mDGES WHO UNBEND.

After Solomon have come many JUDGES
who have applied their understanding OF judi
cial wisdom and authority in the way that
appealed to them personally and individually
Solomon was the first, perhaps, to supplement
his vision with a DEPRESSION that might have
provoked criticism but for the fact OF the ser
vice it provided. The true mother OF the chiid
was found when the great judge offered 10
divide it by cleaving and to give hall to each
woman. He never intended doing anything
OF the kind, but the parties to the suit did
not know that
Judges of today are responsible Tor many
changes that have come about. Bench dighlty'
threatened and mperiled, is only saved by the
realization that the ends justify the means
Modern Judges frequently unbend in human
sort of way, which makes it possible Tor them
to more nearly approach the situations before
them. The old order was rigid maintenance OF
an austerity beneath the robes of justice that
nothing could pierce, but today a Judge can
be human being the same as any one else.
s'Wbat YOU need is daddy to spank you
both. I'm going to be your DADDY Get Hito
my chambers
Following that speech Judge SABBATH, of the
superior court at Chicago, entered his cham
bers on the heels of man and woman who
had been married and divorced but who could
not live in peace and accept the new condi-
tons. 1t is said that the judge took off his
coat and rolled up his sleeves. Whether he
administered spanking was not divulged'
but when the couple emerged from his cham
bers they had made up and promised to be-
have themselves. 1t might be considered by
some that sthe judge for the moment was
without dignity, that he exceeded his au-
thority and was frivolous-but he got the
result he desired, one that he might never
have obtained in any other way.
An Indiana judge told two men, an attorney
and witness, to "step out in the hall and
fight it out" They had been quarrelng in
the court room Judge Roberts did not want
the court turned into an arena. The bellig-
erents settled their quarrel and returned, and
the court proceeded. court, of course, is
not supposed to encourage violence OF any
kind but in this case probably the best thing
was done, and a long drawn out battle OF
words disgusting to the judge and everybody
else was cut short 1t is more and more
convincing that Judge needs something be-
sides legal acumen, and that is knowledge
of human nature.

The Old Blue Back Speller.
From the Lincolnton (Ga.) Journal.

1t is an acknowledged fact that when the
old blue-back spelling book OF Noah Web
ster a volume that had sale second. only
to the Bible, was text book in every Amer
lean primary school the pupils were much
more accomplished spoilers than are the
pupils under the new fad OF intensive edu-
cation" In those days only the essentials
were taught in the primary schools and they
were taught thoroughly. That was before the
time of the book trust and the practice OF
changing the books with such frequency. In
those days the faddists had not attacked the
primary schools, and, with the assistance Of
the politicians loaded them down with a
mass of perfectly or relatively useless stuff.
The Journal is a thorough believer in COM
mon school education, but it agrees with The
Dawson News that many of the methods and
customs of the old-time school could be re
instated to the advantage of all concerned,
especially the children. There are many things
concerned with present-day education that are
not helpful, but are positively detrimental to
the child. They get the wrong idea of life
and its RESPONSIBILITIES"

Eulogizing the Dead.

Editor Dawson News: Resolutions OF re-
spect to those who pass to the great beyond
should state the truth-not necessarily all the
truth but only the truth that will benefit the
generations under maturity and to come, who
look farther than adults seem to think. 1t is
better that those resolutions be drawn by
men of no influence than of wide influence.
A nonenity can utter things that a response
Bile man can't afford; in the mouth OF the OBJ
scure they mean nothing and have but little
influence, but over the signatures OF educa-
tors and those of like responsibility they car
nv, if untrue, poison to the mind of every
growing and potential man or woman. | am

To come with lamentations loud
When life is fed:
Nor would | have my words or ways
Rehearsed, perhaps with tardy praise,
When l am gone.

To see my face when still it lies
In silence dread.
Nor do | want them, if they would,
To tell my deeds were i'll or good,
When I am gone

Who stood through good and evil, too
Through friendships test;
Just they who sought to find the good
And they, as only good friends could.
Forgive the rest.
They who with sympathetic heart
Sought hope and comfort to impart
When there was life;
Not keeping all the tears and signs
Till weary worn the body lies,
And ends the strife
I'd have them come the friendly few
And drop perhaps a tear or two,
By kindness led;
Not many tears I'd have them shed,
Nor do | want much sung or said,
When | am gone.
To have them each come in alone
And call me in the sweet old tone
Would suit me best;
And then without a sob or moan
Go softly out and leave alone

AN EXPERT SPEAKS.

From the cambridge Post-Searchlight
The editor of The Dawson News doesn't
know what royal flush is, as per a re
mark in his last weeks paper Brother, if
you ever run afoul of one you will soon find
out what one is, how much authority it car
ries, and you will possibly have to pay like
the mischief to see it, and after you see it
you will wish that you had not unless you
had it yourself A royal flush is like an UNI
pire at ball game; it settles all things and
everybody's hash except the guy that holds
it No we are sure this brother don't know
what one is, at all One of 'em will knock

THE ARRIVAL OF MAY.

April now takes her departure after a lew
hrief weeks of alternate storm and sunshine,
of cold and singing winds like those OF
March. and of warm, mellow days with now
and then gentle April shower to wash the
face of nature clean and to stimulate lite I'M
pulses throbbing in her bosom. The tide OF
rest1rgent life now flows full and strong. Ma
ture has put on her summer garb OF green
The carpet Of the grass has been laid, wild
plant life has pushed its tender shoots lar
above the SOIL the shrubs and trees are ar
rayed in robes of green, and the annual mira
Gle of TRANSPORTATION has been accomplished.
Birds fit here and there, some in dlligent
search of food, others bursting with song,
and still others after a period OF counting are
engaged in home-making and Housekeeping.
The farmers early sown grain appears lux
uriant in the fields, and later crops are re-
spending to the influences of the season and
covering the black earth. During the winter
much ugliness appears in nature but it is
the office of spring to cover and conceal all
that is naked and barren and unlovely, and
to make all things lovely. 1t is April that
begins the work of concealment, and it is
Nav that completes it. April has been de-
lightful in its way but May we count one
of the choicest months of the year, and hence,
as we bid goodbye to the passing guest, we
turn with confident anticipation to May and
the delights it promises. Now ii ever, is
good time to be alive.

PROSPERITY ON WHEELS.

From the Fl. Gaines Georgian
The appearance Of many new Ford cars on
the highways of this section is regarded by
some as indication of returning prosperity.
The idea seems to be that good times are
rolling back on the wheels OF fivvers AS the
late Buddy Ed Chambers used to say to
his colored tenants when they Dragged to
him about their fine crops: 1t sounds mighty
good even if it isn't so.

There is nothing more important before
the people of Dawson than the matter of
putting their premises in the most sanitary
condition possible before the heat of summer

breeding of flies and mosquitoes, both carriers
of disease germs and constant menace. We
can afford to be careless about some things,
but not the matter of health.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

From the Dalton Citizen.
How would it do to collect a tax from
each candidate for office? Such policy
would work we'll in two ways. 1t would

anyway, with the following amendment:

German Newspaper Praises
 Book By Charles B. Hughes

| of citizens and officials before the ] war, and it is high time that the | present government should act on | the advice of the State Secretary of the freeSt country in the world. We cannot but subscribe to every word he says about creating a civil service where every employe is satisfied with his work, and the salary he gets and who, regardless of party strife, vic
 tories or defeats of one or the other party, performs his duties most con- cientiously by means of a thorough professional training.
 ''It certainly strikes one to see America taking care of her civil ser wants the moment it became a first class world power, whereas in former times hardly anybody of political inn portance took the slightest notice of them. It means nothing but that the United States wants to strengthen their prominent outer political posi- ton by remOdeling the administration at home along European lines, so as to back up the policy of their states men by a strong and efficient policy at home.
 Germany Initiates Democracy.
 This desire of creating a body or well trained civil servants very much corresponds to our former state life. But 1t is astounding that Germany, by accepting the Weimar constitution, initiated democratic institutions of the States, while America wants to reform her administration along the typfcally German lines.
 Maybe through this exchange of views better underSta nding is brought about between the two coun- | tries, for, if Hughes teaches us about | the reforms and changes in the | administration and the con- ception of the state over there we | hope that the American public will | learn to observe the outstanding l of German self-govern- | ment.
 There is only one aim in the | hearts of good thinking Germans; | to re-establish peace and friendships | between the two nations by means of l a better mutual understanding"

Court Decision Is Cause Of Argument
 Over Works Of Art

Paris, June 19 - The American court decision which upheld a Pitts burgh millionaire's refusal to pay the artist for a portrait which wasn't a speaking likeness has set all the art circles of Paris in a state Of discus sion as to whether a painting must or must not look like the person it is supposed to represent.
 Tt takes courage to say that a portrait must be a. likeness" declares Celement Vautel, the columnist of Le Journal Ut would then follow that a novel must be interesting, a poem must have sense, a. singer must have a voice, a play must amuse the public and music must be an agreea- ble noise"
 The celebrated Paris art critic. Van DOngeen, is. called in by L'Eclair to referee the argument and render his decision. Van Dongen solemnIy assures us that it is much easier for artist to paint the portrait of a woman, because her face nine chances out of ten isn't normal any way Whereas manss face changes from day to day, depending upon his digestion, his business success or failure and his general outlook on life, cosmetics aid in making most women who come to studios to look the same week in and week out, ire spective of their individual idiosyn- cracies.
 'sCertainly I believe the artist should attempt to obtain a resem-
 
 But when you say resemblance. where dies it commence and where does it end? It goes without saying that if you want an absolute line-for- line likeness, 1t is much better to go to a photographer than to a portrait painter.
 There are painters and painters; every painter has his individual style, with which the public is fa- miliar. When a client comes to me for a sitting he knows how the sub- | jecc will be handled. He knows per 1 fectIy that his portrait painted by me !! won't look anything like what it [ would if it were painted by Bonnat | or Cs-ervex. Understand, l am not Criti- ! cizing the work of my collea Eues ! But I want to make clear that every | one sees with a different eye.
 Recently I painted the portrait Of i . celebrated journalist. Certain | critics wrote that the painting made { him look as if he had just left the . Others said it looked like 1 he had just stepped out of a bar room. Now you must admit that when a man leaves the nOrgue he doesn't have the appearance of a man who has just taken down his foot from the rail of a bar.
 "A painter should first of all know his subject. He should study the per sap study his habits. his facial witches. his naEnerisms his char acter. He thus can attain a sympa- ihetic resemblance"
