The Truth in the Looking Glass
BY Or. Frank Crane

rT~, He other day I stood in hotel lobby
looking at man. | had only a side
view Of his face. | glanced into mir
ror in front of him, however, and was sur
prised to see how different he appeared.
Have you ever noticed how strange and
unsatisfactory those pictures are in which
one is portrayed as he is, and as he is re-
Elected in a looking glass?
The fact is, when you get around to an"
other side of any person, any thing, any idea,
or any emotion, it is not the same.
The truth is never all in one mind. Each
lis limited by his standpoint. Only an om-
nipotent eye which could see all sides of
anything at once could be called truthful.
That is why travel, culture, wide reading
and all forms of experience improve the
Judgment. The youth sees more clearly per-
haps than the man, but he has not moved
about as much.
The items Of religious belief are often
much more clean-cut in narrow, provincial,
uneducated mind than in the mind of the
cultured person; but it does not follow that
the narrower vision is the truer.
AS the world is deepening in wisdom, ac-
cumulating the facts of science, tasting all
forms of literature and art, developing by
travel the cosmopolitan spirit, and altogether
growing out of provincialsm into univer-
salty, it is losing the sharpness of its for
mer secretarianism. That does not imply
| LhaC IL IS losing It's faltn.
One reason why people in medieval times
had such clear, distinct beliefs is that they
read little and travelled less They lived
| their lives out in the town where they were
born. They never saw the truth except from
one angle and naturally supposed that they
who saw it from another angle were heretics
and accursed.
Nowadays all nations and tribes are being
woven together in a mighty world-loom, of
which the railway trains and ocean liners
and telegraph messages are the shuttles
It takes the whole of humanity to reflect
/ correctly the truth of heaven. No sect
nor cult that truth it is.
should like to live hundred years from
now to see what the world-view of destiny
and morals will be, when China, India and
Japan have thoroughly mixed their ideas
4 with ours, and when out of the weller the
fittest shall survive.
Gin the Pitt Palace at Florence" says a
writer upon art, "there is statue, standing
alone in its naked beauty, in the center OF
a many-sided salon, paneled with mirrors,
in which it is reflected at once in every diff
ferent aspect, and in each, though differ
entity, yet truly, as long the mirror be
clear and unwarped. And such is truth"
Literature is such a many-sided mirror.
Slowly by the million flashes of truth
energies the yet vague conception of The
Truth, never to be grasped by one mind
comprehensive only by the vast universal
mind of man.
Not man, but mankind, can see God as
! He is.

of their qualified vote. In Georgia, South
Carolina and Mississippi the ratio of voters
to eligibility was ridiculously small
We have no figures as to the total regis
tration in Georgia, but with a population of
2,S95,S32 (1920 census) the total popular
vote of 15O,SS2 in the 1920 presidential
election was absurdly insignificant and re-
Elected no credit upon the alertness of the
people as to the significance of the election.
And the total popular vote in 1920 ex-
ceeded by thirty thousand the vote cast in
1912, and by thirteen thousand the vote of
1916
The alarming indifference of the people OF
Georgia to things political does not bear out
the criticism and complaint that is frequent
ly made that Georgia suffers from too much
politics. 1t is the other way round if any
thing. Georgians do not take enough inter-
est in politics, otherwise Georgias popular
vote would be many times as large as it is
in the presidential elections, and in state and
municipal primaries.
The blame for political indifference does
not rest entirely with the residents of our
rural districts. Indeed, there may be some
excuse for their failure to VOTE considering
portation facilities not always convenient,
but the same cannot be said of the citizens
of our cities, among them Atlanta.
The recent municipal primary in Atlanta
served to illustrate the alarming indffer-
ence of the residents of the city Fewer
than 5000 men. and women went to the
polls to participate in primary, the result
of which was equivalent to an election
Nearly twice that number were qualified
for participation, yet when they stayed away
from the polls, although duly qualified as
electors.
The city Of Denver isn't very much larger
than Atlanta, yet in Republican primary,
held in that city a few weeks ago, over
10000 voters expressed themselves, and this
despite the fact that in Denver the Repub-
icans are in the minority and the city is
governed by Democratic administra ton.
OF course, it isn't suggested that Atlanta
should turn out as many voters as Denver
but certainly there is no reason why the
vote in Denver should be three times as
great as that of Atlanta-no reason except
that our people do not take the same meas
ure Of interest In politics
In view of the Indifference of Georgians
to things political, the enthusiasm at the
recent Macon convention was all the more
significant, and 1t is to be hoped that the
interest manifested at the state convention
will be reflected in the vote next month.
Certainly the Democrats of Georgia should
cast, at minimum, over 100000 votes for
Davis and Bryan.

Getting Out the Vote

A LTHOUGH the presidential election four
~ years ago attracted to the polls nearly
100000 voters, establishing a new
high record, widespread alarm was occasion
ed because the ratio OF participants to elisi-
bles was considerably less than so per cent.
The nineteenth amendment had been rati-
fled previous to the election comforting
suffrage upon women, and there was every
reason to suppose that the popular express
sion in 1920 would approximately double
that of 1916. But nothing of the sort
Cured.
In 1916, the popular vote exceeded 49,
ofmeligibles, was considerably less, and the
disparity between actual voters and elgibles
even greater
Apparently, the women, after camoring
for the ballot, had failed to exercise it, but
as matter of fact in many states Georgia
among the number, the ratification of the
nineteenth amendment had come too late to
enable the women to qualify for participant
ing by registering in accordance with the
law.
But whatever the cause, the fact is that
the apathy was the subject of speculation,
and many conscientious citizens expressed
fear that the trend in America was toward
a condition which inevitably would result
in placing the control of the government in
the hands of relatively few people, usually
manipulated by the professional politicians.
unquestionably there is grave danger to
American institutions and popular govern
ment in indifference to election results, and
an apathetic attitude toward the issues Of
national campaigns. 1t is the duty of every
citizen to take an interest In the politics of
the country, and to record their preference
when the opportunity offers.
1t is estimated that there are at least 81.
100000 non-voters in the United States;
that is to say, there are 100000 men
and women who enjoy the qualifications for
voting, who either fail to register for elec
tions, or who, having registered, fail to
vote on election day. 1t is not difficult to
understand why many persons fail to regis
ter, but it is difficult to understand the
man or woman who having taken the "trou-
BILE" to register, fail to go to complete
solemn duty already begun.

rrur ACTRESS uI4OTTA"

T~ HE story of Lolita - Crabtree - reads
like fiction, and very surprising fic-
Il ton. Away back in the 70s, Lolita
was a prime favorite in Washington city. l
did not go to theaters often, indeed very
seldom, because l could not take small son
TO such places either to the afternoon matt
nees or to evening performances.
But Lolita made herself so popular and
the town was so wild about her and
bought tickets for a matinee and the crowd
was so great I had to stand up for great
part of the time in the aisle. She was very
captivating bright as new dollar, and kept
the crowd in a delightful roar of excitement
all the time Her critics now say she was
not a great actress when she reached the
peak Of her fame, but plain folks like my
self didn't know the difference. l thought
she had been dead and buried a long time,
when news items few weeks ago said
she had died only a few weeks since, in
Boston.
She died at seventy, an old woman and a
very rich one. She left the stage at forty
six, but she had begun acting at six She
never married, and had yeXation with
the divorce courts, a method exceedingly
common in these modern days with actors
and actresses. She made a million dollars
out of her stage career and continued to
save and reinvest until she was able to be-
queathe four millions to the disabled World
War veterans Her kinfolks seem to be dis
putting her will, however, and may break 1t.
Her relatives did little or nothing for her
in life and perhaps had little gratitude for
her personal gifts. 1t a wonderful ca
reer, and she was a self-made actress-if
there is any on record.

THE WONDERFUL GERMAN AIR VESSEL


While We ate and slept without excitement
during the eighty hours that were needed to
bring the great dirigible from the center OF
Germany to the landing place in Lakehurst,
perhaps the greatest travel feat ever record
ed in the history of the world was being
performed. At the rate of mile minute
the airship crossed the Atlantic in perfect
safety and without an accident-a straight
line from the east to the west, guided with
remarkable skill in transit and with remark
able comfort by night and by day to the
crew I can so back in memory to the hfSt
passenger train between Marthasville and
Marietta, Ga, in 1843, and how l was
thrilled, through and through, to see an en-
CINE pull two cars, passenger and freight,
crossing the Chattahoochee river on a great
trestle. afterwards a real bridge, and rolling
along in safety and comfort.
But compare the distances, and we can
perhaps comprehend the trip, nearly half
round the globe. in October, 1924, within
eighty hours, when little more than eighty
years ago the fastest railroad train IN Geor-
gia was about ten miles an hour.
