tbs law the perpetrators OF
such outrages when apprehended.' y
He declared the people of Georgia
would not countenance such acts
and called on all county ;and 1nu-
nicipal authorities to enforce law
and order and promised them mill
tary support if necessary.
Colonel Bugg, in a conference
with the governor, presented him
with d list of 33 such wrecks or at
tempted wrecks since the begin
ming of the strike of the A. B. & A.

Strike leaders here vigorously
disclaimed any knowledge Of the
outrage and J. M. Larrisy, an Of
fcer of the Order Of Railway Con-
ductors, declared the union chiefs
had sought to conduct an orderly
strike. The walkout of the men
over a wage reduction which caus-
ed stoppage of the. roads trains
for a time was followed by a re-

being replaced by non-union men.

How Little Minds Grow

There are few things that try the
patience of the tired mother as does
the endless succession of questions
that her little ones are ceaselessly
asking. Indeed, many mothers
lose their patience at times and
seek to discourage and repress their
children's curiosity and the result
ing tendency to ask so many SEEM
ingly useless questions.
This is one of the saddest mis-
takes that parents or any other
grown-ups can ma e in dealing
with the little ones. Their ques-
tions really have a momentous
meaning. They mean that the
Oh ldren are thinking; and think
ing is the activity by which the
mind grows, just as the body grows
by physical activity.
If we forbid child to have any
physical activity, we shall stunt
and deform its body; and if we
prevent it from thinking, we shall
in like manner, and as surely, stunt
and deform its mind.
We should remember that thot
is based upon facts and facts alone
In other words, the mind can not
think without them. Indeed
thinking is merely the minds at.
tempt to discern or discover the re.
lations between the various facts
that have come before it.
When the children ask questions
they are simply calling for the fact.

A Doubt to Dispel

There is another question which
the men folks are regarding rather
seriously at present in connection
with jury service for women.
They believe that women are too
emotional and soft-hearted to mete
out true justice to their fellow
beings. They think that cunning
lawyers would be able, by playing
upon their feelings and emotions,
to blind them to the truth, arouse
sympathy for their guilty clients,
and so defeat the ends Of justice.
We have all become familiar
with the foolish women who have
made heroes of murdcrers, at
tempted to reform hardened crimi-
mails by line Of Sunday School
talk, and straightway demanded
that they be turned loose, perhaps
to continue their depredations upon
society; but we did not understand
that their silly actions were being
set down against all women every
where as now appears to be the
case.
The truth is, however, that wo-
men seem to be getting out from
under this charge rather hand
somely. Nowhere have women on
Jury service shown the least dispo-
sition to allow their emotions to
overrule their judgment. In an
Ohio court some time ago, a jury
composed partly of women, with
out the least disagreement or de-
lay, brought in verdict Of guilty
against man accused of murder
and the Judge, who was a woman,
with hardly any more delay, SEN

that they need in their thinking;
and when they have received them,
the thinking process straightway
begins
There are two things that a child
cannot stop. One is physical ac-
tivity, the other mental activity,
or thinking. Both make for
growth, one of the body, the other
Of the mind. Who that would do
good to the children would sup
press either? Instead, our part is
to be patient with them, encourag-
ing and guiding them in their
thinking no less than in their ply
steal activity. If it is hard, it is
still no more than we owe to the
little ones whose lives and charac-
tiers are taking form like wax with
in our hands

tn y knew that the penalty would
probably be death. There have
been other similar cases; and it is
beginning to appear that women
are no more emotional or sympath-
etc than men when the actual
facts are placed before them.
The truth probably is that the
only reason why women have
shown themselves so sentimental
in the past was that they did not
know and could not find out the
actual facts about the crimes COM
mitted by the men who were bid

How 1t May Be Performed

1t is evident that the allies are
not just clear as to how to go
about it to compel Germany to
live up to her promises. However,
it seems that the move which they
have made should eventually ac-
complish one OF two ends. 1t
should either compel Germany to
comply with their demands, or it
should SO weaken her economically
that she will not be able much
longer to threaten the peace and
security OF other nations.
Germany had four immensely
productive industrial regions be-
fore the war. Two OF these, the
Briey iron district and the Alsace
potash region, she lost by the
terms of the armistice. The third,
the Ruhr coal and industrial re-
gion, has now been taken from
her, to be held by the allies until
she changes her ways. This dis
trict is perhaps the richest anc
most valuable OF all. In it are To-
Gated the Krupp works, as well a:
very many others Of her great in.

A Difficult Task

We have been hearing so much
about the German indemnity lately
that we are beginning to get a
little tired of it just at the time
when we should be watching it
most closely.
We must not overlook the fact
that the recent refusal Of Germany
to comply with the demands of the
allies, or to assume any other rea-
sonable indemnity obligation, has
virtually undone everything that
has been accomplished since the
armistice.
The peace treaty is broken. Ger
many, who suffered no devastation
by the war, now seeks to escape
practically all penalties for the ruin
which she inflicted upon Belgium
and France. Thus she would e.
merge from the great cataclysm
nearly unscathed while her enc
mics would be PROSTATE and all
but bankrupt.
1t is not her first evasion or vio-
lation Of the peace treaty. She
sank the ships she had agreed to
turn over to the allies, failed to de-
liver railway material as promised,
destroyed aeroplanes that she had
pledged herself to surrender, re-
fused to deliver coal according to
her contract, and failed to give up
her artillery, machine guns and
other war material as promised in
the treaty. In many other mat
tiers, too, she has played fast and
loose with the allies, who have
been compelled to make more anc
more concessions because of her in.
creasing delinquency. But the viz
tual reputation Of the indemnity
is the greatest of all the violation:
of her pledged honor.
Little as we like to do so at this
time when we are trying to bring
the spirit OF goodwill back into
the world, we seem to be forced tt
the conclusion that as a nation
, Germany is not to be trusted, bu
!, that her agreements are still mere
i, scraps Of paper. 1t is hard enough
, to deal with single individual O
this kind; but when the offender i
an entire nation, the task Seems
, next to impossible

Finding Our Place

1t is becoming more apparent
from month to month of late that
the place of woman in human So
ciety is actually being changed
greatly as result of the move
ment for equal suffrage that has
swept over practically all civilized
nations in recent years.
Everywhere new privileges are
being extended to her; and every
where lively discussions are being
carried on as to what limitations
should be placed upon these privi-
leges. III England and America,
the question which is receiving
more attention than any other just
now relates to jury duty.
In these two countries and some
others, the matter Of deciding as to
what are the actual facts estab-
lished by the evidence submitted
in court trials is left to a jury,
which in the, past has been COM
posed exclusively OF men. With
the extension of citizenship pr!vi-
leges to women went this liability
to jury duty; and everywhere in
these two countries of late we have
been seeing mixed jurles trying
nearly all kinds Of cases.
In both countries there is grow
ing up the notion that women are
out of place on mixed juries where
the evidence is of an obscene OF
indecent nature. In England, not
long ago, a judge refused to allow
women jurors to see certain photos
submitted in divorce case though
the men were asked to examine
them; and last month Philadel
phia Judge excused sixteen womel
from service on grand and petit
juries with these words: 'It is m,
advice that you do not listen t.
the filth that would be brought be

Cleaning A Mattress Indoors

1t is not necessary to drag a
mattress outdoors to clean it.
Wiring soft old sheet or table,
cloth quite dry out OF clean water,
spread it over the mattress and
beat it with carpet beater. No
dust will fly about the room but
the sheet will become almost black.
Rinse out cloth and repeat process
until mattress is clean. This
method is excellent for cleaning a
rug on the floor, provided it is not
too dirty.
