STUDYING CONSTITUTIONS

The last session of the Legislature
passed a law requiring the United
States Constitution to be studied in
schools. That is very good if not
made a fad to the exclusion of other
useful studies.
The next Legislature should 90 fur
ther and require the State Constitu-
ton and crimes act to be studied.
Thirty years ago gambling on rae
ing horses was all the rage. A moral
rage arose politically and put not only
a law prohibiting it on the statutes
but an amendment to the Constitution
which reads as follows;
Article 5, section :, clause 2.-No
lottery shall be authorized by the leg
islature or otherwise in this State, and
no ticket in any lottery shall be bought
or sold within this State. nor shall
pool-selling, book-making or gambling
of any kind be authorized or allowed
within this State, nor shall any gamb-
ling device, practice or game Of chance
now prohibited by law be legalized or
the remedy, penalty or punishment
now provided therefor be in any way
diminished.

HARDING FOR WORLD COURT.
Not League

If a man were to tell you he favored
the Supreme Court of the United
States and did not favor the L. S.
Constitution nor Congress, a student
of governments would laugh at him.
The Supreme Court was created under
the Constitution.
President Harding who said, when
a candidate, that the League of Ma
tions was dead and we should let
Europe attend to their own business,
made a speech in New York City
Tuesday night commencing the World
Court as a great step in the right di-
rection toward peaceful settlements
Of questions which lead to war.
The World Court will act between
nations as the L. s. Supreme Court
has done to settle disputes between the
States (the thirteen original nations).
Accepting the Court and not the
League of Nations Covenant under
which the Court is created, is to make
the knowing smile at going into the
kitchen to get into the League. The
Court members are the culinary ar
fists who cook the legal meat into
wholesome international products.
Harding is in the right direction,
but the Wabbling deception is seri-
ously amusing.

TAX LAWS AND TRUCKS

Out Of 14,743,0OO automobiles in the
world, the United States has 1854
600 Henry Ford says that 20 years
from now freight will be moved by
motor truck and in the air. The de-
velopment of the motor industry in
this country would indicate some truth
to this statement. In the meantime
however, tax laws will have to be
materially revised 50 that truck oper-
ators will pay a larger percentage OF
the cost of road building and main
tenance Railroads have been forceC
to build their own roadbeds with nc
help from the State, except in a few
instances. while motor trucks pay ir
taxes but a small part of the value
they get from the roads built by the
taxpayers money. As truck traffic in
creases, the taxpayers are entitled t.
a more equitable adjustment.

EDGE AND HOBART DEBATE
Edge Wants Beer And Light Wines,
Hobart Stands by Dry Law

In Newark, before a big audinece.
on Tuesday night, Senator Walter E.
Edge made plea for a repeal of the
Nolstead law made by Congress to en-
force the 18th amendment to the U. S
Constitution. That law defines all IL
quors with more than a half of one
per cent alcohol (.005) as Intoxicating.
He says the law is fagrantly violated
and leads to disrespect for law.
George S. Hobart, of Newark, father
of the New Jersey enforcement law,
spoke for the dTys. He said the Vol
stead law was appropriate legislation
which was enacted by several legisla-
lures before the 18th amendment was
adopted. The law had lessened crimes,
inebriateS and leSSened the need of
charity and increased labor efficiency.
altho imperfeetly enforced. Years be-
fore prohibition the Government had
set the standard for all liquors with
more than half of one per cent (.005)
subject to revenue tax as Intoxicating
liquors. 1t was done at the sugges-
tion of the beer brewers. He contend
ed that Congress cannot change that
which has been recognized as intoXi-
eating. He cited eminent scientists
to prove three per cent beer intoXi-
ing If it does not have the same old
kick they would not want it.
This debate is the beginning Of the
contest between the beer element and
the anti-saloon element in the Republi-
can party. Hobart may be the dry
candidate next year against Edge for
the nomination for [. S. Senator.

As the modern John c. Calhoun and
jefferson Davis Davis, Walter f. Edge
is the orator and Edward |. Edwards
the actor. Andrew Jackson's statue
needs to be kept i'm front of the White
House grounds when these two get in
Washington. On that statue are these
words: The Federal Union Must and
Shall Be Preserved" which are taken
from his proclamation against Nuilif-
cation. Edge and EdraWrds are the
leaders of the nullifers-of the 18th
amendment. Jackson sent word to
Calhoun that he would hang him as
high as Haman, if he did not stop
his notification. The people will do
that with Edge next year and Ed
wards later, politically.

Values Of Vital Statistics

rTHE work-a-day value Of the State bu-
reau of vital statistics will be apparent
to anyone who notes that there are
now on file in the archives OF that depart
ment as\ many as 276,446 birth records, to-
gether with 14S,S39 death records, and who
then reflects that its certified copy of birth
or death record is, under the law, "prima
facie evidence in all courts of the fact stated
on the original record"
Had this service been established genera
lions ago much costly litigation would have
been avoided along with much heart-break-
ing disappointment and injustice. "Our courts
are overloaded" authorities say, with trials
and appeals questions involving the age,
birthplace, legitimacy, citizenship or parent
age, the date or place or cause of death of
some individual; all of which questions
could be settled Immediately If a complete
record Of each birth and each death had been
legally fled as is now required by the vital
statistics law" On such records may depend
a widows insurance, an orphans inheritance,
a disabled soldiers allowance from the gov
eminent. Without them, accurate and
equitable divisions of the common school
fund are hardly possible. By them only can
counties determine whether or not tax
money spent for public health work is yield
ing due returns and procuring efficient
service.
These considerations alone show that vital
statistics are worth incomparably more to
the State and to it's people than the cost of
registering and keeping them. But beyond
and above their value as records by which
legal questions can be settled is their service
ableness in campaigns against disease and in
analyzing sundry social ills. Before the
establishment of the bureau of vital statistics
Georgia had nothing like adequate or de-
pendable data on malaria, tuberculosis, ty-
phoid, or other maIades within her borders,
and hence no sure basis on which to lay
plans fos their conquest. But thanks to the
bureaus efficient service, there is accumu-
lating a great body of classified facts that
will prove continually more valuable to pub
lie health officers and also to scientists and
social welfare workers.
To know the truth is to have found the
way to freedom. The great business of the
bureau of vital statistics is to record the
truth concerning matters that lie at the
roots of the common veal.

MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin S. Cobb


Bob Davis, editor of Munseys magazine
is one of the best letter writers in the world
as those who have had personal or profes
sional correspondence with him can testify
He packs as much Of wisdom into three lines
on a sheet of office notepaper as some people
could put into whole book.
[ remember once that a friend of mine sent
Davis very bad short story. Davis returned
the manuscript with these words:
Dear Bill: This yarn smells to Heaven.
Control yourself, my dear boy-control your
self?"
But I think he rose to his most inspired
heights here just the other day when he re-
ceived from an unknown author jingle.
The sender in a letter accompanying the
verses, declared them to be his very own. But
somehow other, Davis read them over,
he was struck by haunting note of familiar
ity. He pondered a bit and then he had the
answer. Line for line, and almost word for
word the poem was copied from a lyric
which had been sung years before in "The
Yankee Prince"
So Davis fired the offering back to the
pagiarist with this letter:
my dear Sir: l do not believe I care to
use this work Of yours. 1t may be original,
as you claim. Far be it from me to take
issue with you on that point. But l will say
this:
1T is entirely too much of a George NJ.
Cohancidence!"

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY

gathered the summer fruits, as the grape
gleanings of the vintage; there is no cluS-
ter to eat; my soul desired the firSt-ripe
fruit The good man is periShed out Of
the earth, and there is none upright among
men. They all lie in matt for blood; they
hunt every man his brother NTH a net.
That they may do epil with both hands ear
nestly, the prince asketh, and the judge
asketh for a reward; and the great man he
uttereth his mischiepous desire; so they
wrap it up. Therefore | will look
unto the Lord; wiH wait for the God of
my salvation; my God will hear me-

LEARNING TO WRITE
By H. Addington Bruce.

" IME brings with it no diminishing bu
rather an augmenting, Of advertise
ments Of books and correspondence
courses purporting to teach people how tc
write for publication. This of course implies
that there are mutitudes eager to become
writer's and cherishing the belief that with
some technical instruction they can become
successful writer's
How many of them, I wonder, appreciate
that writing is an art, and like any other art
imposes a hard apprenticeship and makes
stern demands on it's vOtaries?
On the testimony of newspaper and mag
azine editors there are no end of aspirants
who seem not to have even a glimmerng of
this truth. Stories, essays, poems, pointless
and almost fOrmless, devoid of beauty and
force, marred even by errors of grammar
and spelling flood editorial offices.
Back they go to their authors-when the
necessary return postage is enclosed. Their
Homecoming is not merely unwelcome. AS
often as not it produces bitter thoughts of
the editors whose judgment was so poor as
to blind them to the merits of the rejected
manuscripts.
Comparatively seldom is the attempt made
to ascertain, through attentive study of the
manuscripts themselves, just WHY they were
rejected. This would be truly helpful
procedure, were it made dispassionately and
with reference to basic principleS@@-" the
writing art.
Chief among these is the principle of never
writing simply for the sake of writing. AL
ways the subject-matter is the thing that
should determine whether one shall write or
no. And always it should determine to writ
ing only when it is something really worth
writing about and concerning which the
writer, through study and reflection, is In a
position to write something worth reading.
Even then the writing art requires clear
ness and beauty of expression. 1t will not do
to set down ones ideas in hapharzard fash
ion Editors sfrOWn on it for its crudi+y- and
unintelligibility.
To gain clearness and beauty Of express
sion the hardest kind of thinking must be
done, and labor of the hardest sort in writ
ing and rewriting. Nor will this alone suf-
flee. There must be a diligent bordering of
words and their meanings, and cultivation
of those niceties of feeling which constitute
what is known as good taste.
All of which implies a degree of effort and
a degree of patience beyond the willingness
of the vast majority of those who purchase
textbooks on how to write or subscribe to
correspondence courses on the same subject
Consciously or subconsciously, they want to
master the writing art quickly. and fancy
they cal master it effortlessIy
Neither of these things is possible nor for
that matter is it possible to master writing

QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

For years there was a playwright around
London who had more venom than ability
He could always pick a success to pieces and
invariably did, but he had never produced a
success Of his own.
One night at the Savage club he became so
foolish to attack the immortal bard Of
Avon.
Shakespeare" he sputtered, lifted half
his plots
This was too much for an old critic, who
came back at him in flash
Then lift one of his and write plav
around it. Show him up"

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

Only the successful man is in a position
to value the worlds praise at its true worth
1t is far more pleasant to preach than to
practice That's why the minority practice.
If you had to live your life over again the
chances are you would make different kind
of fool of yourself.
Crops may come and crops may go, but
the forbidden fruit crop is always with us.
A dollar you have to pay back is twice as
big as the one you borrow.
If you would keep your friends do not let
them permit you to indorse their notes.
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1923-10-11

by textbook aid alone. One must look out
side the textbooks for ones ideas and themes
and plots. One must pass from the text
books to oneself for the development of abiI-
ity, through practice, to handle effectively
the ideas and themes and plots finally gained
through using ones own mind.
SO do not be deceived into assuming that
it is easy for anybody, with few technical
hints to blossom into a successful writer
Nothing could be further from the truth.
