as presented by the President last February,

So does it remain, though Mr.. Harding

on which the American Bar Association has
voted an overwhelming aye, and on which
the American rank and file, we believe, are

er stars in the same group will be visible.
Denebola, the second-mag nitude star lin the
tail of Leo, will lie only few degrees to
the northeast of the sun.
Directly to the east and southeast of the
sun is Virgo. Its brilliant Spica, star of
the first magnitude about thirty degrees to
the southeast of the sun, will form a small.
nearly equal-sided triangle with the planets
Saturn and Mercury. Saturn will be nearly
due north of Spica and Mercury about an
equal distance to the northwest of Spica and
nearly in line with Spica and the sun. The
planets being equal in brightness and con-
siderably brighter than Spica. Some dis
lance to the southeast of Spica lies Jupiter,
the most distant of the bright stars and
planets surrounding the sun at this time.
Mars is, next to Venus, the nearest to the
sun. It will be found to the northwest of
the sun on line connecting the sun with
Regulus and about midway between them.
The stars that will be available for testing
the Einstein theory are comparatively few.
Within the required radius of two degrees
from the sun there about forty stars that
lie between the eighth and ninth magnitude
and two that are brighter than eighth mag
nNude, as compared with the eighty-odd
stars that appeared on plates taken at Wallal
last year, and it will be very doubtful if all
of these can be successfully photographed
Efforts will be made, however, to test by
means Of these stars the Einstein prediction
that has been so closely verified in two pre-
vious eclipses number of expeditions are
planning to obtain plates of the field sur
rounding the sun for this purpose.

JOURNALISM
By DR.. Frank Crane

One of the most potent fetishes is the an.
cient, honorable and eminently respecta bic
little god called Literature.
1t is commonly supposed that Literature is
a kind of writing which is entirely different
from the mere saying of your say clearly
and interestingly.
This little god, like all other idols, gains
much by being surrounded with clouds and
darkness. It's worshipers love it best when
it is adorned with unintelligible phrases and
abounds in indistinct shapes.
Most Literature worshipers have a hearty
contempt for Journalism. Good Journalism
consists in writing about topics in which the
reader is presently interested in manner
that is swift, clear and understands be.. The
esoteric group of the Illuminated Ones are
convinced, first, that the common people are
mostly morons and, second, that anyone who
writes in way that they like and COM
prehend must therefore be moron also.
For the benefit of these Superior Ones
subjoin few remarks on the subject Of
Journalism which I find in Bernard Shaw's
preface to "The Sanity of Art"
Journalism is the highest form of litera-
ture; for all the highest literature is journal
ism. The writer who aims at producing the
platitudes which are mot for an age, but for
all time has his rewarI in being unreliable
in all ages; whilst Plato and Aristophanes
trying to knock some sense into the Athens
OF CHelr DAY, SHaKeSpear popping tnat same
Athens with Elizabethan mechanics and War
wichshire hunts, Ibsen photographing the
local doctors and vestrymen OF Norwegian
parish, Carpaccio painting the life Of ST
Ursula exactly as if she were lady living in
the next street to him, are still alive ard at
home everywhere among the dust and ashes
of thousands Of academic punctilious, arch
aeologically correct men of letters and art
who spent their lives haughtily avoiding the
journalists vulgar obsession with the ephem-
eral.
81 also am journalist, proud of it, DELHI
erately cutting out of my works all that is
not journalism, convinced that nothing out
of my works will live long as literature, or
be of any use whilst it does live. The
man who writes about himself and his own
times is the only man who writes about all
people and about all time. The other sort of
man, who believes that he and his period are
so distinct from all other men and periods
that it would be immodest and irrevelant to
allude to them or assume tat they could in
crest anyone but himself and his contempt
raries, Is the most infatuated Of all the ego
fists, and consequently the most unreliable
and negligible Of all the authors. And so, let
others cultivate what they call literature;
journalism for met"

solar atmosphere at the time. Sometimes it
resembles the cross of light that you see
ABOUT the moon as you look at 1t through
a wire window screen. How far out do the
streamers extend as compared with tha
diameter of the suns disk? In what direc-
ZION do they run? Are they synmetricalIv
arranged about the sun or do they reach out
Iarther on one side than the other? Draw
a picture of the corona as YOU see it. and
compare with the photographs taken by the
Dig telescopes. Is it dark enough to see
stars? How many?
You can photograph the eclipse with any
camera but the image is so small that YOU
may prefer to make big camera for the

thermometer say about it? Does wind start

clouds seem to come closer and take on
lrldescent hues? How do the faces of your

Watch the dog and the cat. Do the birds
become quiet and go to roost? Do any flow

grasshoppers take a nap while ants keep on

their characters in the fable. but do they?
There is plenty to keep one busy during
the two hours or so that the eclipse is on
and especially during the two minutes or so
that 1t is total. .

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

Vaccinations of the dishonest and dangerous
people.
The danger with political judges can hard
ly be sufficiently condemned as matter or
real menace to free government, as brazen /
evil.
The effort to make it appear that varying
organizations in Georgia will vote down any
attempt to rebuke political judiciary appoint
ments should be warning sufficient to pre-,
pare for its onrush. 1t smacks of Bolshev-t
ism, mob law and the general prostitution
of courts throughout the country.
In the olden time judge on the bench
who had been openly charged with such
methods as were revolving to honest minds
and methods would have sought the code
duello to make clean his good name halloo
for his personal courage in "the OPEN"
But this time is past. The pistol settle
ment became too personal and uncertain.
But the world expects a man who wears the
ermine (and the one who conferS that high
honor on doubtful reputation shall walk
out, in the front line, and clarity the s1tua-
ton by furnished proofs and corroborative
testimony as to the reason why it happened.
The situation, already tense, will not be
content to let the charge drop, when the
Judge and the appointing power are in such
contempt of the high court of public opinion.
1t seems pitiful that the governor has no
influence to prevail on the judge to resign,
and so relieve his much-talked-of embarrass-
ment!
That Is what the public thinks, and is nor
timid in saying.
An Encouraging Letter
Wier, Ga, Aug. 25, '23.
Mrs. Rebecca FELTON,.
Dear Mrs. FELTON,: In vety remote dis
trict of Dawson and Lumpkin counties are
many poor, ignorant, but energetic, girls
and boys who are hungry for good litera-
ture.
We became so dissatisfied with the con-
ditions that we have decided to organize
Christian Literary society.
We have a beautiful little Methodist
church, painted white inside and out, with
well-kept campus and cemetery, which Is
the work of the girls and boys, helped by
few older people.
When the work that has been
for them to read, while they are so willing
and eager to better things.
Since we are poor and not able to buy
many books, we feel that there are peopla
that are willing to help us if we only ask,
so we are praying God that our asking will
not be in vain. We will be thankful for
any donation whether large or small If
you have any good books which you have
read and wish to give away that you think,
would help to make better girls and boys
or our community we would be thankful
and would gladly receive them.
Ii you know of a friend of yours who
would be interested in us please tell them
about US.
Will be anxiously waiting for an early
reply.
Thanking you in advance for any interest
you may show toward us, Yours sincerely

N eclipse of the sun is one of the few
~ scientific events in which everybody
= must take an interest. 1t will absorb
the attention of the astronomers of the
world, and it will not pass unnoticed by
chick or child within the path of totality. 1t
will not be viewed with alarm as in former
ages nor held to presage the fall Of kings,
for both astrology and kings are now gener-
ally recognized as exploded fallacies. But
an eclipse remains as awe-inspiring a spec
tacle as ever, and is more fascinating to
watch than when it was shrouded with super
stition.
We are used to seeing total eclipses of the
sun by the earth, for they occur to us every
evening everywhere, but man is rarely
lucky if a total eclipse of the sun by the
moon comes his way once in lifetime, and
he should make the most advantage of it..
The eclipse of September 10 will be total
only for a strip of the southern coast of Cal
ifornia, but the sun will be seen as half or
more obscured over the entire United States
some time between the beginnings of the
eclipse at 11:15 a. m. in Washington state
and it's ending at $3.50 p. M in Florida.
Since the moon has no atmosphere the
edge of its shadow is sharply defined, and it
cannot overcome us like summer cloud
without our special wonder" To those who
are ION high mountain or in an airplane in
the patch of totality the advancing shadow
will be seen sweeping over the landscape as
wall of darkness, at the rate of mile in
two seconds.
You should look for the mysterious
shadow bands that flicker over white walls
or other smooth surfaces few minutes be-
fore and after the eclipse is total They ap-
pear a swiftly moving series of wavy dark
lines, an inch or more wide and foot or
less apart. How fast do they move? Faster
than you can run?
Possibly you may catch sight of "Baily's
beads" named after the British astronomer
who in the eclipse of May Is, 1885, observed
that the last slender line of light broke up
into chain of dark beads just before the
sun was covered by the moons disk. What
color is the last strip? Crimson, yellow or
brick red? Bright red protuberances may
be discerned about the darkened disk; "a
box of ebony garnished with rubies" some
body has called it. These. are jets of mean
descent hydrogen elected from the sun,
sometimes a hundred thousand miles into
space.
When the sun is quite covered you may
see the halo or corona which will be the
chief point Of scientific interest in the COM
ing eclipse. 1t varies greatly in size and ap-

THANKS TO THE BAR ASSOCIATION OF
ATLANTA

THANKS TO THE BAR ASSOCIATION OF
ATLANTA
%HE discussion of and newspaper reports
concerning the appointment of Judge
- Howard to the superior court bench in
Fulton county have been widely read over
the state of Georgia and elsewhere. 1t was
brave attempt on the part Of The Bar as
ISOLATION to give the facts, after a public
meeting was announced and held to consider
the subject, because the matter concerned
one other parsonage very seriously, namely,
the governor who made the appointment,
which has been thus examined and which
closes the incident so far as the Bar associa-
ton is concerned.
The entire proceedings were handled in a
manner and spirit which deserves public
praise and due respect. For one, 1 am glad
to say that the examination of witnesses was
something imperatively demanded, because
the matter was introduced to the people of
Georgia by intelligent members of this Bar
association, and the result of the inves+iga-
ton will doubtless be sustained in the COM
ing campaign during 1924.
Wise Mark Hanna once said, Everything
that is brought into political campaign
either hurts or helps" Hurting and helping
are comparative terms, as we understand
but the report of the Bar association will
give the state of Georgia an opportunity to
consider the future appointment of judges
toI pOlAIlCdl purposes, III q concerted way,
that will do good no matter how it may be
presented.
1t has been seriously complained Of in
years gone by. 1t found vociferous opposi-
ton in Bullock's time, but the matter of po-
litical judges prevailed long after Bullock s
administration was done and over with
AS late as 1886 there was open condem-
nation of an appointment of supreme court
judge who was himself candidate for gov
ernor and who retired from the race to 0c-
cupy the bench and wear the ermine after a
political combination which was 'brazen in
its appearance and clearly underst God as an
appointment to represent a political trade
between the afterwards judge and the sue
cessful candidate for governor Among those
who complained was the ruling newspaper in
the judges. own city.
A writer of that era printed the following:
Political judges have become tsuch a curse
to the state that during the present Iegisla-
ture two bills have been introduced for the
purpose of correcting this practice. . =.
This evil has been complained of for years
and 1t must be abated by legislative enact
ment or so rebuked by the people that men
who are insensible of the dignity and obliga-
tons of judicial station shall be made to
fear the Indignation and contempt which
must fall upon them if these are violated"
Certainly this recent appointment must
come before the senate of Georgia for con-
frmation or rejection. If it does not, then
the law concerning confirmation of appoint
ments to the bench should be made COM
mand, for there Is no question as to the re-
quirements of judge who must decide on
questions of life and death as we'll as the
protection of honest cOntenders against the

RECOGNITION of Mexico

.T HOUGH the terms of the agreement
under which Washington recognizes
the Obregon government are not yet
made public, the main fact itself carries
enough good news for the nonce. That
neighbors long at odds over matters not
half so momentous as their mutual interests
are to resume diplomatic relationships in an
event of happy omen and of much present
Importance.
On business grounds alone the United
States and Mexico have the best of reasons
to keep friendship unclouded. The volume
of trade flowing between them has grown
already great, despite the many discourage
ments of the last ten years; with a clear
channel on both sides of the border, it should
gain immensely in vigor and in range. Her
petroleum output alone, makes Mexico
prime factor in the worlds industry and
commerce. From her wells came nearly one.
fourth of the total production for the year
1920, since when she has tapped new veins.
The famous Naranjas pools in the SOU hern
field produced in that one year ninety mil
lion barrels, said to be the largest outpour
ing ever known. This one resource, with
its vast significance to motoring, to aviation,
to marine travel and to divers industrial &C
tiyiti-s insures Mexico an economically pow
erful future
1t was a difference of judgment on foreign
rights in the matter of oil holdings and con-
cessions that kept the two countries diplo-
matically apart. That the Obregon admin
istration was government in fact and in
right, that it was stable, responsible, consti-
tutional and deserving of the good opinion
of mankind, was never gainsaid. Our state
department withheld recognition, however,
until certain doubts touching the oil claims
of American investors could be cleared. This
both sides-an accomplishment for which
the American representatives at the recently
concluded conference, Mr.. John Barton
Payne and Mr.. Charles B. Warren, are due
unstinted thanks.
Thus freed of all distractions, relations
between the United States and Mexico should
grow in good will, in profitableness, and in
service to those principles of democratic ciy;-
lization from which all our New World re-
publics took their rise and to which they all
are additionally dedicated.

Venus Near Sun During Eclipse-By Isabel M Lewis


~ far the most interesting and striking
X feature of totality during the eclipse
-" of September 10 aside from the ap-
pearance of the pearly coronal light and
scarlet prominences will be the appearance
of the brilliant Venus almost in conjunction
with the sum-
Venus reaches superior conjunction with
the sun a few hours before the sun and
moon are in conjunction. At the time of the
eclipse it will be little over two diarneters
of the moon distant from the suns limb
and to the northeast of the sun. Since it is
at this time on the far side of its orbit from
the earth it is far less brilliant than when
it appears as morning or evening star, but
even with this disadvantage Venus will far
outshne every star and planet in the sky.
Owing to its close proximity to the it
will appear on even large scale photographs
of the eclipse and will resemble the full
moon in phase. This "full-moon" phase is
one in which we never see Venus except
upon such an extremely rare occasion as this,
for ordinarily it is lost in the rays of the sun
at the time of conjunction. Not only Venus
but Mercury, Mars. Jupiter and Saturn will
all be above the horizon at the time Of the
eclipse and with the exception of Jupiter
within less than thirty degrees Of the sun.
AS the sun is now in Leo and not far from
the boundary between this constellation and
Virgo one may expect to see the brighter
stars in these two consultations during the
total phase of the eclipse. About twenty
degrees to the northwest of the sun will ap-
pear Regulus, a star of the first magnitude,
at the end of the handle of The Sickle in
Leo, and probably one or two of the bright
