E DIT RIAL. $

We have just celebrated the hun
tredth anniversary of three instru-
mentaIitics 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 I'M
stacking Of their spirits, and the
third was the great apostle of scien-
tific freedom of thought.
Now we have added to the rail
load the telegraph, telephone, auto
mobile, airplane, moving picture and
radio; to the first liberal church the
liberalizing movements in all the
others, and to Huxley the schools,
the Scopes trial, the Associated
Press and the yellow journals. Ex-
cept for poverty, which we have not
really tackled, the only shackles left
are those of voluntary ignorance
1t has been a dizzy century 50
swift that we have not yet adjusted
our institutions to the new machine
ry nor our minds and characters to
the responsibilities of the new free
dom. This, far more than mere dis
coyery, is the task of the future.

Government Was Not
Always Geographic

1t was not always so, Govern
ment was not always geographic.
For ages, sovereignty was personal
rather than territorial; 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-territoriality, 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-
pable populations of the scrambled
corners of the earth; but unless we
can discover something more intelli-
gent than the brutality of deporta-
ton on the absurdity Of majority
rule for these regions, they will con
tinue to hatch wars for the rest of
the world
II is not beyond the wit of man
10 invent institutions that would fit
this situation. 1t may be beyond
his character to accept them.

ulations geographic.
It has even been suggested that
the negro question in America might
be solved by setting aside certain
states for black and others for
white rule, individuals of either
race to be admitted to the states of
the other only on condition of ac-
cepting whatever government and
treatment they found there. That
is simpler than thinking out form
of government in which both races
might inhabit the same territory
without either ruling the other.

reluctance of China itself to have
the issue raised beofre 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 a conference
could concede would be the expert

Supply

Not for d day or an hour has
Americus suffered from want Of
water during the past few
months, and while the unprece-
denied drought continues, there
Is no indication that our water
supply will decrease. For a few
weeks springs supplying Amer
icus with water failed to put
forth the usual volume, but
even then the flow was adequate
and no effort was made TO cur
tail its consumption In the city.
Not every city in Georgia -
and other States as well-has
been so blessed. In one city
there has been a $50 fine assess
ed against any one using city
water to sprinkle lawns or WASH
automobiles. In still another
city, water was pumped into the
pipes for only four hours a day.
The Georgia Railway and
Power company is petitioning
for an ! per cent reduction IN
Atlanta S street car service in an
effort to conserve hydro-electric
power. An official Of that COM
pany states that if the drought
continues six weeks longer by
dro-elEctric service must be
abandoned if the present load
on its high-tension wires is con-
tinued.
Nathan Murray, chairman of
the water committee, states that
the flow from the springs has in
creased materially in the last
few days and no uneasiness was
felt regarding a sufficient vol
ume Of water.
That s something to be really
thankful for. Americas is pc
cuHarly blessed with a plenti-
full volume of water, of the
purest and coolest in the State.
Her water is one of the city s
finest assets. Plenty of water
in the dryest and hottest Of
years is a record to be proud or
and thankful for.
The heat this summer has
been terrific over the entire
country. What would have
been the suffering if there he'd
not been plenty of pure cold

The Oil Leases

Senator Thomas J. Walsh IS
freely predicting that the higher
court will reverse Federal Judge
Kennedy ruling N the Teapot
Dome case and viii decide it
in favor Of the government.
He declares the case is paral-
lei 10 the Eik Hills case, which
the government won, and that
both should be decided the same
way,
He may or may not be right
in bis prediction. But here's a
thing 10 keep in mind:
Both of these cases will come
UP for review by higher courts,
and neither case can be said to
have been settled yet. So it
might be well to reserve all
comment about the victory OF
one side or the 'exoneration OF
another until the two decisions
have been passed on finally.
