" OW did the world ever get us WORK
- done in the days when it took
Reniamin Franklin a fortnight to
travel from Boston to Philadelphia, journey
now comprised between breakfast and DIN
ner? With no steam railways, no electric
cars, no automobiles, no telephones and tele-
craps, not to dream Of airplanes and radio
wizardries, how did folk ever manage to live
on twenty-four hours a day?
But live they did, we'll and leisurely. They
had more time than have their descendants
of an age surrounded and besieged with
time-saving devices. The stagecoach ambled
easily along forest-shadowed roads; mine
host tarried to chat with every conner to the
inn; milady found the way over the hill to
hear news or CHEEKY gossip none too,long, and
dinner was served betimes; conversation was
still a vital art, and visiting an unwearled
grace; there were old books to read, old wine
to drink, old wood to burn, old friends to
talk with. Yet they were in no wise slug
gardly generation. Wise Ben himself de-
clared, Time is the stuff that life is made
of; and there was Zest enough amongst
them to write the Declaration of Independ-
ence and to make it good at Yorktown.
Far buster we, far more stressful, and me-
chanically more efficient But are we as
creative? Do we go further in going faster?
Our plant is vast improvement upon theirs.
But what Of the ratio of product to plant?
Our days, in point of speed, count for more
than their weeks or months; but what avails
it when all the haste serves but to leave US
less time and empty hearts?
There once lived a species of mighty crea-
lures, scientists say, that waxed larger and
larger and larger till at length they became
so monstrous that they could not move, and
perished from the earth out of sheer in
ability to stir around and forage for food.
May not some such ironical fate overtake our
own strenuous race if we continue getting
faster and faster and faster until at length
shall be going in such Whirl that we
shall starve simply because we cannot stop
to eat?
At least let us remember now, TOO fast
arrives as tardy as too slow"

The Industrial Rev;va7
I I this time year ago upwards of five

"a ILLS C1LAe d veal. ago upwards or five
~ and half million American workers
were out of employment; now the
number is little more than one-fifth as large,
which makes it about normal.
The fact is significant not only as regards
the welfare Of the men and families concern
ed, exceedingly important as that is, nor sim
ply as evidence of their restored buying
power and the consequent stimulus to trade,
but also as indication of vigorous revival of
industry. The country's sineWs of produc-
ton are again nightly astir
The output of ~teel ingots for the first
eight months OF the current year, according
to figures compiled by the Guaranty Trust
Company of New York, exceeded the total
output Of the corresponding period of 1921
by sixty-six per cent, while in the third week
OF September the steel industry was eperat-
ing at tWo-thirds OF it's capacity. Pig iron
production for August last, although smaller
tn IN In any month of the year since Febru-
airy, was nevertheless larger than in August
OF 1921 by more than ninety per cent Motor
vehicles to the number of one million, six
hundred ind siXty-four thousand were pro-
duced during the first eight months of the
year, and are expected to aggregate two mil
lion by the end Of December. Something of
what this means in the way of employment
OF labor and use of raw materials and finish
ed products appears in the estimate that Two
million two hundred and fifty thousand per-
sons are now on automotive payrols; while
IN the manufacture of motor vehicles and
their parts are consumed twenty-five per cent
of the aluminium output, twenty per cent of
the tin, sixteen per cent Of the copper, four
per cent of the annual iron and steel produc-
ton, and thirty per cent Of the plate glass.
The record Of all these industries is the
more remarkable in that the coal and rail
strikes handicapped operations. Now that
those obstacles are cleared away, subsequent
reports should be still richer in cheer. With
the country's industrial millions at work and
bountiful harvests pouring in, prosperity be-
comes no longer the~substanc of things hop
ed for, but the evidence Of things seen.

OUR DEBT TO THE PAST
BY Dr.. Frank Crane

The past shackles US, impedes us. angers
US with its stupid drag. Progressive
minds often rail at it.
Yet that is but one-half of the truth ond
tnere are two halves to every truth
we are children of the past Most of the
good things OF civilization have been hand
ed to- US by the past
me main reason child is sent to school
is to find out the discoveries and achieve
ments of the past that he may use them for
going on.
Progress is matter Of growth and in
growth there are two elements. One is
our connection with the parent stem of the
past, the other is the putting forth of our
future.
No programme Of reform or advance
ment is Of any value that does not have it's
roots in the past and is not in some wav a.
continuity Of forces that have been gen
Grated in the past.
Mr.. Graham Wallas strikingly expresses
this. eff the EARTH" he says, "were struck
by one Of Mr.. Wells comets, and if in
consequence, every human being now alive
were to lose all the knowledge and habits
which he had acquired from preceding gene
rat1ons (though retaining unchanged all his
own powers of invention and memory and
habitation), nine-tenths of the inhabitants
of London or New York would be dead in
month, and SO per cent of the remaining
tenth would be dead in six months. They
would have no language to express their
thoughts, and no thoughts but vague reve-
RE They could not read notices. or drive
motors or horses. They would wander
about, led by the inarticulate cries of a few
naturally. dominant individuals, drowning
themselves, as thirst came on, in hun
dreds at the riverside landing places, loot
ing those shops where the smell of decay
ing food attracted them, and perhaps at
the end stumbling on the expedient of can
nibalism. Even in the country districts
men could not invent, in time to preserve
their lives, methods of growing food, or
tanning animals, or making fire, or so cloth
ing themselves as to endure northern
WINTER
This striking illustration enables us to
realize the tremendous value of that &C
cumulated thing called civilization. The ex-
cellence Of man does not consist in the fact
that we have stronger bodies or keener
brains than the Athenians had two thou
we are as good animals or as good spirits
as they were.
All Of our advantage lies in the fact that
we have partially learned the secret of CO.
operation by which the advantages of one
generation can be handed on to and utilized
by the next.
There are many defects in our present
civilization, but to contemplate destroying
that civilization to get rid of the defects is
about as mad an idea as cutting off man s
head to cure a bad cold.
LET us hoard every worthy drop of the
past" says Owen Wister, that it shall be
a strong tonic for our future"

Mrs. FELTON,, Senator
. HE GOVERNORS appointment Of Mrs.
William H. FELTON,, of Gainesville, to

T HE Governors appointment Of Mrs
William H. FELTON,, of Gainesville, to
the unexpired term of the late Senator
Thomas e. Watson, pending the election of
his successor in November, come, as fitting
tribute to/a remarkable personality and gives
Georgia unique distinction.
AS the first woman member Of the United
States Senate, Mrs. FELTON, will round out a
career long rich in attainments and in honors.
Born Georgian in the year 1885, of parent
age in whom Southern tradition flowered at
it's fairest she has lived through the most
stirring history of the commonwealth and
the republic, and has played therein her own
memorable part The glory and the grief Of
the eighteen sixties were here to share, and
hers the fortitude and faith from which a
New South sprang. The reunion of sun
dered nation, the rise of a greater America
the quicAenlng and progress Of ideas that
told of new age, new world-these, too,
fell within the wide span of her experience
and found her with mind and heart to I'M
derstand.
Ever interested in civic affairs, Mrs Eel
ton has helped to blaze pioneer paths in
causes which, though now taken for granted,
were once fields of stressful controversy. Es-
pec1ally in the temperance crusade and in the
woman suffrage movement she stood on the
Southern frontier, fighting steadfastly for
convictions when followers We're few and dis
couragements unnumbered. With all these
activities and without neglect OF home duties,
which claimed her hearts deepest devotion,
she found time for extensive authorship; and
among the most fruitful labors of her pen
have been her contributions for more than
a quarter of century to The Tri-Weeklv
journal.
In her eighty-eighth year this distinguish
ed daughter of Georgia becomes United States
Senator-the first woman in American his
tory to bear that title. The Journal joins
with the commonwealth in bowling to her its
warm congratulations and good wishes.

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY IRWIN COBB

There formerly were two Coveleskie BROTH
ers playing in the biz leagues. One day Har-
ry Coveleskie was pitching a game for De-
troit against the Yankees at the Polo
Grounds in New York. AS Damon Runyon
sat in the press stand an attendant handed
him a note which had been sent by one OF
group of spectators in grandstand box.
The note ran as follows:
'To settle bet, please state which one OF
the Coveleskie boys this fellow is?"
Runyon turned the note over and made his
answer on the reverse side of it.
"This," he wrote, sis the other one!"

A farmland rented a field from his boss
with the stipulation that the rent was to be
one-fourth of the crop raised. At harvest
time the farmer was amazed to find that he
received .othing at all in exchange for the
field. The farmland hauled three loads of
produce to his own barn, so the farmer re-
monstrated. CLOVIS this? Wasn't 1 to get
a fourth of the crop?" he demanded in right

ant, "but as it turned out there was only
three-fourths."
