When Stranger Means Enemy

THE slowness with which wartime re-
strctions on travel in Europe unbend
| prompts correspondent who recalls
his Caesar more readily than most of us do
| to remark that classical Latin has the same
word for STRANGER and enemy" In our
own day. despite all the centuries since the
story of the good Samaritan sown, we
| still adhere largely to the Latin idea. What
and whom we do not know we are prone to
distrust which is but another way of saying
that ignorance is the mother of prejudice
Of some folk it undoubtedly is true that the
less we know Of them the more we like them,
but happily that is not the rule. Even nus
bands and wives improve upon acquaintance
as do also foreigners from the uttermost ends
of the earth. Human nature the world around
has more in common than 1t has apart
That men have progressed toward this view
in their tortuous journey up the ages grows
evident when we think of how much more
freely the common traveller moves, no" nuc9
more Hospitality he is received ana pfoVlueu
for new than. say, in the time OF HerodOtus,
who himself is really modern, the count
less generations behind him Delng conslo-
cred If Herodotus came to Atlanta To-Day
he would be met at the Terminal by cordial
delegation of college people, chamber or COM
merce directors and city OFFICIALS; ne Woulu

feeling that the Georgia city was not whit
less home-like than Halicarnassus or Athens.
But when Herodotus set out to travel the
world as it was some tWenty-three hundred
years ago he found but lenten enterta1nment
on the way. Inns there were, and cheef1ul
caravan parties, and in Egypt priestly and
princely hosts. But if ventured beyond the
highways the fare grew hard and the greet
ing suspicious, well-to-d and privileged per-
son though he was. Imagine, then, the dill
ficulties and distresses of the less lntluen-
tial traveller. Such folk, indeed, made no
distant Journeys except under the protection
of a powerful chief or wealthy merchant, or
as sailors or rare pilgrims. To be stranger
was to be an enemy.
The opinion has been ventured that II rail-
WAYS had come few decades earlier IN Amer
lea there would have been no War Between
the States Certain it is that freedom ana
frequency of communication tend to prevent
misunderstanding between peoples as pe-
tween persons. The World War befell IN
spite of telegraph, telephone, wireless and air
ship; but these nevertheless are instruments
with which earnest builders for peace ana
good will will find their task much faclll-
tated For in the heart of man there stlrs a
seed-life of friendship and sociableness Whlch
ouickens and Dungeons if given but half
chance. which has grown from family to
tribe and from tribe to nation, Whlcn
branches today more generously than In ages
gone. and which is destined at last to spread
around the earth those goodly leaves wherein
is t'the healing of the nations.

VKTHAT is woman to do who has in
w herted a nice little fortune? Shall
she turn it all over to her husband,
or keep it herself?
I say that she should keep it herself
If her husband is the right sort of man, he
will be glad to know that she is protected
against the hardships of poverty and want
no matter what befaIls him. and if he is the
wrong sort of man, she will need, her money
more than ever.
For that type of husband never treats
the wife who is financially independent as
meanly as he does the one who is dependent
upon him.
I believe that the married woman who
has money should keep her financial affairs
in her own hands, and separate from her
husbands, for many reasons. First, because
it makes the family doubly safe. All of the
eggs are not in one basket. If the husband
is a good business man, he will not need the
wife's little roll, and if he is a poor bust
ness man, the wifes income helps out, and
keeps the wolf from the door, and sends
the children to school.
Until within comparatively short time
ago, a woman's property automatically
passed to her husband on her wedding day.
Many women still put everything they have
unreservedly into the hands of the men they
marry. and merely sign on the dotted line
whatever paper the husband brings to them
Inc result IS that all OF us know dozens
of women, who were reared in the lap of
luxury and inherited fortunes, who have
been brought to direct poverty by their hus-
bands
Most of these men did not Intentionally
rob their wives. They were just bad man
ayers, reckless spectators, and they took
risks with the money they had not earned
that they would never have taken with
money for which they had toiled and sweat.
Come easy, go easy, is the eternal law of the
dollar You rarely see either men or women
wasting the pennies that represent their own
hours of toll and sacrifice. It's inherited
money, or married money, they throw at
the birds.
Some of the most lovable men in the
world, the kindest, the best, the tenderest,
the most ideal husbands in all the higher
matters, utterly incapable of taking care
of money. The very qualities that make
them so adorable, unfit them for practical
matters. Their softness of heart that can
never say mo-" their CHEEKY optimism that
proposition; their hope that is confident
visions and their dreams, all make them the
predestined prey of every sharper, and
schemer, and vendor of gold bricks that
comes along.
Such man is always the verge of
making billions, and he has no hesitation
in taking his wife's last cent to invest in
some mine in Peru, or invention for maxim 6
gold out of sea sand; and he is surprised
and broken-hearted when the scheme goes
to pot and everything is swept away. But

- HE expected appointment OF MT. LAZY
as successor to the late Chief JUS
IL tice White is regarded generally with
satisfaction that is nowhere more cofdldl
than in the South. The excellent judgment
the former President showed in filling the
Sunreme Court vacancies which occurred
during his administration is an index 10 MS
own judicial capacity. He it was who cho3e
Justice Lamar, of Georgia, and VINO maze
Justice White, veteran OF the Ola ooucn'
chief Justice, Notwithstanding that Mr.
Hughes himself was then member or the
court, Against precedent and against poll
tics Mr. Taft made these notable appoint
ments because he gave prime consideration
to the judiciary itself and the vastly lmpor-
tant national interests it Involved
This attitude, together with his ripe eE-
perience and dstin guished attalnments IN
the law, marked him for preference IN the
thought of thousands when the present va
cancy lamentaby befell. Adverse opinion mas
not been wanting. "The present Admlnls sI d.
tion,'' writes one observer, loves Mr.. Tart
absolutely nothing. He does not belong to
the school of political thought typed by Mr.
Harding and his intimates; he was Snt1re-
ly at variance with the sentiment which
nominated Harding at Chicago. Besides, he
is distinctly persona non grata to influen-
tial Republican leaders in the Senate, whom
he antagonized throughout the treaty light
though he bowed when called upon TO make
choice in the Presidential campaign" All
this would be pertinent enough II Supreme
Court appointments were matter for par
tisan and personal politics rather than for
thoughts toward the Republics highest
good. But the most vehement partisanship
should be sobered in the face of so grave
responsibility as that of selecting chief
justice.
The likelihood, if not the certainly of the
situation, it may be assumed, is voiced by
David Lawrence when he writes from Wash
tngton: president Harding will name for
T. Sc IN.

cussed the matter with him"

~ EASONABLR and. sound is the ad
vice of the Manufacturers Record
when it commends to the business

Will the manufacturer, the banker and the
merchant be less enterprising?"
The most brilliant and substantial achieve
ments in American industry have been by
men who saw the oak in the acorn, and be-
yond the dscouragements of day or 3

ripening ahead The business institutions
which thrived most in the strenuous war
time were a rule those that had taken
advantage of the quiet period preceding TO
enlarge their producing capacity and to i'm
prove their facilities for service. The notable
successes of the future are being prepared
now. The manufacturers, the merchants, the
investors who will reap most freely the har-
vests of busy months and years to come
are not inert and timorousy unenterprising
today. Instead. they are going forward with
vigor and confidence, which are themselves
creative of prosperity.
