A colg n Aihevllla built upon foundation broad enough to aupport a grea. university. I. A greater Summer School, with cur riculum arranged to give vocational training In art and Industrie. What iwn for a nation in thla respect, goea for an individual. Th- aentleman who firat r: ri-utsted the rxul'an' t Hfmul llit coi e.item y . J-wel. npplaudlng hie ow tiil)lornr. He felt the need of popularlain hl Inability to rhan(i hia befuddled mind The Nw EnBland eayi(it who called foolia con.'leiency a hobgoblin upoke a much ibrewd "i- .Ine The politician who think "being con Lcinl" 1 mure admirable than eeaing lb truth, i the one who rtaya at home when 1 wanta te i u Congre.

"Because of thla rare capacity to ae itralght about neraelf," a ay Tha Telegraph, "England haa been able to recognize the virtu and tha trength of tha poaltion of those who differed from her." That, too, appllea to the Individual There la no sadder eight than the man who tuns hia head against the stona wall of hi, t conviction that he I alwaya right and tha oh rr man alwaya wrong. Oet Into that mental h.iblt. and your chance of auccea reduces It self to a far, faint and vanishing point. The way England haa made progress and kept herself on top la the way the American of today can accomplish the same nd. Tha recipe for success la plain aa day: keep your curoalty alive, flood your mind with new facta, perceive that changing conditions make new adjustments necessary. The man who never changes his mind aeldom Improves hia lot. Tha "bravo acknowledgement of mistake" la proof of a' great capacity for self-Improvement. , . A Noble Massacre -, There la balm again in Gllead! A few days '" ago, throwing wide the alulce-gates of our con- tempt, we animadverted with' gleek and Jibe upon the "language snobs." those pathetic pre ' tenders who strive to hide their lack of culture behind a smokescreen of foreign plurals and phrase; In brief, such dolts and hodheads a aay "ignoraml" for "Ignoramuses" and "form ulac" for "formulas." 81nce then their un ; learned ranks have been acceptably, not to say ' delightfully, thinned, shelled and decimated. A : no We and high-minded massacre has been i ... - committed without mercy but wlth Incompar . able ' discrimination to the everlasting honor s and glory of good English and intelligent ex f pression. i Assembled In convention, In the city of Bt. s ! Louis the National Stewards' Association has 1 voted to eliminated French and other foreign 5 -word from restaurant bills of fare. According to this far-reaching decision of the cooks and servitors, "beef and gravy" Is no longer to be nicknamed "rosblf au jus;" the bracing "small cup of black coffee" is to come from behind I's disguise of "cafe noir en demltasae," and the grand old "hash"' shall never again be labeled "Hungarian goulash." Above the clatter of a t thousand kitchens and through the hubbub of tinkling sliver and clashing china In ten thousand diningrooms, pure and redounding t English will make known the wlhes of the if consumer of food. i Tnus are the "language snobs" nobly massa- cred and estlmably decimated. It was from i the outbursts of the cooks and the Italics of ( tho bills of fare that many of them, while satis ' tying their appetites, filled their minds with I high-sounding stores of foreign phraties, later r to sprinkle them, -liko. a saure for comprehen I slon, through the devious channels of tholr conversation. But, now that the lore of the J larder can no longer be paraded a the learning of linguists, "languagu snobbery" will dwindle and fade. Much of US supply Is cut off at the f J' source. The remainder of It consists of rc 4 inembered bits of childish struggles with Creek ' roots and French verbs, obviously a slender j volume. The cooks and stewards have, m-ule a killing. ; ; i If the Republicans don't soon find out t what'a going on In politics they'll soon find thru Viey are what's going out of politics. More About Dr. Abrams In connection with The Citlxen's criticism cf the Rockefeller Institute for alleged refusal to Investigate the methods of diagnoala devel oped by Dr. Albert Abrams, a letter published In a recent issue of The Journal of the Ameri can Medical Association presents testimony which should also be given Its day In court. In 1917 Dr. Hyman and Dr. Reed of San Francisco, one the editor of The California State Journal of Medicine, the other a member of the State Medical Society's Publication Com mittee, state that they proposed to Dr. Abrams a clinical inquiry into the results of hia blood tests. Two hundred patients were to be sub mitted to the Investigation .under conditions which, to a layman, seem fair. Dr. Hyman and Dr. Reed aay that Dr. Abrams "refused fiatfootedly in any way to co-operate In such an Investigation." 1 According to an editorial In The American Journal, Dr. Abrams claims not only to diag nose from a ifrop of blood, by means of his "electronic reactions," but that he can sub stitut the autograph of men dead these many doendes and determine whether they suffered from a given disease! This aounds as weird as anything in spiritualism. By such methods Dr. Abrams Is represented as deriving "the reaction of dipsomania" from Edgar Poe's autograph. This latter discovery should be of particular interest to Henry Ford In his efforts to over come weakness for alcoholic beverages among his employes; It should, also be a valuable In strument In the hands of the officials charged with enforcement of the prohibition laws. Not even u solitary dipsomaniac could escape de tccticn with such experts In chirography on their trail as Dr. Abrams is said to be. There fore it would seem that the Department of Justice would be justified In compelling Dr, Aiirams to submit to Investigation, the Govern nienl'.f intervention being warranted under the welfare clauses of the Constitution. The only point The Citizen wished to make with regard to these medical disputations Is that, If Dr. Abrams has any discoveries, real or imnf?inary, which he desires to be sifted by m e, he should be accommodated. Bankers Tired Of Aloofness The trend of American sentiment toward larger participation of the United Btate In the affair of Europe la now unmistakably evidenc ed by a body of American business men whose testimony cannot be pooh-poohed. When the American Hankers' Association speaks out for a policy, no supporter of things ss they are will aay that sentiment has dethroned common sense, that Idealism is soaring as usual far above the selid earth where stubborn facts must be met and dealt with When Thomas W. T-amont suggested that thl country must, for Its own sake and the sake of the world, be less selfish In lla Euro pean policy, ten thousand delegates cheered the proposition. Mr. Iimont's proposal was supported by President McAdiims of the Hank en' Association, Myron T. llerrlck. Ambas sador to France, and other men of national Influence. Where 'could he found a body of men bet ter qualified to expreaa Judgment on the for eign policies of the present Administration? Other j may speculate on the general economic effects of aloofness, but the bankers 'either know what's the matter with business or there I no trustworthy wsy by which the country can find out There wa no suggestion- of American poli tical action In Europe. Mr. Lamont waa dis cussing financial co-operation, but the bankers recognise that America' economic relation ship to the Old World Inevitably carries with It direct or indirect power to affect the politics of the nations. The bankers are not glvln Indorsement to any auper-government by the United States over Europe, but they brand American selfishness as bsd business, to say the least of it, for America and tor the world , - PROCEEDINGS i...

The right of criticism eftea Includes the of right 4 Mrs. Felton, Senator So many Georgia men are ambitious to ivear the t6ga of the late Senator Watson that no woman will be more than his temporary successor. Nevertheless It is a remarkable li ibulc to the acceptance of woman as a politi cal factor In the United States that Mrs. W. H. Felton Is appointed by Governor Hardwlck as a Georgia Senator until the elections shall have settled the rivalry among the masculine as pirants. This honor to Mrs. Felto'n. conferred by conservative Southern Democrats, la not only a deserved recognition to a capable and publlc dpli lted woman, but It will be encouragement to ell women in the South .to take that part In politics which Is both a duty and a privilege. Mrs. Felton Is the firs,t woman in the country to have her name recorded In the membership of thle great deliberative assembly, but the fact that a woman haa been thus selected so soon after 'woman auffrage was adopted is evidence enough' that she will not be the last. - ' " . : One trouble with the world la that o many statesmen are mea rl aflo ol em the golf Militarism Not Dead Compulsory military service Is re-establish ed in Russia; all male citizens between the ages of twenty and forty are liable to service The Baltic fleet 1 holding its first maneuvres since the Russian revolution. It should be said that the conscription pla ha been under conatderatlon for montha and Is not to be taken as Russia's reaction to near war condition In the region of Constantinople Likewise it may be mentioned that no one eed be alarmed oVer the size or effectiveness of tho present Russian fleet. But nevertheless the world has noticed that the Russian bear must still be reckoned with whenever states men take counsel with regard to the peace of the world. Kuasla haa lately been telling' the Allies tha the Near Eastern questions will not be settled permanently if the Russian Interest In them Is disregarded. For decades Russia haa cast . ' i longing eyes towards Constantinople. The prize as been almost within her grasp to be taken nvvay from her by the powers now seeking to readjust a lost balance of power. Russia, with swarming millions that are ne material 'for a military machine; Turkey flushed with military success; Oreece smarting under prospective loss of territory she claims as rart of the homeland; Germany, keen for revenge; ' France, Italy and England divided America isolated here are the Ingredients for another explosion of war. And what are the nations doing to keep sparks from falling Into these powder magazines? ' . . . 1 he Avery's Creek fair In many respects makes a new record for such events In Bun combe, it auspiciously opens the fair season. The people of that section have worked with diligence to achieve excellence and they de serve the satisfaction that waa theirs when on Tuesday they heard the praise of agricultural experts and laymen. These township exhibi tions of what can be done in farming and In hotnehold arts are promote of worthy ambi tion; they serve also to bring the various sec tions of the county closer together socially and commercially. t ; There begin to be evidences that the Re publicans, having built that high tariff wall, hate to stand on It for Democrats to ehoot at The Scissors Route STAY-AT-HOME GHOSTS ARISE.

The Turka at first showed apathy with regard to tha details of the ad ministration of Thrace until they had tested the sincerity nf the allies' desire to restore Thrace to them, it was then pointed out that restora tion dependt-d upon the acceptance by the Turks of the Joint allien nn? from Parla.

General Harrington raised from the begInning the question of the Straits and the concentration of Turkish troops. Ismet Pasha replied that the Turks had no intention of creating Incidents with England and that orders to avoid Incidents had been given and had been repeated. Tha question nf Thrace waa than taken un and for two hours ' Ismet explained the Turkish position. He submitted various documents dealing with alleged excesses by the (.reeks In Thrace. Oeneral Harrington de clared that' h considered the charges unfounded. Ismet then said Turkey could not accept any condition nor any con ference until assured of tha fate of Thrace and, shove all, of the situa tion of the Turks In that region. "Thanks to the moderation of (Jen- erals ('harpy and Mombelll and tha conciliatory attitude of General Har rington' the account continues, "the conference arose at 8:20 o'clock, leaving In general a most satisfactory impression."
