"All Is Vanity"
BY REV. H. C. OFFERMAN
Perfect, yet clumsy.

Perfect, yet clumsy.
Prin-yet prude.
A boy-yes. a boy.
Everything in good running or
der; good lines, and nice polish ;
everybody seemingly happy, a we'll
pleasing appearance, yet-ineffect-
ual, inefficient, insufficient.
Oh, so very nice, and not single
spot.
Oh, so very nice, and not single
thought.
Blowing Bubbles; Castles of Air;
Thinking Gymbals.
All is Vanity, all!

The Now Royalty

The yokel in the days of old
Knelt down before throne Of gold
And would have been considered bold
To call his soul his own.
But now with pride he can't conceal
He honks royal trumpet peal;
His scepter is steering wheel,
His flivver is throne.

Some people talk and never balk in con-

of empty words they chatter, never tagging,
and by my soul, from pole to pole, they
keep constant bawling, but on my word
I've never heard thing that's worth recall

disturbing land and ocean and all they do
is simply to create a great commotion.

Although at first thought, equal division
among the counties Of revenue from the
gasoline tax appears unjust to the counties
paying the bulk of it, yet every mile added
to the good roads in counties contagious to
jefferson makes it easier for people to trade
in Birmingham.
Also, the farther good road reaches, the
farther motorists may drive in comfort. A
state cannot completely prosper until all
counties are equally well served by high
ways.
Rome was prosperous because all roads
converged there. Let the slogan be: All
roads lead to Birmingham. The more far
reaching the highway influence and invita-
ton, the better for Birmingham.
Nice People

And all his ilk;
He says my car
Runs smooth as silk.

Politics makes strange bedfellows, but
never willingly touches together politician
and civil service. It makes them positively
uncivil.
There may be reason in all things, but
in some cases it seems to be a waste of
reason.

DANISH RULER is A GIANT
King Christian Six Feet Six Inches
Tall. One Was Eiuht Feet.

King Christian, who celebrated his
silver wedding recently, is 6 feet 6
inches in height, the tallest of the
worlds rulers. He comes of a family
noted for height. In the cathedral of
Roskilde, where Denmark's kings lie
buried, the only monument to Chris
tian / is a line scratched eight feet
above the pavement on a pillar, which
shows his stature when alive. Many
famous men have measured themselves
against this record of the giant king,
but the only n to surpass it was Pat
Murphy, the Irish wonder, who tow
cred 8 feet 6 inches.
Coincidence rather than heredity en-
ables the present Danish king to up
hold the tradition, for the royal family
of Denmark is not Danish in blood or
descent so much as German.

AMONG THE SCOUTS
AT CAMP GRIZZLY

# % j Il Il j. i u i i ss \ i Ss u :
The bad weather last Saturday kept
many boys from reaching camp as
the roads were expected to be bad
but were not.
New arrivals-Austin Morelock and
Stanton Walker from Oakesdale came
last Thursday. Tekoa sent a fine
bunch of scouts Sunday and the fol-

son, and Howard Riggs, the smallest
scout in camp. Scout Davis also re-
gistered from Pullman.
A justice court was held last Fri
day night and was differed by
scouts, given only a minutes notice.
A scout was up for breaking a bow;
justice was meeted out, with quick
ness and dispatch. Malcolm Renfrew,
a coming legal luminary, was attor-

Henry Heckathorne, Jr., made a
splendid plea for the state and so the
defense was found guilty and sen

instantly evicted all spectators who
became convulsed with laughter and
kept the dignity of the court always

himself with great credit and the
audience was not only amused with
the evenings entertainment but
pleased at the mature de-
alterations.

TO STOP H0PI SNAKE DANCE

Indians in Arizona Requested to Dis
continue Famous Tribal Dance.
Charles III. Burke, United States
commissioner of Indian affairs, has re-
quested Indian tribes of Arizona to
discontinue their tribal dances, espe-
cially the famous Hopi snake dance
held each August, and has made
known that the request will be fol-
lowed BY an executive order II neces-
sary.
The belief that the handling Of poi
sonou reptiles is injurious to the In
dams is said to have led to the re-
quest.
Indians in northern Arizona have ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the re-
quest on the ground that it constitutes
interference with tribal religious cere-
monies. The Hopi snake dance is
known as one of the worlds most IA
nous Indian ceremonials, and has been
witnessed by thousands Of visitors In
past years.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

is up to the governor to explain He should
have dashed the intruders from the temple,
built by the tax money of the state and dedi-
Gated to Wisdom, Justice and Moderation.
This occupancy was in poor taste, to say the
least. The actors or performers have much
to explain and nothing to brag about. When
the extra session conVenes some honest MEM
Der of the legislature should introduce a res
olution to reach this usurping performance
and to prevent a second happening
Some of the states officials have been
there a lon gtime. It will be needless to
say that Comptroller W. A. Wright never left
his door unlocked to permit a Ku KIux adj
venturer into its limits, to carry on some
secret political meeting and hide up the
names of those who swear secret Oaths and
ride roughshod over the liberties of people
who desire justice and claim judgment in
the state capitol, when the last night was
used to do this work. If the governor has
sensed his duty and obligation to the people
of Georgia he will explain this lapse of Off
cial duty with his appointees to office, and
hasten to declare that it shall not happen
again during his term of office. He can not
do less, as I see it. l remember to have
heard the governor when making a speech
in my own town during 1920 He brought
bold charges against his opponent ex-senator
Hardwick denounced him as a traitor to the
United States government because he CHard-
Wick) defended a foreigner, as a lawyer,
when he was holding no office in the state
or nation. [ thought the denunciation was
too severe, and was only exploited to defeat
his opponent at the approaching election,
which failed.
1t is legitimate to say in this connection
that the shoe is now on the other foot and
when Ex-Governor Hardwick tells the people
of Georgia next year about the admission of
a secret political order into the state capitol
to work it's sweet will among thesmembers
of the general assembly, in midnight dark
ness during the last hours of the session,
he will have a text for a sermon that will be
generally listened to. The Ku Klux Khan
ragged and raVed, according to custom to de-
feat HardWick and control the state govern
ment but nobody, l presume, but the secret
council ever supposed that a Toom in the
state capitol would be provided for the use
Of the order, and whose influence operated
to defeat nearly all needed legislation, and
made the Legislature itself a kissing and a
byword from Rabun Gap to Tybee Light, be-
cause of its inefficiency and dO-nothing pro-
cliVities. They were either lobbyists or
secret conspirators. They never belonged
there for any righteous purpose

WAKE UP, CITIZENS! MIND YOUR
OWN BUSINESS!

N n ANY Of us still living remember when
M the capitol of Georgia was erected on
its present site or location. 1t was
said at the time that 1t was a remarkably
clean job, and compared most favorably with
the old one on the corner of Marietta and
Forsyth streets
Tt is a building which the thoughtful peo-
pie of Georgia are proud of-and deservedly
so. The rooms set apart for state officials
do not belong to the said officials to carry on
any particular enterprise, separate and dis
tinct from the states business. They can
not turn this occupancy to any other use
than the use of the stated
1t was a distinct surprise, maybe a shock,
to thousands of newspaper readers to know
that the room set apart for the fish and game
commissioner had been converted into a
lodge room for the Ku Klux Khan to initiate
MEMBERS even when the legislature was con-
Quoting a night session-and every man
needed in the states business.
Somebody turned over that room to out
siders. The acting fish and game commits
sioner comes out in print to say it was done
without his knowledge or consent 1t goes
without saying that somebody should have
kept the key to that room in a safe place, and
it is news to our people that any outside or
ganization can do this sort OF bold thing
without the highest state officials permits
sion or consent.
The very idea of such occupancy gets on
ones nerves. Somebody IS responsible, and
the responsibility should be shown up and
publicly reproved. Things arc muchly mixed
when the Ku Klux Khan or any other clan
Or political secret organization can find any
sort of open door to use for its particular
purposes under the dome>of the capitol.
1t may be that higher authority than the
neglectfuI fish and game commissioner gave
the wink and the open sesame was we'll I'M
derstood between the bigger people, who
gave permission for such uses of the states
offices to the Ku Kluxers. The Legislative
members who were being sworn in that night
as their members should be picked out and
recorded in the public records.
1t is openly stated that legislative mem
Der from Fulton county was the high priest
of the occasion. 1t is well known that this
member is 'chief cook and bottle washer"
at the Temple of Labor. This temple is
almost within stones throw of the state
capitol. 1t could be reached within three
minutes walk. Why this usurpation and oc-
cupancy of a room in the states capitol? 1t

Home Cunning and Forest Fires


I'm the increased and increasing cost of
home construction DR.. Charles W. Eliot,
president emeritus of Harvard, sees
grave menace to American standards of ltv-
ing. When such costs are so high as to dis
courage home ownership or to make for
shoddy building, social as we'll as individual
interest needs must suffer.
The roots of this problem, as of most 9th
ers, run far and deep. Georgia legislators
who killed the forestry bill last summer had
no intention, we assume, Of making 1t hard
for their constituents children to acquire
homes, or of adding to the already heavy
burdens Of present-day living budgets. Yet,
This will be an inevitable result If forest de-
pletion by fire and waste, against which the
proposed law would have guarded, goes on
unchecked We are paying now for the
short-sightedness and selfishness of the
past Those who follow us will pay still
more dearly unless we face about betlmes.
No wonder building materials are high
when millions of acres of woodland are an
nually swept by flames! Ana georgia, De
it remembered, has twice as many prevent
able forest fires as any other state in the
Union.
Apart from discourag cement to hometown
ing, destruction of the sources and a con-
seQuent increase in the cost Of building ma
terial has a most unfortunate effect on the
character of construction. Under the pres
sure of high costs,'' lays the Minneapolis
Journal, "there comes the temptation to
skimp in quality. The pleasing appearance Of
house when first built may cover poor ma
terials and poor workmanship, but in a
short time shoddy is tell tale. What should
be of main concern is not how cheap one
can build but how we'll. Permanent building
is in the end the only economical building,
and is an important element in keeping
property values stable and neighborhoods
up to high levels"
True thousand times true. But what
are would-be home owners of moderate
means to do if the forest fires keep burn
ing and legislators continue to shut their
minds to the consequence?
