THE COST OF BAD ROADS

There are many localities in Geor-
gia that are spending enough an
nually on roads repairs to pay
maintenance and interest charges
on bond issue for better highways.
And if in addition you figure the
additional tine it takes every far
mer and truckman to haul stuff over
those miserable highways, there
would be handsome profit in the
proposition Of improving those
roads.
The farmer who thinks he can't
afford to pay for a better road,
should ask how long it takes him to
transport his stuff over the present
rough going, and how long it would
take over a good one. After he
figures the additional cost of auto
mobile tires, gas, repairs, or horse
flesh, he will find in many cases
that lie would make money if he
would join in a movement for bet
ter roads.

MAKING COUNTRY LIFE WORTH
WHILE

People get out of country life
about as many benefits as they put
into it. You can't get something for
nothing anywhere. If people move
into country town, and expect
everything to be done for them, and
they are not willing to take their
part in the activities of the place
they will not get much out of it.
If live family moves into a
country town, and will take hold to
help in its organizations and its
social life and it's business problems,
they can accomplish tangible re-
suits along each of those lines, be
sides making friendships that will be
dear to them all their lives. If a
dozen families of that type would
move into some sleepy towns, they
could revolutionize those places in a
year.

IMpRovING ON MEMS WORK

"Men have made a mess of poll
ties, and now we must go in and
try to improve conditions" is a re-
mark sometimes made by women
who are interested in public affairs
But can they do it?
1t is not strange that many cap
able and achieving women, who are
able to handle their own households
efficiently, and carry on philan-
thropic enterprises and civic move
ments with great skill and fine mi
tiative, should be more or less
Disguised when they look at the
failures Of political life. If they
read the leading organs of opinion
edited by men, they find general
admission that the government Of
the country, the states and the mum
icipalities is long way from salts
factory.
AS result many women, since
gaining the right of suffrage, have
been confidently expecting that very
important gains were going to be
made in the practice of government
as the result of the participation Of
their sex. Women in the states
where they have had the ballot for
considerable term of years, are
disposed to claim that conditions
have improved since female suffrage
was established. Yet perhaps they
overlook the fact that governmental
conditions are improving every
where, and that even if the women
had not had the ballot, the men
would not have been idle all these
years, but would have accomplished
many useful improvements even if
they had not had the assistance Of
women.
In some respects women have
higher standards than men. They
realize better the needs of the
home and the children. But II Chey
are going to make any large inn
provement in the political field, they
must beware how they are swayed
by certain tendencies that have al
ways operated against good govern
ment when the voting privilege was
solely in the hands of the men.
Women may show these same weak
tendencies too.
They must beware of voting for
people merely because they are
smooth anad plausible takers, with
out regard to their ability to get
results and their possession of
sound and reliable Judgment.

oKEYTNG TRAFFIC oFFicER

There are good many sutomo-
bile drives who seem to think
that the orders Of triffice officer
can be safely disregarded.
The use Of traffic officers at
crowded street intersections Is a
great benefit to the motoring public,
and the signals they give should be
not always see just why signal is
given. 1t may turn him temporarily
in some direction different from
what he wants to 90. But such reg
ulation is provided to avoid conges-
ton and conditions likely to cause
accidents.
The multitude Of cars upon the
road now makes necessary a care
full regulation of traffic in many city
and town centers. Strict obedience
to all police orders and local regu-
lations that the tourist encounters
viii save some annoying sessions in
the courts and some fines.

ACCEPTING PUBLIC OFFICE

There are lot of people who find
much fault with the way the coun-
try is run, both as respects federal
and state governments, and their
own municipal affairs. Yet if you
asked these folks to run for some
public office, and try to make some
personal affort to put conditions on
better basis, great many Of them
would positively refuse.
And these folks who would de-
cline such task are often the
very ones who ought to take it up,
because they would have such eX-
cellent qualifications for public SER
vice. 1t is an unfortunate condition
in many cities, that many of their
ablest men remain entirely outside
the field of municipal activity and
some won't even vote at elections
and primaries. Yet a lot of them
will keep up constant fire of criti-
cism on the people who are holding
public Office, even when these peo-
pie are doing the best they know
how. 1t is pretty hard to secure
good government unless people who
are we'll qualified for public func-
tons feel some degree of respon-
sibility for taking their share Of
this work.
Many men of course could not
very we'll leave their own business
and go to Washington or Atlanta to
serve in the legislature. There are
some whose care are such that they
ought not to be asked even to serve
in any municipal office. But as a
rule well qualified people ought to
be willing to accept official positions
in their own community, or at least
to take their turn at them.
If the leading business and pro-
fessional men in a town are willing
to take turns in holding the NUM-
icipal offices of that city, there are
in position to furnish much bet
ter government than exists in the
average place. Poor government in
great many cities is due largely to
the fact that men of exceptional
competence, whose ability is so gem
orally recognized that they could
get elected to anything, will so oft
en- refuse to take any public Office.
They give the excuse that their
business would suffer. But perhaps
their business would benefit by
training understudies who could
take their place in case of emergen-
cies.

cLEW TO LOST ISLAND RACE
Prot. MacMllIen Brown Examines 100
Stone Images In Easter island
Which May Tell the Story.

Sydney-Prof. MacMlllen brown, a
noted Polynesian authority, has re-
turned from Easter island, which, he
says, Is the most inaccessible place Ia
the world.
The huge cattle ranch there owned
by a Valparaiso firm is worked by 300
natives and two whites, and is visited
annually by Chilean schooner. There
are no land birds or native animals,
and once small gray rats We're used
as currency and ultimately served as
titbits for the aristOcracy.
Professor Brown examined the 100
famous stone images in human form
standing on great stone platforms, be-
low which are chambers where are
claced the bleached bones of the dead.
Some OF the statues are Of immense
size, ftAly 20 feet In height and
crowned by huge stone hats
The professor believes that tens OF
thousands of workmen erected the
monuments to the people Of a bygone
Pacific empire inhabitlng the ring OF
archipelagoeS whereof Easter island
Is the center. The native name means
navel or center of the earth. PROBES.
sor Browns theory is that food was
taken 10 the workers III canoes from
peighbOring islands by the masters
who came to bury the great men Of
the race.
There Is unmlstakable evidence Of
the sudden abandonment of the work,
probably cataclysm submerged the
islands, cutting off the supplies Of the
workers.

THE PASSING OF PRESIDENT
HARDING

While our nation enjoys gOodly
measure of peace and prosperity
she is suddenly called upon to
mourn the loss of her national lead
er. Tears blend with triumphs as
we stop to mourn, yea, to pray that
the Great Invisible Intelligence of
the Universe, the God we worship,
send more laborers who, while they
work for their own country, shall
sacredIy regard the liberty of other
people and the rights of man.
It has been pointed out as a
strange and perhaps suggestive
coincidence that the four Presidents
who, during the memory of men now
very zenith of their activities, were
all men of amiable, even loving and
tender, dispositions. Lincoln, Gar
field, Mckinley, and Harding, in
their relations to their fellow men,
were of distince type. Each made
daily sacrifice of himself to the de-
mands made by others. The normal
duties Of the presidency may well
impose upon any man all in the way
Of effort and thought of which the
human body and mind are capable.
The last official words of Presi-
dent Harding, urged more of the
Christ spirit, more of the Christ
practice, and now and abiding con-
secration to reverence for God" 1t
was an address to have been de-
livered by him at presentation of
the Knight Templars' international
baauseant to California Knights,
and was read by Mr.. Christian, his
secretary.
Life is a mysterious thing. If it
were merely to serve the physical
ends of our existence, the neces-
sity of human life might well be
doubted. But if it is to achieve
some high purpose of the Creator,
then it is we'll for mankind to be
born, to struggle, to have the urge
of ambition, to achieve, and to die.
TO work for the purpose of MAX
ing better, that is worth doing; to
take an honorable and useful part
in the affairs of ones country and
ones people is worthy reason for
existence. There are no regrets or
misgivings about life spent in use
full, helpful effort. There need be
no tears because of the death of the
man who has done all he can in his
sphere of action to advance man
kind. More than this no man can
do.
In his whole active public life
Warren G. Harding has been clear
in his thinking, high in his purposes,
fair in his contentious, careful and
sound in his judgments, scholarly
and chaste in his utterances, kind
and considerate and generous, cloth
ed with all in that courtliness of
bearing which lent peculiar charm to
his personality.
At the meridian of his powers and
usefulness our President took his de-
parture from fireside and forum.
Why a thing like this should be done
, we don't know-it belongs to the
endless mysteries of life. But some
how we know that in the economy
of the universe and the endless
years, it must be well. Somewhere
there must be kingdom where
life's deeper meanings are revealed,
life's injustices corrected, life's en-
capabilities leveled, life's incomplete
ness made whole.

THE PHYSICIAN AND THE
PREACHER
THE

The lost arts are the regret of
the world. Before any nation now
in being was nation, men know
how to make edged tools of copper
and glass as malleable as modern
gutta-percha. Such knowledge was
lost in the dark ages. But, happily
for the world we seem to be upon
the point of regaining something
better than the forgotten material
treasures.
1t is only in comparatively modern
times that there has been a divorce
between healing of the body and
the healing of the soul. From the
earliest records of human thought
and experience there was complete
twinship in the treatment of the
diseased spiritual and physical sides
of man. The "sound mind in the
sound body of the Romans was no
more new thought than the pres
ent-day "New Thought" or "Menti-
culture" or any other name that
may be chosen to express the
thought that was eXempliiied in
every action and teaching of Jesus
Christ. The automatic truth is that
no man can be well in thought if
he is sick in body. Healing must be
dual to be worth moments time
and toll.
Man from the beginning of time
has been a trader. He gives willing
ly something for something. But he
will not give something for nothing
The doctor who does not preach
by his personality, rs well as his
words, the gospel of sunlight, fresh
air, pure food and sanitation, is a
barnacle upon his profession. The
doctor so unimaginative that all his
thoughts are shaped by icy formulate
and proved material facts has no
right at any bedside, however valu-
able might be his work in the
laboratory of the chemist or the
biologist.
And so we consider the black
CARRIED expounder of dole, gloom
and dammation, and the pulpiter
who deals only with theology out
side the scope Of "human natures
daily needs" unfit to be spiritual
counselors of the people.
1t is because of these classes that
more men than ever before i'll the
worlds history are distressing medi-
cine and the profession; and more
ministers are asking, "Why do so
few people go to church?" DR.. Wor-
chester, of Boston, answers frankly
by saying, "They don't so because
they feel that they are not suffering
much loss by staying away"
The two professions were once
one, and now, as we come to realize
that man is not merely an animal,
not yet q disambodied spirit, but
that soul and body are knit in a
mystic union-as we come to realize
this truth, the two greatest of the
professions must again be friends
and allies; the doctor must become
more spiritual and the clergyman
more scientific.
The movement in this direction,
already under way, will be accepted
as long step toward that practical
Christianity which the Master
preached and practiced.
