Threatening the Rights Of the
Southern Ports.

EORGTA and her neighbor common
4 vea1ths are materially concerned in
~ n1ans now maturing to withstand the
recently revealed designs of certain eastern
TRANSFORMATION interests to destroy, IL posi-
Bile, that system Of freight rates under winch
the ports of the south, as we'll as those OIL
the North Atlantic, are given fair opportunl-
tics in the nations export trade. Delegates
of the South Atlantic States association anu
of the Mississippi Valley association Will
meet at Washington, d. c., on Wednesday
and Thursday of the current week 10 TAKE
action on this issue in connection with a
program for upbuilding the merchant marine.
At the same time, and largely for the same
purpose representatives Of m1ddle-West IN
dustry and commerce will be in conference
All these, it is expected, will make common
cause in the face of common danger, anu
vigorously resist the efforts to re-establlsh
the unjust and unreasonable export 1relght
tariffs which formerly obtained.
Those tariffs were such as to force into
the over-croWded terminals OF the north
east tonnage which naturally would move
bv way of such outlets as Savannah, Charles
ton, Wilmington. Brunswick, Jacksonville
and New Orleans. Shippers in the great
central manufacturing territory of which
points like Toledo, o., and indianapolis, Ind,
are pivots might wish to route goods to
Latin America through Gulf or South Az
lantic ports, those being the shorter ways.
But under, the OLD system, WHICH IuS SdoIOA IL
lines now propose to restore, this could not
be done because rates were fixed arbitrarily
with view to compelling those shippers to
take lines leading to the northeast. mus
southern railways and southern ports were
excluded from business which rightfully be-
longed to them. Thus, too, manufacturers
and exporters in the central west were ex-
cluded in numerous cases, from the most
economical and expeditions shipping routes.
At the same time terminals and ports in
the North Atlantic region were ofttimes so
contested as to make efficient service i'm
possible During the war period this state
OF affairs grew so menacing to national in
terests that the government was constrained
to intervene and divert to other routes some
of the enormous excess of tonnage which an
arbitrary rate system forced along certain
lines.
Under the federal administration of rail-
roads, these wrongs were rectifed, not alto
gether but to an important extent. IN an
nouncing the new policy the director of
railroad traffic declared: eve have de-
termined to treat the ports of the country
as a whole instead of as sectional affairs.
We want to equalize port rates and charges,
as far as we can, so that the great producing
sections of the country can get to the sea-
ports at the lowest possible cost"
It is upon this wise and just principle that
the interests concerned in the rights of south
ern ports have taken their stand. They ask
no Indulgence, no favors, no mite of special
privilege. They ask only fair deal. And
the common country's welfare, no less than
their own demand that they have it.

A CURE FOR BREADS
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

~ ECENTLY I have read book which I
| * wish could be in the hands of all
a. nervous patients, particularly those
tormented by unreasoning breads of any
kind. 1t is the latest book by that admirable
New York medical writer DR.. James J. Walsh
and is called Religion and Health
Speaking with conviction born Of long
experience, DR.. Walsh eXtols religion as one
Of the best of all cures for the morbid fears
so common among the nervous. People who
truly get religion" he rightly empha-
sizes, are by the very fact of their strong
religious faith given peace of mind that
banishes all unreasonable doubts and anx-
ieties:
eff a man, or a woman is convinced that
there is a Providence that oversees human
life as well the universe, in Whom we
live and move and have our being and of
Whose infinite knowledge and power we can
have no doubt, the unreasonableness of
breads comes home to him"
And, recalling the fact that many other
veteran physicians see in religious faith a
wonderful remedy for dreads DR.. Walsh
quotes Sir Dyce Duckworth, the distinguished
English physician, writing to anxiety
beset friend:
"In my experience the only solution of all
our difficulties is to maintain a humble,
childlike faith and a confident trust in the
perfect love Of God. With that there need
be no fear, and ali will come right in His
own time.
"That is the faith to live by and die with,
and the happiest people are those who hold
firm by that faith That is my experience
after much thought, much knowledge of hui
man nature and not little study of all the
difficulties you relate to me-"
Moreover, besides pacifying the mind, re-
ligion has the effect of melting to altruistic
that is, rgetting-activities The
truly religious do not hold self foremost in
their thoughts They are jealous in good
works for others, in sacrificing themselves,
| if need be, to render useful, helpful service.
| And self-forgetfulness as every medical
man well knows, is essential in the cure
! of breads. If those who dread were not so
much concerned about themselves they would
obviously be less anxious regarding the I'M
toward happenings they fear may befall
them.
"Get your mind off yourself" all enlight-
ened physicians today urge the phobiacs who
come to them for advice and treatment. DR..
Walsh would add:
And turn to religion potent aid in
getting your mind off yourself. Pray, go to
church, mediate on spiritual truths, associate
with religious-minded people. In proportion
| as religious faith takes possession of you,
breads will take flight"
| But his teachings should be studied in their
entirety to be fully helpful. Get his book and
read 1t with receptive mind, you who have
| to confess yourself among the abnormally
worried and anxious.

"AND THE LITTLE TIN SOLDIER
IS COVERED WITH DUST"
By DR.. Frank Crane

After all, destiny gets things done her own
slow way and strange
All our Vaccinations, policies, organizations,
creedS, gospels, and parliaments are bubbles on
the stream.
If, as the clearer thinkers have insisted war
is an anachroniSm, the holdover of a past
thought and custom upon the modern world
an exhalation of rotted mediaevalism, or the
dying spasm of the decapitated rooster of
monarchism, then mankind will grow out of it
1t Will pass, not because we fight it, but be-
cause it has ceased to amuSe us.
Couture" said a philosopher, "is the rising
process of a series of disgusts"
We do not quit bad habits because they are
wicked, but because we lose interest
We opponents of war have perhaps been
lured by the too easy task of diSproving its
logic.
1t does little good to show what asses ma
tons are to go on building warships and sup
porting armies in competition, when they could
accomplish the same end and play the same
game of rivalries much cheaper if they would
all agree to strip down to one battleShip and
one regiment, because they all know it.
1t is of no use to demoish the reasons for
n1llltarism, because there isn't any reason.
1t is of no avail to waste wind appealing to
the intelligence of the race-hate mongerS trou-
bic makers, and Chauvinists because they have
no intelligence; they don't need any in their
business; all they work with is PREJUDICE ego
tism, and the gang spirit.
But destiny is busy in wiser way.
That the soul of the world is passing out of
the war-lust stage, as individuals grow out OF
puppy love and marble playing, is indicated by
curious incident in the news items the other
day. 1t is small straw, but it shows the way
the wind blows.
For it shows that children are getting tired
of playing war.
And when children no longer love to play
with tin soldiers, the next generation will cease
to indulge in the luxury of real soldiers.
"The little tin soldier is covered with dust
said the poet, and it seemed wilder prophecy
than "the Parliament of Man, the Federation
of the World"
YET according to the dispatches, the toy SOL
der was not much in evidence in the London
shops in their Christmas week decorations
The war, it is stated, in addition to building
up the British toy factories, has developed a
demand for new type of toy-the structural
steel and block game by which the child's own
inventive ability is brought into play.
The iron fire-engine, the rag doll, and the
monkey-on-the- have given way to toy
games requiring thought and skill.
An English writer tells of class of sixty
boys in an elementary school who were asked
what toy they desired for Christmas. Thirty
two declared for structural games, eighteen for
fretwork, three for magic lanterns, five for
stripe work outfits, and the others for miScel-
laneOuS articles.
That little boys are turning away from pop
guns and lead soldiers, and toward building
blocks and structural iron toys, is not without
significance to the thoughtful.

Let Georgia Light Shine


T% HE announcement, made at the recent
Macon meeting in the interest of the
Advertise Georgia" campaign, that
approximately one hundred thousand dollars
has ben subscribed for the first years pro-
pram of that fertile project, is highly sig
nificant and heartening. The sum itself is
modest ineed beside the magnitde and i'm
portance of the work to be done. million
dollars might we'll be thus invested: and ere
long, it is to be hoped, the present subscrip-
tions will be multiplied at least five or ten
fold. But the beginning which has been
| made leaves no doubt that Georgians are
Weakening to the need and value of letting the
light of their resourceful commonwealth
shine, instead of remaining half hidden to
the nation and the world
Gathered at the Macon conference were
representatives of some fifty commercial Or
CARNATIONS, leaders in industry and in agri-
culture, prime movers in educational and
civic affairs, men and women whose hearts
are devoted to the building up of the COM
mon good. Out of that council came, not
simply the news Of the one hundred thousand
dollar fund, but a workmanly enthusiasm
that is certain to kindle host of others to
interest and action. The thought of greater
Georgia, after long lying as dream or
wish in individual minds, is now organizing
itself, is drawing together for concerted and
definite action hundreds, who formerly
planned and worked apart, S undertaking a
practical program which good citizens all can
support.
Effective advertising consists not only in
publicity but also, and chiefly, in deeds.
Reputation, whether in the case of men or of
businesses or of states, counts only to the
extent it is lived up to- The lasting force
and charm of the story that Georgia has to
tell will depend upon what she is doing while
she tells it. Her wondrous resources Of soil
and forest and mine, her rich opportunities
in industry and in commerce both domestic
and foreign, her wealth and diversity of
natural inducements to the home-seeker and
investor all must be reinforced by enl1ght-
ened and constructive policies carried out in
the daily life of her people. Quite properly
Therefore, a large part Of the Advertise
Georgia. work will have to do with enter
prise and development at home. The i'm
provement of farm methods, the extension
of good roads, the providing of adequate mar
kets the upbuildng of the common schools,
the announcement of production both indus
trial and agricultural, the support Of all that
makes for prosperity and progress-these
will be among the prime and constant rur-
poses of the undertaking. Is not such a
movement worth while? Does it not merit,
and will it not receive, every loyal Georgian's
cooperation?

OUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

Two Chinese sought to settle a difference
about a missing dog before an American
judge in a far western township Neither
could speak a word Of English, so the inn
patient judge asked the interpreter to find

something like this: "Yung XIII a hccnKux

At this juncture the judge interrupted
brusquely and demanded of the interpreter
again what kind of dog the trouble all
about. The interpreter replied:
"a black dog, your honor"
''Thank you" said the judge, awarding
damages to whichever of the Cispstants UNI
