PROFESSIONALISM
By DR.. Frank Crane

I don't like a typical Englishman, or a
typical Scotchman, or typical German, or
a typical Church Member, or a typical Lit
erary Man, typical Musician, or a
typical Anythin garian. I like a Man.

Club Woman, or Blue Stocking or Work
ing Woman, or Society Favorite. / like a
Woman.

All professionalism, ecclesiasticism, all
mannerisms and affectations, all uniforms,
cooked hats and badges, all classes, cliques,
select circles and responsibilities that aim
to substitute some artificiality for the In
d1vtdual, are not for me. l will take just
plain Folks.
OF course, certain exclusions and profess
sionallsms are practically necessary. I
should think, for instance, that for King
these are life-savers. If he were not
hedged about by sort of divinity and
plenty of horse-guards the crowd would
probably trample him to death.
understand that Billionaire must have
his secretaries, and first, second and third
assistant secretaries weed out the appli-
cants that come to his door, else he would
not nave moment of time to eat his
lunch or smoke his pipe. And if he lis

exclusions, therefore, as 1abor-saving de-
vices doubtless have their place; but one
VINO mas to have them is to be pitied and
not enYled. Nothing can make me believe
that 1t IS not more fun to go into restau-
rant rant, eat your meal and receive no atten-
ton except that which you paw for to the
waiter IMAM 1t is to have somebody blow
horn and the crowd stand back and
everybody rise and look solemn while you

DESTINY'S CHILD
BY HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR

What has gone before.--Courtney Her
rington induces Lorry Granville to mar
ry him just after she has discovered
that Tom Ransome, the man she really
loves, is unworthy. Lorry doesnot love
her husband, and his love for her is so
intense that it frightens her. After
her marriage she still yearns for Tom,
and the knowledge that she is to be-
bellion that she does not tell Courtney
about it. He discovers the truth by
chance from Lorry's mother-Now go
on with the story.

Why the Senate Should XIII
Tax Eaua1ization .Rebea1

Tax Equalization .Rebea7
THE vote of the House on tax equaliza-
ton does not mean, necessarily, that
the law will be repealed. The Senate
is yet to act Therein lies the hope of those
who realize what peril to the State 1t would
be to abolish the sole existing means of pro-
curing anything like adequate revenues,
without first vouchsafing an effective sub
stitute
No one, we take 1t, deems the present law
altogether satisfactory. But it's severest
critics will hardly deny that 1t is an improve
ment upon the old, shiftless custom of pass
ing the hat" for tax contributions. Grant
that 1t Is defective that 1t is insufficient, that
in certain instances 1t may prove unjust. All
this IS no excuse for that which would be
sand fold more unjust. The remedy~for one
wrong is not, assuredly, to perpetrate
greater wrong.
No member Of the Legislature Is so artless,
we assume, as to suppose it possible to abol-
ish the equalization system and put nothing
better in its place, without exposing the
State treasury to Impeachment. The con-
sequence would be to cripple all the schools
and to close many of them, particularly those
of the rural districts; to impair all State
services and Institutions: to work pitiable
hardship upon Confederate veterans and
their widows; to halt humanitarian endeav-
ors of the utmost importance; and to set
Georgia shamefully back, not only in the
eyes of the nation, but as well in tpe con-
science and the life of her own people.
Shall such ills be brought down upon the
commonwealth merely for the carrying of
point? There is one way, right and wise
way, by which the advocates Of tax equaliza-
ton repeal can win without difficulty or crit
icism. Let them simply propose or support
better plan, and press it consistently to
enactment. The moment that is DONE re-
peal of the present system will be accom-
pIished That is the road to reform; the
other is the road to bankruptcy.
Thousands Of thinking people now look to
the Senate to avert disaster. That body, by
insisting upon constructive action as the pre-
requisite to doing away with the equalization
plan will render the State immeasurable and
never-to-be-forgotten service.

J This country leads not only in electric
light but also, according to DR.. Thomas T.
Read, of the Federal Bureau of Mines, in
power 1.-THE real basis of the power of a
nation" says he, sis its energy resources
rather than It's man-power strength. ~The
modern way to use the energy of a man is
to employ 1t in way similac to the little
detonator of the big explosive shell-the lit
tie charge sets off the big one and does an
amount OF work far in excess Of it's own
capacity. The energy output OF an average
workman is about one-tenth OF a horsepower.
The energy expended by coal miner in an
eight-hour day thus amounts to about that
available from two pounds Of coal. A Japa-
nese miner who gets out fourteen hundred
pounds of coal a day, thus muNiplies his
energy by seven hundred. 1t is somewhat
ike planting one grain of wheat and having
seven hundred grow from it. The American
miner gets out eight thousand eight hundred
pounds of coal in a day and so multiplies his
energy by four thousand four hundred.
There are forty-one million wage earners in
the United States, and their energy output is
a. little over four million horsepower, or only
nine times the potential energy output, in
the form of coal, of one hundred miners"
So 1t is that the real sources of Industrial
strength are in COAL in petroleum. In water
power; and in these the United States leads
the world. Indeed, no other country, says
our authority, has as much as one-fftieth of
the total energy resources of ours,
