STEVENSON ENLIGHTENS
CONGRESSMEN
Hon. Wiliam F. Stevenson recently
made a speech in Congress
that must have been very instructive
to some of the members of that body
of lawmakers. Mr. Stevenson indicated
by his speech that some of the
Congressmen are woefully ignorant
as to the cultivation of cotton. He
stated that some members of Congress
asked him how many years it took
for cotton to grow, others wanted to
know if the cotton crop had to be
planted every year.
They seemed to think it w'as like
some kind of grasses that had to be
planted only once and it would continue
to grow, year by year, wilthout
replanting.
Mr. Stevenson went into details as
to planting the seed, showing that besides
the great expense attending the
planting, the chopping and picking
and ginning there was to be spent on
an averaee $20 n??v
0- T ttvtv Avi lunui/AT
to start with. He presented figures to
show that at 20 cents per pound there
would be a deficit of $65,550,000 and
at 15 cents the deficit would be, in
South Carolina, $180, 631,520 actual
loss.
HON. HAMILTON LEWIS HOPEFUL
Hon. Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago,
who led the administration in the
Senate, has been visiting Augusta,
Georgia. In an interview with the
Chronicle of that city he explained
the most optimistic views as to the
South's coming prosperity.
He said:
"The business of the nation will
soon be huming with all prosperity,
but particularly the South, and especially
all the cotton states, will be
the first to feel the new revival.
"Our people," said the Senator,
"must recall that Europe has to buy
. from us for ten years all that is necessary
to set her up in business and
government housekeeping. The great
countries of Europe are in the war
and financial ashes. These lands will
buy from us so soon as the new credits
from our land are adjusted. This
adjustment only awaits the establishment
of the financial and economic
policy of the new American administration.
Then everything will start on
the new road.
"The South is now the cotton cloth
country of the world. Its competitors
in Europe and Asia cannot for six
years get a start to supply their own
needs. China and Japan demand Southern
cotton at once. But exchange in
money delays this supply to the Chinese
and Japanese mills.
"Senator Harris, of Georgia, when
lately in the Orient, gave personal attention
to this feature for Georgia,
and the demand of Germany and Austria
for the Southern cotton is only ,
waiting for our American banks to
agree on some method of credit depending
on the terms of the new
peace treaty of the United States and
Germany and her allies."
A thief attending church in Chicago
slipped into the choir room and
stole valuables from the overcoats of
the male singers. As he left the
church the usher kindly invited him
to come again?he said he would.

A GREAT HELP
44 T SUPPOSE you do your own
JL washing, ma'am?" Inquired th?
orruj Rirnnger,
"Yes, I do, although I don't see thai
It's any of your business," re
plied Mrs. Curfew, with some warmth
"I suppose you'll
be telling me thai
Vmnwm government bureau'
or maybe
^ board of health
It seems thai
two somebody
comes along asking Impertinent questions
as to how many children I have,
and my maiden name before I was
married, and whether there's Insanity
In the family,
"I'm sick and tired of answering
such questions. If my old friends
want to dig into my family history,
I'll give them nil the information they
want, although I may consider their
conundrums In had taste, hut when a
perfect stranger comes along and asks
me if T do my own washing. T feel that
the line must he drawn somewhere,
livery jack in office asks questions. It
used In he that the assessor would
come to the door politely, and inquire
how many dogs we kept, and take our
estimate of the valtie of our property
without looking as though he
knew we ought to he prosecuted for
perjury. Hut now lie must know the
color of your grandfather's side whis
kers, and if you toll him that you keep
no flogs ho trues out and looks under
the houso. and In tlio barn, and when
ho cornos hack ho warns you that the
penalties for giving false Information
are severe.
"Mr. Curfew; says that the next
rtme the assessor oontos, he is going
to throw hlui over the bark fence and
kick him down the alley for a distance
of seven blocks, and I hope he'll
keep his word."
"I didn't mean to offend you." said
the stranger. Tra Introducing a washing
powder that saves half the labor,
ami dispenses with soap altogether.
With this marvelous powder a woman
can do the week's washing and have
her clothes hnng on the line, Inside of
two hours."
"Well, mister, you take a package
of your marvelous powder down to
the creek, and give yourself a good
scrubbing, for you look as though you
had been fishing out of somebody's
dustbin. Your whiskers are full of
sawdust, and your face Is covered
with grime. If you were Introducing
bituminous coal, there might he some
excuse for your appearance, hut a
man who Is selling wnshing powder
ought to lie like the driven snow, or
nobody will have confidence In him.
"And I wouldn't have anything to
do with your washing powder if you
offered to bring me a wagonload for
twenty cents. I make my own soap
of lye and grease, and although It
isn't Indorsed by the crowned heads
of Europe, or by prelates or vice presidents,
It's the best soap ever made,
and I know the Ingredients are wholesome,
even if they don't comprise
harks and buds and healing herbs.
"When I use my own sonp, I know
the things I wash won't be any the
worse for It, but the washing powders
sold by agents are made of dynamite
and lunar caustic, and a garment once
washed with them wlM never he fit
lo use again.
"Lost spring I was feeling too poorly
to make the usual batch of soap,
so I bought n package of washing
jvowder from an agent who had hie
pockets full of testimonials showing
that he was a mah of high moral character.
It happened that week that
all of Mr. Curfew's white shirts were
In the wash. Mr. Curfew Is very particular
about his shirts. They must
he as white as arctic snow, or the way
lie raves around the house is a disgrace.
WeTi, I wish you could have
seen those shirts after thev were
washed. They had an old gold color,
and have boon getting yellower ever
since, and Mr. Curfew never sits down
I nit he speaks about It and makes
I bln^s uncomfortable.
"So you had better toddle alone
and sell your washing powder to some
woman who doesn't know how to make
(i'xid soap."

t I. The Tribute Money (vv. 15-22).
i I The Pharisees and Herodlans pur- di
- posed to entrap Jesus and bring Him th
Into conflict with the Roman govern- t)
I ment, so they came to Him with the
subtle question, "Is It lawful to give
tribute to Caesar or not!" At tills
time the Jews were galling under the
yoke of the Roman government. Some
even denied the right to pay tribute
to the government. To have answered : 2
this question by "yea" or "no" would y<
have Involved difficulties. To have an- la
swered "yes" would have conveyed the lo
Inipresston of endorsement of all that o,
the Roman government did. To have je
answered "no" would have at once
brought Him Into conflict with the government.
It Is not an easy matter for
a Christian always to determine his
right relation to civil government.
Many a minister has made a failure P<
of hl^ work because he tried to solve al
the problem. Christ's reply to this &
question, properly understood and applied,
is the final word on the sub* nj
Ject. Until the civil authorities de- y)(
mund of us that which Is a violation j
of God's law, we are bound to render
unto them obedience. "Render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesar's" ' |1
means me nignest obligation. Since j
enjoying His protection nnd care It Is ei
our duty to owe all allegiance to Illm, se
to yield our lives to Illin In service, 2
worship and praise. Every one who _
enjoys the benefits of civil government r
Is obliged to pay the taxes which
are necessary for the support of that
government, and every one who receives
God's fnvor Is placed under a
like obligation Tint? Him.
II. The Qreat Commandment In the
Law (w. 34-40).
For the third time In one day the
Lord Is tried by hard questions. While
these questioners were actuated by
wrong motives, we may be forever glad
1 that they put these questions to Him
because of the Invaluable truth which ]
Ills answers set forth.
1. The first commandment (vv.34- ,
38). "Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with nil thy heart, with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind." This
means that supreme and undivided
love to God ft the first and great commandment.
This at once shows that
man's supreme obligation Is to God.
It Is wrong to evaluate man's char- '
acter on the basis of his morality as ;
expressed In his relation to his fellow
man.
2. The second commandment (vv.
39-40). The second commandment la !
like unto the first in that It centers I
In love. It Is not said that It Is equal
unto the first; that would not be true.
A man may love himself, hut not supremely.
One's love for his neighbor
may be either too much or too little.
IThe measure set Is love for self. We
should love God better than ourselves. |
He Is worthy of all our affections and j
demands all. I-ove is not mere emo- j
tlon, hut a supreme desire for the wel- j
fnre of another and a willingness to
do everything possible to secure that
end. The cuimnund to love our neigh- '
bor is involved in the command to love
i God. To pretend to love God Is folly
[ If we do not love our neighbor. No
one does reall^- love his neighbor who
i does not love God. To attempt to
! estnbllsh u brotherhood among men ?
without the recognition of the Fatherhood
of God Is utter nonsense. Men g^
become children of God by faith In
Jesus Ohrtisf. It Is true that In the C<
sense of being God's creatures nil men B
are God's children, but In the New i
Testament sense men are only God's
children as they are In Christ. Beware
I of the man who is constantly crying L<
for the brotherhood of man and Is at ta
the same time rejecting Jesus Christ. C
The only renl way to bring In the
brotherhood of man is to preach Jesus
Christ unto the race and secure their m
acceptance of Him. We thus become ar
brothers In the renl sense of the term, | Bl
when we have God hs our Father. All j aj
obligations resting upon man are em- Pi
; braced In these two commandments. | C.

Thomas jefferson as much as
Abraham Lincoln,
Was nursed at the breast _
Of the unexhausted West
At the time of his birth beneath ooe
of Its foothills the Blue Ridge of Virginia
was the American frontier. The
farm on which he was born had been
cleared in the wild forest by his pioneer
father when the smoke of a
neighbor's chimney hardly could be
seen from his cabin door. *
When he rode east, with his darting
fiddle under his arm, to be a student
at William and Mary college, the toll,
slender, sandy-haired, snub-nosed,
freckled-faced seventeen-year-old boy
of the frontiersman never had seen n
mansion, a church or a village of
twenty houses, and he looked with a
afro n rror'a ovoa iinnn thn Kniv\nlo1
VIiV ./a.v-.u.
Jefferoon In 1776.
pfide and display of the old families
who formed the viceregal court at Williamsburg.
To support the large family of his
mother on their too small farm Jefferson
turned to the law. In seven years
at the bar he doubled his estate and
Increased his slaves to 400. Buying
the little mountain at whose feet he
was born, he built upon its summit
from plans of his own drawing, with
bricks of his own making and with
wood of his own cutting, the noblest
house In all Virginia. There at Montlcello
he made his home ever after.
Jefferson's law practice continued
rapidly to grow until It amounted to
$2,500 a year, when he abandoned It
forever to prosecute George III In the
great and general court of mankind.
He had heard the first call of the Revolntlon
while a law student In Williamsburg.
Its clarion had been ringing
In his ears ever since he stood, an
eager looker-on, In the door of the
house of burgesses, ne saw Washington
in his seat and he saw his own
friend, Patrick Henry, a fiddling Virginian
like himMelf, holding the floor
amid cries of treason as he Invited the
king to profit by the example of Caesar,
who had his Brutus, and Charles
I, who had his Cromwell.
The sword, the tongue and the pen
of American freedom were well met
that memorable day. After the pen
had waited twelve years for Its turn
to speak Jefferson sat In the congress
at Philadelphia. The squire of Monticello
wus a silent member, as silent
as the squire of Mount Vernon. Opportunity
and duty went straight to
those two speechless congressmen as
the needle lenna tn n lnoiiotAno
After serving as governor of Virginia
and member of congress Jefferson
was sent as minister to the court
of France. "You replace Doctor Franklin,"
the Count Vergennes said to him
on his arrival In Paris. "I succeed
him," the new envoy happily replied;
"no one can replace Doctor Franklin."
Six weeks and a day after he had
seen that old France of the Bourbons
crash beneath the walls of the Rastille
Jefferson left I'arls to become our first
secretary of state. Taking his seat at
the right of Washington h<f was face
to face across the cabinet table with
Alexander Hamilton, the secretary of
the treasury.
By nature and training the two
were as opposite In their political opinions
as In their chairs, and they found
themselves, as Jefferson said, "pitted !
like fighting cocks." As they fought
and the feathers flew a grcnt crowd
collected behind each to urge on Its
favorite In that cocking main over
which Washington had the unhnpplness
to preside.. Quickly all the people
In the land took one Bide or the other
and formed themselves Into the two
political parties which with changing
names and changing disputes have divided
the country to this day.
