UNFORTUNATE DECISIONS.
decision of Solicitor Long to al-
IqW .'Lpc MeHacgue to get away with
a mansltonghter charge was unfortu
nate, to put it' mildly. His decision
was not more unfortunate.
than the sentence of Judge Webb.
Sheriff Propst was endeavoring to
carry out his duty as an officer of tbe
law when he was shot down by Me-
Hargue. It may have been that the
State could not prove malicious intent
to show that Macllurgue had started
out with the intent to kill the Deputy
Sheriff. but that does not get around t
tie fact that MacHnrgue shot to kill I
even after lie had been told to sur
render by the officers and after he saw
the officers with drawn guns on him.
Is the State willing to say that the
shootitig was more or less of an acci
dent? %>r that Mr. Propst was kill
ed while MacHargtie was shooting at
someone else?
The sentence is a bad example to set
before other )>eople who may hold a
grudge against officers. What would the
average man care for two years in the
State penitentiary if he could get even
with some officer? We are not inti
niating that MucHarguc lmd anything
against Mr. Propst. but if he can get
off with two years after shooting down
ip cold blood ail officer in tbe perform
ance of his duty certain criminals
might lie led to believe that they could
escape with a sentence equally as light.
Officers have none too much protec
tion when they are backed with the full,
power of the courts, and to let a man
4Mtcape with a two or three year sen
tence after literally “taking a town”
[ tjhen shooting down an officer will
tend 'to create more disrespect of our I
laws.

mnile. “It might have been worse.” He
' Was exactly right, j We are not sur

there are criminals in many parts of
the State who smiled when fifty read
qf this case. It is enough to make ev
f eryone smile except those people who

ipfiit’is hard to understand why Ho

MRS. WINTERS' ADDRESS
Before tne General Federation of Wo
men’s Clubs In Atlanta.
conscience" I>V asserting "our old rou
ted many of its timidities she said, de
believe Washington would warn us
Atlanta, Ga, May 11 (By the As- :
sociated Press). —Development of a
“socialised conscience" was described :
here tonight by Mrs. Thomas G. Win
ter of Minneapolis, president of the !
General Federation of Women's Clubs,
as the “first push off toward a new
morality." This she declared "is shown •
in a change that has gone op almost '
unperceived during the last genera
tion.” i
Speaking before the mid-biennial of
the council here, Mrs. Winter illus- !
jtrated her definition of "socialized :
conscience" by assertin “our old con
ception of charity—tile giving doles to 1
the unfortunate—has faded into dis
repute." '
“What gifts must la> given are now
regarded as one would tliiuk of tern- 1
pornr.v medicine to meet an immediate 1
demand," she continued, “but we are
not satisfied with such a solution. It
looks ugly to us. Nothing really sat
isfies us except to set in motion forces ]
that will wine out. the need of char
ity. through public health, through
temperance, through industrial condi- 1
tious. IVe do not want paupers as an
eternal means of satisfying our lienev- 1
olent superiority. We want self-re- 1
specting, self rejoicing hitman beings
on a level with ourselves."
The sitettker cited history in support 1
of her presentation of the "transform
ing vitality of an idea.” adding "cer- !
tain new great ideals are striking the i
gong today." The greatest danger fnc- 1
ing the old world." she said, „"in this 1
new age is that of this htig?r'mechan
ism. this even more intricate and more :
marvelous machine <ff modem civili
zation."
"As a result.” she asserted, "we get 1
to think of life in terms of that me- 1
domical success and lose sight of tin* 1
great energy and pulses of emotion 1
that turn the world, A civilization. 1
she continued, "is ifldeed materialistic,
when it thus forgets: and materialism 1
is dust and ashes in the mouth of ev- <
eryone who feeds on It ahum."
The president gave as her remedy 1
the realization of "our eternal individ- <
ualism." The very "dissatisfaction 1
with the grinding business of civiliza- '
tion is producing a counter-irritant. "
she said, “a vocal and Vociferous cla
mor for recognition on the part of my
riads of those who are under, the
wheels of civilization, now crying out ■
that they will not lie dogged in a vast
machine but human beings demanding
the first right of human lieings. self- 1
expression, satisfaction and a real
share in the great game.
“Sometimes the self-expression is :
discord, the satisfaction gross, the
grammar nmdnes's. When we turn
from our fear of u smooth, hard, re
lentless civilization, that is only bus
iness dominant, we fact the other fear
of something that seems like a range
of active volcanoes. It hursts out in
blocs, farmers', labofites, feminists,
dannites. demanding that law should ;
be taken out of the hands of authori
ties and put into the hands of the un
authorized. The highest volcano, the
most lurid and black-clouded we dub
Bolshevism. So we wind our way be
tween Nylin and Uharybdis. The
world is like a red hot stove arid wher
ever we touch it. it sizzles."
Out of the tumult of “these abso
lutely conflicting elements we have
got to make a new world," Mrs. Win
ters asserted, adding "when we oaiiize
that ideals rule the world it is like
setting that goal that makes up walk
straight toward our destination, al
most unconsciously, certainly unwor
ried by the process.”
If we can “back our tumultous lives
with serenity—with this constant re
alization of the purposeful energy of
the world wherein we live, two things
are coming to us: first, the kind of
. perspective that makes us select im
portant activities and avoid the con
fusion of lesser issues; second, we are
going to use our energies without ex
’ ha listing them, we are going to be left
[ with added vitality and strength in
stead of being outworn old hulks," she
said.
1 Mrs. Winter urged the delegates to
- harvest the experience of life, “wife
, hood, motherhood,, the daily task of
our vigorous youth, harvest this into a
public service that in the old days of
’ the world was thrown into the dust
•■>.-"■■/■■! •-'.ajLfc*'.',jik^jeaii.«• t u—uaupih ■», J ::^z~7 ts
'heap and forgotten.”
People of the present day have dis
carded much “youthful falseness of
ideals and self-seeking, and elimlnat-'
ed many of its timidities she said. deVi
daring that “now is the time to turn
this mellow ripeness of ours” into pub
lic service.'
“Modern civilization,” she continued,
“goads us to sharpen our spiritual fac
ulties by continually doing. I said we
had two great fears, one on our right,
and one on our left, one the fear of "a:
too mechanical world,, the other the
fear of too. anarchistic world. Either
menace is capable of wiping out our
civilization if it gets the upper hand.
One would make life too dreary to be
lived. Only by some white heat fus
ion toward which we are dimly grop
ing, but which we have got to woyk
out. are we going to get an end urine
structure.” ' -
A “socialized consciousness,” Mrs.
Winters said, “recognized many kinds
of standards and varieties of thought
and achievement and recognizes them
with resjiect. So all down the line we
are readjusting our public conscious
ness. In nothing is this more visible
than in the world of international re
lation. It is intolerably stupid to fail
to realize that* here our whole point
of view has .shifted. I have an idea
that if Washington lived in the twen
tieth century instead of the eighteenth,
in the most powerful nation in the
world instead of in' a country just
stiuggling into national existence and
attempting to try out principles at
which all the rest of the world turns
longing and hungry eyes and not only
for bread- but for a realization of our
own magnificent democratic ideals—l
believe Washington would tarn -us
more today against entangling hatreds
Hi,in against entangling alliances.”
The sqleaker praised the work of the ,
Washington Anus Conference, of ;
which she was one of the four women
members of the advisory committee. !
Tliis. she assertod, was one step, of '
“value only if it is followed by more ]
steps and still more steps." ,
Mrs. Winters declared that "what- ;
ever persons and whatever parties of- j
fer suggestions or methods by Which
we cun substitute la<v for lawlessness,
let us seize upon the opportunities of
fered. I lieg the women of America,
when such magnificent issues are at
stake, not to let them lie decided by :
personalities or partisanship. This ‘
thing is a matter of supreme righ- , ‘
teousuess and of all the future of the
world, and no contemptible small per
sonality, no old antagonisms should (
weigh In the balance." ,
The speaker illustrated this eoun- |
try's depemlnhce upon the countries of ;
the World in many witys. asserting
that it came home in a hundred way*.,
but in none more striking than that of'
the opium evil.
••There are certain phases of this |
inter-relation,'' she continued, "that J
are knocking at our national con- >;
sciences now. Perhaps, when we think *
of the opium trade in China, it is-with j!
a little sense of moral superiority and *
immunity, but when the best official jj
reports that we can get tell us that \
we are consuming more in America '
than any other nation, that there are 1
probably .10.000 drug addicts in New
York City and SO,(Kit) in Philadelphia,
and 00.0',K) in Massachusetts, and near
ly a million in the United States, 1
that we use more opium tjpin France.
Germany and Italy combined, and that
ninety per cent, of the opium in the
United States is used as dope and not
ns medicine, awl when we know the
relation of this hideous trade to crime,
to economic laws, to physical deter
ioration and to moral death, perhaps
no other single fact can bring home
to us more conclusively the necessity
for our sharing in the great interna
tional movement that.must begin with
the prevention of the raising of poppy
and then must hound the peddler and
smugglers of it until there is no dark
spot in any nation in the world where
they can hide themselves."
American embassies, Mrs. Winters
described as “feelers," stretching into
all the countries of the world.
“A tremendous element in interna
tional understanding,” she said, "would
be to make sure "that those men and
women, have a thorough-knowledge of
international law and are also famil
iar with the principles of their own
government. "It is time to stop aie
pointing men to consular offices eith
er as a matter of political reward or
because they have the money in'their
pockets and enjoy the diplomatic game
on its social side," she said.

Mothers of Famous Mot
,i, UK,’, ,
The Mather of Leland Stanford, Jr.
. In the beautiful buildings of Leland
•Stanford University near Palo Alto.
California, there hang three pictures—
one of Leland Stanford, the pioneer
and one of the makers of California:
the other, of Leland Stanford, Jr., for
whom the great-University is named:
and the third, the sweet, kindly face
of June Lathrop Stanford, the mother
of the ione iip whose name the Univer
sity exists. ‘ ' * .*■- *
Jane Lathrop was a woman of great
mental power and of high character.
When she united her fortunes with
those of Leland Stanford -the young
lawyer, she was ready to follow her
husband to any place, and to endure
any hardships for his sake. She did
go with him to California, and there
Ueljted him in slowly building up the
{aud and thereby, his own power and
-w<>«lth. In those first years Jane
Lathrop Stanford worked hard and en
dured much, but with later years came
great wealth, and the opportunity for
every luxury. ■ ,
She was forty-two when Leland
Stanford. Jr., was I torn, a son whom
she named nfter*the father- —for there
was no man living whom she admired
more than that stalwart, far-seeing,
hard-working pioneer. For seventeen
years the mother cared for the boy.
and saw in him the high hopes of the
fntuYe. Then came the blow. Death
rubbed her of her only c-hild. “What
lira* IsT all this money!” she thought.
“What is there left to live for*?” Then
caiue the thought: “There, are other
mothers! There are other sons! I,
will ■ live for them !” idle talked with
her husband, and led him to the found
ing of a university—where boys, such
as theirs had lieen. could gain an edu
(ntion. Together tlrey poured out
mere than twenty million dollars for
the university, qnd named it in lov
ing memory of Leliind Stanford, Jr.—
ihe most notable maker of mother love
in all the United States.
Maybe Right.
A lion tamer who bought liquor
from n bootlegger stated afterward
dint whisky was a necessity for
one of, his calling. At that there
may be something “to his argument.
