There S a Solution for
Every Problem

You would die within a mat
ter of minutes if bitten by a
cobra, the most deadly of ser
penis. This hooded snake kills
thousands Of people a year in
India alone.
Doctors for centuries have
sought remedy that would
counteract the cobras poison.
They have not found it.
And yet there is remedy, wait
ing to be discovered.
You've heard OF the mon
goose, about the size of a fer
ret. 1t fearlessly attacks and
kills the cobra Occasionally it
is bitten. Die? No. 1t dashes
into the jungle, obtains come
thing that counteracts cobra
venom-probably plant-and
returns as if it had never been
victim.
The mongoose by instinct
knows the remedy.
That remedy awaits discov-
cry by man.
The solution of every prob
lem lies waiting in nature. Ma
ture has a balance for every
thing-a cure for every disease,
a remedy for every poison. It's
all by the basic law that for ev-
cry action there is an equiva-
lent reaction.
The very existence of a prob
lem means that solution of the
problem exists.
There is no problem without
solution. no barrier that cam
not be climbed, no handicap or
obstacle that cannot be over
come.
Obviously, it is foolish for us
to allow ourselves to be dis
couraged. There is way out of
all trouble-if we will only fight
dcggedly to find it.
All Of mans discoveries and
progress are nothing more than
copying and adapting things
and principles that already exist
in nature. The principle of the
steam engine is the principle of
the erupting volcano. The flying
machine is a copy of birds and
insects.
knowledge is simply the dis
covery of what already exists in
nature-the, application of basic
principles of our needs. The
wasp was the original paper
maker. The bee building its
honeycomb and the beaver con
structing his dam utilize about
the same structural principles as.
man. The spiders web furnish
es the idea for fish net.
The list is endless. We Gre
ate nothing in the way Of know
ledge. We simply discover and
apply things that already exist
in nature. Lucky is the man
who lives close to nature, for she
trains him to think straight.

Women In Politics

The national womens party
has decided that there should
be more women in Congress. No
particular reasons are advanced
in support of such a proposition
except that England and Ger
many have more women legis-
lators than we, and that we
need the women's point of
view in our lawmaking.
Right here is where the wom-
en- S party indicates its complete
lack of knowledge of what is
meant by public service and in
tended by the Acknowledgement
clause.
No woman should be elect
ed to any Legislative, judicial
or executive place merely be-
cause she is a woman. No man
should be elected because he is
a man. 1t ism matter of sex,
but it is a matter of reputed or
real capacity to serve the pub
lie regardless of skirt or pants.
Nor is the women point of
view important.
Legislation involves ri g h t
against wrong, the need of good
against evil. of benefit to the
whole country as against the
reverse, There can be no dis
tinctive or exclusive point of
view among women as women in
such cases any more than among
men, and there never will be.
Always, in matter of official
life-in politics-women must
work and think and vote just as
. men do, and be divided by their
varying mental attitudes Just as
men. 1t is impossible for them,
as it is for men, to be always in
agreement on all subjects and
they cannot make the public
service a matter of one gender
alone. The sex alignment or at
titude gets its advocates and
sponsors nowhere at all.
Neither is it true that legisla-

LIKE OLD TIMES.

Cotton is rolling into all the
South Georgia markets these
days, an din some towns it looks
like old times to a great extent.
Cotton is a good crop and ought
never to be abandoned, although
the acreage should be limited and
1t should be well cultivated and
poisoned. The crop is going to
be worth a good deal to Georgia
this year. It's good effects will
be felt in nearly every county
where it was planted. This has
been a good year for it, although
the boil weevil has been active
in this section this month.-Adei

improved by the mere presence
of women therein, for all wom-

competent. Something far
more potent than that is need
ed, as, for instance, intelligence,
character and the capacity for
great and wise service. Only by
and through such attributes is
officialdom made better. Trick
of nature or mode of dress have
nothing to do with it.
There is big place in poll
tics and the civil service for
women, but they will never at
tain it if they insist on capitaliz-

Localized NEGLIGENCE.

There are entirely TOO many
aeroplane accidents. Every day
the newspapers tell of another
and the toll of life, in proportion
to the ships in the air, IS as great
on, apparently, as five or SIX
years ago when flying was almost
in its infancy.
And there is an outstanding
reason and one that ought to be
remedied. 1t is the same reason
that causes more automobile ac-
cidents than any other, unless it
is intoxication.
1t is the failure of the govern
ment to require a pilot to have Z
license and to pass a rigid exami-
nation before legally qualifying
for a license.
To illustrate, three people
were killed Sunday in Long Is
land The pilot had only been
flying a comparatively short
time and knew nothing Of the
science and mechanism of high
powered motors.
The government should demand
of the pilot who carries a shio

that it requires of the captain
who takes a ship to sea.

INFLATED

Among other things, many farm
ers are the victims of land specu-
lation-trying to earn a fair rate
of profit on land bought at too high
prices during postwar speculation.
Industry did the same, only on a
gigantic scale. Most businesses in
flated their capitalization, by stock
dividends chiefly, to dodge the tax
collector, They've been trying to
earn the old-time rate of return on
more capitalization than they are
economically entitled to.
COMING
Inflated prices have been reduced
considerably. There'll be more 1e-
duction, by waves or cycles, as the
years slip by.

Gle in industry will be defation of
capitalization. Already It's becom-
