Harding's Entry Into Marion.

From a report of the presidents address at
Marion: "At the risk of being undgnihed,
said Mr. Harding, laying down his notes, Il
will relate an experience. My father had
moved to Marion from a farm near Caledonia
in the winter before | came here. When he
moved to Marion he left mule behind be-
cause the mule was so we'll known in that
vicinity that he could not be sold at profit
and yet so valuable that he could not sacri-
fee it. So when | came to Marion the first
OF July | was permitted to ride the mule as
it was the easiest way to bring me here,
Il started early in the afternoon, but this
mule had only one gait You couldn't put
him in second, or third and you couldn't step
on the gas or anything. The evening shades
were falling when | reached the vicinity of
Roberts farm, three or four miles east of
Marion. The situation was looking dark to
me and | stopped to ask an old fellow who
was smoking his pipe how far it was to Ma
rion Without cracking a smile he replied:
"'Well, if you are going to ride that mule
it is a farther distance than you will ever get.
"As | neared the town the evening bells
were ringing for the midweek prayer | do
not know that | have ever heard concert of
bells that sounded so sweet. Ii I could some
how go back to that day | would say that we
must never look backward; if | could go
back | would make a little more permanent
and little more influential the tendency to
religious worship, which is the softening in
tluence in American life"

WALL OF THE CHILDREN,

Omaha World Record "The waing of the
children is in my ears" That's the Sabbath
explanation given by Judge Joseph M. Sa-
bath, of Chicago, widely known arbiter Of
family troubles, when he asked for tenn
porary transfer from the divorce court. In
two years he has handled $500 divorce cases.
He has managed to effect reconciliation IN
$50 cases and has helped complete the wreck
of nearly 5000 families. The judge is a hap
PLY married man and the father of children.
He believes in matrimony. So this WreCkng
of families got on his nerves. 1t would get on
most any mans nerves. 1t is the ghosts of
the little army of children that gave him
sleepless nights and caused him finally to ask
to be relieved of the work He says at is
the children upon whom the greatest tragedy
of divorce falls. They suffer not only from
the decree which makes a divided home, but
also from the notoriety Their playmates at
school point fingers of scorn at them. They
are stunned, whispered about and made self
conscious and unhappy without any reallza-
ton of the cause. But it is trying to decide
the heart-breaking question OF the custody of
the children which has-if you will pardon
me--'got my goat The growing number
of divorces has come to be looked upon as
very serious and very perpleXlng social prob
lem. Students of the problems of society have
given it a great deal of study, the chief re-
suit of which are numerous compilations of
statistics and the general conclusion that di
vorces are so many because human nature is
what it is. Perhaps there is no solution to
the problem. Divorce laws seem to be neces-
sary, even though they are sometimes shame
fully absurd. Still there is the waing of
the children. Apparently there will continue
to be until selhshness and intolerance are
banished from the world.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Los Angeles Times: Once more the court
holds that it is possible to make husband
responsible for the debts of the wife before
her marriage He may be required to pay
for the bait with which he was lured or the
trap in which he was caught He can be sued
for the price of the gown his sweetheart
wore when first he met her-that is, if he
finally marries her. Probably this is good
law, else the court would not so hold, but it
may tend to make some men more particular
about their anchorage. They may ask the
lady to file a statement OF all her debts and
obligations before proceeding to the altar.
Otherwise they might be hung up for part
of the cost of some previous courtship. If
man must pay the debts of the woman be-
fore her marriage and the expenses OF the
whole family afterward it is no wonder that
liberty bonds look to him like good invest
ment.

TOO MANY ELECTIONS.

The passage by the house Of the bill pro-
viding for biennial sessions Of the general as

NOUS endorsement by the people, and the
senate should and no doubt will complete

Of the very best things that can be done for
the state.
In this connection The News would eX-
press the opinion that the term of the gov
ernor and other state officials is too short.
There are too many elections The consti-
tuition of Georgia should be amended so as to
make the governors term four years, and
make him ineligible to succeed himself. Such
Is the constitutional provision in Alabama,
Mississippi, Missouri, Virginia and other
states The echoes Of one election have

Tic gets no rest There is constantly more or
less political turmoil If every official knew
that his term of Office would end at a certain
time and that neither custom or usage could
extend If. because the law forbade him to
succeed himself he would not be under the
necessity Of perpetually electoneering and
cultivating the favor of the voters and would
be left with mind free to devote himself

Tongue Murder.
From the Savannah News.

It's easy to believe that somebody may
have circulated unkind reports about the
apostolic writer, St. James, at some time or
ether; that some old gossip, woman or man
for the women are not the only gossip-mon-
gers and scandal-handlers, by any means
told tales on the preacher, whispered the
banded rumors with the they say preface
In the gentleness which characterized his
writing he spoke of the tongue and the damn
ing damage it can do-and while the language
of his eXcoriation runs smoothly enough it
is terrific his arraignment, his indictment of
the ''unruly member" He spoke OF this little
member, so useful to man in his progress,
such valuable servant when controlled and
guided, as capable of the most heinous crimes
full Of the poison OF asps, as a force set on
fire of hell.
A press dispatch from a Georgia town re-
Gently tells a pathetic story of what one
young woman learned along the line of St.
James description of the tongue. In a note
she lett, the young woman who took her own
life declared that she could not live longer
because OF false reports which had been cir
culated about her Whether or not she had
in her own case justification of her accusation
against the whispers of scandal the story
points its own moral. 1t is an old preach
ment-this thing of warning against telling
tales, repeating rumors, iberating the subtle
insinuaton which may have its weight against
the reputation OF another-partcularl wo-
man. 1t is so easy to leave the unkind thing
unsaid; it is impossible to recall the report
after it is launched 1t is so much better not
to say than to hope to unsay thing that
might do harm. 1t is better to be silent even
if a thing is absolutely true-if it will hurt
than to tell it. And the principle applies to ali
sorts of things which may be said or left I'M
said sometimes perfectly legitimate remark
might have its far-reaching effect on a life
in crisis The things about which we should
exercise the most wisdom and care and con-
science are the things we handle most care
lessly-our words. This is good to remem-
Der: For every one thing which you repent
afterward for having failed to say there are
a thousand things you can say and afterward
regret It's a safe rule to repeat this to your
self every time you hear the clock strike: Il
will never be sorry for what l do not say"

The Great Outdoors.
From the Dalton Citizen.


The Dawson News says The sun shines
Tor little children as well as for adults" but
though the sun shines and fresha air is abund-
ant some parents seem to prefer pouring
medicine down their children to letting them
take normal exercise in the open. Sunshine
and fresh air, in conjunction with wholesome
feeding, increase a Child's vitality. and give
him fair chance Tor mental and physical de-
velopment. To deprive him OF these reoui-
sites is giving him handicap that he NAV
never entirely overcome, but it is not lack of
devotion on the part Of the parents as much
as lack OF knowledge, for, as the Cordele
Dispatch says, the parents are loving them
to death when they curtail for BOYS and
girls wholesome outdoor activities
Everyone needs exercise. and it is when
it is not taken that many ills begin. Children
need the outdoors, they love to feel the earth
under their feet and to see the sky overhead.
Every year last growing cities see the abso-
lutte necessity for more parks
Much OF the aneura and anaemia which
mankind endures could be traced to the lack
OF proper exercise and wholesome food dur
ing early years OF life

When law is passed that is disfiked by
the people it is usually violated and little at
tenton is paid to it. This naturally tends
to lessen respect for all laws What the pub
lie should do is to see that every law which
is passed is rigdy enforced; then, if it is a
poor law, there is no doubt about the legisla-
ture repeating it.
