WHO DO YOU WANT FOR PREsIDENT?-

l11deound political bosses always have made cap
ita out the assertion that dominating control of
the masses by the few is necessary because it is
impossible to get anexpression of the public will
For this reason alone we urge every man and wo-
man OF voting age to express choice in the nation
wide vote being conducted by this newspaper and
the country newspapers of the United States, as
explained elsewhere in these columns
The vote may show wide divergence of opin-
ion as to the best ma nto head the nation, and that
may be unmportant, but it is very important that
full expression be made, so that when our local
votes are added to those OF all other newspapers
stretching from Maine to California political lead
ers may not be able to say the people ndiffer-
ent to their own interest. Let political leaders in
all parts of the land get clear idea of what is in
the public mind.
Cast your vote early that we can clear the deck
tor the tabulating action. The job of gathering
classifying and counting the votes from all the
newspapers that with this newspaper hold exclu-
sive Autocaster franchise, is tremendous under
taking but it will be thoroughly DONE and the re-
suit OF the whole country will be announced in
these columns.
There may be few unthinking persons among
us who regard the vote of the readers Of the coun-
try press as unrepresentative, but let us remind
these gentlemen that when they think of the home
town newspaper as an institution, it is greater than
all the national magazines and metropolitan news
papers rolled into one. There are, 100000
PEOPLE IN this country and 100000 of them live
In towns under and including 5000 population An
expression from the readers of the country press
VIII be clear cut expression of the controlling
power in America, the folk in the country. Cast
your vote. Sign it or not you choose, but ex-
press yourself.

Why Eugenic Law Filled

AS with prohibition. laws one state
finds difficulty in making any real
reform when laxity is found outside
her boundaries. Wisconsin's young
people instead of conforming to her
eugenic law simplify went over to the
bordering states to be married so that
it was for Wisconsin unaided failure.
The time is not far distant when-fed-
cral laws must be made for both mar
riage and divorce as only in ',''~rm-
ity can they be regulated and h s~~t;-
ment is growing that the best inter
ests of home and country demand this
Uniformity.

Jefferson Davis Birthday

Speaking of the celebration of this
day in Atlanta the Constitution fur
Their says:
at is worthy of note that the OBJ
servance of the day becomes more gen.
eral as time passes.
We are reunited country now,
and the most earnest advocate of eth
er side can unite with the other in
paying tribute to the leaders and to
the men of both sides, for all fought
for what they thought was right, and
those who lost periodically abide the
arbitrament of war but with none the
less admiration for the brave leaders
they followed in those stormy years.

Burbank Garden at Berry Schools

There has been special allotment
of grounds made at Berry School for
the cultivation and propagation of the
plant productions of Luther Burbank.
A number of plants and seed which he
produced have been presented to the
school and an effort will be made to
preserve results of these intact from
other products. Mr. Burbank is &C
otlainted with this plan and has shown
his interest in presenting to Miss Ber-
ry and autographed set of books that
will be of value to those students cu1-
tivating the Burbank plots.

Kings Ransom Outdated.

When large sums are thought of in
these days, even those expended by
millionaires, racing yachts touch the
tip top, so costly has the sport become.
King George of England is one of those
honest to admit that he can never af-
tcrd to buy another yacht, indeed last
Year he expressed his doubt of even
being able to equip his old one which
has now had service of thirty years.
However by professed economy he has
been able to have the royal yacht the
Krlttania, overhauled and made ready
tor another season at the regattas
which attract millionaire sportsmen
and others in vast crowds as spectators
Perhaps he figures his personal loss
will be his country's gain and for this
should have due credit.

Amundsen's Risk

The last white man to talk with
Amundsen on his Arctic Trip and the
one who transported the airplane for
his projected last lap of the explora-
ton, says that Amundsen is fortified
with the mental reservation that should
his plane meet with n1ishap it is the
end OF all for him, and that he and
his pilot Ohmdahl will have no other
recourse thanto end their own lives
However he was very hopeful that he
may reach Spitzenbergcn on the 9th
er side of the top OF the wor1d' in
twenty hours and on this assumption
the gasoline and oil supply is limited
to this length of time while a few
sandwiches, two thermos bottles with
hot drinks and two pistols constitute
the supplies. Marker balloons are a
part OF the equipment however, that
VIII aid subsequent searching parties
should they be necessary.

Low Law Making Record

Though longer in session than is
usual the Legislature OF Nebraska which
has just ended its 1923 session has
passed low percentage of laws. Out
of 1856 bills submitted less than 200
were passed by the assembly and some
OF these we're vetoed. This compares
with Georgia's record. One law they
did pass was the eugenic law similar
to the one that Wisconsin recently re-
scinded.

highway that is soon to traverse the South anoth-
chain to bind the east and west together as Ell
tectively does the Lincoln Highway travers-
ing the upper part OF the United States and the
Dixie Highway north and south.
The Jefferson Davis Highway seems at last to
be Undertaking.. For the last few months CON
slant activity to bring it into being has been re-
ported along its line, and especially from South
Georgia This seems to have been due in great
measure to the work OF Isdor Gelders, editor of
the fitzgerald Leader, a progressive Georgian
who has done much for the development of the
state.
The meeting at Nidaa will be the climax to
succession OF mass meetings that have been held
Tor several months i'll towns along the proposed
section of the highway through Georgia from the
Ocmulgee river north and east to Augusta
This highway will run from Richmond to Vcks-

crew when their plane was taking off
Aberdeen Field as relay to Washing
ton after receiving the fruit from the
larger planes enroute from Augusta to

the other hand, strong endings are those
in which the metre is full and the line
ends in an unaccented syllable.
Shakespeare's early plays abound in
rhyming couplets and strong endings while
his later plays have few rhymes and
abound in weak endings. Thus, in "Love's
Labor's Lost" are of his earliest plays,
there are one thousand rhyming lines. As
he advanced in his art he dropped the
practice of rhymajng and in his latter plays
there is little or no rhyming. For instance,
"A Winters Tale" is among his latest
plays and has not single rhyming couplet.
In Loves Labor's Lost" there are nine
lines with weak endings but as the en-
ployment of rhyme diminished, the use of
double or weak endings increased and in a
"Winter's Tale" there are six hundred
and thirty odd lines having weak endings.
This test helps to determine the genuine
ness and to approximate the order of
priority of Shakespeare's plays

Expression, like good and evil, spiri-

terms used to designate the dual sense of
presentation in the phenomenal world in

MASKS

Rev. "Golightly" Morrill, says: A
mask is disguise. The first was used in
Eden when the serpent appeared as an
angel of light. The ancient Greeks wore
masks at the feast of Bacchus and on the
stage, and employed them to represent diff
ferent ages and types of character. Later,
in the sixteenth century, Italy used them
for comedy. I have seen savages wear
masks to scare away their enemies and
evil spirits. I have also met some civ
ilized females whose natural faces needed
no masks and were homely enough to
frighten off their friends and Satan him
self. Perhaps this was the reason why
they were never tempted and fell.
The mask disguise took entertainment
form, and was introduced from Italy to
England, and was favorite pastime with
the courts from the time of Henry VIII
and Queen Elizabeth. Of course, num-
merry and Disgusting would appeal to
kings and courts who did little else but
hoodwink their people. Milton gives US
Comus, "rare old Ben" Johnson wrote
many masques serious Bacon in his essays
refers to masque entertainments as mere
"toys," scarcely to be mentioned among
serious subjects. Yet wonder if he did
not feel that deep down all life was a
mask, from youths early love and deceit
to deaths mask; from the prologue of the
cradle to the epilogue of the coffin.
One sees masks in costumers' windows
of dogs cats, donkeys, pigs, goats, devils,
sheep, and asses, and feels they are but
reflections of the faces peering in at the
windows.
People wear masks without going to the
shop to buy them. The burglar wears
one when robbing, but not the respectable
bank president, who may be thief at
heart. Animals do not wear masks; we
know them at first sight and are guarded
against them. 1t were well for society if
men and women appeared in their real
nature and character so that innocence,
youth and virtue were not deceived and
sacrificed.
Esop tells how the fox came to the
house of the actor and found beautiful
mask. Placing his paw on the brow, he
said, "What handsome face we have
here. Pity it is that it should want brains"
A mask is hollow, painted, grotesque
mockery. Outer show is poor substitute
for inner substance. ProAigate Poppea
invented the mask to hide the beauty of
her face to add to its charm to her lover.
The world is stage, and the curtain is
da"mask," but it can not veil bad moral
character. Children wear sport masks,
only to take them off later in life and put
on worse. Masks are always in style
with the worlds changing fashion.
Life's masks are various. Beauty dis
guises beastliness of character The fool
wears. a professors cap, and the wise man
wears cap and bells. WoIfsh politicians
wear lambskin of patriotism. Philander-
ing Fausts wear masks of politeness over
hearts of pollution. The clergy often wear
the livery of heaven to serve the Devil in.
The business thief masks under the ban
ner of honesty. War prohteers hide their
greed under the banner of honesty. Ira

if it is the metre with which the ear is
most familiar. Sonnets are written in
iambic metre and usually consists of four
or FIVE feet to the line.
Tennyson's "In Memoriam" and most
of Scott's poetry, are written in this metre.
Fourfeet to the line-called tetrameter,
alternating with three feet to the line,
called trimeter, forms the most common
measure of lyric poetry. The line con-
ssting of five iambic feet; termed the
Iambic pentametsr, is called the heoric
metre and in its rhymed form it is the
metre in which Chaucer, Dryden and Pope
wrote great deal of their poetry. 1t
was Pope who perfected the iambic pen
tameter couplet. Milton, Browning, Ten
nyson and Wordsworth have employed it
with great power. The following lines
from Pope are quoted as an example.
"Truc ease in writing comes from art,
not chance,
AS tHoSc uOIC CdSICSt WIN udVC lcdIHCu
to Dance"
The iambic hexameter; that is, six feet
to the line; is called the Alexandrine
measure and Pope employs it on numer-
Gus occasions.
Trochaic verse, in which the feet con-
sists of long syllable followed by short,
gives rapid movement to the line and
in the tetrameter is the form most en-
ployed in English. Longfellow's "Hiawa-
tina" is in this metre. Edgar Allen Poe's
"The Raven, before mentioned as an ex-
ample in alliteration, is written in trochaic
octometer; that is, eight feet to the line.
In anatestic Verse, where the feet con-
sists of two short syllables followed by
long, every third syllable is accented. Here
is an example taken from Shenstone
"Not pine in my grove is there seen
But with tendrils of woodbine is bound;
Not beech's more beautiful green,
But a sweet briar twines it around"
The dactylic Verse, where the accent is
placed on the first syllable, the fourth and
so on, the feet consists of an accented syl-
liable followed by two short ones and it
is seldom found unmixed with other metres.
The dactylic hexameter was the heroic
metre of Greek and Latin poetry. Both
Homer and Virgil made use of it. In the
ancient classical poetry a spondee, or two
long syllables, could take the place of
dactyl, except in the fifth foot, which was
generally a dactyl. The sixth foot was
always a spondee. Longfellow's "Evan-
geline" is written in dactylic hexameter.
Verses are rarely constructed upon any
species of measure exclusively. They are
generally mixed. In addition to the usual
pauses in reading marked by the pune
tutation, there are also the "fiual" and "ce-
sural" pauses The final pause is a slight
suspension of the voice at the end of the
line, even when the grammatical sense
does not require it. The cesural pause is
slight suspension of the voice within the
line and generally about the middle of it.
This pause is preceded by syllable more
strongly accented than any other in the
line andthe rythm of line depends upon
the position of the cesural pause.
Verse which does not rhyme is called
blank Verse and is generally written in
iambic pentameter measure; it may be
divided into soeak and strong endings.
A line ending in an unaccented syllable
is said to have weak ending while on
