We have just celebrated the hun
dredth anniversary Of three inStru-
mentalities Of liberation-the rail
roads, the Unitarian church and
Thomas II. Huxley. The first set
loose the bodies and goods Of men;
the second was the first organized
American institution for the un-
Stacking Of their spirits, and the
third was the great apostle Of scien-
tific freedom of thought.
Now We have added to the rail
road the telegraph, telephone, auto
mobile, a!rplane. moving picture and
radio; to the first liberal church
the liberal!Zing movements in all
the others, and TO Huxley the
schools, the Scopes trial. the Asso-
ciated Press and the yellow Jour
nails. Except for poverty, which we
have not really tackled, the only
shackles left are those Of voluntary
ignorance.
1t has been dizzy century--so
swift that we have not yet djusted
our institutions to the new machin-
cry nor our minds and characters
to the RESPONSIBILITIES Of the new
freedom. This. far more tian mere
discovery, is the task Of the future
Men Must Be Adjusted

and violence is easier than think
ing, we are more ready to deport
racial or national minorities than
to devise some way of living with
them.
Men must be adjusted to institu-
tons rather than institutions to
men. Like Procrustes Of old. if our
guest does not fit our bed we cut off
or stretch his legs until he does, or
else, as in these recent instances,
throw him out altogether.
Changing the bed itself does not
occur TO us. If our minds can not
contain the idea that institutions
might be other than geographic.
then we may have to make our pop
ulatlons geographic.

ever government and treatment they
found there. That is simpler than
thinking out 4 form Of government
in which both races might inhahit
the same territory without either
ruling the other.
Government Was Not
Always Geographic
1t was not always so. Govern
ment was not always geographic.
For ages, sovereignty was personal
rather than terrtorial; it extended
to certain individuals. rather than
over certain space. Each man,
wherever found, was subject to the
rule and judged by the law of his
own sovereign.
The principle still survives, in our
claim Of extra-territ oriality, in back
ward countries. An American citi-
zen, in China. is still tried there by
American judges, under American
laws. 1t is doubtless too late to re-
vive this principle for the unmap-
paLle populations of the scrambled
corners Of the earth; but unless we
can discover something more intelli-
ton or the absurdity of majority
tinue to hatch wars for the rest of
the world.
1t is not beyond the wit Of man
to invent institutions that would fit
this situation. 1t may be beyond his
character to accept them.
Conference Would Be
Only an Experiment
If we finally do hold that confer
ence on Chinese extra-territoriality,
as promised by the four-power
treaty, it is only just to remember
that the delay is due largely to the
reluctance Of China itself to have
the issue raised before it was pre-
pared to meet it.
We have agreed that our nation
ais shall be subject to Chinese law,
administered by Chinese courts,
whenever China provides modern
laws and courts to do it. Such
courts, it is claimed, have now been
established in the principal cities.
No one pretends that they yet exist
elsewhere.
The utmost that conference
could concede would be the expert
ment Of Chinese jurisdiction for GER
tain cases in few cities. The rest
must grow.

The Value of an Education.
Bv Charles owens, Dawson, Ga.

| Finishing the education is no doubt a sore
subject in many homes, and sometimes caus-
es such turmoil as to end by the younger
debater stopping school and taking some
minor position which will do he or she no
good whatever i'll later life, but only tend
to increase the amount OF their spending
money for the time.
Young people, how MANI OF you have gone
through those stages in school life when the
whole world seemed black because you failed
to study and did not receive marks to be
proud Of?
Discomfort with school comes in almost
every young persons lie. This discomfort IS
usually caused by three or four things, and
generally occurs among boys more than
girls.
The boys have positions which supply
them with money; they hold Jobs through the
summer months, and can't possibly see how
they can get along without the money they
are so used to spending. They seem to think
that the few luxuries supplied by the money
they make during the time they should be
taking advantage of finishing their education
will more than balance the scales in their
favor
There are some young people who are so
vain as to think they know more than the
teachers and so do not go to school but re-
tain Jobs at small salaries, expecting to rise
to fame This class OF people are to be
pitied along with some who think they can
make great success as business man or
woman without the advantage OF an educa-
ton. They are wrong. Statistics show that
the average man who goes through grammar
school and does not take advantage OF the
high school course but does finally amount
to something in business earns only S4S,-
600 during his entire life time Whereas, the
high school graduate earns $4,000 and the
college graduate who has prepared himself
for lies hardest battles can readily earn
living for himself or his family and earns on
an average $150000 during his life time.
1t stands to reason that in the next few
years only educated men will be in demand
for even the lowest paid positions. Are you
giving yourself square deal? Ii not, why?
Boys and girls, you owe it to your fathers
and mothers who have sacrificed much, en-
deavorng to prepare you for your long soll-
tary vigil in the outside world known as the
Business World"
Remember that only through hard work
will your highest ambitions be realized but
an education will fit you for your place i'll
the world and your burden will be greatly
lghtened
With the numerous self-help positions Of
fered at all the colleges in Georgia no young
person has an excuse for not attending col
ege, as these positions will enable them to
go through college and they will then be
ready to embark on ife's hardest journey,
which, when trod in the right way and flank
ed on all sides by hard work and backed by
an education, only lead to success.

Some Hard, Hard Riders.

Addressing a Baptist convention in one of
the western states Rev. Earl V. Pierce told
the ministers that the people of the United
States get a hobby or a word and ride it
to death" The Americans have been hard
riders for years of hobbies, fad, fancies and
the like, and it would be cause Of intense
qualification of some jouster like the Rev.
Mr.. Pierce could unseat some of them.
Rev. Mr.. Pierce referred to the Baptists
employment of the word Challenge" in de-
scribing their missionary work. He objected
to it because it had been overworked. Ex
pressve terms frequently become bromide
for the simple reason that as a mass people
are content to follow in adopting so-called
smart expressions just to prove that they are
quite up-to-date.
The News feels a quick interest in Rev.
Mr. Pierce's criticism OF this hard riding
habit of the American people. A good many
seem to fear that they will not be consd-
cred the cats pajamas, for example, unless
they display nonchalance that comes from
familiarity with that which is newest. They

Those Terrell County Boys.
From the Atlanta Journal.

Speaking of achievements, The Iourna
doffs its chapeau twenty times to the twenty
Terrell county boys, each of whom produced
more than a bale OF cotton to the acre, at al
average cost of seven and half cents Z
pound. The winner of the first prize, John B
Wall, jr, is credited with having raised or
one acre eight hundred and twenty eight
pounds OF lint cotton, or more than three
hundred pounds in excess OF the standard
bale; while Bernard Bell followed close with
record OF seven hundred and eighty pounds
OF lint 1t was Atlanta's privilege to have

One Farmers Experience.

From a letter contributed to the Petaluma,
Calf, Courier we take this excerpt: The
necessity for immediate attention on the part
of the farmers OF this county to matters per-
tanning to taxation is we'll shown by the wri-
ter's own case. His tax rate has increased 2l7
per cent within the last 10 years (from SOP
for purposes other than state to $6.40 propos-
ed 1925-1926). Applying Babson's formula
this means a conhscation Of value of the land
OF nearly $40 per acre"
Commenting on the above the San Fran
cisco Bulletin says; This experience is not
exceptional Every other land owner in Cal
ifornia is similarly burdened. 1t is not only
an unpleasant but an alarming fact that the
tax bill OF California more than consumes the
combined values Of our agricultural and hor-
ticutural products"
1t is safe to say that the experience OF
this California farmer is not different from
the experience OF farmers in many other
states. 1t is rapidly approaching that condi-
tion here in Georgia.

Making Our Own Meat.
From the Savannah News.

One of the greatest needs of Georgia today
is to take up the campaign which was well
under way three or four years ago to make
in Georgia all the meat that Georgians ought
to eat. Several years ago the slogan OF the
state was hog for every citizen OF the
state young and old" The pig census once
showed steady progress toward that goal.
And then there was a decline The Triton
Gazette points out:
According to the annual report of the state
veterinarian Georgia imported last year 49,,
032,252 pounds of meats and meat food prod
ucts That doesn't sound much like Georgia
feeding itself, does it? The same authority
says that the indications are that the imports
for this year will exceed that amount. Geor-
gia will never be prosperous as long as our
smokehouses and corn cribs are across the
border"
These figures are not entirely complete, for
they do not indicate the 'poundage" of hog
meat that was raised in Georgia sold and
sent out of the state That item, however
is hardly large enough to reduce the problem
to point OF triviality. Georgia does not
raise anything like. the amount of meat she
consumes. Some other states raise Georgia
meat for her. And this is true: that these 9TH
er states cannot raise meat as cheaply as
Georgia can raise it. Isn't it the part of eco
nomic wisdom to increase the hog raising
business on Georgia farms?

Prom the FITZGERALD Herald.

Perhaps the most important event in the
world is now occurring so quietly that not
much has been said about it. France is march
ing out of the Ruhr. Slowly, unobtrusively.
French troops are Withdrawing from city at
ter city in the great industrial area which
dominates German business life.
The French went into those cities with a
flourish of trumpets and blare of drums, not
to mention President Poincare's oratory.
They emerge silent. The Germans them
selves have been rather silent, hardly belev-
ing what they see, and fearing by some
tactless word to mar their good fortune.
Here is proof that France, today the
strongest military power in Europe, with the
worlds finest army in her hands, lately fear
ed as a second Prussia, is turning again to
pacihst policy under leadership wiser than
Poncares. Here is proof that Germany is
carrying out her pledges at last, and France
is content with performance. The two pow
ers that have most disturbed the world for
decade-hrst Germany and then France
both seem to be yielding to common sense
and substituting cooperation for warfare
This is infinitely better for both and better
for France and all the world.

Time and Styles Change.
From the Monroe Advertiser.

A hundred years ago our great-great-
grandfathers wore knee breecheS and
silk stockings, and our great-great-gran
mothers wore their skirts to the floor.
Today the mere boy wears long pants
while his mothers skirts barely go below
the knee exposing as much or more of
her anatomy than men did a hundred
years ago-and gets away with it all.
To add to the wonders of revolution
many mothers wear jazz carriers, some
roll their hose, and few paint their
legs. All Of them protest modesty, and
demand the same respect that was &C
corded their igreat-great grandmothers.
How long they can do so is a question.
