MY FAVORITE STORIES
BV Irving s. Cobb

This is good story and 1 prove it.
AS nearly as can be ascertained, the incl
dent actually occurred in certain Southern
city. An account of it was dressed up as
an anecdote and found it's way into one of
the monthly magazines, then, Immediately
at least two musical comedy comedians
adopted it with telling results. After that
it worked its way into vaudeville. At last
accounts six separate monologists were tell
ing it and three song-and- dance nd-patter
teams--or hooters and spoilers, as they are
known in the profession-had worked it
into their acts.
When joke gets on the stage so quickly
as that and stays there all season, it just
naturally has to be good.
Here is the yarn:
colOred woman, large and very dark as
to complexion, is brought to a hospital. She
has just been run over by careless auto
mobilist. She is unconscious she ig lifted
out of the ambulance, but RECEIVERS her
senses on the way to the operating room
AS her eyes roll about her the officiating
surgeon bends over her and seeks to com
fort her.
Now now, Auntie, there's nothing to
worry about" he says, soothingly. I'm fact

IdlenesS the Mother of Progress
Bv DR.. Frank Crane

DIENESS is the mother Of progress. So
long as men were busy they had no
time to think of lettering their condi-
ton.
when men had leisure from the chase that
they decorated the handles of their hunt
ing knives and the walls Of their cave
dwellings
Idleness is the mother Of religion. 1t is
in the relax and rebound from toll that
men think of God.
We talk of all mems right to work. There
is deeper right than that. 1t is the
right to idleness. is4
The value of what we put upon the page
of life depends upon the width OF the
margin
The great. useful, redeeming and lasting
work Of the world is that work which is
reaction from idleness. The continent or
labor is barren. 1t is the little Island OF
labor that is green and fruitful In the sea
Of leisure
The curse of America is it's dedication OF
labor. Our little gods are the men who
are ceasel essly forthputting.
Most Of all we defy capital which never
rests but goes on producing day and night
We are so occupied in getting ready to-
live that we have lost the art of living.
With us man is a fool if he sets about
to enjoy himself before he has laid up
fortune. We count the woman happy when,
she has married money, and the child ac-
cursed when he has no inheritance. y!
Every morning we arise from our beds
and charge boOd-thrsty into the struggle.
We all do it. millionaires and paupers In
his office the trust magnate sits at his
scheming until his nerves 1oosed, his
arteries hardened and his soul caked. The
slaves of Rome never worked so hard as
many of our laborers in mines and factories
"After the Semitic fashion" says Remy
de Goncourt, "you make even the women
work. Rich and poor, all alike, you know
nothing of the joys OF leisure
There ought to be two leisure classes,
yea three; all children under twenty-one,
all women. and all men over sixty.
The work of the world could be easily
done by males between the ages Of twenty
one and sixty. To accomplish this, all that
is needed is to abolish militarjSm. that IN
sane burden Of men in likeness abolish an
piled up wealth units that keep husky
males voorhees,, and abolish our absurd
worship Of activity.
Then there would be plenty Of work for
every man to keep him from want, and
plenty Of leisure for every man to preserve
in him a living soul.
If 7 were czar Of the world no woman
should work except she might elect for
her amusement; no child should do ought
but play.

Markets for Georgia Tobacco

rIHE tremendous impulse given to tobac-
CO growing by the enterprising farm
ers of south Georgia this year will
undoubtedly result ina yield of double the
size in 1925 and like increase in 1925
1t is a crop that dovetais well with both
cotton and corn and possesses the advantage
of coming into market earlier than either
and at a time when money is most needed
on the farm. When the state is covered by
the new industry, if the experience of sister
states may be relied on, Georgia will necessa-
rily develop at least two great centers for
selling handling and storing her tobacco
crop. Not always will it be advisable to
sell the tobacco crop on the day of it's ar
rival in the market, and the time will soon
arrive when what seems ample in the
way of facilities of handling will become
has apparently more than a million dollars
invested in her tobacco warehouses and
sales rooms, and the tobacco auctions are
notable events. The Georgia cities that win
in the inevitable competition for the to-
bacco crop will secure a prize of great
value. Chambers of Commerce should begin
to figure on this matter at once 1t is
going to be the early bird that catches the
tobacco worm. Moreover, II cooperate
marketing has profted the cotton grow
er, it will certainly do as much for the to-

agencies and efforts which were inaugu-
rated three years ago in the interest of world
peace Mr. Davis draws the issue precisely
when he says:
CAS- an American am gratihed by the fact
that American citizens have had their share
in the latest effort to solve the economic
difficulties of Europe. Every man of good
will must hope that the Dawes report points
the way to better days not only for our
neighbors across the seas but for ourselves
at home. But l do not understand upon
what theory 1t can be claimed as triumph
for an administration which expressly and
publicly disclaimed in advance all RESPONSE
bility, direct or indirect for the action of
those concerned; nor can [ fail to remember
the long and dreary years since the war dur
ing which the appeal of Europe for nothing
more than our counsel fell upon deaf ears
What might we not have done had we but
dared to do! If even the request made by
President Wilson to congress in 1919 for the
appointment of an official representative of
America on the reparation commission had
been complied with, the last five years would
have presented a different picture and the
world would have been so much nearer to
it's goal
The Seagirt speech Of the Democratic
leader is light to those who would know
the truth; but to those who have betrayed
the country's trust, it falls like searching
thunderbolt. 1t is so simple that the low
Hest of toilers can understand 1t; so relent-
less in its logic and It's facts that the high
est of involved officials we'll may tremble.
Touching the right of religious freedom
which is guaranteed by the constitution and
which has been unfailingly asserted by the
Democratic party from the days of Jefferson
on Mr.. Davis declared it to be 1.-The solemn
tons to oppose any challenge, organized or
unorganized, of this sacred doctrine, under
whatever name or in whatever character it
might appear" Bigotry, intolerance and
persecution are as alien to American ideals
as is tyranny of any type. This is incon-
testab1y true. Quite properly, therefore, does
Mr.. Davis express the hope that 1.-The nomi-
nee Of the Republican party will see fit by
some explicit declaration to join in entirely
removing this topic from the field of political
debate"
Evading no issue, fearing no consequence,
is a trumpet call to Americans of all parties
who stand for honest and for liberal govern
ment, for justice and freedom and truth.

Davis Dra1Os the Issues, and
Drives Home the Truth

-HE same vigor and straightforwardness,
the same trenchancy and human
heartedness that marked John w.
Davis memorable speech in the West Vir-
address from Seagirt, New Jersey. 1t was
at Seagirt, on a midsummers day twelve
years ago, that Woodrow Wilson received
word of his choice as Democracy's leader for
a march that was to make heroic history.
Recalling the great era which ensued, Mr.
Davis touched briefly upon It's achievements
the scourging out of the lobbyists and cor
ruptionists then infesting the capitol, the en-
actment OF a tariff law fair alike to industry
ing of monopoly, the vouchsafing of labor's
rights, the setting up of banking and cur
rency system which served business as
tower of strength when the tempest of a
World war broke the guidance of America
through the fires of that conflict when JUS
tice and conscience at length forced her in;
the decisive blows against Prussianism, the
foundations laid for lasting peace and good
will OF the noble leader who fell at last
can touch him now no more forever, but the
thoughts to which he gave utterance and the
ideals he proclaimed will live long after
those who opposed them have passed and
been forgotten
Against the background of those shining
and fruitful years stands another and a
darkly different record. Its reactionism Is
not to be denied, its corruption not to be
concealed, its responsibility not to be escaped
John w. Davis for advocate. Vast reserves
of oil, belonging to the government and
needed for the navy in case of crisis, were
bartered away to private interests by BRIDE
taking secretary OF the interior. Hundreds
OF millions of dollars OF treasury funds,
drawn from the pockets of taxpayers
and set apart for the relief of our
disabled World war soldiers, were squan-
dered and stolen by incompetents and
thieves in the veterans bureau. The great
office of attorney general was placed in an
entangling alliance with crooks and bootleg
gers and bribe-seekers. These base wrongs
and the rest of the shameful disclosures are
too we'll known to need recounting; but pom
der this important fact which Mr.. Davis
drives home: Those at whose door these
charges were laid were not mere underlings
They were responsible officers of great po-
litical party, put by it in places of high
power. They were but one removed from
the head of that party himself. What they
did or failed to do not justly be omitted
when the record of that party is reviewed ,
If the Republican regime can not evade
this condemning record, neither can 1t lay

A. Mohammed commanded them to do So
lest their hair be temptation to men
Q. How can snakes be charmed by music
since they have no ears? D. o. C.
A. Snakes have no external ears, but a
complicated internal apparatus exists so that
snakes hear we'll and are affected by musical
sounds. Certain feats of the snake charmer
depend upon knowledge of the nature and
peculiarities Of the reptile. Many species
like music; to the sound OF the flute they
will rise and sway the upper part of the body
which rests upon the spiral formed by the
lower half. The asp has no external ear
and is deaf to whistling or the sound Of the
pipe, but its glance be attracted to
moving object and it will follow the rhyth-
mcal movement. The Oriental snake charm
er is reputed to have the power of removing
serpents from the vicinity of houses by lur-
ing them out OF their holes by magic words
and music.
